Chapter 945 He is really thoughtful
Jiang Xue returned to the city and went straight to Jiang Xiaowei's residence. At that time, Jiang Xiaowei was talking to Jiang Xiaoan.
When she saw Jiang Xue, Jiang Xiaowei's eyes revealed deep concern - after just a few months of not seeing her friend, she had become so thin that she was almost unrecognizable.
"Your Highness, you are finally here!"
Jiang Xiaowei immediately asked her personal maid to prepare lily and lotus seed tea that could calm the mind and spirit, and she cooked it herself.
Jiang Xue stood at the kitchen door, watching quietly, with the words "good and peaceful life" coming to her mind. This ordinary but warm life was exactly what she had always dreamed of.
Lan Feng's feelings for her were based on reasons, and she herself fell in love with him for some reasons.
After the meal, Jiang Xiaowei carefully made the bed for Jiang Xue and lit some calming incense.
That night, Jiang Xue enjoyed a good sleep after a long time.
When she woke up, Jiang Xue felt refreshed and immediately set off for Tianshui.
Jiang Xiaoan insisted on going with her, and she did not object. After all, it was undoubtedly a good thing to have someone who was proficient in medicine and good at detoxification.
However, not long after they walked, Jiang Xue suddenly stopped, turned to Jiang Xiaoan and said, "After considering it, I think it's best if you don't come along."
"Why?" Jiang Xiaoan asked anxiously, "Your Highness always keeps his word and cannot change his mind."
“Jiang Xiaoan, this trip to Tianshui may be dangerous. Yun Che is suffering in Xixia now, and I don’t want you, his most valued cousin, to be in danger.”
"Your Highness, you are wrong. It is precisely because of the unknown dangers that I should stay by your side. This is also the wish of my third cousin."
Jiang Xue responded softly: "Hmm?"
Jiang Xiaoan continued, "Before my third cousin went to Xixia, he came to talk to me. He told me something very important."
"What did Yun Che say?" Jiang Xue asked.
"He said that if he couldn't come back, you would be the one he missed the most. He hoped that I could take good care of you."
Jiang Xiaoan said slowly: "He also mentioned, you know? He said that you bear a huge responsibility, but no one can really understand you.
There are also people who secretly harm you, causing you to be hurt frequently. Therefore, he asked me to protect you at all times, give you the best care when you are hurt, and reduce your pain.
Your Highness, I am now fulfilling my promise to him, please don't chase me away."
Jiang Xue was deeply moved after hearing this: "He is so thoughtful."
Her heart was filled with gratitude and love for Yun Che: "In that case, let's go together."
The newly enthroned Yelu Cheng quickly cleared out the remnants of the previous emperor Yelu Jun and executed several ministers who opposed him, showing a decisive and severe attitude that was reminiscent of the young Yelu Shengkang.
But Yelu Cheng's methods were even more cruel.
The ministers wanted to advise the emperor, but when they saw the fate of those punished ministers, they gave up the idea.
One day, while Yelu Cheng was reviewing documents, he received urgent news from the border.
After reading it, he crumpled the letter and threw it into the wastebasket. Qianguo wanted to redeem Xiao Zhan with gold, silver and treasures, which made him feel that they underestimated him.
He ordered: "Tell the Qian Kingdom envoy that I don't need their treasure. If they are willing to hand over the three cities, I will consider releasing Xiao Zhan."
"Yes."
Soon, Yelu Minzhen walked into the hall gracefully.
"Third brother." she called softly.
Yelu Cheng's eyes fell on her, and a surge of desire surged in his heart.
At first, he was attracted to her out of boyhood curiosity, but now he found that she was not only charming but also considerate, and she could bring him great satisfaction every time.
He pulled her into his arms: "Minzhen, do you miss me?"
"Third brother, isn't it because you miss me that you sent someone to call me here?" She responded gently, drawing circles on his chest with her fingers.
Yelu Cheng couldn't suppress his inner impulse and pushed her directly onto the table.
Yelu Minzhen gently put her arms around his neck and whispered in his ear:
"Third brother, I really can't get used to living in this palace. Can you let me move back to the old princess residence? I promise to be there whenever you call."
"Okay." Yelu Cheng knew that it was not appropriate for a princess like her to live in the palace for a long time, so she agreed without hesitation.
In the end, she couldn't escape his control anyway, just like she couldn't escape Yelu Shengkang's fate.
Before he finished speaking, Yelu Minzhen hugged him tighter, with a sneer in his eyes.
Jiang Xue and her entourage traveled almost non-stop and finally arrived at the capital of Tianshui Kingdom.
When she handed in the letter requesting a meeting, the emperor of Tianshui looked very surprised - he did not expect Jiang Xue to come in person, and it was obvious that the matter was very serious.
Huangfu Shang was also surprised, but he quickly regained his composure:
"Father, Xixia has been in turmoil recently. Jiang Xue is most likely here to propose cooperation with us to fight against Xixia. Why don't you let me understand her intentions first and then make a decision?"
"You've thought it through very carefully. Let's do as you say."
After resting in the embassy for only half a day, Huangfu Shang came to visit.
As soon as he saw Jiang Xue, he noticed that she had obviously lost a lot of weight, and had less aggressiveness and more delicate beauty.
"Ms. Changle, I haven't seen you for a year. Why have you become so thin?"
He remembered that she used to have a well-proportioned figure, but now she seemed too thin.
"I've been troubled a lot lately, so it's normal to lose some weight."
Jiang Xue smiled faintly: "I wonder if the Third Prince's visit is the Emperor's will?"
"It is indeed what Father meant, but..."
Huangfu Shang leaned close to her ear and whispered, "I really miss the princess, so I specifically asked my father to send me here."
Jiang Xue kept smiling, her expression unchanged: "His Royal Highness the Third Prince still likes to joke."
However, Huangfu Shang's hand gently touched her waist, and his tone was clearly ambiguous: "I never joke with Your Highness the Princess, my feelings are all sincere."
Jiang Xue squeezed his hand and cleverly changed the subject:
"I guess the Emperor asked the Third Prince to come here to find out my intentions. In that case, I will say it directly: I want to form an alliance with Tianshui to deal with Xixia together. What do you think?"
Huangfu Shang frowned in pain, but still smiled and let go of his hand.
Jiang Xue was still the person who would not suffer any loss easily, and it was this kind of character that fascinated him.
"I will convey Her Royal Highness's intention to Father as soon as possible."
Huangfu Shang smiled and said, "After Princess An Ning married into Tianshui, she often missed her homeland. Why don't you meet her during this visit?"
Jiang Xue took two steps back and kept a distance from Huangfu Shang:
"Your Highness should know that Yuyin didn't want to marry me at the beginning. I forced her to marry me. If we meet, it will only make her more sad, so it's better not to meet."
"Your Highness, what you said is wrong."
Huangfu Shang smiled and said, "Didn't I marry Princess An Ning because of the princess's forced marriage? But even so, my heart is always thinking about you."
