The 800-mile urgent letter was delivered to Chu Feiyang in less than two days. The font inside the letter was the imperial handwriting of Emperor Yu Gan, which not only agreed that the King of Chu and the Princess of Chu would go to Nanxun, but also agreed that General Hu Wei would go with them!
At this point, Nanxun and his party had made their decision. No matter what method Lu Xin came up with, he would not dare to disobey the order!
Since they were going to Nanxun, Yun Qianmeng naturally could not lose face with the Princess of Western Chu, so she took all four maids with her, but Nie Huaiyuan stayed at the Youzhou Posthouse. Firstly, to prevent someone from poisoning him, and secondly, Xia Ji also needed someone to take care of him. Otherwise, if something happened to Xia Ji, Lu Xin would probably take the opportunity to make trouble!
However, the night before leaving, Nie Huaiyuan came to Nanyuan!
"Has Xia Ji's injury improved?" After the maids served tea, Chu Feiyang was the first to ask!
Listening to Chu Feiyang's question, Nie Huaiyuan shook his head. He silently took out a white handkerchief from his sleeve and opened it, allowing Chu Feiyang and Yun Qianmeng to clearly see the herbs wrapped inside. Then he slowly spoke, "The last time I went to the Chu Mansion, I took some of the medicine residue that Lord Chu usually took when the doctor wasn't paying attention. I didn't expect to find this medicine in it! And this medicine doesn't appear in the prescription!"
As he said that, Nie Huaiyuan handed the Juanpa to Chu Feiyang, asking him and Yun Qianmeng to study it carefully!
Chu Feiyang and Yun Qianmeng looked at each other and immediately understood that since Nie Huaiyuan came to point out the matter in person and was so cautious, they were afraid that the people in the Chu Mansion were not clean!
Chu Feiyang picked up a dry herb with two fingers. He saw that the herb was similar to an ear of grain but much smaller in size. Although its shape was ordinary, its color was light pink, which was really weird!
Yun Qianmeng also picked out a herb and examined it carefully. Then she brought the herb close to her nose and sniffed it. A strong sense of dizziness immediately filled her brain, causing her body to sway slightly. She immediately put the herb away and immediately grasped the armrest of the armchair to steady herself. A look of understanding appeared in her eyes and she looked at Nie Huaiyuan, "Is this MI medicine?"
Seeing Yun Qianmeng almost fall, Chu Feiyang quickly snatched the herb from her hand, rewrapped it with a handkerchief, and placed it on the table. A cold glint flashed in his eyes as he spoke his conclusion, "Did someone put this herb in Chu Pei's medicine, causing him to fall into a coma?"
Before they met, the two had already guessed the effect of the medicine from the properties of the herb. Nie Huaiyuan nodded cautiously and then said, "This is indeed MI medicine. The medicinal properties are very strong! Just a little bit can make people unconscious. This medicine is colorless and odorless. Even the imperial physician in the palace would not be able to detect it without a long period of observation! What's more, I have never seen such MI medicine in Xichu!"
This last sentence is the most crucial. It does not exist in Xi Chu, but appears in the Chu Mansion in Youzhou. The biggest possibility is that it came from Nanxun and was used on Chu Pei!
"So according to you, the reason why my father is unconscious is because of this medicine, and has nothing to do with the poison in his body?" Although Yun Qianmeng looked calm, she was shocked in her heart. She had just smelled the herb, and it was indeed odorless. Just taking a breath made her head feel dizzy. She was afraid that this herb was really extremely overbearing. No wonder Nie Huaiyuan waited so many days to find the root cause before coming to see her and Chu Feiyang!
Nie Huaiyuan couldn't give a correct answer to Yun Qianmeng's question. He frowned, as if he was considering how to answer to give Chu Feiyang and Yun Qianmeng the correct information. After a while, he slowly said, "Master Chu is suffering from a severe poison. According to my deduction, I'm afraid someone is worried that the doctor will cure Master Chu's poison, so they added this medicine as a precaution!"
