It was half a month later when the news reached Northern Xinjiang, and Xiling was completely in chaos.
The former third princess and now the princess of Northern Xinjiang went to the small courtyard at the back with red eyes.
The Ninth Princess put down the book in her hand and walked towards her, "Why is Third Sister here?"
After arriving in Northern Xinjiang, it was actually the third princess who married the King of Northern Xinjiang. The ninth princess had an embarrassing status and lived alone in the backyard of the palace with her personal maid, almost never leaving the house.
The third princess said with sad eyes, "The regent forced the emperor's brother to death."
Ninth Princess felt a pain in her chest and could not speak a word.
The third princess handed him the letter in her hand, "The emperor's brother is gone, the palace is gone, and the fire burned for seven days and seven nights. I don't know how other relatives are doing now..."
The Ninth Princess looked down at the words on the letter, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and she finally fell down.
The person she loved most forced her to death when she was a blood relative, and she could only watch helplessly as it happened.
Third Princess, "Call the imperial doctor over."
The Ninth Princess wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and said, "Third Sister, I'm just so angry that I don't need to call the imperial doctor."
The maids poured water and helped her sit down. After struggling for a while, the ninth princess fell completely silent.
The third princess said seriously, "Ninth sister, I don't care how deep your relationship was with the regent before. From now on, he is my enemy. He forced our blood relatives to death and destroyed the royal family."
The Ninth Princess was so heartbroken that she couldn't breathe, but with such a blood feud, there was no going back between them.
"You should have a good rest, I will try my best to avenge the emperor brother as soon as possible." The third princess said with a determined look.
The emperor placed all his final bets on her. The third princess understood how big her responsibility was and she would not lose.
No matter how difficult it is, she will definitely return to the imperial city, and she will use Qi Han's blood to pay homage to the royal family.
After that day, the Ninth Princess had constant nightmares every night, she became thinner and weaker day by day, and her body weakened rapidly.
The third princess visited her several times, advised her several times and asked her servants to take good care of her.
The King of Northern Xinjiang organized his troops to go out to attack Qi Han. As the princess, the third princess was naturally very busy and had no time to take care of the ninth princess.
It was a sunny day when the army set off for the expedition. The Ninth Princess was supposed to go to see her off, but in the end she didn't go.
She knew that in this expedition, you would die or I would live, and both sides were very important people to her.
The third princess even set off directly with the army, fully prepared for either Qi Hanqi or her death.
In the afternoon of the same day, the eldest maid of the third princess came to see her and said, "Greetings to the ninth princess."
"Get up, why did Third Sister ask you to come?" Ninth Princess asked weakly.
Haitang handed her a box, and Princess Ninth took it while lying on the rocking chair and opened it. Inside was fifty thousand silver notes and some land deeds.
"What do you mean, third sister?" Ninth Princess was puzzled.
Haitang explained softly, "The third princess has given instructions that if you are defeated in the future, her people left in northern Xinjiang will escort you out. These banknotes and things can ensure that you have enough food and clothing for the rest of your life."
Princess Ninth's eyes were red and her mood was complicated.
"You must take care of yourself, you and the princess are left to support each other." Haitang persuaded her for a while.
Princess Ninth didn't feel any better, she just felt panicked.
In the next two months, battle reports came one after another, and every time she heard them, her heart was shaken.
Both sides are important people to her. No matter who the news is, it is torture for her.
On this day, she wanted to stay alone for a while, leaning against a big tree and letting the sun shine on her.
Two little palace maids sneaked out quietly to be lazy, bringing some food with them and basking in the sun.
"The Ninth Princess looks like she is not going to die soon. She is weak."
The other person lowered his voice and said, "I heard that she has an unusual relationship with the regent, so I might feel uncomfortable."
"Tsk, tsk, when I was in Kyoto, I heard that relying on the favor of the regent, Zhang Yang was domineering. After the royal family was over, he followed the princess and did not suffer any grievances."
"Now that military pay is tight, the entire palace has cut down on expenses. But her place is either ginseng or bird's nest, and the only food in the palace is used. I heard that the princess specially said hello."
"My life is good. I used to be pampered by the emperor and regent, but now I am protected by the princess."
"I think she is the happiest one. She still looks like she is dying every day. The princess doesn't even scream. I heard that being in the army is very difficult..."
"They are both princesses, but there is such a huge difference. The princess is so powerful and strong that she goes out to take revenge herself. She is the one who is being sacrificed, but she looks like everyone owes her..."
The two people were chatting and laughing.
The ninth princess burst into tears behind the big tree, covering her mouth tightly and not daring to make a sound.
It turns out that in the eyes of others, she is such a useless and supercilious person.
She couldn't refute, she really felt sorry for everyone, and she didn't know why it had come to this point.
She became increasingly ill.
News soon came that the King of Northern Xinjiang was making great progress and stationed troops in a city not far from the imperial city to confront the regent.
The atmosphere in the palace became increasingly tense. Everyone knew that it was a critical moment for either you to die or for me to live.
The old princess came to see the ninth princess in person and advised her to be strong. She cheered up and finished paying off the old princess, then she lay exhausted on the bed.
"Lian'er, who do you think will win?"
Lian'er helped her up and wiped her sweat, "Who does the princess want to win?"
The Ninth Princess closed her eyes. No matter who lost or died, she could not accept it. She would only hide here and cry, while the tired third sister worried about her.
Those two maids were right, she was useless and useless.
In March, when all things revived and spring flowers bloomed, the Ninth Princess felt much better. She struggled to sit up.
"Bring me the wedding dress from the bottom of the box." She ordered.
It was specially given to her by Qi Han when she got married. This wedding dress was extremely exquisite and made of the finest silk threads from the best embroiderers.
The maids took out the wedding bride, which was dazzling red. She glanced at it and said softly, "Put it on for me."
Several maids looked at each other and asked, "Why does the princess suddenly want to wear a wedding dress?"
"Suddenly I want to wear it, cough..." She coughed and her face turned red.
The maids did not dare to disobey her, so they carefully put her into wedding clothes and put on makeup.
The Ninth Princess looked at herself in the mirror, tried her best to curl her lips, and smiled ugly.
She was helped to lie back on the bed, and fell asleep wearing a red wedding dress.
Everyone thought she had taken a nap. Although her behavior was a bit weird, they didn't dare to think or say anything more.
Princess Ninth recently had a new habit of not liking people in the room when she was resting, so after everyone in the room left, she suddenly opened her eyes and sat up slowly.
First, he walked to the desk nearby, picked up a pen and wrote a letter. He sorted the letters into categories, and then began to stare in the direction of the imperial city in a daze.
