Save the Bachelor of Heaven

After going to court, Xiang Nan went to see the Empress Dowager.

"Grandma, the great-grandson will leave for Xizhou in two days." He said to the Empress Dowager, "Do you have any letter for Aunt Mingyuan?"

"Good boy, you have a heart." The Empress Dowager nodded and handed a letter to Xiang Nan.

In addition, clothes, jewelry, food, etc. were prepared for Mingyuan. It can be seen that she loves Princess Mingyuan very much.

"Tell Mingyuan, you must take good care of your health, don't let me, an old woman, send a white-haired person to a black-haired person." The Empress Dowager said with red eyes.

"Yes, grandma." Xiang Nan nodded, and then went to Fangshi to prepare a batch of medicinal materials.

Before that, Feng Chao had received a message from Ming Yuanchang Princess, knowing that she was due to a serious illness and was about to die soon.

Therefore, in order to stabilize the relationship between Feng Dynasty and Xizhou, it was suggested that Feng Dynasty marry the first princess of Xizhou as the crown princess, so as to consolidate the diplomatic relations between the two countries.

Of course, this is purely fiction.

Because since ancient times, the emperor has inherited the heaviest blood. If it is not my race, its heart must be different.

Qu Xiaofeng, as a princess of a defeated foreign country, was already a fluke to be accepted as a side concubine. It was absolutely impossible for her to become a crown prince, and it was even more impossible for her son to succeed her as emperor.

It seems that at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, Bianliang was destroyed by the Jin Dynasty, and the emperor, concubines, and princesses were all kidnapped. After they were brought back to northern Xinjiang, they were all demoted as slaves and abused and trampled at will.

As for Princess Mingyuan's illness, although she did not reveal it in the letter, Xiang Nan had watched the episode and knew that she was suffering from tuberculosis.

This disease was indeed terminally ill in ancient times. However, Xiang Nan has a way to heal one or two.

Even if he can't achieve the effect of recovery, at least he can live for a few more years without any problem.

And as long as Princess Mingyuan is still alive, Gao Xian will not dare to be too rampant in Xizhou.

He couldn't do the evil deeds of killing the empress of Xizhou and driving the king of Xizhou crazy. In this way, Qu Xiaofeng would at least hate him less.

...

That night, Xiang Nan went to Gao Xiangfu to meet his uncle Gao Ming.

"It's a good thing that the fifth prince can go to the western region." Gao Ming nodded, "However, the western region is turbulent and dangerous, so the fifth prince should be careful."

"Thank you uncle for your entrustment, Cheng Yin will keep it in his heart." Xiang Nan bowed and said, "I'm going to the western region, and I have to ask my cousin Gao Xian for his support."

"Well, everyone is a family, it's a natural thing." Gao Ming nodded.

"Then does uncle have any letter to send to cousin Gao Xian, Cheng Yin can take it along the way." Xiang Nan asked again.

In fact, there has always been a messenger between the Gao family and the Western Territory, even if there is a letter, it is not wrong for him to deliver it. What Xiang Nan wants is actually a recommendation letter written by Gao Xian, so that Gao Xian can treat him better.

Because Gao Xian went to the western region to develop early on, he has hardly met Li Chengyin, so the relationship is naturally very weak. Having a recommendation letter written by Gao Ming will undoubtedly deepen the relationship between the two.

"Fifth Prince is interested. I have a letter that I want you to bring to Xian'er." Gao Ming nodded, then took out a letter and handed it to Xiang Nan.

"Uncle, don't worry, Cheng Yin will definitely deliver the letter safely." Xiang Nan took the letter and carefully put it away.

...

Two days later, Li Chengye, Xiang Nan, and Li Feng went to the western region first.

"Second brother, I'm going to the west together this time, please take care of me." Xiang Nan cupped his hands and smiled at Li Chengye.

"Don't worry, we are all brothers, I will take care of you naturally." Li Chengye said with a half smile.

He didn't expect the fifth younger brother, who had always been lazy, to start working hard now. The wit, intelligence, and courage shown made him a little afraid.

Especially when he was going to the western region, he was even more worried.

