The fate was changed, the mistress of the Hou family was slapped in the face and made money to win

Chapter 701 Xiao Yue heard it

Xiao Yue was stunned and quickly raised her hand to cover her mouth, suppressing the urge to scream.

If she remembered correctly, that tent belonged to Murong Yu. There was still a candle burning in the tent, so Murong Yu should not have slept yet.

But if he was not asleep, and someone entered the tent, why didn't Murong Yu call anyone?

Could it be that the person who entered was Murong Yu's man? But if it was Murong Yu's man, why would he be dressed in black and sneak around?

All kinds of questions instantly came to her mind. Driven by curiosity, Xiao Yue lightened her steps and quietly approached the tent.

After all, it was just a thin layer, and the sound insulation of the tent was not very good. Although the people inside lowered their voices, Xiao Yue still heard the conversation.

"Your Highness, you have a very good plan. Beiyang thought that they had secured the victory by imprisoning Hu Xiangchen. They certainly didn't expect that Pu Hua, who was promoted to temporarily take over the post of Minister of War, is your real backup." The voice was filled with admiration for Murong Yu.

Inside the tent, Murong Yu's lips curled up slightly as his gaze fell on the man in black in front of him.

"Your Minister Pu sent this defense map to me. Is there any hidden danger left behind?"

The man in black immediately spoke up: "The master said, please rest assured, Ninth Prince, this defense map was copied by him with great effort, the original is still well preserved, no one has discovered it, and there will definitely be no problems."

"Well, it's worth it that I spent so much effort to push your master to the position of Shangshu. He really didn't let me down." Murong Yu said with satisfaction.

"Your Highness, the Ninth Prince, the master said that he will find a way to remove the interim position from his title and firmly take the position of Minister of War. If the two countries go to war in the future, he will definitely continue to serve Your Highness, and I hope Your Highness can remember the promise he made before."

"Don't worry, since Minister Pu and I are on the same side, we are allies. The things that Minister Pu has done will never be leaked. When he makes great contributions in the future, our Xilin Kingdom will definitely reward him with high positions and generous salaries."

The conversation coming out of the tent made Xiao Yue feel cold all over.

So the person who really cooperated with Murong Yu was Pu Hua who replaced Hu Xiangcheng?

Defense map? Do you mean the deployment map of border troops?

If it is a troop deployment map, it has now fallen into Murong Yu's hands. Once Xilin and Beiyang go to war, won't Beiyang definitely lose?

So, from the very beginning, the food delivery man deliberately appeared in front of her in order to use her to bring down the then Minister of War, and then easily push the real traitor to the throne?

Xiao Yue was shocked. If that was the case, wouldn't she become Murong Yu's accomplice?

Also, since the troop deployment map has been obtained, it is only a foregone conclusion that Xilin will send troops to attack Beiyang.

In this case, there is really no point in me being a princess married to a foreign country. Once I arrive in Xilin, I will probably lose my life immediately.

No, she absolutely cannot go to Xilin, and she has to send the news to the imperial city, otherwise Beiyang will be doomed!

Hearing the end of the conversation in the tent, Xiao Yue held her breath and began to turn around and leave little by little. She walked very carefully, fearing that she might accidentally step on something and make a noise, which would alert the people inside.

After taking a few steps smoothly, Xiao Yue felt a little relieved. But the next moment, a few loud voices of "Greetings, Fifth Princess" almost frightened Xiao Yue to death.

Turning around, she saw that it was a soldier on patrol in the marriage team who happened to pass by.

Noticing Xiao Yue's expression change drastically, the leader asked, "Fifth Princess, is there something wrong?"

Xiao Yue was just about to speak when she heard a sound coming from the tent behind her. It must be someone coming out.

With his back to the tent, Xiao Yue felt all the hairs on his body stand up. He tried his best to keep steady and spoke to the soldiers in front of him.

"Nothing. I woke up in the middle of the night and couldn't fall asleep, so I came out to get some fresh air. You guys can continue patrolling and don't worry about me."

"Yes." The soldiers bowed in response.

"Fifth Princess." Murong Yu's slightly cold voice sounded.

Xiao Yue secretly took a deep breath, turned her head with a little surprise, and after seeing Murong Yu, she spoke as usual: "It's so late, the Ninth Prince is still awake."

"The fifth princess hasn't slept either."

"This princess has woken up from a nap." Xiao Yue stretched out her body. "If you have nothing else to do, Ninth Prince, go to bed early. It's still a little cold at night. This princess will go back to the tent first."

"Fifth Princess, wait a minute."

Xiao Yue paused for a moment, her heart in her throat again, but she still turned her head away in confusion.

"Is there anything else, Ninth Prince?"

"It's nothing, but this mission really took up a lot of time, so I plan to speed up my journey starting tomorrow and try to return to Xilin as soon as possible. I wonder if the princess has any opinions?"

Xiao Yue's expression froze. Did he want to go back quickly because he had already obtained the troop deployment map? Or did he say this on purpose to test whether he would stop him from returning to Xilin as soon as possible?

Seeing that Xiao Yue did not answer immediately, Murong Yu spoke again: "Did the Fifth Princess hear it?"

"I heard it. Since the Ninth Prince has made his decision, this princess has nothing to say. It's up to you." Xiao Yue came back to her senses and said indifferently, "Is there anything else the Ninth Prince wants to say? If not, this princess will go back and continue to rest."

Murong Yu shook his head, "No more, Fifth Princess, please do as you please."

Xiao Yue retracted her gaze, tried her best to control her steps, and walked towards the tent slowly.

Murong Yu stood at the door of the tent until Xiao Yue walked into her tent, then he turned around and went back to his own tent.

The guard had been secretly observing Xiao Yue's reaction. "Your Highness, judging from the Fifth Princess's appearance, she didn't seem to hear anything."

The man in black who came to deliver the defense map had a serious face and said, "Ninth Prince, you must not be careless about this matter. If the Fifth Princess hears anything, it will be troublesome. Once she sends the news back, not only will the master be in danger, but your plan will also fail."

"Don't worry, this prince knows this better than anyone else, but judging from Xiao Yue's appearance just now, he probably didn't notice anything."

"Are you sure, Ninth Prince?" the man in black asked subconsciously.

"What do you mean? Don't you believe in our prince?" The guard's face turned cold.

The man in black quickly bowed and apologized, "Please forgive me, Ninth Prince. I never meant to do that. It's just that this matter is of great importance, so..."

"Whether Xiao Yue heard it or not, I will send people to keep a close eye on her and will never give her a chance to report it. Are you relieved?"

"Thank you, Ninth Prince!"

The man in black breathed a sigh of relief, took advantage of the patrolling guards, went over and left quickly and quietly.

In the tent, the guard thought for a moment and said, "Your Highness, how about I send someone to test the Fifth Princess and see if she..."

"No need." Murong Yu shook his head and said firmly, "Xiao Yue heard it."
