Chapter 651: Beautiful Fox Demon vs. Unfavored Prince (47)
"The Second Prince used you to get rid of Nalan Chen. He felt that you were of no use to him, so he sent us to kill you, lest your identity be exposed one day and implicate him..."
The man in black spoke tremblingly, his pupils suddenly constricted, and his neck was cut off by the cold knife.
The splattered blood merged with the woman's skirt.
Lu Cha didn't care, and wiped the blood off the blade with his sleeve, looking disgusted.
This method of sowing discord is too low.
As if her favorability points were all gained in vain!
Not only did Lu Cha not believe the black-clad man's words, but Qu Yueliu beside her also found it ridiculous:
"The Second Prince is so eager to give you his life, how could he possibly send someone to kill you?"
"Who is trying to sow discord between you and the Second Prince in such a stupid way?"
A chubby little face suddenly flashed through Lu Cha's mind.
The old emperor didn't know that she came to the border, so it could only be Nalan Xiyan.
But why didn't Nalan Xiyan send a Taoist priest, but instead asked an ordinary killer to come?
Do you want to create a rift between her and the villain, or do you want to frame someone else at this moment?
While Lu Cha was thinking, a soldier ran over and reported respectfully:
"Miss Yin, you can attack now."
During this period, Lu Cha repeatedly repelled the invading troops of the Mo Kingdom and seized countless supplies, which completely conquered the soldiers on the border and improved their prejudice against the demon clan.
Because of these battles, many soldiers saved their lives thanks to the demons brought by Lu Cha.
Lu Cha sheathed his knife and mounted his horse: "Let's go."
She wants to give the little villain a big gift~
At the same time, in the Chaoxi Palace of the Imperial Palace.
Nalan Xiyan sat at the table with her chin in her hand, fiddling with the candle wick with a gold-plated candle snuffer.
She was the only one in the empty hall.
After an unknown amount of time, a dark figure leaped into the hall through the open window, knelt on one knee and said:
"Princess, the plan has failed."
Nalan Xiyan raised her eyebrows slightly, not surprised.
She originally wanted to kill Qu Yueliu and stir up conflict between Nalan Ji and General Qu.
Then disguise her people as the emperor's secret guards.
In this way, she could watch the three of them fight and reap the benefits.
But as long as Yin Lucha was there, her plan could not be realized.
The fox demon was too powerful, even the imperial master might not be able to subdue it.
Therefore, she could only let Nalan Ji fight with her father before Yin Lucha came back.
Her second brother is no simple person.
Nalan Xiyan tightened her fingertips and cut the candle wick:
"Tell Nalan Ji about Yin Lucha being assassinated by our father."
"Just say that the emperor might have discovered her identity as a fox demon."
The man in black took the order and retreated.
Nalan Xiyan looked at the candle flame that was burning even brighter and felt a sense of regret.
It would be great if Yin Lucha could do things for her.
Then her wish will surely come true.
—
In the blink of an eye, it is already the beginning of summer.
As the weather got warmer, Nalan Ji became more and more upset.
The little fox demon has been gone for over a month, and the letters have become less frequent during this period.
Most of the time, he would have Wang Liu deliver three or four letters before he would receive a reply.
If the little fox demon hadn't sent him the letter before, he probably wouldn't have been able to endure it and would have gone to the border to find her at all costs.
At this time, Chu Xiang walked into the study and said, "Master, the matter you asked me to investigate has a result."
"Princess Xiyan secretly trained many assassins. The assassination attempt on Miss Yin this time was carried out by someone she sent."
Nalan Ji's eyes suddenly turned cold.
He had recently received news that the little fox demon had been assassinated, and he almost rushed directly to the border.
Fortunately, his people sent a message in time, saying that the little fox demon was safe and sound, and that they had discovered something unusual -
Those killers who died were not the emperor's men.
Only then did he order Changle Palace to begin an investigation.
Nalan Xiyan, you hid it very well.
"Get rid of Nalan Xiyan's forces without endangering her life."
"Wait until Yin Lucha comes back, and then deal with Nalan Xiyan according to her instructions."
Thinking of that charming woman, Nalan Ji's eyes softened. He carefully put away the letter which he had read countless times, changed his clothes and went to court.
Not long after Nalan Ji arrived at the Golden Palace, a guard ran in.
"Your Majesty! Victory news has arrived from the border! The Mo Kingdom has surrendered! They are willing to become our vassal state!"
"The army set out for the capital three days ago and will arrive there almost tonight!"
"Good!" The old emperor stood up excitedly:
"Pass on my decree. When the soldiers return to the capital, I will hold a grand banquet to welcome them!"
"Ji'er, you did very well this time and did not disappoint me!"
Nalan Ji smiled perfunctorily, but his heart had already flown out of the city.
His little fox demon is finally coming back.
—
After finally waiting for the court to end, Nalan Ji didn't even return to the courtyard, but went straight to the city gate to wait.
In addition to him, there were Nalan Yan, Mu Qingrong and others who received the news that the army was returning to Beijing and came here to wait.
It was getting dark.
Suddenly, a deafening sound of horse hooves came from the distance.
Lu Cha and Qu Yue Liu, riding on their horses, were the first to come into view, bringing with them a cloud of dust.
"They're back! The army is back!"
Nalan Ji seemed not to hear the shouts behind him, and stared straight at the red dress that was getting closer and closer to him.
