After rebirth, I made the princes cry

Gao was not someone who could be easily persuaded. She proposed to go with Madam Wei to meet Yingshu.

"Why are they avoiding me now?" The Lord of Shenyuan Palace was really puzzled. She went to the Liang Club to ask for advice, but Yingshu was unable to get away, so she could only talk to Deputy Leader Liang. Deputy Leader Liang's chess skills were better than hers, and he was quite capable of being a chess master. But every time she talked with Deputy Leader Liang, Ling Shanggong would ask her to change to wild tea. This tea tasted a bit bitter when it was just brewed, but it became even more bitter when it was half warm. The Lord of Shenyuan Palace thought that if she could socialize with Yingshu from all walks of life in the Northern Han Dynasty, it would be better to avoid "drinking medicine" on hot days.

Liang Hui wanted to set up a game today, but he hadn't finished it yet. When he asked, he heard the tone of the security officer: "Gao came at this time, probably because the spy agency of Northern Zhao was completely eliminated. In this matter, Deputy Envoy Zuo deliberately wanted to be in the limelight and took the initiative to take the suspicion of revenge against Xiping rioters out of personal grudges. No matter whether they are from the Northern Han or Northern Zhao, no matter what their intentions are, whether they want to question you face to face or attack you indirectly, they dare not disturb you. Deputy Envoy Zuo did this to avoid disturbing your peace."

"Deputy Envoy Zuo is thinking about me. How could I not know that?"

Liang Hui quickly put down the chess piece and said politely, "My words were inappropriate. I hope you will forgive me."

"I am grateful to Vice-Leader Liang for escorting me on this trip. How can I blame him? I was just joking and didn't want him to just comfort me. I only said soft words, but I still haven't learned how to speak humorously and avoid more misunderstandings... We are on this mission to Northern Han, and we share the same fate. We should be considered comrades-in-arms. Vice-Leader Liang really doesn't need to be so cautious."

Subconsciously, Dianjun picked up the teacup again.

"Does Your Excellency feel bad because the Left Deputy Envoy has to lead the charge in everything?"

"She was the one who came up with the plan and charged into battle. Now I can't even share Ah Shu's worries." The Palace Lord sighed, "I am afraid of becoming a burden to them. If it weren't for my safety, it would be easy for Ah Shu and the two princes to escape from Northern Han."

"Although the Left Deputy Envoy is a woman and has only just come of age, she was once a female historian in Qianyang Palace. She was not involved in government affairs, but she knew about them. In Jiankang Palace, she often interacted with the Queen and Madam Zheng. The Lord of the Palace has never been involved in inner court disputes and has never had the opportunity to understand political affairs. It is natural that he is unfamiliar with court decisions." Liang Hui paused slightly, but couldn't help but comfort him: "If the Lord of the Palace had not wanted to promote this peace agreement, there would be no need for him to put himself in danger. The duty of the two Your Highnesses and the Left Deputy Envoy is to protect the Lord of the Palace and return home safely. In the final analysis, they are all contributing to the country of Dayu, just like the soldiers who fought on the battlefield to protect the stability of the Lord of the Kingdom. No one is a burden to anyone else."

"I also want to become stronger and truly fight alongside you, but I don't have the talent."

"Your Excellency's perseverance and determination to put the overall situation first are far superior to many men."

The Palace Master smiled and said, "I know that Deputy Commander Liang was not trying to please me. If He Zhi, who was guarding Yizhou, did not have so many selfish thoughts, I might not have to go to Northern Han."

Liang Hui raised his eyes in surprise. He did not expect that the Palace Master would discuss with him the power struggles in Dayu, and pointed out incisively that if He Zhi had not been incompetent, Dayu would not be afraid of the threat from Northern Han at all.

"I also know that your father, Shang Cai Hou, is from the same aristocratic class as He Zhi and He Ao, but his ambitions are not limited to the private interests of his own family. Otherwise, I am afraid he would not have allowed Deputy Commander Liang to follow Xin Sujun and serve in the Central Army."

