Chapter 22

Not only a Princess, but a Princess about to be sent for marriage alliance!

Guessing this, Qin Mu immediately understood why she wanted to kill him, the Tibetan envoy.

As a Great Tang Princess sent for marriage, if she assassinated a Tibetan envoy and then surrendered to the imperial court, the marriage alliance would be impossible!

If envoys from other Western Regions nations heard of this, they would never allow such a dangerous woman to be a marriage-alliance Princess.

In this way, she would lose her value for the marriage alliance, and she would have achieved her goal.

It was just that the price would be quite heavy.

If the assassination were successful, Li Er, to appease public anger and maintain the Great Tang’s face, would certainly make her pay with her life.

And all of this, this woman seemed to have anticipated long ago, and she held the resolve to die.

What a fiery Princess!

The Green Lotus Sword slowly moved away from her snow-white neck.

Qin Mu made a decision.

Spare her life!

Not only that, for this marriage alliance, he wanted her!

Hmph!

Don't you want my life?

Aren't you unwilling to marry into Tibet even at the cost of death?

I insist that you marry over!

"What do you mean?"

The woman who had already resolved to die opened her eyes, looking at Qin Mu with some confusion.

Qin Mu did not answer her question, but turned and walked toward the stone steps again.

The woman behind him watched his departing back, her eyes full of bewilderment.

What a strange person!

Just as Qin Mu walked down the stone steps, he suddenly stopped and turned to ask the woman:

The woman was stunned for a moment, then involuntarily replied: "Li Li Xueyan."

"What is your name?"

Great Ming Palace, Main Hall.

The lights were bright, and the sound of music was constant.

Li Er sat on the Dragon Throne, stroking his beard and laughing loudly.

Happy!

Today, he was truly damn happy!

Empress Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wugou sat in the seat next to Li Er, and seeing this scene, she felt quite gratified.

The flourishing age of the Great Tang, the Emperor had finally achieved it!

A young girl with red lips and white teeth sat beside Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wugou, head lowered, saying nothing, as if the surrounding clamor had nothing to do with her.

She was Princess Princess Changle!

This was a grand day of national celebration, and as the apple of Li Er and Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wugou’s eye, Princess Changle naturally would not be absent from such a grand banquet.

"Princess Changle, today is a joyous day of national celebration, why are you so unhappy?"

The meticulous Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wugou naturally noticed Princess Changle’s abnormality and asked with concern.

"Mother, why I am Wu Li Ke this, do you not know?" Princess Changle gave a bitter smile, still not looking up.

Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wugou was somewhat speechless.

She certainly understood why Princess Changle was Wu Li Ke this.

Three days ago.

Li Er suddenly announced that he would marry Princess Changle to Empress Zhangsun Chong.

Although it was somewhat sudden, Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wugou supported it in her heart.

After all, the Empress Zhangsun family was her own kin, and Empress Zhangsun Chong was her own nephew; wasn't this just bringing their families closer? Moreover, in Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wugou’s eyes, Empress Zhangsun Chong was the fundamental reason for changing the Great Tang’s national destiny.

If not for that legendary essay of his that shocked the world, where would the current flourishing Great Tang with nations coming to pay homage come from? From any perspective, the union of Princess Changle and Empress Zhangsun Chong was the best choice.

But things often don't turn out as perfectly as imagined.

The usually obedient and lovely Princess Changle reacted extremely violently upon hearing this, saying she would not marry Empress Zhangsun Chong no matter what.

But this matter was simply not up to her.

And it was precisely because of this.

That Princess Changle was unhappy.

Just then, Li Er raised his wine cup and stood up slowly.

The hall fell silent instantly.

The envoys from various nations, civil and military officials, and imperial relatives all raised their cups and listened quietly.

"Today is a joyous day for our Great Tang, and also a day for the whole country to celebrate."

"Qian'er, toast everyone here on my behalf."

Li Er glanced at Li Li Chengqian beside him calmly.

"I obey, Father!"

Li Li Chengqian stood up and walked in front of everyone.

But as soon as he appeared, a trace of strangeness flashed in everyone's eyes.

There was no other reason.

It was just that Li Li Chengqian's image was truly unbearable.

Short and stout, with a bulky build.

Not a trace of imperial aura could be seen on his dark, flushed face.

"I hope everyone drinks to their heart's content."

Especially with the luxurious crown prince's robes draped over him, he looked so out of place.

Even Gar Tongtsen frowned slightly.

How strange!

Although the Great Tang Emperor was not a handsome, dashing young man, he still had the appearance of an emperor, exceptionally heroic.

The Great Tang Empress was even more beautiful and moving.

How could this pair of dragons and phoenixes among men give birth to such an unbearable son?

He didn't look Wu Li Ke a royal descendant at all, but rather Wu Li Ke a farmer!

Li Er and Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wugou didn't seem to care about this, their eyes full of encouragement and love.

They knew well that they owed this child too much.

No matter his appearance, temperament, or ability, it could not change the fact that Li Li Chengqian was their biological son.

Among all the nobles in the court, only one person had a different expression.

Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji!

At this moment, he was looking at Li Li Chengqian with a smile.

In this world, only he knew the huge secret behind Li Li Chengqian.

And this secret would make their Empress Zhangsun family prosper forever!

"Ev... everyone, please drink this cup together!"

Li Li Chengqian, holding his wine cup, stood in front of the crowd, his eyes panicked, cold sweat on his forehead, looking very flustered.

An irredeemable fool!

That must be what describes Li Li Chengqian.

"Thank you, Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

Although everyone was a bit disappointed, they still gave Li Li Chengqian enough face.

"Hmph!"

"Compared to our Great Qin's Emperor, this Great Tang Crown Prince is Wu Li Ke heaven and earth!"

Gar Tongtsen smiled contemptuously, the image of Qin Mu's imperial aura, swallowing thousands of miles Wu Li Ke a tiger, appearing in his mind, and he straightened his back involuntarily.

Proud!
