Chapter 3 Conspiracy

"Ah Qi, pass a book to the eyeliner flying pigeon. I want to know about the situation of this King of Wei. Chen Yi whispered to his guard, Ah Qi. Be. Then they quietly went to a wooded area and conspired with Eyeliner.

"Wechen meets His Royal Highness the Prince." Lin Shang and Yu Ang saluted together. Lin Shang and Yu Ang are Chen Yi's most trusted and loyal subordinates.

"Get up. Let's hear what you've been doing lately. Chen Yi ordered.

"Yes." ……

This way.

"Qing Li, help me investigate a person, I want to know his details." Pei Jie said to the guard.

"Yes. General, who are you going to investigate? Qing Li asked.

"Easy to be." Pei Jie replied.

"Well, I'll do my best to investigate." Qing Li said.

The next day, the princess secretly hid aside to watch Pei Jie practice swordsmanship. I saw the sword like a white snake spitting out letters, hissing through the wind, and like a dragon shuttling, walking in all directions. Sometimes it is as light as a swallow, and sometimes it rises with a sword, and sometimes it is like lightning, and the fallen leaves collapse.

Her eyes were misty, and she was fascinated.

Suddenly, Xiao You and Ye Ning passed by this place and saw her hiding next to a tree, not knowing what she was looking at. They crept up to see.

"Wow, it's General Pei! Pretty handsome, right?! Ye Ning asked her deliberately.

She didn't come to her senses, so she said directly: "Of course, my brother Pei is the most handsome in the world!" ”

"Handsome?" Xiao You asked her again.

"Of course it's handsome!" The princess turned her head to look at them as she spoke, and when she saw that it was Ye Ning and Xiao You, she was so frightened that she hurriedly shut up.

"Why are you here?!" She asked, apprehensive.

"Hey, hey, Luo'an, you just looked at General Pei's eyes, but you were obsessed! Are you ......" Ye Ning was about to ask, but the princess was afraid that Pei Jie would hear it, so she quickly covered her mouth and signaled that she was not allowed to talk again.

"Don't say it again. Let's go over there and play! The princess said.

They were frolicking on the road, just playing. Before he could think of it, a servant girl was walking past with a fine jasper, and the handmaid had tried her best to avoid encountering the princess. But when the princess saw it, she had to pick it up and take a look, and by accident, she broke the jade piece on the ground.

Coincidentally, this scene was seen by her mother (that is, the queen).

"Oh my Luoan! Little naughty, why are you so naughty?! It's okay now, the jade is broken, you ...... What to do? Alas! The queen hurriedly said sadly.

"Queen Mother, I'm sorry, I was wrong. But it's just a piece of jade, don't worry. The princess reassured.

"You, really! Now the prince of Chen Guo is coming, this fast jade is one in a million, the only good jade, it is to be given to the prince of Chen Guo, now you are broken, what should I do? Alas! You're so naughty. The queen mother will punish you to kneel here for three hours, and you will not be allowed to get up until the hour comes. Alas! The queen said affectionately and helplessly.

"Queen Mother, this piece of jade was accidentally broken when the last general was practicing the sword just now, please punish me." Pei Jie hurriedly asked.

In fact, this lie was obvious, but the queen also knew that he was worried that the princess's body would not be able to bear it, so she replied: "Okay, the palace will punish you to kneel here for three hours." ”

Seeing this, the princess knew that Pei Jie was for her good, but she didn't want to do this, she didn't want him to be hurt, she would rather be injured herself, not to mention that this mistake was caused by herself, she hurriedly begged: "Queen Mother, no, I broke it, you punish me, don't punish him." ”

The queen ignored her words, and only said: "You, so willful, what can you do in the future?!" Ah Jiu, send the princess back to the palace, let the princess stay in the palace, and teach her to learn etiquette. ”

"Yes." Ah Jiu replied.

"Queen Mother, Queen Mother, if you want to punish me, punish me for kneeling, don't punish Brother Pei, Queen Mother ......" Before she finished speaking, she was taken away by Ah Jiu.

The princess was locked up in the palace.

"Princess, don't worry. General Pei is a martial arts practitioner, and he will be fine. Ah Jiu comforted her.

Having said that, after all, it was noon, and the sun was shining, and the princess couldn't help but be a little worried.

Three hours later, the princess couldn't bear it anymore, so she slipped out of the palace again and went to find Pei Jie.

"Brother Pei, are you okay? Is there anything wrong with it? Does your leg hurt? Do you feel dizzy? The princess asked worriedly.

"Thanks to the princess's concern, the end will be fine. There is still something to do in the end, so I will retire first. He replied coldly, and turned to leave. But there was a warm current surging in his heart.

The princess could only stare blankly at his back and frown slightly.

At night, Xiao You and Ye Ning came to play with the princess. "Luo'an, are you okay today?" When they saw the princess's sad face, they asked.

"It's fine. How did you guys get here? The princess pretended to be nothing.

