From Yin Enci's eyes, Chu Nanzhi could see that she had already made up her mind to defend the country to the death.
And through the contact with Lin Jinke these days, she also expected that this person would rebel sooner or later. The current situation of internal and external troubles was really hard on the old man.
At the moment, she only hopes that Pingning Prefecture can be peaceful and there will be no more troubles.
The thought had just arisen when a report from the chamberlain came from outside the door: "Forefathers, Taiwei Yin is asking for an audience."
Hearing that it was Yin Sinian who was asking for an audience, Yin Enci immediately had someone bring him in.
As soon as Yin Sinian stepped into the palace, Chu Nanzhi looked at the memorial in the hands of Lord Taiwei, with a sad face and a very unhappy look on his face.
Yin Enci sat down again, looked at Yin Sinian with a heavy gaze, and frowned: "What happened again to make the Lord Taiwei look miserable?"
"Old Ancestor, regarding the peace talks with the ten tribes of Baiyu, the courtiers have all submitted petitions demanding that Prince Xie be retained as a hostage and the Emperor of Baiyu be declared a vassal before they can seek peace. Otherwise, they would rather fight with him than compromise."
"It doesn't make sense."
Yin Enci said angrily: "Doesn't this force Baiyu to send troops?"
Although she didn't know why the Baiyu Kingdom asked Prince Xie to come to sue for peace in person, she was certain that once Xie Jingchen was detained, the main war forces of the Baiyu Kingdom would never take this into account. His brother Xie Jingzhan, who was born as a concubine, would definitely lead the army to suppress him.
border.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but glance at Chu Nanzhi, and said meaningfully: "Girl, do you think that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Baiyu Kingdom is strange? It is indeed different from ordinary people. He is a majestic prince of a country, even if he asks for peace again.
Sincerity should not be put at risk, which makes the Ai family feel embarrassed."
"It is not easy to detain Prince Xie within the empire at this time. If the Baiyu Kingdom is forced into a desperate situation and they collude with the Dongsang people to invade our border, I am afraid it will be difficult to deal with it."
Chu Nanzhi knew in her heart that she was suspicious of the scandal between herself and Xie Jingchen.
But even so, she had to express her inner thoughts.
After all, now that the war between the two countries has resumed, Lin Jinxiao not only has to face the King of Qinghe, but also has to be wary of foreign aggression. He is surrounded by enemies on all sides, so it is difficult to cope with it.
Yin Enci guessed that the person from Yong'an Palace must have been causing trouble in this matter. How could the empire survive the war now? The north was already causing a headache, and any further war with the south would definitely cause a serious loss of vitality for the empire.
After careful consideration, she first told Yin Sinian: "This matter will be discussed after the New Year's Day. You can go to Baohe Hall to prepare for the dinner."
Asking Hailian to send Yin Sinian away, Yin Enci looked at Chu Nanzhi and suddenly showed a sly smile: "Girl, the Ai family heard that you have a close friendship with Prince Xie. This time the Ai family wants you to keep him a secret."
Do you have any ideas for sending it back to the Baiyu Ten Clan?"
"My ancestors also disagreed with the courtiers' opinions and were unwilling to detain Prince Xie?"
Chu Nanzhi concealed her inner joy and asked calmly.
"The Aijia family of Baiyu Kingdom has heard a lot about it."
Yin Enci's eyebrows flashed slightly and she said with a smile: "In terms of ability and reputation, the direct Prince Xie is far inferior to his eldest brother, but unfortunately, this Prince Xie is deeply loved by the emperor. Even if he is incompetent, then what will happen to him?"
The emperor of Baiyu Kingdom was not willing to depose the prince. It was rare for the prince Xie to be so sincere. Naturally, the Ai family could not live up to his sincerity.
In order to promote peace talks between the two countries, only this person can hope to be in Baiyu. Otherwise, even if Prince Xie is detained, the war between the two countries will not be avoided. I am afraid that it will also give Xie Jingzhan a more sufficient reason to send troops.
"
"The ancestors were wise."
