Dressed As a Consort In Ancient Times

Chapter 85

The timing was just right at this time, Jin State exerted tremendous pressure on Yun State, and Yun State would no longer think about continuing to invade under the preoccupation of self-preoccupation.

Therefore, the marriage must be completed as soon as possible, and then the documents representing the truce between the two countries should be signed, and there will be nothing wrong with it.

After all, Emperor Yu didn’t know how long Jin’s garrison would stay at the border, and he didn’t dare to bet that the Jin Congress would suddenly withdraw its troops and remove all pressure.

Although he is a father, he is still the emperor of Yu Kingdom.

Jiang Libai already understood this fact. Her father really planned to use Fifth Sister alone in exchange for peace between the two countries.

Even though Yu Kingdom and Yun Kingdom had many conflicts in the past, as long as they can negotiate peace, her father will not care about it anymore…

To say I’m not disappointed would be a lie.

But in Jiang Libai’s heart, there is more pain of being powerless and unable to change anything.

“Princess, the emperor has been busy for many days.” Eunuch Sun turned around and was about to knock on the door. “If the princess insists on seeing the emperor, then the slave will go and pass it on?”

No matter how ignorant Jiang Libai was, she also saw that Eunuch Sun didn’t really want to pass on the biography for her, and also knew that her father didn’t want to see her at the moment.

“No need.”

Jiang Libai bowed towards the hall, put away all her sorrows, and whispered to Eunuch Sun: “Let father and emperor rest earlier. No matter how busy the state affairs are, you must take care of your health.”

Walking in the wind and snow, Qin’er held an umbrella for her to cover the snow that started to fall again.

She quietly glanced at the seventh princess in front of her, hesitated for a long time, and asked cautiously: “Princess, are you worried about the fifth princess?”

Jiang Libai stared blankly at the dark night, she was still immersed in the pervasive sadness, “Yes, Fifth Sister is weak, if she goes to Yun Country, she might not be able to acclimatize. And…to marry Emperor Yun as a concubine, Fifth Sister How can you live well under the hands of other concubines with such a temperament that is indifferent to the world?”

“The mountains are high and the roads are far away. If Fifth Sister is wronged, there will be no one to support her.”

Thinking of this, she turned around, ready to go and see her Fifth Sister.

Arriving at Cuiwei Palace, where Jiang Ying is temporarily staying tonight, Jiang Libai is told that the fifth princess has not returned to the palace yet and cannot see her.

Thinking that Fifth Sister was probably out to relax, Jiang Libai stayed for a while, and finally seeing that the palace gate was about to be locked today, she didn’t wait any longer and left quietly.

After going to Qinchun Pavilion to pick up Gu Yun and Xing Xing, Jiang Libai declined her concubine’s idea of letting her go to Changchun Palace again, and boarded the carriage back home.

Jiang Libai leaned against the window, raised a corner of the curtain, and watched the majestic and splendid palace gradually disappear behind him.

“Princess, it’s windy outside, let’s put down the car curtain.” Gu Yun rarely saw such a lonely back of her.

Jiang Libai slowly lowered the curtain of the car, and leaned on the soft cushion a little tiredly, “Everyone is born in the royal family, enjoys the splendor of wealth, and can live a much more wanton life than ordinary people.”

“But many times, we are just like ordinary people about many things. We have no choice at all and can only be forced to accept.”

Just like before she lost her virginity and became pregnant, for the sake of the royal family’s face, she could only obey her father’s wishes and choose a son-in-law to marry.

Now, in order to stop the war at the border as soon as possible, her fifth sister also had to go to Yun Country to get married. Under such circumstances, no one cared about Fifth Sister’s thoughts at all. But thinking about it… Fifth Sister probably wouldn’t refuse.

Because it is their people who suffer at the border, if she is not married and she is chosen to marry, even if she is reluctant to part with her father, mother and concubine, she will agree in the end.

Giving up one’s own body can be exchanged for hard-won peace.

This is something they can’t change, and it’s something they have to do.

Gu Yun sat beside her, patted her on the shoulder gently, and comforted her gently: “Everyone has their own difficulties and things that cannot be changed. At this time, what can everyone do? The most important thing is to live well, whether it is for the people you care about or the things you care about.”

Jiang Libai leaned her head on Gu Yun’s shoulder, feeling the warmth in her arms, “I want to see Fifth Sister tomorrow.”

“Okay, shall I go with you?”

Jiang Libai thought of Gu Yun,

He will also be left in the garden because of his “male” status, so he doesn’t want her to be exposed to the cold wind outside, “You stay at home with Xing Xing, I will go alone.”

…

However, on the second day, when Jiang Libai went to the fifth princess’s mansion, he was once again rejected.

Qiu Ju came out and told her in person that the fifth princess was preparing for a marriage, so she had no time to see her.

Helpless, Jiang Libai had no choice but to tell Qiu Ju to take good care of her fifth sister, and then stepped heavily on the carriage home.

…

In less than ten days, the guard of honor for Princess Jiayi’s wedding set off from the palace.

In order to show the importance attached to this matter, the dowry accompanying the marriage was very generous, amounting to hundreds of liters. When the Luan sedan chair of the fifth princess arrived at the gate of the city, the last dowry had not yet left the palace gate.

So much so that after the guard of honor disappeared from everyone’s sight, the crowd still sighed sincerely that she was worthy of being the princess of the Tian family, and the dowry was so rich that it was enviable.

“Now that I’m gone, I don’t know when I’ll see Fifth Sister again.” Standing on the wall of the palace gate, Jiang Libai looked sleepy.

