I kicked out my vicious husband and married his great-uncle

Princess Mingxi was simple-minded and immediately asked, "Mother, what happened?"

The queen pinched her brows, as if trying to calm herself down. "The news came from the previous dynasty that the sharp arrows used by the Daliang people today are simply not resistant to our armor. His Majesty has instructed me to start considering the candidates for the marriage."

"Ah?" Princess Mingxi screamed, but soon came to her senses.

Now that the Queen is willing to protect her, the person to be married off to will most likely not be her.

At this time, the queen looked at Princess Mingjia who was lying on the ground and asked, "Mingjia, I will give you a chance now. It depends on whether you can seize it."

"What, what opportunity?" Princess Mingjia asked in a trembling voice.

"You are the eldest princess, so it is not your turn to marry. But you pretended to have a broken leg today, which is not a good behavior. So I have to reconsider this matter."

"No, mother, I don't want to marry!"

The Queen walked calmly to Princess Heshuo and Cui Shuyan and sat down, saying calmly, "Then tell me exactly what happened today."

Princess Mingjia was stunned and seemed hesitant.

The Queen did not look at her, but looked at Princess Heshuo: "I didn't expect that after all these twists and turns, the marriage will be brought up again."

While speaking, the Queen pressed Princess Heshuo's palm.

This was to reassure her.

Cui Shuyan understood.

The Queen is acting like this now.

I’m afraid someone will take the bait in this drama.

It has to be said that the current situation is very unfavorable to Princess Mingjia.

Originally, Princess Mingjia deliberately wanted to create the illusion of a broken leg in order to avoid the marriage.

However, she didn't expect that it was precisely because of this incident that she would have to face the issue of marriage.

After a brief hesitation, Princess Mingjia crawled to the Queen on her knees and said repeatedly, "Mother! It was Concubine Xian who came up with the idea! She said Mingxi would continue to seek death today, and I only need to appear in Mingxi's palace at the right time, pretend to be frightened and break my leg, and I can escape the marriage. She said she could get the imperial physician to make it look like my leg is broken even if my leg is fine!"

In this way, Princess Mingjia sold Concubine Xian.

As if she was afraid that the Queen would not believe her, Princess Mingjia continued, "Originally, things were going smoothly, but for some reason, Gao Mingche suddenly showed up. Then, the Royal Aunt and Princess Xie also showed up. I felt something was wrong, but I didn't want to give up this opportunity, so I deliberately angered the Royal Aunt, hoping that she would punish me. I wanted to use this opportunity to create the illusion that my leg was broken."

All Princess Mingjia was thinking about from the beginning to the end was to create the illusion that her leg was broken.

But Concubine Xian was a cautious person. Because Princess Heshuo and Cui Shuyan suddenly appeared, she felt something was wrong, so she arranged for someone to really break Princess Mingjia's legs. However, she never expected that the person she arranged was captured by Gao Mingche.

This time, Concubine Xian was completely defeated.

But even so, Concubine Xian still refused to acknowledge him: "Why, one person is not enough to bite me, and you want another one?"

"Noble Consort Xian, every detail of this matter is very logical, and the imperial physician is also involved. You don't think that the Ministry of Punishment will not be able to find you if they dig deeper, do you?"

"If you want to incriminate someone, why bother?"

The Queen smiled and said, "Xian Guifei, besides this, you can't say anything else? You keep saying that I am framing you with false charges, but I have a question for you. I am the Queen and you are only Guifei. What good will it do me if I framing you with false charges?"

"I am not the Queen, so I naturally don't know what benefit this matter will bring to the Queen."

The Queen smiled coldly, but ordered: "Come here, send Imperial Physician Cao and the eunuch with the hammer to the Ministry of Punishment. Make sure this matter is thoroughly investigated."

The person was quickly taken away.

At this time, the Queen's eyes fell on Gao Mingche, and she said with approval: "Did you tell your aunt that Mingxi wanted to commit suicide today?"

"Yes."

"You have done very well and are very alert. I will personally tell your father about this matter. If there is a chance, I can let you go to the court to gain some experience."

"Thank you, mother."

"No need to thank me. If your father knew you were so capable, he would be proud of you. Go down, and don't let these dirty things of the women in the harem pollute your ears. You should look further ahead."

"Thank you, mother, for your teachings."

After saying this, Gao Mingche stepped back.

The Queen then looked at Princess Mingxi and asked, "Do you understand?"

Even if Princess Mingxi didn't understand, after listening to Princess Mingjia's words, she understood everything that happened today.

Concubine Xian said those words to her to induce her to commit suicide in order to pave the way for Princess Mingjia.

For no reason, she almost became a stepping stone for others.

When the Queen asked this, Princess Mingxi nodded quickly: "I understand."

"If you want to grow, you have to go through some things. I believe that after what happened today, you will make progress in the future. Remember, in the future, when you treat others, you should think more about everything and don't trust others easily."

"Yes, mother, I will remember your teachings." After saying that, Princess Mingxi obediently stepped aside.

Princess Mingjia was terrified: "Mother! Mother, I have told you everything I know. Please, don't let me go to marry! I can't bear it!"

"If you can't bear it, can your sisters bear it? You are so cruel and ruthless that you dare to step on the corpse of your own sister to plot. I think it is very appropriate to send you to marry!"

“No, please don’t, mother!” Princess Mingjia was so flustered that she even tried to pull Princess Mingxi and begged, “Mingxi, please beg mother, please don’t choose me, don’t choose me!”

At this moment, Princess Mingxi felt very complicated as she looked at Princess Mingjia who was kneeling on the ground.

After a moment, she seemed to have made up her mind. She knelt firmly in front of the queen and said earnestly: "Mother, if you really want to choose someone to go with you, let me go."

"Aren't you afraid?"

"I am afraid. I am extremely afraid. But someone has to do this. Just now, I saw my sister like this, and I realized how mean, incompetent and selfish my actions were in the past. I indulged in my own sadness and hopelessness, but pushed other sisters to the cusp. Today, I was rescued by you, my fifth brother, my aunt and Princess Xie, and I have saved my life. In this case, let this life that should have been lost play its due value. Don't worry, even if I go to Daliang, I will never seek death. I want to let the people of Daliang see that I, the princess of Daqi, am not afraid of them!"

However, although Princess Mingxi said she was not afraid, her body was shaking violently.

She said so much in one breath, as if once she stopped, she would no longer have the courage to continue.

Seeing this, Princess Mingjia said in a panic, "Yes, mother, let Mingxi go. After all, she dares to die, so what is there to be afraid of?"

Princess Mingxi glanced at her with a complicated look.

The Queen stood up, walked to Princess Mingxi, put her hand on her shoulder, spoke in a gentle tone, and said with a soft look: "Mingxi, I told you that you don't have to go to the marriage."

"Mother, sons and ministers..."

"Not only you, but all the princesses of my Great Qi don't have to go to marry. Because today on the parade ground, the armor of our Great Qi soldiers blocked the sharp arrows from Daliang!" As she spoke, the queen's eyes relaxed, and the smile that had been suppressed for a long time finally appeared on this well-maintained face.

"What!?" In an instant, Princess Mingjia couldn't hold on any longer!
