After searching around the forest, no trace of Lian Zhi was found. Instead, the dead men in black were found.

Fan Ninghuai looked at the man in black who had fallen to the ground and clenched his hands into fists behind his back.

"The regent is the hand of Lian Zhi." As one of the few insiders, Mu Yi knew that Lian Zhi replaced Lin Wanyang and kissed Xi Chu. He and Lian Zhi were also familiar with each other, and he was familiar with Lian Zhi's tricks.

Know a little bit.

How could Fan Ninghuai not see that it was Lian Zhi's moving hand: "It seems that our previous guess was wrong. It was not Lian Zhi who was injured, but the person who was traveling with her. In order to protect that person, she deliberately led these assassins to

Kill here."

"But who can Miss Lian Zhi know?" Mu Yi knew very well that Lian Zhi could not have friends around him, and if it was someone he had met for the first time, why would Lian Zhi need to save him?

"I am also very curious about who she is attacking for." Fan Ninghuai's expression looked even more gloomy. He originally thought that he was the only one in Lian Zhi's world, but he didn't expect that it was not like this.

Several guards came over here and reported: "Your Majesty, we have just received news that the princess has arrived safely in the Western Chu army."

"What did you say?" Lian Zhi's willingness to go to Xi Chu caught Fan Ninghuai off guard. He originally thought that Lian Zhi would run away, but he didn't expect that Lian Zhi would rather go to Xi Chu than return to him.

"The news is true. General An has also joined the Western Chu army and will continue to set off for the capital of Western Chu in the near future."

Fan Ninghuai glanced at Mu Yi, who lowered his head and did not dare to look at Fan Ninghuai.

"She is really ruthless!" Fan Ninghuai turned around and left. Now he had no intention of looking for Lian Zhi anymore, so he could only give up.

But one day, he will definitely let Lian Zhi return to him willingly. From the moment he brings Lian Zhi back to the palace, it will be impossible for Lian Zhi to escape from him in this life, and he will never allow it.

Although General Anping led his people to escape from Yunfeng before, he almost led his people back to Yunfeng to look for the princess when he thought of the princess's disappearance. At this time, Meng Ling, a young general from Xichu, actually escorted the princess back safely.

When Anping saw that the princess was fine, he quickly asked Suyue to take her to freshen up. He originally wanted to thank Meng Ling in person, but the people in Xichu refused to let him visit Meng Ling on the grounds that Meng Ling was injured and needed to rest, so Anping had no choice but to give up.

.

After taking a bath, Lian Zhi changed into another set of clothes. Su Yue packed up the clothes that Lian Zhi had changed: "Princess, these clothes are damaged, please go and throw them away." As she was talking, she found a hairpin falling and immediately

Picked it up, "Princess, where did this hairpin come from?"

"Give me the hairpin and take the clothes away." Lian Zhi ordered.

Su Yue put the hairpin aside, took the clothes and went down: "The princess will rest first, and the servant will go down first. If you have any instructions, just call the slave. I will be waiting at the door."

After Su Yue left, Lian Zhi picked up the hairpin. It was time to return the hairpin to Meng Ling, but it was inconvenient for her to go to Meng Ling immediately and wait until tomorrow to return it to Meng Ling.

Now the Dong Xia peacemaking mission has merged with the West Chu marriage welcoming mission. Because Dong Xia suffered heavy losses in Yunfeng and has already arrived in West Chu, the next important task falls on the West Chu marriage welcoming mission.

The mission set off early the next morning. Anping was very dissatisfied with this decision. He planned to rest for a few more days, but now he had no choice but to set off. What surprised Anping was that he originally thought that Lin Wanyang

There would be complaints, but Lin Wanyang didn't say a word and got on the bus directly.

Lin Wanyang was the most beloved daughter of the King of Dongxia during his lifetime. The King of Dongxia died young, and it was Lin Wanyang who supported his younger brother to ascend the throne, and she has always been in power. The defense between men and women in Dongxia is still very serious, and Lin Wanyang usually

She always covered her face when meeting foreign ministers, so not many people had seen her appearance.

Anping had already shown his talents before taking over the important task of the peace mission, but he had not yet reached the point where Lin Wanyang would turn his attention. Therefore, he had no contact with Lin Wanyang before. Regarding Lin Wanyang's reputation, he

I have heard a little bit about it. If this princess were born as a boy, she would probably ascend to the throne. She is indeed very resourceful, but her temper is also notoriously bad. She is born delicate and cannot endure much hardship. Most people see her as a princess.

She always takes a detour.

This time, Anping was asked to take charge of the marriage mission. He himself was shocked, but the emperor's order was unavoidable and he had no choice but to go ahead. As a result, the princess he saw was completely different from the one in the rumors. She was quiet and scary.

He would never complain about anything, let alone beat or scold the palace officials.

But Lin Wanyang like this made Anping even more uneasy, and he could only serve him more carefully.

Lin Wanyang didn't say anything today, but when she took a break, she asked about the young general Meng Ling. The people from Xichu replied that they had returned to the capital as soon as last night.

Lian Zhi was a little surprised when he heard the answer: "Isn't he still injured?"

"How many people can fight in these days without getting hurt?"

Lian Zhi didn't say anything more, she just turned around and got on the carriage. After she sat down, she took out the hairpin. She wondered if there would be a chance to return the hairpin to him...

