171 A good show and the true appearance of blue silk
"...It took me so long to realize that I really don't want to die at all."
Qingsi said helplessly to herself.
She could no longer run, nor could she outrun the Jin Prince's pursuers on horseback.
She felt it was unfair. Could it be that she had lost all her years and talents before they were revealed?
The long and dark street is deserted at the moment.
Jinling City has always had the most people, but I don’t know what’s going on.
Qingsi suddenly stood up. She didn't want to die, so she had to live on with all her strength!
As she was limping forward, Qingsi suddenly saw a carriage and cavalry in front of her!
"It's Yan's carriage! Prince Zhenbei!"
Qingsi said, she suddenly remembered that day when she was in Lanyue Tower, she and Yan Wulu, the prince of Zhenbei, were alone in the private room, and what Yan Wulu said...
There was light in Qingsi's eyes, and she seemed to have seen a savior.
No longer caring about anything else, Qingsi limped over and ran over, shouting——
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
Qingsi's voice has always been gentle and sweet, but now she shouted it desperately, and it still sounded so good.
As expected, Yan's carriage stopped.
Together with the battle-hardened knights around them, they also stopped together.
Qingsi limped, enduring the severe pain all over her body, and arrived in front of Yan's carriage. She lay directly in front of the crossbar of the carriage and humbly said -
"Your Highness, it's me, Qingsi!"
"Girl with green silk stockings?" a voice came from inside the carriage.
Different from the previous impression of a voice that had a hint of frivolity and evil, at this moment, this voice was like a savior coming to the world.
Sure enough, the next moment, Yan Wulu opened the curtain. He was on the carriage and looked at the embarrassed Qingsi in front of the crossbar...
"...Miss Qingsi, how come you...have ended up like this?"
Qingsi also knew how embarrassed she was now.
She was a little embarrassed inside, but she still tried her best to remain calm and composed on her face.
"Your Highness, the things you promised Qingsi that day in Lanyue Tower, are they still counted?"
As Qingsi spoke, her words gradually became a little more excited and urgent.
"...His Royal Highness, you said that Qingsi can come to you for help with anything, do you still count?!"
"Of course." Yan Wulu replied simply and forcefully.
"Okay, help me get out of here."
Qingsi said directly.
Almost at the same time, the pursuers from the Jin Palace arrived on horseback and confronted Yan Wulu and others.
The Zhenbei cavalry guards surrounding Yan's carriage immediately took action and formed a charging array in an instant to protect Yan Wulu and others.
"So, that's it."
Yan Wulu looked at the black-clad pursuers bearing the mark of Prince Jin's Palace, as if he just understood Qingsi's dangerous situation at this moment.
He walked forward, still on the carriage, squatted down slightly, but still condescendingly looked at Qingsi quietly, and said -
"I can save you, but can I first see how beautiful you are under the veil?"
Qingsi was stunned when she heard this.
She gradually became confused. Is this prince pretending to be a lustful playboy? Or is he really a lustful playboy?
Suddenly, a thought flashed in Qingsi's mind - being lustful doesn't necessarily mean you're a playboy, right?
She somewhat understood...
However, she didn't have the appearance that would make those in high positions take risks.
Therefore, Qingsi used her last bit of strength and all her abilities to say what she thought was the most seductive sentence in her life——
"Qingsi has made a vow that she will never show her face to anyone unless the other person is her husband."
"...But, as long as His Highness the Crown Prince is willing to save Qingsi here, Qingsi will agree to it with his body, so why not?"
"...I only ask His Highness the Crown Prince to save Qingsi's life!"
When Yan Wulu heard this, he turned over and put his hand on Qingsi's uninjured shoulder.
With a smile on his face, he said -
"I understand, then, it's settled."
While talking, Yan Wulu leaned close to Qingsi's ear and continued in a low voice——
"...Actually, Miss Qingsi, I have known for a long time that you are not good-looking. However, I seem to like you a little bit, so I am willing to save you."
Yan Wulu finished speaking and turned around.
The face under the blue silk hat veil was completely stunned. She looked at Yan Wulu blankly, feeling that her previous judgment was completely wrong?
Yan Wulu didn't care about Qingsi's shock at the moment. He waved slightly and commanded lightly——
"Kill them."
More than twenty cavalry guards were ordered, and the cavalry charged on this narrow street, almost unstoppable.
The pursuers of the Jin Palace in front of them also understood their situation. The Zhenbei Cavalry Guards rushing in front of them fled in all directions, or were picked off their horses by the Zhenbei Cavalry Guards' guns.
In the blink of an eye, all the black-clad pursuers disappeared without a trace.
Qingsi was so relieved that she lost all strength in an instant and fell down.
But before falling to the ground, Yan Wulu held him up with one hand.
"Then, Miss Qingsi, the situation is urgent, so we can only offend you first."
