Rebirth as the post-GL
Chapter 39
Cangwu Jingyuan would rather take this opportunity to go out of the palace to take over the matter of welcoming the division than to exercise her own abilities. After all, if you want to lay a good foundation, brains alone are not enough. If you can find There is nothing better than an opportunity to develop one's own power outside the palace.
The main task of Cangwu Jingyuan is to understand the route of the mission to Beijing, to ensure that there will be no killers or assassins on this road, so as not to fail to negotiate a peace, and the Cangwu Kingdom will be settled instead.
Cangwu Jingyuan is quite confident in her current martial arts, so she changed into plain clothes the next day and left the palace with Qinghe.
The route for the mission to enter the palace belongs to the main road in the capital, and when she turned into an alley, she suddenly felt a chill in her lower back, and a sharp dagger was pressed against her waist, and she raised her hand to stop Qinghe's movements.
"Don't say anything, or I'll kill you." The man who spoke was a tall man with a deep voice, who seemed to be injured, and his internal strength was weak, but Cangwu Jingyuan didn't panic because she didn't feel the man's killing intent, and said It's strange, even though it was the first time they met, Cangwu Jingyuan inexplicably believed that this person would not hurt her.
"Wait a minute, if someone asks you if you've seen a man, just say that he ran away in the opposite direction." The man ordered dumbly, and as soon as the words fell, two men in black robes came over, and the man hid The position is just a blind spot of vision, and Cangwu Jingyuan can feel his body tense at this moment.
At the same time, several men ran over, "Girl, did you just see a man in a blue robe with a wound on his chest?"
Cangwu Jingyuan calmly pointed in another direction: "He seems to have escaped from there."
The two men in black looked at each other and left.
"Can you let me go?" Cangwu Jingyuan turned around, and saw a pale man with sharp edges and corners leaning weakly against the wall, blood gushing from his chest, obviously seriously injured.
After all, Cangwu Jingyuan had studied medicine with Shen Chen for a period of time, and she had brought some medicine to stop bleeding and treat poison with her. Seeing that he was in critical condition, Cangwu Jingyuan gave him a simple bandage first, and then placed him in Bai Qian's ward outside the palace. mansion, and arranged for someone to take care of it.
"Are you the fourth princess of Cangwu Kingdom?" the man asked in a deep voice while allowing her to help him deal with his wound.
Cangwu Jingyuan raised her eyebrows, "Have you seen me?" She seldom goes out of the palace on weekdays, so she was curious when she saw her.
The man hooked his lips, "As the number one killer organization in Cangwu Kingdom, a sky-level killer, it is natural to find out the information of each mission target."
Hearing this, Cangwu Jingyuan frowned slightly, "Mission target? You mean I'm on the reward list of your killer organization?"
The man nodded and said: "However, the amount of the reward is not high, and you are a princess no matter how poor your status is, so no one has accepted it yet."
Cangwu Jingyuan frowned, knowing that there are rules in their profession and they cannot reveal the identity of the reward offerer, so she didn't ask too much, looked at him and said, "Why are those people chasing you today?"
Hearing this, the man chuckled and said: "Isn't it normal for a killer to have a feud in the arena? I was unlucky today too. I just finished a mission and I was injured a little bit. When I met them, if I didn't With your appearance, I am afraid that I have already killed them."
Cangwu Jingyuan frowned when he heard him say such a matter of life and death calmly, "I also wanted to protect myself at that time."
Hearing this, the man said seriously: "I never like to owe anyone anything, today you saved my life, and I will protect you for three years from now on, so I have the right to repay your kindness for saving my life today."
As he spoke, the man didn't wait for Cangwu Jingyuan to respond, and directly bowed his hands to her and said Cangwu Jingyuan, "During these three years, the princess can call me Wuying."
Seeing that he was so stubborn, Cangwu Jingyuan refused, but he was indifferent, thinking that it was nothing more than a number of guards, so he followed him.
Leaving Wuying in the prime minister's mansion to recuperate, Cangwu Jingyuan took Qinghe back to the palace, and as soon as he arrived at the gate of Chaoyang Palace, he saw Bai Qian waiting at the gate of the palace, and quickly went up to meet him.
Leading Bai Qian into Chaoyang Palace, Cangwu Jingyuan asked, "What's the rush?"
Bai Qian said calmly, "I heard that you are going to assist the Eldest Princess in receiving missions from neighboring countries. Is it true?"
Cangwu Jingyuan nodded, and said with a bit of heartiness in her eyes: "That's right, I suggested it to your lord."
Cangwu Jingyuan originally thought that Bai Qian would be happy for her when she heard the news, but Bai Qian frowned and said, "You shouldn't have taken on this job, you can replace it now, go and talk to me quickly." Please resign, Your Majesty."
"Why?" Cangwu Jingyuan stopped in confusion: "This is obviously a good opportunity to stabilize my position in the palace, so why not do it?"
"It's a good opportunity for someone else, but not necessarily for you."
Bai Qian looked at Cangwu Jingyuan and pondered for a moment and said, "Since you first showed your talents at the Peony Poetry Meeting, there have been many unreasonable disasters all of a sudden. Think about it, this time the reception of the queen entrusted the eldest princess Cangwu Jinxiu for the first time, which is enough. It shows that she attaches great importance to Cangwu Jinxiu, and also shows the importance of this event. No matter how incompetent Cangwu Jinxiu is, there is the queen's favor and Shen Huangfu's guidance behind her. Even if something goes wrong, no one will dare to tell the truth. But you It's different, you were so unknown, and you got such a coveted job all of a sudden, how many people would hold grudges against you because of this? I know you want to make some achievements, but let yourself become the target of public criticism, It’s really not a wise move.”
After hearing Bai Qian's words, Cangwu Jingyuan sighed and said, "I've thought about all of this, but Bai Qian, now that the emperor's wife and eldest princess are eyeing me, do you think it would be useful if I hold back again and again at this time? ?I can only make the other party fear me if I gradually strengthen myself. So this time, I don’t want to back down anymore. Whether it’s a target or a thorn in someone’s side, this time, I must go Do."
Bai Qian looked at the firmness in her eyes, but she couldn't be optimistic at all. Looking at her hand tightly held by Cangwu Jingyuan, Bai Qian faintly felt uneasy.
Seeing that she was worried, Cangwu Jingyuan sighed softly and took her into his arms, comforting her softly: "I know you are afraid that I will be the target of public criticism, but Bai Qian, I can't live forever under the wings of you and your lord, So just let me do it, okay?"
Bai Qian glanced at Cangwu Jingyuan, complaining a little, "You said to let me rest assured! What happened when you left the palace today?"
