Chapter 727: A woman disguised as a man, a proton, and a foolish marquis (2)
"Going to the North Wing Country as a hostage, do you know what this means?"
This was the first time that the emperor looked at his daughter so carefully. He found that his previous understanding of her seemed incomplete.
"The gap in power between our Southern Border and Northern Wing is too great, so we can only accept the harsh conditions they proposed. This time, they specifically asked my Third Brother to be a hostage because they knew that he was the most beloved son of our father and the one who was most likely to become the crown prince.
More importantly, my grandfather holds military power and will naturally support my third brother. This is his strongest backing. If something happens, my father will find a way to bring my third brother back.
Of course, even if you don't want to accept it, considering the military power in the hands of my grandfather, you will definitely take my third brother back. At that time, the Northern Wing Kingdom can make money without restraint. "
Yu Yan's voice was calm and cold, as if she was completely unaware of how shocking the words she had said were.
After hearing her words, the smile on the emperor's face disappeared and he stared at her expressionlessly. An invisible imperial pressure filled the entire room.
His tone was as cold as ice. "The fight for succession, military power, the game between the monarch and his subjects... you brought up all these sensitive topics. Do you understand that if anyone else had said these to me, they would have been beheaded long ago?"
Yu Yan said calmly, "But these are all facts, aren't they? Besides, the candidate for the crown prince in your mind was originally my third brother. Otherwise, it would be impossible for you to suppress my second brother who is under the Queen's knee while sending people to find a miracle doctor to detoxify my third brother."
The emperor snorted, "Oh, you also know that your third brother was poisoned and the imperial physician said he would not survive his twenties? If that's the case, are you still so sure that he is the one I want as the crown prince?"
Yu Yan smiled, "Father, didn't you bring the third brother with you and teach him the ways of being an emperor?"
After hearing her words, the emperor's stern expression suddenly disappeared and a smile appeared on his face.
He looked at Yu Yan with a curious look and said with satisfaction: "Yan'er, if you were a man, the candidate for the position of crown prince in my mind would change."
He is an emperor and a father.
This daughter is no older than his brother. She has been with him since she was a child, learning the ways of the emperor.
However, she was smarter than he thought. She knew the situation in the court, the emperor's thoughts, and the game between the two countries very well.
If a minister dared to say these words in front of him, he would definitely kill him.
But, this is his own daughter. Because of her birth, it rained for two days during the drought that year, allowing countless people to survive.
The emperor looked at his princess, who had been brought up in pampered glory, and felt a sense of satisfaction from the bottom of his heart.
"Yan'er, have you thought it through? Do you want to go to the Northern Wing Kingdom in place of your brother?"
"I am a princess. For the sake of the royal family and the people of the Southern Border, I have no choice but to do this."
……
An hour later, Yu Yan came out of the imperial study.
Two days later, a piece of news spread throughout the court. All the civil and military officials knew that the emperor had invited a miracle doctor to treat the third prince who was poisoned and unconscious.
Everyone was guessing who this miracle doctor was and how he could have such miraculous medical skills.
The genius doctor suggested that the blood of a person who was related to the Third Prince by blood, and who was his closest relative, must be used as a guide to the medicine in order to detoxify.
This request made everyone fall into deep thought. Who would be willing to sacrifice their life to save the third prince?
After all, apart from the emperor, the only relatives who are closely related to the third prince by blood are a few princes and princesses.
Of course, the emperor would not damage the dragon's body, but anyone who stood up at this time might be able to gain the emperor's favor.
However, just as everyone was guessing, the fourth princess Yu Yan stood up resolutely.
She expressed without hesitation her willingness to give everything for her brother, even her own life.
After a day and night of intensive treatment, the third prince finally woke up.
His face gradually regained its rosy complexion and his breathing became steady and strong.
However, the fourth princess became extremely weak due to the extraction of blood from her heart, and had to be sent to a hot spring resort outside the capital to recuperate.
People were deeply impressed and moved by the Fourth Princess's behavior.
What a good princess! She is willing to give her heart's blood for her brother's health.
I heard that you should go there three times in a row first! If you are not careful, you will die.
Thanks to the blessing of God, the fourth princess did not lose her life.
At the same time, people are also full of curiosity about the mysterious doctor.
The dignitaries in the capital even wanted to ask the miracle doctor to treat them, but unfortunately, after he cured the third prince, he left and was never seen again.
Before everyone could feel regret for long, another piece of news shocked the government and the public.
It turned out that the Queen was the one who poisoned the Third Prince. The Emperor was furious and took away the Queen's power and gave it to Concubine Shu.
He also ordered the Queen to copy the Buddhist scriptures 10,000 times for the Queen Mother, and she could leave Fengyi Palace when she finished.
*
Half a month later, at the gate of the imperial palace, the Emperor of the Southern Border Kingdom and his court officials looked at his third prince with sorrowful expressions.
He reached out and patted the Third Prince's shoulder, as if he had a thousand words to say, but in the end, he only said one sentence, "Chen'er, wait for your father to pick you up."
Yu Yan smiled and said, "I am leaving now. I hope your Majesty will take care of himself."
The emperor nodded, "Father knows, don't worry."
The ministers stood behind the emperor, looking at the pale-faced Third Prince, then at the envoys from the Northern Wing Kingdom who were waiting not far away, and expressed their deep sorrow.
The damn Emperor of Beiyi Kingdom is such a coward.
Their third prince had just recovered from a serious illness and was still very weak. Now he had to go to the North Wing as a hostage.
Woohoo~ It’s all because of these useless ministers!
Otherwise, they wouldn't have been defeated, and if they hadn't been defeated, the Third Prince wouldn't have been sent to the North Wing as a hostage.
As the generals thought about it, they looked at the envoys from the Northern Wing Kingdom with a strange look in their eyes, and they wanted to rush up and beat them up.
After a stick of incense, the carriage set off and gradually disappeared from the sight of the emperor and ministers of the Southern Border Kingdom.
The ministers sighed and secretly wiped away their tears.
What a shame!
When the next war breaks out, they will definitely win back everything they have lost.
Woohoo~ Your Highness the Third Prince, wait for us.
