Time travel! The little princess came down the mountain and made a scene in the palace

Xixia Shucheng

When Chu Nanxi returned home, she sent someone to give the magistrate one thousand two taels of silver as a token of gratitude.

About half an hour later, the doorman brought him a letter. He opened it hastily and was extremely happy when he read the contents.

"Junior sister, I'm glad you made it to Daliang safely. I was worried all the way. You don't have a fixed place and I can't send you any news."

"Now that you have a fixed place to live, you must take good care of yourself. Second Senior Brother will come to Daliang to see you in a while."

He quickly wrote back to Xi Lingxue, his words revealing his longing and concern for her. After writing the letter, he sent someone to deliver it to Xi Lingxue.

Chu Nanxi has been smiling every day since he received Xi Lingxue's letter. Seeing him so happy, his parents couldn't bear to tell him about the problems at home, and sat in the room sighing.

"My husband, I am happy for my son to see that he has a girl he likes, but what should the emperor do?"

"The Emperor has sent people to urge us many times. If we continue to refuse, he will surely be furious."

"When the emperor gets angry, blood will flow for thousands of miles. This is a consequence that our Chu family cannot afford, and it is also a consequence that the people of Shucheng cannot afford."

"What should we do? Are we just going to watch the emperor reach out to our Chu family? Although Shucheng is under the jurisdiction of Xixia, it is the hard work of our Chu family's ancestors. I am unwilling to just give it away, even if he is the emperor."

"My husband, what can we do?"

Chu Nanxi walked to the door and vaguely heard the conversation between his parents.

"Mom and Dad, have you encountered any difficulties? I just heard you say something about being unwilling to give up and giving it up to others, but your son didn't hear it clearly."

"My son has grown up and can help his father with his worries and difficulties. Tell me and we can discuss countermeasures together."

The city lord's wife looked at Chu Nanxi in embarrassment, seeming to be hesitant to speak.

She sighed deeply, "Nancy, I know you are a filial child, and I don't want to embarrass you."

"Mother, please tell me! What is it that has stumped you all?"

"Ma'am, please tell me! Nancy has grown up and is a man who can stand on his own feet. He must face the difficulties he encounters. He can't always rely on his parents to solve them."

"Besides, this matter is his marriage, he has the right to know the truth, and the future of Shucheng depends on him."

When Chu Nanxi heard his father talking about his marriage, he suddenly became nervous.

"Nancy, you know that our family discovered iron ore last year!"

"You mentioned it in your letter. What's the matter?"

"The Xixia Emperor wanted to take it for himself, but he couldn't find a better reason. He was embarrassed to rob it openly, fearing that others would call him a bandit."

"So I gave the second princess to you as your daughter-in-law, so that he can reach out to our Chu family to do things more conveniently."

"Dad and Mom, have you agreed? I don't agree with this marriage."

"What can we do if the Emperor grants us a marriage? Is it a grave crime that will result in the death of all nine generations of the clan?"

"If the Second Princess cancels the engagement herself, the Emperor will definitely not blame us."

"That would be great."

"But will the emperor agree? He finally found a reason to get his hands on our Chu family. It will be difficult to get him to give up."

"Give me some time to think about it."

"it is good."

After he went back, he lay on the bed in deep thought. Song Liuli came to find him and saw him lying on the bed in a state of death.

"What are you doing? Planning on taking root in the bed."

"I'm thinking about difficult problems."

“Do you have any more questions?”

"You're worried. Go take a stroll in the garden and leave me alone."

"Tell me what your problem is. I can help you analyze it. Three heads are better than one."

"You said you want to make your spouse hate you, and even break off the engagement with you at all costs. What's the quick and good way to do it?"

"Do you have a partner?"

"The Emperor of Xixia set his eyes on my iron mine, but was afraid of being cursed by the world if he tried to rob it openly, so he had no choice but to marry his daughter to me and use such a dirty trick to take it for himself."

"I didn't expect the emperor to be such a person. What's the difference between him and a bandit?"

"Do you know the Emperor?"

"How can a commoner like me understand the emperor?"

"That's true."

"Chu Nanxi, if you are ugly and seriously ill, you will die soon. The emperor will definitely not marry the princess to you, otherwise the princess will become a widow."

"It would be best if you got the plague, then the Second Princess would never marry you even if you're beaten to death."

"You always say that I have a sharp tongue, but I didn't expect you to be so sharp-tongued, too."

"What do you think of this idea?"

"That's a pretty bad idea."

Chu Nanxi jumped out of bed and ran quickly to the main courtyard.

As he ran, he said, "I'm going to consult my parents now."

"Don't tell your parents that this idea came from me, or they will think I cursed you."

"I see."

Song Liuli returned to the room in a happy mood, and Qiu Shui saw her smiling.

"Sir, did you find some silver? You are smiling so happily."

“Am I happy?”

"I have been with you for many years, and I know your every frown and smile clearly."

"Do you know who Chu Nanxi is going to marry?"

Qiu Shui shook his head.

"It's the second princess."

"Is that the unruly and headstrong Tuoba Rou?"

"Ah."

"It's enough of a headache for Master Chu to marry the second princess."

"Sir, you are so happy that Master Chu has a partner to marry."

"Because your young master gave him an idea. As long as this idea is feasible, the second princess will definitely cancel the engagement."

"What bad idea did you come up with?"

"Qiu Shui, how can you talk like that? Is your young master that kind of person?"

"No, but I will definitely do it for the person I love."

Song Liuli dodged his gaze and shouted, "Stinky girl, who likes Chu Nanxi?"

"Sir, you always use loud voices to cover up the facts."

"You little bitch, you are becoming more and more disrespectful to your master. Wait and see how I will deal with you."

Song Liuli hurriedly tickled her, and soon a sound of begging for mercy was heard in the room.

"Sir, I was wrong, please let me go!"

"You little bastard, don't be disrespectful next time."

"Sir, if you raise your voice a little louder, the Chu family will know that I am a girl, and they will also guess that you are a girl."

"The city lord, his wife, and Chu Yue all know that I am a girl. Only Chu Nanxi, that idiot, doesn't know."

"It proves that Master Chu is pure-minded. He is unlike the young masters of the official families in Xingqing Prefecture. They already have maids and concubines. They can tell you are a girl at a glance."

"That's true."

Chu Nanxi came to his parents' main courtyard and said excitedly: "Dad and Mom, I have thought of a way to make the second princess cancel the engagement?"

"any solution?"

"Just tell the emperor that I have had a chronic illness since I was a child and it has been recurring. The master calculated that I would not live past the age of 20, so you reluctantly sent me to the mountains to learn martial arts."

"But you keep rushing me. My condition is getting worse now. I still have half a year to go. Most importantly, this is an epidemic. It will spread to other people. Those who are spread by it will definitely not live long."

"That's not a good idea! If the rumor gets out, no girl will be willing to marry you in the future."

"Let's talk about the future later, let's solve the problem at hand first."

"If the emperor sends a royal doctor to verify and finds something wrong, it will be a crime of deceiving the emperor and the person will be beheaded. Then the emperor will take the opportunity to kill our whole family."

"Mom and Dad, don't worry! I will definitely not be exposed. My uncle is the best poison doctor in the Jiuzhou Continent, Yechuan. Your son has studied medicine with him for thirteen years. This little problem will not be difficult for me."

"Nancy, are you sure?"

"My son knows the seriousness of the matter and won't do anything rash."

"Dad believes you, I'll pass the message over right away."

"it is good."
