Text Chapter 56 Secretly Fighting
After the girl answered, she couldn't hold back any longer, and picked a crispy pigeon to eat, as if she hadn't eaten for dozens of days.
Eating half of the crispy pigeon, Linglong didn't look up, a pair of chopsticks stretched slightly towards another crystal pig's trotters, and when he was about to touch it, he was hijacked by another pair of chopsticks.
The girl was stunned for a moment, raised her eyes and looked at Shang Scarlet Smoke for a long time, and said indignantly, "Hurry up and ask the second question!" I can't hold back my chopsticks! ”
Shaking his head helplessly, Scarlet Smoke said leisurely, "How old are you?" ”
"I will be twelve years old next month."
……
After asking several inconsequential questions in a row, Linglong expressed her doubts, but she was also happy to eat delicious food easily, so she answered patiently.
"Who sent you?" Seeing that the girl was eating happily, she looked like she had let down her guard, and Scarlet asked again coldly.
"Six Emperors...... No, no, no, no one sent me, I came on my own. Linglong replied subconsciously, but suddenly came to her senses and hurriedly changed her words, but it was obviously too late.
Scarlet Smoke's beautiful eyes tightly grasped the girl's gaze that she didn't dare to look at her because of nervousness, "If I'm not mistaken, you're the youngest princess of Xiqin Kingdom, right?" ”
Obviously, her identity was exposed, Linglong was shocked, looked around, and lowered her voice, "Shhh, you keep quiet, this princess doesn't want to be arrested by her father so soon." ”
Hearing this, Scarlet Smoke couldn't cry or laugh, from the beginning she knew that this girl's identity was extraordinary, and from the later questions and answers, as well as the girl's words and deeds, it was finally determined that she was the most unserious little princess Linglong in Xiqin Country.
I don't want to be so lucky, I can meet the princess of another country casually on the street, and Scarlet Smoke doesn't know whether to cry or laugh.
The biggest difference between Linglong and princesses of other countries is that she has an inexplicable perception of people's hearts, but because she is still young, sometimes this ability will also go wrong, for example, before, when she relaxed her vigilance, she was exploited by Crimson Smoke.
Being asked like this, Linglong suddenly lost the nature of sweeping food, and a pair of glass-clear eyes looked straight at Scarlet Smoke, "What do you want to know?" ”
Under the girl's gaze, the scarlet smoke seemed to be exposed to her eyes, and all her thoughts were nowhere to hide. Scarlet Yan's heart tightened, and then he said slowly, "I want to know that the Western Regions is suitable to be involved in the war between the north and the south. ”
"What?!" Linglong was shocked and didn't control it well, and the loud voice startled everyone around him, and his eyes all gathered.
Seeing that Scarlet Smoke didn't speak, Linglong smiled apologetically in all directions, and kept her voice to a minimum, so that only the two of them could hear, "What nonsense are you talking about?" ”
Scarlet Smoke stared at her, "If I'm talking nonsense, why are you so nervous?" ”
"I ...... Do you know how much misunderstanding and panic you can cause by saying this? Linglong's expression froze, and she said urgently.
"Then tell me, what did Xiqin do to require your little girl to travel thousands of miles to other countries? What can you do on your own? Scarlet Smoke stared at the girl without blinking.
For some reason, Linglong sensed a hint of panic and danger in the eyes of the woman in front of her, and her eyes flashed slightly, "This...... I can't tell you ......."
"Did the Six Princes instigate you to come? Is there anyone here to answer you? Scarlet Smoke asked persistently.
Linglong's little face wrinkled, and she said bitterly, "Don't ask, I won't tell you." ”
"Could it be that you want to collaborate with the enemy and betray the country and expose your country's plans to the south?" There seems to be a whirlpool in Scarlet Smoke's eyes, trying to attract the girl.
"I didn't!" Linglong was shocked and blurted out three words, but after realizing what she had said, she covered her mouth.
Really. Scarlet Smoke looked away, and then chuckled, "Okay, okay, let's play with you, if you don't steal food, you can't eat it, why are you so excited?" Can my sister still eat you? ”
A joking remark greatly dispelled the doubts in everyone's eyes, and Linglong realized how much misunderstanding her sentence had just caused, and looked at Scarlet Smoke with a complicated expression.
This woman is too dangerous. There was only this sentence left in the mind of the little Linglong. She can probe people's hearts, but she doesn't want her to control her heart and transmit strong emotions to herself, leading to gaffes.
How much self-control does it take to do this?
Seeing that Linglong looked straight at herself and didn't speak, Scarlet Yan said lightly, "If you are full, let's talk about it in another place, maybe we can achieve a win-win situation." ”
"What does it mean to be a win-win?" Linglong asked stunned.
The woman's eyes twitched, "Even if what you want can be achieved, and my plan will not be disrupted by you." ”
"This king didn't expect that Bai Chi actually sent Linglong here, and he deserved the good name that his father gave him." Wei Chimu received the report from the informant, and his eyes revealed a little disdain, "Where is Linglong now?" ”
"Back to the prince, she is with the princess at this time."
