Concubine's Survival Handbook

Chapter 499
Halfway through the banquet, it was Princess Laixia from the Southern Kingdom who came up to perform a dance. Everyone didn't think there was anything wrong with it, but Xiao Yuan saw it.

Princess Laixia's eyes were always on Xia Longyu, and she would wink at him from time to time.

With the ups and downs of the music, Princess Laixia slowly moved towards Xia Longyu, taking out the scarf and shaking it in front of him from time to time.

Xiao Yuan at the side just looked at Xia Longyu with a funny face, because she noticed the disgust in his eyes and his clenched fist.

At the end of the song, Princess Laixia knelt down in front of the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, this princess has already found a candidate."

Princess Laixia's action just now was very obvious, and everyone knew who her favorite candidate was.

This time, the reason why Princess Laixia came to Xia Kingdom was also to personally find a suitable marriage candidate.

Now the land of Ning Kingdom is expanding more and more, and its military strength is getting stronger and stronger, which has already threatened the Southern Kingdom, so the monarch of the Southern Kingdom sent Princess Laixia to marry Xia Kingdom.

"Okay, then tell me, who is the right candidate for you?" The emperor chuckled and narrowed his eyes.

Princess Laixia glanced at Xia Longyu's direction, with a shy face, "Jade King, Xia Longyu."

Here, Xiao Yuan just drank the tea into her mouth, before she had time to swallow it, she spit out all the tea when she heard what Princess Laishia said.

Xia Longyu didn't respond until the emperor called him to accept the order.

"Yu'er, Princess Laixia's favorite is you, so my father..."

Before the emperor could finish speaking, Xia Longyu directly refused, "Father, I don't want to marry a concubine so soon."

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall gasped, because Xia Longyu's actions were equivalent to brushing Nanguo's face.

Finally, Xia Longyu turned around in front of everyone, intending to leave the banquet.

"Stop!" The emperor shouted sharply, among these few sons, only Xia Longyu had his own personality.

Whatever Xia Longyu refused, no matter how intimidating or tempting he was, he would never do it.

Xia Longyu stopped, and the emperor's roar came from behind: "Do you still see me as the emperor?"

"Father, my son feels that the emperor needs a concubine to accompany him more." Xia Longyu said indifferently, his implication was that the crown prince has not yet married a concubine, and he is younger than the crown prince, so there is no need to be so anxious.

Even if Princess Laixia wants to marry, she can choose the prince of Xia Kingdom, which will better stabilize the friendship between the two countries.

"King Yu, wait a minute." When Xia Longyu was about to leave, Princess Lai Xia stopped him, "What's wrong with this princess? You don't want to marry me?"

"You are good everywhere, but you are not the type I like."

Xia Longyu didn't want to be entangled so much, so she left without saying a word.

Xiao Yuan at the side also left after seeing this, and when she left, she could feel a vicious gaze cast on her.

After returning to Yuwang Mansion, Xia Longyu just told Xiao Yuan when to leave tomorrow, and then went back to the room.

Xiao Yuan didn't care so much, and turned back to her room.

The next day, Xia Longyu sent Shen Yan to escort Xiao Yuan back to Ningguo, and at the same time secretly sent people from "Dragon Pavilion" to protect them.

After receiving the news, the spies who had been paying attention to the Jade Palace hurriedly went to the palace to report to Xia Yinhu.

When Xia Yinhu learned that Xiao Yuan had come to leave Xia State, he sent people to rob people without saying a word, and absolutely would not let Xiao Yuan leave Xia State.

Here, when Xiao Yuan set off, Xia Longyu wrote a letter to Xiao Lin to let Xiao Lin know.

Ningguo.

Today Xiao Lin has no government affairs, so he accompanies Jing Ning to bask in the sun in the imperial garden.

"King Lin, I have received an urgent letter." A guard handed over a letter.

Xiao Lin was startled. Generally, such urgent letters are due to matters related to the military camp, and of course other reasons are not excluded.

He opened the letter, and when he saw the contents, he stood up from his chair, his eyes turned cold, "Go and find Xi Jiu."

"What's wrong? What happened?" Jing Ning looked at the letter in his hand suspiciously when he saw his excited look.

When she saw the word Xiao Yuan on it, she snatched the letter and read it carefully, "Yuan'er is in Xia Country? Come back today? Who wrote this letter?"

Xiao Lin was thinking about the authenticity of this letter, but he didn't notice that Jing Ning asked a bunch of questions from the side.

"King Lin." At this moment, Xi Jiu also came over.

"Let's go, find a few people, let's go to Xia Guo." Xiao Lin said, no matter whether the letter is true or not, let's go to Xia Guo to find out the news first.

This letter was sent by Xia Longyu in a hurry. The distance between Xia Kingdom and Ning Kingdom is not far, so it was sent in an hour with the speed.

"Ning'er, you wait in the palace, I'll go and bring Yuan'er back." Xiao Lin gave Jing Ning a tender look, and pressed a kiss on her forehead.

Jing Ning nodded and gave him a hug in return.

Xia Longyu had stated in the letter that someone was escorting her, so Xiao Lin needn't worry about it, but Xiao Lin still couldn't be at ease. Now that all countries are not peaceful, it's hard to guarantee that there will be no unexpected situation.

What Xiao Lin didn't know was that something happened to Jingning just after he left Ningguo.

……

barracks.

Lin Meijiao woke up again when she was splashed with cold water, "Ah~"

The wounds all over her body were in severe pain from the stimulation of the cold water, which made her cry out in pain.

"What are you shouting for? Rinse it and change your clothes." Seeing her screaming in distress, a soldier said with disdain.

Lin Meijiao woke up because of the cold water, she looked around, the unfamiliar environment, only the tent, her clothes were torn, lying in the straw pile.

"Where...is...where..." Lin Meijiao asked weakly.

"Heh! This is a military camp. Quickly change your clothes and come out to serve the brothers outside." The soldier threw a suit of clothes in front of her.

Lin Meijiao stared at the clothes in front of her, she immediately understood where she was now, her eyes were full of hatred, she reached out to take the clothes and put them on.

The place where she lives now is specially used to store sundries.

Lin Meijiao endured the pain and put on her clothes. She looked around and suddenly found a gap. She crawled over and poked her head out, only to find that there was a forest outside and there were no soldiers guarding it.

She gritted her teeth, got out, and then plunged into the woods.

At this time, the soldiers who had been going back and forth came in cursing, "Why are you changing clothes so slowly..."

What about people? !The soldiers looked livid when they saw the empty tent.

Lin Meijiao was told by King Rin that she could not be let go, but now she is gone!
The soldiers reacted and hurried out to find someone to hunt them down, but at this moment, soldiers from the enemy country came to fight.

Everyone has no time to take care of Lin Meijiao now, and hastened to send troops to suppress the ready-to-move enemy army.

In the forest, Lin Meijiao stumbled into the depths of the forest, not daring to look behind her.
