With the cannon fodder script in hand, it is easy for the king to change his fate

Chapter 386 It is your honor to die for the princess
Song Chong offered compensation on his own initiative and would send the real Ninth Princess over on a certain day.

As for the people he had sent over before, he didn't dare to rush to bring them back, otherwise the Northern Qi would definitely notice something was wrong. He could only secretly arrange for someone to protect Cui Jing, and it would be best if he could bring her back.

After thinking it over again and again, he decided to write a secret letter to Cui Yu, asking him to find a way to save Cui Jing. After all, Cui Jing was his daughter on the surface, so it was reasonable for the other party to be anxious.

Cui Yu was shocked when he saw the secret letter. He didn't expect that his daughter actually sent the real Ninth Princess to Northern Qi. Considering the other party's personality, she really could do such a thing.

It’s a good thing that Princess Nine is okay. If something happened, I can’t imagine what kind of anger the Cui family will have to endure.

We must find a way to bring Cui Jing back, but Your Majesty cannot appear to be in a hurry, so only the Cui family can find a solution.

So Cui Yu and Song Chong acted out another scene together. In his imperial edict, Song Chong felt very guilty and scolded the Ninth Princess for being naughty and causing Cui Jing to be like this. If Cui Jing could come back, he would confer the title of a princess on her and grant her a mansion. This would comfort Cui Yu's family, and outsiders would think that this emperor was a good one.

Cui Zhao and Cui Chen both knew about this. Cui Chen now wanted to kill Asui. His eyes were red and he wanted to fight to the death.

Cui Zhao was not calm this time. He just felt that Ah Qi was going too far: "She is a princess, but she shouldn't send her sister there. She enjoys the status of a princess. It is her duty to go to Northern Qi. Why did this disaster fall on her sister?"

"Brother, you used to think she wasn't bad, but now you see, she is bad to the core." Cui Chen wiped away tears, "My sister was sent there for no reason, and I don't know what happened to her. If she wasn't the ninth princess, I wouldn't let her go. Just because she is a member of the royal family, can she bully us at will?"

"I'm going to see the bride off and I must bring my sister back." Cui Chen said.

Cui Zhao paused, then followed suit: "Then I'll go too."

Cui Yu told his sons about this matter. He originally wanted one of them to go to Northern Qi. It was reasonable for the brother to want to bring his sister back since he loved her so much.

When he heard that Cui Zhao was also going, he stopped him, thinking that only one of them could go.

He was thinking that if something happened to the second son, he would still have one son left. It would be unacceptable if both sons were to be implicated because of this. If one son was lost, even if the Ninth Princess was not brought back, His Majesty should be able to calm down and not blame the Cui family.

It is a rule that envoys from two countries would not be killed, but the Northern Qi was an exception. The people there were ferocious and crazy, as if they had some serious illness.

So much time has passed that he is a little worried whether the Ninth Princess can come back alive. He hopes she can.

Just like that, Asui was tied into the carriage.

Cui Chen also joined the wedding procession. On the way, while others were not paying attention, he secretly lifted the curtain of the carriage. He thought he would see her unwilling look on her face, but he didn't expect her to be very calm sitting in the carriage, leaning gently to one side, as if she was not tied up.

He quickly came back to his senses, and said in a low but angry voice: "If anything happens to Jing'er, I won't let you go. I thought you were just a little bit willful and capricious, but I didn't expect you to be so vicious! You harmed Jing'er like this. Just because you are the ninth princess, can you be so careless about Jing'er's life and death? After all, you grew up together, so why are you so disregarding our relationship?"

"If you weren't the Ninth Princess, would you be able to let this go so easily after doing this?"

"You should know that you are the ninth princess. If you enjoy wealth and glory, you must pay for it. Jing'er is just the daughter of a county magistrate. She has not enjoyed the glory of a princess and should not suffer for you. She has been gentle and kind since she was a child. She should not have encountered these things. How could you hurt her like this? You have a cruel heart." Cui Chen became more and more sad. He even wanted to kill her, but he couldn't. She had to go to Northern Qi as a hostage. If he didn't send her there, he couldn't bring Jing'er back.

