Gao Zhijun was so nervous that she couldn't sleep, so she sat there until General Weiwu came to invite them to dinner.
"Princess, the food is ready. Please go and eat."
The mighty general said outside the wing room.
After hearing this, Mo Xue went into Gao Zhijun's room and saw her sitting on the bed, motionless and pale.
"Princess, what's wrong?"
Mo Xue asked Gao Zhijun worriedly.
"Nothing, what's wrong?"
Gao Zhijun came back to her senses after hearing Mo Xue's words.
"The mighty general is here to invite the princess to dinner."
Mo Xue said.
"Okay, let's go."
After Gao Zhijun finished speaking, she took Mo Xue out of the room and went to eat.
In order not to alert the enemy, Gao Zhijun pretended nothing happened.
As soon as she walked out of the room, Huo Jinqian was already waiting for her with General Wu.
"Are you okay? Why do you look even more tired? Did you not sleep well?"
Huo Jinqian saw that Gao Zhijun's condition was getting worse and asked worriedly.
"It's okay, maybe he's just used to his bed!"
Gao Zhijun didn't want Huo Jinqian to worry, so she made up a lame excuse.
"So that's how it is. Let's go eat and then go to bed."
Of course Huo Jinqian didn't believe it, but in order not to arouse the suspicion of the mighty general, Huo Jinqian had to pretend to believe it.
When they arrived at the main hall, a table full of food was already set out, and several generals were waiting for Gao Zhijun and Huo Jinqian.
"Princess, Duke Weiguo, please take a seat! Life at the border is tough, and we don't have much luxury. I hope you won't mind."
The mighty general asked Gao Zhijun and Huo Jinqian to sit down and pointed to a table of food.
"It doesn't matter! As long as I can fill my stomach!"
Gao Zhijun looked at the rich food on the table. Although it was not as good as the food in Beijing, these dishes were already quite good.
After everyone took their seats, they started eating.
Neither Gao Zhijun nor Huo Jinqian had the rule of not speaking on stage. So, while everyone ate, the generals talked about interesting stories from the border.
After dinner, Gao Zhijun and Huo Jinqian returned to the courtyard. Huo Jinqian asked Gao Zhijun, "What's on your mind?"
"Jinqian, do you remember the information we found about General Weiwu?"
"Remember, why are you asking this suddenly?"
"We found out that General Weiwu is Concubine Li's cousin. If he wants to harm us, it must be related to Concubine Li."
Gao Zhijun expressed her guess.
"You mean, it was Concubine Li who asked him to do this?"
Huo Jinqian asked Gao Zhijun, and Gao Zhijun nodded.
"Why would Concubine Li do this? Does she want to?"
Huo Jinqian asked in shock.
"That's what I suspected. I'm afraid the situation in the capital is about to change. I'm worried that my family will be retaliated against by the loyal and brave men. What do you think we should do?"
Gao Zhijun expressed her concerns.
"It's okay. Didn't you leave my eldest brother here? If the capital really was going to change, my eldest brother would have brought everyone out of the capital and brought them here. The most important thing now is to catch General Weiwu's conspiracy, so we know how to deal with it."
"Jinqian, you're right. After Canglang investigates today, he'll be able to find out something."
"We just wait and see, pretending we don't know anything, and let them relax. Only then can we resolve the situation."
Gao Zhijun and Huo Jinqian discussed a countermeasure, and then they pretended nothing happened and went back to their room to rest.
It was not until dinner time that Gao Zhijun was awakened by Mo Xue and got up to have dinner.
After dinner, everyone went back to wash up and go to bed.
As night fell, Canglang quietly walked around the military camp and found out where Qinglong and the others lived.
"Tianlang, Polang, Qinglong, the princess wants to tell you that there is something strange in the military camp, and there is something strange about the mighty general. You must be more careful and vigilant."
Canglang sneaked into Tianlang and the others' room and told them the princess's instructions, asking them to be careful and not be harmed by others.
"I suspected the same thing. Logically, we shouldn't be put here, since we're guests. And their excuse is lame, like they're worried about disturbing our rest. Also, I quietly slipped out of the yard today and looked around, and I noticed quite a few soldiers patrolling the grounds. It seems like it's for security, but I think it's mostly to keep an eye on us."
Tianlang also expressed his doubts.
As soon as he moved into the yard, he realized that it was quite remote and there were soldiers patrolling from time to time.
"I feel the same way. This place is too abnormal. If things are abnormal, there must be something wrong. It's like they are monitoring us."
Polang also expressed his doubts.
"No matter what, you must be careful. Don't let them trick you and kill you."
"Don't worry, Canglang. We will be careful. Also, we are not with the princess. You must protect her."
"That's right, Tianlang is right! Otherwise, I will go with you to protect the princess."
Polang felt that Tianlang was right. He was worried that Canglang could not protect the princess alone, so he wanted to go over and protect the princess.
"No, we can't alert the enemy!"
Canglang should oppose it immediately.
If there was suddenly one more person protecting the princess, it would definitely arouse suspicion.
Moreover, the enemy is in the dark, while they are in the light. If they alert the enemy again, they will only get beaten.
"That's right, we can't alert the enemy! Canglang, you must protect the princess and not let her get hurt."
"If there's something fishy going on with General Weiwu, this is a major conspiracy. Canglang, you can't take it lightly."
"Don't worry, you must be vigilant and protect yourselves. Leave the princess to me, I will protect her at all costs."
Canglang promised.
“Remember your promise!”
"Remember what you said."
"If the lady is in danger, I won't let you go!"
Tianlang, Polang and Qinglong said at the same time.
