Chapter 37 Princess, are you trapped?

Chapter 37 Princess, are you trapped?

Bai Yuji widened her eyes. She had never expected the new plan to be like this.

She had heard of Yali.

Starting with Yali is indeed the best choice to sow discord between the Qin Palace and the evil officials.

but……

Boys and girls?

Lucky beads?
Her eyes gradually darkened: "Great Elder, in our revenge, have we reached the point where we can use children and pregnant women?"

He Xifeng was a little surprised: "Princess! These children and pregnant women are all from the Central Plains. Nanzhao was destroyed because of the Central Plains people. This is just a small price for them to atone for their sins. Is this not acceptable?"

"A small price?"

Bai Yuji was filled with shock and confusion: "Since when have these costs been borne by innocent children and pregnant women? Even the cruel Qian Kingdom didn't kill children and pregnant women when they massacred us, right? How can we be righteous and have any sense of shame if we do this?"

He Xifeng became emotional after hearing this: "Propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame? We are just the Nanzhao people whose country was destroyed. In the face of national hatred and family feuds, do we still have to be disciplined by the false benevolence and false righteousness of these Central Plains people?

Princess, let me ask you, where did those children and pregnant women who were not killed go?

Can they survive without men?

Do you still remember how many corpses were lying on both sides of the road during your escape?

And those children who were captured by them were raised to kill our exiled Nanzhao compatriots!
Just because they didn't kill the person themselves, can't the crime be attributed to them?"

"Great Elder, stop talking!"

"The princess is also kind-hearted."

"This happened suddenly, so we need to give the princess time to react."

Several other elders stepped forward to act as peacemakers.

But it brought even greater shock to Bai Yuji.

She almost doubted her ears: "Everyone, do you all agree with this approach?"

All the elders looked at each other.

Think for a long time.

The third elder stepped forward and said, "Princess! You grew up in the imperial court and read books written by people from the Central Plains. We understand that you can't accept it for a while. But when it comes to hatred for the extinction of a race, how can there be any talk of good and evil and morality?

The people of the Central Plains always talk about benevolence and righteousness, but was it benevolence and righteousness or the sword that destroyed Nanzhao?"

The fourth elder also echoed, "Yes, Princess! You don't have to put the blame on us. You should know that it was not us who enjoyed the children and pregnant women in the Central Plains, but the son of Yali.

It was not us who treated the children and pregnant women in the Central Plains as commodities, but their own princess.

Do you still remember the flower boat of the prime minister’s son?
Women were reduced to playthings, and pregnant women were no exception.

Even if we don't take action, this kind of thing will not disappear.

The people in the Central Plains don't care themselves, so why should we use their ignorant benevolence to punish ourselves?

Besides, what have we done?
We just told Qin Yanying what happened!
What did we do wrong?

Bai Yuji: "..."

She admitted that most of what the elders said was correct.

In this link, the ones who are least responsible are the survivors of Nanzhao.

But is it reasonable to sacrifice innocent children and pregnant women?
Is it really true that I don’t understand them just because I received education in Central Plains?
Seeing her silence, He Xifeng softened her tone, "Princess! This is a great opportunity for us in Nanzhao to turn things around. Think about our compatriots who are still hiding in the mountains and forests and eating insects to fill their stomachs. If we miss this opportunity, how many more years will they have to wait? How many more people will die in so many years?
I have been a pregnant woman and have taken care of children. How could it not be uncomfortable to do such things?

But all my children died in that war.

I fled with my pregnant daughter-in-law, but due to the chaos and war, I couldn't keep the child.

Later she married another man. When I went home two years ago, she came to see me.

With a small child.

I asked her if the child was with her new man, and she said she couldn't have any more children, and that the child was from her neighbors. The neighbor couple fell off the mountain while picking herbs and died, so they took the child home to raise him.

The child was very thin, but looked very smart. When I saw him, I felt like I saw my own grandson.

I, I don’t know what I said, Princess, can you understand what I mean?”

Talking and talking.

I was already crying and couldn't speak.

Bai Yuji's eye sockets were shallow, and tears welled up in the corners of her eyes. After struggling for a long time, she gritted her teeth and said, "I don't object to this plan, but the purpose of the plan is just to provoke conflicts between the Qin family and the demon officials. Children and pregnant women are just the instigators. My bottom line is to try my best to protect the safety of children and pregnant women before the Qin family arrives!"

"But the princess..."

"listen to me!"

"..."

He Xifeng hesitated for a moment, but still nodded heavily: "Okay! No problem! But Princess, I still need you to say a few words to Qin Yanying..."

Bai Yuji felt inexplicably guilty, but she could no longer find any reason to object, so she could only nod and say, "Don't worry!"

