Quick Wear: Welcome to the Crazy Scene

Chapter 187 The King’s Sacrifice (11)

General Qi Guang's identity was exposed in the court, and with the oracle before him, no matter how dissatisfied the ministers were, they had to suppress their feelings and respectfully call Shen Jin "Her Highness the Crown Princess" when they saw her.

The former crown prince Luo Ji smashed the tenth set of teacups and could only watch the time for his exile to Liangcheng approach. Once Luo Shou ascended the throne, he completely launched an uprising.

The only chance to turn around was to kill her before Luo Shou officially ascended the throne.

I just don't know what abilities Luo Shou has. All the troops he sent out have returned in failure, and some of them have not even sent back complete bodies. He is extremely vicious.

As the coronation ceremony drew near, the names of General Qi Guang and the Daughter of Heaven had spread throughout the Daluo Dynasty. If she waited any longer, her position would become even more unshakable.

Luo Ji crushed the broken teacup under his feet until it shattered, then ordered, "Send an invitation to my sister, saying I'm hosting a farewell banquet in Xiangshan. We'll never be together again after this trip to Liangcheng, so we should say goodbye properly, brother and sister."

"Yes, Your Highness."

……

When Shen Jin received Luo Jiduo's invitation letter, he was reviewing documents in the hall.

The longsword rested at her side, seemingly writing with ease. If there was any sign of trouble, she would be able to reach for the weapon immediately.

This is especially true when messengers come.

"Oh, when did the eldest prince think so highly of me that he even held a banquet just for me?"

There was a hint of laughter in Shen Jin's voice, but it made people feel cold.

The messenger's forehead was already covered in cold sweat. The person before him was not a princess from the cold palace, but a general who had killed countless people on the battlefield. This terrifying momentum...

"Your Highness, blood is thicker than water."

"The eldest prince has always hoped to be a harmonious brother and sister with you."

Shen Jin smiled faintly and appreciated the envoy's awkward look.

She put down her pen and replied, "I never expected a brother-sister relationship. If the eldest prince could just call me Princess, that would be enough. What do you think?"

The messenger lowered his head even lower.

"Never mind, blood is thicker than water after all."

Shen Jin emphasized the last word, finding Luo Ji's incompetent assassination humorous: "I will go, go and reply."

After the messenger left, she was left alone in the hall.

She seemed to be genuinely looking forward to the blood relationship Luo Ji had mentioned. She held her face with her right hand, a rare look of longing: "Brother Royal, do you really want to make peace with me?"

"It's better not to bring too many people, lest the emperor misunderstands and causes unpleasantness before departure."

Xiao Jiangran gritted his teeth in secret.

Shen Jin was too naive when he was young.

Yet, he subconsciously felt pity for her: How much must she long for family affection to believe Luo Ji's lies after he assassinated her again and again?

He rubbed his brows.

This little fool even said to bring fewer people. He wanted to remind her to arm herself from head to toe and not even go to this Hongmen Feast.

But Shen Jin had already started to choose clothes to wear at the banquet three days later with great interest.

Xiao Jiangran was somewhat helpless. What else could he do? He could only keep a closer eye on her.

When Shen Jin was picking clothes, she felt Xiao Jiangran's disappointed gaze, but he remained in the dark and never showed up. She even felt a hint of tolerance from him.

Shen Jin's hand had been on Luo Skirt for a long time without moving. She was indeed a little curious.

"So what will you do this time?"

"My unknown snail... Sir?"

……

Xiangshan was a gift from the emperor to the empress. After Luo Ji was born, it was given to him and came into his hands.

It can be said that it is the mountain with the best scenery and the most suitable for travel in Wangcheng.

Since it was Luo Jiduo's private property, Shen Jin had only heard of it but had never seen it.

Legend has it that a hiking trail was built on Xiangshan Mountain using white jade bricks and gold railings. Both sides of the trail are lined with rare flowers and precious stones, creating a new scene at every step.

Seeing it with my own eyes, I could only say that the rumors were indeed exaggerated. But one thing was true: the royal family was indeed extravagant enough to carve a staircase out of gold and white jade.

It was dusk, and the higher we went, the darker the sky became. By the time we reached the top of the mountain, we could only rely on candles and oil lamps for lighting.

Looking down, the long series of lantern banquets formed a long dragon. Looking further out, the night view of the royal city was visible.

This place is nice.

Shen Jin thought about it and had already started to think about taking it for himself.

She hadn't originally wanted to touch the so-called "love token," her personal property. But who had made Luo Ji so generous and flaunt it?

She has been assassinated so many times, it’s not too much to ask for some compensation, right?

It was a dark night, and Shen Jin came alone, so it was easy to capture him.

Luo Ji couldn't believe that his sister was so naive. He told her not to bring anyone with her, and she actually went to the meeting alone.

We have to praise her for her skill and courage.

It was called a banquet, but the purpose was simple, so not many people were invited. The most distinguished were Shen Jin and Luo Ji. They sat at the main table, staring at each other from across the square table.

As the host, Luo Ji was the first to offer a glass of wine to Shen Jin.

No exception.

As the "loveless" Princess, Shen Jin naturally raised her wine glass, smiled brilliantly, and drank it in one gulp.

"Your Highness the Crown Princess has a good alcohol tolerance!"

Luo Ji is really adaptable. He can say these four words easily, which he couldn't say out loud before.

It was because of this address that Shen Jin's smile became even brighter, and for the first time ever he replied, "Royal brother."

……

The food and wine are all right, so the main event is coming soon. Shen Jin thought, his eyes misty, as if he was about to pass out drunk.

"The emperor's sister is also old enough to get married."

After half a day of drinking, Luo Ji also became a little drunk.

"It's a pity that your mother passed away early, and your father... This matter shouldn't be my responsibility."

Luo Ji clapped his hands, and a row of men in cool clothes lined up and entered one after another.

"But after I leave the capital, there really is no one left to arrange for you, my imperial sister. So tonight, I will let you, my imperial brother, take charge and send these innocent men into your harem."

"From now on, it will be good to have someone to talk to."

His earnest advice and sincere feelings really made him act like an elder brother.

“Isn’t that a bit too much?”

"No, as the emperor's sister, no matter how much, it is what I deserve."

Upon hearing this, Shen Jin naturally stood up and made his choice openly.

He raised his hands and took off all their masks.

Under the dim candlelight and moonlight, these men look handsome and elegant, each with his own unique demeanor.

It is not easy for Luo Ji to find such a group of people.

But Shen Jin paused when he passed by someone.

Although she had never seen the man's face, she was very familiar with his aura, so she was sure that the person standing here was him.

When did he sneak in?

When Mingming went up the mountain, he followed her, helped her clear the fallen rocks under her feet five times, blocked three gusts of cold wind, and changed seven pots of dishes that she didn't like.

How come in the blink of an eye, this person changed his clothes and mixed in with Luo Ji's people?

However, this appearance is not inferior at all among a group of specially selected male favorites.

He felt a little embarrassed, even a little irritable, so all the muscles in his body were completely tense, like a sword drawn from its sheath, with his head held high and his chest puffed out, as if he wanted to outdo everyone else.

Shen Jin suddenly found it a little funny. This look was really inconsistent with her understanding of him these days.

"Then I won't refuse."

"I want this."

Shen Jin raised her hand and pointed her index finger at the man in green gauze on Xiao Jiangran's left.

Xiao Jiangran's eyes widened instantly!

"You, come out."

Then he watched helplessly as Shen Jin picked two, one on his left and one on his right, leaving him alone.

very good……

very good!
