Chapter 359: Self-righteousness
Luo Jinshuang's eyes flickered. She had never thought that the Bodhi root was a treasure of the Chu royal family. "The first prize for this medical competition is the Bodhi root.
Princess Jin won first place, and the Crown Prince of Chu asked her to come to Chu to get it. I estimate that she will arrive in the capital of Chu in the next one or two days."
That day, she knew she went to the stockade.
I thought she would die in the village, but for some reason, I felt that she would definitely escape.
So she ignored her injuries and immediately set out for the State of Chu with Liu Yun. She didn't want her to obtain the Bodhi root smoothly, and wanted to make sure she didn't get it.
Murong Xi's face darkened slightly, and he said sharply, "How could the treasure of the Chu royal family become the prize of the Penglai Island Medical Competition?"
Luo Jinshuang whispered: "We are not sure about this either. It should be provided by the Crown Prince of Chu."
Murong Xi frowned and asked coldly, "Why would the prince take the treasure of the Chu State as a prize?"
"Princess, the Crown Prince of Chu seems to like the Princess of Jin. Not only does he meet her alone, he also often sends people to give her things." Liu Yun said in a low voice.
"He likes her?" Murong Xi had a look of disbelief on her face. How could he like a married woman who had given birth to a child?
The entire Chu State knew that Murong Yan was not interested in women.
At his age, he should have married a crown princess long ago, but he has always refused to do so, and there are no other women in the backyard of the Eastern Palace.
There were all kinds of gossip in the court, but he disdained it all.
Is it because of Jiang Nanjiao that he doesn't want to marry the Crown Princess?
How ridiculous!
Could it be that he also wants to marry Jiang Nanjiao as the Crown Princess?
Does he want to embarrass the State of Chu?
"It seems so. Princess Jin is indeed extremely beautiful." Luo Jinshuang said calmly. She knew that Murong Xi had been rejected by Zhan Beiheng.
She is a sharp weapon that is very effective against Jiang Nanjiao.
Murong Xi sneered in her heart, "A married woman is still flirting with seduction, this princess will not let her get the Bodhi root."
Luo Jinshuang pretended to be frightened, "Princess, the Crown Prince of Chu promised to give the Princess of Jin a Bodhi root. If you do this, you will cause a conflict with the Crown Prince of Chu."
"He can go crazy for a woman, but he can't take the treasures of the Chu royal family." Murong Xi's cold eyes flashed with cruelty.
"I don't want the princess and the prince to have a conflict. It's all my fault for being too talkative just now." Luo Jinshuang looked anxious.
Murong Xi looked at her and smiled gradually, "You came to Chu State specifically to tell me all this, isn't it just to make me deal with Jiang Nanjiao? You don't have to pretend in front of me."
She was born in the big melting pot of the imperial palace and had seen too many intrigues since she was a child. How could she be a simple princess who knew nothing?
"Princess, I..." Luo Jinshuang's face was pale and red under the veil, and she felt uncomfortable. She didn't expect Murong Xi to see through her intention.
"I like smart people, but I don't like people who think they are smart." Murong Xi said with a smile.
Luo Jinshuang stood up quickly and lowered her head. "Princess, I didn't mean to do that. I don't want Princess Jin to get the Bodhi root. You are the only one I know in the Chu royal family."
"I won't let her get the Bodhi root, but I also hate it when others use me as a tool. I like honest people." Murong Xi's face was dignified and arrogant.
"I was wrong. I will never be smart again. Please forgive me for my impulsiveness this time." Luo Jinshuang lowered her posture and admitted her mistake.
"Sit down, and don't make mistakes again. We have the same annoying people, so we should join forces." Murong Xi said with a smile while playing with his fingers.
"Princess, you are right." Luo Jinshuang said gently.
Murong Xi smiled.
Jiang Nanjiao!
She wanted to see what kind of person she was that Zhan Beiheng would make an exception for her and even Murong Yan, who was not interested in women, was moved by her.
…
The capital of Chu State.
A carriage entered the city quickly, and suddenly a team blocked its way.
"Princess Jin, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has prepared accommodation for you. Let me take you there." Chifeng said respectfully while sitting on the horse and looking at the carriage.
Nan Jiao raised her eyebrows.
As soon as they entered the capital of Chu State, Murong Yan's people were already waiting for them, as they knew they would arrive today.
She opened the carriage curtain and looked at Chiffon, "Please lead the way."
"It should be." Chiffon said with a smile.
A moment later.
Chifeng took Nanjiao and the others to a bustling street, and finally stopped at the gate of an exquisite and luxurious courtyard.
"Princess Jin, we're here." Chifeng dismounted and walked to the front of the carriage.
Nan Jiao opened the carriage curtain and went down. "Live here?"
"This was specially prepared for you by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Chiffon said quickly.
"Let's go in and take a look." Nan Jiao said as she walked into the yard.
"You are the only one who came to Chu State?" Chifeng looked at the carriage, then at Nan Jiao who was walking inside.
Molan held the sword, her face as cold as ice as she said, "And me."
Chiffon was surprised.
Prince Jin didn’t come?
He thought he would come to Chu with Princess Jin.
Nan Jiao turned around and looked at him with a half-smile, and said meaningfully: "It's just a Bodhi root, do you need a large group of people to come and grab it?"
Chifeng looked embarrassed, "That's not what I meant. I thought Prince Jin would come with you."
Nan Jiao's eyes were filled with arrogance, "It's just to get some herbs, why do I need him to accompany me? Go back and ask your master when to give me the Bodhi root."
"Yes, there are servants in the yard. Just tell them if you need anything." Chiffon said.
"Yeah." Nan Jiao turned and walked into the yard.
Molan followed.
Chifeng frowned. Prince Jin was willing to let Princess Jin bring a female guard with her?
As soon as Nan Jiao entered the courtyard, a maid came forward and said, "My surname is Wen. The Crown Prince asked me to dress up the Princess Jin. If the Princess Jin needs anything, please feel free to contact me."
"I'm free for now, you guys go and do your own things." Nan Jiao smiled faintly and was slightly stunned when she looked at the yard. It was actually arranged according to her preferences.
Pavilions and towers.
Small bridge and flowing water.
The lake in the center of the courtyard was planted with her favorite water lilies.
He had good intentions, but unfortunately he used them in the wrong place.
Zhan Beiheng originally insisted on accompanying her to Chu, but she still didn't want him to take the risk because he was Qin's god of war and this was not a visit agreed upon between the two countries.
He came privately.
The State of Chu regarded him as a thorn in their side and would never let him leave safely.
She drugged him.
Let Mo Li and Mo Ran take him back to the capital of Qin State. Youyou Baoer was not taken either. He just took a Bodhi root. Too many people coming would make him more eye-catching.
So she took Molan with her.
…
East Palace.
"My lord, I have brought Princess Jin to Wutong Courtyard. Princess Jin came alone, with only a female guard by her side." Chifeng reported.
Murong Yan put down the memorial in his hand and asked, "Zhan Beiheng didn't come?"
"I was waiting at the city gate and saw only a carriage. I thought the King of Jin was inside, but it turned out that only the King of Jin's wife was there."
"Got it." Murong Yan had a thoughtful look on his face. He was quite surprised that Zhan Beiheng actually let her come alone.
"Princess Jin asked me to ask you when you will give her the Bodhi root?" Chifeng said in a low voice. He naturally knew his master's good intentions.
