Chapter 453 Little New Year
Xie Jingyu returned from the princess's visit. Just as he reached the door, Chen Ping came over and said, "Master, the border guards sent an urgent payment of 800 taels. It means Dongliang is attacking our Ning Dynasty..."
The room was not soundproof, and Chen Ping spoke loudly, so Shen Wan, who had walked to the bead curtain, heard it.
At this time in the previous life, the Ning Dynasty was at war with North Vietnam, and in this life, Cheng Dongliang attacked the Ning Dynasty.
It must be related to Xiahou Yi!
After Xie Jingyu entered the room, Chen Wan asked, "Dongliang asked our Ning Dynasty to send a princess as a bride, and they did. Why is Dongliang still at war with our Ning Dynasty?"
Xie Jingyu said, "My father received news from Dongliang that Princess Heshun was marrying Prince Li of Dongliang. On their wedding night, she stabbed Prince Li of Dongliang..."
Shen Wan, “……!!!”
Prince Li of Dongliang did not win the favor of the Emperor of Dongliang.
But no matter how unfavored he was, he was still the flesh and blood of the Emperor of Dongliang. The Prince of Gaoyang of Dongliang came to Ningchao to celebrate his birthday, but was assassinated and fell off a cliff to his death. He asked Ningchao to send a princess to appease the anger, but the princess sent ended up stabbing the son of the Emperor of Dongliang.
If the Ning Dynasty is not attacked, where is the authority of the Emperor of Dongliang?
Shen Wan asked, “Princess Heshun is Xiahou Yi’s person?”
Xie Jingyu said, "The details are still unclear, but it is definitely related to Xiahou Yi."
Shen Wan doesn't like fighting.
Because once a war breaks out, my father will go to the battlefield, and now my eldest brother is about to go too.
Shen Wan looked at Xie Jingyu, "There's a war at the border, are you going to the battlefield?"
She hadn't given birth to her child yet, and when she didn't want to have one, Xie Jingyu was not there.
Shen Wan's voice trembled slightly, and Xie Jingyu touched her face and said, "The emperor won't let me go to the battlefield until you give birth to the child."
It is even possible that the emperor will not let Xiao Huaijin leave Beijing until he is appointed as the crown prince.
Shen Wan didn't want Xie Jingyu to go to the battlefield, but she also knew that as a general and prince, Xie Jingyu was born to be on the battlefield, and it was impossible for him to stay in Kyoto and accompany her all the time.
Thinking back to when she was reborn, and even during the first few months of marrying him, she wanted to kill him from the bottom of her heart, and now she couldn't even bear to let him go to the battlefield.
Chen Wan suppressed the sadness that was welling up in her. Xie Jingyu was going to the battlefield and was invincible. If Xiahou Yi was not afraid of Xie Jingyu, he would not use any means to get rid of Xie Jingyu.
The maid brought the dinner into the room, and Shen Wan and Xie Jingyu sat down to eat.
The two of them were chatting over here, you pick up food for me, I pick up food for you, with endless conversation. Over there in Cheng Wang Mansion, Yu Niang's neck was strangled again.
But this time it was not the Duke of Song, but King Cheng.
Knowing that Princess Heshun had assassinated Prince Li of Dongliang, causing him to be seriously injured, the first person King Cheng suspected was Yu Niang.
Princess Heshun was chosen by him and Duke Song based on the portrait of Concubine Chen. She had no martial arts skills and could not kill King Li of Dongliang.
Xiahou Yi not only wanted to kill Xie Jingyu, he also wanted Ning Dynasty and Dongliang to go to war, so that they could consume each other and Beiyue could reap the benefits.
The person who would do such a thing must be Xiahou Yi!
Yu Niang goes in and out of Prince Cheng's Mansion. She must have placed someone next to Princess Heshun!
Neither Prince Cheng nor Duke Song would do such a thing. If Princess Heshun's marriage fails and people say she is fake, and they have to send another princess to marry, the one sent will only be Princess Shouzhen.
That is King Cheng’s biological sister from the same mother!
In order to prevent Princess Shouzhen from being sent to marry a foreign prince, they fell into the trap dug for them by King Jingbei, giving Xiao Huaijin a good opportunity to return to his roots!
In the end, Princess Shouzhen could not escape the fate of marrying off to another country, and King Cheng and Duke Song were so angry that they were vomiting blood.
