Edict of Empress Cixi

  Having spent a somewhat restless night, he received a secret edict from the Empress of Yashan Country in Huangfu Jinghao's hands the next day.

  Just let her stay in Xicheng for the time being and not go to Jingcheng. The excuse is that Xiaguolong suspects her loyalty, so as a precaution, she asks her and Huangfu Jinghao to lead 100,000 elite soldiers to guard Xicheng, paying close attention to Xia Guo's movements at all times, and never allowing Xia Guo to invade Yannu Guo.

  After reading the secret edict, the corners of her mouth cracked open in a sneer that grew even wider. The empress had received news and instead of thinking about meeting her own daughter, she was using all her might to push her away...

  Haha, it's really true that there's nothing strange under the sun!

  "Princess, the queen is also for the peace and security of our country—"

  "Are you taking me for a fool, an idiot? Or do you think I'm the kind of moron who'd help someone count their money after being sold out?"

  "Princess!"

  "Get out, get out of my sight! I hate hypocrites the most!" Gong Chenxi vented her anger without restraint, unleashing a barrage of scathing rebukes at Huangfu Jinghao.

  Huangfu Jinghao walked out with a dark face, while Zhuge Jingze expressed that he felt sympathetic towards someone, but he thought the princess had become smarter and was delighted.

  The empress didn't need to say that she was worried that the princess would stir up some trouble on her way back and affect the eldest princess's ascension. As a princess, why could the empress be so biased?

  "Princess, I've thought about what you said before, and I'm willing to cooperate with you!"

  After the anger of dawn and dusk dissipated, I couldn't help but laugh when I heard these words. I stared at Zhuge Jingze and said, "Are you sympathizing with me or comforting me?"

  "Whatever Princess thinks, Shizuka is willing to follow her anyway. For a lifetime, never betray!"

  Never betray!

  It's hard to achieve!

  "Princess, I'll accompany you tonight!"

  Hmph!

  Gong Chenxiu was startled by this sentence and jumped up from the bed, facing Zhuge Jingze's surprised gaze, and calmly stood there, smiling: "I'm tired of lying down, jumping up to exercise..."

  Zhuge Jingze didn't expose her, but quietly stared at her. Chen Xi felt like she was being seen through inside and out, which made her feel extremely uncomfortable. "Fine, if you're happy to sleep with me, then so be it!"

  "Princess, how about I sleep with you tonight?" Hua Zi said, chiming in.

  Morning and evening delightedly couldn't help but nod hastily, "Good! Got a companion!"

  Zhuge Jingze's face changed slightly before returning to normal, "Your Highness, Huagongzi is just an outsider, letting him attend you in bed doesn't seem proper."

  "Well then, let the princess take me in!" Huā Zǐ Xuàn said nonchalantly.

  Jing Chenxi really wanted to curse and ask him if he was a man or not, how could he casually say "let the princess take it" like that.

  Too shameless.

  Zhuge Jingze didn't get angry, he just calmly looked at her: "If the princess wants to add a new person, it's not impossible. After all, the princess hasn't added anyone new this year yet!"

  Oh no!

  Don't call her a prostitute, okay?

  Gong Chenxi felt very helpless, and his future seemed bleak.

  How should these be handled for the husband's servant?

  Why don't we first get rid of the husband sent by Princess Chang?

  It's just Ji Jingyuan and Xiao Bing, Ji Jingyuan is fine, but Xiao Bing has just saved her life, so it's not reasonable to let him go first?

  At dawn and dusk, he was worried, "That Jing Ze, what kind of mistake would the princess's husband make to be divorced by the princess?"

  Zhuge Jingze was taken aback and looked at her strangely: "Why does the princess ask this?"

  "Oh dear, come on and tell me, I just want to know."

  "Infidelity, Betrayal, Defiance."

  Morning and evening listened with a smile, "So, Third Master is..."

  Zhuge Jingze lowered his head, "The third young master is a gift from the Emperor of Xia State, Your Highness should be more tolerant in all things."

  "Oh, I didn't mind him at all, very generous indeed!"

  Will Ji Jingyuan betray the eldest princess? Looking forward to it, Xiao Bing seems to still have some feelings, Zhuge Jingze has made it clear that he has feelings for Ben Jun, and the fifth and sixth princes' attitudes are unclear.

