Chapter 738 Kidnapping
"Oh, Prince Xie, why are you so incapable of drinking, you're drunk after just one drink."
Chu Nanzhi feigned surprise and went to Xie Jingchen and called several times, making sure that he had been knocked over, then sat up straight again, continued to pour a glass of wine slowly and generously, savored it carefully, and said with a wicked smile : "It doesn't matter if you're drunk, or you're drunk."
"Stinky girl, what did you do to my Highness?"
Uncle Sixth Xie realized something was wrong, and hurried forward to meet Xie Jingchen and tried his best to help him up, but he couldn't wake up no matter how much he screamed.
Li Shiyao directly pulled out the short blade hidden in her bosom, and reprimanded solemnly: "I knew you had no good intentions, tell me quickly, what is your Highness doing?"
"I didn't do anything."
Chu Nanzhi continued to taste the fine wine in his hand: "We drink tea together, and we drink wine together. Could it be that this palace just wants to fight against the crown prince?"
"No, no."
Uncle Sixth Xie reacted belatedly: "You must have tampered with that cup of tea just now."
After saying that, she immediately drew out the dagger hidden in her waist and pointed it at Chu Nanzhi: "Girl, if you dare to murder His Highness again, I will definitely not let you go."
"Why, do you want to fight?"
Chen Chuan also pulled out his sword angrily, glaring at the two of them.
Bender whistled directly outside the courtyard, and then rushed in more than 20 strong and strong men, each holding sharp knives, and surrounded Uncle Xie Liu and Li Shiyao.
"Lieutenant Chen, General Ban must not be rude."
Chu Nanzhi got up slowly, waved to everyone, and Bender asked people to put away their weapons.
Chu Nanzhi knew that time was running out, and she had to go back to Yumanlou before dawn, so she asked Li Shiyao and Uncle Xie bluntly: "I don't need to say much about the current situation in Jingling City, you two must be clear about it. Prince Xie is not afraid of staying in Beijing as a hostage, so are you two willing to let him stay in Beijing and be manipulated by others?"
"Why do you pretend to be a good person hypocritically? If it weren't for you, why would he risk his life? How could he be willing to stay in Jingling City?"
Li Shiyao's eyes were full of resentment, and she reprimanded angrily.
"That's not what I meant."
Chu Nanzhi sneered and said: "Although I have some relationship with Prince Xie, I have rescued him before, but I never thought of asking him to protect him without fear of death. Instead, considering the current situation in Pingning Prefecture, I also hope that He can return to Stone Tart City safe and sound, and facilitate peace talks between the two countries."
Sixth Uncle Xie saw that she didn't really intend to murder the prince, otherwise the three of them should have been caught together. He motioned Li Shiyao to let go of his grievances together, and asked earnestly, "What is Princess Pingning's opinion?"
"I don't dare to say that I'm a high-spirited apprentice. Oh no, it's Prince Xie. He has too many opinions. In order to make him obedient, I can only do this."
Chu Nanzhi looked down at the drowsy Xie Jingchen, and said with a faint smile, "If the two of you want Prince Xie to return to Bai Yu Kingdom safely, then follow my orders."
"it is good."
Uncle Xie Liu replied decisively without hesitation this time.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Chu Nanzhi looked at Bender and said solemnly: "General Ban, tie up Prince Xie immediately."
"What?"
Uncle Sixth Xie was taken aback when he heard that, thinking he had heard it wrong, he looked at Chu Nanzhi in a daze.
Li Shiyao raised the dagger angrily again, and said loudly, "What do you want to do?"
"Before leaving Beijing, no matter what happens, Prince Xie is not allowed to step out of this courtyard, let alone appear in Jingling City."
