After Cuizhu agreed to marry her young lady, she helped Xia Qingran start the preparations. Then on the day they were secretly sent to the Meng family's backyard, the two of them changed their identities. Anyway, except Xia's father, no one knew who the real one was. Xia Qingran.
In this way, ten days later, the wedding team arrived at the border. She became Meng Lianyi, bid farewell to General Meng and his wife, and got into the sedan chair. Under the escort of the border general, he went all the way to the emperor. Rush to the city.
The first half of the journey was relatively safe because of the escort of the Meng Family Army. After the Meng Family Army escorted the original body to the next pass, they had to return. The remaining half of the journey was a bit thrilling because they encountered Robbery and killing.
I don’t know who the person who robbed and killed was. Anyway, the day before they were about to enter the imperial city, they encountered another attack, but this time the opponent did not succeed. She was led by the prince. Welcome back to the palace.
The next step was for the prince to get married. Unfortunately, on the night of the wedding, when the prince lifted his hijab, he suddenly vomited blood and died. His face was pale after death, and his lips were blue. It was obvious that he died of poisoning.
It is very unlucky for a princess to die on her wedding night.
The prince was also very angry. He didn’t even check, so he said that he committed suicide by taking poison because he didn’t want to marry him. This must be General Meng’s intention, and he immediately vented his anger to the border. General Meng.
This also gave the old emperor an excuse to recall General Meng back to the imperial city, take back the military power in General Meng's hands, and appoint a new general to guard the border.
Although Vice General Xia was not implicated, his daughter also died, and he swore to General Meng that his daughter would not take poison. In order to avoid future troubles, he even dealt with his concubine Lang Huan. .
General Meng also knew that Vice General Xia would definitely not do this. After all, they both prospered and suffered losses. If he was not good, Vice General Xia would not be well either. He did not doubt Vice General Xia.
However, General Meng did not lose military power. His two sons were also trapped in the imperial city and had no place to use them. The prince had not been given any important role since he ascended the throne.
After the original person died, he was a little worried about General Meng, so Ah Piao, who had been working for a while, learned that General Meng was implicated because of his death, and he took on this mission after becoming resentful.
After receiving the original memory, Lianyi stood up, went back to the servant's room, lay down on the kang without taking off his clothes, and then began to communicate with Shijiu.
"Shijiu, what is the original wish?"
"A good substitute marriage, even if it means death, must be after marrying the prince, and must not implicate General Meng, and must give General Meng gained benefits.”
"Okay, it's not a difficult task, is there anything else?"
"If possible, she hopes that the mission person will stay alive and become General Meng's backing."
"No problem."
"Also, the original body has already been reincarnated. For this mission, you have to stay in the plane until the original body dies before you can leave."
"She is not good at palace fighting, so she Choose to reincarnate.”
Ripple replied affirmatively.
“Yes, she is an orphan from the border. She doesn’t know a few Chinese characters. She was poisoned on the first night she married into the East Palace. Even if you helped her solve all the problems. , she will not live long enough to fight for the best interests of General Meng."
Shi Jiu admitted simply.
"The original wish is not difficult to realize. Why did you accept this task for me? I am also a high-level high-level tasker now."
Lianyi suddenly asked.
"This task is definitely not easy, but currently we can only find the entry point of Cuizhu."
"Why?"
"Due to the struggle for the throne, Wei State has been plunged into successive years of war. After the death of the old emperor, the three princes fought fiercely for the supreme position.
In the end, the Qianglang Kingdom outside the pass took advantage of the situation, broke through the border defense, and went deep into the Wei border to burn, kill, and loot. , for a while the people were in dire straits."
Shi Jiu looked at the plot of the world and shook his head helplessly.
"So miserable?" "What do you think? In ten years, do you know how many people have died? More than half of the young people in Wei have died. The birth rate in these ten years has been almost zero. Do you know what this means?"
".I understand! I will try my best to prevent such a thing from happening."
Lianyi said in a deep voice.
“It’s hard to prosper the people, and it’s hard to destroy the people! You do your best, and I will remind you when you trigger related events. The first thing you have to do is to marry into the East Palace smoothly, and don’t let the emperor have a chance. Take back General Meng’s military power.”
"I understand."
Ripple answered very simply.
After a sleepless night, Lianyi got up and went to do what a personal maid should do.
Xia Qingran didn't sleep well that night. This was the first time she had experienced such a thing. A few days ago, she was happily thinking about marrying the prince, but now she had to find every way to escape.
"Miss, don't think too much, you will be fine."
Ripple pretended to comfort him.
"Cuizhu, I'm really scared. The only one I can trust now is you."
Xia Qingran said in a low voice.
"Don't worry, Miss, you are kind to this slave. If Miss had not bought this slave back to be a maid, I don't know if I would have survived. I am the only one in our village."
Lianyi said immediately.
This matter is true. Cuizhu was only ten years old at the time and an orphan. Even if she was rescued, she had no ability to support herself. Fortunately, she was valued by Xia Qingran, so she entered the Xia family.
Although my life was ordinary, I was not hungry at least. I just needed to take good care of Xia Qingran, and there was no need to think about anything else.
In fact, the original body was prepared by Lang Huan for her daughter, with the purpose of accompanying her daughter as a dowry maid when she got married.
Xia Qingran never thought that she would encounter this kind of thing, and coupled with Lang Huan's instructions, so she treated Cuizhu kindly in the past two days, just to make the other party willingly help her. Now she has After hearing Cuizhu's words, her heart was half relieved.
Three days later, Vice General Xia came to see his daughter in person:
"Ran Ran, get ready. Someone will pick you up tonight."
"Father, can I bring Cuizhu with me? She is my usual maid, and I won't feel at ease without her."< br>
Vice General Xia looked at the Cuizhu outside the door, frowned, and finally shook his head. He knew about this Cuizhu. Although the deed of betrayal was in their family's hands, this matter was too important. He knew it. The fewer people there are, the better, so no secrets will be leaked.
"No, you can only go there alone, no one can take you with me."
"Father, Cuizhu has been following me since she was a child. If I disappear suddenly, she will definitely be worried, why not I found a reason to let her go before I left, so that our relationship between master and servant was fulfilled.”
Xia Qingran said with red eyes on purpose.
"It's up to you to handle this matter. It's best to handle it before you leave, so as not to cause trouble for the family."
"Yes, father."
After General Xia left, Xia Qingran sat down on the stool. The original plan was that she would take Cuizhu to the Meng Mansion, change identities there, and then leave again.
Now that her father won’t let her take Cuizhu away, what should she do now?
"Miss, what's wrong?"
