Cannon Fodder [Quick Transmigration]

Chapter 331 The county magistrate's husband

After a while, Wang Gonggong came in holding red sandalwood incense, Xiao Zimo said to him: "Give the things to the princess."

Wang Gonggong walked towards Mu Qin, raised his hand and said, "Princess, please."

Mu Qin took the red sandalwood incense happily, and then blessedly said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward."

"You are welcome. The princess has come from afar. As the saying goes, you are a guest from afar. As the host, these are what I should do." Xiao Zimo waved his hand.

"Guest?" Mu Qin was stunned for a moment, and she looked at Xiao Zimo puzzled.

Xiao Zimo did not answer the other party's doubts, but said to the prince: "I want to review the papers, and you send the princess back personally."

"Yes." The prince raised his hand and said, "Princess, please!"

Mu Qin stood still, looked at Xiao Zimo, and asked, "What is the meaning of what Your Majesty just said?"

"Princess is a smart person, she should understand my words." Xiao Zimo replied.

"But..." Mu Qin wanted to say something else.

Xiao Zimo raised his hand to stop her, and then shouted: "Wang Quan."

The prince immediately understood Xiao Zimo's meaning, and he urged again: "Princess, please!"

Mu Qin looked at Xiao Zimo's instantly indifferent face, her heart suddenly turned cold, and she suddenly realized that everything before was just her own fantasy.

After she left, Xiao Zimo summoned the man in black, whispered a few words, and the man in black disappeared into the imperial study room again.

After Mu Qin returned to the post station, Mu Haoxun happily walked towards her and asked, "My Royal Sister, did you see Your Majesty when you entered the palace today? What did he say?"

"Brother Huang, maybe your plan won't work." Mu Qin replied with an ugly face.

Mu Haoxun's expression froze slightly, and after a while, he asked, "What happened? Where did the imperial sister say that?"

"Your Majesty said I was a guest." Mu Qin murmured, "Oh, he actually called me a guest!"

"So it's this." Mu Haoxun breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You haven't entered the harem yet, so of course you are a guest. You are also Dayang's princess anyway. How could Emperor Shun not give you a title? Paying attention to the title, it can be seen that you are in the heart."

Mu Qin asked in a daze, "Is that so?"

Mu Haoxun nodded, and then asked, "What are you holding in your hand?"

"It's the red sandalwood incense that Emperor Shun gave me." Mu Qin replied.

"Red sandalwood incense is extremely precious, such a small box is worth a thousand gold, he has you in his heart!" Mu Haoxun explained.

Yuan Yu heard what the two said, his face darkened, and he turned and left the station.

On the other side, when Wu Bai returned to Wu's residence, Wu's parents and Wu's mother walked towards him eagerly.

"Bai'er, where did you go last night?" Father Wu asked.

"My child had something to discuss with His Majesty yesterday, so I rested in the palace to make you worry." Wu Bai said guiltily.

Mother Wu shook her head and said, "As long as you're fine, we can rest assured."

"I will definitely send someone to notify you if I don't go back to the house next time." Wu Bai replied.

At this time, Fang Huayuan heard the news of Wu Bai's return to the mansion, and hurried over to make sure that Wu Bai was safe, so he asked, "Little General Qin entered the palace early today, did your lord see him?"

Wu Bai nodded and said, "I see, he has already returned to the General's Mansion."

"That's right!" Fang Huayuan nodded slightly, expressing his understanding.

Imperial study room

Wang Gonggong came in from the door and reported: "Your Majesty, Prince Qiu is asking to see you."

"Prince Qiu?" Xiao Zimo nodded and said, "Let him in."

"Yes." Eunuch Wang withdrew, and quickly led Yuan Yu into the imperial study.

"Yuan Yu has seen His Majesty Shun." Yuan Yu saluted.

"Why doesn't the prince rest for a few more days?" Xiao Zimo asked.

Yuan Yu cupped his hands and said: "Thank you for your majesty's concern. Yuan Yu has rested well and entered the palace today to discuss the marriage between the two countries."

Xiao Zimo raised his hand and said, "Prince, please sit down."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Yuan Yu went to a chair beside him and sat down.

"The prince doesn't know that my two imperial sisters are already married, and the imperial sisters are too young to be married." Xiao Zimo said seriously.

Yuan Yu was surprised for a moment when he heard the words, and then said: "But Xiao Wang once heard that Shun has a third princess who is of marriageable age."

"The prince came a step late, my third sister unfortunately fell ill and died a few days ago." Xiao Zimo said with some regret.

"..." Yuan Yu choked, and said after a while, "Xiao Wang made a slip of the tongue."

Xiao Zimo saw that his face was not good-looking, and said again: "Although the two countries cannot conclude the friendship between Qin and Jin, if the prince is willing to sign a friendly alliance with Shun, I can agree."

As soon as these words came out, Yuan Yu thought that Shun and Dayang were about to get married. At that time, the two countries would be very powerful and might threaten Qiu Guo. After only a moment, he made a decision in his heart.

"Qiu Guo is willing to form an alliance with Shun, and the friendship between the two countries will last forever." Yuan Yu replied solemnly.

"Hahaha..." Xiao Zimo laughed loudly, "I appreciate the prince's determination very much."

"Your Majesty has praised you." Yuan Yu said modestly.

