However, judging from Ji Shuisheng’s clothes, he was a poor man of the Great Xia Kingdom. His status was not worthy of her n.o.ble daughter, so the Empress changed her way of repaying him.
“What reward do you want?”
“This lowly one is a businessman. Now that the Tartan Kingdom is attacking Mo City, they will kill any Han people they see. This lowly one is terrified and wants a waist token to protect my life so I won’t have to worry about my life when doing business.”
Ji Shuisheng didn’t mention entering and leaving Tartan. This Empress wasn’t as simple as Saiya and looked quite shrewd.
It would arouse her suspicion if he directly mentioned that he wanted to enter and leave Tartan at will. Therefore, Ji Shuisheng only said he wanted a life-saving waist token for his safety.
If the Tartan soldiers saw the waist token given by the queen, they would let it pa.s.s. At that time, wouldn’t they be able to enter and leave Tartan freely?
The waist token could not be given out easily. If he was a spy of the Great Xia Kingdom, he could use this waist token to stir up trouble. The Empress did not answer immediately.
“The Empress is in trouble. The First Prince has led his troops to surround the Second Prince’s palace.”
Two guards rushed into the palace and reported to the Empress anxiously.
“Eldest Prince, do you dare?”
The Empress flew into a rage when she heard this. She slammed her palm on the table. Her beautiful face was filled with anger, and her eyes were filled with sharpness. Her aura immediately changed from gentle and n.o.ble to fierce and threatening.
“Saiya, go and inform your uncle. Tell him to bring his troops to the rescue quickly.”
The Empress ordered her daughter to call her father and brother to bring troops to help. She also put on a cloak and hurried out of the palace.
“Follow me to the Second Prince’s palace.”
The royal family also had royal guards. These people were only loyal to the Emperor and Empress. No one else could command them.
The Empress was also a hero among women. She had once accompanied the old Emperor on the battlefield, so the Emperor had granted her special permission to command the Royal Guards.
Ji Shuisheng hadn’t expected the two of them to start fighting before he could even move. This was a pleasant surprise.
“Du Juan, take Ji Gongzi to my yurt to rest first. I will go and inform him.”
The matter was urgent, and Saiya couldn’t care less about Ji Shuisheng. She held the horsewhip in her hand as she spoke and walked out.
“Princess.”
Ji Shuisheng called out to Saiya. Saiya turned to look at him, and Ji Shuisheng said to her,
“A few days ago, my friend went missing while doing business in Tartan. This one is here to look for him. Princess, please give me a waist token to find my friend.”
“Here.”
Saiya was in a hurry to leave and was not on guard against Ji Shuisheng. She threw the waist token that allowed him to enter and leave Tacheng to Ji Shuisheng freely.
“This waist token belongs to the royal family. Seeing it is like seeing a member of the royal family. No one in Tartan dares to stop you.”
Saiya’s eyes were filled with pride. Ji Shuisheng cupped his fists at her and thanked her,
“Thank you, Princess.”
“I’m leaving.”
Saiya glanced at Ji Shuisheng.
“It’s an emergency. I can’t help you find your friend.”
“Thank you. I also want a set of clothes to avoid trouble.”
Ji Shuisheng nodded to express his understanding and asked Saiya for a set of Tartan clothes. Saiya immediately arranged for someone to help him get his clothes and hurriedly left.
The guard brought Ji Shuisheng to the side hall of the palace and handed him a blue robe and a headscarf. The clothes were all made of silk, and a golden belt was at the waist. It was very imposing.
Ji Shuisheng changed his clothes and immediately transformed from a wild man full of martial arts to a n.o.ble son.
He had Saiya’s waist token, so when he was stopped, he would take it out and leave the Empress’s palace smoothly.
The First Prince had used his army to surround the Second Prince’s camp. The people of Tacheng did not know what was going on. No one dared to watch. They were so scared that they hurried home.
The Empress took the royal guards to save her son. The streets were full of Tartan soldiers. Judging from their clothes, they were not a group.
It was difficult for Ji Shuisheng to find Su Qing on this chaotic street. He was anxious and wanted to find her as soon as possible.
Besides, Su Qing had already eaten a roasted lamb leg, which was not enough. She asked for another roasted lamb chop. The guards looked at her with anger. Did this kid think she was a boss?
How can a skinny person eat so much? Is a lamb leg not enough, and he wants lamb chops?
However, they had no choice. After all, he had won the Second Prince’s favor. They held back their anger and went to roast lamb for Su Qing.
Su Qing leaned against the wall of the yurt. She bent one knee and extended one leg. Her posture was lazy and comfortable.
This lamb chop was for Xiao Qi. The meat was tight, and only a stack of chives was needed. The mutton of Tartan was fragrant. It was very fragrant without anything else.
This was because good ingredients did not need seasoning to add fragrance. The original taste was the best.
The guard angrily barged into the yurt and saw Su Qing’s resentful gaze. Su Qing noticed that there was something wrong with his gaze and asked him coldly,
“What are you looking at?”
“Who exactly are you? The First Prince has surrounded us and asked the Second Prince for you.”
The guards hated Su Qing to death. Initially, the First and Second Princes were not on good terms, but they would not fall out with each other. However, the moment this kid came, the First Prince and the Second Prince started fighting.
The First Prince was ruthless. If the Second Prince were defeated, the soldiers who protected the Second Prince would suffer a tragic end.
“Oh!”
Su Qing hadn’t expected the First Prince to arrive so quickly. However, this was interesting. Once the First Prince and the Second Prince fought, they wouldn’t have the time to invade Mo City.
Su Qing and Ji Shuisheng had the same thought.
“Oh, what? You’re a pest.”
The guards wanted to capture Su Qing and hand her over to the First Prince, but they didn’t dare to do so without the Second Prince’s permission.
“You want to send me to ask for a reward?”
Su Qing raised her eyebrows and looked at him coldly. She could see the fear of death in his eyes. It turned out that the Tartan soldiers were not fearless. The First Prince had not even made a move, and he was already so scared that he wanted to surrender.
“You don’t have to be arrogant. The Second Prince won’t go to war with the First Prince because of you. Just wait for the First Prince to dig out your heart and eat it!”
The guard cursed Su Qing fiercely, wondering why the Second Prince refused to hand her over.
In front of the Second Prince’s camp, the First Prince was riding on a black Mongolia horse. He was wearing a black cloak and a black hat. His entire person was as gloomy and dark as his clothes.
The Second Prince rode a date-red horse draped in a sapphire blue cloak. He glared at his eldest brother and did not yield an inch.
“Second brother, hand him over. He’s an a.s.sa.s.sin, and it’ll be dangerous for him to stay in your camp.”
When Ye Lui Heng saw that his younger brother was willing to go against him to protect the spy who had been eavesdropping, he became even more suspicious that the spy knew his unspeakable secret. He insisted that his younger brother hand over Su Qing, but the First Prince’s determination to obtain Su Qing made the Second Prince even more confident that the First Prince wanted to a.s.sa.s.sinate him.
Of course, Ye Lui Heng’s request for Su Qing could not be fulfilled. The Second Prince, who had understood, answered directly,
“I’ve already killed him.”
“Killed? What about the corpse? 1 want to see him dead.”
When he heard his brother say that he had killed Su Qing, Ye Lui Heng did not believe him. He wanted the corpse after the person died. In short, he would not retreat until he saw the person today.
“I fed it to my lion.”
The Second Prince saw that his big brother was determined to kill Su Qing and felt that his big brother was afraid that his a.s.sa.s.sination plot would be exposed. He could not give this person to him no matter what. When his father woke up, he would settle the score with his big brother..
