Chapter 684： Duan

   Before Mu Yangling could wait for Fan Zijin, Qiaohui came first.

Mu Yangling raised her eyebrows and said, "Let your girl rest for a while. She wakes up and hasn't eaten anything yet. I'll see her in the afternoon."

Qiaohui hesitated for a moment and then withdrew.

Mu Yangling waited for Fan Zijin to come back, Fan Zijin said stunned: "You said she was Princess Duan?"

Mu Yangling nodded, "I guess."

Fan Zijin frowned, "How could Duan's princess escape to Daqi? Could it be that Dali is in chaos? Haoran is still in Dali."

Mu Yangling waved his hand without worrying at all: "Don't worry, he won't rush to find death, I'll see her in a while, you can listen behind the screen to see what happened to Dali, Haoran is not in Qiannan. , I'm not worried about what happened to him, I'm worried about Qiannan's border defense."

Fan Zijin nodded, Liu Dahei in the Xiying, Lin Man in the Dongying, these two were okay, they were Haoran's confidants, but the generals in the central battalion had always been a little careful and had to guard against them.

When Mu Yangling went to see Duan Yuqing, Duan Yuqing woke up after a sleep, so she drank medicine and ate something, so her face was not as pale as before. When she saw Mu Yangling, she got up and leaned on the back pillow, strong. He smiled and said, "Is the princess here?"

Mu Yangling nodded slightly, Lichun moved a chair for her to sit in front of the bed, "Miss Wang feeling better?"

Duan Yuqing smiled bitterly, "Since the princess has already guessed my identity, why call me Miss Wang again?"

Mu Yangling smiled and said, "I made a mistake in calling Miss Wang by mistake before, please don't mind the girl."

Duan Yuqing shook his head slightly, "Princess was not wrong before, my surname is indeed Duan."

Duan Yuqing looked at Qiaohui, Qiaohui took out a piece of jade from her body and gave it to her respectfully, Duan Yuqing handed it over to Mu Yangling, "This is the jade card of my Duan family."

Mu Yangling took it and looked at it. The front was engraved with a five-clawed auspicious dragon, and the back was engraved with Duan's Yuqing in small characters, "You are the Princess of Dali, so why did you escape here?"

Duan Yuqing looked at the jade card in Mu Yangling's hand, her eyes were reddish, and said: "The Gao clan rebelled and forced the palace, I was sent out of the palace by my father in a hurry, I wanted to hide in Chongsheng Temple, but Chongsheng Temple also happened. In contrast, in desperation, the elders of Chongsheng Temple could only send me to Baiyun Temple in Nanjian, but the Gao clan was so powerful that Baiyun Temple could not protect me, so they could only smuggle me to Daqi, wanting to escape a gust of wind Looking back, who would have expected the Gao clan to be rebellious and pursued all the way, and I was seriously injured... The princess also knows what happened next."

"The Gao clan rebelled, did no one bring things right?"

Duan Yuqing's face was a little ugly, she glanced at Qiaohui, and when she saw her blinking, she sighed: "Don't hide the princess, my Duan's son is weak, and my father is the only one in my life, and the Duan family is only close by blood. There is also a cousin. Although my cousin was sick and weak when he was young, he was still in good health because he practiced martial arts at a young age. My father, the emperor, brought him into the palace to teach him personally. If there is no accident, he will be the next emperor of Dali. Who knows, more than a month ago, my cousin went out hunting, but suddenly fell off his horse and died, my father was in grief, and the Gao family attacked at this time..."

Mu Yangling's face was a little weird, and he said, "Hunting in late spring?"

Duan Yuqing nodded again and again, "At the beginning, my father said that the prey in the late spring is fierce but thin, and it is not suitable for hunting. But who knew this would happen?"

Duan Yuqing's suffering has just begun. The heir whom the Dali Emperor has cultivated for nearly 20 years has died. He has no sons, all his brothers have died, and there are no heirs. The Dali Emperor is not in good health. He is fifty-two years old this year, and it is difficult to train another heir.

The Dali Emperor originally wanted to choose a few larger teachings from the side branches, and it would last a few years, but before this idea had time to come up, Gao turned against it.

If Duan Yuqing's cousin is still there and the Duan family has a legitimate heir, then it will definitely be difficult for the Duan family to rebel, but now the royal family that is directly related to the Duan family and closer to blood has died, and the remaining Duan Yuqing is still a girl .

So when the Gao clan rebelled, everyone was not very firm in their resistance. In just two or three days, the Gao clan's army rushed into the palace. The Dali emperor only had time to send his daughter out. His original intention was to let her go to Chong. Holy Monastery, let the eminent monks of Chongsheng Monastery set things right. Who knows that Chongsheng Monastery also has rebellion, and the Dali Kingdom will be completely chaotic.

Duan Yuqing could only run towards Daqi.

Qiaohui and others ran out to protect Duan Yuqing, holding the idea of ​​contacting the courtiers and putting things right, but when Chongsheng Temple was in chaos, they didn't have such extravagant demands. .

Chongsheng Temple, the state religion of Dali, the place where successive Dali kings and Duan clan masters ordained in their later years.

The Duan family highly respects Buddhism. In addition, the Dali kings, Zhennan kings, and the Duan family masters all studied Buddhism in Chongsheng Temple in their later years. The status of Chongsheng Temple is even more outstanding. It also guarantees the responsibility to set things right. In the past, there were people in the royal family who did evil things, and Chongsheng Temple came forward to mediate or solve them.

So when there is a rebellion this time, the Dali emperor will send his daughter to Chongsheng Temple, but who would have thought that there would be chaos in Chongsheng Temple.

The backing and belief collapsed at the same time. Duan Yuqing and others were in a panic. They could only flee to Qiannan with the people from Baiyun Temple in Nanjian. The host of Baiyun Temple only said a word when they sent them away, hoping to keep Duan's bloodline.

It is Duan Yuqing's idea to keep Duan's bloodline, because she knows that she has no ability to go back and set things right, she can only live as much as possible, continue Duan's bloodline, and look forward to her children being able to return to Dali in 20 years. Back to Chongsheng Temple.

Duan Yuqing and Mu Yangling explained this in detail, and there was only one request, and that was to hope that Mu Yangling would keep her alive and let her live in southern Qiannan and have children. ,

Mu Yangling looked at Duan Yuqing with some sympathy. She turned her head to look at Qiaohui, but saw Qiaohui looking at her pleadingly. Mu Yangling sighed in her heart and didn't tell Duan Yuqing that she had hurt her uterus. There will be no children.

Mu Yangling dodged Duan Yuqing's pleading eyes, she pondered: "Princess Duan, I can't give you an answer now, this matter is very important, I have to report to the Holy Master," Seeing her face gloomy, she hurriedly said: "But I will work hard for you. During this period of time, you can recuperate at ease. You can rest assured that if you live here for one day, I will keep you safe for one day."

Duan Yuqing twitched the corners of his mouth and forced a smile: "Thank you, Princess Qi."

Mu Yangling nodded slightly to Qiaohui, motioning her to take good care of Duan Yuqing, get up and leave.

Duan Yuqing burst into tears and said, "Qiaohui, Princess Qi won't agree to us, we're just afraid..."

Qiaohui was very happy and said: "Your Highness, Princess Qi is good. If she agrees, the servants are afraid that she will have ulterior motives. If she tells the truth like this, she will speak kindly for us in front of Emperor Qi."
