Chapter 410 The Imperial Concubine is Pure and Elegant (One Hundred and Sixty)

Cui Li stood under the peach tree, thinking about Prince Ping, who had been doing nothing for more than twenty years, and whose methods behind the scenes were so cruel.

In the previous life, the eldest prince of Qi continued his father's style after he came to the throne. He held the throne tightly, fearing that someone would assassinate him. He was very suspicious. At that time, Prince Ping was still pretending to be a quail. Later, when the eldest prince implemented a tyranny, Prince Ping did not dare to show up.

After Liang conquered Qi, he became the eldest prince of the Qi Emperor. The enraged people hung his head on the city wall and opened the gates to welcome the Liang army. However, Prince Ping survived and was granted a title by Liang Sheng as a token of the emperor's great favor.

Unexpectedly, he seized the opportunity to turn things around in this life, so King Ping was not without ambition, but he could endure it.

King Ping finally became emperor, so he wouldn't let Liang gradually encroach on Qi and dethrone him. While he was dealing with internal troubles, he might even provoke a war to take the initiative.

The strength of Liang State has made Ji and Qi States feel uneasy and they want to suppress Liang State.

The attack of Qi on Liang was not a cause for concern. The only concern was that Liang would be attacked from both sides and Ji would take the opportunity to cause chaos.

I guess Liang Sheng has been discussing countermeasures with the ministers these days and is temporarily unable to come to Baiyun to see her.

It's not that she couldn't live without him, but she was also worried that Liang would rashly go to war with Qi without sufficient preparation.

After all, Liang had just recovered its lost territory, and the army needed to be repaired, the recaptured cities needed to be re-governed, and the many spies of Qi needed to be eliminated. Otherwise, if the city that had just been recaptured suddenly changed hands while the battle was going on, the Liang army would be attacked from both sides, which would be a disaster.

I heard that Ji Jiuyuan has already set out from the border and is galloping back to meet His Majesty. He may arrive in a few days. Currently, the border between Qi and Liang is guarded by General Ji.

Cui Li knew that Ji Mingjie was not the type to sit and wait for death. She guessed that Ji Mingjie must want to cooperate with Qi State.

I just don’t know whether Ji and Qi will form an alliance, and when they will take action after the alliance.

Cui Li thought about the arrangements made by Liang Sheng years ago and felt relieved. Liang State had many generals to use, sufficient food and grass, strong soldiers and horses, and was not afraid of enemy attacks.

Cui Li's thoughts drifted back to the blossoming peach trees. Cui Yun was plucking petals. The girl was excitedly preparing to make peach blossom cakes and brew a few jars of peach blossom wine. She said that when the young master grew up, he would be able to taste her wine.

Cai Shuang was standing one meter away, also holding a basket filled with mushrooms, which she was going to take home to make soup. Occasionally, she would chat with Cui Li and Cui Yun.

Suddenly Cui Li stopped walking. She keenly sensed something was wrong. Danger was approaching, getting closer and closer to her.

Cai Shuang had martial arts skills, but Cui Yun didn't. Cui Li was afraid that Cui Yun might get hurt, so she said to her as if nothing had happened, "Cui Yun, I'm a little cold. Can you please get me a cloak?"

Cuiyun was a little hesitant.

"Sister Cuiyun, please go quickly and come back soon. I, Caishuang, am here with the master."

Cuiyun couldn't stand Cui Li's repeated urging, and with Cai Shuang there, she replied, "Master, please wait for me here, I will be back soon."

After saying that, Cuiyun put down the flower basket and hurried back.

Cai Shuang stood in front of Cui Li and frowned, saying, "My Lady, someone is coming. We should leave as soon as possible."

"Well, be careful. If there's any danger, leave first. The people who come here probably won't kill me directly."

Cai Shuang shook her head. How could a secret guard abandon her master and flee? Her pride wouldn't allow her to escape, either. As the sound approached, she suddenly threw the basket back, blocking the incoming sword.

Cai Shuang looked back and saw a strange man with no visible eyes. There was a very strange smell on his body, like medicine and blood. This man was very dangerous.

Cai Shuang made a quick decision and immediately took out a flare, ready to notify others. Suddenly, her hand felt a pain, and a dagger pierced through her palm, and the flare fell to the ground.

"My Lady, please go first. Cai Shuang, stop him."
