Fast Traveling Underworld Wish Department

Chapter 340 Demon Concubine 2
A few days later, Qingyan gave the wet nurse a holiday, and this time the wet nurse brought back news.The battle ahead is indeed not good. Although there is no official news, the folks are talking crazy.

The wet nurse stammered and comforted, "Girl, maybe things aren't that bad, maybe, maybe we didn't defeat, even if we did, the girl doesn't have to go for a kiss."

Qingyan looked at the wet nurse, the wet nurse's voice gradually disappeared.

Qingyan said: "It's possible, isn't it? Even if there is only a small possibility, it's possible. We can't put our hope on others. Mom, are you willing to go and kiss me?"

"Girl, why is this happening!"

Qingyan looked at her with a smile.The nurse gritted her teeth, "Girl, I have raised you up since childhood, and our whole family relies on you to live. Wherever you go, we will go."

Anything that is not acclimatized, and anything that is far away from the homeland, all go to him. It is so pitiful for the girl to go to get married alone. People in the Yuhou Mansion will definitely not take pity on the girl, she is the only girl.

The wet nurse looked at Qingyan with kind and kind eyes.Qingyan said: "Well, please mother, please collect all our things first, so as not to be in a hurry when we arrive."

The wet nurse moved her mouth, wanting to say that this matter is not certain, but she was silent for a moment, and obediently went to pack her things, even if she didn't need them at that time, she could just take them out again, so let the girl feel at ease.

After Qingyan talked with the wet nurse, she stayed quietly in the room, practicing with peace of mind.This satisfied the entire Hou family. When Yu Hou talked about Qingyan, he even nodded in relief, expressing his approval of this daughter.

One day, as soon as Qingyan woke up, she heard that the army in front was still on the way, and at the same time, there were envoys from the Chen Kingdom. There was a lot of discussion in the imperial city, and they were all guessing what price Zhu Xuguo would have to pay this time.

Qingyan got up to greet Madam Yuhou.

"Mother, I want to go to the Taoist temple outside the city."

Madam Yu Hou saw that her daughter was very well-behaved recently, and she was also happy in her heart, so she easily let go.She warned: "Take sufficient people, don't run around, don't talk nonsense."

Qingyan Fushen respectfully replied: "Yes."

Qingyan went out to the Taoist temple with her nurse and servants.The Taoist temple is not gorgeous, there is only one Taoist priest and two disciples, all doing their own things quietly.

Qingyan entered it, and the elderly Taoist put down his hands and came up to him.

Qingyan tried it out, and found that the Taoist priest had some skills, so he asked for a lot of talisman papers from the Taoist temple.The Taoist temple opened the door to do business, so naturally they would not refuse these, the little Taoist priest handed the talisman paper to Qing Yan, and smiled until his eyes were slit.

The Taoist looked at Qingyan and warned: "A layman will have a disaster in his life, but if he gets through it, his life will be safe."

Qingyan said: "What disaster do I have?"

The Taoist shook his head, "I don't know if I'm poor."

Qingyan was speechless, and a group of people from Yuhou's Mansion paid homage to the Taoist temple again, and then they went back to the mansion. The distance between the two places is not far, and there is no problem in going back before the city gate is closed.

On the way back, the wet nurse asked Qingyan: "Girl, the Daoist said that you have a disaster in your life, could it be a marriage?"

Qingyan said: "No matter what kind of disaster it is, you will know when it happens."

The nurse sighed in her heart, alas, my girl, it will be too late when this happens.It seems that the family should pay more attention to the news, so as not to catch the girl by surprise.The wet nurse made up her mind, so she stopped trying to persuade Qingyan, why bother the girl.

When the carriage entered the city, they immediately found that the atmosphere in the city was completely different.The once bustling city was extremely quiet now, the soldiers guarding the gate were listless, and there were very few people on the road, even if there were two occasionally, they would speed up and pass by in a hurry.

The wet nurse was puzzled, so she sent someone to inquire, and at the same time made the carriage speed up.

After a while, the servant came back and reported: "Our country has lost the battle. The general in front entered the city with the envoy of Chen Guo. Everyone is very scared."

As soon as the wet nurse heard this, she realized that there is a price to be paid for all defeats. When the price is high, it needs to be shared across the country, and when it is small, the people must suffer humiliation. It is not a good thing after all.