What followed was a boring long journey, and it took two months to reach Chujing, the capital of Western Chu.

"Princess, we finally arrived in Chujing. I have been really tired these past two months." Su Yue and Lian Zhi have been getting along for nearly four months, and they have also discovered that this princess is actually very easy to get along with despite not being talkative.

He gradually became more courageous, "These soldiers of Western Chu are really different from those of Dongxia. They refused to rest along the way."

Su Yue originally thought that Lian Zhi would not answer her words, but unexpectedly Lian Zhi actually spoke: "It is not unreasonable that Xi Chu's national power has become stronger and stronger in recent years. Otherwise, how could Dong Xia let me, the princess of the Zhen Kingdom, get married for the sake of border security?

Woolen cloth?"

Even though Suyue was just a little palace maid before, she knew that today's Dongxia was definitely not as good as Xichu. Princess Zhenguo was far from being comparable to ordinary princesses. But in the face of Xichu's marriage request, she could only compromise.

I understand, I understand. Seeing Lian Zhi's depressed look all day long, Su Yue still couldn't bear it: "Princess, I believe that people like you can live a good life no matter where they are."

Su Yue believed that since people like Lin Wanyang could stabilize Eastern Xia in chaos after the death of the King of Eastern Xia, they could live a good life even in Western Chu. Unfortunately, Lian Zhi was not Lin Wanyang, but

Lian Zhi also believes that no matter what the future holds, her life will not be more difficult than before.

"You little palace maid, what you say is somewhat interesting." Lian Zhi raised his head and looked at the sky, "The sunshine is so beautiful."

"The weather these days is really good." Su Yue agreed.

A sarcastic smile appeared at the corner of Lian Zhi's mouth. Did those days of not seeing the light of day really pass like this? Will she be able to live in the sunshine in the future?

She didn't like Lin Wanyang at first, because she knew that her marriage for Lin Wanyang was Lin Wanyang's plan. But only with Lin Wanyang's identity could she leave the dark underground palace. How ridiculous!

The motorcade quickly moved on and entered Chujing in the afternoon. When Su entered Chujing, he felt that it was very prosperous and the folk customs were much more open than those of Dongxia. Even the soldiers accompanying Dongxia couldn't help but take a few more glances.

In the bustling capital of Chu, only Lian Zhi stayed calmly in the carriage and never made any movement.

The motorcade stopped in front of the post house. Waiting here was Eunuch Li, the powerful eunuch beside the Emperor of Chu: "I respectfully welcome Princess Dongxia Zhenguo."

Su Yue helped Lian Zhi get out of the carriage. Lian Zhi listened to Eunuch Li's somewhat harsh voice and only said a few words without saying much.

Eunuch Li didn't show anything on his face: "Princess Zhenguo, you must be tired from the journey. You should have a good rest in the post house first, and then go to the banquet at You hour in the evening."

"Going to the banquet at Youshi?" Before Lianzhi said anything, Anping spoke first, "It's the last hour of the year, how can I still have time to rest?"

"Today, in order to receive Princess Zhenguo, all the royal family members will be present. I guess Princess Zhenguo can also attend the banquet on time?" Eunuch Li said with a smile.

Anping wanted to refute, but Lianzhi had already agreed: "I will naturally attend the banquet on time."

"Then I'll be relieved, old slave." Seeing Eunuch Li's proud look, Su Yue wanted to tear his old face off, but she also knew that Emperor Chu was trying to give Lin Wanyang a blow, so she could only endure it.

The rooms prepared for them in the post house were not neglected, but Lian Zhi had no time to rest at all. He had to bathe, change clothes, and attend the evening banquet.

"These people in Western Chu are really not easy to get along with. You have traveled and traveled for nearly four months. You should rest for two days before going to the audience. But today, as soon as you arrived in Chujing, I asked you to attend the banquet regardless of your fatigue. I clearly want you to

Make a fool of yourself." Su Yue said while wringing Lian Zhi's hair.

The princess was born with nobility. She had never endured such hardships before. I'm afraid she couldn't bear it long ago. Now she has no choice but to hold on in order not to damage Dongxia's face.

"Su Yue, this is not Dongxia. When speaking, you should know what can and cannot be said." Lian Zhi glanced at her. It was obviously just a look, but Su Yue felt like she was breaking out in a cold sweat. She immediately knelt down in fear.

The ground said: "This slave has overstepped the bounds."

Lian Zhi stretched out his hand to pull Su Yue up: "I know what you mean, but this is Xichu after all. If you really offend someone, I may not be able to protect you. So I hope you understand that you have to

If you keep this life well, you may have a chance to go back in the future. I don’t want to do it anymore in this life, but maybe you still have a chance."

When Su Yue heard Lian Zhi's words, the tip of her nose felt sour. She originally thought that she had no hope in this life, but after hearing these words, a warm current surged in her heart. The princess still considered her.

"Continue putting on makeup for me, we can't delay the evening banquet." Lian Zhi said calmly.

Su Yue didn't dare to delay. Lian Zhi looked at Su Yue and realized that the art of controlling her was to use kindness and power at the same time. She had no relatives and no reason to be here. If even her maidservant had second thoughts, she would really be doomed.
