But who doesn't want to express his love? He is just afraid that after he says it, Helan Minzhi will be reluctant to go to the northwest.
Fortunately, the only thing that comforted him was that Helan Minzhi did not just treat him as a brother.
He had inquired and found out that Helan Minzhi was not going to marry a king in his forties, but a young and promising regent who was only nineteen years old.
Regent Si Shuo, born into a powerful family, was handsome and took control of the Simu Kingdom at a young age.
The great achievement of conquering seven cities of Fuding State was the result of defeating him.
After Helan Minzhi married him, she finally had a good home.
Yu Seung-ho thought, I can't stop her from running towards someone better than me.
***
Helan Minzhi went to Fengluan Palace to find the Queen Mother five days ago.
It was the day after Yoo Seung-ho came to see her. In fact, she had already made up her mind that no matter how much she wanted to be with someone, it was impossible for them.
In the end, you can never be with the one you love the most. Isn’t this the norm in life?
"Have you thought it through?"
The Queen Mother was surprised. She thought Helan Minzhi would never come to her senses, but she didn't expect that he was not so selfish after all.
"For the sake of all the people of Fuding, and for the sake of no war in Fuding for the next few decades, I am willing to marry a foreign princess." When Helan Minzhi said this, there was no sense of honor in her expression that she could sacrifice herself for her people. She was just heartbroken, and it would be the same no matter where she went.
"The journey to Simu Kingdom is long, and the edge of the border is all desolate areas. There is also the Forest of Beasts near the Western Regions. Are you sure you have thought it through?" The Queen Mother said this not to stop her from going, but to make her think it over again. In case she regrets it later, the current Simu Kingdom is not a country that can be easily messed with.
"I've been thinking about it for half a month." Helan Minzhi smiled palely, "Isn't that enough?"
The Queen Mother stared at her, her inquiring eyes seeming to see through her. After a long while, she said, "Okay, once you've learned the rules there, you can set off for the Simu Kingdom in the northwest. And..."
"But I have a request." Helan Minzhi said this bravely, and cold sweat began to appear on his back.
"Tell me." The Queen Mother wanted to hear what she wanted. If it was simple and could be met, she could help her realize it.
"I will leave the palace on the day of the Flower Festival."
"no."
The Queen Mother vetoed the proposal. Since she had agreed to the marriage, she could not leave the palace at will. She had to stay in the palace and wait for her marriage. Otherwise, if something unexpected happened when she left, it would cause chaos.
"I'll be out of the palace for two hours, just two hours." Helan Minzhi pleaded, then turned to threaten: "If you don't agree, I will never marry you. I'd rather die here today than go to Simu Kingdom. You must know that the people of Simu Kingdom have seen my portrait. If it's not the real princess, I can't guarantee that there are still many cities in Fuding Kingdom for them to capture."
Okay, play dirty with her.
The Queen Mother's eyes narrowed slowly. She said why did he suddenly agree to the marriage and became so righteous and considerate of the overall situation. It turned out that he came to negotiate with her. If the barbarians of Simu Kingdom had not specifically wanted the princess, would she be so humble to negotiate with her?
"Okay, just two hours." The Queen Mother agreed.
"No one can follow me during this time." Helan Minzhi made another request, "If I find out, I will immediately jump into the river and bite my tongue to commit suicide!"
"But what if you run away now?" The Queen Mother was surrounded by a dangerous aura. She narrowed her eyes as if she wanted to see clearly what Helan Minzhi's purpose was.
"I've already agreed to the marriage, so where else would I run to?" Helan Minzhi said frankly, but his heart was pounding, and he was so nervous that his heart was about to fail and die. "If you are worried, you can strengthen the security of all the exits in the city. I won't be able to escape even if I have wings."
She had rehearsed all of this in her mind countless times, fearing that she would be frightened and her legs would go weak when she faced the Mother of the Nation in negotiations. However, judging from her performance today, it seemed that she did not disappoint herself.
"Okay," the Queen Mother agreed. "But you have to agree to one condition. After the Flower Festival, you can stay in the palace to learn the customs and rules of the Simu Kingdom, as well as the etiquette of marriage."
"I have prepared your dowry, and the people you are going to take with you are on standby. As long as you are ready, you can set off at any time."
They had already planned to marry her off to the Simu Kingdom. Whether she agreed or not, she would have to go in the end. Fortunately, she did not sit and wait for death, and was able to exchange her willingness for the last bit of happiness in her life.
"It won't take that long," Helan Minzhi said. "I can learn the rules on the way. I just want to set off quickly. The sooner I get to Simu Country, the less torture the people on the border will suffer."
"In that case, we'll set off for the northwest on the sixth day of next month." Shi Qingmiao helped the Queen Mother up. "If there's nothing else, go back first. I'm tired."
"Wait!" Helan Minzhi's emotions, which had been calm all the time, suddenly fluctuated, and she raised her voice.
"I would like to ask you one last question. Please answer it carefully."
The Queen Mother did not stop. She walked down the stairs and was stopped by Helan Minzhi. She said, "This question is very important to me. It should be my last wish before I go to Simu Kingdom."
The Queen Mother looked up at her lazily, then raised her hand slightly wearily: "Go ahead."
Helan Minzhi took a deep breath, her hands clutching the hem of her skirt trembling slightly. She asked, "Did you kill my mother ten years ago?"
When the Queen Mother heard this question, she suddenly laughed. It turned out that this was the reason why she had been so distant from her for so many years. She had thought that the child was just brought back from outside and she would never be able to get close to him no matter how hard she tried.
She rubbed her temples with a headache and then said, "Is this question so important to you?"
