Luoyang was not as impoverished as Jiangling, which required the establishment of military camps. After the Zhou family army captured Luoyang, all government offices and residences were occupied by the Zhou family, and the residences were fully furnished.
In the side hall.
The eldest princess, with her black hair flowing over her shoulders, sat gracefully and elegantly on the stool.
The bronze mirror reflected a striking and beautiful face. Her skin was smooth and flawless, and her features exuded an air of pampered elegance. One glance was enough to tell that she was no ordinary person.
She raised her hand to touch her cheek, her eyes filled with an unyielding solemnity and complexity.
"Your Highness, it seems you have completed your first step. Young Master Zhou has agreed to allow the imperial entourage to enter Luo'an City."
"The guard outside the city gate said that Young Master Zhou originally disagreed, but after he mentioned that the people on this trip were you, Young Master Zhou changed his mind and allowed the court to enter the city."
"You mean... does Young Master Zhou have some feelings for you?" The female official asked the princess with a happy expression as she cleaned and tidied the side hall.
The room is neither too big nor too small, with a two-seater tatami room in the center.
The lady-in-waiting took away all the tea sets and tea table that were placed there, and thoughtfully laid out a layer of silk cushions. From a distance, it looked just like a bed, making it very convenient for the two of them to do something on it.
The eldest princess turned around, gazing at the tidied-up area, and murmured absentmindedly, "I have no connection with him whatsoever, what feelings could he possibly have for me..."
"It's nothing more than feeling a little pity for me because I'm a woman."
Hearing the princess belittle herself like that, the lady-in-waiting sighed and pursed her lips.
Pity?
But how can a man feel pity for a woman if he doesn't have feelings for her? Although Miss Cheng is beautiful, her status and position are far inferior to those of the Princess.
If they really fought, the eldest princess might not necessarily lose to Cheng Xianyi!
As soon as the thought arose, the lady-in-waiting suddenly raised her head and whispered in the princess's ear with a somewhat moved tone, "Princess, don't think like that. With your looks, you will definitely succeed."
"Moreover, when I passed by the main hall just now, I heard people talking about how Cheng Xianyi seems to have disappeared."
"It is very likely that they were kidnapped by bandits and vagrants. It has been half a month since the incident, and the Zhou family only discovered it today."
"Wh-what?" The eldest princess exclaimed in shock, her eyes revealing disbelief.
Cheng Xianyi has disappeared?
Was it robbed by bandits on the way?
How could this be...?
The eldest princess wasn't denying or disbelieving the matter; rather, she genuinely hadn't expected such a thing to happen to Cheng Xianyi!
"If this is true, and Miss Cheng failed to catch up with the army and has been missing for half a month, there is probably only one possibility!"
At this point,
The eldest princess raised her head and uttered words that made her heart pound: "Miss Cheng was probably forcibly abducted on her journey..."
"Her face and figure are unparalleled, not only in Yan Kingdom, but even in the Central Plains. Any man who sees her would be filled with evil thoughts, and something might happen on the spot."
"My brother was completely captivated and infatuated with Miss Cheng after just one glance at her."
“If even the crown prince of a country is like this, let alone those bandits… In addition, so much time has passed, half a month has passed, her innocence is probably in jeopardy.”
Her innocence is likely in jeopardy.
The moment this thought entered her mind, the princess felt her blood boiling.
Bang bang bang!
My heart almost jumped out of my throat.
Her first emotion was shock, then regret, and finally, it transformed into pity and relief...
After realizing that she was actually relieved that Cheng Xianyi had been kidnapped, she froze for two seconds and quickly suppressed this terrible thought back into her mind, but the next second, it couldn't help but pop up again.
The eldest princess thought—
If Cheng Xianyi is really captured by the bandits, something will definitely happen. Once something happens, Zhou Cheng will definitely despise her... and will definitely develop a physical aversion to Cheng Xianyi.
Some things, once they happen, are gone forever, and you can never go back to where you started.
No matter how much Zhou Cheng likes Cheng Xianyi or cares about her, once something like this happens, it will inevitably create distance and resentment. It's impossible for him to be completely indifferent!
At this crucial moment, she could replace Cheng Xianyi, stay by Zhou Cheng's side, and even obtain the title of his legal wife. She could also rightfully ask Zhou Cheng to withdraw his troops for her sake.
No!
You can't think like that!
How could she have such an evil thought?
Stop right now!
"Da da da..."
Just as the princess was still grappling with her emotions, footsteps sounded at the door.
