Chapter 526 The Master's Efforts Are Worth It
"Very good." Emperor Jing was very pleased with Prince Yongzhao's humility. He raised his eyes slightly and looked at Princess Muxi beside him: "Princess Muxi also thinks so? No matter which prince you marry, you will gladly accept it?"
"Your Majesty." Princess Muxi bowed and was about to speak when Crown Prince Yongzhao said, "No matter which prince Your Majesty chooses, not only will Muxi gladly accept him, but we at Yongzhao will also gladly accept him."
"From now on, our two countries will enjoy friendly relations and peaceful relations, intermarriage and business, and allow the people of both countries to live and work in peace and contentment."
Pleasant words flowed out of his mouth as if they were free. Prince Yongzhao looked deeply at Princess Muxi. Finally, Princess Muxi lowered her eyes and said, "Let me hear your Majesty's will."
"Good!" Emperor Jing slammed the table, his heart filled with joy. His laughter could be heard outside the tent. He smiled and said, "Good. Since Yongzhao is so sincere, then I naturally cannot let this sincerity down."
"Royal Consort, it just so happens that you just said that when the Second Brother was in trouble today, Princess Muxi and Miss Du both saved him, and then the three of them fainted together. This incident really shouldn't tarnish a woman's reputation."
"When in Rome, do as the Romans do. No matter how informal you Yongzhao may be, in Nanyue, a woman's reputation is more important than anything else. Today, I am celebrating a double happiness by marrying my second son two wives."
As soon as Emperor Jing finished speaking, Princess Muxi wanted to step forward to speak, but was held back by the Crown Prince of Yongzhao. He said, "Your Majesty, my sister Muxi was also raised in Yongzhao with great care. Being the Second Prince's consort is indeed a good thing. Muxi, you must serve the Second Prince well in the future. If you and the Second Prince get along well, your elder brother will also be happy when he returns to Yongzhao."
"Brother." Princess Muxi's lips moved. Prince Yongzhao grabbed her arm and said with a smile, "Muxi, why don't you thank His Majesty quickly?"
"I'm afraid you've misunderstood Prince Yongzhao." Emperor Jing spoke quietly, "Miss Du is the daughter of the current Minister of Justice, a veteran of two dynasties. She is the consort of the Second Prince, while Princess Muxi is a concubine."
Concubine?
Upon hearing this, Prince Yongzhao's expression darkened slightly as he said, "Your Majesty, our Princess Yongzhao is also a daughter of a wealthy family."
"Why, Prince Yongzhao doesn't sound too happy?" Emperor Jing played with the jade ring on his thumb, looked at him with deep eyes and said, "Concubine, have you treated Princess Muxi unfairly?"
"Or does Yongzhao have greater ambitions in the future?" Emperor Jing snorted. His voice was as cold as his smile just now.
The emperor's heart is unpredictable, and at this moment, it reaches its peak.
I was just worried that if Princess Muxi became the principal wife, although I could rely on Yongzhao's power in the future, it would be difficult for the Second Prince to ascend the throne. After all, the people of Nanyue don't need a foreign princess as their queen!
It’s different for a concubine. After the second son comes to power, she will be an empress. If he is happy, he can pamper her and give her children. If he is unhappy, he can let her be a decoration in the palace for the rest of her life!
The Imperial Noble Consort was thinking about this in her heart, but the sudden cold face and icy voice of Emperor Jing made her shudder. Your Majesty, do you really want your second son to marry Princess Muxi?
"Your Majesty, Yongzhao has absolutely no intention of going back on his word." Prince Yongzhao placed his hand on his chest and bowed slightly, saying, "We, Yongzhao, are sincere and will obey your Majesty's orders!"
Prince Yongzhao tugged at Mu Xi who was standing beside him. Mu Xi lowered her eyes and said, "I will follow your Majesty's orders." Anyway, when she came here, she knew that the person she would marry might not be the one she chose.
…
"We're not really going to spend the night here, are we?" Xiao Jiuyue was full and had been roasting by the fire for a long time. He began to feel drowsy, mainly because the fire was so comfortable.
"Jun Lie?" Xiao Jiuyue was fiddling with the firewood inside and didn't hear Jun Lie's response. She glanced over and saw that Jun Lie was actually sleeping against a tree with his eyes closed?
"Jun Lie?"
Xiao Jiuyue looked at his flushed face and reached out to touch his forehead. When she felt his scorching hot forehead, she exclaimed, "You have a fever!"
I was just chatting with him, and in the blink of an eye, he has a fever?
Xiao Jiuyue helped him sit up straight, lifted up his coat, and took a look at the wound inside. She had too little medicine on hand, so it was not convenient to stop the bleeding. Simply bandaging the wound was still not enough.
"Don't sleep." Xiao Jiuyue patted Jun Lie's face gently, trying to wake him up, but Jun Lie fainted from a fever.
No, we can't just sit there and wait for death.
Xiao Jiuyue looked around and decided to add all the firewood to make the fire burn more vigorously. The people who were looking for them should be here soon.
"If you hold on a little longer, we will definitely be rescued." Xiao Jiuyue didn't care about the scratches on her dress, she just wanted to make the fire burn more vigorously so that people farther away could see them!
Time passed little by little. After Xiao Jiuyue finished burning the firewood, she went to find a nearby stream and used it to cool Jun Lie down physically.
His body was too hot. If he didn't cool down and get rid of the fever, his brain would probably be burned out.
"Your Highness, Miss Xiao." When Lan Ying and Guo Sheng came, they saw Xiao Jiuyue wiping Jun Lie's body with a handkerchief. The scene looked a bit erotic with the master's clothes open.
"We didn't see anything!" Lan Ying and Guo Sheng turned around in unison. Lan Ying said, "Miss Xiao, the Imperial Guards will be here soon."
Even if the master and Miss Xiao want to become husband and wife, they cannot tarnish Miss Xiao's reputation, otherwise, the master will draw his sword and kill them, right?
"Do you have any medicine to reduce fever?" Xiao Jiuyue didn't have time to explain, and said, "Jun Lie was shot by an arrow. The wound is poisonous, and now he has a fever."
"Yes." Upon hearing this, Lan Ying immediately ran forward, took out the small porcelain bottle from his arms, handed it forward, and said, "Your Highness, has your Highness fainted from the fever?"
Lan Ying felt that his hands were out of control and he almost dropped the small porcelain bottle in his hand.
"Yes, he fainted from the fever." Xiao Jiuyue took the pill and fed it to Jun Lie, saying, "You guys hurry back and prepare. When the time comes, return to the camp as quickly as possible."
"Yes." Lan Ying responded. Guo Sheng beside him said, "Don't worry, Miss Xiao, we will arrange it right away. Your clothes..."
Guo Sheng noticed Xiao Jiuyue standing next to the fire, her clothes were wet, and looked at her worriedly: "It's freezing cold, Miss Xiao, please take care of yourself."
"It's okay, just the hem of my skirt is a little wet." Xiao Jiuyue said nonchalantly, "You guys should leave quickly, lest you get discovered."
After that, Guo Sheng and Lan Ying left. Before leaving, Guo Sheng looked back and saw that Xiao Jiuyue's shoes were already soaked in the cold winter.
"Lan Ying, I think your Highness's efforts are worth it." Guo Sheng felt embarrassed for his previous prejudice. Xiao Jiuyue was truly the most worthy of his master!
"Do you need to tell me?" Lan Ying glanced at him. He had already discovered this when he was in the Eighteen Villages. When the master fell ill, they did not dare to step forward, but Miss Xiao, a woman, bravely stepped forward.
