A few days later.
Yan Kingdom.
After a period of fermentation, Zhou Cheng led his army to capture several more cities.
Nowadays,
The Zhou family army has already breached Luo'an City in the Yan Kingdom. This city is an important base of the Yan Kingdom, located at the very center of the dragon vein. Breaching it is equivalent to the Zhou family taking control of the entire northern part of the Yan Kingdom.
"The Eldest Princess."
"If you travel another hundred miles, you will reach Luo'an City."
"The Zhou family's army is currently stationed in Luo'an City. I never expected that in just half a month, Zhou Cheng would have taken over nearly a third of Yan Kingdom's territory. If this continues, I'm afraid the Yan Kingdom's royal family will really change hands."
The female official, riding on horseback, addressed the eldest princess, who was seated in a luxurious carriage.
Their group consisted of several hundred people, including maids and guards.
Moreover, the banner of the Yan Kingdom's royal family was displayed throughout the entire process.
The bandits and robbers in the vicinity knew that the people inside were of noble status when they saw the royal banner. In addition, with many guards, ordinary robbers dared not approach, for fear of getting themselves killed.
Apart from the slow pace of their journey, the princess and her entourage encountered no unexpected incidents along the way.
"Has Zhou Cheng also taken Luo'an City?" The princess lifted the curtain and looked at Luo'an City with complicated emotions. She could only see the endless mountain peaks and not the city gate.
"I never expected so many things to happen in just three months."
“When Father Emperor took action against the Zhou family, my younger brother was worried that Miss Cheng would be implicated and insisted that I break up the marriage between the two families. I tried many methods, but I did not expect that Miss Cheng would rather die than abandon us.”
"I wonder how Miss Cheng is doing now..."
The female official added, "The rumor is that Miss Cheng did not disappear, but has been with Young Master Zhou all along."
"Your Highness, you won't run into Miss Cheng then, will you?"
"If she were by Young Master Zhou's side and learned that you had humbled yourself to represent Yan Kingdom in negotiating peace with the Zhou family, and that you were even going to talk to Young Master Zhou... would Miss Cheng accept it? Wouldn't she whisper rumors in Young Master Zhou's ear?"
The lady-in-waiting's words struck a chord with the princess.
yes.
If Miss Cheng were by Zhou Cheng's side and learned that the imperial court was negotiating peace with the Zhou family, dividing Yan Kingdom in two, with each side establishing its own emperor, and that she would have to exchange her body for peace, would Miss Cheng make a scene?
The princess stared blankly into the distance, and scenes involuntarily surfaced in her mind.
The scene depicts Zhou Cheng's meticulous care and concern for Cheng Xianyi.
The scene of Zhou Cheng personally brewing tonic and feeding it to Cheng Xianyi.
Zhou Cheng never stopped holding Cheng Xianyi's slender hand tightly wherever they went.
.........
Those scenes, those events, were imprinted in the Princess's mind. Gradually, Cheng Xianyi's peerless face transformed into hers, and she became the one accompanying Zhou Cheng in doing these things.
here we go again!
This vivid imagery is back!
That's Cheng Xianyi, not you!
Wake up.
How could you possibly expect him to treat you with the same preciousness he showed her?
But why not?
Her status was more noble than Cheng Xianyi's. Although her appearance wasn't as stunning as Cheng Xianyi's, she was still considered exceptionally beautiful. Moreover, she was of royal blood, and...
That's enough!
Forget about it!
The eldest princess quickly shook her head, forcing herself not to think about it too deeply, forcing herself to suppress all her thoughts, and then gave a bitter laugh: "Now that things have come to this, we can only pray that Miss Cheng is no longer here."
"As a princess of a nation, I have been deeply loved and have never embarked on the path of marriage alliance with a foreign country."
"Indeed, she lowered herself, gave up the title of wife, and abandoned all dignity, using her body to soften Zhou Cheng's heart and give the court a way out for the sake of the honor and disgrace of the Yan Kingdom royal family."
"I hope Zhou Cheng can be a little soft-hearted and show me some respect."
Speaking of which...
A hint of humiliation flashed in the princess's eyes. She closed her eyes tightly and took a deep breath.
As if she had mustered up her courage, she said to the female official, "Bring me that silk shawl and let me change into it. I know that the court has no confidence to negotiate with the Zhou family."
"But... never mind, never mind..."
That moment.
The noble and dignified princess changed into the clothes that had been prepared in advance.
It was a semi-transparent silk gauze dress, with no undergarment or any other covering underneath, revealing glimpses of skin and creating a powerful visual spectacle and impact.
I heard that
When men are focused and engaged, they are more likely to make radical promises that they wouldn't normally keep.
She was never one for those vulgar and seductive tricks. Rather than lowering herself to learn them, she'd rather be more direct. With her curvaceous figure, she should be able to win over Zhou Cheng's heart a little...
