Chapter 43

Not just a princess, but a princess about to be married off in an alliance!

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

As a Great Tang princess married off in an alliance, if she assassinated the Tibetan envoy and then surrendered to the imperial court, the marriage alliance would be impossible!

If the envoys from other Western Region countries heard about this, they would never allow such a dangerous woman to be their alliance princess.

In this way, she would lose her value for the 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 definitely make her pay with her life.

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

What a fierce 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 alliance marriage, he wanted her!

Hmph!

Didn't you want my life?

Didn't you refuse to marry into Tibet even at the cost of your life?

I insist that you marry over there!

"What do you mean?"

The woman, who had already decided to die, opened her eyes and looked 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 confusion.

What a strange person!

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

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

"What is your name?"

Great Ming Palace, main hall.

It was brightly lit, with music playing.

Li Er sat on the dragon throne, stroking his beard and laughing loudly.

Happy!

Today I am truly damn happy!

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

The Great Tang golden age—His Majesty has finally achieved it!

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

She was Princess Changle!

This was a big day for the whole country to celebrate; as the apple of Li Er and Zhangsun Wugou's eye, Changle naturally would not be absent from such a grand banquet.

"Changle, today is a day of great joy for the whole country. Why are you so unhappy?"

Zhangsun Wugou, who was as meticulous as a hair, naturally noticed Changle's difference and asked with concern.

"Mother, why I am like this—don't you know?" Changle gave a bitter smile, still not looking up.

Zhangsun Wugou was somewhat speechless.

She naturally understood why Changle was like this.

Three days ago.

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

Although it was a bit sudden, Zhangsun Wugou supported it in her heart.

After all, the Zhangsun family was her own family, and Zhangsun Chong was her own nephew; wasn't this just adding family to family? Moreover, in Zhangsun Wugou's eyes, Zhangsun Chong was the fundamental reason for changing the Great Tang's national destiny.

If it weren't for that eternal masterpiece that shocked the world, where would the current Great Tang golden age of ten thousand nations paying tribute come from? From any angle, the union of Changle and Zhangsun Chong was the best choice.
