The concubine pretends to be obedient, the sinister prince's favorite

Chapter 151 The Crazy Feeling of Breaking the Jar

"You two!"

Jiang Li and Yan Yu immediately retracted their outstretched feet, and their whole bodies remained motionless as if someone had pressed acupuncture points on them.

Jiang Li closed her eyes, a look of regret on her face.

No way, am I so unlucky?

It was discovered before it even started moving?

"Yes, just the two of you. Put down the buckets and follow me to catch the guy!"

"Yes!"

Jiang Li: ?

Aren't they both?

They hid on the other side of the tent, and soon they heard a burst of orderly footsteps. Soon, two soldiers came into their sight.

Jiang Li and Yan Yu both breathed a sigh of relief, and their tense bodies relaxed.

"Everyone was busy putting out the fire, and the woman in the Crown Prince's tent took advantage of the chaos to escape. She's probably not far away. Go find her now, no matter the cost. Otherwise, if His Royal Highness blames us, we won't have a good ending!"

"Yes!"

When Jiang Li heard someone mention her, she stuck her head out to take a look.

Sure enough, she found that the guard who was talking was the one who helped her go to the small kitchen to get food.

Knowing that they were going to catch her, the girl pulled her collar higher, covering half of her face.

They actually noticed I was missing so quickly...

When Yan Yu saw the three guards turned and left, he quietly gestured to Jiang Li.

The girl nodded in understanding, and the next second she stretched out her foot and stepped out.

"Crack-"

"hiss……"

The crisp sound of a dry branch breaking was followed by the girl's extremely slight gasp.

“Who’s there?!”

Jiang Li closed her eyes in despair, her brows furrowed, and she wanted to die a thousand times.

Why do you always fail at the critical moment?

Yan Yu was also desperate, so he raised his hand and grasped the hilt of the sword at his waist, ready to draw it out and fight at any time.

The three guards became alert when they received no response.

"Who is there? Come out now!"

As the guard shouted, the hidden blade on Jiang Li's wrist was ready to strike.

"It's me. I accidentally stepped on a leaf."

A sudden clear male voice came from the side. Jiang Li and Yan Yu turned around in surprise, and the next second they saw the familiar dark blue figure.

Li Junlin did not turn his head to look at them, but instead blocked the two of them with his entire body.

The man's deep eyes were fixed on the guards opposite him, and the strong pressure emanating from his body prevented them from moving forward.

"So it's the eldest prince of Beichen. Have you finished talking with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

The guard looked at Li Junlin with some concern. If His Royal Highness returned to the tent now, he would definitely find that the woman had escaped. How would he explain himself then?

"Well, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't see the woman who performed the dance today, and he's furious right now. What are you guys still standing there for? Why don't you go find her?"

"Yes! I'll go find it right away!"

The three guards were like being chased by dogs, fearing that if they were a step late in finding Jiang Li, they would make the prince furious.

Li Junlin slowly turned around only after he could no longer see their figures.

The sharp phoenix eyes fell on Jiang Li without blinking, without much surprise, but with a hint of smile.

"You are really brave."

"Did you set the fire in the granary?"

As Li Junlin spoke, he also raised his foot and moved closer to the girl.

Seeing this, Yan Yu frowned and wanted to step forward to stand in front of Jiang Li.

He had not forgotten how the princess had been bewitched by the eldest prince and had lost her mind. Now that she and the prince had finally achieved a happy ending, he would never allow the eldest prince to ruin their relationship again!

Looking at the annoying person who suddenly appeared in front of him, Li Junlin's thin lips curled up slightly, but the smile did not reach his eyes. His expression was so cold as if he was stared at by a poisonous snake, which made people feel creepy.

A hint of vigilance flashed across Jiang Li's eyes. She was well aware of this man's sinister methods and was afraid that he might do something bad to Yan Yu, so she quickly reached out and pulled him behind her.

Seeing this, Li Junlin suddenly chuckled.

Unexpectedly, she was so protective of a dog around Li Jinyuan.

Jiang Li met his gaze without avoiding it. The man's burning eyes made her realize that he might have recognized her from the beginning, but he just didn't expose her.

Then why did he let her know about his collusion with Ying Chi without any hesitation?

Did he really think she was such an insignificant person that even if she knew, she couldn't do anything to him...

"I am brave, and the prince is no less brave."

The girl's voice was soft, but she looked at Li Junlin without fear.

"Now that Southern Xinjiang and Beichen are at war, you dare to openly come to the enemy's territory and collude with them. Isn't this behavior treasonous?"

"The emperor is guilty of the same crime as the common people. Aren't you afraid that the emperor will find out and deprive you of your chance to compete for the throne?"

Hearing Jiang Li's words, Li Junlin was not panicked, but laughed softly.

Looking at this fair and beautiful face in front of me, sometimes I think she is very smart, and sometimes I think she is stupid and cute.

"If the truth is revealed, then this king will naturally not be obsessed with the position of Crown Prince."

The man suddenly leaned down, and his evil and handsome face approached the girl directly, with his thin lips slightly curled, like a ghost from the underworld.

Jiang Li's pupils trembled, not knowing whether she was frightened by his actions or surprised by his words.

He, he actually wanted to usurp the throne!?

"Lili, you'd better leave quickly. Ying Chi has learned that the granary was burned and is furious. It won't be long before he finds out about you."

"But I have to say, your move really hurt most of the vitality of Southern Xinjiang."

Li Junlin was too close, and the girl's sticky fragrance kept entering his nose, stimulating him so much that his breathing became heavy.

"Li Jinyuan is so lucky to have you helping him solve his problems."

There was a hint of jealousy in Li Junlin's tone. Whether it was the famine in Changzhou or the granary fire this time, Jiang Li stood by him regardless of her life.

Thinking back to the girl's previous pretense of being dumb and clueless in front of him, he really doubted whether she was really in love with him...

Otherwise, why would she hide her intelligence in front of me...

"Thank you, Your Highness, for saving my life this time. However, I will still tell Li Jinyuan the truth about your collusion with the Crown Prince of Southern Xinjiang."

Jiang Li calmly distanced herself from Li Junlin, and there was really no trace of reluctance in her cold tone.

Li Junlin laughed again.

In the short quarter of an hour he spent with Jiang Li, he had used up all the bitter smiles in his life.

"It doesn't matter. Since I dare to come here, I must have thought of a foolproof method."

"It all depends on whether Lili has the ability to bring this king down..."

Li Junlin raised the corners of his eyes, and Jiang Li couldn't help but clench her back teeth when she saw him.

For some reason, she didn't see a trace of fear in his eyes, but instead a mad feeling of wanting to break the jar and throw it all away...