Nie Huaiyuan's answer made Chu Feiyang smile faintly. The cold light in his eyes gradually turned colder, and he spoke slowly with a hint of sharpness, "Isn't this even more interesting? I'm afraid that many unexpected things will happen on our journey to Nanxun!"
Hearing Chu Feiyang say this, Yun Qianmeng turned her head slightly to look at him, knowing that Chu Feiyang might be a little unhappy. Although there was no father-son relationship between him and Chu Pei, their father-son relationship was known to the world. And now someone was tampering with Chu Pei's medicine. How could Chu Feiyang pretend that nothing happened?
"Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness, the Kingdom of Nanxun is isolated from the outside world. Even experienced doctors can be easily ambushed when they encounter unfamiliar herbs. I have prepared enough mint leaves and detoxifying pills sealed in purses. I cannot go with you this time. Please be careful, Your Highness and Your Highness!" At this time, Nie Huaiyuan stood up and took out two seemingly ordinary but hidden purses from his sleeves and handed them to Chu Feiyang and Yun Qianmeng as a reminder to them!
Yun Qianmeng took one of the purses and couldn't help but put it to her nose to take a closer sniff. The refreshing mint scent immediately penetrated her heart and spleen, making her feel refreshed. She immediately thanked her, "Thank you! I'm sorry for your trouble!"
"Your Highness, you are too kind! This is just a piece of cake for me! If there is nothing else, I will take my leave first!" Since he told Yun Qianmeng and Chu Feiyang what he had discovered, with their intelligence, they would surely formulate a strategy, and these were not within Nie Huaiyuan's jurisdiction, so he finished his greetings and was about to leave!
"Doctor Nie, please wait a moment!" Little did he know that Yun Qianmeng had other things to entrust to him!
Yun Qianmeng asked Mu Chun to fetch a book. She opened it, took out a stack of rice paper tucked between the pages, and handed it to Nie Huaiyuan with a faint smile. "I know you're dedicated to treating the common people, but the prince and I are about to leave, and the day of our return is uncertain. Therefore, I'll leave the opening of this clinic entirely to you and Master Rong! Written inside are prescriptions tailored to the appearance of each family's female relatives. I'm sure they'll come in handy!"
Nie Huaiyuan opened the rice paper in his hand and read the first page carefully. It must be said that Princess Chu was very careful and quick in her work. Two days ago, the prince had just handed her a booklet, and she had already sorted out the situation of everyone and written down the corresponding countermeasures. It was really admirable!
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, Your Majesty. I will do my best!" Nie Huaiyuan was surprised by the peculiar method of the recipe, but he had no doubt about Yun Qianmeng's ability. He immediately agreed to Yun Qianmeng's request and then left Nanyuan!
Seeing Nie Huaiyuan leave, Yun Qianmeng stood up, stretched her body slightly after sitting for a long time, and put the handkerchief on the table and the herbs into her sleeves!
"Meng'er, you..." Chu Feiyang looked at Yun Qianmeng's actions, his eyebrows slightly raised, and a hint of disapproval immediately appeared in his eyes!
But Yun Qianmeng stuck out her tongue playfully and said, "Just in case!"
On the other side, Lu Xin frowned when he received the letter from Kyoto. A hint of viciousness flashed in his hawk-like eyes, but the imperial decree had already been issued, and even if he was extremely bold, he dared not disobey it!
However, this trip to Nanxun made him feel a little nervous. He was not on good terms with Nanxun and also had many conflicts with Chu Feiyang. There was no guarantee that Chu Feiyang would not retaliate against him for his own selfish reasons!
If I leave, I'm afraid Youzhou will fall into the hands of Han Shaomian. In addition, Xiahou Qin is still living in the Youzhou Posthouse. If these two people join forces, I'm afraid they will go straight back to Beijing to confess their crimes when I come back!
For a moment, all the current situation analyses emerged in Lu Xin's mind, but none of them was in his favor!
