Chapter 172 Chen Jingyan helps Dabalagan become king, and Muren is killed
Yun Qiao was lying down, but when she heard Chen Jingyan's self-deprecating words, she immediately laughed out loud.
I have to say, this antidote is really useful.
"It's my fault. I shouldn't have said that to you."
"The Marquis is very good and very powerful."
She complimented him reluctantly, but he kept asking, how was it so great?
How can Yunqiao count them all?
However, Chen Jingyan was just teasing her. He asked Xiaotao to bring some hot water. He quickly wiped it and took the initiative to clean up Yunqiao.
After both of them got up, they ordered a table full of food to be sent into the house, and Xiaotao went to make the bed.
Yun Qiao's clothes could not be kept, so she wore her underwear to eat with Chen Jingyan. Xiao Tao took the money and went out to buy some women's clothes.
"Don't go back during this period. I'll have someone send you back to the princess's mansion."
Seeing Yunqiao eating anxiously, it seemed that she was very hungry.
Chen Jingyan just stared at her while she ate and talked.
After swallowing the food in her mouth, Yun Qiao told Chen Jingyan in a calm voice about her relationship with the eldest prince of the Mongolian Kingdom, Muren. This time, Chen Jingyan was so shocked that he even forgot to pick up some food for Yun Qiao.
"Give me one of the buns in front of you. This one with mutton filling is quite delicious."
"Are you telling the truth?" Chen Jingyan asked, "How did he become your father?"
Yun Qiao: "I don't know if you ask me about this. If you want to know, you have to ask the person involved."
If you think about it carefully, she has a pretty bad life.
Her own mother is useless, let alone protecting her. She hates her to death when she sees her and wants to cut her into pieces. It is because of her existence that she feels ashamed. Her existence prevents her other daughter from becoming the noble princess.
Now, this so-called biological father probably doesn't have any affection for her at all.
"I suspect that the poison in the Grand Prince's mansion was either poisoned by Grand Prince Muren and sent to Habulri first, or that the Grand Princess drugged me and wanted to find someone to destroy my innocence."
Mu Ren loves power so much, it is very likely that he did these things.
As for the Crown Princess, Yun Qiao thought she was kind, but it was possible that she had misjudged her.
Some people are good at disguising themselves, like Chen Yuan, the child given to her by Chen Jingyan.
She is the best example.
Who would have thought that such a young child could have such deep thoughts.
But Chen Yuan happened to have it.
She was even tricked into doing this, but luckily she discovered it in time. Yun Qiao was originally worried that Chen Yuan felt aggrieved in the Marquis' Mansion and wanted to take her to live in the Princess' Mansion.
If Chen Yuan saw how caring she was for the triplets, she would get jealous and murder the children.
Even if Chen Yuan was dealt with later, the consequences would not be something Yun Qiao could afford.
She didn't dare to gamble.
So now, she didn't really believe what the eldest princess said. She just thought she was a good person, but that might not be the case.
She said this to remind Chen Jingyan.
Chen Jingyan replied, "I'll check it out. But now, do you want to go back or stay here? I respect your opinion."
He really didn't expect that the Mongolian prince Muren would be Yun Qiao's biological father.
"I'll stay here for now."
She further explained, "Muren wanted to use me to restrain you. I think if he knew you took me away, he would look for you."
Chen Jingyan whispered, "When have I ever been afraid of him looking for me?"
"I'm concerned about your safety."
He didn't want his child to lose his biological mother.
Yun Qiao smiled slightly. As expected, it felt good after talking it out.
"I'm worried about your safety, too."
"Then I'll stay here for now. Don't worry, I'm naturally on your side. No matter how close we are, we're only related by blood. We don't have any emotional connection. If the time really comes for you to have a showdown with him, I will definitely stand by you."
Chen Jingyan looked at Yun Qiao in disbelief.
After a long while, he said, "With your words, I am content."
***
The Grand Prince's residence.
When the eldest princess sent someone to bring Yunqiao back, she found that Yunqiao was missing. When the eldest prince's wife was looking for Yunqiao, she happened to run into the eldest prince's people.
The eldest prince learned that Yunqiao was missing, and also ran into the eldest prince's wife's people who were looking for Yunqiao.
He immediately went to find the eldest prince's wife in a rage.
"Alimama, how did I tell you to take good care of Yunqiao? That's how you took care of her. Where did she go?"
When the eldest prince's wife heard this, she understood that the eldest prince didn't know about Yun Qiao's Chinese medicine.
"I've been sending people to watch her. As for where she went, I have no idea. She's the princess of Zhou. She can't be locked up in the Grand Prince's mansion forever. What's going on?"
