There were two maids outside, or perhaps a few servants.
Chu Jinjin glanced at the door without changing her expression, then suddenly punched Princess Le'an on the shoulder: "I treated you like a good sister, but at this crucial moment, you treat me like this."
The punch was neither too light nor too heavy; the force was just right.
Princess Le'an screamed in pain as she was being beaten: "Ah, Chu Jinjin, how dare you! Do you have a death wish? I am a princess of the Great Qi Kingdom, a woman of noble birth! I'm going to tell my brother the Emperor!"
Chu Jinjin blinked and pinched her arm: "It's no use telling anyone. Didn't you want to stay and monitor me? Then I'll beat you up once a day."
Princess Le'an shouted again and retaliated. Chu Jinjin did not dodge, but instead stretched her head out, and then her hair was pulled out and messed up.
Although she didn't know what had happened, her intuition told her she should trust Princess Le'an.
The two argued for a moment, then Chu Jinjin kicked the door open: "Call the doctor and bring some medicine for sprains and bruises."
Princess Le'an sobbed, "Chu Jinjin, I'm not done with you yet."
Chu Jinjin quickly glanced at who was there.
She hadn't managed the servants, but those who came to serve in the courtyard were all trustworthy.
Chu Jinjin kicked the door shut, gestured, and said in a low voice, "It's okay now, what's going on?"
She looked around to see who was there, and also to see if anyone knew kung fu.
"Are you sure no one can hear us?" Princess Le'an was still not at ease. She repeatedly checked before collapsing onto the soft couch, gesturing for Chu Jinjin to come over, and whispering in her ear.
After all, they were born of the same father, and she knew Xiao Huai too well. He wouldn't easily trust anyone, only himself.
She first feigned resistance, kneeling down to plead for Chu Jinjin, and even threatening to commit suicide.
Xiao Huai was indeed furious, and was just short of taking action.
But this is Princess Le'an's first step; only in this way can she react normally.
She gradually compromised, forced to face reality, and then began to worry. Chu Jinjin was no ordinary woman; she didn't even respect the Empress Dowager. If she went there openly, she definitely wouldn't be able to hide it. Besides, even if she knew the plan, would she kill her to silence her?
Xiao Huai finally gave her the truth.
“You don’t need to hide the fact that you ran away. Even if you didn’t have that intention, Xiao Huai wouldn’t believe it.” Princess Le’an’s voice was almost inaudible. “He told me that as long as I can find out, I don’t need to worry about anything else.”
An emperor's trump cards are not just what they appear to be.
Chu Jinjin wasn't that worried.
That's normal.
The Chu family has hundreds of servants; compared to her, the head of the family, it would be far too easy to bribe them.
"If I leave, Xiao Huai will definitely have other people and other methods," Princess Le'an said softly, enunciating each word clearly. "Jinjin, when you leave, can you take me with you?"
Chu Jinjin looked at her carefully and said honestly, "Okay, but I can't completely trust you right now."
The human heart is the most vulnerable to scrutiny.
Xiao Huai wanted to make her empress, but in the blink of an eye, he handed her over to the Northern Desert people without hesitation. Xu Wenda was also very affectionate, but divorced her the day after their marriage.
Princess Le'an nodded: "Starting today, I'll do whatever you tell me to do. Or how about this, you beat me up every day? Let's make it clear first, you can't hit my face."
Chu Jinjin wasn't in the mood for jokes right now.
Chun'er didn't know where she was taken.
With spies outside and traitors inside, and not only that, but he also planted Princess Le'an. What will Xiao Huai do next?
I feel like I'm at my wit's end.
Princess Le'an made a startling remark, coldly saying, "Actually, there's a way. Why don't you kill Xiao Huai? With your skills, it shouldn't be difficult."
Even if the world returns to peace after this incident, people's dignity will never be restored.
Chu Jinjin shook her head with a wry smile.
Killing someone is easy, but what happens afterward?
What about the Northern Desert?
Around midnight, Zhan Qin returned, bringing good news.
Xiao Huai didn't talk to Yuan Tianyou, probably because he was worried about something, but Yuan Tianyou was certain that Xiao Huai was the one who did it, and he would find out as soon as possible where Chun'er was placed.
“I can’t go there again. If it happens twice in a row, Xiao Huai will inevitably become suspicious.” Zhan Qin sighed and then said, “The people who went to Black Eagle Mountain should have arrived by now. If nothing unexpected happens, Jiedu will arrive in the capital within three days.”
In the current situation, salvation is the only hope.
Chu Jinjin, however, never placed her hopes on anyone.
The next morning, she took Princess Le'an and swaggered to the inn where Mu Wei was staying.
Mu Wei was both surprised and delighted: "Jinjin—who is this?"
"I am Princess Le'an." Princess Le'an looked her up and down without restraint and exclaimed, "Before I saw you, I thought you were at least not good-looking, if not horribly ugly. I never expected you to be so handsome."
Putting aside what Mu Wei did, from his facial features to his physique, especially the unique temperament of the men from the Northern Desert, he was definitely a handsome man.
Mu Wei, clearly unaware of this insignificant princess, politely replied, "Princess Le'an, you flatter me."
“I am telling the truth.” Princess Le’an’s words were shocking. “What do you think of me? It’s fine if you are interested in Jinjin. I can be your concubine. Of course, if I take a fancy to another man in the future, you can’t stop me.”
Mu Wei: "......."
Chu Jinjin originally came here with other intentions, but seeing this suddenly gave her an idea. She blinked and asked, "Princess Le'an, you really like her?"
Princess Le'an nodded vigorously: "Of course, all my male favorites combined are not even one millionth of Prince Mu's."
Normally she wouldn't dare to be so bold. The fate of the Great Qi Kingdom is now entirely in Mu Wei's hands. She would stay as far away as possible. But it doesn't matter now. She might as well enjoy herself while she can. Who knows how long she'll live?
Chu Jinjin leaned closer and whispered a few words in her ear.
Princess Le'an's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets in shock: "This...is this going to work?"
Chu Jinjin shrugged: "What's wrong with that? With me here, what are you afraid of?"
Mu Wei seemed to understand something but not quite, and subconsciously took a step back: "Jin Jin, Princess Le'an, please come in."
"Please, please." Chu Jinjin strode ahead. She was the only commoner among the three, so she opened the door for the other two. When they reached the guest room, she made a move without warning, grabbing Mu Wei by the throat. Princess Le'an, who was prepared, quickly cooperated, pulling off the waist belt from her waist. Hers was specially made for playing some special little games. It looked no different from ordinary ones, but it actually had a hidden secret.
Mu struggled desperately, but it was too late.
At such close range, and with Chu Jinjin attacking with all her might, it's estimated that no one in the world could dodge it.
“Struggling is useless. None of those people outside are a match for me. Even half-zombies are no match. I’ll kill as many as come. Prince Mu, just accept your fate.” Chu Jinjin was about to take action herself when she looked down and saw that Princess Le’an had already finished.
The binding looked particularly meticulous, extending upwards along the chest, clearly defining the lines of the pectoral muscles.
