Chapter 363: Looking for a Fuse for a War
Not only did they give her fabric, but when they learned that she was about to get married, Deng Youning and Li Tianzhuo also specially gave her a red veil.
"Poisoning you before was not a gentleman's act. We were forced into a corner."
"After all, you are the descendant of the eldest princess. In the future, I will still be your cousin. If you need anything, you can just say I am your cousin."
It was probably the guilt of poisoning her.
From the beginning, Li Tianzhuo and Deng Youning could see that Fang Yiluo and her grandmother were not in the same group.
very nice.
Good shoots come from bad bamboo.
Fang Yiluo never expected what he said.
She assumed that Prince Changle and the others had forgiven her.
"Thank you, cousin and cousin-in-law. I hope you will be happy too!"
She sweetly called Deng Youning "cousin sister-in-law", and she had completely made peace with them.
Just as she had chosen the fabric, a fair-skinned young man walked in and greeted her.
Fang Yiluo's eyes instantly smiled.
Even if people didn't know him, they could guess his identity.
It was Fang Yiluo’s husband, Dai Jia Qilang!
Dai Qilang stepped forward, greeted everyone, then took Fang Yiluo’s things and left.
Seeing their backs leaning against each other, everyone couldn't help but smile.
I heard that this generation's Qilang has cut off all ties with his family in order to marry Fang Yiluo.
After all, no decent family would be willing to marry a traitor!
Fortunately, Dai Qilang's biological mother, Aunt Dai, is the daughter of a merchant family. In the future, they can follow their maternal grandparents to do business, and perhaps they will live a good life.
"Don't miss the newly launched Fu Guang Jin if you pass by. Come and take a look~"
Nangong stood at the door and helped shout.
The originally high-end fabric instantly became cheap goods after he promoted it like that.
Li Tianzhuo had no choice but to come out and persuade him to shut up.
While the two were fighting on the street, a young eunuch dressed in eunuch's clothes ran over.
It was obvious that he had come out of the palace. He knew that Xiangrongfang was open today, so he came here to find Prince Changle.
"Your Majesty, His Majesty has something urgent to do. Please come to the palace with Prince Yi."
"King Yi is already on his way, so hurry up too."
Seeing the young eunuch's anxious expression, Li Tianzhuo realized that something might have happened.
"What is the purpose of our father inviting us into the palace?"
Li Tianzhuo asked seriously.
The young eunuch glanced around and made sure no one was looking in their direction before whispering:
"A while ago, we sent a letter to Xilei Kingdom explaining the death of Princess Jiaxiang, and the old general of the Xilei Zhu family wrote back to us."
"The contents of the letter are somewhat unsatisfactory. Your Highness, why don't you go and read it yourself to His Majesty?"
The young eunuch didn't dare to continue speaking.
Li Tianzhuo also understood the general idea.
"Got it. You go back first. I will be there later."
Before leaving, Li Tianzhuo had to report to Deng Youning.
When we arrived at the Yangxin Palace, it was a mess everywhere. Emperor Nanxin had just smashed things to vent his anger.
At this moment, he was sitting at the desk with an angry face, as if he wanted to smash something to vent his anger.
King Yi was affected by him and his face looked bad.
But compared to Emperor Nan Xin's anger, his face was full of sorrow.
"Father, brother, what happened?"
As soon as Li Tianzhuo came in, he asked loudly.
Emperor Nan Xin just liked him and felt relieved when he saw him.
"You can see for yourself."
He handed the letter from Xilei to Li Tianzhuo.
Li Tianzhuo took a quick look and finally understood why his father and brother were so angry.
The West Front is really going too far.
They just want to find a fuse for starting a war.
The death of Jiaxiang and the entire delegation was also part of their plan; everything was destined.
"The West Fortress only gives us two options: war or compensation."
"As for compensation, they asked for 300,000 taels of gold!"
"They only compensated us 3,000 taels of gold for the Luoxia City incident, but this time they directly asked us for 300,000."
"My son thinks that they are just guessing that we can't afford the money, so we have no choice but to go to war with them."
"This amount of money is not small. Even if we in Nanxin can afford it, we should try not to pay it, because once the Zhu family gets this money, they will have more capital to attack Nanxin."
Li Tianzhuo analyzed it carefully.
Emperor Nanxin and Prince Yi also nodded frequently.
Every word he said made sense.
“But if a war breaks out, we will definitely lose without Dongji’s help.” King Yi said anxiously.
He absolutely does not advocate war.
"But even if we pay them three hundred thousand in compensation, we still help to embolden them."
"This war will start sooner or later."
"Unless you can send a famous assassin to kill the old general of the Zhu family."
Emperor Nan Xin agreed with Li Tianzhuo's words.
"Your brother is right. We will have a battle with the West Base sooner or later."
Emperor Nan Xin made up his mind and instructed Li Tianzhuo, "Go contact Dongji. If they are willing to help, then fight!"
"If you won't help, we'll find other ways."
Li Tianzhuo bowed and accepted the order before retreating.
That day, after explaining the matter to Deng Youning and the Han brothers and sisters, everyone sent a letter to Jun Chenyi.
It only takes twenty days to send a letter from Yuncheng to Dongji Capital by carrier pigeon, which is relatively short.
During these twenty days, they kept their troops in place, put the war behind them, and enjoyed a few days of leisure.
However, even if Dongji agreed to send troops, Li Tianzhuo also wanted to try his own assassination method.
However, his martial arts skills have not yet fully recovered.
How can you assassinate someone who can't even use his internal energy?
Deng Youning wanted to go in his place, but there was no way he would agree.
These days, Emperor Nan Xin's health has been getting worse and worse.
He secretly sought help from Divine Doctor Nie, but he was almost exhausted and even Divine Doctor Nie was helpless.
He was able to maintain his energy and spirit, so that outsiders could not tell his physical condition, all thanks to the medicine he took to maintain his health.
But, living till now is already the limit.
"Eunuch Cai, if I remember correctly, Tian'er's sealed internal energy has one last chance to be passed on."
"I have never been able to find a suitable person to teach him the skills. Before I die, I want to do this last thing for him."
At this time, Emperor Nan Xin, accompanied by Eunuch Cai, arrived at the former bedroom of Empress Zhuo.
When people are about to die, all they think about are the past and the people they miss who have passed away.
"Your Majesty, I advise you to think twice. If you pass on your skills, your life will be immediately wasted."
Eunuch Cai knew that the emperor's idea was tantamount to suicide.
"I've had enough of this life of having to rely on medicine to sustain my life."
"Before I die, I can still do something for Tian'er. It can be considered as doing justice to his mother."
Emperor Nan Xin has made up his mind.
Walking in Empress Zhuo's bedroom, his rough fingers touched the things that Empress Zhuo used when she was alive.
Each one is filled with memories.
Finally, he held Empress Zhuo's portrait in his hands and said with tears in his eyes:
"I have seen Princess Dongji for you. She knows how to protect Tian'er. After I leave, our Tian'er will be completely handed over to her."
"Although I am still worried that she will seize the imperial power of Nanxin, but, making Nanxin a vassal state of Dongji is better than being swallowed up by Xilei, right?"
Emperor Nan Xin heaved a sigh of relief, wiped away his tears and said to Eunuch Cai:
"It is better to do it now than to wait for a better day. Call Tian'er and the Princess Dongji to come to me."
