Chapter 240 What did she call him? Lao Liu! ?
Xiangying was sleeping soundly in Jie Chen's arms. Outside, the sound of the Sixth Prince banging on the door lasted for half an hour.
Xiangying and Jiechen were really tired these past few days. No matter how hard the Sixth Prince shouted outside, begging them for a response, the two of them ignored him.
It was not until the door was half opened that Jie Chen held Xiangying's arm and kissed her between the eyebrows.
"Get up, he's coming in."
Xiangying yawned, stretched and sat up.
The beautiful eyes, misty with water, looked around.
The clothes I wore before were torn into pieces and definitely can’t be worn anymore.
Looking at Jie Chen's clothes, they were not in much better condition either, they were torn into two pieces of rags.
She could only temporarily take out a few new clothes from the space.
He said with dissatisfaction: "I told you not to tear it."
Jie Chen looked into her eyes and laughed: "Did I tear it or did you tear it in a hurry?"
Xiangying's beautiful eyes widened, and Jie Chen immediately nodded and said obediently: "Okay, I'll tear it."
That's about right.
Xiangying stood up angrily. Jie Chen looked at the curve of her back, his eyes deepened, and he pulled her back.
"Put it on the couch, or Lao Liu will see it."
After spending these few days together, Xiangying's mumblings have been completely memorized by Jie Chen.
She called the Sixth Prince "Old Six", and he accepted it and followed suit.
Xiangying laughed so hard that he fell backwards. He really wanted to see the Sixth Prince’s expression when he heard the word “Sixth Prince”.
With a loud "crash", the mud that sealed the door was completely smashed.
The Sixth Prince rushed in in a panic: "Xiangying! You can't die!"
His hands were bleeding from digging, and he thought he would see the frozen bodies of Xiangying and Jiechen.
He never expected that when he broke into the granary, he would feel warm as spring.
This was not the most surprising thing, but that the Sixth Prince looked at Jie Chen and Xiang Ying in front of him.
The clothes of the two were neat and tidy as if new; Jie Chen's hair crown had sharp golden threads, while Xiang Ying's hairpin was pure jade.
Comparing the two, the Sixth Prince felt that he was more like the man who had been locked in the granary for many days.
How come they don’t look embarrassed at all?
Even though he has nothing to eat and no firewood these days, his face is still so rosy and glowing.
Xiangying, in particular, was like a flower that had absorbed a lot of water, with her fox fur-covered body emitting a faint fragrance like a flower.
The Sixth Prince looked at him twice more, and Xie Chen frowned and stood in front of Xiang Ying.
"What do you want from us?"
Hearing Xie Chen's low and cold voice, the Sixth Prince slowly showed some surprise: "Xie Chen, are you cured?"
Xie Chen said nothing and did not comment.
The Sixth Prince was overjoyed: "I knew it, I knew it! Xiangying, you can cure the disease, why didn't you tell me before?"
Xiangying crossed her arms and said coldly with her red lips: "You misunderstood. How can I cure the epidemic? It was Jie Chen who was very capable and got through it. It has nothing to do with me."
"Impossible!" The Sixth Prince denied bluntly, "You were the one who saved General Bu Feng's wife and daughter. The whole city has heard about it."
Xiangying narrowed his eyes, and his aura was as cold as frost as his gaze moved.
"So what? I saved Lord Bu because he spared our lives. Your Highness the Sixth Prince is so anxious. Could it be that you are also sick?"
Xie Chen followed Xiangying's words and said, "According to the rules you set, anyone who contracts the disease in the future will be burned to death on the spot."
Xiangying smiled and said, "I see. The Sixth Prince came here to ask the two of us to help with the execution. This is easy."
As soon as she finished speaking, she took a quick step forward. Before the guards could react, the Sixth Prince had been grabbed by Xiangying's neck.
She pressed hard, then kicked the Sixth Prince on the back, causing him to fall.
The guards shouted: "How dare you!"
They all drew their swords, and Jie Chen said sternly: "Who dares to move?"
His imposing manner actually shocked the group of guards at once.
The Sixth Prince fell to the ground, coughing violently, with a bloody smell in his mouth.
Xiangying walked up to him with a relaxed and happy pace, bent down and stared at him.
"Sixth Prince, I have left another footprint on you now, do you still want to arrest me?"
The Sixth Prince secretly gritted his teeth, thinking that Xiangying was such a vengeful woman.
He supported himself on the ground, staggered to his feet, and then looked at the guards: "Put away your swords, and leave."
"Your Highness, but..."
"Back off! Don't make me do it again."
The guards glanced at Li Chen secretly and had no choice but to obey and go outside.
The Sixth Prince could feel his whole body burning hot, as if he was being roasted on fire.
No matter how Xiangying provokes him now, he will not get angry. Saving lives is the most important thing.
"Xiangying, I admit that I was a little harsh on you before, because Jie Chen is my brother, I know his background, and I am worried that he will make military achievements and be reused by our father after returning."
Xiangying sneered: "Finally you told the truth? You already know that he is your brother, but you still took advantage of his status and made things difficult for him along the way."
"When you locked us up before, didn't you want to save our lives? Are you giving in now? I'm telling you, I can't save your life. If you have the guts, just kill me."
The Sixth Prince pursed his thin lips, his eyes filled with pain, and looked back and forth at Xiangying and Jiechen.
Xie Chen said nothing, as if Xiang Ying was the one in charge.
The Sixth Prince took a deep breath and said, "Then just state your conditions directly. What do you want me to do in order to save my life?"
Xiangying glanced at him and said, "My requirements are quite demanding."
"You tell me, I want to hear it."
"I ask that you promote me to be the general of the entire team, and everyone must listen to me."
The Sixth Prince's eyes widened: "What nonsense are you talking about? Jie Chen has already made you the military supervisor. Aren't you satisfied?"
Xiangying looked at him coldly with her watery eyes.
"What I want is to control everyone, including your people, and make them obey my orders. If you agree, I will save you. If you don't agree..."
She changed her tone, turned around and sat on the edge of the bed, crossing her legs: "Then go, Jie Chen and I plan to live here until we die."
Xie Chen raised his eyebrows.
He was a little distracted at this moment.
If every day from now on, he could spend happy days with Xiangying like he did these days, then he wouldn't mind living there until he died.
The Sixth Prince gritted his teeth and said, "You! You are going too far. Since ancient times, there has never been a woman serving as a general. Even in the Qi Family Army around you, there is no precedent of a woman leading troops or generals."
Xiangying didn't say anything, and looked like he was determined not to talk anymore if they couldn't reach an agreement.
The Sixth Prince turned around and left in anger.
Xiangying watched him walk away out of the corner of his eye, his face calm and unhurried.
She counted silently in her heart -
three,
two,
…
Before he could count to one, the Sixth Prince turned around and went back, standing not far from Xiangying with a grim look in his eyes.
"I can't make you a general, but I can make you the commander of the army, and you can still manage everyone. If you agree, give me the prescription now!"
The so-called commander-in-chief is a position that temporarily takes charge of all troops.
Xiangying doesn't care what kind of official she becomes. What she wants is to hold power in her own hands and be able to control these people.
She stood up and smiled: "I can't give you the prescription. It's my ancestral secret recipe. I'm the only one in the entire Western Zhou royal family who has it. Sixth brother, you are lucky. I will take care of you personally every day from now on."
The sixth prince’s eyes widened.
What did she call him? Lao Liu!?
