Chapter 271 Ulihan: Help Me
Meanwhile, in the other tent...
A woman with snow-white skin and a slender figure sat on the couch, wearing a silver-gray wolf-skin cloak, looking displeased.
Two escorting envoys stood before her, the two most inconspicuous members of the Northern Wilderness group during the day.
One of the envoys had thick calluses on his hands and stood upright, clearly a military general; while the other had an extremely large head and his eyes always gleamed with shrewdness, like a scholar.
It is clear that these are two strategists, one skilled in literature and the other in military affairs, a treatment that even Nauribu had never received.
Seeing that Qiqige looked displeased, the military officer guessed that she was angry that the nineteenth prince had disobeyed her and acted against her earlier, so he began to speak up for her.
"Your Highness, that Ulihan is ungrateful and dares to disobey you. Does he still think this is the Northern Wilderness? Humph! Even if it were the Northern Wilderness, he probably wouldn't have a place here anymore. Why don't we take this opportunity to teach him a lesson!"
Qiqige frowned even more. She felt quite helpless about this simple-minded general, but since he was loyal enough, she didn't dwell on the details.
“General Gongbu, this nineteenth brother has been arrogant and domineering for many years. If he were to behave himself today, it would probably be a bad thing. Anyway, he won’t be able to cause trouble for long. This princess is not going to waste her breath on a dying man.”
Although she said she didn't mind, a sinister glint flashed in Qiqige's eyes, but it quickly disappeared.
The military officer, referred to as General Gongbu, scratched his head and said:
"It was my recklessness, but that Ulihan has bullied you quite a bit in the Northern Wilderness. You are weak, and if it weren't for His Majesty's secret protection, the consequences would have been..."
The scholar beside him gently waved his folding fan and spoke with a smile:
"General Gongbu, His Highness has his own plans. We are here only to protect His Highness."
As for Your Highness's concerns, they must be about how to successfully arrange a marriage with the Crown Princess. This Fengming is no ordinary person; we must proceed with caution."
Qiqige nodded slightly, a hint of approval flashing in her eyes: "Teacher is right, Fengming is indeed full of hidden talents, no wonder my eldest sister suffered a loss."
"How can that fool Nauribu compare to Your Highness? You were personally taught by His Majesty since childhood. I'm sure the Queen never imagined that his years of favor were just to shield Your Highness and the Attendant from disaster, along with his two children..." Gongbu blurted out without restraint.
Seeing that she was getting more and more excited, Qiqige interrupted her sharply: "Gonpo! The walls have ears!"
"Your Highness, please calm your anger. This humble general knows his mistake." Gongbu immediately knelt on one knee, but in his heart he thought that Qiqige was too cowardly. How could there be anyone so late at night?
Qiqige shook her head, sighed inwardly, and said, "You can go now."
Gongbu Zhihao got up and left, glancing around as he went, muttering to himself: "There's no one here!"
Little did she know that not long after she left, a burly, tall figure emerged from the grass behind the tent, his large, copper-bell-sized eyes filled with murderous intent as he peered through the tent at the people speaking inside.
This person is none other than Ulihan!
Inside the tent.
Qiqige was talking to the scholar about the secret medicine given by the Queen of the Northern Wilderness, which could keep the poison in place until they left Fengming territory before it took effect. In this way, they could completely frame Fengming for the death of Wulihan.
Outside, Ulihan's eyes were bloodshot with rage, his fists clenched tightly like sandbags.
Although he harbored doubts about his mother and felt that her attitude towards Qige was not as cold as it seemed, he never expected that she would be so resolute and unhesitating in sacrificing herself to pave the way for him!
Ulihan stood silently outside, not daring to make a sound, until the sky began to lighten and the scribe left. Only then did he slowly lift his stiff legs and take a step in a certain direction.
As soon as Lin Shu opened her eyes, she met Xiao Ansi's flushed face and big, dark eyes. The little dumpling pursed her lips and said softly, somewhat embarrassed, "Mom! Shh."
Upon hearing this, Lin Shu finally understood why Xiao Ansi's face had turned red; it turned out she was holding her pee.
Thinking of this, Lin Shu smiled slightly, helped An Si get dressed, and then took her to the woods to relieve herself. After An Si finished, Lin Shu was about to help her pull up her pants when a burly man suddenly appeared in front of them.
The little girl was startled, and then her face instantly turned bright red, all the way down to her neck. She quickly pulled up her pants, stood beside Lin Shu's legs with a serious expression and her lips pursed. Her little hands tightly gripped the hem of Lin Shu's clothes, and she glared angrily at the big guy in front of her—Ulihan.
Ulihan then noticed a chubby, fair-skinned baby on the ground, resembling an adorable white steamed bun, which was quite endearing; compared to the sturdy mud babies of their Northern Wilderness, this baby was even more adorable.
So, intending to show friendliness, he raised an eyebrow at Ansi, glared at her, and gave her a wide, menacing grin.
Xiao Ansi, who had been clutching Lin Shu's clothes, unconsciously changed her grip and hugged her thigh tightly.
Lin Shu: "..."
"What is it, Nineteenth Prince?" Lin Shu turned slightly to the side, gently patted Xiao Ansi's soft head, and asked in a slow voice.
Ulihan's smile faded, and he looked down at Lin Shu with a solemn expression: "Qiqige wants to kill me, attempting to frame Princess Fengming."
Lin Shu hadn't expected that this seemingly dim-witted Ulihan would be able to see through this matter. She had originally intended to find him herself, but since he had come to her of his own accord, she decided to listen to his insightful opinion.
"Oh? What is the meaning behind the Nineteenth Prince informing me of this matter?"
“Help me,” Ulihan said matter-of-factly.
Lin Shu raised an eyebrow slightly, her face showing just the right amount of doubt, and then asked, "Since they want to frame Her Highness the Crown Princess, why don't you seek her help?"
“I was unaware of their scheme until last night, so I deliberately contradicted Qiqige and said I wanted to marry you. If I were to approach the Crown Princess now, it would be too obvious and arouse suspicion,” Ulihan replied methodically.
Lin Shu admired his wisdom and asked, "I wonder what the Nineteenth Prince intends to do?"
Ulihan narrowed his eyes, a hint of killing intent in his voice:
"Use his way and give back to him!"
