The demon concubine of rebirth, you have been tricked by gl

The convoy escorting the princess and the concubine headed for Yanfei City in a mighty way, but compared to the rush of the time, on the way back, the convoy was slow, and not far away was the grandfather who was carrying a basket on his back to gather medicine. Grandson, all caught up with the convoy.

On the carriage, Yan Wanting, dressed in green, was lying sideways on the brocade couch in the carriage. She opened her eyes and looked at Xia Qiulian who was sleeping soundly beside her.

Even though she was sleeping soundly, Xia Qiulian still couldn't hide the tiredness on her face, frowning slightly from time to time because of the bumping of the carriage.

Yan Wanting stretched out his hand to lightly brush her frowning brows, carefully placed a kiss on her forehead, then got up quietly, and walked to the car door.

Pushing open the carved lacquered wooden door, Yan Wanting poked his head and saw A Su sitting on the carriage frame, and said a little displeased.

"It's too bumpy, send an order to go down, and go slower."

A few cold sweats broke out on A Su's forehead, she was really powerless to Yan Wanting's order, this carriage is now so slow that ordinary people can catch up with it on foot, it could have arrived in the capital in three days, if it slows down at this speed, I'm afraid I won't be back in the capital for five days.

"Your Highness, the general said that we can't go any further. If we wait until dark, we won't be able to reach Zhu County. It's not safe to drive at night, and we can't let His Highness rest in the carriage, right?"

Yan Wanting turned his head to look at Xia Qiulian who was lying on the couch, saw her body move slightly, as if she was about to wake up, so she said a word and went in.

"It's not the first time for Ben Gong to rest on the carriage, why not, you just go and order them to slow down."

After finishing speaking, he closed the door, and A Su, who was left with a sad face, jumped out of the carriage to go to the leading general to convey Yan Banting's order.

Yan Wanting walked to the side of the bed lightly, and Xia Qiulian opened his eyes.

Seeing that she was awake, Yan Wanting sat beside her, smiled and stretched out his hand to lift a strand of hair hanging by Xia Qiulian's ear, and said softly.

"But I was talking too loud just now and woke you up, or was the carriage too bumpy?"

Xia Qiulian's face was pale and tired, she sat up, leaned slightly sideways on Yan Banting's shoulder, and said in a low voice.

"No, I just had a dream and woke up with a start."

Yan Wanting embraced her, and kissed the corner of her eyes with some distress.

"But a nightmare?"

Xia Qiulian shook her head, her face was a little worried.

"I just dreamed about my old days in Jiangguo, and thought of my father and mother. When I woke up, I didn't know where I was."

Yan Wanting knew that Xia Qiulian was missing her parents and sisters, so she hugged her and stroked her back comfortingly, her brows and eyes were full of tenderness.

"Qiu Lian, I will get rid of Jiang Xunyan in the future. Every year, when Yan Country enters winter, I will follow you to Jiang Country. When the snow melts in spring, you will come back to Yan Country with me. That would be great."

"it is good."

Xia Qiulian rested her pillow on Yan Banting's shoulder, and softly said hello, but the melancholy on her face didn't lessen a bit.

His father has always supported the eldest prince and advocated weakening the military power in the hands of the second prince. He even made an admonition like the emperor and designated Linzhou as the second prince's fiefdom.

Everyone in Jiang country knows that Linzhou is such a barren land, close to the border desert, and there are a group of barbaric nomads nearby, who go to Linzhou to burn, kill and loot from time to time.

Jiang Xunyan was dissatisfied with his father's request for a long time, and then the eldest prince and Jiang Xunyan fought more and more fiercely, and his father also openly had disputes with Jiang Xunyan in the court several times.

In the past, both the emperor and the first prince were there, and they respected their father, so Jiang Xunyan didn't dare to do anything to him.

Now that the emperor has passed away, the eldest prince has also lost. He has become a father-killer and usurped the throne.

Xia Qiulian had written several letters home, advising his father not to offend Jiang Xunyan so thoroughly, but his father never listened.

Even though Xia Qiulian knew that Jiang Xunyan had only seized the imperial power now, in order to stabilize the imperial court, it was impossible for him to attack his highly respected father so quickly.

But his father was an upright man with a strong temper, so he definitely refused to give in to Jiang Xunyan, for fear of offending Jiang Xunyan, he would really attack his father without any scruples.

