C148 It Was also the Time for Him to Make a Comeback
The reason why they chose to protect Wusun at that time, was not because they had some sort of relationship with Wusun Nation, but because they did not want to see Yingjia Nation dominating a region. Everyone knew the logic of how lips goes and teeth go cold, if Yingjia Nation turned to them after devouring Wusun Nation, then it would not be fun.
Moreover, two days ago, they had experienced an internal conflict within the imperial family, so in the short term, they would not use any soldiers. And this was a good opportunity for them to annex Wusun, after all, it was only at this time that Wusun was completely taken into their pockets, and only then would they become a great power that stood shoulder to shoulder with Yingjia.
However, perhaps Wusun also brought up this point, so they proposed the idea of marriage, and wanted to freeze Xiliang first. However, they didn't think that they, from Xiliang, would never think of it this way.
At this moment, Shangguan Jinghua was looking at Lee Wanning, who was standing in front of him. His eyes were filled with surprise and bewilderment.
Lee Wanning knew what Shangguan Jinghua was thinking. After a pause, she continued, "I don't know if Prince ever heard of a story called 'Farmer and Snake'?"
Shangguan Jinghua shook his head.
After Lee Wanning smiled, she told him the story. Then, she slowly said, "To a snake, there is no gratitude at all. There is one more thing …"
Shangguan Jinghua's eyes turned deep as he looked at Lee Wanning.
Lee Wanning said, "Your Highness should have seen Princess Changle yesterday, right? "To be honest, although she is my aunt, if she really treats me as her niece, I'm afraid she wouldn't do such a thing."
Lee Wanning was serious.
She didn't want to do this. She was the type of person who treated people the same way she treated people. No matter what Princess Changle did to her right now, she had helped her many times. Lee Wanning still wasn't willing to fight with her over this.
But sometimes, people can't help themselves.
Just as Lee Wanning was thinking this, Shangguan Jinghua suddenly laughed and said, "Princess Liuli is indeed a rich person."
Lee Wanning didn't answer.
Shangguan Jinghua thought for a while and said, "I know, we've been out for a long time. Let's go back!"
The two of them returned to the inn. The palace maid was still standing at the door, so they didn't know that Lee Wanning and Shangguan Jinghua had already discussed some matters.
After returning to the palace, Lee Wanning went to find Princess Changle.
Xiu Er was locked up by her, but luckily, she didn't do anything to her.
When she saw Lee Wanning, Princess Changle's face was full of smiles. She said, "How was it? Did you play well with Prince Siliang today?"
Lee Wanning looked at Princess Changle for a long time. That kind of gaze made Princess Changle stunned. She looked at herself up and down to make sure there was nothing wrong with her before she slowly raised her eyes and asked, "What's wrong?"
Lee Wanning's hands shook. Then, she said, "Princess Changle, I have something to say to you."
Princess Changle nodded and let them go down, leaving only the two of them in the hall.
Lee Wanning said, "If Prince Siliang agrees to this marriage, I must marry him, right?"
Princess Changle sighed, reached out her hand and grabbed Lee Wanning's hand, and said, "Aa Ning, I've already told you, this is the duty of a princess. Think about it, if it wasn't for the protection of the Xiliang, would you be in the palace now?"
Princess Changle's eyes were filled with seriousness. That look made Lee Wanning feel nothing, to be honest.
She pulled her hand away, then said, "I don't want any of this luxury."
"Aa Ning." Princess Changle's eyes immediately darkened. "This is your fate. You can't escape it!"
Lee Wanning looked at her, "Then, what does Princess Changle want to do?"
"What?" Princess Changle was a little taken aback.
Lee Wanning said her own words, "My destiny is to marry Prince Siliang, and bring peace and happiness to the entire Wusun Country. But Princess Changle, what is it?"
Princess Changle's eyes immediately darkened. "What do you want to say?"
"Yes …" Under the heavens, right? " Lee Wanning laughed directly.
Princess Changle stood up. She was wearing a beautiful dress with her hands in front of her. She looked like a king descending to the world.
She said, "Yes... So what? In these few decades, just how many times have our Wusun been bullied because we are weak? Do you want to go on like this? I don't want to! What I want is for the citizens of the entire Wusun Nation to be able to be as carefree and carefree as the citizens of the Xiliang Nation! "
Princess Changle's voice was loud and echoed in the entire hall. Lee Wanning looked at her and slowly said, "Princess Changle really has a good bearing, but I …" "I have not. All I want is to be an ordinary woman."
"Aa Ning!" Princess Changle's eyes darkened as she said, "You can't do whatever you want in this world. If it comes to you, you can only bear it!"
