Yuwen Xiao replied with a perfunctory "Oh", obviously not putting the topic of "defense" on his mind. His black eyes turned around and changed the topic, "There's one more thing that I have been very curious about. Princess, you are not the sister of His Majesty the Emperor, but a princess of the Qishan Mansion. However, as soon as I entered the city, I heard that King Qishan intended to rebel and that the entire Qishan clan was punished. May I know why the princess isn't involved? And why are you willing to marry into a small country thousands of miles away? "
When Xiao Ruyue heard this, her eyes instantly turned cold, but quickly returned to normal. She met Yuwen Xiao's gaze, and said gently: "The evidence of the King Qishan's plot is conclusive, so His Majesty's actions are reasonable and lawful according to the nation's laws. I am from the East Mausoleum's imperial clan, and am the grandson of the previous emperor like the East Mausoleum's emperor. As for the general asking me why I'm willing to marry thousands of miles away?
"Oh, so it turns out that the king of the Western Xia sought my brother out because of his deep love for me."
At this time, the common folk of the capital had long forgotten the chaos that had occurred in the Qi Shan Mansion half a month ago. Since ancient times, the victors have always been the kings and the losers the bandits. Who would still remember those criminals who were sentenced to death in prison?
Inside the carriage, Xiao Ruyue listened to the "Princess Wuyou" outside, lazily leaned on the cushions, a smile that was not a smile on her face, but not too happy or depressed.
This country was foreign to her, just like she said to Situ Chen, she had nothing to stay for.
Xiao Ruyue fiddled with the bamboo tube that contained the letter of credence. Inside was the crux of the relationship between the two countries, and it was just as important as her marriage to the Western Xia Princess Dongling.
In her previous life, as a citizen of the Western Xia State, she was from East Mausoleum. No matter what angle she was from, she did not want the innocent people to suffer under the flames of war. She would be happy to do whatever she could for the people.
I wonder how those old friends of Da Xia Empire are doing now.
It had already been five years since she died in her previous life. In addition to that, that person didn't look like a human or a ghost, which added up to exactly ten years. Yuwen Chenglian, Yao Ziyan, I have not seen each other for ten years, and now I am completely unrecognizable, I guess you two probably don't recognize me anymore?
A blood debt would not be forgotten by time.