Yan Wulu said lightly.
Upon hearing this, Qingsi understood that the other party was referring to the contact between men and women, so she nodded silently, indicating that it was okay.
Yan Wulu immediately picked up Qingsi by the waist and tried his best not to touch the opponent's wounds.
Entering the Yanfu carriage, Nanchuanyue drove away and returned to Yanfu.
…
After the carriage left.
The Zhenbei Cavalry Guard who went to chase him before.
There were also black cavalry who were fleeing and scattered.
At this moment, they all came out of the darkness of the alley.
Zhang Chunhua, dressed in riding attire, rode in front of him, "Well, it seems that you all acted well, and the woman has no doubts."
"It's probably because His Highness the Crown Prince and Mrs. Zhang made a good plan."
The cavalry guards said modestly.
The cavalry in black clothes also took off their black masks and scarves at this moment. They were the other Zhenbei cavalry guards who followed Yan Wulu in the past.
Some of them went into the alley and retrieved the trip rope.
Some people also lamented that it was a good thing that their archery skills had never been accurate, otherwise they almost killed the opponent with one arrow and failed.
Zhang Chunhua smiled and said nothing.
She looked at everything in front of her and felt that she had done a pretty good job in helping the prince.
…
…
Inside the Yan Mansion.
In Yan Wulu's study, Qingsi lay quietly on the chaise longue.
Half of her clothes had been completely removed.
The graceful body is looming, and there is a hazy beauty like "as if holding a pipa and half covering the face".
She was now just leaning on the chaise longue to cover her front, exposing her entire back.
The back, which is as white as mutton-fat jade, has a damaged beauty even though there are several wounds penetrated by arrows.
All the arrows on Qingsi's back have been removed by Yan Wulu.
"I didn't expect that His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince, is also quite proficient in medicine."
"Girl with black hair, don't underestimate Wu Lu."
Yan Wulu said lightly.
He applied the last dose of medicine, wrapped the white cloth around it, and continued——
"...Okay, I've offended a lot of things, I hope the girl will forgive you."
After all, when bandaging, body parts will inevitably come into contact.
Yan Wulu thought it was normal.
Qingsi seemed to be blushing a little, but it couldn't be seen clearly through the veil.
Yan Wulu had seen Qingsi’s true appearance before...
There are bruises and acne on the face, almost all over the face, which is really scary.
After Qingsi glanced at Yan Wulu, she immediately put on the hat and veil. It seems that she is also a girl who loves beauty and cares about her image.
Fortunately, Yan Wulu had already expected it, so his expression didn't change much.
This made Qingsi secretly look at him with admiration.
"To be honest, Qingsi thought that after the prince saw Qingsi's face, he would immediately drive Qingsi out of the Yan Mansion." Qingsi suddenly said.
She also ignored Yan Wulu's presence and stood up directly. With her upper body in full view, she put on the clean clothes that Yan Wulu had prepared for her.
When Yan Wulu saw this, he turned slightly to avoid suspicion.
"Didn't the prince touch it with his own hands just now? Are you still worried about seeing it again?"
"Um?!"
When Yan Wulu heard this, he felt dizzy for a moment.
I've already said it, this is a bandage, don't always think of people in such a nasty way!
"There is no female doctor in the mansion. I think it would be better to benefit from me instead of taking advantage of those old men."
Yan Wulu also took the opportunity to speak. He felt that since the other party was willing to understand this way, then he should understand it this way.
He's used to it...
Being treated as a lecherous scumbag.
After finishing wearing Qingsi, she opened her mouth and said——
"His Royal Highness, what are you going to do with Qingsi?"
"The word disposal is a bit too much..."
Yan Wulu said with a slight smile.
"What about you, Miss Qingsi? Do you have any ideas, or do you have somewhere to go?"
"Qingsi came to Jinling alone, originally thinking of showing off her talent. Who would have thought that she would end up in this embarrassing state, abandoned by her master, and living in eternity."
"...I would like to thank His Highness the Crown Prince for being willing to help Qingsi."
"It's okay, didn't I tell you? I like smart women like you very much, so I am very willing to help you."
"...You have nowhere to go anyway, so why don't you just follow me."
"... Jinling is not the only place where you can show your talents, and your boss will never be the King of Jin."
Yan Wulu said nothing.
Qingsi also knew that the other party wanted to recruit her.
However, Qingsi still has a question deep in her heart——
"After the prince saw Qingsi's appearance, didn't he dislike Qingsi?"
"Dislike? How could that be? Who would despise a counselor as smart as a girl?"
When Qing Si heard this, she didn't get the answer she wanted and was a little disappointed.
When Yan Wulu saw this, he immediately reacted...
"Miss Qingsi, do you mean...something else?"
"Qingsi has said before that Qingsi has an oath first, and the person who has seen Qingsi's true face can only be Qingsi's husband."