"Alas, it's too boring in the palace. Let's sneak out of the palace to play?! They asked expectantly.

"Okay, let's go!" The princess readily agreed.

They plan to go to the sorrow-relieving liquor store to find Qiumo to drink.

"Princesses, what do you want to drink?" Qiu Mo asked with a smile.

"Let's just age the grapes!" They replied together.

When Qiu Mo brought the wine, the princess asked, "Qiu Mo, you are a handsome son, why don't you go back to your hometown and marry a wife to live a good life?" ”

He looked at the princess and smiled, "My house has long since disappeared, and now I am the only one floating here alone." ”

"It's okay, we're with you!" The princess comforted. Xiao You and Ye Ning also said: "Yes, you still have us, we can be your good friends to accompany you!" ”

"Okay, thank you princesses for taking care of us, we're going to be together all the time. Here, cheers! Qiu Mo smiled with satisfaction.

After drinking, the princess asked, "By the way, don't you have a crush?" You can get married here! ”

Qiu Mo listened, looked at her, and said sadly: "I have someone in mind, but she already has someone she likes." ”

"Huh? Alas! I was still thinking of seeing you marry the person you like! It's okay, we're with you! The princess comforted in disappointment.

At this time, many guests came to the wine shop, and Qiu Mo said, "Hey, don't talk about it." I'm going to entertain guests, and the princesses are eating and drinking! Then he turned around and went to greet the guests.

They were going to go to the market. In the market, I suddenly saw an electric shop selling biscuits. The fragrant smell wafts in the wind. When they came to the front of the store, they saw that the outer layer of the baked cake was a layer of goose-yellow skin, with some black sesame seeds in the middle, and a circle of transparent mucosal skin on the inside, and the core was purple, which looked delicious. But they didn't bring much silver taels when they left the palace, and the money was not enough.

At this time, Chen Yi walked out from behind the princess and said, "I'll give you money!" "Yi Cheng? Thank you so much, I'm a little embarrassed to let you give money every time. The princess said.

"Luo'an, who is this?" Ye Ning asked with a puzzled expression.

"Oh, I forgot to introduce you. This is a friend I met a few days ago, his name is Yi Cheng. The princess replied.

"Yi Cheng, thank you, always help us give money." The princess thanked again. "What's polite, we're good friends, you're welcome, you can use my money as you like, and my money will be spent on you in the future!" Chen Yi said with a smile. "Hey, don't bother, I can't afford to make this joke, I'm afraid I'll spend all your money, I'm very good at spending it!" The princess replied with a smile.

This way.

"General Pei, the investigation is clear. Last time, that Yi Cheng was the prince of Chen Guo, Chen Yi. Qing Li whispered to Pei Jie.

Prince Chen? He remembered what the queen had said to the princess this morning, but he couldn't figure out why Chen Yi wanted to hide his identity.

"General Pei, I heard that Prince Chen Guo came here for marriage." Qing Li said.

And pro? Is it with a princess? He didn't dare to think about it any further, so he said, "Okay, I know, you can step back first." ”

"Yes, the villain is retiring." He bowed.

Pei Jie saw that he hadn't seen the princess for a long time, thinking that she must have slipped out of the palace, so he took a team of people out of the palace to patrol.

"Brother Pei!" The princess shouted happily when she saw Pei Jie.

Chen Yi saw that it was Pei Jie again, and he couldn't help but feel jealous. And Pei Jie also raised his vigilance after seeing Chen Yi.

"It's getting late, please go back early and rest." Pei Jie saluted and said.

Ye Ning understood as soon as he guessed, so he said, "Uh, yes! It's getting late. That's it, General Pei, you escort Luo'an back to the palace, Yi Cheng, you send me and Xiaoyou back. ”

"Well, I think it does. Easy to come, goodbye. Brother Pei, let's go! The princess spoke without waiting for Chen Yi to speak.

Pei Jie immediately turned around and left with the princess.

"Ye Ning, why do you want to do this?! Just let General Pei send us back together, why bother people Yicheng?! Xiao Yu asked puzzled.

"Can't you see that? Obviously, Luo'an, must have fallen in love with General Pei! Yi Cheng, send us back. Yi Cheng felt a little lost when he heard them say this, but he still replied with a pretended smile: "Okay, let's go." ”

Along the way, the princess still looked at him obsessively, and he still didn't say a word.

After Chen Yi escorted Ye Ning and Xiao You back to the palace, he said to Ah Qi: "Ah Qi, let me investigate the relationship between General Pei and the princess." "Yes." Ah Qi obeyed.

The next day, Chen Yi came to the palace and met with the king of Wei to discuss the matter of peace.

Above the court. "Chen Yi, the prince of Chen State, came to meet the King of Wei." Chen Yi saluted.

"Prince Chen, please get up quickly. The prince came in person this time, but what is there to discuss? King Wei asked.

