Qianqianjie, kidnap a reborn prince back to the modern era

Chapter 362: Old Stories in the Marquisate

Today's treatment was finally completed. Empress Yue was grateful for Baili Qianyou's treatment, and she also wanted to hear what this little woman who had caused turmoil in the four countries was thinking, and whether she could help in any way.

"I was kidnapped by His Majesty. Can I decide whether to go or stay?"

Baili Qianyou had a gentle, respectful and sincere look on his face, which was very different from the mysterious figure who had caused changes in the four countries and was the subject of much speculation.

"I have inquired about the past events. It was the Marquis of Zhenguo Shi Hai who kidnapped you. Your Majesty was not aware of this at first."

"Oh!"

Qian You readily followed the advice and responded to the queen with gentle eyes.

Without the Emperor's approval, would the Marquis of Zhenguo have the guts to kidnap her and bring her to the palace?

Does it still matter who kidnapped him?

Don’t they know the saying that it is easier to invite gods than to send them away?

The Three Kingdoms deployed troops on the border of Beiyan, besieged it but did not attack, and did not give any reason, yet rumors spread throughout Beiyan itself.

They captured their future queen, their elder sister, and their adopted sister. The emperors of the Three Kingdoms all came to the border of Beiyan in person. They did not directly lead their troops northward, which was already a great restraint.

Bei Yan was disrespectful this time, and the people were spontaneously discouraged.

There is an endless stream of condemnation against those responsible for causing the dire situation.

However, there was still no conclusion in the court, which led to constant speculation and further caused public resentment in Beiyan.

"Hey, speaking of the state guardian Shi Hai and the man called Yin Jie, I know a thing or two about him."

The Queen spoke slowly.

"Oh?"

For the first time, Qianyou showed some interest in the conversation.

During this month, she behaved in a gentle and kind manner. Apart from communicating with Yan Zhicangmin, she never spoke much to anyone else, and no one could grasp her emotional changes and communication intentions.

Empress Yue's eyes were somewhat profound, as if she was recalling the distant past.

“When I was young, I was a neighbor to the current Marquis of Zhenguo, Lady Lu Xian, and we were close friends.

At that time, Your Majesty had just raised the banner of conquest, and not many troops had been gathered.

Zhenguo Hou Shi Hai was extremely brave in the army and was highly valued by His Majesty. He was promoted quickly and was appointed as the general after several battles.

After the state affairs were stabilized, he was granted the General's Mansion.

Because he was young and had military power, many people came to propose marriage to him, including the Minister of Personnel Lu Ming. The two families quickly arranged his marriage with Lu Xian.

Before the wedding, Lu Xian came to me crying and said that Shi Hai had a mistress and they had a son.

She opened a scroll, and the picture showed a young girl holding a boy of two or three years old.

Shi Hai proposed to her that they should bring the mother and son into the house after their marriage, but she was naturally unwilling.

She left after crying, and I saw her fierce expression.

For a long time after they got married, there was no news that Shi Hai had a concubine's eldest son.

Based on my understanding of Lu Xian, she cannot tolerate any sand in her eyes.

I guess the mother and son may have been killed.

Until one day, in the palace, I saw Shi Hai, who was already the Marquis of Zhenguo, coming to pay a visit to Your Majesty with a young man. The young man looked exactly like the boy in the scroll that I remembered.

I sent someone to inquire and found out that it was his adopted son, named Yin Jie.

So, Yin Jie is Shi Hai’s biological son.

They are of one mind, father and son, and they must want to put you to death. Now that you can stay safely in the palace, His Majesty has done what he should do."

The Queen's words meant that she wanted to completely shift the blame for her kidnapping onto the father and son of the Marquis of Zhenguo, in order to alleviate her hatred towards Emperor Beiyan.

But Qian You was very surprised by the Queen's words.

