Xie Jingchen had already guessed that Chu Nanzhi wanted to take him out of the capital. He shook his head angrily: "Even if you can take me out of the capital, little Zhizhi, there are all dangerous passes along the way. How can I return?"
To Stone Tart City?"
"It all depends on man."
Chu Nanzhi looked at him firmly: "I think Prince Xie knows better than me at the moment. If you continue to stay in Beijing and China, the peace talks will only be a mirror image and there is no hope."
"But if I leave Beijing at this time, how can you and your two children return to Luyan Port?"
Xie Jingchen replied after careful consideration: "Although staying in the capital as a hostage will aggravate the conflict between the two countries, at least King Qinghe will be much less guarded against you. I still have some arrangements in the capital, and I can think of ways to escort you out of the city.
"
Hearing this, Li Shiyao coughed quickly, fearing that he would expose something, but Xie Jingchen ignored it and continued: "If you can return to Luyan Port safely, my husband will definitely be able to think of a way to maintain peace between the two countries."
"But if this happens, Prince Xie is afraid that he will only die."
Chu Nanzhi reminded solemnly: "Does Prince Xie want to see your brother get his wish and let you die in a foreign country? Let the war between the two countries continue?"
"I really don't want to see this tragedy happen."
But in comparison, Xie Jingchen would rather see her return to Luyan Port safely.
After all, if she leaves Beijing now, King Qinghe will definitely doubt her.
"Okay, let's not talk about that today."
Chu Nanzhi knew that this guy was not a master who was willing to be manipulated by others. He didn't want to waste any more words and said with a smile: "Prince Xie and I met. Last time, I had no choice but to imprison Prince Xie and your delegation. I specially borrowed the place today."
A banquet will be held in the other courtyard to apologize for your sins."
"I know you are also doing it for my own good."
Xie Jingchen's anger had already subsided and he no longer complained about her at all. He said with a smile: "Under the circumstances at that time, if you had not proposed to detain us, I am afraid that the powerful people in Qinghe would not let us go."
"Prince Xie is really a smart man."
At this point, Chu Nanzhi deliberately looked at the unhappy Li Shiyao, smiled loudly and said outside the carriage: "I'm afraid that some people think I'm doing this deliberately, and I can't let it go."
Hearing these mocking words, Uncle Xie deliberately shouted and shook the horse, causing a commotion in the carriage.
"Uncle Six, please be careful, Princess Pingning is pregnant."
Xie Jingchen realized that he was deliberately causing trouble and scolded him dissatisfied.
"Anyway, this girl is full of evil intentions. I will never trust her again."
Uncle Xie Liu was full of resentment, but he still obeyed the riding whip in his hand and drove in the direction designated by Chu Nanzhi.
After leaving the south of the city, they drove along the official road for some distance, entered a narrow mountain road, and continued driving for more than twenty miles. Chu Nanzhi opened the car curtain and saw a bonfire flashing in front of him, so he asked Uncle Xie Liu to let him go.
Slowed down the speed.
When we arrived at the location illuminated by the fire, we found it was a secluded courtyard.
When the carriage stopped, someone opened the door and came out.
"General Bande, I have met Princess Pingning."
The first person to greet him was Bande, the guard at Chaoguang Gate. Today, he received orders from Chu Nanzhi and deliberately waited in this courtyard.
"Get up."
Chu Nanzhi got off the carriage and led a few people to follow Band into the courtyard. The followers behind him quickly led the carriage into the courtyard.
"The general has ordered his servants to prepare wine and food. The princess and all of you who have traveled so much have come over quickly. Please go to the Nuan Pavilion to drink two cups of hot wine to warm yourself up."
Bender warmly greeted everyone into a secluded house on the east side of the outer courtyard. The charcoal fire was burning brightly and thick curtains surrounded the room. As soon as they entered the house, they felt the warmth overflowing.
Chu Nanzhi took off the cloak on his back and smiled at everyone and said: "After traveling for such a long time, I am really hungry and thirsty."
Band eagerly brought a cup of tea first, handed it to her hand, and replied with concern: "It's freezing cold, so I have to bother the princess to come in person. I feel really sorry, so I invite the princess to drink a cup of hot tea first."
Warm yourself up."
Chu Nanzhi took the tea slowly, but something like white powder suddenly appeared in her hand, which made Bender stunned.
Chu Nanzhi smiled evilly at him, calmly sprinkled the powder into the teacup, stirred it evenly with her hands, then turned around and said to everyone with a smile: "General Ban, it is against the law to do this.
I have specially invited Prince Xie to come and talk about how to treat guests. How could you not serve tea to the guests first?"
As he spoke, he walked to the guest table, put down the tea cup in his hand, picked up the teapot on the table, filled several cups of tea one by one, and handed them to Xie Jingchen, Xie Liushu, and Li Shiyao, making an inviting gesture: "General Ban is a
You bastard, please stop blaming Prince Xie, you three, please have some tea."
After saying this, he picked up the tea cup in front of him and started to drink.
"Wait a minute."
Uncle Xie Liu glanced at the cups of tea on the table with some worry, and grinned slyly: "Isn't this girl trying to harm my Highness again?"
"Uncle Xie Liu is really attentive."
Chu Nanzhi pursed her lips and smiled at him, took the initiative to put the tea cup in her hand in front of Xie Jingchen, replaced it with the hot tea poured for him and drank it all in one gulp, then slowly spread her hands: "I was indeed talking to a few of you earlier.
I was not very friendly, so I’m going to apologize today.”
Xie Jingchen felt a little angry at Uncle Xie Liu's sudden behavior. He glared at him dissatisfied and said angrily: "Uncle Six, please don't be rude."
After scolding Uncle Xie, he calmly picked up the tea cup in front of him and drank it. He tasted it carefully and nodded repeatedly: "Good tea, good tea, sweet and delicious, and an indescribable aroma, which makes people have endless aftertaste."
"This is the new winter tea that I bought from the tea merchants in Jinling City. Although it is not as good as the imperial tea, it is indeed a top-grade tea."
Band stared at Prince Xie with a puzzled look on his face, seeing the intoxicated look on his face. He had never seen anyone look so intoxicated after drinking tea mixed with Mongolian sweat medicine.
It's just that he really doesn't understand that Princess Pingning wants to use Mongolian sweat medicine to deal with Prince Xie, but he doesn't dare to take action.
Seeing this, Uncle Xie Liu and Li Shiyao calmly picked up the tea cup in front of them and drank.
"General Ban, please ask someone to pass on the food."
Chu Nanzhi saw Xie Jingchen drinking his tea, looking at Band with a smile, and sent someone to bring the prepared food and wine.
Looking at the sumptuous dishes in front of him, Chu Nanzhi personally poured wine for the three of them. Holding the wine glass, he apologized to Xie Jingchen with a sincere expression: "Prince Xie, thanks to you for helping me many times, I would like to toast you to this glass of wine."
You, I just hope that no matter what happens, you will not be jealous of me. Although we have different views, our wishes are the same. We both hope for peace between the two countries and no more war."
"What did you say, little Zhizhi? Even if I die by your sword one day, I will not have any complaints against you."
Xie Jingchen held up the wine glass lovingly, but these ambiguous words made Chen Chuan on the side very unhappy.
"That's good, that's good."
Chu Nanzhi smiled stiffly and motioned to everyone: "Drink. It's rare that we all get together today. We must have a good time."
Watching her drink the wine in her hand first, the three of them finished the glass of wine with peace of mind.
As soon as he drank the drink, Xie Jingchen's eyes began to spin, and soon he fell directly on the table.