Seeing that Bai Yuji didn't dwell on the issue anymore, all the elders showed relieved expressions.

at this time.

He Xifeng suddenly asked: "By the way, Princess, after the Puppet Conference, Luo Qing suddenly found me and said a lot of excited words. In front of the gate of Zhennan Mansion, were you and Qin..."

She didn't continue talking, seeming a little cautious.

In front of the gate of Zhennan Prefecture?

Bai Yuji thought for a moment and said, "Did he tell you that Qin Muye and I had a real relationship?"

He Xifeng whispered, "I don't believe him, I just asked the princess."

Bai Yuji felt annoyed for no reason and waved his hand, saying, "Grand Elder, are you trying to remind me not to get too close to Qin Muye?" "I don't dare!"

"Since you want to control Qin Muye, you naturally need to make some gestures. He is already infatuated and even proposed to marry me yesterday. Do you think this little sacrifice is worth it?"

“It’s worth it!”

He Xifeng bowed respectfully, but still said in a low voice: "But Princess, you still have to be careful!"

"What are you careful about?"

"Be careful not to be deceived by Qin Muye."

"He lied to me?"

"This person has a cowardly and twisted personality, but he is actually extremely sensitive. Just looking at the way he blackmailed Shen Jin, you can tell that he is quite treacherous, and his control over the situation and human nature far exceeds that of his peers.

The last time the princess came back, she said that he did not have a good relationship with his father and even harbored resentment.

Although after verification, there are basically no errors.

But the more I think about it, the more I feel something is not right. Could it be that he saw that Princess is soft-hearted and does this on purpose?"

"This shouldn't be..."

Bai Yuji subconsciously wanted to refute.

He Xifeng interrupted, "Princess! Does he often show weakness to you?"

Bai Yuji: "..."

She suddenly shuddered.

This is indeed the case.

Although she felt that Qin Muye was more like being truly fragile.

But the reason why the Nanzhao survivors have been able to survive until now is largely due to the great elder’s ability to judge people.

Could it be that he really...

Seeing her silence, He Xifeng's tone became even lower: "I just want to remind the princess not to fall into the trap of the treacherous people and trap yourself.

Judging from Qin Muye's performance, he might have such an intention.

If this is true, he would drag the Qin family into the water in order to save his life.

Such a cold-hearted person must be extremely cold-blooded.

Of course, the princess is smart and will be on guard against him at all times."

Bai Yuji felt very upset and could only nod and say, "Don't worry, I know what to do."

……

Late at night.

But Qin Muye hadn't fallen asleep yet.

Just now, I was immersively controlling the puppet and talking with Li Xingluo about the future of Qian Kingdom in the Princess's Mansion.

He still did not express too many inclinations, but only emphasized one sentence: The reason why the ministers of Qian State had differences on the issue of the demon officials was because the military force was not strong enough. As long as the human race's military force was sufficient to crush a number of vassal states and foreign demons, all problems would disappear. The key to increasing military strength lies in the innovation of military equipment.

Li Xingluo agreed with the first half of the sentence and had reservations about the second half, but he still readily assured that Qin Muye could fully display his talents and that he would do his best to support him as long as he could.

Qin Muye did not continue to make empty promises. After all, he had "The Silk Puller" and "The Craftsman's Heart", and had also learned from Gongshu's family. He had many clever ideas in his mind, but they had not been put into practice yet, and he did not have the confidence to brag.

After a long chat, the purpose has been achieved. Princess Di's political inclination is indeed to abolish corrupt officials. Even as for today's rumors, her attitude is to let it go.

"call!"

Qin Muye breathed a sigh of relief. No matter from the perspective of fate or standpoint, he had to hold on to this thigh tightly.

but……

He sat up in bed.

Just now he tried the fate skill "Wrong Path", thinking of Bai Yuji in his head, and took a step towards her room. As a result, he immediately had a wrong feeling, and then he had an idea: his goal was in the southeast.

When he opened the window, he saw that Bai Yuji was not in the room.

The hideout of the Nanzhao survivors is in the southeast direction?

There seems to be a ghost market somewhere...

Qin Muye was a little annoyed. Those people were like resentful spirits. Every time Bai Yuji came back, they would add a lot of negative energy.

He cursed and climbed over the window.

"Oh!"

"Oh!"

At the same moment, another figure climbed in from another window.

The two looked at each other.

"Are you waiting for me again?"

"I can't sleep, I want to chat with you."

"Why are you climbing through the window? Can't you knock on the door?"

"I'm afraid you won't give it to me."

"..."

Bai Yuji felt confused for a moment when she saw his cautious and expectant look.

Can this really be acted out?
