The black-bellied princess plays the prince

Chapter 71 Defense
The lady's voice was cold: "Be prepared early."

They put their hands on the scabbards around their waists, but they didn't dodge. They saw a group of cavalry galloping out of the Jin army camp in the distance. The one in the lead was wearing thin silver armor, and his purple cloak fluttered in the wind. Not Li Zeyu but who?
Isn't he injured? Why did he bring someone out?
His horse ran fast, and gradually distanced itself from the people behind him. In the blink of an eye, he came to the front and charged straight over. The group of people pulled out the knives at their waists, but he didn't seem to see him. Rushing in front of Cheng Hai, Cheng Hai said: "Your Highness, let's..."

His eyes swept away, his eyes were as cold as ice, and he actually forced Cheng Hai's words back, and casually said to the lady: "Madam has arrived early."

The lady smiled and cupped her hands at him, "Your Highness summoned us, and we rushed here day and night."

I just felt his eyes casually sweeping over my back, as if he wanted to burn a big hole in my back.

He finally asked me: "Ma'am, is this...?"

"I met an escaped soldier on the road, and I caught it for His Highness... It's strange, there are actually soldiers disguised as men in His Highness's camp?"

He smiled: "I don't know about it. Maybe it's because no one in the family joins the army, so she has to disguise herself as a man. We Shatuo people are no better than people from the Central Plains. Both men and women can ride horses."

"Your Highness's army is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and the martial arts of the little soldiers are ridiculously high." The lady tried again.

"Her family was desperate, so she was allowed to join the army. Otherwise, in a good daughter's family, which parents would let their daughter suffer like this?" Li Zeyu smiled slightly.

One questioned in every possible way, the other covered up in every possible way, the two of them showed their wits, Li Zeyu didn't want her to know my identity, he was very guarded against her, and she, like I thought, was not good for Li Zeyu?

In this way, am I worrying for nothing?
"Since I'm a deserter from the Jin army, don't bother Madam..." Li Zeyu waved his hand, and a guard stepped forward to take me from Cheng Hai.

His eyes didn't fall on me, he looked at me like a stranger.

He didn't recognize me?
The guard carried me past Li Zeyu and walked behind him. With my head down, I could clearly see the green grass on the ground. Sweeping over, the guard trembled, a little dazed.

Li Zeyu said: "This person has been following me, Madam please be merciful."

"Give her the half of the antidote." The lady said, "Since you belong to His Highness, we are too harsh."

I was fed the other half of the antidote, the rope on my body was also untied, and the rein was stuffed in my hand, but I wanted to go, there were only two hours left, and I didn't want to die in front of him.

But I was surrounded by guards, surrounded me tightly, and I was riding the smallest and thinnest horse.

Li Zeyu and the lady rode in front side by side, both of them wore sable coats, galloping galloping horses, they chatted while walking, bursts of laughter came from time to time.

They walked into the big tent of the Chinese army, and I, being escorted by the guards, went to the next sleeping tent.

"Miss, please!" The guard said respectfully, "Miss, please wait in His Highness's tent first, His Highness will come over after a while."

The submissive expression on his face was completely different from the behavior of holding the knife handle. After he finished speaking, he lifted the curtain and went out, and stood still at the door. The other guards also surrounded the sleeping tent. A few steps alone.

I waited helplessly, and I didn't know how long I had been waiting. I was getting impatient, so I asked the guard outside: "How long has it been?"

"How long did you ask? Are you impatient to wait?" Qing Gui lifted the curtain and walked in, with a smile on her face: "Can't see His Highness, are you impatient?"

I was startled: "You are?"

There were still figures of guards around the camp, but those figures squatted or sat down and fell to the ground.

"You don't know me?" The smile on her face became brighter and brighter, "You have found someone to pretend to be me, why, once you turn your back, you don't know me anymore?"

Her smile had a sinister taste, I still shook my head: "I don't know, who are you?"

Those who come are not good, and those who are kind do not come, why don't I understand this truth?
Thinking about me and Ye Xiao pretending to be her for the assassination plan, I felt a little uncomfortable in my heart. How could we think that Li Zeyu would like her?

Our plan is really a blind plan.

She saw my face clearly, and her face was gloomy: "The person His Highness is taking care of, so it's you...?"

These sour words made my heart a little sweet. I have always been used to being feared by people as fierce and evil. Unexpectedly, it was the first time that I made people jealous.

Thinking about the last time in the palace, she also had a fuss for me, and I became more vigilant in my sweetness.

"Aren't you asking knowingly? Tell me, what are you trying to provoke?" I asked.

Her face turned blue and white, "Provocation, why should I provoke? It's you who are poor, but you don't know it!"

I squinted at her, "What do you have to say, make it clear once, I don't want to guess."

