The commander-in-chief is handsome and charming

When Jian Chenyan left the restaurant, the maid beside her handed a silver note directly to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper took the banknote in his hand and smiled so hard that his teeth were showing.

"Girl, walk slowly."

After sending the person out, he watched Jian Chenyan get on the carriage.

Then he turned back.

Cui Xiang, who was upstairs, was standing by the window and his eyes just happened to fall on the carriage.

Thinking of Jian Chenyan, he raised his hand and touched his chin.

He had seen many beautiful women.

But he didn't see many beautiful and intelligent women.

Regardless of whether what this woman said was true or false.

He was somewhat interested in her now.

The man stood by the window until Jian Chenyan's carriage disappeared around the corner.

Cui Xiangcai laughed softly.

He has opened several shops recently and the profits in various places are very good.

It really needs a little more fun.

This simple smoke,

It is very suitable.

He had a smile on his face, but Jian Chenyan in the carriage looked indifferent.

The maid beside her looked at Jian Chenyan sideways and asked, "What did the young lady say to Master Cui?"

"After I return, I will naturally report to the Major General." Jian Chenyan sat upright in the car.

He replied without looking away.

The maid beside him frowned.

However, thinking of Jian Chenyan's role, he didn't ask any further questions.

The carriage arrived at the posthouse and the maid jumped off first.

Then he turned around and helped Jian Chenyan, who had put on the veil, down.

The two of them entered the inn.

Siqi's people were already waiting in front of Jian Chenyan's room.

"Miss Jian, the Major General invites you!"

"Okay." Jian Chenyan nodded slightly and followed him very good-temperedly.

When they arrived at the small reception room of the inn, Siqi and Shaoan were sitting in the room.

When they saw her, they both looked over at almost the same time.

Shaoan's gaze fell on her, his eyes full of obsession.

It was not until Siqi coughed lightly that he retracted his gaze.

Jian Chenyan seemed not to notice his gaze.

After entering, he saluted to Siqi and said, "Major General."

"How?" Siqi went straight to the point.

"Mr. Cui agreed to take me in as his room only to avoid trouble. I'm afraid he will keep me outside." This sentence was said.

Siqi frowned.

But before he could say anything, Shaoan stood up and asked, "A concubine?"

These two words made Jian Chenyan lower his head immediately.

Siqi glanced at her prince cousin indifferently.

Shaoan continued, "If they can't marry, then why keep a weak woman like you here?"

"Shaoan!" Siqi's voice became a little louder.

Then Shaoan sat back unwillingly.

But his eyes were still on Jian Chenyan, showing his undisguised heartache.

Jian Chenyan felt his gaze and slightly turned her body.

"After what happened at the palace banquet, the young general should be able to guess that Master Cui is not someone who is easy to get along with."

"If it weren't for today,

"I'm afraid you won't let me stay."

Halfway through her words, Siqi paused with her eyes fixed on her face.

It's natural to think that Jian Chenyan might have some connection with Cui Xiang.

Shaoan on the side suddenly stood up and asked, "What did you say?"

His shout startled Jian Chenyan so much that her body trembled slightly.

His voice was trembling. "What the young general wants is for Cui Xiang to submit to the Southern Qi."

"Whether I was the principal wife or a concubine, what does it matter?"

"As long as we can get him to go to Nanqi, the Major General will naturally find a way to keep him here."

This statement is true.

It's a beauty trap.

As long as it works, that's fine.

Yesterday at the palace banquet, he still thought that Cui Xiang was an upright gentleman.

At the very least, he is just a young boy who knows nothing.

Today,

He just asked Jian Chenyan to take the initiative, and he was going to keep her outside.

With Jian Chenyan's ability, he might be able to get the person to Southern Qi in due time.

Think so.

Siqi nodded gently.

He took out a small porcelain bottle from his sleeve.

Place it directly on the table to one side.

"Here is a pill. I will have someone send you the antidote every month."

"If Cui Xiang cannot go to Southern Qi within a year, then... there is no need for you to keep him."

Siqi said this without any warmth.

Jian Chenyan's gaze paused on the porcelain bottle.

Shaoan on the side looked at Siqi in disbelief.

"You want to poison Miss Jane?"

Jian Chenyan's watery eyes turned red, and she looked at Siqi with a pitiful look.

however,

How could Siqi care about this?

He glanced at Shaoan, with a frosty look on his face.

The latter couldn't help but flinch.

Jian Chenyan looked at the porcelain bottle and knew that this was inevitable.

He moved over and held the porcelain bottle in his hand.

He looked at Siqi, then at Shaoan.

Open the bottle and pour out a small pill.

Looking at the pill rolling in his palm, he gritted his teeth and swallowed it.

"Don't worry, Major General!"

"Yeah!" Siqi saw her swallow the pill.

He smiled contentedly.

"When will Cui Xiang come to pick you up?"

"Mr. Cui, didn't say anything."

"He asked me to find a place to live by myself and tell him the address when the time comes." Jian Chenyan said with some embarrassment.

He lowered his head and twirled the corner of his clothes awkwardly.

Siqi's brows knitted tighter, and Jian Chenyan spoke again after a long while, "Mr. Cui said that houses in Kyoto are too expensive."

"Let me figure it out myself!"

Siqi: ...

Shaoan on the side finally couldn't bear it anymore.

He raised his hand and punched the coffee table.

"Siqi! Your Highness will take Miss Jian away today."

"If you dare to stop me, be careful that I will punish you for disrespect."

He shouted out his identity without any hesitation.

Jian Chenyan looked at him and was slightly stunned.

There wasn't much surprise in his eyes.

She came here with the marriage procession.

Naturally, I discovered the unusualness of Shaoan.

And she grew up in Southern Qi, so she was well aware of the relationships among these officials.

Almost immediately, he guessed that this Shaoan was the third prince of Southern Qi, Xu Shaoan.

However, she did not expect that this person could shout it out so directly.

This is Dongling.

But this is not her business.

Before Siqi could even speak, Jian Chenyan had already bowed respectfully and said, "Greetings, Your Highness."

"Don't worry, Miss Jian. I will never let you stay in Dongling." Xu Shaoan stretched out his hand to pull Jian Chenyan up.

As soon as he reached out, Siqi's hand had already grabbed his wrist.

"Your Highness, are you planning to die in Dongling?" He looked at Xu Shaoan with a serious gaze.

The strength in his hands increased a little.

The pain made Xu Shaoan scream out loud, "Siqi, you dare to attack me, are you trying to rebel?"

"Third Prince!" Siqi looked at Xu Shaoan with a grim face.

"I have no intention of rebelling, but there is no guarantee that Dongling will not keep His Highness here."

"Your Highness, how much silver and cities do you think you are worth in His Majesty's heart?"

His tone was so cold that Xu Shaoan shuddered.

Of course he knew.

He is worthless in the eyes of his father.
