Chapter 871: Chapter 873 Men and Women Fight (2)

Luo Xue was shocked, hearing that King Qin had let Princess Zhao Yang see him right away, she timidly asked, "Guard Feng, do you know why the King has summoned the Princess first thing in the morning?"

Chai Feng coldly said, "Who are we Servants to question what the Master wishes to do? Or does Miss Luo Xue consider herself the Master?"

Luo Xue was jerked back into reality and had to close her mouth and return to the tent to fetch Princess Zhao Yang.

Upon hearing that her brother wanted to see her first thing in the morning, Princess Zhao Yang knew that it must be because of last night’s incident and she was anxious.

"Sister Luo Xue, what should I do? Will Brother scold me? What am I to do? If he wants to punish me, what should I do?"

Luo Xue was also scared. Having been with Nangong Yi for a while, she had some understanding of his temperament. Although the man seemed gentle and harmless, once angered, he was certainly not easy to fool. However, fearing at this point was futile; they had to take it step by step.

"Why should the Princess be afraid? You are His Highness’s own younger sister and he has always doted on you. What could he possibly do to you? At most he will scold you. It’s not as if you will lose a piece of meat over it, and to get rid of that Seductive fox away from King Qin, this deal still seems quite worthwhile."

Reassured by her, Zhao Yang calmed down, dressed, and followed Chai Feng with her head down, full of trepidation.

But something about the route didn’t feel right!

She clearly remembered that her brother’s tent was pitched on the hillside in The South, yet Chai Feng was leading them northward.

"Hey, Guard Feng, I remember Brother’s tent being in The South. Did you take the wrong path?"

Without turning back, Chai Feng replied, "No mistake. King Qin disliked the scent of the incense the Princess lit last night, so he temporarily changed tents and slept elsewhere."

"What?"

"What?"

Zhao Yang and Luo Xue screamed in unison, looking at each other, their faces drained of color!

"How can Brother switch places to stay? Where did he go last night? Who slept in his tent last night?"

Chai Feng did not stop his steps, and while walking, a hint of sarcastic smile swept across his lips as he said coolly, "His Highness swapped tents and slept with the Khan of the Meng!"

Zhao Yang and Luo Xue were stunned!

By then, even if they were slow to realize, they understood why Nangong Yi had not slept in his own tent. He had obviously become aware of their scheme, thus he avoided and incidentally punished the scheming Helana. It seemed like Nangong Yi did not intend to let them off either; otherwise, he wouldn’t have sought them out first thing in the morning.

Nangong Yu and Luo Xue’s faces were deathly pale, their hearts unsettled. They apprehensively followed behind Chai Feng to a piece of forest outside the main camp.

The early morning light was faint, and all was silent.

At this moment, in the early morning forest, some light mist had not yet dissipated. The scenes within the mist were unclear, only the dewdrops hanging from the branches close by could be distinctly seen, while further away only blurred silhouettes intermingled with the vague fog.

In the mist, a man stood with his back to them, hands behind his back under a giant poplar tree. His stature was as tall and upright as an orchid in Jade, wearing a silver-white long robe with arrow sleeves, crowned with a purple-gold crown. With the dim forest behind and the dawn’s slight exposure of the sky, that normally lazy and rakish figure now seemed somewhat lonely and cold—it was King Qin Nangong Yi.

Perhaps hearing footsteps, he turned around, his gaze fell straight on Zhao Yang, carrying a mix of estrangement and disappointment. That gaze, almost tangible, seemed to see right through her, making Zhao Yang feel so guilty she almost wanted to run away before even reaching him.

Luo Xue was also terrified by that daunting gaze, but running away at this moment would only confirm their scheme against him, so all she could do was bite the bullet and tough it out. She secretly nudged Princess Zhao Yang, trying to calm her down.
