The prince loves me like his life, but I force him to rebel

The name card and the marriage certificate had been prepared on the day the emperor issued the imperial edict, and now an envoy has been dispatched to deliver them to Qiangyi at full speed.

The two countries had already discussed the marriage, and the emperor's edict was just the final decision.

After receiving the marriage invitation, Qiangyi would begin preparations to welcome the arrival of the crown prince, complete the Qiangyi ceremony, and then the crown prince would personally bring the crown princess back to Dasheng.

This is an unprecedented ceremony.

It's not that Da Sheng really fears and values ​​Qiang Yi so much, it's just that the Queen and the Second Prince's party have evil intentions and want to make the Crown Prince disappear completely on the way to the wedding in order to clear the biggest obstacle for the Second Prince to ascend to the throne of the Crown Prince.

Various rare treasures were being loaded onto the trucks one after another, and Shu Huaiyuan also began the overall training of the wedding welcoming army.

After all, it was the prince's trip, and the guard army alone had more than a thousand people, all of whom were drawn from the Vanguard Battalion, Guard Battalion, and Guard Army Battalion guarding the capital. Shu Huaiyuan always thought that these thousand people were all elite soldiers, but during training he found that few of them were able to fight.

"The guards of this dignified capital city are not as good at fighting as the guards of my imperial mausoleum? Why is that? Have they included the old, weak, sick and disabled into the wedding procession?" Shu Huaiyuan was very dissatisfied.

"General Shu, you don't know that there are few opportunities for actual combat in the imperial city, so the guards' training intensity is not very high on weekdays, so naturally their combat effectiveness seems a bit weak. These are the elite soldiers carefully selected by the second prince himself. In fact, who would be bold enough to commit treason when the prince travels in Dasheng? When they arrive at the border, Dingxi Prefecture will arrange for the cavalry who have been fighting on the border all year round to escort the wedding team in Qiangyi, so General Shu doesn't have to worry about it." Deputy General Min Rongli stepped forward to report.

"Did the second prince personally select it?" Shu Huaiyuan asked.

"That's right. The Second Prince has always been in charge of the imperial city's guards. This wedding is a big deal, and the Second Prince dared not neglect it. The imperial edict has already decided on the bride's selection."

"Since it was decided by the Second Prince, there will be no problem. It's rare for me to return to the capital. I have to meet the Queen Mother and chat with several princes these days. I don't have much time to take care of military affairs. I hope General Min will take care of the training of the wedding procession."

"This is my responsibility, and I will do my best."

In the following days, Shu Huaiyuan rarely appeared on the training ground.

Min Rongli met with the second prince privately and reported the current situation.

The second prince smiled contemptuously.

"Let him talk about the past. He will never come back from Qiangyi. If he doesn't talk about the past now, when will he talk about the past? God is really helping me. If his father and brother are still alive, I'm afraid they won't want to recognize this useless person."

Everything is moving forward according to the established process.

During these days, Gu Nianzhi went to the secret passage several times in private. She always believed that the key to time travel must be related to the two basements in reality and in the book.

But unfortunately, no matter how many methods she used or how long she stayed in the secret passage, there was no sign of traveling through time.

Gu Nianzhi recalled the situation at that time countless times.

Could it be related to the phoenix-inlaid kingfisher hairpin in her hand?

At that time, she fell down while holding the phoenix kingfisher hairpin in her hand. When she woke up, the brocade box containing the hairpin was tightly held in her arms.

The cell phone did not travel through time with him, but the brocade box and the hairpin inside did.

Could it be... that this is the key to time travel?

Gu Nianzhi's eyes lit up.

In order to gain Sima Yao's trust, I took the initiative to give the hairpin to Sima Yao. What excuse can I use to get it back now?

This is really troublesome.

But no matter how troublesome it is, I have to find a way. What's the point of being stuck in the book...

Being so close to the royal family and knowing clearly the Second Prince's evil ambitions, one might end up being killed by the sword if he is not careful. It is better to go back quickly.

