Chapter 322: The Marriage Continues
"What do they want to do? They won't be so stupid as to create poisonous people together with the Miao people and harm their compatriots, right?" Yu Jiuer looked worried.
Jun Mo shook his head and said, "They didn't create a Gu person, they just united with the Miao forces to get rid of me!"
Shang Buqun sneered sarcastically: "And you, a gentleman and righteous prince, still have mercy in your heart and want to let them go temporarily?"
"I just don't want to get entangled with them too much in Miao territory, so that the Miao people can take advantage of the situation and sneak in!"
Shang Buqun sneered, "Ha! Do you think if you let them go, they will let you go? If they hadn't designed to lock me up this time, we wouldn't have been delayed for so long to come back, and Princess Eight and Jiu'er would have been almost humiliated!"
When Jun Mo mentioned this, his expression became stern: "I did have a lot of concerns before. If they still insist on not changing their ways, I will not show mercy anymore!"
Yu Jiuer then asked: "Where is the antidote for the poison? Have you found it?"
"Nothing was found!" Jun Mo continued with a cold look on his face, "I have already sent a letter to my father, asking him to send troops to reinforce the Miao border. With the Gu people incident and the failed marriage, the superficial peace between the Great Dong Dynasty and the Miao border is likely to collapse."
"Didn't the prince have a lot of personal soldiers on the Miao border? How come they didn't find the Gu man?" Yu Jiuer asked.
Shang Buqun answered for Jun Mo: "We have investigated in the past few days. These Gu people have always existed, but most of them are in Miaojiang, and there are occasionally a few in the Great Dong Dynasty. If you hadn't provoked the bully alliance in the border town this time and forced them to take the risk and summon all the Gu people in the border town, I'm afraid we would still be kept in the dark!"
Yu Jiuer touched her face and said shamelessly: "It seems that my face is still useful. At least it has attracted a bunch of bad apples and exposed the conspiracy of Miaojiang!"
As she spoke, she turned around and joked with the Eighth Princess, "Eighth Princess, let's hang out outside more often in the future and use our beauty to break the enemy's plot!"
The Eighth Princess burst into laughter and said, "I'll do as you say!"
With this smile, the depression in my heart suddenly untied and I felt much more refreshed.
Jun Mo ordered with an unhappy look on his face: "During this period of time, you two stay in this courtyard obediently for me. The Prime Minister and I still have to continue looking for the antidote and deal with the eldest brother and the fifth brother. You'd better not make trouble!"
Yu Jiuer curled her lips and said nothing more, while the Eighth Princess nodded obediently.
Half a month later.
Jun Mo returned with the emperor's pigeon letter and said to the Eighth Princess, "Father said he also received a pigeon letter from the Miaojiang King. In the letter, the Miaojiang King mentioned that he sincerely wanted to marry you, but the Sixth Prince was unlucky and died of illness last month. The Miaojiang King reluctantly put aside the secular world and married you for the sake of the alliance!
My father also said that the Miaojiang King cherishes the peace between the two countries and is willing to continue the alliance and marriage between the two countries! "
Yu Jiuer laughed angrily when she heard this, "The Miao King is probably suffering from Alzheimer's disease, right? He let his guards insult us a while ago, and now he has the nerve to say that he cherishes the peace between the two countries? What a shameless old man!"
Jun Mo frowned and said, "Now both sides have their own opinions. Father doesn't completely believe him, nor does he completely believe us. Father asked Min'er what she thought. If she is willing to marry the Miaojiang King, that would be the best. If not, father will write a letter to negotiate with the Miaojiang King and let you be the second wife of the Miaojiang eldest prince.
In short, the marriage should continue! Min'er, what do you think? "
The Eighth Princess bit her lower lip with a troubled look on her face, and then said with a trembling voice: "If it is beneficial to the peace between the two countries, then I..."
She paused, her hand holding the teacup shaking so violently that she almost spilled the tea in it, her eyes filled with fear and helplessness.
Shang Buqun couldn't stand it anymore and angrily scolded Jun Mo: "She is your sister after all, can you not scare her? Look how scared she is!"
Before Jun Mo could speak, Yu Jiuer spoke first, "That old man from Miaojiang can't even think of marrying the Eighth Princess. The eldest prince from Miaojiang is nearly middle-aged, so it's not possible either! Does our beautiful and delicate Eighth Princess have to marry an old man who is so much older than her?"
