Chapter 61
"It's okay, it's just a tantrum. I'm used to it, and it's a joke for Mr. Lu." Xuanyuan Jin said calmly, with a trace of embarrassment on his face.
Mr. Lu smiled and said comfortingly: "The princess is still young, and she is just the age to be playful. She will be fine in two years."
"I hope! I am worried that she will be in danger if she returns like this. I will leave the investigation of the burning passenger ship to Mr. Lu. I will leave Luo Feng to assist Mr. Lu. I will go back and take a look first." Xuanyuan Jin looked at it.
Bai Jiujiu ran in the direction he was running and said worriedly.
Mr. Lu hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will lead someone to check the burning passenger ship carefully, and no place will be missed. It is indeed not safe for a weak woman like the Princess to run away crying. Your Majesty, please go and have a look!"
"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Lu. I don't want any news about what happened today to spread." Xuanyuan Jin's voice was a bit stern.
Lu Shangsi quickly assured: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will never let anyone spread the word about what happened today."
Xuanyuan Jin left with satisfaction.
Lu Shangsi looked at his leaving figure with a touch of ridicule and pride in his eyes. He thought that Xuanyuan Jin was afraid that this matter would be spread to the ears of the emperor and General Bai, which would be detrimental to him.
In fact, Xuanyuan Jin wanted to bring the scene to a close, and at the same time he didn't want anyone to ruin Bai Jiujiu's reputation.
Luo Feng first ordered people to drive away the boat, and then went with Lu Shangsi to investigate the boat that caught fire yesterday.
Xuanyuan Jin got on the carriage and left. He quickly caught up with Bai Jiujiu and pulled her into the carriage.
Someone had been following them secretly, and they left only when they saw King Duan and Princess Duan getting into the carriage and leaving.
Bai Jiujiu sat in the carriage and secretly watched the people following them leave. He couldn't wait to look at Xuanyuan Jin for praise: "Your Highness, is my concubine's acting skills remarkable?"
"Princess, you don't need to act deliberately, right?" the man threw such a sentence. Wasn't she like this before? She could make a big fuss over even the smallest things.
After hearing this, Bai Jiujiu pouted and complained: "Your Majesty, can we still have fun? The Bai Jiujiu before has died long ago. The Bai Jiujiu in front of you now is the reborn Bai Jiujiu. It is completely different from before. Absolutely not.
Her true character was completely shaped by her acting skills." She looked at him very carefully and said.
"Whether it's acting or true character, the person who deceives the boss is successful." The man acknowledged her acting skills from the side.
Bai Jiujiu smiled happily and praised without hesitation: "The prince's acting skills are also very good. Without the prince's good cooperation, I would not be able to act alone, so I give the prince a thumbs up." After that, he extended his hand.
The thumb was directly placed on the bridge of his nose.
When he realized that his behavior was inappropriate, it was already too late, his finger was already on the tip of his nose.
Time seemed to have stopped at this moment. The two looked at each other and could clearly see themselves in each other's eyes.
The atmosphere instantly became strange, and something inexplicable flowed between them.
Bai Jiujiu quickly took back her hand and said in embarrassment: "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I'm so rude." In modern times, when she has time, she will go to the orphanage to see the children and play with them. Every time she praises the children, she will
I gave them a thumbs up on the tip of their nose. I was used to this action, so it was just instinctive.
"It doesn't matter." The man did not object to her approach now.
"Your Majesty, do you think Mr. Lu from the Shipping Department knows the secret of that passenger ship?" Bai Jiujiu changed the subject.
"It's difficult to draw a conclusion now, but as the Municipal Shipping Department, Shang Si did not discover the problematic ship in time, which is a crime of dereliction of duty. If he still knows about it, it will be an added crime." Talking about business, the man said
The attitude became serious.
"By the way, Your Majesty, how are those fake beggars making trouble? Have you found out who sent them?" Bai Jiujiu wanted to know. He actually dared to push her into the water and kill her. He couldn't just let it go.
"The tokens of the Crown Prince's Palace were found from them. There were also beggars who were recruited. They were sent by the Crown Prince." Xuanyuan Jin looked at her reaction when she said this.
"Impossible, definitely not the prince." Bai Jiujiu's tone was firm.
The man looked a little unhappy after hearing this: "Why is the princess so sure, and why can't she be the prince?"
"The prince also said that the ultimate goal of those people is to kill my concubine. It is impossible for the prince to kill me." Although she only met Xuanyuan Wen once alone when she came here, she could see his deep love for the original owner.
, will never kill someone painfully.
"Do you really believe in the prince?" The man's tone was a bit colder. There was not much trust between them, but she had complete trust in the prince.
"My lord, don't get me wrong, it's not that I trust the prince, it's just that it's unreasonable.
The queen wanted to use her concubine to kill His Highness, and promised me the position of queen in order to get the support of the Bai family for the prince. If the concubine died, even if the concubine could be instigated to make the Bai family an enemy of Prince Duan's palace, there was no guarantee that the Bai family would help the prince in the end, so they
You shouldn't want to kill me now. Even if you want to kill me, you have to wait until the prince ascends the throne.
Killing me at this time, once it is discovered that they are responsible, will be very detrimental to them. They should not take such risks. After all, the position of the prince is very stable now. They only need to defend well and there is no need to take risks." Bai Jiujiu
Analyze rationally.
Xuanyuan Jin didn't expect that he would be angry because she trusted the prince. Even he found it incredible. After calming down, he said: "I have sent people to continue the investigation."
The pier was silent at night, with no ships passing by on the water, as quiet as a mirror.
Bai Jiujiu and Xuanyuan Jin hid in the dark and looked at the dock, waiting for people to come.
"My lord, are they not coming? If we stay in such a cold weather any longer, we will feel like we will be frozen into ice sculptures." Although Bai Jiujiu was wearing cotton gloves, he still felt cold.
I really wanted to stand up and stamp my feet, but my feet felt like they were freezing.
Although he was wearing thick clothes, he was out in the wilderness and by the water, so the cold wind was biting and unbearable.
She is most afraid of the cold, so she first tried to solve the heating problem after arriving here.
If it weren't for the sake of one thousand taels of gold, she would have quit long ago.
Xuanyuan Jin saw that her nose was red from the cold, and her little face was blue and purple from the cold. She had just fallen into the water yesterday, and if she was cold again today, she would easily get sick.
After hesitating for a moment, he pulled off his cloak and wrapped her in his arms.
Bai Jiujiu was stunned, not expecting the man to do this, and raised his face to look at him.
Under the moonlight, he was coated with a layer of indifferent brilliance, as handsome and majestic as a god, which made people intimidated, but the warmth on his body brought them closer, making people want to get closer.
Her clear and bright eyes were shining, as if they were filled with thousands of stars. When she stared at her, her heart beat faster. She quickly looked away and said, "I am just worried that you will freeze and the general will come back to trouble me."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will never speak ill of you in front of my father. I will only say good things about you, so that my father and your Majesty can be of one mind." Bai Jiujiu looked at him sincerely and said.
In the past, he would not believe whatever she said, but now, seeing the sincerity in her eyes, he believed that what she said was true.
Just as the two of them were talking in low voices, they saw a dozen men in black arriving at the pier, and the one walking at the front turned out to be Lu Shangsi.