The eldest prince Muren stared at Alima.
His eyes were gloomy. "She is my daughter. I want her to stay in Mengguo. Remember what I said today. She is different from the woman in my backyard."
"What?" Alima was stunned.
"When did your daughter show up? Why are you telling me now?"
It almost became an incestuous mistake.
Mongolians are known for their tough character, and this is forbidden even between brothers and sisters.
She almost ruined her own son.
The eldest princess was now extremely grateful that Yun Qiao left after taking the Chinese medicine, and fortunately she was not taken to her son's room by her people.
After regaining her composure, Alima looked at the eldest prince and softened her voice.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier? If you had, I would have cared for her more and she wouldn't have run away on her own."
"I think it should still be in the capital. Please send someone to look for it quickly. I'm sure they'll find it."
The eldest prince looked at Alima and thought that she didn't have the courage to let Yun Qiao go. It must be Yun Qiao who found the opportunity to escape on her own.
The eldest prince immediately arranged for someone to look for him.
As luck would have it, a coup d'état took place in the Mongolian royal family that very night.
The eldest prince put Yun Qiao out of his mind and entered the palace with his two sons and the army under his name.
Both Dabalagan and Habulji went.
There was bound to be a civil strife in the Mongolian palace, and Yun Qiao, who lived in a courtyard in the capital city with Chen Jingyan, became nervous when she heard the news.
"They're all fighting, and you're still here drinking tea."
"That's their internal strife. It's not appropriate for me, a Zhou countryman, to be here at this time. Why, are you worried?"
Chen Jingyan thought that Yun Qiao would be worried about Mu Ren.
After all, he is her biological father.
"Why should I worry? I hope they start a civil war so we can take the opportunity to leave."
"Have your people found their exact location?" Yun Qiao asked, then suddenly thought of something. She looked at Chen Jingyan and asked, "Did you deliberately wait until now to take advantage of the chaos and leave with your men?"
"Not really, I just didn't expect that Aser would die so quickly."
He was still thinking about when Aser would die, and just wanted him to pass away early, but he didn't expect that he would pass away tonight.
Chen Jingyan said to Yun Qiao, "I will definitely not be idle tonight. My people will send you to Prince Mingyu, and you must leave tonight. Remember my words, you must leave this time."
"Your identity can only be the princess of Zhou Kingdom."
The identity of the eldest prince of the Meng Kingdom is not legitimate, and he definitely cannot become the king of the Meng Kingdom. To Yun Qiao, there is not much benefit in being his daughter.
Chen Jingyan doesn't want Yun Qiao to recognize him as his father.
It just so happened that Yun Qiao didn’t want to get a father for nothing.
Especially this dad is a real worry, not a good person.
After listening to Chen Jingyan's words, Yun Qiao followed his men to find Prince Mingyu. Not long after Yun Qiao left, Dabalagan's men came to find Chen Jingyan.
"My master has promised you, General Chen, that you will lead your troops to protect my master, Dabalagan. Once my master ascends the throne, all the promises I made to you, General Chen, will be fulfilled."
Chen Jingyan said, "Release my people first. Otherwise, how can I lead people to support your master?"
Dabalagan also confessed this matter.
If Chen Jingyan must see his people, let them go.
It is imperative to ensure that Chen Jingyan must go outside the palace to support him.
King Aser left too quickly, leaving them no chance to prepare.
After Dabalagan's confidant informed Chen Jingyan of the place where his subordinates were imprisoned, Chen Jingyan took the lead in picking up his men.
When he arrived at the gate of the Mongolian palace again, civil war had already broken out inside.
He kept his promise to Dabalagan and led his troops straight into the Mongolian palace, seizing the eldest prince's military power.
In just two hours, the outcome was decided by a reversal of events. Dabalagan went from being on the passive side, suppressed by the troops of Habulji and Muren, to becoming the victor.
"Now the entire palace is full of my Dabalagan's people. I am the heir with the purest bloodline of the king. I am the next king of the Mon Kingdom."
Dabalagan, who had fought, was covered in blood, but his face showed the look of a winner.
The winner is king. Dabalagan is now the king of Mongolia, and the eldest prince Muren has become a prisoner.
He looked at Chen Jingyan and said sternly, "Chen Jingyan, open your eyes and see who I am. I am Muren, your fiancée's biological father. You and I are the closest people to each other."
"As long as you help me and assist Habulri to become king, you and I will be considered a great alliance between the Mongols and the Zhou Kingdom. This will be the best for both you and the Zhou Kingdom."