"General, when you go to Nanxun this time, I'm afraid that the Nanxun Kingdom and the King of Chu will deliberately make things difficult for you!" The deputy general who has been with Lu Xin for many years is also worried. Once Lu Xin falls, their good days will be over!
Chu Feiyang appears to be gentle and refined with the air of a scholar, but in reality he is a ruthless person. He always schemes against those who are his enemies!
Even a shrewd man like Prince Chen was schemed by Chu Feiyang in the matter of Princess Chu and ran all over Kyoto within a day. This is enough to show that Chu Feiyang is more sinister and cunning than anyone else!
The general has been against Chu Feiyang time and again. I'm afraid that this time when they go to Nanxun together, Chu Feiyang will take the opportunity to take revenge on the general!
As for Nanxun, this account probably dates back to more than ten years ago. Although Nanxun won that year, the feud between the two sides had already been formed. Moreover, the one who led Nanxun's troops to the battle was the current Regent of Nanxun. This time the general went to Nanxun with a guilty conscience, and I am afraid that the Regent will definitely wait for an opportunity to take revenge!
No matter how you analyze it, the general's trip south this time is likely to be filled with worries due to its bumpy road ahead!
Lu Xin looked at his deputy general. He knew his deputy's worries very well, but he was in a difficult situation and could only move forward!
"Count the number of troops in Youzhou City at this moment, and withdraw half of them to accompany us!" Just as Chu Feiyang had calculated before, Lu Xin really withdrew half of his troops!
"General, this..." Little did he know that his decision made the adjutant's heart tremble. To withdraw half of the troops would mean tens of thousands of people. Does the general really want to protect the King of Chu and others?
"It's okay, just do as this general says!" But Lu Xin also had his own plans!
Leaving tens of thousands of people behind to monitor Youzhou City was naturally to prevent Han Shaomian and Xiahou Qin from taking the opportunity to cause chaos, and also to intimidate them so that he would not immediately lose his backing when he went to Nanxun. It also made Chu Feiyang understand that Chu Pei and others were still in his hands, allowing Chu Feiyang to see the current situation clearly before taking action!
Taking away tens of thousands of people was done, on the one hand, to let Chu Feiyang know how much he valued him; on the other hand, Western Chu had dispatched so many troops to Nanxun, and Chu Feiyang was the ambassador to Nanxun. When Emperor Feng Jing saw this, he would definitely think that Chu Feiyang was insincere. If the negotiations between the two sides broke down, the situation between him and Chu Feiyang would be reversed. I'm afraid that even the old King of Chu in Kyoto would not be able to offend Chu Feiyang!
"However, this time you stay to monitor Han Shaomian and Xiahou Qin, and don't let these two people make trouble! Especially Xiahou Qin, this man actually brought a thousand elite soldiers of the Xiahou clan into the city. After we leave Youzhou, we will find a chance to quiet him down! Even if there is no opportunity, we will create one! This man is the prince of the Xiahou clan, and he has a marriage relationship with the Chu family. Luocheng and Youzhou are not far apart, so we must not let him return to Luocheng to ask for reinforcements!" Lu Xin thought about it and gave the order again!
"Don't worry, General. I will definitely see to it!" The adjutant agreed with a serious expression, then turned around and walked out of the posthouse to count the soldiers who were left in Youzhou City!
At the hour of Yin on the second day, Yun Qianmeng and Chu Feiyang arranged everything, boarded the carriage, and headed south for Xun under the escort of 30,000 soldiers!
"The terrain of this trade route is somewhat similar to that of the route to Jiangzhou! However, the valleys on both sides are even steeper and higher. If you fall from the top, you will probably be smashed to pieces!" Yun Qianmeng raised his hand and slightly lifted the curtain of the car. His sharp eyes scanned the scenery along the way, and he carefully memorized the terrain of Nanxun!
