Reborn to raise a baby, Princess Heng has become stronger

Chapter 139: My Lord, There is an Assassin

"How could this happen?" Meng Yunshang muttered in a low voice, feeling that the Southwestern Army was unexpectedly strong.

These words quickly attracted Lu Chenxiao's attention.

He leaned close to Meng Yunshang's ear and asked in a low voice, "What are you thinking about, baby?"

The two were close to each other, and when he spoke, his hot breath sprayed on the skin behind Meng Yunshang's ears.

Even though the two of them had been close to each other countless times, Meng Yunshang still couldn't stop feeling itchy in her heart.

Not to mention that because of his heroic sitting posture, most of her body was leaning on his arms, which looked so ambiguous no matter how you looked at it.

No wonder Lu Yuanjing had to make provocative remarks just now. It was really inappropriate to be so annoying in front of so many people.

But before she could step back, Lu Chenxiao hugged her tighter.

"Baby, you're looking at me so seriously, are you attracted to another man again?"

The corners of Meng Yunshang's mouth twitched slightly. Every time she heard him say this, she always had the urge to smother him to death.

"Baby has never looked at me so seriously," Lu Chenxiao said seriously.

The grievance on his face was obvious.

It looks so out of place with his cold and handsome face, yet it is impossible to ignore it.

Meng Yunshang couldn't stand being stared at. Her mind suddenly twitched and she blurted out, "They are not as good-looking as you and Huai'an."

The depression between Lu Chenxiao's brows dissipated, and he raised his eyebrows to confirm, "Really?"

"Of course," Meng Yunshang nodded decisively, "I'm just curious about why the Southwest Army suddenly became stronger. Could it be related to Guo Chengxuan buying out all the pharmacies?"

"Yes," Lu Chenxiao nodded calmly, "Fang Shao brought a group of Gu people from the southwest."

"Poison man? Then the next game..."

Everyone knows that the southwest is good at making poison.

But few people bring them to the surface, let alone occasions like the Mid-Autumn Festival Competition.

Therefore, there is no clear rule that Gu practitioners are not allowed to watch the hidden weapon competition.

This gave Fang Shao an opportunity.

Compared with cold hidden weapons, controllable poisonous insects are obviously more flexible and have a better chance of winning.

The Southwest Army’s three consecutive victories at the start are the best proof of this.

If the Northwest Army and Jingxi Camp continue to passively fight the enemy, the Southwest Army's points will soon be overtaken.

"Don't worry, I've known about this for a long time, and I've worked out a countermeasure with Cheng Yao."

In other words, both the Jingxi Camp and the Northwest Army will be fine.

Meng Yunshang's heart, which had been hanging high, slowly returned to its normal state.

The following confrontation was just as Lu Chenxiao had imagined.

The poison masters secretly prepared by the Southwestern Army came on the field one after another, but they were not as successful as in the first three rounds.

The poisonous insects they brought from thousands of miles away were no longer obedient and showed signs of defecting.

"What's going on? It was fine just now!"

Guo Chengxuan questioned the Gu master who had just stepped down with a dark face, "Are you guys playing tricks?"

The Gu Man shook his head, "Something is wrong. My pet is scared."

Guo Chengxuan asked sinisterly, "Afraid? Didn't you say that your Gu worms dominate the entire southwest?"

The Gu Man frowned, "That being said, there are always people who are better than you, and there are always better than you."

Guo Chengxuan cursed, "Waste!"

At this time, another Gu man was defeated and walked up to Guo Chengxuan with a pale face.

He muttered incoherently, "King Gu, it's the breath of King Gu."

Guo Chengxuan didn't understand what he meant, but the previous Gu person understood it immediately.

He murmured to himself, "So it's the Gu King who's here. That makes sense."

"What Gu King and Gu Queen? Don't forget what you promised us. If you can't help us win the first half, your family..."

