Princess Yutan's statement was beyond the barbarians' expectations.
After a while of reaction, several barbarians gathered together and whispered.
The situation is neither going up nor down. If there is no way out, the substitute will have to be burned to death.
Otherwise, if you go back on your word, how can you intimidate the Qi army in the future?
"I really didn't realize Jiang Huaiqing was such a playboy. Not only does he have a beautiful woman named Honghong by his side, but he also has children."
The barbarians had already made thorough preparations. Even if Princess Yutan discovered that the person was a fake, they had follow-up measures.
"Did Princess Yutan notice it?"
One person asked, and the others shook their heads.
After a long pause, someone replied, "I don't think so. There's a saying in Da Qi: 'The deeper the love, the more severe the criticism.' Perhaps Princess Yutan is too proud to accept the news that her fiancé has a bastard son?"
Adding fuel to the fire, so irrational, more like angry words.
The barbarian was at a loss for a moment. The original design of the scene between Princess Yu Tan and Jiang Huaiqing, who were willing to die for each other and were full of love and loyalty, seemed to have a flaw somewhere and something was not right.
Jiang Huaiqing was a playboy. When Princess Yutan learned the truth, she instantly came to her senses and distanced herself from him.
"If we really burn the imposter to death, Jiang Yuzhu, who doesn't know the truth, will blame Princess Yutan for being ruthless and ungrateful, and the two will become enemies."
"As a daughter of the Jiang family, Jiang Yuzhu is the most favored. If she suffers any injustice, Jiang Fulu will definitely hold a grudge against her given his vengeful nature. If we plan properly, getting Jiang Fulu into our camp will not be a problem."
At present, the counterfeit is more valuable dead than alive.
On the bonfire, the prisoner hung his head, being roasted by the smoke, and beads of sweat were already appearing on his forehead.
The barbarian's attitude gave him a bad feeling.
When he traded with the barbarians, he realized that he was courting disaster. However, he did not expect these people to be so cruel and they really wanted to burn him alive!
Who is Honghong?
The prisoner calmed himself down, realizing this wasn't the time to hesitate. He roared, "Yutan, please send someone over with a barrel of oil. I, Jiang Huaiqing, only want death. To die in your hands is preferable to dying at the hands of a barbarian!"
After he finished speaking, he straightened up, looking inexplicably tragic and heroic.
At this critical juncture, we have no choice but to resort to the strategy of self-torture.
Princess Yutan remained unmoved. She snorted coldly and said, "You want me to be the villain in front of all the soldiers?"
After confirming that the prisoner was not Jiang Huaiqing, Princess Yutan regained her senses and became extremely clear-minded.
She looked at Jiang Yuzhu beside her and curled her lips slightly.
Jiang Yuzhu received the signal and stepped forward, saying, "The princess doesn't want my second brother, but I do! Hurry and let him go. Name your price!"
He fell out with Princess Yutan, which was exactly what the barbarian planned.
Jiang Yuzhu showed a strong desire to save people and ignored the consequences.
Princess Yutan sensed Jiang Yuzhu's thoughts and was afraid she would mess up. So she stared at the prisoner on the torch and said coldly, "Jiang Huaiqing, from now on, you and I have nothing to do with each other. Whether you live or die has nothing to do with me!"
After she finished speaking, Princess Yutan turned around and strode away without any intention of dragging her feet.
On the opposite side, a few barbarians exchanged glances with each other.
Although Jiang Yuzhu was willing to pay to redeem the person, they also wanted to earn the money, but this was a border town in the north, and the camp in the north of the city was full of Princess Yutan's subordinates, so Jiang Yuzhu could not cause any trouble.
If you want to provoke a complete break, the prisoner must die, and he must die a miserable death in public.
"Xiao Yutan won't cry until she sees the coffin, so don't blame us for being rude!"
The barbarian poured oil on the bonfire. The prisoner was horrified and was about to reveal the truth, but the barbarian who had been paying attention to him saw through him.
At this moment, the fire suddenly rose to more than a person's height, and the prisoner's figure became blurred in the firelight.
“Ah, ah!”
The prisoner's body was set on fire, and flames broke out all over his body, his skin had been burned black and red.
The shrill and miserable screams pierced people's eardrums, and even the soldiers couldn't bear to watch.
Jiang Yuzhu had already made up her mind and put the prisoner on Jiang Huaiqing. She rushed over and screamed, "No, Second Brother, Second Brother!"
Although they had not rehearsed the scenes in advance, Xie Zhao knew Jiang Yuzhu's style very well.
Xie Zhao chased to the front to stop her. Jiang Yuzhu beat her with her fists, almost like a madman. After only a few hits, she fell down limply.
Just before falling to the ground, he fell accurately into Xie Zhao's arms.
Having lost an actor and successfully sowed discord between the Jiang family and the new emperor, Manzi was very satisfied.
Next, as Manzi wished, Jiang Yuzhu wrote a "family letter" back to Beijing to complain, and the news of her serious illness spread.
A reward of three thousand taels of silver was posted in the border town for anyone who could cure Jiang Yuzhu’s “serious illness”.
After lying in bed for two days, eating and sleeping, I gained weight around my waist.
During this period, Jiang Yuzhu received treatment from a doctor. Her complexion was fair and rosy, so how could she look like a patient?
For this reason, she had to put on makeup to deal with the spies sent by the barbarians to infiltrate the doctor's team.
In the blink of an eye, it was the eleventh month of the lunar calendar, and the climate in the border town became even colder.
Last night, the flower pot was placed on the windowsill. Even though there was heat in the room, the branches were hit by frost, making the branches and leaves even greener.
Hongli carefully examined the flower branches, then smacked his lips and said, "We're all in the room, and the temperature difference is too big."
There were gaps near the windows, which allowed air to leak in. After just one night, a thick layer of loose dust formed on the countertop.
It is said that the north has strong winds and sandstorms, but it is difficult to experience it firsthand unless you come here.
"Madam, another doctor is here to answer the call."
Ningxiang opened the curtain and walked in, rubbing her hands.
It was still early and snowflakes were falling again just after breakfast.
When Jiang Yuzhu first arrived in the north, she was curious about the snow scene. But after a few days, the branches bent by the snow no longer attracted her interest.
It was too cold outside, and she just wanted to stay in the room to keep warm.
Seeing Ningxiang's wet shoes, Jiang Yuzhu instructed, "There are small double-layer sheepskin boots for sale in the Northland market. Each of you can buy a few pairs. I will pay for them."
The New Year is coming to an end, so I need to make a few more clothes.
After the method of making goose down jackets spread, as she expected, they became very popular among the people.
The vendors smelled a business opportunity and set up a temporary small workshop to rush the work.
It’s a pity that in order to save trouble, the goose down is not washed and dried, and pieces of feathers are mixed in to pass off as good quality.
The goose down jackets produced have a greatly reduced warmth retention effect and also have a strange smell.
"Madam, I haven't had time to change yet. Do you want to put on makeup?"
The doctor was already waiting at the gatehouse. I heard that he had traveled from the south of the Yangtze River to the north.
Jiang Yuzhu sat in front of the bronze mirror, applying powder skillfully.
His face was pale, his lips were very light, and he sounded weak and frail when he spoke.
She lay on the bed and ordered, "Hongjin, go and take down all the lists."
Jiang Yuzhu had been pretending to be sick for several days and had not revealed any flaws.
The people who came to see her were helpless in treating her "illness".
The people who came to inquire about the situation had already received the news. So there was no need to keep pretending. It was tiring to lie down every day.
