Yuan Chen raised his eyebrows and said, "I want you to help her become the queen of southern Xinjiang."
"What?"
Chu Heng was shocked. He looked at Yuan Chen with wide eyes and said, "You are not necessarily too fanciful to let a woman be the king of Southern Xinjiang?"
Xiao Jialan glanced at him and said, "Why, do you look down on women?"
Chu Heng did not dare to argue with her, he said: "I just think this is incredible. It is not easy for a man to be king, let alone a woman? Yuan Chen, is your idea really feasible?"
Yuan Chen said: "Don't underestimate women. Once you have something you want to protect, women are as powerful as men.
This is the only way to take over Southern Xinjiang, it depends on whether Prince Chu dares to take this risk?"
Chu Heng said: "What am I afraid of? Leave this matter to me, but where should I go to find this Miss Duan?"
Xiao Chongjun said: "I have already arranged that when you arrive in southern Xinjiang, you will have someone to pick you up and help you find the whereabouts of this young lady."
Chu Heng said unexpectedly: "You even know where she is hiding? Then why not inform the King of Southern Xinjiang about this? Wouldn't it be better if the criminals of the Duan family deceive the king, alienate the King of Southern Xinjiang and the Duan family, and cause civil strife?"
Yuan Chen smiled and said: "You think things are too simple. The King of Southern Xinjiang is afraid of the power of the Duan family. Even if this matter is exposed, the King of Southern Xinjiang will not do anything to the Duan family?
In the end, it wasn't even Duan Qingli who was implicated, but the man who eloped with her.
Therefore, whether this matter was informed or not, it was the man who died in the end.
I asked you to go to Southern Xinjiang to save this person. I will write a letter, and you can just hand the letter to Duan Qingli after you find her."
Chu Heng looked at Yuan Chen and said after a while: "You are indeed bold in your actions, and what you have done is even more amazing.
I heard before that you selected the new top scholar to be the prime minister, and I thought you were acting ridiculously, but since you have been in Nanyue for more than a month, Beichen has been leading everything smoothly under the leadership of the young prime minister, which shows that you have really good vision."
When Xiao Chongjun heard Chu Heng praise Yuan Chen, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Don't I have a good taste?"
Chu Heng bowed her hands towards him and said, "Your Majesty agrees to this marriage. He has such a powerful brother-in-law, and he has excellent vision."
Xiao Chongjun laughed loudly, took out an imperial edict from the table and said: "I have already written the decree granting marriage. General Zhou has handed over his military power. Naturally, I will not wrong his daughter, so I specially confer Zhou Jingyi on it."
How do you feel about being the Princess of Yongchang?"
Chu Heng stood up and saluted: "Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty."
Xiao Chongjun handed the imperial edict to the chamberlain to deliver it, and he said: "You and Miss Zhou have a happy marriage. My sister and brother-in-law have worked hard and made great achievements.
It's just that you are going to southern Xinjiang this time and your return date is uncertain. You two are inseparable at this time. If you leave Miss Zhou alone in Beijing, you may not be in the mood to do anything, so why not take her with you and treat it as if you are going out to have fun."
"this......"
Chu Heng was a little hesitant. After all, the journey was far away and southern Xinjiang was a strange place. He was also afraid of encountering any danger and did not want Zhou Jingyi to be involved in danger.
Just as he was about to refuse, Xiao Jialan said: "If you keep Zhou Jingyi here, aren't you afraid that she will be snatched away by Li Jinan?
After hearing this, Chu Heng lost all his thoughts and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your support. I will take good care of Jingyi."
Xiao Jialan held back her smile and said with satisfaction: "That's right. Children can be taught."
The corners of Chu Heng's lips twitched and he said: "Then I can't marry you?"
Xiao Jialan waved her hand and said, "You don't need to send me away. Just complete the task assigned to you by Yuan Chen and return to Beijing safely with Miss Zhou."
If you have time, you can take Miss Zhou to see me in Beichen."
