Because Prince Chen was captured, the atmosphere in the official residence became tense. Everyone was on high alert, obeying the princess' orders, and standing guard at their respective posts with high intensity and seriousness.
Qin Ye ordered that the news be suppressed and not made public to avoid causing unnecessary panic.
Outside the official residence.
At the other end of the street.
Jun Luoyuan was sitting on the steps, with several bags of candies he had just bought placed between his knees.
She bit the small wooden stick and licked the candy. Through the open door of the official residence, she saw with her beautiful eyes the soldiers walking and running inside. They all looked anxious, as if something big had happened, as if the sky had fallen.
She narrowed her eyes.
Licking lips:
“How sweet.”
Shuangshuang whispered, "Princess, this candy is too sweet. Eat less and be careful of tooth decay."
"Shuangshuang, this candy is not sweet. What I mean is that I am happy in my heart."
Jun Luoyuan stood up, threw the bag of candies to Shuangshuang, put one in his mouth, and skipped away happily.
Both were confused.
Happy?
What are you happy about?
Did she feel happy because she ate a candy? Or was it because the second prince came and the princess was happy?
Post station.
As soon as Jun Luoyuan came back, she saw a man who looked like a deputy general reporting something to Jun Yilin. She was close and heard a few words.
"Second brother, what happened?"
She blinked her beautiful eyes and asked curiously.
Jun Yilin raised his hand, dismissed the deputy general, and said: "Prince Chen has been captured."
"Ah?" She was surprised. "He was captured? That's bad. We still have to cooperate with him. He's been captured. We can't just sit there and watch."
The expression was very surprised.
But her tone and reaction were calm.
It seems like all this...
All as expected.
Jun Yilin frowned: "It's just a small city, how can King Chen not conquer it? If he doesn't have this much strength, there is no need for us to cooperate with him."
If you can't even capture a small city, how can you fight against Emperor Li?
Jun Luoyuan defended King Chen:
"Maybe King Chen fell into the trap."
"Besides, Emperor Li has cooperated with the Western Regions and has more than doubled their military strength. Our troops are still on their way. King Chen is not a god, so isn't it normal for him to fail once or twice?"
At this time, the deputy general interrupted quietly:
"Second Prince, I heard from the official residence that someone seemed to have sold important military secrets to the enemy, which led to the capture of Prince Chen."
After hearing this, Jun Luoyuan's beautiful eyes turned slightly and the curve of the corners of his lips deepened.
The deputy general added: "Princess Chen has already gathered people and is ready to rescue them overnight."
Jun Luoyuan quickly interrupted:
"Second brother, let's go too!"
"We are partners after all. King Chen has been captured. We can't just sit there and wait for death!"
The important thing is that Qin Ye will also go.
By then, there will be too many people, chaos, and swords and knives will be indiscriminate. When the fight starts, without the protection of King Chen, it will be normal for Qin Ye to be "accidentally" injured, hit, or even die.
When Jun Yilin learned that King Chen was captured because he was betrayed, his expression improved slightly.
"Gather some people, let's go meet Princess Chen."
Jun Luoyuan nodded and walked out.
"Stop?" Jun Yilin raised his eyebrows and grabbed her collar. "I'm asking the deputy general to go. What are you doing out there?"
"Don't I want to go too?"
Jun Yilin's face turned black:
"That's a battlefield, full of swords and sabers, why are you going there to join in the fun?"
Jun Luoyuan's face turned serious and he hugged his arm, "I am worried about my second brother. If he gets hurt, I will cry to death."
"I'm worried. I must follow you and ensure your safety at all times. Otherwise, I won't be able to sleep tonight!"
Jun Yilin took her away and gave a strong order:
"Even if you can't sleep, you are not allowed to follow me."
He went to save people.
Not for fun.
Jun Luoyuan stamped his feet anxiously.
If she didn't go, how could she kill Qin Ye?
"Second brother, if you don't let me go, I will cry in front of you!"
