Chapter 225 Ashina's Fury
From the scene before him, it was obvious that Ashina Kunchu was not being abused. Instead, he was enjoying high-level treatment in the cell.
This made Jingzhao Yin Xue Fei, who brought Wei Ming and Huyan Zhen in, breathe a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she believed what that man said, otherwise her life would be in danger today!
She was originally processing official documents, but unexpectedly her subordinates reported that General Zhongwu was coming with an imperial edict.
She was a little confused until General Wei explained his purpose, then she broke out in a cold sweat.
Fortunately, she was cautious and did not listen to the princess, otherwise she would have lost her life.
He collected his thoughts and said to Wei Ming nervously, "General Wei, the man is inside."
"That person claimed to be the daughter of the Great Prince of Zangrong. I remembered that the Zangrong envoys would arrive in Beijing soon. Out of caution, I did not act according to the order of Her Highness the Crown Princess. This is my dereliction of duty."
"If your majesty punishes me, I will bear the responsibility. I only ask your majesty not to implicate my family."
Wei Ming's face darkened slightly: "How can you blame Master Xue for this?"
We can only blame the princess for her reckless behavior!
Who else could be arrested?
He had to arrest the other party's envoy. Isn't this just asking for trouble?
Wei Ming felt very uncomfortable and resentful about what the princess had done.
"Don't worry, Lord Xue. This matter was caused by Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess. This general can distinguish right from wrong and will plead for you in front of His Majesty when the time comes."
With Wei Ming's assurance, Xue Fei felt a little relieved and his eyes were filled with gratitude towards Wei Ming.
"Then I would like to thank General Wei first."
"Princess!"
When Hu Yanzhen saw that Ashina Kunchu was still alive, his eyes flashed with surprise and he rushed into the cell.
Princess Ashina also saw Huyan Zhen and was stunned for a moment, then her eyes lit up.
"Hu Yanzhen!"
"Are you here to pick me up?"
"This princess knew you would come to rescue me."
Seeing Hu Yanzhen, Ashina felt like she saw a savior. She knew that once the delegation knew she was missing, they would definitely come looking for her!
If anything happened to her, not only would the delegation have to bear the wrath of their mother, but war would also break out between the two countries.
So, she didn't worry at all about what these people would do to her.
Look, you've been treated to delicious food and drinks these days, aren't you afraid of offending yourself?
Princess Ashina snorted in her heart with contempt.
Seeing that Ashina was fine, Huyanzhen's tense mood of the past few days relaxed.
"I'm glad you're okay, Princess. Your disappearance these days has made us extremely worried and we don't know what to do."
"Now that we have found the princess, it is truly the wizard's blessing!"
As he spoke, he changed the subject slightly, his face darkened, and he said, "By the way, Princess, do you still remember the person who ordered you to be thrown into prison?"
When Ashina Kunchu heard Hu Yanzhen mention this, he clenched his fists, his face twisted slightly, his eyes filled with resentment, and he gritted his teeth.
"Of course this princess remembers!"
"That damned Princess Dong Zhou! How dare she lock me up in this shabby place for so long? How abominable!"
Seeing this, Hu Yanzhen said coldly: "Don't worry, Princess. The Eastern Zhou princess dared to do this to you. We must make the Eastern Zhou empress give us an explanation!"
Wei Ming frowned when he saw this: "Don't worry, Princess. His Majesty already knows about your matter. I believe that His Majesty is wise and decisive, and will definitely give you an explanation."
Ashina was still angry and snorted coldly, "It's better to be like this, otherwise I don't mind going to war."
Wei Ming was slightly surprised: "This..."
"Please think twice, Princess. The war between these two countries is unusual. If the war is reignited, I don't know how many people in the Dawn will suffer."
"I hope your Highness will think twice before acting. Do not make an impulsive decision out of anger and ruin the peace between the two countries."
Ashina glared at Wei Ming with a bad look on his face: "Humph, who wants to break the contract?"
"I just arrived in the capital and was arrested as a spy for no apparent reason. If I wasn't lucky, I would have been tortured to death by your people!"
"You still have the nerve to talk about peace between the two countries?!"