The longing that had been accumulating in my heart burst out like a flood at this moment.
Nalan Ji's nose felt inexplicably sour.
The empty space in my heart was filled by the beautiful figure that appeared.
It turned out that she was so important to him.
[Ding—Villain's Darkness Value -20, Villain's current Darkness Value is 30.]
It was not until Lu Cha dismounted and walked over that Nalan Ji came back to his senses. With trembling fingertips, he wanted to touch the woman's face.
But when he was about to touch Lu Cha, his hand fell on her sleeve and gently pulled it.
The thousands of words I wanted to say were reduced to just two simple words in the end:
"I've lost weight."
His little fox demon has lost a lot of weight.
Looking at Nalan Ji, whose eyes were filled with tenderness, Lu Cha smiled softly and held his hand:
"The Second Prince has also lost weight."
Nalan Ji: "I have no appetite when you are not here."
"You've been gone for a month and ten days, and I miss you every day."
Lu Cha was a little surprised.
The little villain can actually say nice things!
"It's my fault. Can I apologize to the Second Prince?"
Nalan Ji looked at Lu Cha suspiciously, only to see the woman clapped her hands lightly.
Two soldiers carried a box over and opened it in front of Nalan Ji.
There are countless rare treasures inside.
When he saw the crown on top, Nalan Ji was stunned:
"Is this... the crown of the monarch of Mo Country?"
"Yeah!" Lu Cha raised his face proudly:
"The best treasures in the Mo Kingdom's treasury are all here!"
The little villain likes treasures, so she will find the best treasures.
He is so happy!
Nalan Ji's vision blurred for a moment: "Did you invade Mo Country just to find treasures?"
Lu Cha had just nodded when he was suddenly hugged by Nalan Ji.
The man hugged her tightly, as if he wanted to merge her into his own flesh and blood.
The tears that had been gathering in the corners of Nalan Ji's eyes finally fell.
"Fool."
Feeling the wetness spreading across his neck, Lu Cha raised his hand with amusement and hugged Nalan Ji:
"That belongs to the Second Prince alone."
Just like a little villain, it belongs only to her.
As he had to attend a banquet in the evening, Lu Cha separated from Qu Yueliu and the others and went back to the cold palace to wash up.
Nalan Ji seemed to have turned into a follower, never leaving his side.
Even when Lu Cha wanted to take a shower and change clothes, he would still wait outside the room, fearing that the woman he had been waiting for would run away again in the blink of an eye.
—
The hour of Hai.
There was singing and dancing in Tai'an Hall.
Lu Cha still attended the banquet dressed as Nalan Ji's maid, but this time she couldn't hide in the corner to eat and drink.
Because the old emperor moved Nalan Ji's seat below his.
Lu Cha and Chu Xiang had no choice but to stand obediently behind Nalan Ji.
The old emperor, who was sitting in the first seat, raised his glass and said to Qu Yueliu with a smile:
"A tiger father has a dog daughter. Miss Qu is worthy of being the daughter of General Qu. Her first time on the battlefield, she gave me such a big surprise."
"Not only did they defeat the Mo Kingdom, but they also conquered it."
Before returning to Beijing, Lu Cha pushed all the credit to Qu Yueliu and concealed the fact that she had been to the border.
The old emperor was narrow-minded and concerned about his reputation. If he knew that a lowly maid had gone to the battlefield, he would probably be unhappy.
Moreover, this move can also dispel the old emperor's suspicion of General Qu and he will no longer suspect that he wants to rebel.
After all, Qu Yueliu went to the border on behalf of Nalan Ji, which was equivalent to admitting that she was a member of the Second Prince's party.
Qu Yueliu responded to the old emperor in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "Your Majesty is too kind."
"If it weren't for the magic bag that the Second Prince gave Yue Liu, Yue Liu would have had difficulty completing this mission."
"The Second Prince was worried that the Mo Kingdom would counterattack, so before leaving, he gave Yue Liu three brocade bags containing ingenious strategies to deal with the Mo Kingdom."
Qu Yueliu lied without blushing, just to give most of the credit to Nalan Ji and help him win the favor of the old emperor.
As expected, the old emperor couldn't stop laughing because of Qu Yueliu's words: "I didn't expect that it was you, Ji'er, who was behind this."
"Ji'er, what reward do you want?"
Nalan Ji stood up and replied, "It is my duty as a son to share the worries of my father."
"I do not ask for any reward, I only hope that the followers who are traveling with me today can sit down and have a meal together to liven things up."
Today’s banquet includes many dishes that the little fox demon likes.
"I approve!"
The old emperor waved his hand and signaled the palace servants to prepare tables and chairs for his followers to sit on.
Immediately afterwards, the old emperor rewarded Qu Yueliu with a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry.
Qu Yueliu gladly accepted it and planned to send it all to Lu Cha after the banquet was over.
Nalan Ji ignored everyone's inquiring gazes and served Lu Cha food and drinks the whole time, with only the woman's bright face in his eyes.
The banquet slowly came to an end, and the drunk old emperor left the hall first.
After eating and drinking his fill, Lu Cha leaned back comfortably in his chair, his cheeks slightly flushed from drinking.
Nalan Ji spoke at the right time:
"Shall we go back?"
Lu Cha was about to agree when she suddenly caught sight of a light pink skirt.
