The daughter of a general is reborn to save the whole family of the marquis

Doctor Chen's blood splattered on the spot, which really surprised her, but also excited her. Power has never been about treating people to a meal, but about bloodshed.

After Chu Runxue left the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion, the news that Doctor Chen was killed by Chu Yu in a rage spread.

As Chu Yan's future brother-in-law, Dongfang Shuo came to visit Chu Runxue and comfort her frightened heart.

The two of them talked in the room and sent everyone away, leaving only the personal guards and maids guarding outside the door.

Chu Runxue said in a low voice: "The ones besieging him were ferocious beasts. Ferocious beasts are absolutely ruthless. He was lucky to be rescued alive and only lost his legs."

"Xue'er, this move of yours is really brilliant. We don't even have to do anything. Chu Yu has been defeated. From now on, he will never be able to go to the battlefield again. The Chu family is completely empty."

Dongfang Shuo held her hand, with a smile on his face. He had finally avenged himself for being beaten with fifty sticks.

He knew that choosing Chu Runxue was absolutely the right choice!

"You took Doctor Chen in, did you see his legs?"

Chu Runxue shook her head: "I haven't seen it, but it must be true. Although my brother is ruthless in the battlefield and has killed countless people, he is always gentle and elegant at home in Shengjing City. If he wasn't in extreme pain, he would never smash the bowl of porridge handed to him by Heyi. It is even more impossible for him to kill Doctor Chen in front of me and Heyi!"

It was the death of Doctor Chen that made her certain that Chu Ni's legs were completely disabled and there was no way it could be false.

Dongfang Shuo said "hmm", his eyes full of determination.

From now on, the northern border and the 300,000 soldiers in the northern border will all belong to him. With the power of 300,000 soldiers and military merits, is he still afraid that he has no hope of winning the throne?

The two of them kept the important words in their hearts and did not say them out loud.

All Dongfang Shuo said was: "General Chu has lost his legs. As his sister, you must not be too sad, lest you hurt yourself. General Chu still needs your encouragement and company."

Chu Runxue nodded with tears in her eyes: "Your Highness is right, I will be strong."

"When General Chu feels better, I will come to visit him. I won't bother him now."

"Thank you for your consideration, Your Highness." Chu Runxue saw Dongfang Shuo off, and the two said goodbye reluctantly.

In the eyes of others, they only felt that the two of them had deep feelings for Chu Ni and were so sad about Chu Ni's injury.

But after getting on the carriage, Dongfang Shuo couldn't stop smiling, and he even laughed out loud. However, his laughter was drowned out by the sound of the wheels rolling, and no one heard it.

The news that Chu Yi had lost his legs spread to the northern border at the fastest speed. In an instant, people living in the northern border felt as if the sky had fallen.

At the same time, news soon came from the northern border that the Northern Zhou Dynasty had assembled a large army and was preparing to break through Changqing City and attack Daqi.

The ministers argued in the court for more than three days about this matter, but they were unable to decide on a suitable candidate to guard the northern border.

The Chu family is not the only family with talented generals in Daqi, but Daqi needs to guard more than just the northern border, so there are not enough talented generals to distribute to various places.

The remaining officials in the capital were either civil servants, old generals who had retired due to injuries, or those who had no practical combat experience.

Therefore, when the Chu carriage encountered problems and the Northern Zhou launched a massive invasion, the emperor was unable to find an outstanding talent to go to the northern border.

Just when the court officials were arguing and the emperor was having a headache, Prime Minister Zheng Wenkang stood up.

"Your Majesty, looking at Daqi, the people who are most familiar with Changqing City in the northern border are none other than the Chu family. Although General Chu's legs are disabled and he can no longer go to the battlefield, the Chu family is not just General Chu."

Yu Zijin, the Minister of Personnel, said, "Everyone knows that General Chu's two legitimate sons have died on the battlefield. The fourth son of Chu who stayed in Shengjing City, although he lived in the northern border for a period of time, has no intention of fighting on the battlefield. Who does the Prime Minister want to send to the battlefield? The illegitimate sons who have not yet come of age, or the frail girls?"

