A word is like a bolt from the blue, and in a blink of an eye, the years are as quiet as fragile glass, leaving only wreckage on the ground.

Could it be that God's will really cannot be violated? I changed the destiny without authorization, that's why I let things develop like this, and even caused the death of the elder brother of the prince!

Wu Jie stood up, but felt dizzy, the family and happiness in front of her were so far away from her.

"Jieer!"

Amid the exclamation, Wu Jie fell limply to the ground.

When he woke up again, he was on his own bed.

Princess Lu was staring at her daughter, her eyes were red. Wu Wan was also beside her, looking at her sister nervously, her brows were full of exhaustion from not sleeping well.

Wu Jie glanced over, feeling guilty for a while, she was clearly determined not to run away, yet she made her family worry again.

"Mother..." Wu Jie whispered.

Seeing her daughter waking up, Princess Lu finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Jie'er, don't be too sad. Mother knows that you have a good relationship with the prince, and you are no worse than brothers and sisters. You feel uncomfortable, but you have to cherish it." Me and your father, and Wan'er, because I was worried about you, I didn't sleep well for two days and one night."

Wu Jie's heart was full of guilt: "Mother taught me that."

"It's all that hateful South Chen. I didn't expect that I have served Dongyue for many years, but now I have no choice but to act cruelly like this."

"South Chen?" Wu Jie was taken aback. Could it be that South Chen was responsible for the accident on the prince's brother's boat?

"There is no evidence at present, only that His Royal Highness's fleet happened to encounter a storm. However, the informant in South Chen said that dozens of warships sailed from South Chen port ten days ago. All the way to the north, and then disappeared. It's gone." Concubine Lu said the news she heard from her husband, her face full of resentment.

"The ships brought by the prince this time are all top-notch large ships. If there is a storm, it is impossible for dozens of ships to survive. Most likely, someone secretly assassinated them."

Wu Jie was silent. If it was South Chen who jumped the wall in a hurry, it was indeed possible to act in this way.

After all, even though South Chen retreated consecutively on land, its navy army was well-deservedly number one in the world, and the Northern Wei Dynasty was far behind in this regard.

The prince was buried at sea, and the court and the people of Dongyue filled the ground with mourning songs.

Wu Zhen was not only the prince of Dongyue, but also a well-known talent in Dongyue. He had a high reputation both in the court and among the people. Almost everyone mourned his unexpected death.

For the next few days, Emperor Zhengen never went to court, let alone eat or speak, and Concubine Lu Gui became seriously ill.

The majestic prince of a country was buried in the sea, and even his body could not be recovered. The desolation is beyond words.

Dongyue dispatched hundreds of fleets to salvage and search the sea area where the accident occurred, and even many private ships spontaneously went nearby to assist.

However, only the wreckage of some wooden boats were found, with traces of flames scorched on them, and the corpses of two or three palace servants. There are obvious sword wounds on it, all naked and revealing that the death of Prince Wu Zhen was by no means an ordinary hurricane accident, but man-made.

Emperor Zheng En was completely disappointed with South Chen, and even more disgusted with Empress Chen. At this time, although the ruling and opposition parties suspected that it was South Chen's handwriting, there was no evidence.

Not long after, the Northern Wei Dynasty sent a letter of credence, with sincere words, and deeply regretted and mourned the death of the prince Wu Zhen. At the same time, there was also a white jade box with black hair in full bloom.

It was Princess Qingning who broke her will after hearing that Prince Wu Zhen died unexpectedly, vowed to keep chastity all her life, and never marry again.

It can be said that both public and private, the Northern Wei Dynasty performed impeccably. Therefore, Dongyue could not refuse the Northern Wei Dynasty's request for marriage again.

*************

Standing on the boat, looking at the mighty river, Wu Jie suddenly remembered a sentence.

"Life in the world is suddenly like a traveler." I remember the last time I went to Wu Zhen's East Palace and met him reading this sentence.

What did you say at that time?

"Brother Prince only sees the vastness of the world and the few people who travel far away. Why didn't he see that there are beautiful women in the north who are peerless and independent, looking at the city of Qingren and then the country of Qingren. Is this an article?"

Ha, if life could be repeated again, she would rather stop planning so much and obediently embark on the road of marriage.

Just like now, after the death of Prince Wu Zhen, she was once again canonized as Princess Jinning and embarked on the road that she had traveled.

If you want to say something different, it's just that the time is three months later than the previous life.

The time spent with my family for three months is the last warmth of my life.

Through the veiled hat, the cold wind blows through the messy hair, bringing a chill. When I arrived in Capital City of the Northern Wei Dynasty, it should be snowing.

I remember that this year, the snow fell very early.

