Chapter 171 Chen Jingyan: Plowing the land is tiring!
Yun Qiao didn't have much emotion towards this so-called biological father who suddenly appeared. She was now worried about Chen Jingyan.
Muren is a power seeker.
It is difficult to guarantee that he will not do something extreme for the sake of power, and it is not impossible for him to use her to control Chen Jingyan.
Yunqiao couldn't sleep at all that night.
Xiaotao didn't dare to sleep either, so she stayed by Yunqiao's side until dawn. Then Yunqiao leaned against Xiaotao and fell into a deep sleep for an hour and a half.
It was the sound of water being delivered outside the door that woke Yun Qiao up.
"Princess, please rest first and consider that we are safe for now."
"Yeah." She responded like this, but she was unsure in her heart.
While Yun Qiao was still thinking of a solution, Chen Jingyan was already ready to come to the banquet tonight. He took the initiative to find Prince Mingyu. After learning that Yun Qiao was left in the eldest prince's mansion, Chen Jingyan's anger reached its peak.
"Don't be impatient now. I sent the two female guards who served with the princess over this morning. If there's any problem, they can still hold out for a while."
Chen Jingyan did not agree at all with the decision to let Yun Qiao come to Meng Kingdom.
"Who allowed you to bring Yun Qiao here? Her coming to Meng Country will only give Meng Country another bargaining chip to restrain us."
Chen Jingyan was naturally annoyed.
But things have come to this point, no matter how unhappy he is, he can only endure it and find a way to bring Yun Qiao out.
But she is his fiancée.
She is the biological mother of his three children.
Chen Jingyan was annoyed and felt a little dissatisfied with Emperor Showa's decision.
But he could only say it in front of Prince Mingyu. In front of Emperor Showa, he could be tempered but could not say excessive words. Regardless of the difference between the monarch and the minister, Emperor Showa was still the son of his aunt and his cousin.
"The Grand Prince has sent me an invitation, inviting me and Dabalagan to go to the Grand Prince's residence in the evening."
Prince Mingyu said, "The eldest prince has also sent us an invitation. I feel like something's not right. My Lord just said that the eldest prince doesn't support friendship between the Mongols and the Zhou Kingdoms. So why is he hosting a banquet to entertain the Zhou envoys, and you, a powerful general of the Zhou Kingdom?"
According to Chen Jingyan's understanding, the eldest prince of the Meng Kingdom, Muren, is a man who likes to collect women very much. Moreover, except for the eldest princess who is a woman from the Meng Kingdom chosen for him by the queen, the rest of the women kept in his backyard are from the Zhou Kingdom.
How could he not worry about Yun Qiao?
He wished he could rush straight to the eldest prince's mansion right now.
"No matter what Muren's purpose is, I must go tonight."
"Listen to my instructions and be prepared. If necessary, we will risk our lives to escort Princess Huayang back to her country."
Chen Jingyan has already spoken, and Prince Mingyu and others can only obey his orders.
***
At this moment, Yun Qiao was lying in the Grand Prince's mansion, enjoying the good food and drink and not wanting to move. She didn't know that Chen Jingyan was planning to rescue her.
The eldest princess came to accompany Yun Qiao again.
She was also very curious and asked Yunqiao what she had said to the eldest prince, why the eldest prince asked her to take extra care of Yunqiao.
After spending these two days together, the eldest princess also liked Yun Qiao's direct and frank personality without any bad intentions, and became much closer to her.
The eldest princess was not a bad person. She was the daughter of the chief of a small tribe in Mongolia. The queen arranged for her to marry the eldest prince. After that, her family tribe received many rewards and spacious fiefdoms.
After marrying the eldest prince, their relationship was not very good, but it was not bad either.
The eldest prince also attaches great importance to her family. In many battles, it was her family members who helped the eldest prince win. Now the eldest prince does not value the position of king, but the eldest princess knows his intention to assist the new king.
It seems that the eldest prince attaches great importance to Yun Qiao, but this importance seems to mean that the eldest prince does not want Yun Qiao to be his woman.
The eldest princess wanted to find out something about Yun Qiao's identity.
After listening to what the eldest princess said, I still don’t know her relationship with the eldest prince Muren.
Yun Qiao was too lazy to say anything.
I even feel there is no need to say it.
She didn't want to be Mu Ren's daughter in the first place, and wished she had nothing to do with Mu Ren.
"Grand Princess, I have no answer for your question. Instead of asking it from me, why not ask the Grand Prince? If he wants you to know, he will tell you everything."
