The concubine escaped and cried when she met the prince again

Chapter 208 They are afraid of attacking Bei Ming

Xia Weiwei paused for a moment and said to him, "Of course, if you mind, you can go and ask our father to cancel this marriage."

Shan Mingyuan suddenly stepped forward, pinched her chin tightly, and said to her coldly: "You, a princess, can't do it, how can I, a minister, do it?"

After saying this, he turned away from Xia Weiwei with a look of disdain and left. However, before he had taken a few steps, he turned back and said to Xia Weiwei, "Since the princess is willing to get married, then go back to the capital and leave tomorrow."

Ying Huan's belly was getting bigger and bigger, and he had to complete his marriage with the princess before she died.

Otherwise, if his concubine gave birth to a child before his principal wife married him, it would be a disgrace to the old emperor, which would be bad.

"General, the princess..." Xia Weiwei's two maids heard that they would leave for Beijing tomorrow. They wanted to explain Xia Weiwei's physical condition to Shan Mingyuan, but Xia Weiwei interrupted them and said, "Ben'er, Fang'er, you two should hurry up and pack your luggage."

Ben'er looked at Xia Weiwei with a distressed expression and said, "Princess, you just vomited a lot of blood. It's not suitable for you to travel!"

Xia Weiwei gave the two maids a forced smile and said, "No problem."

Her heart is already dead, so what is the point of keeping this body?

If it weren't for her mother's words, echoing in her ears over and over again, she thought that living one more day would be torture.

But she couldn't, she still had a mother and a brother, and her brother needed Shan Mingyuan's support, so she could only marry him!

But, her Ziqian, how can she forget him and let him go? She really loves him!

Whenever Xia Weiwei thought of Shen Ziqian, she felt so heartbroken that she couldn't help herself.

After hearing what their master said, the two maids had no choice but to resign themselves to their fate and pack up their things.

Here, Shen Ruolan and the others had been waiting at the city gate for a long time. Seeing Shen Ziqian coming back with a dejected look on his face, she stepped forward and asked with concern, "Cousin, are you okay?"

Shen Ziqian looked at Shen Ruolan, looking a little uncomfortable, and said, "Sister Lan, I'm sorry for what happened just now. I..."

Shen Ruolan said to Shen Ziqian: "Cousin, I understand, but sometimes running away can lead to lifelong regrets."

From the actions of the two just now, Shen Ruolan could tell that they had feelings for each other, but she didn't know why her cousin rejected her so cruelly.

After Shen Ruolan's words, Shen Ziqian shook his head and smiled bitterly at her: "Sister Lan, the Shen family has an ancestral precept that the sons of the Shen family, especially the eldest son, must not marry a wife who has any connection with the court of another country. Otherwise, it will be regarded as a great disrespect for filial piety and will be expelled from the Shen family."

When Xia Weiwei kept pestering him, he refused. However, he didn't know since when, he started to get used to the little girl who chattered in his ear all day long.

Finally, after much careful consideration, he asked Xia Weiwei about her true identity. She said that she was the daughter of a landlord and her family had a small fortune.

At that time, he looked at the girl with a playful smile on her face, believed it and accepted her feelings. Until one day, when he saw the secret decree sent to her by the Emperor of Xia, he realized that he had been deceived by her.

You know, the Shen family's rules have been known to everyone in the world for hundreds of years. As a princess of a country, it is impossible for her not to know about the Shen family's affairs.

More importantly, the men in the Shen family all have a shortcoming, which is that once they identify someone they like, they will be devoted to her for the rest of their lives.

It took him three years to forget this relationship. He thought he had let it go, but when he saw her sad and crying, he still felt sad.

After listening to her cousin's words, Shen Ruolan fell silent in her heart. No wonder the Shen family has remained standing for hundreds of years. It turned out that it was all related to the smart ancestors.

Everyone knows that serving the emperor is like serving a tiger. The Shen family chose to live in peace in a corner and focus on studying their own medical skills. They did not participate in or ask about the affairs of the courts of other countries and did not offend anyone, so they have been able to stay out of trouble until now.

Shen Ruolan sighed and said to Shen Ziqian, "Then my cousin and that girl just now, I'm afraid they can only leave regrets in this life?"

Shen Ziqian said bitterly, "Yes, she and I are destined to be regrets in this life."

After saying that, he changed the subject to Shen Ruo and said, "Sister Lan, if there is nothing you need, let's go."

"Okay." Seeing that Shen Ziqian didn't want to mention what happened between him and the girl just now, Shen Ruolan didn't force it anymore and turned around and got into the carriage.

After Shen Ruolan sat down, Shen Ziqian got on the carriage himself and asked Mu Jin and Yao Tong to drive the carriage away.

In the following days, Shen Ziqian and his team kept on traveling, and after they entered the territory of Yan State, their speed gradually slowed down.

Shen Ruolan sat in the carriage, and whenever the two children fell asleep, she would never stop writing and drawing.

On this day, when she was painting with great enthusiasm, suddenly a group of dark troops came into her sight. She quickly stopped the pen in her hand, stretched her head to look outside, and saw that they were groups of soldiers, which made her face suddenly become serious.

When there are large numbers of soldiers moving around, there is no doubt that there is either civil unrest in the country or there is a war with another country.

Shen Ruolan was silent for a moment, then asked Mu Jin outside the carriage, "Mu Jin, are these soldiers from the State of Yan?"

If Shen Ruolan remembered correctly, they had just entered the territory of Yan State yesterday, so these soldiers should be from Yan State.

Mu Jin looked at the soldiers passing by her one by one. Combining the information she had gathered before, she thought for a moment and whispered to Shen Ruolan, "Madam, these are soldiers from the Yan State. I'm afraid they are going to attack Bei Ming."

When Shen Ruolan heard that Yan State was going to attack Bei Ming, her eyebrows could not help but jump. She looked around and asked Mu Jin in a low voice: "Mu Jin, is the news reliable?"

Although she had no feelings for Bei Ming, she didn't want her own home to be affected, so she was very concerned about this matter.

Mu Jin said, "To answer Madam's question, Yan State had been stirring up trouble on the border for half a year before this. Now that they have sent out a large number of troops, I'm afraid they don't want to wait and want to start fighting directly."

After she finished speaking, she paused and continued, "I heard that the drought in Yan State is also very serious, but the situation is much better than that in Beiming. So, they probably want to take advantage of the situation before Beiming recovers."

The State of Yan has done this kind of thing many times. After being severely beaten by their master five years ago, they have been quiet for a few years, but are now starting to make moves again.

After listening to Mu Jin's words, Shen Ruolan nodded in understanding and said nothing more. She continued to draw the picture in her hand. The group of soldiers who just passed by were also drawn in.

Not far away from Shen Ruolan and the others, a man ran to the front and reported to the general leading them: "General Wei, I have checked it out. The carriage that just passed by was from the Shen family of Medicine King Valley. Do we need to do anything else?"
