Mo Qingrui broke out in a cold sweat.
Sitting in the chair, breathing unevenly.
Although Jiang Zhao did not know the specifics, he was not stupid.
I have a vague idea of what's going on.
He raised his hand and gently placed it on Mo Qingrui's shoulder, applying slight pressure.
"Madam, this matter requires careful consideration."
Mo Qingrui was extremely flustered at this moment.
She looked up at Jiang Zhao.
His voice was trembling slightly.
"I really don't know."
Jiang Zhao echoed this.
I believe you.
Regardless of past grievances, colluding with Dayu is tantamount to treason.
Moreover, Mo Qingrui is a member of the royal family and a princess of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
No one would think about how much inside information she actually knew.
Mo Qingrui gripped Jiang Zhao's sleeve tightly, her knuckles turning white.
"Then... should I...?"
"don't want!"
Jiang Zhao interrupted her urgently.
"Madam, given the Princess's personality, if she really manages to investigate this far, do you think she wouldn't be able to find any clues about that person? Would she be unable to contact that person?"
Mo Qingrui was stunned.
Suddenly it dawned on me.
"You mean, she was just guessing too?"
Jiang Zhao squatted down and looked at her calmly.
"In my heart, my wife is the most important. Everyone else is secondary. My wife, please remember that the past is the past. Although you are a princess, you may not be able to do much. If one day the enemy comes to the city and the Great Zhou is defeated, it would be good if someone would spare us out of consideration for our past relationship. If not, it would not be bad if your husband would die for our country with you."
“As a princess of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the only legitimate daughter of the current Third Prince, you cannot allow your descendants to speak ill of your parents-in-law. You cannot allow their graves to be filled with insults and spittle. We have failed them.”
Mo Qingrui's tears fell freely.
Suddenly, she bit her lip and wiped it clean with all her might.
“The Great Zhou will not be defeated. If Uncle Jiu were this age back then, he would never have allowed my Great Zhou princess to enter this land of tigers and wolves alone, using the blood of women to maintain peace. Moreover, Aunt Jiu has connections to the heavens, and I don’t believe that the Great Yu Kingdom has much ability. If it really comes to the point of fighting and we want to negotiate peace, I will personally send Mo Yunke out.”
"She is supported by the people of Great Zhou, so it is only right that she should give her life for them, isn't it?"
Jiang Zhao looked at her stubborn yet proud expression and nodded with a light laugh.
"What you say is absolutely right, madam."
...
Inside the main hall of the Ninth Prince's Mansion,
Lian'er had already helped Jiang Qingwan remove her heavy palace robes and headdress.
Her long, black hair was casually draped over her shoulders.
She was only wearing a white undershirt.
Her cool, clear eyes gazed at her reflection in the mirror.
A hint of confusion lingered in his eyes.
Lian'er was about to ask which clothes to wear when she looked up and saw Mo Yunhan stepping in.
He hurriedly bowed in greeting.
"Your Highness."
Mo Yunhan waved his hand.
"Go down."
Lian'er quickly got up and left.
Mo Yunhan walked to the dressing table and stood behind Jiang Qingwan.
He leaned slightly forward, placed his long arms on the table, and pulled the person into his arms.
He gently stroked the top of her head with his chin.
"Still angry? How come I never noticed before that you had such a temper?"
The blank look in the mirror slowly returned to its original expression.
Her eyes flickered as she looked at the man in the mirror.
After scrutinizing her for a long time, she slowly curved her lips into a gentle, obedient smile.
"I'm not angry."
Mo Yunhan raised his hand and gently rubbed the tip of her nose.
"When I rode with her, I was still a minor and had not yet come of age. But your jealousy was quite adorable. Come, today, we will do nothing but ride with me."
Jiang Qingwan was helped up and dressed in warm, fitted clothing.
The collar, cuffs, and wrists were all covered in fluffy rabbit fur.
It made the person look even more charming and lively.
When Mo Yunhan took her hand and led her out the door,
Qinghui immediately came to greet her.
It's obvious they want to follow along.
Mo Yunhan glanced at her with considerable disdain.
"You think my martial arts are inferior to yours?"
Qing Sui choked, and Lian'er quickly pulled her aside.
The two watched as Mo Yunhan and Jiang Qingwan left.
Lian'er then said, "Miss Qinghui, the prince wants to get closer to my young lady, what's the point of you going along?"
Qinghui crossed her arms and silently rolled her eyes.
"The chaos in the capital has just subsided, but there are still many hidden dangers. Your Highness is really being reckless, not knowing how to be careful and vigilant at all."
Lian'er covered her mouth and chuckled.
Suddenly remembering something, she mysteriously tugged at Qinghui's arm.
"Do you often get scars from practicing martial arts and wielding swords and spears? Do you know where I can buy scar removal cream?"
Qinghui glanced at her.
"I don't use that stuff. What's the big deal if I get a scar?"
Lian'er said anxiously, "How can that be?"
Qinghui asked suspiciously, "Who are you going to buy this for? Li Dou? What use would a grown man like him have for something like this?"
Lian'er didn't know how to explain, so she could only blame it on herself.
“It’s not for him to use, it’s for me. My previous employer had a bad temper and often beat and scolded me. I… I want to remove the scars.”
Qing Sui frowned.
She had always thought that Lian'er was Jiang Qingwan's maid.
I never expected to encounter this.
"Do you still remember where your employer is? I'm just itching to cook for you."
Lian'er quickly shook her head.
"Those people aren't in the capital, so you should help me think of something to get rid of the scars."
Qinghui clenched her knuckles, clearly feeling a little bored because there was no fight to fight.
"I know about wound medicine, but as for scar removal medicine... you can ask Su Liuer at Huailou. That woman is very vain. Moreover, Huailou has countless rare treasures, so she's sure to have something that can help you. But you need to prepare enough money, that woman is quite stingy."
