Chapter 55 One city protects each other? Is this still worth it?
Chapter 55: One city protecting each other? Is this even possible?
"Ayan, are you okay?" Nan Yue spoke softly.
At the moment, her cheeks were rosy, her eyes were sullen, and her every move and smile was extremely charming. The men in the audience were all fascinated by it, and they couldn't help but follow her gaze and fixate on the little girl behind Ji Yunyuan.
Although He Mucheng was dressed in men's clothing, she did not change her appearance. Her appearance was even worse than that of Nan Yue, and everyone could tell at a glance that she was a girl.
At this time, someone finally recognized He Mucheng. He smiled loudly and said, "Isn't this the retainer of General Ji who protects the whole city, Ayan of the Nan family?"
Huh? One city protects each other? Is that okay? This person is simply confusing the public!
If Ji Yunyuan gets angry with this kind of half-joking and half-serious temptation, it means he is not joking and is narrow-minded. If Ji Yunyuan does not refute, if such words are spread, people who don't know about it will definitely believe it to be true.
Looking at the man's sinister look, He Mucheng sneered in his heart. Unexpectedly, this was Nan Yue's first insult to her, right?
Seeing that Ji Yunyuan's face was cold, He Mucheng reached out his hand and patted the back of his hand without leaving a trace, signaling him to calm down.
Then, she slowly raised her eyes and began to look at the man in front of her curiously.
The man was a little frightened by her stare, and moved uncomfortably, "What are you looking at, girl? But there is something on my face?"
"This gentleman looks so unfamiliar? I dare to ask, sir, have you just come to Lucheng?" He Mucheng blinked, with a pious look on his face.
"No, I have been in Lucheng since I was born and have been serving the prince." He raised his hand and cupped it with the king of Lucheng.
"That's strange," He Mucheng looked at Ji Yunyuan in confusion, "On the day Murong Ke attacked the city, everyone was thinking of countermeasures in this palace. Everyone knew that Murong Ke wanted to use women to suppress the Jin people's momentum, but
The sons of Jin are not afraid of life and death. They would rather die in battle in Lucheng than hide behind a woman and linger. This is something to be proud of. How come this man has turned into a general?
Are you protecting me, Ayan of the Nan clan, with a city?"
Her beautiful eyebrows were knitted into a cute figure eight, and her lips were slightly pursed. She looked as innocent as possible, without any aggression or pretense.
Ji Yunyuan was amused by her appearance, and the gloom on his face instantly dissipated.
"Perhaps the husband was scared at the time and was hiding in the gentle village shivering?" Ji Yunyuan's words also contained a bit of joking, and for a while, the hall burst into laughter.
The man's face was dull, so he had to bow his hands to King Lu Cheng, "Your Majesty, I'm in a hurry, so I'll excuse you now."
He walked out of the hall as if he was running away, and everyone's attention turned to He Mucheng.
At this moment, Nan Yue finally covered her face and giggled.
"Yueji, why are you so happy?" King Lucheng couldn't help but raise his voice and asked.
Nan Yue suppressed her smile and said softly, "Back to your lord, my concubine followed General Ji to the Kingdom of Zhao, but for some reason, she became the concubine of the prince of the Wang family. I thought about it, but why didn't I do it?
I can’t figure out why…”
Wang Xuan looked leisurely. He picked up the wine bottle, took a sip, and asked curiously, "Oh? Nan's Ayan became the concubine of my Wang family's son? How come I haven't heard of it? Dare I ask who from my Wang family?
Where is the husband?"
Princess Lingxiang was stunned!
She looked at Wang Xuan's lazy profile in disbelief, and for a moment she didn't know how to respond.
Nanyue frowned, looked at Princess Lingxiang, and asked anxiously, "Isn't this your concubine, Mr. Lang?"
This scene was captured by He Mucheng, and she suddenly realized it!
No wonder Princess Lingxiang is so calm today. She is secretly communicating with Nanyue, so he wants to catch her off guard in this hall!
