At this point...
The eldest princess's actions were no longer about personal gain or genuine concern for the Yan Kingdom's royal family; she herself didn't even understand what her motives were.
It was because Zhou Cheng refused to negotiate peace with Yan and refused to marry her.
So, the proud princess was unwilling to accept this, believing that she was not so bad as to be unable to impress Zhou Cheng at all, so she wanted to go to the border herself to prove herself?
Or perhaps it's because once Zhou Cheng leads his troops into the capital...
As a noble princess, she would immediately become a prisoner, and the status and glory bestowed upon her would vanish in an instant. Rather than being a down-and-out princess of a fallen kingdom, she would rather humble herself and fight for a chance to survive.
"What!!"
"The eldest princess is going to the border in person to arrange a marriage with Zhou Cheng. His Majesty will divide the Yan Kingdom in two, giving the north to Zhou Cheng, allowing Zhou Cheng to declare himself emperor, and from then on, the two countries will address each other as brothers?"
"Why should the eldest princess be the one to go in the marriage alliance? Even if she has to go, it should be me!!"
"Last time, when Grand Commandant Wang went to the border to negotiate peace, he even brought His Majesty's imperial edict with him. As a result, Zhou Cheng killed Grand Commandant Wang with a single blow and refused to marry the Princess. He doesn't like the Princess."
"What Zhou Cheng needs most right now is me! Me! Waaaaaah... Why should she go? I should go instead..."
Lin Jiaoyun, who was effectively imprisoned in the Qin Mansion, cried her heart out.
She learned from her friends about the major events that had recently occurred in Yan Kingdom.
Zhou Chengfa's troops have rebelled!
Zhou Cheng captured three cities in just a few days!
The imperial court was no match for the weapons of war, and sent an envoy to sue for peace, only to be killed!
Fearing the Zhou family, the imperial court sent the eldest princess to personally negotiate the marriage!
........
Each of these earth-shattering pieces of news stirred up Lin Jiaoyun's emotions. She was both delighted by Zhou Cheng's current power and afraid that once Zhou Cheng conquered the capital, he would despise her for her impure body.
Lin Jiaoyun was in pain yet full of hope, and every day felt like she was living a life worse than death.
"Qiuyin, has your sister sent any messages recently? How is she doing?"
"Didn't she go to Jiangling City a long time ago? Wasn't she supposed to go find Zhou Cheng to rescue me? Why haven't we heard from her yet? I'm so scared. What if... what if Zhou Cheng agrees to negotiate peace?"
"If Zhou Cheng accepts the Eldest Princess, he definitely won't attack the capital. Does that mean I'll never be able to leave? I don't want to stay in this godforsaken place, the Qin family. I don't want to face Young Master Qin anymore!"
"Qiuyin, is my dream shattered? Waaaaaah!"
As she spoke, Lin Jiaoyun covered her face and started crying again.
Sitting opposite Lin Jiaoyun, He Qiuyin felt a little disdain, but on the surface she pretended to be a caring friend and quickly got up to pat Lin Jiaoyun on the back.
He Qiuyin is the second daughter of the He family.
At the end of last month.
Miaoxue, the older sister, suddenly returned to the He family and mentioned to her parents that she wanted to go to Jiangling City. Her father initially disagreed, but Miaoxue said that she was going not only for Lin Jiaoyun, but also for herself.
Sending Zhou Cheng to rescue Lin Jiaoyun was a pretense; her real intention was to seduce Zhou Cheng herself.
If things go smoothly, it's likely that in just a few months, the He family will rise to prominence and become the fathers-in-law of a king!
That's why the He family allowed my sister to go to Jiangling City... But so much time has passed, and my sister hasn't replied, nor has there been any news or whispers. I wonder if she succeeded?
"Sister Yun," He Qiuyin said with a sorrowful expression, "I really didn't receive a letter from you."
"The journey from the capital to Jiangling is long."
"I hope nothing happens to my sister along the way. I don't even want to think about what might happen to her. I've heard there are a lot of robbers and bad guys on the road. My sister is so beautiful, I hope she won't get kidnapped?"
Lin Jiaoyun was stunned.
She looked up, shocked, and said, "This, this... could something really have happened? We haven't received a reply in so long, could she have been captured and taken to a mountain stronghold to be a bandit's wife?"