"Nanchang has a pleasant climate year-round, perfect for the growth of flowers and plants! Therefore, even the steep cliffs are covered with trees, providing them with hiding places during battles. Finding them among so many dense branches is truly a difficult task. This was also the biggest reason for Lu Xin's defeat back then!" Chu Feiyang poured a bowl of iced sour plum soup into Yun Qianmeng's hands, lowered the corner of the car curtain, and continued Yun Qianmeng's words, "Besides, the people of Nanxun are petite and small in size, so hiding in the grass and branches is a piece of cake! In addition, their darker skin color makes this method of combat even more conducive!"
Hearing this, Yun Qianmeng nodded. "Besides, bamboo arrows have a long range and are very easy to use, much more convenient than our bows and arrows. Even if they hide in the woods, they can operate them with ease! I just don't know if Zuo Feng and Mei Ye can make a musket. If they can succeed, even in such a harsh geographical environment, we have a great chance of victory!"
Seeing Yun Qianmeng's eyes light up when she mentioned the musket, Chu Feiyang smiled softly and personally fed her a sip of sour plum soup before speaking, "They both love developing weapons. Perhaps we'll hear good news when we return! However, no one in the world has ever seen this musket, so I'm afraid by then we'll have to..."
"Fei Yang, I've thought about this a long time ago. You have countless secret guards at your disposal. Why don't we pick out the most agile ones to learn how to use muskets?" When talking about this question, Yun Qianmeng suddenly became tender and affectionate. She nestled into Chu Feiyang's arms obediently, staring at Chu Feiyang with her clear eyes that concealed cunning tricks, without blinking, as if trying to please him!
Chu Feiyang knew countless people. If he didn't see through Yun Qianmeng's little trick, it was because he couldn't bear to see the disappointment in her eyes. However, facing this issue, Chu Feiyang had his own stance. He put his arm around Yun Qianmeng's waist, but his tone remained unchanged, "I will let Xi Lin learn and teach others!"
Seeing that Chu Feiyang refused to budge, Yun Qianmeng frowned and sat up straight. The stubbornness and determination in her eyes were obvious, and she was also unwilling to give in. "Then I can only train the secret guards in the Yu family pawnshop!"
This time, it was Chu Feiyang's turn to frown. Seeing Yun Qianmeng turn around and stop looking at him after she finished speaking, Chu Feiyang could only soften his tone and earnestly persuade her, "Be good, listen! Even if Mei Ye and Zuo Feng make a musket, how can they know it will be the same as you originally envisioned? If something goes wrong, won't it make me anxious?"
After saying that, Chu Feiyang hugged Yun Qianmeng from behind, pulling the orange-yellow body in front of him into his arms. He put his thin lips next to her fair ear and whispered, "Meng'er, be obedient!"
Is Yun Qianmeng an obedient child?
She tilted her head slightly and was about to speak when she came face to face with Chu Feiyang. Their eyes met, and Yun Qianmeng saw the deepest worry in his eyes. The persistence in her heart gradually softened, and she finally compromised, "Then wait until everything is foolproof, and let me try! Okay? I haven't held a gun in a long time, I miss them so much..."
Little did she know that Yun Qianmeng's coquettishness had accidentally let something slip. When she came to her senses, Chu Feiyang had already heard everything she said and was staring at her in his arms with a puzzled look!
A gentle hand gently caressed Yun Qianmeng's jade-like face, almost whispering, causing Chu Feiyang to speak uncertainly yet with a hint of certainty, "Are you Yun Qianmeng? Yet, you don't seem to be Yun Qianmeng!"
Being stared at by those close black eyes, and hearing Chu Feiyang's whisper, Yun Qianmeng's heart suddenly jumped. A trace of embarrassment flashed in her eyes, and she also asked in a low voice, "What if, what if I am not Yun Qianmeng but I have to be Yun Qianmeng?"
After he finished speaking, Yun Qianmeng felt like she was holding her breath, as if she was just waiting for Chu Feiyang's answer!