  Alas, the road is still a bit long!

  "Princess, don't worry about these things for now, what's important is you—" Zhuge Jingze glanced at Huazi Xuan and stopped talking.

  I'm sleepy, let me take a nap and talk about it later.

  "Hua Zi rolled her eyes and said, 'Princess, you've slept enough for the past two days. If you sleep any more, you'll become a little pig!'"

  "You - know what, stop bothering me, I want to sleep."

  Gong Chen Xi closed her eyes and ignored them all, but in fact she had used internal energy to counteract the cold poison yesterday when the fire was raging so as not to get too burned. Otherwise, how could she have been trapped in the iron cage for so long with only her clothes destroyed and some injuries on her arms and skin?

  Long-term use of drugs will produce sequelae, drowsiness.

  Zhuge Jingze looked at her, who was fighting with her eyelids, and soon entered the land of dreams. He couldn't help but worry, wondering if she had suffered some other injury yesterday. The princess's body used to be quite good, no reason for her to be so weak.

  "Someone come, go invite Sixth Master over for a visit."

  Zhuge Jingze didn't know at this time that Xu Feishuang and the others were substitutes, he just worried and thought of Xu Feishuang.

  It wasn't until Xu Feishuang arrived that he remembered a problem, last night he seemed to have not treated the princess's injury, and the medicine was all brought by him and Xiao Bing.

  "Sixth brother, how is the princess?"

  The sixth prince lowered his head and sighed, his medical skills were far inferior to Xu Feishuang's, this was a case of forcing a duck onto a perch. Fortunately, he himself understood a little bit of medicine, "The princess is not seriously injured, just shocked and exhausted, she needs plenty of rest, in a few days she'll be fine."

  "Didn't you get hurt inside?"

  "No."

  The substitute Sixth Master left after a moment of stunned silence, and Zhuge Jingze looked at his back in confusion. What's going on? Today, he felt that the aura of his sixth brother was different?

  "The Eldest Young Master and Third Young Master have arrived, saying they want to see the Princess." The guard reported.

  "Please come in."

  Zhuge Jingze saw Beidong Junlian walk in and was stunned again, unsure if it was an illusion. He looked at Zhuge San Gongzi and felt something was off too, what's going on?

  "Beidong Junlian" walked in, took a look and found that Gong Chenxiu was asleep. He let out a slight sigh, "Young Master, I originally wanted to discuss some matters with the Princess, but since she's sleeping, I'll come back when she wakes up."

  "You...do you want to stay and take care of the princess?"

  In fact, he didn't like Beitang Junlian because he was the only one who was actively sought after by Princess Chiyang as her husband, while the others were all given by Empress Long.

  The princess's heart has a place for him, even if he is lukewarm to her, but when she occasionally looks at him, she will reveal the same gaze as when looking at Huangfu Jinghao.

  "It's all right, I can leave the princess with you, young master, I have other things to attend to."

  Bei Tang Jun Lian glanced at Gong Chen Xi and walked out with a hint of regret. The fate of Princess Chi Yang seems to have changed, and asking him to be a substitute is quite troublesome for him! However, looking at it now, it seems quite interesting.

  This morning's sleep was almost half a day, and after waking up and eating, I didn't stay for long before playing the pipa and falling asleep again. Letting Zhuge Jingze watch with wide eyes, it's really too much sleep, seriously suspecting that yesterday's burn might have been somewhere else.

  "Your Highness, is the princess really all right?"

  "It should be fine." Zhuge Jingze was also uncertain, but since his sixth brother said so, it should be okay, right?

  The water smoke gazed at Gong Chenxiu lying on the bed with a melancholy expression, and his eyes flickered with inexplicable colors.

  Huangfu Jinghao returned from his outing and came to visit the palace when he saw Gong Chenxiu sleeping. His face slightly sank, and he subtly took her pulse without leaving any marks. After a while, he let go of her hand and glanced at the eunuch serving beside him: "How is the princess feeling today?"

  "It's okay, the princess had dinner, listened to the piano for a while and fell asleep again."

  Huang Pu Jinghao stretched out his hand to pick up Gong Chenxiu from the bed, and when he stood up and passed by Shui Yan's side, he suddenly kicked one foot over. If Shui Yan hadn't reacted quickly, he would have been kicked in the stomach and flown out.
