As she spoke, her eyes became red and tears welled up in them.
Two streams of tears flowed down Li Daozong's cheeks. His hands trembled as he tightly grasped Li Xueyan's hands: "Yan'er, it's your father's fault. Your father is the Prince of Jiangxia, yet I can't even protect my own daughter!"
Li Xueyan, fighting back tears, said tremblingly, "Father, I don't blame you. This is His Majesty's will, and I know you have no choice. Since I am a daughter of the Li Tang imperial family, I already enjoy the privileges of the Li Tang imperial family. Now, for the sake of the stability of our Great Tang's borders, I am willing to marry into a foreign land!"
"Daughter! My dear daughter! Father can't bear to leave you!"
Li Daozon could no longer hold back and cried helplessly, his cries filled with despair and reluctance.
"Father will personally send you to Tubo. If you regret it along the way, Father will take you away with him!"
Li Daozon's words revealed immense determination, as if he had grasped the last straw.
Upon hearing her father's words, Li Xueyan burst into tears: "Father..."
……
"Your Highness, the Tibetan envoy Lu Dongzan is already waiting at the gate of the palace."
A servant reported respectfully outside the door.
Li Dao Zong took a deep breath, tried to hold back his tears, and replied with forced composure, "I understand. Let him wait."
"Yes, Your Highness! But the Tibetan envoy told Your Highness to hurry so that we can continue our journey together!"
The attendant continued.
Hearing this, Li Daozon clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white, and a flash of anger appeared in his eyes.
But he knew that he couldn't act impulsively at this moment and couldn't be the sinner who destroyed the friendship between the two countries.
His tightly clenched fists gradually loosened, and he chose to compromise, gritting his teeth and saying, "I understand!" For the stability of the Tang Dynasty, he could only swallow his anger.
"Come, my dear daughter, your father will protect you as we set off!"
Li Daozon turned around and spoke gently to Li Xueyan.
Li Xueyan nodded heavily, her eyes filled with emotion: "Thank you, Father. With you by my side, I feel much more at ease!"
At the gate of the Jiangxia Palace, the wedding procession of the Tubo envoys lined up along the entire street.
The Tubo Prime Minister Lu Dongzan was riding on a tall horse, wearing a gorgeous hat and colorful Tubo clothing. He was at the front of the team, waiting for Princess Wencheng to arrive with a proud look on his face.
As Li Daozon and his daughter slowly walked out of the palace gate, the entire wedding procession immediately started beating gongs and drums. The sound of gongs and drums was deafening and extremely lively.
Looking at this grand wedding procession, the gloom in Li Daozon's eyes became a little less.
Lu Dongzan dismounted and respectfully walked towards Li Daozong and Princess Wencheng: "Prince Jiangxia, please escort Princess Wencheng into the sedan chair."
Li Daozon nodded unnaturally, his eyes always fixed on his daughter, full of reluctance.
He gently took his daughter's hand and walked her step by step into the sedan chair of the wedding procession.
Lu Dongzan nodded with satisfaction: "It's been a tiring journey, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble Your Highness."
Li Dao Zong did not reply, he just silently waved his hand. A team of a thousand elite soldiers from the palace quickly and orderly walked out of the palace. They were dressed in neat armor, holding weapons, and had extraordinary momentum.
"My Lord, what are you doing?"
Lu Dongzan frowned in confusion, with a hint of vigilance in his eyes.
Li Daozong glanced at Lu Dongzan and said coldly, "The journey is long and I'm afraid it's not safe."
Lu Dongzan narrowed his eyes, stared at Li Dao Zong, and said in a tough tone: "Your Highness, there are too many people, at most two hundred people, no room for negotiation!"
There was an unquestionable look in his eyes.
Looking at Lu Dongzan's eyes, Li Daozon felt furious. He wished he could order the soldiers to drive these Tibetans out right away.
But he couldn't, he couldn't allow himself to become the sinner who destroyed the peace between the two countries.
He loosened his clenched fists, took a deep breath, and chose to compromise: "Two hundred people is two hundred people."