Although she was sad, but fortunately the good news from the border had come, comforting her heart.

…

Yunguo delivered the news, and when Princess Jiayi’s guard of honor arrived at Yunguo’s capital, he would immediately send someone to deliver the peace talks documents, and the troops stationed at the border would be withdrawn.

Everyone was very happy about this matter, and said that they could finally stop worrying about the war.

However, the joy in the capital had not completely dissipated when the news spread from the palace that the emperor suddenly vomited blood and fainted.

“What?!” Upon hearing this, Jiang Libai stood up in shock, “Father is fine, why did he suddenly vomit blood and pass out???”

Chunxi who came to report the news hurriedly replied: “The imperial physician is still treating the emperor in the Qianming Palace. The specific reason has not been announced yet.”

The worried Jiang Libai brought Gu Yun into the palace together, and when he came to the side hall of Qianming Palace, he saw Concubine Yuan Gui who also came anxiously.

“Mother and Concubine, has the imperial physician come out?”

Concubine Yuan Gui sat on the wooden chair, looked at the inner room with the closed door, her eyes couldn’t hide her worry, “Physician Zhao is still inside.”

Just now she had asked Eunuch Sun, who was serving the emperor personally, but Eunuch Sun didn’t know how the emperor was so well behaved, why he suddenly fainted.

However, Eunuch Sun revealed that the emperor had been busy dealing with political affairs a few days ago, and was so worried that he couldn’t sleep all night because of the war with Yunguo.

It’s probably because of being too tired.

Concubine Yuan Gui picked up her handkerchief, wiped away the tears overflowing from the corners of her eyes, and muttered with some self-reproach: “I should persuade him to take a good rest…”

But it is useless to repent at this time, I only hope that the emperor will be safe and sound.

After a while, several imperial physicians came out surrounded by Imperial Physician Zhao.

All looked dignified and said nothing.

Concubine Yuan Gui walked over, her lips trembling, “What’s wrong with the emperor?!”

Several imperial doctors looked at me and I looked at you, all hesitating how to speak.

In the end, they all set their sights on Imperial Physician Zhao.

“Reporting to your empress, the humble minister is incompetent and cannot find the reason why the emperor suddenly fainted…”

Several imperial physicians had tried their best, but after their diagnosis, none of them could find the cause of the emperor’s sudden fainting.

“Fortunately, nothing major happened to the emperor, and now he seems to be asleep…”

This is also the reason why the few of them dared to leave the inner room. As long as the emperor is still alive and does not continue to show symptoms of discomfort, the imperial concubine will not kill them.

Hearing that the emperor is fine for the time being, Concubine Yuan Gui ordered the imperial physician Zhao to prepare some medicine for the emperor, and must make the emperor wake up as soon as possible.

Then she signaled Jiang Libai not to worry, and went into the inner room to visit the sleeping emperor.

…

For several days, Emperor Yu was still in a coma, and there was no sign of waking up.

After waiting for seven days, word spread among the Ministers of Civil and Military Affairs.

The emperor is sick and may not be able to deal with the government anymore.

Therefore, everyone’s minds became active, and they planned to support a prince to temporarily supervise the country.

But many ministers have their own ideas on whether to support the third prince Jiang Heng or the fifth prince Jiang Wei.

The third prince is older, but he has always been leisurely and has never participated in government affairs.

After the previous assassination, the fifth prince’s body is not as good as before, and now he can barely take a walk.

Therefore, the ministers quarreled over who would oversee the country, but none of them came to a conclusion.

Just as the matter fermented and became more and more intense, the third prince, who had never touched political affairs before, stepped forward.

Standing in the court hall, under the guise of filial piety, he only said that he was temporarily helping his father who was bedridden to recover from his illness, and when his father recovered, he would hand over all the power in his hands.

A few ministers who supported the fifth prince expressed dissatisfaction, but he reprimanded them and went back on the grounds of disrupting the government and trying to disturb the emperor’s rest.

The other ministers looked at each other in blank dismay, but in fact they all understood in their hearts that the third prince clearly wanted to lick the black hats of those people!

So under such a thunderous method, the rest of the people shut up and stopped questioning.

After all… It is still unknown whether the emperor can wake up, and the third prince controls the government in this way.

The trick here…

The ministers in the court did not dare to think about it any more.

It’s just that after retreating from the court, several important officials did not leave the palace, but went to Qianming Palace, saying that they wanted to see the emperor.

But the emperor didn’t see him, only Concubine Yuan Gui with a sad face.

Several of them are royalists, they are the emperor’s confidantes, so they can guess the emperor’s intentions.

They informed Concubine Yuan Gui of today’s court affairs, and then asked worriedly: “… I don’t know what happened to the emperor, why can’t he go to court for a few days?”

“The third prince, in the name of filial piety, wants to control the government… I don’t know how to deal with this matter?”

Concubine Yuan Gui had already learned about the third prince’s intention to supervise the country.

She closed her eyes, and replied exhaustedly: “The imperial physicians have searched all over their medical skills, but they can’t diagnose what’s wrong with the emperor.”

“Now I’m guarding the Qianming Palace, and I can’t leave for a moment. I hope that the elders will take care of the outside affairs.”

“As for Jiang Heng’s supervision of the country… I will inform General Zhao.”

Concubine Yuan Gui’s biological father was General Zhao, a veteran stationed at the border. After finishing supporting the war in Jinzhou, he had rushed back to Minzhou with his soldiers.

According to what Concubine Yuan Gui said, if the Third Prince makes any changes, he will ask General Zhao to lead troops into Beijing to **** him…

After understanding this layer, the worries in the hearts of several people were a little less.
