"Princess Xiangning has been married before. Master, don't you know that?"

Su Qiu obviously didn't expect that Su Shixia didn't even know the details of her "love rival". She took advantage of helping Su Shixia tidy up her clothes and carefully talked to Su Shixia about the past of Princess Xiangning.

The current Holy Emperor only succeeded to the throne after a palace coup, and several of his brothers had already died due to killing each other when they competed for the throne.

Of the late emperor's bloodline, the only ones left alive today are the emperor and the eldest princess. In addition, the eldest princess is the biological sister of the emperor's mother, so the emperor naturally takes great care of her.

After the Holy Emperor ascended the throne, he not only ordered the construction of the eldest princess's palace, but also personally decreed a marriage and recruited Ning Zhiyuan, the second son of Duke Jingguo, who was known as the unparalleled son at that time, as the eldest princess's consort.

"This all happened more than twenty years ago. I was not born yet at that time, so naturally I have never witnessed the elegance of the prince-in-law with my own eyes."

Su Qiu said with sighs, "But before I entered the house, I heard some old people in the capital talking about it. The reason why the Wushuang Young Master was called 'Wushuang' was because no matter his status, appearance, or talent, he was...

He is also impeccable in terms of his physical ability. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the dream lover of all the ladies in the capital."

Su Shixia just smiled when she heard this and didn't take it seriously. Rumors are the most unbelievable things. She knew this very well.

Su Qiu could see what Su Shixia was thinking, and murmured in a low voice with some dissatisfaction, "What I said is true! The old man said that he had a nose and eyes, and everyone still remembers the handsome appearance of the unparalleled young master.

Woolen cloth."

"Even...even if Young Master Wushuang is not as perfect as they say, he was still a well-known figure in Shangjing City back then. At least he is no worse than King Pingxi today!"

"The Duke of Zhenguo?"

"It's a bit sinister to talk about it."

"The eldest princess also has a deep affection for her husband. After the unparalleled young master died of illness, she did not remarry and lived with the princess of Xiangning."

Su Shixia seemed to be coaxing Su Qiu, and said with a smile: "Isn't he the eldest princess's husband? Today is the eldest princess's birthday party anyway. What kind of young master Wushuang is I will naturally know after I go see him today.

"

"Because Princess Xiangning is her and the consort's only flesh and blood, the eldest princess naturally loves Princess Xiangning very much. She has been protective of her since she was a child, and is unwilling to let her suffer any injustice."

"The journey went smoothly. After arriving at Zhen Guo Gong's mansion, the two of them also went to court smoothly. However, on the night of their wedding, enemy troops from the Xiqi Kingdom suddenly invaded. The Zhen Guo Gong's son led troops to meet the enemy.

Once I left, I never came back.”

"I heard that the princess of Xiangning County and the eldest son of Duke Zhenguo had not consummated their marriage that night. However, because the two of them had already worshiped heaven and earth, Princess Xiangning was already the eldest concubine. Therefore, when the eldest son of Duke Zhenguo passed away, she also

You must observe mourning for the prince for one year."

There was obvious uncertainty in her tone, but Su Qiu nodded with certainty and said: "Yes, Master, you remember correctly, the Lu family of the Duke of Zhenguo is at the border! So when Princess Xiangning got married, she went directly to the border.

."

"The Holy One is the same. He only wishes to give the good things in the world to Princess Xiangning. When the Princess of Xiangning was about to grow hair, the Holy One himself gave her a marriage to Lu Shaocheng, the eldest son of the Duke of Zhenguo."

Su Qiu said: "He was hacked to death by people from the Xiqi Kingdom and was trampled by horse hooves. When the body was recovered, it was already beyond recognition. We could only identify it by relying on some things he was wearing.

His identity."

"yes!"

"The prince of the Duke of Zhenguo was in his prime at that time. I heard that he was also good at both civil and military affairs and had outstanding appearance. He could be called the proud son of heaven. If not for this, the Holy Emperor would not have personally decreed a marriage between him and the Princess of Xiangning."

Su Qiu lowered her voice and said mysteriously, "Because the Lu family is at the border, the Crown Prince of Zhen Guo personally came to the capital to welcome his bride, and took Princess Xiangning all the way to the Duke Zhen Guo's mansion at the border."

After Su Qiu heard Su Shixia's words, she became more and more helpless, "Princess Xiangning lost her father when she was young! Less than half a year after the eldest princess gave birth to Princess Xiangning, the young master Wushuang had already passed away!"

What she remembers now is just what she heard from people occasionally before, and she herself is not sure whether the information is accurate or not.

"At that time, everyone thought that this was a God-given match, and the two would definitely be happy after getting married, but... something happened in the end."

Su Shixia looked at Su Qiu suspiciously, "The two children of the Xie family came here specifically to tell me that they were still young when Qin Yi adopted them. During the years when they were at the border, Princess Xiangning often went there

Visit them."

"If I remember correctly, the Lu family of the Duke of Zhenguo should not be in Shangjing City, right? His family seems to be stationed at the border all year round. It is because they have to guard the national border for the Dongling Kingdom that they were named the Duke of Zhenguo?"

"Okay, okay, I believe, I believe."

Su Shixia narrowed her eyes slightly, finally having some impression this time.

What disease is so serious? It took half a year for everyone in the house to die?

Su Shixia frowned slightly, her curiosity aroused by this matter, but Su Qiu did not continue to talk about it and only brought the topic back to Princess Xiangning.

"Master, you really don't care about going to the capital at all!"

"One year?"

Although the memories of the two lives have been completely integrated, she was in the countryside when she was young in this life, and has been trapped in the inner house since she arrived in Shangjing City. She does not know much about the situation in Dongling Kingdom and Shangjing City.

Su Shixia's brows jumped heavily when he heard this, "Dead?"

When Su Qiu said this, she couldn't help but sigh again, "I don't know whether it was because the young master Wushuang was too short-lived to bear the favor of the heavenly family, or because the Ning family of Jingguo was destined to have this obstacle. In the past two years, there was an epidemic in the capital.

, everyone in the Duke of Jingguo’s mansion was infected with a strange disease, and within half a year, everyone in the mansion died of the disease one after another.”

"According to what they said, Princess Xiangning has been at the border for more than a year."

"Isn't that because of the prince?"

Seeing that Su Shixia still didn't understand the situation, Su Qiu reminded helplessly: "The year Princess Xiangning got married was also the year you married the prince. The defense of the Zhenguo Palace was not good, which led to the loss of the border.

When the news came back to the capital, the Holy Emperor was furious, so he issued a special order for the prince to lead troops to the border."

"Your Majesty left on your wedding night to clean up the mess left by the Zhenguo Palace."

Su Qiu said anxiously: "Master, you still can't figure it out? Princess Xiangning can come back as long as she observes mourning for one year, but she has stayed at the border for five full years, and she still wants to come back with the prince!
