She had actually prepared herself for He Jiuniang to be quite beautiful, but she was still stunned when she saw her in person.
The woman before him wore no makeup; her skin was as white as snow, her lips were a lovely color, and her long black hair was casually tied back with a hairpin, with a few wisps of hair hanging down in front of her forehead, adding to her casual and carefree demeanor.
The princess can confidently guarantee that no woman in the entire capital can compare to He Jiu Niang standing before her.
He Jiuniang had just helped Lu Baichuan lie down when she looked up and saw the princess staring at her like a lovesick fool, and she immediately felt a little uncomfortable.
What's wrong with this princess?
Although she acts like a man, she is sexually normal!
Perhaps sensing her discomfort, the princess quickly recovered and smiled, saying, "This must be Madam Lu, right? Seeing is believing, you are truly breathtaking!"
That makes the princess sound like a lecherous old woman...
But she still smiled politely and said, "Your Majesty flatters me."
Although Prince Chen also thought she was beautiful, he knew she was Lu Baichuan's wife and wouldn't have any romantic feelings for her. He was just surprised by her ability to come to Jinzhou overnight and asked, "How did you get here, Madam? If nothing unexpected happened, the people in Jingzhou probably only received the news last night at dusk, right?"
"Yes, it's at dusk."
He Jiuniang nodded sincerely and continued, "I rushed here as soon as I received the news, and several horses died on the way."
"What about Qin Jian and the others?"
"Oh, they're still behind. I'm just missing my husband so much! Hehe!"
As she spoke, He Jiuniang smiled shyly, clearly telling Prince Chen and his wife that it was entirely the power of love that drove her.
Prince Chen and his wife were stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.
"Madam Lu is indeed different from ordinary women!"
"Yes, who wouldn't like that straightforward personality!"
When the couple starts saying nice things, it's like they don't care about money.
He Jiuniang never expected that she would be flattered on her first meeting with Prince Chen and his wife, and she felt a little smug for a moment.
Only Lu Baichuan knew why they were like this, because his wife was just that amazing and outstanding, and of course, most importantly, she was also so beautiful!
Thinking this, a sense of superiority rose in his heart; no one in this world could compare to him.
"Thank you for your kind words, Your Highness and Your Majesty. However, I... Your Majesty... Your Majesty, I came in a hurry this time and was unable to bring you any gifts. I will definitely bring more next time I have the opportunity!"
In fact, He Jiuniang could have taken it from her spatial dimension, but in the eyes of these people, it was definitely unrealistic. After all, at that time, she was so eager to save people that she had the mind to prepare gifts, which would have been really excessive.
Upon hearing this, the princess was a little disappointed, but she could understand. After all, saving lives was the priority. Besides, even if she had brought gifts, with so many horses dying on the way, the gifts would probably have spoiled by the time they arrived.
"It's alright, we have everything we need here. As long as Lord Lu is well, Your Highness will be happy, and if Your Highness is happy, I will be happy too."
The princess smiled very gracefully and generously, but in her heart she only sighed that the timing of the meeting was not good. Otherwise, she would definitely have pulled He Jiu Niang aside to have a good chat about those beautiful dresses and the Lu Hei Ya branch opening. Oh right, she also wanted to ask her how she takes care of her skin. How can she be so fair and tender?
Thinking this, the princess suddenly felt a little jealous of Lu Baichuan. What great good deed did he do in his past life to be able to marry such a good wife in this life?
Lu Baichuan: ...
If he wasn't mistaken, the princess's eyes were filled with resentment, and perhaps even a hint of jealousy.
But why?
After exchanging a few casual pleasantries, Prince Chen inquired about Lu Baichuan's injuries. Reassured that there was no danger to his life and that he only needed to rest and recover, Prince Chen breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he got down to business: "What exactly happened? How could someone as cautious as you fall into Lin Yiping's trap?"
"It was my carelessness and underestimation of the enemy that led me to this situation."
Lu Baichuan recounted the situation at the time, without mentioning that the reason he was so anxious was entirely because he missed his wife.
Whatever the reason, it's his fault. If he brings it up now, it's tantamount to shifting the blame onto his wife.
He takes responsibility for his actions and is not the kind of person who makes excuses for himself.
"It seems Lin Yiping has discovered you for a long time. Your ability to hide is very good, and you are not so easily discovered. I suspect that either Lin Yiping's martial arts are superior to yours, or Lin Yiping has planted someone among our people. I have already asked Cheng Meng to investigate this matter and will give you an explanation."
Prince Chen spoke very seriously, and He Jiuniang felt that this was not something she should listen to, so she wanted to find an excuse to leave. Unexpectedly, Prince Chen deliberately called her back.
"I have heard Bai Chuan praise the lady many times. The lady's abilities are indeed not to be underestimated. Let her stay and listen. It would be best if she could give advice, but even if she can't, it won't hurt to listen."
Prince Chen really wanted to recruit He Jiuniang to work for him, but it was clear that He Jiuniang was unwilling, otherwise she wouldn't have taken the initiative to leave.
Even if he didn't want to, just staying to listen and offer some advice would be a win for him.
He Jiuniang felt that it wouldn't hurt to listen, mainly because Lin Yiping had offended her. If it were someone else, she wouldn't want to listen.
After all, she wasn't from this era, and her abilities were extraordinary. For her, there was no need for all these roundabout methods. She could simply drag out whoever she disliked and deal with them. For her, dealing with someone was as easy as crushing an ant.
But she knew she couldn't do it that way. She could only follow their line of thinking, step by step, to find out the truth, bring the people to justice, and then gradually get closer to achieving her goal.
Then Lu Baichuan continued, "The people who chased after me that night were a bit strange."
Everyone looked at him, waiting for him to continue.
Lu Baichuan didn't keep him in suspense and continued, "The people who chased me that night included a pair of assassins who came from the Lin residence, and another team wearing the armor of the Crown Prince's soldiers. However, the voice of the leader did not belong to the Crown Prince. I didn't see what he looked like, but the voice sounded familiar, though I couldn't quite place it."
This statement contained a lot of information, and Prince Chen frowned as he fell into deep thought. After a long while, he said, "So, it's very likely that Lin Yiping is ostensibly the Sixth Prince's man, but in reality, he's the Crown Prince's man. What's more, they want to use this to frame the Crown Prince."
Lu Baichuan nodded; he thought so too.
"I still remember that person's voice vividly. If I could hear it again, I would definitely recognize him."
Therefore, to find out who Lin Yiping is working for, we must first find out who the leader is.
It's just that it's one of those princes, it's just hard to be sure who it is.
Prince Chen said, "Then we should find an opportunity to get everyone together."