"Your Majesty, our country has always been friendly with Wei, and Chen and Wei have always been married and related. Now that I have reached the age of marriage, I have come to discuss with you in person as a sign of my sincerity. Chen Yi said.

"Prince Chen, I know this rule, but my daughter is still a little unsuccessful, why don't you give some more time?" King Wei asked.

"Your Majesty, the matter of peace and kinship is related to the safety of the people of the two countries, and the marriage of my Chen State and your Wei State can consolidate the power of the two countries, and protect the safety of the people of the two countries, you shouldn't know this truth, right? The stakes are high, so think about it first. Sometimes, I quit first. Chen Yi saluted.

Chen Yi originally wanted to chat with the princess, and by the way, tell her her true identity. But seeing the princess looking at and following Pei Jie with an obsessive face, he suddenly became jealous and didn't call her anymore.

He was a little sad, thinking that this Pei Jie was the general of Wei, and if he could get rid of him, he would not only get the princess, but also have a great advantage for himself to seize the throne, so he secretly discussed with Ah Qi and prepared to send someone to assassinate Pei Jie.

Evening unitary time. The princess patrolled with Pei Jie. Suddenly, a group of men in black rushed over and fought with swords in hand.

"Protect the princess!" Pei Jie shouted loudly. But the princess was worried about Pei Jie, so she had to fight that group with Pei Jie.

I saw them fighting together, and their swords flashed brightly in the night, making a sound of shock.

Suddenly, someone shot an arrow from a distance, and the man wanted to shoot Pei Jie, but he didn't want to, the archery was not good, and the shot was crooked. The arrow pointed directly at the princess, Pei Jie saw this, immediately rushed over, spun around, and put his arm around the princess's waist to block the arrow. When the guards saw that there was movement here, they immediately came to support, and finally beat the group of men in black back. The princess saw that Pei Jie was shot in the arm by an arrow, and suddenly felt worried and panicked, and she shouted in a panic: "Pei Jie! Pei Jie, are you alright? Quick, come on, pass on the doctor! ”

The imperial doctor checked Pei Jie's pulse and looked at the injury, carefully pulled out the arrow, bandaged it with gauze, prescribed some prescriptions, and said: "Princess, the arrow in General Pei's place was not very deep, and it did not hurt the bones, so there is no big problem, so don't worry too much." The minister had already prescribed some medicines, and the princess sent someone to get the medicine and let General Pei rest for a few days. "Okay, you can step back first. Ah Jiu, go with the imperial doctor to grab the medicine. The princess said. Be. ”

"Fool, why are you so stupid, why did you block that arrow for me? I'd rather be hurt myself......" said the princess in a worried and choked voice.

"It is the duty of the last general to protect the princess." Pei Jie said, and used his hand to make a salute. "Don't salute. You still have a wound on your hand, so you can rest in bed and don't go anywhere, you know? She said in a gentle voice, but Pei Jie was silent.

She has been guarding him by the bedside, taking care of him, feeding him, drinking medicine, and taking care of everything. She looked at him with such tenderness and affection, like a babbling stream.

When Chen Yi found out, he coaxed angrily: "What are you doing?" What a bunch of rubbish! As he spoke, he slammed his fist on the table.

Pei Jie rested all day, and the princess also kept watch by his bedside all day.

When the princess began to get sleepy, she put her hands on the table and squinted her eyes for a nap. At this time, Pei Jie woke up and saw that the princess was asleep, so he got up and carried her into the futon and covered her with the quilt. He couldn't help it, so he looked at the princess and wanted to look at her more. He looked at her eyelashes, as beautiful as a fan, and looked at her delicate face, and he became more and more excited.

He also likes the princess, but he can only endure it, and he can only hide his feelings for her.

Sometimes, however, the more you hide your feelings for someone, the deeper you sink.

He wanted to be with her so much, but he couldn't, and he didn't qualify. With this in mind, he took his sword and went to the courtyard.

He began to practice his sword again, though his arm throbbed a little.

The moonlight sprinkled the clear light on the ground, and under the starry sky in the night, he held the silver sword in his hand, and with a slight twist of his wrist, he stabbed the sword forward, and then swirled the sword to and fro. The remnants of the candles in the courtyard flickered and dimmed under the beating of his sword, and the flowers that fluttered like snow gradually fell to the cold ground.

In the early morning, the princess awoke. Seeing that he was lying on the bed, but Pei Jie was gone, he immediately got up and went to look for it.

In the courtyard, Pei Jie was still practicing swords, and the princess saw him like this, and asked worriedly, "Brother Pei, is your hand injury better?" If you're not well, don't practice swords, your hands, do they hurt? ”

Pei Jie put away his sword, saluted and said, "Back to the princess, the end will be fine." Come, prepare breakfast for the princess. Princess, the last general still has something to do, so retire first. ”

The princess was about to keep him, but he walked so fast that he disappeared without a trace.

She could only watch the leaves blown by the wind as he left, in a silent daze.