Because he knew that the fifth younger brother's cousin, Gao Xian, was now the protector of the Anhu Mansion in the Western Territory. And Fifth Brother's good friend Pei Zhao is also working in Anhu Mansion.

Therefore, when the fifth younger brother arrived in the western region, he could be said to be like a tiger with wings added, and his power would not be inferior to him. In this way, you have to be extremely careful.

"It seems that the death of the crown prince made the fifth brother also have thoughts that he shouldn't have." Li Chengyin thought in his heart.

And he will not let anyone take away his crown prince, even if it is his brother or father, he will still kill him.

...

The group immediately left Shangjing and headed for the western region.

Just when I arrived at the ten-mile long pavilion, I heard a person shout loudly, "Your Highness~"

Li Chengye and Xiang Nan looked around, and saw a young and beautiful woman standing under the ten-mile long pavilion.

Xiang Nan was taken aback, and recognized that this woman was Zhao Sese, the daughter of General Fuguo Zhao Jingyu.

He immediately patted his horse and went forward, "Miss Zhao, why are you here?"

"Sese heard that His Highness was going to Xizhou, so he waited here specially." Zhao Sesel explained.

When Xiang Nan heard this, he smiled slightly.

"This is a sachet that Sese personally sewed for His Highness." At this time, Zhao Sese took out another sachet with exquisite embroidery and handed it to Xiang Nan.

"Miss Zhao, what's the meaning of this~" Xiang Nan pretended not to know.

In fact, he knew Zhao Sesur's affection for Li Chengyin, but he also knew that Li Chengyin didn't have that kind of thought towards Zhao Sesur, and only regarded her as a childhood playmate.

Li Chengyin started to take advantage of Zhao Sese's affection for him to win over General Zhao Jingyu when the crown prince was assassinated, he was burdened with blood and deep hatred, and determined to climb up.

Seeing Xiang Nan's question, Zhao Sesel was obviously aggrieved, "Does Your Highness really not know Sesel's thoughts?"

"This trip to the west has been windy with knives and swords, bloody and rainy. I don't know when I will be able to return to the capital. Cheng Yin will not be able to repay Miss Zhao's kindness." Xiang Nan explained.

This time I went to the Western Region to fight a war. And there will be casualties in war, not to mention backstabbing and sniping. Even the prince will be assassinated, so how can the others be spared.

"I'm willing to wait! If Your Highness doesn't come back for a year, Sesel will wait for you for a year; if he doesn't return for ten years, he will wait for you for ten years; if he doesn't return for a lifetime, Sesel will wait for you forever." Zhao Sese said emotionally, "It's a long journey, please take care, Your Highness."

Seeing what she said, Xiang Nan was a little moved.

Although Zhao Sese also used Li Chengyin and played tricks, overall, she still loved him.

This infatuation alone is hard to come by.

It's a pity that Li Chengyin is too much of a dog, he plots against the infatuated Zhao Sese, and defends Qu Xiaofeng who hates him, it seems like he has some serious illness.

"I remember, take care of yourself in Shangjing." Xiang Nan nodded, then turned and left.

Zhao Sese watched him leave with tenderness in his eyes.

...

"Fifth brother, who is this girl?" Li Chengye asked with a smile.

"The eldest daughter of General Fuguo Zhao Jingyu." Xiang Nan explained.

"You look really good, the fifth prince is very lucky." Li Feng said with a smile.

When Xiang Nan heard this, he gave him a cross-eyed look, expressing his dissatisfaction.

Seeing this, Li Feng couldn't help being angry.

Although he is only the son of the loyal king, he is sure that Li Chengye will ascend the throne as emperor in the future, and he will also be under one man and over ten thousand people.

At that time, Xiang Nan, as the prince who failed to seize the heir apparent, would have been relegated to nowhere, so he was not afraid of Xiang Nan at all.

Seeing that Xiang Nan dared to roll his eyes at him now, he was naturally angry.

Li Chengye shook his head at him, signaling him to appease his anger, now is not the time for infighting.

Only then did Li Feng suppress his breath.