However, the wet nurse was most worried about the marriage. She didn't know why the girl swore that she would go for the marriage, but she still felt that she should pay more attention to this matter.

After the carriage speeded up, it quickly entered Yuhou's mansion. Yuhou just came back from the outside, and the two sides happened to meet.Seeing Yuhou, Qingyan got out of the car in full clothes to say hello.

Yuhou frowned, "Now that's the situation, where are you going?"

Qing Yan lowered her eyes, unable to see clearly, "Father, I went to the Taoist temple outside the city to pray for blessings."

Yu Hou let go of his frown, "Praying for blessings is a good thing, but the current situation is not good, so don't run outside."

"Yes."

After returning from the Taoist temple, Qingyan continued to be a lady of the family who did not leave her home and did not leave her second door.

The imperial court and Chen Guo kept arguing for various interests, after all, Zhu Xuguo was a defeated country, so they could only barely refute it.

"My lord, there is too much money, even if our treasury is emptied, can we have less money, or a little more time?"

The corner of Chen Guo's envoy raised his mouth and said casually: "If you don't have enough money, you can use other things to pay off the debt. Your royal family members have a direct line of 1 and a side line of 5. I think your royal family is quite prosperous. Don't worry about it."

All the courtiers of Zhu Xuguo were silent, just joking, Zhu Xuguo is not dead yet, whoever negotiates this condition will be infamous for thousands of years and will not be tolerated by the country.

The two sides were fighting each other, and the king was very concerned about this, and within two days he would call the minister in charge of the negotiation into the palace, "Aiqing, end the peace talks as soon as possible, the envoy of Chen Guo has stayed here for too long."

The minister was about to cry. How could he not know that the envoy had stayed here for too long, and if he stayed here for one more day, the people of the country would be humiliated for one day.But, is Chen Guo's request acceptable?Sending the royal family out, he is not out of his wits.

Although it was difficult for the minister in charge of the peace talks, the agreement was finalized as quickly as possible under the pressure of the king.Zhu Xuguo emptied the state treasury and private treasury, and first paid what he had on hand to Chen Guo in cash, and the remaining compensation would be paid off within 5 years.

In addition, in order to show the friendship between the two countries, Zhu Xuguo will also send the prince's daughter, the daughter of the nobleman, for marriage.

Chen Guo's envoy reluctantly nodded, and personally finalized the scope of the noble daughter. Their father's official position should not be lower than the fifth rank. If there is the slightest mistake, Chen Guo's army will show no mercy.

The king personally ordered a woman from the royal family to be named Princess Heqin.Then he turned his attention to the important officials in the court.

The ministers who looked at the king all lowered their heads. The king sighed in disappointment, and said in grief and indignation: "This kind of humiliation of the country is my fault, and it is also your fault. I am willing to bear the humiliation, but you are not willing to sacrifice at all. How dare you talk about it?" Why work for the country!"

Marquis Yu took a step forward, "Chen"

Before the Marquis of Yu came to court, someone sent back the news that Marquis Yu's daughter would serve as the entourage of the Princess Heqin to make peace with the Kingdom of Chen together.

In ancient times, when a princess got married, she would have a concubine or a noble girl accompanying her as a concubine. Nowadays, Qingyan's role is this.

Upon hearing the news, Mrs. Marquis Yu immediately called Qing Yan over and said: "As the daughter of Marquis Yu, you are rich and well-clothed, and now is the time for you to be loyal to the country. You should serve Wang Ji well and obey Wang Ji's orders in everything. Disgrace to the mother's family."

Although she knew it was impossible, Qingyan still asked, "Can I not go?"

Madam Hou suddenly changed her color and stood up, intending to slap Qingyan directly.Qingyan dodged back and avoided the slap.It happened that her brother came in from outside, and he hurried back to persuade his sister.

Unexpectedly, Gu Huaijun was very disappointed. He really didn't expect his younger sister, the dignified lady of the Yuhou Mansion, to be such a person.

Gu Huaijun wanted to throw up his sleeves and leave, the rotten wood cannot be carved.But for the sake of blood relationship, he reluctantly endured it, and patiently said to Qingyan: "You have a great responsibility now, the safety of the whole country rests on you, how can you say such ignorant words!"
