When Wen Nianruan woke up the next day, he kept thinking about the relationship between Aunt Mu and Beihe.
Beihe was a dynasty dominated by women, and the current one in power is Empress Huimin Murong Wan.
Wen Nianruan thought about the words left by the woman last night. If the characters Murong and Bei both pointed to the Beihe royal family, what did "dragon and phoenix" refer to?
Wen Nianruan thought deeply, and then her eyes froze. She suddenly remembered the half of the token left by Aunt Mu. She took it out and looked at it. One side of the token was engraved with a dragon, and the other side was engraved with a phoenix.
Does the word "dragon and phoenix" refer to this token?
If this is the case, then Aunt Mu may really be related to the Beihe royal family. Things that ordinary people cannot carve out of dragons and phoenixes can only be used by members of the royal family.
At noon, Pei Yiqing went to the palace to see Wen Nianruan. Pei Yiqing also heard the news of her assassination yesterday. They and Wen Tingzhou were always on tenterhooks. They couldn't sit still and wanted to come and see Wen Nianruan.
Seeing that she was not injured, Pei Yiqing felt relieved.
In the afternoon, Yushuang had woken up. Wen Nianruan asked the palace people to take her back. Her injury was a bit serious, so she was asked to rest well in Fuhua Palace. After all, she would leave the palace in half a month. I hope her health would be better by then.
The injury is almost healed.
Qiu Bai put Yu Shuang in bed and walked up to Wen Nianruan: "Madam, I just heard that Beihe is going to send us an envoy to Xiliang."
"People from Beihe are coming?" Wen Nianruan was stunned.
She had just been assassinated yesterday. If those masked men were from Beihe, and Beihe suddenly came to visit, what was the purpose?
She asked: "Did Beihe say why he came?"
Qiu Bai shook his head: "I don't know, I just heard Eunuch Fang mention it just now."
I didn't hear Eunuch Fang elaborate on what Beihe was doing.
In the evening, Yun Chenan came over.
He held Wen Nianruan and sat next to the cradle. Wen Nianruan gently rocked the cradle, looking at the sleeping Xiao Muxi, "Have you found out the identities of those masked men yesterday?"
"Yes, he is indeed from Beihe."
Wen Nianruan also guessed it, so there was no surprise.
Immediately, Yun Chenan frowned slightly: "I also found out something. Your mother, Aunt Mu, seems to be the missing princess of Beihe, Murong Qiyue."
After shaking the cradle for a moment, Wen Nianruan looked back at him: "Princess Beihe?"
Yun Chen'an nodded: "Murong Qiyue was the crown princess who was conferred by the late emperor, but she disappeared before she could ascend the throne. The throne was inherited by her sister Murong Wan."
Murong Wan is now Empress Huimin.
Don't think too much, Aunt Mu's disappearance may be another conspiracy. The royal family has always been intrigues and intrigues for the throne.
When I asked Yun Chenan to help me check the name "Mu Qiyue", I found no such person in Xiliang. It turned out that she had changed her last name, Murong to Mu.
Wen Nianruan asked again: "Are the people from Beihe coming?"
"Well, Murong Qingying, the princess of Beihe, is coming to get married."
Wen Nianruan frowned: "The Crown Princess is coming to get married? Is there any candidate?"
Since the Crown Princess is coming to get married, the man she chooses must go to Beihe.
"Not yet, we have to wait until Princess Beihe comes to choose in person."
Wen Nianruan looked at Yun Chenan and stared at his face.
"What's wrong?" Yun Chenan smiled.
Wen Nianruan hugged his neck, "When the princess of Beihe comes, you'd better show less face, I'm afraid you will be picked out by her."
With Yun Chenan's appearance, no one would refuse if a woman saw her.
He laughed, lowered his head and kissed Wen Nian's soft red lips: "Don't worry, I won't be picked out by her."
He is the national master of Xiliang, and he is not suitable for marriage due to his status.
Yun Chenan sighed softly: "Ruanruan, I'm not worried about Beihe coming to get married, I'm worried about You."
She was assassinated by Bei He yesterday, and now Bei He is coming to get married again, with some unclear motives.
Wen Nianruan also thought about this. She said with a smile: "If Beihe comes after me, then I can't escape at all. When they come, I can only wait and see what happens."
"Well, remember not to do anything dangerous, leave it all to me."
"good."
A few days later, Beihe's team arrived outside the city, and they went to greet Xiao Yihan.
Those who came from Beihe included the Crown Princess Murong Qingying, the Crown Princess Murong Longyue, the Prime Minister Zuorong, and General Xiao who was protecting the team.
Xiao Yihan waited half an hour in advance. When Beihe's team arrived, he stepped forward to greet them.
The person sitting in the leading carriage was the Crown Princess Murong Qingying, but this carriage was extremely simple and not as luxurious as Murong Longyue next to her.
Moreover, there was no guard in front of the carriage, but Murong Longyue's was surrounded by a circle of people.
Xiao Yihan stared at the two carriages.
Sitting on the high horse in front is a woman in armor, about thirty years old, with cold eyebrows and a murderous voice. This is General Xiao, Xiao Lan from Beihe.
Xiao Yihan stepped forward and exchanged greetings: "General Xiao."
Xiao Lan cupped her fists and saluted: "His Royal Highness King Xuan."
They are both warriors on the battlefield, and they have known each other before.
A middle-aged woman got out of the carriage behind, about forty years old, with sharp eyebrows and an indescribable gloomy air about her.
This is Zuorong, the prime minister of Beihe, and Huimin's most trusted confidant.
She stepped forward to salute, with a condescending look on her face, standing upright without even bending her head: "Thank you, His Highness King Xuan, for coming to greet me."
"polite."
Xiao Yihan's expression was indifferent and he didn't say much. When he came to the leader's carriage, his voice was cold and distant: "I'm going down to King Xuan of the Western Liang Dynasty to greet His Royal Highness the Crown Princess."
There was no movement in the carriage, but from the carriage next to it, Murong Longyue was helped out by the maid. She had a delicate appearance, snow-skinned lips, and a beautiful color.
She glanced at Xiao Yihan, her beautiful eyes turned with autumn water, and her eyes were a bit stunning.
Murong Longyue stepped forward and saluted Yingying: "Your Royal Highness Longyue has met His Royal Highness Prince Xuan."
"Yeah." Xiao Yihan responded indifferently.
His cold attitude made Murong Longyue a little unhappy, but her beautiful eyes couldn't help but wander around him.
Xiao Yihan ignored her gaze, stood in front of the carriage and called again: "Your Highness the Crown Princess"
Before he finished speaking, the car curtain was opened and a woman came out.
Xiao Yihan raised his eyes, his breath stagnated, and his eyes were blank.
How come they are so similar!
Especially the pair of fox eyes, as if they were carved from the same mold, as well as the frail figure and sickly white face, are very similar to Wen Nianruan.
Being stared at by a man like this, Murong Qingying panicked. When she got out of the car, she accidentally stepped on the ground and fell forward.
Xiao Yihan subconsciously caught her waist, and with a strong hand, he stopped her waist and took her off the carriage.
After landing, Murong Qingying quickly separated from him, keeping her distance, clenching her hands and looking down at a loss: "Thank you, His Highness King Xuan."
