Chapter 948 Just Causing Him a Little Trouble
“Because my husband Xiao Zhan is suffering in Xixia, I must rescue him as soon as possible.
If Yelu Cheng is willing to release the people after we put pressure on him, we won't have to resort to force; if he still won't let go, I will swear to destroy every city in Xixia." Jiang Xue said firmly.
Princess Changle's aura is beyond the reach of many men.
"What does the emperor mean?" Jiang Xue asked.
Emperor Tianshui laughed: "Since the Qian Kingdom is so sincere, how can I refuse?"
In the current situation, Gan State and Xixia are fighting endlessly, and Tianshui can gain huge benefits from it. How can such a good thing be missed?
"Since the emperor has agreed, I will go back and arrange it." Jiang Xue responded.
"Go ahead."
Jiang Xue had just left Tianshui when she heard the sound of hurried horse hooves from behind.
Glancing back, he saw that it was Huangfu Shang following closely behind him.
Jiang Xiaoan complained in a low voice: "Why is this person like a shadow that can't be shaken off?" Huangfu Shang's behavior was indeed annoying.
Huangfu Shang quickly caught up: "It really breaks my heart that Your Highness the Princess is leaving Tianshui so soon."
"I'm busy with work and can't stay long. We'll see you later." Jiang Xue said.
"Hold on."
Huangfu Shang said: "No matter how busy you are, it doesn't matter if you delay for a moment. Please allow me to see the princess off."
As he said that, he poured a glass of wine and handed it to Jiang Xue: "Your Highness, I look forward to seeing you next time."
Jiang Xue took the wine glass and drank it in one gulp.
"The princess is indeed generous."
Jiang Xiaoan suddenly grabbed Huangfu Shang's arm and said, "Since this is a farewell, I also want to have a drink with the Third Prince."
Huangfu Shang quickly pulled his hand back and sneered, "Who do you think you are? You are not qualified."
He knew that Jiang Xiaoan was Xiao Zhan's cousin, so naturally he would not treat him well.
"Since the Third Prince thinks I am not worthy, I have to give up this idea. See you later." Jiang Xiaoan said.
Jiang Xiaoan flicked the whip and galloped away.
Jiang Xue then explained: "Young Master Jiang has always been casual, please don't mind it, Your Highness the Third Prince."
The third prince Huangfu Shang smiled and responded, "Since the princess has pleaded for him, I will not argue with him. I hope the princess can remember today's scene every day in the future."
Jiang Xue chuckled and rode away. Looking at her receding figure, Huangfu Shang's eyes became deep.
Even though Xiao Zhan has gotten to her first, he firmly believes that one day she will be his.
After catching up with Jiang Xiaoan, Jiang Xue asked, "What did you do to Huangfu Shang?"
She knew his character very well and would never take the initiative to provoke trouble unless it was intentional.
"It's no big deal, it just caused him a little trouble." Jiang Xiaoan answered lightly.
Jiang Xue was skeptical: "Is it really just a little trouble?"
"Don't worry, it won't be fatal. It will just prevent him from having children in the future. This is already showing mercy to such a person. It can also be regarded as helping my third cousin to vent his anger."
After hearing this, Jiang Xue couldn't help but laugh.
If Yun Che were here, he would probably do the same thing to Huangfu Shang. The personalities of these cousins are indeed exactly the same.
Lan Feng was not surprised when he received Xixia's reply.
As expected, Yelu Cheng refused the treasure and directly made territorial demands.
Lan Feng had foreseen this outcome and only hoped that Jiang Xue's negotiations in Tianshui would go smoothly so that they could fight against Western Xia and weaken its power before negotiating peace.
Since that day, Yelu Minzhen returned to the princess's mansion.
Every place here reminded her of Feng Tianyu, and tears flowed down involuntarily. If Ah Cheng was still here, he would hug her tightly and wipe away her tears gently.
But Ah Cheng had left her forever. The housekeeper wanted to comfort her, but it made Yelu Minzhen cry even more sadly.
The light of her life was gone, how could she easily stop grieving?
She finally raised her head and looked at the housekeeper: "Is Tan Shengtai still at home?"
"In reply to the princess, he lives very well in the mansion. He is respected and enjoys delicious food every day. It seems that he has gotten used to the life here." The butler replied respectfully.
"That's good. Tell him to come to my study later."
"Yes, sir."
Yelu Minzhen turned and walked into the study, where there were still traces of Feng Tianyu's ink on the table.
She sat down, picked up the brush, and imitated his handwriting stroke by stroke, as if this could bring her closer to him.
Soon, Dan Shengtai was brought in. After paying respects, she said directly: "You eat well and live well here. It's time for you to do something to repay me."
"Princess, if you need anything, just tell me."
"I want you to use all your skills to build me a human being."
"Who?" he asked.
She casually threw a small box to him and said, "The portrait is inside. Be careful. If anything goes wrong, not only you but also your family will be implicated."
"I'll remember this."
"You may withdraw now."
When the door closed again, she was alone, leaning back in the chair tiredly, with sadness in her eyes.
This may be the only thing she can do for Feng Tianyu now.
At the same time, Jiang Xue and Jiang Xiaoan have arrived at the border.
Jiang Xiaowei rushed over upon hearing the news and personally cooked a sumptuous meal for them.
Seeing the two of them eating with gusto, a pleased smile appeared on her face.
What made her even happier was that Jiang Xue looked much stronger than the last time they met, which gradually put her mind at ease.
Jiang Xiaoan raised his head and said to Jiang Xiaowei, "You have been staring at me and the princess, but you haven't moved your chopsticks. Why is that?"
Jiang Xiao smiled slightly and replied, "I just saw that Her Royal Highness the Princess looked much better than the last time we met, and I felt very relieved. She looked too thin before, which made me very worried."
"That's not surprising."
Jiang Xiaoan said proudly: "With a skilled doctor like me taking care of her, it will be hard for the princess to be unhealthy."
Jiang Xue chuckled and agreed: "Indeed."
Jiang Xiaoan felt a little embarrassed when he saw that she agreed with what he said.
Jiang Xue continued, "Xiao Wei, after dinner, I will go back to meet Lan Feng. Do you have anything you want me to say or give to him?"
"I prepared some of his favorite pork buns in the kitchen. Your Highness, please bring them to him."
Jiang Xiaoan shook his head after hearing this: "Lan Feng is stationed outside and has sufficient supplies, but you insisted on asking him to take these buns with him. This..."
But Jiang Xue has a different view: "Sometimes happiness is so simple. The affection hidden in a meal is priceless. I think Lan Feng will be very happy after receiving it."
After hearing this, Jiang Xiaoan was speechless for a moment and could only continue to enjoy the food on the table.
Jiang Xue asked again: "Xiao Wei, don't you have anything else to say to Lan Feng?"
This couple always hides their feelings deeply and is not good at expressing them in words.
Jiang Xiaowei lowered his head and thought for a moment before answering: "Please tell Lan Feng that I will be here waiting for him to return safely."
