Chapter 193 This is the rhythm of pushing her to death!

"I still love him, I just think about the bigger picture."

Xu Yanyi's answer was flawless. After all, the original owner had loved Mu Nanzhou for most of her life. Even though she suffered all kinds of grievances and lived a miserable life in Nanling Palace, she still wanted to be with Mu Nanzhou. Even when she was forced to hang herself in the end, she never said a bad word about Mu Nanzhou.

If she just says she doesn't love me anymore, it would be a bit suspicious.

The little emperor stared at Xu Yanyi for a moment, then held Xu Yanyi's hand: "Imperial sister, I'm sorry to trouble you, but don't worry, I will definitely choose a better marriage for you!"

After saying this, the little emperor ordered his personal eunuch, "Why don't you take my sister to rest quickly? Can't you see that she looks so bad?"

"yes!"

The eunuch came over quickly, "Princess...ah, no, it's the eldest princess, shall I take you to rest?"

"good."

Xu Yanyi bowed and followed the eunuch.

The little emperor stared at Xu Yanyi's back, his pupils shrinking slightly. Eunuch Zhang couldn't help but come over and ask: "Your Majesty, do you have any plans?"

After a while, the little emperor said leisurely: "Do you still remember the one on the grassland?"

Eunuch Zhang felt nervous.

My good friend, three years ago, the Khan of the grassland, Ashinaye, came to Northern Qin to ask for the eldest princess of Northern Qin. If the late emperor had not directly stated that the eldest princess had already been engaged, and had gone against all objections, Xu Yanyi would have married her long ago.

Could it be that the little emperor is...

Just as Eunuch Zhang was thinking this, he heard the little emperor slowly say: "My sister no longer has the title of Princess Nanling, and she can't live alone. I just promised her that I would find her a good marriage. The grasslands have an open-minded atmosphere, and it is often customary for several men to enjoy one woman. I believe Ashinaye will not care about my sister's marriage."

"But……"

Eunuch Zhang broke out in a cold sweat when he heard this. You have to know that in the barbarian land of Northern Qin, not to mention the princesses who were raised in a delicate way, even the daughters of ministers were unwilling to go there. Moreover, it was heard that more than a dozen concubines died every year, and their deaths were extremely tragic.

When Ashinaye married the eldest princess, Emperor Taizong selected a total of fifty beauties and sent them to him. However, those fifty beauties only lasted for three years, and only ten were left. Among these ten, eight were already disabled, and two were crazy. When the news reached Northern Qin, everyone said that Ashinaye had a penchant for abusing people.

The young emperor wants to marry Xu Yanyi to him. Will Xu Yanyi get any benefit from this?

Eunuch Zhang swallowed and dared not say anything.

*Xu Yanyi was soaking in the spacious bathtub, the little emperor's words slowly echoing in her mind.

"My dear sister, I am sorry to trouble you. Don't worry, I will definitely choose a better marriage for you!"

"My dear sister, I am sorry to trouble you. Don't worry, I will definitely choose a better marriage for you!"

Xu Yanyi frowned. The little emperor was black-hearted. He was only showing favor to her, his elder sister, just because she still had some things left by the previous emperor in her hands. He was hypocritical. She didn't believe that the little emperor would really care about her.

Suddenly, Xu Yanyi turned around and looked at the palace maid who was massaging her: "Is there any family in the Northern Qin royal family who has not yet married?"

The maid was startled: "This servant didn't pay much attention."

Another thinner maid was bolder: "Many people are still single, such as the mansion of Zhou Hanlin and the mansion of Zeng Shangshu..."

"No, I mean those who have a bad reputation and are difficult to marry?"

Xu Yanyi meant something.

The two maids looked at each other, obviously confused.

The thinner palace maid suddenly remembered something and said abruptly: "If you are talking about those with bad reputations and difficulty in finding a wife, we have some in Northern Qin, but none of them can compare to the one from the grassland..."

Another maid was shocked by this and immediately shouted, "Stop talking nonsense. Aren't you afraid of being slapped in the face?"

Um?

grassland?

Xu Yanyi opened her mouth: "Who slapped me? I won't do that. Speak!"

The thinner maid swallowed her saliva and said carefully: "I didn't mean to say bad things about Xiedan Khan, but it is true. A few days ago, he sent someone to deliver a letter saying that he wanted to form an alliance with us and asked for the eldest princess' hand in marriage three years ago.

Although it didn’t work out, he still brought over fifty of our beauties with him. It’s said that some of those fifty beauties were dead, some were disabled, and some were crazy… No matter how bad our Bei Qin’s reputation is, we are not as…perverted as those people in the grassland…”

Xu Yanyi's heart was filled with alarm. She remembered that Ashinaye had come to ask for marriage three years ago, but she didn't expect that Ashinaye would come again to ask for marriage?

Combined with what the little emperor had just said, it was not difficult for Xu Yanyi to guess that the little emperor must be thinking of marrying her to the Khan.

If she married to the grassland, she would have to hand over the things given to her by the late emperor. Even if she refused, the young emperor would use this matter to force her to hand them over.

Good guys!

He really is a black-hearted ghost!

This is the rhythm of pushing her own sister to death!

Damn it, are they really siblings? They are so cruel!

Xu Yanyi couldn't help but wonder whether the rebels' entry into the city that year had something to do with the little emperor. After all, he was the biggest beneficiary. Otherwise, Emperor Taizong was in his prime and in good health. By the time he really died, the little emperor would probably have become an old man!

This kind of thing has happened in history.

Xu Yanyi was silent for a moment, then asked, "Ashi Naye sent someone to send a letter to ask for marriage. Did the emperor say who he wanted to marry?"

The two maids looked at each other again, and the fat maid shook her head: "This matter is of great importance. The emperor and the queen mother haven't discussed it yet. They only replied temporarily that there is no princess of the right age in the court, but who knows what will happen in the future? I think we have to marry a princess sooner or later, otherwise the Khan will be thinking about it all the time and come again."

Xu Yanyi nodded and instructed: "Don't spread what we said today. Just pretend we never said it. Otherwise, if someone with ulterior motives spreads it, I'm afraid you won't be able to save your lives."

"yes!"

"yes!"

*Xu Yanyi leaned on the bed and stared at the full moon outside the window. She was waiting for time. When the night got darker, she would sneak into Yuqing Palace to look for the painting. Now, in her boredom, she was still thinking about Ashinaye.

If the young emperor and the empress dowager marry her off, wouldn't it be safer for her to bear the title of Princess Nanling?

but……

Just as Xu Yanyi was thinking this, she heard the voice of a guard outside: "Prince Nanling, you... wait a minute, I'll go in and tell the princess... oh, no, it's the princess who has gone to bed..."
