Chapter 232 Xiangying gave in?
Xiang Ying immediately had piercing eyes and followed Skinny Monkey, braving the wind and snow, to rush outside the gate of Jiechen.
Qi Fengyi felt that she might have a conflict with the Sixth Prince's people, so he immediately followed him with a few big and round water bandits.
When I walked outside Jie Chen's door, I saw the guards of the Sixth Prince already breaking the lock with axes.
One of the guards was still very confused.
"This lock looks like it's made of iron. Why can't the ax break it? It's really strange."
The thin monkey shouted: "Xiang Ying is here!"
In the wind and snow, Six The prince looked back and saw Xiang Qianqian standing beside him. The two of them stood under the umbrella held by the maid, looking as if they were not exposed to the frost and snow.
Xiang Qianqian lowered her head subconsciously, avoiding Xiang Ying's piercing gaze.
The Sixth Prince narrowed his eyes: "Xiangying, you put this lock in place? What's wrong with Jie Chen, you actually want to lock him up."
He obviously felt that his plan had succeeded and decided that Jie Chen was ill at this moment.
Xiang Ying's expression remained as usual: "Jie Chen has been working hard on the army these days and hasn't slept well for two days in a row. I just came over to coax him to sleep."
"The reason for the lock I just don’t want him to be bothered by ordinary things and not be able to sleep well.”
This sounded ridiculous, and even the sixth prince couldn’t help but sneer.
“You put him to sleep?”
"Why, does the Sixth Prince want to hear the details?" Xiangying's straightforward attitude made the Sixth Prince pause.
He can’t fix it.
Xiang Ying looked at the guards behind the sixth prince.
"Jie Chen discussed it with me before he went to bed. Now that it is freezing cold and the roads are blocked by heavy snow, the city guards in Baicheng have too much to take care of themselves, so he hopes that I can take out some of the supplies I have hoarded and distribute them to the soldiers."
"Those who queue up to receive supplies now will each receive two taels of pork bacon and four steamed buns. However, if you arrive late, they will be gone. Sixth Prince, do you want your people or not?"
The sixth prince was startled.
Pork bacon! What he once scorned, he now craves.
The reason is that the weather is freezing now, coupled with the famine years, the food is getting less and less.
The Sixth Prince still wanted to hesitate, but the guards around him could no longer bear it.
Every time Xiangying and the others cook delicious food, they can smell the alluring aroma.
It's a pity that due to the temper of the sixth prince, he didn't dare to come forward and ask for it. Now that Xiangying has given it willingly, what are he waiting for?
The Sixth Prince's trusted guard came closer and lowered his voice: "Your Highness, it is not easy to get Xiangying to spit out some supplies."
It was indeed not easy. At first, Xiangying sold a few bundles of wood and found He asked for fifty taels of gold.
The Sixth Prince still remembers it.
Across the wind and snow, he saw Xiang Ying with piercing eyes and a mink cloak. She looked like a female prince. How could she have the slightest trace of the female prisoner's desolation?
The Sixth Prince looked back and glanced grimly at the closed doors and windows.
From just now until now, Xie Chen has been silent. Their movements were so loud that it was impossible for him not to hear them.
And Jie Chen has not resisted until now. He is probably sick and does not dare to speak.
The Sixth Prince frowned inwardly. He decided to get the supplies first and then pick a surprising time at night to trouble Jie Chen.
"Okay," the sixth prince said with a smile in just a few seconds, "Then, on behalf of these servants, I would like to thank you."
He waved his hand: "Thank you, Xiang Ying, and go get the supplies."
The guards behind the Sixth Prince all raised their hands: "Thank you, Xiang Ying!"
Seeing him leading people away, A strange color flashed deep in Xiangying's phoenix eyes.
She turned around, took out a bundle from her sleeve, and handed it to Qi Fengyi secretly.
"The Sixth Prince has a distinguished status. In addition to giving him more food, he will also be given two large cloaks and a change of clothes." Qi Fengyi took it, although he was suspicious, why did the eldest princess want to treat the Sixth Prince? so good?
But she never questioned Xiangying's decision, and immediately nodded: "Yes, I will do it right away."
Seeing that she was gone, Xiangying unlocked the door and went in.
Xiang Ying didn’t know that Xiang Qianqian turned back and glanced at the soft fur winter boots she was wearing.
Xiang Qianqian followed the sixth prince back to the house. The sixth prince arranged for his confidant to collect the supplies on his behalf.
"Your Highness," Xiang Qianqian took off his cloak for him, "This thing is very strange. My eldest sister is usually tit-for-tat with us, why is she suddenly so generous?"
The sixth prince glanced at her sideways: "What do you think? What?”
Xiang Qianqian thought: “Qianqian guessed that it would make eldest sister so nervous that she would not hesitate to exchange supplies. There is only one reason to show goodwill, Xie Chen is ill!"
"That's right," the Sixth Prince smiled. "She must know that Xie Chen is ill and wants to divert our attention with supplies, but she doesn't. Sorry, I will definitely save Chen’s life this time!”
At this moment, the trusted guard knocked on the door and came in.
"Your Highness, these are the supplies I received from Xiang Ying. Her maid said that you are His Highness, so I gave you two more sets of cloaks."
The guard put the package on the table, and Xiang Qianqian hurriedly put it on disassemble before.
When she saw two fox fur cloaks, her eyes widened immediately, and her face showed joy.
"Your Highness, there are actually two fox awnings!"
I reached out and touched them. They were soft and thick, able to protect against the wind and cold.
The Sixth Prince sneered and stroked the cloak with his slender fingers: "Is Xiangying trying to please His Highness? Unfortunately, her trick is useless, but the things are good, so keep them."
He asked Xiang Qianqian to be He put it on himself and refused to take it off.
The fox cloak is warm, well-made and beautiful. Is this a good item that Xiangying wears herself?
Xiang Qianqian caressed her lovingly. There are two pieces here. She guessed that the Sixth Prince might reward her with one.
Unexpectedly, the Sixth Prince suddenly said: "Send this to Meicheng and give it to Lu Panchu for my Highness."
Xiang Qianqian was stunned when he heard this.
"Your Highness...want to give it to Miss Lu?"
The Sixth Prince did not look at her and only said: "I received a letter before and it snowed heavily in Meicheng. My Highness and Lu The prefect is in trouble, so let's take this cloak as an apology!"
Having said that, Xiang Qianqian still felt sour in her heart.
She sat down beside him a little depressed, preparing to take the dirty clothes worn by the Sixth Prince in the past few days and send them to the maid to wash them with snow.
But at this moment, she saw an obvious footprint on the back of the dirty clothes.
It looked like someone kicked the sixth prince in the butt.
Xiang Qianqian frowned and recalled that this dress seemed to be what the Sixth Prince was wearing that day when he was kicked in the tent and almost fell into the brazier.
The sixth prince was furious about this and searched everywhere for the person hiding in the house, but to no avail.
Look at the small footprint, it should be that of a woman, and the shoe print is special, it looks like thick and soft stitches.
Xiang Qianqian immediately thought of the fluffy winter boots that Xiang Ying wore, and heard that Xiang Ying had modified them for herself.
Her eyes quickly changed luster, and she quietly looked at the sixth prince aside.
If she reported this matter and guessed wrong, the Sixth Prince would definitely scold her for being stupid again.
But if the bet is right, she will become a hero around the Sixth Prince, which can increase her weight in his heart.
To say it or not to say it? To gamble or not to gamble?
Xiang Qianqian hesitated again and again, and finally made up his mind.
"Your Highness, there is a footprint here, look..."
