Chapter 242 The Uninvited Guest

"Sister Huang, it is Leqin's blessing to be able to accompany the emperor's grandmother to pray for blessings."

Nan Leqin walked to the Queen Mother, and said to Chu Baihan with a smile.

Even Nan Leqin is here, I'm afraid there is really a conspiracy in this trip to the mountains.

"Since the mountain road is far away, we have to start now, otherwise it will be unsafe to travel at night." Chu Baihan said expressionlessly.

The queen mother also nodded in agreement, "Yes, it's time to go."

"However, it seems that General Shi hasn't come yet." Nan Leqin pretended to hesitate.

It was also at this time that the mighty sound of horseshoes came.

Soon, Shi Jing arrived with a group of soldiers.

Looking at this formation, they are indeed elite soldiers.

However, the person behind him...

Chu Baihan narrowed his eyes slightly.

There is another man behind Shi Jing, his eyebrows and eyes are somewhat similar to Shi Jing.

But these facial features had an extremely awkward feeling on his face, far less handsome than Shi Jing.

Most importantly, his eyes looked very gloomy, which made people feel uncomfortable.

He is a collateral branch of the Shi family, named Shi Zhouhan.

Over the past few years, the Shi family's side line, backed by Xu Wang, has also occupied a place in the court.

She also had contact with Shi Zhouhan, during the war.

He thought too much, he just wanted to show himself, and almost dragged down the entire army several times, so she immediately removed his position as lieutenant general.

Why is he following here now?
She clearly remembered that Shi Jing also hated the offspring of the Shi family, so naturally he also hated his cunning cousin.

As if he could guess the doubts in Chu Baihan's heart, Shi Jing got off his horse and immediately explained: "King Xu is worried that our road is not safe, so he asked Shi Zhou Han to follow us."

If Uncle Xuhuang had inserted him in, it would be difficult.

Chu Baihan's eyes became more cold.

Uncle Xuhuang actually intervened in this matter, what are they planning?
The relationship between the Queen Mother and Xu Wang is not considered friendly.

Because, the queen mother neither supports the emperor nor Xu Wang.

On weekdays, she watched the two sides fight each other.

But today, when she saw Shi Minghan, she actually showed a gentle smile.

"Sometimes the general and Shi Shilang will escort you, and the journey will definitely go smoothly."

Shi Lang?
It was only at this time that Chu Baihan remembered that during the time she went to Yanguo, the former servant suddenly died at home, and the Ministry of Criminal Justice couldn't find anything.

Later, the emperor wanted to bring several other courtiers to the minister, but without exception, these courtiers died in strange ways one after another.

Forced to helplessness, the father could only support Shi Minghan.

All in all, Uncle Xu Huang placed another pawn in the imperial court.

"Weichen has seen the empress dowager, the eldest princess, and the eighth princess."

Shi Minghan also dismounted, and then began to salute.

There was nothing wrong with his manners.

And the conversation seems to suddenly become polite.

Chu Baihan raised his eyelids.

What is the purpose of the other party.

"Since everyone is here, let's go." The queen mother also said urgently.

She also seems to want to leave Beijing early.

"Brother Shi Jing, it's hard work for you to protect us." Nan Leqin shook the handkerchief, then said to Shi Jing shyly.

Shi Jing's face was cold, he didn't even look at Nan Leqin, and said directly: "Princess Eight, it's time for you to go."

Nan Leqin was so angry that her overtures were ignored.

But thinking of my own foresight...

She gritted her teeth and said softly, "Okay, then I'll go to the carriage first."

Chu Baihan watched their interaction as if watching a play, and found it extremely interesting.

"It seems that General Shi doesn't like being a son-in-law very much."

She said to Shi Jing meaningfully.

Nan Leqin's love for Shijing may not be obvious to the blind.

Therefore, as long as Shi Jing responds a little bit, the seat of the son-in-law will definitely be his.

"Why does the eldest princess come to tease the junior general? The latter has no affection for the eighth princess."

Shi Jing said expressionlessly.

Hearing his words, the teasing smile on Chu Baihan's face faded a bit.

Her tone was cold: "General Shi made the right choice. The Shijun Palace once fell, but you supported it with your own strength. If your father, queen, mother and concubine are in the spirit of heaven, you should be very relieved. Don't worry about it because of others. Things that will ruin your years of hard work."

After finishing speaking, she turned and got into her carriage.

She believed that Shi Jing could understand what she said.

Since ancient times, people in the world have been proud of marrying into the royal family, or marrying a princess.

But, is that really an honor?
Shi Jing is a talent, he is talented in military affairs, few people can match him.

But if he married Nan Leqin, then his achievements in this life would be just a general.

The power of the Western Chu family was already messed up, and this kind of powerful marriage could not be wronged anymore.

Even if her father doesn't stop her, she will intervene.

If Shi Jing has no intention of Nan Leqin, then everything will be fine.

She and her father don't need to fight each other, and the general's mansion will last forever.

But I just hope that Nan Leqin will not be a demon.

In the carriage, Nan Xing said to Chu Baihan worriedly: "The Eighth Princess is here, and Prince Xu also sent someone here, Eldest Princess, what exactly do they want to do?"

"What do they want to do? We will find out soon." Chu Baihan's tone was slightly cold.

Suddenly, she thought of something, and she asked seriously: "Princess Mansion, are there heavy troops to protect it?"

When she leaves Beijing, there is no guarantee that someone will attack the two little guys, so she must take precautions before they happen.

"Princess, don't worry, Wuji has already made arrangements. The Princess Mansion is impregnable now, and you have also written to the East Palace, and the East Palace will also protect the two little masters when the time comes." Nan Xing quickly replied.

Hearing this, Chu Baihan felt a little relieved.

After a while, she continued to ask: "What's wrong with the arrangement that the princess asked you to make?"

"Reporting to the princess, our princess mansion has dispatched nearly a hundred secret guards and bodyguards to guard halfway in advance."

Hearing Nan Xing's answer, Chu Baihan nodded.

Uncle Xu Huang and the Queen Mother are extremely vicious people, and they must be prepared in advance so as not to be gnawed to the bone.

At this moment, Chu Baihan felt that his hand was extremely painful.

"Princess? How are you? This servant is going to find Dr. Tang right now." Nan Xing sensed that something was wrong with Chu Baihan's expression, and her heart was suddenly suspended.

"No need, this is a normal reaction, let Tang Zishen come over at the next station." Chu Baihan shook his head lightly.

"Yes, princess."

……

At this time, the Princess Palace.

"Master, the princess has been away from the capital for an hour. She doesn't seem to want to take us with her."

Ziying bit the bullet and said to Yan Lin.

Yan Lin turned his back to them.

That back view, no matter how you look at it, has a lonely feeling.