Believing that Chu Feiyang loved her was one thing, but Chu Feiyang was an ancient man after all. If he knew her true identity, she didn't know how he would react. This was something Yun Qianmeng couldn't be sure of!
"Puchi" Chu Feiyang laughed at this moment, and the low laugh immediately dissolved the overly solemn atmosphere in the car. But after laughing, he looked at Yun Qianmeng with a solemn expression. Her skin under his palm was delicate and smooth. This touch told Chu Feiyang that this was indeed Yun Qianmeng!
But the pair of eyes before her eyes, which were as confident and wise as any man's, did not belong to the cowardly daughter of the Yun family!
At this moment, the pair of beautiful eyes that attracted Chu Feiyang the most revealed a hint of nervousness, which made Chu Feiyang's heart ache slightly. He said without hesitation, "You are now the Princess of Chu, my Princess! And I only recognize this!"
Hearing Chu Feiyang's answer, the taut string in Yun Qianmeng's heart broke instantly. A touch of emotion flashed in her eyes, but her heart was filled with guilt. She should have told him everything earlier!
Seeing the look in Chu Feiyang's eyes that chose to believe her for no reason at all, Yun Qianmeng smiled faintly, pulled down his hands and held them tightly, then slowly said, "This body is indeed Yun Qianmeng's! But the soul living in the body is not her!"
After hearing these words, even though Chu Feiyang had already had some premonitions, he still showed a look of surprise in his eyes...
Seeing Chu Feiyang's surprised expression, Yun Qianmeng felt inexplicably relieved. She smiled, took Chu Feiyang's arm and continued, "Feiyang, do you believe in ghosts and gods in this world?"
After seeing Yun Qianmeng laughing at him, Chu Feiyang immediately put away the surprise in his eyes, but he was still shocked in his heart. He never thought that the person living in this body was not the young lady of the Yun Mansion!
However, Yun Qianmeng's abnormal behavior these days also shows that the original Miss Yun would never do anything to change the impression she had on others!
No wonder, when she first saw Yun Qianmeng in the palace, the look in her eyes had already changed drastically!
"I didn't believe it at first, but after seeing you, I believe it!" Seeing Yun Qianmeng nestled beside him obediently at this time, Chu Feiyang was in a very good mood, so he spoke in a gangster tone!
But Yun Qianmeng raised her hand and pinched his arm lightly, talking about serious matters, but he could be so happy!
"I'm not originally from this time and space. I was unfortunately shot during a mission and ended up in Yun Qianmeng's body!" Yun Qianmeng rested her delicate head lightly on Chu Feiyang's shoulder and slowly recounted her story. "The country of Western Chu is not within the scope of my knowledge. I believe time and space must have been misplaced, and I ended up here by accident. Since there's little hope of returning, I can only try my best to survive!"
Chu Feiyang had been listening to Yun Qianmeng's story calmly, but when he heard the words 'shot' and 'go back', his body stiffened noticeably. He then lowered his head to look at Yun Qianmeng, who was leaning on his shoulder, her brows slightly lowered, her eyes gentle and calm. He suddenly felt a surge of nervousness in his heart, and immediately asked, "You were shot and died, and came here? Was that gun similar to a musket?"
The little head on his shoulder nodded twice after hearing his question, and Yun Qianmeng's affirmative reply echoed in his ears, "Yes, I think there must be a spies inside, otherwise how could our flawless plan be discovered by those drug lords? And unfortunately, I was shot!"
"So, the power of the musket is really strong. In that case, you should not touch it!" Little did he know that Chu Feiyang was thinking about this matter at this time!
Hearing this, Yun Qianmeng immediately looked up, her eyes flashing with unyielding determination. She immediately retorted, "No, even if Zuo Feng and Mei Ye are proficient in weapons, firearms are different from cold weapons. If they accidentally go off, even they could die! And I'm the only one in this world who can fully understand the performance of firearms. How could I let others die? And that incident was just an accident. If it weren't for the sharp needle, how could I have been hit? I..."
