famous eldest daughter

Chapter 215 Trapped Beast
Prince Duan's eyes flashed with fierceness like an eagle, "The South Vietnamese envoys are slow to arrive because they are wandering around. If I send a message, I'm afraid they will hurry up and arrive before dark tomorrow." .”

As he said this, Prince Duan added in a subtle way, "How can there be a wild dog that doesn't crave meat?"

Princess Duan's eyes sparkled, her red lips were pressed into a thin red line, and her dignified face had edges and corners that were very consistent with her temperament. The Murong family's unique ruthlessness was particularly prominent in her.

"What do you want me to do?" After a long silence, Princess Duan turned to look at Prince Duan. The uneasiness that had been so intense in her eyes had dissipated, and was replaced by a kind of certainty. A certainty of unconditional trust in her husband.

Prince Duan couldn't help but feel emotional, took Princess Duan's hand, placed a hot kiss on the back of her hand, which was still delicate and white, and said: "The envoy from South Vietnam is here to see you, and the emperor must arrange a singing and dancing banquet. Officials from the capital and their family members will be present at that time. , you can just act according to the method we have discussed before."

Hearing this, Princess Duan's heart suddenly felt like it was being clamped by a tong. She felt pain, but she gritted her teeth and held it back. With tears in her eyes, she looked towards Prince Duan, "Your Majesty, have you decided?" She was held by Prince Duan. The fingers of his hands were cold to the bone and they were trembling constantly.

Maybe because of fear, maybe because of panic, maybe because of something else.

But no matter what it was, her hand that condensed all her emotions was tightly held by Prince Duan's big hands.

His voice was hoarse for a moment, and the fluorescence in Prince Duan's eyes flashed. He took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, and said: "The matter has come to this, the arrow is on the string, and we have no choice but to do it. If we hesitate, the entire Prince Duan's palace will be plunged into eternal disaster. Think about us My child, think of the great glory that can be achieved once things are accomplished..."

Princess Duan took her hand out of Prince Duan's palm, caressed his lips, and said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, there is no need to say anything more. I understand that I will not ruin your important affairs."

As he was talking, someone knocked on the window three times, and the voice of Prince Duan's confidant came to mind, "Your Majesty, everyone is here." The voice was neither high nor low, neither impatient nor impetuous, no different from the past.

Princess Duan said hurriedly: "Go quickly, I'm here, you don't have to worry, you just need to tell me when to do it, it's just a few children..."

Princess Duan wanted to say that she might as well send her children to South Vietnam for safety in case they failed, but she swallowed her words halfway.

Prince Duan was thinking about discussing things with his staff. He stood up in a hurry, patted the back of Princess Duan's hand with his backhand, turned around and left, not seeing the worried look on her eyebrows.

After Prince Duan left, Princess Duan stared at the chair that Prince Duan had just made, in a daze.

She is not afraid of death, but she is afraid of affecting several children.

However, even if she had brought it up just now, Prince Duan would never agree to it.

His temperament...she knew it all too well.

After taking a deep breath for a long time, Princess Duan stood up and called her personal nanny to come in.

"Let a few children clean up and send them out to play in the afternoon. They haven't left the capital for a long time." Princess Duan ordered with the same smile as usual, but there was great sadness in her eyes, "You can accompany them on the way. With you taking care of me, I am at ease.”

A loving mother's heart was tightly grasped, as if a branding iron had struck it. .

After all, the old mother had been with Princess Duan for decades, seeing her expression, her tone paused, and she asked tentatively, "But something happened?"

Princess Duan shook her head with a smile and glanced at her angrily, "If anything happens, don't think about it. Go quickly."

The old nanny's lips curled up slightly, she hesitated for a moment, but finally left with her heart hanging.

When she went out, Princess Duan bit her lip tightly, but she did not hold back the tears that filled her eyes.

I hope they will hurry up and reach South Vietnam safely before they cause trouble.

As for Prince Duan...if it goes through, he will at most blame himself for being meddlesome, but if it fails...

She decided for him what he wouldn't agree to, and his bloodline must continue.

Looking at the bright sun outside the window, Princess Duan couldn't help but squint her eyes, her thoughts wandering back to the day when she first met Prince Duan.

……

Xiao Duo's residence, study.

Xiao Duo was like a trapped animal, walking barefoot on his smooth marble floor, his brows furrowed, his face tense, and he kept turning back and forth.

Changshun stood aside, looking dizzy.

"Your Highness, why not enter the palace immediately?" Changshun said cautiously.

He didn't understand. He had already mastered such fatal evidence. Why was His Highness still hesitating?I have been walking back and forth in the study for half an afternoon.

Xiao Duo said calmly: "This matter is no small matter. If I miss, my future path will be completely cut off."

If he could not defeat Prince Duan with one strike, he would not only offend Prince Duan, but also the Queen Mother.

He is one of the many grandsons of the Empress Dowager, while Prince Duan is her own son, so there is no need to think about which is more important.

"How could it be defeated!" Chang Shun didn't understand, where did His Highness worry come from, and he was too cautious, "That was a private letter with the Nanyue court, and it was not a forgery, every word was correct. The prince himself wrote these letters, and as long as you place these letters in front of His Majesty, you don’t need to say anything.”

How could Xiao Duo not know what Chang Shun said, but his heart was always uneasy. His eyes glanced at the pile of letters on the desk, and his face became increasingly gloomy.

Ever since he got these letters, he didn't dare to leave his study for even a moment, just in case. Even if he went to the toilet, he would carry these letters with him.

The nerves were so tight that they could break at the touch of a touch.

Knowing that what Changshun said was true, Xiao Duo would rather wait a little longer.

He wanted to wait for Gu Yuqing to take action first. As long as Gu Yuqing went to report to the emperor what Prince Duan had done to the Gusu family in Qibei, he would follow closely and take action immediately. In this way, nothing would go wrong.

"Is the person locked up in the house in the suburbs of Beijing okay?" Xiao Duo asked after turning around again.

Changshun rolled his eyes silently and replied respectfully: "Don't worry, Your Highness, everything is fine."

But I couldn't help but curse in my heart: Your Highness, you have asked me this three times!

"Has someone been sent to the Chinanhou Mansion to keep an eye on it?" As soon as Gu Yuqing made a move, he would take action immediately.

Changshun nodded, "I'm watching!"

When Xiao Duo was restless, the housekeeper hurried to the study and reported: "Your Highness, your Majesty's chamberlain father-in-law has come to announce the decree."

Xiao Duo suddenly stopped in his steps, with a look of surprise on his face. Without thinking, he quickly put on his shoes and walked out with the butler, and asked: "Which father-in-law is here?"

Changshun followed closely behind.
