Therefore, even Baili You cannot tell such confidential matters.
Thinking of this, she said: "No, I just have a bad appetite recently and don't want to eat."
Seeing that the eldest princess deliberately did not mention Chu Xuanchen, Baili You tried and said: "Princess, I have always had a doubt. I don't know whether to ask it or not."
"Fifth Prince, please speak."
The eldest princess said.
Baili Youdao: "I recently heard that the emperor ordered King Li to go to the northwest for an expedition, but you and I both know that King Li has disappeared in Yanshan, so how can he go to the northwest?
Don't worry, princess, I don't want to pry into your country's private affairs, I just care about King Li and am puzzled, so I would like to ask the princess to help me clear up my doubts."
After saying that, he touched his head in confusion and looked innocently puzzled.
Although the eldest princess regards Baili You as a friend, she also knows that there are some things that she cannot tell him.
She said cautiously: "It's like this, there are many secrets in the court that we don't know.
In fact, Xuan Chen had been found a long time ago and was brought back to Chu safely, so we and King Xian returned directly to the country.
This matter is a national secret, not many people know about it, and I didn’t know about it until after I returned to China!”
"I see. Now that I know Prince Li has returned safely, I feel relieved!"
Baili You said this, but her heart was still full of doubts.
This matter developed so fast that he was completely confused.
It stands to reason that if Chu Xuanchen comes back safely, Emperor Hongyuan will definitely let everyone take a look at him to dispel everyone's doubts.
But no one saw Chu Xuanchen, so Emperor Hongyuan anxiously transferred him to the northwest.
As far as he knew, the war in the northwest was not urgent. Emperor Hongyuan didn't need to be so anxious, right?
Emperor Hongyuan's move seemed like he was trying to cover his ears. He must be hiding something!
There were many suspicious things about this matter, and he was also doubtful about the eldest princess's words. He felt that the eldest princess must not have told him the truth!
Thinking of this, he said again: "Princess, why haven't I seen Princess Li recently?
She didn't come back with us at that time. Could it be that she was still looking for King Li in Yongcheng? Then does she know about King Li's return?"
Hearing Bailiyou ask about Yue'er again, the eldest princess had a flash of doubt in her heart.
Why is Baili You so concerned about Xuan Chen and Yue'er?
Seeing that the eldest princess was silent, Baili You said hurriedly: "Princess, don't get me wrong. When we went to Yanzhou, Princess Li and Prince Xian took great care of me on the way. I have already regarded her as a friend.
I saw that she did not return to China with us, and I have not seen her come back for so long. Out of friendship, I was a little worried about her safety, so I asked a few more questions!"
Having said this, he said seriously: "Princess, although I am from Xiliang, don't worry, I am by no means your enemy. On the contrary, I like Chu State very much.
I am alone and very lonely. I am very eager to make friends in Chu State.
It's my honor to know you all, please believe me, I just want to cherish this friendship, I have no ill will towards you!"
The eldest princess nodded. It turned out that Bailiyou only cared about Yue'er so much because she longed for friends and cherished friends.
However, to be on the safe side, she still would not tell him the truth. She said, "I believe you. Don't worry, Yue'er is fine. She is on her way back. We will see her soon!"
"That's it, then I'll be completely relieved!"
Baili You smiled and patted her chest, looking gentle and innocent.
