Prince Jin understood what he meant: "You mean, let the princess stay here to act as my lord, and I will leave overnight?!"
Almost at the same time as he put forward this idea, he affirmed Xue Changshi's suggestion - it now seems that there is no better way than this. Now is a matter of life and death. If he is not careful, he may very likely die like the Ming family.
He has been a dutiful person all his life, and even when his brothers were fighting for the throne and were bleeding, he didn't have any excessive thoughts.
Of course it’s because he is timid, but more importantly it’s because he values his life.
He cherished his life the most. Since childhood, he would be frightened for a long time even if he had a small wound. When he was young, he coughed up blood because of lung heat. He always worried that he had an incurable disease and would die at any time. He was frightened for a long time.
He would never put himself in danger.
Xue Changshi nodded coldly: "Although this puts the princess in danger, there is really no other way. We have no other way out now, Your Majesty..."
He seemed to be afraid that the Prince of Jin would not agree. After thinking for a while, he said, "Besides, things may not be as bad as we think. Otherwise, you should go first. If the emperor really has no other intentions and just issues an edict to reprimand or to say how to deal with the young master, you can say that the princess's illness has been cured by a famous doctor and she is waiting for you on the way. If there is really an edict to summon you to the capital... or if something really happened here..."
Needless to say, of course you have to escape faster, the faster the better.
Prince Jin couldn't help but almost cried out loud, feeling that his life was miserable.
I thought the clouds would finally clear and the moon would appear, but who knew I would be forced to this point.
He couldn't help it and cursed indignantly.
Emperor Longqing is really, why is it so, why is it so? !
This matter really could not be delayed at all. After thinking it over, he quickly gave the order to have all the boats behind to dock. He built a bridge to bring the princess and others on the boats behind to his own boat, and told Princess Jin about this matter in the cabin.
Princess Jin was also terrified. Besides fear, as a mother, she was also filled with anger and worry. She clutched the newspaper and asked Prince Jin: "Is this true? Did Jingmeng really plot against Jingqian?! If this is true..."
Being a mother always has different focuses.
A woman's opinion.
The Prince of Jin impatiently took the report from her hand and threw it to the confused staff behind the screen in front of him. Hearing the continuous gasps and exclamations, he felt even more irritated and angry. He looked at the Princess of Jin and scolded: "You can always find a pretext to accuse someone! Whether it is true or not, we are so far away, how can we know for sure?!"
In fact, King Jin himself did not believe it.
He loved his son Chu Jingmeng the most and wished he could make this illegitimate son the crown prince, so naturally he had the best intentions towards him.
But now is not the time to talk about this.
Seeing Princess Jin's face full of shock and disappointment, he came back to his senses, softened his tone and frowned at her: "Now it's not about Jingqian and Jingmeng being jealous of each other, or the rift between brothers. If this is true, we might end up like the Ming family on the way - but it's different. We might die at the hands of pirates!"
Princess Jin was no fool. She understood what Prince Jin meant as soon as she heard it. She gasped and was so shocked that she was speechless.
Prince Jin patted her on the shoulder, quickly walked around the screen and went to the outer room to discuss countermeasures with his staff outside.
He was discussing things heatedly in the front, while Princess Jin was here with her fists clenched tightly, her eyes wide open, feeling panicked and frightened.
I don’t know how bad things have gotten.
It was not until Prince Jin came back and called her that she came to her senses and responded hurriedly.
The King of Jin looked serious and solemn, and after struggling for a long time, he said, "Huifang, I'm sorry to wrong you."
He had never spoken to her in such a tone before. Princess Jin was somewhat flattered, but then she seemed to understand something and laughed at herself, "Have you thought of a way?"
This method is not good for her after all, otherwise how could the King of Jin be willing to be so gentle to her
As she was thinking, the King of Jin smiled bitterly in an unprecedented gentle tone: "There is really no other way. This matter is extremely urgent... Xue Changshi and the others mean that no matter what, you are women, and you are not so conspicuous and important. So... So if you go ahead in the name of being sick, and I continue to stay on the dock, I can get more time and maybe reach the fiefdom earlier..."
Because he was in such a hurry, his speech was not very coherent and his meaning was not very clear.
But Princess Jin understood it as soon as she heard it.
She didn't cry, but asked calmly: "You mean, let me pretend to be sick, and you can go back to the fiefdom in my name?"
This way, we can indeed buy more time.
King Jin nodded hurriedly: "You are women after all. Even if you are found to be a substitute, they will not do anything to you. After all, they also need a reputation."
If you don't want fame, there's no need to fabricate charges.
Princess Jin was unexpectedly calm. She even had the sanity to ask him, "What about the concubine?"
At this time, he still asked how to deal with the concubine
King Jin was stunned at first, but then he immediately reacted: "Are you talking about your cousin? She is staying with you too!"
This doesn't need to be considered at all.
Although he really liked his cousin very much, no one was more important than his own life.
Moreover, if the concubine does not stay, how can the princess be willing to stay for him
He still knows the importance of this.
Princess Jin was stunned for a moment, then she inexplicably wanted to laugh. She thought for a moment and agreed readily without even asking another question.
Prince Jin heaved a sigh of relief and did not care about anything else. He repeatedly ordered his captain of the guard to go find a doctor, saying that the princess had suddenly fallen seriously ill and was about to die.
That night, the fleet of Prince Jin was extremely restless at the dock. First, the Princess of Jin fell ill, and the Prince of Jin kept sending people off the ship to find a doctor, which also alarmed the local authorities.
Then the doctor said that the illness was too urgent and they had to rush to the big dock ahead to find a famous doctor there.
It was not until the late night that Prince Jin made a decision. He sent a large ship to take Princess Jin to the front for treatment.
Xue Changshi naturally wanted to go along as well. He stood at the bow holding the railing, watching a carrier pigeon disappear into the night, and quickly turned around with an anxious look on his face.
