"What's going on?" he came over and asked in a low voice.
"Your Highness." Without saying a word, Concubine Zhou threw herself into Xiao Zhan's arms, crying like a pear blossom in the rain, which was very lovable.
It was as if the emotions that had been accumulated for a long time burst out in an instant, and tears soaked Xiao Zhan's clothes.
"Your Highness, you have to do justice for the Concubine. The Concubine originally wanted to be conferred a title and came to pay respects to the Princess, but she didn't expect that the Princess would take advantage of the Concubine's greeting and push her hard.
The Concubine stumbled and fell to the ground. Her hands were broken. Madam Cheng lifted Concubine Zhou's hand and showed Xiao Zhan the wound she had deliberately inflicted when she fell.
"Your Highness, it's not like that." Fu Dong was anxious to defend his master, but was interrupted by Xiao Zhan's words.
"Okay, stop talking." He looked down at Concubine Zhou in his arms, then looked at Jiang Xue thoughtfully.
He sighed softly, picked up Concubine Zhou's legs, and carried her horizontally: "I'll take her back to rest."
After leaving these words, he left the courtyard with the crying Concubine Zhou.
"Princess, His Highness..." Fu Dong widened her eyes in surprise. She saw Concubine Zhou had a smug smile on her face before she left.
His Highness actually didn't say a word, just hugged the woman and ran away? He didn't even give our princess a chance to defend herself? This is too outrageous, what kind of heresy did he believe in? Our princess used to be his favorite, when did he change his mind?
Princess Jiang Xue was like a block of ice at this moment, and she only uttered two words: "Go back to the house."
After saying that, he rushed into the room with Fudong and slammed the door, showing his determination.
Fu Dong was in a state of confusion, wondering what the princess was thinking. Why didn't she speak to His Highness? Concubine Zhou's trick was clearly her own fault, but she still tried to frame the princess.
Seeing the prince carrying the woman away, the princess did not stop them. She went back to her room with an indifferent look on her face. Does this princess really not care what the prince thinks of her?
"Fu Dong, what's the matter?" Jiang Xue noticed that Fu Dong was staring at her, so she put down the pen in her hand and turned to look at her.
"Princess, why don't you explain it to His Highness?" Fu Dong couldn't hold it in any longer and had to ask for clarification.
"There's nothing much to say." The princess replied lightly.
During this period, things happened one after another. Xiaochun lost her martial arts, married a concubine, and Liuli died. Each of these things weighed like a stone between her and Xiao Zhan, making the rift between them deeper and deeper.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see Concubine Zhou's little tricks, but His Highness still chose to carry the woman away. What else is there to talk about?
"Fudong, I'm planning to go to Beixi." Ever since she learned about Jiang Chen, she had been planning to go to Beixi to look for someone, but due to her status, her movements were restricted. So she had been waiting, waiting for the right opportunity.
"Princess, you are going to look for His Royal Highness the Prince, right?" Fu Dong knew clearly that the two siblings had a deep affection for each other.
"Well, not only my brother, I'm also concerned about my uncle." The war in Beixi has been going on for more than a month and there is no sign of abating.
Judging from the last aid operation, my brother should know that my uncle’s troops are stationed on the border. Logically, he should try his best to mediate and prevent the war from escalating.
But the intelligence from Linglong Pavilion said that the friction between the two sides was increasing, the fighting was becoming more intense, and it had even reached the point where the head of the other side's commander must be taken.
This matter made Jiang Xue feel unsure, and she had to go and take a look in person.
"But King Beiling will not let you go." The rules of Beiling are very strict. Noble ladies are not allowed to interfere in government affairs or leave Yujing at will.
Not to mention that the princess is still the nephew of the Qian Kingdom. How could the King of Beiling let her run to Beixi? Without this hostage, how could he explain to the Qian Kingdom? What if the people of the Qian Kingdom were angered and the Tieyun Army was attracted? With the current number of troops defending the city of Beiling, how could they stop the charge of 300,000 troops?
"I understand your concerns, Fudong." Jiang Xue's mind was as clear as a mirror. She originally wanted to talk to Xiao Zhan about this matter, but the recent mess made her think it's better to forget it.
This time, she planned to work alone. The only thing she could do now was to wait - wait for a godsend opportunity, a perfect time.
The master and servant sat in silence, and neither of them noticed a dark shadow flashing past Jiang Xue's window.
It was the middle of the night, the room was dark and eerily quiet.
Jiang Xue's door swayed slightly, and a figure slipped in silently, with a faint "creaking" sound coming out of the crack of the door.
The man crouched down, touched the edge of the screen where Jiang Xue was hanging clothes, reached out his hand and groped around, and finally found the target - the thing hidden in the sleeve.
After groping for a while, I finally grabbed something the size of a dice. In the dim light, I could only see that it was a square, similar to a dice, but I couldn't see clearly what it looked like.
"Is this the legendary exquisite dice?" Bai Mian muttered in a low voice, pinching the cube with his fingers. Suddenly, there was a "click", the mechanism was activated, and a golden needle shot out and hit Bai Mian's neck.
In an instant, a tingling sensation spread throughout his body. In less than a cup of tea, Baimian's legs and feet became weak, his true energy was locked, his eyelids drooped, and he fainted.
"Get him away." At this time, the room was brightly lit. Jiang Xue, dressed neatly, stood by the bed, staring coldly at the man lying on the ground, and gave orders in a firm tone.
Wow.
A basin of cold water was poured over Baimian's head, soaking him completely. His clothes stuck to his skin, outlining his figure.
"Awake?" Jiang Xue sat on the side and glanced at him.
"Cough cough." The water choked into his throat and Baiwan coughed heart-wrenchingly.
"Your face looks familiar, have we met somewhere before?"
Speaking of which, how could this man's hands be so slender and smooth? If I didn't look at his face, I would have thought they were girls' hands.
His eyes were very familiar as he stared at Jiang Xue. The image of Madam Chu flashed through her mind.
This woman was extremely alert. If she let out a little, her true identity would be exposed. Baimian pursed his lips tightly and said nothing to Jiang Xue's question, fearing that if he opened his mouth, Mrs. Chu's voice would reveal the truth.
"You won't say anything, right?" Seeing that he was as silent as a bottle, Jiang Xue's eyes were cold: "Mrs. Chu, do you think that if you cover your mouth, I won't recognize you?"
His identity was exposed, and Baimian's eyes almost popped out! His disguise skills were among the best in the Ten Kingdoms, so how could he be seen through by this woman at a glance?
"Why are you surprised? There's no need to be. No matter how good your disguise is, you can't hide the smell on your body."
Among her five senses, her nose was the most sensitive. Combined with the observation of his figure just now, guessing that he was Mrs. Chu was as easy as drinking cold water.
