Quick Travel: Saving the Cannon Fodder Male Supporting Role

Li Changhuan asked for some water and simply wiped the man who had been ravaged by him all night, then wrapped him up and stuffed him into the quilt, and then let someone come in to change clothes.

Today was the day for ancestor worship, and she was wearing the imperial princess' court dress. The red brocade dress was embroidered with phoenix patterns in gold thread, and she wore a purple gold jade crown on her head, which made her look heroic. Unfortunately, the person on the couch had already fallen into a deep sleep and saw nothing.

The palace was very busy in the next few days. On the first day, ancestor worship was held; on the second and third days, royal descendants who had returned to the capital were summoned; on the fourth day, servants in the palace who had high positions were allowed to go home for half a day. The types of ceremonial guards required for different positions and the items to be given to the servants and their families had to be carefully considered and the empress had to be consulted. It was not until the ninth day, after the Ninth Emperor's Birthday, that the New Year atmosphere slowly dissipated and everything returned to normal.

Unexpectedly, Emperor Xuanzhen fell ill the next day. Although there was no need to hold court meetings before the 15th, there were government affairs that needed to be dealt with all the time in such a large country as Northern Yan. Once she fell ill, Li Changhuan, who had been thinking of taking a few days off, had to take on the responsibility of being the crown prince.

The first important thing after the New Year was to deal with the envoys from Dongli. These people had been confined to the post station. If the two countries wanted to negotiate, they had to go through them.

So Li Changhuan asked someone to bring them to the emperor for an audience.

In the Jinluan Palace, the Dongli envoy kowtowed and saluted: "Foreign officials greet Your Highness the Crown Princess. May Your Highness live a thousand years. Foreign officials, on behalf of our country's emperor, wish the emperor of Beiyan good health."

"Greetings, Emperor." Li Changhuan asked someone to stand up: "I wish to greet His Majesty Dongli."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

After the polite words, it’s time to get down to business.

"This is a letter written by our monarch himself. It must be delivered to His Majesty the Northern Yan."

The envoy presented a letter and Li Changhuan put it aside.

The envoy said, "Dongli's invasion was caused by the Third Princess of Dongli, who took advantage of your majesty's discomfort and inability to control the government. Now that your majesty has recovered, all the generals involved in this incident have been punished. The Third Princess was deceived for a while and knew she had made a big mistake. She has committed suicide to preserve the friendship between the two countries. Your majesty has ordered that she be demoted to a commoner and not be buried in the imperial mausoleum..."

Dongli showed a very good attitude and did not give them any chance to seize the opportunity to continue to blame. After all, Beiyan was strong in military power now, and if a real fight broke out, Dongli would have no power to resist.

After the envoy finished talking about the punishment of the three princesses and others, he talked about the compensation for this matter.

Rare treasures, silks and wealth are secondary. Dongli is planning to make peace with Beiyan, and Chen Qingxuan is willing to send his only legitimate son to form an alliance with Beiyan, and also wants to marry the prince of Beiyan.

Of course, they came in a hurry and the prince was not with them. If Beiyan agreed, the second prince of Dongli would come with his own "dowry" and become a member of Emperor Xuanzhen's harem, or marry a princess as a concubine.

Li Changhuan had no intention of agreeing.

"The marriage is a matter of great importance. I will report this to Your Majesty and let Your Majesty make the final decision."

Emperor Xuanzhen's first reaction was to agree.

Her health is deteriorating now, and the court has to make decisions based on the princess. If she dies suddenly, with her other ambitious daughters around, Northern Yan will definitely be in civil strife for a period of time. If she does not agree to the marriage, the relationship between the two countries will become tense. Northern Yan will then be faced with internal and external troubles, and she is worried that Li Changhuan will not be able to cope with it.

Li Changhuan didn't care much about it.

"Your Majesty will surely live a long life. As for Dongli, if it really comes to that, the one we will marry will only be a spy sent by them, who is ultimately unreliable. Moreover, Dongli's actions in the past few months have been really strange. I am worried that they have a backup plan."

The empress also had an idea in her mind, especially when she met with the Dongli envoy today. She was so ill that she couldn't even go to court. Once the Dongli envoy passed these words back, there was no guarantee that Dongli would not have other ideas. The marriage would only be useful if Beiyan could always stand in a high position and suppress the other two countries. Otherwise, it would be nothing more than sending a prince to be abused.

"You are right. We need to think about this matter carefully."

Li Changhuan was about to leave when he heard the empress say, "The marriage can be put on hold, but your marriage must be put on the agenda. Huan'er, your sisters all have heirs. As an imperial princess, you should set a good example and marry someone new to expand the Li royal family. After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, I will ask your father to prepare."

"Mother Queen." Li Changhuan looked a little uneasy. "I said there is no rush. I want the world to be unified and peaceful. I don't want to be bothered by these trivial matters. How can a love affair compare to this beautiful land?"

The empress knew that her talent was not enough to make her famous in history, but if her daughter could unify the country and usher in an unprecedented era of prosperity, she would receive more praise.

Didn't she herself never raise her first two daughters as heirs? It was only to prevent accidents and the lack of successors that she had those two daughters. The Li royal family had only been around for a few generations, but she had already understood that legitimate daughters and legitimate grandchildren were the right path. The more concubines and side branches there were, the more likely it was that the country would be unstable.

Therefore, Li Changhuan was raised by her side since she was born. From the palace maids who served her personally to the tutors who taught her the art of being an emperor, they were all selected by her personally. She was an imperial princess who was raised completely according to her wishes.

"Then you must give me a grandson first, otherwise I won't be able to put my heart at ease."

Li Changhuan suddenly remembered that they had made love a few days ago and Wuyou had never drunk the contraceptive soup. If they really had a child, she would have to speed up and settle everything down.

"Don't worry, mother. I know what's going on."

The empress trusted her enough and let her go after giving her a few instructions.

Li Changhuan had just returned to the East Palace, and Wuyou had not yet gotten up. She was a little worried, so she asked the imperial physician to come and see him.

Wuyou had been too busy recently, so he was feeling unwell. The imperial physician couldn't see anything wrong and just told him to be moderate in his sexual intercourse and to rest more.

Li Changhuan had the doctor sent away with an expressionless face. Wuyou hid under the quilt and didn't want to see her. She took away the quilt and picked him up: "Why are you hiding? Where have I not seen this before?"

Wuyou closed his eyes and dared not look at her.

Li Changhuan carried the person out: "I will leave after the 15th, you come with me."

Wuyou lay in her arms, Li Changhuan's hands caressing his back again and again, each time making him unable to help but arch his back, wanting to hide but unable to.

Slowly I got used to this gentle yet possessive touch.

"Where to go?"

"Dongli sent people to negotiate peace and wanted to marry me, but I didn't want to. The Three Kingdoms have been in a state of turmoil for too long. I want my mother to live to see the unification of the world."

Wuyou turned over upon hearing this and said hesitantly, "Your Highness, are you going to initiate a war? I'm afraid the court officials and the people will complain."

"The courtiers are only tools for governing the country, they cannot overthrow the world."

As for the people, Li Changhuan believed that they had the ability to overthrow a country, but he did not believe that they had the brains to overthrow a country.