Muren tried to persuade Chen Jingyan to stand on his side and let Chen Jingyan instigate rebellion.
Little did he know that Chen Jingyan least wanted Yun Qiao's identity to be exposed.
Dabalagan, who had just received Chen Jingyan's support, heard Muren's words and saw Chen Jingyan's hesitation. He was really worried that Chen Jingyan would rebel and turn around to support Muren.
He pulled out the dagger from his arms and stabbed it into Mu Ren's chest.
Muren didn't react at all, his eyes wide open. He never thought that he would die at the hands of Dabalagan.
"Some things should not be said, so don't say them."
"I originally wanted to keep you alive, but it seems that I can't."
Dabalagan used Chen Jingyan's people to restrain him and make him work hard for himself. He spent a lot of effort, time and energy on this.
And this Mu Ren actually has such a relationship with Chen Jingyan.
This was something he could not allow.
Muren must die.
Chen Jingyan hesitated, not because he wanted to turn against Mu Ren, but because he didn't know how to deal with Mu Ren. After all, he was Yun Qiao's biological father.
He is the man who is going to be Yun Qiao's husband.
Of course, he couldn't be charged with killing his father-in-law.
But he didn't want Mu Ren to die either.
"There's no need to kill him. I promised to help you, and I won't go back on my word. But now that things have come to this, I ask the new king to promise me that you will treat Muren's family well, especially Muren's mother."
The reason why Dabalagan and Aser have a bad relationship is because of the queen.
After Dabalagan inherited the throne, what he wanted most was to kill the queen.
But now that Chen Jingyan said this, Dabalagan agreed readily.
"If you help me, I should promise you. Don't worry, I will spare her life."
Muren died at the hands of Dabalagan, and Habulji was captured and thrown into prison, to be decided after the new king ascended the throne.
And Chen Jingyan did everything he should do.
He proposed to lead his troops out of Mongolia, but Dabalagan hesitated. He knew very well that Chen Jingyan was extremely smart in the palace coup, and keeping him would definitely help him a lot.
But he didn't dare.
He was afraid that Chen Jingyan would lead his troops to directly destroy his Mongolian Kingdom, especially now that he had just ascended the throne.
"General Chen, I will naturally not refuse to sign the agreement between us, but I have an additional agreement."
Chen Jingyan frowned.
I heard Dabalagan continue, "I want you to promise that you will not lead your troops into the territory of our Mongolian country before the end of the century."
"What the new king is saying is that I can enter the territory of Mongolia without fighting?"
"No." Dabalagan answered simply.
"As long as you are Chen Jingyan, you cannot enter the territory of my Meng Kingdom. If you agree to sign this agreement, then tomorrow I will send people to prepare tribute and send your Zhou Kingdom soldiers back to Zhou Kingdom."
Chen Jingyan thought to himself that Dabalagan was afraid of him.
Then he agreed.
***
After Yun Qiao and others left the territory of Mongolia, they temporarily stayed in an inn.
They waited for seven full days, but Chen Jingyan didn't come chasing them, nor did anyone send any news. Yun Qiao couldn't help but worry about Chen Jingyan.
Prince Mingyu was calm, sitting in the inn drinking tea and listening to music.
"Your Highness, don't worry. The best news is that the Marquis has not sent any news."
"There's civil unrest in Mongolia, and I think there are a lot of things going on. I've already found out that Dabalagan has become the new king, so the Marquis will definitely be safe."
Yun Qiao glanced at Prince Mingyu.
"Haven't you heard of this? It's like killing the donkey after it's done its work. What if..."
"What if the Marquis is the donkey?"
Prince Mingyu didn't even listen to this song.
Yun Qiao coughed and said, "I didn't say that. It was you who said the Marquis was a donkey."
"Princess, it's already this late, please stop joking. Otherwise, I'd better escort you back first. Let the other two adults wait for the Marquis here, and I will escort you back first."
The two envoys who were drinking tea trembled in their hands when they heard the prince's words.
Could it be that the Marquis is in danger?
Prince Mingyu wanted to take the princess back to Zhou State and let them wait here to pick up the Marquis? Wouldn't that put them in danger?
However, when two countries go to war, they do not kill envoys. This is the law of communication between countries.
They were not afraid, and the hands holding the teacups were not shaking so violently.
Yun Qiao said calmly, "I'm not leaving. I'm here to pick up the Marquis by order. I must pick him up before I return. Otherwise, I won't be able to report to His Majesty."
After hearing Yun Qiao's words, the two envoys straightened their backs.
"Your humble servant is willing to stand with the princess through thick and thin."
