C318 Suspicion

Marshal Xiahou had already entered, and coincidentally walked opposite Du Jinse.

"Who are these two?" The people around Marshal Xiahou said in alarm.

"They were sent by the Prince Mo’s Manor's Queen." Ding Ding replied.

When the Marshal Xiahou heard this, he smiled and nodded towards Du Jinse and the others, "Since it's already curfew time outside, if you do not wish to rest here, you can wait for me.

Du Jinse immediately waved her hand, "I won't trouble Marshal Xiahou then."

Marshal Xiahou's eyes flashed, "You've seen this marshal before?"

Du Jinse shook her head, "I've never seen it before."

"Then how do you know which one This Field Marshal is?"

He specially traveled in plain clothes, originally to reduce the trouble.

After being exposed by Du Jinse's words, his originally relaxed mind became vigilant.

Du Jinse was speechless. She had naturally seen the Marshal Xiahou before, but she couldn't say it now.

"Marshal Xiahou has been through many battles and has a solemn aura about him, which this uncle does not have."

Marshal Xiahou looked up and down at Du Jinse.

"Who's at the border, who hasn't killed a person before? Your reason is a bit too far-fetched."

Du Jinse secretly complained, how could she not know that Marshal Xiahou was such a suspicious person?

"Not everyone possesses the bearing of a commander-in-chief looking down on the world." Du Jinse said.

"You're still so young, how did you learn to read words?" The Marshal Xiahou continued to chase relentlessly.

Du Jinse did not speak anymore, there were many mistakes in her words, if she continued, it was hard to guarantee that the Marshal Xiahou would not see through it.

Seeing this, the Marshal Xiahou smiled but did not speak.

"Say hello to the two of them, I'm going to meet your master."

Ding Ding said apologetically, "Marshal Xiahou, the imperial physician just showed this to my Duke. His Royal Highness was poisoned by the arrow today, and although the poison was sucked out in time, the remaining poison has not been completely cleansed.

"Why didn't you say so earlier?" Marshal Xiahou was shocked.

He had only heard that Prince Mo was injured, but seeing how everyone else was disapproving, he only thought that it was because they were all scraps of skin. In the border, who was not injured, he did not pay too much attention to it.

Ding Ding lowered his head and used all his strength to attack the city. All of them, including the guards, went up the city walls to defend, but the difference in strength was still so great that the King ordered them not to cause trouble for the Marshal Xiahou. They all thought that the Prince had only suffered some minor injuries, after all, at that time, the Prince did not even bat an eyelid, he was busy with defending the enemy, and Cao Er had taken care of him, so they did not go forward to inspect.

In that moment of life and death, with only enemies in his eyes, how could he even notice the people around him?

He was also looking around during the gap between the besieging enemies when he realized that his brothers who were fighting side by side with him had already …

Seeing Ding Ding like this, the Marshal Xiahou knew that he was not feeling well, and sighed, "Forget it, since the prince has already fallen asleep, this marshal will be going back."

Ding Ding hurriedly said, "The Marshal's Mansion's Cao Er is still here. Prince ordered that when Marshal Xiahou comes, he should call her to follow him back."

Saying that, he looked at Zhou Lin, "Go to the guest room and invite Miss Cao Er out."

Zhou Lin agreed and left.

"This marshal's intentions are to have her stay here and serve the prince."

The Marshal Xiahou knew that Cao Er and the Duke had different feelings towards the Duke and the others since they had left the small mountain village together. Since the Duke was injured, and needed more people by his side, he could just call Cao Er over to take care of the Duke.

Ding Ding was in a bit of a dilemma, "About that …"

The Duke had never liked Cao Er, but he felt that Cao Er was pitiful, and had always spoken up for him. Now that Sixteen wasn't around, and the Prince had awoken, if the Sixteenth Prince saw him leaving Cao Er behind, he would blame him.

Zhou Lin returned very quickly and looked at Ding Ding with a troubled expression, "Ding, Miss Cao Er has already gone to sleep."

Hearing that, Ding Ding frowned, "Did you not say that Marshal Xiahou is here?"

Zhou Lin was also troubled, when Cao Er said that he had fallen asleep, he could not rush in and pull her up right?

When the Marshal Xiahou heard this, he nodded, "Alright, it's not a big deal, This Commander will be going now."

As he said that, he glanced at Du Jinse and Shi Er, "Where do you two live?"

Du Jinse said and then nodded her head: "Let's go."

Du Jinse kept feeling that something was amiss, but she couldn't say it out loud, so she could only take a step at a time.

Li Hao woke up in the middle of the night, feeling thirsty, he called out, "Mo Mo, Mo Mo."

Ding Ding woke up from his stupor and hurriedly lit a candle, "Your Royal Highness."

Li Hao was startled, but when he saw the person in front of him, he forced a smile and covered it up, "I dreamt of concubine."

Ding Ding nodded in understanding, "The Queen of concubine is thinking about you the same way the Prince thinks about her."

Hearing that, Li Hao looked at Ding Ding with a funny expression, as if he had seen it with his own eyes.

He didn't know where Du Jinse had gone to, since she was pregnant and couldn't walk fast enough. However, Li Hao hoped that she would leave quickly.

Who knew what she would do if she heard that the borderline was at such a critical juncture?

Li Hao sighed and stood up with his clothes draped over his shoulders.

Ding Ding brought over a cup of tea, "Your Highness, it's for you."

Li Hao took it, drained it all in one gulp, and gave the teacup to Ding Ding.

Ding Ding took the opportunity to reply, "Your Highness, the Marshal Xiahou has come over. Seeing that Your Highness has fallen asleep, he did not disturb Your Highness."

Hearing that, Li Hao nodded his head, "You should have taken Cao Er away."

Ding Ding only felt that it was a big deal, but he still had to go back to the King, "Miss Cao Er has already gone to bed in the guest room."

Li Hao squinted dangerously, "Who allowed her to stay here?"

Ding Ding felt his scalp tighten, "Yes … It's me. "

Li Hao gazed at Ding Ding.

"Wang... Your Highness, it was already curfew time, Miss Cao Er … "

Li Hao interrupted Ding Ding, "That Cao Er, your skills are incorrect."

Ding Ding felt that he could not disagree with the King's words.

"Your highness, in any case, she saved your highness. Moreover, even if it's like this, sixteen doesn't have a wife, so even if she has wives, isn't it normal for men to have three wives and four concubines?"

Ding Ding misunderstood Li Hao as saying that Cao Er wanted to please him in order to get him to agree to sixteen being with her.

Ding Ding agreed with Sixteen and Cao Er very much, so he didn't have to worry about it every day.

Ding Ding was afraid that the Sixteen Queen would bring harm to the Duke.

However, Shi San seemed to have nothing to do with him, and after that, Shi San was sent back to the palace by the Duke.

He didn't dare speak these words directly to the prince.

If Li Hao knew about Ding Ding's worry, he would probably die laughing.

Du Jinse was afraid that someone would find out about hshe identity, but she didn't expect that with Ding Ding's brain, he would actually think about it when she saw the two of them being so intimate. She never thought that Du Jinse was actually a woman.
