Inside the Chu Imperial Palace.
Le Tu went back and reported to the King of Chu, Meng Xin, about his encounter with Shui Luolan in the snow in the afternoon, which immediately made Meng Xin curious.
He stroked his beard with one hand, paced back and forth, and muttered to himself.
"Are there really two people in this world who look so alike? I heard about it from Sina a long time ago, but I didn't believe it. But since even you can mistake someone for someone else, it seems like it must be true."
Letu nodded repeatedly with a solemn oath,
"It's true. Aside from the tone of voice and accent, she looks exactly like Sister Sina. Otherwise, how could I have mistaken her?"
Meng Xin frowned suspiciously. "This world is truly amazing. People living in two different countries can be so similar. If Xina wasn't your aunt's child, I would have thought they were twin sisters."
Hearing his father say this, Le Xiang suddenly realized something and said:
"Father, do you think it's possible that Sister Xina was a child that Auntie picked up? If that's the case, then it makes sense. Otherwise, if she never married, where did the child come from?"
"Shut up."
The veins on Meng Xin's face suddenly bulged, and he continued in a stern voice:
"I told you a long time ago not to try to find out about your aunt. Why didn't you listen? Men, don't be too curious, otherwise you won't achieve anything great."
Listening to his father's teachings, Le Tu hushed his nose, took two steps back, clasped his fists, and said:
"Got it. I'll do what a man should do."
"You know what a man should do?"
Meng Xin's words made Letu stunned for a moment, then he frowned, rolled his eyes and said:
"Practicing martial arts, training soldiers..."
"You are still too naive. Now that Leng Yu is dead, the Daning Kingdom's military camp must be in chaos. Now is the best time for us to launch a surprise attack. Hurry and gather the troops. This morning, while the enemy is fast asleep, you will personally lead the troops and launch a surprise attack on the Daning Kingdom's military camp."
"I'm going too."
As soon as Meng Xin finished speaking, Xina walked in with a serious face, "Uncle, I just heard you say that you are going to raid the Daning Kingdom's military camp tonight. I want to go too."
"no."
Meng Xin waved his hand to interrupt her, "Fighting is a man's business. Why are you, a woman, getting involved in this mess? Go back to your room."
"I don't……"
Sina raised her face and raised her eyebrows unwillingly:
"I want to meet the woman who looks like me..."
It turned out that when she heard that Letu had met the woman who looked like her, she immediately became curious.
The last time she went to the capital of Daning State, she had wanted to meet this woman who was said to look exactly like her, but because of her special status, it was inconvenient for her to move around freely in the capital of Daning State, so she never had the chance.
She doesn't want to miss such a good opportunity this time.
Although her reasons were good, Meng Xin still waved his hand and rejected her harshly.
"Don't be silly. Going to the battlefield is no joke. Swords have no eyes. What if someone hurts you?"
"uncle……"
"Stop talking."
Sina knitted her eyebrows together, pouted, turned around angrily, and walked away with big strides.
Seeing this, Letu also hurriedly said to Meng Xin:
"Father, I will go and prepare now."
After leaving these words, he left quickly.
As soon as he walked out the door, he was stopped by Sina.
"Letu?"
Xena stood not far away and waved to him.
Le Tu glanced at her, walked over quickly, and said directly without waiting for her to speak:
"No, you don't have to tell me. I won't agree to take you there. You should go back to your boudoir."
Seeing that Le Tu had guessed her thoughts, Xina's eyebrows slightly frowned and she muttered softly,
"If you don't take me with you, I will tell my father about your love affair with Xiao Qiao, the maid in the palace..."
Before she could finish her words, Letu came forward and covered her mouth. He looked around in panic and asked anxiously:
"How did you know that?"
Sina took his hand away unhappily and snorted coldly:
"Don't worry about how I know this. Now I just want to ask you, will you take me with you tonight?"
Le Tu had never dared to tell his father and mother the king and the queen about his secret marriage with Xiao Qiao, because Xiao Qiao was only a palace maid and it was impossible for her to become the principal wife of the little prince. So, he could only meet with Xiao Qiao secretly. He didn't expect that this would be known by Sina.
When his father and mother found out about this, they insisted on beating Xiao Qiao to death. This was his weak spot, so how could he dare to disobey?
Thinking of this, he nodded helplessly.
"Okay, I promise. I'll have someone send you a set of soldier's clothes. Meet me at the city gate at midnight tonight."
After leaving these words, he sighed helplessly, flicked his sleeves, and left angrily.
Looking at his back, Sina raised her eyebrows proudly. The palace is so small, how could such a trivial matter escape her keen eyes?
She had never believed that there was someone in this world who looked like her. Tonight, she wanted to go see...
…
Luo Lan stayed in the operating room because he was worried about Leng Yu's health.
But the feeling of catching a cold made her feel very uncomfortable. She could not sit still any longer, so she lay down on the bed opposite him, half-closed her eyes and dozed off.
Outside the tent, Xiao Lingzi and Xiao Shuangzi were standing there with nervous expressions.
They made a decision that during the general's absence, in order to prevent the enemy from taking advantage of the opportunity to launch a sneak attack, their ten deputy generals would be divided into five groups and take turns on duty in three time periods.
Time passed by little by little. It was midnight, the time when people were most sleepy. Xiao Lingzi yawned, tightened his sheepskin coat, and muttered,
"There's still half an hour left, then you can go back to sleep."
The little twins also tightened their coats and said with a frown:
"Perhaps these Chu people have self-awareness and know that our Daning Kingdom is strong and powerful, so they dare not attack us in the middle of the night."
"Prevention is the best approach! We can't be careless at this time. We just hope the prince will come back soon so we can have peace of mind."
The little twins nodded in agreement.
"You're right, but where is our prince? Could it be that the princess really knows some kind of illusion?"
"I don't know, but the princess is really strange when she treats people. She makes people unable to see the patients. I think she must have a mysterious space, but I can't guess what it is like."
"So, do you think she has witchcraft or immortal magic?"
Xiao Lingzi glared at him sideways, "How dare you talk about the princess behind her back? I'll go and complain to her later and she'll give you a beating."
The little twins pursed their lips and shrugged:
"I'm not the only one who's secretly talking about the princess. Aren't you curious too?"
Xiao Lingzi sighed, glanced at the starry sky, and nodded:
"Well, I'm curious too, but as long as she can return the prince to us, I don't care whether it's magic or witchcraft."