Yu Niang was strangled by the neck and couldn't breathe, but she was not afraid that King Cheng would really strangle her to death. She said intermittently, "Master, the master is helping you, King Cheng..."
"help me?!"
King Cheng sneered, "Do you think I'm so easy to fool?"
Yu Niang said, "Dongliang is attacking Ning Dynasty, and Prince Jingbei and Duke Dingguo will go to the battlefield..."
As soon as these words came out, King Cheng immediately calmed down and let go of Yu Niang's neck.
Yu Niang touched her neck, which was often pinched, and said, "Not only will Prince Jingbei and Duke Dingguo leave the capital, but Prince Jingbei's son will also go to the border. Without them advising you from behind, how can Prince Ling be a match for you in becoming king?"
King Cheng said coldly, "Your master is very scheming! He provoked Dongliang and my Ning Dynasty to fight. Does he want to swallow Dongliang and my Ning Dynasty together?!"
Yu Niang said, "I don't know what the master is thinking, but doing this will not harm you, King Cheng. Even if the Ning Dynasty's national strength is depleted, it is better than failing to win the throne and becoming a prisoner."
"Don't worry, Prince Cheng. My master not only wants you to be the Emperor of Ning Dynasty, but also wants you to hold the throne firmly."
…
Dongliang attacked Ning Dynasty, and I don’t know what the current situation at the border is.
The prince, Shen Ji and the emperor discussed it.
It was decided to let Shen Ji and General Yun Hui go to the border first. If Shen Ji could stabilize the situation at the border, the prince would not have to go.
Shen Ji decided to set off tomorrow, but the day after tomorrow was the Little New Year, so one day wouldn't make much difference. The emperor asked Shen Ji to set off after the Little New Year.
Knowing that her father was going to the border, Shen Wan knew that neither Xie Jingyu nor Shen Ji would let her go to the city gate to see him off, so Shen Wan decided to return to Duke Dingguo's Mansion to spend the New Year's Eve with her father.
In her previous life, Shen Ji died on the battlefield, so Shen Wan was particularly afraid, but she couldn't stop it. All she could do was to have a reunion dinner with her father before he went to the border.
Xie Jingyu agreed, but in the end Shen Wan still couldn't go back.
Because Shen Ji came to the Jingbei Palace.
Shen Ji knew his daughter well and was afraid that she would have a rough time returning to Duke Dingguo's Mansion, so he and Yun came to Prince Jingbei's Mansion to see Shen Wan.
In just over a month, Shen Wan would give birth. At this critical juncture, Dongliang launched an invasion, and Shen Ji had no choice but to go to the battlefield.
The war can last as short as a few months or as long as three to five years. When we come back, our grandchildren can run around everywhere.
Shen Ji is not worried about Shen Wan. With Xie Jingyu and the emperor protecting Shen Wan, nothing will happen.
Shen Wan said with red eyes, “Father must protect himself on the battlefield.”
In her previous life, her father and elder brother died on the battlefield because of Qu Yan's harm. In this life, Qu Yan can't harm her elder brother, so she doesn't have to worry too much.
Shen Ji laughed, "Father will take care of himself."
Fortunately, the Duke Dingguo's Mansion has been divided now, so he doesn't have to worry too much about Yun and Shen Wan when he goes to the battlefield.
Shen Ji was very busy, so he stayed for a quarter of an hour and then left.
Xie Jingyu saw Shen Ji off. Today was Little New Year, and the mansion was particularly lively.
After waking up from a nap, Xie Jingyu was sitting beside the bed. Shen Wan opened her eyes and saw him. Xie Jingyu said, "I was just about to call you, and you woke up."
Shen Wan asked, "Why did you wake me up?"
Xie Jingyu said, "We have to offer sacrifices to our ancestors during the New Year, you should come too."
Shen Wan asked in surprise, "Can I go too?"
Generally, women are not allowed to enter the ancestral hall, especially when she is pregnant.
Xie Jingyu said, "Father doesn't care about these things. We've divided the family this year, and there are fewer people. I want you to come with us. I hope our ancestors will bless you and ensure that both mother and child are safe during the birth."
Then I must go.
Shen Wan only went there once, and the prince thought it would be better not to let Shen Wan go to the ancestral hall again in the future.
Because Shen Wan was very curious, he dug out the secret of the palace with just one sentence.
