Quickly wear: The male protagonist Jue Si is manipulated by a pregnant Jiaojiao

Chapter 408 The Prime Minister Has a Dual Personality 30
Concubine Mei didn't want to face Nanzhi, so when Nanzhi was sent away the next day, she pretended to be still unconscious.

Nanzhi held her hand and told the maid in charge, "After I leave, you take good care of my mother. Don't tell her that I'm gone, and don't let her go to find my father. I'm afraid she'll have an argument with my father and get hurt."

When Concubine Mei heard her words, she couldn't help feeling guilty.

Nanzhi spoke in a low voice, full of reluctance and nostalgia, "It has been so many years since I left. I don't know when I can come back, or if I can come back. Please tell mother not to miss me too much, and just pretend that I have never left."

A drop of hot tear fell on the back of Concubine Mei's hand. Her fingertips curled up and she heard the sound of Nanzhi turning and leaving.

Concubine Mei opened her eyes and looked at Nanzhi who walked out wiping her tears, and she vaguely thought of Nanzhi's childhood.

She was so well-behaved and cute. She threw herself into her arms softly and sweetly, calling her mother.

Although Nanzhi is not a prince, he is still a piece of her flesh and blood after all.

In the end, Concubine Mei couldn't help but shed tears.

Emperor Qi was too anxious and afraid of something unexpected happening, so he did not announce Nanzhi's marriage to a neighboring country to the court officials. Instead, he secretly sent an envoy to escort Nanzhi out of the city.

But he didn't know that the imperial city was already under Lu Huai's control.

Almost as soon as the envoys left the city, someone informed Lu Huai.

At that time, Lu Huai was planning the next step with others. The person who came to report did not dare to go in rashly. It was not until an hour later when the whole thing was over that he dared to go in and report.

"Sir, several envoys escorted the Seventh Princess out of the city, but I don't know where they are going."

Lu Huai was sitting on the armchair. When he heard these words, his expression paused slightly and he raised his eyes to look at the people below.

"When did you leave the city?"

"It has been an hour and a half." The visitor explained, "I saw you were in a meeting just now and I didn't dare to disturb you. But don't worry, I have sent someone to follow them secretly."

Lu Huai stood up and walked outside.

"Ready your horse."

Ye Ling hurried to the stable to get the horse.

But just as the horse was led here, the head eunuch who served Emperor Qi in the palace came hurriedly.

"Prime Minister, please stay. The Emperor has an urgent matter and needs you to come to the palace."

Lu Huai looked at the eunuch in charge who had a worried look on his face.

Judging from his expression, it seemed that something urgent had really happened.

Lu Huai climbed onto his horse expressionlessly, "Tell the emperor that my matter is more urgent."

After saying this, without waiting for the eunuch in charge to react, he tightened the reins and rode away from the Prime Minister's Mansion with a group of guards.

"My lord, my lord, you can't leave..."

Unable to stop Lu Huai, the eunuch in charge felt like the sky was falling. He would definitely be sentenced to death by Emperor Qi when he returned.

As it got darker, the carriage slowed down.

This trip was a last-ditch effort by Emperor Qi, so there were not many people escorting Nanzhi, only twenty or thirty black-armored soldiers and the diplomatic envoy, Envoy Wang.

The wheels were rolling and bumping, Nanzhi felt uncomfortable and his face was a little pale.

Lian'er looked at her worriedly: "Princess, are you feeling unwell?"

Nanzhi shook her head, "I'm just a little tired, it's okay, I just feel sorry for you having to suffer with me again."

Lian'er's eyes turned red: "Princess, please don't say that. Lian'er followed you voluntarily."

Nanzhi hugged her. The original owner was so pitiful, with only such a loyal little palace maid to accompany her.

The two had just hugged each other for a while when the carriage suddenly stopped.

Nanzhi heard heavier and more powerful horse hoofbeats.

Then, the dark curtains were illuminated by the fire outside.

The Xuanjia soldiers who were seeing him off drew their swords in panic to protect the carriage. Nanzhi lifted the curtain on one side and saw a familiar figure on the tall black horse at a glance - Lu Huai.

He was wearing a black robe, looking down at her with no warmth in his eyes: "Where are you going, Princess?"

Nanzhi was frightened. She lowered the curtain with trembling hands and leaned against the car wall with a pale face.

Diplomatic envoy Wang Zhengshi stared at Lu Huai warily, holding his sword, "We are following orders. What is the Prime Minister going to do?"

"On orders?" Lu Huai let out a cold smile. "On whose orders?"

Envoy Wang said loudly, "It is the Emperor's order."

Before he could finish his words, a flash of sword light appeared, followed by a clang, and he watched his head fall to the ground.

His body was still standing, blood gushing out.

He just watched in horror as his body fell to the side, and he died with his eyes open.

Ye Ling wiped the blood off his face and walked back to Lu Huai with a sword in hand, expressionless.

Lu Huai looked at the terrified black armored soldiers and said calmly: "Now tell me, whose orders are you following?"

All the black-armored soldiers who had lost their backbone were trembling with fear. They threw away their swords and knelt down.

"I am following the Prime Minister's orders."

Nanzhi listened to the sounds outside, lifted the curtain and walked down tremblingly.

When she saw Envoy Wang lying on the ground with his body torn apart, she was so frightened that her whole body became stiff and unable to move.

Lu Huai asked Ye Ling to drag the body away, looked at Nanzhi, and narrowed his eyes: "Come here."

Nanzhi looked at his gloomy face and did not go over to him. Instead, she pulled Lian'er and ran away.

Ye Ling looked at this scene and subconsciously turned to look at Lu Huai, "Master, are you chasing me?"

Lu Huai's face was cold and he said nothing.

No one dared to chase after him.

Even without asking any questions, Lu Huai knew the intention of Emperor Qi to order people to send Nanzhi away.

He formed an alliance with a neighboring country to help him save his precarious imperial power.

But now the State of Qi is under the control of Lu Huai, and it is only a matter of thought for him to overthrow the imperial power. The reason why he has let it go until now is just to see Emperor Qi's mentality collapse little by little.

How can distant water put out a nearby fire?

Besides, how could the neighboring countries be willing to marry a princess who has no power and no background? There is only one outcome for her, and that is to become someone else's plaything.

It is impossible that Emperor Qi did not think of this, but he did not care. As long as there was a slight chance, he would offer his own daughter without hesitation.

However, she seemed unaware that she could be so easily deceived by the person closest to her.

It's so pitifully naive.

Now that Envoy Wang is dead, there is no one to escort Nanzhi to the neighboring country for marriage.

At this moment, Lu Huai thought, if Nanzhi wanted to leave, let her go. He could let her go of this mess.

Lu Huaile turned his horse and was about to leave, but the next moment...

"Princess, Princess, what's wrong with you?"

"Princess, please don't scare me..."

Lu Huai looked back and saw Nanzhi suddenly fainted not far away.

His expression changed, he dismounted from his horse and strode over.

Lian'er hugged Nanzhi, terrified.

Lu Huai took Nanzhi from her arms, and as soon as he touched her, he felt his palms get wet.
