The concubine pretends to be obedient, the sinister prince's favorite

Jiang Li didn't want to get entangled with him anymore, and deliberately avoided the man's aggressive gaze.

"Yanyu, let's go."

"Yes, princess."

The two men moved cautiously and did not breathe a sigh of relief until they had completely left the camp in southern Xinjiang.

……

On the other side, outside the granary where flames were blazing, Ying Chi stood there with a sullen face.

The soldiers tried their best to carry water to put out the fire, but the weather was cold and the nearby rivers were frozen, making it very difficult for them to get water.

Wang Gu stayed beside Ying Chi, his wrinkled face full of sorrow.

"What should we do? Most of the food has been burned. Even if the emperor sends more food, it will definitely take a long time to deliver in such extreme cold weather. How can we endure it..."

Hearing this, Ying Chi's face became even uglier.

"Have you found out who dared to set the fire?!"

The commander of the guards stepped forward quickly. Faced with the Crown Prince's rage, he was so frightened that cold sweat broke out.

"Not yet..."

"But I've found out that the two soldiers who were supposed to be guarding the camp tonight are missing..."

Ying Chi turned around and looked at him, her narrow peach blossom eyes slightly narrowed, full of oppression.

"Gone?"

"What do you mean missing? If they're missing, won't you go look for them? You're all a bunch of losers! If I don't see those two people in half an hour, you'll be beheaded!"

"I admit my mistake! I'll go find him right away!"

When the commander heard that Ying Chi was going to chop off his head, not only did he sweat even more, but even his voice began to tremble.

"Your Highness, why are you so angry? You'd better take care of yourself."

Li Junlin walked over slowly, looked at the granary where the fire was still raging, and raised his eyebrows in disbelief.

How did she start the fire? It hasn't been put out yet...

Ying Chi turned and looked at Li Junlin, a dark gleam in his peach blossom eyes.

"The eldest prince hasn't returned to Beichen Camp yet? This fire was probably set by one of your Beichen spies. Aren't you afraid he'll see you and report it to the Third Prince?"

"If he then denounces you in front of Emperor Beichen, our plan will be completely ruined..."

As Ying Chi spoke, his sharp eyes were fixed on Li Junlin, afraid of missing any expression on his face.

Ever since the granary was burned, he had actually been somewhat suspicious of him.

After all, the timing was too coincidental, making it hard for him not to be suspicious...

But Li Junlin was like an emotionless human puppet, his cold expression remained unchanged, only his gloomy phoenix eyes were still so deep that no one could see through them.

"Your Highness is right. If that's the case, then I really shouldn't stay here for long."

"Everything should still be based on our own interests, don't you think?"

Li Junlin curled his lips, and his evil and handsome features were even more beautiful against the firelight.

Ying Chi also smiled, but there was no trace of joy in this smile.

"Wang Gu, go see the prince off."

"Yes."

Only after Li Junlin left did Ying Chi purse his thin lips into a straight line.

His hands hanging at his sides were clenched tightly, and his eyes were full of viciousness.

Li Junlin, you'd better not let this prince catch you...

……

It took another half an hour before the fire in the granary was completely extinguished.

Ying Chi looked at the pitch-black field of grain and felt as if his heart was being tightly gripped by a huge hand. He felt so depressed that he could hardly breathe.

"Someone come! Haven't those two guards been found yet?!"

As the soldier commander walked over, he heard Ying Chi's scolding, which scared him so much that he immediately quickened his pace.

"Your Highness, please calm down! I have already found those two soldiers..."

"where?"

Ying Chi was almost out of patience. He looked down at the commander with a cold voice.

"They, they are dead...their bodies were hidden in a wooden box."

As he spoke, the commander of the guards seemed to have seen how he would die.

The body kneeling on the ground couldn't stop shaking.

"Ha ha……"

Ying Chi was really angry this time and laughed. What kind of trash did he raise?

Someone broke in and killed people, but no one noticed!

"Drag him away and beat him to death."

This time they came to burn the granary, so next time they're going to assassinate him?!

Since the guard commander is useless, kill him and replace him with another one.

"Your Highness! Your Highness, please spare me! Your Highness..."

The guard commander begged for mercy desperately when he was dragged away. Ying Chi was annoyed by the noise, so he gave him a look and someone came up to cover his mouth.

The man closed his eyes. After standing in the cold wind for a long time, the wind blowing on his face felt like a knife cutting.

The guard beside Ying Chi stepped forward and couldn't help but persuade him.

"Your Highness, it's very windy outside. You should go back to the tent."

Compared to outside, there is a fire in the tent, so you don’t feel cold even if you wear less.

Ying Chi was not the kind of person who would let himself suffer, so he didn't respond, but turned and walked towards the tent.

The little face hidden under the silver-white mask suddenly appeared in my mind, with the corners of her eyes raised and her eyes full of charm.

Logically speaking, the army suffered heavy losses due to food and supplies loss, and he should not be interested in women until the culprit is found.

But inexplicably, when he thought of Li'er, he felt hot all over and a little impatient...

"You don't need to follow me. Take your men and continue to look for the arsonist. Once you find him, give him fifty canes."

"Yes!"

Ying Chi walked back to his tent by himself. As soon as he opened the curtain, he saw the fiery red figure lying on his bed.

She wasn't afraid of strangers at all, and actually fell asleep on his bed...

The corners of the man's lips curled slightly. Not only did he not blame her for not knowing the rules, but he felt an inexplicable sense of satisfaction...

He first took off his large wolf-fur cloak, then walked towards the bed.

The warm fire made people feel not cold at all, and even a little hot.

Ying Chi exhaled and sat down on the edge of the bed.

He made quite a bit of noise, but the woman on the bed didn't react at all.

Sleeping so soundly...

Ying Chi frowned, leaned over with one hand on the bed and looked over.

Since the girl was sleeping on her stomach, he could only see a small part of her profile, and most of the other part was blocked by the mask.

The man's eyes darkened, and then he reached out and applied the ribbon to the back of her head.

It's said that he is not a person who would let himself be wronged, so if he wants to see her face, he naturally won't endure it.

He pinched it with his long fingers and pulled it gently, and the rope was untied.

The silver mask hung loosely on the girl's arm and was taken away by him.
