Chapter 151: The Lame Princess vs. the Blind Hostage Prince Consort (28)
Xi Hanfeng raised his eyebrows when he found that several secret guards he had hidden in the jungle were all controlled by the men in black brought by Xun Ji.
I don't believe he will do it at all, and I laugh heartily:
"I was curious about whether the rumors about Qi Beilin were true, so I tried it out. It's my fault that Prince Consort Xun remembered something bad."
Before he finished speaking, Xi Hanfeng felt a sudden chill and pain in his chest.
The tip of the dagger pierced through the clothes and shallowly penetrated the flesh.
Just one more inch in and it would have pierced the heart.
Xi Hanfeng stared at Xun Ji in a daze, his pupils constricted in surprise.
How dare he?
Xun Ji rubbed the chiseled knife handle in his hand lightly, and said nonchalantly: "Please, Prince, don't cross the line again in the future."
"It's not difficult to change a partner."
It's just that his revenge will take a little longer.
Xun Ji casually pulled out the dagger, put it against Xi Hanfeng's shoulder, wiped off the bright red blood on the tip of the knife, and led his men away with a low smile.
He looked relaxed, as if he was just here to exchange pleasantries with an old friend.
Xi Hanfeng covered the bleeding wound and gritted his teeth.
Damn, crazy guy.
"Your Highness, this Xun Ji is too arrogant!" The secret guard was indignant:
"He and that evil woman weren't injured, so why..."
Boom——!
The secret guard suddenly fell backwards to the ground, with an engraved dagger inserted in his half-open mouth, from which a dazzling hot stream gradually flowed out.
It was obvious that Xun Ji had not gone far and heard it.
Xi Hanfeng didn't get angry but laughed instead. His heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down.
Xun Ji, you really care about Yuanlu tea.
Some time ago, Xun Ji found his spy planted in Yuanchang and proposed cooperation.
Not only did he give him the Beilin city defense map, he also promised to give him half of Yuanchang's territory after the success.
However, if he couldn't find the weakness of someone who could even betray his country, he would not dare to agree even if he was moved.
Who knows if this madman Xun Ji will turn against his promise?
Fortunately, he found out.
Xi Hanfeng smiled coldly.
If used well, Xun Ji, it will be a sharp enough knife.
-
Inside the Prime Minister's tent.
Chu Jinghong and Luo Jinshuang retreated outside to guard in case anyone came.
While eating the candied fruit on the table, Lu Cha stared at the sixty-year-old man sitting opposite him, groaning uncomfortably - the current Prime Minister Chu.
His eyes were dim, revealing a hint of disgust.
How could such acting skills deceive the male lead?
"Oh, I have a splitting headache, and my heart is pounding and my hands are numb. Your Highness, why don't you come back another day?" Prime Minister Chu said weakly.
Lu Cha did not speak.
She stared at him with her pair of clear black and white almond-shaped eyes, which made people's scalp tingle.
Prime Minister Chu could no longer pretend.
After all, he has been in the officialdom for many years, so how could he not understand that the little girl has seen through him.
Guilty, he sat up straight and cleared his throat.
"Ahem, Your Highness is looking for me, what is it?"
Lu Cha smiled softly and said dangerously, "Prime Minister, do you want Yuanchang to last forever?"
"I can do it."
“?!”
Prime Minister Chu became alert instantly.
He had heard a little about the eldest princess's recent actions, and he had also watched this child grow up little by little.
From wearing armor and rushing to the frontier, to later becoming disabled and falling into depravity, to now regaining his strength.
The eldest princess is as capable as any man.
But, how could she seize power and usurp the throne? !
As if knowing what Prime Minister Chu was thinking, Lu Cha slowly stood up and said, "I was forced to do so."
"Yuan Ting is not a wise ruler."
Before Prime Minister Chu could recover from the shock of the "cripple's miraculous recovery", Lu Cha asked sincerely:
"Prime Minister, don't you want to see the grand spectacle of all nations coming to pay homage and become your subjects during your lifetime?"
"Don't you want to do something big before you're buried?"
