Chapter 2740 2742【Zhao Sese】
After going to court, Xiang Nan went to see the Empress Dowager.
“Grandma, my great-grandson will leave for Xizhou in two days.” He asked the Queen Mother, “Do you have any message to send to Aunt Mingyuan?”
"Good boy, you are interested." The Empress Dowager nodded and handed a letter to Xiang Nan.
In addition, clothes, jewelry, food, etc. were also prepared for Mingyuan. It can be seen that she loves Princess Mingyuan very much.
"Tell Mingyuan that you must take good care of your health. Don''t let me, an old woman, give you to someone with gray hair." The Queen Mother said with red eyes.
“Yes, Grandma.” Xiang Nan nodded, and then went to Fangshi to prepare a batch of medicinal materials.
Before, Toyo Chao received a message from Princess Mingyuan, knowing that she was seriously ill and would die soon.
Therefore, in order to stabilize the relationship between Toyochao and Xizhou, it was suggested that Toyochao marry the princess of Xizhou as the crown princess to consolidate the diplomatic relations between the two countries.
?Of course, this is purely a novelist’s statement.
Because since ancient times, emperors have inherited the most important bloodline. If they are not from my race, their minds must be different.
As a princess of a defeated foreign country, Qu Xiaofeng was lucky enough to be accepted as a concubine. There was no way she would become the crown princess, and her son would never succeed as the emperor.
?It seems that in the late Northern Song Dynasty, Bianliang was conquered by the Jin Dynasty, and the emperor, concubines, princesses, etc. were all kidnapped. After being brought back to northern Xinjiang, they were all demoted as slaves and humiliated and trampled at will.
Although the disease Princess Mingyuan suffered from was not revealed in the letter, Xiang Nan had watched the TV series and knew that she had tuberculosis.
This disease was indeed a terminal illness in ancient times. However, Xiang Nan has a way to cure one or two.
?Even if the cure is not achieved, at least there is no problem in living for a few more years.
As long as Princess Mingyuan is still alive, Gao Xian will not dare to be too aggressive in Xizhou.
Can''t do the evil deeds that drove the concubine of Xizhou to death and the king of Xizhou crazy. In this way, Qu Xiaofeng will at least hate him less.
…
That night, Xiang Nan went to Prime Minister Gao''s Mansion to meet his uncle Gao Ming.
"It''s a good thing that the fifth prince can go to the Western Territory." Gao Ming nodded, "However, the Western Territory is treacherous and full of dangers, so the fifth prince should still be careful."
“Thank you for your uncle’s advice, Cheng Yin will keep it in my heart.” Xiang Nan bowed and said, “I want to ask my uncle Gao Xian for his support before I go to the Western Region.”
"Well, we are all one family. This is natural." Gao Ming nodded.
“Does my uncle have any letters to send to his cousin Gao Xian? Cheng Yin can take them with him on the way.” Xiang Nan asked again.
In fact, there have always been messengers between the Gao family and the Western Region, so even if there is a letter, it cannot be delivered by him. What Xiang Nan wants is actually a letter of recommendation written by Gao Ming, so that Gao Xian can treat him better.
?Because Gao Xian went to the Western Region early to develop, he had almost never met Li Chengyin, and the relationship with him was naturally very weak. Having a recommendation letter written by Gao Ming will undoubtedly deepen the relationship between the two.
"The fifth prince is interested. I have a letter that I want you to bring to Xian''er." Gao Ming nodded, then took out a letter and handed it to Xiang Nan.
"Don''t worry, uncle, Cheng Yin will definitely deliver the letter safely." Xiang Nan took the letter and put it away carefully.
…
Two days later, Li Chengye, Xiang Nan, and Li Min went to the west first.
“Second brother, I’m going to the Western Region together this time. Please take more care of me.” Xiang Nan cupped his hands and smiled at Li Chengye.
“Don’t worry, we are all brothers, I will naturally take care of you.” Li Chengye said with a smile.
He did not expect that his fifth brother, who had always been lazy, would now start to work hard. The wit, intelligence, and courage shown made him a little afraid.
