The prince kneels every day. Has the princess forgiven him today?
Chapter 169 It’s all your own fault
Xie Qiang pointed angrily at Xie Chengqian with the only finger he could still move, and demanded angrily, "You and Song Xiwan have hurt me like this, why don't you take responsibility!"
Xie Chengqian's eyes were cold, he didn't even bother to argue a word, he just looked at the emperor.
If the emperor insists on pursuing this matter, then both of us will perish together.
The emperor could see what he meant and said in a cold voice, "Well, he is here to investigate the case. It's just a misunderstanding and there is no need to pursue it further. Everyone except Qing Yuan should leave."
Xie Qiang was extremely angry, but he did not dare to disobey his father's wishes.
He could only glare at Xie Chengqian fiercely, wishing he could kill him with his eyes.
Xie Chengqian glanced at Xie Qingyuan, who was standing beside him with a surprised look on her face. His heart sank slightly, and he turned around and left the Yangxin Palace.
The marriage was brought forward.
Given Xie Qingyuan's personality, I'm afraid it will cause a lot of trouble.
Xie Qiang had no idea what Xie Chengqian was thinking. As soon as he left the palace, he angrily asked in a gloomy voice, "You came here prepared! Right?"
"What else? Like you, so stupid that you can only bully others by taking advantage of your power?"
Xie Chengqian glanced at him with cold eyes, not taking him seriously at all.
Xie Qiang's chest heaved with anger as he smirked, "I will never let this go. Song Xiwan will definitely pay for what she did!"
He couldn't touch Xie Chengqian, but it was not difficult for him to touch the Song Mansion!
Xie Chengqian warned coldly, "You only have one hand left. Are you sure you want to suffer the consequences?"
Xie Qiang felt even more angry and a little scared at the same time. Xie Chengqian was just as unreasonable and crazy as Song Xiwan.
He wants to ask his mother for an explanation!
Xie Chengqian did not leave immediately. His eyes fell on the open door of the Yangxin Palace. Xie Qingyuan's shocked voice soon came from inside.
"Father, what did you say?"
"The Cang Kingdom has been invading repeatedly, and the border situation is critical. If this continues, we will lose many cities. Only a marriage alliance can put an end to the war between the two countries."
The emperor's earnest voice was full of helplessness.
Xie Qingyuan couldn't understand, "When an enemy country invades, we should send troops to fight. Marrying them is just handing over our son as a hostage!"
The emperor said in a deep voice: "The Cang Kingdom has been victorious in recent battles as if it had divine help. Sending troops will only increase casualties. Can't you think about the soldiers?"
These words left Xie Qingyuan speechless.
She always pursues justice in everything and puts the safety of the people first. She can disregard life and death, and at this moment she really does not want to marry.
If it really came to that, perhaps Xie Qingyuan would understand the bigger picture and agree, but had things really come to this?
Xie Qingyuan didn't dare to think too deeply, and rolled his dry throat lightly, "Don't we still have the fifth brother? He has always had a way to deal with the Cang Kingdom, and he will definitely be able to do it this time."
The emperor refused, "His injuries haven't healed yet."
Xie Qingyuan was no fool and chuckled.
The emperor's face was gloomy. He didn't understand what his usually obedient daughter meant now.
The emperor said with some disappointment, "Among all my sons and daughters, I value your integrity in serving the country and the people the most. I thought you would be willing."
"If war breaks out, I will be the first to go to the battlefield to defend my country."
Xie Qingyuan raised her red eyes, her face full of stubbornness and hardness.
This look startled the emperor.
It seemed as if he could see disappointment in his daughter's eyes, which made him feel depressed. However, he had made up his mind about the marriage and it could not be changed.
"You can think like this..."
"But, Father, have you ever thought about me?"
This was the first time Xie Qingyuan had interrupted her father since she was a child, and she was extremely sad this time.
She knew about the fights between her brothers and sisters, and she had always disdained to get involved. She felt that her father must have them in his heart, but he was helpless sitting on the throne.
At this moment, Xie Qingyuan realized how stupid she was.
How could the emperor accept his daughter's order? His expression darkened. "Qing Yuan! Do you know what the punishment for saying this is?"
The emperor is majestic and no one is allowed to blaspheme.
"What do you think? Father, do you still want to punish me? But if you do that, your plan to use this as a threat to Mother and suppress my fifth brother will be thwarted."
Xie Qingyuan's expression was indifferent and his words were sharp and straightforward.
The emperor's eyes widened, "You!"
Is this still the daughter he cares about the most?
Xie Qingyuan clenched her palms and continued in a cold voice, "Fifth brother's injuries have already mostly healed, and even if he doesn't fight on the field, he can still deploy troops in the rear. With Fifth brother's strength, there is absolutely no problem. It's just that father is afraid, right?"
Every word pierced the emperor's heart, and the anger that had been letting go suddenly surged up again.
The emperor covered his chest and gasped, his face full of anger.
"You, you said I'm afraid?"
"I'm afraid this hasn't been going on for a while. Fifth brother has been gifted since childhood, so you followed Concubine Shen's suggestion and sent him to the battlefield to hone his skills, hoping he'd die early. But he managed to survive and become a renowned war god. Your Majesty is afraid his immense power will threaten your position, so you've kept him in the capital, right?"
Xie Qingyuan had never speculated about her father with such malice, but today she had to admit it.
This fact is too ridiculous!
There is really no family affection in the royal family.
The emperor was already furious, and this time he spat out a mouthful of blood and fell back onto the bed exhausted.
Xie Qingyuan subconsciously took half a step forward, but finally stopped abruptly and turned her head to the side.
"Pass on the Imperial Physician!"
After throwing down these three words, Xie Qingyuan left decisively.
When the imperial physician came in and saw the situation, he was overwhelmed!
Why is the emperor vomiting blood again?
Moreover, the Third Princess looked very scary, completely different from her former approachable self. She was clearly concerned about the Emperor just now.
After Xie Qingyuan walked out of the Yangxin Palace, she let out a long breath and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with the back of her hand, but she still felt extremely uncomfortable.
How could my father treat her like this!
If the Queen Mother knew about this, she would definitely get sick from anger again.
When Xie Qingyuan was pondering how to tell her mother about this, she looked at a figure in front of her and stopped stiffly.
Why is Xie Chengqian still here?
Xie Qingyuan stepped forward and asked, "Fifth brother, are you waiting for me here?"
"Ah."
Xie Chengqian nodded slightly, looked at the traces of her crying, and said bluntly: "I wanted to tell you something, but I didn't expect you to hear it all."
Xie Qingyuan looked even more embarrassed.
What a coincidence!
She didn't know what to say for a moment.
Xie Chengqian asked, "Don't you want to go to the marriage?"
Xie Qingyuan had no way to avoid this question, and she said in a deep voice, "How am I supposed to go about this marriage? Is the Cang Kingdom really sincere in seeking peace?"
The feud between the two countries has not been resolved since the previous dynasty. If the intention of the Cang Kingdom cannot be completely extinguished, the marriage is equivalent to sending a hostage.
The more Xie Qingyuan thought about it, the more angry she became. "My father is so foolish! He might not mind if he sends me away and uses it as a threat to Cang Nation in the future, but what about my mother?"
This move is really heartless!
Xie Chengqian said calmly: "If you don't want to go, then don't go."
