Chapter 312: Cross-dressing
When the prince heard this, his face was instantly filled with astonishment. He wanted to turn around and ask Fan Jingrui, "Why is your wife so perverted?"
But when he turned around, he suddenly realized that Fan Jingrui had been left outside to deal with the bandits.
At this moment, he couldn't help but look embarrassed and coughed fakely to try to cover up his embarrassment.
Just when he was about to say to Chu Ci, "Now that the crisis has been resolved, can you give these people the medicine?"
Lieutenant General Luo's reaction was exactly the opposite.
At this moment, he didn't even care about the hierarchy. His face flushed red, his eyes sparkled, and he stared at Chu Ci excitedly, and couldn't wait to ask: "My Lady Princess, can you provide some of this medicine to our Zhenbei Army?"
Chu Ci thought for a moment, then understood, and asked with a clear gaze, "Does Lieutenant General Luo want to use it for interrogation?"
Lieutenant General Luo hadn't expected Chu Ci to understand his plan. A surge of joy welled up in his heart, and his impression of Chu Ci grew even better. "Well, before I set out, I captured quite a few spies. If I had this good medicine to help me, I'd definitely be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort."
Upon hearing this, Chu Ci simply glanced at the prince not far away and said solemnly, "Yes, but this matter is of great importance. I need to discuss it with the prince before I can proceed."
The Crown Prince hadn't expected that Vice General Luo's first reaction upon seeing him wasn't fear, and a rare feeling of shame rose within him. So, when Chu Ci said he wanted to discuss things with him, he was taken aback for a moment, a flicker of hesitation in his eyes, and then he said without hesitation, "I agree."
"Ah, so simple?" Lieutenant General Luo couldn't help but widen his eyes, his face full of disbelief, his mouth slightly open, and his breathing became a little faster.
He had originally thought that such an important matter would take another month or two to resolve, just like before. After all, similar situations in the past always involved many tedious procedures and long waits, which always made people anxious.
Deputy General Luo even had a strong urge to ask if they had been teased in the past.
This is because in the past, dealing with such important matters has always been full of obstacles and slow progress, just like struggling forward through thorns.
However, when they thought about the fact that the prince could not be stationed in Zhenbei Army all the time, and their Zhenbei Army had to rely on the officials in the capital for supplies and logistics!
If you act impulsively at this moment, you might get into big trouble.
In the end, he had no choice but to suppress his inner confusion and swallow these questions back into his stomach.
So, Deputy General Luo could only suppress his inner excitement, his voice trembling slightly, and asked anxiously: "Then can I try my hand with these people?"
"Of course." Chu Ci said with a faint smile on his face. He made an elegant gesture of invitation with a calm attitude. After all, if the free labor is delivered to your door, why not use it?
Thus, everyone including the prince witnessed the simplest interrogation in history.
Lieutenant General Luo asked a question, and the people below answered twice, sometimes even rushing to answer, as if they were afraid that Chu Ci would feed them medicine again. The situation went unexpectedly smoothly.
Even the prince couldn't help but be moved by this scene.
His eyes were fixed on Chu Ci, full of eagerness. "Princess Yixin, why don't we find another place to talk?"
I thought Chu Ci would agree readily, and I was looking forward to her agreeing readily.
Unexpectedly, Chu Ci frowned slightly and said without hesitation: "Your Highness may not be aware that in our family, men have always been responsible for external affairs and women for internal affairs. A request like yours clearly falls under the category of external affairs."
After all, she knows her own situation best. Although she is usually eloquent and quick-witted, that is only in minor occasions.
But if she really had to go up against those powerful bosses, she knew that she would only be oppressed.
So let Fan Jingrui worry about this kind of thing which is both laborious and of no benefit!
The prince had no idea that Chu Ci was running away, and he was speechless at the moment.
I have only heard of telling lies with open eyes in the past, but today I have witnessed it for myself.
Unfortunately, he couldn't do anything to Chu Ci, so he could only purse his lips, take a deep breath, and slowly speak after calming down: "Okay, I will talk to Master Fan."
Chu Ci secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. "The Crown Prince is wise. Then can he leave now? After all..."
As Chu Ci spoke, he raised his hand and pointed to a few puddles of mud lying on the ground.
When the prince heard this, a gloomy look flashed across his eyes.
He gritted his teeth and thought to himself, I never expected that there would be people in the court colluding with the traitors of the previous dynasty, trying to make me die on the way to the northern border. They are despicable!
The prince's mood was as gloomy as water, but he was rational enough and quickly calmed down.
His eyes flickered, and he said in a deep voice, "Starting tomorrow, everyone will abandon the Crown Prince's carriage and change into other belongings. As for these people, they can be handed over to the local authorities for disposal."
"Now, pass on my orders! Half of the people must be on high alert and not slack off even a little bit. The other half must rest immediately and recharge their batteries! Tomorrow morning, we must set out immediately and without delay!"
There was no other reason. The prince knew very well that the more frantic and fierce the obstruction of those people in secret was, the more critical the situation of the Zhenbei Army was and the less optimistic it was.
So, the next day, the sky was breaking with light.
After sending the thieves from the black shop to the local government, the prince and his group had a careful discussion.
In the end, Chu Ci transformed herself into a willful woman who returned to her parents' home during her pregnancy because of a quarrel with her husband.
She was wearing a loose dress, her belly was slightly bulging, and her face was specially made up, looking a little haggard and angry.
The prince and Fan Jingrui changed into outfits that were completely different from their usual ones.
The prince had an upright figure and an even greater aura, so he became the captain of the Chuci guard.
Fan Jingrui made a bigger sacrifice. At the instigation of his two younger sisters, he simply changed into women's clothing and became Chu Ci's personal maid. Well, you know what, he actually looked quite cute.
Chu Ci couldn't help but reach out and gently touch Fan Jingrui's face several times, praising him: "Tsk tsk tsk tsk, your skin is even more delicate than mine. It's really enviable."
Qianyan and Qianxue tried hard to hold back their laughter, but their bodies couldn't help but tremble slightly, but they couldn't help but wrap themselves up. Qianyan said first: "Madam, punish him to give you a massage."
Qianxue also quickly agreed: "Yes, when your skin returns to its former smoothness, then ask him to stop."
The expressions and gestures of the two at this moment were exactly like those of the bad girls who were deliberately trying to sow discord in front of the lady.
Even the captain of the prince's guard was riding a horse and watching the show with great interest.
However, Fan Jingrui looked very happy to do it, as if being able to serve Chu Ci was an extremely happy thing, without any reluctance at all.
