Chapter 298

There seemed to be a lot of major events in the palace these few days, but because Qingchen seldom socialized, she didn't know anything, and there was already a lot of rumors outside.

The friendship contract between Ren and its neighbors is about to expire, so for the sake of the friendly relations between the two countries, the contract needs to be renewed. However, this contract has been signed for ten years, and the neighbors have changed a lot during these ten years. There will be some inflated people who feel that there is no need to sign this kind of thing at all, but should directly send troops to attack.

Everywhere there will be war factions and peace factions. In neighboring countries, the peace faction still has the upper hand. After all, the old emperor is old, and he has no intention of fighting the wars.

However, some princes hope to gain the support of the main combat faction by provoking disputes.

The person sent to Ren country this time is a prince who is very promising to succeed to the throne. As long as this prince dies in Ren country on the way to negotiate a peace, the war will break out immediately.

This is what Lan Yuan and Ren Yichen were talking about. Lan Yuan asked Ren Yichen to protect the prince who came to negotiate peace. As long as the prince returned smoothly, she could not only help conceal the affairs between the two, but also help them make peace. Individuals leave the palace.

When Lan Yuan said that, her identity was already obvious.

But Lan Yuan is not as simple as Ren Yichen thought. In fact, there is a slight blood relationship between the two of them.

The prince from a neighboring country came to negotiate a peace, and Ren Yichen took the initiative to go to the border to pick him up. Many people couldn't figure out why. Is he trying to win over the neighboring country so that he could have help in the future battle for the throne?
But water from afar cannot quench the thirst of the near. Even if Ren Yichen's relationship is good, the neighboring country will not be able to control Ren's throne. I'm afraid that when the time comes, people will take advantage of the turmoil in your court to directly tear up the contract and take it by surprise.

Although the emperor didn't understand why, he still agreed, and it wasn't a bad thing anyway.

The emperor had already heard about the one from the neighboring country, and he heard that he was the prince with the best chance of succession from the neighboring country, so to treat each other with courtesy, their country should also send someone with similar status.

Ren Yichen is currently his favorite successor, so it is appropriate for Ren Yichen to go.

If Ren Yichen completes this task well, then Ren Yichen can legitimately become the prince.

Everyone had different ideas, but they all wanted to do the same thing, so it hit it off and things went very smoothly.

On the second day, Ren Yichen led his troops to the border to meet the prince of the neighboring country. The two sides were on their way at the same time, and they should finally meet up in the middle of three days. I just hope that there will be no accidents in these few days.

The fourth prince couldn't figure out why Ren Yichen was going to meet the prince of a neighboring country, so he went to the imperial concubine's palace. The mother and concubine had been in the palace for a long time and experienced more things, so they would always give him some advice.

Recently, the imperial concubine suffered a lot of grievances because of a light dust coming to the palace, and she was always feeling angry about not going on a mission, but the fourth prince told her about Ren Yichen going to meet the prince of a neighboring country.

Speaking of Ren Yichen, the imperial concubine was also unhappy.

Ye Qingchen came out of the Eighth Prince's Mansion, and everyone in the palace knew it, so the Eighth Prince could be regarded as the instigator of the noble concubine's current fate.

"Which prince from the neighboring country?"

"Second prince."

The imperial concubine also heard her father talk about the affairs of the neighboring country. The second prince seemed to be very favored and popular, and he was the candidate for the next emperor of the neighboring country.

"Your royal father probably wants to make Lao Ba the crown prince."

The imperial concubine was quite calm when she said these words, but the fourth prince could not remain calm after hearing these words.

"Mother, what should I do?"

Who would have imagined that there would be an old eight among those competing for the throne?

It's really Cheng Yaojin who came out halfway, making them hard to guard against.

"Or do some tricks along the way?"

This was the first solution that the fourth prince came up with, but it was directly rejected by the imperial concubine.

This method is indeed effective. If something happens to the prince of a neighboring country, Ren Yichen will never be able to escape responsibility. However, what will be lost in this way is the diplomatic relations between the two countries. In the end, both sides will suffer losses.

"Then what can the concubine do?"

"Naturally there is."

If Ren Yichen wanted to win over the princes of neighboring countries, wouldn't it be fine if they didn't let him succeed? It was the best way to make the two of them enmity.

The imperial concubine gave the surrounding palace people a look, and all the palace people backed out. She was still worried that someone would eavesdrop at the door, so she leaned into the fourth prince's ear and whispered her solution.

When the fourth prince heard the method of the imperial concubine, he could only sigh in admiration, and gave the imperial concubine a thumbs up, "Mother concubine is still the best."

The imperial concubine has some ability to keep her position. What is this method worth?
-

Ren Yichen rushed to the border at full speed, thinking that he could meet the prince of the neighboring country as soon as possible. Time waits for no one. Who knows if something will happen to the prince in the few days before he arrives?

If something goes wrong, it will not only be as simple as the exposure of his and Qingchen's affairs, but also the diplomatic relations between the two countries will be completely destroyed.

The people following Ren Yichen couldn't stand Ren Yichen's way of traveling, they were too anxious, they didn't understand why Ren Yichen was in such a hurry.

Ren Yichen didn't explain anything, he just rushed on his way blindly, which made the accompanying soldiers quite dissatisfied.

After traveling like this for less than two days, Ren Yichen met the convoy of the prince of the neighboring country.

At that time, the guards in the neighboring countries still didn't believe in Yichen's identity, but luckily Ren Yichen had a token in his hand, so someone could recognize it.

When the two met, they simply said hello, and Ren Yichen felt relieved seeing that he was still fine.

He knew that the accompanying soldiers were all tired, so he let them have a good rest this night, and they had to go back tomorrow.

During the three-day journey back to Beijing, Ren Yichen was very energetic. He was afraid that someone would harm the prince. All the food and drink were tested with silver needles. People who are not familiar with him can't even rely on them. Absolutely Keep a safe distance.

The prince of the neighboring country can also feel it, but he didn't say it. In fact, he can guess whether someone is going to kill him, and he has taken precautions. It's just not so exaggerated. He is also happy to have a free guard now. see.

The farther you go to the capital, the safer it is, because the more checkpoints on the road, the more difficult it is for those people to attack, but Ren Yichen did not dare to relax his vigilance at all, until the end, it is not a victory.

When he finally arrived in the capital, Ren Yichen breathed a sigh of relief and brought him safely to the emperor.
