Her Highness Doesn’t Want to Work Hard Anymore

The emperor ordered people to pass down the order to dispatch 30,000 horses from Hedong County and Hanoi County to Shangjing to quell the chaos.

It would take two days at the fastest to rush from the two counties to Shangjing.

Before that, the emperor needs to send someone to take the lead.

The first person he thought of was King Zhao Li Ji.

Li Ji was called before the emperor.

"What is His Majesty's order?"

The emperor roughly talked about Dongyang King's rebellion, and put the last metal token in front of Li Ji.

"This is the Flying Dragon Token, you can command the entire Flying Dragon Knight with it."

Li Ji took the token with both hands: "What do you want me to do?"

Emperor: "Aren't you in charge of the Tiger Roaring Camp? You find a way to contact Bian Ziming, cooperate with him internally and externally, and work together to break the city."

"Here."

The emperor coughed lightly: "You go first, and I will arrive later."

Li Ji resigned and left.

He returned to his residence, and just after changing his clothes, he heard that a scout from the Tiger Roaring Camp had come outside, yelling that he had something very important to see King Zhao.

Li Ji: "Bring people here."

Soon the scout was brought in front of King Zhao.

The scout knelt on one knee and opened his mouth.

"My lord, news came out from the Duke Zhen's mansion early this morning that Princess Zhao was taken away by the people in the palace. I'm afraid it's more or less ominous."

Li Ji's expression changed drastically: "What did you say?"

The scout pulled out a confidential letter from his pocket: "This is a letter that General Bian asked his subordinates to give to the prince."

Li Ji took the secret letter, quickly opened it, and read the letter at a glance.

In his letter, Bian Ziming mentioned the Dongyang King's rebellion, and the Dongyang King also sent someone to contact Bian Ziming, wanting Bian Ziming to surrender, but Bian Ziming made excuses to evade it.

After Princess Zhao was taken away, King Dongyang sent someone to talk to Bian Ziming again.

This time Dongyang King's attitude became very tough.

He said that if Huxiaoying did not surrender, he would use the blood of Princess Zhao to sacrifice the flag.

Bian Ziming didn't know what to do, and hoped that His Royal Highness King Zhao could give instructions.

Li Ji tore the letter paper into pieces.

As soon as he threw it away, the pieces of paper fell down one after another.

It's like snow falling.

Li Ji's eyes are colder than ice and snow.

Chen Wangbei looked terrified.

He asked cautiously, "Shall we go back now?"

"My king's concubines have all been arrested, so of course I want to go back."

Li Ji pinned the sword around his waist, and strode out.

Chen Wangbei followed quickly: "What if the other party jumps over the wall in a hurry and hurts the princess?"

Li Ji grabbed the reins, stepped forward with his long legs, and got on the horse.

He glanced at Chen Wangbei condescendingly, and said coldly.

"With this king here, no one can hurt her."

When the words fell, he flicked the reins.

The steed under him immediately rushed out like an arrow flying off the string.

Two thousand flying dragon riders followed closely behind.

It rained heavily yesterday, and today's mountain road is extremely wet and slippery. The horse's hooves trampled over quickly, splashing high muddy water.

...

In Chaoyang Palace.

Hua Qingqing wrung out the handkerchief and prepared to wipe the bed clean.

This way they also have a place to sit and rest.

While wiping the inside of the bed, Hua Qingqing accidentally discovered a hidden compartment.

She took out a rusty iron box from the dark compartment.

Hua Manman couldn't help asking: "What is that?"

"Open it and have a look." Hua Qingqing put the iron box on the bed.

Probably because it has been placed for too long, a lot of rust has formed on the surface of the iron box, and even the lock hanging on the iron box has been rusted.

With a little force, Hua Qingqing forcibly pulled the lock off.

Open the tin box and there are two things inside.

A handkerchief, a token.

Hua Qingqing picked up the handkerchief and token and looked at them.

It was originally a white handkerchief, but now it has turned yellow, without any patterns on it, and it looks like an ordinary handkerchief.

I don't know what kind of metal material the token is made of, but it feels heavy and cold in the hand.

After all these years there is still no trace of rust.

On the front of the token, the word Xuanjia is engraved, while the back is engraved with the sun, moon and stars.

Hua Manman's gaze stayed on the word "Xuanjia".

In the original text of "Gong Mou", it was mentioned that Li Ji was raising a Xuanjia army, but that was after Li Ji became the regent.

But now Li Ji is still only King Zhao, so it stands to reason that the Xuanjia Army should not have formed yet.

Why did the Xuanjia Token appear here?

Hua Qingqing noticed the gaze of the second sister and took the initiative to hand over the token.

"You know this thing?"

Hua Manman pouted: "I don't know this kind of dirty thing."

Hua Qingqing knew that the second sister was being duplicity again.

She directly wrapped the token with the yellowed veil and stuffed it into Hua Manman's sleeve.

"Since you know this thing, take it away, maybe you can help them find the real owner."

Hua Manman snorted, looking very disdainful.

But in the end no words of rejection were spoken.

She wanted to send the Xuanjia Token to King Zhao, and King Zhao might know its origin.

Hua Qingqing continued cleaning.

Soon the bed was wiped clean.

She took off her coat, spread it on the bed, and gently put the Seventh Prince on it.

In this way, they finally don't have to hug the Seventh Prince all the time, and they can sit and rest for a while.

It was already daylight.

Hua Manman clutched her stomach and began to miss fried chicken and hot pot.

The more you think about it, the hungrier you get, the more you get hungry, the more you think about it,

Just when she was so hungry that she couldn't stand it, there was a sudden shout outside.

"Someone is delivering food!"

As soon as Hua Manman heard the word rice, his whole body instantly perked up.

She jumped up and rushed out as fast as she could.

In the main hall stood two strong eunuchs, and in front of them was a basket full of steamed buns.

They are distributing steamed buns to concubines and princes and princesses.

How can these noble people who are pampered and pampered on weekdays be able to eat such rough food?

Someone couldn't help asking: "Is there nothing else to eat? Let us eat steamed buns?"

The eunuch in charge of distributing the food said coldly.

"If you don't want to eat, you don't have to."

Hua Manman squeezed to the front in no time, and she stretched out her hand to the eunuch.

"I want to eat! Give me two... no, four steamed buns!"

The eunuch had been specially instructed, and knowing that this was Princess Zhao, he immediately pushed her away and said forcefully.

"The concubine Xian said that she can't give you food."

Hua Manman was angry: "Why don't you give me something to eat?"

Eunuch: "The servants don't know either, anyway, that's what the concubine Xian ordered."

Hua Manman wanted to snatch it, but before his hand touched the steamed bun, two Habayashi Weiyi grabbed his arms from left to right and dragged him out forcibly.

In the end, she could only watch helplessly as the others went to get the steamed buns, but she alone had nothing to eat.

Hua Manman looked at the white flour steamed buns that those people held in their hands, her eyes turned green with envy.

She really wants to eat steamed buns too!
