After the heroine was robbed, save the paranoid villain

Queen Mother Zheng changed her topic and happened to turn to Yan Yu: "I heard that the eldest princess of the Emperor of Cang State is very favored and has not yet married. It would be better to let her marry the King of Qin so that the relationship between the two countries can be eased."

Yan Yu's expression changed instantly.

Her father and brother were ambushed and plotted against by the Cang Kingdom and died at the hands of the Cang Kingdom's emperor.

At that time, the Emperor of Cang State was just a prince, and he successfully obtained the throne through his military achievements.

So many years have passed, and Yan Yu is allowed to share a husband with the daughter of her enemy?

I’m afraid that once Princess Cang appears, Yan Yu will not be able to help but kill her.

Queen Mother Zheng looked at Yan Yu and said, "Yan'er, I know you are a well-educated and well-mannered child. You won't ignore the safety of the people and mind the death of your father and brother, right?"

Yan Yu lowered his eyes and said, "I dare not interfere in state affairs. Everything is up to the emperor. The emperor is a wise ruler with great talent and strategy, and he must have made a decision in his mind."

Queen Mother Zheng saw that she couldn't fall into the trap no matter what she did, and her face became a little gloomy.

The marriage was of course the Queen Mother's idea, and she had not yet told the Emperor.

After the decline of the Zheng family, Xiao Chengji has been gaining momentum recently, and his status in the court has become increasingly important.

In the past two years, the ministers were somewhat repulsed by this ruthless, cruel and cold prince. However, in the past two years, Xiao Chengji's talents have become more and more apparent. Although some people do not say it, they are very impressed by him in their hearts.

Xiao Chengji is not like the Seventh Prince who is all talk and no action. He does not like to socialize too much and win over others. He usually stays down to work, but he can also take up responsibilities at critical moments.

Some of Xiao Chengji's direct subordinates felt this particularly deeply.

If they really make peace with the Cang Kingdom and let Xiao Chengji marry the princess of the enemy country, his position as the crown prince will most likely be lost.

The hatred between Cang and Wei was so deep that neither the people nor the ministers could tolerate a man who married a princess from an enemy country becoming the crown prince.

Yan Yu could think of anything that Queen Mother Zheng could think of.

Matters involving the two countries are extremely sensitive, and any remarks made may become a sharp knife stabbing oneself in the future.

So Yan Yu said nothing, nothing at all, even though Queen Mother Zheng tried to stir up her emotions and force her to say a word or two.

Queen Mother Zheng sighed and said, "Alas, it is understandable that you really mind. After all, General Wen and the young general died tragically. Their heads were chopped off by the Emperor of Cang State and hung on the city wall, right? Cang State hated them the most and ground their bodies into ashes. It's a pity that the two generals can only have a cenotaph."

Yan Yu's nose felt sore and his eyes turned red instantly.

Queen Mother Zheng asked again: "Yan'er, how old was your elder brother when he died? Was he older than you are now?"

Seeing Yan Yu being so provoked by the empress dowager, Zheng felt a little bit reluctant.

Sometimes she felt an inexplicable jealousy towards Yan Yu.

It would be really unbearable to see Yan Yu being embarrassed.

Zheng was afraid that Yan Yu would lose his composure in front of others, so she said, "When the prince of Zhenguo died, he was seventeen years old, younger than my third sister-in-law is now."

"What a pity! He was a handsome boy, gentle and polite at ordinary times, but especially brave on the battlefield." Queen Mother Zheng sighed, "Every girl in the family liked him at that time. If he were still alive, he would have married and had children by now."

Queen Zheng sneered: "Some people are born with a lowly fate and cannot enjoy a good life. Why should the Queen Mother feel sad for them?"

Yan Yu watched them singing in unison, his nails digging deeply into his palms.

When coming out of Shoukang Palace, Yan Yu felt it was very cold outside.

She was wearing a peacock brocade cloak with sable lining. Yan Yu thought the cloak was too ugly. It was gaudy on the outside and had a black and purple lining. It didn't look good at all.

But Xiao Chengji insisted that she wear this when going out in winter, saying that it was light and warm. Most importantly, the sable lining inside was rare and especially soft and silky.

The sky was gloomy and the north wind was blowing hard. Yan Yu pulled his clothes closer. He was in a bad mood to begin with, and as soon as he went out, he met Jin Fei and her group who were slowly coming towards him.

Fortunately, Queen Zheng passed by soon.

Concubine Jin's appearance and figure are very similar to Concubine Bo. Empress Zheng can't bear to see a face that looks like her enemy hanging around here.

After hearing Queen Zheng's sarcastic remarks, Concubine Jin couldn't help but retort.

In the middle of winter, Concubine Jin was punished to kneel in the cold wind for an hour.

Yan Yu said nothing and left.

When Xiao Chengji returned, he saw Yan Yu sleeping on the bed sulking.

After asking the maid who followed Yan Yu, he finally found out what had happened.

She was pregnant, and Xiao Chengji was worried that she would get angry and get sick, so he pulled her out of bed and asked, "Do you want to eat something?"

Yan Yu said gloomily: "I don't want to eat."

"You're such a troublemaker." Xiao Chengji scratched her nose. "You believe what the Queen Mother said? She has always wanted to make a fuss about my marriage. My father and the generals will never agree to such a thing. Sooner or later, I will avenge your father and brother."

There was a deep blood feud between the two countries. In the past, Cang State seized a large tract of land and more than a dozen cities from Wei State. After each attack, it massacred more than 100,000 people and demoted the local Wei people to slavery and labor.

This is an indelible shame since the founding of the Wei State.

Later, Yan Yu's father and brothers took back the land and cities, drove the soldiers of Cang State thousands of miles away, and the people who had been enslaved finally gained their freedom.

If the Queen Mother really made peace with the Cang Kingdom as she said, how could the humiliation of the Wei Kingdom over the past decades be washed away? How could the blood feud of the Wen family father and son who died in the battle be eliminated?

The Cang State had evil ambitions. The Wei State took back the fat meat they had taken away and took a big bite out of them. Could a marriage alone bring peace?

This is so naive.

Just looking at the attitude of Cang State towards Wen's father and son, we can see how cruel they are. The marriage alliance is just an opportunity for Cang State to gather strength, and Wei State will suffer a greater backlash in the future.

Xiao Chengji didn't like to compromise. After so many years of hatred between the two countries and so much blood and tears of the people living in the border areas, he wanted to put an end to it while he was alive and bring peace to the Wei Dynasty.

Yan Yu moved closer to him and buried her face in his arms.

Since she was a child, she was taught to be virtuous and accept that a man has three wives and four concubines, especially in the royal family, where it is almost impossible for a couple to be together for a lifetime. As the main wife, she cannot be jealous or petty.

But gradually, Yan Yu didn't want to share Xiao Chengji with anyone.

She wanted to be like her parents, have several children together, have a happy family, and not be torn apart by anything.

She whispered, "You can't be with anyone else, only with me."

Xiao Chengji rubbed her hair: "You have always been alone."

Xiao Chengji is a person who will never change his mind. He either doesn't like someone, or he will be extremely loyal to someone he likes and treats that person wholeheartedly. Apart from Yan Yu, he doesn't find anyone else interesting.

To be honest, if it wasn't Yan Yu, if it was someone else who acted so tiring in front of him and cried all day long, he would have no patience at all and wouldn't even want to pay any attention.
