The next morning, Yun Qingran was awakened by the noise outside. When she opened her eyes, it was already daylight, and the bright sunlight shone on the tent, making it glow.
Jun Molin was not there; she didn't know where he had gone. Yun Qingran got up, put on her shoes, and sneaked out of the tent when no one was looking.
After coming out, he looked around and it seemed that no one had noticed him coming out of Jun Molin's tent.
yeah!
Yun Qingran first went to the stream to wash up. After washing up, she returned to the camp and happened to meet Jun Molin and several adjutants.
"Greetings, Princess Rongchang." Several officers bowed to Yun Qingran upon seeing her.
Yun Qingran is now not only the legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Zhen'an's mansion, but also the Princess of Rongchang, a second-rank official. Although she has no real power, she is indeed a person of high rank.
"Hello everyone." Yun Qingran curtsied in return.
"Yun Qingran," Jun Molin called her name.
"Huh?" Yun Qingran looked at him.
"It's fortunate that you discovered the assassin beforehand last night and informed me, allowing everyone to set up defenses in time. What do you want?" Jun Molin asked.
A reward!
Yun Qingran's eyes instantly turned into two small gold ingots; she was the epitome of a money-grubber.
The officers couldn't help but chuckle. This Princess Rongchang was stunningly beautiful, but they never expected her to have such a lovely personality.
"Can I get cash instead?" Yun Qingran asked, biting her red lips and offering a smile.
I've heard that the rewards are marked with the national treasury and cannot be bought or sold at will. What's the use of having them? Small change is more practical.
“Alright, then I’ll give you a thousand taels of silver.” Jun Molin knew her little scheme.
"Thank you, Your Highness, King of Beihan." Yun Qingran was overjoyed to receive a thousand taels of silver.
Just then, Chunhua arrived, bowed to Junmo, and respectfully said, "Your Highness, the Prince of Beihan, our princess invites you."
"Mm." Jun Molin nodded.
Several adjutant generals immediately wore teasing smiles. Princess Zhaohua must have taken a liking to His Highness because she was looking for him.
"Yun Qingran, come with me." Jun Molin glanced at Yun Qingran, who was immersed in the joy of having little money, and said.
"Oh." Yun Qingran nodded reluctantly. Honestly, she hadn't even had breakfast yet.
Skipping breakfast is bad for your stomach.
Jun Mo walked ahead, followed by Yun Qingran. After they left, the officers immediately began a heated discussion.
"Princess Zhaohua invited His Highness the Prince of Beihan over so early in the morning. Is she interested in His Highness the Prince of Beihan?"
"His Highness the Northern Cold King is so handsome, isn't it normal for Princess Zhaohua to be interested in him?"
“But Princess Zhaohua is the Crown Princess of Western Yan and will inherit the throne of Western Yan in the future. His Highness Prince Beihan, as the God of War of Northern Yin, cannot go to Western Yan to become the Emperor’s consort.”
"If Princess Zhaohua truly loves His Highness the Prince of Beihan, she will have no choice but to give up her status as Crown Princess and marry into Beiyin."
“You only noticed Princess Zhaohua, but not Princess Rongchang? Let me tell you, I just saw her come out of His Highness’s tent.”
Really?
"Of course it's true. Would I risk my life to spread rumors about His Highness?"
"I never expected His Highness and Princess Rongchang to be so wild!"
"Didn't you see it just now? There seems to be a hickey under Princess Rongchang's turned-up collar."
“I saw it too, but her clothes were standing up, so I couldn’t see it clearly. I thought it was a mosquito bite.”
"Your Highness and Princess Rongchang are definitely having an affair."
...
Jun Molin and Yun Qingran arrived at Yan Shuangshuang's tent, and Yun Qingran stared at Yan Shuangshuang in a daze.
Up close, Yan Shuangshuang's beauty is even more striking—bright, elegant, and with a noble air. She's the most beautiful girl I've ever seen, and I really want to get close to this beautiful lady.
???( ˙?˙ )???
"Cough cough..." Jun Molin coughed, then nudged her casually with his arm.
Yun Qingran realized what was happening and quickly looked away.
Yan Shuangshuang also saw Yun Qingran, with her delicate nose, starry eyes, petal-like red lips, and exquisitely beautiful face, as if every stroke of her face was carefully drawn by God.
She was like a delicate and beautiful flower, breathtakingly beautiful, but not just an empty shell of beauty. Her eyes were lively and mischievous, cute and innocent, making her instantly likable.
"This is Princess Zhaohua of Western Yan," Jun Molin introduced to Yun Qingran.
"Greetings, Princess Zhaohua." Yun Qingran curtsied to Princess Zhaohua.
Yan Shuangshuang lowered her slightly raised chin and nodded to Yun Qingran.
“Princess Zhaohua, this is Princess Rongchang, the legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Zhen’an of Beiyin,” Jun Molin introduced to Yan Shuangshuang.
"Greetings, Princess Rongchang." Yan Shuangshuang nodded to Yun Qingran again.
The two girls looked at me with friendly and appreciative eyes.
Seeing the increasingly ambiguous gazes between the two, Jun Molin stepped forward, standing between them, and then asked Yan Shuangshuang, "Princess Zhaohua invited me here, may I ask what brings you here?"
"Your Highness, the King of Beihan, know about what happened last night, right?" Yan Shuangshuang asked directly without any hesitation or embarrassment.
She's the Crown Princess; sleeping with a man is nothing to be surprised about. Even though it was her first time sleeping with a man.
"I know." Jun Molin nodded.
Yan Shuangshuang wanted to continue, but she glanced at Yun Qingran. She didn't know if this matter should be known to Princess Rongchang.
“Princess Zhaohua, please speak freely,” Jun Molin said.
"Sit down and let's talk," Yan Shuangshuang said, inviting the two to sit down. After they sat down, Qiuju served them pastries and tea.
Because she didn't know Yun Qingran would be coming, she only prepared two plates of pastries. Looking at the two plates of pastries, Yun Qingran said she was very hungry, but she was too embarrassed to take them.
Jun Molin seemed to hear her thoughts, moved the pastries in front of him to her, and then continued talking to Yan Shuangshuang.
"Does Princess Zhaohua have any thoughts on this matter?"
Seeing the two talking, Yun Qingran picked up a piece of pastry and happily ate it.
"I believe this medicine is aimed at His Highness the Northern Cold King and me," Yan Shuangshuang replied.
"That's what I suspected too." Jun Molin paused and said, "Since neither Prime Minister Luo nor Prince Ye reacted, it means that only our jar of wine was drugged, and the purpose was to get the two of us together."
"If that's the case, then this princess knows who did it." Two cold glints flashed in Yan Shuangshuang's eyes.
It's that bastard Yan Jing. Because the Emperor dotes on me, Yan Jing doesn't dare kill me, so he gave me and the Prince of Beihan this dirty drug. If I have a relationship with the Prince of Beihan, I'll likely have to marry into Beiyin and become the Princess of Beihan. Then the throne of Western Yan will belong to that bastard.
Jun Molin had long understood the connection, but this was a family matter of Xiyan, and he didn't want to get involved.
"Your Highness, the Northern Cold King, I wish to cooperate with you on something," Yan Shuangshuang said, her eyes fixed intently on Jun Molin.
