Chapter 157 Borrowing the East Wind

The maid raised her hand and opened the door.

A cold wind blows into the room.

Chai Sujin shivered and turned her face sideways.

"You..." Princess Chu stood at the door, tightened her cloak around her shoulders, and frowned slightly, "Why do you look so familiar?"

Chai Sujin squinted at her and thought for a moment, "Princess Chu?"

Hearing her voice, Princess Chu opened her mouth in astonishment, "Are you that imperial doctor?!"

Chai Sujin frowned, "Why is the princess here?"

"Are you asking me? I haven't asked you why you went to the post house to check my pulse in a man's disguise, but you asked first? No wonder you looked at An Guohou with unusual eyes that day. It turned out to be a little girl!" Chu Chu The princess of the country snorted coldly, "That day, I thought you were effeminate, and I thought you had broken sleeves... Oh, it turns out that you are a fake man!"

Chai Sujin frowned, looking displeased, "What exactly does Princess Chu want to say?"

"It's nothing, I just want to see what treasures Master Hou has hidden here, so she is really a little lady." Princess Chu sneered.

The maid beside her snorted, and said in a low voice: "This girl has a good face, and she is treated so differently by the Marquis at such a young age. She will definitely become a big obstacle for the princess in the future. Why don't you take this opportunity to get rid of this trouble?"

Chai Sujin tensed her back, "What do you want to do?"

Princess Chu shook her head, "This is stupid. If he has this little girl in his heart, and I kill her, it will inevitably appear that I am narrow-minded, vicious and jealous. He can only stay away from me. How can I Put your heart on me?"

"Then you can't put such a big disaster on the side of Lord Hou?" The maid looked at Chai Sujin and said in a low voice.

Princess Chu shook her head, "She's not a problem yet, let's go."

"Wait a minute." Seeing Princess Chu turn around, Chai Sujin called immediately.

Princess Chu looked at her in surprise, "Do you have something to say?"

Chai Sujin squinted at her, "Do you want to grasp the heart of An Guohou so that you can win more benefits for Chu State in the matter of Zhou Chu's marriage?"

Princess Chu smiled, but remained silent.

"An Guohou is deeply trusted by the Holy Majesty and the Crown Prince, and holds power in his hands. Your idea is indeed good." Chai Sujin said slowly, "But a man's heart is not so easy to fathom."

"You are so young, you are not ashamed at all when you talk about a man's heart?" Princess Chu couldn't help sarcastically, seeing her extraordinary demeanor.

Chai Sujin smiled, "We are all women, now we might as well open the skylight and talk about brightening, it's just a waste of time for you and me to go round and round."

"What do you want to say?" Princess Chu asked.

Chai Sujin sighed, "Do you know why An Guohou wanted to imprison me here?"

"Imprisoned?" Princess Chu was taken aback.

Chai Sujin nodded with a light smile, "Could it be that the princess thinks that the people guarding the outside are just to prevent others from entering and leaving? It's just to prevent me from escaping."

Princess Chu and the maid looked at each other, and the maid quickly ran to the window, closed the window, and guarded the door, taking care not to let anyone approach.

Princess Chu nodded at Chai Sujin, "Tell me, what's going on?"

"Actually, it's easy to say. The princess should have heard that An Guohou had a very deep relationship with the late princess. Qin Se and Ming raised their eyebrows together. When the princess was alive, An Guohou obeyed her in everything because she was not close to women. Even if the princess If he wants the stars in the sky, he will also build a ladder for the princess to pick them up." Chai Sujin said while watching the face of Princess Chu.

The Princess of Chu blushed slightly, and nodded repeatedly, "Before I left Chu, I asked someone to inquire about it, and it is true, that's why I am willing to go far away..."

Chai Sujin hooked the corners of her lips, "It's true that An Guohou is infatuated, because he is infatuated with the princess. He heard others say that I look like the princess back then, so he captured me and imprisoned me here. He even used magic to turn me into a princess." The appearance of the princess back then..."

"what?!"

Chai Sujin's words were half-truth and half-false, and Princess Chu was shocked immediately.

"I don't know if this sorcery is so miraculous, but I dare not take such a big risk. Maybe if the sorcery fails, I will die. Even if the sorcery works, who wants to be the shadow of others for the rest of their lives? A substitute for someone else?" Chai Sujin said in a painful voice, covering her heart.

Princess Chu looked at her with a little sympathy in her eyes.

Chai Sujin followed up and said: "The princess thinks that An Guohou is a wishful gentleman, but I think An Guohou is a life-threatening Yan Luo! I'm afraid he will do it one day and turn me into the dead princess...I... ..."