Soon, half a month of preparation time had passed.

The day for the wedding procession to set out has arrived.

The grand wedding procession set out from Qingyuan Gate and headed west along Zhuque Street. In this way, they would reach Dingxi Prefecture in three days. After resting for one day, they would reach the capital of Daqiang City in another two days.

According to the etiquette of marriage, they will stay in Qiangyi for two days and then return along the original route. Because the princess is delicate, the whole team will move slower and the entire return journey will take seven days.

In other words, the round trip time was exactly half a month.

When the Crown Prince goes on a trip, the Third Prince will take on many of the Crown Prince's routine government affairs together with the Second Prince. I think the Third Prince Sima Yao will be very busy in the next half month and will be away from home for a long time. Gu Nianzhi will have many opportunities to look for the Phoenix Kingfisher Hairpin.

The emperor personally came to the city wall and watched the wedding procession leave.

The people had not seen such a grand ceremony for a long time, and they stood on both sides of the road to watch the excitement.

……

"After the marriage with Qiang Yi, will the people of Qiang Yi be more restrained?"

"You wish! After the eldest princess of Qiangyi marries here, she will be the crown princess. Won't she protect her own people?"

"That's right. I'm afraid that the Qiang people will become even more overbearing in my Dasheng in the future."

"Alas, this is not the worst. When the eldest prince ascends the throne, the eldest princess of Qiangyi will be promoted from the crown princess to the queen... How can a barbaric foreign woman become the queen of Dasheng and rule the country?"

"Hush, are you going to die? The emperor is in good health, how can you say such things?"

……

Although the marriage was more beneficial than harmful according to court documents, and would benefit Dasheng, Qiangyi, and even the two countries' neighbors, the common people had their own thoughts. They did not have a good impression of the future foreign crown princess, and they also had complaints about the crown prince. This was exactly what the second prince and his party wanted to see.

After leaving the city, the huge team had only marched for one day, before dinner time, when people kept reporting that some soldiers had stomachaches and could hardly move forward. The entire team had to stop early and camp on the outskirts of the city.

The army doctor came to report: "The soldiers with abdominal pain and diarrhea have the same symptoms. In my opinion, it should be caused by the unclean food in the army."

"Can these people continue marching?" Shu Huaiyuan asked in front of the prince.

"The soldiers who were ill had weak pulses, weak qi and blood. Not to mention marching and fighting, even walking in daily life was difficult..."

"Prince, the sick people account for half of the army. I'm afraid we can't move forward rashly..."

"The time for arriving at Qiangyi has already been agreed upon. If it is changed at the last minute, Qiangyi will definitely be dissatisfied." The prince frowned. He knew that this trip would not go smoothly, but he did not expect to encounter such trouble just after leaving the city.

"In my opinion, it's just a minor diarrhea. If the soldiers can't even bear this minor illness, they might as well go home and farm." Min Rongli covered his stomach and said, "We have been marching in Dasheng for the past few days. There will be no danger. We will slow down the march and cancel the one-day rest in Dingxi Prefecture. After four days, we will not only reach the border, but the soldiers' diarrhea will also be cured. Of course, we will not delay the submission of the marriage edict in Qiangyi."

Shu Huaiyuan looked at Min Rongli with a sidelong glance, a scornful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Min Rongli also had diarrhea symptoms today, and now his face was pale and blue, but he still insisted on moving forward.

"Has Lieutenant General Min always fought like this despite being ill? Not only did he disregard the health of his soldiers, but he also disregarded the safety of the Crown Prince? I see that you are seriously ill, so go down and rest first."

Min Rongli didn't want to leave, but his stomach was really not working. He had to bow and leave, and went straight to the toilet to solve his personal problems.

After Min Rongli left, Shu Huaiyuan knelt down in front of the prince.

"Please punish me, my lord. I caused this group of people to have diarrhea on purpose."
