Chapter 301 You Don’t Want to Kill Me
"Princess Jing'an, do you want to go back to the frontier?"
Yan Chu looked over calmly.
Jing'an is like a puppet tonight.
The excitement tonight had nothing to do with her, and she didn't know why the Queen Mother wanted to see her and attend the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet.
At this moment, when the emperor asked a question, her heart tightened and she was almost instinctively afraid.
No one knew what the emperor said to her during the days of imprisonment.
To the point that she now feels like a helpless outcast who may be abandoned at any time and whose life is worthless.
So you want to go back to the frontier? She didn't even dare to say what was in her heart.
"Your Majesty, I just miss my husband and my children outside the Great Wall."
Can she still go back?
The emperor believed that she had kidnapped the queen mother and wanted to use the opportunity to threaten him. The emperor even knew the "ambitions" of the tribes outside the Great Wall.
How can she go back?
Just as the emperor said, with the limited military forces outside the Great Wall, if he leads the army in person, I'm afraid that the area outside the Great Wall will no longer exist.
"Since you miss me, I will choose a day and send someone to take you back personally."
"emperor……"
"Today, I will meet your warrior outside the Great Wall. I heard that he has been looking for your whereabouts in Kyoto."
Jing'an became nervous and was about to say something when he heard him say this again.
Haven't all the people from outside the Great Wall left Kyoto? How could there be any left?
Or was it that all the Anbu left behind by Hanshan were caught by the Emperor?
If that's the case, how can she sit still?
Then, two guards came in leading a tall man.
Although he was wearing Yan Dynasty clothing, his appearance and walking posture showed that he was from outside the Great Wall.
Jing'an also looked nervous and was observing very carefully.
"Cao Ying greets His Majesty, and meets the clan leader's wife."
He performed the etiquette of the outside world.
"Princess Jing'an has ever seen this person?"
Yan Chu's tone was a little cold, and the emotions in his eyes were even more unpredictable.
Jing'an didn't know how to answer the question.
She had heard of the name Cao Ying. He was Hanshan's personal director of the Shadow Department and also his confidant.
She had been outside the Great Wall for twenty years and had never seen this person.
But now that Hanshan has gone back, how could Cao Ying be here?
Is it an imposter?
But how could the emperor know about this person named Cao Ying?
Why would he need to find someone to impersonate him? What's the point?
Was this person sent by the emperor? If not him, then who was it? And what was his purpose?
"Why do you need to think so long about whether you know me or not?"
But it is impossible to give her time to think slowly.
"Your Majesty, there are many brave warriors outside the Great Wall, and I have not seen all of them."
"I have never appeared in front of you, Madam, so you naturally don't know, but I know everything about you, Madam."
The one called Cao Ying spoke seriously.
"I have been working for the clan leader long before my wife married and moved to the frontier. The reason why I stayed in Kyoto this time is to wait for news from my wife. The clan leader has been very worried about you."
"But I'm afraid he's almost outside the Great Wall now."
These words made Jing'an feel even more uncomfortable.
The emperor was right. Now she had no one to rely on in Kyoto, let alone any background. It was of no value to use her as a hostage.
Her husband is gone, who can she rely on?
The Queen Mother? She probably wished she would die sooner.
"Please don't blame me, Madam. The clan leader had no choice but to do so. He kept me here to give you and the emperor an explanation."
Cao Ying said calmly.
Then he suddenly knelt down, his tone sincere and firm.
"Please, Your Majesty, hand your wife over to me. She is now the wife of the Saiwai. She is very important to us in the Saiwai."
Jing'an was feeling anxious.
Although I still have doubts about the person in front of me, it is better to go out than stay here.
No matter where I go, it's much better than being imprisoned by the emperor.
She couldn't sit still anymore and wanted to stand up and beg for mercy.
She confessed, she admitted her mistakes, she was willing to submit as long as she could leave here, away from the deep palace.
"Your Majesty, no matter what happened in the past, it is all in the past. Jing'an has married and moved to the frontier, has a husband and a child, how can a woman leave her child? You should let her go back."
Before she even opened her mouth, the Queen Mother began to plead for her in very sincere terms.
The impulsive Jing'an calmed down a little.
After this kidnapping, the Queen Mother and she had become enemies.
How could she really help me?
And today, she asked the emperor to let her attend the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet?
Could it be that this person was arranged by her?
Then you must not follow.
"Your Majesty, I am guilty..."
Without waiting for the emperor to speak, she knelt down and began to recount her crimes in tears.
Unfilial to his mother, unjust to his brothers, cold-blooded and heartless...
In short, whether as a daughter or a sister, she did not fulfill her duties.
"Although I miss my husband and children, the emperor and the queen mother are equally important in my heart, so I don't want to leave the palace until I have redeemed my sins."
Now that the Queen Mother had spoken, she couldn't leave.
Because she may kill people to silence them at any time.
"lady……"
"Grass Eagle, the clan leader has already returned to the frontier. You shouldn't have stayed here. The emperor was generous and didn't punish you. You must not cross the line and lose your sense of propriety again."
She interrupted him coldly.
"Go back to the frontier as soon as possible and reunite with the clan leader. I will stay here and make the mistakes I have made up for."
Regardless of whether he is a grass eagle or not, now that she has determined that he is one, he must listen to her, the clan leader's wife.
That way, no matter what plans he made later, as long as I didn't go with him, I wouldn't be able to do anything. "Jing'an."
The Queen Mother looked surprised.
But in Jing'an's opinion, he had indeed seen through her trick.
She smiled faintly, tears in her eyes, and held her hand.
"Mother, Jing'an knows that he was wrong. Jing'an will definitely be filial to you in the future."
"Ma'am, are you sure you want to stay here?"
Cao Ying was also shocked and couldn't believe it.
"This is my choice. I believe Hanshan will understand."
Even if I live in darkness in this palace, it is better than death.
There is hope only if you are alive.
As long as you live, you don't lose.
"Cao Ying, take your people and leave Kyoto tonight. This is your last chance."
Yan Chu looked calm and no one knew what he was thinking.
It seemed as if he had already agreed to let Jing'an stay in the palace.
The immersed eyes were sharp and cold.
He is an eagle that looks down upon the world. When he gets serious, no one dares to look him in the eyes.
Cao Ying was full of reluctance and kept looking at Jing'an as he left.
No matter how many more words I had to say, I could only swallow them down and couldn't say them out loud.
"Why do you stay here, kid?"
The Queen Mother sighed, helped her up with a look of heartache, and sat her back beside her.
"For my mother."
Jing'an wiped her tears and sobbed, looking really pitiful.
She held the Queen Mother's hand tightly with a firm look in her eyes.
