Question: How does it feel to have Emperor Wu of Han as your father and Chen Ajiao as your mother?
Liu Tan: Thank you for the invitation. I'm in the Han dynasty, just stepped out of a...
Princess Danyang didn't write much in the letter, but the first sentence had a thunderous effect: Brother, I asked Junxumi to poison Liejiaomi!
After Liu Tan recovered, he jumped up instantly and rushed to Weiyang Palace with the letter in his hands as if he was scalded.
Bigo quickly stopped him and said, "Your Highness, curfew is almost here. Where are you going?"
Liu Tan glanced at the sky, took a deep breath, and let the cold air cool him down.
He turned around and went back to the study to continue reading the letter.
Although the opening is a thunderclap, in fact, Princess Danyang is not that exciting in the rest of the content... That's strange!
Princess Danyang basically wrote about her inner journey and what she did.
In fact, Princess Danyang didn’t do much. What could she do after being married for less than a year?
The most she did was to influence Junxumi.
Although before leaving, Liu Tan had implicitly told Princess Danyang to try her best to establish a good relationship with Junxumi if possible.
But in fact he didn't say much. No matter what Danyang's true identity was, she was raised as a princess. Letting her use her youth and beauty to achieve her goals may go against her values.
However, Princess Danyang was bolder than he thought, and she began to have contact with Junxumi soon after her marriage.
However, Princess Danyang's bottom line was not lowered so quickly. She was just having an ambiguous relationship with Junxumi.
For Junxumi, domestic flowers are not as fragrant as wild flowers, a wife is not as good as a concubine, a concubine is not as good as a secret lover, and secret lover is not as good as not being able to steal.
If you look closely at what Princess Danyang did, you will see that it was done out of her status as an elder. Even Lie Jiaomi couldn't say anything and praised Princess Danyang for being good to Junxumi.
But Junxumi was completely bewitched by her and even began to look forward to his grandfather's death so that he could inherit the estate.
This inheritance included Lie Jiaomi’s wives and concubines.
Of course, such thoughts were very secretive, but Princess Danyang was able to guess his thoughts, so she set up traps step by step, such as deliberately letting Junxumi see her crying, and sitting outside alone at night to watch the stars.
Anyway, the focus is on the fact that she is alone in her empty room and that Lie Jiaomi is not good enough to her.
Junxumi felt sorry for the beauty and naturally wanted to comfort her, but was rejected by Princess Danyang.
The more Princess Danyang rejected him, the more itchy he became. In addition, as Liejiaomi's health gradually declined, his temper became more and more strange. He used to dote on Junxumi, but during that period of time, Liejiaomi seemed to have become a different person and was very harsh to him.
From Liu Tan's perspective, Liejiaomi previously favored Junxumi because Junxumi was his eldest grandson, partly because his eldest son died early, and partly because of transference.
The reason why he is being strict with Junxumi now is because Liejiaomi knows that his time is running out and he has regarded Junxumi as his successor, so naturally he cannot be too lenient with him.
But Junxumi was in the middle of the situation and naturally couldn't see it. He just thought that Liejiaomi was going to change his mind, especially when he heard Liejiaomi regret that Lu Xuan, also known as An Yanmi, was not born after the Great Wusun, Junxumi felt even more sense of crisis.
In Junxumi's eyes, Lu Xuan had already been in charge of a country for a long time and was very close to the Han Dynasty. Of course, he was more accomplished than him. If he could become the Kunmi of Wusun soon, he believed that he would be no worse than Lu Xuan.
It has to be said that this idea was only vaguely buried in his heart before, but as time went by, his idea became clearer and clearer.
In this process, Princess Danyang acted as the confidant.
Although he rejected Junxumi, he did not completely avoid him. He just acted like an elder and comforted Junxumi when facing him.
The gentleness of the young lady from the Central Plains made Junxumi more and more obsessed with her. In addition, Wusun itself had no written language and the whole country was illiterate, not to mention the young lady's quality.
Princess Danyang was a well-educated person. In addition, she had been studying and practicing the Wusun language diligently over the past few days. Some idioms became high-end and gorgeous after being translated into the Wusun language by her. Junxumi became more and more infatuated with her.
The more obsessed one is, the more painful it is, because one cannot get it. So after Princess Danyang "inadvertently" revealed that Lie Jiaomi was taking medicine and could not touch certain things, the evil thoughts in Junxumi's heart became stronger and stronger.