Yu Jiuer was upset, so she walked over and lifted up the Eighth Princess' chin, and continued,
"Look at this little face, it's so pink and tender, and beautiful like a flower, even prettier than her fourth brother."
At this point, Jun Mo coughed twice in disapproval: "Ahem!"
Yu Jiuer turned to Jun Mo and said, "Do you think you are prettier than the Eighth Princess?"
Jun Mo said seriously: "Be serious!"
After he scolded her, Yu Jiuer got back to the point and said, "My main point is that such a beautiful girl cannot die in Miaojiang! The Miaojiang King clearly holds a grudge against the Great Dong Dynasty, and you still want the Eighth Princess to marry him. Isn't that like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth?"
"I just want to ask Min'er's wishes!" Jun Mo said to the Eighth Princess in a gentle tone.
"Min'er, Fourth Brother will not let you marry into the Miaojiang royal family. However, in order to stabilize the Miaojiang King, we must first agree to the marriage to deceive him and then take advantage of the situation!"
With Jun Mo's words, the Eighth Princess finally breathed a sigh of relief and pulled the corners of her mouth to reveal a slight smile.
But at this moment, Zhang Yun came in with a letter in his hand, and knelt down in front of Yu Jiuer with a plop: "Zhang Yun apologizes to Princess Jing! I was forced to press your acupoints before, it was my fault, you can punish me however you want!"
"Zhang Yun, you've been hiding for more than half a month and you're finally willing to show up?" Yu Jiuer saw that he was sincere in admitting his mistakes and waved her hand.
"In fact, even if you didn't press my acupoints that day, I wouldn't have had much of a chance of winning if I had started a fight on the spot. It would have only made the Miaojiang King break up with us sooner. You accidentally bought time for me and the Eighth Princess, and waited for the prince and the prime minister to come to rescue us. So let's say our merits and demerits offset each other!"
"Thank you Princess Jing for your understanding!"
"But don't be too happy too soon. Pressing my acupuncture points is disrespectful. Don't do it again!"
"Yes!" Zhang Yun kowtowed to her respectfully, then stood up and handed the letter in his hand to the Eighth Princess, "Eighth Princess, I will also send a pigeon back to report everything here to grandfather. This is the letter from grandfather and aunt!"
The eighth princess took the letter from home, unfolded it and read it. Her face turned pale and she was stunned for a long time without moving.
Yu Jiuer took the letter out of curiosity and read it. Then she angrily threw the letter at Zhang Yun's face and said with gritted teeth: "I changed my mind. None of you Zhang family members are good people. I shouldn't have forgiven you! I will break your legs, you selfish traitor who can't tell right from wrong!"
Shang Buqun picked up the family letter on the ground curiously and read it, then he was also angry: "You, the Zhang family, actually persuaded the Eighth Princess to marry an old man over fifty years old for your own selfish reasons? You also scolded the Eighth Princess for being ignorant and not considering the family?
How dare you ask her to sacrifice herself for your Zhang family? Your aunt is unworthy of being a mother, and your grandfather is also an old fool! "
Upon hearing this, Jun Mo threw the teacup in his hand at Zhang Yun's feet with a gloomy expression.
Yu Jiuer kicked Zhang Yun in anger and said, "Your Zhang family really makes the Eighth Princess feel disappointed! Hasn't she used her privileges as a princess to help your Zhang family enough over the years? Are you vampires? Are you going to suck her blood dry?"
Zhang Yu was so frightened when he saw this that he dared not say a word. He just kept winking at the Eighth Princess, hoping that the Eighth Princess would say something good for Zhang Yun.
The poor Eighth Princess was disheartened and laughed coldly, "I thought that my grandfather's family at least cared about me, but in the end, I failed to marry and you scolded me like a dog.
I used to listen to you all because I cared about family ties and regarded you as my closest relatives. There are many brothers and sisters in the palace, but few of them treat each other sincerely. I had no choice but to put all my love in the Zhang family, but who would have thought that I would become an ungrateful person after a failed marriage? "
The eighth princess was crying and laughing at the same time, with a look of deep sorrow that made people feel extremely distressed.
Yu Jiuer ran up and hugged her: "Eighth Princess, don't be sad for someone who is not worth it. You still have us. We are all on your side. We will definitely oppose this marriage!"
