Chapter 211 One Year of Transformation
The servants all left, leaving only Yuwen You and Xue Jiaer.
Yuwen You looked at her, who was dirty, with messy hair and blood on her sleeves, and felt extremely distressed.
"If I had known this would happen, I would definitely not let you go!"
Xue Jiaer shook her head and told him that she was pretending to be like this in order to get close to Ding Yuan, and that the blood was left when Ding Yuan was killed.
She flinched slightly at the mention of murder.
"Your Highness, I killed someone... It was my first time killing someone... You must be disgusted with me. I'll hand over the things to you and then I'll leave..."
After saying that, she took out the mailbox from her bosom and handed it over with trembling hands.
"Fortunately...fortunately I got the things..." As she spoke, tears began to fall.
Yuwen You took the mailbox and then pulled her into his arms. She hurriedly supported herself with her hands, fearing that she would dirty Yuwen You.
Yuwen You pulled her hand down and held it in his, holding her tightly in his arms.
He thought of the concubines and ladies in the Prince's Mansion.
They would only compare whose clothes were better every day, and would never let his clothes get dusty because of him.
They would only compare whose hairpin was better every day, but would never kill someone because he used a hairpin.
They were also afraid that he would despise them, because if he abandoned them, they would lose their glory. And the person in front of him was also afraid that he would despise her, because she had killed someone for him.
Compared in this way, there is nothing more to say.
The two hugged each other until the lights began to flicker, then they let go.
"Your Highness, read the letter." Xue Jiaer reminded softly.
Yuwen You then remembered this matter. The two of them sat down. Just as he was about to open the seal of the mailbox, Xue Jiaer pressed his hand again.
"Your Highness, if you pull it, you won't be able to see it."
Yuwen You thought there was something fishy going on, so he handed it over to Xue Jiaer.
He thought something was wrong and was afraid that something inside would hurt her, so he said, "Speak a law and send someone downstairs."
"Your Highness, Han Lang taught the princess this method. I will open it, and there will be no harm, don't worry. Please step back and don't get your clothes dirty."
Seeing her confident look, he nodded.
She first put the mailbox to her ear and shook it gently, then plucked out a pearl flower, gently picked open the wax seal a little bit with a needle, and then poured out the contents.
It was some vermilion liquid.
She made the hole a little bigger, took out her handkerchief, and gently stuffed it into the hole with a beading needle.
She was very careful and gentle until the handkerchief had absorbed all the liquid inside.
Yuwen You understood that if he had pulled open the wax seal with force, the liquid would have soaked into the letter, and when the letter was taken out, not a single word would be visible.
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw Xue Jiaer had taken out the letter, unfolded it, held it with a clean handkerchief, and presented it to him.
"Jia'er, you're so smart! It's just as you expected! The youngest one asked father to seize the land in the north!"
Only then did Xue Jiaer smile.
"Your Highness, what should we do now?"
"In that case, I'll take the credit for him without any hesitation." Yuwen You said with a smile.
"Your Highness is wise," Xue Jiaer said with her head down. "Just now, I did something and was afraid I had made a mistake. Now that I think about it, it seems that Your Highness and I are in perfect sync."
"What is it?"
"Yan Qing wanted to help me dispose of Ding Yuan's body, but after thinking about it, I didn't let him do it." Xue Jiaer said timidly.
"Why is that?"
"Don't be anxious, Your Highness. Listen to me."
Since Ding Yuan died, he could not reach the next message point, so the person at the message point would send the letter directly to Han Lang. However, they were unaware of this message point.
If he died there and was left alone, Han Lang's men would naturally collect his body. Moreover, the people who collected the body would also send a message to Han Lang and the next message point, so as long as he guarded the body, they would know and be able to stop the message.
In this way, Han Lang would not know that the letter to Tianyao had been robbed until the body was sent back.
With this time difference, Yuwen You could return to the capital and propose a plan for expansion to the north, and even lead his troops there to make great contributions and consolidate his foundation.
Yuwen You once again looked at Xue Jiaer with admiration.
"I decided to let Yan Nan wait. Your Highness won't blame me, right? I see that Yan Nan is from a secret guard family, so I think he knows more than Yan Qing who has been with you since childhood." Xue Jiaer said again.
This year, Xue Jiaer, who never left the house, was no longer the Xue Jiaer she used to be.
She used all the silver awarded by the emperor to hire a master.
She learned martial arts, secret guarding, official and even royal rules, astronomy and geography, and all the secret arts she could learn. She was very hardworking, and she was also very smart.
It turned out that all this was for Mo Beiyuan. She wanted Mo Beiyuan to look up to her.
It was not until that day that she realized that no matter what she did, she could not even become his concubine.
But all this learning was not in vain, and I am using it very well now.
She wanted to ensure that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sat firmly on the throne. She wanted Tianyao Kingdom to one day become more powerful than Zhaojing. At that time, she would trample Mo Beiyuan and Feng Aoqing under her feet.
"Good arrangement, let's set off now! Don't waste Jiaer's plan." Yuwen You stood up.
Xue Jiaer also stood up, bowed lightly to him and said, "Then I wish Your Highness a safe journey."
"What do you mean? Aren't you going back to Beijing with me? I remember you told me that your family had suffered a disaster and you were the only one left in the family!" Yuwen You was stunned.
Xue Jiaer shook her head. "I'm from Zhaojing, and my Xue family is considered a prominent family in Lianzhou. Even though I'm the only one left in my family now, I can't escape the arrangements made by my uncles and elders."
After she said this, Yuwen You understood.
"Besides, even if I return to Lianzhou, Mo Beiyuan will not let me go. If I follow His Highness, I'm afraid it will implicate His Highness. I can't... do this." Xue Jiaer choked.
"You think so..."
"I will mourn at my parents' grave until he comes looking for me and kills me." Thinking of her hatred for Mo Beiyuan, she really cried out loud.
Yuwen You sat down at the table without saying a word and began to write a letter.
Xue Jiaer didn't know what he wrote, but after he finished writing, he stamped it with the Prince's Order of Tianyao Kingdom.
"Yanbang!"
Yanbang was guarding the door and pushed it open and came in.
"Send this letter to the head of the Xue family in Lianzhou. I want to marry Xue Jia'er to me. Because the systems of the two countries are different, and the Xue family is just merchants, everything in Zhaojing will be simple. But please prepare the gifts for me. We cannot lose face for the Tianyao royal family. If you have any objections, just kill them all."
Yuwen You handed the letter and token to Yanbang, who took the order and went down.
He looked back and saw Xue Jiaer starting to cry again.
"Jia'er, I'm not disliking your merchant family. I'm telling your uncles and aunts that I'm afraid they'll bother you in the future."
Xue Jiaer shook her head.
"Also, I can only give you the status of Madam at this moment. If you want to be a concubine, you still need the royal father's order. Don't worry, when we return, you will definitely have the position of concubine. I am sorry for inconveniencing you now."
He held Xue Jiaer's hand and said.
"It's already very good, Your Highness. Jia'er is already content."
Xue Jiaer knelt down.
Yuwen You helped her up and said with a smile, "Now, go change your clothes and wash your face, then follow me back to the capital!"
