The thin cold snow was like a northwest wool blanket, gently covering the pavilions and towers, and the silver light flickered in the flickering candlelight.
At the end of winter, the earth is desolate and all the trees are withered, only the proud plum blossoms and frost flowers compete for beauty.
Shen Xihe was wearing a light cloud-colored jacket and skirt with plum blossom patterns, and a silver-red cloak trimmed with white raccoon fur. She sat beside the charcoal basin and unfolded the letter handed to her by Mo Yuan, which was filled with information about the life of Munuha, the third prince of the Turkic region.
From the lines, Shen Xihe had an idea of Munuha's appearance in his mind. This appearance was not about his appearance, but about his way of doing things and his character.
"He is a vigilant and intelligent man, and he is also an extraordinary martial artist." Shen Xihe put down the letter and took the hand warmer from Zhenzhu. "If we want to set a trap for him, we must hit him with one strike."
Otherwise, it will definitely arouse his vigilance, and it will be difficult to succeed next time.
"Princess, Munuha is also inquiring about you." Mo Yuan mentioned again.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is escorting my father to fight him." Shen Xihe said with a smile, "In Kyoto, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has close contacts with me, so it is reasonable for him to inquire about me."
I'm afraid he wants to test Xiao Huayong through her. Shen Xihe is worrying about how to take the initiative without arousing Emperor Youning's suspicion. If Munuha comes to her himself, it will save her a lot of trouble.
"Princess, you must not use yourself as bait." Zhenzhu immediately understood what Shen Xihe was thinking and advised with concern.
Shen Xihe slapped away the furry paw that was about to jump onto the table and steal some cakes, and picked up the short-lived creature that had cried twice: "If he really wants to use me to test His Royal Highness, how would he do it?"
"The princess lives in seclusion in her mansion and rarely goes out. He doesn't dare to break into the princess's mansion and take her hostage." Hongyu said.
Biyu: "When the princess goes out, she is accompanied by guards. He doesn't bring many people with him, and he doesn't dare to attack the princess rashly."
Zi Yu blinked her eyes. She had no say here.
Zhenzhu pondered for a moment and said, "The sixth day is Princess Dai's birthday. Princess Dai has sent out an invitation. If he gets close to her, it would be a good opportunity to make a move."
Moreover, the incident happened in the Prince of Dai's Palace, so it would be difficult for Your Majesty to conduct a thorough investigation, and his suspicion would be reduced.
"But His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will definitely not come."
The Crown Prince is in poor health, and everyone in the court knows it. He never attends any small banquets. The Princess of Dai is not the King of Dai, so he may not send an invitation to the Crown Prince. Last year, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not show up for the Princess of Dai's birthday.
"He wants to come, but I won't allow him to come." Shen Xihe chuckled. Judging from the Crown Prince's current feelings towards her, he has other intentions. Even if he insists on coming without an invitation, others will not suspect anything.
Pearl was puzzled: "If His Highness had not come, how could Munuha have taken action?"
Shen Xihe scratched her short-lived neck, leaned forward to let her black hair fall, covering half of her face, and the charcoal fire reflected on her body. The whole person was surrounded by a layer of red warm light, looking particularly gentle: "Between men, the way to arouse the greatest anger in the other man is to kill his relatives and rob him of his power, status and... beauty."
Pearl was startled, and Jadeite and Red Jade's expressions also changed slightly.
"Princess, are you saying that Munuha is going to do something inappropriate to you?" Even the slow-witted Zi Yu understood.
