Chapter 12: Marriage between the two countries, diplomatic mission to South Qing

Ye Qi couldn't describe this wonderful night.

In short, for the next few days, Zhan Doudou did not attend court on the grounds of poor health.

In the early morning of that day, Haitang sent Ye Qi back to the mansion.

Looking at Ye Qi's still erect penis, in order to prevent Ye Qi from becoming suspicious, Haitang continued to do that kind of thing with Ye Qi.

The next day, when Ye Qi woke up, Haitang was lying naked beside him.

Ye Qi couldn't help but sigh, it was too chaotic, the Northern Qi was too chaotic.

Haitang also woke up and looked at Ye Qi shyly: "You fell asleep last night, and I sent you back."

Ye Qi did not expose her and kissed Haitang on the forehead.

After washing up.

Ye Qi took his guards and escorted the Nanqing delegation out of Shangjing.

Before leaving, Fan Xian invited Ye Qi to come to Nanqing when he had time, and he would definitely give him a good reception.

Ye Qi agreed to Fan Xian's request.

The two modern men waved in greeting, and Ye Qi watched Fan Xian's delegation gradually go away.

Wang Jian also came back today.

"Sir, Sean has been buried in the countryside, and Uesugi Tiger has erected a tombstone for him."

"Does he doubt us?"

"No, he thought it was Yan Xiaoyi who did it."

"Very good, pack your bags, we will leave for Nanqing today."

"As ordered."

That afternoon, the eldest princess's convoy also set off on time.

The Queen Mother and the little emperor came to see him off.

The Queen Mother said, "General Ye, I hope you can protect the princess along the way. If anything happens to her, I will hold you responsible."

"Reporting to the Queen Mother, I will definitely fulfill my mission and accomplish the goal of this mission to Nanqing."

The Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction and looked at the little emperor beside her.

The little emperor's face flushed and he didn't dare to look Ye Qi in the eye.

Whenever Zhan Doudou thought of what happened last night, her face would turn red and her heart would beat fast.

The only thing she wanted to do now was to rush up and hug Ye Qi.

But she couldn't do that now.

"General Ye, please go early and come back early."

Zhan Doudou lowered her head and bit her lip and said.

The Queen Mother was somewhat puzzled: "If you are not feeling well, go back and rest first."

"Yes, my lady mother."

Zhan Doudou walked away quickly with strange steps.

Ye Qi came to Haitang and said, "Wait for me to come back."

Ye Qi was so intimate with Haitang in front of so many people, and was seen by everyone.

Everyone saw through it but didn't say anything. After all, many people already knew about their affair.

Everyone has tacitly accepted the fact that the two are together.

"If you don't come back, I will go to Nanqing to find you. If I catch you with another woman, humph!" Haitang said with a firm look in her eyes.

Ye Qi was speechless.

Then why didn’t she catch me when I was doing that thing with Zhan Doudou last night?

The thinking of good sisters is really hard to understand.

There was a strange look in the Queen Mother's eyes. Now that Ye Qi was about to leave, she didn't dare to ask any more questions.

Under the watchful eyes of civil and military officials.

The Northern Qi princess's delegation left Shangjing City and headed towards Nanqing.

Ye Qi rode the Red Hare and Wang Jian rode the Jueying Horse, and the two were on both sides of the eldest princess's carriage.

This is the first time the eldest princess has left the palace.

Along the way, it seemed that the eldest princess had a lot to say.

The eldest princess, like the eldest prince of Nanqing, Li Chengru, was not born to Empress Dowager Wei, but was a half-sister of the little emperor Zhan Doudou. Her mother died young, and she was raised in the deep palace by Empress Dowager Wei, and she never left the palace.

"I've wanted to escape from the imperial city since I was a child, but it was all just a dream. I didn't expect that the first time I would leave the palace would be to Nanqing, a place where I don't know anyone."

"Don't worry, Princess. With my protection, no one in Nanqing will dare to hurt you."

Ye Qi's words made the princess feel much more relieved.

The eldest princess looks delicate and cute, but she is actually quite smart. She gives Ye Qi a feeling of being wise but appearing foolish and clever.

The marriage between the eldest princess and the eldest prince was a purely political marriage, intended to ease the tense and hostile relations between the two countries after the defeat of Northern Qi.

Her name also inherited the tradition of homonyms in Qi State, and was called Zhan Qiaoqiao.

"General Ye, do you know what kind of person the eldest prince Li Chengru is?"

Ye Qi thought for a moment and said, "Li Chengru has been fighting on the battlefield for many years. His military life in the frontier should make him a casual person."

"General Ye has also been fighting outside for many years. I have admired soldiers since I was a child. I hope he will not let me down."

"Probably not."

In the original plot, the eldest prince Li Chengru and the eldest princess Zhan Qiaoqiao both had good endings.

a few days later.

The delegation met Fan Xian's team not far from the capital of Nanqing.

Fan Xian was very surprised to meet Ye Qi so soon.

"Commander Ye, what are you going to do?"

"Marriage, I am responsible for protecting the eldest princess's safety."

"Then why didn't you tell me earlier?"

“I only found out about it that afternoon.”

"I need your help."

"What's the deal?"

"I faked my own death to deceive the king, and I need your delegation to clear my suspicion."

"Faking your own death to deceive the king?" Ye Qi pretended he knew nothing.

So Fan Xian told Ye Qi what had happened in the past few days.

When Fan Xian was leading the delegation back, he encountered a threat from the second prince.

The process of Fan Xian faking his death was quite complicated. When the heavy troops led by Xie Bian intercepted him, Fan Xian and Yan Bingyun were surrounded.

Yan Bingyun stabbed Fan Xian, but he actually used a specially made retractable sword, and the chicken blood on the sword simulated the wound.

Then, under Wang Qinian's arrangement, a pit was dug under the firewood pile in order to hide Fan Xian.

Fan Xian was put into the pit and a pig was thrown into the fire to simulate his body.

This scene was carefully arranged, even the remains were pig bones prepared in advance. The "remains of Fan Xian" that Xie Bian sent to Li Chengze was completely part of the plan.

"Then what do you want me to do?!"

"I pretended to escape in a disgraceful manner and met your Northern Qi delegation. With your help, I was able to escape and return to Qing Kingdom." Fan Xian said.

Ye Qi scratched his head: "Although I don't understand the logic, I still choose to help you."

Ye Qi didn't understand why faking one's death would be considered deceiving the emperor. The news of his death was not passed back by Fan Xian, so how could it be considered deceiving the emperor?

What's more, faking death can also save your life.

Moreover, the Second Prince sent people to surround and kill Fan Xian, so isn't his crime even greater?

But the current plot is that Emperor Qing doesn't care about the Second Prince's assassination of Fan Xian, but only cares about Fan Xian's deceiving the emperor.

Since Fan Xian asked him to help, Ye Qi did not refuse.

In this way, Fan Xian mixed into the eldest princess's team and returned to Qing Kingdom with Ye Qi and others.

The two had a pleasant conversation along the way.

However, Fan Xian was skeptical about Ye Qi's purpose of going to Nanqing.

"As the commander of the Jinyiwei Zhenfu Division, you chose to be the escort of the eldest princess on a diplomatic mission to Nanqing. This is a bit inappropriate."

"Shen Zhong is helping to take care of the Jinyiwei's affairs. He is trustworthy."

"So how long do you plan to stay in Nanqing?"

"I will leave when the eldest princess gets married."
