Chapter 168
"It's fine if the prince refuses to answer, why bother to be so sarcastic?" Chai Sujin looked indifferent.

The prince waved his hands and smiled, "Forget it, I won't tease you anymore, what can I ask for? If you can, I will answer you."

"Brother Xuan is not young anymore, it is not appropriate to live in the East Palace all the time, and he is now at the age when he is learning things, he has worshiped Ma Wei as his teacher at home. I beg the prince to let him go out of the palace and continue Follow Ma Wei to learn martial arts." Chai Sujin said with downcast eyes.

Hearing this, the prince frowned slightly, "It's not a big deal at all. Letting them live here alone doesn't mean to threaten you. It's just to protect them. Your request is reasonable and Ma Wei is a master. Good stuff."

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness," Chai Sujin said.

The prince shook his head, "It's just that the timing is bad."

Chai Sujin narrowed her eyes slightly, "Why is the timing bad?"

"Ma Wei is about to leave the capital." The crown prince smiled, "Brother Xuan followed him to leave the capital. Thinking about it, you will be even more worried? He is not going out to play, but he has an important position to go to war .”

"Let's go to war?" Chai Sujin repeated, her heart skipped a beat.

"Exactly, Gu has already married the princess of Chu State, and the marriage has been completed. But at this time, Shu State invaded the territory of Chu State, wouldn't it be a provocation to my Great Zhou? Chu State asked for help, how could my Great Zhou ignore it?" The prince proudly Said.

"Why is Ma Wei the leader? Does Your Highness have any other candidates?" Chai Sujin asked.

The prince smiled, "I have a lot of talents in the Zhou Dynasty, how come there is no other candidate? They are all iron-blooded men who have learned a lot of skills. Who doesn't want to go to the battlefield in person, fight for the country, and become a marquis and worship minister? Ma Weisu is a self-recommendation went."

Chai Sujin bowed his head slightly, of course he would recommend himself to go.

He approached the prince, planned for the prince's trust, and worked for the prince. This is what he was looking for, right?Let him lead his troops back to Chu State, and use the troops of Da Zhou to regain his father's position and the throne that should have belonged to him.

His step by step is really precise.

Now is just the right opportunity, he is a close minister of the crown prince, if someone else is sent, it will be the royal father's team.

The prince naturally hopes that the people around him can make military exploits, this is another achievement for him to secure the throne.

"The rate of Ma Wei is not suitable for leading troops." Chai Sujin said suddenly.

The prince's eyes fell on her meaningfully, "Why is it not suitable?"

"His origin is unknown, maybe he is not from my Great Zhou." Chai Sujin frowned, "When I rescued him in Fangcheng, he was covered in blood and almost breathless, which shows that his identity is not simple."

The prince frowned, "There is such a thing, isn't he from Fangcheng?"

Chai Sujin nodded repeatedly, "So, His Highness needs to be cautious about this matter, lest he recommend himself to go, and his intentions are not pure."

The prince looked deeply at Chai Sujin, "Why didn't you mention his background before?"

"I don't know his origin very well, but all the way from Fangcheng, he has taken care of and protected my siblings, which can be regarded as a kindness. If he can be reused by the crown prince, His Royal Highness will trust him and treat my siblings well." It's not without benefits." Chai Sujin said slowly, "But now it's a matter of great importance to the country and the stability and safety of the court, so I can no longer hide it."

The prince nodded slightly, "It's a coincidence that you told Gu this time."

"If His Royal Highness doesn't believe me, you can check whether my statement is true." Chai Sujin said with downcast eyes.

"Gu will ask someone to investigate, it's fine if others have selfishness, as long as you have no selfishness towards Gu." The prince said with a smile.

Seeing that her goal had been achieved, Chai Sujin bid farewell and left the East Palace.

The prince didn't force it, he seemed to like this feeling of inseparability.

Chai Sujin didn't even bother to look at brother Xuan, and went back to her palace.

It was just that in the evening, just as she was leaving the holy palace, she met a strange little palace man.

The little palace man came to her to salute and say hello, and kept winking at her.

Chai Sujin didn't know him, so it was a bit inexplicable.

But seeing that it seemed inconvenient for him to speak, he dismissed the people around him, "What do you have to say? Such frequent winks?"

"Reporting to the princess, there is someone waiting for you in the peach blossom forest outside the palace gate, and wants to see you." The palace man whispered.

"Who wants to see me?" Chai Sujin asked.

The palace man glanced at her, and quickly lowered his head, "He said, it was to bid farewell to the princess. We have been together for so long, and now we are going to part suddenly. Even though we cannot see each other often in the capital, we are in the same world after all. Now we have to separate the two places, and I don’t know when we will meet again, before we leave, I beg the princess to see his side.”

Chai Sujin was taken aback, "Ma Wei rate?"

The palace attendant was in a hurry, "Also invite the princess to come with the slaves."

