Hearing this, Xia Tong felt a little annoyed. She didn't expect that Gu Qin was not at home at that time.
"Then when the prince comes back, you will notify me as soon as possible."
After saying that, she could only walk back, leaving the butler standing there with a puzzled look on his face. It was rare to see the princess so anxious, but what was the urgent matter?
After waiting for a whole night, Gu Qin still didn't come back, and he didn't return home until noon of the next day. Xia Tong was extremely anxious. She only had three days, and felt that she could not wait any longer, so she prepared to go to the Shenjiying outside the city to look for him.
There was heavy snow outside, the snow on the ground was quite deep, the carriage was moving extremely slowly and with difficulty, and there were very few pedestrians on the street. Xia Tong was still thinking about how to talk to Gu Qin when the carriage suddenly stopped and her whole body jerked forward.
"What's the matter?" she asked outside.
As soon as the words fell, Fang Yu's voice sounded outside, "Master, it's Miss Shen."
Xia Tong paused and lifted the curtain of the carriage. She saw a woman with bright eyes and white teeth standing on the snowy street. Her lavender fox fur coat was covered with snow. She was indeed blocking the way of the carriage, and no one knew what she was doing.
"Sister Chen." Xia Tong pursed her lips and said to the people outside: "Come in and talk."
The woman outside did not hesitate. She lifted her skirt and stepped into the carriage easily. She felt cold all over and it was unknown how long she had been outside.
"When I saw your carriage, I couldn't help but come out to take a look. Where are you going in such a cold day?" Chen Xin looked at her curiously.
There were some things Xia Tong didn't want too many people to know, so she just smiled faintly and said, "I'm going out of town to do something."
Seeing that she didn't want to say more, Shen Xin didn't continue to ask, but just talked about another thing, "Actually, I just want to tell you one thing. There will be a big change in the palace in five days. No matter what happens then, you just need to protect yourself. If you encounter danger, you can go to Jinhui Restaurant to find me."
Shen Xin's expression was solemn. She didn't believe the traitor. Xia Tong would definitely be in danger by then, so the traitor wouldn't be distracted to care about others.
Seeing that she didn't seem to be joking, Xia Tong was also surprised. Someone couldn't help it so soon, but didn't something big happen at the border?
After a moment of silence, she suddenly looked at the other person steadily, with a serious look on her face, "Excuse me, but what is Sister Shen's attitude towards the Fifth Prince now? Do you really want to get involved in this storm?"
She still didn't believe that the heroine was really with the second male lead. No matter how she looked at it, the crown prince had a better chance of winning than the fifth prince, not to mention that the villain also wanted to get involved.
"He and I are just ordinary friends, not what you think." Shen Xin's expression was unclear.
Not knowing whether the other party was telling the truth, Xia Tong did not ask any more questions. She just talked to the other party about other things. After Chen Xin got off, the carriage headed back out of the city.
According to the heroine, there will be a big move in the palace in five days, but no one knows which prince can't help it. The old fox asking her to steal the villain's seal must be related to this matter.
Xia Tong suddenly felt very depressed. She had never thought of getting involved in these disputes, but if the villain really took that position in the future, would he also have three thousand beauties in his harem? Would she really become a resentful woman in the deep palace?
After traveling for a full hour, the carriage finally arrived at a bamboo forest in the western suburbs of the city. Thick snow pressed down on the bamboo leaves, making them sway. Outside a sentry post stood a row of straight-limbed soldiers, scanning the surroundings with sharp eyes. Even though their armor was covered with snow, they did not shake it off at all.
When they saw a suspicious carriage approaching, the group immediately waved their spears to stop the carriage, with solemn expressions, "Who are you? The Shenjiying's important place is not open to outsiders!"
Xia Tong handed her belt to Fang Yu, who immediately showed it to several soldiers and explained, "The princess is here to see the prince. I hope you can pass the message on."
After taking a look at the belt, several soldiers looked at each other, not knowing how to answer. They had heard that the prince had just married a beautiful princess, but even the princes and royal relatives were not allowed to enter the Shenji Camp at will, so they did not dare to let them pass easily and could only send one person to report.
Xia Tong leaned back in the carriage and looked idly at the snow scene outside. She knew that as a woman she could not easily come to the military camp, but there were reasons for it and there was nothing she could do about it.
She didn't know how long she waited until she heard footsteps outside. She then opened the curtain again and saw a familiar figure walking towards her not far away. Several soldiers were talking to him respectfully.
Xifeng saw Xia Tong in the carriage at a glance and frowned, wondering why the princess came here. He had not heard of any emergency in the mansion.
"Your subordinate greets the princess. Why are you here in such a weather?" He said as he asked his subordinates to let him pass.
The carriage continued to move forward. Xia Tong just glanced at the people outside and said calmly, "I have something important to discuss with the prince."
After just a quick glance, the soldiers behind were extremely envious. This princess is truly as beautiful as a fairy. No wonder even the prince dotes on her so much.
Following the carriage slowly, Xifeng became curious after hearing what was said. The Xia family was fine, so what important matter could the princess have?
