"We Da Chu will not do such a despicable and insidious thing, never!"

While the two were talking, they saw Princess Yuanxi suddenly open the curtain and appear in front of her, changing her image of being calm and introverted in front of people these days, and the whole person looked a little indignant and excited.

Gao Heng didn't expect this matter to flow into Princess Yuanxi's ears, first his eyes flashed in surprise slightly, and then he and Chen Fu glanced at each other, and their dark eyes were full of complicated looks.

He tightened his pupils, trying to catch some pretentious clues in the woman's eyes. But no matter how he looked, except for a glimpse of the heavy anger in the depths of his eyes, there was no suspicious light and shadow at all.

So after a moment of silence, he regained his calm and calm state, and stepped forward to gently persuade him.

"Anything is possible, we are only guessing, not certain, the princess is not impatient. ”

At this time, Chen Fu also took the opportunity to say: "Your Highness is right, now that the battle situation is scorching, the other party has ill intentions, and intends to play tricks, we can't let go of any possibility." This battle must not be lost!"

"I know that although our two countries have made peace, in fact, in your hearts, there is always a lot of dissatisfaction with my mother country. ”

Princess Yuanxi's eyes condensed slightly when she heard this, and her gaze fell on the point of emptiness in the air, and a bitter smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Then he came back to his senses, and his expression resolutely tightened his eyebrows: "But this matter, I must have been mistaken! I am the princess of Da Chu, the pearl of my father's palm, when I married thousands of miles away to make peace, I know better than anyone how uncomfortable he was." Even for the sake of my daughter, he will definitely not embarrass my beloved!"

She raised her voice categorically, staring at Gao Heng in front of her with a stoic expression, hoping that he would believe and approve of herself, but what she heard was......

"Princess, the general trend of the world is not as simple as you think. In the hearts of many people who are greedy for power, whether it is family affection or love, compared with the great mountains and rivers in front of them, only interests are eternal. ”

Gao Heng turned around, closed his eyes slightly and sighed, even though he knew that it was too cruel for Princess Yuanxi to say this, he still did not hide the truest thoughts in his heart.

In his opinion, even if Hengwang Yuanpeng may still think of the love of brother and sister, but the king of Chu, who has always been ambitious, does not look like the kind of person who will give up the power of the country for the sake of the affection of his children.

"No, no, at least my father, my brother is not such a person!"

may be stimulated by Gao Heng's words, or may be afraid that he will really become an "abandoned child" in their mouths, but Princess Yuanxi's face suddenly sank, and her eyes were already full of hidden tears.

"Okay, since Your Highness and General Chen don't believe what I say, then I will prove it to you who is a friend and who is the real enemy!"

As soon as the words fell, she turned around and ran out of the camp tent with a stubborn face, leaving Gao Heng standing in place, her eyes deep and her eyebrows gathered.

At this time, in the Yanwang Mansion, due to the prince's secret operation, he deliberately found someone to delay the delivery of the news, so Cheng Jinzhi did not know that the secret letter he wrote had been robbed in the middle of the road.

In the past few days, she has been worried about the crown prince and Nan Chu, and it may be because of the hot weather, she has been impulsive several times, wanting to rush directly into the palace to tell Emperor Zhou the bad news that "your son may want to rebel", so that he can take precautions as soon as possible.

But fortunately, she was still sane, and soon regained her calm, but the uneasiness and apprehension in her heart were still entangled day and night.

Although that day, he had already revealed the matter to Cen Feng. But Cen Feng has always acted calmly and cautiously, even if he was surprised by this matter, but in the face of this ambiguous and not completely affirmative word, he still chose to secretly track down the deployment first, and persuaded Cheng Jinzhi not to act rashly, so as not to startle the snake.

According to him, the so-called "shoot a man before a horse, and capture a thief before the king".

The crown prince is now imprisoned on Lishan Mountain, whether it is freedom or power, it is naturally not as good as before. As long as you secretly send someone to keep an eye on him at all times, and if you see any changes in him, you can immediately control them, and you can still prevent trouble.

But they didn't know that in fact, from the very beginning of the fight, they looked in the wrong direction and underestimated the enemy's strength.

At this moment, the night is dark, and after a thunderous summer rain, the windless night is accompanied by the never-ending chirping of cicadas, which is even more sultry.

Cheng Jinzhi sat on the recliner in front of the window, shaking the fan in his hand for a while, obviously his eyelids had begun to fight, but he just refused to close his eyes simply.

"In the northwest, it should be much colder than the capital, right? I don't know if he is well fed and clothed, and whether he has seen the letter.....

She muttered to herself in her heart, and the scenes of getting along with Gao Heng in the past appeared in her mind, and she couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips.

I don't know how long it took, but with a strong drowsiness coming, I finally closed my eyes groggily.

However, before she could fall asleep, she heard a sudden burst of shouts outside the house, which startled her into sleep.

"There are assassins, capture assassins——!"

"What's wrong?"

Cheng Jinzhi put down the fan and stood up from the recliner, just about to go out to find out, but saw Taxue rushing in in with a panicked expression.

"Princess, there are assassins outside, don't go out!"

"Assassins, how could there be assassins?"

Cheng Jinzhi's eyebrows jumped, his expression grimly furrowed two eyebrows, and a sense of foreboding spread in his heart.

Now that Gao Heng is not in the mansion, that "assassin" dares to blatantly enter the mansion to assassinate, and it is very likely that he is coming at him.

And when she thought of the person who wanted to take her life, in addition to the crown prince and Empress Zhao, who always wanted to get rid of Gao Heng, she couldn't think of a second person.

"Could it be that the prince knows something, so he wants to send someone to kill me?"

Cheng Jinzhi pursed the corners of his lips and muttered in his heart with a solemn expression, but saw Shen Jun rushing into the room nervously and bowing to Cheng Jinzhi to report.

"The subordinates did not do their jobs well, so that the man in black escaped, and the princess was frightened. ”

Shen Jun, as Gao Heng's personal subordinate, was supposed to follow his master to the northwest, but only because Gao Heng was worried about Cheng Jinzhi's safety in the mansion, so he let him stay.

"Well, if you escape, you can escape, you know who sent it, and if you arrest him, you may not be willing to admit it. ”

Cheng Jinzhi took a deep breath and waved his hand, and sat down on the recliner again, but he really felt a little afraid in his heart.

"It's just that this assassin is still strange, since he wants to kill me, he will inevitably be exposed too quickly. ”

"No, my subordinates don't think he's here to assassinate the princess. ”

Listening to Cheng Jinzhi's somewhat joking tone, he saw Shen Jun's eyes wandering, and then said with a cold look in his eyes.

"It's like he's here, stealing something. ”
