Chapter 161
Su Junqing spent seven days recuperating in the princess's mansion. Qiao Sheng and the others saw him return to the barracks in the princess's guards.
Purposeful observation revealed that many things were just as they appeared on the surface. The princess was obviously in love, and Su Junqing didn't look ruthless. How could he end up committing suicide?
In the peeping mode, time passed day by day until the beginning of spring. Except for the princess and Su Junqing's growing relationship, there was no progress on any other side.
The emperor did not send anyone to stop them, there was no news about the kidnapped second prince of the enemy country, and no one was seen contacting Su Junqing. For a moment, even Qiao Sheng and the others were not sure whether the male protagonist was Su Junqing or not, and whether they had misunderstood.
"This battle line is too long, the princess is only 21 years old now, and she will die in more than ten years. We won't live in this dynasty for more than ten years, right?" Xia Beibei took the dried rabbit meat that Qiao Sheng had saved for Yousu and the others to chew. The food in this dynasty was too bad, and it was just boiled every meal. She now eats pet snacks with a crunch. Fortunately, Yousu and Ah Dai didn't come, otherwise these snacks would not be enough.
"It shouldn't be that bad. The princess sent us back to this node, which should be the important node for her to have a son-in-law. Keep an eye on Su Junqing. It will probably be soon." Qiao Sheng thought that the princess cared most about her son-in-law, so they just needed to make a clear target. Sure enough,
there were movements on both sides in early March, indicating that Su Junqing had received a superstitious letter. Qiao Sheng and his friends didn't know the content, but seeing Su Junqing's sad face every day, they knew that things were not simple.
On the princess' side, the emperor had the intention of arranging a marriage for her. After all, she was already 21 years old. In this dynasty where it was common for women to become mothers in their teens, she was already quite old. However, because she was favored by the emperor, the choice of the son-in-law was much wider.
However, this leniency does not mean that the princess can choose at will, but she must choose from the candidates drawn by the emperor. As you can imagine, a lieutenant will definitely not catch the emperor's eye, and all the candidates are sons of dukes and marquises. In
this dynasty, the queen who married a princess could not participate in government affairs, so the people who were selected were only those with good character. Those who really had great ambitions should have joined the army or taken the imperial examinations.
This made the princess, who was used to seeing real men in the barracks, unwilling. After all, she was looking forward to a good one every day, and she would not be willing to get a defective one, so now the princess was also full of sorrow.
Even when the two met in the barracks, there was an unresolvable worry between their brows, and the emperor who was paying attention to this matter soon discovered the clues.
After all, he was the king of a country. He might not have noticed Su Junqing when he was not paying attention. But he discovered Su Junqing's existence. However, the identity of the person was so well-made that no problem was found yet. Otherwise, he would have caught the spy long ago.
However, the emperor kept urging the princess to get married until the princess could not bear it anymore and made things clear to Su Junqing. After all, they were just ambiguous before, but they had never broken the window paper. Now that it was broken, Su Junqing backed off a little because of his identity.
"I'm so anxious. Why hasn't the male lead said anything yet? Explain clearly. You are so sincere that you can't give up the secular world and elope. What is he dithering about? Why is there a cousin who came to seek refuge in the middle? She must have been sent by the enemy. This is a cliché drama at eight o'clock. I want to kill them all." Xia Beibei, as a bystander, felt particularly irritable.
A few days after she complained, Su Junqing was secretly captured by the emperor because the secret guards found suspicious points through the so-called cousin.
Qiao Sheng and others really couldn't find out what happened in the palace, but Su Junqing was sent back after all. The emperor even said that the princess could choose her own son-in-law, and the candidate was not limited to the previous range. He could accept even a soldier.
The princess was very happy when she heard this, but Su Junqing's condition became worse and worse, and he was infected with typhoid fever. A strong man fell ill all of a sudden.
At first, Qiao Sheng and others suspected that he was pretending to be sick, but later, when they helped carry him to the military doctor's tent and had close contact with him, they confirmed that he was really sick.
Several people could not sit still anymore, fearing that the emperor had drugged him and took the opportunity to have sex with him. After some discussion, they asked Li Mu, who was most familiar with him, to clarify the matter. If the situation continued to develop, this man would commit suicide.
Li Mu brought ginseng chicken soup to visit the patient. He said he bought the ginseng from the pharmacy, but it was actually from Qiao Sheng's space ring. Their monthly allowance was very precious, and they were planning to do some shopping here before leaving.
He stayed in the tent for the whole afternoon, and when he came out, it was dark. Qiao Sheng and the others were waiting for him in the small courtyard of the princess's mansion, waiting for the dinner brought back from the kitchen. When
he came back, the food had already gone cold, and none of them were in the mood to eat, so they quickly asked what was going on.
Li Mu said that this time everything was made clear. The emperor already knew Su Junqing's identity, but he gave him a chance. As long as he was willing to marry the princess, he would find him a new identity, and the requirements were not high. He would cut off his connection with his country.
"That makes sense. After all, you have to lose something if you want love." Qiao Sheng thought that the emperor really loved his daughter. Otherwise, if he found a spy like this, he should have killed him. How could he let him have the chance to marry the princess?
