Chapter 110 Jiang Pingping is actually a princess of the Chu Kingdom
Ye Jiuchen and Dongfang Wan'er alighted from the carriage. Ye Jiuchen's aura was calm, his eyes were firm and sharp, and his tone revealed his authority: "Yes, everyone, get up. This is my queen consort."
"Greetings, Your Highness..." the soldiers shouted in unison.
Dongfang Wan'er frowned slightly, but quickly regained her composure. She thought to herself, since she had already decided to marry Ye Jiuchen, becoming a princess was only a matter of time; it was just a title. Therefore, she adopted a dignified and elegant posture, and replied coolly, "Rise, all of you..."
The leading soldier respectfully said, "Your Highness, Your Highness, you must be tired from your journey. Please come with me to the residence to rest..."
Ye Jiuchen nodded slightly in agreement.
This house was originally Ye Jiuchen's residence, and now they are going there to rest.
Jiang Pingping stood to the side, watching Ye Jiuchen and Dongfang Wan'er's departing figures, feeling somewhat disappointed. But she still decided to follow them, hoping to have more contact with Ye Jiuchen.
"Halt! This is a military camp, restricted area. Unauthorized personnel are not permitted to enter..."
With a roar, the soldiers drew their swords and blocked Jiang Pingping and the others who were about to enter the camp.
“Miss… let’s go to town first. I never expected that Young Master Chen is actually a prince…” Xiao Cui had never seen such a scene before. She was so frightened that she trembled all over and hid behind Jiang Pingping, not daring to show her face.
Jiang Pingping stared intently in the direction Ye Jiuchen had left, her gaze cold and brooding, before quickly returning to normal.
"Hmm, I never imagined that Brother Chen would actually be the current prince. Let's go to town first..." Jiang Pingping said softly, her voice tinged with disappointment.
Then, the carriage slowly started moving, heading towards the town. The sound of the wheels rolling echoed in the air…
This is an old and solemn house, located in a quiet town. Inside, there is a spacious study, with tall bookshelves all around, displaying various precious books and documents. At this moment, the room is filled with a faint scent of ink and paper.
"Master, the Crown Prince of Jing Kingdom is waiting for you in town..." An Ye reported softly, his tone respectful and steady.
"Oh? He actually came in person, how interesting." Ye Jiuchen smiled slightly, a hint of curiosity flashing in his eyes. "Then come with me to meet him." After saying that, he stood up, straightened his robes, and then left the study with An Ye.
The two arrived in town and quickly found the location of Prince Xiao Zixuan of Jing Kingdom.
Xiao Zixuan was sitting leisurely in a chair, waving an exquisite folding fan in his hand, with a gentle smile on his face.
Upon seeing Ye Jiuchen arrive, he quickly stood up to greet him: "Hey, cousin, you've finally arrived!"
"Hmm." Ye Jiuchen nodded slightly, his expression calm, and walked straight to the seat next to him, sitting down with elegant and natural movements.
“Cousin, don’t be so cold. Your mother is my aunt! Besides, Father and Grandfather both miss you very much. If it weren’t for the fact that you’re in the Celestial Empire, Grandfather probably would have already taken action.” Xiao Zixuan put away his fan, his expression turned serious, and he looked at Ye Jiuchen intently.
However, Ye Jiuchen seemed unconcerned by these words, merely smiling slightly as he replied, "I understand. Exchanging an iron mine for several cities isn't a bad deal." His voice was calm and firm, as if everything was under his control.
Hearing this, Xiao Zixuan felt a little helpless, but still took out a land deed from his pocket and handed it to Ye Jiuchen: "Cousin, here is the land deed for the iron mine. Please take a look. However, we still need to do some pretense to avoid arousing suspicion."
Ye Jiuchen took the land deed, examined it carefully, and nodded in satisfaction: "Very good, then proceed according to plan." He then put the land deed into his pocket, his gaze falling on Xiao Zixuan again, a hint of something deeper in his eyes.
"No need, I will withdraw the troops directly and evacuate the people..." Ye Jiuchen said expressionlessly. He knew in his heart that his purpose in doing so was to suppress Ye Erxiao and make him understand who really called the shots in this country.
“Alright, cousin, when do you plan to return to Jing Kingdom? Grandfather’s health is deteriorating, and he desperately wants to see you one last time. This matter requires travel documents and a token, and the status of a prince of Jing Kingdom has always been reserved for you…” Xiao Zixuan looked at Ye Jiuchen, his eyes filled with worry.
Ye Jiuchen nodded slightly, indicating that he was aware of the matter.
"Oh right, the Chu princess has arrived..." Ye Jiuchen suddenly remembered this and reminded her.
"Chu Lian'er, what is she doing here? Does Chu Kingdom also want to attack the Celestial Dynasty? Hmph, they don't have that ability..." Xiao Zixuan's tone instantly turned cold, and a deep light flashed in his eyes.
Ye Jiuchen shook his head: "I don't know, maybe they're trying to find out something..."
Just then, Dark Night's voice came from outside the door: "Who goes there..." Immediately afterward, Dark Night grabbed a woman.
"Master, it's Jiang Pingping..." An Ye escorted the person into the room and reported to Ye Jiuchen.
"Let go, let go of my young lady..." Xiao Cui anxiously grabbed An Ye, trying to rescue Jiang Pingping.
"Brother Chen, I was just passing by when I saw you coming, and your men detained me." Jiang Pingping said tearfully, her pitiful appearance evoking sympathy.
However, Ye Jiuchen remained unmoved. The corners of his mouth turned up slightly, revealing a half-smile, as if he had already seen through everything.
Ye Jiuchen's gaze was fixed on Jiang Pingping. He said coldly, "Princess of Chu, how long are you going to keep up this act?" His voice was full of sarcasm and mockery, which made Jiang Pingping's heart tremble.
She stared wide-eyed at Ye Jiuchen in disbelief, secretly astonished that he could see through her disguise so easily.
Jiang Pingping's face darkened. She knew her plan had been exposed and she could no longer continue pretending. So, she simply stopped hiding and ripped off the human skin mask from her face, revealing her true appearance.
It was a delicate and alluring face, completely different from her previous frail appearance.
"Hehe, Ninth Prince is indeed impressive, you still managed to see through me..." Chu Lian'er said with a sneer, her eyes flashing with cunning.
She originally thought her disguise was flawless, but she didn't expect Ye Jiuchen to be so perceptive and easily expose her true colors.
"Princess of Chu, what brings you here?" Ye Jiuchen's voice was icy cold, carrying a hint of authority. His eyes were sharp, as if they could pierce through one's heart.
Chu Lian'er smiled slightly, her smile revealing a mix of confidence and cunning. "Ninth Prince, what do you think? Don't you know why I'm here?" She deliberately kept him in suspense, trying to pique Ye Jiuchen's curiosity.
