Princess Hui An stood there in a daze, completely unprepared.
She was already prepared to go into the marriage alliance, but who knew that she would suddenly be kidnapped?
That person carried her on his shoulder and ran.
She was terrified.
It was not until she landed that she saw that the other party was General Wei xu.
Princess Hui An, who had always paid attention to her image, did not know that her hair had long been blown into a lion’s mane.
She felt dizzy and felt that something was wrong with the shadow on the ground. Her head was especially big.
“Su… Xuan, did you ask General Wei Xu to save me?” Princess Hui An asked blankly.
“No,” Su Xuan said.
Princess Hui An turned to look at Wei Xu.
Wei Xu nodded.
He meant to say, “Exactly.”
Su Xuan was speechless.
Princess Hui An had a tuft of hair that did not match the rest.
Wei Xu reached out and used his internal strength to smooth it.
She became even more like a furious lion.
Wei Xu was very satisfied.
Princess Hui An thanked Wei Xu and slowly took a few steps in.
Wei Xu closed the door with a bang!
The house darkened, except for the cold moonlight coming through the window.
Princess Hui An came to Su Xuan’s side and looked at his calm and handsome face. She couldn’t tell what he was thinking.
Su Xuan had smiled less recently.
However, at the same time, Princess Hui An felt that he was more real like this.
“Are you angry with me?”
Princess Hui An asked softly.
Su Xuan looked at the endless night and said calmly, “I’m not qualified to be angry with Princess Hui An. Whatever decision Princess An makes is not something I can interfere with.”
Princess Hui An thought for a moment. “Are you… telling the truth or saying it in anger? I’m not Jingning. I can’t tell. You have to explain it to me. Otherwise,
I’ll do it again.”
Su Xuan opened his mouth.
“Princess.” He took a deep breath and said softly, “Do you think that as long as you compromise, you can exchange your compromise for decades of peace for the Great Zhou? There’s only one princess, but there are several enemy countries eyeing us covetously. Can you resolve each of them with marriage?” “There are two princesses,” Princess Hui An corrected.
After correcting him, she seemed to feel that it was a little redundant to say this.
It was impossible for Jingning to marry. She carried the fate of the Great Zhou on her shoulders. Even an ignorant princess like her understood that Jingning would be tied to the Great Zhou for the rest of her life.
Therefore, she was indeed the only princess, unless there was another like Guo Lingxi.
However, this did not seem to be the main point Su Xuan wanted to talk about.
Su Xuan continued, “Have you thought about the outcome of the marriage? Perhaps it’s not as you hoped. You won’t be able to exchange for peace and might even not be able to protect your life.”
Princess Hui An said nothing.
Su Xuan continued, “The Southern Wilderness is ambitious and will one day vie for the Central Plains. Your marriage is meaningless. The Southern Wilderness will refrain from using troops against the Great Zhou on your account. Everything is just a smokescreen and a stalling tactic. When the two countries fight, the first to be sacrificed is you, as a princess.” Princess 1–1ui An remained silent.
Su Xuan gradually sensed that something was wrong.
He turned around and saw Princess Hui An looking aggrieved. Tears fell.
Su Xuan was stunned.
Seeing that he finally realized that she was crying, Princess Hui An felt aggrieved and cried. “Do you think I want to? You’re not here. What can I do? If I don’t leave with Lord Wang… Could it be that I’ll lure Lord Wang to see you… You’re always protecting me… I want to protect you once too… I don’t want to always be a burden..
Su Xuan said, “Princess Hui An is not a burden.”
Princess Hui An cried, “Then why are you still lecturing me?” “I… just don’t want the princess to do anything stupid again.” “You’re calling me stupid again..
Princess Hui An cried even harder. She howled and could not stop.
Su Xuan handed over a clean handkerchief. Princess Hui An turned her face away in tears. “No!”
Su Xuan said, “Your nose is running.”
Princess Hui An grabbed the handkerchief and covered her snot.
After she finished crying, she raised her high head and said arrogantly, “I’m not crying.”
Su Xuan smiled quietly. “Yes.”
Princess Hui An was stunned by his smile.
She coughed lightly and said, “I look good when I cry.”
Princess Hui An sniffed and returned to her room with the airs of a princess.
She was the number one beauty of the royal family.
Even when she was crying, she was still beautiful.
Su Xuan must have been extremely mesmerized by her.
With that thought in mind, she glanced in the mirror.
A frantic scream came from inside the house.
Wei Xu sat on the stone stool in the courtyard and felt the ground tremble three times. He looked confused.
Oh.
Su Xiaoxiao went to look for Wei Ting.
She remembered that Wei Ting and Ghostfear had gone out to do something. She was prepared to wait for him to return at Changliu Lane.
Unexpectedly, just as she reached the door, she bumped into Wei Ting, who had returned from outside.
“Eh? You’re back so soon? Where’s Big Brother?”
She asked.
Wei Ting got off the horse. “Brother went to pick them up. I’ll come back first.” Su Xiaoxiao had two questions. Who to pick up and why.
Wei Ting saw her confusion and handed the reins to Ah Fu. As he led her in, he said, “Second Brother’s Black-armored Guards have entered the southern border. Big Brother went to meet them and bring them into the capital. I met the Great Zhou envoy on the way and rushed back to inform you.”
Seeing that Su Xiaoxiao had a complicated expression and was not surprised at all, he asked, “You… have already met?”
“Princess Hui An bumped into them.”
Su Xiaoxiao told him that Princess Hui An had been picked up by the minister of the Honglu Temple.
Wei Qing happened to push his wheelchair out.
The two of them said, “Second Brother.” Wei Qing said, “I guess Princess Hui An didn’t enter the palace.” “Why?” the two of them asked in unison.
Wei Qing smiled and looked behind the two of them. “There.”
The two of them turned around and saw Su Li holding the osmanthus cake that Wei Xu had brought over with one hand and munching on it. “Fourth Brother asked me to bring you a message. Princess Hui An is back. Don’t be stupid by going to the palace to snatch her.”
Needless to say, Su Xiaoxiao had indeed planned to snatch her.
Naturally, it was going to be a sneaky snatch.
However, why was Princess Hui An back?
Su Li snorted. “Don’t ask me. Ask your father.”
He had a nap.
The princess was gone. He snoozed again.
The princess was back.
God knew what had happened.
In addition, Wei Xu was feeding his fourth brother osmanthus cakes again.
Su Xiaoxiao and Wei Ting decided to go over and take a look.
Princess Hui An had already tidied up her appearance and put on light makeup.
She chose not to say anything about making a fool of herself in front of Su Xuan.
Wei Xu sat on the stone bench in the courtyard dejectedly.
“What’s wrong with my father?” Wei Ting asked.
Princess 1–1ui An said, “He fed Su Xuan osmanthus cake, but Su Xuan didn’t eat it.”
Not only did he not eat it, but he also left.
Wei Xu was a little sad.
Princess Hui An only told them what had happened.
Knowing that Wei Xu had shown his face in front of the Honglu Temple minister, the Great Zhou guards, and Xie Jinnian, Su Xiaoxiao and Wei Ting’s expressions were a little solemn.
Not to mention those guards, the minister of the Honglu Temple had attended court with Wei Xu.
Su Xiaoxiao wondered, “Could Lord Wang have already recognized Dad?”
They were colleagues, so it was not impossible for him to recognize him, right? Moreover, there were so many guards who had been in the Ministry of War.
Wei Ting said, “If he recognized him, Xie Jinnian should have recognized it too.”
Wei Ting did not believe that as the trusted aide of the King of the Southern Wilderness, Xie Jinnian had never seen Wei Xu.