But before she could finish, Yun Qianmeng was tightly embraced by Chu Feiyang. She felt his arms tightening, as if he wanted to crush her and embed her into his body. His lips, emitting hot steam, were slightly pressed against Yun Qianmeng's ear. With a hint of nervousness and unprecedented fear, he spoke softly, "Meng'er, I'm afraid. I'm afraid that you'll get hurt again and return to your original world!"
Yun Qianmeng's body shuddered slightly. She had never thought she would hear such words from the usually confident and carefree Chu Feiyang. Such an almost pleading tone made Yun Qianmeng's eyes gradually moisten. She couldn't help but stretch out her hands and tightly wrap them around Chu Feiyang's waist. She buried her head in his chest, trying hard to inhale the clean and refreshing scent on his body. After a while, she smiled and said, "Silly boy, how could I leave again? Although I don't believe in ghosts and gods, since I was sent here, I believe that there must be a destiny waiting for me! Who can say that you are not my destiny?"
"But you insisted on touching the musket!" This was the thing that made Chu Feiyang most nervous at the moment. He was very happy to think that it was the musket that sent Yun Qianmeng to his side, but if it was the opposite, it might also take Yun Qianmeng away from him. Chu Feiyang couldn't help feeling nervous!
Yun Qianmeng patted his back and soothed him, "I'm just testing their performance. I won't take them into battle! Feiyang, okay?"
As she spoke, Yun Qianmeng took the initiative to turn her face and gave Chu Feiyang a passionate kiss on the cheek, her eyes full of flattery!
Facing her like this, Chu Feiyang could only sigh inwardly, fearing that if he didn't agree, she would still secretly go to find Mei Ye and the others!
However, it seemed too easy for this girl to expect him to nod with just a kiss. With his big hands, he gently supported the back of Yun Qianmeng's head, and Chu Feiyang immediately deepened the kiss, as if he wanted to leave his mark and taste on Yun Qianmeng forever. The kiss was lingering and affectionate!
At this moment, the carriage slowly stopped because the team in front stopped moving!
After a while, Lu Xin was heard outside reporting, "Your Highness, Nanxun's Minister of Rites is here to pick us up!"
"Got it! Please trouble General Lu and the Minister of Rites to lead the way!" Upon hearing this, Chu Feiyang just spoke indifferently. The nobility in his tone was beyond reach, but it showed the unparalleled dignity of the King of Western Chu!
After confessing her life story, Yun Qianmeng finally felt relieved. Seeing that Nanxun only sent the Minister of Rites, it was obvious that the internal struggle in Nanxun was also quite fierce!
"It seems that although Emperor Feng Jing is weak, he knows the situation in the court very well! After all, the princess and the prince are young, and the regent has been in control of the government for many years. If the princess and the prince are sent this time, I am afraid it will offend the regent! And if the regent comes, I am afraid all the officials in Nanxun will think that Emperor Feng Jing is afraid of the regent! Therefore, the best way is to send other officials, which will not only be polite, but also balance the situation in the court!" Yun Qianmeng slowly analyzed, lifting the curtain of the car and looking at the Minister of Rites who was leading the team in the distance!
Chu Feiyang, however, kept his eyes on Yun Qianmeng beside him. Taking advantage of the time they still had to be alone, he held her in his arms, lowered his head and kissed her hair, then said calmly, "I'm afraid the real start will come after we enter the inn! By then, both parties will definitely send invitations. This will be much more difficult than last time! After all, we're on someone else's land, so we can't be too disrespectful!"
Yun Qianmeng smiled softly, then leaned in Chu Feiyang's arms, closed her eyes and waited for the next battle!
The carriage moved along the valley all the way, and after passing through the long valley, it entered the city at the border of Nanxun. Then it continued along the road until it arrived at the capital of Nanxun Kingdom - Nancheng in the evening!
