There was no light in the room, and the heavy curtains were tightly closed.

Rong Heng tightly draped Ji Baichu's coat, hugged the quilt, and flattened his mouth aggrieved and stubbornly.

"If you can't marry that useless third princess, are you so angry?"

"The minister is not qualified to be angry with His Majesty, and when the clothes are delivered, His Majesty will go back to Qingyun Palace." When Ji Bai was rarely angry, even if he was angry, he didn't show it on his face, but just put the air conditioner.

Rong Heng was already a cheeky person, threw away the quilt, and squatted barefoot directly on the soft edge of the collapse that Ji Baichu was leaning on, "I won't go, if you don't forgive me, I won't go!" ”

Ji Baichu's eyelids didn't lift, and suddenly, her waist sank, and a head with the fragrance of lotus flowers suddenly appeared.

Rong Heng hugged her waist, she knew that he was going to start playing tricks again.

"Hatsubai, I want to pursue my own happiness, is it wrong for you to do so?" Rong Heng's voice was very soft, as if he was talking to himself.

Ji Baichu still closed his eyes, and his tone was even lighter than his expression, "How could Your Highness be wrong?" It was the ministers who hindered His Highness's pursuit of happiness. ”

The arm around his waist tightened, and Rong Heng's whole face was pressed against Ji Baichu's abdomen.

After a moment, he spoke.

The muffled voice was very weak.

"Do I have to marry her? But I don't like her, I don't like her at all......"

Ji Baichu opened her eyes, looked down at the little scoundrel on her lap, and stepped back, she was not used to getting too close to people unless necessary.

What's more, she remembered that she was angry at the moment, very angry.

"Even if you want to marry, you can't." Ji Baichu's voice was cold, "Since you don't want to succeed on the spot, let's go it alone." ”

Hearing this, Rong Heng's body stiffened, he stuffed his cold fingers into Ji Baichu's warm palm, and smiled cautiously, "How can it be alone?" I know that Hatsubai will always be by my side. ”

"Perhaps." Ji Baichu's tone was perfunctory.

Rong Heng raised his head, he looked at Ji Baichu, and said word by word: "Not maybe, it must be!" ”

After waiting for a long time, the next person sent Rong Heng's clothes, and Rong Heng didn't say anything more, and left the celebrant without any more nostalgia.

And Lady He, who had already received the message, walked directly into Ji Baichu's house at this time, and she also wanted to have a good discussion with that person.

"Thank you for saving your life, He Yu owes Dugong a life."

Ji Baichu lowered his head and blew lightly on the teacup, and the slightly bitter fragrance spread.

"It's just a life, Lady Officer He doesn't have to take it to heart, it's just why the people of Nanxue Country were able to avoid the war, and how to repay this grace to save the country, Lady Officer He has to think about it again."

"What do you mean by that?" Female Officer He faintly sensed the threat, and knew that this person must be uneasy and kind.

"I thought the fifth princess would understand." Ji Baichu didn't bother to go around in circles with her again, "Instead of being sent, it's better to work hard, even if you die, it can be considered relief." ”

Female official He sneered, "I'm afraid that the Duke has recognized the wrong person, the fifth princess is in the palace of Nanxue Kingdom, and she has never appeared in front of people, so don't ruin the reputation of the fifth princess!" ”

It was still a dim inner room, and Lady Officer He couldn't see Ji Baichu's face clearly, but her shallow breathing was still calm and leisurely.

"Does the Governor have anything to explain?" She couldn't sit still, and if she stayed any longer, it was hard to guarantee that she wouldn't show her bottom.

"No, Mrs. He, please." Ji Baichu's casual appearance made Female Officer He more and more confused, but she didn't dare to stop any longer and rushed towards the door.

"I've given the fifth princess a chance."

The sunlight that penetrated through the crack in the door was obliquely reflected on Ji Baichu's face, and the mystery finally revealed his true face, but He Yu was startled and brought the door slammed.

As if so, you can no longer see or hear.

-

The rumor that Rong Heng was thrown into the lotus pond by Ji Baichu spread far and wide, and Qingyun Palace and the celebrant seemed to have a cold relationship because of this, and never saw Rong Heng step into the celebrant again, but he walked around with Luhua Palace from time to time.

The peaceful days were marching in the direction that some people expected, but there was a twist and turn that passed into the Heart Cultivation Hall late at night, and soon, the Praetorian Guards surrounded the celebrant and pressed the female official He into the prison, and even the third princess was imprisoned.

The storm seems to be coming.

"He Yu's business, did you do it?" Lin Lin approached Ji Baichu, who was lying flat, and asked in a low voice.

The reason why the third princess and He Yu were arrested was entirely because those soldiers from Nanxue Kingdom who had infiltrated the capital killed Mrs. Jing Zhaoyin.

Ji Baichu's words were contemptuous, "If this kind of waste had to be done by me, I would have died of exhaustion." ”

"That's right, there are still a bunch of scrap collectors under my hands." Lin Lin yawned as she took out a strip of oil-stained cloth from her arms, "This is what He Yu named and wanted to give you." ”

A sour smell of food rushed into his nostrils, and Ji Baichu frowned in disgust, "Just say, what is she looking for me for!" ”

Lin Lin pursed her lips and threw aside the strip of cloth in her hand, "She wants to see you." ”

"Let her think about it."

Lin Lin, "...... That's gone? "I did so many things, isn't it just to negotiate conditions with others, and now people took the initiative to come to the door, and they disappeared again, strange.

"I've given her a chance, I don't cherish it."

"The army of 50,000 just gave up?" Lin Lin rubbed her chest in pain.

"She's not going to let me just give up."

There was no way, Lin Lin informed He Yu of Ji Baichu's original words, and He Yu really didn't come to her again, because they turned to the emperor and the crown prince to seek protection.

There was no suspense, and the response was either that the emperor was seriously ill and inconvenient to see anyone, or that the queen was tired from taking care of the emperor and also needed to rest.

There was even news that the prince was going to postpone the wedding with the third princess, He Yu was completely panicked, she had to drag someone to deliver the news to Ji Baichu again, and even admitted her identity as the fifth princess between her words.

Idle is also idle, Ji Baichu finally walked out of the celebrant and took a day trip to the prison.

The prison was cold and dark, and the unkempt prisoners were tortured to the point that they could not see their life, and the stench of festering wounds was really unpleasant.

At this time, in the torture room full of black and heavy torture tools, Lady Officer He had just been put down from the torture rack, and the whiplashes on her body were both old and new, and no matter how strong her proud bones were, I was afraid that they were about to break.

Ji Baichu only lowered his head to drink tea, and was not in a hurry to speak.

"Is there a way for the Governor to keep my 50,000 troops of the Southern Snow Country?" He Yu got straight to the point, and as soon as she spoke, she felt that her throat couldn't stop the smell of rust, and she was afraid that she would die in a foreign land.

"I've never been in a loss-making business."

He Yu took a deep breath, "What does the Duke want from me?" ”

"It's not what I want, it's what you have." Ji Baichu's eyes flickered for a moment, and the tea lid closed the teacup, "If there is nothing to do, I will ......"

"It's all for you! Fifty thousand troops are for you! He Yu's bloody fingertips clenched the corners of his clothes fiercely, and the blood stains that had just dried up leaked out again.

"If, if those 50,000 troops were your men, you would definitely keep them, wouldn't you?"

She had no other way, as long as she could keep them, she would have a chance to get revenge.
