The Crybaby Prince is Reborn, Where is the Prince Going?

Chapter 54 I also have my own glory

"It seems you remembered?" The teasing on Princess Wanqi's face almost turned into reality, and she looked at Mu Zhuojing with a half-smile.

"But Princess, compared to the Xiao family, Wanyan Yu is indeed the best candidate. If you can choose, I think Princess can choose Wanyan Yu as the first choice."

"Whether it's due to bloodline or family background, Wanyan Yu is the best candidate, but as a princess marrying into a foreign alliance, I never had a choice."

There were only two paths before Princess Wanqi: one was to marry the prince as a concubine, and the other was to enter the palace as a concubine.

But no matter which of these two choices you make, the final result will not be very good.

Princesses of foreign origin usually have a bad ending in history. If Yanzhi Kingdom is strong, she will feel better because of her mother's clan, but if Yanzhi is weak, then she can only survive in a foreign country by living a miserable life.

Mu Zhuojing remained silent for a moment. He was a warrior, a rough man, not very politically sensitive. But he was not only a minister of Yanzhi State, but also a general of Princess Wanqi's palace.

All he saw was Princess Wanqi's helplessness. He felt sorry for the princess, but he had no choice but to do nothing because he had no other choice.

"Princess...if, I mean if, now that no one knows your identity, can you please leave?"

Princess Wanqi smiled, knowing that he was sincerely considering her, but she was Yanzhi's princess, so this responsibility should be borne by her.

"I am the least favored princess. Marrying and sharing my father's worries is my natural duty. I am a princess, how can I leave?"

Princess Wanqi was smiling, but Mu Zhuojing could clearly see tears glistening in her eyes, and the tears were still hanging firmly in her eye sockets and spinning around.

"I was born a concubine, and my father disliked me, and my brothers and sisters hated me. More than a decade later, it's finally my turn to contribute to my father's kingdom. How could I retreat? General Mu, I have my own glory too!"

"Yes, I overstepped my bounds."

"Alright, don't mention this again. When the city gates open tomorrow, we'll go into the city. Let's get some rest."

"Yes. I'll take my leave."

"General Mu." Song Yi bowed towards Mu Zhuojing while holding the basin of water.

Mu Zhuojing nodded slightly and left the room, closing the door behind him.

"Princess, this inn is really too shabby. There's not even hot water. I'd better boil some hot water first."

Song Yi placed the basin on the shelf, wrung out the handkerchief and washed Princess Wanqi's face, puffing out her cheeks and complaining.

"Just bear with it, it will be fine tomorrow. I've suffered a lot for you following me, and I shouldn't have let you travel all the way with me."

"Princess, what are you talking about? I grew up with you, and I've been serving you for thirteen years. Wherever you go, I'm always there. How could I not follow you when you come to Xuanwu? Do you dislike me? Do you think I'm annoying you?"

There was a hint of tears in her voice when she spoke the praises, and she kept moving her hands even though she felt wronged.

"How could I dislike you? I just feel that life is getting harder and harder. Having you follow me would only make you suffer some grievances that you shouldn't have to endure."

Princess Wanqi frowned slightly, took Song Yi's hand and patted it gently, then sighed.

"Father has no legitimate princes, only two legitimate princesses, the eldest sister and the fifth sister. And the eldest sister is so outstanding. I think in the end, she will defy all odds and take the throne. Unlike me... I can only prove my worth through marriage."

When Songyi heard this, he became even sadder. He knelt beside Princess Wanqi and cried silently, his tears falling like little pearls from a broken string.

"How can the princess say such self-deprecating words? The princess is the best person in the world!"

Wanqi patted her head and said, "Don't kneel so often. You will no longer be my maidservant when we enter the capital tomorrow. You and I can call each other sisters and we will have each other as companions."

Song Yi nodded and then shook her head, "I am the princess's servant. No matter what my status is, I will always be with the princess."

Wanqi smiled and pulled her up, wiping Songyi's face with a handkerchief. "Don't cry, you've become like a kitten from crying."

"The princess is teasing this servant again."

"If you don't believe me, just look." Wanqi pointed at the bronze mirror. Song Yi looked in the direction and saw that there was indeed a scratch on her face. She didn't know when it was rubbed by dust and tears, leaving a muddy mark on her face. Didn't she look like a little cat?

Song Yi turned around and looked at Wan Qi with resentment. The two looked at each other and burst out laughing. Then they laughed uncontrollably, and their laughter like silver bells filled the entire room.

Mu Zhuojing was standing at the door and couldn't help but curl his lips and laugh when he heard the laughter in the room.

...

At the Regent's Palace, the shadow guards sent out have brought back Ying Shisan and the three dead bodies.

At this time, the moon was high in the sky and the palace was brightly lit.

Ying Shisan was seriously injured, with wounds of various sizes all over his body. The small wounds had already scabbed over, but the fatal wounds were on his back and neck. He was still breathing when he was brought back, but was in a state of shock. He was rushed to Qing Fei's yard, but it was still unknown whether he could be saved.

"Sir, Little Thirteen has been sent to Lord Qingfei's courtyard, but he's seriously injured, and Lord Qingfei can't guarantee he can be saved... When we found him, Little Thirteen was dragging two corpses, clinging to them tightly. We didn't dare delay and brought all three bodies back. They're currently in the dungeon."

Ying Qi pursed her lips, feeling a little embarrassed.

"If you have anything else to say, just say it." Jinyou took a sip of tea. The bitter taste of the tea leaves spread in his mouth, which made him feel refreshed.

Ying Qi looked up at Jin You, and with a determined heart, he said, "These corpses don't look like living people!"

"What?" Jinyou stood up suddenly, "What do you mean he's not alive?"

A corpse is a corpse, not a living person, but Jinyou understood that this was not what Yingqi meant.

"Your Highness, it would be better for you to go with me to take a look..." Although Jinyou is a child, he is the only person with decisions in the mansion, so it is better to let him take a look before making any plans.

Jinyou's curiosity was also aroused, and he followed Yingqi and his group to the dungeon.

The three dead bodies were placed on the wooden table without any cover, three of them placed next to each other.

The corpse was stripped naked, without a single piece of clothing on, and was very conspicuous in the light of the torch.

As soon as he entered the dungeon, Jinyou's attention was attracted by the three corpses. His eyes slowly widened, his pupils suddenly shrank, and his heart trembled.

"This...is this still a human being?"

It’s no wonder Jinyou was frightened. The shadow guards were all shocked when they first saw the three dead bodies, let alone a child who had rarely seen dead bodies.

"Sir, these three people, no, perhaps they can't even be called human. Look at certain parts of their bodies, their arms, legs, and chests. These vulnerable parts seem to no longer be flesh and blood."

On the three people's bodies, where their flesh was turned outward, one could clearly see that they were covered in iron armor!