The poisoned man was startled and immediately knelt down and begged for mercy, but Guo Chengxuan didn't listen at all.

With a gloomy face, he summoned the remaining Gu masters who had not yet entered the arena, trying to put pressure on them and force them to win.

But the remaining Gu people all fell silent after hearing the title of Gu King.

The precious poisonous insects in their hands were like eggplants hit by frost. Those with some real skills could still fight, but those who had just trained and were going into battle for the first time would just pretend to be dead after smelling the breath of the Gu King.

As a result, except for the three points gained at the beginning, the Southwestern Army lost all the rest.

The final score was even less than that of JD Camp.

At the end of a day's competition, the Jingxi Camp had the highest points, while the Southwestern Army was at the bottom.

When the morale of the Southwestern Army was at a low point, Eunuch Shun arrived with an oral order from Emperor Yuan Qing.

"The Emperor has ordered that General Fang should honor the bet he lost to Prince Heng."

So, in front of everyone, Fang Shao was beaten with fifty military sticks.

The Southwestern Army lost all its reputation and dignity.

Before returning to Prince Heng's Mansion, Lu Ming and Dan Qiu came to talk.

"Your Highness, the one who was shot by the princess' poison needle was He Ruogu from the Southwest Army. He was also the one who shot the sleeve arrow at the princess."

"He also explained that Song Jinyan wanted to stay in the capital, but was worried that the Cheng family would not agree, so he reached an agreement with the Southwest Army. In the competition, he deliberately lost to the Southwest Army. After the game, Fang Shao secretly helped him to stay in the capital smoothly."

"Idiot!" No matter how calm Meng Yunshang was, she was so angry that she wanted to tear Song Jinyan apart herself.

No one forced him to return to the Northwest.

If he told his grandfather directly that he wanted to stay in the capital, his grandfather would definitely agree and help him realize his wish.

But Song Jinyan not only did not say anything, he even dared to use the Northwest Army as a raft in the competition and deliberately lost to He Ruogu in order to surrender to Fang Shao.

Such an idiot actually came from the Northwest Army.

If my grandfather knew, he would be so upset.

When Meng Yunshang thought about how his grandfather raised Song Jinyan as his own junior, but Song Jinyan betrayed him and the Northwest Army, his anger reached a new level.

Lu Ming didn't understand what she was thinking. He only heard the word "idiot" and thought Meng Yunshang was scolding He Ruogu.

He nodded in agreement, "Then He Ruogu is indeed stupid. He confessed everything after we interrogated him."

"This includes Fang Shao asking him to instruct the Wang Cheng brothers to poison the water well in Jingxiying, and Fang Shao cooperating with Yuan Chengjun, but Yuan Chengye turned against him halfway through."

Meng Yunshang frowned when she heard this, "Does Fang Shao have a grudge against the prince?"

If there is no old grudge, why are they targeting Lu Chenxiao and Jingxi Camp?

"The Fang family has been entrenched in the southwest for generations, and they have long considered themselves the king of the southwest. Not long ago, Du Wenfu submitted a list of people who had close ties with the Fang family."

He said it simply, but Meng Yunshang thought a lot about it.

The Fang family has developed unnecessary ambitions, and if they are not curbed in time, they will only lead to disaster in the end.

Thinking back to his previous life, Huai'an spent a long time collecting information and data about the southwest.

She asked Lu Chenxiao thoughtfully, "The Prince of Yu's fiefdom seems to be in the southwest?"

Lu Chenxiao paused for a moment, then nodded, "Yes, and it's not far from where the Southwest Army is stationed."

The two looked at each other, communicating information that only each other could understand.

With the sound of horses neighing, the family of three soon returned to Prince Heng's palace.

After entering the room, the butler stepped forward and reported in a low voice, "Your Majesty, several adults are waiting in the study."

Lu Chenxiao told Meng Yunshang to take Huai'an back to Hefengyuan first, and he turned around and went to the study.

*

When I came out again, the moon was already at its zenith.

