Chapter 245: Substitute Village Girl (End)
After the defeat of the Cangling Kingdom, for the sake of peace and stability, it proposed a marriage alliance, hoping to form an alliance and jointly resist foreign enemies.
Xuanyuan Ye had a headache. He knew exactly what Cangling Kingdom was planning. There was no unmarried princess of marriageable age in the royal family. The only one who was of marriageable age and unmarried was the newly canonized Princess Kangning.
The Cangling Kingdom was planning to ask for the princess' hand in marriage, but in fact, they were targeting Princess Kangning.
"Your Majesty, General Huo requests to see you."
Xuanyuan Ye was delighted and said, "Please come in."
Huo Tieyi was wearing armor. He had just returned from the battlefield and entered the palace without having time to take off his armor.
After hearing about the request from Cangling Country, he thought of the small courtyard in Sunset City and felt uneasy. He had to do something.
"Your Majesty, marriage is absolutely unacceptable."
Xuanyuan Ye was stunned. General Huo also disagreed.
"Tell me why not."
Huo Tieyi thought for a moment, "Murong Zhaohua is a miracle doctor. Sending such a person to marry would only strengthen the enemy and weaken ourselves."
Xuanyuan Ye smiled and nodded, "My dear minister, you are absolutely right. I think so too."
Xuanyuan Ye frowned again, "It's just that the opportunity is rare now. If we can negotiate and get a few decades of peace, we can recuperate and replenish our troops."
Huo Tieyi lowered his head. He naturally did not want to exchange peace for marriage, but Cangling Kingdom was vast and attacking was not the best strategy. Dayan was not strong and it would be best to recuperate for a few decades.
"Go back, I will handle this matter."
Xuanyuan Ye thought about it again and again and came up with a good idea, so he summoned Duke Dingguo into the palace.
"I have thought about it and feel that your granddaughter is really wronged. So, I will also give her the title of princess."
Duke Dingguo was a little surprised. The emperor wanted to give face to Zhaohua.
"Thank you Lord for your grace!"
Xuanyuan Ye: "Get up, go back and get ready."
Duke Dingguo left the palace in a daze, feeling very happy. Now that Zhaohua had this status, it would be easier for her to get married in the future.
When Murong Zhaohua learned that he was canonized, he was shocked by the second imperial edict before he had time to be happy.
"The Emperor issued an edict:
I have observed that the three princes of Cangling Kingdom are of upright character, brave and capable, and are willing to form an alliance with our dynasty to jointly seek the well-being of both countries.
Murong Wanying is gentle, virtuous, and talented. She is now specially granted the title of "Princess Ruihe" and ordered to marry the third prince of Cangling Kingdom to show that the two countries are forever united.
Princess Ruihe, from now on, will set off for Cangling Kingdom to complete the marriage ceremony. I hope Princess Ruihe will win people over with her virtue, promote friendship between the two countries, and benefit the people.
This decree! "
Duke Dingguo was stunned. It turned out that the emperor's plan was to give a sweet treat first just to hit him with a stick.
But the imperial decree had been issued and there was no room for regret, so Murong Wanying could only accept it.
She couldn't cry freely, otherwise it would mean she was dissatisfied with the royal family. One can imagine how frustrated she felt.
Duke Dingguo and his wife did not have time to prepare a dowry for their granddaughter, so they could only give her a sum of gold and silver for her to take with her for self-defense.
Murong Wanying kept crying. Her life was so miserable. She escaped exile five years ago, but five years later she still had to go to the frontier to marry a foreign princess.
When Nan Xi heard that Murong Zhaohua had returned, she was still thinking about dealing with her, but who knew that the emperor would send her to marry a foreign prince, so she didn't do anything about it. She was quite satisfied with the result.
However, Nan Xi still asked Xiaoying to make a trip and feed Murong Wanying a pill. In the past, Alie had given the original owner a poison pill, so now she would give one to her master as well, which was fair.
Murong Wanying left in a carriage, and she embarked on a journey to the border again. This time, without Alie's company, she was alone and unwilling.
When passing by Jingshui Village, Murong Wanying had already forgotten what she said when she left.
She said that when she lived a good life in the future, she would come back to pick up Liu Menghan and let her live a good life too.
Murong Wanying now has only one thought in her mind, that is, the Liu family is Princess Kangning's family, and Liu Menghan is Princess Kangning's sister, and they are both her enemies.
Unfortunately, she has no manpower available now, and these escorts will not listen to her at all, otherwise she will never let the Liu family go.
Murong Wanying did not get out of the car. She told people to leave directly without stopping in Jingshui Village.
Liu Menghan stood at the entrance of the village, watching the carriage go away. She didn't know that it was her second sister, she just stared at her blankly. Her second sister said that she would come back to see her.
