Xia Shang believed that there were differences between Japanese women and Dahua women, and felt that Japanese women should generally be more open-minded.
Now I am looking at a little Japanese maid helping me take a bath. Her shy appearance is no different from that of a Chinese woman. At her age, she still has the curiosity and shyness of an adolescent girl.
Xia Shang's mind was not on this. He sat in the water neatly, with his head exposed, looking at the figure behind the screen.
Not much time had passed since the last separation. When Xia Shang looked at this figure again, his heart was no longer so peaceful.
I believe that tomorrow the whole capital will hear that the Japanese princess was rescued by Prince Dahua himself, and everyone will know that the Japanese princess is now in the prince's palace.
Everyone in the world thinks that the woman in the Prince's Mansion is a Japanese princess. After a long time, will anyone still believe this real princess?
Xia Shang let Nami's trick continue in order to disrupt the arrangements of the Japanese mission. At the same time, he could not deny that he had the idea deep in his heart to make everything come true.
If Nami becomes a real princess, then the women here don't have to fulfill any engagements. Even if she keeps hiding here, no one will probably find her. Even if she is discovered, who will care?
Putting aside all the external factors, Yoshiko's soft and graceful appearance still lingers in our minds.
After an unknown amount of time, the maid behind him patted Xia Shang on the shoulder: "That... is already healed."
"Oh..." Xia Shang came to his senses and stood up from the water.
The maid wiped Xia Shang's body and dressed him half-covered, very skillfully. Maybe she often did these things for Ji Zi, but today she was a man.
The maidservant didn't have a good attitude toward Xia Shang before, but now she helped Xia Shang take a bath and became much shy when speaking.
Xia Shang looked at her, and the maid quickly lowered her head, her face red.
"May I have your name?"
"Mulberry tea."
"Mulberry tea? It's a bit unique."
"You can just call me Xiao Sang."
Without waiting for Xia Shang's reply, Xiao Sang quickly ran behind the screen.
Then, Ji Zi came out from behind the screen, also blushing, and looked at Xia Shang.
After washing his body, Xia Shang felt that his whole body was radiant and he felt a lot more relaxed.
Xia Shang sat down at the table and looked up at Ji Zi: "How have you been these days?"
Jizi sat down and said, "Everything is fine, but I can't leave. I feel a little bored after a long time."
"During this special period, please be patient. If you have any requests, just ask the people here."
Yoshiko continued to nod, frowned, and asked in a low voice: "How long should I stay here?"
"Well..." Xia Shang seemed a little embarrassed.
"What? Still can't leave?"
"Actually, I came here today to learn about Ling Si and the Japanese wizard."
"Ling Si... a Japanese wizard?" Yoshiko felt a little bad, because asking these two things together gave people a weird feeling.
"You've been staying with Ling Si all the way here. Have you noticed anything different about him?"
"Different? I don't think there is any difference." Jizi thought seriously, but didn't seem to understand what Xia Shang meant.
Xia Shang knew that the other party would not understand if he asked so rashly, so Xia Shang thought for a moment: "Then I'll just tell you how I feel."
Xia Shang paused: "My feelings towards Ling Si have always stayed in Xuzhou. At that time, Ling Si gave me the impression that he was silent and spoke very little, cherishing his words like gold, and that he felt like a very cold killer."
Jizi nodded: "He has always been like this."
"But the Lingsi I met this time became less silent. On the contrary, he had a lot to say. Maybe this is not surprising, but I didn't feel the hostility from him before. Considering Lingsi and I
Even if they have known each other before, this relationship is far from being called friends.
But before I went to the Japanese mission, he seemed to be too tolerant to me. I made a scene and the Japanese mission did not blame me. Instead, they tried their best to suppress the unhappy voices within the Japanese mission. They even took the initiative to tell me some things that were unnecessary.
Tell me the inside story.
All these things put together make people feel less at ease.”
"Do you doubt Lingsi? He...he doesn't pose any danger to you by doing this, right?"
"There is no danger to me because he doesn't know where you have gone yet. He keeps trying to please me because he wants to use my clues to find you."
"Then it's not surprising. He is my father's most trusted subordinate. Now that I'm missing, he will naturally try his best to find me.
Come to me. He knows that I am in your hands, so he will definitely not dare to offend you."
Xia Shang shook his head: "I thought so at first, but then I thought it wasn't the case. If he really wanted to find you, he shouldn't have agreed to that raid. Instead, he should have attacked everything.
Zhongzai took words out of my mouth."
Jizi didn't know what was going on outside, and he had only a partial understanding of Xia Shang's words, so he said nothing more.
"I am now doubting whether Lingsi has been controlled by that wizard. Everything that appears in front of me now is an illusion. If Lingsi has been controlled, then everything can be explained. Because he is controlled, so
His personality has changed. He participated in the raid because he was being controlled. He was eager to prove his hostile relationship with another Japanese force, and did not focus on you, Yoshiko."
"Xia, this is impossible. Lingsi will never be controlled by a wizard."
"Why?"
"I heard my father say that although the wizards in our country are dangerous, the people they can control are limited to those with weak willpower. A samurai like Lingsi has undergone the most rigorous training since childhood, and his willpower is not that of ordinary people.
It is conceivable that no wizard can control such a person."
Xia Shang frowned: "Is that so?"
Seeing Ji Zi's certainty, Xia Shang also began to have doubts about his guess.
Xia Shang was not sure whether Lingsi was an enemy or a friend, but there were too many doubts before. In order to avoid any accidents, Xia Shang handed over the Japanese princess to the prince.
In comparison, the current prince is actually more reassuring.
Xia Shang fell into deep thought, tapping his fingers on the table rhythmically.
Yoshiko watched patiently without any intention of disturbing.
After a quarter of an hour, Xia Shang simply told Ji Zi everything he had encountered in the past few days, focusing on Ling Si's words and deeds.
Ji Zi didn't understand everything that happened before, but after listening to Xia Shang's story, he couldn't help but frown.
Some of people's weird behaviors may not seem unusual when viewed individually, but when many weird behaviors are brought together and the description is concrete, things become clearer.
Looking at Ji Zi's expression, Xia Shang knew that the other party was relieved, and quickly asked: "Did you think of something?"