"Also, I'm not interested in the eldest prince, nor in this prince's mansion. It's far less prosperous than my princess's. If there's an opportunity in the future, and you come to Zhou Country, I welcome you to visit my princess's mansion."
Yun Qiao sat there, speaking calmly, looking relaxed and comfortable, which was completely unlike the expression and posture of someone who was afraid of being in an unfamiliar environment.
When the Princess heard Yun Qiao say this, she didn't say anything else.
After a few words of greeting, he left.
After leaving Yunqiao's courtyard, the princess looked at her old mother beside her.
"Go to the post station and ask if anyone there is looking for the princess of Zhou Kingdom."
"Is there any useful information from the eldest prince?"
The old mother who was following the eldest princess whispered a few words.
"All I heard was what Warrior Xinri said. He wanted to send this princess from Zhou Kingdom to Prince Habulri's residence."
The eldest princess was immediately shocked.
"What does the eldest prince mean? He doesn't want the throne, but my son doesn't either. What good does he get from being so close to Habulji?"
The old mother whispered to the princess, "I've heard that the people of Zhou will resort to some tricks when trying to help others. Why don't we do the same..."
Drugging?
Hearing this, Alima did not refuse.
However, in Mongolia, people who are drugged are usually women with strong temperaments who are tamed.
Drugged this Zhou woman.
She can't do this.
***
That night, Chen Jingyan and the Zhou envoys came to the Grand Prince's mansion together.
The eldest prince had already prepared the banquet, and Yun Qiao, who was in the inner house, thought that the eldest prince would ask her to come out, but she waited and waited for an hour, but no one came from the eldest prince. Instead, some food was delivered from outside.
Yun Qiao was not in the mood to eat at this time.
Seeing that there was some wine, she drank a glass.
"Xiao Tao, this wine is quite strong. I feel a little drunk and agitated. Please open the window."
Xiao Tao looked at her master who was drunk, and then went forward to check on him.
"Princess, are you having a fever? I see you look unwell."
This disease came like a mountain, and no one knew it. She just felt dizzy, uncomfortable and had a fever, but nothing else.
Suddenly, Xiao Tao heard rustling footsteps outside and immediately became cautious.
Before she could react, a man in black came into the house.
Yun Qiao knew this person.
Xiaotao also knows him.
"Brother Wuying, is that you?"
Yun Qiao: "Chen Jingyan?"
The man whispered, "In reply to the princess, I, Wuying, am here to take the princess away."
"It's not him."
Yun Qiao felt inexplicably lost, and she didn't know why.
"Okay." She answered immediately and said to Xiao Tao, "Don't move a thing. Let's leave with Wuying."
When she was about to stand up, her legs went weak and she fell to the ground. Fortunately, Xiaotao and Wuying were quick to catch her.
***
By the time Wuying delivered the news to Chen Jingyan, Yunqiao and Xiaotao had already boarded a carriage leaving the capital and heading for the city in the Zhou Kingdom. Prince Mingyu and the Zhou Kingdom envoys, including Chen Jingyan, were still toasting with the eldest prince Muren.
The eldest prince stared at Chen Jingyan with deep eyes.
"In the future, we will sit together and drink, and you will be willing to do things for me."
Chen Jingyan's eyes were cold.
"The eldest prince is very confident. If the Mongols cannot establish a lasting friendship with the Zhou Kingdom, I'm afraid there will be no chance again."
"The eldest prince asked me to come here today, not just for drinks, right? I want to see the Princess of Zhou."
The eldest prince said, "My princess and I only have two sons, no daughters. Princess Huayang is so beautiful, and I, the princess, like her very much. I want to keep her in the prince's residence for a few days. This is also a gesture to show that my country of Meng wants to make peace with the country of Zhou. Does General Chen intend to refuse?"
Chen Jingyan didn't expect the eldest prince to say this.
Judging from what he said, he had no intention of harming Yun Qiao, but he still had to be on guard.
However, his men had already moved Yun Qiao away.
Chen Jingyan was just asking and didn't really force himself to see Yun Qiao.
After hearing what the eldest prince said, he didn't ask any more questions, but just mentioned that it was getting late and they should go back.
Dabalagan also came. He wanted to see what the eldest prince Muren wanted to do.
At the same time, he was also very interested in Chen Jingyan's fiancée Princess Huayang, because he got the news that the eldest prince Muren wanted to send Yunqiao to Habulji's mansion.
Haburji is the youngest brother of his father Aser. He is young, cruel, of orthodox blood, and holds great power.
Haburri has always been his rival.
After leaving the eldest prince's mansion, Dabalagan stopped Chen Jingyan and asked him some questions about Princess Huayang.
Chen Jingyan naturally didn't want to say more to Dabalagan.