In the end, he finally killed Lie Jiaomi, and he was able to succeed because Lie Jiaomi had absolute trust in him. In the end, Lie Jiaomi never thought that the grandson he had loved all his life would attack him.
After Liejiaomi died, Junxumi could not wait to ask Princess Danyang to marry him. This was the custom of Wusun.
Princess Danyang gave up her love and knew that marrying Junxumi was the best choice, or rather the choice she had to make, because she needed a child.
However, in order to maintain her image, Princess Danyang of course refused, saying that there was no such custom in the Han Dynasty and she could not agree to it.
Junxumi admired her chastity very much, but the more he cared about her, the more itchy he felt. However, he was still relatively gentle towards Princess Danyang, so he directly suggested that Princess Danyang write a letter to the Emperor of Han to inquire.
Princess Danyang wrote a letter to Liu Che. She did not feel any pressure when writing the letter. She believed that Liu Che would definitely let her stay in Da Wusun and marry Junxumi.
Putting aside her sensitive identity, why did the Han Dynasty marry the princess? Wasn't it just to win over the Wusun?
If Junxumi didn't marry her, the Han Dynasty might have to marry another princess to him. Now is the perfect time to do so, as it can save money and manpower.
But after the letter was sent, Princess Danyang suddenly remembered that she had a mother who was very capable of fighting.
A widowed daughter in the Han Dynasty can return to her parents' home, and her mother will definitely take the opportunity to let her go back.
Princess Danyang didn't know who would win in the confrontation between the emperor and the queen, but she didn't dare to gamble, so she quickly wrote an additional letter to Liu Tan, asking Liu Tan to find a way to persuade the queen.
She had worked so hard to plan until today, and all she needed to do was give birth to a child so that Junxumi would die. How could she give up halfway?
After reading it, Liu Tan felt completely lost: Who am I? Where am I? What have I done?
Danyang had fled to the Great Wusun and was plotting to usurp the throne, while he was still playing in the mud here.
Bah, playing in the mud and still doing construction.
It felt as if their genders had been swapped.
However, what Princess Danyang said made sense. However, if she wanted to persuade Chen Ajiao, she couldn't use the interests of the country to pressure her.
Princess Danyang had already been married once, so how could she marry that man's grandson again? Was there any respect for family ethics?
If Chen Ajiao used this as an excuse to get Danyang back, perhaps many people would support her.
But if you want Chen Ajiao to agree, you must let her know what the situation is.
After putting down the letter, Liu Tan decided to go find Chen Ajiao the next day. Then, when he was subconsciously tidying up his desk, he saw what he had just been doing - painting patterns on the tableware to be presented to Chen Ajiao and Liu Che.
Liu Tan glanced at the draft and then at the letter from Princess Danyang in his hand. Forget it, why think so much? It's impossible to dominate the world. I can only make a living by inventing things.
The next day, Liu Tan went to find Chen Ajiao. Sure enough, Chen Ajiao's first reaction after hearing that Old Kunmi had died was: "Can Danyang come back?"
Liu Tan quickly dismissed his attendants and whispered Princess Danyang's thoughts. Chen Ajiao angrily said, "What's so good about that shabby place? It's nothing compared to Chang'an. Even if she became queen there and had real power, what good would it do?"
Liu Tan was silent for a long moment before he said, "But Danyang has seen the vastness of the world outside. How can he be willing to come back and be a canary in a cage?"
Chen Ajiao didn't say anything else. The description of a canary in a cage was so accurate. Isn't that what she is?
Even if she is the queen, so what? In order to keep the queen position, Danyang has tried her best. If Danyang has a child, it may not be impossible.
Chen Ajiao's heart instantly beat fast. She looked at Liu Tan and asked, "Danyang's goal isn't just to become the queen of the Great Wusun, right? What will she do after she has a child?"
Liu Tan hesitated and said, "With a child, Junxumi may be useless."
Chen Ajiao stared at Liu Tan and asked, "Isn't this what you told her?"
Liu Tan was a little embarrassed: "I just said it casually."
Chen Ajiao suddenly smiled and said, "I understand. Let's go find His Majesty."
Liu Tan was stunned for a moment: "Ah? What do you want to see Father for?"
Chen Ajiao said, "What can Danyang do with the 500 soldiers she has? Even launching a coup would be dangerous. Send her some more men."
Liu Tan was stunned for a moment. Why was Chen Ajiao so easy to talk to this time?
When he followed Chen Ajiao out of the Pepper Palace, a sudden idea flashed in his mind: Could it be that he and Princess Danyang had opened the door to a new world for Chen Ajiao?