Three months later, the marriage convoy finally arrived at the capital of Cangling Kingdom.
Although Murong Wanying was a little nervous, she was also hopeful. After all, this was the beginning of her new life.
The third prince came out to greet them, but as soon as he saw Murong Wanying, disappointment appeared in his eyes.
This woman looked too ordinary, and seemed a little inferior to the maid in her tent.
Although the third prince was unhappy in his heart, he still remained polite on the surface. After all, Murong Wanying was a princess sent by the Kingdom of Yan to marry a foreign princess.
He greeted her coldly and asked someone to take her to rest.
Murong Wanying felt the Third Prince's attitude and couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.
She knew that her appearance might not meet the prince's expectations, and she silently comforted herself that a person's inner qualities are the most important.
No matter what the third prince thinks, she will live a good life here.
She believed that as long as she worked hard, she would be able to prove her worth one day.
On the wedding day, the entire capital of Cangling Kingdom was immersed in joy.
The streets are decorated with colorful lights and ribbons, and people are dressed in festive costumes, singing and laughing.
The wedding ceremony was held with great ceremony. Murong Wanying looked very beautiful in her gorgeous wedding gown and golden crown.
Although the third prince was somewhat dissatisfied with her appearance, he still behaved very decently in front of everyone.
When the wedding reached its climax and the two were about to exchange vows, Murong Wanying suddenly felt a sharp pain in her chest and she could not help but spit out a mouthful of blood.
Everyone present was stunned, and the festive atmosphere froze in an instant.
The third prince and the guests rushed forward to check, but Murong Wanying had already fallen to the ground, breathing weakly. Although doctors rushed to rescue her, they were ultimately unable to save her life.
Murong Wanying died just like that.
After investigation, it was found that Murong Wanying's death was not an accident, but she was secretly poisoned.
The news shocked everyone and strained relations between the two countries.
Xuanyuan Ye felt deeply sad and angry when he learned of Murong Wanying's unfortunate death.
He took the opportunity to demand compensation from the Cangling Kingdom, hoping to seek justice for Princess Ruihe and at the same time gain benefits for the Dayan Kingdom.
After investigating the cause of Princess Wanying's death, the Cangling Kingdom felt deeply guilty and admitted that it was some lawless elements in their country who were responsible.
In order to show sincerity and friendship towards the Kingdom of Yan, the Kingdom of Cangling agreed to Xuanyuan Ye's request and paid a large sum of gold, silver and treasures as compensation.
In grief, the two countries sat down at the negotiating table again and after intense discussions, they finally reached an agreement.
They signed a peace treaty, agreeing that there would be no more war between the two countries in the next 50 years, that they would respect each other and jointly maintain regional peace and stability.

Nan Xi had enough fun in the capital and set out on another journey. This continent is very large and there are many countries. Nan Xi took Xiaoying to visit every corner of the continent.
She also went to Jingshui Village to visit the original owner's family. The Liu family was poor, and without their eldest daughter to sell as a dowry, Liu Mengyuan had never been able to marry.
Father and mother Liu set their sights on their youngest daughter, Liu Menghan.
When Nan Xi went there, she happened to see Liu Menghan getting married. She was tied to a chair, her face full of tears.
Nan Xi took her away from Jingshui Village directly. As for what the Liu family would do if the bride ran away, that was none of Nan Xi’s business.
Nan Xi took Liu Menghan to the capital, gave her a very generous dowry, and married her to the youngest son of a fifth-rank official with a good family background.
Liu Menghan lived a happy and smooth life for the rest of her life. She was loved by her husband, had two sons and one daughter, and lived a very happy life.
Nan Xi came to Sunset City again, thirty years later. Here, she met an acquaintance, Huo Tieyi.
Huo Tieyi is already a general stationed in Sunset City. He guards this place and the Great Yan Kingdom.
Nan Xi settled in Sunset City, still with a small courtyard and two rooms.
Huo Tieyi often came to visit, and the two gradually became familiar with each other.
"Princess, I've always wanted to ask you, did you really follow the exile team in a daze back then?"
Nan Xi smiled, "What do you think?"
Huo Tieyi nodded, smiled with relief, and raised his glass to toast.
Another year passed, and Huo Tieyi lay in bed, breathing weakly.
It was the first time for Nan Xi to see off a friend, so Huo Tieyi could be considered a friend.
"Go with peace of mind. I will take care of your funeral and let you rest in peace."
Poor Huo Tieyi never got married in his life. He was a lonely man without even anyone to collect his body. Fortunately, he had her.
Huo Tieyi suddenly opened his eyes wide and said to Nan Xi, "Senior Sister..."
After saying this, he lost all breath and his soul flew to the underworld.
