Chapter 359: He Zhaojun appears again! Asking to marry the Fifth Prince?
Shao Shang was resting in the cabin. Perhaps because she was pregnant, she had become particularly sleepy recently. No matter how rough the water was, she slept soundly.
But today, she dreamed of Sister Zhaojun again. It seemed to be her voice, calling her name in her ear. Shao Shang was overjoyed: "Sister Zhaojun! You finally came to meet me in my dream?"
"But why do you call me Madam Huo?" The clear face of He Zhaojun in his memory gradually became blurred, and the figure faded. Shao Shang was anxious and woke up from his dream and sat up.
She took two breaths, feeling a little uneasy. She called out softly, "Lian Fang? Lian Fang?" Lian Fang, who was dozing off beside her, startled and quickly stood up, bowing to her, "Girl, what can I do for you?"
Before the two of them said anything more, they heard someone outside the door calling her in a low voice. If she hadn't woken up, she probably wouldn't have heard it clearly: "Is Madam Huo asleep?"
When Shao Shang heard the voice, he ran to the door barefoot: "Sister Zhaojun!"
When he opened the cabin door, he saw a dark-skinned woman with a crane mask covering her face. Her eyes and movements revealed a hint of helplessness: "You call me Sister Zhao Jun, have we ever met before?"
Lian Fang finally recognized the visitor as Zhao Jun, the sister of Zhao Hu, the King of Nanyue. She quickly whispered an introduction to Shao Shang. Shao Shang shook his head in disbelief, "Why does her voice sound so similar to Zhao Jun's?"
Seeing that she was still barefoot, He Zhaojun remembered that Mrs. Huo was pregnant. She quickly bent down and helped her put on her tabi and shoes, then draped a blanket over her undergarment. "The water is cold, Mrs. Huo, don't catch a cold."
Shao Shang didn't refuse. Since she was the sister of the King of Nanyue, how could she be her elder sister, Zhaojun? But the voice was too similar. Perhaps it was because it had been a year, so she didn't remember it clearly. For a moment, she mistook the person in front of her for He Zhaojun.
"Princess Zhao, you said you were in a hurry to marry the fifth prince, but what happened?" Shao Shang sat down wrapped in the quilt, staring at the person in front of her without blinking, still holding on to the hope that "Sister Zhaojun is joking with her" or "Sister Zhaojun is testing when she will recognize her."
However, the face of Princess Zhao in front of him was covered by a mask, so his appearance could not be seen clearly. However, He Zhaojun's skin was extremely white, as if it was a sculpture of ice and jade. Even if she had been wandering around for a long time, her skin would not be so evenly tanned.
He Zhaojun sat down worriedly and drank a cup of tea. She couldn't tell her that she was wanted by the whole city, otherwise if she handed herself over, wouldn't everything be over?
"Madam Huo, you may not know that I once had a personal grudge with the Third Prince, a very serious one," she whispered close to Shao Shang's ear. "If he discovered I had arrived in the capital, I'm afraid he would capture and torture me. Only by becoming family with him can he prevent him from openly attacking me."
Shao Shang pondered for a long time before realizing that Princess Zhao was planning to use the marriage to save her life. Although she didn't think Wen Ziduan would harm a saint from South Vietnam because of personal grudges, she was willing to help Princess Zhao.
So, the moment she disembarked, she ordered someone to drive the Princess Zhao straight to Yongle Palace. "The Third Prince is currently leading his troops to the outskirts of the capital to search for someone, and he hasn't returned yet. You should go straight to the palace and finalize the matter. Even if he finds out later, he won't be able to do anything to you."
At this moment, Long Feibai suddenly felt his heart stirring, his blood vessels dilating. The connection between the Gu worms had never been so close. He hurriedly rode his horse to catch up with Wen Ziduan: "Third Prince, please return to the city as soon as possible. Zhaojun should be entering the palace!"