She trembled as she spoke, with a more frightened expression on her face, as if she had been terribly frightened.

The princess of Chu State was skeptical, "I have never heard of such magic in the world."

"That's why I'm afraid!" Chai Sujin said, "The princess thinks I'm in the way, so I wish I could run far away!"

These words reached Princess Chu's heart, but she was not stupid, "Don't expect me to let you out, if Lord Hou knows that I let you go, wouldn't he want to hate me for the rest of his life?"

Chai Sujin quickly shook her head, "I don't dare to implicate the princess, but I have a way, not only not to implicate the princess, but also to remove me from between the princess and Lord Marquis."

Princess Chu squinted at her vigilantly.

Chai Sujin said hastily: "The purpose of the princess is to win a man's heart, but I am in order to protect myself, for my own life!"

Princess Chu frowned and thought for a moment. It was clear to whom this matter was more critical.

"What good strategy do you have? Let me hear it?" Princess Chu raised her eyebrows and asked.

Chai Sujin moved closer to her ear and whispered in a low voice.

Half an hour later, Princess Chu left with a smile. No one else knew what they were doing in the house, but the princess's eyes were full of satisfaction.

When Zhao Yuanzhen woke up the next day, he suddenly found that the token that he often hung around his waist was missing.

The entourage around him said that the maid of the princess of Chu came early in the morning to return the token.

"The token is in her hand?" Zhao Yuanzhen asked coldly, "What did she do with the token?"

"Princess Chu visited Miss Chai last night." The entourage reported back.

Zhao Yuanzhen got up abruptly, "Who told her to go in, didn't they have already ordered that no one should come near that courtyard?"

"Reporting to Lord Hou, you slept soundly last night, they quietly came to ask what you mean, but they couldn't wake you up..." The attendant replied quickly.

Zhao Yuanzhen snorted coldly, remembering the meal last night, "You really can't underestimate women, maybe at some point, they will make you suffer."

"But Lord Hou, don't worry, she took the maid and only stayed in the courtyard for a while before leaving." The attendant replied.

Zhao Yuanzhen took a deep breath, "Strengthen precautions, don't let her hurt Miss Chai, let alone let Miss Chai take the opportunity to leave."

"Don't worry, Lord Hou." The attendant responded quickly.

After Princess Chu met Chai Sujin, she never went to that courtyard again.

Chai Sujin was also quiet, and still hadn't made a fuss.

As if nothing had happened, Zhao Yuanzhen's worries seemed superfluous.

But that day when he happened to be at home, the prince suddenly sent people to surround An Guohou's mansion.

When the servant reported, Zhao Yuanzhen couldn't even believe it, "The crown prince sent people to surround the Hou's mansion?"

The servant quickly nodded, sweating on his forehead and said: "Exactly, the prince's ministers who came here said that as long as Lord Hou handed over people, he would withdraw his troops, as long as nothing happened. If he refused to hand over people, it would be... that is Rebellion..."

Zhao Yuanzhen snorted coldly, "Treason? At this juncture, there is really no way out for the crime of treason. Who does the Crown Prince want? Why do you say that he is above my Marquis?"

"The prince's close minister said that she is a woman and a doctor." Jia Ding replied tremblingly.

Zhao Yuanzhen's face turned cold, and he turned to look at the attendants beside him, "When did Princess Chu leave the mansion?"

The follower shook his head quickly, "Never!"

"Have you ever seen any outsiders?" Zhao Yuanzhen asked again.

The attendant shook his head like a rattle drum, "No, no, absolutely no."

Zhao Yuanzhen narrowed his eyes.

"Oh, by the way, yesterday the Princess of Chu State had a courtship with the Crown Prince, and thanked the Crown Prince for arranging her to live in the Hou's Mansion, for protecting her well..."

Before the entourage finished speaking, Zhao Yuanzhen's expression changed.

"However, the letter was submitted by someone in the Hou's residence. This subordinate has personally checked it. There is nothing wrong with the letter. This subordinate has even considered hiding the beginning and the end. There is no abnormality." The attendant said quickly.

Zhao Yuanzhen snorted coldly, "Isn't it too late to say this now? She is really smart, and locking her up won't make her give up!"

As he spoke, he suddenly got up and went to the layman.

The entourage was slightly taken aback, not understanding how many girls Hou Ye had mentioned, was it Miss Chai or Princess Chu?

Zhao Yuanzhen came to the gate of the Hou Mansion in person, and the Hou Mansion was surrounded by groups.
