Seventh Master, Madam didn't go back to the mansion today.

"What should Yu Tao do if he doesn't agree with this marriage? His current subordinates are all outside the Quanqiu Pass. His attitude is very important. I'm afraid he won't be able to go to war if he doesn't like it." Xihe said the Queen Mother.

"Mother, let's have a look again. Yutao still dare not refuse you." Emperor Qizhen persuaded, he also didn't want Yutao to be used as a tool for marriage again inexplicably.

The queen mother suddenly brightened her eyes, as if she had found a more suitable candidate: "Hey?! Is that child Yufeng busy suppressing the rebel army recently? The fifth child has been unknown, and he was seriously injured a while ago, right? "

"The Ai family thinks that the fifth child is not bad, he is mature and stable, and he is four years older than Yu Tao. Besides, Princess Ling Xiao has just given birth to a child, and now that she is married, Yu Tao may be distracted when she goes to the battlefield, otherwise Let the princess marry the fifth child! Yu Feng will definitely not refuse." Xi and the queen mother recalculated.

In fact, Xihe and the Empress Dowager did not like the fact that the courtiers held great power, and she planned to divide everyone's rights equally.And Qi Yutao really shouldn't be re-appointed, he has a wild and unruly temperament, and now he still has military power in his hands, if he really inherits the position of Prince Rong in the future, it will be difficult to control.After thinking about it, she prefers someone like Qi Yufeng who is restrained and doesn't know how to lead troops.

"That's it! I won't force Yu Tao to marry a wife! Seeing his little face flushed with Ai's family yesterday, I'm afraid it's [-] unhappy. Then pass the decree and send Gu Yue Kingdom's protector The princess is married to our Prince Wenxuan, and after the wedding, the Prince Jinyu Fengrong will be crowned as Prince Jinyu Fengrong, and the son will inherit the throne from his father."

"Yes." Dechun received Yi's decree and went down to deliver it.

When Xiao Qiye's car arrived in front of the palace, Dechun had already left the palace gate, and the two of them just passed each other.

Qi Yutao glanced over the imperial decree held by Dechun from a distance, didn't pay attention, and went directly into the imperial study.After some respectful salutes and greetings, he cut to the chase and said, "Yu Tao implores the Queen Mother to marry me. I just came back from the battlefield yesterday, and I was too tired to adapt. I almost failed the Queen Mother's kindness. I am willing to marry the guardian of Gu Yue Kingdom." The princess of the country is married."

While Xiao Qiye was waiting for the Queen Mother's compliment and marriage with his head down, a basin of cold water poured down on his head.

"Yutao, didn't you say that you disagree with this marriage? No, the Ai family just ordered someone to pass down the decree for the princess who protects the country to marry the fifth child!"

"Fifth? What is fifth?" Qi Yutao's face changed, and he panicked.

"Ham! What's the fifth brother! Of course it's your fifth brother!"

Boom!It was as if a boulder fell suddenly and hit Qi Yutao hard on the heart.Qi Yutao instantly took a step back, almost out of breath.

"Queen! Queen, don't you want to marry me to that princess? Why did you point it to my fifth brother again?! Queen, I am not unhappy, I am very happy, please make it happen!!" Qi Yutao knelt on his knees, His forehead hit the ground heavily.

The queen mother frowned, feeling displeased, but felt that he was capricious.He waved his hand, and said impatiently: "The decree has been promulgated, you are not joking. It is you who say you don't want it, and you want it. I really don't understand you! Kneel down!"

"Empress Dowager!!" Little Seventh Master straightened his upper body abruptly, trying to defend himself again, but when he saw the reminding eyes from the emperor next to him, he reluctantly withdrew silently.

After exiting the gate of the main hall, the whole person's legs were weak.

Eunuch Dechun just came back from the outside after promulgating the decree. When he saw King Ling Xiao who was about to fall to the ground, he supported him.

"Oh my lord! What's wrong with you!! Call the imperial doctor!"

"No need." Little Seventh Master waved his hand with pale lips, "Dechun, you just went out to pass the decree, right?"

"That's right, Seventh Master, Fifth Master's good news is coming soon, the Queen Mother has bestowed on Fifth Master and the Gu Yue Kingdom's..."

Before Dechun finished speaking, Xiao Qiye only felt that his internal organs were burning badly, and his throat suddenly felt a fishy sweetness, he was ruthlessly endured, and staggered away.

On the second day, Zhuo Yi came to the Queen Mother and the Emperor with a solemn expression: "His Royal Highness, I heard that you suddenly changed your marriage and betrothed our princess to King Wenxuan?"

"I don't agree with this marriage! The princess is my younger sister anyway, but Daning Kingdom betrothed her to this and that like a pawn, without any sincerity. I decided to bring the princess back and not agree to borrow soldiers."

Prince Zhuo Yi, who was still filled with righteous indignation a second ago, turned around, the corner of his mouth slanted, his eyes were full of conspiracy and calculation.His plan is about to succeed.

Song Yitao accepted this decree, and her heart instantly became cold.She understands that in this unfair age, everything is unfair.Song Yitao still decided to go back with Zhuo Yi, she would not marry Fifth Master.

The moment Fifth Master received Yizhi, he also felt dazed, and immediately thought of Seventh Brother.He hurried to the Seventh Brother's Military Affairs Office to look for him, and found that the Seventh Brother had put on his military uniform and assembled a group of soldiers, and he seemed to be about to take this group of imperial guards somewhere.

