In danger, he traveled through time to save her, and the black-bellied prince doted on her
Chapter 166: Forced Marriage at the Funeral Hall (2)
Mu Jinan was hesitant. Seeing that he had been used by Li Xu once, he didn't want to be used by Zhang Yanhe again. Who knew if the couple were plotting something?
Zhang Yanhe was also a powerful figure. He was very ambitious and was able to deal with Li Xu's sons and eunuchs.
This time, she chose to believe Li Huaijin and burned the letter.
Let Meiluo pass on the message: "I don't understand"
When the news reached the palace, candles were lit up, the hall was magnificent and luxurious, and a faint fragrance slowly wafted into the air.
Zhang Yanhe looked at Mu Jinan's reply, thinking of the various things she had done when she built the cannon. She didn't believe a single word of it, and thought to herself:
"It was obviously Mu Jinan who changed the outcome. An Xuan, Shen Yuzhong, Lin Xiuyuan and Lin Xiang are all heavyweight traitors and treacherous villains."
"She killed An Lushan and Yang Guozhong ten years ahead of schedule, forced the emperor to abdicate, and sent Yang Guifei away. Today, Li Linfu also died of a sudden illness, eight years ahead of schedule. Everything happened ahead of schedule."
"My children Li Qi and Li Dong are not yet born. According to history, when a new emperor ascends the throne, I can only live for six years. Now that everything is advanced, does it mean that I won't live for six years at all?"
"What I need most is military power. The Mu family is very suitable. General Wang and General Ge have not been persecuted yet. There is also General Guo, but he and I..."
"Since she already knows that I am a time traveler, she is unwilling to cooperate with me, which may be detrimental to me."
"Then I will send her off. Her fate will be to be beheaded in marriage."
Zhang Yanhe listened to the voices outside the bedroom, straightened her clothes, and greeted the new emperor in a graceful and charming manner:
"His Majesty...."
.....
Today is the fourth day since Li Huaijin left.
Dawn broke through the darkness, and a streak of morning glow rose from the horizon, shining brightly on Prince Liang's mansion.
The chrysanthemums in the yard swayed in the breeze and fell to Mu Jinan's feet. Her eyelids were swollen like walnuts, her face was pale, and she cried again and again.
She picked up the yellow chrysanthemum, crushed it with her thumb, blew gently, and the chrysanthemum petals floated in the air and slowly fell on his coffin.
Mu Jinan listened to the heavy troops gathering outside the mansion, and a sarcastic smile appeared at the corner of his lips. This new emperor was really calculating. The door of the mansion was opened.
Yun Chi tried to stop him, but was angrily rebuked by Li Fuguo who was beside Li Xu:
"You guys are thinking the opposite. You even dare to stop His Majesty."
Mu Jinan did not turn around, but just said:
"Let him in"
Li Xu came to the mourning hall, looked at Mu Jinan, and then looked at the coffin. He did not ask a single question about his nephew. He was afraid of Mu Jinan's power and wanted to disperse the Mu family, Guo Yi, and General Wang Zhengzhong.
Make them hostile to each other.
Before Li Xu opened his mouth, Li Fuguo and Li Neiguan beside him looked mean:
"Princess Yifang, why don't you pay your respects to His Majesty?"
Mu Jinan knelt in front of the mourning hall, without even looking at Li Xu, his eyes filled with contempt and disgust:
"Your Majesty, what brings you here?"
Li Xu squatted down and looked at her. In just a few days, she had become haggard and thin, looking like a human. A few strands of hair fell on her cheeks, which made him feel distressed. He thought of Princess Rongde, the most beautiful princess, his sister.
Li Xu's hypocritical face is disgusting, and he hides the viciousness in his eyes:
"Jin'an, your father and brothers are all watching you on the city wall, waiting for you to get married. It won't matter if you die alone, but the Mu family, the Nangong family, and tens of thousands of people in the Liang Palace will be buried with you."
"As long as you go to marry the princess obediently, your grandfather and uncle will keep them safe."
Mu Jinan recalled that in the original text, the heads of his father and brother were hung high on the city wall. Mu Yun and Li Heng led them into the imperial city, but were eventually falsely accused of rebellion and their entire family was executed.
She supported herself on the ground with one hand, her limbs weak, and asked angrily:
"What mistakes did my father and brother make?"
Li Xu felt proud when he saw her anger. He wanted to form an alliance not only with these two tribes, but also with Yuhe.
