When she came out of the meeting hall, she bumped into Xiao Jue who came to look for her.
Qin Zhen had been accompanying Xiao Jue to eat, drink and have fun in the past few days, but she suddenly disappeared for a whole day, making Xiao Jue feel left out.
His expression doesn't look good.
Yan Yu, who was following Xiao Jue, looked at Qin Zhen with some helplessness and said, "Miss, Mr. Xiao...has been looking for you."
Xiao Jue stared at Qin Zhen: "Where have you been?"
Qin Zhen spent a whole day running around, exhausting all her energy in negotiating with Yuan Chu, but now she just felt tired.
She was too lazy to deal with Xiao Jue and looked coldly: "Is something wrong?"
"What is your attitude?" Xiao Jue frowned and said in a deep voice: "You threw me to a maid and disappeared. Qin Zhen, who gave you the courage to do this to me?"
In his words, he already had the air of a prince.
Qin Zhen held him and followed him these days, as if she had made him forget where he was.
Qin Zhen's face instantly turned cold.
"I'm tired today. If you have anything to do, we'll talk about it another day." After Qin Zhen finished speaking, she turned around and left.
Xiao Jue was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously reached out to grab it, but was pinned down by the swarming bandits.
Yan Yu quickly stepped forward to stop Xiao Jue behind him, and said to the gangsters: "Young Master Xiao is the lady's guest, you must not be rude!"
After saying that, he turned back to look at Xiao Jue: "Master, are you okay? My young lady..."
"Shut up! You are not allowed to excuse her!" Xiao Jue scolded her harshly, turned around and left.
Yan Yu was stunned for a moment, then quickly chased after him.
After ten days, Qin Zhen never saw Xiao Jue again.
Every time Xiao Jue came to look for him, Qin Zhen just used the excuse of being sick and didn't even look at him.
Now that the peace talks have been concluded, they are waiting for the emperor's imperial edict. Qin Zhen is too lazy to deal with Xiao Jue anymore.
After all, every time I smiled at him to please him, I couldn't help but want to vomit.
Ten days passed by in the blink of an eye.
On the eleventh day, distinguished guests arrived from Longmen Village.
The imperial envoys went to Longhu Mountain with the imperial edict.
Qin Zhen followed Qin Hong and stood at the mountain gate to greet him.
From a distance, I saw a pair of imperial officers and soldiers approaching the mountain gate. There were not many people, about a hundred people.
Yuan Chu held the spear in his hand and took the lead. Beside him, there was another person.
This man was wearing a black brocade robe and was riding on a horse. He looked to be a head taller than Yuan Chu. He had an outstanding temperament and stood out among the crowd.
Zhao Qing was standing next to Qin Zhen. When he saw the person next to Yuan Chu, he said with some confusion: "Why does this person look familiar?"
Qin Zhen's eyes also fell on that man, and she thought to herself: Doesn't he look familiar? He has been in Longhu Mountain for a long time.
When the group of people approached the mountain gate, Zhao Qing exclaimed, finally seeing who the familiar person was: "Isn't this Lou Yan?"
Qin Zhen hummed: "It's him."
"Isn't he a servant?" Zhao Qing looked suspicious of life: "But, how does this look like a servant?"
The man on the horse was dressed in a brocade robe, with his hair tied up in a high bun, and his whole body looked extraordinary. However, his face was extremely cold, and his eyes seemed to contain eternal ice, and his whole person was filled with a coldness that could repel people thousands of miles away.
Qin Zhen looked at this man quietly and said slowly: "He is not a slave at all."
In the previous life, until Xiao Jue ascended the throne as emperor, Lou Yan also kept his identity secret.
She knew that Lou Yan took into account the brotherhood between him and Xiao Jue and refused to reveal his identity, which caused a rift between the two brothers and made Xiao Jue fearful.
But in this life, Qin Zhen decided to help him uncover this layer of identity.
She wanted to expose Prince Lou Yan's identity, make Xiao Jue suspicious of Lou Yan, and make their brothers turn against each other.
She wanted to see if Xiao Jue could still hold on to his position as the prince and become the Supreme Being without Lou Yan's support all the way.
As the group of people approached, Yuan Chu got off his horse and saw Qin Zhen in the crowd at a glance.
Yuan Chu's eyes swept across Qin Zhen's face, and then he turned back to look at the people around him: "Third Prince, read out the imperial edict."
Yuan Chu was still in a trance when he called out the title 'Third Prince'.
Who would have thought that the humble servant who forced his way into the military camp with a letter and beat him up was actually the third prince who is now living abroad?
When he said "Third Prince", everyone except Qin Zhen was stunned.
They didn't expect that the imperial court would actually send a prince to Longhu Mountain.
Qin Hong and others were shocked. It turned out that the slave who sneaked into Longhu Mountain was actually the third prince of the current dynasty?
Lou Yan's eyes swept across everyone's faces one by one, and finally landed on Qin Zhen's face.
Among all the people, this woman was the only one with a calm face, as if she was not surprised.
Lou Yan's face was a little colder than before.
He turned over and dismounted, took two steps forward, took out the imperial edict from his sleeve, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone in Longhu Mountain listens to the edict!"
Qin Hong and everyone looked at each other, finally closed his eyes and slowly knelt down.
Lou Yan took the imperial edict and read it loudly.
As Qin Zhen expected, the emperor agreed to Qin Zhen's request. After the surrender of Longhu Mountain, it will be a separate branch, not under the jurisdiction of anyone, and will only obey the emperor's edict.
The eight thousand people in Longhu Mountain were reorganized into the Dragon Guards, and were under the command of Qin Hong, the former head of Longhu Mountain.
On the day when the imperial edict is issued, Qin Hong should lead the dragon guards back to the capital to obey the emperor's orders.
Lou Yan collected the imperial edict and handed it to Qin Hong at the front, and said in a deep voice: "General Qin, please accept the edict!"
Qin Hong took the imperial edict with both hands and then stood up with everyone. Just as he was about to say something, he saw Lou Yan bypassing him and walking in front of Qin Zhen.
Qin Hong's expression changed, he pulled Qin Zhen behind him, and said in a deep voice: "Third Prince, if you have anything you can tell me. My daughter is young and she doesn't know anything."
Qin Zhen stretched out her hand and tugged on Qin Hong's sleeve, then walked out and faced Lou Yan.
No, it's not Lou Yan now, but the third prince, Xiao Yan.
Lou Yan stared at Qin Zhen closely and said word by word: "You are plotting against me."
Qin Zhen said nothing.
"The letter to Yuan Chu revealed my identity and asked Yuan Chu to send me back to the capital." Lou Yan gritted his teeth and said slowly: "You know everything...what exactly do you want to do?"
Qin Zhen: "I'm just helping you."
"Do you think I will believe it?" Lou Yan said coldly.
Qin Zhen's expression remained unchanged and she just said: "Whether you believe it or not, I did help you."
She looked at Lou Yan from head to toe and said, "Isn't all this better than being a slave?"
"Qin Zhen!" Lou Yan gritted his teeth and called out the name: "What exactly do you want to do?"
Qin Zhen kept silent.
Lou Yan closed his eyes, took a step forward, and asked in a low voice: "My mother...where did you hide her?"
Qin Zhen then spoke again and said, "As long as my father and I arrive in the capital safely, I will naturally return your mother to you."
Lou Yan took a deep breath to suppress the rage in his heart, and then said in a deep voice: "Where is Your Highness?"
