Cheng Jinzhi, who walked out of the Cheng family, did not return to the palace, but entered the palace in the completely opposite direction.

She knew very well in her heart that there was no turning back arrow from drawing the bow, the war in the northwest was imminent, and since Emperor Zhou had decided to let Gao Heng go on the expedition, there was no room for maneuver in this matter.

The only way now is to beg Emperor Zhou to let him go on the expedition with his husband.

Only by being by Gao Heng's side all the time can she feel a little relieved, instead of being scared all day long thousands of miles away, not only worrying about the safety of his name, but also afraid of those silent conspiracies.

However, when she entered the palace and came to the imperial study where Emperor Zhou was waiting for the decree, as the door was pushed open, she saw a familiar figure slowly walking down the stone steps.

When he got closer, Cheng Jinzhi's heart couldn't help but sink heavily, and his whole heart was suddenly filled with an ominous premonition.

This person was none other than Princess Yuanxi, who she had never expected.

Seeing Cheng Jinzhi appear in front of her, Princess Yuanxi's eyebrows trembled slightly, and then she showed a smug look, and she didn't show too much surprise.

Then he walked over calmly, bowed slightly towards Cheng Jinzhi, and deliberately pretended to be surprised.

"Eh, why is my sister here?"

"I should ask the princess about this sentence. ”

Facing Princess Yuanxi's kind face, the corners of Cheng Jinzhi's lips hooked a far-fetched arc, but she knew that she had not entered the palace alone since she married into the Yan Palace, but today she came to meet Emperor Zhou for the first time, and she knew why she came.

And this princess of Nanchu seemed to want to hang Cheng Jinzhi's appetite, and did not answer directly, but deliberately wanted to play tricks.

"I guess, my sister and I both entered the palace at this time, and we should... It's all for the same thing, right?"

"The situation is urgent, I am not in the mood to play any dumb riddles with the princess here, what is the matter, I will talk about it after I have met Your Majesty first. ”

Cheng Jinzhi was already weak and chaotic, and he didn't bother to talk to her here at all, so he wanted to turn around and leave without saying a word.

Unexpectedly, he had just taken a step, but he heard Princess Yuanxi's tone say in a quiet tone.

"Sister, please stay first, to put it mildly, in fact, my sister has already taken the lead, one step ahead of my sister. ”

"What do you mean by that?"

Cheng Jinzhi suddenly retracted his heels when he heard this, turned sideways and stared at her sharply, and saw Princess Yuanxi's eyes fluttering, and then smiled confidently, like a victor.

"Your Majesty has agreed, and I will go with the army as a family member of His Royal Highness, and even if my sister goes to ask Your Majesty about this matter again, Your Majesty will definitely not agree. ”

"You, why are you?"

As soon as Princess Yuanxi said this, Cheng Jinzhi's face suddenly sank, and in addition to being shocked, there was a sense of anger that the villain was gaining power.

In my heart, I resented that I couldn't get one step earlier, and let this woman take the lead in vain, which was really worth the loss.

How can I tolerate it in my heart, this princess of Nanchu who was killed halfway will have to accompany Gao Heng in her place, but she will be alone in the mansion and spend countless sleepless nights of fear.

She originally thought that Princess Yuanxi was begging Emperor Zhou to think twice about assigning Gao Heng to go on the expedition, so she raced against time to enter the palace to face the saint. never thought that this woman would be so scheming, not only did she know everything early, but she was also one step ahead.

"Why? What my sister said is really funny, I am the wife of His Royal Highness King Yan Ming Media is marrying, although it is not as early as my sister entered the house, but when it comes to status, I am not a concubine. Now it is common to go out with your husband. ”

Princess Yuanxi said unhurriedly, and the smile on her lips was even worse, but in addition to the clearly visible pride, Cheng Jinzhi also saw a hint of disdain.

For a moment, she almost couldn't hold back the anger in her heart, raised her fist, which had already clenched in her sleeves, and slammed directly and mercilessly at her delicate and tender face.

Since she has known Princess Yuanxi, she has never felt that this woman is so hateful.

Not only that, seeing that Cheng Jinzhi was speechless for a while, Princess Yuanxi knew that she was already resentful in her heart, so she continued to add fuel and vinegar disapprerovingly.

"Besides, I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child, although I can't call it strong in martial arts, but I can also help His Highness go into battle to kill the enemy and solve problems for His Highness. Unlike my sister, who has just recovered from a serious illness, her body is very weak, the northwest climate is harsh, and she is thousands of miles away from the capital, if my sister goes out with the army, she accidentally catches a cold for a while, and she is accidentally frightened for a while, so what is it?

Seeing that Princess Yuanxi completely described herself as a drag oil bottle that would only affect Gao Heng, if she followed Cheng Jinzhi's usual personality, she would definitely not give up, and she would definitely come back sarcastically with every sentence.

But now that her heart is in turmoil, how can she be in the mood to talk to the woman in front of her?

After taking a deep breath and barely calming down, he immediately glanced at her with a cold expression, and his tone did not fluctuate much.

"Heh, having said so much, isn't it just a set of self-consoling rhetoric of yours? And in this palace, who is the real hostess and who is the puppet that no one cares about, naturally I don't need to say. ”

Cheng Jinzhi said as he saw Princess Yuanxi's originally radiant face becoming more and more embarrassed, but there was no sense of joy in his heart to fight back and succeed.

She pursed her lips and stared at the door of the imperial study that was close at hand, hesitating whether she should enter the study and fight for Emperor Zhou again?

But he didn't know that even if he asked Emperor Zhou for this matter when Princess Yuanxi entered this study, the emperor, who had already had other thoughts, would not nod and agree.

Because compared to Princess Yuanxi, who Gao Heng was forced to marry into the palace at the beginning, Cheng Jinzhi's status in his mind is already incomparable.

Only by keeping the people Gao Heng valued and cherished the most in the capital can we always contain the thousands of troops and horses in the northwest in case of emergency.

It's just that Princess Yuanxi didn't expect this, and Cheng Jinzhi also didn't think about it deeply.

"If my sister still refuses to give up, then go and plead with Your Majesty to see, but the king of a country will be disappointed in the end. ”

Seeing Cheng Jinzhi's hesitation, Princess Yuanxi restrained her expression and looked at her gaze, thinking that she was the first to take the lead, and couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips again.