Lu. Xiaohuoyou. Cha. clenched his fist with one hand, placed it on his chest, and described the grand blueprint of Yuanchang's unification of the world in the future.
His eyes are bright and determined, like a raging fire, ready to dispel the darkness of the night and bring a tomorrow that symbolizes hope.
The words made the elderly Prime Minister Chu's blood boil.
I wish I could use my crutches to welcome envoys from all over the world right now.
Prime Minister Chu stood up tremblingly and bowed:
"From now on, I will do my utmost to fulfill your Highness' orders."
It's not just because of the beautiful and prosperous times, but also because I want to protect my whole family.
Yuan Ting is suspicious and sensitive. He is the prime minister and an old minister of the previous dynasty.
Although he usually appears to be a non-aggressive person, he has been suppressed many times in secret and his power has been restricted.
The most ironic thing is that when Yuan Ting ascended the throne, he needed him to stabilize the ministers in the court. He rejected his request to retire and insisted on keeping him.
Once Yuan Ting finds someone to replace the prime minister, he will probably have to get rid of him and make room for someone else.
He can die, but his wife and children cannot.
"Then I'll trouble the Prime Minister to persuade the other ministers."
Lu Cha ate the last piece of candied fruit on the table, his eyebrows curved:
"When the time is right, I will bring back my uncle who is recuperating in the south and let him take charge of the situation."
Although the late emperor had few children, he still had a younger brother.
Yuan Ting tolerated his existence because he was fifty years old, had no real power, and was disliked by the government and the public, and posed no threat.
Prime Minister Chu was startled:
"Your Highness, don't you want to be emperor?"
Lu Cha said seriously: "My heart is only with the Prince Consort."
Being a wage earner is bad enough, and getting up early every day... Ugh~
horrible!
"Your Highness's deep love for your husband is something I admire." Prime Minister Chu bowed again shyly.
If it were him, he might not be able to refuse the supreme power for his wife.
No one can match the eldest princess's broad mind!
Not realizing that she looked much taller in front of Prime Minister Chu, Lu Cha sat in a wheelchair and called Lingying in to push her, her little face showing satisfaction.
It feels so good not to have to walk~
Luo Jinshuang and Chu Jinghong were kept by Prime Minister Chu for a talk.
-
The inner area of the hunting ground.
When Lu Cha was pushed back into the tent by Lingying, he saw Xun Ji standing outside the door.
In his left hand, he held a wooden cage containing a cute snow-white little rabbit, and in his right hand, he held a plate of golden roasted rabbit meat.
Lucha blinked.
What?
Between life and death?
"Is this for me?"
Xun Ji nodded shyly: "I saw other officials bringing back rabbits, so I shamelessly asked for two."
"But I don't know which one Your Highness would like, so I roasted one and left the other unkilled."
Lu Cha silently gave a thumbs up.
So thoughtful!
Looking at the furry and adorable rabbit jumping around in the cage, Lu Cha couldn't help but bend down and tease it.
Looking through the ribbon, Xun Ji could see the tender expression on the little girl's face, which was obvious that she loved him very much. The corners of Xun Ji's lips curled slightly.
Fortunately, he caught one and kept it.
"Lingying, I want to eat spicy stir-fry."
Xun Ji: “…”
While Lingying went to find the chef to cook, Lu Cha took Xun Ji into the tent first.
He moved the extinguished incense burner on the low cabinet, took the porcelain plate and began to enjoy the roasted rabbit.
The delicious and crispy taste made Lu Cha squint his eyes comfortably.
The villain's craftsmanship is pretty good~
Looking at the woman in the wheelchair, her red lips were shiny and translucent due to the oil, Xun Ji's Adam's apple rolled inexplicably.
The feeling of depression that had been lingering in my chest since I woke up became a little stronger at this moment.
It was as if something was burning his flesh, but what arose was not pain, but a strange and weird tingling sensation.
Xun Ji walked over as if possessed by a ghost and sat down on the chair next to Lu Cha, his eyes dim:
"Your Highness, is it delicious?"