When the carriage that Yun Qianmeng and the others were riding in slowly drove into South City, even without lifting the curtains, they could still smell a rich floral fragrance!
Nanxun is worthy of being the place where it’s spring all year round. The cultivation of flowers is more attentive than in Xichu. I’m afraid that the streets and alleys are filled with the fragrance of flowers, which may be light or strong!
"Your Highness, the guards of the Regent of Nanxun Kingdom and the princess's maid are coming here on horseback!" At this time, Xi Lin's voice sounded respectfully outside the carriage!
Yun Qianmeng's rest was interrupted for a moment. She sat up straight in Chu Feiyang's arms and heard Chu Feiyang say, "Everything will be subject to the arrangements of the Minister of Rites. Apart from the political affairs of the two countries, this king will not see anyone sent by private parties!"
"Yes, Your Highness!" Xi Lin responded and galloped forward, whispering a few words in the ear of the Minister of Rites. The team went straight to the posthouse without stopping!
Because of the 30,000 soldiers led by Lu Xin, even though the people of Nanxun were curious about the King and Queen of Western Chu, no one dared to step forward!
Therefore, when Yun Qianmeng got off the car, the outside seemed quiet despite the scorching heat, and standing before him was an elegant inn!
It turns out that the people of Nanxun really made full use of flowers. Even the outer wall of the posthouse was still covered with ivy. At a glance, I felt a cool feeling in my heart, and the summer heat disappeared instantly!
"We, the servants, greet the King of Chu, the Princess of Chu, and General Huwei!" At this time, the entrance of the inn was already filled with servants standing in a neat row. Seeing the three people finally arrive, everyone immediately saluted!
"Your Highness, Your Highness, General, please come in!" The Minister of Rites had sweat dripping from his forehead. He dismounted his horse and quickly walked to the side of the group, intending to lead them into the inn!
"Wait a minute!" Little did he know that someone just didn't want him to get what he wanted!
The guards beside the Regent quickly dismounted their horses and ran straight to Chu Feiyang, bowing and saying, "Greetings, King Chu. Our Regent invites you to the Regent's Palace for a chat!"
"This servant greets the King and Princess of Chu! Our princess asked me to ask the prince and princess to have a good rest in the inn. If there is anything missing, please let me know and I will take care of it for you!" At this time, the maid who was originally sitting on the horse also quickly walked to the front of the three people and spoke slowly. Her soft and polite voice was more favorable than that of the guard just now!
Yun Qianmeng took a closer look at the maid's appearance. Although her skin was slightly yellowish, her appearance was excellent, and her figure was exquisite and very pleasing to the eye!
And from what she said just now, it seems that she intends to stay in the inn, but the princess of Nanxun Kingdom sent such a beauty here, I am afraid that she has other intentions!
"I have just said that apart from the political affairs of the two countries, neither I nor the princess will meet anyone in private! I appreciate the kindness of the Regent and the princess, and please go back and convey my intentions!" After speaking, Chu Feiyang no longer looked at the two people blocking the way in front of him, and directly walked into the gate of the inn with Yun Qianmeng!
"Your Highness, the princess didn't mean anything else. She was just worried that it would be inconvenient for Your Highness and Princess, so she ordered me to come and serve you!" Unexpectedly, the maidservant didn't give up. She ran directly to Chu Feiyang, knelt down, and spoke in a low voice!
"Princess, are you worried that Nanxun won't treat her well enough? She's so worried about her own country, so Nanxun's future is worrying!" But the maid didn't know that except for Yun Qianmeng, Chu Feiyang was ruthless to other women. Even if she knelt and died at the door of the inn today, Chu Feiyang wouldn't even blink an eye!
However, Yun Qianmeng had no sympathy for her at all. From the princess's intention, it could be seen that the beauty trap was indeed much more advantageous than the regent's banquet. If Chu Feiyang had less self-control, this beauty would probably become a pawn planted beside the King of Chu, and it was not impossible that she would be used to collect intelligence about Western Chu in the future!