Unexpectedly, Bai Qian was so well-informed in the palace, Cangwu Jingyuan smiled, and told her the ins and outs of saving Wuying today.
Hearing this, Bai Qian glanced at Cangwu Jingyuan, "I knew you couldn't be let out of the palace, and after only a day out, I recruited a personal bodyguard who likes to stick around. If you go out for a long time..."
Seeing Bai Qian's dissatisfied look, Cangwu Jingyuan finally couldn't help laughing, raised her eyebrows and asked, "My prime minister really likes to be jealous, he's just a guard, what else can I do with him?"
Bai Qian raised her hand and tapped Jing Yuan's forehead and said, "I'm not poor with you, the queen even invited me to play chess with her! Since you are determined to do this, you must be careful in everything, since That Wuying's martial arts are extremely strong as you said, then you can take him and Qinghe with you, and I can feel more at ease."
Cangwu Jingyuan's eyes gradually softened, he touched Bai Qian's head, and said in a warm voice: "Don't worry, I will be careful even for you."
After speaking, Cangwu Jingyuan knew that Bai Qian was in a hurry to leave, so she sent her out of Chaoyang Palace, and went back to practice swords by herself.
The mission of the neighboring country has already entered Beijing, and it is estimated that they will arrive in Kyoto in two days. Cangwu Jingyuan has been inspecting outside the palace for the past few days, and her life is free. Of course, if there are fewer injuries around her Well, it would be better to just stay by her side and say to protect her Wuying
This day, when she was inspecting restaurants and teahouses around Kyoto, she saw a small teahouse called "Where to Go, No Return". blocked.
"Princess, this kind of small teahouse is full of people, it's better to go less in your capacity." Wu Ying stood in front of her, looking like an enemy, Cangwu Jingyuan smiled and said: "First, Don't call me princess outside the palace, call me son." She pointed to the men's clothes on her body.Second, the small teahouse is the best place to get news, even though there are a lot of fish and dragons.Finally, what you have to remember is that you have to repay the favor, not I need your protection, I can solve the danger by myself, so can we go in now, Shadowless Hero? "
Seeing Cangwu Jingyuan who was very interested, Wuying couldn't bear to touch her again, so he could only give way slightly.
"Thank you." Cangwu Jingyuan patted Wuying's shoulder vigorously, then opened the paper fan, and walked into the hall gracefully with his hands behind his back.
Wuying touched his aching shoulder, sighed a little dumbfounded, and then walked in.
As soon as Cangwu Jingyuan and Wuying entered the door, they attracted a lot of attention. Although it is not uncommon to see rich and important people under the feet of the emperor, it is impossible to find such a handsome and noble young man in ten, let alone This young man looked unrestrained and relaxed, with a personable demeanor, but after a while, some girls and daughters-in-law in the teahouse blushed and secretly looked at him.
Wuying frowned unhappily, and blocked Cangwu Jingyuan intentionally or unintentionally, but Cangwu Jingyuan didn't care much, and gently shook the paper fan to push him aside.
"What do the two guest officers want?" The waiter in the shop is a discerning person. Seeing that the two people have extraordinary manners, they must be either rich or expensive, so he hastily greeted them with a smile.
"A pot of clear tea, two stacks of refreshments, if you are too slow, I won't give you money." Cangwu Jingyuan said as she closed her fan and tapped Xiaoer's shoulder.
"Okay, where are you?" The shop waiter didn't dare to neglect, and quickly brought out all the signboards in the shop.
"Don't be suspicious all the time, drink a cup of tea." Cangwu Jingyuan saw that Wuying was always vigilant, so she couldn't help pouring him a cup of tea, Wuying didn't speak, and slowly sipped the tea.
"Hey, do you know? I heard that the eldest princess is in charge of the contact of the mission to Beijing this time." After drinking tea for a while, Cangwu Jingyuan heard the person at the next table talk about it.
"Which eldest princess?"
"Hey, it looks like you are from another place. You don't even know Princess Jinxiu, but she is the queen's favorite person."
"Being able to receive missions, then the eldest princess must be very powerful, right?"
"That's not true, she is beautiful and talented, let me tell you," the man who spoke lowered his voice, "The next eldest princess may be her, it is said that all the eldest princesses of my dynasty have received missions. "
"That is, that is." Others echoed a few words, and changed the subject again.
Cangwu Jingyuan drank tea quietly, and she had already realized something. In the past two days, no matter where she went, she could "just happen" to hear people's praise of Cangwu's beauty, or praise her for being smart and exquisite, Or cryptically say that she is the future eldest princess, in short, it looks like Cangwu Jinxiu hired people to make her appearance in order to successfully become the eldest princess in the future.Cangwu Jingyuan felt that this must be the method that the imperial husband came up with for Cangwu Jinxiu, first to lay a good foundation for the masses, and then the queen could not let the queen not "follow the hearts of the people".
"She is trying to put all the credit and reputation on herself." It took Wuying a long time to say a word, but Cangwu Jingyuan just smiled, she would not do such a thing, after all, the king's heart is unpredictable ah.
The Beiyuan Kingdom Mission finally arrived in Kyoto. Cangwu Jingyuan and Cangwu Jinxiu went to the outer gate of Kyoto to greet them early in the morning. Cangwu Jinxiu wanted to show off her identity, and her body was covered with golden threads embroidered with birds and phoenixes. The palace skirt, and the golden hairpin are shaking again, and you have to stop for three steps when you take one step.
On the other hand, Cangwu Jingyuan is just wearing a simple blue palace dress, with white clouds embroidered on the cuffs and neckline, and a water-blue hairpin pinned in her hair, which is both polite and agile.
This palace dress was chosen by Bai Qian for Cangwu Jingyuan. She originally wanted to do a bun for Cangwu Jingyuan herself, but she was obviously not very good at doing other people's hair, so she had to give up.Thinking of Bai Qian, Cangwu Jingyuan couldn't help curling the corners of her lips, her mood brightened a lot.
"The mission of the neighboring country has arrived." Someone whispered something, Cang Wu Jingyuan raised his head, and saw the rumbling chariots approaching slowly, and the one walking in the front was a white-faced and beardless man, riding on the horse. , with a gentle face, followed by a soft sedan chair with a golden roof, carried by four people.
Cangwu Jingyuan guessed that the person in the sedan chair was the prince of Beiyuan Kingdom. I heard that he was the main person in charge of the envoys. Behind the carriages and horses, as usual, were gold and silver jewels, rare tributes, and even some pretty faces. Nice young man woman.
Cangwu Jinxiu couldn't wait to go forward, the man on horseback got off his horse a few dozen steps away from them, and then said something to the people in the soft sedan, and then, a hand with strong bones came out of the soft sedan Stretched out, opened the car curtain.
