Female Master: The Cold Prince

"Ran Qing?!!!" Chu Zhaoyang said in disbelief.

In his previous understanding, people who were generally called military advisors were always middle-aged women, or extremely tough women, and there was no way they could look like young women.

What's more, the woman looked no more than twenty years old. She was wearing a crescent-shaped white robe, had a pretty face, and exuded a gentle and elegant temperament. She didn't look like someone who could go to the battlefield to fight.

Seeing the shock on his friend's face at this moment, Wen Jueshang said that he could understand it very well. After all, he was also very shocked just now.

The woman didn't look like someone who could fight, but when he thought about it, he found it normal.

The best example is, isn't Prince Chen also a shocking existence? And the Shangguan Divine Doctor, who is not a young and outstanding-looking person, it seems that a person really cannot be judged by appearance.

After learning that the person who saved him was actually the military advisor of the dynasty, Chu Zhaoyang's heart started beating wildly. He never thought that there would be a day when he would fall in love.

"By the way, Zhao Yang, why did you suddenly fall off the bridge?" Wen Jueshang didn't notice anything unusual about the other party, but instead thought of everything that happened on the bridge today.

The people playing on the bridge today are all men from official families. At that time, someone said that there were mandarin ducks playing in the river, so everyone was curious and gathered together. The handrail of the bridge was not very high, so everyone was extremely careful when watching, for fear that they would fall into the river.

Hearing this, Chu Zhaoyang lowered his eyes and recalled what happened today.

He remembered that he was standing with Wen Jueshang at that time. Just when everyone was crowding to watch the mandarin ducks, he suddenly saw someone trying to take the opportunity to push Wen Jueshang into the river. Without thinking too much, when the man made a move, he hurriedly pushed Wen Jueshang away, but he was pushed off the high bridge by that man.

"You mean, someone wanted to push me at that time?" Wen Jueshang said with shock in his eyes. If that was the case, wouldn't Zhao Yang be suffering for him?

"Yes, that man is the son of a minor official. But why does he want to murder you?" Chu Zhaoyang couldn't help but frowned.

What happened today was truly dangerous. No matter who fell down, it was a matter of life and death.

At that time, there were only a group of men like them by the moat. If someone fell into the water, there would be no one to save him. Even if he was rescued by passers-by, his reputation would be ruined. Thinking of this, Chu Zhaoyang's face turned even paler.

Fortunately, he was lucky enough that Ran Qing saved him before the tragedy happened.

After Wen Jueshang learned the truth, his heart sank to the bottom of the valley. He couldn't help but think of the previous assassination. If it wasn't for Prince Chen, he would have died.

He didn't understand. He had never been at odds with anyone, nor had he ever framed anyone. Why did there always seem to be people who wanted to murder him?

----- Dividing Line -----

On this day, Xiahou Jiuyue returned to the mansion after the morning court as usual. At this moment, a secret guard suddenly came to report.

"Master, I received a secret report that Master Wen from the Prime Minister's Mansion disappeared last night. This morning, the wise king got the news and went out of the city to rescue him."

Hearing this, Xiahou Jiuyue was stunned. No wonder she didn't see Xiahou Nuanxi at the morning court today. It turned out that she had gone to save someone.

But, Wen Jueshang actually disappeared?

Thinking of the man who was as gentle as a spring breeze and looked like a banished immortal, Xiahou Jiuyue frowned slightly. Who on earth would actually set his sights on him?

"Has the Prime Minister's Mansion blocked the news?"

It is not a good thing for a man to disappear from his bedroom. Once the news gets out, his reputation will be ruined.

"The Prime Minister's Mansion blocked the news immediately, but for some reason, the news was reported to the Wise King." said the secret guard.

I don't know whether the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion reported the news of Master Wen's disappearance to King Xian intentionally or unintentionally.

Don’t they know how important the reputation of an unmarried man is?

No one would want to hear the news that their fiancé disappeared in the middle of the night, let alone the virtuous king. She was not afraid that the virtuous king would think too much after knowing it.

Xiahou Jiuyue's face darkened. "Let our people secretly help the Prime Minister's Mansion block the news. Immediately arrange for personnel to investigate who kidnapped Master Wen and where he was taken. Once there is any news, report it immediately."

"Yes." After receiving the order, the secret guard left the room and began to make arrangements.

Xiahou Jiuyue was left alone in the study room, deep in thought. Now in the court, there was a fierce competition between Prince Xian and Prince Duan for power, and they no longer had the harmonious relationship they used to have. This was all thanks to the Crown Princess' secret manipulation.

Wen Jueshang suddenly disappeared at this time. Could it be related to the court?

Or was this the work of the princess? Or was it a plot by Prince Duan?

If it was the work of the princess, why would she attack a weak man? Moreover, this is not like the princess's style of behavior.

But if it were Prince Duan, it would not be impossible. After all, the current Prince Duan can do anything.

She had kidnapped Wen Jueshang and then revealed the news to King Xian in order to make him leave the capital. She had used this method before.

In this way, once the virtuous king leaves the capital, the court officials who support the virtuous king will be dealt with one by one by Prince Duan who is in the capital. Not only that, this is also a good opportunity to get rid of the virtuous king.

After sorting out this idea, Xiahou Jiuyue felt a little worried. If Wen Jueshang really fell into Xiahou Yan's hands, he would probably be badly injured if he didn't die.

He was originally used to restrain the wise king, so what good thing could happen to him?

Thinking of this, Xiahou Jiuyue frowned slightly. To be honest, the alliance between Prince Xian and Prince Duan could collapse quickly thanks to her mother, the Queen.

At first, the Xian Wang and Duan Wang were able to form an alliance because of the Xian Wang's hatred for the Crown Princess and her father, as well as the rumors between the Crown Princess and Master Wen that had spread some time ago, which led to the Xian Wang holding a grudge against the Crown Princess.

And Feng Jun suppressed her father for many years, so that her father was not given the title until many years later.

When she thought about how she and her father had been living a precarious life in the palace, and now even the princess wanted to snatch away her beloved man, she could not tolerate this.

Taking all these factors into consideration, the fuse buried deep in the wise king's heart was instantly ignited, and the two formed an alliance.

But later, an arranged marriage completely cut off the wise king's desire to continue the alliance.

In recent days, the ministers who supported her had repeatedly reported to her the various faults of Prince Duan, which had made her want to quit.

Now, her mother's marriage arrangement has made her wish come true. She had never had the ambition to seize the throne, and her beloved is about to marry her. What else could she be dissatisfied with?

Now she only wants to marry her beloved as soon as possible, and then take her father to the fiefdom, away from the gossips in the capital, to be a free and easy prince and spend the rest of her life in the fiefdom.
