Although Yan Wanting was in a hurry to return to the country of Yan, he never backed down in the negotiation with Jiang Muxi.

And because of Jiang Muxi's resolute refusal to cede land, her condition also became Jiang Guo's tribute to Yan Guo for 15 years.

Jiang Muxi was shaken, but he bluntly said that he needed time to think about it, and then he had a secret conversation with Jiang Hanwu, the king of Southern Xinjiang, for two hours. Except for the two of them, no one knew what they were discussing.

Yan Wanting didn't seem to care about what their two uncles and nephews were plotting, and took Asu to wander leisurely in this desert city.

The people behind were supposed to protect Yan Wanting, but in reality they were monitoring her.

Yan Wanting didn't care about people following, looking at the dazzling array of goods on both sides of the road, and stopped for a while when he saw some strange ones from time to time.

With a pretty face, A Su turned her head to look at those who were about to follow behind her from time to time, muttering and complaining softly.

Yan Wanting stopped in front of a small stall. The stalls sold clay dolls, clay whistles that could be played, and various lifelike animals.

Seeing a beautifully carved swallow in the corner of the stall, Yan Wanting reached out to take it, looked at it with interest, then put it down gently, and turned to talk to A Su.

"A Su, Fu An likes these gadgets the most, you buy some and bring them back to her."

"it is good."

A Su nodded, picked out a whistle in the shape of an oriole, and picked out two fat dolls wearing bellybands, and then took out silver taels and handed them to the vendor.

"keep the change."

The peddler was a skinny man with heavy sweat on his head. He wrapped up the things for A Su with a big smile on his face, took the money with a nod and bowed his head, and thanked him repeatedly.

After wandering around outside and buying some gadgets, Yan Banting felt bored and went back to the palace.

Just happened to bump into Jiang Hanwu who came out of the palace.

Jiang Hanwu was very polite to Yan Wanting, seeing Yan Wanting approaching from a distance, he stopped and waited.

When Yan Wanting came to him, he stroked his beard and smiled.

"Miss Yan is back."

Jiang Hanwu seems to be such a polite and kind old man to everyone, polite and humble, and ordinary people probably won't be particularly annoying when they see him at first sight.

But Yan Wanting didn't like him the first time she saw him, and she always felt that there was a conspiracy in those smiling eyes.

Qiu Lian had told her that Jiang Hanwu's elder brother, the old emperor Jiang Guo, had a gentle personality and cared about the common people. Apart from being strict with corrupt officials who form parties for personal gain, he was very tolerant and understanding towards others.

He is also tender and pampering to his brothers, sisters and children under his knees, but he is extremely harsh on his brothers and sisters. Not only did he send him to this barren frontier, but he was not allowed to set foot in the Central Plains for decades. place.

Even people in the world seem to forget that there is such a Southern Border King in Jiang Country.

The reason for this was Jiang Hanwu's conspiracy to usurp the throne.

Jiang Hanwu and the old emperor Jiang Hanwen were both born to Concubine Hui, and Jiang Hanwen was five years older than him.

The two brothers had a good relationship when they were young, but at that time their father, Emperor Jing of Jiang State, preferred the eldest son Jiang Hanwen more.

When Jiang Hanwen was 13 years old, Emperor Jing gave him a slingshot inlaid with red gems.

Jiang Hanwen also likes the slingshot and never leaves his body day and night.

Eight-year-old Jiang Hanwu also liked the slingshot very much. One day, while Jiang Hanwen was asleep, he secretly took the slingshot and went to play by himself.

Unexpectedly, the slingshot was accidentally broken, and the extremely precious ruby ​​inlaid on it disappeared.

He unhurriedly returned the slingshot, and ran to complain to Concubine Hui crying, saying that Jiang Hanwu himself had lost the ruby ​​on the slingshot and wanted him to take the blame in front of Emperor Jing tomorrow.

After waking up, Jiang Hanwen not only broke his beloved slingshot, but was severely criticized by Concubine Hui who came after hearing the news, and was then fined and grounded by Emperor Jing for half a month.

Jiang Hanwen couldn't argue with his mouth, and his defense was not as effective as Jiang Hanwu's tears.

Although it was just a trivial matter, Jiang Hanwen had a suspicion of Jiang Hanwu.

Afterwards, Jiang Hanwen was named the crown prince, and the deep-minded Jiang Hanwu even secretly plotted to design a trap, hoping that Emperor Jing would abolish his position as the crown prince.

However, Emperor Jing understood the minds of his two sons, no matter what mistakes Jiang Hanwen made, he kept his crown prince.

It's just that the more Emperor Jing protects Jiang Hanwen, the more unwilling Jiang Hanwu becomes.

Jiang Hanwen narrowly won the last battle to seize the throne. The first thing he did was to punish Jiang Hanwu for usurping the throne, but because of Concubine Hui's begging for mercy, and because he is the brother of his own mother In the next day, Jiang Hanwen let him go, transferred him to Shuzhou, and never recalled him to the court.

And those who knew about these things back then were almost all dead, and the rest remained silent.

Because Xia Qiulian's father was Jiang Hanwen's companion when he was young, he knew about the fight between their brothers. He accidentally slipped his mouth when he was drunk, so Xia Qiulian knew about it.

Although Jiang Hanwen has ignored this younger brother on the surface these years, he has been secretly suppressing him, fearing that he still has different intentions and wants to make a comeback.

He originally wanted to tell Jiang Muxi to be careful of the emperor uncle when he succeeded to the throne, but the injury happened so urgently that he died before he could tell him.

Now that Jiang Muxi hid in Shuzhou City by mistake, and joined hands with this ambitious uncle, he might not be able to hold the throne even if he regained the throne in the end.

However, Yan Wanting didn't have the kindness to remind Jiang Muxi that she only needs to pull Jiang Xunyan from the horse, and then take advantage of the serious damage to Jiang's vitality to consolidate Yan's status. If there is a chance, the two states that Jiang Muxi refuses to cede may also be able to win. Down.

Now she just wants to support Jiang Muxi, and then sit back and watch the tigers fight.

The more powerful Jiang's domestic struggle is, the more beneficial it will be for Yan.

As for Jiang Hanwu, a shit-stirring stick, not only does she not need to be wary of dealing with it, but she also allows him to make trouble.

After exchanging casual greetings with Jiang Hanwu, Jiang Hanwu was about to leave, but before leaving, Jiang Hanwu whispered a few words in Yan Banting's ear.

Yan Wanting narrowed his eyes when he heard the words, then raised the corners of his lips and smiled faintly.

"The prince must keep his word."

Jiang Hanwu stroked his beard and laughed.

"Of course, Miss Yan, I will leave first."

After Jiang Hanwu left, Yan Wanting and A Su went back to the room.

A Su looked around and asked softly when he was sure no one was overhearing.

"Your Highness, what did that old fellow tell you?"

Xia Qiulian smiled, flicked his sleeves and sat down.

"I didn't say anything, but Jiang Muxi, the emperor, may not be able to sit still in the future."
