The next day, Xiao Jue packed his luggage and prepared to leave for Beijing.
Xiao Chengyi, Ye Xiuchen and Mu Yun'an sent him out of the city. Everyone reluctantly said goodbye. Xiao Jue looked at them and said, "Okay, there's no need to send him off. I'll wait for you to come back in Nanyue."
Mu Yun'an warned: "Cousin, be careful on the road and don't rush. Safety is the most important thing."
"good."
Xiao Jue responded and left with the guards.
After they walked away, Mu Yunan asked Xiao Chengyi: "How long will we stay? I want to go home."
Xiao Chengyi smiled slightly and said: "Why don't I go and tell His Majesty that we will set off tomorrow."
Mu Yun'an's eyes lit up, and she looked a little surprised: "Really? But Miss Miaoyin's injury hasn't healed yet, so it wouldn't be good for us to leave like this, right?"
She touched her chin, seeming a little embarrassed.
This Miaoyin was an orphan and helpless girl, and now she was seriously injured. Moreover, she was injured to save Ye Xiuchen. It would be too ruthless to leave her here alone.
Xiao Chengyi frowned and said, "That's not good." After saying that, he looked at Ye Xiuchen and said, "How about you stay and take care of Miss Miaoyin, and Yan Yan and I go back first?"
Ye Xiuchen frowned and said, "You've all been here for so long, so it's only a few days, right?"
Xiao Chengyi said: "Didn't you hear Yan Yan say that she misses home? Besides, there is something important for you to stay. I have discussed it with His Majesty, and Nanyue and Nanjiang are planning to marry.
After the high priest ascends the throne, he will send the second princess to Nanyue to get married. At that time, you can escort the second princess' Luanjia back to Nanyue."
When Ye Xiuchen heard that the second princess was going to Nanyue to get married, his expression suddenly changed: "What did you say?"
Xiao Chengyi glanced at him and said, "The second princess of Southern Xinjiang, Jiang Ru, wants to marry Nanyue. What's wrong?"
Ye Xiuchen's handsome eyebrows wrinkled, and his heart suddenly became confused: "When did this happen? Why didn't I know? You asked the second princess to get married? She agreed? Who are you going to marry her to?"
Xiao Chengyi heard him ask several questions in succession, and even a fool could hear the concern and nervousness in them.
He said in a calm voice: "I don't know how happy the second princess is to know that she is going to marry Nanyue and be with Yan Yan. As for who to marry, there are so many princes and nobles in my Nanyue royal family. I will make whoever she likes a prince."
, how is it? What do you think?"
Ye Xiuchen's face froze. He felt that it was not good. Apart from the prince, was there any decent person in Nanyue?
He looked at Xiao Chengyi and asked, "Are you serious?"
Xiao Chengyi shrugged: "How do you think I'm not serious? Nanyue's attack on Southern Xinjiang can't just return without success, right?
I have to give an explanation to the courtiers and people of Nanyue and Southern Xinjiang, right? The marriage is for the good of both countries, and I have considered it carefully."
Ye Xiuchen was speechless for a while. He also knew that the marriage was for the good of both countries. He said sullenly: "Why is it the second princess? She is not the only princess in Southern Xinjiang."
Xiao Chengyi glanced at him and said: "She is more than one princess in Southern Xinjiang, but do you think the eldest princess is suitable? Or is the third princess suitable?"
Ye Xiuchen: "..."
He was sullen and silent.
Xiao Chengyi asked strangely: "What's wrong with you? Are you unwilling to marry the second princess to Nanyue? Could it be that you like her?"
Ye Xiuchen was startled. Did he like Jiang Ru? He didn't know. He had never liked any girl before, and he didn't know what it felt like to like someone.