As soon as Chu Nanzhi finished speaking, Yin Enci pursed her lips and reprimanded: "You girl, it's like you have honey in your mouth today. Although the Ai family is happy, they have to remind you that you are Princess Pingning now, everything is settled."
Be cautious, the Ai family doesn't want to hear any more rumors between the two of you, so you must arrange this matter properly."
After a moment of silence, she couldn't help but sigh: "There is no other way. If the government is stable now, the Ai family will be willing to follow the wishes of the courtiers and detain Prince Xie, whether it is war or peace, he can be imprisoned."
We must firmly seize the initiative, but now we can no longer establish a formidable enemy."
"Although I cannot guarantee that I will be able to form a permanent alliance with the Baiyu Kingdom, I will work with my humble husband to persuade Prince Xie so that there will no longer be war between the two countries in a short period of time."
Thinking of what the disciple had said to him before, Chu Nanzhi also believed that this guy really wanted peace between the two countries, otherwise he would not have risked his life and come to the empire.
"hope so."
Yin Enci nodded thoughtfully: "It's getting late, let's accompany the Ai family to Baohe Hall."
On the way to Baohe Hall, Yin Enci kept holding Chu Nanzhi's hand tightly. After today, she didn't know if she would have the chance to see them, mother and son again in this life, so she cherished the last time together.
At this time, although Chu Nanzhi was unwilling to do so, she even took some chances. As long as her ancestors begged her, she was willing to stay in the capital and risk her life. After dealing with the Queen Mother, Queen Qinghe and her son, she could think of the little treasures.
She had to give up the idea.
After all, I am not alone now, and I can no longer move forward without any scruples as usual.
As a mother, she must think about the safety of the whole family.
As soon as the two arrived at the Baohe Hall, Tian Yuchan led a group of royal family members to greet them. She pretended to bow to Yin Enci, and then exchanged greetings with Chu Nan Zhi. After everyone sat down, she looked around.
, began to express his wishful thinking:
"Everyone who is supposed to be here is here today. Although it lacks the nefarious evil of King Nandu, it is still quite lively."
"Isn't the queen mother forgetting an important role?"
Tang Yulan followed her words, glanced at Chu Nanzhi and the quadruplets beside her, and reminded her deliberately.
"Look at my memory."
Tian Yuchan pretended to be ashamed and sighed: "What Yu Lan said is that now that Princess Pingning and her heirs have all entered the capital, she has an official status again and is taking care of the Tingwei Mansion for His Majesty. Pingning Prefecture is also in good weather.
It’s time for Jin Xiao’s child to go to Beijing to reunite with his family, how can we let the couple be separated for a long time?”
"That's what the Queen Mother said."
Lin Jinke also hurriedly echoed: "Speaking of which, I have never seen this brother before. I have long wanted to see King Pingning. He did not come to the capital to express his gratitude when he was granted the title. Now that the country is peaceful and the people are safe, it is just time for Xiaoxian brother to come to the capital to come to the capital to study.
Stay for a while."
"I would like to thank the Queen Mother and Brother Qinghe for their kindness."
Chu Nanzhi smiled unhurriedly and said: "It's just that the Dongsang people are here and there, and the Baiyu people are watching with eagerness. I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to leave the fiefdom."
At this point, he added: "Besides, his leg disease often attacks, and he really can't stand the fatigue of this journey."
Lin Jinke, however, frowned and said disapprovingly: "Brother Yu heard that Brother Xiaoxian personally conquered Changning County a while ago, and went deep into the hinterland alone, and captured the leader of the rebels in one battle."
"Isn't that just asking people to rush the ducks to the shelves, and being forced to do nothing?"
Chu Nanzhi glanced at Queen Mother Tian Yuchan deliberately.
The Queen Mother and King Qinghe recalled that Tang Ru lost his army and was surrounded by rebels. Lin Jinqian went to Pingning Prince's Mansion to make a fuss and threatened Lin Jinxiao with death to send troops. They knew that they were wrong and fell silent.
