The Pretty Wife of General Jinxiu Huanian

Chapter 90 The Prince's Enlistment

That day, Yunxi was busy sorting through the piles of medical books in the mansion. Her hands kept turning the yellowed volumes, and beads of sweat hung on her forehead.

Suddenly, there was a noise outside. Yunxi paused, put down the book in his hand, stood up and walked out.

As soon as she reached the courtyard, she saw the prince striding in with a dark face. Yunxi's heart skipped a beat and she hurried to meet him, staring at the prince intently, and asked anxiously, "Prince, what's going on?"

The prince glanced at her and sighed heavily: "The prince sent someone to invite me to his house to have a chat."

Yunxi's brows immediately furrowed, as if they could pinch a fly to death, and she said, "The prince suddenly invited you out of nowhere. I'm afraid he has some bad intentions."

The prince nodded, his face solemn: "I also understand in my heart that this trip will probably be a difficult situation to deal with."

Yunxi's face was filled with worry, her eyes almost blazing with anger. She said, "Then Your Majesty, please be more careful."

The prince patted her hand, as if to reassure her: "Don't worry, I know what to do."

After saying that, the prince turned around and walked into the house. After a while, he changed into more solemn clothes and walked out with big strides. Following behind him were several followers. The group hurried to the prince's mansion.

Soon, the prince changed his clothes and went to the prince's palace with his entourage.

Outside the Prince's residence, security was tight. Seeing the Prince arrive, the guard at the door quickly straightened his back, saluted respectfully, and shouted in a loud voice, "Prince, please come in."

The prince glanced at the guards, nodded slightly, and walked into the mansion with steady steps.

The courtyard was filled with rare flowers, colorful flowers competing with each other in beauty, and the fragrance of flowers went straight into people's noses.

The prince had no intention of appreciating the flowers, and just glanced at them.

Crossing the courtyard, we arrived at the main hall. The prince was sitting in the main seat, dressed in gorgeous clothes. The golden dragon embroidered on the clothes was so lifelike that it seemed as if it could fly out at any moment.

The prince had a smile on his face, but that smile seemed fake no matter how you looked at it, and his eyes held something incomprehensible.

"Your Highness, you are finally here." The prince stood up to greet him, his steps quick and hurried, the smile on his face deepened a little, he looked like he had met a relative whom he had not seen for a long time.

The prince bowed and said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner, "Greetings, Your Highness."

The prince hurriedly said, "Your Highness, there is no need to be so polite. Please take a seat." As he spoke, he personally extended his hand to gesture for the prince to take a seat.

As soon as the two of them sat down, the maids brought them tea and snacks. The teacups were exquisite, and the snacks were also small and exquisite.

The prince looked at the prince without blinking, and said slowly: "Prince, the situation in the court is turbulent now. I am sure you have heard about it."

The prince picked up the teacup, blew gently on the tea leaves floating on it, and replied calmly, "Your Highness is absolutely right."

Seeing the prince's attitude, the prince felt anxious and could not help but move closer to the prince and said in a low voice: "This prince wants to accomplish something great, and I hope the prince can lend me a hand."

When the prince heard this, his expression froze, his hand unconsciously tightened around the teacup, and he asked, "Why do you say that, Your Highness?"

The prince smiled, but that smile was a little stiff, and said: "Your Highness, you have made great military achievements and have great prestige in the court.

If you can join forces with me, the world will be ours sooner or later."

The prince frowned, his eyebrows twisted into a knot, and said in a serious tone: "My prince, please be careful with your words. Such treasonous words must never be spoken again."

The prince's expression changed slightly, and the smile disappeared in an instant. His face was so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out.

But then he smiled again: "Your Highness, don't be so nervous. In this situation, who doesn't want to have a good future for themselves?"

The prince stood up and bowed, saying, "Your Highness, I am loyal to His Majesty and have no second thoughts. I hope Your Highness will not mention this matter again."

The prince was seen with a frown on his face, staring at the prince with his bright eyes. His gaze was firm and serious, as if he could see through people's hearts.

The prince's face instantly darkened: "Your Highness, you must think carefully and don't miss this opportunity."

The prince narrowed his eyes and turned down the corners of his mouth. He looked like a ferocious wolf, ready to pounce at any time.

The prince said in a firm tone: "Your Highness, I have made up my mind." The prince straightened his back, with his hands behind his back. His posture was like a strong pine tree that could not be blown down by the wind or bent by the rain.

After saying this, the prince turned around and was about to leave.

The prince slammed the table angrily and said, "Your Highness, you rejected me today, don't regret it later." The prince's face turned red, veins popped out on his forehead, his eyes were wide open, and he looked as if he wanted to eat someone.

The prince walked out of the prince's mansion without looking back. Along the way, the prince's face was solemn and his steps were hurried.

The stone pavement under his feet seemed to feel his anger and made a "thump thump" sound.

After returning to the Marquis' Mansion, Yunxi hurriedly came forward: "Prince, how is it?" Yunxi's face was full of anxiety, his brows were wrinkled into the shape of a "川" character, and the handkerchief in his hand was clenched tightly.

The prince snorted coldly: "This prince really has evil intentions and actually wants to win me over for rebellion." The prince's face was full of anger, his cheeks were clenched tightly, and his hands were clenched into fists.