It's just a pity, what a pity, Chu Feiyang is not an ordinary person, he knows countless people, and he can even ignore Hai Tianjun, so how could he care about a maid?
If she had not been in Nanxun at this time, I am afraid this maid would have lost her life long ago!
After giving the maid a cold glance, Yun Qianmeng followed Chu Feiyang into the inn!
"Your Highness, the Emperor is also hosting a banquet in the palace tonight. Please take a rest for a while, Your Highness and Your Highness. I will come to pick you up, Your Highness, Your Highness and Your Highness, and the General to the palace during the dinner!" After the Minister of Rites finished speaking, he asked the maid in the inn to lead them to their respective rooms. He immediately walked out of the inn, mounted his horse, and galloped towards the palace!
"I didn't expect that the prince could not help himself and wanted to invite the King of Chu before the palace banquet!" Everyone dispersed, and the palace maid stood up with a sarcastic look on her face, looking at the regent guard beside her and said sneerly!
"You are no match for Her Royal Highness the Princess, who was so anxious to force someone onto the King of Chu's side, but ended up not even looking at him!" The guard retorted unwillingly!
The two of them disliked each other. If they were not in a hurry to rush back to report the news, they would probably have argued with each other!
Inside the inn, General Hu Wei looked at Chu Feiyang with a sneer, then turned and went into his own room!
"Mu Chun, move all the things into the side room. The four of you can go out on weekdays, and no one else is allowed to enter the inner room!" Yun Qianmeng immediately turned around and gave orders to the four maids!
Judging from the situation just now, the princess will definitely not give up. I'm afraid even the regent is thinking of putting people next to Chu Feiyang. The scene just now was probably a scouting by people sent by both sides, just to find out Feiyang's thoughts and attitude. The next few days will be the real clash of swords!
"Yes, Princess!" How could Mu Chun and the others not understand Yun Qianmeng's meaning? Just now at the door of the post station, everyone saw the maid's appearance, expression and speaking attitude clearly. Although they were angry, they would not allow them to be so presumptuous before the princess spoke. Now seeing the princess's order, the four maids worked hard, and reminded themselves carefully in their hearts that they must not let the arrogant maid succeed!
Just as Yun Qianmeng had analyzed, the Prince Regent's Mansion was completely silent, with no sign of the lively banquet. Meanwhile, Prince Regent Nanxun, Nan Yijun, sat in the garden's octagonal pavilion, enjoying the scenery and sipping tea. Listening to the guards' reports, a sneer flickered in Nan Yijun's sinister eyes as he muttered to himself, "Interesting! I never thought our little princess had such a scheme. No wonder she was able to evade my men. How interesting!"
"Your Highness, the King of Chu is also arrogant and complacent!" Thinking of how Chu Feiyang had rejected his own prince's invitation in public, the guard became angry!
Unexpectedly, Nan Yijun raised his right hand to stop his complaints. The teacup he was holding had already shattered into pieces. His face was ruthless, but his tone was extremely gentle. "Chu Feiyang! You are no match for him. Or rather, in this Four Kingdoms world, Chu Feiyang has few rivals. His arrogance is not due to ignorance, but rather to his strength!"
"Yes!" Seeing his master's evaluation of Chu Feiyang in this way, the guard said no more and stood quietly behind Nan Yijun without saying a word!
And in the Princess Palace of Nanxun Palace, she was also analyzing everything that happened today!
"I have failed to live up to the princess's trust. Please punish me!" The maid returned to the palace and knelt in front of her princess, asking for punishment!
Princess Nanxun, Nan Lan, who was sitting at the table, smiled knowingly and said, "Get up. I already know his character. How could he easily accept a woman given to him by others?"
"Thank you, Princess!" The maid looked up at Nan Lan and then stood up!
"Let's go and see the prince. Since he is a distinguished guest, the prince and I must not be impolite!" Nan Lan stood up and walked out of her palace with the help of the palace maid!
