Having transmigrated into a book, who would still want to be a secondary wife?

Chapter 948 Please Save the Princess

"Actually, I think silver is the most practical, but the marriage alliance with Changping is going to such a far place, so it would be inconvenient to bring silver with us."

I think we should stock up on more jewelry; they're small and can be exchanged for more money.

Chu Muyao pondered, calculating in her mind how much she could offer. In any case, she had to prepare as much as possible for Changping.

Changping overheard Chu Muyao's words as he walked back and couldn't help but laugh.

"This is a marriage alliance, so my dowry will definitely be substantial. You're a princess, why are you preparing a dowry for me?"

Chu Muyao held Changping's hand and said, "Changping, I still want to ask you, are you really doing this voluntarily?"

The Qi-Yue Dynasty is so far away; once you go there, it won't be so easy for your family to see you again.

She was naturally overjoyed when she learned that Changping could go to marry a foreign ruler, because she could finally be with her beloved.

But as a woman herself, she knew what a political marriage meant. Going to such a far place, it would be very difficult to come back again.

Changping noticed Chu Muyao's guilt. She smiled slightly and said, "Actually, for others, a marriage alliance is indeed very painful, but I happen to know Brother Wu."

I had a very happy time with him when I was little, and my mother, before she died, actually hoped that I could be recognized as part of her family.

“My identity has never been a secret to you, but you are a princess and I am a county princess, so we are still different on the surface.”

Now that I have this opportunity, I've become a princess, and I'm sure my mother will be happy to hear the news.

"The people I truly feel sorry for are my current parents. They have treated me like their own daughter since I was little and have always wanted the best for me."

Now that I'm going to marry into a foreign land, they'll definitely be reluctant to let me go, but I don't want them to sacrifice too much for me. However, I really don't want to stay in the capital.

"A short, sharp pain is worse than a long, drawn-out one. Besides, after my father learned that I was going to be married off to a foreign land, he even promoted my father's official rank. I feel that this is something I've done for them."

Changping spoke calmly, her true desire being to leave this place and live in a place where no one knew her.

However, she always felt that such a thought was too selfish, but asking her father to give up his official position and stay away from their own son was even more unacceptable.

Therefore, the current situation is actually the best for her.

If she were to marry someone like Wu Jingshuo, she would indeed hesitate, but Wu Shengze is different. She knows in her heart that he is a good person and he will not mistreat her.

Chu Muyao's worries gradually dissipated with Changping's words. She held Changping's hand and couldn't help but sigh:

“We never had much opportunity to spend time together before. If I had known this would happen, I should have gotten closer to you back then.”

Now that we've finally gotten to know each other, and you'll be leaving soon, I really hate to see you go.

She spoke from the heart. In fact, when she learned about Changping a few years ago, she knew that Changping was a princess on the surface but in reality a princess.

Because she disliked what her father did, she naturally didn't have a good impression of Changping either, but she wouldn't go so far as to make things difficult for her.

Now that she understands what Changping has been through all these years, she feels that all the blame lies with her father, the emperor!

The Emperor himself made mistakes, let down Changping's mother, and caused Changping so much injustice. She was also immature before.

"Fortunately, we managed to get to know each other before we parted ways. Besides, after I leave, you'll probably be getting married soon."

"When I entered the palace, I heard other concubines mention that the Empress was already preparing for your marriage, saying that it was not advisable to delay any longer and that it would be better to get married as soon as possible," Changping said with a smile.

Chu Muyao blushed; that was indeed what her mother had said.

After experiencing this arranged marriage, they were both taken aback, and only one thought remained in their minds: to avoid any unforeseen complications, it would be better to get married as soon as possible.

Once the marriage is complete, everything will be settled, and there will be no need to worry about any further complications.

Everyone was very happy with today's trip.

However, on the way back, someone suddenly rushed in front of Wu Shengze.

"Your Highness, please save our princess!"

Upon hearing this, Song Ruozhen and the others' expressions changed slightly. Based on what he said, it wasn't hard to guess his identity.

"Did Wu Yue'er come to ask for reinforcements?"

Chu Muyao frowned. In her opinion, Wu Yue'er was definitely sick and not a normal person at all.

Even an ordinary girl should have some dignity, but she, a princess sent for a political marriage, had absolutely no dignity to speak of; she could even be described as shameless and despicable.

"It seems that Prince Kang's control is not strict enough."

Song Ruozhen turned to look at Chu Junting. She had warned Prince Kang to be wary of this move before, but she didn't expect that someone would still come.

Chu Junting's eyes were cold and stern as he looked at the person who had come to deliver the message, as if he were looking at a dead man.

"Who dares to stop my distinguished guest? Drag him away and execute him!" Chu Junting said coldly.

Yunyang immediately stepped forward and dragged the person away.

The man clearly hadn't expected to be dragged away without even a chance to speak, and hurriedly shouted:

"Your Highness, our princess is under house arrest! They're all lying to you! Please think of a way to free her!"

"The Chu You Dynasty is going too far! The princess came here for a political marriage, and they treat her like this!"

"laugh!"

Yunyang slit his throat with a single sword stroke.

The sound suddenly stopped.

The guards around him felt a chill run down their spines when they saw Chu Junting's somber expression.

They all knew the Crown Prince's temperament; that he had actually managed to break through today was due to their incompetence, and they would certainly be punished.

Seeing this, Wu Shengze laughed and said, "Your Highness, I didn't see anything."

This person must be deliberately trying to provoke a conflict between us to say these things.

"Indeed, now is the time for the two dynasties to form a marriage alliance, and there are always some petty people who come to cause trouble."

"It was my fault today, allowing such a person to sneak in. I'll treat the prince to some of the capital's specialties later."

Chu Junting's expression returned to normal, as if nothing had happened.

“That would be wonderful, I’m really looking forward to it,” Wu Shengze said.

Song Ruozhen took in the whole scene, her gaze falling on the other guards, but she couldn't discern anything amiss.

However, now that she has spent more time with Jun Ting, she no longer judges things solely by appearances.

After all, in the palace, everyone thinks three steps before taking one, and Jun Ting has always been meticulous in his work.

Today, I'm going on a trip with Wu Shengze, and I'll definitely instruct people to prepare everything so that nothing goes wrong.

The big problem at hand is very likely a test.

He was testing Wu Shengze's attitude towards the matter.
