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

Chapter 397 It is your honor to die for the princess
Prime Minister's Mansion of Northern Qi.

"Master, it's time to set off. His Majesty has asked you to attend the palace banquet. He has also summoned the Ninth Princess of Southern Qi today. You have to go. If you don't go now, you will not be able to make it in time." The Prime Minister's wife wiped her tears and persuaded him. She knew that the master was unwilling to participate in such occasions, but since His Majesty had asked him to attend, he had to go.

Thinking back to when they got married, the master was so high-spirited and full of vigor. That young man is still engraved in her heart. At that time, the master said that he must change Northern Qi.

If he could only climb high enough, he could change.

Now that the master is the prime minister, he is powerless to change things.

It is also because Your Majesty needs me, otherwise I don't know how many times I would have died. My master is not afraid of life and death, but he also has many concerns and weaknesses. She and their children and grandchildren, the Xue family, and the people of Northern Qi, if my master really dies, and your Majesty is angry, these people will suffer. Your Majesty will not force me to do those crazy things, but I must do what a prime minister should do.

The master is not even fifty yet, but his hair is already gray. This must be due to his daily worries.

"According to the news, His Majesty has summoned all the people from Southern Qi." Xue Shanhui took the black gauze hat and put it on tremblingly, with tears in the corners of his eyes, "Madam, I am really powerless."

He could not save Northern Qi, nor did he have the ability to rebel.

His Majesty uses him but does not trust him, and he is the one who is under constant surveillance.

Watching him go from being ambitious to being powerless seemed to be a pleasure for His Majesty. If he did anything wrong, it would not be him who died, but his family. His eldest son and third daughter were both dragged to death by him.

He is really in a dilemma now, unable to live or die.

He couldn't die. If he died, everyone related to him would die, and the people under Northern Qi would have a harder time. If he lived, at least he could do something.

"It's okay. The master is already very capable and has saved many people." The Prime Minister's wife supported his arm. "You have done a good job. You are still the Xue Shanhui I know."

"Ma'am, I'm leaving."

"Okay, I'll wait for you to come back." The Prime Minister's wife stood at the door, waving and smiling.

Xue Shanhui looked back and wanted to tell her not to wait and go to bed early, as he estimated that he would not be able to return to the mansion until the second half of the night. But thinking that she was also persistent, he said, "Don't wait outside at night, stay inside to avoid catching a cold."

"Okay." The Prime Minister's wife responded, still smiling.

For more than thirty years, every day when he went out, she would see him off at the door. Knowing the time he would come back, she would always wait for him to come back before she felt at ease.

Sitting in the carriage, Xue Shanhui put away all his warmth.

His Majesty asked him to attend the palace banquet because he knew that he couldn't stand it. He asked him to suffer so that he could get used to it and understand that he couldn't resist anything. He could enjoy it. He couldn't get used to it. He couldn't agree with the behavior of those crazy people in the Northern Qi royal family.

I'm afraid that the Ninth Princess of Southern Qi and those people of Southern Qi will not have an easy time tonight.

The Ninth Princess of Southern Qi should be able to survive, but I don’t know about the others.

Alas, he sighed deeply.

He didn't know how long he could endure such days, and he was powerless to change anything, but deep down he hoped for such a capable person.

Cui Chen and Cui Jing have already fled far away from the capital. They have disguised themselves and now look just ordinary. They currently have identities prepared by the third prince Song Yuheng, and their journey is smooth.

While resting, Cui Jing couldn't help but look towards the direction of the Northern Qi capital with a complicated look in her eyes.

"Don't think about it. Song Jue deserved what happened to her. It's fine if she suffered, but she even wanted to harm you." Cui Chen said, "Jing'er, forget about what happened here when you go back." "She is the emperor's daughter. Your parents really had to raise her. They almost killed you, but we couldn't find trouble with the emperor. This can't be blamed on your parents. We can only blame the emperor for being unreasonable and Song Jue for being too cruel." Cui Chen was angry. "Why should this crappy emperor be loyal to you? If Northern Qi hadn't found out, I'm afraid you would have replaced her directly."

"Second brother, stop talking." Cui Jing didn't dare to explain that Cui Chen had misunderstood her thoughts. Anyway, things had passed, so some thoughts should just rot in her stomach.

Without Song Qi, the Cui family will return to peace.

Now she was more worried about one thing: whether the emperor would blame her.

"Judging from my father's attitude, His Majesty should be quite angry, mainly because of Song Qi. If her behavior angers Northern Qi and a war breaks out, the consequences will be disastrous and it will not affect you." Although he said this, Cui Chen was still a little worried.

But now I can only go back and see what happens later.

The emperor would not do anything to the Cui family. It was Song Qi who caused the trouble. If he really wanted to punish the Cui family, he would have done it long ago.

Cui Jing felt that the Emperor of Southern Qi should not know the details of his situation in Northern Qi.

Besides, this matter was really started by Song Jue, so he should be blamed.

Her heart was somewhat relieved. She felt happy when she thought that Song Qi would be summoned by the emperor to the palace banquet tonight and she didn't know what would happen.

That's what Song Qi should bear.

The palace gardens.

Acui has arrived, but the Northern Qi Emperor Song Kuo has not yet arrived.

There were many people around her, many familiar faces, all looking at her, some even with playful smiles.

When Song Yishui arrived, he was looking for A'rui in the crowd and immediately saw her. He walked up to her with a smile and wanted to talk to her, but his eyes were attracted by "Cui Chen" next to her.

"Who is this?" she asked arrogantly.

Someone immediately answered, "Princess, this is Cui Chen, Cui Jing's second brother. He came here with the envoy to take Cui Jing back."

There's no way this kind of thing can be kept secret.

"Oh, Cui Jing's second brother, no wonder he looks pretty good." Song Yishui looked him up and down and said with a smile, "After the palace banquet, you will come back to the princess's mansion with me."

"You can resist."

"But it's useless." Song Yishui smiled happily and looked at Ah Qi again, "You won't help to beg for mercy, right? But even if you beg me, I won't let you go. You can't even save yourself, how can you care about others?"

"If the Third Princess wants Cui Chen, I really won't care." This was Asui's answer, but if this person is not Cui Chen, it will definitely not work.

Song Yishui snorted: "This time I am sensible. I won't play with you for the time being. You just spend tonight's palace banquet first."

"I heard that the emperor has some ideas," she said, leaning closer to Ah Qi, "you have to bear it."

"However, the people around you may not be able to be saved." Song Yishui thought of this and his eyes fell on Cui Chen. "If you want to survive tonight, come to my side from now on, otherwise I can't save you."