Liang Hui couldn't help but smile. "Father and brother have very different ideas. The Liang family in Shangcai has always been difficult to reach a consensus on whether to follow the powerful or serve the emperor. In fact, no one can tell the winner between the monarch and the powerful. Father and I both think that if the powerful win, Dayu will be in danger of extinction. If we follow the powerful, we will eventually become slaves of a fallen country. Only by being loyal to the emperor can we hope to make our family prosperous."

"I once... was only concerned with the glory of the Xuan family. I went through so much trouble to return to Dayu, aiming for the position of future queen. Deputy Commander Liang should also know that at that time, did he despise me for overestimating my own capabilities and wanting more?"

The question was asked more and more frankly, but the Lord of Shenyuan Palace obviously did not care about other people's opinions. Now when she looked back at herself a year ago, she was naive and confused. She was at a loss at that time. Her obsession was only to protect the glory of the Xuan family, which had long been in name only. She regarded the marriage with the Sikong royal family as the only way to continue the dignity of the Shenzong imperial family. She was worried that she was a step too late. She also secretly regarded the Crown Princess as her opponent. She thought she was determined in her goal, but she was ashamed of herself all the time.

Secretly, I also criticize myself.

There was clearly someone already living in her heart, but she insisted on taking away someone else's love. Having such a dirty mind has brought shame to her family name.

"I just think that you are not suitable for the palace."

"I was so stupid."

"Women in the palace have the hardest lives in the world. You don't know how cruel a person's heart can be when it is devoured by obsession and desire. And although you are of noble status, you have lost the support of your family. The imperial family is a tomb of love and loyalty. Only those with extremely strong wills can escape from this tomb of love and loyalty. Your heart is untainted and unmoved by conspiracy, but it is easy to be hurt by conspiracy."

The imperial family is a place of love and friendship.

These six words are deafening.

The endgame in front of her was finally set, black and white were clearly divided, and the confrontation was indifferent. She was still undecided. After a long time, she asked again: "Then in Deputy Leader Liang's opinion, will Gui Sujun eventually let down Deputy Envoy Zuo?"

"I don't know." Liang Hui said frankly: "I have never been close to Gui Sujun, and I can't predict how Gui Sujun will choose when he really faces the choice between power and friendship. I only know that among the many noble families, not many people are lucky enough to choose their own destiny. Deputy Envoy Zuo had the opportunity to choose, but she chose to enter the palace early."

The left deputy envoy suddenly felt his nose itchy again. He rubbed his nose quietly while drinking tea with his sleeve covering his face. He faced the uninvited guest calmly and smiled slightly: "I haven't seen Miss Gao for a long time."

The royal family of Northern Han was quite cautious about conferring titles of kings, and only the princes were conferred the title of princes. For example, Jiang Baiji, although he was Jiang Xiongying's younger brother, was only conferred the title of Duke. Yingshu guessed that it was probably because Jiang Xiongying's Khanship was derived from the ancestral system of "the succession from the younger brother to the younger brother", so he was unwilling to confer the title of princes on his brothers. After Jiang Tai seized the throne, he had no excuse or reason to demote his brothers who had already been conferred the title of princes. Even Jiang Mo was only demoted from crown prince to prince.

Yingshu had already found out from the side that with Gao's background, she was very qualified to marry a prince as his principal wife in Northern Zhao. She had to marry to Northern Han because she had no choice - Gao's eldest sister was a concubine of the Northern Zhao emperor and had a prince. She must have thought that the mother would be honored by her son, so there was no need for her sister to marry a prince. Marrying into a Northern Han noble was actually a blatant act of spies.

Yingshu didn't know whether Gao was really willing to be used by the family, but it was obvious that as long as the Gao family remained powerful in Northern Zhao, Jiang Baiji would have to love his wife. Although Gao married far away in a foreign country, her relationship with her natal family was extremely close.

