Chapter 363 Joining forces

"Aren't you jealous?" Murong Xi looked at the woman's slightly pale face and smiled faintly in her heart. She was indeed jealous.

"I'm jealous and envious." Su Qiluo said truthfully. That was the man she loved with all her heart, but he made an exception for another woman.

How could she not feel any waves in her heart?

If there really was no Bo Lan, it would mean that she didn't love Rong Yan that much.

Murong Xi looked at the woman's cold face and her hand that was tightly holding the handkerchief, with a noble smile on her lips, "Have you thought about what to do?"

Su Qiluo raised her delicate chin slightly, her face showing determination and resoluteness, "Your Highness the Crown Prince can only be mine."

Murong Xi smiled with satisfaction, "Looking at the capital of Chu, you are the only one among all the noble ladies who are worthy of being the Crown Princess. Of course, Jiang Nanjiao must be eliminated in advance."

"Excuse me for asking, why does the Fifth Princess dislike Princess Jin?" Su Qiluo asked curiously.

"When a woman hates another woman, it's all because of a man. This princess likes Prince Jin." Murong Xi said frankly and bluntly.

Su Qiluo was surprised. She didn't expect the Fifth Princess to be so frank and open. "I know."

"Jiang Nanjiao came to Chu this time to get the Bodhi root. The Bodhi root is a treasure of the Chu royal family, but the prince took it as a prize."

"If this gets out, the ministers will definitely impeach the prince, and the people will think that the prince is incompetent and has lost his mind for a woman. Will the people still support him?"

There was a mocking sneer on Murong Xi's lips. Although she didn't want the prince to be ridiculed by the crowd, she didn't want Jiang Nanjiao to get what he wanted.

"Your Highness will take Princess Jin to see the Bodhi tree tomorrow." Su Qiluo said slowly.

"Are you going too?"

"His Highness said I am not qualified to go."

Murong Xi comforted her, "Don't worry, I will go there tomorrow. As for whether or not to let Jiang Nanjiao hang around in front of the prince, it's up to you."

After saying this, she walked away.

Of course she wouldn't do it herself, lest she dirty her hands.

"Miss, do you really want to join forces with the Fifth Princess to deal with Princess Jin?" Chun Tao walked up to her master only after she saw Murong Xi leave the yard.

"Let's go." Su Qiluo walked out quickly.

"I would like to say something. Princess Jin is quite honest. She does not want to compete with you for the Crown Prince. I don't want you to take the risk." Chuntao said worriedly.

The fifth princess is clearly taking advantage of the young lady.

Su Qiluo looked at her with a smile, "Don't worry too much, little girl."

Chun Tao said anxiously: "I am worried about you."

"Okay, it's getting late, let's go back quickly." After Su Qiluo said this, she quickened her pace and walked out of the yard.

Chuntao bit her lip and followed quickly.

…

The next day.

When Nan Jiao woke up, she felt a little dizzy. She drank another bottle of wine after returning home last night, and then she kept having dreams after falling asleep.

The dream was filled with the ferocious and angry Zhan Beiheng. He questioned her why she left him alone and came to Chu State, and whether it was to meet Murong Yan in secret.

She said he was being unreasonable, and the two of them started arguing and eventually fighting.

Nan Jiao pressed her temples, threw back the quilt and got out of bed.

After she had breakfast, Chiffon came.

Nan Jiao walked out of the yard and went straight to the carriage. When she opened the curtain, she saw Murong Yan sitting upright inside. He had a cold, pale face, a clear, handsome appearance, and a cool and noble temperament.

Murong Yan looked at her.

The woman was wearing a sakura yellow long skirt with a belt of the same color around her waist. Her pretty face was lightly made up, her skin was so white that it seemed as if it could be blown away, and her dark eyes were bright and clear.

When she saw him, her expression froze slightly, and a cold light gradually appeared in her eyes.

"We are going to the palace now. You can only ride in the same carriage with me." Murong Yan's voice was gentle and magnetic.

"Okay." Nan Jiao got on the carriage.

She found a place to sit down some distance away from him.

Murong Yan sat there without moving.

The carriage started quickly.

"I have imagined what you look like countless times, but after knowing your appearance, it is different from what I imagined." Murong Yan said lightly.

That month.

She was either wearing a mask or in disguise, and had a very strange face, so he kept imagining what she looked like.

Until it spread throughout the mainland.

It is said that the Princess of Qin Jin is the leader of Shura Sect.

His people sent him a portrait, which was completely different from what he had imagined, especially her smile, which seemed to be able to touch people's hearts and was very healing.

During that time, he stared at her portrait every day.

"Do you know why I don't show my true face in front of you? It's because I don't want to have anything to do with you." Nan Jiao looked at him and spoke clearly and forcefully.

Murong Yan pursed his lips and said in silence for a moment, "I don't want to be a stranger to you."

"We are destined to be in opposition. Don't forget that I am the Princess of Jin and I will always be." Nan Jiao said in a sonorous and powerful voice.

"What if the Qin Dynasty is destroyed?" Murong Yan said lightly.

Nan Jiao smiled instead of getting angry, "I am Zhan Beiheng's wife and the mother of his child."

Murong Yan was filled with indescribable jealousy. "What if he's dead?"

Nan Jiao said firmly: "I am still his wife and will remain a widow for him for the rest of my life."

"So affectionate." Murong Yan pursed his thin lips and pinched the jade ring on his thumb with his fingers. He had never envied anyone before.

But now he is madly jealous of Zhan Beiheng.

He got the person he had always wanted.

"Because I love him." Nan Jiao thought of the man's cold, hard and handsome face, and felt indescribable joy in her heart. What was he doing at this moment?

This time they were apart, she missed him especially.

This is different from the last time when the two separated in Nanyang.

Perhaps they had agreed to act separately that time, but this time she made the decision on her own and even used drugs to put him into a coma.

She could already imagine his rage.

Murong Yan looked at the woman's bright and beautiful face, then closed his eyes. Does she love Zhan Beiheng so much?

When Nan Jiao saw that he was unwilling to speak, she curled the corners of her mouth.

The carriage soon arrived at the gate of the Chu Palace.

Chifeng put down the reins in his hand and said, "Your Highness, we're here."

After saying this, he went down quickly.

Nan Jiao opened the carriage curtain and got off swiftly, looking around at the Chu imperial palace, which was comparable to the Qin imperial palace, solemn and dignified everywhere.

Murong Yan walked up to her and said, "Let's go."

Nan Jiao looked at the man's back and followed him. He brought her into the palace openly. She was the Princess of Jin of Qin.

Isn't he afraid of being impeached by the royal family and ministers in the court?

Entered the palace.

Nan Jiao looked around as she walked. The palace maids and eunuchs she met along the way all bowed respectfully to Murong Yan and did not dare to look at her at all.

I don't know how long I walked, but no one else stopped me.

Finally they arrived at the entrance to the back mountain of the palace and could see a temple located in the middle of the mountain in the distance.

Is the Bodhi tree in the temple?

"The road in the mountains is a bit difficult to walk on." Murong Yan reminded her, and then walked up the mountain.
