It's just that only others felt relieved, but Ji Feng didn't.
This Princess Anbang rested for two days, and probably because she had rested enough, she started to act up.
When Ji Feng was brought in, he thought there was no one in the room, but he heard Princess Anbang calling him from the inner room.
The voice was so soft that it gave Ji Feng goose bumps all over his body.
"Eunuch...what does the princess want me to do?" Ji Feng was so speechless that he couldn't speak clearly.
"Come in..." Ruan Ningxiang's voice sounded like she had drunk a large jar of honey.
After all, she is a princess. Even if she is stranded in the military camp, she is still a princess. Ji Feng is just a servant and has to obey her orders.
As soon as he entered, he almost vomited blood.
What a vivid scene! Ji Feng had never seen such an amazing sight in his life.
Ruan Ningxiang got up from the bed in a gauze dress and slowly approached him, "This time I was saved, thanks to you, so I decided to repay you well..."
Her hand almost touched Ji Feng's shoulder, but luckily Ji Feng was agile and quickly stepped back a few steps and ran away. "I dare not, I am overstepping my authority, I will take my leave!"
Only Ruan Ningxiang's jade hand was left suspended in the air, unable to calm down for a long time.
Her family was a royal family, she was a spoiled daughter of the Ruan family, and later was named Princess Anbang, but she was humiliated in the Northland, and now even a mere secret guard dared to disobey her orders, which was simply a great shame! If she hadn't survived the most difficult time, she would definitely be given a white silk by now.
Ruan Ningxiang couldn't sleep that night.
Ji Feng was also sleepless. He had never heard of or seen such a scene before, but after seeing it, something different began to happen in his heart.
As dawn approached, he fell into a deep sleep. In his dream, he saw a pair of eyes sparkling with stars and a crisp voice of "Brother".
Thinking about returning home to report early, Ji Feng woke up not long after sleeping. However, when he recalled what happened in his dream, he always felt that he had overstepped his authority.
The former Shan Tao is no longer a mute girl, and has been conferred the title of county lady. Besides, she is only fourteen and he is twenty-six, old enough to be called uncle. He dare not have any wild thoughts.
He could only take Princess Anbang back quickly so that the emperor and empress would not send Shan Tao to the north.
When Ruan Ningxiang was sitting in the carriage on her way to the capital, the news of her kidnapping had already spread to the Beidi Palace.
Since the envoys from Beidi went to Wu State, they have not sent any news back. In addition, Wu State sent people to kidnap Ruan Ningxiang. Bei Yanming knew that the feud between Beidi and Wu State was formed and they could no longer have friendly diplomatic relations.
He summoned Qu Lang into the palace.
"I order you to send your eldest son Qu Feng to disguise himself and go to the Wu Kingdom to find the Black Mountain Gate and ask them to send someone to kill Su Bei!" When Bei Yanming said this, his face was as cold as ice.
If Su Bei died, her curse would be broken, and the Wu Kingdom protected by the curse would also be attacked. At that time, Bei Yanming would easily take over the Wu Kingdom and unify the world.
This was a lucrative job, and Qu Lang gladly accepted it.
When he got home, he called his eldest son Qu Feng and said, "Here is 500,000 taels of gold notes. Take them to Wu Country and find the Black Mountain Gate. Ask them to send someone to assassinate the Queen of Wu Country!"
It was originally worth one million taels of gold notes, but after Qu Lang handled it, it became five hundred thousand taels.
Qu Feng also knew that this was a lucrative job and readily accepted it.
He had been to Wu several times, all in border towns. He knew that there was a lot of interesting food and entertainment to do in Wu. He also heard that Wu was a large country with different customs and specialties in different places, and there were even more things to do.
So he went there on this trip, under the pretext of a business trip, intending to have a good time.
Who can say how long it will take to find the Black Mountain Gate? Anyway, whatever he says will take.
Capital city.
Princess Anbang returned to the court in a low-key manner.
As the queen, Su Bei naturally had to summon her to show her comfort.
"I heard that you suffered a lot in the north. Do you have any unfulfilled wishes when you came back this time?" Su Bei's voice was quite gentle. After all, the two of them didn't have any deep hatred.
Su Bei didn't say it explicitly, which gave her enough face, but Ruan Ningxiang was unhappy. She had been bullied, but in Su Bei's words, it was just "suffering some pain"? "Your Majesty, it's so light. I'm afraid you have never experienced what I have suffered in this life!" Ruan Ningxiang said in a bad tone.
Su Bei was speechless. This guy must be a bit stupid. Did he mean to not save her face and expose her directly? "Then I won't have the chance to learn from you. Do you want to share with me the toughness of the northern soldiers?" Su Bei's voice also turned cold.
Ruan Ningxiang was suddenly embarrassed and remained silent for a long time before she said, "I do have an unfulfilled wish. I want to save the secret guard who brought me back."
"According to etiquette, you don't need secret guards with your status." Su Bei didn't understand and explained the rules to her in a cold voice.
Ruan Ningxiang secretly clenched her fists again, always feeling that Su Bei was against her, so she gritted her teeth and said, "He saw my body when he saved me, I want to recruit him as my consort!"
Su Bei suddenly realized that Ruan Ningxiang might have difficulty getting married, and this was probably a way for herself to find a way out.
She definitely couldn't agree to this, otherwise she would be letting Xiao Shantao down, but she couldn't refuse for the time being.
"I will think about this matter again and discuss it with the emperor." Su Bei gave her an official response.
However, Ruan Ningxiang thought that Su Bei really wanted to discuss it with Chu Younan, so she went downstairs.
After she left, Su Bei called Ji Feng out, "Did you hear that? Princess Anbang plans to recruit you as her consort. Now your status will match that of your future brother-in-law."
The corner of Ji Feng's mouth twitched, "My Lady, I'm just a secret guard..."
"That doesn't have to be the case. You've made a great contribution this time, so I think the Emperor will reward you. But since you're going to be a consort, I'm sure I can't give you any real power..."
Before Su Bei finished speaking, Ji Feng knelt down, "Your Majesty! I don't want to be a consort! I am here just to persuade the Princess of Shanyin County not to marry the Northern Land! I don't want any reward, I am willing to protect Your Majesty for my whole life!"
Seeing how scared he was, Su Bei almost laughed out loud, "What if you are just a secret guard? How can you drink with your brother-in-law at the same table in the future? You're a head shorter than him!"
"It's okay, it's okay, as long as the Princess of Shanyin County doesn't go to the north to marry. She is now the Princess of Shanyin County, and it is obviously inappropriate for me to call her brother or sister. From now on, I will have nothing to do with her..."
Su Bei was really going to be pissed off by him, "You blockhead, don't you think Shan Tao has some other feelings for you?"
Ji Feng was stunned for a moment. After a moment, he shook his head and said, "No, no, no, she is now the county lord, high above me. I dare not dream of marrying her..."
"You!" Su Bei glared at him. "Since you don't dare to dream, then listen to my arrangements. You don't have to worry about whether Shan Tao stays or not. Just go to Princess Anbang's mansion!"
