Chapter 87 Secret Gaze

"If you can't meet the princess in person, how do you know if the person inside is actually a princess?"

Someone asked this question, Qin Tian looked over through the bead curtain, and could faintly see the appearance of the man who was speaking, who was nearly fifty years old.

young man.

Qin Tian remembered that his eldest brother said that Jiang Shan, the leader of the Nancheng Army, had three sons, among whom the youngest son was born in old age and had not yet reached the age of tying up his hair.

So the speaker and the young man beside him are Jiang Shan, the leader of the Nancheng Army, and his youngest son Jiang Mu.

Qin Tian stopped thinking and heard Sun Wenjing laugh.

"Chief Jiang is really interesting. Has the leader ever met the princess before?"

Jiang Shan said no, and Sun Wenjing laughed even more, "If you have never met the princess, even if you meet her this time, you won't be able to tell the truth from the false, right?"

"This" Jiang Shan was speechless, and for a moment he didn't think of how to answer.

At this time, Zhu Siwei said, "Mr. Sun doesn't really mean to invite a fake princess here, does he?"

Although it was just a question, the atmosphere in the hall instantly became tense.

The leaders of the three armies came here based on trust. If that person resorted to fraud and tried to deceive, the alliance would come to naught, and there might even be tensions here.

Zhang Shouyuan worked hard to facilitate this matter for a long time, and immediately called the two leaders.

"You two are really joking. I have also said that whether the princess is real or not, no one's eyes can tell. But the princess has something with her. If you are willing to give it to me and wait for a closer look, you will know the truth."

After he finished speaking, he went to the bead curtain and saluted, "I wonder if Your Highness can give me the treasure seal so that I can pay my respects to you?"

Everyone could faintly see the woman sitting high inside the bead curtain. She nodded calmly, with no emotion in her voice.

"allow."

Anyone who is trying to find something can only hear the power of alienation in this "yes".

Even if he lives among the people again, he is still of royal blood.

The hall became quiet, with only the crisp sound of the bead curtains clashing together, and then a maid came out holding a golden square box in her hands.

It is the private seal of the late prince, which cannot be found in the palace and is rumored to have been missing for many years.

The private seal was made of rare jade, carved by a famous artist. Regardless of the material used, the design, carving, or printed handwriting, it could not be easily faked.

The two leaders specially brought people who were good at this. After everyone saw it, there was not a single objection.

Qin Tian felt slightly relieved and relaxed a little when he heard Daozhang Zhang's voice, "How is it?"

As long as the private seal is authentic, it doesn't matter whether the princess is real or fake.

When Jiang Shan saw his appraiser nodding to him, he pursed his lips and was speechless.

Zhu Siwei sighed, "It's really a treasure seal."

As he spoke, he suddenly stood up and, together with his only son Zhu Hanchun, saluted inside the bead curtain.

"I am being reckless. Your Highness, please don't blame me."

His sudden salute and apology were not expected by Su Zhengjun.

For a moment, both Zhang Shouyuan and Sun Wenjing became nervous, fearing that the little girl in the bead curtain might respond inappropriately and show timidity. Zhang Shouyuan even gave Sun Wenjing a quick wink, signaling Sun Wenjing to speak on behalf of the princess.

But just when Sun Wenjing was about to speak, Mr. He also looked over and stopped him.

Sun Wenjing didn't move for a while, but he heard silence in the bead curtain, and then a voice came out.

“It’s normal to have doubts in your heart.”

These words were neither humble nor arrogant. They were just like Tai Chi hands, melting away the sudden tense situation without leaving any trace.

Sun Wenjing and Zhang Shouyuan were both stunned, while Mr. He smiled slightly.

Zhu Siwei, the leader of the General Advocate Army, said no more, "Thank you, Your Highness, for your understanding."

After saying that, he was stroked by his only son Zhu Hanchun and sat back in his seat.

Everyone couldn't help but look inside the bead curtain.

There is no movement in the wind inside the curtain, and the person above is as stable as a mountain.

But Qin Tian's hands were sweating.

She had never seen such a scene before, and had she never spoken in such a manner to a strange general who led thousands of troops?

But she didn't show any timidity. After saying that sentence, she noticed the approving gaze of Mr. He who was closest to the bead curtain.

Qin Tian couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and he also felt a little joy that belonged only to him.

But the next moment, he faintly noticed two eyes quietly falling on him from outside.