Xia Qiulian didn't tell Yan Wanting about the worries in his heart, but he begged Cao Yi to send a letter from home to his father, and hoped that after he arrived in Jiang Country, he could persuade his father to be patient for a while.

In order to ensure a smooth arrival at the post station before dark, the general escorting the convoy ordered to stop and specifically asked Yan Banting to see her, hoping to persuade her to let the convoy speed up.

Yan Wanting told Xia Qiulian to rest well, and got out of the carriage.

Xia Qiulian sighed softly, sitting on the couch, she was not in the mood to continue resting, so she got up and sat up.

She could vaguely hear Yan Wanting's voice outside the car, as if ordering the general to take a shortcut and hurry with his cold words.

A Su and the general turned pale from being frightened by Yan Wanting's decision, and they both exclaimed in unison.

"Your Highness, this is absolutely unacceptable."

Yan Wanting waved his sleeves.

"Why can't I just take a shortcut and go around two hills?"

The general knelt down on one knee, and earnestly hoped that Yan Banting would take back his order.

"Your Highness, there have been rumors of bandit riots on the two hills in front of us years ago. The magistrate of Zhu County even asked to lead his troops to suppress the bandits in the mountains. If we take a shortcut, I'm afraid we will bump into those daring robbers on the road. Those reckless people startled His Highness and Concubine Xian, and they may not be able to atone for their crimes even with ten heads."

Yan Wanting frowned, a cold light flashed in her eyes, she snorted coldly.

"Two counties away from Zhu County is the capital city, but a hundred miles away, there are still bandits on this hill. Should I laugh at these reckless and reckless actions, or should I laugh at you officials for negligence of duty?"

The general was taken aback for a moment, with a look of shame on his face, and he couldn't say anything for a long time.

"This..."

"If you want to rush to Zhuxian County before dark, if you take the official route, you may not be able to catch up even if you hurry up, so you can take a shortcut according to my orders. I really want to run into these daring bandits, so ask Ask them what kind of grievances they have, and they will fall into bandits."

Seeing that the general was speechless, Yan Wanting didn't put any pressure on him, and just waved his hand and got into the car.

Seeing that Yan Wanting had made up his mind, the general and A Su had no choice but to look at each other with worry in their eyes.

Your Royal Highness, I'm afraid they are going to take them up the mountain to suppress the bandits.

As soon as Yan Wanting got into the carriage, the coldness on his face subsided instantly, and he changed into an angry look, looking at Xia Qiulian with his hips crossed and frowning.

"I'm furious."

Xia Qiulian sat at the table, straightened out some messy clothes, glanced at Yan Wanting with an angry face, twitched the corners of her lips, and said softly.

"You, you are clearly looking for trouble."

Yan Wanting snorted dissatisfiedly, went to sit down opposite Xia Qiulian, and looked at her with resentment.

"Lian'er, it's fine if you don't comfort me, and you still say that."

Seeing that Yan Banting was about to throw a temper tantrum, Xia Qiulian said sternly.

"Are you really going to go up the mountain to suppress the bandits?"

Yan Wanting frowned and nodded.

"There are bandits infested hundreds of miles away from the capital of the Yan Kingdom. They have been suppressed once and for all and they have been allowed to do harm. If this news gets out, I'm afraid it won't make others laugh at my incompetence in the Yan Kingdom."

Knowing that Yan Wanting wanted to pass by this time, Xia Qiulian simply wiped out the troubles on the top of the mountain, but he went up the mountain recklessly without any preparation, which was a bit inconsiderate.

"I know what you're thinking, it's just that we didn't know the terrain and went up in such a hurry, fearing that we would underestimate the enemy and fall into the trap of those grass bandits. Why don't we take the official road and rush to Zhu County overnight, and the magistrate of Zhu County After discussing it, it will not be too late to go up the mountain to suppress the bandits."

Yan Wanting seemed a little arrogant today, she waved her hand indifferently, full of confidence.

"Don't be afraid, it's just a nest of recklessness. I don't believe that these hundreds of elite soldiers can't handle a nest of bandits."

Xia Qiulian frowned, and wanted to persuade her again.

"only...."

Yan Wanting interrupted her, and wrapped her eyes around Xia Qiulian's waist with her hands from behind, and sprayed her ambiguous breath on her neck.

"No, just don't worry. If you think about it so much, why don't we be gentle."