"This is the point. Su Junqing is unwilling. He is the third prince of the enemy country and the brother of the eldest prince who is already the heir. He was sent here not just for undercover, but to preserve strength. Although I don't believe this, Su Junqing is so convinced that he is unwilling to cut off contact with his brother." Li Mu shook his head.
As for coming back so late, it was because I kept persuading him, even saying that the princess would be depressed and die early, but it didn't make him change his mind.
This road is obviously not feasible, so Su Tianci suggested that the princess give up if it really doesn't work.
"Isn't that contrary to the princess's wish? What she wants is for Su Junqing to be alive and spend the rest of her life with him. If you ask the princess to give up, won't that make her fail to fulfill her wish?" Xia Beibei felt that his logic was wrong.
"If we continue to hold on like this, Su Junqing will still commit suicide. It's better to complete the first half and let him live. The premise for him to spend the rest of his life with her is that he has to be alive." Su Tianci felt that such a stalemate was useless.
After some discussion, Qiao Sheng and Xia Beibei went to find the princess, and the princess's persuasion was easily successful.
"Women are so easy to fool. Just a few words made her choose to let go. Princess Yong'an is not a boast. When she heard that Su Junqing would be in danger, she immediately decided to let him go." Xia Beibei was eating the mung bean cake prepared by the kitchen of the princess's mansion. Because she ate too fast, she choked and stretched her neck.
Fortunately, Qiao Sheng quickly poured tea to calm her down, otherwise it would be a tragedy caused by a piece of mung bean cake.
The princess's plan was very simple. She gave Qiao Sheng and his friends tokens and asked the five of them to escort Su Junqing out of the capital and back to his hometown.
However, before leaving, she wanted to see him one more time. In order to prevent herself from regretting it, she asked Qiao Sheng and others to follow her when they met. The two of them were reluctant to part. Before leaving, Su Junqing even told Yongan her real name. When getting on the carriage, she passed by the princess and heard her murmured Tianlang, and she knew that the situation was settled.
With the princess' token, the journey was smooth and unimpeded. Later, Qiao Sheng and his friends thought that it seemed that the emperor had put an end to his daughter's love life. Suppressing her would not necessarily have any good results.
"This emperor is not at all like the ghost princess said, who would block us and oppress her husband. The journey was smooth and unimpeded. I even suspected that the emperor did it on purpose. Could it be that we were sent back by the princess, and the emperor was also reborn?" As they approached the border, they even slowed down the horses. Xia Beibei asked leisurely while sitting on the horse.
Thinking about it this way, this possibility cannot be ruled out. Perhaps it was a father's compensation for his daughter who died young.
After Su Junqing was sent back to his own country, civil strife broke out there. His father died, and the eldest and second princes started a battle for the throne. With the participation of Su Junqing, the eldest prince quickly eliminated dissidents and succeeded in taking the throne. Because of Su Junqing's advice on both sides, the two countries reached a truce agreement.
The princess did not marry, but went to the other side of the border to guard it. Since then, she has become a famous female warrior in the country.
Qiao Sheng and his team sent Su Junqing across the border, and these subsequent subtitles appeared in front of them. In a flash, they returned to the boat coffin. There was no Princess Yongan in front of them, and only three layers of her coffin were opened in front of them. In front of them was a vermilion painted coffin.
Some of them leaned on the coffin, some lay on the ground, and Su and Ah Dai were anxiously circling around them.
Li Mu stood up and walked around the cabin, and found the reason. The oil lamp on the wall they lit had a special substance in it. Once it came into contact with the vermilion painted coffin, it would lead them into the country, so they saw the princess's soul and the eight Cai.
Qiao Sheng stood up and checked the progress of the dungeon, which showed 95%, which meant that they still had tasks to complete. But after walking around the cabin, except for the coffin that had not been opened, they really couldn't find a point to continue the task.
However, several people couldn't make up their minds to continue opening the coffin. After all, they had been in contact with the princess in the environment for several months. It was okay to open the coffin of someone they didn't know, but they really couldn't bring themselves to open the coffin of an acquaintance.
After some discussion, they all decided to give up this dungeon. It didn't matter if they didn't get any rewards. At least the princess' life had changed. She didn't have to be demoted from a goddess of war to a love-minded person. She could live a peaceful life until the end of her life
. "Princess, we will help you restore the coffin to its original state. You must remember to bless us. We gave up the mission for you. There are so many rewards. You just say no. You are a righteous new human being." Lin Haiyang was still mumbling while holding the coffin board.
After restoring the coffin to its original state, several people went back to the top deck along the stairs. When they came out, they saw the afterglow of the sunset. The scenery was so beautiful that it immediately attracted their attention.
After a few glances, they climbed up the boat along the ropes. Li Mu was the first, followed by Xia Beibei, Qiao Sheng and Lin Haiyang, and finally Su Tianci was the only one left on the boat.
Li Mu helped to grab the ropes and waited for him to come down. Unexpectedly, he took out a dagger and cut the connecting ropes directly amid the screams of everyone.
