Chapter 335: Bullying People is Not Good
The emperor continued sincerely, “There is another thing. I just wish to say that all of you are citizens of Nan Xia Country. All of you are fighting for Nan Xia Country, for your families, for your friends. I believe that you all will not be deceived by any kind of temptations, and that all of you will fight for the glory of Nan Xia Country.”
Those words were spoken clearly, but they could see there was a hint of fear in the emperor’s voice. The emperor was afraid, but afraid of what? Did he think that Ding Lin Country would offer them better treatment and keep them there to work? Ling Chuxi guessed that since the emperor had said such words, something like this had probably happened before.
“Emperor, please rest a.s.sured,” Ling Chuxi said decisively with a smile. It was a simple sentence, but it clearly showed her att.i.tude towards the matter.
Baili Han and Ling Yichen also agreed with her, and the emperor nodded in relief. He had sent people to check their backgrounds before this, and he believed that there would be no problems. Ling Chuxi had relatives she cared about in the Ling family and considering her relations.h.i.+p with the fifth princess, he was not worried that she would seek refuge in Ding Lin Country. Ling Yichen had always been by Ling Chuxi’s side, which meant that as long as Ling Chuxi did not leave, Ling Yichen would not either. Baili Han was even more so, since his father was the dean of Wind Cloud Academy.
The emperor was consoled by their att.i.tudes and arranged a special banquet for the three of them, wis.h.i.+ng them to obtain good results during the a.s.sessment compet.i.tion. The envoy would prepare everything for them, so they only needed to pack light.
The fifth princess naturally kicked up a fuss and wanted to go as well, but Consort Li was reluctant to allow her to. The fifth princess made so much noise that even Consort Li and the emperor could not deal with her. In the end, Ling Chuxi gave her a knock on the head and she turned obedient as she stared at Ling Chuxi with huge eyes, silently asking her to share the details of the compet.i.tion with her when she returned.
Seeing the fifth princess behaving so obediently, Consort Li wiped the sweat off her forehead. Only Ling Chuxi could cure this willful baby girl of hers.
The envoy together with Ling Chuxi’s group came up to over twenty people. After Ling Chuxi and the rest were given a few days to prepare, they started off on their journey. The emperor had them prepare well and everything was in order. Along the way, all the meals prepared were the best available.
“The weather is starting to get hot,” Ling Chuxi grumbled, pulling aside the curtain in the carriage so the wind could enter. Spring had ended quickly and in the blink of an eye, the hot summer was here. Nan Xia Country’s spring and autumn seasons were very short.
“It is a little hot indeed.” Ling Yichen nodded and poured a cup of water for Ling Chuxi. “Drink some water first.”
“One will feel cool naturally when one’s heart is calm,” Baili Han spoke slowly from his seat, his eyes closed.
Ling Chuxi turned to glance at Baili Han and the corners of her lips curved into a naughty smile. She smirked as she said slowly and clearly: “Baili Han, did I mention that Lan Xinyu and I have showered together before? Her figure is really great, you know. Her chest is quite ample, and her b.u.t.t is rather toned…”
Before she could finish, Baili Han’s face was already turning red and two stream of blood were flowing from his nose.
“One will feel cool naturally when one’s heart is calm. Baili, what nonsense are you thinking about? Even your forehead is sweating.”
Baili Han quietly turned away and wiped off his nose bleed, not daring to say another word.
Ling Yichen just watched the scene in amus.e.m.e.nt. Chuxi really enjoyed bullying people too much, he really pitied Baili Han.
At that moment, the envoy sent someone to ask if they would like to rest in the teahouse up ahead. Ling Chuxi was feeling so hot that she was a little dizzy and naturally agreed in a heartbeat. However, she never thought that it would bring them trouble instead.