When the prince from the neighboring country came out, Cangwu Jingyuan found that Cangwu Jinxiu was frozen in place, not because she was afraid, but probably because she was watching him. The prince from the neighboring country had a face that was more beautiful than a woman, and she didn’t smile. Zi Hanchun's peach blossom eyes, straight and thin lips, and a slightly evil smile on the corner of his mouth, even Cangwu Jingyuan, who had seen countless beautiful men before his rebirth, has to admit that the prince of the neighboring country is indeed intoxicating capital, but the immediate thing is not to look at handsome men.
Seeing that Cangwu Jinxiu had been silent all this time, and the other party was also looking at her with half-smile eyes, Cangwu Jingyuan had no choice but to take a step forward and say, "I am Cangwu Jingyuan, the fourth princess of the Cangwu Kingdom. Cangwu Jinxiu came to meet all of you, the so-called visitor is a guest, since you have come from afar, today you are our guests from Cangwu Kingdom, all the next matters for you will be arranged by me and Huang Jie, please return to me in the next few days Don't worry about being a guest, I, Cangwu, will definitely do my best as a landlord.
"You are Cangwu Jingyuan?" The prince of Beiyuan Kingdom squinted his eyes unceremoniously and looked at him: "The cowardly and unfavored fourth princess?"
"The prince doesn't need to listen to rumors," Cangwu Jingyuan still maintained a smile: "I am indeed the fourth princess of the dynasty, but cowardice and disfavor are all rumors. I also hope that the prince will not follow what others say, and believe what he listens to."
During the back-and-forth questions and answers between the two, Cangwu Jinxiu finally woke up from the surprise, seeing that Cangwu Jingyuan had already spoken to Prince Beiyuan, she didn't care too much, and stood in front of Cangwu Jingyuan and said: "I am Cangwu Jinxiu, Princess Cangwu of the Kingdom of Cangwu. I am the main receptionist and person in charge. You must have traveled a long way and must be exhausted and tired. I have already prepared thin wine in the Drunken Immortal Tower to cleanse everyone. How about Let's exchange the cultures of the two countries when we get there.
Zuixian Tower, Cangwu Jinxiu is really a big deal.Cangwu Jingyuan couldn't help turning her head to look at her. This Zuixianlou is the most famous restaurant in the capital. Some of the dishes there are not available even if you have money. If you want to have a meal in Zuixianlou, It is not enough to have money, but also to have a certain status.
In fact, Cangwu Jinxiu didn't intend to hold a dust-cleaning banquet in the Zuixian Tower at first, she thought that the people who came must be a group of old and pedantic old men, so she specially recited some poems, she knew that the leader of the group was Beiyuan The prince, but she didn't expect that this prince is so young and so handsome. If she can get his love, it will not only be an excellent opportunity to win people's hearts, but also greatly satisfy her own vanity, so she decided to hold a banquet impromptu In Zuixianlou, Cangwu Jinxiu made up her mind to let Prince Beiyuan feel the charm of her Princess Cangwu.
A group of people arrived at the Drunken Immortal Tower in a mighty way, and the shopkeeper didn't dare to neglect, and quickly gave up the best wing.
In order to show her identity, Cangwu Jinxiu sat on the main seat as soon as she entered the room, Cangwu Jingyuan was not so particular, she just sat down at a random place, she was full of the delicious dishes of Zuixianlou, everyone They all took their seats one after another, but when they came to Prince Beiyuan, they frowned slightly.
"Prince Beiyuan, please sit down." Cangwu Jinxiu looked at him suggestively.
"You, go over there." Prince Beiyuan didn't seem to see Cangwu Jinxiu's hint, so he asked a follower sitting next to Cangwu Jingyuan to sit next to Cangwu Jinxiu, while he himself sat down on Cangwu Jingyuan next to.
"It's a bit boring over there, I'll just sit here." Listening to Prince Beiyuan's polite explanation, Cangwu Jinxiu managed to maintain a smile even though she felt uncomfortable, but she secretly stared at Cangwu Jingyuan several times, She felt that Cangwu Jingyuan just stole her limelight, in order to attract Prince Beiyuan's attention.
If Cangwu Jingyuan knew what she was thinking at this moment, she would definitely say that she was thinking too much.
The dishes came out quickly, and the delicious dishes made people couldn't help but twitch their index fingers. Cangwu Jingyuan started to eat big pieces with the attitude of not eating for nothing, and she didn't care about her status as a princess at this time , the envoy from the neighboring country, I only know that Zuixianlou's dishes are really well-deserved, and I want to bring Bai Qian to eat with me next time.
Cangwu Jinxiu felt better when she saw Cangwu Jingyuan only eating with her head down, because she is more favored and enjoys it more. She has been to this Zuixian Tower many times, and she can name all the dishes. This is why, seeing that Prince Beiyuan was just holding up the chopsticks and not lowering the chopsticks, he couldn't help but put a piece of "floating gold and silver" into his bowl.
"This 'Floating Gold and Silver' dish is fried with fine shrimp wrapped in rice. It is fragrant but not greasy, crisp and easy to melt. It is the signature dish of Zuixianlou. Prince, please try it."
Prince Beiyuan ate one and showed a satisfied expression: "Not bad, it really is delicious."
Cangwu Jinxiu was overjoyed, and she wanted to show off, so she introduced each dish one by one. At first, Prince Beiyuan would put down his chopsticks to taste a few mouthfuls, but he became a little impatient after listening. He didn't care about Cangwu Jinxiu. The other side talked happily, and pushed Cangwu Jingyuan, who was eating happily beside him, and said, "Fourth princess, you said that your Cangwu Kingdom has a vast land and abundant resources, but do you have any interesting places or customs?"
His voice was not loud, but it was enough to attract the attention of the people at the table, and the table suddenly fell silent.
Cangwu Jingyuan was happily putting a piece of crystal meat into her mouth, when she saw Prince Beiyuan's sudden question, she was slightly taken aback and put down the chopsticks.
"Here, here." Prince Beiyuan pointed to the corner of his mouth with a half-smile.
Cangwu Jingyuan wiped it with a handkerchief, and a grain of rice stuck to the corner of her mouth.
"Fourth princess, you haven't answered my question yet?"
Seeing Prince Beiyuan asked again, Cangwu Jingyuan came back to her senses, she saw that the table was full of people staring at her, she didn't hold back, and just talked about her experience openly.
In fact, if it is now, it is absolutely impossible for her to know a lot of Cangwu's customs and customs. Once she is in the palace, she rarely has the opportunity to go out to visit the mountains and rivers. He just went to a few other palaces, and he was not favored at that time, so he seldom went out with the empress.