He also wanted the military officers in the court to turn their spearheads against Prime Minister Cui. In his mind, there were tens of thousands of court officials, and anyone could be prime minister. He just weighed and used them. He told them frankly:
"You are good at scheming, but you are no match for many civil officials. Sending the princess to marry and forming an alliance with the two tribes is a matter of state."
"It was Prime Minister Cui who said that your father and brother must be worried about your marriage."
"I summoned them to discuss how to avoid this marriage. They had their doubts, but for you, they kept a glimmer of hope and were willing to take the risk."
Her bright peach-like eyes were moist and she bent over, thinking back to that day when the sun was warm and she stood in front of the study, wearing her father's Ming Guang armor and a beast-faced helmet on her head. It seemed so heavy.
The phrase "Live as a hero, die as a ghost hero"
She is willing to sacrifice her life, shed her blood, and die on the battlefield, and her bones will be crushed to dust...
The soldiers are willing, but the emperor is afraid...
Mu Jinan looked at his dragon robe, embroidered with gold thread and with powerful dragon claws. She really wanted to tell him that he died six years after he ascended the throne and only thirteen days after Emperor Ming passed away.
Suddenly he burst into laughter: "Hahahaha, the generals are just a thorn in your hearts, but without the sacrifices of the soldiers, how could you have your wealth and happiness?"
She glanced meaningfully at Li Fuguo who was standing next to her. When Prince Qi Li Che was plotted to have a secret meeting with Concubine Shen, it was Li Fuguo who guided him in front of Emperor Ming. He had always been Li Xu's man.
But Li Xu didn't know that he would eventually be held hostage by this eunuch.
Li Xu looked at her with contempt in his eyes and couldn't help but pinch her neck. He pulled her up with force and pressed her against the edge of Li Huaijin's coffin. Yun Chi rushed to Mu Jinan and wanted to take action.
Mu Jinan was worried and shouted:
"Don't do it"
Yun Chi stared at Li Xu, the gun already pointed at his back. Li Fuguo saw that he dared to be so rebellious and immediately shouted:
"Madam Mu, your father and brother are still on the city wall waiting for you to get married, with knives at their necks, tens of thousands of troops in the city, thousands of arrows fired, and the Prince of Liang's mansion turned into a sea of fire in an instant. Do you want all of the Prince of Liang's former subordinates to bury you?"
Li Xu pinched her neck tightly with his five fingers, and her face turned red. The first thing he did after ascending the throne was to establish his authority and use her as an example.
He also wanted to establish relations with foreign tribes and become an ally. He had been dealing with the two tribes privately for a long time. Li Xu roared viciously:
"You cut the imperial edict yesterday. The golden medal of immunity from death that King Liang left for you has already been used once. With tens of thousands of people in your clan, how many golden medals of immunity from death do you have?"
Mu Jinan raised her eyebrows, her eyes still full of disdain and sarcasm. He was eager to send her out of the city before the wedding envoy arrived. She did not reply to the letter last night, so the man must be angry and ashamed. Knowing that the emperor was suspicious, she said softly:
"It's Zhang Yanhe. Li Fuguo asked you to send me away today? Your Majesty, you should be wary of them. You might die at their hands in the future."
Mu Jinan didn't want any more innocent people to die tragically. For her, it wasn't worth it.
The Mu family, the Nangong family, and the Liang Palace must all live well.
Li Xu was startled, but remained calm. He pinched her neck even harder and said angrily:
"How dare you call the Queen by her maiden name and curse me"
Mu Jinan didn't want Li Xu to live a comfortable life, and wanted to make him feel a thorn in his heart. He endured the choking feeling in his throat, his eyes were firm, and the corners of his lips were full of smiles:
"Your Majesty, you must have stayed in Zhang Yanhe's bedroom last night. You know that I know a little about medicine. Your face looks like you have been intoxicated by aphrodisiac for a long time, and your body is still filled with the fragrance of Fuyu."
"If used for too long, it will damage the dragon's body and kill people."
"Why not detain Li Fuguo and search Zhang Yanhe's palace carefully?"
"Also, be careful of your son, don't be like the emperor."
She wanted to give him a taste of his own medicine, and make them and his sons suspicious of each other and fight to the death.
Li Xu looked at her determined eyes, his brows wrinkled imperceptibly, and he began to doubt. It was indeed different when Zhang Yanhe was serving him. There was a fragrance that affected him.