"...However, since the prince doesn't want to marry Qingsi, it doesn't matter. Qingsi should just pretend that he never said this."
"Well……"
Yan Wulu was a little stunned, but then he said directly——
"If the green-haired girl doesn't mind having too many women around me, of course I am willing to marry you, girl."
When Qingsi heard this, she was a little surprised for a moment.
She raised her head suddenly and said——
"Your Majesty, don't you mind Qingsi's face at all?"
"How is that possible? I'm not blind, so of course I will be a little uncomfortable."
"ha?"
Qingsi felt that things did not develop according to the script she expected.
Shouldn't the other party say at this time that he doesn't mind the beauty or ugliness of a woman's appearance? Shouldn't he value the inside more?
Yan Wulu saw Qingsi's surprise at this moment. He chuckled, took two steps forward, and gently lifted Qingsi's veil.
The other party did not resist or have any resistance.
"After all, I have seen and touched your body. According to Confucian ethics, how can I ignore you?"
Yan Wulu looked at the other person's face carefully and suddenly said -
"She has the appearance of a beautiful woman. She is just plagued by a stubborn disease."
"...But maybe, I can also cure the stubborn disease on your face, Qingsi, who can say for sure?"
"Your Majesty, don't lie to Qingsi."
Qingsi became a little excited, as if she saw a hope that she had never seen before, "...Qingsi's face is bruised and acne-prone, but even the people in Yaowang Valley say it can't be cured."
"Yao Yingran, the most skilled medical sage in Yaowang Valley, is just my disciple."
"...If the apprentice cannot cure it, the master can cure it. Isn't this a matter of course?"
"If the prince can really cure Qingsi's face..."
Qingsi said, suddenly half-kneeling, "Qingsi is willing to accompany the crown prince for the rest of his life, and then die!"
"It doesn't have to be so scary."
Yan Wulu helped the other person up, "...Originally, curing you of black hair will be of great benefit to me. After all, who doesn't want the person next to him to be a beautiful woman who is pleasing to the eye?"
Yan Wulu chuckled and said, as if he had thought of something, and then said: "But speaking of it, Qingsi, your methods are quite vicious."
"...Although those dead bodies in Lanyue Tower were not from you, you gave them to those beasts. How could you come up with and use these poisonous schemes."
"...You are very bad."
Hearing this, Qingsi couldn't help but feel a little shy because Yan Wulu almost admitted the idea of marrying her in disguise.
But at this moment, his chest was rising and falling slightly, and he seemed to be very excited.
She suddenly said -
"Since ancient times, the counselor's plan is not a poisonous plan? It can only be divided into deep poison and shallow poison."
"...In the late Han Dynasty, Zhuge's several fires killed millions of soldiers. In the late Song Dynasty, in order to win the hearts of generals, Wu's family secretly killed the whole family, leaving no way out."
"... Are they nobler than Qingsi? Are they less evil than Qingsi?!"
Qingsi shouted angrily.
Her attitude was extremely bad, and it seemed that she did not want to endure such infamy.
Yan Wulu's face suddenly turned cold.
"Qingsi, did you talk to your master, Prince Jin, like this before?"
Qingsi reacted, and only later did she realize what she had just done was wrong.
She suddenly lowered her head and knelt down, "Your Highness, Qingsi was reckless for a moment, please forgive me."
"Qingsi... is also a woman, so how can I not understand the pain of women? However, Qingsi is also a counselor and needs to do her best for her master."
"...If the King of Jin could have half as good an image as King Yu in the hearts of the courtiers of aristocratic families, why would Qingsi use such despicable means to win over those beasts like pigs?"
Yan Wulu looked at the woman in front of him and recalled the scene when they first met in Lanyue Tower. For a moment, he just felt that things in the world were constantly changing.
"Actually, Qingsi, you don't need to argue like this."
Yan Wulu chuckled, and his expression became friendly again, "...I, Yan Wulu, am not a good person. As long as your strategy is useful, I don't care how vicious or despicable it is.
"
"...It's just that I hope you can keep my bottom line in mind, don't betray me, and don't set up me and the people I love. Otherwise, I won't tolerate you."
After Yan Wulu finished speaking, he raised Qingsi, who was half-kneeling, with one hand.
"Your Highness, please feel free to worry."
Qingsi still bowed her head, very respectfully, and continued with a charm: "Since ancient times, there have been only counselors who betray their masters. How can there be a woman who betrays her husband?"
Yan Wulu smiled knowingly when he heard this. He didn't expect that Qingsi would say such disgusting words.
But he also felt that the words here seemed a little untenable.
I wanted to give a few counterexamples.
But they were all defeated by Qingsi one by one...
"Forget it, I can't help you."
Yan Wulu chuckled helplessly and said at the same time: "...Sure enough, I shouldn't even think about arguing with the counselor."