"I came to see the Left Deputy Envoy today because I have something to ask for." Gao stood up and bowed.

Ying Shu also stood up immediately to help: "All the way from Hanzhong to Dajing, thanks to Lady Gao's care, I really don't want to accept your gift, but... your status in your country is so noble, I'm afraid it's difficult for me to help you."

"Only Deputy Envoy Zuo can help with this." Gao didn't insist on asking for big gifts, but she refused to sit down.

Yingshu had no choice but to stand with her.

Madam Wei advised, "Even if you are anxious, you should not stand and talk. You should sit down and talk in detail."

Yingshu was able to sit down again and listen attentively to what Gao had to ask. She really didn't expect that Gao would start by complaining about Xiping.

"Lina's temperament has been arrogant for more than just one or two days. Deputy Envoy Zuo didn't know that three years ago, an envoy from Luoyang came to visit. The main envoy was King Sanchuan. There was an official in the palace of King Sanchuan who was highly regarded by King Sanchuan and was appointed as the Chief Clerk. His surname was Zhou, and this Chief Clerk Zhou was a Han Chinese...Clerk Zhou was polite and courteous to others, but Lina misunderstood that he was interested in her and insisted on keeping him.

The Princess of Sanchuan had a younger sister who was born out of wedlock and was also in love with Zhou Changshi. They had already been engaged, so how could Zhou Changshi break off the engagement? Therefore, she politely declined, and the Prince of Sanchuan explained the whole story. However, Lina spoke rudely in front of the Prince of Sanchuan, saying that she was a princess, and Zhou Changshi's fiancée was born out of wedlock, and her status was not as noble as hers, so she was only fit to be Zhou Changshi's concubine."

Yingshu was completely confused after hearing this.

"Princess Sanchuan's family is also a noble family of the Great Zhao, so the princess has a bad temper. In addition, Princess Sanchuan's father... is also in charge of the Supervisory Department. Therefore, regarding the assassination of Lina, it may not be because of the intention to frame the Left Deputy Envoy. These inspectors in the capital city have no intention of taking Lina's life. They just want to let her suffer humiliation. Most likely, Princess Sanchuan wants to vent her anger and teach Lina a lesson.

However, now that the Xiuyaosi has made such a judgment, it has become the intention of the Great Zhao to alienate the relationship between Yu and Han. In this case, Queen Mother Yao will not let it go, whether for public or private reasons, unless the Left Deputy Envoy is willing to plead for her. I know that this will make the Left Deputy Envoy embarrassed, but there is one thing. When Dongyu was defeated, Gong Xianglu insisted on demanding the entire Wang family of Linyi as slaves. In the end, it was because the King of Sanchuan came forward to refute that Your Majesty did not accept Gong Xianglu's advice. "

Gao is taking advantage of Yingshu's young age and ignorance.

When Dayu was defeated in the war and had to ask for peace, Northern Zhao did propose a clause that the entire family of King Linyi would be enslaved and turned into bandits. It was also true that Gong Xianglu was instigated by his favorite concubine Zeng to advise the Emperor of Northern Zhao. However, it was impossible for the Emperor of Dayu to agree to Northern Zhao's unreasonable demands. In addition, the aristocratic families of Chenjun Xie, Jiangdong Lu and so on also supported the monarch's proposition. The emperor of Northern Zhao would not give up more clauses that were of great benefit to Northern Zhao just because this proposal was rejected. It is possible that Gong Xianglu's political enemies in the court of Northern Zhao took the opportunity to impeach Gong Xianglu for putting personal interests above public interest. But even Gong Xianglu could not control the life and death of King Linyi. What kind of favor could Northern Zhao's people like King Sanchuan do to the Wang family of Linyi?

