Chapter 289 Lao Liu, that’s a trap!
Xiangying looked at the boxes of gifts being carried into the palace.
She sat in front of the makeup mirror and looked coldly at the chief maid.
"Go back and tell the queen that I don't agree with the engagement. If she doesn't want to be covered to death when she falls asleep in the middle of the night, take these things back, otherwise I will keep my word."
The eldest palace lady's expression paused, and a cold look flashed in her eyes.
This Xiangying is so bold that even the queen dares to criticize him?
"Princess Xiangying, the Empress has issued an edict on this matter. Now that the Emperor is ill, the Empress is behind the curtain to listen to the government. The Empress's intention is comparable to an imperial edict, so it cannot be changed."
"It doesn't matter even if you don't agree. The empress has said that it doesn't matter if you don't agree with the engagement, because it can be done without your presence."
After the eldest maid finished speaking, she turned to leave.
Xiangying looked at the dozens of treasure boxes in the palace, her eyes deep in thought.
Before she did it, she would definitely get angry immediately and kill the eldest maid first to discourage her.
But just now, Xiangying noticed something strange.
After Jie Chen left for two days, the queen couldn't wait to threaten her.
The purpose should be to force Jie Chen out of danger.
However, Ling Su's plan was to launch a coup immediately after Xie Chen returned and shift the responsibility for the theft of the treasury to Xie Chen.
Seeing that Jie Chen will return to Beijing in two days, why is the queen so anxious to take action now?
Xiangying pondered for a moment and thought of some possibility.
After Jie Chen left the palace, he might have disappeared or escaped from their control.
So the queen wants to use this method to force Jiechen to come back, or force him to show up?
At that time, Xiangying only thought that this was a possibility, so she sat coldly without moving at all.
Half an hour later, Lu Paiyi arrived.
Under his strong brows, his eyes seemed to be filled with concern.
"Xiangying, don't worry. I'm already communicating with the queen. I won't force you, and I will also persuade the queen to take back her life."
When Xiangying heard this, she was once again convinced.
Ling Su and the others had lost track of Xie Chen, so they let the queen take this move.
Lu Peiyi came here now because Jie Chen didn't fall for the trick, let alone come forward, and there was no news about it.
Therefore, they asked Lu Peiyi to test again.
Fortunately, Xiangying was always wary of him.
"Lu Peiyi," Xiangying stood up and walked towards him step by step, "didn't you say you wanted to marry me? What are you trying to persuade the queen to do?"
Lu Beiyi was startled, looking at her starry phoenix eyes as if he was a little confused.
"Don't you disagree? Could it be that you have figured it out."
"Yeah, I figured it out," Xiangying reached out and brushed the treasure box in the palace, "The war is coming, and their disputes are endless. As a princess of a subjugated country, there is nothing I can do, so I might as well follow you."
Xiangying came closer and asked in a low voice: "But what you said about the Northern Qi army, is it true? When will they come?"
Lu Baiyi pursed his lips, with a hint of relief at the corners of his lips.
"It's on the way. If you are willing, I can take you away at any time."
"I promised to cooperate with you, but our wedding has to be postponed. I want to see with my own eyes the destruction of South Vietnam before I leave."
Lu Beiyi nodded: "Okay, I promise you."
After saying that, he turned around and went out to make arrangements.
Xiangying, who stayed in the hall, could only sneer coldly from the corners of his lips.
Do you really think she is a fool? Lu Peiyi really knows how to act!
On the one hand, he colluded with the queen, and on the other hand, as the prince of the Northern Qi Dynasty, he wanted to annex the land of South Vietnam and the looted treasures of the Western Zhou Dynasty. Ling Su is sinister, and Lu Beiyi is no better.
However, Xiangying at least bought himself time.
When her army arrives, she will use the heads of Ling Su and the Queen to boost their morale.
As the saying goes, one shot doubles.

Xie Chen was not in the palace, and Xiang Ying was not idle. He went to search whenever he had time.
When she controlled the drone to fly over the sixth prince's palace, she suddenly saw Lu Panchu standing in the courtyard, talking to two guards.
Lu Panchu seemed to be losing his temper. Xiangying's heart was burning with gossip and he immediately dropped the drone.
As soon as I got close, I heard Lu Panchu say: "Why did you take me away? My father Lu Hong is loyal to South Vietnam!"
The two guards said coldly: "Now someone is reporting that Lu Hong deliberately spread the epidemic. He even caused the loss of the Meicheng granary before and made various mistakes. If the Sixth Prince and Concubine are not convinced, they should go and tell the Empress themselves."
Lu Panchu was anxious: "Just go, I don't believe it. The Queen is also a person who doesn't know right from wrong."
She held up her skirt and walked in front, menacingly.
This book was recently updated in ##六@@九@@书@@!! Updated!
Xiangying frowned immediately.
The reason given by the guard was too far-fetched.
Because even she knew that after Governor Lu got sick, he locked himself in the room for fear of infecting his daughter.
He died of illness and did not implicate anyone, so how could he deliberately spread it?
There was also the theft of the granary. Didn’t the granary fill up later?
Look at the expressions of the two guards, and they did not allow Lu Panchu's maid to follow them.
Xiangying said it was not good.
Lu Panchu, this idiot, must not leave with others!
Especially now that the Sixth Prince is not here, wouldn't he be falling into someone else's trap?
Xiangying used a stealth drone to hook Lu Panchu's clothes.
As Lu Panchu walked, she felt her sleeves being pulled by someone. When she looked back, there were only guards slightly away from her.
She frowned suspiciously: "Why are you dragging me?"
The two guards looked at each other with puzzled expressions in their eyes.
Lu Panchu walked forward, and Xiangying pulled her twice more.
Finally, Lu Panchu turned around angrily and slapped the guard on the face twice.
"You bastard, I am the sixth prince's concubine, and you can touch my sleeves?"
After saying that, she quickened her pace and headed towards the palace where the queen was.
Xiangying raised his hand to his forehead.
"Lu Panchu, an innocent girl, is probably going to fall into a trap."
Xiang Ying could use his feet to figure it out. Ling Su wanted to deal with Jie Chen, and he had secretly communicated with the eldest prince.
The sixth prince was neither appreciated by the emperor nor close to the queen.
They didn't plan to let Jie Chen go, and of course the Sixth Prince couldn't escape either!
Xiangying knew very well the meaning of lip-destroying teeth, and she planned to use a drone to follow them to see what was going on.
Although Lao Liu was not a good person, he was also Jie Chen's opponent, but if he died, this responsibility might be framed on Jie Chen.
Sure enough, it was as Xiangying expected.
When Lu Panchu went to see the queen, he did not go to Fengyi Palace, but was taken by the guards to the Dragon Sleeping Hall where the emperor rested.
This is the place where Ling Su recuperates. It should be heavily guarded, but now there is no one outside.
Lu Panchu closed the door tightly as soon as he entered.
Xiangying used the drone to circle around but couldn't find a place to get in. Just when he was about to remove the tiles and peek inside, he saw the sixth prince and a group of people rushing over from the palace road not far away.
Across the screen, Xiangying couldn't help but widen his eyes.
Is Lao Liu crazy? Did he know that carrying a sword outside the emperor's palace was tantamount to treason?
