Chapter 147: The Lame Princess vs. the Blind Prince Consort (24)
At midnight, the noise of the Mid-Autumn Festival gradually faded away, and the desolation of the autumn night returned.
In the bedroom of the Princess's Mansion, West Garden.
Azhuo, dressed in night clothes, reported one by one: "Master, the talkative man has had his tongue removed and dealt with."
"As for Huipin, her tendons were cut and she was sent on her way."
"News arrived tonight from the Seokyo Kingdom. They have agreed to cooperate with you and will arrive in Yuanchang soon."
Xun Ji lazily sat up from the couch and said "hmm" softly.
During the months he pretended to be sick, he secretly expanded his influence. Not only did he get the antidote for the cold poison, he also successfully contacted the Xiliang Kingdom.
Just wait a little longer and you can close the net.
"Master, the candle in this lantern has burned out. Do you want to throw it away?"
Xun Ji glanced at the small jade rabbit lantern on the low table beside him.
It was from Lu Cha's stall near the river, and he bought it for him to carry.
A trace of struggle flashed in the dark eyes.
"Leave it here as a decoration."
Azhu nodded in agreement and was about to pick up the lantern and put it in another place.
But Xun Ji took it away first and said casually: "Your hands are dirty."
"?" Azhu looked at his clean hands in confusion.
It’s obviously not dirty.
-
The next day.
Lu Cha maliciously asked someone to call Xun Ji to the main hall for lunch.
I wanted to use the finger kissing incident last night to tease the little villain, but Luo Jinshuang brought Mr. Ye over, so I had to give up the idea.
Elder Ye walked into the hall and bowed, "I pay my respects to Her Royal Highness the Princess."
"There's no need to be so polite, Doctor Ye."
Lu Cha looked at Luo Jin Shuang with a smile, and was about to ask, but heard her say:
"Your Highness, Mr. Ye will be leaving the capital this afternoon. I have taken the initiative to ask him to come and treat the Prince Consort's eye disease."
"Mr. Ye said that he is also confident about your leg disease."
Lu Cha & Xun Ji: “?!”
The same thought came to their minds at the same time -
Oops! It's going to be exposed!
"Then I'll have to trouble Doctor Ye to check on Xun Ji." Lu Cha immediately decided who would check first.
It's better to die than to die as a friend~
Xun Ji was timid: "Your Highness, I am of low status, how can I be qualified to stand before you?"
"Rather than restoring the light, I hope that Your Highness can stand up again."
At this point, Xun Ji lowered his head shyly, his voice tender:
"This is my greatest wish."
Lucha gently held his hand: "This is an order."
“…”
Xun Ji was silent.
Doubt welled up in the eyes hidden behind the ribbon.
Could it be that she knew I was pretending to be blind?
Luo Jinshuang keenly felt the atmosphere between Lu Cha and Xun Ji, which was a bit subtle. She frowned slightly, not quite understanding.
Why is it weird?
At this time, Nanny Li trotted into the hall and said, "Your Highness, the Emperor has sent two boxes of gold, silver, and jewelry, as well as three handsome men, who he said are here to serve you."
Lucha blinked.
What?
Planning to use the beauty trap?
And a faint feeling of annoyance suddenly lingered in Xun Ji's chest.
It was as if a few annoying flies had broken into the territory of a sleeping beast.
Yuan Ting, you sent them to find out the whereabouts of the military token.
Want to snatch it from him?
Xun Ji lowered his eyes to hide the sarcasm deep in his heart, bit his lip lightly, and the hand held by Lu Cha trembled slightly.
"Your Highness has someone else, will you still want me?"
He asked cautiously, like an insecure dog that desperately needed its owner's comfort.
Lu Cha couldn't help but patted his head and said, "Yes."
"If you're worried, I'll leave these three beauties to you."
It just so happened that she didn't want to keep the spy Yuan Ting sent her.
Xun Ji nodded shyly: "Then I will go meet them now and see how to arrange it."
Seeing Xun Ji quickly leaving with crutches and following Nanny Li, Lu Cha realized it belatedly.
Did I give the villain an excuse to slip away?
"Since the Prince Consort is in trouble, Your Highness, why don't you let Elder Ye treat you first?"
As soon as Luo Jinshuang finished speaking, her pupils suddenly shrank.
Lu Cha stood up silently and took two steps.
"Actually, I'm not lame."
Luo Jinshuang:!
