Chapter 318 Chuci Speculation
Chapter 318 Chuci Speculation
In just a few minutes, the prince's thoughts changed into two extremes.
Seeing the prince hesitate for a moment, he finally reached out and took the "Thirty-Six Strategies" from General Ye.
Chu Ci then felt relieved and breathed a sigh of relief.
However, while I was relieved.
Chu Ci couldn't help but fall into deep thought: Before this, because he knew the plot and the existence of space, his journey was too smooth.
Although she knew clearly in her heart that the person in power was no simple person, she seemed to have never had such a real and profound feeling.
But now facing this prince, his imposing manner and strange attitude...
Does this mean that the prince's thinking has now truly broken free from the constraints of the plot's control?
Chu Ci even fantasized that if he had a system, then at this moment, would the image above the prince's head clearly show that he was 100% out of the control of the plot?
Perhaps the system will also provide a series of detailed analyses of the prince's current condition.
For example, why did his way of thinking change? What was the reason behind it?
Thinking of this, Chu Ci couldn't help but stare at the prince's face for a long time, his eyes full of inquiry, trying to find even a hint of something unusual.
However, in the end, nothing was achieved.
This made Chu Ci, who was originally expecting to make some discoveries, burst out laughing and actually amused himself.
It was just unfortunate timing, as it happened at the moment when the prince took over the "Thirty-Six Strategies".
Then, the prince's hand holding the book trembled violently, his face suddenly darkened, and he asked unhappily: "Why is Princess Yixin laughing?"
"Ah?" Chu Ci was bewildered. He never expected that the prince would turn his attention to him.
She paused, pointed at her nose, and said in disbelief: "Prince, are you asking me?"
The prince looked at Chu Ci's confused eyes, and for some reason he suddenly felt extremely stupid.
So the prince changed the subject and said slowly, "It's okay. I saw Princess Yixin laughing like this, and I thought she had some brilliant idea again."
Chu Ci could clearly sense that the prince was not being sincere.
However, because he was distracted just now and his thoughts have not yet been fully recovered, he really can't follow the prince's words at this moment.
She looked embarrassed and flustered, and stammered, "Um, sorry."
"I was just distracted and thought of a joke I heard many years ago. I couldn't help but laugh out loud. Please forgive me, Your Highness."
However, the prince did not indicate whether he believed it or not, but just remained silent.
This made Chu Ci feel even more uncertain, so he could only cautiously ask, "Does the prince want to hear it?"
The prince still did not answer, and the silent atmosphere made Chu Ci feel even more uneasy.
Chu Ci quickly looked at Fan Jingrui beside him for help.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, the prince suddenly spoke, with a hint of doubt in his tone: "Why doesn't the princess say anything?"
Upon hearing this, Chu Ci secretly decided to stay away from the prince in the future, as this atmosphere would easily shorten his life.
I kept muttering to myself, trying my best to force a smile on my face.
"It's like this. One day, Xu Xian bought a hat for his wife. After Bai Suzhen put it on, she died because it was a duck (pressed) tongue (snake) hat. Hahahaha..."
After saying this, Chu Ci deliberately stared at the prince with a hint of expectation in his eyes, and added: "Your Highness, look, isn't this quite funny?"
Unexpectedly, the prince frowned and said, "What kind of hat is a peaked cap? Why have I never heard of it?"
Chu Ci: "No wonder the more you talk, the more mistakes you make. Isn't this a typical example of giving yourself up for dead?"
But now that things have come to this, he can only bite the bullet and say, "It's a hat shaped like a duckbill that I made for convenience."
"It is what you wear when you are working, to block the sun, wind and rain. Your status is noble, so it is normal that you have never heard of such common things among the people."
"Oh..." The prince seemed to be thinking about it, and after a while he slowly said, "I have heard before that Princess Yixin is very talented. After seeing her today, I think her wonderful ideas are also unique."
Chu Ci secretly complained: "If your eyes weren't so empty, she would believe it."
But, it's just acting, she is not afraid.
Thinking of this, Chu Ci hurriedly bowed.
With a modest smile on his face, he said sincerely, "Your Highness, you are too kind. I just have some new ideas occasionally. I don't deserve such praise."
Chu Ci and the prince were polite to each other.
General Ye, who was standing aside, was looking at the Thirty-Six Strategies in the prince's hand, feeling extremely anxious.
Could it be that the military book that has already been obtained is destined to be gone without return?
Thinking of this, General Ye became extremely anxious, and he didn't even care whether the prince had any taboos.
He took a quick step forward, clasped his fists, and cautiously said, "Prince, how about I take this copy of Thirty-Six Strategies back and copy it, and then I'll send it to you right away?"
Before the prince could respond, Fan Jingrui gently squeezed Chu Ci's palm.
Chu Ci instantly received Fan Jingrui's hint.
Although he was not sure why Fan Jingrui made such a gesture, he still stood up without hesitation and said with a sweet smile: "The Crown Prince also likes this book "Thirty-Six Strategies"? Why didn't you say so earlier!"
Chu Ci said as he searched carefully in his bag again...
After a while, he took out another almost identical copy of "Thirty-Six Strategies" and handed it to General Ye with a smile on his face: "No need to bother, here you go."
Prince:......
General Ye: ...
Ye Lin'er, who didn't dare to react at all, had a look of astonishment on his face.
Unexpectedly, the things they all thought were extremely precious seemed to be in large quantities in Chu Ci's hands, as if he could buy them wholesale, which really made them feel uncomfortable.
"This... this..." Ye Zhen stared at the Thirty-Six Strategies in Chu Ci's hand, his face full of disbelief. In the end, he couldn't help but ask, "Princess, do you like to copy books in your spare time?"
As soon as he said this, Ye Lin quickly took two steps back, his face full of embarrassment and helplessness.
If the situation allowed, he would have wanted to shout, "What General Ye? He doesn't know him."
Instead, it was Lieutenant General Luo who had not been able to get a word in before.
Hearing General Ye's speculation, his eyes sparkled and he came forward expectantly: "My Lady Princess, do you still have this book? If so, can you give me a copy, Lao Luo?"
As Deputy General Luo's words came out, everyone's eyes were fixed on Chu Ci.
Especially the Crown Prince, General Ye and his son, all of them were full of doubts at this moment.
They secretly speculated in their hearts: "Is there really more? If so, then what is the point of their previous performance and calculations?"
