The situation in the court is now turbulent and unpredictable.
After Jiang Jian left, Ji Wan knelt alone in front of the low table.
There was an opened letter on the table, and the dim yellow candlelight danced in the dark front hall.
"Your Highness, it's getting late. Please take care of yourself."
Yang Guan knelt beside Ji Wan and spoke carefully.
His Highness has been sitting in front of the low table ever since Jiang Jian left. It has been almost two hours now, and the sky outside is getting slightly brighter.
Ji Wan seemed to have just come back to his senses. He blinked his dry eyes, relaxed all the muscles in his body, and slowly moved his numb left leg.
Her right leg had long lost all feeling, and she didn't know if it was numb at this moment.
In addition to bringing the news of the Southern Xia Kingdom's siege, Jiang Jian also brought worse news: the emperor planned to use marriage to solve the problem of the Southern Xia Kingdom's invasion.
Emperor Ji Yuanheng is compared with other emperors.
Although he had many concubines, he had very few children, only five in total.
What’s even more interesting is that there are only two princesses among these five children.
Ji Wan has a second elder sister, who was engaged to the second son of the Duke of Zhenguo two years ago.
So now, the only one who can fulfill the marriage mission is herself, the lame and disabled princess.
The meaning of the letter was that this lame princess would most likely marry Zhao Kui, the eighth prince of Southern Xia, and might even become his concubine because of her legs.
Zhao Kui, the eighth prince of the Southern Xia Kingdom, was the general who led the troops to attack the Donglin Kingdom.
Of course, it would take more than a month, or even two months, for this letter to reach Qingshizhou from the royal capital. By now, perhaps the royal capital has already begun preparing her wedding dowry.
"If Your Highness does not wish to marry, I can go to the south and help Your Highness kill Zhao Kui to relieve your worries."
As Yang Guan spoke, his eyes drooped and a sinister and fierce look flashed across his eyes.
Ji Wan's eyes were empty. "If something happens that requires you to kill someone, I would just ask you to kill all my brothers and sisters. That would save me the trouble of fighting for that position."
Ji Wan's left leg relaxed for a long time, and the numbness disappeared. She supported herself on the floor and sat up again.
"But, Yang Guan, if anyone disobeys me, or obstructs me, I will let you kill them. There are so many people in the world, how can you kill them all by yourself?
I want to use my own abilities to ascend to that position and let the world recognize me!
I, Ji Wan, am an excellent emperor. I intend to use my own strategies, methods, and strength to remove all obstacles."
There has never been a precedent of a woman becoming emperor in this world. She wanted to create this precedent!
If she relied on Yang Guan for everything, who in the world would be able to obey her?
It would be better to just let Yang Guan become the emperor, then Ji Wan would have no place in it.
"Yes, Your Highness, I understand."
Yang Guan pushed the plate of snacks in his hand towards Ji Wan. His Highness had been tossing and turning for a long time without eating. It would be great if he could quickly help His Highness find a solution to the problem.
It was all because the Third Prince Ji Ze was so eager for quick success. With what he did, everyone in the world knew that he coveted the position of Crown Prince. This idiot even joined forces with the foreign enemy, the Southern Xia Kingdom, to do this.
This caused His Highness to suffer an unexpected disaster in vain.
"Yang Guan, do you have any magic that can quickly deliver the letter to the capital?"
Ji Wan's left leg felt like it was being bitten by a small insect, it was itchy and numb. She felt so uncomfortable that she stretched out her legs and leaned back.
Lying straight on the cold wooden floor.
If the message could be delivered quickly, she would receive information without any delay and would be the first to know what happened.
"Your Highness, there is indeed such a spell for transmitting messages."
As he spoke, Yang Guan stretched out his hand, and a pure white, misty, palm-sized bird condensed with spiritual power floated in the palm of his hand, blinking its little eyes.
The medium of telepathy is an object that carries the aura of another party.
Ji Wan glanced at the beautiful pure white bird in Yang Guan's hand, then lowered her head and took off the sachet from her waist.
"I have a sachet that Mother made herself. Can I use it to send a message to Mother?"
Yang Guan stretched out his hands to take the sachet, placed it under the beak of the messenger bird, and pushed it upwards.
A magical scene appeared, and the message bird's head was buried in the sachet.
And it instantly became the color of the sachet.
The sachet that Xiling Mingyue made for Ji Wan was dark green in color, with gold thread embroidered on the edge and two pearls at the bottom.
The messenger bird unexpectedly turned into the same shape as the sachet, with a dark green body, and the feathers on its wings on both sides were red gold, with two white spots on its tail.
Ji Wan reached out his hand to feel what the texture was like.
Unexpectedly, the messenger bird seemed to come alive. Following Ji Wan's fingers, it flapped its wings and landed in her palm.
Light and soft to the touch like clouds.
For a moment, Ji Wan seemed to feel that his mother was crying in the royal capital.
Ji Wan frowned and was about to feel it more carefully when he was stopped by Yang Guan.
"The sound bird consumed too much spiritual energy, Your Highness's spiritual energy is exhausted.
Your Highness wants to convey a message to the Imperial Concubine. The Imperial Concubine is connected to you by blood, and can sense that the Imperial Concubine's current condition is normal."
Feeling the current situation, is my mother crying? "Yang Guan, quickly grind the ink. I need to send a message to my mother."
She had to hurry. Her mother was not a crybaby, but if she cried now it must be because of something difficult.
In a hurry, Ji Wan finished writing the letter in less than a quarter of an hour, then sealed it, put it in an envelope, and placed it on the messenger bird.
The spiritual energy surged, and the messenger bird disappeared in front of Ji Wan in an instant.
