After my soul traveled to ancient times, I don't want to be cannon fodder

"I haven't thought about him for a long time. When I saw this book today, I suddenly thought of that person and that dream. I inexplicably connected them together."

"Sister Zhaohua, tell me, am I crazy?"

"Why do I suddenly feel that him taking me away was also a calculation?"

Zhong Ning put down the manuscript and said solemnly:

"Did you know that the Black Dragon Guards have returned to the capital?"

"Qi Yu brought back a piece of news. Yelü Zhen, the seventh prince of Beidi, confirmed that Xiao Yu, the former prince of the Marquis of Yongyi, had indeed been replaced by someone else. His true identity is the prince of Beidi."

"If he had known my identity long ago, then there would be a reason for Marquis Yongyi's secret correspondence with Beidi, and for you being abducted by him inexplicably."

"The purpose of framing the Yongyi Marquis's mansion is to force the emperor to execute the entire Yongyi clan. This will leave Dayong's main force on the northern frontier without a commander."

"I kidnapped you and ran away with you. First, I could use you to sow discord between Dayong and Xirong. If they become enemies, the Northern Di could take advantage of the situation and invade."

"Secondly, if he pushes you to the front lines on the battlefield someday, the emperor will naturally have concerns. After all, you are one of his few children and his most beloved daughter."

"Although he wasn't a wise and intelligent monarch, he was certainly a kind father."

"Yes, it's all my fault!" Murong Xin burst into tears. "It was because I was too willful that I almost committed a heinous crime. Now Lan'er has been implicated. She has taken my place and is trapped in the palace, unable to be free!"

Zhong Ning touched Murong Xin's little head and comforted him:

"You don't need to blame yourself. You can't stand in the future and criticize yourself in the past. After all, you were too scared at that time."

"But I'm very pleased that you can say what you said today. The hardest thing for a person is to face yourself!"

"Sister Zhaohua..." Murong Xin threw herself into Zhong Ning's arms and burst into tears.

Ever since she swapped identities with Murong Lan, she has been cautious, wearing makeup that doesn't suit her, hiding her former brightness and flamboyance.

But in the final analysis, she has always been the proud and unbridled Princess Zhaoyang, not the cautious Princess Anle today.

She forgot herself and didn't want to face herself, and gradually lost herself.

Only now did he realize that she was Princess Zhaoyang.

She has her mother, her father, and her younger brother, but she hasn't thought about these for a long time.

"Sister Zhaohua, I want to know if it's dangerous for Lan'er to marry into the Western Rong clan on my behalf?" Murong Xin asked in a low voice.

This was something she had never dared to face.

"What do you think?" Zhong Ning said bluntly, "Western Rong is a barbarian land. Li Yuanche originally had his eye on you. If he knew that we, the Great Yong, sent a fake one there, what do you think would happen to Murong Lan?"

Zhong Ning carefully recalled everything that Murong Lan, the heroine of the sadistic novel, had experienced in the original plot. She was treated coldly by Li Yuanche, ignored by the servants, slandered by concubines, forced to kneel by the favorite concubine, forced to lose her dignity, provoked, and tortured.

In addition, all the treatments that the heroines in abusive novels receive are inflicted on Murong Lan.

She got married and died of depression less than ten years after she died.

In the end, the male protagonist Li Yuanche finally woke up and realized that the woman he loved most in his heart was still this woman, and he has been living in the longing for her ever since.

This is the legendary infatuated character!

Thinking of this, Zhong Ning's eyes turned slightly cold, and the desire to kill Li Yuanche grew stronger day by day. Seeing Murong Xin now looking sad and heartbroken with the attitude of a vested interest, Zhong Ning felt it was extremely ironic.

Murong Xin seemed to have thought of this as well. Because of her willfulness, a series of subsequent events occurred, and she even dragged Murong Lan, an innocent person, into the quagmire.

"You have a good father..." Zhong Ning said lightly. This father loves his daughter very much. In order to protect her, he does not hesitate to push his niece into the fire pit.

She was even still hoping to exchange marriage for the goodwill and peace of the Western Rong!

Isn't he a good father?

Murong Xin only felt her face slightly hot at this moment. Inexplicably, she understood the sarcasm in Zhong Ning's tone. She was so cowardly, and Sister Zhong must look down on her!

So she has always been treated very politely.

In fact, even she herself looks down on herself.

"I'm sorry..." Murong Xin said in a low voice.

Maybe now, she should go change it back.

Just as Sister Zhaohua asked that day:

What have you done for the nation? How dare you accept support from the people? What virtue have you shown yourself? How dare you call yourself noble? What have you done for the people? How dare you treat them like ants?

She is Princess Zhaoyang!

It was Princess Zhaoyang who was supported by the people but was unaware of her responsibilities!

It was Princess Zhaoyang who was complacent about her royal birth but looked down on the common people of the world!

She is the Princess Zhaoyang who dares not face herself and tries to make a living by standing behind others!

After crying for a long time, Murong Xin finally stopped crying, sniffling and saying incoherently: "Sister Zhaohua, I want to enter the palace!"

"What do you want to do by entering the palace?" Zhong Ning asked, looking into her eyes.

"Be myself! Whether it's a blessing or a curse, it's all my responsibility!" Murong Xin replied firmly!

"Then do you know what you will face when you enter the palace this time? Marrying the Western Rong people and being far away from your homeland, are you really willing?"

"To be honest, I don't want to, but I'm a princess. If marrying a foreign princess can bring peace to the world and bring hope to the people, then I'm willing to marry a foreign princess!"

Zhong Ning was silent for a moment, then said, "Don't worry, sister won't let you marry into a foreign alliance. There's more to peace in this world than just marriage!"

Murong Xin looked up blankly, not knowing what Zhong Ning meant.

The marriage is a national affair that even my father cannot stop. What can Sister Zhaohua do?

Zhong Ning thought, I wonder how Lu Xingzhou's explosives test went.

If it succeeds, in the face of firearms, the Nanzhao, the Western Rong, and the Northern Di will have no choice but to bow down.

"Aren't you going to the palace? Sister will go with you!" Zhong Ning wiped away her tears with a handkerchief. People's growth is accidental. If you want to face yourself and be honest with yourself, you need great courage.

It’s not easy to take this step, Zhong Ning is willing to accompany her to face it!

"It's just right. I want to send a copy of the new storybook to the imperial concubine!" Zhong Ning smiled and ordered people to prepare gifts for the palace. Then he took Murong Xin on the carriage and went to the palace together.

In Xianfu Palace.

Upon hearing the news that her daughter and Princess Zhaohua were coming, Concubine Wu came out to greet them early, her beautiful eyes filled with anticipation and joy.

Murong Lan, who was standing aside, was even more excited.

Ever since those two moved out of the palace, they rarely saw each other again.
