Ignore becomes respect!
"Zhu Zhizhou also knows that the prince was attacked and seriously injured when he came here. Now he has finally had a few days to recuperate. How can he drink and eat meat again? If something happens and the emperor's order is delayed, who will take the responsibility?" After speaking, Yun Qianmeng picked up the spoon in his right hand and gently stirred the medicine in the bowl, blowing away the excess heat in time so that Chu Feiyang could drink the medicine as soon as possible!
How could Zhu Zhizhou have expected Yun Qianmeng to be such a difficult woman, and that she could be sent away with just a few words? However, the King of Chu, who was sitting in the first seat, remained silent, allowing the Princess of Chu to decide everything for him. This made Zhu Zhizhou even more annoyed. He could only frown at the thought of his daughter's pleading eyes, and his mind raced. After a while, he finally spoke, "Your Highness, what you said is absolutely right! However, I only invite Your Highness to enjoy the singing and dancing, and I will never urge You to drink. Please rest assured, Your Highness!"
"Zhu Zhizhou is thoughtful! But this song and dance will take quite a while. The prince is injured now, how can he sleep late?" Yun Qianmeng slowly stirred the yellow-brown liquid in her eyes, and she sneered at Chu Feiyang from the corner of her eyes. Then she smiled and continued, "Not long ago, at the dinner at Prince Duan's Mansion, the Sea Prince's wife was kind enough to give the prince a few maids, but the prince refused! After all, wine and meat are the most likely to make people lose their minds. We are all away from home, so we have to be on high alert. If the court discredits us, wouldn't that be a betrayal of the emperor's kindness? However, fortunately, the prince's wife was magnanimous and kind, and didn't make a fuss. Otherwise, the prince and I would feel bad! Zhu Zhizhou, don't you agree?"
Yun Qianmeng used Princess Qian as a shield to make Zhu Zhong give up!
After all, there is a huge difference between the Palace of the Prince of the Sea and a prefect, and Princess Qian did not dare to get angry after being rejected, so Zhu Zhong has no right to be angry!
Moreover, although Yun Qianmeng's words were implicit, they also showed her amazing insight, and also pointed out the purpose that Zhu Zhong did not have time to say out loud. Although she rejected Zhu Zhong, she also saved his face!
This made Zhu Zhong admire the Princess of Chu immensely. No wonder the King of Chu remained silent throughout. Having such a princess was truly a virtuous wife! She was able to ward off trouble without making enemies. She was truly an extremely intelligent woman!
"I understand! I am sorry for disturbing the prince and princess tonight. I hope you don't mind!" His mind changed instantly, and Zhu Zhong bowed to the two of them!
"You are too polite, Governor Zhu. If there is nothing else, please go back!" After personally tasting the temperature of the medicine, Yun Qianmeng smiled lightly and spoke. However, at this moment, she had put away the oppression she had just revealed, and turned into the ordinary-looking princess she used to be!
"Yes, I'll take my leave!" Zhu Zhong bowed in shame and left the east wing!
Yun Qianmeng turned around and stuffed the medicine bowl into the hands of Chu Feiyang who was watching the show. "Your Highness, drink the medicine!"
Chu Feiyang looked at the dark medicine in the bowl, a trace of helplessness flashed across his eyes, and then he asked for a reward, "Princess, you rejected such a good opportunity for me, so is it tonight?"
Yun Qianmeng looked at Chu Feiyang who was asking for candy with a warm smile, and then said, "Of course I will watch the prince fall asleep!"
After he finished speaking, Yun Qianmeng turned around and walked out of the side hall!
Inside the Zhu Mansion, Miss Zhu was waiting for her father's arrival with great anticipation, even though her servants had not found out the man's identity!
But apart from the King of Chu, there was no one else who came to Jiangzhou these days, and that man had a handsome appearance and noble temperament. He must be the King of Chu on a secret tour!
As long as her father persuades the King of Chu to attend today's banquet, she will try her best to win the favor of the prince!
"Miss, the master is back!" At this time, Na Huan'er ran in quickly!
When Miss Zhu heard this, she immediately smiled brightly. Without waiting for Huan'er to tell her what Zhu Zhong's face looked like when he returned, she ran out of the backyard in ecstasy, came to the lobby, and sweetly called out to Zhu Zhong, "Daddy!"
Zhu Zhong looked at his daughter's cheerful face, sighed in his heart, and could only force himself to speak: "Why did you run out? Don't forget that you are a young lady, how can you be so reckless!" Now, when he saw his childish daughter compared with the steady and generous Princess Chu, it was really a miracle.
The difference between places!
