Chapter 162: The Lame Princess vs. the Blind Hostage Prince Consort (39)
Lu Cha took the last bite of peach flesh and asked knowingly, "What is it?"
Xun Ji slowly stretched out his hand, and the copper military token engraved with complicated inscriptions lay quietly in his palm.
Besides that, there was a crumpled note.
The handwriting on it is elegant yet chic——【Gift】
He found this at the bottom of the mahogany box that Lu Cha had sent.
Because he knew that the boxes were filled with crown ornaments and antique jades, and he did not like material possessions, he never opened them.
However, this only lost place hides the military token he has always wanted.
She had actually given it to herself a long time ago.
Lu Cha smiled sweetly: "Once it's in your hands, it's yours."
"The remaining half of the military token was placed by Yuan Ting in the secret compartment behind the Hundred Birds Screen in the Imperial Study."
"You can go mobilize the troops."
Xun Ji ignored him and raised his hand to tear off the blindfold.
There is a watery color floating in the shimmering pupils.
The red scars at the corners of the eyes faded a little under the sunlight, just like the delicate stamens of azalea blooming in the spring breeze.
It was the first time that Lu Cha saw Xun Ji without any cover.
Gentle and elegant, yet charming and alluring, just like a fox demon hiding in the deep mountains and forests, ignorant of the world.
The little villain is really good-looking~
Xun Ji looked at the little girl in the wheelchair without showing any surprise, but a feeling of sadness spread in his heart.
She really knew everything.
But she was willing to play along with him, watching him plotting her life and telling hypocritical lies.
From beginning to end, it was never pierced.
Indulge him again and again, hold him gently in the palm of your hand, and quietly wipe away the weather and frost on his body.
What qualifications does he have?
Hot tears rolled down.
Xun Ji staggered towards Lu Cha, knelt beside her legs, and stared blankly up at the pretty little face.
The cold and vicious eldest princess in the previous life could no longer be connected with her since some time ago.
Xun Ji finally couldn't help but ask the question that had been lingering in his heart for a long time:
"Who are you..."
A fairy who came to save him?
Lu Cha raised her hand to wipe away the tears from Xun Ji's eyes. Her clear almond-shaped eyes curved slightly, like a bright crescent moon.
"Your wife."
Xun Ji was stunned for a moment, then he laughed childishly, but his tears flowed even more violently.
He threw himself into Lu Cha's arms, hugging this warm and delicate body tightly, like a drowning man clinging to a piece of driftwood.
Even her trembling fingertips were tightly grasping Lu Cha's clothes.
It turned out that the god he had wanted to usurp power had already lowered his head and was watching him.
Such preference.
"Your Highness, Your Highness..." Xun Ji murmured, calling Lu Cha by her name, and unconsciously rubbed his cheek against her body.
It's like a big, spoiled dog that wants to get more of its owner's scent.
This is mine, Your Highness...
[Ding—Villain’s favorability +20, Darkness -30.]
-
Time flies, and ten days have passed in the blink of an eye.
After Xun Ji received the military order, he immediately dispatched troops to support the border, and at the same time redeployed the plan, successfully forcing back Xiliang's army. It can be said that he won every battle.
But Xi Hanfeng's whereabouts are unknown, and no one knows where he is at this moment.
This day.
The Princess's Mansion, main hall.
The fifty-year-old man in a dragon robe, the former Prince Xian and now the newly appointed Emperor Yuanchang, looked at Lu Cha, who was sitting leisurely in a wheelchair, with envy, and said earnestly:
"Anping, the emperor's uncle is too old to get up early and stay up late."
"You are still in your prime, and your leg is healed. You should work hard and lead Yuanchang to a better future."
He wanted to go back to his small courtyard in the south and fish leisurely every day.
Lu Cha said seriously, "Your Majesty, you have to believe that you can do it."
"I am weak and not suited to hard work."
At this point, Lu Cha looked at Prime Minister Chu and suggested bluntly: "Prime Minister, you can start preparing for the selection soon."
"The Emperor is indeed old. He must hurry and have a child to prevent any accidents."
Prime Minister Chu & Emperor Yuanchang: "......"
She is afraid that the emperor will die and she will take the throne!
But at this moment, Xun Ji came over carrying a small box, and Prime Minister Chu's mood immediately became complicated.
The eldest princess was thinking about usurping the throne, and the prince consort led people in rebellion, but in the end, no one was willing to become emperor.
It’s true, they are a perfect match.
He should send the emperor back to the palace to study the selection process.
Emperor Yuanchang was determined to continue persuading Lu Cha, but when he saw Xun Ji, he silently shut up.
He could tell the difference between having a bad time fishing and not being able to fish at all.
After Emperor Yuanchang and Prime Minister Chu left, Xun Ji sat on the chair next to Lu Cha and presented the open box with both hands as if offering a treasure, with anticipation in his peach blossom eyes:
"Your Highness, if you are bored in the future, you can play this with me in the yard."
"You throw, I catch."
When he saw the yellowish white balls inside, which were obviously made of cleaned and polished human bones, Lu Cha's eyes were subtle.
Ever since Xun Ji learned about the military token that day, he completely stopped pretending, completely lost his former timidity, and became extremely clingy.
Even when she went to the toilet, she had to wait outside. She was simply a dog-skin plaster.
The things delivered every day are also strange and bizarre.
They were either human skin lanterns or toys made of various bones, making full use of the poor Emperor Bei Lin and the eight princes.
Thinking of the skull candlestick in the room, Lu Cha was distracted for a moment.
The little villain also has the shadow of that madman.
Sensing that Lu Cha was distracted and her hazy vision seemed to be looking through him, Xun Ji leaned over and stared straight into her eyes:
"Your Highness, who are you thinking about?"
