Daqi and Dachang have been notorious for not dealing with each other a hundred years ago. Before the world settled down, the emperors of the two countries quarreled many times over border matters, letters, battlefields and other occasions. In the end, Dachang occupied two more cities and Daqi married a princess of Dachang. The two countries signed a peace treaty. Since then, the world has ushered in a hundred years of peace.
But now, the century-old agreement is about to expire. After several generations of rule by the Zhou family, Dachang is peaceful and beautiful on the surface, but extremely corrupt on the inside. There have been constant turmoils on the border recently. In order to protect his own glory and wealth, Zhou ordered the marquis of Zhenguo to go to Daqi to negotiate peace again.
When Xu Qingchuan received this task, he immediately felt that his head was twice as big again.
Yesterday, just after the memorial day of his mother, Princess Hua Shao, his unsatisfactory son-in-law father brought his adopted aunt and illegitimate son into the house. But destiny could not be violated, so he had no choice but to say goodbye to his eldest sister hastily and set out on his journey the next day.
On the way, he rescued a man who was being chased. When the man heard that he was going to Daqi, he even wanted to join him, but when he arrived in Daqi, the man disappeared again. He sent someone to check but there was no news. It wasn't until the palace banquet that he found out why there was no news about that person. That person was none other than Daqi's current crown prince - Lu Yian
He originally thought that the trip would only take a few months to be negotiated, but he never thought that the negotiation would last for half a year. The other party made every request difficult for them, and in the end, it was their crown prince who intervened to get the agreement signed.
Xu Qingchuan drank the wine in his glass, turned to look at Lu Yian and asked, "I still can't figure it out, why did you help me?"
Lu Yian filled himself up with wine and said with a smile: "I hope Lord Marquis can do me a favor and help me... Ascend to the throne."
Hearing this, Xu Qingchuan smiled instead, "I am just a small prince of a small country, and a prince of an enemy country. How can I help your highness?"
But Lu Yi'an only looked at him without saying a word and smiled. Xu Qingchuan saw a hint of malicious intent in his smile, but he still smiled, "Then, your highness, can you tell me why I want to help you?"
The prince of an enemy country who looks cold and cold but is actually very dark in society × the young marquis who looks crooked but is actually very evil
"You look so cold, why do you still talk so much?"
"Because I'm not familiar with others"
Intention: I don't know
