General, the lady escaped again

Chapter 249: Prince Li Hong (3)

"I..." Li Hong opened his mouth, but had nothing to say.

"Arrange a room for me. I want to rest." Ji Xiaowu was too lazy to talk nonsense with him. She was very tired and wanted to rest.

"Come here, take the general's wife to the guest room and treat her well. Don't be negligent in the slightest." Li Hong called the servant and gave the order.

The butler respectfully asked Ji Xiaou to follow him. After settling Ji Xiaou down, the butler returned to the pavilion.

"Master, everything has been settled." The butler replied.

"Treat her well. Except for not allowing her to leave the villa, otherwise... don't restrict her too much." Li Hong ordered.

"Yes, master." The butler took the order and left.

Li Hong looked at the lake surface that was gleaming with golden light, and Ji Xiaomu's words kept replaying in his mind. Every word was as sharp as a blade piercing his heart, leaving him unable to refute a single word.

His original intention was to show goodwill and let Fang Chen work for him, but Fang Chen ignored him completely.

He wanted to invite Fang Chen to talk many times, but Fang Chen rejected him again and again and hurt his people and warned him.

He had no other choice, so he wanted to invite Ji Xiaou. He didn't want to become enemies with Fang Chen. He needed his soldiers, his strength, and his support.

But after listening to what Ji Xiaomu said, he suddenly felt that he had nothing, so what could he use to guarantee him? With the lessons learned from the past, how could Fang Chen trust someone from the royal family?

The crown prince has the power of the prime minister, the second prince has the support of his maternal family, but he... has no help from his maternal family, because his biological mother is just a maid serving the emperor, and she was lucky enough to be favored once and gave birth to him. His status and position are not as good as those of the crown prince and the second prince.

That's why he took another approach and thought of the once mighty general and his feared... Twelve Iron Riders.

What should he do to win over Fang Chen?

Ji Xiaowu was lying on the soft bed. Any item in the room would be a priceless treasure if placed outside. Sleeping in such a house, she missed her ordinary little house.

"I don't know when he will come to take me home..." Ji Xiaomu sighed. For the first time, she felt that she was so reluctant to leave that home.

She could sense that the Third Prince really had no intention of killing her, which was why she was so "audacious". After listening to the Third Prince's story about Fang Chen being framed by the royal family before, Ji Xiaou felt even more sorry for Fang Chen. She risked her life to work for such a person, only to be framed in the end. No wonder Fang Chen had no intention of leaving the royal family before.

Once he comes out of the mountains, he will face choices. No matter which one he chooses, it will not be a happy thing for him. It will just be another hell pit.

He just wants to use him to get the throne. Who knows if he will feel Fang Chen is a hindrance and want to "eliminate" him after he gets it?

The most difficult thing to guess is the human heart, and his assurances are worthless.

If she was just making a draft in her mind before, the appearance of Li Hong just dispelled her last bit of concern.

If you are going to fight for your life, why not fight for yourself?

They guard their own piece of land in this troubled times, do not take part in any fights, and just want to live their own lives in peace and quiet.

Ji Xiaowu closed her eyes and seemed to be sleeping, but her plan was constantly perfecting in her mind. She wanted their city to have a completely autonomous circulation and be self-sufficient even without help from the outside world.

Outside the door, the maid who had been waiting saw that Ji Xiaowu was really lying on the bed motionless and seemed to be really asleep, so she went back to report.
