So last time the princess gave the ladies a holiday, Chen Luoxue used the excuse that there were too many things at the base and frequent maritime trade, so she would not take a holiday or go home for the time being.

In fact, she knew very well what she would encounter when she returned home. Later it turned out that her thoughts were correct. None of the noble girls who returned home received good treatment from their families.

The first relative to congratulate her on becoming a female officer was actually Chen Xingyao.

Chen Luoxue said with red eyes: "Thank you!"

Chen Xingyao thought about it and said: "The northern nobles sued King Ling and took their noble ladies as concubines..."

Before he finished speaking, Chen Luoxue anxiously defended Prince Ling: "This is absolutely not the case! The prince only has the princess."

"We noble ladies came to Youzhou and were sent to Prince Ling's Mansion by our tribe. And we are not serving the prince, but following the orders of the princess."

"If you don't believe me, sir, you can call all the noble ladies in the city to ask."

Chen Xingyao sighed softly: "Of course I believe what you say."

He also asked King Ling about killing nobles and ransacking their homes.

Chen Luoxue didn't know much about this. She only knew about the noble families whose houses were confiscated by King Ling in Shanjin Prefecture. The young children in the family were about the same as Chen Fang.

They oppressed the people, confiscated their fertile land, and forced them to become tenants or to move away from home. He also committed murders and committed fraud to suppress the government.

In short, as far as Chen Luoxue's attitude is concerned, she feels that none of the people killed by King Ling deserve to die!

They are all even more hateful people than Chen Fang! Therefore, the princess only killed Chen Fang and did not pursue the Jeju Chen family.

Chen Xingyao was not surprised at all. Chen Luoxue had only been in Youzhou for half a year, but she still favored King Ling.

He asked with emotion: "Doesn't it feel strange to be around Princess Ling?"

Chen Luoxue's eyes suddenly brightened, and she glanced at Chen Xingyao in surprise. He actually knew this feeling?

"It's very strange. I don't know how to put it. Princess Ling has always used her status to suppress us. She trusts us and gives us enough freedom."

"Obviously the food, clothing, housing and transportation in Youzhou are much different, and there are no maids or slaves to serve you, but people who come to Youzhou don't want to leave again."

"Here, I am not Miss Chen, but a living person."

Chen Xingyao smiled, yes, that's the feeling. She obviously didn't say anything, but as long as she was around her for a long time, other places seemed so boring and rigid.

Even when he was in the Chang'an restricted area, he was still sick and had to help take care of seriously ill patients every day, but when he recalled that time, he didn't feel scary or disgusted at all.

So, here he comes.

Chen Xingyao made an agreement with Chen Luoxue to meet again in three days, and then he would visit Jeju and other places.

Chen Luoxue did not dare to tell him about the base. The princess said that the situation at the base should be kept hidden from the court, and she could not let the news leak out.

It seems that we can't return to the base for the time being, it will be three days later.

In the palace of Prince Ling in the city, Shen Dongsu was personally checking Jia Si's body, and Yue Jian was helping her, applying medicine and bandaging.

Yue Jian's hand, which was accustomed to holding a knife, obviously didn't have the strength to handle such a job. Jia Si, who didn't even make a sound when being whipped and slashed with a knife, was now sweating profusely.

Yue Jian's hand tightened slightly, and he made a silky inhalation sound.

Yue Jian was very angry: "What kind of silk? I asked the nurse to bandage you, but you didn't want to."

Shen Dongsu said hurriedly: "Please be gentle with your hands. His wound is inflamed and it is already very painful."

Jia Si glanced at Yue Jian with grievance, what a cruel woman! He didn't even say a word of comfort, and even deliberately hurt him by bandaging his wounds.

Tsukimi snorted and said: "He deserves it. Who asked him to lead only a small team to patrol! If this accident hadn't happened, we would have arrived at the base long ago."

Tsukimi couldn't tell what she was angry about. Anyway, she was very angry when she saw the injured Kosi.

I think Chen Fang's death was too cheap and he should be cut into pieces!

Jia Si said softly: "I'm sorry."

It's okay if he didn't say it. When he said this, Yue Jian became even more angry. After wrapping the gauze in his hand three or two times, he said angrily:

"Who are you sorry for? I'm sorry for the princess. I didn't have a good night's sleep for three days to save you."

"I'm sorry for your subordinates, who were captured with you! I'm sorry for those eight people, you couldn't save them."

"I'm sorry, my lord, you promised to protect the princess, but in the end you couldn't even protect yourself."

"You almost died, do you know..."

As Tsukimi was talking, he suddenly noticed that the princess and Jia Si were looking at her in surprise.

But her face actually became moist, and she reached out her hand to touch it with the same surprise, and it turned out to be tears.

she cried.

This is the first time Shen Dongsu has seen Yue Jian cry. The same goes for Jia Si. She can actually cry?

What is she crying for?

Yue Jian threw the medicine in his hand into Jia Si's arms and rushed out of the room.

Jia Si froze on the spot and murmured: "Why is she crying?"

Shen Dongsu sighed softly: "Of course I feel sorry for you."

"She, she will feel sorry for me? She is obviously scolding me."

Shen Dongsu smiled and said: "Every girl expresses concern in a different way. Yue Jian is usually reticent, but he has so much to say to you."

Jia Si said in confusion: "What should I do? Should I apologize to her again?"

Shen Dongsu suddenly found it very interesting, as if her own child had suddenly become enlightened and needed guidance from her as a parent.

"Don't go for now, wait for her to calm down, and you can recuperate first."

Jia Si lowered his head and pondered, Yue Jian's change made him feel flustered and a little bit happy at the same time.

She always treats me a little differently than she treats others.

But, will she look down on me because of this? Think I'm useless?

Seeing Princess Ling help him prepare the medicine calmly, Jiasi couldn't help but think back to the whole Chen Fang incident.

How would the superior person handle this matter?

Seize Chen Fang and take the opportunity to blackmail the Chen family; reduce the major issue to a trivial matter and take the opportunity to please the imperial envoy; use this matter as a breakthrough to integrate the northern gentry; secretly kill Chen Fang and instigate civil strife in the Chen family...

The above are the methods that the imperial court used to deal with the nobles over the years.

To kill the nobles so forcefully was in the eyes of the nobles an extremely barbaric and domineering way.

In addition to the fact that King Ling killed many small nobles with thunderous means last year, there is another one this time.

Princess Ling never considered negotiating peace with Chen from the beginning to the end, and killed Chen Fang without hesitation.

Not only must they kill, but they must kill with such fanfare that they mobilize troops and mobilize the masses. They even had to kill him in front of the Chen clan, leaving no room for maneuver.

He directly put a knife on the Chen clan's neck and asked, "Do you agree or not?"

If you agree, I'll kill you; if you don't agree, I'll kill you too!

Not to mention that Chen Hui and Chen Xingyao were confused at that time, many officials in Youzhou City were also confused. Princess Ling's methods were simply more domineering than the prince!

At this moment, Jiasi couldn't help but ask Shen Dongsu: "Hasn't the princess thought about negotiating peace with the Chen family?"

Shen Dongsu glanced at him: "What's there to discuss? Kill for life, it's the iron law of Youzhou."

"The prince has made laws, and naturally I, the princess, must fully implement them."