It's fine to do it all over again, if God destined her to struggle to survive in that palace, then she resigned to her fate and accepted it. However, she will not be a loser like in her previous life. This time, for her own family, for the people of Dongyue, and for the sake of the deceased prince brother, she will strive to make progress, and will never be the loser who lives in seclusion and blindly escapes. .

Empress Gao, Concubine Shen Gui, Lu Zhaoyi... Ha, I'm going to meet you again.

"Princess."

A familiar voice came from behind, it was Zifen. Since recovering from her injury, she has become a lot quieter.

In fact, Wu Jie didn't want her to accompany her to marry the Northern Wei Dynasty this time. In her previous life, she brought dozens of Dongyue maids by her side, whether it was Zifen or Chi Rui, they all withered and died one after another in the sinister struggle of the palace.

In this life, even if she wants to repeat the old path before. But he couldn't bear the heart of these maids who had served him for many years to go to that dangerous place again. So after she was canonized as a princess and married, she asked Concubine Lu to release all the maids around her according to her own wishes, or release them from their citizenship, or arrange other jobs.

Although I am about to lead an unpredictable and unknown life, at least these girls, with their own efforts, have a new and happy life.

Chi Rui and the others all left under their own persuasion, only Zifen refused to leave no matter what.

Even Concubine Lu advised her that there must be a trustworthy person by her side.

At the end of the stalemate, Wu Jie had no choice but to agree to let Zihui stay.

So now, beside Wu Jie, there is only this one person who can talk. Although there are many other palace maids and servants, they are all arranged by the palace. Of course, under Wu Jie's request, the number of dowries is also greatly reduced compared to the previous life. Anyway, the court of the Northern Wei Dynasty did not lack manpower to serve.

"Princess, it's cold outside, let's go back to the cabin and rest for a while."

"Alright, you can send someone to tell the chief guard in front of you later, when you get to Lu rivier's mouth, stop the boat and rest for a day before setting off."

"This... we are sailing so slowly, if we continue to delay, I am afraid that the people waiting for us in the country of Wei will not be able to wait."

"Wei Guo won't be able to afford to wait for this little time." Wu Jie said in a deep voice. The reason for this arrangement is actually to arrive at the Capital City of the Northern Wei Dynasty earlier. I remember that in my previous life, because I was not acclimatized to the environment, and because I was traveling too fast, I fell seriously ill halfway through the journey, and the entire fleet had to be in Song'an City. After staying there, he rested for almost a month before he barely recovered and was able to travel.

Now that you know it, then of course you have to walk slowly and take care of your diet, so as not to suffer from the pain again.

Anyway, because of the matter of Prince Wu Zhen, the Northern Wei Dynasty is now extremely polite to Dongyue, and also takes good care of himself, the future imperial concubine.

Zifen had no choice but to go according to the arrangement.

Wu Jie went back to her room, picked up a book and read it casually for a while, then a maid came to report that the boat had arrived at the port of Lu rivier and was going to rest for a day according to her order.

The accompanying Great Wei etiquette officer had already ordered people to sweep and prepare the room in the post station on the shore.

The big ship entered the safe haven, and the original feeling of bumping and shaking was swept away. A while later, Wu Jie got fully dressed and went ashore.

Stepping on the solid ground under her feet, Wu Jie felt her whole body revived.

After entering the post station, the entire attic has been cleaned up quickly, and it is extremely clean. The guest room where Wu Jie stayed was particularly neat and elegant, and all the utensils and bedding were brand new.

Wu Jie nodded in satisfaction. You can't be too picky when you go out, just stay for one day and one night, at least the view from this room is not bad.

Because the post station is built on the riverside, through the open windows, the river is rolling away below, which is quite artistic.

Wu Jie took off her cloak and valance, and threw them beside the bed. It can be regarded as a sigh of relief. Turning around, Zifen was standing at the door with her head down.

"Zihui, stop staring blankly and take a rest. These days have been hard on you." Wu Jie said sincerely.

Maybe it's because there are no competent maids such as Chi Rui around. These days, Zifen is very active in the work of serving her closely, and she can't wait to do everything by herself.

Zi An then raised her head and smiled and said, "I'm not tired, I'll go and rush for the food first. The Princess is probably hungry too."

After speaking, he turned and left the room.

Wu Jie looked at the back of her going away, thoughtful, Zifen seemed to have something on her mind these past two days, could it be that she left her home, so she was uneasy. Or regret that should have chosen to keep Prince De's Mansion.

If this is the case, I should ask clearly and try my best to find a good place for her.

Wu Jie is full of gratitude to this loyal servant girl who even saved her own life. If she is really willing to turn around, she will not complain at all, only full of joy.