But after she became a queen, she went to some good places, and Shen Ye would tell him what she had seen and heard.Thinking about it this way, Cangwu Jingyuan was confident enough, she smiled mysteriously, and began to talk about some interesting experiences, "Speaking of the good places in Cangwu Kingdom, you must have heard of those famous mountains and rivers, so I won't repeat them Now, let me talk about some less famous but very interesting small places. In the southwest of Cangwu, there is a small town called 'Dwarf City', why do you guess it is called 'Dwarf City'?" Jing Cangwu Kite looked at Prince Beiyuan with interest.
"Probably because the people there are very short."
"On the contrary," Cangwu Jingyuan smiled slyly, "Most of the people there are taller, but the entrances of their houses are very short. Usually our doors are a whole, but they are not. Their doors There are two doors, one on the top and one on the bottom, which can be opened and closed separately, and they usually only open the bottom half of the door, not the top half, so if people want to go in, they have to go in with a cat, and it looks like they have become shorter, some Travelers passing by thought it was interesting, so they called it 'Dwarf City' and 'Dwarf City', and people called it 'Dwarf City' over time."
"Why did the people there make the door like that?" Prime Minister Beiyuan asked curiously.
"You don't believe it, but that is indeed their custom. It is said that a long time ago, the doors of the 'Dwarf City' were all in one piece, but there was a man surnamed Wang who split the door of his house in half after he was drunk. He didn’t fix the door if it was broken, so he just left it there. This man surnamed Wang was poor and couldn’t marry a wife. Once he went hunting in the mountains and met a beautiful woman. The refugee escaped and hadn't eaten for several days and nights, and asked the man surnamed Wang to take her in. The man surnamed Wang saw her, so he agreed to the woman, but only wanted the woman to marry him, and the woman agreed. "
"A beautiful woman in the wilderness, is that woman a mountain spirit or a ghost?" The prince Beiyuan couldn't help interrupting, and Cangwu Jingyuan motioned him to continue listening: "This woman is also a hardworking person. After they got married, they lived with the man surnamed Wang wholeheartedly. At that time, Wang Er had stopped hunting and sold some herbs. One day his neighbor told him that his wife would always take the family's food after he left. Half of the door was closed, so that people who went to his house had to bend over to go in. It was very inconvenient. Let him talk to his wife. The man surnamed Wang kept it in mind, and one day he deliberately went back early, and he saw that the house was closed. He didn't want to bend down, so he went to knock on the door, but after knocking on the door for a long time, there was no one, so he got angry, bent down, and..."
Cangwu Jingyuan stopped suddenly, and Prince Beiyuan asked anxiously, "What happened next?"
"Then, they grabbed him in with both hands!" Cangwu Jingyuan suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed him. Prince Beiyuan was startled: "He's dead?"
"No, he lived. It turns out that the place where the man surnamed Wang was located happened to be at the junction. At that time, there was a witch who, in order to practice strange skills, created an illusion outside the "Dwarf City". Remind him, otherwise he will not be able to get out for the rest of his life. At that time, several people had disappeared. The villagers had no choice but to invite a superb magician, that is, the beautiful woman. The woman found that the man surnamed Wang's door was broken. The door was split into two halves, and the inside of the door was the real world, and the outside was an illusion, so she used her plan to close the upper half door and cast a spell on the lower half door, because everyone has curiosity and falls into the illusion by mistake. People are no exception. After hearing about this, they will poke their heads when they pass by. As long as they poke their heads, the woman will rescue them. Later, when the witch heard about this, she was very angry, but she There was no way to open the upper half of the door, so I had to bend down, and as soon as I probed, I was killed by the beautiful woman. Later, people in the 'Dwarf City' created this kind of weird door in order to ward off evil spirits. , I heard that this kind of door also has the function of distinguishing traitors, good people can get in, but evil people can't get in. Maybe you can try it next time."
Cangwu Jingyuan took a meaningful look at the crowd after speaking, and found that everyone at the table had different expressions, but Prince Beiyuan was quite yearning for it, and he said: "I didn't expect such a place to exist, I must go and see it if I have the chance. "
Then Cangwu Jingyuan told some anecdotes. She was well-informed and eloquent, which immediately attracted everyone, and they had a delicious meal.
In the end, Prince Beiyuan sincerely sent out an invitation, asking Cangwu Jingyuan to be their guide when the time came, Cangwu Jingyuan thought that she could travel with Bai Qian by the way, so she readily agreed, and the two chatted while walking.
Looking at the backs of Cangwu Jingyuan and Prince Beiyuan, Cangwu Jinxiu, who was standing behind them, gritted her teeth secretly. She has nowhere to vent her anger. She is clearly the main person in charge, and she even spent a lot of money on it. In the Zuixian Tower, I wanted to please Prince Beiyuan's favor, but I didn't expect to make wedding clothes for her in the end.
If it was in the past, she would have slapped her no matter who was present, but on the one hand, Cangwu Jingyuan is different now, and on the other hand, her father repeatedly warned her not to lose her temper at will, so Cangwu Jinxiu was forced He suppressed the breath forcefully.
"Eldest princess, let's go." The maid who accompanied her reminded her, but Cangwu Jinxiu gave her a fierce slap in return. She twisted her eyebrows and said, "What are you, you dare to point fingers at me!"
Considering that the Beiyuan Mission just arrived in Beijing today, Cangwu Jinxiu did not prepare any additional programs, but arranged for them to stay in the post house. After a rest, they will be taken to experience the prosperity of Cangwu in Beijing tomorrow, and then bring them When they entered the palace, everyone agreed to the itinerary, but for some reason, Cangwu Jingyuan felt a little uneasy, as if something was about to happen.
That night, Cangwu Jinxiu returned to the palace to return to her command, but she let Cangwu Jingyuan stay in the post house, saying it was just in case.Cangwu Jingyuan lay with her clothes all night, not daring to sleep too hard. When it was near midnight, she suddenly heard slight footsteps outside the door, which seemed to be accompanied by the sound of cloth rubbing. Cangwu Jingyuan sat up vigilantly, As soon as he opened the door, he saw a silver light coming, Cangwu Jingyuan quickly drew out his sword with a quick hand, and stabbed him with a backhand, and then several men in black ran out from the darkness.
"Catch the assassin!" Someone screamed.
"Princess." Wuying drew out his sword and dealt with the two at once.
"Leave me alone, go to the Beiyuan prince and strengthen the defense of the Beiyuan mission. If possible, try to minimize the impact on the mission." Wuying was still standing where he was, Cangwu Jingyuan could not help but sternly shouted: "Go!"
