Chapter 319 Aning is not an outsider
When it came to business, Furong restrained her smile.
"Since your last letter, I have been doing as you wish..."
Having said that, Furong glanced at Xiao Ning, seeming to want to say something but stopping herself.
Shang Xi knew what Furong was worried about and said, "Aning is not an outsider, so you can speak frankly."
Furong thought that since Shang Xi had allowed her to pass on the secret of her life experience to the Second Prince, then the secret of her life experience would no longer pose a threat to his future succession to the throne...
She looked at Xiao Ning, then at the soldiers who were training not far away.
Perhaps, His Highness and the Prince Consort have already confessed, and after knowing the truth, the Prince Consort is still willing to join forces with His Highness.
Thinking of this, Furong felt much more at ease when she spoke again.
"Your Highness, why do you want to reveal your background? Even if you ascend the throne in the future, I'm afraid you will be criticized by those pretentious scholars..."
Shang Xi: “…”
He glanced at Xiao Ning and said to Furong, "Let's talk business."
Furong: “???”
Isn’t this business?
So what is the real business?
As they were talking, the three of them arrived at the central military camp.
The patrolling soldiers' eyes widened when they saw Furong. Realizing that this was inappropriate, they hurriedly turned their eyes away and bowed to her from a distance.
Seeing this, Furong knelt down and returned their greeting.
That demeanor and those movements fascinated the group of soldiers.
They left with red faces and angry necks.
Furong looked at the backs of the people and couldn't help but chuckle, "Prince Consort, the soldiers under your command are quite polite."
Xiao Ning: “…”
Is this polite?
It's obvious that he was staring at the beauty with his eyes wide open, yet feeling shy and embarrassed.
Stupid...
Xiao Ning simply couldn't bear to watch it.
"Let's go inside and talk."
After entering the tent, Xiao Ning asked Furong to sit with him, but she refused and insisted on answering while standing.
"After the Second Prince heard that Shen Zhiyi was the real prince, he began to secretly try to trip him up. Shen Zhiyi was in danger twice, but was rescued by the guards both times. After that, the Shen family seemed to suspect the Second Prince."
"But the Second Prince is still alive today, so he is no pushover. Moreover, he now holds all the power and many people are on his side."
"During this period, the fighting between the two sides has become increasingly fierce, and it seems to be a life-and-death struggle."
That would be a life-and-death struggle.
After all, it's the throne they're fighting for.
She will soon join the battle. I wonder if the two real princes will be surprised and shocked when they see her.
Shang Xi asked Furong: "Is the emperor still alive?"
Furong shook her head. "I don't know. The Second Prince's men are guarding the place, so our people can't get through."
Shang Xi thought for a moment and looked at Xiao Ning, "Aning, what do you think?"
"Are we going to prepare for a direct attack, or wait for the right moment?"
Xiao Ning said: "I have to arrange for someone to transfer Yuzhu and others out of the Marquis' Mansion first, otherwise it will be difficult to deal with them if the other side steals our house."
Hearing this, Furong smiled and said, "Don't worry, Prince Consort. After His Highness left, I sent a letter to Miss Yuzhu. They are no longer in the Marquis' Mansion. Even my servants haven't found their whereabouts."
“People who want to come to others won’t be able to find their hiding places easily.”
Xiao Ning was a little surprised. He didn't expect Furong to think so carefully.
As for the hiding place of Yuzhu and others...
She probably knew where it was.
Xiao Ning stood up, clasped his fists towards Furong and said, "Thank you, Aunt Furong, for your concern for me."
Furong quickly dodged.
"My Lord, you are so annoying me."
After saying that, he raised his eyes and was stunned.
She looked at the area on Xiao Ning's chest and her eyes widened.
Xiao Ning smiled when he saw her looking at him like that.
"Want to touch it?"
As soon as she finished speaking, before Furong could say anything, Shang Xi glared at her.
"What are you touching? Try teasing my maid again!"
Xiao Ning: “…”
It's as if no one dares to try it.
But she is generous and doesn't bother with jealous people.
Xiao Ning explained to the still dazed Furong, "Aunt Furong, please don't misunderstand me. As you can see, I am a woman."
Furong swallowed hard.
She looked to her Highness for an answer.
Shang Xi nodded slightly at her. Furong's eyes widened even more, but she quickly digested this fact.
After all, if the master can dress up as a woman, why can't the prince consort dress up as a man?
only……
She looked at Xiao Ning, then at Shang Xi, feeling a bit speechless.
Such a miraculous thing that is almost impossible happened just like that...
Still together.
As for fate, no wonder Master Jikong said that Your Highness and the Prince Consort were destined to be together.
"Is the General here?"
At this time, Li Yuan's voice sounded outside the tent.
Before the guards could reply, Xiao Ning said, "Come in."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Yuan lifted the curtain and came in.
"General, Your Highness..."
Li Yuan saluted and was stunned when he saw Furong.
"General, this girl is..."
Xiao Ning said: "This girl is His Highness's personal maid, Aunt Furong."
Li Yuan clasped his fists towards Furong and said, "Hello, Miss Furong."
Furong knelt in return, "May the general be well."
Li Yuan looked at Xiao Ning and said, "We've found the place you mentioned, and the grave has been dug. General, are you ready to go and see the princess off for the last time?"
Xiao Ning stood up after hearing this and said, "Of course I have to go."
"What princess?"
Furong glanced at Shang Xi.
Shang Xi said, "It's Princess Huaxun. Didn't I tell you in my letter before that Aning led the troops to attack the Xiongnu?"
Furong nodded, and then quickly understood the difficulty...
That's what men usually do.
When they are powerful, women are the pearls that embellish their achievements.
When they are defeated, they will push women out, hoping to use their weak shoulders to stop the war and quell the rebellion and shoulder the responsibility of the country.
But how can a weak willow-like body stop the cavalry of war? How can I shoulder the responsibility of the country?
But it's just a waste of life...
She was silent for a moment. As a woman, she just felt sad.
Shang Xi said, "Hua Xun was very brave. She didn't want to embarrass the soldiers, so she committed suicide on the battlefield, offering her blood to the military flag to boost morale..."
"After the war, Aning collected her body and carried the coffin back to Beijing."
"Her last words were to be buried outside Shengjing City."
"She grew up in Shengjing, and the only time she traveled far was to marry the Xiongnu. Fortunately, she is back now, back to her homeland, back to her hometown."
Furong's throat felt sore and she was deeply shocked.
She had never expected that Princess Huaxun, who always followed the other princes and princesses and had no opinions of her own, would choose such a decisive way to die...
Furong followed Xiao Ning and the others to a beautiful hilltop.
The tomb chamber has been dug. It's very simple. Not only does it look like the tomb of a royal noble, it's even inferior to the tomb of an ordinary lady...
A thin coffin was placed next to the cemetery, emitting a faint stench of corpse.
Furong, who was not used to the smell, almost retched and quickly covered her mouth and nose to restrain herself.
But I just feel sad in my heart.
The true heroines were buried in thin coffins, while those termites were buried with their children, with countless rare burial objects, and the tombs were comparable to palaces...
