Chapter 221 220 Alright, My Highness

The four ears came in a hurry but as expected, "Girl, our host is here to invite you."

Si Er is also considered to be acquainted with Gu Aman. When this girl was on the river, she was affectionately called a lady by their landlord.

There are two mustaches on the four ears, and the small eyes are rolling around. Maybe he should not call the other girl, but should call Madam?
"Cao Baifeng is here too?"

Gu Aman was quite surprised. She thought that as the landlord, he would hand over this kind of matter to his subordinates, but she didn't expect to come here in person.

"Where are the others?"

Four Ears led the way like a skinny mouse that had suffered a lot, and it didn't take long to come to a heavily guarded yard.

Si Er made a gesture of invitation to Gu Aman, then stepped aside without speaking, apparently to let Gu Aman in.

Gu Aman stepped up the steps, opened the curtain, and the first thing he smelled was the smell of soup and medicine.

There is a stove in the room, and Cao Baifeng slowly cooks the soup with a small fan, just like the countless days and nights on the fishing boat when he boiled milky white fish soup for her.

When Gu Aman came in, he seemed to have dozed off, the sound of footsteps disturbed him, and he saw Gu Aman waving a burning fan to call her over.

"Why did you come here in person this time?"

Cao Baifeng still looks like a wandering wild crane, he hasn't seen him for a long time, his hair is still messed up, he looks unkempt, but he is a young man with a relaxed face.

Cao Baifeng smiled casually, "The lady is here, so the husband will naturally come after her."

Gu Aman was not annoyed, "What time is it, and you are still joking with me."

She cut to the chase, "Liu Yuan has told you already, this time, I'm here to help you."

Cao Baifeng was cooking the soup on the stove, and the soup was gurgling against the lid, but he still fanned it leisurely, "I did discuss with him, but the person I discussed with is not you."

Cao Baifeng looked at her, "Aman, why did you come here?"

Facing Cao Baifeng, Gu Aman couldn't use the same set of excuses he used to prevaricate Liu Xuanzhi before.

"Baifeng, I have no choice."

Gu Aman looked at him, and smiled slightly, "Take me to see our princess."

Cao Baifeng didn't move, he used a handkerchief to support the medicine pot on the stove, tilted it into the small white jade bowl next to it, the bitter taste of the soup immediately occupied all the senses.

He took Gu Aman to the back room, where there was a hole in the sky, red hydrangea balls, small saddles, pearl pills scattered on the ground, and in the emerald curtain hanging down beside it, lay the princess of Zhaoguo who came from afar.

Thick and curly eyelashes, snow-white skin, light brown long hair, trapped in a soft quilt, light-colored pouty lips, soft and fragile.

"This is Princess Qiang Yue?"

Gu Aman thought that the Princess of Zhao Kingdom and his relatives were at least ready to marry, but in fact, the Princess of Zhao Kingdom looked a little older than the emperor's eldest Sun Qiming.

Is the King of Zhao Kingdom crazy for sending a princess of this age here?

All of Gu Aman's expressions were written on his face, and Cao Baifeng wanted to laugh when he saw it, "Don't be confused by his appearance, these days, she has tortured the people in the Hell Prison and the Truth Listening Tower enough. Those who still want to find a daughter-in-law have decided to be alone for the rest of their lives just because of her."

The golden and precious young princess can't be blown by the wind, can't be drenched by the rain, can't be angry, and can't say no.

The long-planned peace between the two countries has become a tossing meeting with children.

A group of Wei elites honed by iron and blood, and a young princess from a foreign country, these average ages can be her father's guards, and they were almost tossed to death by him.

Gu Aman raised his eyebrows, so powerful?

But soon she encountered a difficulty, "If she was around my age, I could still pretend to be her. She is so young, if I still like to ask you to discuss what to do, wouldn't it be seen through at a glance?"

"Through the way, not many people have seen her except those who took care of her personally. We are all like this, let alone the group of wilderness people."

Compared to this, Cao Baifeng cared about other things, "You have to think clearly, if you stay as bait, you will face endless assassinations in the wasteland." He paused, "Maybe there are others."

There are too many people who don't want Zhaoguo and Wei to get married.

Finally, Cao Baifeng said casually, "Do you know who we agreed on before you?"

"Who?"

"Ji Xuewei."

Cao Baifeng didn't call Ji Xuewei Emperor Ji, but called her by her first name. When he said this, there was no respect on his face, and he was even slightly displeased.

"I don't need to tell you, you know how caring that Mrs. Ru is, I just remind you, don't become a tool to please others just because of a momentary mood."

Cao Baifeng's words were vicious and straightforward, and he almost nailed "Liu Yuan is not a good thing" to the gate of Liu Mansion.

Ji Xuewei had stayed in Zhaoguo, and she was fluent in etiquette, customs, and words, not to mention that she and Princess Zhaoguo had known each other for a long time, and it was easy to imitate each other.

This is why Cao Baifeng chose Ji Xuewei, but Liu Yuan chose Gu Aman.

For Cao Baifeng, he, Liu Yuan, is the scum that leads people astray, and Gu Aman is the innocent and pitiful blindfolded.

At this time, he was still willing to give Xiaopoor another chance to refuse.

Gu Aman stood there for a long time, she lowered her head, quietly looking at the thick carpet under her feet.The lonely appearance seems to be out of tune with everything around him.

It seems that only a moment has passed, sometimes it seems that several hours have passed.

Gu Aman's expression when he thought of Liu Yuan entrusting him with a heavy responsibility.

"Must it be me?"

"Can you not go? Second uncle?"

How could she not know the danger, and how could she be willing to step into this muddy water.

She used to really think that Liu Yuan asked her to come here because she trusted Gu Aman, but now, she suddenly heard the truth about what Cao Baifeng said.

Gu Aman's scarlet lips were tightly pursed into a line, and his heartbeat was very slow, as if choked, causing sore pain.

"Being a man can't be broken."

Gu Aman heard himself say, "Since I promised, I should do it, besides..."

She saw Liu Xuanzhi alive and kicking here.

Also here he met Cao Baifeng who advised him kindly.

She raised her head and smiled at Cao Baifeng, "There's nothing wrong with being a princess."

Gu Aman picked up the red hydrangea on the ground and twirled it lightly on his fingertips, "I have never been a princess when I grow up, unfortunately, I am not good at this, Lord Baifeng, would you help me?"

Cao Baifeng looked at her, and smiled suddenly for a long time, he always looked messed up, but suddenly he saluted Gu Aman seriously.

"Okay, my lord..."