Lee Wanning clenched her hands and said, "Then what about after I marry the Crown Prince of Xiliang? What do you want me to do? Was I supposed to be a spy for you in the entire Xiliang? "
Princess Changle suddenly stopped talking. The way she looked made Lee Wanning feel that she was right.
She wanted him to marry into Xiliang, not just so that he could marry himself, but so that he could swallow the whole of Xiliang into his stomach!
Lee Wanning gritted her teeth and said, "What if I say no?"
Princess Changle suddenly laughed and said, "Aa Ning, in this world, everything is not so simple. You don't want to help me right? You remember your lover? "
Lee Wanning's body shuddered instantly.
Princess Changle sat down beside her. Her skillful method of making tea had been given to her by Lee Wanning previously.
Now, she slowly poured out the tea while saying, "What do you think I was doing in the palace of Yingjia? "Do you believe that even if I am here, I can still kill Zhou Qu?"
Lee Wanning's eyes were filled with disbelief. She clenched her hands tightly and said, "Princess Changle, I always thought that we had feelings for each other."
Princess Changle looked at her and said, "Aa Ning, the things in this world are not as simple as you think."
Lee Wanning suddenly laughed and said, "Yes …" It's not that simple! "
After saying that, Lee Wanning turned around and left. Princess Changle's eyes followed behind her. That gaze of hers even gave Lee Wanning goosebumps.
For the next few days, Lee Wanning accompanied Shangguan Jinghua on a sightseeing tour. The two of them seemed like close friends who hated each other for being late. They seemed to be having fun together, making Princess Changle unable to stop herself from laughing.
She even said to Lee Wanning, "Aa Ning, don't you think that's enough? When you compare the Crown Prince of Xiliang with Zhou Qu, which one of them is not stronger? "
Lee Wanning didn't say anything.
A few days later, the crown prince of Xiliang returned to his homeland. Just as he returned, Wusun received news that Prince Siliang was very satisfied with the princess and agreed to marry her.
Everyone thought that the person he wanted to marry was Lee Wanning.
However, he didn't expect that the last person Prince Siliang wanted to marry was Princess Changle.
When she heard this news, Princess Changle's face was filled with disbelief. The person she immediately looked at was Lee Wanning.
Lee Wanning's face was a mask of ignorance.
Princess Changle wanted to tell the emperor that she didn't agree to such a marriage, but Lee Wanning said, "Princess Changle, didn't you tell me before? It's a duty as a princess. "
Princess Changle's expression was extremely unsightly. She looked at Lee Wanning, who was standing in front of her, with a calm expression on her face.
Princess Changle walked up to her and said, "You did it?"
Lee Wanning said, "Princess, you really think too highly of me. This is the will of the Crown Prince of Xiliang, no matter what, I will definitely not change his mind, right?"
Princess Changle's face was filled with a cold smile. She walked up to Lee Wanning and said, "You think this will end like this? "Lee Wanning, I …"
"Consort Dowager Hua." Lee Wanning suddenly interrupted her.
Princess Changle's expression couldn't help but pause for a moment. After a long time, she slowly raised her eyes and looked at Lee Wanning.
Lee Wanning said in a low voice, "If possible, I really hope that things can go back to the time when you were the gentle and lovable Consort Dowager Hua. And I'm just Lee Wanning. "
Princess Changle slowly walked to the side and said, "What's the use of saying this now? Didn't you instigate Prince Siliang? "
Lee Wanning said, "Even if I don't say anything, do you really think that others won't be able to tell what you want to do? "Princess Changle, other people aren't idiots."
Princess Changle's eyes looked at Lee Wanning, who was in front of her, and suddenly smiled. She said, "Aa Ning, I was not wrong about you. I'll leave it to you, okay? "
Hearing Princess Changle's words, Lee Wanning's expression immediately changed. She looked at Princess Changle, who was standing in front of her.
Her face was full of smiles, and then, she walked past Lee Wanning, saying, "When we reach the Wusun, I will give you information."
Before Lee Wanning could reply, Princess Changle's figure had already disappeared from her sight. What Lee Wanning wanted to tell her, she didn't want anything.
All she wanted was to be with him …
When she thought of this name, Lee Wanning felt as if something had blocked her chest, making her feel depressed.
At this moment, Zhou Qu was kneeling on the floor of the court. Ann Tan's face was filled with anger. He even picked up the Yuxi from the table and directly smashed it onto Zhou Qu's head.
"Zhou Qu, do you really think that I don't dare to kill you?!"
Just like that, the entire imperial court fell to their knees.