"Don't try to take advantage of everything."

Ah Qi didn't say anything and just looked at him indifferently. Cui Chen just felt bored and was about to lower the curtain of the carriage.

Ah Qi's voice rang out: "So as a princess, you can't let your daughter die in your place?"

"Of course not!" Cui Chen said angrily, but he tried to keep his voice down. "This has nothing to do with Jing'er. It's something that you, the princess, have to bear. Why should you let Jing'er go? I know that you are jealous of Jing'er and you want to harm her because you can't bear to see her doing well."

"I really hate her. Not only her, but also everyone in your Cui family."

"The other day Madam Cui told me that she had been biased towards Cui Jing since she was a child, and she wanted to use her as a shield for me. Now that Northern Qi has come, why don't you just recognize Cui Jing back? That way I won't have to go to Northern Qi. I am the king, and you are the subjects. Isn't it right for you to suffer for me?"

"You wish!" Cui Chen had a vicious expression, "Now that Northern Qi already knows that you are the Ninth Princess, they will only ask you to go there as a hostage. Don't even think about harming Jing'er." "Oh! Okay." A'qi smiled.

Seeing her stubborn attitude, Cui Chen was so angry that he threw down the curtain of the carriage.

After that, he never spoke another word to Asui again.

Ah Qi naturally wouldn't take the initiative to say anything to him, fearing that she would play tricks, the people arranged by Song Chong were particularly alert and didn't give her any chance to escape. There were people guarding her at all times, even when she was staying in the inn.

Of course, these scenes would not be seen by others. She would be brought in to live after the area was cleared, but there would always be some who slipped through the net.

"Sir, the woman in the carriage looks quite noble, why is she tied up?"

"This should be the Ninth Princess of Southern Qi. She was to be sent to Northern Qi as a hostage. They were probably afraid she would run away. I heard she hid once."

"So she is the Ninth Princess who used the daughter of a minister to replace herself. She can't escape now. Although pitiful, she is also quite bad. She herself didn't want to go, so she had to force others to go. Now she still can't escape."

There was no such news in Southern Qi, but it was spread everywhere in Northern Qi, and they would not cover up for Southern Qi. They came from Northern Qi, and the matter caused a lot of uproar.

"What's so strange about this? Those nobles who are high up wouldn't care about the life and death of people of lower status than themselves. In times of crisis, if sacrificing the lives of a city can save their lives, they will sacrifice without hesitation. To them, those are cheap lives! They don't count for anything." Fan Shi said, and was about to retract his gaze, but the woman who walked into the inn and was tied up glanced at them. Obviously, he was hiding in the branches and should not have been discovered, but he felt that she saw him.

Those eyes were clear and bright, very different from those of the nobles he had seen.

For a moment he had an illusion that she was not the kind of person who would do such a thing, but the fact was that she had done it.

He looked away and stopped looking at it, but for some reason, he felt uncomfortable and depressed.

"What's wrong, sir?"

"It's okay, let's go."

"Where are you going? Nanqi?"

"It's not worth going there." Fan Shi said. Southern Qi could have chosen not to send the princess to Northern Qi, but they did it anyway. Why go to a place full of wimps? He couldn't find what he wanted.

"Your Highness, what's wrong?" The maid beside him asked carefully at the door of the inn.

Ah Qi withdrew his gaze and sighed inwardly, feeling as if he had been misunderstood.

How could someone who doesn't know the truth not misunderstand this?

Try to coax him after you've finished your work. You shouldn't need to coax him too much by then. Maybe he will come on his own.

"Then are we going to the east to find the rebels?" After A'rui went in, the voice of Fan Shi's followers sounded again.

Fan Shidao: "No."

They sound like rebels, but what they did was nothing but burning, killing and looting. If they had become powerful, Southern Qi and Northern Qi would not be so stable.

"Where to go?"

"Go to Northern Qi." Fan Shi didn't understand why, but he just wanted to go to Northern Qi.

The attendant scratched his head, full of confusion. Didn't he just come from there? Why was he going there again? To watch the fun? Would the gentleman also watch the fun?