Cangwu Jingyuan had to deal with those black-clothed men, but when she wanted to interrogate them, she found that these black-clothed men had all committed suicide by taking poison. Walking to the main room, the area was brightly lit, a few guards were slightly injured, but luckily no one in the mission was injured.
The main task of Cangwu Jingyuan is to understand the route of the mission to Beijing, to ensure that there will be no killers or assassins on this road, so as not to fail to negotiate a peace, and the Cangwu Kingdom will be settled instead.
Cangwu Jingyuan is quite confident in her current martial arts, so she changed into plain clothes the next day and left the palace with Qinghe.
The route for the mission to enter the palace belongs to the main road in the capital, and when she turned into an alley, she suddenly felt a chill in her lower back, and a sharp dagger was pressed against her waist, and she raised her hand to stop Qinghe's movements.
"Don't say anything, or I'll kill you." The man who spoke was a tall man with a deep voice, who seemed to be injured, and his internal strength was weak, but Cangwu Jingyuan didn't panic because she didn't feel the man's killing intent, and said It's strange, even though it was the first time they met, Cangwu Jingyuan inexplicably believed that this person would not hurt her.
"Wait a minute, if someone asks you if you've seen a man, just say that he ran away in the opposite direction." The man ordered dumbly, and as soon as the words fell, two men in black robes came over, and the man hid The position is just a blind spot of vision, and Cangwu Jingyuan can feel his body tense at this moment.
At the same time, several men ran over, "Girl, did you just see a man in a blue robe with a wound on his chest?"
Cangwu Jingyuan calmly pointed in another direction: "He seems to have escaped from there."
The two men in black looked at each other and left.
"Can you let me go?" Cangwu Jingyuan turned around, and saw a pale man with sharp edges and corners leaning weakly against the wall, blood gushing from his chest, obviously seriously injured.
After all, Cangwu Jingyuan had studied medicine with Shen Chen for a period of time, and she had brought some medicine to stop bleeding and treat poison with her. Seeing that he was in critical condition, Cangwu Jingyuan gave him a simple bandage first, and then placed him in Bai Qian's ward outside the palace. mansion, and arranged for someone to take care of it.
"Are you the fourth princess of Cangwu Kingdom?" the man asked in a deep voice while allowing her to help him deal with his wound.
Cangwu Jingyuan raised her eyebrows, "Have you seen me?" She seldom goes out of the palace on weekdays, so she was curious when she saw her.
The man hooked his lips, "As the number one killer organization in Cangwu Kingdom, a sky-level killer, it is natural to find out the information of each mission target."
Hearing this, Cangwu Jingyuan frowned slightly, "Mission target? You mean I'm on the reward list of your killer organization?"
The man nodded and said: "However, the amount of the reward is not high, and you are a princess no matter how poor your status is, so no one has accepted it yet."
Cangwu Jingyuan frowned, knowing that there are rules in their profession and they cannot reveal the identity of the reward offerer, so she didn't ask too much, looked at him and said, "Why are those people chasing you today?"
Hearing this, the man chuckled and said: "Isn't it normal for a killer to have a feud in the arena? I was unlucky today too. I just finished a mission and I was injured a little bit. When I met them, if I didn't With your appearance, I am afraid that I have already killed them."
Cangwu Jingyuan frowned when he heard him say such a matter of life and death calmly, "I also wanted to protect myself at that time."
Hearing this, the man said seriously: "I never like to owe anyone anything, today you saved my life, and I will protect you for three years from now on, so I have the right to repay your kindness for saving my life today."
As he spoke, the man didn't wait for Cangwu Jingyuan to respond, and directly bowed his hands to her and said Cangwu Jingyuan, "During these three years, the princess can call me Wuying."
Seeing that he was so stubborn, Cangwu Jingyuan refused, but he was indifferent, thinking that it was nothing more than a number of guards, so he followed him.
Leaving Wuying in the prime minister's mansion to recuperate, Cangwu Jingyuan took Qinghe back to the palace, and as soon as he arrived at the gate of Chaoyang Palace, he saw Bai Qian waiting at the gate of the palace, and quickly went up to meet him.
Leading Bai Qian into Chaoyang Palace, Cangwu Jingyuan asked, "What's the rush?"
Bai Qian said calmly, "I heard that you are going to assist the Eldest Princess in receiving missions from neighboring countries. Is it true?"
Cangwu Jingyuan nodded, and said with a bit of heartiness in her eyes: "That's right, I suggested it to your lord."
Cangwu Jingyuan originally thought that Bai Qian would be happy for her when she heard the news, but Bai Qian frowned and said, "You shouldn't have taken on this job, you can replace it now, go and talk to me quickly." Please resign, Your Majesty."
"Why?" Cangwu Jingyuan stopped in confusion: "This is obviously a good opportunity to stabilize my position in the palace, so why not do it?"
"It's a good opportunity for someone else, but not necessarily for you."
Bai Qian looked at Cangwu Jingyuan and pondered for a moment and said, "Since you first showed your talents at the Peony Poetry Meeting, there have been many unreasonable disasters all of a sudden. Think about it, this time the reception of the queen entrusted the eldest princess Cangwu Jinxiu for the first time, which is enough. It shows that she attaches great importance to Cangwu Jinxiu, and also shows the importance of this event. No matter how incompetent Cangwu Jinxiu is, there is the queen's favor and Shen Huangfu's guidance behind her. Even if something goes wrong, no one will dare to tell the truth. But you It's different, you were so unknown, and you got such a coveted job all of a sudden, how many people would hold grudges against you because of this? I know you want to make some achievements, but let yourself become the target of public criticism, It’s really not a wise move.”
After hearing Bai Qian's words, Cangwu Jingyuan sighed and said, "I've thought about all of this, but Bai Qian, now that the emperor's wife and eldest princess are eyeing me, do you think it would be useful if I hold back again and again at this time? ?I can only make the other party fear me if I gradually strengthen myself. So this time, I don’t want to back down anymore. Whether it’s a target or a thorn in someone’s side, this time, I must go Do."
Bai Qian looked at the firmness in her eyes, but she couldn't be optimistic at all. Looking at her hand tightly held by Cangwu Jingyuan, Bai Qian faintly felt uneasy.
Seeing that she was worried, Cangwu Jingyuan sighed softly and took her into his arms, comforting her softly: "I know you are afraid that I will be the target of public criticism, but Bai Qian, I can't live forever under the wings of you and your lord, So just let me do it, okay?"
Bai Qian glanced at Cangwu Jingyuan, complaining a little, "You said to let me rest assured! What happened when you left the palace today?"
Unexpectedly, Bai Qian was so well-informed in the palace, Cangwu Jingyuan smiled, and told her the ins and outs of saving Wuying today.