Yunxi breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, the prince remains loyal and righteous." A smile appeared on Yunxi's face, and he reached out and patted his chest gently.

The prince said, "But I'm afraid this prince won't let it go." The prince paced back and forth, his brows still furrowed.

Yunxi held the prince's hand: "No matter what, I will face it with you." There was determination in Yunxi's eyes, as if telling the prince not to worry too much about it.

Over the next few days, suspicious individuals were seen lingering outside the Marquis's residence. Standing on a high platform within the residence, the prince watched these furtive figures from afar, his expression growing increasingly gloomy.

On this day, Yunxi went out to deliver medicine to the poor people. She was wearing plain clothes and a simple silver hairpin in her hair.

She had a gentle face and was holding a basket full of medicinal herbs.

Not far from the gate, she felt someone following her. She remained calm and quickened her pace.

When I reached a corner, I turned around suddenly and saw a man in black who couldn't dodge in time.

Yunxi shouted, "Who are you? Why are you following me?"

The man in black froze, but without a word, he turned and ran away. Yunxi wouldn't let him get away so easily, so she lifted her skirt and quickly chased after him.

Although Yunxi is a woman, she has a strong step and a light body.

However, when they chased him into a winding alley, the man in black disappeared without a trace like a loach.

Yunxi frowned and looked around, feeling a vague sense of unease. The alley was deep and dark, and the moss on the walls looked eerie in the faint moonlight.

She didn't dare to stay any longer and hurried to the Marquis' Mansion. Along the way, Yunxi's heart beat violently and her steps became more and more hurried.

After returning to the Marquis' Mansion, Yunxi went straight to the Prince's residence. At this time, the Prince was sitting at the table, his brows furrowed, as if he was thinking about something.

Yunxi didn't even bother to catch her breath and said anxiously, "Your Highness, something bad has happened. I went out to the street to deliver medicine to the poor people, and was followed by a man in black. He chased me into an alley and lost me."

Upon hearing this, the prince stood up suddenly, his eyes wide open, and said, "It seems that this prince is going to attack us."

Yunxi also nodded, his expression serious: "Your Highness, we must take precautions early."

The prince's face was solemn, and he paced back and forth in the room. After a moment, he said, "I have sent people to strengthen the guard of the Marquis' Mansion."

That night, the mansion was completely silent. The chirping of insects was especially clear. The moon hung high in the sky, though occasionally obscured by dark clouds.

Suddenly, a burst of shouting and killing broke the peace.

"Kill!"

The prince and Yunxi woke up from their sleep, and all sleepiness disappeared in an instant.

"Your Highness, something bad has happened! There's an assassin!" The butler stumbled and ran over in a panic, his face full of fear.

The prince's eyes flashed, and he quickly drew his sword from the bedside and shouted, "Follow me to see."

When I arrived at the front yard, I saw a group of men in black holding sharp blades, fighting with the guards in the mansion.

There was a cacophony of flashing swords, shouting, and the sound of weapons clashing.

The prince shouted, "Who are you? How dare you break into the Marquis's mansion at night?"

The men in black seemed to have heard nothing and continued to attack regardless.

The prince gritted his teeth and rushed into the battle circle. The sword in the prince's hand flew up and down, the sword wind was sharp, and each move was aimed at the vital points of the man in black.

Yunxi watched anxiously from the side, clutching the corners of his clothes tightly with both hands, silently praying in her heart that the prince was safe.

She didn't dare to take her eyes off the prince for a moment, and her heart was in her throat.

The prince fought more and more bravely, and his moves became more and more brutal. The men in black gradually found it difficult to resist and began to retreat.

After a fierce battle, the men in black gradually lost the upper hand and began to retreat.

The prince ordered: "Send people to chase them and make sure to find out their origins."

The prince's brows were furrowed, his eyes were wide open, and he looked as if he could spit fire. His clenched fists were crackling.

His splendid clothes looked a little disheveled, and his expression was frighteningly gloomy. Yunxi, standing beside him, quickly replied, "Don't worry, Your Highness. I'll arrange for the staff right away."

As she spoke, Yunxi walked out quickly, her steps hurried and her clothes fluttering.

The servants in the mansion were also nervous, whispering among themselves. Yunxi quickly gathered a few capable guards and sternly said, "You must thoroughly investigate the details of those men in black. No mistakes!"

The guards answered in unison, "Yes!" and rushed out like arrows.

Yunxi turned back to the prince and said softly, "Prince, please calm down first. Don't let your anger get to your health."

The prince snorted and said, "How dare these scoundrels cause trouble in my mansion? They will definitely pay the price!"

At this time, the butler came forward and said cautiously: "Your Highness, this matter is probably not that simple. Maybe there is someone behind this."

The prince glared at the butler and said, "I know what's going on!"

After this incident, everyone in the Marquis' Mansion was in panic.

Yunxi comforted everyone: "Don't be afraid, as long as we work together, we will be able to overcome the difficulties."

At this time, in the prince's mansion.

When the prince learned that the assassination had failed, he became furious: "What a bunch of useless people, they can't even do such a small thing." The prince paced back and forth in the room angrily and kicked over the stool next to him.

The counselor beside him said, "Prince, calm down. If this doesn't work, there will be another time." The prince gritted his teeth and said, "I just don't believe I can't defeat him."

In the Marquis' Mansion, the Prince and Yunxi knew that a bigger storm was coming.
