Lianyi changed into a sky-blue dress. Her black hair was casually tied into a bun at the back of her head, with a simple white jade hairpin inserted in it. She looked pure and elegant.

"Princess, do you want to have dinner now?"

Yue Jue asked softly.

"Just use it briefly. I need to catch up on my sleep. Call me when the sundial comes."

"Yes, princess."

Lianyi went to rest after dinner. Yuejue and the other two also had a simple meal. Then they each went about their duties, looking after their own princess.

Because the wedding has not yet taken place, Luolu did not live with Lianyi, but occupied a floor by himself, surrounded by guards, which made him feel more at ease. At this time, he was meeting Luosha in the room.

Luosha was a delegation of envoys, so before Luolu and Lianyi set out, they had already left the capital of Daqian. One reason was to explore the way, and the other was to go back and report the good news in advance. However, they received the news from Luotangchuan and learned that their third prince had been attacked, so they immediately waited at Fengtang Pass.

"Third Prince, was this done by Daqian?"

The first thing Luosha thought of was Daqian.

"No, they are my two good brothers."

Luo Lu did not hide anything and spoke directly, because Luosha was his father's man, so he would not hide it.

"Is there some misunderstanding?"

Rakshasa asked cautiously.

"Humph! Whether it is a misunderstanding or not is not up to you or me. I have left one of the people they sent alive. I will report this to my father when I return. Please let my father make the decision!"

Luo Lu said with a stern face.

Luosha didn't dare to respond immediately. After all, it was a matter between brothers. It would be better for him not to interfere until the situation became clear.

"Third Prince, you want me to wait here. Do you have any new arrangements?"

Luosha immediately changed the subject.

“Of course, half of the guards I brought with me were killed in the attack. I am worried that I can’t protect Princess Anping. We haven’t left Daqian’s territory yet. Once we enter our territory, we don’t know what we will encounter. I dare not gamble. After all, Anping’s life is related to the three cities.

Moreover, I am worried that if my elder and second brothers really don’t want me to return to Nahe City alive, Princess Anping will also suffer, and the three cities will become nothing. If Princess Anping dies, Emperor Qian will definitely not fulfill his promise, and then we will be in the wrong.”

Luo Lu predicted the worst outcome.

Luosha's eyes turned and he understood what Luolu meant. He was afraid that the eldest prince and the second prince would go all out and completely cut off the possibility of the third prince inheriting the throne. It must be said that he also had this concern.

Moreover, as the leader of the delegation, he has now merged with the Third Prince's men. If anything really happens, he will not be able to escape responsibility. As he thought about this, he frowned.

Luo Lu looked at Luo Sha's changing expression, and then he sighed and said:
“In fact, when I left Nahe City, my father told me that if I chose the princess, I would lose the chance to inherit the throne, and he asked me to think carefully before making a decision.

But this prince thought that it would be a good thing to capture the three cities of Daqian without any soldiers and expand Luo Pan’s territory, so he finally made up his mind to come to Daqian to marry Princess Anping.

But my two good brothers don’t think so. They don’t care about the brotherhood at all. It’s really chilling. If my father knew about this, I don’t know how angry he would be! "

"The Third Prince has taken the overall situation into consideration and captured three cities during his visit to Daqian. This is an invaluable contribution. I will report this to the King when I return.

Now we'd better hurry back to Nahe City as soon as possible. Only after seeing the king can we make a decision."

"Captain Luo is right. This prince has arranged for people to buy food and fodder, and to gather information about Fengtang Pass to prepare for what will happen next. Tomorrow, Captain Luo will go with us to protect Princess Anping."

Seeing that he had convinced Luosha, Luolu immediately told him his plans.

"Yes, I will follow the Third Prince's orders."

Lianyi slept very comfortably, and when she was awakened by Yuejue, the sun was already at its zenith.

"Is An Shou coming? Why is it so late?"

"Princess, it's not General An, it's the sundial."

Yue Jue whispered. "Let him in!"

"Yes!"

Lianyi arrived at the small reception hall of the guest room. Yuejue let the sundial into the room, while she and Yuelang stood guard at the door to prevent anyone from approaching and eavesdropping.

"I am Sundial, your subordinate, meeting the princess. I have completed the tasks you requested, and I have also gained some unexpected gains."

"tell me the story."

“Among those who came to kill Luolu, several of them came for the princess’s dowry. One of the boxes of gold was taken away by them while they were at it.

After I found out, I immediately followed the trail, killed the four men, and recovered the gold."

Sundial said, lowering his head.

"You did a good job. I'll give you five ounces of gold."

Lianyi has always been generous to those who can get things done.

"Thank you for the reward, Princess."

Sundial immediately kowtowed to express his gratitude.

"You can send the remaining gold directly to General An's residence later. I have other arrangements."

Ripple ordered.

"Yes, princess."

"After entering the territory of Luopan, you must be more cautious. Luolu's two good brothers will probably not give up. Although they will not kill Luolu, they will send people to stop him. This time, you lead people to fish in troubled waters. It would be best if you can take the opportunity to seriously injure Luolu and increase the rift between him and the other two princes."

"I understand! Do you need to contact the spies left in Luopan?"

Sundial asked.

“Don’t contact them for now. Even if they contact you first, don’t respond for now.

When my father left, he told me that there was a problem with the spies left here. It was estimated that some of them had defected to Luo Panguo. I should wait until I had time to clean up those traitors and then take over the intelligence network here."

"My subordinate understands!
Princess, I think when you enter Luopan’s territory, you should contact the spies left behind. This will not alert the enemy, but will make Luopan feel more at ease with you.”

Sundial couldn't help but remind him.

"Well, you are right. If our people are here and they haven't contacted the spies yet, it means that we have already noticed something. Your reminder is correct. Let's do as you say."

Lianyi was very receptive and immediately accepted Sundial's suggestion.

"Princess, you are wise! I will make the arrangements right away."

Sundial clasped his fists and after getting Lianyi's permission, he jumped out of the window and disappeared into the night in a flash in his black clothes.

At this time, Fulin knocked on the door and whispered in Lianyi's ear:

"Princess, General An is in my room right now. He doesn't dare to barge into your residence rashly, so I'll let you report."

"He is a man who knows the rules. Let him wear your clothes and come to see me."

"Yes."

Fulin withdrew immediately after receiving the order.

A moment later, An Shiming, disguised as Fulin, entered Lianyi's room carrying a bowl of bird's nest porridge.

Yue Lang took the tray first, and Lianyi smiled and asked An Shiming to take a seat.

An Shiming was not pretentious. After bowing, he asked in a deep voice:
"Princess, what is it that the princess asked me to come here for?" (End of this chapter)