But Wang Xuan's response obviously exceeded Princess Lingxiang's expectations, so she was a little at a loss. In order to find out the reason, she started to hold back.
Seeing that Princess Lingxiang didn't speak, Nanyue became a little anxious, "My concubine brought the Crown Prince of Zhao to Lucheng, but I, the concubine, searched all over Lucheng and couldn't find any trace of you two. If it weren't for the murderer,
Jun Zang entered Han'anhou Mansion, how could I not find any clues?"
After hearing this, He Mucheng's face turned pale, "Yue Ji, what are you talking about? I have been following General Ji. I just arrived in Lucheng today. We are also looking for the whereabouts of the prince. Stop joking. If King Zhao is
I misunderstood that I took the prince south to Lucheng, and I will be in trouble..."
After saying that, she did not forget to cast a look at Ji Yunyuan for help. That look of weakness made Ji Yunyuan's eyes turn into a clear spring.
He smiled fondly and said softly, "Ayan, don't be afraid, you stay with me and I will make it clear to King Zhao."
"You're talking nonsense!" Nan Yue gritted her teeth, "Obviously it was you who pretended to be the crown prince's mother, and I caught you in the Lucheng Palace. I used you to lure the crown prince, but you were so cunning that you actually attacked my people and rescued him.
The prince..."
At this point, she noticed that everyone was looking at her with probing and scrutinizing eyes. She suddenly realized that her actions seemed a bit vicious, so she calmed down and quickly found an excuse for herself.
I saw Nan Yue immediately prostrate on the ground and bowed heavily to the King of Lucheng, "I am the one who made my own decisions. I originally planned to capture the crown prince of Zhao and give the prince a surprise. For this reason, I did not hesitate to kill my family in a righteous way, but..."
"Oh... no wonder the prince wrote to me, saying that someone coveted his appearance, and kept calling her... Wang Xuan?" He Mucheng finished confusing right and wrong, then covered his mouth in fear, and bowed apologetically to Wang Xuan, "
Langjun, it’s Ayan who’s being rude..."
Wang Xuan's expression remained calm, but his fingers holding the wine bottle tightened slightly, looking very unhappy.
"Nan Yan, don't talk nonsense!" Nan Yue glanced at Wang Xuan in panic, then turned to stare at He Mucheng fiercely.
"It's A-Yan who talks too much," He Musheng began to describe it more and more darkly. "When A-Yan first arrived in Nanfu, I heard A-Yu say that Yue Ji wanted to be Lang Jun's concubine. I didn't do that.
Have you thought about it..."
Without waiting for Nan Yue to retort, He Mucheng quickly raised his chin firmly and said, "However, I believe that the woman who teased the Crown Prince was definitely not Yue Ji. On the day Murong Ke attacked the city, everyone was hiding in the palace, only Yue Ji
Ji was worried about the prince's safety and ran up to the tower regardless of it. Your love for the prince is as deep as the sea, how could you let the prince be your husband's substitute? "
Her explanation successfully made King Lu Cheng furious!
He can use Nanyue to recruit connections, but Nanyue cannot care about others. This is a man. He would rather betray the women in the world than let the women in the world betray him!
Soon, he waved his hand with a gloomy face, "Take him down."
Nan Yue was shocked. She shouted to Princess Lingxiang regardless, "Princess, I can testify that it was Nan Yan who used her status as a concubine to protect the Crown Prince of Zhao. Princess, please speak!"
Princess Lingxiang looked at Wang Xuan, who had been silent, and finally frowned and said, "I don't know what you are talking about. I have always lived in the Han'an Marquis Mansion and have never heard of your husband taking a concubine."
He Mucheng sneered in his heart. Princess Lingxiang's biggest threat was Wang Xuan's defense of her not long ago. Now that she has returned to Ji Yunyuan, her threat has long been eliminated, so how can she collude with Nanyue?
What's more, if you admit Wang Xuan's concubinage, you acknowledge Wang Xuan, and even the Han'an Marquis Mansion is shielding the heir of the Jie clan. How can Princess Lingxiang admit such behavior that provokes the people of Jin?