Hearing this, Bai Qian glanced at Cangwu Jingyuan, "I knew you couldn't be let out of the palace, and after only a day out, I recruited a personal bodyguard who likes to stick around. If you go out for a long time..."
Seeing Bai Qian's dissatisfied look, Cangwu Jingyuan finally couldn't help laughing, raised her eyebrows and asked, "My prime minister really likes to be jealous, he's just a guard, what else can I do with him?"
Bai Qian raised her hand and tapped Jing Yuan's forehead and said, "I'm not poor with you, the queen even invited me to play chess with her! Since you are determined to do this, you must be careful in everything, since That Wuying's martial arts are extremely strong as you said, then you can take him and Qinghe with you, and I can feel more at ease."
Cangwu Jingyuan's eyes gradually softened, he touched Bai Qian's head, and said in a warm voice: "Don't worry, I will be careful even for you."
After speaking, Cangwu Jingyuan knew that Bai Qian was in a hurry to leave, so she sent her out of Chaoyang Palace, and went back to practice swords by herself.
The mission of the neighboring country has already entered Beijing, and it is estimated that they will arrive in Kyoto in two days. Cangwu Jingyuan has been inspecting outside the palace for the past few days, and her life is free. Of course, if there are fewer injuries around her Well, it would be better to just stay by her side and say to protect her Wuying
This day, when she was inspecting restaurants and teahouses around Kyoto, she saw a small teahouse called "Where to Go, No Return". blocked.
"Princess, this kind of small teahouse is full of people, it's better to go less in your capacity." Wu Ying stood in front of her, looking like an enemy, Cangwu Jingyuan smiled and said: "First, Don't call me princess outside the palace, call me son." She pointed to the men's clothes on her body.Second, the small teahouse is the best place to get news, even though there are a lot of fish and dragons.Finally, what you have to remember is that you have to repay the favor, not I need your protection, I can solve the danger by myself, so can we go in now, Shadowless Hero? "
Seeing Cangwu Jingyuan who was very interested, Wuying couldn't bear to touch her again, so he could only give way slightly.
"Thank you." Cangwu Jingyuan patted Wuying's shoulder vigorously, then opened the paper fan, and walked into the hall gracefully with his hands behind his back.
Wuying touched his aching shoulder, sighed a little dumbfounded, and then walked in.
As soon as Cangwu Jingyuan and Wuying entered the door, they attracted a lot of attention. Although it is not uncommon to see rich and important people under the feet of the emperor, it is impossible to find such a handsome and noble young man in ten, let alone This young man looked unrestrained and relaxed, with a personable demeanor, but after a while, some girls and daughters-in-law in the teahouse blushed and secretly looked at him.
Wuying frowned unhappily, and blocked Cangwu Jingyuan intentionally or unintentionally, but Cangwu Jingyuan didn't care much, and gently shook the paper fan to push him aside.
"What do the two guest officers want?" The waiter in the shop is a discerning person. Seeing that the two people have extraordinary manners, they must be either rich or expensive, so he hastily greeted them with a smile.
"A pot of clear tea, two stacks of refreshments, if you are too slow, I won't give you money." Cangwu Jingyuan said as she closed her fan and tapped Xiaoer's shoulder.
"Okay, where are you?" The shop waiter didn't dare to neglect, and quickly brought out all the signboards in the shop.
"Don't be suspicious all the time, drink a cup of tea." Cangwu Jingyuan saw that Wuying was always vigilant, so she couldn't help pouring him a cup of tea, Wuying didn't speak, and slowly sipped the tea.
"Hey, do you know? I heard that the eldest princess is in charge of the contact of the mission to Beijing this time." After drinking tea for a while, Cangwu Jingyuan heard the person at the next table talk about it.
"Which eldest princess?"
"Hey, it looks like you are from another place. You don't even know Princess Jinxiu, but she is the queen's favorite person."
"Being able to receive missions, then the eldest princess must be very powerful, right?"
"That's not true, she is beautiful and talented, let me tell you," the man who spoke lowered his voice, "The next eldest princess may be her, it is said that all the eldest princesses of my dynasty have received missions. "
"That is, that is." Others echoed a few words, and changed the subject again.
Cangwu Jingyuan drank tea quietly, and she had already realized something. In the past two days, no matter where she went, she could "just happen" to hear people's praise of Cangwu's beauty, or praise her for being smart and exquisite, Or cryptically say that she is the future eldest princess, in short, it looks like Cangwu Jinxiu hired people to make her appearance in order to successfully become the eldest princess in the future.Cangwu Jingyuan felt that this must be the method that the imperial husband came up with for Cangwu Jinxiu, first to lay a good foundation for the masses, and then the queen could not let the queen not "follow the hearts of the people".
"She is trying to put all the credit and reputation on herself." It took Wuying a long time to say a word, but Cangwu Jingyuan just smiled, she would not do such a thing, after all, the king's heart is unpredictable ah.
The Beiyuan Kingdom Mission finally arrived in Kyoto. Cangwu Jingyuan and Cangwu Jinxiu went to the outer gate of Kyoto to greet them early in the morning. Cangwu Jinxiu wanted to show off her identity, and her body was covered with golden threads embroidered with birds and phoenixes. The palace skirt, and the golden hairpin are shaking again, and you have to stop for three steps when you take one step.
On the other hand, Cangwu Jingyuan is just wearing a simple blue palace dress, with white clouds embroidered on the cuffs and neckline, and a water-blue hairpin pinned in her hair, which is both polite and agile.
This palace dress was chosen by Bai Qian for Cangwu Jingyuan. She originally wanted to do a bun for Cangwu Jingyuan herself, but she was obviously not very good at doing other people's hair, so she had to give up.Thinking of Bai Qian, Cangwu Jingyuan couldn't help curling the corners of her lips, her mood brightened a lot.
"The mission of the neighboring country has arrived." Someone whispered something, Cang Wu Jingyuan raised his head, and saw the rumbling chariots approaching slowly, and the one walking in the front was a white-faced and beardless man, riding on the horse. , with a gentle face, followed by a soft sedan chair with a golden roof, carried by four people.
Cangwu Jingyuan guessed that the person in the sedan chair was the prince of Beiyuan Kingdom. I heard that he was the main person in charge of the envoys. Behind the carriages and horses, as usual, were gold and silver jewels, rare tributes, and even some pretty faces. Nice young man woman.
Cangwu Jinxiu couldn't wait to go forward, the man on horseback got off his horse a few dozen steps away from them, and then said something to the people in the soft sedan, and then, a hand with strong bones came out of the soft sedan Stretched out, opened the car curtain.
