Xiahou Qing walked out of the carriage with the help of Hui Mo. She raised her head, and her beautiful face was reflected in Xiao Zhangping's eyes. Tears appeared on her face.
She didn't care about anything else and stumbled into Xiahou Qing's arms. Her tears fell like pearls from a broken necklace.
Ning Shu stood at the side with her arms crossed. It would be a lie if she said she wasn't jealous, but she was also curious about what he was going to do with this troublesome thirteenth princess.
"Princess, if you encounter any difficulties, just tell me. If I can help you, I will do my best." Xiahou Qing calmly held her arms and pulled her away from his chest.
Xiao Zhangping's eyes were filled with disappointment when she left his arms. Then, Xiahou Qing comforted her with a handkerchief. It had to be said that this girl was pure and cute. Her love was straightforward and strong, and her hatred was frank and open. She didn't know how to hide her feelings. She was happy after a little coaxing. It was hard to hate her.
Ning Shu thought for a moment and walked over to her and stroked her back, "Princess, don't worry. Ning Shu will not stand by and do nothing."
Xiao Zhangping wiped away the tears on his face and slowly began to narrate, "The Southern Yan Deputy Envoy originally planned to depart tomorrow, but for some reason, he suddenly entered the palace this evening and requested to see me. He even said that he would carefully examine the Golden Body before departing tomorrow, so everything was foolproof … He must have heard from somewhere that I was preparing to escape, so he came to warn me! It must be like this! Before he left the palace, he said that the death of the envoy had made his king very dissatisfied. If there was a mistake in the marriage, he didn't know if the princess could bear the consequences … "
Xiao Zhangping choked with sobs again and looked at the two for help, "Tell me, what should I do now?"
Ning Shu and Xiahou Qing frowned at the same time. They understood. If that was the case, then the Cicada's Shell Shedding Tactic would not work.
Firstly, the case of the envoy's sudden death had just been concluded a few days ago. Although Xue Qiongwei had taken the initiative to return to the Netherworld and Prime Minister Tan had taken the blame and resigned, to a certain extent, the Southern Yan Monarch's anger had yet to be appeased. Under such circumstances, if Nan Yan were to get hold of another weakness, the saber in Nan Yan's hand that was hovering above Great Yue's head would definitely be swung down, causing an immeasurable disaster. Secondly, since the deputy had seen through their plan, there was no chance of success if they continued.
However, to let the Thirteenth Princess accept her fate and marry into the Southern Yan Kingdom to be a puppet for the rest of her life? It was impossible. Now, the situation had reached a dead end.
"You guys are so smart. You must be able to think of a way, right? Why aren't you saying anything? " Seeing that both of them fell into silence at the same time, Xiao Zhangping's face turned paler. He grabbed Xiahou Qing's sleeves hard and said in a panic, "If you really can't do it, Childe Xiahou, marry me! As long as you tell Imperial Father that you want to marry me, he will definitely find someone else to replace me in marriage! Childe Xiahou, don't forget that you promised me. As long as I give you the sleeping clothes, you will definitely help me solve the marriage problem! You can't go back on your words! Childe Xiahou! "
Facing Xiao Zhangping's earnest questioning and pleading eyes, no one could immediately say heartless words to completely cut off her hope. That was equivalent to directly pushing her into the fire pit. But to marry her?
Xiahou Qing faced Ning Shu's direction. His black brocade and his cloud-like wide sleeves fluttered in the wind.
Ning Shu silently clenched her fists.