?Especially going to the Western Region, he was even more worried.
Because he knew that his fifth brother''s cousin Gao Xian was now the Protector of Anhu Mansion in the Western Region. The fifth brother''s friend Pei Zhao also works in Anhu Mansion.
Therefore, when the fifth brother arrived in the Western Region, he was even more powerful than a tiger, and his power was no worse than his. In this case, you have to be extremely careful.
"It seems that the death of the prince has made Lao Wu have thoughts that he shouldn''t have." Li Chengyin thought in his heart. And he will not let anyone take away his position as prince, not even his brother or father, he will kill him without fail.
…
The group immediately left Shangjing and headed to the Western Territory.
As soon as we arrived at Shili Changting, we heard someone shouting crisply, "Your Highness~"
?Li Chengye and Xiang Nan followed the sound and saw a young and beautiful woman standing under the ten-mile pavilion.
Xiang Nan was startled and recognized that this woman was Zhao Sese, the daughter of General Zhao Jingyu.
He immediately patted his horse and stepped forward to greet her, "Miss Zhao, why are you here?"
“Sese heard that His Highness was going to Xizhou, so he specially waited here.” Zhao Sese explained.
Xiang Nan smiled slightly when he heard this.
"This is the sachet that Sese personally sewed for His Highness." Zhao Sese took out another exquisitely embroidered sachet and handed it to Xiang Nan.
“Miss Zhao, what do you mean?” Xiang Nan pretended not to know.
In fact, he knew that Zhao Sesu had a good impression of Li Chengyin, but he also knew that Li Chengyin had no such thoughts about Zhao Sesu and only regarded her as a childhood playmate.
?? Li Chengyin only started to use Zhao Sesu''s good impression of him to win over Zhao Jingyu, the general of the auxiliary country, when the prince was assassinated and he was determined to climb up the ladder.
Zhao Sese was obviously aggrieved when he saw Xiang Nan asking this question, "Does Your Highness really not know what Sese is thinking?"
"This trip to the west is full of wind, frost, swords, and **** storms. I don''t know when I can return to Beijing. I''m afraid Cheng Yin won''t be able to repay Miss Zhao''s feelings." Xiang Nan explained.
This time I went to the Western Region to fight. In war, there will be casualties, not to mention hidden attacks. Even the prince will be assassinated, how can others be spared.
"I''m willing to wait! If Your Highness doesn''t come back for a year, Sese will wait for you for one year; if he doesn''t come back for ten years, he will wait for you for ten years; if he doesn''t come back for a lifetime, Sese will wait for you for the rest of his life." Zhao Sese said emotionally, "It''s a long journey, please take care of yourself, Your Highness."
Xiang Nan was a little moved when he saw her saying this.
??Zhao Sese used Li Chengyin in some ways and played some tricks on him, but overall, she still loved him.
?This infatuation alone is hard to come by.
?It''s a pity that Li Chengyin is such a bitch. He plots against the infatuated Zhao Sese and defends Qu Xiaofeng who hates him. It''s as if he has some serious illness.
"I remember, you should take care of yourself when you go to Beijing." Xiang Nan nodded, then turned and left.
Zhao Sese watched him leave, his eyes full of tenderness.
…
“Fifth brother, who is this girl?” Li Chengye asked with a smile.
“The eldest daughter of Zhao Jingyu, the general of the auxiliary state.” Xiang Nan explained.
“You are really good-looking. The fifth prince is very blessed.” Li Min said with a smile.
When Xiang Nan heard this, he glanced at him to express his dissatisfaction.
Li Min couldn''t help but get angry when he saw this.
?Although he is only the son of King Zhong, he is certain that Li Chengye will ascend the throne as emperor in the future, and he will be one person below ten thousand people.
By that time, Xiang Nan, as the prince who failed to seize the legitimate heir, had long been demoted to who knows where, so he was not afraid of Xiang Nan at all.
?Now that Xiang Nan dared to give him a look, he was naturally angry.
?Li Chengye shook his head at him and signaled him to calm down. Now is not the time for internal strife.
?Li Min finally suppressed his tone.
