Chapter 709 This is a test
"Master, my figure is similar to that of the Fifth Princess."
Hearing this, Xiao Yue immediately looked at the other person, and after looking him up and down, she found that it was true.
"Yes, your figure is indeed very similar to this princess. Wait, no, what's the point of your figure being similar to this princess? What we are looking for now is a corpse!"
"Time is urgent now. It is too difficult to find a corpse similar to the Fifth Princess, so I request that I take the place of the Fifth Princess."
"Qinghe, you are the best in all the training. It is not easy for a woman to achieve this level. Are you willing to give up your life for this?" Shen Yanxi looked at Qinghe seriously.
Xiao Yue was stunned on the spot for a moment by these words.
There was no expression on Qinghe's face, he still stood there with his fists clasped.
"Master, since this matter is related to the Beiyang Kingdom's plan, and I have invested so much energy and effort, even if I die for it, it will be a worthy death."
"No, no, how can we do this!" Xiao Yue objected instinctively, "Let's find a corpse..."
"Fifth Princess, if we can find the body, I will not disregard my own life. It's just that it's too late. If Xilin's people come here before everything is arranged, then we can't cover it up."
"But I can't take your life like this!" Xiao Yue was panicking. Although she didn't want to return to the Xilin team, she really couldn't accept that a good person would have to pay with his life for this.
"Does the Fifth Princess have any better ideas?" Qinghe asked Xiao Yue.
The latter was speechless for a moment. What else could she do?
The only thing she could think of was to use the blood-stained dress as a substitute, but this method had just been ruled out.
"Since the Fifth Princess has no other solution, then I will replace her." Qing He retracted his gaze and knelt down in front of Shen Yanxi. "Master, I am willing to do this. For the sake of the overall situation, please grant me your approval."
"Qinghe, have you really thought it through?" Shen Yanxi confirmed seriously.
Qing He took a deep breath and said, "My Lord, I have made up my mind."
"No, this is absolutely not possible!" Xiao Yue was very anxious.
"Since the Fifth Princess is trying to stop you, are you willing to go back by yourself?"
Qinghe's words made Xiao Yue freeze, and she subconsciously avoided her sight.
"This princess, this princess..."
"If the Fifth Princess doesn't want to, then don't stop me from doing this. This is related to the overall situation of Beiyang State. Sacrificing one of my lives is nothing. After all, if the plan fails, Xilin will be angry and launch a large-scale attack, and then more people and soldiers will die."
Qinghe paused, then turned to look at Jiang Suining and smiled slightly.
"Madam, I have been practicing martial arts since I was young, but because I am a woman, I can neither join the army nor take the martial arts exam. Even when I tried to get a job in the escort agency, I was rejected. Being a secret guard is the only choice I can make, but I hope that in the future, if there are women who are obsessed with martial arts, they will not be like me, and can show everyone their good martial arts!"
As he spoke, Qinghe rubbed his palm on a stone nearby, leaving the same mark as Xiaoyue's palm.
Xiao Yue stared at the scene in a daze, unable to describe the feeling in her heart. When she saw Qinghe starting to walk towards the cliff, she quickly stepped forward and grabbed the other person.
"Don't, don't!"
Although she wanted to live, she never thought of building her life on the death of others.
"Jiang Suining, please persuade her and stop her from doing this!"
Jiang Suining stood there with a frown on his face, but he did not step forward or say anything to stop them.
Qing He broke free from Xiao Yue's hand and said, "Fifth Princess, you don't have to do this. For the sake of the overall situation, I have no choice but to do this."
Seeing that Jiang Suining did not stop her and Qinghe broke free from her, Xiao Yue became completely anxious and reached out to grab her again.
But this time she failed to catch Qinghe. Seeing that the other party had already walked to the edge of the cliff, Xiao Yue hurriedly spoke loudly.
"No, don't jump, don't jump! I'll go back, I'll go back by myself!"
Qinghe stopped and looked at Xiao Yue with some surprise.
"Isn't the Fifth Princess afraid and unwilling to go back?"
"This princess is afraid and really doesn't want to go back, but I can't just watch a living person die for me!"
Xiao Yue spoke while grabbing Qinghe again.
"It's hard for anyone to impersonate me. The best way is for me to go back in person."
"Has the Fifth Princess really thought it through?" This time it was Jiang Suining who asked the question.
"I've thought it through, the princess has thought it through!" Xiao Yue spoke hurriedly, fearing that she would be too late and Qinghe would jump down.
Jiang Suining smiled and looked at Shen Yanxi, "The facts prove that what I said was right."
"Yes, Madam is still the best." Shen Yanxi also smiled.
Xiao Yue looked at the two of them in confusion, not understanding what this meant for a moment.
"Fifth Princess, please forgive me. This was a test." Jiang Suining looked at Qinghe.
The latter walked a few steps away from the cliff, bowed to Xiao Yue and apologized: "I'm sorry, Fifth Princess, I was just following orders."
Xiao Yue looked at them and realized belatedly that if they were to disguise themselves, they should at least change into their own clothes. How could they just jump directly to the bottom of the cliff? She was so eager just now that she even ignored this point.
"So, you just want to test whether I will stop her, whether I will let someone else die for me?" Xiao Yue felt very depressed. It had come to this, and Jiang Suining and the others were still testing this. It was really too much!
"Fifth Princess, don't be angry. The test just now was not a prank, but a measure of... your life or death."
"My life or death?" Xiao Yue frowned tightly, feeling extremely uneasy in her heart.
"The Emperor has ordered that if anyone becomes a variable during the execution of the plan, they must be eliminated immediately, including the Fifth Princess. So, Fifth Princess, I can kill you right here tonight."
Shen Yanxi's words made Xiao Yue's back instantly cold and her hair stood on end.
"But I am the fifth princess after all, the daughter of my father! He really..."
Xiao Yue did not finish the rest of the words. Thinking back to the previous dispute between her and Emperor Xiao over the marriage, Xiao Yue understood in her heart that it was not surprising that Emperor Xiao would issue such an order.
She bit her lip and asked instead.
"Then why didn't you kill me immediately?"
"Because of Ningning." Shen Yanxi looked at Jiang Suining, "Because she wants to give the fifth princess another chance."
