Chapter 2740 2742【Zhao Sesur】
After going down to court, Xiang Nan went to see the Empress Dowager.
"Grandma, the great-grandson will leave for Xizhou in two days." He said to the Empress Dowager, "Do you have any letter for Aunt Mingyuan?"
"Good boy, you have a heart." The Empress Dowager nodded and handed a letter to Xiang Nan.
In addition, clothes, jewelry, food, etc. were prepared for Mingyuan. It can be seen that she loves Princess Mingyuan very much.
"Tell Mingyuan, you must take good care of yourself, don't let me, an old woman, send a white-haired person to a black-haired person." The empress dowager said with red eyes.
"Yes, grandma." Xiang Nan nodded, and then went to Fangshi to prepare a batch of medicinal materials.
Before, Feng Chao received a message from Princess Mingyuan, knowing that she was due to a serious illness and was about to die soon.
Therefore, in order to stabilize the relationship between Feng Dynasty and Xizhou, he suggested that Feng Dynasty marry the first princess of Xizhou as the crown princess, so as to consolidate the diplomatic relations between the two countries.
Of course, this is purely a novelist's words.
Because since ancient times, the emperor has inherited the heaviest blood. If it is not my race, its heart must be different.
As the princess of a defeated foreign country, Qu Xiaofeng was already a fluke to be accepted as a side concubine. It is absolutely impossible for her to become the crown princess, and it is even more impossible for her son to succeed her as the emperor.
Like the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, Bianliang was destroyed by the Jin Dynasty, and the emperor, concubines, and princesses were all abducted. After they were brought back to northern Xinjiang, they were all demoted as slaves and abused and trampled at will.
As for what illness Princess Mingyuan is suffering from, although she did not disclose it in the letter, Xiang Nan has watched the episode and knows that she is suffering from tuberculosis.
This disease was indeed terminally ill in ancient times. However, Xiang Nan has a way to heal one or two.
Even if the healing effect cannot be achieved, at least there is no problem in living for a few more years.
As long as Princess Mingyuan is still alive, Gao Xian will not dare to be too rampant in Xizhou.
Can't do the evil deeds of killing the empress of Xizhou and driving the king of Xizhou crazy. In this way, Qu Xiaofeng would at least hate him less.
…
That night, Xiang Nan went to Gao Xiangfu to meet his uncle Gao Ming.
"It's a good thing that the fifth prince can go to the western region." Gao Ming nodded, "However, the western region is turbulent and dangerous, so the fifth prince should be careful."
"Thank you for your uncle's entrustment, Cheng Yin will keep it in his heart." Xiang Nan bowed and said, "I'm going to the western region, and I have to ask my cousin Gao Xian for his support."
"Well, everyone is a family, it's a natural thing." Gao Ming nodded.
"Then does uncle have any letter to send to cousin Gao Xian, Cheng Yin can take it along the way." Xiang Nan asked again.
Actually, the Gao family and the Western Territory have always had messenger exchanges, even if there is a letter, it is not wrong for him to deliver it. What Xiang Nan wants is actually a recommendation letter written by Gao Xian, so that Gao Xian can treat him better.
Because Gao Xian went to the Western Territory early to develop, he has hardly met Li Chengyin, so the relationship is naturally very weak. Having a recommendation letter written by Gao Ming will undoubtedly deepen the relationship between the two.
"Fifth Prince is interested. I have a letter that I want you to bring to Xian'er." Gao Ming nodded, then took out a letter and handed it to Xiang Nan.
"Uncle, don't worry, Cheng Yin will definitely deliver the letter safely." Xiang Nan took the letter and carefully put it away.
…
Two days later, Li Chengye, Xiang Nan, and Li Feng went to the west first.
"Second brother, I'm going to the west together this time, so please take care of me." Xiang Nan cupped his hands and smiled at Li Chengye.
"Don't worry, we are brothers, I will take care of you naturally." Li Chengye said with a half-smile.
He didn't expect the fifth younger brother, who had always been lazy, to start working hard now. The wit, intelligence, and courage shown made him a little afraid.
