Chapter 430 Kingly Plot
Strictly speaking, this matter has nothing to do with Yang Yiyi, it’s just that this girl likes to meddle in other people’s business and wants to take care of anything suspicious she sees.
Maybe this is the physique of a hero.
So when she heard that Sun Wei suddenly came to visit, Yang Yiyi immediately became interested.
But it doesn't matter whether she is interested or not. Sun Wei is mainly here to visit Princess Mingzhu.
I have to say that Sun Wei came at just the right time.
This time happened to be when Princess Mingzhu had just eaten and had not gone to bed for a nap. If it was later, Sun Wei could only wait, and no one would dare to wake Princess Mingzhu.
Maybe Sun Wei was really naughty. Princess Mingzhu, who had already begun to yawn, actually agreed to meet Sun Wei. She might also be a little interested in the Plum Blossom Guard of Yuezhou Kingdom.
Of course, all the Ouchi guards were present.
As soon as Sun Wei entered the door, he was asked to remove all weapons and was searched to confirm that there were no problems.
Due to his professional sensitivity, Sun Wei could feel a dozen eyes staring at him in the dark during the short walk to the main hall. If he made the slightest movement, he would be torn into pieces.
Sun Wei was already mentally prepared for this. After all, he was going to see the apple of the Liuzhou Emperor's eye. If something went wrong, I'm afraid the family members of these guards would also be held accountable.
Entering the hall, Sun Wei's eyes first glanced at the faces of Yang Yiyi, Li Yingluo and Zheng Yinping, and then looked at Tang Lianyu who was sitting at the bottom, but his eyes were very hidden and not very obvious.
"I am Sun Wei, the Plum Blossom Guard Qianhu, to pay my respects to Princess Mingzhu."
He couldn't look directly at Princess Mingzhu, because looking directly at him would be suspected of assassinating the king and killing the driver. Even though Princess Mingzhu didn't care about this, as Sun Wei, he couldn't do anything that would cause misunderstanding.
"Are you from the Plum Blossom Guard? You don't look too evil."
I always felt that the princess's tone seemed a bit disappointed. Li Yingluo asked the Ouchi guards to investigate Sun Wei's affairs, but the princess did not know.
"Forget it, I allow you to stand up and speak."
"Thank you, Princess Hong'en."
Only then did Sun Wei dare to stand up, but still lowered his eyes.
"The Plum Blossom Guards from the Yuezhou Kingdom came to our Liuzhou Kingdom. What on earth did they do?"
This usually unobtrusive Princess Princess, now leaning lazily on the chair, actually has the majesty of a superior.
After all, she is the princess. Just because she is not in tune at ordinary times does not mean that she will not be in tune in formal occasions.
"Reporting to the princess, I have official business to attend to. This matter is of great importance. Please listen to me in detail."
Princess Mingzhu nodded slightly:
"allow."
"About the last month or so, our country, Yuezhou, was preparing to celebrate the New Year. At that time, our princess Rousi wanted to go to the street to watch the lanterns. Unexpectedly, her whereabouts had been exposed, and a group of people took her away without her warning."
"Rousi? I remember her, and her nose bubbles when she smiles."
"..."
There is no need to talk about this kind of thing.
"You said Rousi was kidnapped. Who was so bold?"
"I don't know for sure. I only know that they are a group of Northerners and they have been planning for a long time."
If it hadn't been planned for a long time, it would be impossible to know when the princess would go out.
"Later, after investigation, it was confirmed that some eunuchs in the palace were colluding with outsiders, but the princess could not be recovered even if they were beaten to death. The emperor was furious, and we were ordered to search. Maybe our country's search efforts were too strict, and these people from the North actually held the princess hostage all the way. Ran to Luan City."
Li Yingluo and Zheng Yinping looked at each other quietly. So far, it was actually the same as what Li Chengqi had guessed. Now they both believed that Li Chengqi could pinch him.
"This group of people who kidnapped Princess Rousi must have wanted to transport Princess Rousi back to the Northland. If I remember correctly, although the Yuezhou Kingdom does not border the Northland, the Jizhou Kingdom in the north of the Yuezhou Kingdom does. If the people from the North use the princess as a threat..."