Yu Chimu raised his eyebrows in surprise, "This king knows, go down." ”
Shaking his head helplessly, Yu Chimu reached out and rubbed his temples, now there is a figure of scarlet smoke everywhere. This Linglong was originally to be sent to the prince in his plan, but now that he encounters scarlet smoke, this plan is afraid that it will be invalidated.
Bringing Linglong back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Scarlet Smoke told Bi'er to prepare some snacks and wanted to have a good talk with her.
"Can I call you Sister Yan'er?" Linglong looked at the scarlet smoke and said suddenly.
Scarlet was stunned for a moment, thinking that she would be defensive of herself, but it seemed that she wanted to be close to herself? Nodding, Scarlet chuckled, "Of course." ”
Linglong blinked, "Sister Yan'er, Linglong told you something, will you help Linglong?" ”
I didn't want her to speak first, Scarlet Smoke raised her eyebrows and looked at her, "You talk about it first, and then I'll think about how to help you." ”
Hearing this, Linglong nodded obediently, and then spoke eloquently.
The matter has to be traced back to the year when Linglong was born, the Xiqin Kingdom ushered in the first princess, and the other three countries all sent envoys to congratulate and present treasures to the little princess.
At that time, the northern kingdom sent a deep-sea pearl, but for some reason, as soon as the little princess's hand touched the pearl, cracks appeared on the pearl, and finally it was broken with a "pop".
The people present were shocked by this matter, thinking that Beijiang had made a fake pearl to fool the lord of Xiqin, but they didn't want that pearl to be real, and there was a rumor in Xiqin.
The pearl of the deep sea can survive a catastrophe for people, I thought it was just a rumor, but when Linglong was five years old, a fire broke out in the Xiqin Palace. The fire was so great that everyone thought that the little princess had no chance of surviving, but they found that Linglong had been put into a jug by a maid, and the water in the jar was just up to her chest.
The lord of Xiqin was overjoyed, and made friends with the north and promised that he could agree to a request from the north at any time, and left a token.
And just a few months ago, a person brought that token and asked Xiqin to send troops to help the crown prince seize the throne.
Xiqin had no intention of getting involved in other countries' internal strife, so he refused his request, but who knew that the next day, the man actually asked Xiqin to send troops to the south.
The lord of the country had no choice but to respond. But for the sorrow of day and night at this time, at this time, the sixth prince heard from somewhere that as long as Princess Linglong came forward, the agreement could be revoked, so she came.
Let's not talk about whether she can really break the agreement, the story of the so-called pearl makes Scarlet Smoke wonder.
Although there are many treasures in the Western Regions, the fire in the Xiqin Palace is not necessarily unmany. There is also the news that the six princes don't know where to get the news, and there are many doubts.
Only a simple-minded little girl like Linglong would really believe that as long as she came, she could really withdraw the agreement if she found that person.
Seeing Scarlet Yan's uncertain expression, Linglong secretly glanced at her a few times, "Sister Yan'er, will you help Linglong?" ”
"Listening to what you said, since that person asked your father to send troops to help the crown prince win the throne at the beginning, it must be the crown prince's person." Scarlet Smoke thought for a while and said slowly.
Linglong's eyes lit up when she heard this, "Then how can I find that prince?" Sister Yan'er, can you take me to see the prince? ”
Looking at Linglong's innocent appearance, Scarlet Smoke felt that things were not so simple. Perhaps, someone invisibly wants to bring Linglong to the prince.
But what can a girl like her do when she really comes to Wei Xian's side? Could it be ......
Scarlet Yan glanced at her with complicated eyes, and then reached out and rubbed the top of her hair, "Linglong, you can stay here first, see the prince's affairs, Sister Yan'er will help you plan." ”
"Okay." Linglong nodded happily.
When the bright moon had already risen into the night sky, Scarlet Smoke gently walked out of the door, and when she heard a gust of wind behind her, she said without looking back, "The prince came in time." ”
A quarter of an hour ago, Wei Chimu heard the scream of the secret guard in the study, and knew that she had asked someone to bring the letter to Scarlet Smoke, but she didn't read it, but she still came.
"Hmm......" Wei Chimu looked at the girl's figure, and didn't know what to say for a while, but he heard her say softly,
"Linglong, did you bring it in?"
Wei Chimu frowned when he heard this, but he still said, "Yes." ”
"You want to send her to the Prince?"
"Yes."
"Because she can see people's hearts? Do you want her to bewitch Wei Xian? ”
"It's not bewitching, it's just ......"
However, before he finished speaking, Scarlet Smoke suddenly turned around and stared at him with a pair of beautiful eyes.
"But she's still a child! This ability of hers is not stable, how can you! ”
Wei Chimu sighed when she heard this, "As a royal person, age does not make an excuse for her not to think about this country. ”
As if he didn't expect the person in front of him to say this, the scarlet smoke was gloomy under his heart, and when he raised his eyes again, he was no longer as moved as before.
"The Tian family is really ruthless and selfish."
"However, I won't let you send Linglong to Wei Xian."