Her face calmed down: "Mrs. Ashina came from Qingzhou and brought a lot of good spices to His Highness. It was a dowry gift for His Highness to marry the nine princesses of Fujian. Now there are no women in the military camp..." She waved The veil flapped twice in front of the nose, "Your Highness is short of maids who can arrange the dowry..."

I turned around, walked to the low couch and sat down: "What if I don't want to go?"

She sneered: "Don't you dare... Don't worry, those dowries won't dazzle your eyes!"

She wanted to make me sad, and wanted to tell me that I was nothing more than that in Li Zeyu's mind, but I didn't think my status was high... Wait a minute, what did she mean by Mrs. Ashina?

Could it be Mrs. Ashina?
My heart sank, and I looked at Qing Gui, what is this woman thinking?
She took out a blue dress, "Put it on..." She threw the dress on me and walked out, "I'll wait for you outside."

The clothes fell on my body, soft and slippery, I could clearly see the coldness in her eyes, she knew that I would wear them and be with her when I knew the name Ashina.

What the hell does she know?
Qing Gui brought over a dozen waitresses, all of whom were dressed in green shirts and skirts. Because I was in the army and wore a veiled cap on my head, I was mixed in and no one could recognize me.

Outside the tent of the Chinese army, there was a guard of honor for the peace of Fujian, and the letter of state of Fujian was spread out in front of Li Zeyu, and the bent and flattering official of the peace of Fujian praised the nine princesses of Fujian as a flower .

I walked into the tent of the Chinese army with Qinggui, and saw the lady sitting at the bottom just now, the long whip inlaid with gold was wrapped around her waist twice, and it shone faintly golden under the light, Qinggui was next to my ear Said: "She is Mrs. Ashina." My hand trembled and almost dropped the thing in my hand, she smiled, "I heard that you tied her with a whip?"

Even she knew this, I turned my head, but she didn't look at me, she stepped forward with a smile, and saluted Li Zeyu, "Your Highness, this slave has been ordered by the King of Jin to take care of some matters for His Highness."

Li Zeyu frowned and gave an 'en'.

The peace envoy from Fujian was still chattering about his Ninth Princess, and said: "Your Highness, two days later will be an auspicious day. It is better to catch it well. At noon that day, Your Highness will come to welcome the bride?"

Li Zeyu didn't even have any kindness, so he just picked up the cup and took a sip. The official waited, his face turned from flattery to embarrassment, and Mrs. Ashina smiled next to him: "There are too many people in the world who are rushing to get married." I've never seen someone so anxious to send off their relatives!"

Li Zeyu smiled slightly, "Of course it doesn't take such a big fight to marry a side concubine. You go back and tell King Min that I will be there at noon the day after tomorrow."

The Fujian envoy's face turned green: "Side, side, side concubine?"

Li Zeyu waved his hand: "Don't you go back and report to King Min?"

The Fujian envoy backed away with trembling lips and bowed face.

At this moment, we maids went forward to collect the betrothal gift brought by the envoy from Fujian, and then we can leave, but Qing Gui smiled and said: "Your Highness, do you want me to leave two people to pour wine for you and your wife?"

Li Zeyu's brows have never been relaxed, and he drank the wine glass by glass, as if he couldn't hear Qing Gui's words, and just gave another acknowledgment.

The rest of the maids retreated, leaving only Mrs. Ashina, Li Zeyu, Qing Gui and our two maids in the tent.

Li Zeyu was still drinking, and Mrs. Ashina couldn't help it: "Your Highness, you said she is in the camp, can I let the concubine see her?"

Li Zeyu put down the cup in his hand with a thud, and stopped her with a wave of his hand, "Ma'am, what's the hurry?"

I was shaken all over, and the jade ruyi I was holding almost fell to the ground, my neck was so stiff that I couldn't straighten it up, I knew who the 'she' Mrs Ashina was talking about.

My heart seemed to be tightly bound by thousands of silk threads, and I couldn't breathe. I wanted to walk, but my feet seemed to be rooted in the ground. I didn't want to hear it, and I didn't want to hear it anymore.

But his words still reached my ears: "Madam, I want to hire her as my concubine. I wonder if Madam is willing?"

Mrs. Ashina sighed: "With a good son-in-law like Your Highness, I am willing, but I have been looking for her for many years and have never seen her face. Can Your Highness allow this concubine to meet her? Don't worry, Your Highness, you and me." Now that we are a family, there is nothing to discuss with the family."

There was some urgency in her tone, and a soft light in her cold eyes, which was quite different from the look just now.

Qing Gui glanced at me, walked forward, and smiled softly: "Ma'am, don't worry, if it wasn't for your daughter to stand in front, His Highness would have already died in Chu Bo's torture formation. She is His Highness's savior, Your Highness Will not forget him."