"I don't see him." Chai Sujin turned around and left.

The palace man was in a hurry, he walked around in front of her, and blocked her way with his hand.

"Bold!" Chai Sujin shouted coldly.

The palace man put his hand to his lips in a hurry, "Shh, don't be angry, princess, Ma Weishi just wants to see you and say goodbye to you in person. You know that on the battlefield, swords have no eyes, and if you say an unlucky word, it may be the last On the one hand... bah bah! The servant slapped me!"

The palace man said eagerly.

Chai Sujin looked down at the palace man, "It's very inappropriate to meet in private, you are trying to trap me in injustice."

The palace man shook his head in panic, "I dare not."

Chai Sujin sighed softly, "Tell him that if he can make the trip, I wish him the best of luck and success."

The palace man was taken aback, "Princess really doesn't want to see him?"

"I seem to be joking?" Chai Sujin raised his eyebrows.

"Ma Weishou was right. He said that the princess is cold on the surface, but no matter how hot she is on the inside, she always looks cold and indifferent on the surface. You clearly care about him, but on the surface, you always want to You are impeccable. He knows that you probably won't go to see him, so here is a letter, and I entrust this servant to deliver it." The little palace man bowed and took out a letter from his sleeve pocket.

Chai Sujin looked at the envelope, but didn't reach out.

Then suddenly a hand reached out and took the letter away.

As soon as the little palace man raised his head, he was startled and fell to his knees with a plop.

Chai Sujin turned her head, and met the prince's meaningful gaze, with a half-smile on his face.

"It turns out that you are a person who is cold on the outside but hot on the inside? I thought you were cold from the inside out?" The prince sneered and said, "If you don't go to meet each other, but you have correspondence, is it considered a private exchange?" Woolen cloth?"

Chai Sujin pursed her lips, "The letter is still in the hands of His Highness the Crown Prince, how can you call it private?"

"Then you have to read the content alone before you can conclude." The prince said and started to open the letter.

Chai Sujin suddenly realized that something was not right.

She took a step forward, reaching out to snatch the letter from the prince.

The prince raised his hand to avoid it, "What do you want to do?"

"Your Highness, please return the letter to me." Chai Sujin said.

Perhaps it was the sound of their dispute that alarmed the Holy Majesty who had already fallen asleep inside, and the Holy Majesty sent the palace servants to ask what was going on.

The crown prince held the letter in one hand, and put the other hand against Chai Sujin who wanted to take back the letter, "It's okay, the princess and I will leave now, let the father rest well, and we will come to see him tomorrow."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Chai Sujin didn't dare to speak loudly, for fear of disturbing the Holy Majesty again, she had to stride after him.

But the prince quickly took out the letter, glanced at the contents of the letter with lowered eyes, sneered, and suddenly stopped in his tracks.

Chai Sujin was unprepared and bumped his head on his back.

The prince turned around, grabbed her arm, and looked at him with a sneer, "You want a letter? Here it is! Read it to Gu!"

Chai Sujin took the letter, but before she saw the contents, the prince snatched it back, threw it on the ground, and stomped on it several times.

"When Gu asked him at the beginning, he said that you have a marriage contract. No wonder you have been resisting Gu. It turns out that you care about others! You have decided to live your life privately, and your father who loves you so much, did you know? You You don’t want to ask Gu to let him go to Chu to fight against Shu, but you don’t want him to leave, and wait for him to marry you and be your son-in-law? You are really crazy, did you ask Father? Did Father agree to you?” Prince The voices became colder each time.

Chai Sujin finally understood what tricks Ma Wenzhao was playing.

She doesn't need to read the content of the letter, she can guess it now.

"Your Highness, this Ma Wei rate is clearly provoking intentionally. He wants to go to Chu State with a heavy army in his hand!" Chai Sujin said.

The prince nodded, "Yes, I know, he wants to make meritorious service, and he will come back to marry you, the princess, after he has made meritorious service."

Chai Sujin shook her head again and again, "He is selfish! Please believe me, Your Highness."

"Don't you have selfishness?" The prince looked at her coldly, "It's in vain that Fei Gu has always cared so much for you, and never forced you. Gu is waiting, waiting for you to see how good Gu is to you, how well Gu treats you. Forbearance, seeing Gu's patience with you. But are you blind?"

Chai Sujin's mouth was full of bitterness, Ma Wenzhao used her so much, deliberately provoked her so much, it was no wonder that she revealed his old background.

"Your Highness, do you still remember the coup in Chu before Princess Chu entered the Great Zhou?" Chai Sujin asked in a deep voice.

The prince looked at her with raised eyebrows, "Speak?"

"Chu Kingdom originally sent a proton to Dazhou, but the proton was still on the way. The king of Chu suddenly made trouble and killed his brother to seize the throne. The proton disappeared halfway, and the new king of Chu sent his daughter here. Da Zhou makes a marriage." Chai Sujin said calmly.
