Traveling through ancient times to escape famine, the prince led me to rebel

Chapter 327 Huo Qingyun in a trance

"The Imperial Concubine said that she was pregnant and her mood was very unstable, and the eldest princess instigated her, which led to the misunderstanding between her and the girl.

After the queen calmed down, she thought carefully and finally remembered everything clearly.

At that time, she was frightened by the bamboo leaf green snake and almost fell off the ginkgo tree. These gifts are the Imperial Concubine's thanks to the girl for saving her life."

Luo Xiaoran blinked, and Chen Ji told her that this Concubine Bai was the daughter of a seventh-rank county magistrate, deeply favored by Emperor Tianqi, and the only pregnant concubine in the harem. She had also been at odds with Chen Lingyi for a long time.

She sent her personal maid to deliver such an expensive gift simply because she heard that she would be the future Princess of Yan and wanted to make peace.

Concubine Bai hates Chen Lingyi, and she also hates Chen Lingyi. The enemy of my enemy is my friend, so this gift can be accepted!

"Thank Concubine Bai for me."

After Yinchuan left, Luo Xiaoran called Jiaer and asked him to find someone to deliver all these things to Chen Ji.

"Tell him that I have no use for these things. I will pawn them and exchange them for silver to pay the Northern Border Army. Even though it's just a drop in the bucket, a mosquito leg is still meat!"

Jia Er took the order, then waved to another hidden secret guard and asked him to go and call for help, while he continued to stay in the dark to guard Luo Xiaoran.

Jia Er and the secret guards around him were all left by Chen Ji for Luo Xiaoran, waiting for her orders.

Chen Ji’s order to these secret guards was to protect Luo Xiaoran’s safety at all costs!

……

The imperial carriage left as suddenly as it came.

The farewell between Luo Xiaoran and Chen Ji was limited to the look they gave each other before she lowered the carriage curtain. Anyway, they had talked about almost everything they needed to talk about that day, so there was no need to say more.

Chen Ji looked at Huo Qingyun. He was still dressed as the commander of the imperial guards.

Although the two had secretly formed an alliance in order to find out the truth about the death of the late crown prince, they had to act as if they were not familiar with each other in public.

Last night, Chen Ji once again invited Huo Qingyun to the secluded cottage. There was no trace of Huo Chong in the secret room downstairs, and the person they were talking about changed from Huo Chong to Luo Xiaoran.

"Luo Xiaoran is the person I have chosen for this life. Qingyun, you have to help me protect her."

Huo Qingyun looked dazed for a moment. In the past few days, he had indeed heard the rumor that Luo Xiaoran was the future Princess of Yan.

But rumors are just rumors after all. Now that Chen Ji told him this matter face to face, it really made him feel... deafening!

Huo Qingyun did not answer for a moment. Somehow, he suddenly remembered what happened a year ago.

At that time, he was ordered to find Concubine Bai's brother and sister-in-law on the road to escape famine. That was the first time he met Luo Xiaoran. At that time, he only had some impression of this person who secretly helped a mother and son who were about to starve to death.

Unexpectedly, someone later tried to assassinate Lin Xiaotian, and Li He was ordered to close the city gates. He happened to see Luo Xiaoran among the crowd leaving the city.

Huo Shui, who was searching Luo Xiaoran, recognized the pass in her hand as coming from the Bingmasi.

These passes should all be in Yun Hu's hands. He was very curious why Luo Xiaoran had one in her hand, so he concealed the fact that Luo Xiaoran smelled of blood and had a dagger hidden on her body.

In order to find out the source of the pass, he personally interrogated Luo Xiaoran, but didn't get to know anything.

After Prince Yan came to the capital, he asked about Luo Xiaoran. It turned out that Prince Yan really knew her, so Luo Xiaoran was released from the imperial prison.

Let Luo Xiaoran go, but the strange thing is that her words "Your hand should hold a pen" sometimes echo in his mind.

Maybe it was because... Over the years, he had suppressed everyone's disgust at his decision to abandon literature and pursue martial arts, thinking that his heart had long been numb. However, a stranger like Luo Xiaoran could see through the path he should have taken at a glance, so -

His self-deception was easily destroyed!

The third time I saw Luo Xiaoran, she actually saved Concubine Bai from the century-old ginkgo tree. It was really a surprise every time I saw her.

Luo Xiaoran was facing the emperor, the imperial concubine, and the eldest princess this time, but there seemed to be no fear in her eyes, as if... she had already experienced life and death several times...

"What are you thinking?"

Chen Ji's voice sounded again, forcibly pulling Huo Qingyun out of his memories. He clenched his fists unconsciously, forcibly suppressing the melancholy in his heart, and his tone was still gentle:

"This is the first time I've seen His Highness asking for something. Qingyun... was stunned for a moment."