Then Xiao Zimo ordered Wang Quan to fetch two bright yellow scrolls, and write on them the content of the covenant that the two countries would never go to war, and finally he took out the jade seal and stamped it.

"Please, prince." Xiao Zimo raised his hand and said.

Yuan Yu took a look at the two scrolls, nodded in satisfaction, and also took out the seal that he carried close to him and stamped them.

Of the last two scrolls, Yuanyu took one and Xiao Zimo kept the other.

The covenant between the two countries was reached, Xiao Zimo was in a good mood, and he ordered people to prepare wine and food to entertain Yuan Yu.

In the evening, Yuan Yu returned to the station with a face full of alcohol, but was stopped by Mu Haoxun.

"The prince entered the palace today?" Mu Haoxun asked tentatively.

"That's right, my prince signed an alliance with Emperor Shun today, and Shun will never go to war with the state of Qiu!" Yuan Yu said happily.

As soon as these words came out, Mu Haoxun was stunned. He wanted to ask more questions, but Yuan Yu's subordinates ran over and helped Yuan Yu away.

When he returned to his yard, Mu Qin saw that his complexion was not good, so he stepped forward and asked, "Brother Huang, what's wrong with you?"

"Da Shun signed a treaty of friendship with Qiu Guo, which is not good for us." Mu Haoxun said with a sullen face.

"Could it be that Emperor Shun agreed to Yuan Yu's marriage request?" Mu Qin guessed.

Mu Haoxun shook his head and said, "I don't know for now, I have to send someone to find out."

"Yes." Mu Qin agreed.

A few days later, at the court hall, the prince shouted as usual: "There is something to play, nothing to leave the court~~"

All the ministers stood up one after another and said: "The minister has his own performance."

Xiao Zimo glanced at the prime minister who stood up first, and said, "Speak!"

The prime minister said: "The harem is empty, Your Majesty has no children, the draft is imperative, and I hope Your Majesty will allow it!"

"What the prime minister said is reasonable, what do you think?" Xiao Zimo asked.

All the ministers said one after another: "My humble minister seconded the proposal."

"Since all the lovers have no objection, there is indeed no one in my harem, so I decided to marry Princess Dayang as the queen to fill the harem..." Xiao Zimo said slowly.

Hearing this, the prime minister immediately knelt on the ground and stopped him, saying: "You must not place someone from another country as the empress. Please think twice, Your Majesty!"

"My will has been decided, and there will be no change!" Xiao Zimo said sharply.

As soon as this remark came out, all the ministers knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Please think twice, Your Majesty!"

"What if I insist on this?" Xiao Zimo asked coldly.

"Your Majesty, please think twice!" the ministers continued.

Seeing this, Xiao Zimo flung his sleeves and left.

The prince yelled tremblingly, "Back to court~~"

The matter of the court soon spread to the post station, and Mu Haoyan said excitedly to Mu Qin: "Sister, have you heard? Emperor Shun wants to make you his queen!"

"Really?" Mu Qin's eyes lit up, and he asked, "When will the edict come down?"

Speaking of this, Mu Haoxun frowned immediately, and said: "Da Shun's ministers are very opposed to this matter, and I'm afraid they won't be able to come down for a while."

"Then what should we do next?" Mu Qin asked.

"Stand still, let's see what Emperor Shun will do." Mu Haoxun said calmly.

"Okay, listen to the emperor." Mu Qin nodded.

While the two were talking, the prince brought the palace servants to the post station. Mu Haoxun was overjoyed when he saw all kinds of jewelry placed on the trays in the palace servants' hands.

In another courtyard of the post station, Yuan Yu said to his subordinates with great joy: "Fortunately, my king signed a friendship treaty with Emperor Shun yesterday. Otherwise, if I go to discuss the treaty today, Emperor Shun might propose other proposals." Require."

"The prince is wise." Yuan Yu's men cupped their hands and said.

The news that the emperor wanted to marry Princess Dayang quickly spread throughout the court, and Wu Bai naturally heard about it, but he didn't have time to ask Xiao Zimo for details at the moment, because he found a way to get rid of Princess Dayang. The Gu worm in Fang Huayuan's body.

Fang Huayuan asked with surprise in his eyes: "My lord, is what you said true?"

"What I said is true, but this method takes a long time, and it will not be successful overnight." Wu Bai replied.

"No problem, as long as I can survive, I am willing to spend more time." Fang Huayuan insisted.

"As the Gu worms in your body disappear, your little brother status will be restored at that time." Wu Bai said slowly.

Fang Huayuan nodded and said, "I see."

"Since you are ready, then take this bowl of soup and medicine!" Wu Bai handed him a bowl of soup and medicine.

This decoction was a chronic poison prescribed by Li Taiyi to Xiao Zimo. Wu Bai accidentally discovered that this poison could kill insects, and after he tried it, he found that this decoction could kill Gu worms in Fang Huayuan's body.

"Okay." Fang Huayuan drank it without any doubt.

Seeing that Fang Huayuan trusted him so much, Wu Bai didn't hide it, and said directly: "This bowl of soup is chronically toxic and can kill the Gu worms in your body, but don't worry, I have the antidote, as long as you put it in Take the antidote and you'll be fine."

Fang Huayuan nodded, and said, "I believe that your lord will not harm me."