"Seventh brother! What are you doing!!"

"Fifth brother, the princess who protects the country is Taotao. Prince Gu Yue wants to take Taotao away, so I will take someone to chase after him!!"

"No, seventh brother!" Fifth Master stopped him, "This is the imperial guards guarding the palace. Now that the battle at Quanqiu Pass has not been settled, you have withdrawn another batch of imperial guards. The palace will lose its protection, and there will be chaos! Transferring the imperial army is a serious crime of beheading!"

"Fifth brother, don't worry, I've already arranged the guards in the palace. And I'm going to talk to Prince Zhuoyi about borrowing troops. Don't worry! I'll let him betroth Taotao to me and give him peace of mind." Lend me a soldier, Daning!"

"You are not allowed to go!!" Fifth Master pulled him harder.

"Fifth Brother!! You tried your best to stop me. Are you the one who wants Taotao to marry you?! No matter what, I will take Taotao back today. I can't miss her again!" Covered with bloodshot eyes, he gritted his teeth and looked at Fifth Master.

Song Yitao and Zhuo Yi were already sitting in the carriage going back to the Ancient Moon Kingdom, with the Gobi desert beside them, and the imperial city could no longer be seen behind them, Song Yitao was still reluctant to leave, and from time to time he raised the curtain of the carriage to watch.

As soon as the curtain of the carriage was lowered and he was stirring the handkerchief in frustration, he heard the sound of hooves of thousands of soldiers and horses behind him, and a firm male voice came from a distance: "Tao Tao!"

Song Yitao opened the curtain in surprise and looked back, only to see Xiao Qiye wearing black armor, piercing the sky with a spear in his hand, his galloping mane fluttering in the wind, his vigorous steps carried Xiao Qiye through the dust and fog, heading straight for him sweetheart!

"Heh, it's finally here!" Zhuo Yi looked at Xiao Qiye who was flying towards him, the corners of his mouth twitched, and there was a triumphant smile on his face.

When Song Yitao heard Zhuo Yi's words, she turned around and looked at him in puzzlement.

Zhuo Yi whispered something next to Cong An's ear, "If he takes any action in a while, he will start a war against Daning on the grounds of violating the border of Gu Yue Kingdom. Let the assembled army get ready immediately according to the plan!"

Song Yitao's eyes turned red in an instant: It turns out that this is his purpose. From the beginning to the end, this man has been using him.

At this time, Zhuo Yi had already called to stop the carriage, jumped out of the carriage, strode up to Xiao Qiye, and said, "Why, the prince of Daning came here with his troops and invaded our border, did he want to meet us in arms? ?”

"No...no, I just want to talk to you about something, can you let me meet your princess?" Xiao Qi said as he got off his horse.

"But your horse's head has already stepped into the border of my Ancient Moon Kingdom." Zhuo Yi looked to the left, and directed his gaze to the stone tablet.

Qi Yutao hesitated for a moment, then took a step back, knowing that he was impulsive.

"Little Qiye!" Song Yitao stepped down from the carriage and walked to Zhuo Yi's side, "Let me have a word with him."

Song Yitao walked up to him step by step, took off the veil in front of him, the two looked at each other for a long time, their eyes were red.After a long while, Song Yitao said indifferently: "You go back, if you lead troops here rashly, it will cause conflict between the two countries. Daning Kingdom can no longer afford any war."

"Taotao, I can't miss you one more time, you come with me, okay?" Qi Yutao begged humbly.

"You brought out the imperial guards, what will the emperor do? What about the Daning Kingdom? I don't like your childish appearance at all. You have become a father twice, can you be more mature?" Song Yitao almost yelled up.

"No! I'm sober. I know what I'm doing. I've arranged for the imperial guards to be on duty. Nothing will happen. No matter how much manpower I mobilize today, even if I chase you to the ends of the earth, I will definitely take you away. I I don't want anyone to influence my marriage anymore, I don't want to lose the person I love again." Qi Yutao wanted to take a step forward and hug his Taotao, with tears in his eyes.

Song Yitao lowered her head, forced back her tears, and replied coldly: "No need, I have decided—for the sake of peace between the two countries, follow the Queen Mother's order, and marry the fifth master as my wife."

Qi Yutao took two steps back in disbelief, staring at Song Yitao with dead eyes: "What..."

Qi Yutao couldn't care about the border anymore, so he quickly stepped forward and grabbed her by the shoulder: "Why did you marry Fifth Brother! Do you love him?!"

Song Yitao broke free from him: "I don't love you! But I told you what kind of person I am. Fifth Lord, he has been promoted now, he is Prince Rong, and has a prominent position..."

"Then did you ever love me..."

Song Yitao's eyes were completely red, the word stuck in her throat, but she couldn't make a sound.For Qiye's safety, for the two countries not to cause war, and for Gu Yueguo to lend troops to Daningguo, she must be ruthless. She must push Xiao Qiye away again, and even marry someone she doesn't like. .

"I...I..." Song Yitao choked up.

In order not to let him see her broken heart, Song Yitao pretended to be blinded by the wind and sand, turned around and walked back into the carriage.

Qi Yutao stood in the desert and watched the two carriages drift away, while his eyes were slowly turning red from the yellow sand.
