Prince Yun felt better when he saw his daughter's admiration and concern for him.

"Xueying, how have you been these years?" Prince Yun came closer and wanted to touch his daughter's face.

Princess Xueying looks three parts like Princess Yun and seven parts like Prince Yun.

Although Prince Yun does not like Princess Xueying, there may still be a glimmer of hope by winning over this daughter.

Just as Prince Yun approached, Princess Xueying stretched out her right hand and quickly grabbed Prince Yun's face with her long nails.

Princess Xueying used almost all her strength, gritting her teeth and looking resentful.

"You heartless and ungrateful man, give me back my mother!"

"Ah!" King Yun screamed and retreated repeatedly, "You are so treacherous that you dare to hit me!"

But his face was scratched, leaving a bloody cut.

The gaps between Princess Xueying's fingernails were filled with flesh and blood that had been torn off Prince Yun's face.

"I hit you too lightly! At least you are still alive and have a few years of freedom outside. But what about my mother? She has two lives, and there is an already formed baby in her belly."

"That was your first wife, and that was your legitimate son. For the sake of a woman, you not only faked your own death, but also killed my mother and brother. If you succeed in your rebellion and make me a high and mighty princess, I can forgive you for what you did."

"But even if your grandmother planned for you, what good would it do you? You are still a prisoner now, aren't you? If it weren't for you, I would at least still be a princess, and I could still have fun!"

"Now you've implicated me! Not only will I not be able to become a princess, I might even lose my life in the future. Even if I survive by chance, my life will be completely changed. After enjoying the prosperity and wealth of the world, and then falling into the dust, life is worse than death."

When Prince Yun heard Princess Xueying's scolding, he was of course not convinced, "I gave birth to you and gave you wealth and glory! Now that I don't want to give it to you, you naturally can't enjoy it!"

"You, a wicked beast, actually beat up your own father. You are an unfilial daughter. You will not have a good ending."

Princess Xueying continued to scold, "How dare you scold me? If the top beam is not straight, the bottom beam will be crooked. With a bad seed like you, how can I be a good person? Then my mother will have a pity. She will not know the truth until she dies."

"Even if I don't have a good ending, as long as I have a good attitude, at least I still have a life. But you, either a cup of poisoned wine or a beheaded head. Is this a good ending for you?"

The empress dowager gradually regained consciousness, and after hearing the quarrel between her son and granddaughter, she became so angry that she vomited blood and fainted again.

Even if the Queen Mother was very tenacious, seeing that she had such a son and such a granddaughter, she would not want to continue planning. It would be better for her to die.

From that day on, the three generations of the family started quarreling, swearing at each other, and even fighting in the prison.

Emperor Kangping ordered the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple, the Ministry of Justice, and the Ministry of Rites to begin a public trial of the case.

These things proceeded in an orderly manner. The crimes of Queen Dowager Xuanyi who murdered His Majesty and Prince Yun who faked his own death and some of the remnants of the Red Lotus were gradually made public.

Prince Sheng, the head of the royal family, came to the palace to pay his respects. "Does the matter between the Queen Mother and Prince Yun really need to be tried publicly? It involves the face of the royal family, so it would be more appropriate to resolve it privately."

Emperor Kangping waved his hand and said, "Uncle, no, this matter involves more than a dozen officials, and it is not just a matter of the royal family. Although it will affect the reputation of the royal family, some things are better to be made public than to hide them."

"After all, the remnants of the Red Lotus were so powerful before. The news spread all over the capital, and now there are all kinds of rumors. Rather than letting the people speculate, it is better to hold a public trial."

"Make the truth known to the public, and the rumors will stop with the wise. Uncle, I have made up my mind on this matter, so please stop trying to persuade me. There must be many people in our royal family who are ready to make a move, but I control the court, and no one can succeed."

"Whether it's Prince Ning or Prince Yun, plus Queen Dowager Xuanyi, even if there are more, I can catch them. If they are not afraid of death, let them jump around."

When Prince Sheng heard this, he sighed, "Your Majesty, even though the content is shocking, we will publish it and it will be official history. Otherwise, the unofficial history out there is really too wild, and they can write anything they want."

Prince Sheng was too embarrassed to say it, as he had just heard a piece of unofficial history.

It is said that Empress Dowager Xuanyi drugged the emperor because she liked His Majesty, but because of her status, she felt there was suspicion of incest and adultery, so she had to endure it. However, she could not bear to see His Majesty having children with other women, so she turned love into hate and drugged Emperor Kangping.

Listen, is this unofficial history unofficial?

After a while, maybe there will be something wilder.

At this time, Gu Xiling was like a wild animal in a melon field, eating melons everywhere. Going to a teahouse to drink tea, with a pot of tea and a plate of snacks, you can hear all kinds of wild history.

This is more interesting than reading storybooks.

This wave of stories has sparked a lot of discussion.

But soon Gu Xiling had no time to listen to these unofficial histories, because the Beirong had already submitted a letter of surrender to Kangguo.

At this time, Lai Fu had become the King of Beirong. After some efforts to win over and suppress others, he had stabilized the internal situation of Beirong and firmly sat on the throne.

Along with the letter of surrender, there was also a letter from Lai Fu requesting Emperor Kangping to grant him marriage.

Emperor Kangping accepted the letter of surrender sent by the Northern Rong delegation and also accepted the letter of credence from the Northern Rong.

After several days of deliberation, it was decided to marry Princess Kanghe to Lu (Lai Fu) of the great Northern Rong Dynasty.

Not only that, Emperor Kangping ordered the Imperial Observatory to calculate the date and the Ministry of Rites to arrange related matters.

Marquis Changning was still in the northern border at this time and had not returned.

After waiting for the marriage team and the Northern Rong delegation from the capital to return to the northern border, he escorted Princess Kanghe to Northern Rong as the ambassador of Kangguo.

At this time, Xiulan and Lai Fu's son was already half a year old. He was white, plump, and very strong, able to withstand long journeys.

In the past six months, Xiulan has not only learned the Beirong language fluently, but also kept fit every day by running and learning horse riding.

After all, when you arrive in Beirong, you have to adapt to the local customs. Only if you are physically strong can you survive in a foreign country.

Gu Xiling held Xiulan's hand and said, "Your Majesty has prepared the Princess's Palace for you. I will escort you there today!"

Xiulan was a little nervous, "Madam, I don't want to go anywhere. I just want to be with you. This way I will feel safe and at ease."

Gu Xiling smiled and said, "You are of a special status now, and you are the one who maintains the hope of friendship between the two countries. The court attaches great importance to you. Just use the etiquette you learned and follow the instructions."

"If you can understand what some people say, you should respond. Even if you understand but don't want to respond, you should pretend not to understand. Anyway, your status is already high and it's up to others to accommodate you, not you to condescend to accommodate others."

"No matter where we go, we are humble and polite, but this does not mean weakness. When it is time to be strong, don't swallow your anger. In Beirong, where the strong are respected, your concession may be seen as weakness."

"Anyway, you should analyze the specific situation yourself. You are a very smart woman, this is what I have always thought. No matter what environment you are in, I believe it will not change your character!"
