Chapter 296: Continuing the Beautiful Misunderstanding
"Your Highness, all the bandits have been under control!" Leng Jiu reported.
"Be careful, there might be a trap!" Xiao Hanye said in a deep voice.
The speed of suppressing the bandits this time was so fast that he was surprised, so he had to think more about it.
Leng Jiuxing replied excitedly: "I have checked everywhere and found no other hidden bandits. This time, it was thanks to the help of the princess that we were able to act so quickly."
Haha, finally he and his Xiaotao don’t have to become a pair of star-crossed mandarin ducks.
"Oh?" Xiao Hanye looked at Chu Nanyue earnestly.
Chu Nanyue snorted proudly: "Even the King of Chen knows that my zombie pills are useful, but you are the only one who doesn't know the treasure and dares to doubt me. If it weren't for me this time, you would still be clueless now."
"Who are you, mother?" Xiao Hanye asked with a smile.
"Whoever doubts me is my son!" Chu Nanyue snorted.
Seeing Chu Nanyue was safe and sound, Xiao Hanye had completely forgotten about her private actions. But after the two of them had a few words with each other, he remembered it again. So, he immediately said angrily, "I have already thought about the bandit suppression. It doesn't matter if I spend two days. What crime should the princess be punished for acting privately and disrupting my plan?"
Chu Nanyue was furious when she heard this. She widened her eyes, glared at the man, and retorted: "Disrupt your plan? If I hadn't acted in time this time, would the twenty-one hostages be safe and sound? If it weren't for my zombie pills, would you have been able to capture the bandits in the cave so quickly?"
Xiao Hanye was speechless for a moment. He frowned and said, "Is this the same thing? Do you know what it means for you, as a woman, to go into a bandit's den alone? You acted on your own without even giving me a heads up. Shouldn't I punish you? You said I'm self-righteous, but aren't you the same? You're lucky this time. If something bad happens, how will I deal with it in the future?"
Chu Nanyue's heart skipped a beat. She had accomplished such a big thing tonight and felt quite accomplished. But why did that bastard accuse her like a selfish person?
Seeing the scoundrel man with a gloomy face and no more words, she pursed her lips and whispered, "I was just going to take a look, but I didn't expect that I would run into bandits buying vegetables by chance. What happened afterwards was out of control, so I had no choice but to do this. I'm wrong this time. You are a prince, don't act like a grudge, okay?"
Xiao Hanye looked at her deeply for a while, then held her tightly in his arms and said quietly: "Since you know you are wrong, you will be punished when you go back!"
Chu Nanyue raised her eyes and glared at him unhappily, "I've already apologized, why should I be punished? I didn't punish you for cheating on me! Is this so unfair?"
Xiao Hanye's eyes lit up, and he rested his chin on the top of her head, saying ambiguously: "Why not punish me? Don't I serve you all night long?"
Thinking of that night at the inn, Chu Nanyue's face instantly turned red, but seeing the people around her, she could only nod in agreement with a red face.
Be punished if you are punished!
There are no damaged fields, only exhausted cows!
Who is afraid of who?
Seeing that the prince and princess had finally reconciled, Leng Jiu continued to ask, "Prince, will we stick to the old rules?"
According to the old rules, those who surrender with weapons will not be killed, but will be sent into exile or exiled, while those who resist stubbornly will be killed without mercy.
As for the stolen goods, half of them were registered and handed over to the court, and the other half was kept in their private treasury.
Xiao Hanye didn't reply but asked Chu Nanyue: "Ayue, are there any of the remaining people you want to kill?"
Chu Nanyue originally wanted to kill that feminine man. Who asked him to strip her naked in public first and then force her to drink that medicine? If she had not taken Baicao Pills beforehand, she would have really died with Tiemu Jiangjiang.
But looking at Tiemu who was holding his chest with his hands and hesitant to speak: "Girl... the second in command..."
She changed the topic and said, "By the way, are the first and second in command willing to surrender?"
Leng Jiu bowed his head and replied: "Princess, those two are people who know the current situation. They said that as long as they are not separated, they are willing to be exiled."
Chu Nanyue looked at Tiemu with an earnest look and let out a long breath, then waved her hand: "Only Monk Hua should die, and the others are up to the prince to decide."
Seeing this, Tiemu quickly nodded to her with gratitude.
His rough face at this moment was extremely complicated.
The girl he possessed turned out to be the Princess of Yan, and the Prince of Yan, who was rumored to be cruel and sinister, actually treated her very well. The two of them looked so well matched standing together, the man's eyes were as bright as stars, and the woman's eyes were as beautiful as stars. I'm afraid that there will never be another couple as well-matched as them in the world, right?
He felt deeply frustrated and lost...
Just keep that matter in your heart...
While he was preparing himself mentally, Chu Nanyue continued to whisper to the King of Yan. She whispered, "Your Highness, can we register less of the stolen goods and turn them over to the court?"
Xiao Hanye curled his lips and said, "Are you greedy after seeing so much gold and silver treasures?"
Chu Nanyue pinched his lower back unhappily. Anyway, it was still dark and no one else would notice. "Am I such a superficial person? I just think we should give some of it to the victims. Those girls were supposed to get married, but they met with such a disaster. This era is too harsh on women. After this, it will be difficult for them to marry their ideal husbands in the future. Why don't we take some of the stolen goods to help them!"
Hearing this, a strange light flashed in Xiao Hanye's eyes, and then he touched her head and said lovingly: "Just follow what my beloved concubine said."
Chu Nanyue replied mischievously: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
At this moment, a loud and urgent voice suddenly came from the bottom of the mountain: "Zhen'er?"
Jiuzhen turned around suddenly and burst into tears instantly. Wasn't that young man with disheveled clothes and messy black hair at the foot of the mountain the fiancé she had been looking forward to day and night?
She subconsciously took a step and ran towards him, but just when they were about to touch, she suddenly ran down the mountain...
"Zhen'er..." Qin Yu shouted anxiously from behind.
"Sister..." A girl also ran forward and shouted anxiously. To no avail, she boldly came to Chu Nanyue and asked for help: "Aunt... Princess Yan, what should Sister Zhen'er do? That's the fiancé she has been looking forward to, right? They finally met... but... what should I do?"
While speaking, she glanced at Tiemu with a very unnatural expression, and then she also ran down the mountain.
Chu Nanyue was about to call her, but a very harsh voice came from the air, making her feel extremely sick.
"Even though Zhen'er had stained her body, she still had the sense of shame to face her fiancé, but the Princess of Yan is so open-minded. Has she forgotten that she also gave herself to bandits in the cave?"