Lu Ming walked beside Lu Chenxiao holding a lantern.

"Your Highness, it's so late, the princess must be asleep. Are you sure you don't want to stay in Qingfeng Court to rest tonight?"

Lu Chenxiao glanced at him with disdain, "What do you know, an old bachelor?"

Lu Ming muttered silently, "Is it a big deal to have a wife?"

I don’t know who was kicked out by the princess in the middle of the night last time.

Lu Chenxiao asked quietly, "Are you not convinced?"

Lu Ming shook his head with a strong desire to survive, "I am very impressed. The prince and princess are so loving and affectionate. I envy them every day."

"There's no point in being envious. The person the princess loves most is me."

Lu Ming: “…”

As long as you are happy!

The two of them quickly walked to the Hefeng Courtyard and saw a faint candlelight in the main house. Lu Ming was surprised, "Hey, did the princess leave the light on specially for you?"

Lu Chenxiao snorted proudly, "I've already said it, the princess loves me the most."

Lu Ming nodded rapidly, "Yeah, right, right."

"Please step back. I want to rest with the princess."

The person who is usually out of reach will push open the door quietly like a thief.

Looking at the mother and son sleeping soundly on the bed, my heart softened.

He took off his clothes and got into bed, then held the person in his arms with satisfaction.

Huai'an noticed his mother leaving and followed quickly. His heartless father quickly wrapped him in a small quilt.

Smelling the familiar scent, Meng Yunshang leaned in his arms with confidence, "Are you done with your work, my Lord?"

"Hmm~"

Lu Chenxiao kissed her forehead tenderly and asked in a low voice, "Did the baby leave the light in the room on specially for me?"

"I'm afraid you'll come back too late," the half-asleep little woman spoke with a distinct nasal tone, but it was particularly seductive.

"Thank you, baby~"

Lu Chenxiao couldn't hold back the evil thoughts in his heart, he held her red lips and sucked greedily.

Meng Yunshang became even more confused after being kissed. She tilted her head and buried it in his chest, not letting him kiss her.

"No, I'm still angry!"

"Why is baby angry?"

"You don't trust me and always suspect that I have an improper relationship with others, but in fact I don't."

"I hate being doubted, and I don't want to be doubted by you. I was planning to ignore you this morning, but you shamelessly kept talking to me."

Lu Chenxiao didn't mind the shameless comments at all.

He gently caressed the red lips of the little woman in his arms and assured her softly, "I was wrong not to trust the baby in time and let the baby suffer. I apologize to the baby and I will try my best to change in the future, okay?"

"If you do this again, I promise not to say a word to you."

Lu Chenxiao gritted his teeth.

Ignoring him for a moment can make him lose his composure, let alone days, months or even adults. He simply can't live without her.

"No more, I'll listen to you from now on."

Meng Yunshang didn't realize there was anything wrong with this kind of question and answer. She just thought she was dreaming.

Normally, she would ask without hesitation what she was too embarrassed to say, "Don't bring your princely manners home. I don't like them."

Lu Chenxiao listened with eyes full of doting, "Okay, in front of the baby, I am just Ah Jiu, not some prince."

He was not afraid of her demands.

On the contrary, the more she demanded and restrained him, the more he felt that he had entered her heart.

Perhaps because he felt that he was easy to talk to at the moment, the confused person snorted, "You are so ugly when you are angry."

Lu Chenxiao: "..."

We can't continue chatting today, otherwise he will be too ugly to be seen in public in the next second.

Seeing that the little woman was still talking, he immediately kissed her chattering red lips, "It's late at night, baby, sleep well."

"Yeah~ sleep!"

The person in his arms finally fell into a deep sleep, and Lu Chenxiao also closed his eyes sleepily.

However, just as he was about to fall asleep, he noticed unusual noises coming from outside the house.

Soon Lu Kang appeared and reported, "Your Majesty, there is an assassin."
