Using Mu Wanqing for Marriage
After leaving Daming Capital, Gao Shengtai hurried back to Dali.
His qinggong was the best in the world, and he actually returned to Dali within a day.
Arriving at the densely populated city, after passing through a few streets paved with bluestone slabs, a straight road lay in front of them. At the end of the road were countless towering palaces.
At this moment, the setting sun was shining.
The light shone on the glazed tiles, making it look dazzling.
Gao Shengtai hurried for a while and passed by the memorial archway of the Sacred Way, feeling extremely nervous.
He knew that the residence of Emperor Baoding, Duan Zhengming, was in front of him, the Holy Ci Palace.
He was thinking about how to explain these things to Emperor Baoding.
When they arrived at the palace gate, a eunuch quickly came out to welcome them and asked,""Shan Chanhou?"
Gao Shengtai nodded in response and followed the eunuch into the Holy Ci Palace.
.....
"Your Majesty, this is what happened!”
Gao Shengtai told Emperor Baoding everything that had happened in the Great Ming Capital after he and Duan Yu left Dali.
He also told them that Zhu Houzhao wanted the Six Pulses Divine Sword, but he eventually agreed to give it to the Yi Yang Finger.
Baoding Emperor Duan Zhengming listened to these words silently and slowly sighed. He turned around and sat down at the center seat.
He was a handsome man with a long beard and a yellow robe.
"This matter can't be done by Da Ming, the one who harmed my brother Chun is someone else.”
Hearing Emperor Baoding's words, Gao Shengtai lowered his head and said with guilt,""I was muddle-headed!"
"Yu 'er is young and easy to act on impulse. Why are you messing around too? Moreover, the capital region of the Ming Dynasty is an important place, and the East and West Chambers have many ears and eyes. Can your whereabouts be hidden just because you want to? What secret investigation! Deceive yourself!"
"Now that such a thing has happened, it's really..." Emperor Baoding said angrily. Sigh!"
Gao Shengtai said," Your Majesty, the Dali royal family only has one heir, the young prince. We cannot afford to lose him. Your Majesty, please allow the Yi Yang Finger to be passed on to Great Ming!" This subject is willing to bear any responsibility!" His tone was very sincere and sad. After Emperor Baoding heard it, his anger subsided a little and he said,"Of course I know that! I will give you the Single Solar Finger. As for the responsibility, we will discuss it after this matter is over!”
After saying that, he pondered for a long time.
The Yi Yang Finger was easy, but the Princess was a little difficult to deal with.
Besides Duan Xinyao, there was no other princess in Dali Kingdom. Where could they find another princess?
"Do you have anyone to choose for another marriage alliance?”Emperor Baoding asked Gao Shengtai.
"Yes, doesn't Brother Chun have an illegitimate daughter, Mu Wanqing?”Gao Shengtai replied,"His Majesty has conferred Miss Mu the title of Princess. It is most appropriate to send her to the Ming Dynasty for marriage." Moreover, with Miss Mu's looks, the Emperor would definitely dote on her to the extreme. At that time, the injustice of Brother Chun and Princess Xinyao would be avenged!”
These words made sense, and Emperor Baoding nodded slightly.
However, he felt sorry for Mu Wanqing.
Sending her to the Ming Emperor's harem like this, she was innocent and did not have any schemes, who knew how much suffering she would suffer.
"Your Majesty, Mu Wanqing requests an audience!"
A eunuch quickly walked in and said to Duan Zhengming.
"Call her in."
The eunuch obeyed and left.
"This idea was thought of by this humble subject. This humble subject will be the one to speak on Miss Mu's matter. Please listen carefully, Your Majesty.”
Gao Shengtai also saw Duan Zhengming's expression and knew what he was thinking, so he stood up and said,"
Emperor Baoding nodded.
"Emperor, what happened to my brother? Why didn't she come back with Gao Shengtai?”
Before she arrived, Mu Wanqing's crisp and pleasant voice could be heard.
The eunuch lifted the curtain.
A tall and beautiful woman walked in.
Her eyes were filled with killing intent as she looked at Duan Zhengming, who was sitting in the middle of the hall, and then at Gao Shengtai. She asked,""Did my brother die in Da Ming like my father?”
"Princess Mu, the young prince was only imprisoned by the Emperor.”
Gao Shengtai's heart ached when he heard her words. He suppressed it and walked up to her.
"What right does the Great Ming Emperor have to lock up my brother! Wasn't he going to catch the murderer?”
Mu Wanqing's willow-like eyebrows raised when she heard this.
Seeing this, Gao Shengtai forced a smile on his tired face and explained to Mu Wanqing why Duan Yu was imprisoned and what the Emperor had to do to get him released.
As he said this, Gao Shengtai was thinking about how to tactfully tell Mu Wanqing that Dali had already asked her to go to the Ming Dynasty for marriage.
However, he did not expect Mu Wanqing to reply to his words.
"Let me go for the marriage. I want to save my brother!”
"Is what Miss Mu said true?"
Gao Shengtai was stunned.
"Why would I lie to you? Duan Yu will inherit the throne in the future and nothing can happen to him. I understand this.”Mu Wanqing said.
"I thank Miss Mu in advance!" Gao Shengtai bowed deeply.
