"I..." Chunfeng was about to say something when Baili Mochen snatched the wine glass from her hand.
Baili Mochen turned around and said to Dugu Cheng expressionlessly: "My princess is not good at drinking, so I drank this cup on her behalf."
After speaking, he drank it all in one gulp without waiting for Dugu Cheng's response.
Dugu Cheng looked at the empty wine glass, and a trace of bitterness flashed in his heart. Did King Yao really care about this princess? No wonder it is said in the market that the prince is willing to trade the world for a beauty.
"I see, I was too abrupt." Dugu Cheng bowed awkwardly to the spring breeze, turned around and returned to his seat, continuing the boring banquet.
...
On the way back to the palace, in the carriage, the breath of Baili Mochen with some wine fragrance spread in the spring breeze, which inexplicably aroused her heartbeat.
"Why did you agree so easily today to return two cities to him? You also promised not to engage in troops for ten years."
The spring breeze straightened the person leaning on her shoulder, but unexpectedly the person slipped his head directly onto her legs.
He was still playing with Chunfeng's white jade-like fingers. From time to time he would scratch her palms with his hands, and from time to time he would put them to her mouth and kiss them, making Chunfeng feel itchy.
"Okay, stop doing it, what do I want to ask you?" Chunfeng took back his hand and said coquettishly.
"Those two cities are of no use to me in the first place. Moreover, our army has just ended the war and the newly recovered areas still need to be stabilized. It is not suitable to continue fighting under such conditions. It just so happens that your business trip suggestion is feasible, so I agreed. Ten years of business and travel exchanges have brought not only money and wealth, but also the hearts of Liaodong people," Baili Mochen said lightly as he grabbed Chunfeng's hand again.
"Do you want to assimilate Liaodong people through commercialization?" Chunfeng asked in surprise.
"Well! Liaodong seems to be relatively united now, but in fact the current king of Liaodong is a mediocre emperor who is addicted to food, wine and sex, and ignores political affairs. Among the few princes under him, the eldest prince is the only one who is considered talented, but he is only He likes to do business and does not like royal power. The other princes are either idiots or ambitious, and the queen beside the King of Liaodong is not an economical person. In fact, Liaodong's seemingly peaceful people have already dispersed. It won't take long. Without me taking action, they would start the chaos themselves."
Baili Mochen continued to say that he didn't have to hide anything about Chunfeng.
"Well, according to what you said, it's true, so in these ten years we only need to do business and travel well." Chunfeng nodded in agreement.
If Liaodong is no longer Liaodong many years later, then the agreement they signed now will be a different matter.
What a cunning old fox! At this moment, Chunfeng felt this way about Baili Mochen.
"Are you calling me cunning?" Baili Mochen looked at Chunfeng's eyes and narrowed his eyes.
"No? When did I speak? I just didn't make a sound, okay?" Chunfeng glanced at him speechlessly.
Does this guy have the ability to read minds? Why did he know what he was thinking in his heart
"Really?" Baili Mochen looked at Chunfeng and said mischievously.
"Isn't it?" Chunfeng turned his head away from him, pretending to be calm.
"I'll punish you again when I go back!"
Baili Mochen's tone was so ambiguous that it even touched the palm of her hand. A numb feeling instantly spread throughout her body, and Chunfeng's body trembled almost uncontrollably.
He just liked to see her sensitive and timid look, it was so addictive.
Chunfeng naturally knew what kind of punishment he was talking about, and he couldn't help but have two red clouds appear on his face. He just sat there and didn't dare to move anymore, for fear of triggering the wolf nature hidden in someone.
"Why are you so nervous?" When Baili was approaching the palace, Baili Mochen suddenly asked.
"Do I have one?" Chunfeng asked with his head stiffened.
"No? Your palms are sweating this winter. Don't tell me you're hot!" A certain prince turned his head and looked at Chunfeng with strange eyes.
"I, I'm just too hot," Chunfeng said hesitantly.
She didn't know what was wrong with her, but her heartbeat was pounding like this, and her palms were sweating without even realizing it.
"Tough talk!" A certain prince raised a bright smile on his lips, looking at the nagging little girl beside him, he seemed to be in a good mood and seemed particularly comfortable.
...
The agreement with Liaodong will be signed in three days. Because the specific details still need to be finalized, it will take a little longer.
On the second night, a black figure suddenly appeared on the roof of Prince Yao's Mansion. Because of the darkness, the figure almost blended into the night, making it difficult to detect.
The figure rose and fell several times, and finally landed on the roof of King Yao's study.
After a group of patrolling guards passed by, their figures quickly disappeared into the study door.
As soon as the man entered the room, he began to rummage quickly, searching every corner of the study. It seemed that he was looking for something important.
Not long after this person entered, he saw lights suddenly brightly lit outside the study, accompanied by the sound of footsteps of a large group of soldiers and horses moving around.
The man in black wanted to escape, but found that his way was blocked everywhere. Looking at the fire outside, the dagger in the black man's hand was resolutely clenched, and he seemed to be preparing for a fight to the death.
"Your Excellency is here late at night, aren't you ready to come out and say hello?" A cold voice came from outside the door, and the people in the room felt sweat dripping from their foreheads.
After waiting for a long time, there was still no movement from the people in the room. Only an order came from outside, and then the footsteps of the guards running quickly were heard.
The dagger in his hand was raised high, and he was always ready for battle. At first glance, he was a trained figure.
"Arrest the people inside. If they resist, they will be killed without mercy."
"yes!"
The next moment, the guards broke into the door, and a fight broke out in the study.
From inside the study room to outside the study room, the man never said a word, but the moves on his hands were extremely sharp, and the knives were deadly and vicious.
Baili Mochen just stood aside and watched with cold eyes. For such a character, there was no need to take action himself.
Suddenly a servant from the house came over and said something in Baili Mochen's ear. Baili Mochen's face changed and he looked solemn.
At this moment, another man in black fell from the sky, rescued the people who were fighting, and quickly disappeared from people's sight.
"Your Highness, do you want to pursue him or not?" The captain of the guard, who was the leader of the guards, looked at the escaped man and immediately asked the Prince if he wanted to continue the pursuit.
"No need!" Baili Mochen raised his hand and said gloomily.
"Search the palace carefully and send three times more people to the Princess' Purple Light Garden. We must ensure that the Princess is safe, otherwise you should not appear in front of me again."
Withdrawing his eyes, Baili Mochen said coldly to the guards behind him.
"yes!"
