Chapter 162: A heartless person deserves to swallow ten thousand needles

A few people looked in the direction of the sound and saw a figure in silver-white armor coming against the cold wind.

Only when the man came closer did Song Yanxi recognize his identity.

It was Qiu Zongping who Mo Jinchuan mentioned would come later.

It's not even half a quarter of an hour yet, he's really impatient.

"Who are you?" Zhuang Shihan did not recognize him. She just felt that the general in front of her had a good appearance, with sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, and wheat-colored skin. At first glance, he looked like a tough guy.

But the armor on him looks somewhat familiar. Where have I seen it before?

Qiu Zongping perfunctorily bowed in the direction where she was standing and said, "General Lin, Princess Shihan."

After hearing his voice clearly, Zhuang Shihan blurted out, "You are the young general at the city gate in the evening!"

In addition to being obsessed with looks, she is also obsessed with voices. She has no resistance to this kind of voice that has just passed the voice change period and has a bit of magnetism.

Especially since he is a younger brother, even wearing armor you can still tell he is a typical young man, with typical broad shoulders and narrow waist, a perfect inverted triangle figure.

If this happened in modern times, he would definitely be a dark-skinned athlete!

Noticing that Zhuang Shihan's eyes were shining, Lin Tingfeng frowned and coughed lightly to remind her.

Although she had told him long ago that she liked to appreciate beautiful things, including handsome men and beautiful women, he still found it difficult to accept it.

Qiu Zongping took a half step back with a cold expression and looked at An Yi, "Please inform Brother An that I would like to see the prince."

Zhuang Shihan blurted out, "You can't get in."

Perhaps realizing she had lost her composure, she coughed lightly and spoke as gently as possible, "The prince said he won't see anyone today, unless you really want to die and force your way in."

Qiu Zongping frowned when he heard this.

Zhuang Shihan looked at An Yi, raised an eyebrow and asked, "Commander An, was there anything wrong with what I just said?"

Since he had already said all that, An Yi could only nod with a dark face.

A hint of pride flashed in Zhuang Shihan's eyes. Just as she was about to speak, she saw Qiu Zongping turn around and leave without even giving her a spare glance.

Her face turned cold and she said disdainfully, "How rude! You don't even know how to say thank you."

As she spoke, she thought of something and looked at Song Yanxi with a smile in her eyes, "It's getting late, and Princess Yong'an doesn't know the way to the General's Mansion, so just come with us. We can just take you to where the military doctor lives."

Song Yanxi declined politely, "No need to bother."

"It's not a trouble, it's just something we do on the way." Zhuang Shihan said, and was about to reach out to pull her.

Song Yanxi took a half step back to avoid him, her eyes icy as she said, "The prince likes quietness. Since I said I won't see you, then I won't see you. It's useless for you two to stay here."

"Are we staying here?"

Zhuang Shihan sneered and said sharply, "Since the prince won't see guests, then why are you so shameless as to stay here? A man and a woman alone in the same room, aren't you afraid of people gossiping about you?"

"Shihan!"

"Why are you yelling at me? She dared to do something shameless, so I can't say anything?"

Shaking off Lin Tingfeng's hand, Zhuang Shihan said as she pushed forward, "I'd like to ask Your Majesty whether you and my wife need to avoid suspicion."

"Swish!" An Yi drew his sword again, and this time he put it directly against Zhuang Shihan's neck.

If she had taken a little bigger step, she would have immediately seen blood, and it is possible that her throat was slit.

Zhuang Shihan's face suddenly turned pale, and her voice trembled as she said, "I am a princess personally appointed by the emperor. How dare you treat me like this?"

"Your Majesty has ordered that from the day the army arrives at the border town, seeing the prince is like seeing Your Majesty in person."

Disobeying Mo Jinchuan's orders is like disobeying the emperor's will.

As long as Zhuang Shihan takes one more step forward, he will kill her on the spot and the emperor will not blame her at all.

Because she was asking for death.

Feeling the murderous intent emanating from him, Zhuang Shihan took two steps back with a pale face. A cold sweat broke out on her back. She grabbed Lin Tingfeng's hand that was supporting her and whispered, "Brother Feng, let's go."

Lin Tingfeng responded solemnly, looked at Song Yanxi meaningfully, picked up Zhuang Shihan and was about to leave.

An Yi said coldly, "You two have behaved improperly, so you think others are the same. How ridiculous."

Understanding what he wanted to say, Song Yanxi quickly shook her head.

An Yi, however, acted as if he hadn't noticed, and continued to speak to himself, "His Majesty has appointed Princess Yong'an to treat the leg ailment of His Royal Highness Prince Jin. This is confirmed by the imperial decree. Anyone who dares to make unwarranted speculations and fabricate stories, and insult the reputation of the prince and princess, will be dealt with according to military regulations!"

"Since you have this thing, why didn't Your Highness take it out earlier?" Song Yanxi spoke only after carefully putting the imperial edict in his hand back into the box.

If you look closely, it's not difficult to see the resentment in her eyes.

If you take it out as soon as you set out, you will save a lot of trouble along the way.

Mo Jinchuan raised the corner of his lips slightly, and instead of answering, he asked, "Have you ever heard of the gossip in the army?"

Song Yanxi said truthfully: "I've heard a few things, but they're all nonsense."

After she finished speaking, she added silently, "It was Chang Jiu who told me. Although the child is a little timid, he is very smart. Those veterans who had a good relationship with Chang Lao took good care of him."

If he hadn't come to tell her, she would never have imagined that those soldiers would get together and gossip in private.

Some said that His Royal Highness Prince Jin treated her differently from ordinary women and must be in love with her. They said that since Lin Tingfeng had no interest in her, it would be better for her to divorce and go to Prince Jin's mansion to become a concubine.

There are even more outrageous ones, saying that she and His Royal Highness Prince Jin had been in love with each other before they got married, but Prince Jin broke his leg, so Lin Tingfeng stole her away.

There was just one thing that Song Yanxi felt they were right about.

A man like Lin Tingfeng, who is so heartless and fickle, is absolutely not worthy of her.

A heartless person deserves to swallow ten thousand needles.

"If you like it, keep it with you."

Song Yanxi was stunned for a moment, then realized that Mo Jinchuan was talking about Chang Jiu, and subconsciously wanted to refuse.

Seeing through her thoughts, Mo Jinchuan said gently, "Don't worry, go back later and think about it, and give me an answer within three days."

"good."

Thinking of something, Song Yanxi suddenly asked, "Did the prince do that on purpose?"

Mo Jinchuan asked calmly, "What's the matter?"

Seeing that he was clearly intending to pretend to be ignorant, Song Yanxi did not expose him, but just stood up and bowed to him.

She said, "Thank you for your help, Your Highness. However, this matter is a grudge between the three of us, so I hope Your Highness will just stand by and watch."

The candlelight flickered, and she heard Mo Jinchuan say, "What if the king doesn't want to?"