Ying Shu did not argue with Gao, but just sighed: "If I was frightened, I would have the right to forgive the person who frightened me, but now the one who was almost assassinated was Xiping tyrant, how can I be qualified to plead for the assassin who assassinated tyrant? Not to mention that as an envoy of Dayu, I should not interfere in the state affairs of Northern Han."

"Madam, this is indeed putting Deputy Envoy Zuo in a difficult position." Madam Wei saw the opportunity to interrupt.

In fact, Gao had no intention of really convincing Yingshu to intercede for the spy of Northern Zhao. She was trying to test him in another way: "Even Madam Wei said so. I am even more ashamed. Forget it. Just pretend that I didn't mention that because I was confused. But Deputy Envoy Zuo, you must not misunderstand that Great Zhao wants to prevent diplomatic relations between Henan and Han. Although there are frictions between Great Zhao and your country, we have now truly formed a good relationship with your country.

My husband and I, under the order of His Majesty, went to Hanzhong in person to welcome the distinguished envoy. Originally, nothing went wrong. However, during the annual prayer ceremony, the Spirit Pagoda was burned down for no reason, causing people in the city to question whether the identity of the Palace Master was a fake. Now, another accident has happened, and it seems that even the Great Zhao has been affected.

I am really worried about more than just these two incidents. A little while ago, I heard from Madam Wei that the Left Vice Envoy had taken all necessary precautions to prevent the precious jade from being robbed, but I still feel nervous. "

Fat-refined jade has become a rare treasure that many people are determined to obtain.

"Don't worry, Lady. Zhigui is the only token that can prove that the prince is the prince. Only when the prince's identity is confirmed can the peace talks be successfully concluded. I have an important task on my shoulders, so I naturally dare not take it lightly. And I trust Madam Wei's words. At least the Queen of Northern Han will not allow those with ulterior motives to undermine the peace talks."

Queen? Why did Wang Yingshu mention Queen Wu?

Gao's face changed, but Madam Wei interrupted first: "Deputy Envoy Zuo trusts me, but I can't guarantee that I can protect her. Only Her Majesty the Queen has such great ability and the courage to take responsibility."

Gao was full of doubts. After leaving Baoguang Palace, she heard Madam Wei explain again: "I did ask the Left Deputy Envoy to hand over the Zhigui to Her Majesty the Queen for safekeeping, but the Zhigui that the Left Deputy Envoy handed over to me is just an ordinary red jade. If you don't believe it, I can give it to you. You can verify it yourself. Let alone soaking it in the spring water for three days, even if it is soaked for three to five years, it is impossible to emit the light of the bright moon."

Gao listened to the words, but that was all she listened to.

When Gao returned home that day, before she had time to change into her regular clothes, Jiang Baiji came in a hurry after hearing the news. They were already an old couple. Although Gao's position as the Prince of Jincheng was as stable as a rock, she could not avoid being "alone in an empty room" for several years. She felt that she had a quiet life and did not mind Jiang Baiji often staying in the concubine's room. Her life was smooth. Seeing Jiang Baiji coming, she was not overjoyed. Without waiting for Jiang Baiji to ask, she told her Madam Wei's intention truthfully. Of course, Madam Wei had no right to tell her how to behave. Everyone knew who was using Madam Wei's mouth and tongue.

"Your Majesty is forced to do so." Jiang Baiji said.

Gao remained calm: "Wei has made it very clear today. I don't blame Your Majesty, I just blame the Queen Mother and Lina for not knowing the big picture. Well, I have been married to the Jiang family for many years. Can I still only care about the interests of my homeland? My husband doesn't need to convince me. I will write a letter to my father and brother, begging them to do their best to change the situation."

Only the spy agency was damaged, which was not a serious blow to Great Zhao, and there was no need to turn against Northern Han. However, Gao Clan must find out whether Jiang Tai was really determined to destroy the banner of the descendants of Emperor Shenzong, and what was the whereabouts of the precious jade!

She had to gain Madam Wei's trust first, and she must not let Jiang Baiji realize that she was suspicious.
