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

"Ha!" Qi Yu spat out a word coldly, "Tell me, how are you helping me share my worries?"

Zhong Ning immediately spoke righteously:

"Your Excellency has entrusted me with the task of helping the princess let go of her sorrow and grief. What I am doing is to create a forest for her. This way, she will surely forget about that crooked willow tree!"

"As the saying goes, there are always better flowers in the world, so why bother to fall in love with just one? Princess, don't you agree?"

"Yes, yes," Princess Zhaoyang immediately nodded in agreement, "I can no longer remember what Prince Xiao looks like."

Qi Yu was so angry that he laughed at the two people's singing and shouting.

"So, it is I who am disturbing you?"

"No, no, you came at the right time, do you want to play together?" Zhong Ning tried to excuse himself, but realized something was wrong after he said it.

"No, no, what I mean is, sir, do you want to..."

Everyone's eyes were fixed on Zhong Ning, especially Qi Yu's pair of icy eyes, which made her scalp tingle.

Finally, she drew a line across her mouth with her two fingers and closed it tightly.

Can't she just keep silent?

Qi Yu glanced at her coldly, then signaled his men to take those concubines away first.

Princess Zhaoyang watched her beloved concubines being taken away and suddenly became anxious, "Qi Yu, where are you taking them? Don't hurt them..."

"Why, does the princess really intend to take them into the palace?"

"I, I just think they are just keeping me company and entertaining me. Their crime is not punishable by death!"

"Don't worry, Princess. I'm just asking someone to take them down to rest!"

"That's good, that's good!" Princess Zhaoyang patted her chest and felt relieved.

She was an innocent person to begin with, and if she lost her life because of playing games with them, then she would be guilty of a great sin.

Qi Yu returned to the main hall with a gloomy face.

Before he had time to shower and wash himself, he received an urgent secret document with a yellow seal from his subordinates. This was a special secret letter from the current emperor.

There must be a reason for writing to me at this time.

Qi Yu took the letter and read it quickly. Then his expression became cold and serious, and his face became even uglier.

There were also secret agents from the Northern Di in the capital, who reported to the Western Rong prince Li Yuanche that Princess Zhaoyang and Xiao Yu had eloped and fled to Fengcheng County.

Originally, Prince Li Yuanche of Xirong had doubts about Princess Zhaoyang's frequent avoidance of his guests.

Now that he knew that the woman he loved had run away with someone else in order not to marry him, he was immediately enraged and broke into the palace.

I swear to meet Princess Zhaoyang!

For the sake of royal honor, Emperor Yong carefully trained Prince An's concubine Murong Lan to be the second Princess Zhaoyang. She originally looked 70% like her, and after dressing up, she looked 90% like her.

She and the Xirong prince looked at each other through the curtain and temporarily fooled the public.

A wave of unrest, a wave of up again.

Qi Yu led the Black Dragon Guard to leave the capital secretly, but someone reported this to the ears of the Prince of Western Rong, who said that if it wasn't Princess Zhaoyang in Fengcheng County, why would the emperor send his confidant to personally greet her?

It can be seen that Princess Zhaoyang in the palace must be a fake.

The real Princess Zhaoyang is now in a small folk town.

And they have empirical evidence that in the Wang Family Garden in Fengcheng County, layers of guards are indeed protecting a woman.

Li Yuanche became suspicious again.

He openly questioned the Black Dragon Guard leader, Si Qiyu, in the court as to why he had gone to such a small county. Emperor Yong was so deceiving the Western Rong, but did he not take the entire Western Rong seriously?

Emperor Yong had no choice but to make up a romantic story.

It was said that fifteen years ago, he was on a secret tour and met a woman, with whom he had a fleeting romance. Fifteen years later, he heard that the woman had died of illness. Before her death, she sent someone to tell him that she had given birth to a child.

Qi Yu did go to pick someone up, but the person he picked up was not Princess Zhaoyang, but his own princess who had been living among the common people.

Although the Western Rong prince temporarily believed this statement, he suggested that since Lord Qi had found the princess who had been living among the people, he should return to the capital to recognize his ancestors.

What I mean is, didn’t you say that you have hidden gems among the people?

Why don't you bring it back for us to see?

Emperor Yong said that he felt a little depressed!

A daughter's willfulness triggered a series of subsequent reactions.

He wanted to refuse outright, but the Western Rong army was at the forefront. If it weren't for the alliance between the two countries, they might march south at any time and start a war with Dayong.

Over the years, Dayong has valued civil officials over military officials, and there are very few generals who can truly lead troops in battle. Marquis Yongyi is one of them, but he was implicated in a major case of secret communication with the Northern Di.

This resulted in Emperor Yong being completely unable to resist the aggressive Western Rong prince.

He was really afraid that during his reign, he would end up as a king whose country was destroyed because of his hostility with the Western Rong.

So he wrote a letter to explain the reason and asked Qi Yu to quickly find a woman to act as the spokesperson for his common princess and return to the capital in her place.

The real Princess Zhaoyang is hiding in the dark and can return secretly.

Qi Yu's fingers holding the letter tightened slightly.

He could imagine how domineering and rude the Western Rong prince would be, but he was also heartbroken that the Dayong army was weak and full of old, weak and sick soldiers.

Otherwise, why would Your Majesty be forced to this point by a mere prince?

He made up his own rumors, going on an incognito tour and having a fleeting romance, and in the end, he even got the princess involved.

He was about to set off to return to the capital. Where could he find a princess for him?

It's about the romantic affair fifteen years ago.

Fifteen years ago, the princess should have been around fourteen this year!

Fourteen years old, princess!

Qi Yu's eyes deepened slightly, and he picked up the stack of investigation records about Zhong Ning's life experience on the table again.

Fourteen years ago, just after he was born, he was maliciously taken out of the capital.

The person behind the scenes is unknown.

The other party spent so much energy planning this matter, which shows that she must not come from a poor family.

Fourteen years ago, similarly born...

"Come here!" Qi Yu shouted, "Send a message to Zhao Yu. I want to know which children were born to the wealthy families in Shengjing fourteen years ago."

Zhao Yu is the head of intelligence in the Black Dragon Guard.

If we want to get to the bottom of this matter, this person is the one!

...

Datong Mansion.

Zheng Fu, the director of Datong Tizhusi, is currently reviewing official documents in his study.

Suddenly, the lights in the house flickered.

A man in black appeared in front of him and handed him a secret letter.

Zheng Fu took the secret letter, read it carefully, and then sighed: "Old Master, you really flatter me!"

The man in black said in a cold voice, "My Lord has said that no matter whether you mobilize troops or use bandits, you must completely annihilate Qi Yu and the Black Dragon Guards and capture Princess Zhaoyang alive."

"Your humble servant sees in this letter that there is a princess from the common people?" Zheng Fu confirmed again.

"My lord said that the princess was just an excuse made up by His Majesty. There is no such person. The person that Qi Yu protected and brought back to the capital could only be Princess Zhaoyang!" The man in black replied indifferently.

Zheng Fu's face was hesitant, and then a bitter look appeared on his face. "Your Excellency is really praising me. They are the Black Dragon Guards, your Majesty's men! I really can't guarantee..."

"Don't worry, Master Tiju, there will be others cooperating in secret!"
