Chapter 453: The Traitor: Bright Moon, Drinking Alone in the Autumn
Li Jinyu underestimated Sang'er's determination and she almost died that night. Fortunately, someone discovered her early and saved her life.
"The princess said that everyone pursues different things, but Sang'er's wish is to always follow the princess."
Sang'er cried miserably. If Li Jinyu was still the precious princess, she would not have to worry and would even happily prepare for her marriage.
But no.
Her princess had suffered so much, and she didn't want her to be so lonely in a foreign country.
If the princess did not volunteer, she would risk her life to ask the prime minister to save the princess.
Although the prime minister seemed disrespectful to the princess, everything he did was always for the princess's good. He saved the princess from the underworld countless times.
Compared to the countless open and covert attacks, the prime minister is probably one of the only people in the world who truly hopes that the princess will live and be healthy.
But this is what the princess wanted.
She pinned everything on the illusory affection that she had never looked down upon, and bet that the Emperor of Chen and the mother's family of Concubine Shu would be able to consider a little bit of their old friendship.
Li Jinyu and Sang'er hugged each other and cried bitterly.
All her life she had been obsessed with blatant favoritism.
God was kind to her as Sang'er was always by her side.
She once thought that if someone could choose her so unwaveringly, even just once, she would be willing to be reborn as an animal in the next life.
Li Jinyu's wedding date was set for March, the time when all things come back to life. There were many buds on the branches, tender and delicate, swaying shyly in the wind.
When she left Bianjing City, she heard Sang'er carefully reminding the Prime Minister that he was on the city wall. She lifted the veil on her head and looked up at the people on the city wall.
Tang Ran stood alone on the city wall.
He did not see Li Jinyu off when she left the palace, and Li Jinyu thought he would not show up today.
Not only Tang Ran, but also Crown Prince Li Changyi, Princess Li Limu and several other princes and grandchildren.
And a group of people were walking behind the sedan chair.
Li Jinyu's eyes suddenly turned red, thinking back to last night when the old emperor, who was just a skeleton lying on the bed, forced himself to cheer up, held her hand and talked a lot.
Thinking of the prince coming in the middle of the night in the wind and frost, he promised her, "I will definitely take you back."
In Li Jinyu's memory, even when Crown Prince Li Changyi was vulgar and clumsy in the early days, he was very proud in his bones and never cried like that.
Apart from his ancestors, his father, the emperor and his mother, he had never kneeled in front of anyone.
And Li Limu...
Li Jinyu thought about them one by one, her eyes were already misty, her sight followed the red veil embroidered with mandarin ducks, and of course big tears dripped onto the dazzling red wedding dress.
Father is so stupid, how could she hate him?
He had loved her as much as he could.
They are an imperial family and cannot be viewed from the perspective of an ordinary family. Even if they are ordinary families, when they know that only one of them or their child can survive, not everyone would be like the emperor's father, who would rather suffer from the torture of the poisonous insect than take her life.
What's more, my father provided me with good food and drink, and had a large number of palace maids and eunuchs to serve me.
How could she hate him?
She just had some resentment in her heart. It was like she had always thought that she was not loved, but one day, she realized that there was an extremely heavy love behind it, and that heavy love made her feel a little breathless.
The only regret is that when I grew up, I really didn’t receive any blatant favoritism from my father.
Life in the capital city returned to normal, as if nothing had happened.
At this time, a group of exhausted people appeared in the capital. After moving to Bianjing City, they headed non-stop towards the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Song Chenggui looked much more vicissitudes of life, but with an unconcealable smile on his face, he asked the prime minister to go and see the harvest brought back from the Western Regions.
As soon as the box was opened, there were countless gold, silver, jewelry, and even priceless night pearls.
Song Chenggui saw Tang Ran's indifferent expression and thought that the prime minister was really generous and looked down on these things.
Then he picked up a fruit and introduced it, "This thing is called melon in the local area. In addition, I also brought back some grain seeds."
Having said that, Song Chenggui straightened his back suddenly, with a look of pride on his face.
Tang Ran looked at the most important thing in the car, smiled, patted Song Chenggui on the shoulder, and said, "Chenggui, you've worked hard on this trip. After the night pearl is auctioned, I'll take one tenth of it as a reward for you and the soldiers who accompanied you."
Hearing this, the eyes of all the disguised soldiers lit up.
You know, this night pearl is priceless. One tenth of it is enough for them to make a fortune.
Suddenly, Tang Ran touched a black bag. His expression changed slightly, and he untied the bag, revealing a white and soft area.
Seeing Tang Ran's interest, Song Chenggui smiled and said, "The locals in the Western Regions call this Jibei, saying it can keep people warm. Xiaguan didn't know how it was used, so he brought some back, along with a few Western Region women who knew how to use Jibei."
He secretly glanced at Tang Ran's face.
Those women were carefully chosen and were very rare beauties. However, it would be embarrassing to tell others that he had sent them from thousands of miles away, so he asked those women to learn how to use the Jibei before bringing them back.
Tang Ran asked people to move all the things downstairs and said softly, "The most valuable things this time are the food and Jibei. By next year, there won't be so many people freezing to death in Northern Qi."
Song Chenggui was slightly stunned when he heard this.
He really didn't expect Tang Ran to say that.
He thought Tang Ran liked gold, silver and jewelry the most.
Seeing the flash of compassion in Tang Ran's eyes, Song Chenggui's brain felt like paste.
This notorious prime minister with numerous crimes actually didn't care as much about power and wealth as one might imagine. Instead, he cared more about the lives of the people.
Song Chenggui looked at Tang Ran's back. He didn't know what this prime minister, who was only 20 years old but had absolute power, was thinking.
A girl came over, and Song Chenggui bowed respectfully: "Your humble servant greets the princess."
Xue Nanyin nodded and stood there silently looking at Tang Ran.
Song Chenggui was very tactful. He immediately said that he had been away from home for a long time and missed his family, and then left the Prime Minister's Mansion.
I have heard for a long time that the little princess Xue Nanyin lives in the Prime Minister's Mansion and has a close relationship with the Prime Minister. I didn't expect it to be true.
This little princess is just as the legend says, she is not talkative.
I heard that she didn't say a word for several months.
Song Chenggui thought to himself, isn't the mouth meant for talking and eating? But this little princess is a strange one, with a very withdrawn personality. She usually stays at home and rarely interacts with others.
Only the prime minister can bear it.
If it were someone else, they would be driven to death by her character that makes her unable to say a word even if beaten with three sticks.
However, the Prime Minister's changeable personality is not something that ordinary people can tolerate. I don't know how the Prime Minister tolerates the existence of this little princess.
If his life wasn't important, he would really be curious about how these two people get along.