When the prince from the neighboring country came out, Cangwu Jingyuan found that Cangwu Jinxiu was frozen in place, not because she was afraid, but probably because she was watching him. The prince from the neighboring country had a face that was more beautiful than a woman, and she didn’t smile. Zi Hanchun's peach blossom eyes, straight and thin lips, and a slightly evil smile on the corner of his mouth, even Cangwu Jingyuan, who had seen countless beautiful men before his rebirth, has to admit that the prince of the neighboring country is indeed intoxicating capital, but the immediate thing is not to look at handsome men.
Seeing that Cangwu Jinxiu had been silent all this time, and the other party was also looking at her with half-smile eyes, Cangwu Jingyuan had no choice but to take a step forward and say, "I am Cangwu Jingyuan, the fourth princess of the Cangwu Kingdom. Cangwu Jinxiu came to meet all of you, the so-called visitor is a guest, since you have come from afar, today you are our guests from Cangwu Kingdom, all the next matters for you will be arranged by me and Huang Jie, please return to me in the next few days Don't worry about being a guest, I, Cangwu, will definitely do my best as a landlord.
"You are Cangwu Jingyuan?" The prince of Beiyuan Kingdom squinted his eyes unceremoniously and looked at him: "The cowardly and unfavored fourth princess?"
"The prince doesn't need to listen to rumors," Cangwu Jingyuan still maintained a smile: "I am indeed the fourth princess of the dynasty, but cowardice and disfavor are all rumors. I also hope that the prince will not follow what others say, and believe what he listens to."
During the back-and-forth questions and answers between the two, Cangwu Jinxiu finally woke up from the surprise, seeing that Cangwu Jingyuan had already spoken to Prince Beiyuan, she didn't care too much, and stood in front of Cangwu Jingyuan and said: "I am Cangwu Jinxiu, Princess Cangwu of the Kingdom of Cangwu. I am the main receptionist and person in charge. You must have traveled a long way and must be exhausted and tired. I have already prepared thin wine in the Drunken Immortal Tower to cleanse everyone. How about Let's exchange the cultures of the two countries when we get there.
Zuixian Tower, Cangwu Jinxiu is really a big deal.Cangwu Jingyuan couldn't help turning her head to look at her. This Zuixianlou is the most famous restaurant in the capital. Some of the dishes there are not available even if you have money. If you want to have a meal in Zuixianlou, It is not enough to have money, but also to have a certain status.
In fact, Cangwu Jinxiu didn't intend to hold a dust-cleaning banquet in the Zuixian Tower at first, she thought that the people who came must be a group of old and pedantic old men, so she specially recited some poems, she knew that the leader of the group was Beiyuan The prince, but she didn't expect that this prince is so young and so handsome. If she can get his love, it will not only be an excellent opportunity to win people's hearts, but also greatly satisfy her own vanity, so she decided to hold a banquet impromptu In Zuixianlou, Cangwu Jinxiu made up her mind to let Prince Beiyuan feel the charm of her Princess Cangwu.
A group of people arrived at the Drunken Immortal Tower in a mighty way, and the shopkeeper didn't dare to neglect, and quickly gave up the best wing.
In order to show her identity, Cangwu Jinxiu sat on the main seat as soon as she entered the room, Cangwu Jingyuan was not so particular, she just sat down at a random place, she was full of the delicious dishes of Zuixianlou, everyone They all took their seats one after another, but when they came to Prince Beiyuan, they frowned slightly.
"Prince Beiyuan, please sit down." Cangwu Jinxiu looked at him suggestively.
"You, go over there." Prince Beiyuan didn't seem to see Cangwu Jinxiu's hint, so he asked a follower sitting next to Cangwu Jingyuan to sit next to Cangwu Jinxiu, while he himself sat down on Cangwu Jingyuan next to.
"It's a bit boring over there, I'll just sit here." Listening to Prince Beiyuan's polite explanation, Cangwu Jinxiu managed to maintain a smile even though she felt uncomfortable, but she secretly stared at Cangwu Jingyuan several times, She felt that Cangwu Jingyuan just stole her limelight, in order to attract Prince Beiyuan's attention.
If Cangwu Jingyuan knew what she was thinking at this moment, she would definitely say that she was thinking too much.
The dishes came out quickly, and the delicious dishes made people couldn't help but twitch their index fingers. Cangwu Jingyuan started to eat big pieces with the attitude of not eating for nothing, and she didn't care about her status as a princess at this time , the envoy from the neighboring country, I only know that Zuixianlou's dishes are really well-deserved, and I want to bring Bai Qian to eat with me next time.
Cangwu Jinxiu felt better when she saw Cangwu Jingyuan only eating with her head down, because she is more favored and enjoys it more. She has been to this Zuixian Tower many times, and she can name all the dishes. This is why, seeing that Prince Beiyuan was just holding up the chopsticks and not lowering the chopsticks, he couldn't help but put a piece of "floating gold and silver" into his bowl.
"This 'Floating Gold and Silver' dish is fried with fine shrimp wrapped in rice. It is fragrant but not greasy, crisp and easy to melt. It is the signature dish of Zuixianlou. Prince, please try it."
Prince Beiyuan ate one and showed a satisfied expression: "Not bad, it really is delicious."
Cangwu Jinxiu was overjoyed, and she wanted to show off, so she introduced each dish one by one. At first, Prince Beiyuan would put down his chopsticks to taste a few mouthfuls, but he became a little impatient after listening. He didn't care about Cangwu Jinxiu. The other side talked happily, and pushed Cangwu Jingyuan, who was eating happily beside him, and said, "Fourth princess, you said that your Cangwu Kingdom has a vast land and abundant resources, but do you have any interesting places or customs?"
His voice was not loud, but it was enough to attract the attention of the people at the table, and the table suddenly fell silent.
Cangwu Jingyuan was happily putting a piece of crystal meat into her mouth, when she saw Prince Beiyuan's sudden question, she was slightly taken aback and put down the chopsticks.
"Here, here." Prince Beiyuan pointed to the corner of his mouth with a half-smile.
Cangwu Jingyuan wiped it with a handkerchief, and a grain of rice stuck to the corner of her mouth.
"Fourth princess, you haven't answered my question yet?"
Seeing Prince Beiyuan asked again, Cangwu Jingyuan came back to her senses, she saw that the table was full of people staring at her, she didn't hold back, and just talked about her experience openly.
In fact, if it is now, it is absolutely impossible for her to know a lot of Cangwu's customs and customs. Once she is in the palace, she rarely has the opportunity to go out to visit the mountains and rivers. He just went to a few other palaces, and he was not favored at that time, so he seldom went out with the empress.