Based on the few years that she and Yin Jie have known each other, she can tell that Yin Jie is a meticulous person, but also narrow-minded and vindictive. He shouldn't have used himself as a gun for the Marquis of Zhenguo and a stepping stone for the unlearned Third Young Master of the Marquis of Zhenguo's mansion, knowing full well that he is the biological son of the Marquis of Zhenguo and that his biological mother's death was related to the Marquis of Zhenguo and his wife. Isn't this completely different from his character?

During this period, through Yan Zhi and Cang Min, she got to know a little about the officials and family affairs of Beiyan court, especially the Marquis of Zhenguo.

She knew that the wife of the Marquis of Zhenguo's legitimate son died in childhood and never had any more children.

She was very capable in managing her harem, and all the concubines were very respectful to her. Although the only healthy son in the family was born out of wedlock, he was raised by the wife of the Marquis of Zhenguo. He was an uneducated man, but had some reputation in the playboy circle in the royal capital.

Mrs. Lu's sister entered the palace as a concubine and gave birth to a prince, who was made the crown prince. Concubine Lu also needed to borrow the military strength of the Marquis of Zhenguo to consolidate her own power, so she often summoned her to accompany her.

But every time she entered the palace, she never paid a visit to the Queen Mother.

The two had almost never met each other, which made Yan Zhi a little confused, so she asked.

"Mother, didn't I realize that you and the wife of the Marquis of Zhenguo were very close friends?"

"After that incident, I found that Lu Xian was very different from the gentle and considerate person she acted in front of me. She was vicious and cruel in the backyard, and I didn't like her. I gradually distanced myself from her. After you were born, I rarely met her again."

Empress Yue gently stroked her daughter's black hair.

She has been neither happy nor angry, never fights or competes since she was a child. She married Yan Rui as his legal wife and they once loved and lived happily.

However, as the situation changed, Yan Rui raised the banner of rebellion. Although he went through a period of anxiety, he finally stabilized.

He made her his queen, and she knew very well that the harem was a tool to balance the political situation, so she took the initiative to choose concubines for him.

There were new people in the harem who were constantly being promoted, and she just did her job well and raised her two daughters carefully.

Fortunately, her efforts paid off and her two daughters were kind-hearted.

The eldest princess married Prime Minister Xiao's eldest son, and they lived happily together, which made her very pleased.

The younger daughter was still unmarried, and although she was often summoned by His Majesty to the Imperial Study to obey His Majesty's orders, she did not like her daughter to be at the pinnacle of power, but she had no choice.

Fortunately, Cang Min suddenly came to Beiyan and was valued by Emperor Rui. He was also the person her daughter had admired since childhood. She was quite satisfied and felt at ease.

......

A villa in the suburbs of the royal capital.

Cangyu used a secret method to contact the great elder who had come to Beiyan before, and met him in a villa in the suburbs, and stayed there.

Qiao Mu, Qiao Nan and Qi Luobai had arrived here earlier, half a month earlier than Cang Yu, and had already begun to make arrangements in the royal capital.

“This is a separate courtyard of Prime Minister Xiao’s residence in Beiyan. It is very safe. Your Majesties can rest assured.

When I learned that Qian You was kidnapped, she entered the palace that day, and I missed the opportunity to rescue her on the way.

In the palace, she took the initiative on the first day and asked Emperor Beiyan to give her the right to move freely in the palace.

I think she doesn't want to leave the palace for the time being, so I'm staying put and waiting for you to arrive."

The Great Elder did not seem very worried and comforted his disciple who had black eyes.

Xiao Qing was an old minister of the previous dynasty.

When the Great Elder met the emperor of the previous dynasty, he was always waiting by his side, and over the years, the two of them have been close friends.

This time the Great Elder came to Beiyan and was introduced to the Emperor of Beiyan by Prime Minister Xiao. Yan Rui attached great importance to him and invited him to have a chat several times.

Because Qian You suddenly appeared in the palace, he changed his plan and did not reply to Emperor Bei Yan who was anxious to see him. He wanted to wait for Cangyu Qiaomu to see what arrangements they had.
