When Chu Wan learned that she might have to marry into Northern Qi, she felt like the sky was falling.

She packed her bags overnight and prepared to escape from the palace.

She is going to Liping to find her fifth brother and sister Cheng.

But as soon as he left Yongle Palace, he was caught and brought back.

"Third brother, I don't want to go to Northern Qi! I am your biological sister! Can you bear to let me go to Northern Qi and die in a foreign land like my fourth sister?" Looking at Chu Ze in front of her, Chu Wan was sad and angry and yelled loudly.

Chu Ze said with a sullen face: "Yongle, you can't be so willful. As a royal princess, you enjoy all the wealth and splendor, so you have to shoulder your responsibilities."

"What responsibility? Is it a marriage?"

"Marriage can bring peace to the two countries and allow the people to live and work in peace. This is your responsibility. Besides, Qi Zhen is a handsome man. Your fourth sister died of illness. Look, isn't the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion alive and well?"

"I don't want it, I don't want it, I just don't want it! It's your responsibility to protect the people, and you can't do it yourself, but you want to sacrifice me to achieve your goal. If my father and my fifth brother were here, I would never agree to Northern Qi! I don't want to be a princess anymore, I want to go to Liping to find my fifth brother!"

Chu Ze's face completely sank.

To Chu Ze, this meant that he was not as good as Chu Heng.

He raised his hand and slapped Chu Wan rudely.

The loud slap made Chu Wan stunned, and the pain on her face reminded her that she was beaten.

She had never been beaten since she was a child.

"Just stay here and be quiet. Your fifth brother can't save you!" After saying that, Chu Ze turned around and left Yongle Palace.

Outside the Yongle Palace, Concubine Chun was stopped by a eunuch.

Seeing Chu Ze coming out, he immediately stepped forward and asked: "Your Majesty..."

Chu Ze snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves and left.

Concubine Chun felt something was wrong and went in quickly.

"Wan'er?"

Chu Wan covered her face with her hands, and as soon as she saw her mother, she immediately burst into tears out of grievance.

"Mother, he beat me! He wants to marry me to Northern Qi, wuwuwu..."

"Mother, I miss my father and my fifth brother so much! If they were here, they would never let me suffer such an injustice..."

Looking at the red slap marks on her daughter's face, Concubine Chun felt pain in her heart.

"Don't cry, don't cry, it's okay, it's okay. The emperor hasn't officially ordered the marriage yet. Mother will go and ask the queen mother for help."

In the next few days, Concubine Chun often went to Ningshou Palace. But I don't know if Shangguan Huan had something to hide, so she didn't see her again.

More and more ministers of the previous dynasty supported the marriage.

It's not their daughter who is being married off, but just a princess. If it can bring peace between the two countries and allow them to continue to enjoy themselves, they naturally agree to the marriage.

They all talked about righteousness and used responsibility to kidnap ministers who opposed the marriage.

Chu Ze also agreed to the marriage.

After all, his number one enemy is Chu Heng. If there is to be a war, he would rather fight with Chu Heng.

After hearing the news from the eunuch, Concubine Chun took several steps back with a pale face before she could steady herself. She closed her eyes in despair.

When she opened her eyes again, there was a look of determination on her face.

She sent someone to secretly contact Su Ming, Marquis of Zhaoxin.

Chu Wan was tired of crying and fell asleep on the bed.

When Concubine Chun came in, she saw her daughter frowning in her sleep with tears in the corners of her eyes.

She touched her daughter's face lovingly.

Chu Wan woke up with a start and found that it was her mother.

She went into her mother's arms and rubbed against her coquettishly.

"Mother concubine~"

Concubine Chun took off her shoes, went to bed and held her daughter like a child: "Did you have a nightmare?"

"Yeah." Chu Wan replied in a muffled voice.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Mother is here with you. Go to sleep."

Chu Wan closed her eyes, smelled the fragrance of her mother, and felt so sad that she wanted to cry.

"Mother, I miss my father, my brother, and my grandparents so much..."

The imperial brother she was referring to was Chu Heng. Ever since Chu Ze slapped her, she no longer called Chu Ze imperial brother, but called him the emperor.

"Mother also wants to..."

"If Mother sends you away..."

Unexpectedly, Chu Wan shook her head and said, "My daughter cannot leave. If she leaves, they will embarrass mother. My daughter was willful the past few days."

Tears glistened in Concubine Chun's eyes.

For several days in a row, Concubine Chun would go to Yongle Palace to accompany her, telling others that she was there to persuade the princess.

That night, Concubine Chun came as usual.

Mother and daughter lay side by side on the bed.

"Mother, the New Year is coming soon. Last year, my father, my brother, my grandparents, and Zhu Jin and Yan Yu were all here. The sky was filled with fireworks. It was so beautiful. At the time, I thought it was just an ordinary event..."

As Chu Wan was talking, she felt sleepy. After a while, only the sound of steady breathing remained.

At this time, two tall maids came in, and their voices were men's.

"My lady, everything outside has been arranged."

Concubine Chun turned over and said coldly, "Take the princess and go."

"Yes!"

One of them picked up the unconscious Chu Wan and turned away.

Concubine Chun looked at the direction her daughter left, tears rolling down her cheeks.

The justice of the country and the people of the world, to her, are not as important as her daughter's smile.

She just wants her daughter to live happily.

In the silent night, a carriage quickly left the city.

Su Nan looked at the carriage and remembered that he had let Cheng Jiuyuan and the others leave in the same way a long time ago.

If Chu Wan leaves, Northern Qi will be unhappy and may attack Dongling.

He didn't know whether this was right or not, but for the sake of his classmates, he didn't want to watch Chu Wan get married.

He felt that one marriage was enough, and sending another princess over was simply cowardly.

He would rather go to the battlefield!

If a war breaks out, he will be the first to go to the battlefield!
