The daughter of a general is reborn to save the whole family of the marquis
Chapter 34: Backlash
Chu Heyi knew that in her previous life, her eldest brother really lost both legs. At that time, her father and brother requested to go to the battlefield, but they were not as calm as they were tonight.
Before Princess Anding jumped off the city wall, she said a lot of things that seemed to be praising the Chu family, but in fact she was flattering them.
Otherwise, the people around me tonight wouldn't have said such harsh words.
Even if the incident involving Princess Anding had not happened, her father and brother would have volunteered to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy. However, Princess Anding used this trick to force her father and brother to go to the battlefield to die!
The emperor smiled and said, "You are right. Princess Anding is willing to jump off a building for the country. This is truly commendable."
Princess Anding said, "Father, this is what I should do. I don't want any reward."
Chu Heyi said, "Princess Anding is devoted to the country and has reached the marriageable age. I propose that whoever kills the most heads among the soldiers who followed my father and brother to the battle this time should be awarded to Princess Anding as her husband. What do you think, Your Majesty?"
"The soldiers will surely fight even harder if they think that if they kill the most enemies, they will become Princess Anding's consort. This will help Princess Anding to sacrifice her life for her country tonight!"
Princess Anding turned pale.
Want her to marry a soldier?
What if the soldier is very old?
A face full of whiskers?
Or what if you come back with a disability when you kill the enemy?
Let her get married too?
She even looked down on Xie Shaobai, the eldest grandson of the Xie family, let alone a rough man who went into battle to kill the enemy?
The emperor thought that although the princess was of noble status, she should not be bad as the soldier who killed the most enemies in battle, so he said: "That makes sense, let's do it! Pass on my decree, the soldier who kills the most heads in this battle can marry Princess Anding."
Chu Heyi smiled sweetly, her eyebrows curved: "Congratulations, Princess."
Everyone bowed and congratulated him.
Princess Anding clenched her hands into fists in her wide sleeves. She was about to speak, but Chu Heyi deliberately took the lead.
"In addition, I think Princess Anding should swear an oath in public to encourage the soldiers of Daqi to move forward bravely and never retreat!"
The emperor said "Oh?" and became interested: "Tell me about it."
Chu Heyi said: "Princess Anding should stand on the city wall and swear in front of everyone that if my father and brother lead the troops to fight the enemy and are defeated this time, she will jump off the city wall and die for the country!"
The emperor and Princess Anding frowned at the same time, and the atmosphere around them suddenly became stagnant. The guards protecting the emperor had their hands on the hilts of their swords, ready to draw their swords at any time.
Princess Anding was of noble status, and Daqi had not yet been destroyed. Only she could say that she wanted to die for her country if defeated. How could others make such a request?
What's more, Chu Heyi is just a descendant of a military family, not a royal elder!
Of course, Chu Heyi was very keenly aware of the subtle changes in the atmosphere, but she took her time.
"The soldiers of Daqi knew that if they were defeated in this battle, Princess Anding would jump off the city wall. They would definitely feel sorry for it, and their morale would be greatly boosted, which would help them win the battle!
"What's more, Princess Anding was originally going to jump off the city wall to encourage everyone in Daqi. Now she is just swearing in front of everyone. Princess Anding will not refuse, right?"
Chu Heyi looked at Princess Anding eagerly, his eyes full of admiration.
——If I ask you to elevate yourself, then just stay on the platform!
Princess Anding bit her lower lip, with resentment in her eyes. When she saw everyone was looking at her, she quickly suppressed her resentment.
Although she was extremely reluctant, Princess Anding had to raise her chin and straighten her back: "Father, I think Miss Chu's suggestion is very good. I am willing to swear in public!"
Taking a deep breath, she walked to the tower, raised her hand and swore in front of everyone on and off the tower: "I, Princess Dongfang An of Daqi Anding, swear to the heavens: This time General Chu and his son will lead the troops to fight the enemy, and the soldier who kills the most enemies will become my consort. If we lose the battle, I will jump from here and walk into the underworld with all the dead soldiers, and I will not let you be alone! If you break this oath, you will be struck by lightning and die a miserable death!"
After she finished speaking, her heart trembled violently, and her hatred towards Chu Heyi reached its peak.
Chu Heyi raised her lips and smiled: "Princess Anding is worthy of being a role model for us women in Daqi! We must learn from Princess Anding in the future!"
Princess Anding said softly, "I just have my country in my heart."
"Princess Anding said it very well. We will all remember what the princess said tonight forever! Of course, I believe that our Daqi soldiers will also return victorious for the princess's life!"
The emperor also praised: "My son has done a great job."
Princess Anding said softly: "Thank you for the compliment, Father. This is what I should do."
"Were you injured when you jumped down just now? My son, please return to the palace and have a good rest."
"Yes, father." Princess Anding bowed and stepped back.
The emperor was about to return to the palace, and everyone knelt on both sides to see him off respectfully.
The emperor was in a good mood and took big and fast steps, but when he passed by Xie Lin, he suddenly stopped and the smile on his face disappeared in an instant.
"Keep your head up!"
Xie Lin frowned slightly, he sensed the pressure emanating from the emperor. Because he was born with a weak body, although the Xie family had been invited to the palace to attend banquets many times, he had never entered the palace.
Tonight is the first time the emperor sees him, why does he react like this?
Just as Xie Lin was about to look up, the Queen, who was following the Emperor, suddenly came up and blocked his way.
"Your Majesty, this man is Xie Lin, the head of the Xie family. He is the younger brother of Lady Xie. He was born weak, so he has never entered the palace. He is a man of outstanding appearance. It is normal for Your Majesty to want to take a closer look at him. However, it is even darker tonight and the dew is heavier. Your Majesty should not let him pass on his illness to you.
"If the emperor really wants to take a closer look at him, you can summon him to the palace in a few days when he is feeling better."
The emperor said, "Oh!" "If that's the case, then there's no need to look at her. No wonder she looks so familiar. I think she looks a bit like Concubine Xie."
Although the emperor spoke like this, the face of Concubine Xie did not flash through his mind. Instead, he remembered clearly the profile of Xie Lin when he lowered his head.
Since he was a member of the Xie family, it seemed unimportant, so the emperor let him pass through his mind.
The queen followed the emperor's footsteps and walked forward. When she turned the corner, she looked back and could no longer see Xie Lin, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
After the emperor and empress left, everyone went their separate ways.
On the way back to the palace, Princess Anding asked someone to stop the carriage, saying that she was going to urinate nearby, but in fact she was going to secretly meet Chu Runxue.
When Chu Runxue saw her, she congratulated her, "Congratulations, Princess, not only have you won the emperor's favor, but you have also won the favor of Mr. Xie Sanye."
Green eyes? Princess Anding thought of Xie Lin's expression at that time, which was calm and unmoved. She was not sure whether her uncle's opinion of her had changed.
But she was sure...
"You've forced me to choose my consort from among the soldiers! And you still say congratulations!"
When she left Xie's house, she was found by Chu Runxue, who gave her this plan.
"If the Chu family father and son lose this time, I will really have to die. You have hurt me so much!"
Chu Runxue chuckled, her eyebrows and eyes full of confidence: "Princess, please rest assured, the soldiers of Daqi will never lose this time, and the father and son of the Chu family will never win!"
