Chapter 263 Haven’t you ever seen someone being chased by a dog?
Guo Lu stood outside the yard and watched Jin Congcong being chased by Da Huang with her lips twitching slightly, while Jin Congcong's eyes were full of vigilance when he saw Guo Lu.
"What are you looking at~ What are you looking at~ Haven't you ever seen someone being chased by a dog?"
"Are you here to see Ruo'er? What do you want to see Ruo'er for? Ah... I'm warning you, put away all those little thoughts of yours. If you dare to do anything to hurt Ruo'er, ah... I will never let you go."
"I...why am I so unlucky? Saving someone brings Ruo'er into trouble, saving someone brings Ruo'er into trouble. From now on, I will never be kind without reason again."
"Oh... Da Huang, that's enough. Why are you chasing me and biting me so early in the morning? Did I steal your child?"
Woof woof woof… Woof woof…
As soon as Dahuang heard the word "child", he chased him even more fiercely.
"Da Huang, have you lost your mind? Why don't you ask my master to take a look? Ah... Stop biting! Look at how much you've bitten my robe. It's completely torn. How can I mend it..."
Just when Jin Congcong was being chased for who knows how many rounds, Bier came out.
"The princess lets you in."
Seeing Guo Lu following Bi'er inside, Jin Congcong shouted loudly: "Bi'er, Bi'er Auntie, come here, Auntie, please look at me quickly. Can you take Bu Bu out and let her talk to Da Huang to stop chasing him? I... I'm almost dead from exhaustion."
"Bubu and Dahuang have a good relationship. Dahuang can understand everything she says... Why can't Dahuang understand what I say? Ah... Dahuang, you're biting my robe again!"
Bi'er laughed: "Mr. Jin, you'd better run slowly. The little princess is now refining the elixir with the medical master Du and I'm afraid she has no time to take care of you. You'd better run faster and wish you good luck."
Hearing Jin Congcong's howling, Bu Ruo walked out, sat on the rocking chair in the yard and slowly rocked.
"Tell me, what is it that you want to see me about? Let me make it clear first, I will definitely not give you the border troop deployment map. If you have the ability, go to the study and steal it. If you can steal it, you are considered capable."
Guo Lu smiled bitterly: "As you know, I didn't come here to get the defense map, but to discuss cooperation with you, Princess..."
Bu Ruo narrowed her eyes and said, "Cooperation... Let's talk about it."
Guo Lu knelt on the ground. "Princess, you should already know my identity. Yes, I am Princess Beining, the seventh child. The third child of the third princess, Guo Shuangwen, who came to marry the prince. It was she who...colluded with the Second Prince to kill my mother and the other princes in the palace. Just when she was about to kill me, my wet nurse protected me and I escaped on the day of my mother's burial."
"General Di on the Beining border is my uncle. I originally wanted to sneak into the Regent's Palace and steal the troop deployment map and give it to him, so that he could help my father and inform him of everything Guo Shuangwen and the Second Prince had done. But... in the end, I overestimated my own abilities."
"My uncle said a while ago that another concubine in the palace is pregnant and he intends to take back the military power from him. He also found out that my mother's death is related to my father. He borrowed the second prince and the third princess to kill my mother for the sake of military power. Now we have no way out, so we want to cooperate with the princess."
"We, the Di Family Army, are willing to rebel against Beining. Whether we are incorporated into the Great Zhou or to give them a blow from behind, it doesn't matter whether Beining is annexed by the Great Zhou or who becomes the emperor. We... just want the emperor of Beining to die."
Bu Ruo looked at her and continued to shake her head: "Well, tell me about what happened in your Beining Palace. You should know that this princess loves to listen to gossip the most."
"Stand up and sit down. Bi'er will make a pot of tea and sit down to listen together."
After saying that, he shouted outside the courtyard: "Jin Congcong, please keep your voice down. I want to hear a story."
Guo Lu: …
Jin Congcong: ...
"My father has lived to this day and has a total of seven princesses and four princes, including me. The second prince is the legitimate son, born to the Empress. The third princess's mother is Concubine Rou. Concubine Rou's mother's family is only a fifth-rank official, the lowest of all the concubines. She was able to achieve the position of concubine through her looks and skills... Just like her title, her skill in pretending to be weak is very useful to my father."
"My mother is a noble concubine, and her family is a general's mansion. Although my father has a childhood affection for my mother, it is more because my grandfather's family are all generals and hold military power. My mother is also aware of this. As for the other princes and princesses, they were all born to concubines below the rank."
"The eldest princess was the empress's first daughter, but she didn't live past her first birthday because she was born with a small child. The other princes were secretly killed by the third princess and the second prince. In the end, the second prince also died at her hands."
"Princesses from other countries might just want a stable life. If they don't marry into a foreign country, they'd be lucky enough to be able to provide a stable life for their own ministers. But my third sister is not like that. She has been cruel and ruthless since she was a child. She, a woman, actually wants to sit in that position."
"The eldest prince died because she secretly tampered with the horse in the paddock, causing the eldest prince to be thrown out by the horse and his neck to be broken and die on the spot."
"The Third Prince was discovered having an affair with one of my father's concubines in the palace. After being confined by my father, he became depressed and drank constantly, eventually ruining his health beyond repair. But I know that his wine was drugged. The drug was found by my Third Sister and administered by the Second Prince."
"The Fourth Prince drowned when he was sent by our father to control the flood. Haha, actually, he was pushed in from behind."
"In the end, only the Second Prince was left, and he was also murdered by my Third Sister and her mother..."
"In the beginning, I didn't understand why the Second Prince would team up with my Third Sister. It wasn't until my uncle found out that my Third Sister wasn't actually my father's child, but Concubine Rou's child from an affair with someone else. The Second Prince discovered this and threatened them, which is why they came together. The child in my Third Sister's belly is also the Second Prince's."
"Two months ago, all of my father's sons died, leaving him temporarily unmotivated to go to war with the Great Zhou. So, he wanted to choose a princess to marry into the Great Zhou to delay the birth of another son. When my third sister found out, she went straight to my father and begged him to allow the marriage, saying she...had set her sights on the Regent."
"In fact, she had never met the prince at that time. She just wanted to marry him and use him to help her return to Beining and sit on the throne. But... Princess, I saw the third sister in the palace that day. It was the time when the little doctor Jin helped her pay back the money."
"I know her too well. I know that the look in her eyes shows that she's truly attracted to the prince and is interested in him. So, Princess... even if it's impossible for the prince to marry my third sister, you must be careful of her. From childhood to adulthood... there's always been some inexplicable luck about her."
