Chapter 223 You are still lying to me at this time!
Seeing that they still looked unwilling to talk, Feiying's eyes turned and another plan came to her mind.
"You don't agree, right? Then you can take back this country by yourselves!"
She said this in a sharp voice, stood up, threw away her sleeves, and walked past them out.
They became anxious when they saw this.
Since the restoration of their country, they have been using the title of the only orphan of the Ziyang royal family and the crown princess.
Without her, their national restoration movement would have become a joke. The entire operation would have no justification and would have seriously affected the morale of the soldiers.
"Your Highness, wait a minute!"
"I will tell you everything that happened inside in detail."
Hearing this, Feiying paused and raised the corners of her mouth slightly.
She has lived for more than a hundred years, and she still can't control them?
She turned around and sat back down in her seat: "Speak now. If you tell a lie, you will bear the consequences yourself."
After they looked at each other, a minister finally stepped forward and revealed everything that had happened behind the scenes.
As Feiying listened, she couldn't help but stand up from her chair and asked in disbelief.
"You said that Qiu Mubai told you the location of the food from time to time, telling you when and where the troops escorting the food were the most vulnerable and the most suitable for robbing? How dare you, how long are you going to deceive me? You still don't tell the truth even now?"
Her words made the ministers tremble, and they all said, "Your Highness, we dare not speak nonsense anymore. Every word we say is the truth!"
Feiying has been living a life of luxury in the base for a long time, and has acquired some of the demeanor of a superior.
"Really? Then tell me, Qiu Mubai, the third prince of the Golden Crow Kingdom, why would he help the enemy country to restore its sovereignty?"
"We don't know about this either. But that day Qiu Mubai suddenly found us one by one and gathered us together. He said he would help us restore our country and also said that Your Highness is currently living in his house."
"After that, with his help, we gathered more and more people."
"Until the eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival, he sent someone to find us and worked with us to come up with a plan on how to take you out of his hands without anyone noticing during the Mid-Autumn Festival."
"He also specifically told us several times not to tell you about his involvement in this matter, but..."
"I understand. No need to say more."
Feiying is feeling very complicated right now.
She really never thought that he was involved in Zi Yang's plan to restore the country.
The problem is, even though he dragged me to be with him almost every day, I never saw him do these things, not even the slightest clue.
She thought for a long time but couldn't come up with a leader.
Forget it. It’s useless to care about how he did it now.
But she was still curious, why did he help her?
The thought that she had once before popped into her mind again.
No, she had to go and confirm it in person. No matter how confused he pretended to be, she had to get his formal answer this time.
"Help me figure out a solution tonight. I'm going to go into the city to find Qiu Mubai and ask him about this."
"Your Highness, no!"
"It is too dangerous for you to show up at this time! It is like a wolf walking into a tiger's mouth!"
Feiying heard something wrong in what they said again.
"What happened in Jinwu recently?"
"Your Highness, don't get excited if we tell you."
"explain."
"It is now widely rumored in the Imperial City of Jinwu that since the Crown Princess of Ziyang escaped from the Third Prince's side, the Third Prince's condition, which had just improved, has deteriorated drastically. He has been bedridden in the palace for some time now, and the imperial doctors are helpless."
"The Emperor of the Golden Crow Kingdom is furious about this and is hunting you down across the country."
The more the ministers spoke, the quieter their voices became.
Feiying finally understood the current situation. If she couldn't discover the truth, wouldn't she be kept in the dark until she broke the illusion?
But even so, she still had to ask clearly, this was very important.
"Even so, just help me disguise myself. I'm just going to meet Qiu Mubai under the cover of night. Being careful won't cause any big waves."
"Your Highness!"
"Stop, don't try to persuade me anymore. If you don't agree, I will continue my hunger strike."
After making a difficult decision, the ministers chose to remain silent.
After Feiying finally had her first meal in three days, she entered the city in the evening under the arrangement of her subordinates, but they did not dare to go to Qiu Mubai's mansion until it was completely dark.
Arriving at the back of the mansion, the high wall of red and green tiles that had been trapping Feiying was now easily jumped over by a general with superb martial arts, who landed steadily on the ground without making any sound.
After entering the mansion, Feiying was naturally familiar with the road.
They followed her all the way to Qiu Mubai's bedroom.
When they reached the door, Feiying heard a coughing sound coming from nowhere. She asked them to stand guard outside and she went in alone.
She didn't even knock on the door, she just pushed it open and walked in.
Qiu Mubai, who was lying on the bed and still coughing, was obviously very surprised to see her appear.
He used his arms to prop himself up.
"Little tree spirit, you are already here, why are you here?"
"Qiu Mubai, no, I should call you Xiao Di, how long do you want to tease me?"
Qiu Mubai listened to Feiying's questioning and looked confused.
"Little tree spirit, what are you talking about? Why are you talking about the flute again? Didn't I already give you one? Do you want a flute? I'll find you another one someday."
Feiying took a deep breath, took a few steps forward and grabbed his collar with her hand.
"Xiao Di, at this time, are you still playing dumb with me?"
"You think it's fun to lie to me like this, don't you?"
Qiu Mubai was as calm and composed as ever.
"Little tree spirit, please let go first. You are strangling me so hard that I can't breathe. What do you want to say? Let's sit down and talk slowly."
"I won't let you go unless you admit that you are Xiao Di!"
"Little tree elf, you..."
"It's already come to this, don't argue with me, I won't believe anything you say!"
"If you were not Xiao Di, why did you call me a little tree spirit when we first met? And you even gave me a nice name and made up a story about it."
"If you were not Xiao Di, why would you, the third prince of the Jinwu Kingdom, secretly help Ziyang restore his country!"
"And why did you save me? And you kept me by your side. You were ordering me to do this and that, but in fact you were doing it to protect me, right?"
Feiying spoke excitedly, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably, her voice becoming hoarse.
"Tell me, you've done so much for me. There can't be any other reason other than you're Xiao Di!"
"Little tree spirit, I..."
Qiu Mubai didn't know how to reply to her for a moment.
At this moment, outside the room, there was a sudden sound of fighting.
Immediately afterwards, Qiu Mubai's door was pushed open, and a group of people dressed as guards rushed in with knives.
Then there was another undisguised sneer: "Haha, you knew that this prince had specially arranged people to ambush around this mansion. It was not in vain. Finally, I have waited for you to come."
"Hurry up and let go of my third brother. Stay away from him. Maybe I can leave you with an intact body."