Especially going to the western region, he was even more worried.
Because he knew that the fifth younger brother’s cousin, Gao Xian, was now the protector of the Anhu Mansion in the Western Territory. And Fifth Brother's good friend Pei Zhao is also working in Anhu Mansion.
"It seems that the death of the prince made the fifth child have thoughts that he shouldn't have." Li Chengyin thought in his heart.
And he will not let anyone take away his crown prince, even if it is his brother or father, he will still kill him.
…
The group immediately left Shangjing and headed for the west.
Just arrived at the ten-mile long pavilion, I heard a person shout loudly, "Your Highness~"
Li Chengye and Xiang Nan followed the prestige, and saw a young and beautiful woman standing under the ten-mile long pavilion.
Xiang Nan was taken aback, and recognized this woman as Zhao Sesur, the daughter of Zhao Jingyu, the general of Fuguo.
He immediately patted his horse and went forward, "Miss Zhao, why are you here?"
"Surse heard that His Royal Highness is going to Xizhou, so he specially waited here." Zhao Sesel explained.
Xiang Nan smiled slightly when he heard this.
"This is a sachet that Sese personally sewed for His Highness." At this time, Zhao Sese took out another sachet with exquisite embroidery and handed it to Xiang Nan.
"Miss Zhao, what is the meaning of this~" Xiang Nan pretended not to know.
In fact, he knew that Zhao Sesel had a good impression of Li Chengyin, but he also knew that Li Chengyin didn't have that kind of thought for Zhao Sesel, and only regarded her as a childhood playmate.
Li Chengyin started to take advantage of Zhao Sese's affection for him to win over General Zhao Jingyu when the crown prince was assassinated, and he was burdened with blood and deep feud, and determined to climb up.
Seeing Xiang Nan's question, Zhao Sesel was obviously aggrieved, "Does Your Highness really not know Sesel's thoughts?"
"This trip to the west has been windy with knives and swords, **** and rainy, and I don't know when I will be able to return to Beijing. Cheng Yin is afraid that Miss Zhao will not be able to repay Miss Zhao's kindness." Xiang Nan explained.
This time I went to the western region to fight a war. And there will be casualties in war, not to mention backstabbing and sniping. Even the prince will be assassinated, so how can the others be spared.
"I'm willing to wait! If Your Highness doesn't come back for a year, Sesel will wait for you for a year; if he doesn't return for ten years, he will wait for you for ten years; if he doesn't return for a lifetime, Sesel will wait for you forever." Zhao Sese said emotionally, "It's a long journey, please take care, Your Highness."
Xiang Nan was a little moved when he saw her say that.
Zhao Sesel used Li Chengyin, although he also played tricks, but generally speaking, he still loved him.
This infatuation alone is hard to come by.
It's a pity that Li Chengyin is too much of a dog. He plots against the infatuated Zhao Sesel and defends Qu Xiaofeng who hates him. It seems like he has some serious illness.
"I remember, take care of yourself in Shangjing." Xiang Nan nodded, then turned and left.
Zhao Sesur watched him leave with tenderness in his eyes.
…
"Fifth brother, who is this girl?" Li Chengye asked with a smile.
"The eldest daughter of General Zhao Jingyu of Fuguo." Xiang Nan explained.
"You look really good, the fifth prince is very lucky." Li Feng said with a smile.
When Xiang Nan heard this, he gave him a sideways look, expressing his dissatisfaction.
Li Feng couldn't help being angry when he saw this.
Although he is only the son of the loyal king, he is certain that Li Chengye will ascend the throne as emperor in the future, and he will also be under one man and over ten thousand people.
By that time, Xiang Nan, as the prince who failed to win the heir apparent, would have been demoted to nowhere, so he was not afraid of Xiang Nan at all.
Now seeing that Xiang Nan dared to roll his eyes at him, he was naturally angry.
Li Chengye shook his head at him, signaling him to calm down, now is not the time for infighting.
Li Feng suppressed his breath.