Chu Nanzhi looked at Li Shiyao, who had resentment in his eyes, and told him unhurriedly: "The lady of the Li family can stay and take care of Prince Xie, and guard him every step of the way. As for Uncle Xie and the Bai Yu delegation"
At this point, she couldn't help looking back at Sixth Uncle Xie who was confused: "I'm afraid that the embassy will suffer some grievances. Please Sixth Uncle Xie stay in Beijing to deal with Qinghe dignitaries."
Uncle Sixth Xie understood her intentions. It turned out that this girl wanted to take His Highness the Crown Prince out of Beijing by force.
He hurriedly signaled Li Shiyao to put down his weapon, nodded to Bender, agreed with Chu Nanzhi's proposal, and slowly nodded, "Even if the two countries are at war, I will not kill you, as long as you can send His Highness the Crown Prince back to Bai Yu Kingdom smoothly, girl." Let alone the old man staying in Jingling City for a while, even if the entire mission goes to die for His Highness, we are willing."
"Uncle Xie, worry too much. No matter how bad I am to the emperor and the empress dowager, I won't be able to kill you all. I also said when I came here that not everyone in Jingling City wants to die. Some people want peace between the two countries. , as long as Prince Xie is fine, you will be fine too."
Uncle Sixth Xie then nodded reassuringly, and replied in a deep voice: "I can trust you girl this time, everything is under your arrangement."
"very good."
Chu Nanzhi stared at Bender intently, and continued to order: "General Ban, please prepare ten carriages for me before the Lantern Festival. As for other arrangements, I will have someone contact you."
"Princess, don't worry, everything will be arranged properly in the end."
Bender clasped his fists and replied.
After arranging everything, Chu Nanzhi turned to look at Xie Jingchen again, his eyes became extremely complicated.
Although this apprentice is a bit unruly, but he has a deep affection for him, and until now he is still thinking about his own safety. There is really no way to respond to his sincere kindness, and now he only hopes that he can be safe. Go back to your homeland.
Looked heavily at Li Shiyao, she didn't speak again, she led Chen Chuan, and ordered Uncle Xie Liu to hurry out of the courtyard together, and then returned to the carriage and rushed towards the city.
Fortunately, everything went smoothly, and there was no delay. When we returned to the city, the general on duty had already been instructed by Bender to guard the city gate. Seeing that it was Princess Pingning's carriage, he immediately let it enter the city.
Before dawn, after the carriage stopped in the secluded alley outside Honglu Temple, Chu Nanzhi asked Chen Chuan to go back to the palace first.
Looking at the elegant room on the second floor of Yuman Building where the lights are still on, before going up, she said to Uncle Xie with some anxiety: "If someone asks about Uncle Liu's itinerary for the night"
Before the words finished, Sixth Uncle Xie rushed to answer with comprehension: "Don't worry, girl, my Xie royal family used to be the masters of this homeland. Couldn't there be a few old friends in the Dahe Empire who visit us during the New Year's Eve?" It’s not uncommon for friends to have long talks all night.”
Chu Nanzhi nodded in relief, sent Sixth Uncle Xie away, and climbed up the wall again.
The icy eaves were icy cold. Fortunately, she had encountered much worse environments than this in her previous life. Even though she was pregnant now, this kind of behavior of a gentleman on the beam was just a piece of cake for her. It easily flipped into the elegant room.
The candles in the room were about to burn out, Sang Qi didn't dare to disturb the people in Yumanlou, and didn't ask anyone to come in to add light, she lay down on the table and took a nap, when she heard the movement outside the willow window, she immediately raised her head Seeing that it was the master who came back, he got up happily and hurried to greet him.
The two master and servant supported each other, and Sang Qi looked at her carefully with a look of fear on her face, and asked with concern: "Where did the master go? I'm worried about the death of the servant."
"I went to do a big thing, I'm afraid someone will come to pick you up soon and we will be out of Yumanlou."
Chu Nanzhi pulled her back to sit at the table, and said with a mysterious smile to her: "You have to act more realistically later, I see that you haven't been completely drunk after drinking all night. Great."
