Chapter 380 Aunt and Sister-in-law Join Forces
"Since General Sun has said so, I will speak directly to you."
Huo Yanran acted like a princess. People born into the royal family naturally have the aura of a superior. What's more, Sun Liangji was now tied up and could only lie on the ground and be slaughtered.
The little princess looked down at him and said, "I want you to be obedient."
Before, Sun Liangji would have thought that a little girl saying such words was just a dream.
But this Princess Changning only looks delicate, but is actually very efficient in her work.
He started fighting right away and even fed him a deadly poison.
Sun Liangji gritted his teeth and said, "The Emperor sent me to escort the princess to Beili. He had already instructed me to obey the princess's orders unless she changed her mind. Why did the princess have to do this?"
"That's not what General Sun originally said," Chunzhi said at the right moment. "The situation is critical now, and we don't have time to play tricks on General Sun. You either obey us completely or die. These are the two paths before you. Choose your own."
"Yes." Huo Yanran rarely saw her sister-in-law act so decisively and decisively. She imitated her and said, "I'll give you a cup of tea. If General Sun can't figure it out, then you can leave as soon as possible."
Sun Liangji didn't expect that the aunt and sister-in-law were serious about it, and his face turned green when he heard this.
Seeing that Prince Chang'an was not there, he originally wanted to use the emperor to suppress the two men. After all, most women are timid. If he fooled them first and then scared them, they would lose their composure and give others an opportunity to take advantage of them.
But this Princess Chang'an, who came from the common people, had transformed into such a calm and sophisticated person at some point, not giving him any chance to regain the initiative.
Sun Liangji was a man who believed in the saying "A good man does not eat what is in front of him." After a moment's thought, he immediately expressed his position, "When a general is away from home, he may not obey the orders of his sovereign. Now, I will naturally obey the princess and the princess."
"General Sun, you must keep your word." Huo Yanran said, "After all, you are now poisoned, and I am the only one who has the antidote.
Chunzhi added, "Don't even think about threatening our lives after you untie us. I've already sent a letter home to the Queen. If the princess is injured or even dies in Beili, it will all be General Sun's fault for his inadequate protection."
Haruji said this with a smile on her face, and every word she said was a threat.
General Sun was only thinking about completing the mission of escorting the princess and returning to the capital to be promoted.
But by doing this, Chunzhi could mean that if Sun Liangji had any second thoughts, she would directly ruin his future.
With this letter, if anything happens to the princess, even if General Sun has a big mouth, it will be in vain to explain to the emperor a thousand times after returning to the capital.
It was a luxury for him to even keep his life, let alone get promoted or make money.
Upon hearing this, Sun Liangji's expression suddenly became even uglier.
Because just now he really thought that as long as he tricked the aunt and sister-in-law into untying him and put the knife on their necks, he would naturally be able to get the antidote. But it turned out that the Princess of Chang'an had already made the second move.
The princess chosen by Prince Chang'an himself is indeed no ordinary person.
Sun Liangji pondered for a moment, and then quickly demonstrated on the spot what it meant to be a man of insight. He bowed his head and said, "Princess and Princess, you are overthinking. How dare I disrespect you two?"
"It's best not to dare."
Chunzhi spoke lightly, drew out the dagger from her waist, and stabbed Sun Liangji.
The latter suddenly opened his eyes wide, wondering why the Princess of Chang'an was talking peacefully and suddenly attacked someone.
The next moment, the sharp dagger cut the rope, and the rope that bound Sun Liangji's hands and feet was broken.
"General Sun." Huo Yanran called him and threw a pill over. "Take it."
Sun Liangji, who was frightened and sweating, finally came to his senses and reached out to take the pill given by the princess.
Huo Yanran said, "This is the antidote. It can temporarily relieve the poison in your body, but it's only effective for three days. Whether you can get the second one depends on General Sun's performance."
Sun Liangji paused before making up his mind to swallow the pill.
The antidote worked very quickly. Not long after taking it, Sun Liangji felt that the abdominal cramps were relieved a lot. He quickly expressed his loyalty to the princess and the queen, hoping to get more antidote from Huo Yanran.
But no matter what he said, the little princess remained indifferent and quickly asked him to go out and lead the troops to patrol the surroundings. After all, Sun Liangji had been in the princess's carriage for too long. If he didn't go out, the people outside would wonder what they were doing in the carriage.
"yes."
Sun Liangji retreated in response, his attitude much more respectful than before.
After the man got off the carriage and walked away, Huo Yanran secretly breathed a sigh of relief, sat down heavily, and turned to ask Chunzhi, "Sister-in-law, was my performance just now cruel enough?"
Chunzhi said: "Not vicious at all."
Huo Yanran exclaimed, "Ah!" "What if Sun Liangji doesn't take my words seriously?"
"What I mean is—" Harue said, "How can threatening a subordinate with ulterior motives in order to protect oneself be considered cruel?"
She said, "You've done very well. Even if Sun Liangji wants to pretend to obey you, he should consider whether he can return to Daxing alive after offering you up or abandoning you. Even if he really returns to the capital, his future and official position will be in jeopardy. For someone like him, it would be worse than death. Therefore, he will definitely do his best to protect you."
Huo Yanran's brows gradually relaxed when she heard her sister-in-law say this. She immediately added, "Sister-in-law's safety is as important as mine. As long as I'm alive, I won't let her get hurt."
"I know." Chunzhi said softly, "Our Yanran is a very good girl."
Huo Yanran was too embarrassed to respond. She thought to herself that if it weren't for her, her sister-in-law wouldn't have to put herself in danger.
When Chunzhi saw that the little princess didn't say anything, she knew that she must be blaming herself again.
Chunzhi sat with Huo Yanran and raised his hand to touch her hair. "No one knew that coming to Beili would lead to so many things. I don't regret coming here, and now is not the time to feel guilty."
“Sister-in-law…”
Huo Yanran looked up at Chunzhi, wanting to say something but not knowing where to start.
Chunzhi said, "The most important thing right now is to protect as many people as possible and keep everyone alive."
Huo Zheng and Liu Yan both led people deep into the areas where the three major tribes were located, and it was unknown when they would be able to return.
The current situation is complex and difficult to understand, and any carelessness will affect the overall situation.
And they can't just sit there and wait for them to come and rescue them.
We need to find more ways to respond.
Chunzhi said, "Yanran, call over the palace maid you trust the most."
Huo Yanran couldn't help but ask her after hearing this, "What are you going to do, sister-in-law?"
