Chapter 1028 He is mine
When Yimei learned that her father was seriously ill, she became extremely worried.
She wanted to fly back to her father immediately.
Unfortunately, she had no wings and could not fly, so she could only suppress her anxiety and asked quickly.
"Is General Jin on this ship?"
General Jin is the highest-ranking military commander in the Thousand Islands. He is also the elder brother of Queen Jin and Yimei's uncle. He is a well-known hero in the Thousand Islands.
Now that the Thousand Islands have sent troops to attack Dasheng, General Jin will definitely be involved.
However……
General Zheng in front of him shook his head: "General Jin is not here."
Meeting the Third Princess's surprised and puzzled look, General Zheng took the initiative to explain the reason.
"General Jin learned the news that the third princess had been murdered and the emperor was seriously ill. He was extremely worried and rode to the palace to visit the emperor in the heavy rain.
Due to the slippery road caused by rain and General Jin being too impatient, an accident occurred on the road.
The general fell off his horse, broke his leg, and was unable to go on the expedition.
The general is still staying in the palace to recover from his injuries."
If it was the third princess who was raised in the deep palace, spoiled and willful, and knew nothing, she would definitely be panicked by the successive blows and might even cry on the spot.
But at this moment she was unexpectedly calm.
After experiencing Guan Ying's betrayal, she realized that not all people around her were good people, and she also knew that there were many invisible enemies lurking in the Thousand Islands.
At the same time, she also realized that she was a princess.
While enjoying the support of the state, the princess also has to bear corresponding responsibilities. The people have paid a large amount of taxes in exchange for the silks, satins, jewels and jades she wears. So she should also stand up when the country is facing a crisis and do her best to protect her subjects!
Just like the Imperial Concubine, for the sake of the country and the nation, she is brave and resolute and will never retreat!
Yi Mei secretly clenched her fists and spoke word by word.
"I want to go back to the Thousand Islands."
General Zheng was a little hesitant, but in front of everyone, he couldn't refuse the princess's order, so he could only bow and respond.
"As you command! Princess, please go to the cabin and rest for a while. I will arrange a ship and personnel to take you back home."
Yi Mei, Chu Jian and all the members of the delegation were taken to the cabin.
As the third princess, Yimei had a noble status, so she naturally occupied the largest guest room.
But she had no intention of resting, as her mind was full of thoughts about her father and uncle.
It is no coincidence that my father and uncle met with accidents one after another.
She suspected that Guan Ying was behind this.
But Guan Ying's status and position alone could not extend his reach to the Emperor and General Jin.
There must be someone helping him behind the scenes.
Knock knock.
There was a knock on the door.
Yimei stood up and walked over, reaching out to open the door.
The person standing outside the door was General Zheng.
The general was very tall. He stood straight at the door, like a high wall, blocking the door tightly.
The petite Yi Mei stood in front of him, looking even smaller and more delicate, like a child who had not yet grown up.
Yimei had heard about General Zheng's deeds and knew that he was a brave and warlike man, and that he did not get along well with her uncle, General Jin.
She looked up at the tall general in front of her and asked.
"What's up?"
General Zheng clasped his fists and saluted: "I have something to discuss with Her Royal Highness the Princess."
Yi Mei thought about it and decided to move aside to let him enter the room.
Chu Jian just happened to come to find Yi Mei and saw this scene. It was not that he was judging others by his own mean standards, but he felt that one should be cautious in everything, especially since the third princess was in a very dangerous situation now, so he should act even more cautiously.
He quickly ran to the door of Yimei's room.
Yi Mei asked him what’s the matter?
Chu Jian has now learned a lot of Thousand Island dialect, and basic daily communication is not a problem. However, his pronunciation is still not very standard, with a bit of the unique accent of the Dasheng people.
He said, “I will protect you.”
Just a few simple words made Yimei's heart beat faster.
She snorted in disdain: "I don't need your protection."
After saying that, she turned and went into the house without closing the door.
She thought Chu Jian would follow in by himself, but after taking two steps she heard no footsteps.
She looked back and saw Chu Jian still standing there.
He just stood straight at the door, neither coming in nor leaving, with a sword hanging on his waist, like a large canine animal, making people feel extremely reliable.
Originally Yi Mei wanted to say something to him, but seeing this, her heart softened and her tone also softened.
"Come in."
Yimei has always been very spoiled and never considered what others think. Now she rarely takes the initiative to show kindness to others. Others would definitely be flattered.
But Chu Jian is a blockhead who doesn't understand romance.
Instead of feeling happy, he shook his head and refused without hesitation.
"I'll just stand here, you go do your thing."
Yimei: “…”
This guy is so stupid!
She stamped her feet in anger, ignored him, turned around and walked over to the couch and sat down.
General Zheng's eyes moved back and forth between the Third Princess and Chu Jian, secretly wondering what the relationship between the two was.
Yi Mei had a cold face and said unhappily, "If you have anything to say, just say it now!"
General Zheng immediately suppressed the messy speculations in his mind and spoke respectfully.
"I want to remind Your Highness the Princess that General Jin's injury may not be simple."
When it came to business, Yi Mei immediately put away her unhappiness and asked seriously.
"What do you know?"
General Zheng looked at Chu Jian who was standing at the door.
Yi Mei: "He is my man, I can trust him."
Although her voice was not very loud when she said this, Chu Jian, who had sharp ears and eyes, still heard it.
When Chu Jian heard the words "He is mine", his face inexplicably felt a little hot.
Seeing this, General Zheng did not hesitate and told everything he knew.
“In fact, General Jin did not agree with this expedition.
But the Imperial Master insisted on doing so, and more than half of the people in the court supported him. The Imperial Master also took out the imperial edict written by the Emperor himself, indicating that the Emperor also agreed to the war.
General Jin could not disobey the imperial order, and since he had a broken leg, he was unable to enter the palace to personally verify the matter with the emperor.
In the end, he could only watch helplessly as the Imperial Master launched this war."
Yi Mei looked him up and down and asked doubtfully.
"How do you know these things?"
General Zheng: "To be honest, General Jin told me all this himself.
General Jin knew that the war with the Great Sheng Dynasty was inevitable and he could only think of a solution in secret.
I have had many conflicts with General Jin in the past because of our different styles of doing things and the fact that we are military generals of similar ranks. Everyone thinks that the relationship between us is very bad.
But in fact, I was once saved by General Jin, and the two of them have a very good relationship in private. "
