    A woman disguises herself as a prince and a man disguises himself as a concubine [Seventy Four]

    The next day, Ning Shuyao woke up with a start.

    In fact, it was not late, but it was slightly white. He rubbed his eyebrows, and his mind was still a little groggy.

    Why did I… last night?

    He pursed his lips and looked to the side. When he saw Li Xin leaning sideways, her breathing rising and falling gently, she seemed to be sleeping soundly, so he couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief.

    It’s probably because I’ve been too tired lately.

    Originally, he had made an agreement with Li Xin about today’s matters, asking her to stay away for the time being and take advantage of her illness to take another day off. Li Xin also agreed.

    Now, we can’t disturb her dream.

    Ning Shu Yao turned over and got out of bed very carefully. After thinking for a moment, he gently stroked her temples and said in a low voice:

    “Soon.”

    When the sound fell, he put down the bed curtains, picked up the cloak on the table, and hurried out.

    As soon as he left, the “sleeping” Li Xin instantly opened her eyes.

    She jumped out of bed, put on her clothes with a calm face, tied up her hair, and pulled out a small wooden box from under the bed, opened the lid, and inside lay a palm-sized crossbow, which was extremely delicate.

    If he had to die once, it would be better to let her do it herself.

    ————

    The warm sun is in the sky.

    The sun was particularly good today, making people feel warm all over without feeling the heat. The emperor became more interested and led his ministers to the depths of the forest.

    Concubine Ying followed far behind, with a faint smile on her lips, but her eyes were empty, wondering what she was thinking.

    The natural desire for conquest flows in the blood of men, especially the emperor. He galloped his horse, as if he had returned to the time when he was high-spirited, chasing the stag into the dense forest.

    Others did not dare to be careless and stepped forward to protect him.

    This all seems perfectly normal.

    About an hour later, Concubine Ying could no longer see them at all. She could only vaguely hear the whistling sound in the forest. She raised her eyebrows and winked at the people in the palace beside her.

    The palace people understood and quietly retreated.

    Li Xin watched the palace attendant leave, tightened the reins in her hands, clamped her legs under the horse’s belly, and walked towards her:

    “Mother concubine.”

    She said hello respectfully, with no unnecessary expression on her face.

    Concubine Ying glanced at her, covered her lips and smiled, with unspeakable meaning:

    “Do you really not care about the life or death of that boy from the Ning family?”

    Li Xin raised her chin slightly and said in an indifferent tone:

    “My mother-in-law is right, the great cause is the most important thing.”

    Concubine Ying heard this, but she only believed a third of it in her heart, so she tried and said:

    “If you really like it, you can do it if you want to be a good person.”

    As she spoke, she curled her lips and looked towards the dense forest.

    “His appearance is indeed top-notch. If you are young and flirty, my mother and concubine will not punish you.”

    Li Xin laughed:

    “Concubine, you still don’t believe me?”

    The two of them looked at each other as they spoke. One seemed gentle but aggressive, the other was calm but unyielding. In the flash of lightning, Concubine Ying withdrew her gaze:

    “In that case, it’s up to you.”

    Li Xin nodded gently.

    As time passed, the air around him began to become vaguely restless. A thin layer of sweat broke out in Li Xin’s palms, and all the nerves in his body became tense.

    How could she not bet?

    The horse under her hip seemed to feel something. It lowered its head and kept pawing the ground with its iron hooves. The horse’s tail swayed behind it and neighed from time to time.

    Concubine Ying was helped off the horse, and Li Xin also followed.

    “You have to think clearly. After what happened today, if you think about it again, you will be in an abyss.”

    The second before the smell of blood entered Li Xin’s nose, Concubine Ying came to her and whispered, her voice was extremely soft.
