Chapter 406: What You Gain Is What You Lose

Yan Li leaned on the bedside, recalling the scene when he first arrived in Mu Kingdom, and smiled faintly: "Yan Li is an orphan girl who was left in the care of the Taifu of Mu Kingdom. Her biological mother is Jiang Yi, the Queen of Jin Kingdom. But at that time, everyone thought that Jiang Yi is dead, so they are not kind to Yan Li, an orphan."

Xuanyuan Jiahe frowned: "Since he is a Taifu, he should be a noble family and a benevolent family. How come he doesn't even treat his granddaughter well?"

"Because Jiang Yi had a bad reputation at the time and was rumored to have eloped with others. She returned to the Jiang family and gave birth to a daughter after she became pregnant." Yan Li's voice was calm, "And because Jiang Yi had an agreement with the emperor, Yan Li was given the gift of She is married to the prince and is the prince's fiancée, but this marriage has been coveted by the Jiang family's granddaughter. In order to win the title of princess, they did not hesitate to team up with the prince to frame Yan Li. "

Xuanyuan Jiahe frowned: "So, the Jiang family is not a good person."

"When I just came over, Yan Li was wronged by the prince. Her uncle and aunt ordered someone to beat her up. A good girl was forced to death." Yan Li's expression was slightly cold, "But I have already avenged her. If she has her revenge, she should be able to reincarnate with peace of mind. "

"What a poor girl." Xuanyuan Jiahe frowned, with some pity on his face, "I hope she can live a better life in the next life."

Yan Li nodded: "She is an unfortunate person."

"Then the imperial sister was in a very difficult situation when she first arrived in the Mu Kingdom?" Xuanyuan Jiahe's expression tightened slightly, and he was obviously a little distressed, "She was alone, with no one she knew by her side, and the selfishness of everyone in the Jiang family. Things, how difficult life must be.”M.

"It's not difficult at all." Yan Li smiled gently, "The incident was so big that it alarmed Emperor Mu. He arrived at the Jiang family in person and brought me, an orphan, into the palace. He severely punished the prince and everyone in the Jiang family. , and made me a princess.”

"This emperor is quite wise, and evildoers should be severely punished." Xuanyuan Jiahe said, his expression a little embarrassed, and then the corners of his mouth turned up, "So the emperor specially asked for the title of Nanyang?"

"Yes." Yan Li rubbed her head, "Isn't this intentional to overwhelm you?"

Xuanyuan Jiahe smiled coquettishly.

"Prince Mu is an irresponsible person, selfish and dirty. After being severely punished by the emperor, Yan Li's marriage to him was naturally cancelled."

Xuanyuan Jiahe nodded: "Well done, this kind of person is not worthy of carrying the emperor's shoes."

"The emperor later wanted to grant me a new marriage, and I fell in love with the Ninth Prince." Yan Li said, with a slight pause in her tone. "At first, I only knew that he was the God of War. He was invincible on the battlefield. He was one of the four young men who became famous among the Nine Kingdoms. One of the people, I didn’t know that he had stayed in the South Country for so many years.”

"Then the emperor agreed?"

"Um."

Xuanyuan Jiahe thoughtfully said: "He is quite good to the imperial sister."

Yan Li smiled: "That time just passed, I was alone, and this body was too weak. Since the emperor wanted to grant me a marriage, I simply found the strongest one. Originally, I just wanted to temporarily reach a cooperative relationship, but I didn't expect that it would be wrong. By accident, Mu Cang already had his heart set on something."

Xuanyuan Jiahe raised his eyebrows: "The person he likes is the imperial sister herself?"

Yan Li nodded: "Yes."

"It seems that this is also fate." Xuanyuan Jiahe clicked his tongue, "But it may also be a deliberate arrangement by the high priest."

Since the high priest had already figured out that Mu Cang was the Pojun Star and only the Emperor Star could suppress it, and the high priest indeed brought the young Mu Cang to the Southern Kingdom fifteen years ago, then after Xuanyuan Xi and his death, It is not impossible for her soul to be reborn in an orphan girl.

After his rebirth, his identity was so close to that of Mu Cang, so he really answered the question of being close to the water, and it was natural for the two to have emotional contact.

Xuanyuan Jiahe smiled slightly: "The high priest is really an unfathomable person. It seems that everything is under his control, which makes people feel scary."

If people's destiny can be controlled arbitrarily, the world will be in chaos.

"No one is omnipotent." Yan Li frowned and said calmly, "Everything you gain must have something to lose. If you do something against heaven, you have to pay a price. This is true for emperors, and this is true for high priests."

Everyone should follow the rules of heaven and not act recklessly.

Xuanyuan Jiahe nodded slightly: "Yes."

A somewhat complicated look appeared on Yan Li's eyebrows, and she felt mixed emotions when thinking of the high priest who dedicated his life to praying for the Southern Kingdom's royal family and the common people.

"Sister Huang." Xuanyuan Jiahe was silent for a moment and then spoke again, "The Ninth Prince is so powerful, haven't you ever thought of becoming the emperor?"

"No." Yan Li shook his head, "He wanted to help me become the overlord of the world. At first, I was really inspired by him to fight. However, the more I experienced, the more I realized that peace is hard to come by. The emperor's responsibility is not to become the overlord of the world. But it depends on the safety of the people under his jurisdiction.”

Xuanyuan Jiahe nodded: "Sister Huang is right. Although the Southern Kingdom is the strongest among the nine countries in the world, the other countries have their own strength. No one is vulnerable. If a war really breaks out, it will inevitably cause chaos in the world. Who can None are immune."

Once a war begins, it can take as short as three to five to seven years or as long as ten or twenty years. The whole world will fall into an era of war and chaos. It is easy to start but difficult to end.

Therefore, Xuanyuan Jiahe felt that her imperial sister was really a wise and great king.

She has the broadmindedness and decisiveness of a man, and the kindness and softness of a woman.

She is smart and decisive, yet tolerant and gentle.

In Xuanyuan Jiahe's heart, Sister Huang is the best and best woman in the world, and no one can compare with her.

Even the Ninth Prince of Mu State can only be barely qualified.

Xuanyuan Jiahe thought secretly in his heart, but did not say such thoughts out loud, and quickly turned back to the previous topic: "After the emperor granted you marriage, did the Ninth Prince know the identity of the emperor's sister?"

Yan Li shook her head, thinking of Mu Cang's reaction at the time, at this moment she understood that Mu Cang's understanding of her had already penetrated into his bones. In addition to the traces of Tianshu Four and Hai Dongqing that made him doubt her identity, Mu Cang was probably already aware of other aspects.

After all, if you like someone, you will keep all her preferences and habits in your heart.

"It's getting late." Yan Li lay down on the bed, "Go to bed early."

"But I haven't heard enough." Xuanyuan Jiahe was a little reluctant, and fell down beside Yan Li, "Sister, tell me more."

"What else do you want to hear?"

"Well, just talk about you and the Ninth Prince."

Yan Li laughed: "There's nothing to say between him and me. We are both slow to warm up in our relationship, and there is not so much drama. But my marriage to Mu Cang caused public outrage in the Mu Kingdom. Those noble ladies regarded me as an enemy, which led to me dealing with hostile people frequently later."