"As you said, the notes left by the enemies showed that they hope to form an alliance with our country and attack from the north and the south together to carve up the Jizhou Kingdom."
"Nonsense!"
Princess Mingzhu patted the table, and the tea bowl on it jumped. "I, a Central Plains person, are incompatible with outsiders. Even if we have hatred towards each other, we will never join forces with outsiders!"
This is politically correct in the Central Plains. Anyone who dares to break this rule will be stabbed to death by the common people even if they are not punished by the court.
"The princess is right, so rescuing Princess Rousi before she is transported back to the North is the top priority."
The only way to transport people from Yuezhou or Liuzhou back to the North was by sea. The blockade in Yuezhou was too tight, so this group of people took the princess and ran to Liuzhou.
If you get on the ship, you will never be able to stop it. After all, the sea is vast, and chasing a ship that doesn't know which route it will take is basically looking for a needle in a haystack.
"You came to see me, obviously not just to tell stories, right? What do you want to do?"
"I would like to request Princess Mingzhu to help us find Princess Rousi."
This was unexpected. Sun Wei must have wanted to solve it on his own before, but failed, so he had to turn to Princess Mingzhu for help.
After all, this is Liuzhou State, and it is far less convenient for Meihuawei to move in a foreign country than in his own country. But if there is a word from Princess Mingzhu, the local government will have to cooperate.
But although it was expected, Princess Mingzhu did not agree.
The reason is simple. Regardless of whether this matter succeeds or fails, the final result is that Princess Rousi is rescued, runs away, or dies. Princess Mingzhu, as the person who provided help, must bear the responsibility.
Don't think that this princess only knows how to play all day long. Living in an environment like the palace, without any political acumen, she would have been out of date.
If the princess is rescued, everyone will be happy, and the Yuezhou Kingdom will definitely give generous gifts, which is equivalent to winning face for the country.
But if the person runs away, or the princess dies, then this responsibility...
Taking this as an opportunity, the possibility of another war between the two countries is not impossible.
Liuzhou Kingdom seems to be enjoying peace and prosperity, but in fact it has only been peaceful for less than 20 years. Now it really doesn't want to go to war.
Seeing the princess thinking about it, Sun Wei knew that the princess was not as ignorant of the world as rumored outside, but he was not worried and seemed confident.
At this time, an imperial guard came in, apologized, walked quickly and whispered something in Princess Mingzhu's ear.
"Manager Zhuo? Let him in."
"As commanded."
The general manager mentioned in the palace must be a eunuch.
It turned out to be true. Not long after, an old eunuch dressed in blue and brisk in his steps came in. When he saw Princess Mingzhu, he quickly greeted her.
The voice really lived up to expectations, with a high-pitched voice.
Yang Yiyi's eyes widened obviously. This was the first time she saw a real eunuch, which was really strange.
Suddenly I wanted to ask him if he was pregnant, and also wanted to ask him how to go to the toilet, but it was a bit difficult to ask him when there were so many people present...
"Manager Zhuo, why are you here? Can you bear the journey?"
"Princess Lao is worried about me. This little one can still hold on with his bones. After all, the emperor's life is on his side, even if he has to use a knife to do it."
Upon hearing that the emperor's order was on her side, Princess Mingzhu signaled Manager Zhuo to come closer.
The latter whispered something in the ear of the princess, and Princess Mingzhu nodded:
"In that case, fine."
She looked at Sun Wei:
"I will ask the government to help you and search for Rousi's whereabouts together."
"Thank you, Princess."
Sun Wei must have made two preparations. On the one hand, he investigated on his own, and on the other hand, he sent people to Pingkang City to tell the matter to the emperor of Liuzhou as the envoy of Yuezhou.
Princess Mingzhu did not dare to take this responsibility, but the emperor may have thought that helping would be beneficial to Liuzhou, so he ordered the eunuch to come and convey the message.
Sun Wei is a very thoughtful person.