"Dad, why did you come back just now? Where is the prince? Did he agree to attend the banquet?" Miss Zhu walked to Zhu Zhong attentively, stretched out her hand to hold his shoulders, and then inquired about the news!
"The prince is not feeling well and has gone to bed early!" Not wanting his daughter to know too much, Zhu Zhong just spoke perfunctorily!
After he finished speaking, Zhu Zhong frowned and walked back to his study!
However, Miss Zhu watched her father's back disappear in the corridor, and a hint of jealousy instantly flashed in her eyes. She thought it must be the Princess of Chu who stopped the prince. How could such a jealous woman be qualified to stand beside the beautiful King of Chu? One day she would find out the truth and see how the Princess of Chu had the nerve to sit firmly on the throne of the princess!
And at this time outside Linzhou City!
Han Shaomian, dressed in a royal blue brocade robe, was riding a horse and waiting outside Linzhou City with his subordinates!
After a while, they heard the sound of cavalry coming from far away. The deafening sound made the defenders on the Linzhou city wall stretch their necks and try hard to see who the visitors were in the dark light!
Han Shaomian and his group raised the torches in their hands, and after looking at the person leading the way, a look of relief suddenly appeared on their serious faces!
"Han Shaomian!" When the leader pulled the reins and stopped the horse in front of him, Han Shaomian immediately introduced himself, looking at the other party with straight eyes and bowing!
"Xiahou Qin!" The other party was also a cheerful person. Seeing that the other party was also sent by the court to meet up with him, he generously gave his name!
"Prince Xiahou, please!" Through the light of the torch, Han Shaomian saw that the man on horseback had a look that was no less handsome than Xiahou An'er. However, compared to Xiahou An'er's overly feminine face, Xiahou Qin was a little rough, with a masculine demeanor, especially his smiling eyes which revealed a cheerfulness. His unpretentious behavior immediately won Han Shaomian's favor!
Xiahou Qin was even more intently observing Han Shaomian. He saw that this elegant young man who grew up in Kyoto had not complained at all after waiting for him for such a long time. He even treated him politely and took the initiative to greet him. Almost instantly, Xiahou Qin was filled with favor towards Han Shaomian. He immediately smiled and said, "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, Minister Han. Please come in!"
After saying this, the two of them rode their horses towards their common destination!
In the Prince's Palace of Northern Qi!
Hai Tian woke up with pain all over her body. She was thrown on the cold floor tiles. The abandoned hall without a charcoal stove was very cold, making Hai Tian slowly crawl up with a chill all over her body!
"Someone, light the lamp!" The hoarse voice was dry and bitter, totally different from the clear and smooth voice of the past!
Hai Tian stroked her aching abdomen and slowly sat down on the icy ground. Looking around, the hall was pitch black and the silence was so frightening!
"Someone, light the lamp!" Even though she was in such a miserable state now, Hai Tian still acted like a princess and shouted loudly towards the empty abandoned palace!
"What are you screaming about! Who are you trying to scare in the middle of the night?" At this moment, the guards outside the door suddenly started cursing. This woman had their chief guard's arm chopped off by the eldest prince, and they would settle this account slowly later. Yet, she still had the nerve to yell here!
"How dare you! I am your Crown Princess. Hurry up and get someone to light a lamp for me!" Hai Tian suddenly turned around and looked outside the hall. Her eyes, still blazing with anger even in the darkness, were as frightening as a wild beast. However, she was in pain all over and couldn't stand up, otherwise she would have killed these lazy maids!
"Crown Princess? Are you worthy enough? Let me tell you, your people have been ordered to be killed by the Crown Prince! From now on, you are the only one living in this abandoned palace. If you can't survive, just hang yourself, but don't pollute the land of our Northern Qi!" The young guard couldn't stand such an arrogant woman the most. She was obviously nothing, so why was she so arrogant?
Moreover, she heard the discussions of the guards in the prince's main palace. If she and the eldest prince had not gone to disturb the prince, how could the prince have fainted again?
The prince was too merciful for not killing such a beautiful woman with a single blow!
"What?" Hai Tian's heart trembled! Cold sweat immediately broke out on her forehead. Qi Jingyuan had killed thousands of people she had brought with him. He was so cruel and vicious that he didn't even give the Sea Palace a single face!
Damn Qi Jingyuan, you are so cruel to me, so don’t blame me for being merciless!
Hai Tian was trembling all over at this moment. The more she thought about the fact that she would be living alone in the Prince's Mansion from now on, the more hatred she felt in her heart!
His hands had already been clenched into fists out of hatred. He gritted his teeth and stood up, dragging his wounds all over his body to a side door of the abandoned palace that was not guarded by guards. He pulled a firework from his sleeve, flicked the lighter and lit it. The faint smoke instantly rushed into the dark sky...