But after she became a queen, she went to some good places, and Shen Ye would tell him what she had seen and heard.Thinking about it this way, Cangwu Jingyuan was confident enough, she smiled mysteriously, and began to talk about some interesting experiences, "Speaking of the good places in Cangwu Kingdom, you must have heard of those famous mountains and rivers, so I won't repeat them Now, let me talk about some less famous but very interesting small places. In the southwest of Cangwu, there is a small town called 'Dwarf City', why do you guess it is called 'Dwarf City'?" Jing Cangwu Kite looked at Prince Beiyuan with interest.
"Probably because the people there are very short."
"On the contrary," Cangwu Jingyuan smiled slyly, "Most of the people there are taller, but the entrances of their houses are very short. Usually our doors are a whole, but they are not. Their doors There are two doors, one on the top and one on the bottom, which can be opened and closed separately, and they usually only open the bottom half of the door, not the top half, so if people want to go in, they have to go in with a cat, and it looks like they have become shorter, some Travelers passing by thought it was interesting, so they called it 'Dwarf City' and 'Dwarf City', and people called it 'Dwarf City' over time."
"Why did the people there make the door like that?" Prime Minister Beiyuan asked curiously.
"You don't believe it, but that is indeed their custom. It is said that a long time ago, the doors of the 'Dwarf City' were all in one piece, but there was a man surnamed Wang who split the door of his house in half after he was drunk. He didn’t fix the door if it was broken, so he just left it there. This man surnamed Wang was poor and couldn’t marry a wife. Once he went hunting in the mountains and met a beautiful woman. The refugee escaped and hadn't eaten for several days and nights, and asked the man surnamed Wang to take her in. The man surnamed Wang saw her, so he agreed to the woman, but only wanted the woman to marry him, and the woman agreed. "
"A beautiful woman in the wilderness, is that woman a mountain spirit or a ghost?" The prince Beiyuan couldn't help interrupting, and Cangwu Jingyuan motioned him to continue listening: "This woman is also a hardworking person. After they got married, they lived with the man surnamed Wang wholeheartedly. At that time, Wang Er had stopped hunting and sold some herbs. One day his neighbor told him that his wife would always take the family's food after he left. Half of the door was closed, so that people who went to his house had to bend over to go in. It was very inconvenient. Let him talk to his wife. The man surnamed Wang kept it in mind, and one day he deliberately went back early, and he saw that the house was closed. He didn't want to bend down, so he went to knock on the door, but after knocking on the door for a long time, there was no one, so he got angry, bent down, and..."
Cangwu Jingyuan stopped suddenly, and Prince Beiyuan asked anxiously, "What happened next?"
"Then, they grabbed him in with both hands!" Cangwu Jingyuan suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed him. Prince Beiyuan was startled: "He's dead?"
"No, he lived. It turns out that the place where the man surnamed Wang was located happened to be at the junction. At that time, there was a witch who, in order to practice strange skills, created an illusion outside the "Dwarf City". Remind him, otherwise he will not be able to get out for the rest of his life. At that time, several people had disappeared. The villagers had no choice but to invite a superb magician, that is, the beautiful woman. The woman found that the man surnamed Wang's door was broken. The door was split into two halves, and the inside of the door was the real world, and the outside was an illusion, so she used her plan to close the upper half door and cast a spell on the lower half door, because everyone has curiosity and falls into the illusion by mistake. People are no exception. After hearing about this, they will poke their heads when they pass by. As long as they poke their heads, the woman will rescue them. Later, when the witch heard about this, she was very angry, but she There was no way to open the upper half of the door, so I had to bend down, and as soon as I probed, I was killed by the beautiful woman. Later, people in the 'Dwarf City' created this kind of weird door in order to ward off evil spirits. , I heard that this kind of door also has the function of distinguishing traitors, good people can get in, but evil people can't get in. Maybe you can try it next time."
Cangwu Jingyuan took a meaningful look at the crowd after speaking, and found that everyone at the table had different expressions, but Prince Beiyuan was quite yearning for it, and he said: "I didn't expect such a place to exist, I must go and see it if I have the chance. "
Then Cangwu Jingyuan told some anecdotes. She was well-informed and eloquent, which immediately attracted everyone, and they had a delicious meal.
In the end, Prince Beiyuan sincerely sent out an invitation, asking Cangwu Jingyuan to be their guide when the time came, Cangwu Jingyuan thought that she could travel with Bai Qian by the way, so she readily agreed, and the two chatted while walking.
Looking at the backs of Cangwu Jingyuan and Prince Beiyuan, Cangwu Jinxiu, who was standing behind them, gritted her teeth secretly. She has nowhere to vent her anger. She is clearly the main person in charge, and she even spent a lot of money on it. In the Zuixian Tower, I wanted to please Prince Beiyuan's favor, but I didn't expect to make wedding clothes for her in the end.
If it was in the past, she would have slapped her no matter who was present, but on the one hand, Cangwu Jingyuan is different now, and on the other hand, her father repeatedly warned her not to lose her temper at will, so Cangwu Jinxiu was forced He suppressed the breath forcefully.
"Eldest princess, let's go." The maid who accompanied her reminded her, but Cangwu Jinxiu gave her a fierce slap in return. She twisted her eyebrows and said, "What are you, you dare to point fingers at me!"
Considering that the Beiyuan Mission just arrived in Beijing today, Cangwu Jinxiu did not prepare any additional programs, but arranged for them to stay in the post house. After a rest, they will be taken to experience the prosperity of Cangwu in Beijing tomorrow, and then bring them When they entered the palace, everyone agreed to the itinerary, but for some reason, Cangwu Jingyuan felt a little uneasy, as if something was about to happen.
That night, Cangwu Jinxiu returned to the palace to return to her command, but she let Cangwu Jingyuan stay in the post house, saying it was just in case.Cangwu Jingyuan lay with her clothes all night, not daring to sleep too hard. When it was near midnight, she suddenly heard slight footsteps outside the door, which seemed to be accompanied by the sound of cloth rubbing. Cangwu Jingyuan sat up vigilantly, As soon as he opened the door, he saw a silver light coming, Cangwu Jingyuan quickly drew out his sword with a quick hand, and stabbed him with a backhand, and then several men in black ran out from the darkness.
"Catch the assassin!" Someone screamed.
"Princess." Wuying drew out his sword and dealt with the two at once.
"Leave me alone, go to the Beiyuan prince and strengthen the defense of the Beiyuan mission. If possible, try to minimize the impact on the mission." Wuying was still standing where he was, Cangwu Jingyuan could not help but sternly shouted: "Go!"
Cangwu Jingyuan had to deal with those black-clothed men, but when she wanted to interrogate them, she found that these black-clothed men had all committed suicide by taking poison. Walking to the main room, the area was brightly lit, a few guards were slightly injured, but luckily no one in the mission was injured.