Zheng Wenkang sneered: "Master Yu, can you provide a more suitable candidate?"

Yu Zijin was choked, and after a while he said: "The Northern Zhou invaded in a big way, and General Chu lost his legs. I think the morale of the soldiers in the northern border is low. It is not appropriate to fight head-on at this time. I am afraid that it will anger the Northern Zhou soldiers and more people will be killed.

"Perhaps we can marry the princess to them as we did to the Western Rong, thus avoiding war between the two sides, preventing rivers of blood from flowing on the border, and preventing the people from being separated from their wives and children and their families from being destroyed."

Princess!

The princess is being sent to marry again!

The emperor was extremely angry. He gave away the princess, but it was Daqi who lost face! It was Daqi's dignity that was trampled upon!

The emperor did not agree.

However, the emperor did not refuse.

The emperor asked everyone to continue to think of ways to select suitable talents to guard the northern border. But everyone also knew that if there was really no suitable talent in the end, the only option was to let the princess marry.

Not long after the morning court was over, the news reached the harem. Now, there were only two princesses who had reached the marriageable age.

One was Princess Pingyang, the daughter of the Empress Dowager, and the other was Princess Anding, the daughter of Concubine Xie.

When Princess Anding heard the news, she was so shocked that the rouge in her hand fell to the ground, and she felt like she was struck by lightning.

Nanny Li, who was serving her, blurted out: "Princess Pingyang is the legitimate daughter of the Empress. If the Emperor really wants to choose, he will definitely not choose Princess Pingyang. Then the only princess sent to marry will be you..."

Princess Anding burst into tears: "Mammy, I heard that the people of Northern Zhou are very cruel and brutal. I don't want to marry, and I don't want to leave Shengjing City. What should I do?"

Nanny Li hugged her lovingly and stroked her head: "Don't be afraid, Princess. There will always be a way."

"What can I do? My mother's status is not comparable to that of the Queen, so how can I be compared with Sister Pingyang? Father will definitely not be willing to send Sister Pingyang away..."

The more Princess Anding spoke, the harder she cried.

Nanny Li also felt distressed: "Princess, would you like to... go to the Xie family to ask Third Master for help to find a solution? Third Master Xie is so smart. If he helps, maybe the princess won't have to be sent to marry."

Uncle?

Yes, her uncle is well-read and extremely smart. He must have a way to prevent her from marrying off!

"Mammy, go get ready. We are leaving the palace now and going to my grandparents' house. Just tell them... just tell them that my cousin got beaten and I am worried about him, so I am going to go see him."

"I will arrange it right away." Nanny Li immediately went to find Concubine Xie.

Concubine Xie had also heard that Daqi might send the princess to marry in Northern Zhou, and she immediately thought of her daughter.

The princesses' marriage can indeed bring peace to Daqi, but after they are married, they can never return to their homeland in this lifetime.

She only has this one daughter, so naturally she is reluctant to let her go to marry. If she could go to her maternal grandparents' home to find a solution, perhaps the situation could turn around.

So, Concubine Xie took the initiative to bring Princess Anding to ask the emperor for help, but she only asked Princess Anding to visit her cousin Xie Shaobai.

The emperor thought that perhaps in the near future, his princess would be sent to Northern Zhou, so it would be okay to let her go to her maternal grandparents' home again. Perhaps it would be her last time to go there.

The emperor agreed.

Lady Xie escorted Princess Anding to the palace gate and told her, "Your uncle was born weak, so don't bother him too much when he arrives at the Xie family. But your eldest cousin was beaten a hundred times, so you should take care of him."

"Yes, mother." Princess Anding agreed, but she felt uncomfortable.

Does her mother want her to go to Xie's house and get engaged to her cousin so as to avoid going to Northern Zhou for marriage?

When she arrived at Xie's house, Princess Anding, out of courtesy and her affection for Xie Shaobai as her cousin, went to Xie Shaobai's room and talked with him for the whole afternoon.

At night, she took the ginseng soup that Li Ma had prepared in advance and went to Xie Lin's yard.
