Chapter 343 Lin Zhaoyue hates him and fears him!
Xiao Yun lowered his head and stared at Chu Bai below the city, without any guilty feeling, and said in an ambiguous way:
"I don't understand what the Ninth Prince said. How can I say that it is despicable?"
Chu Bai looked at Xiao Yan who was calm and composed, and sneered:
"The Third Prince revealed my whereabouts to General Songtuo and lured him to lead an army of 200,000 to Yugu Mountain. Beijue fought this battle with the whole country's strength. There were less than 300,000 soldiers left in Beijue's capital. The 200,000 soldiers were led to me, leaving less than 100,000 soldiers. And you led 200,000 soldiers all the way to Beijue's capital, and after capturing the capital, you rushed back to Beiyang Pass. The Ninth Prince is really calculating!"
Chu Bai felt a surge of anger in his heart, and he really wanted to go up and beat Xiao Yan up.
The transfer of troops not only slowed down his pace, but also caused the collapse of the Beijue defense line, allowing him to take the capital city easily.
This strategy of killing two birds with one stone is the most effective and can minimize the losses, but Xiao Gou is too shameless!
Xiao Yan chuckled and said:
“The Ninth Prince has indeed wronged me. I did not tell Song Tuo about you. This act of betraying an ally is what a villain does. I will never do such an unjust thing.
However, Yugu Mountain is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and is also home to the largest bandit in Beijue. I heard that the bandit has a close relationship with General Songtuo, so it is possible that he revealed the whereabouts of the Ninth Prince to General Songtuo."
Chu Bai gritted his teeth and said:
"The Third Prince knew that the bandits in Yugu Mountain were colluding with Songtuo, but he concealed it. What's the difference between that and directly revealing my whereabouts?"
Xiao Yan's tone was lazily:
"There is a fundamental difference between the two! Leaking information about the allied forces is an act of betrayal and an unjust act. The Ninth Prince failed to detect the collusion between the Sand Bandits and Song Tuo in time because of his lack of ability. This palace and the Ninth Prince are only allies, and I have no responsibility to teach him!"
This was the first time Pei Yanli saw the Third Prince confront someone, or have such obvious hostility towards someone.
The implication is that he is scolding him for being incompetent and that he is not his father and will not teach him.
Seeing the two of them arguing with each other, he watched with interest.
Chu Bai sneered when he heard this.
"I didn't expect the Third Prince to be so good at sophistry! The two countries are allied, and knowing the military situation but not reporting it is also unjust!"
Xiao Yan replied slowly.
"Your Highness, what you said is wrong. The Ninth Prince set out very early that day. Even if I wanted to tell him in person, I didn't have the chance. Besides, didn't I send Marquis Xuanping and Master Pei to go there later?"
"The Third Prince sent Marquis Xuanping and Master Pei to lead the troops, but he calculated that Songtuo would send troops to Yugu Mountain, so that he and I could attack from both sides and form an encirclement to annihilate Songtuo's 200,000 strong army! The Third Prince really has a plan for everything!"
Xiao Yan chuckled: "Thank you for your praise, Ninth Prince!"
Chu Bai tightly grasped the reins in his hands, looked at him for a long time, and then laughed.
"I lost this round, but I may lose the next one!"
Xiao Yun's phoenix eyes were half-closed, and a sharp gleam flashed in her eyes.
"Oh? Really? Then I will wait and see."
The two people's eyes met in the air, and Pei Yanli, who was standing next to them, could feel the sparks between their gazes.
But inexplicably, this time he felt that the two of them were not concerned about politics, but about... women.
woman?
The woman the Third Prince likes is Wan'er's fifth sister Lin Zhaoyue.
The Ninth Prince also has a connection with Lin Zhaoyue?
Lin Zhaoyue didn't get up until noon. Her extreme physical fatigue made her fall into a deep sleep, and she felt refreshed when she woke up.
She stretched and realized something was wrong.
She clearly remembered that she was taking care of her father in his room last night, so how did she end up in her own bed?
She lifted the quilt in confusion, and just as her feet touched the ground, she heard the sound of Ding Dong coming over;
"The girl is awake?"
She looked up and saw Ding Dong coming in with a copper basin filled with hot water.
"Why am I in the room?"
"Oh, it was Master Ning who brought the girl in last night."
These days, Ding Dong has already known that Ning Yi is the girl's biological brother. Although he doesn't know the reason, it doesn't affect him.
"Brother carried me back?"
"Yes girl."
Lin Zhaoyue recalled that Xiao Yan had slept on the recliner in her room last night and said:
"Brother, have you seen anything? Or have you seen anyone?"
Ding Dong looked at her doubtfully and said:
"No! What happened to the girl?"
It’s fine if you don’t.
Lin Zhaoyue breathed a sigh of relief and said:
"It's okay, how is the Master doing?"
"Doctor Tu has gone to see my aunt this morning. It should be nothing serious. The emperor is at my aunt's place, so Ding Dong doesn't dare to go over."
Ding Dong never thought that one day, he would be able to meet so many important figures in Anguo.
First she was the daughter of Duke Lin, then the general, the prince, and finally the current emperor.
What she didn't expect was that her aunt was actually Concubine He!!!
Ding Dong placed the copper basin filled with hot water in front of Lin Zhaoyue and hesitated for a moment, then remembered that the emperor openly called her aunt "Hefei" and should not have concealed it. It should not be considered a leak if she told the girl now.
"Miss, do you know that my aunt is a concubine?"
