Chapter 401 Return Alive

It is true that the Third Prince is cruel, but that is only towards his subordinates and servants whom he does not care about, and does not include his own brothers and sisters.

And because of his background, he has always been in a superior position, thinking that no one among his brothers and sisters can compete with him.

The King of Mobei also deliberately praised him, giving him the illusion that the throne belonged to him.

Although his mother always reminded him that Wujina had the support of her mother's clan and should not be underestimated.

But because Wujina disguised herself so well and she was a woman, there had not been a queen in Mobei for a long time.

So he still regarded Wujina as a sister who needed his protection.

It was not until this moment that he realized that his sister was not what he had imagined.

"You mean, he'll kill me too."

Maybe he had suddenly learned too many things these days, and after the shock, his expression was a little numb when he said this.

Wuzhina said, "He wants to ascend the throne, and you and I are the biggest obstacles. He won't even let me go, so how could he let you go?"

In everyone's eyes, the third prince Batu is more threatening than Princess Wujina.

Batu finally calmed down and looked at Wujina with a complicated expression: "Wouldn't it be better for you to stay in Daxia and marry? Why do you have to get involved in all this?"

Wujina sneered, "Third Prince, you've been in Daxia for a few days now. Haven't you seen what kind of lives the women here lead? If I entered the Daxia Emperor's harem, I might never have the chance to step out again in my life. I'm a princess from Mobei. I won't be favored, and I won't even have my own children. Do you think that's good?"

Batu was so stunned that he couldn't speak.

He was even unwilling to marry a woman from Daxia as his princess. Wujina was the pearl of the grassland, so how could she be suitable to be imprisoned in the palace of Daxia?

Wujina seemed to understand his concerns and said with a smile, "Third Prince, there's no need to think too much now. What we need to think about now is how to get back alive."

If I can't return to Mobei alive, no matter how much I think about it, it's useless.

Speaking of this, Batu was a little angry: "What on earth is father thinking? Bilige was born into a lowly family. No tribal leader would be willing to recognize a son born to a slave woman as their leader. And if we all die in Daxia, how will he explain it when he returns?"

Seeing that he still hadn't figured it out, Wujina reminded him, "Why do you think our father sent us to Daxia? Are we really here to negotiate? Our father has long been determined to go to war with Daxia. As long as Bilige blames the Daxia people for our deaths, the people behind us will be driven by them to seek revenge."

Batu was stunned.

Wujina didn't say anything else and let him think about it himself.

She always felt that her third brother was simple-minded and strong-limbed, and was a very suitable person to charge into battle on the battlefield.

But when it comes to intrigue and scheming, he is far inferior to the fifth brother.

Batu thought about it for a long time before he realized that what Wujina said might be true.

Once he acknowledged that Wujina was smarter than him, he didn't hesitate and asked directly: "Then what should we do?"

His life was at stake, so he dared not be careless.

Wujina whispered a few words in his ear, and Batu nodded: "Don't worry, I will do as you say."

He may not be very smart, but he is not self-righteous either.

This is Daxia. It would be in vain if his leg was broken, and if he died, it would probably be in vain too.

Oh, it wasn’t a wasted death, his father would use this as an excuse to attack Daxia.

But if he is already dead, why should we help Bilige?

If that happens, he will die with regret.

On this day, Xiao Yue came to pay her respects to the empress dowager early in the morning.

Ji Yunshu hadn't seen her for some time. Of course, it was also because she suddenly got engaged and it was difficult for her to go out.

After chatting with the Queen Mother for a while, the two went to the pavilion outside.

Seeing Xiao Yue's rosy face, Ji Yunshu smiled and said, "I haven't congratulated you yet, you've found a good match."

Xiao Yue felt a little embarrassed, but thinking that Ji Yunshu knew everything about her, she said, "I should thank you. If it weren't for you and Prince Zhao's help, things wouldn't have gone so smoothly."

Ji Yunshu said, "It's your persistence that led to this result. What we did was insignificant."

In fact, she couldn't tell whether it was right to help Xiao Yue complete this marriage.

Xiao Yue was certainly happy at this moment, but life is so long, who knows whether she and Lan Ting can really remain in love as before.

Xiao Yue seemed to understand what she was thinking and smiled, "Don't worry, I chose the person myself. Even if he doesn't live well in the future, I won't blame you."

Ji Yunshu didn't expect that this girl would become so smart. He couldn't help but secretly complain, could it be that IQ is really contagious?

"I can't help it. With your condition, if Lanting sells you out, you might even have to help him count the money. How can I not worry?"

Xiao Yue laughed at what she said: "Stop being such a jinx! He finally married me and treated me so well, why would he sell me out?"

Ji Yunshu saw that she was smiling, and it was obvious that she had great confidence in Lan Ting, so he didn't say anything to spoil the mood.

While we are alive, we should enjoy the few days we can live happily.

Worrying about trivial things all day long will only make you age faster and have no other benefits.

Xiao Yue, however, didn't know what was on her mind. She suppressed her smile and asked worriedly, "What happened between you and Prince Zhao? It's been a hot topic these days."

Ji Yunshu said without much interest, "It's just what you heard. It's actually not a big deal."

Xiao Yue said, "Isn't it just a slave girl sent by the people of Mobei? It's no big deal, right? How can you always live with the Queen Mother?"

Ji Yunshu narrowed his eyes and looked at her: "If someone gave Lan Ting a woman and he accepted her, wouldn't you think it was a big deal?"

Xiao Yue immediately said, "I was wrong. I shouldn't have said that. Let's not have Zhao Shen anymore. You're young and beautiful, and you have the Empress Dowager's support. You can find any man you want. I'll help you find one."

Ji Yunshu gave her a half-hearted smile: "Then my future happiness depends on you."

Xiao Yue was a little curious: "Are you really not sad?"

Just now, after listening to Ji Yunshu, she felt very uncomfortable just thinking about Lan Ting having an affair with another woman.

Ji Yunshu said, "A little bit. How are you going to comfort me?"

Xiao Yue said, "You're feeling bored in the palace, so why not go outside and relax?"

Ji Yunshu's eyes flickered slightly, and he asked suspiciously, "It's so hot now, there's nothing fun outside, right?"

Xiao Yue said, "It's rare to get out. Even though it's hot, everyone still gets active when they need to. I heard quite a few people have held small banquets, but unfortunately my mother has been keeping me at bay, fearing I might cause trouble. Why don't we go out together tomorrow?"

Ji Yunshu said, "You got into trouble the last time you went out. Haven't you learned your lesson?"

Xiao Yue didn't take it seriously: "You can't be afraid of ropes for ten years after being bitten by a snake once. Besides, my marriage is already arranged, and I don't think anyone will plot against me again. Otherwise, why would my mother let me out?"

Ji Yunshu thought about it and realized that if there was no conflict of interest, who would bother to plot against the daughter of the Prince's Mansion?
