Chapter 406: What you gain is what you lose
Yan Li leaned on the bedside, recalling the scene when he first arrived in the Mu Kingdom, and smiled faintly: "Yan Li is an orphan girl who was left in the care of the Taifu of the Mu Kingdom. Her biological mother is Jiang Yi, the Queen of the Jin Kingdom. In those days, everyone was They thought Jiang Yi was dead, so they didn't treat Yan Li well."
Xuanyuan Jiahe frowned: "Since you are a Taifu, you should be a noble family and a benevolent family. How come you can't even treat your own granddaughter well?"
"Because Jiang Yi had a good reputation at the beginning and was rumored to have eloped with others. After getting pregnant, she returned to the Jiang family and gave birth to a daughter." Yan Li's voice was calm, "And because Jiang Yi had an agreement with the emperor, Yan Li was given the gift of She is married to the prince and is the prince's fiancée, but this marriage has been coveted by the Jiang family's granddaughter. In order to win the title of princess, they teamed up with the prince to frame Yan Li. "
Xuanyuan Jiahe frowned: "So, everyone in the Jiang family is a good person."
"When I just came over, Yan Li was wrongly accused by the prince. Her uncle and aunt ordered people to beat her up. A good girl was forced to death." Yan Li's expression was slightly cold, "But I have already given it to her. If she knows the truth, she should be able to reincarnate with peace of mind."
"What a poor girl." Xuanyuan Jiahe frowned, with some pity on his face, "I hope she can live a better life in the next life."
Yan Li nodded: "She is a lucky person."
"Then the emperor's sister was in a very difficult situation when she first arrived in the Mu Kingdom?" Xuanyuan Jiahe's expression tightened slightly, and he was obviously distressed, "She was alone, with no one she knew by her side, and the selfishness of everyone in the Jiang family. How difficult it must be to live a profitable life. "M.
"It's not difficult to pour." Yan Li smiled gently, "The incident was so big that it alarmed Emperor Mu. He personally arrived at the Jiang family and brought me, an orphan, into the palace, and severely punished the prince and everyone in the Jiang family. , and made me a princess.”
"This emperor is quite wise, and evildoers should be severely punished." Xuanyuan Jiahe said, his expression a little embarrassed, and then the corners of his mouth turned up, "So the emperor specially asked for the title of Nanyang?"
"Yes." Yan Li rubbed her head, "Is this deliberately trying to overwhelm you?"
Xuanyuan Jiahe smiled coquettishly.
"Prince Mu is an irresponsible person, selfish and dirty. After being severely punished by the emperor, Yan Li's marriage to him was naturally cancelled."
Xuanyuan Jiahe nodded: "Well done, this kind of person is worthy of carrying the emperor's shoes."
"The emperor later wanted to grant me a new marriage, and I fell in love with the Ninth Prince." Yan Li said, with a slight pause in her tone, "At first, I only knew that he was the God of War. He was invincible on the battlefield. He was one of the Nine Kingdoms who became famous at a young age. "One of the people, I didn't know that he had stayed in the South Country for so many years."
"Then the emperor agreed?"
"Um."
Xuanyuan Jiahe thoughtfully said: "He is quite good to the imperial sister."
Yan Li smiled: "That time just passed, I was alone, and my body was too weak. Since the emperor wanted to grant me a marriage, I simply found the strongest one. Originally, I just wanted to temporarily reach a cooperative relationship, but I didn't expect that it would be wrong. 녈Accidental collision, Mu Cang actually had his heart set on it. "
Xuanyuan Jiahe raised his eyebrows: "The person he likes is the imperial sister herself?"
Yan Li nodded: "Yes."
"It seems that this is fate." Xuanyuan Jiahe marveled, "It may be a deliberate arrangement by the high priest."
Since the high priest had long thought that Mucang was the Pojun Star, only the Emperor Star could suppress it, and the high priest had indeed brought the young Mucang to the Southern Kingdom fifteen years ago, then after Xuanyuan Xi and his death, Letting her soul be reborn in an orphan girl is something that can be done.
After his rebirth, his identity was so close to that of Mu Cang, so he really answered the question of being close to the water, and it was natural for the two to have emotional contact.
Xuanyuan Jiahe smiled slightly: "The high priest is really an unpredictable person. It seems that everything is under his control, which makes people feel scary."
If people's destiny can be controlled arbitrarily, the world will be in chaos.
"No one is omnipotent." Yan Li frowned and said calmly, "Every gain must be a loss. If you do something against heaven, you have to pay a price. This is true for emperors, and so is the high priest."
Everyone should follow the rules of heaven and be free to act arbitrarily.
Xuanyuan Jiahe nodded slightly: "Yes."
A somewhat complicated look appeared on Yan Li's eyebrows, and she felt mixed emotions when thinking of the high priest who dedicated his life to praying for the Southern Kingdom's royal family and the common people.
"Sister Huang." Xuanyuan Jiahe was silent for a moment and then spoke again, "The Ninth Prince is so powerful, haven't you ever thought of becoming the emperor?"
"No." Yan Li shook his head, "He wanted to help me become the overlord of the world. At first, I was really inspired by him to fight. However, the more I experienced, the more I realized that peace is easy to come by. The responsibility of an emperor is to become the overlord of the world. , but depends on the stability of the people under his jurisdiction.”
Xuanyuan Jiahe nodded: "Sister Huang is right. Although the Southern Kingdom is the strongest among the nine countries in the world, the other countries have their own strengths. No one is vulnerable. If a war really breaks out, it will inevitably cause chaos in the world. , no one is immune.”
Once a war begins, it can take as short as three to five or seven years or as long as more than ten or twenty years. The whole world will be plunged into a war-torn era, and it will be easy to end but difficult to start.
Therefore, Xuanyuan Jiahe felt that her imperial sister was really a wise and great king.
She has the mind and decisiveness of a man, and the kindness and softness of a woman.
She is smart and decisive, but also tolerant and gentle.
In Xuanyuan Jiahe's heart, Sister Huang is the best and best woman in the world, and no one can compare with her.
Even if it was the Ninth Prince of Mu State, he could only barely qualify.
Xuanyuan Jiahe thought secretly in his heart, but did not say such thoughts aloud, and quickly turned back to the previous topic: "After the emperor granted you marriage, did the Ninth Prince know the identity of the emperor's sister?"
Yan Li shook her head, thinking of Mu Cang's original response, at this moment she understood that Mu Cang's understanding of her had already penetrated into his bones. In addition to the traces of Tianshu people and Hai Dongqing that made him doubt her identity, Mu Cang was afraid that he had already known the rest.
After all, if you like someone, you will keep all her preferences and habits in your heart.
"It's early." Yan Li lay down on the bed, "Go to bed early."
"But I haven't heard enough." Xuanyuan Jiahe was a little reluctant, and fell beside Yan Li, "Sister, tell me more."
"What else do you want to hear?"
"Well, just talk about you and the Ninth Prince."
Yan Li laughed: "There's nothing to say between him and me. We are both slow in our relationship, and there is not so much drama. But my marriage to Mu Cang caused public outrage in the Mu Kingdom. Those noble ladies regarded me as an enemy, which led to me often dealing with hostile people later."