When she was helping Lu Cha restore her reputation, she found out some things about the brother and sister. She was worried that if Yuan Ting killed them, the girl would not be able to escape.
Now, she feels relieved.
Lu Cha leaned over and bowed to Mr. Ye: "I'm sorry, sir, for causing you trouble."
Luo Jinshuang instantly understood her implication and opened her eyes wide in shock.
It seems the Prince Consort is also pretending?!
Old Ye stroked his beard with a smile and said, "Your Highness, there is no need to be so. I am not that narrow-minded. I will prepare some good wine and delicious food. That will be enough."
Lu Cha's eyes sparkled as he signaled Lingying to get ready quickly.
Hehe~ It’s time to eat again~
-
Western Garden.
Seeing Xun Ji bring back three men with different styles but all very handsome, Azhuo was bewildered: "Master, who are they?"
"The person sent by the emperor will be a servant in the Western Garden from now on."
After Xun Ji finished speaking, he caused protests from three people:
"We are here to serve the Princess! Why should we serve a hostage like you?!"
"You want to act like a prince consort? Are you worthy?! He's just a male favorite with a nicer name!" The green-clad man in the lead looked at him with disdain:
"When His Highness gets tired of playing with you, he will chase you away!"
"You blind bastard!"
A cold light suddenly flashed across.
Blood mist floated in the air.
The man in green fell to the ground with a thud, his neck severely cut by the dagger, and hot red liquid gushed out violently.
The other two men were hit in the acupuncture points before they could even scream, and they froze in place, speechless.
His eyes trembled, revealing an unconcealable fear and panic.
Xun Ji slowly wiped the blood off his hands with a towel, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly, revealing a comfortable smile.
It's much quieter.
"Chop it up and feed it to the dogs."
Azhuo hesitated: "Master, if His Highness asks..."
"Just say that she scared you away."
Xun Ji threw the handkerchief away casually, his eyes flashing with harshness, yet also with a hint of tenderness.
It was because the image of the little girl's angry face appeared in my mind.
Quite interesting, actually.
-
In the blink of an eye, ten days passed.
The prince of Xiliang Kingdom came to visit. In order to show his hospitality, Yuan Ting specially organized a hunting activity and invited all officials to participate.
Among them, deer tea is included.
Yuan Ting also gave an order that participation was mandatory.
At 9:00 PM today, we will set off for the hunting ground outside Beijing.
Lu Cha looked at Lingying who came back to report the news:
"Others hunt on horseback and shoot arrows with bows, but I move my wheelchair with my hands and spit out date pits with my mouth?"
The system gloated: [You can also pooh-pooh and transform into a little alpaca running across the grass.]
“…”
I think you are a dung beetle crawling in a cesspool - you are not far from death (shit).
The system went offline out of guilt.
"Your Highness is the eldest princess of the dynasty. When a foreign prince comes here, you should come forward." Lingying poured Lu Cha a cup of tea.
"Lingying found out that the Emperor only asked Concubine Lan to accompany him on this hunt."
"That night, after the moon-viewing banquet, the emperor was assassinated. Concubine Luo was rewarded for her service and was given the title of Lan Fei. She served him in bed for several days. However, Lingying asked the palace guards, and they never found the assassin."
Lu Cha raised her eyebrows slightly.
Yuan Ting, cooperated with Luo Zelan.
Isn't that my former brother-in-law and sister... Wow~
So exciting!
Lu Cha grinned evilly, recalling the original plot.
The little villain launched a revenge, and the country he allied with was Xiliang.
One of the original owner's wishes was to avoid being charged with treason.
She should be ready too.
-
Si hour.
At the gate of the Princess's Mansion.
After Lingying carried Lu Cha onto the carriage, he raised his hand and held the door, preventing Xun Ji, who was following behind, from getting in. His eyes were playful:
"I heard that the three beauties the emperor sent were all scared away by me?"
"I just took them to the main courtyard and took a look at His Highness from a distance. I don't know what happened, but they all ran away suddenly."
Xun Ji answered in a low voice, hunching his shoulders. His timid and pitiful posture made people think that he didn't dare to tell a lie.
Lu Cha curled her lips.
Pretend! Just keep pretending!
"I'm scary, and you're timid, so go get a carriage yourself."
As soon as she finished speaking, she immediately asked the coachman to set off. The dust raised by the horse's hooves successfully splashed all over Xun Ji.
"Ahem."
Xun Ji raised his hand to his lips, his eyes curved.
Childish ghost.
