The Legend of the Concubine in the Harem

After taking the medicine, Lu Baohui felt that she had a lot of strength again. She sent the jockey away and did the scout work herself, riding the horse to the scorched earth that seemed to have just been ravaged by war.

The air was still filled with a strong smell of blood.

She could smell human blood.

Not too fresh, but also didn't seem to have been spilled for too long.

A gust of wind mixed with dust blew over, and even through the face towel, Lu Baohui couldn't help coughing twice.

The city gates were still closed, and the defenses on the city walls were not tight, with only a few figures walking back and forth.

Lu Baohui thought for a moment, then dismounted, grabbed a handful of dirt mixed with human blood, and considered it carefully - had this place really experienced an extremely brutal war, and could traces of broken limbs and flying blood be found in any part of the land?

She took off the short knife from her waist and dug a few more times from where she was grabbing the soil.

If this place had really experienced a brutal war, then it would be consistent with Lu Baohui's idea of ​​the most favorable situation for herself.

She was looking forward to Princess Rong Le from the capital and Lu Weiyuan who came from the south fighting each other to consume their strength so that she could briefly experience the feeling of bullying a little sister.

She did not think that Princess Rong Le would win, but after the war, Lu Weiyuan, who suffered heavy losses, did not realize that his relationship with the frontier cavalry was not that strong. After all, Lu Baohui, or Princess Shou'an, had stepped forward to save her parents in times of crisis. Logically speaking, this was the time when Lu Baohui had the highest reputation and was most capable of competing.

But...Princess Yuyi cannot judge with common sense, and Lu Baohui is very clear about this. However, what she knows even more clearly is that even though her little sister is lively and lively, very few people around her can keep up with her. After all, most of them are ordinary people, and those ordinary people will be confused by her own merits and reputation, and help her to achieve that wish.

Because you have nothing, you need to understand the principle of taking advantage of the situation.

Lu Baohui paused, not because she couldn't dig any more, but because the soil beneath the ground here was... too new.

The surface had been burned, trampled, and stained with human blood, but...the traces of war only stopped at about four or five inches, and the soil underneath was clean and unaffected by human disputes.

Realizing something, Lu Baohui stood up, led the horse to another distant direction, and started digging the soil again. She repeated this process over and over again until the sky became brighter. The sentinels standing on the city walls of the capital had already discovered this strangely behaving "scout" and began to draw their bowstrings, pointing their arrows at her.

Having verified her idea, Lu Baohui clapped her dusty hands, mounted her horse, and ignored the cold light on the city wall. Instead, she slowly walked to the battered city gate, took off her leather helmet, tore off her face scarf, and shouted into the gate, "Let Lu Weiyuan come out to see me!!!"

The sentry on duty behind the door was stunned.

Immediately.

He heard the woman's voice outside getting louder and louder, and she seemed very angry: "Shou An followed the orders of my father, the emperor, and my mother, the queen, to rush to the capital to help put down the rebellion. It's a pity that I came a step too late and was unable to help my sister. Now that the rebellion in the capital has been put down, please ask His Highness Yuyi to come out of the city and talk to me, your late sister!!!"

................................................... ................................................... .................................................

"Did she really say that?" The cheerfulness on Lu Weiyuan's face suddenly fell. "I thought that the light was not good this early in the morning, and Fourth Sister was so anxious to compete with me that she would not be able to see that it was a man-made stage."

I didn't want her to see through it anyway.

"Perhaps it's because the subordinates were careless?" Xie Yi waved his folding fan with the word "闲" on it to comfort him. "Yuanjun's idea is good, but it's such a large area that there are bound to be omissions. The Fourth Prince has been smart and studious since he was young, so it's not surprising that she saw through it."

"It seems that Fourth Sister has learned a lot from this trip to the border. If it were in the past, she would not have been able to see it. She is weak and cannot withstand the blood and energy. She has not even been to the Ministry of Justice many times. How can she know what a battlefield looks like where so many people have died?" Lu Weiyuan was not depressed for long. She shook her head, stood up and was about to go out to keep the appointment with Lu Baohui. When she reached the door, she stopped and turned to look at her brother who was following behind her.

Thank you for making her look stunned: "?"

"This is a matter between us girls. Brother, you'd better not go. I'm afraid that Fourth Sister is shy and thin-skinned."

Xie Yi: "...I still don't know what she's thinking, I'm worried, if you feel it's inappropriate, I'll change my skirt and go over again?"

Lu Weiyuan pouted: "Actually, I'm shy and don't want to say it out loud. It's because the stage I arranged was dismantled for the first time. I feel uncomfortable and timid. Brother, you should go and play cards with grandma and the others."

"That's why I was worried. But now seeing you like this, I feel relieved." Xie Yi bowed to his sister, then left gracefully, fanning himself.

Lu Weiyuan snorted softly and said to the female official who was laughing beside him, "Sooner or later, he will give up his broken fan. It's so cold, but he's still fanning himself. Aren't you afraid of the cold?"

She hummed a song and took a few steps briskly, then remembered that she was no longer the little girl who could pretend to be cute and deceive people, so she changed her gait to be very similar to her brother's, elegant and graceful without any sense of restraint of etiquette, but every step she took had the effect of others taking ten or a hundred steps.

This is what it means to shrink the distance into an inch.

Lu Weiyuan was dressed in fluttering red clothes, and her figure flashed quickly on the palace road, like a ghost, from the inner palace to outside the palace, and then to the top of the city wall.

She came quickly and silently.

The general guarding the city only felt a red shadow passing quickly in front of his eyes, and in the blink of an eye, he saw the back of Princess Yuyi standing in front of him.

He saluted quickly: "I pay my respects to Your Highness..."

"No need to be polite." Lu Weiyuan looked outside the city wall, then turned back and said to the guard, "Open the door. If you don't open the door, Fourth Sister will be angry."

The guard didn't understand why, but he didn't dare to disobey the order: "Yes!"
