Chapter 339 The Empress, the Hostage from the Neighboring Country Has Returned in Battle (Part 23)
Ji Yu'an received a letter from the Kingdom of Wanxiang, informing him that they had already set off for the Kingdom of Fengming.
Moreover, his uncle was also in the delegation this time.
Although the uncle may not have much say.
However, he can still ask his uncle for help.
Ji Yu'an couldn't believe it about the others.
But his uncle will definitely help him.
Ji Yu'an knew that his chance for revenge had arrived.
What I didn't know was that he had now married the Second Princess and was now her concubine.
Will Vientiane still insist on taking me back?
I wonder if that letter from last time was successfully delivered.
Also, have they written anything from Vientiane during this time?
During this period, Ji Yu'an only received this one letter.
Moreover, the letter had already been opened when it was delivered to him.
So it's possible that previous messages were intercepted.
I don't know if there was anything I couldn't say in the previous letters.
I imagine that even if there were any plans, they wouldn't have stated them directly in the letter.
Moreover, he hasn't sent any letters back, so he must be trying to find out more information.
The news that he was being forced into marriage by the Second Princess should have already reached back home.
It seems I'll have to find a way to meet with my uncle and discuss the follow-up matters.
I wonder if his hands and feet will be able to recover by then.
Otherwise, his limited mobility would make it more difficult for him to do anything.
This is all thanks to Jiang He, who treated him so ruthlessly.
He will absolutely not let Jiang He go.
In order to be able to see his uncle smoothly, Ji Yu'an's attitude towards the Second Princess has improved a lot recently.
The second princess also enjoyed Ji Yu'an's show of weakness.
Because the second princess got married, the empress bestowed many gifts upon her.
Moreover, although the Second Princess did not hold a wedding banquet, officials of all ranks still came to give gifts.
The Second Princess's household became much wealthier.
She would often buy small things for Ji Yu'an as gifts.
Because Ji Yu'an is currently bedridden, he is not so particular about his clothing and appearance.
Therefore, the Second Princess gave Ji Yu'an some exquisite little trinkets.
The focus is on visual appeal.
It's cheaper than those gold, silver, and jade items.
The second princess was very generous in giving gifts.
The day finally arrived when the envoy from Wanxiang Kingdom came to Fengming Kingdom.
The eldest princess and the second princess went to greet the envoy from the Kingdom of Vientiane.
Ji Yu'an also sent his servant out to investigate the movements of the envoy from Wanxiang Kingdom.
The envoy from Vientiane was housed in a separate residence.
After a long journey, we will rest at the detached residence for a day before heading to the palace to pay our respects to the Empress.
Ji Yu'an's uncle had hoped to take this opportunity to meet Ji Yu'an.
However, there has been no news from Ji Yu'an.
News has come that Ji Yu'an has married the second princess of Fengming Kingdom.
Ji Yu'an clearly intended to return to Wanxiang Kingdom.
How could he possibly agree to marry that Second Princess?
He has already seen the second princess today.
Compared to the eldest princess, she is worlds apart.
No wonder the eldest princess is the heir to the Phoenix Cry Kingdom.
He could understand Ji Yu'an marrying the eldest princess, but choosing the second princess was simply incomprehensible.
Unless Ji Yu'an was forced into it.
Ji Yu'an hasn't sent any messages for the past few months.
It seems they've been controlled by that second princess for quite some time now.
Otherwise, Ji Yu'an wouldn't have known he was coming but still not come to see him.
Unless he can't come.
Ji Yu'an's uncle sent a visiting card to the Second Princess's residence, wanting to meet Ji Yu'an.
I thought it would be difficult to see Ji Yu'an.
Later, it may be necessary to put pressure on the Empress in order to see Ji Yu'an.
Unexpectedly, he was taken inside without any hindrance.
This was because Ji Yu'an had previously asked the Second Princess for help.
He wanted to catch up with his uncle when he came to visit.
Ji Yu'an's uncle saw Ji Yu'an.
Ji Yu'an dressed up specially because her uncle was coming, and she sat up.
The uncle was very nervous when he saw Ji Yu'an still in bed in broad daylight.
"Yu'an, are you sick?"
Where does it hurt? Have you seen a doctor?
Is it because the Second Princess treats you badly?
Did she force you to get married?
Tell your uncle, and he will stand up for you.
The uncle looked at Ji Yu'an, who was sitting weakly on the bed, his face very pale, and he was clearly in bad condition.
The uncle grasped Ji Yu'an's shoulder and noticed that something seemed wrong with Ji Yu'an's arm.
"Yu'an, what happened to your arm?"
"Uncle, my hands and feet were broken. I've seen several imperial physicians and taken a lot of medicine, but I still haven't recovered."
My former servant has also been executed. Now I have no one I can trust and no one I can use.
I have no way to send a message back.
I was forced into marriage by the Second Princess.
Now I can only lie in bed every day.
He's just like a useless person.
Uncle, thank goodness you came.
Can you take me back this time?
I want to go back to Vientiane.
I don't want to stay here any longer.
"Yu'an, don't worry, your uncle is here. Your uncle will protect you."
I won't let you be bullied by them anymore.
The most urgent task now is to heal your hands and feet.
Your uncle will go and bring the imperial physician who is traveling with you to treat you.
The imperial physicians of Fengming Kingdom are probably deliberately refusing to treat your injury.
"Don't worry, tomorrow your uncle will speak to the Empress about bringing you back."
Seeing Ji Yu'an suffering here, Ji Yu'an's uncle felt heartbroken.
Their arms and legs were broken; the eldest and second princesses are really going too far.
The Phoenix Kingdom is truly going too far.
They tortured Ji Yu'an like this just to prevent him from returning to China.
If he hadn't come, no one would have known that Ji Yu'an was being treated this way in Fengming Kingdom.
Ji Yu'an's uncle immediately returned to the villa and explained Ji Yu'an's current situation to the envoy.
This is how the Phoenix Cry Kingdom treated their fourth prince of the Myriad Elephant Kingdom.
Openly bullying the hostage is a sign that they don't respect the Kingdom of Wanxiang.
This is a provocation against their Vientiane Kingdom.
The envoy naturally remembered the mission he had come to Fengming Kingdom for.
One reason was that the agreement between the two countries was about to expire, and they wanted to test the current situation of Fengming Kingdom.
There have been many rumors about the Empress. Seeing is believing. Let's see if the Empress can still hold on to the Phoenix Cry Kingdom.
This directly determined the attitude of the Wanxiang Kingdom towards the Fengming Kingdom.
Another thing is to bring Ji Yu'an back.
With the fifteen-year agreement approaching, it's time to take back the hostage from their Kingdom of Vientiane.
However, there were previous reports that Ji Yu'an and the Second Princess were in love and had already married.
The Phoenix Kingdom doesn't want them to bring Ji Yu'an back to their country.
However, Ji Yu'an is the fourth prince of their Wanxiang Kingdom.
How could they possibly marry their fourth prince to the second princess?
Even if it were a marriage alliance, it should be their fourth prince marrying their second princess.
The subordinate relationship between two people directly affects the status of the two countries.
I never imagined that the Phoenix Kingdom could be so vicious.
They even tormented Ji Yu'an and forced him into marriage.
They must seek justice for Ji Yu'an.
This also vindicates Vientiane.
