Given their status as Consort Jia and Consort Jin, they should have lived on the third floor, but Shang Xiye arranged for them to live on the second floor.
Consort Jin was fine. Since secretly surrendering to Ji Fengyao, she had given up the thoughts that caused her pain and only wanted peace in the future. She had completely come to terms with it.
Consort Jia was furious. First, she witnessed the Ninth Prince kissing the bandit, and then she was assigned to a second-class room. As soon as she boarded the ship and entered the room, she was so angry that she vomited several mouthfuls of blood. She clutched her aching chest and her eyes turned red with hatred.
She sat panting on the cool couch by the window, hatred and tears welling up in her eyes, her teeth almost grinding to powder.
"Shang Xiye, what is it about me, Li Jiao, that makes me inferior to that bandit? If you could show me even a shred of sincerity, I would set aside our past grudges and wholeheartedly help you ascend to that supreme position. Why, why would you rather have a crude bandit than reciprocate my feelings even slightly? I refuse to accept it, I refuse to accept it, I refuse to accept it…!"
Seeing that Consort Jia remained silent, Qing Sang and Rong Ju were filled with hatred and wanted to go forward to persuade her, but Ting Lan shook her head at them.
A while later.
The ship shook slightly as it started moving.
Consort Jia, having just emerged slightly from her obsessive hatred and pain, asked in a hoarse voice, "Has there been any reply from Donglongmen? Did they say when they'll make their move?"
"Your Majesty, Donglongmen replied that they have investigated and found that the Prince's men are not easy to deal with. The imperial entourage is accompanied by extremely tight security, and it would be easy to be exposed if they acted on the water. They will wait until the ship docks at Tongyou before making their move," Qing Sang answered carefully in a low voice.
Consort Jia gently patted her heavy chest and nodded: "It seems that the Eastern Dragon Gate is indeed cautious in its actions, which is as it should be. Then let that vile woman live a few more days. When she reaches the Tongyou realm, when her head is separated from her body, I will see how arrogant she still is!"
Third floor.
It was the first time that Xi Que had ever been on such a large ship. He excitedly circled around Ji Fengyao, looking around and shouting, "Miss, look there! There's a tower on that mountaintop, it's so tall!"
"Miss, look quickly! Those row of multi-story ships on the shore look so strange. The bottom two decks have many small square holes."
"Miss, there's also that..."
Ji Fengyao: "..."
No wonder the host named this girl "Mickey," she really is very talkative.
However, the row of well-equipped warships was somewhat unexpected for Ji Fengyao. This showed that the navy of the Great Zhao was not to be underestimated, no wonder it could attract tribute from all directions.
While Ji Fengyao went into the room to bathe and change clothes.
Sitting in the outer room, Shang Xiye suddenly looked up and used a secret telepathic technique to ask Wuying, "Have you found out who the Princess Consort's spies and insiders are?"
Wuying nodded and replied using a secret telepathic technique, "I found out. There are a few, but I didn't bring them with me."
"The ones that aren't conspicuous, have them dealt with first. As for the ones that are conspicuous, when we get back, we'll find an opportunity to remind the Princess Consort to get rid of them as soon as possible." Shang Xiye held the teacup in her hand, turning it back and forth, but didn't drink the tea.
Those people really do find a way in and are everywhere.
He used to not care about this life full of crises, but now he has to be careful. He can't afford to be careless in the slightest and can't let those people hurt the little bandit girl in the slightest.
"Your Highness," Wu Shang's voice came from the shadows: "On the way here, I noticed several groups of unidentified people following us. It seems they are mostly after our manor."
"Go and investigate first, find out who they are. If they're after the Princess, kill them without mercy." Shang Xiye put down his teacup, his voice low and devoid of any emotion, yet it sent chills down one's spine.
