Chapter 123 Weapons for the Prince
At midnight, everything was silent, and a cold moon hung high in the sky, casting a cold light. Dark Moon Fairy came to Chu Caiwei's room quietly like a ghost.
The lights in the room were dim. Chu Caiwei sat quietly in front of the table. On the table were two cups of steaming tea, which gave off a faint fragrance.
Dark Moon Fairy pushed open the door and saw that Chu Caiwei was not asleep. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes: "You haven't rested yet?"
Chu Caiwei smiled and said softly, "As soon as the lotus lanterns were hung, I knew you would come tonight. Li Jingshu really picked out the two dance dresses you gave me. She said that these two dresses seemed like something she had seen in a dream!"
Hearing this, Dark Moon Fairy's eyelids twitched suddenly, and she thought to herself: Both sets of dance dresses are the skins of Diao Chan in the game played by Shu Shu. Could it be that this Li Jingshu is really Shu Shu's soul? Or is it all just a coincidence?
Chu Caiwei seemed to have noticed something strange about Dark Moon Fairy, and asked curiously, "Master Dark Moon, is there any grudge between you and Li Jingshu?"
Dark Moon Fairy smiled disdainfully and replied coldly: "Maybe we had a grudge in our last life! But it doesn't matter, you don't need to ask too much. I will definitely help you with all my strength and make Li Jingshu fall into a situation worse than death!"
Dark Moon Fairy said, "I heard that the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess will invite the ministers to go boating tomorrow. I want to dress up as your maid." After that, Dark Moon Fairy's eyes became more and more cold and ruthless, as if she had seen Li Jingshu's tragic end. Chu Caiwei silently looked at the mysterious and powerful woman in front of her, with a complex emotion in her heart.
At dawn the next day, in the dim light of morning, a plain-looking woman holding a peculiarly shaped weapon walked into the door of Chu Caiwei's princess residence. This woman looked ordinary, but she exuded an indescribable aura of confidence, as if she was born with it.
Chu Caiwei stared at the woman in front of her with wide eyes, her face full of astonishment, her voice trembling slightly: "Are you the leader of the Dark Moon Pavilion? But why do you disguise yourself like this?"
Dark Moon Fairy smiled slightly and replied calmly, "I came here this time disguised as your maid. Naturally, the more inconspicuous and ordinary I am, the less likely I will be noticed." As she spoke, she gently stroked her face, which had been carefully disguised. Her original stunning appearance had disappeared, replaced by a plain, even slightly ugly face...
In fact, this face is the true face of the bounty hunter Luo Lingyue. And in real life, she is also the Luo Lingyue that Cheng Li and Shu Shu are familiar with!
At this moment, Chu Caiwei was leading Meixiang, Huixiang and Dark Moon Fairy, who was disguised as a maid, onto the Crown Prince's magnificent pleasure boat.
The interior decoration of this pleasure boat used by the prince to cruise on the lake is extremely luxurious: in addition to the cabin on the top, the bow is also decorated with exquisite flower lintels and flower covers; there are windows facing each other and several seats on both sides of the hull. The entire pleasure boat is not only beautifully decorated, but also painted with colorful and eye-catching patterns, which is particularly eye-catching.
Walking into the painted boat, you can see that there are all kinds of furnishings such as tables and chairs inside! For this banquet, the prince not only invited the virtuous king and the prince Xiao to attend the banquet, but also invited many ministers in the court.
There was laughter and joy on the pleasure boat, singing and dancing, and the delicious wine was still warm.
Chu Caiwei stepped lightly into the pleasure boat, and a majestic general in armor immediately came forward to greet her: "Eighth Princess! I am Shang Wei from the Jingji Camp! I am so lucky to see the Eighth Princess's beauty today! The Eighth Princess is truly so beautiful that she can overthrow the moon and the flowers, and she is so beautiful that she can overthrow the whole country!"
Chu Caiwei thanked him in a gentle voice: "General Shang, you are too kind!" She thought to herself that although Shang Wei in front of her was only a small general in the Jingji Camp, his father Shang Boxian was the garrison general of Dazhao, with great power and position. Shang Boxian's status in the court was equal to that of the Minister of War An Qingxuan, and he was one of the most trusted and respected ministers of Emperor Wen.
Chu Caiwei knew the intention of the prince's arrangement, and she had also heard about Shang Wei. It was said that this man was a pure warrior, with an impatient and violent temper, and extremely cruel methods. Rumor has it that most of his concubines and maids were tortured to death by him!
Thinking of this, Chu Caiwei couldn't help but feel pity for those women, and at the same time she became more wary of Shang Wei. However, on the surface, she still maintained an elegant and calm demeanor, and greeted Shang Wei with a smile.
Shang Wei's eyes were fixed on Chu Caiwei like a hungry wolf, and he scanned her up and down without concealing anything, as if he wanted to see through her. This impudent and rude behavior disgusted Chu Caiwei, but she still suppressed her unhappiness, turned around and whispered to the maid behind her: "Quickly present the weapons we specially prepared for the crown prince, please take a look and appreciate them."
After hearing this, Shang Wei reluctantly turned his gaze away from Chu Caiwei, who was waiting for the opportunity, and stared at the object in the maid's hand. He was shocked and cried out, "What is this? It is so new and unique, and I, who am so ignorant, have never seen it before!"
At this moment, the prince walked over. Everyone's eyes converged on the mysterious weapon held tightly in the maid's hand. At the end of the long pole was a double-edged axe that was more than one meter long. The axe blade flashed with cold light on both sides, and it was so sharp that it seemed that it could easily cut off the enemy's weapons and armor; not only that, there was a sharp protruding spike on the top of the axe, which could obviously serve as an attacking weapon to take the enemy's life. The whole set of weapons was exquisite, with both offensive and defensive capabilities, and was undoubtedly a work of ingenuity and ingenuity.
When Crown Prince Li Chengli saw the weapon, he blurted out: "Fang Tian Hua Ji!"
The maid holding the weapon's eyes sparkled. Seeing this, Chu Caiwei immediately complimented her: "Brother Crown Prince is so amazing! This weapon was forged by a hermit, and it has never been given a suitable name. The name you gave it is so nice! So powerful! Caiwei came here to present the magic weapon 'Fang Tian Hua Ji' to Brother Crown Prince."
Other officials also began to echo him! They all praised that only the prince was worthy of owning such a magical weapon!
The prince took the Fang Tian Hua Ji from the maid's hand. As soon as he got it, he felt that the weapon was very difficult to hold. He gritted his teeth and finally stabilized the Fang Tian Hua Ji!
The prince quickly asked the guards to take the Fang Tian Hua Ji away. He put down his sleeves to cover his shaking hands. He laughed and said, "This Fang Tian Hua Ji is very good! Cai Wei is thoughtful!"
He looked at this ordinary-looking maid with some surprise. Is she a master? She has been holding the Fang Tian Hua Ji for such a long time, but she doesn't even show a trace of pain!
It didn't matter that he just glanced at her. He felt like he had seen this maid somewhere before, so he stared at her again.
Seeing this, Chu Caiwei hurriedly asked in a low voice: "Brother Crown Prince, is my maid too ugly? I will let her go back home right now!"
The prince came back to his senses and said with a faint smile: "It's okay! Caiwei, go sit with General Shang! Help your brother take good care of General Shang!"
Chu Caiwei felt a chill in her heart! Sure enough, her brother the crown prince was plotting against her again...
