Chapter 157 You may have forgotten that there is another princess in his Jin Palace
Su Muxi used coercion, inducement, and even a little coaxing, and He Yuncheng agreed.
He asked Su Muxi to let him go first. Su Muxi was not stupid and only loosened one of his arms. He Yuncheng's idea did not come true. He stiffened his neck and said, "How can I write like this?"
Su Muxi lifted him up and threw him next to the low table, laying out paper and pen, "Okay, you can write now."
"Don't try to play tricks, He Yuncheng, you should know that if this matter alarms Xiao Yunjin, you will also be skinned alive," Su Muxi threatened in a low voice, "Tell me about your identity swap with Xiao Yunjin, if it is exposed, who will be the first to die?"
This sentence was so devastating that He Yuncheng was completely stunned. Su Muxi actually knew about it. She knew that he and Xiao Yunjin had exchanged identities. Not only was she not afraid, she even took advantage of the situation and forced him to write a divorce letter.
He Yuncheng was shocked in his heart but his expression remained calm. Pretending to be Xiao Yunjin was somewhat useful. At least he did not lose his composure at this moment.
"Su Muxi, you are very ambitious! Why, you want to divorce me and follow Xiao Yunjin? I'm afraid you forgot that he has a princess in the Prince Jin's mansion."
Su Muxi didn't care about He Yuncheng's provocation and asked in a deep voice: "He Yuncheng, are you really willing? You look the same, but you can only be the replacement, like a rat in the gutter, unable to see the light."
How could He Yuncheng remain indifferent when his secrets were exposed? "Su Muxi's attempts to sow discord are useless. We have different identities and naturally different positions."
"What if they are the same identity?" Su Muxi smiled, her bright face shining like the rays of the sun. She took out a brocade box and said, "There is a secret hidden in it. Do you want to know what it is?"
What if their identities are the same! This sentence echoed in He Yuncheng's mind like a curse. He was madly jealous of Xiao Yunjin's identity, but if he was also a prince, how great it would be!
He couldn't resist the temptation and asked, "What secret?"
Su Muxi took the box back and played with it in her hand. "Then we need to see whether your divorce letter is well written or not. I will definitely satisfy you."
He Yuncheng picked up the pen as if possessed by a ghost. The secret was too tempting for him.
Su Muxi really laughed this time, from the bottom of her heart. She didn't take the brocade box seriously at that time. At most, it was just some kind of confidential information.
No one expected that what was hidden inside was actually the secret of the Yun Dynasty royal family. He Yuncheng was the emperor's son, and he had a child long before the wife of Marquis Yong'an got married.
No matter what happened back then, the love and hate, and how the secret came into Qi Wu's hands, none of these are important. What is important is, after He Yuncheng knows about this, will he still be willing to be Xiao Yunjin's substitute?
He Yuncheng finished writing, Su Muxi picked it up and read it once. After confirming that it was correct, she took He Yuncheng's finger and pressed a handprint.
She put the brocade box on the table and pushed it in front of He Yuncheng. "I keep my word. Don't thank me too much."
The box was open, and inside was a brocade handkerchief embroidered with plum blossoms. On the handkerchief was a letter from Marquis Yong'an to the emperor when she found out she was pregnant. However, the handkerchief did not reach the emperor's hands, but was intercepted by someone. The person who intercepted the letter kept the secret hidden for more than 20 years.
The box was opened thanks to Chen'er. When he was playing in Su Muxi's room, he chose the box. I don't know how he fiddled with it, but it opened with a bang. Su Muxi was shocked at the time. She was afraid that something might happen to Chen'er, but she didn't expect to see this secret.
He Yuncheng watched and suddenly laughed. After a long while, he came back to his senses. He said to Su Muxi, "How about we work together?"
"What do you want to cooperate on?" Su Muxi looked at him with amusement, which was really exciting!
After getting the thing, he didn't confirm its authenticity first, but started planning for the future. Although it was real, his impatient look was still a little bit short of Xiao Yunjin's. But it was better than nothing, and it was not bad to be able to create trouble for Xiao Yunjin.
This peace talk was unexpectedly tiring. Without Su Muxi, Jinling seemed like a different person, very difficult to deal with. The Second Prince was also very good at negotiation. He usually didn't talk, but once he opened his mouth, he could hit the nail on the head.
Xiao Yunjin was getting impatient and wanted to end it quickly several times, but the other party had grasped their bottom line and it was difficult for them to gain any benefits.
To be honest, the cities of Feng State are seriously scattered. There are now four cities guarding the northwest. If there are four more, military supplies, food, and civilian resettlement will all be very expensive. They just want to exchange the cities for horses.
But the other party obviously guessed their purpose and remained in a stalemate. Everything else was fine except changing horses.
The conversation lasted from early morning to noon. Xiao Yunjin could no longer sit still. He jumped up from his seat and said, "Whether it succeeds or not, let's fight. Why are you talking so much nonsense?"
He had been feeling upset today and always felt that something was going to happen. He left his words and walked out. The others followed suit and stood up. Seeing that the talk was about to stall, Su Zhen stopped them.
"Prince Jin, my daughter is not feeling well and needs to return to the capital as soon as possible. Can you please sit down and talk with me?"
After Su Zhen finished speaking, he looked at Jin Ling again and said, "Second Prince, Little Prince, we have made many concessions today, which can be regarded as a courtesy. Since you are not sincere, we can also tell the residents of Bian, Yan, Hong, and Shi the results of the detailed discussion. I think they will recognize the reality and should be willing to submit to our Dayun Dynasty."
No one present could compare to Su Zhen in his understanding of the Northwest. Jinling might be able to threaten others, but it was impossible for him. It was okay for Biancheng or Yancheng, but how could they let go of the defense line established in Hongcheng and Shicheng?
Hongcheng Shicheng was under his control, and indeed the military supplies were seriously depleted, but it was like sitting at the door of Fengguo. If he knocked on the door for no reason in the future, they would not be able to live in peace. Not to mention that Fengguo was currently engaged in a civil war.
Su Zhen intimidated the other party with just a few words. He gave a good warning first and then gave a sweet treat. Xiao Yunjin frowned slightly, always feeling that Su Zhen was targeting him. However, the Second Prince and Jin Ling have been much more honest now, so the peace talks should be much faster. Xiao Yunjin sat back down.
This time, everything went according to plan. No one spoke loudly. Half an hour later, the talks ended. Su Zhen stood up and said, "I have prepared some wine and food in advance. Please, Second Prince!"
Jin Chengyun was upset. They paid compensation and ceded land, but now they had to drink the other party's celebratory wine. He looked at Jinling, thinking that Jinling had just endured it and would not agree.
Jin Ling's face wasn't looking good either, but Su Muxi promised him that she would meet with him after the negotiations, so he didn't object and nodded in agreement.
Jin Chengyun was so angry that he said with a fake smile, "Thank you for the hospitality."