However, Zhu Siwei, who had taken his seat, had already dropped the topic just now and talked to everyone about the serious matter of the alliance between the three armies.

But those two glances did not retract because of this.

Qin Tian pursed his lips, trying to figure out who it was, but was blocked by the bead curtain and couldn't tell.

But there seemed to be an underlying feeling of stickiness in that gaze, which was wet and sticky and lingered on the bead curtain.

After a long while, it slowly slid away.

Everyone outside is talking about the alliance of the three armed forces, as if those sticky eyes are just an illusion.

Qin Tian frowned.

With the Princess of the East Palace on board, it will be much easier to talk about the alliance.

After talking like this at noon, Qin Tian was sent back to the courtyard where he stayed to rest by Sun Wenjing himself, while the leaders of the three armies continued to talk about the alliance.

At this point, what the princess has to do comes to an end for the time being.

This is the first time for the leaders of the three armies to meet here. Zhang Shouyuan has traveled back and forth countless times before. Everyone is now closely watched by the imperial army. If they do not join forces, they may be defeated one by one. Therefore, the intention to join forces this time is extremely urgent.

It's just that the interests of each of the three parties must be taken into account, and no one wants to suffer. Even if the Suzheng Army is willing to give in, it may not be easy to talk to the Guangsu Army and the Nancheng Army.

The secret conversation continued until evening.

As the sun set outside, Qin Tian knew that it was impossible to leave today, but Mr. He also asked someone to report to her. He said that the secret conversation had already begun. She would stay here tonight and finalize it tomorrow.

I can go back.

The leaders of the three major rebel armies in the world are all here. Once the news leaks out, the imperial court will kill all the leaders of the three parties and the princess Qin Tian, ​​and the rebel army will naturally disperse. Therefore, the three parties do not dare to stay too much, no matter in private

No matter how much I think about it, I hope to make the decision to leave as soon as possible.

Qin Tian does not have to participate in these military marches, but in the evening when everyone is invited to a banquet in the name of the princess, she must be present.

Nothing unexpected happened in the evening, everything went on smoothly, but inexplicably, Qin Tian seemed to notice those two sticky eyes from last night.

It's like a snake uttering long messages in the dark, but no one knows where this snake exists. Once a lantern is lit, it disappears under the light.

Qin Tian couldn't help but think of Zhu Jianying who was secretly following her when she first arrived at the academy.

The look in the darkness at this time was very similar to the feeling Zhu Jianying gave him at that time, but the difference was that the owner of this look was obviously more cunning than Zhu Jianying, like a snake, leaving no trace.

Qin Tian mentioned this to Sun Wenjing after the banquet.

The latter immediately asked the guards who were there that night, but no one saw anyone looking at the princess inside the bead curtain.

Qin Tian was not surprised, but Sun Wenjing also transferred some additional personnel from his own side to stay by the princess' side and obey her orders.

At night, while staying in a strange villa, Qin Tian opened his eyes and looked at the intricately carved top of the bed.

After the life in the small courtyard in Zhucheng ended, the days in Qingzhou were gone forever.

*

Qingzhou.

Mrs. Qin sat in an armchair in a daze, her eyes fell on the ground, her lips pursed and she said nothing.

Qin Guanzhong didn't know how to tell his wife a few days ago, and wanted to wait for her to feel better that day, but the person sent by his wife to Liefeng Shanfang to deliver Four Seasons clothes arrived. Qin Guanzhong knew that he could not wait any longer. Instead of being beaten by his wife herself,

If he found out, it would be better for him to say it himself.

"Jing Niang, I didn't mean it either."

Before he finished speaking, his wife suddenly raised her head.

"You think I don't deserve to know the truth, don't you?"

One sentence left Qin Guanzhong speechless.

But he still wanted to try to explain, but he heard his wife snort coldly.

"Are you going to say that because you are the surviving daughter of His Highness the Crown Prince, you dare not make the slightest mistake, so no one can say anything. Only you know that even if things in Zhucheng come up, you will be killed. That's you.

’s outhouse.”

Mrs. Qin covered her chest, "Even when I found Wan Ying's handwriting and doubted her identity, you refused to reveal a word of truth to me or Si Jin, saying that she was the orphan of Zhi Chen and Wan Ying.

, it’s so convincing, I really believe it.”

Recalling the successive changes in the identity of the little girl in her husband's mouth, Mrs. Qin actually wanted to laugh.