Firstly, she didn't want to tell anyone more about Yun Qiao, and secondly, the message Wuying conveyed to him was revealed that something had happened to Yun Qiao.
He was anxious to go and take a look.
"You obviously know more about my fiancée's recent affairs than I do. I may not know as much as you do."
"Mengguo's wine is really intoxicating. I have to go back and rest."
After Chen Jingyan finished speaking, he got on the carriage. Wuying was already waiting in the carriage. The two exchanged identities. Wuying pretended to be Chen Jingyan and went into the villa to rest under the watchful eyes of Dabalagan's men.
The person who was secretly following him quickly sent a message to Dabalagan.
"I personally saw General Chen enter the courtyard."
"Got it, back off."
Dabalagan felt relieved after confirming that Chen Jingyan had not gone out privately.
At the same time, Chen Jingyan, who had transformed himself into a guard, rode his horse out of the city. Fortunately, the eldest prince's mansion was not far from the small town adjacent to the Zhou Kingdom.
But when Chen Jingyan arrived, it was already dawn.
Hearing the sound outside the door, Xiao Tao was very excited to see that it was Wuying. She hurried forward and said, "Brother Wuying, why did you come just now? Where is the Marquis? Why didn't he come? My princess has been having fits and has been enduring them for a long time. If we don't find a doctor, I'm afraid she won't be able to bear it."
After checking into the inn, Xiaotao found something wrong.
But she never expected that someone would give her daughter such a vile aphrodisiac.
No wonder after the food was delivered, the people who were guarding them outside withdrew. This was to give the bad guys a chance to come and ruin the princess's reputation.
"You step back first..."
Xiao Tao heard this voice, and she felt something was wrong. This was not the same voice as Wuying that she had heard last night.
Could it be that the fake Wuying is the Marquis?
If that was the case, Xiao Tao would not hesitate any longer and would step back. "I'll go get some hot water."
I've gained experience from being a maid.
Yun Qiao was sometimes lucid and sometimes confused. She relied entirely on Xiao Tao to wipe her body with basin after basin of cold water, otherwise she would have had a fever long ago.
After seeing the person coming in, Yun Qiao hugged the quilt.
Ask him, "Is it the Marquis or Wuying?"
"Did I drug you?" Chen Jingyan tore off the mask on his face with one hand, walked straight to Yun Qiao, and reached out to touch her face.
Yun Qiao wanted Chen Jingyan at this time.
He never let her go when he wanted to.
Now was the time for her to use him.
"Stop whining and take off your clothes and come in."
Yun Qiao's voice was hoarse and she wanted to pull Chen Jingyan's arm, but she didn't have the strength. She hadn't eaten for a day and a night, and she didn't want to eat.
Seeing her like this, Chen Jingyan didn't dare to do it anymore.
"Mother Qiao, let's go see a doctor first. If you go back like this, you might hurt yourself and won't be able to hold on."
"Chen Jingyan, you coward! Even at this point, you're still whining to me. If you keep doing this, you're not a man."
Chen Jingyan frowned, "Provocation?"
"If you feel bad later, don't blame me."
He pulled down the bed curtain with one hand and quickly took off his clothes. Yun Qiao didn't need him to do anything with her clothes, she ripped them off by herself.
This woman doesn't look good without all her clothes on.
Chen Jingyan's eyes darkened and he pulled the quilt to cover her body.
"You are very courageous."
"Chen Jingyan, I feel uncomfortable..."
She lowered her voice, her face full of charm. When she hadn't seen him, she could still restrain herself and endure, but now, seeing the man in front of her, who was her own, why not? Why should she endure the discomfort?
"I can't do anything about you."
Xiaotao went outside to get some water, but stood outside the door, not daring to go in or knock on the door.
Adhering to the duties of a maid, she stood quietly at the door.
Yun Qiao was completely relaxed. Although Chen Jingyan was as tired as an old dog, she had a rosy complexion and was full of energy. Her little face was radiant, as if she had practiced some yang-absorbing technique.
After feeling comfortable, she hugged the quilt and looked at Chen Jingyan who was standing beside her.
He said softly, "Thank you for your hard work, my lord."
[The Marquis's physical condition is far worse than before. Is it because of age? Is he feeling weak?]
Yun Qiao complained in her heart.
[However, no matter what, the Marquis has helped me, so I shouldn't despise him. I should reflect on myself and ask if I'm asking too much.]
Hearing Yun Qiao's inner complaints, Chen Jingyan frowned, pinched Yun Qiao's slender waist, and asked fiercely.
"Now that the land is plowed, are you starting to complain about the cows?"