As the carriage went deeper, an empty training ground suddenly came into view. Despite the extremely cold weather, a group of soldiers were training there shirtless. The noise was deafening, as if they couldn't feel the cold at all.
"The prince is there. It's windy outside. Why don't you go to the tent and wait?"
Following Xifeng's sight, Xia Tong indeed saw a tall figure in the distance at an archery range. He was talking to someone, ignoring the falling snow around him. This man seemed to never be afraid of the cold.
This was the first time a woman appeared in the Shenji Camp, and she was an extremely beautiful woman. A group of grown men all looked at her sideways, but when they saw the displeased look of Lord Xifeng, they obediently withdrew their gazes.
A bunch of little bastards, if they were caught by the prince, he would definitely dig out their eyes.
As they approached, the man's outline became clearer. Xia Tong gestured to Xifeng to keep quiet, and she slowed down her pace and walked behind the man. She stood on tiptoe and slowly reached out to cover his eyes, and said in a rough voice, "Guess who I am."
The general who was talking to Gu Qin was also looking at the woman in a daze. It was obvious that the woman was brought by Xifeng, so he didn't say anything.
The man's eyes flashed, and without turning around, he directly pulled the person close to his side with his big hands. His eyes met her clear eyes with burning eyes. Seeing that it was indeed her, his voice became cold, "You are so bold."
The woman's red fox fur coat was covered with drifting snow, and even her eyelashes were stained with a trembling snowflake. Her delicate and pretty face was slightly red. Gu Qin frowned. The doctor said that if she didn't take good care of herself, she might become infertile. This woman actually dared to walk around everywhere. She was really lawless.
With a light cough, Xifeng glanced at the general, who also retreated tactfully.
"I...I have something very important to discuss with you." Xia Tong blinked innocently.
After he finished speaking, Gu Qin's eyebrows moved slightly, and his burning eyes suddenly fell on her flat belly, "Are you pregnant?"
Xia Tong: “…”
"No...no, it wouldn't be so fast." Xia Tong blushed and lowered her head, not daring to look at her.
Holding that cold little hand, Gu Qin's eyes were full of displeasure, "Really?"
As he spoke, he walked towards the tent, his angular features full of sternness, and he was obviously very unhappy. Xia Tong had no choice but to quickly lift up her skirt and chase after him, not understanding how she had angered him again.
The soldiers on the training ground were still training hard. Xia Tong took a sneak peek. It was the first time she saw so many shirtless men. They looked in great shape.
As if he had discovered something, Gu Qin suddenly glanced at the absent-minded woman behind him. His expression suddenly changed. He grabbed the woman's collar and said coldly, "Is this something you can see?"
Xia Tong held her breath and didn't dare to say a word. She just took a sneak peek. That didn't count as being unfaithful to her husband, right?
"Have everyone put on their clothes."
After leaving behind these words, the man strode away with a cold face, leaving the generals around him looking at each other in bewilderment. It was obvious that the prince was in a bad mood, and they were so scared that they quickly ordered everyone to put on their clothes. They just didn't understand why the Shenji Camp had always been trained like this.
Following him to a tent, it was still very cold inside. Xia Tong didn't know why he was angry again, so she went over to him, grabbed his arm, and shook it gently. "I really just took a glance just now, I definitely didn't look at him for long, and... they are not as good-looking as you."
As she spoke, she lowered her head unconsciously. It was undeniable that the villain had a really good figure.
The man sat at the desk, flipping through the documents without even looking at her.
Xia Tong pouted, took off her fox fur coat that was covered with snow, and then squeezed into his arms and sat down. She put her hands around his waist, raised her head and blinked innocently, "I really have something urgent to do, otherwise why would I come here in such a heavy snowstorm?"
Perhaps because she had been outside for too long, the woman had a hint of coldness about her. Gu Qin frowned slightly, pursed his lips tightly, and just stared at her without saying a word.
"My mother was captured by the Grand Tutor. That old fox threatened me to steal the seal from the prince, otherwise he would kill my mother. He only gave me three days. I had no choice but to come to you." If she had not had to, she would not have been willing to go out in such a snowy weather.
But the man's expression remained unchanged after hearing this. His big hand gradually wrapped around the cold little hand, kneading it gently, and said in an unclear tone, "You only think of me when something happens."
When their eyes met, Xia Tong suddenly blushed with guilt, and said softly, "Does the prince want me to betray you again?"
After he finished speaking, the man suddenly looked at her quietly, "You also know how to say this word again."
Xia Tong's ears turned red, and she suddenly felt ashamed. Everyone has made mistakes. Only those who know their mistakes and can correct them are good children, so she has absolutely confessed and given her a lenient treatment.
"I am in a bad mood right now and can't think of anything else."
He looked at the memorial unmoved, his expression reserved and serious, and an aura of coldness that kept strangers away emanated from his body within three meters.
Xia Tong curled her lips. He didn't say that before in bed.
Asking for help, Xia Tong could only take a deep breath, pull the other person's sleeve and shake it desperately, with helplessness on her fair face, "Then what should I do to make the prince feel good?"
After he finished speaking, the man's eyes darkened, and he put his big hands around the slender waist, looking into the pair of clear and aggrieved eyes: "Give me a child."