Lin Zhaoyue closed her eyes and wiped her face with a towel while saying:
"do not know."
Looking at Lin Zhaoyue who calmly said she didn't know, Ding Dong: ...
How come the girl isn't shocked at all?
Was she making too much of a fuss?
As expected, she still hadn't practiced enough.
According to the emperor, he would take her aunt back to the palace after she had a good rest. If she went to the palace to serve her aunt in the future, she must not embarrass her aunt.
From now on, she will be like Ding Dong who remains calm even when facing a catastrophe!
Putting down the towel in her hand, Lin Zhaoyue continued:
"But I know that Master is the biological mother of the Third Prince."
"The Third Prince? Is he the one who is so good-looking that he can stun the enemy and lead a huge army to rescue us?"
Lin Zhaoyue: …
"Ding Dong, you can't judge a person by his appearance alone."
Ding Dong: "Why not look at it if it has the appearance?"
Lin Zhaoyue: …
"No wonder I felt that the Third Prince looked a bit like my aunt when I saw him. Girl, did you also know the Third Prince before? He liked you, right?"
Ding Dong said this, with a gossipy look on his face that was very obvious.
Lin Zhaoyue: …
"Which eye of yours saw that he liked me?"
"Left eye and right eye."
Lin Zhaoyue: …
Before Lin Zhaoyue could say anything, Ding Dong said with a curious expression:
"Girl, was the pear and wolfberry sweet water that the Third Prince made in the kitchen last night for you to drink?"
Lin Zhaoyue paused while twisting her handkerchief, then looked up at her:
"He did it himself?"
Seeing Lin Zhaoyue's reaction, Ding Dong knew that he had guessed correctly and said:
"Yes! After the Third Prince returned to Yunyuan, he learned that the girl was still treating his aunt, so he went to the kitchen to make it himself. The cooks in Beiyangguan all cook big pots and don't know how to make delicate sweet water, so the Third Prince made it himself."
No wonder the sweet water is overly sweet.
He loves sweets, so he's probably controlling the amount of sugar he uses.
Lin Zhaoyue's eyes flickered slightly. She hung up the towel and sat down in front of the dressing table.
Ding Dong combed her hair and kept chattering:
"After the sweet water was cooked, the Third Prince went to the door to check on the girl several times. Seeing that the girl was still not ready, he waited outside. Ding Dong guessed that the Third Prince wanted to give the sweet water to the girl, and sure enough...
Girl, you and the Third Prince are both so good-looking, the children you will have in the future will definitely be very beautiful..."
child?
Lin Zhaoyue touched her belly unconsciously, as if she could still feel the pain of heavy bleeding and the forced premature birth of her child.
Her eyes suddenly turned cold and she said:
"Ding Dong, stop talking. The person he loves is not me."
Ding Dong was still in the mood for gossip and did not notice Lin Zhaoyue's mood in time. He said firmly:
"How is it possible? The look in the eyes of the Third Prince when he looks at the girl is so affectionate that it seems to drown you. His eyes will never lie."
Lin Zhaoyue glanced at her and said:
"Ding Dong, do you still remember how I was rescued by my master two years ago?"
"Remember! The girl was badly wounded in the stomach at that time. Aunt said that if it was delayed for half a day, the girl might have died. I don't know who was so cruel. The third prince is a martial arts expert and has a noble status. The girl can ask him to help her vent her anger. I'll see if that bastard dares to resist..."
Lin Zhaoyue looked at herself in the mirror and said calmly:
"He was the one who stabbed me with the knife."
Ding Dong's voice stopped abruptly.
The comb in her hand fell to the ground. She bent down to pick it up and said apologetically:
"Girl, I'm sorry."
Lin Zhaoyue shook her head, and after washing up, she went to see Ning Xi.
The emperor sat in front of Ning Xi's bed, holding her hand tightly, staring at her without blinking, as if he was afraid that she would disappear if he blinked.
Hearing the noise outside, he subconsciously frowned, with a sharp look of being disturbed in his eyes.
When the emperor is angry, his anger is as strong as thunder.
Those sharp eyes overlapped for a moment with Xiao Yun who was sitting on the dragon throne in his previous life.
Lin Zhaoyue’s mind flashed with the image of Xiao Yan in her previous life. He was high above her, with Liu Yiyi standing next to him. He looked at her as if he was looking at an ant.
"I have said that the evidence is irrefutable, but you still say that I have wronged Duke Lin and the Lin family. You have contradicted me several times and are crazy. You are really unworthy of being the queen. I have forgiven you again and again for our past friendship, but you have not repented and have angered the emperor several times. Today, I have demoted you to the cold palace to let you reflect on your mistakes."
After that, she began her nightmare life in the cold palace.
Lin Zhaoyue hated him and was also afraid of him!
Lin Zhaoyue's legs went limp and she knelt down.
Xiao Zhang was stunned for a moment. Seeing that she was about to speak, he made a hushing gesture to her, then put Ning Xi's hand into the quilt, helped her up and went out.
After leaving the house, Lin Zhaoyue calmed down her emotions that had just gotten out of control and said:
"Your Majesty, I am just here to see Master."
Xiao Zhang hummed and said:
"I know."
After a pause, he said:
"You're not in a good condition, but did Wei'er bully you?"
He just saw in her eyes her fear of him, and that fear was exactly the same as that of the ministers and servants who angered him.
That is the fear of the one sitting on the throne, the fear of power.
He still remembered that she was not afraid of him at all and even accused Xiao Ran of pulling out his beard.
