I am a Second Female Lead

Chapter 62: 7. Shi Jing (Nuan)

Sheri jolted from her thought when Ru Shan came.

"Did you discover anything? Asked Lou Xi

Ru Shan nodded. "They are undoubtedly from the "Xingci Zhe clan" while the one who ambushes us is

from the neighboring country." Ru Shan said.

Sheri is pondering that she instantly forgot her own situation. In the book, it says the female lead was

disclosing information toward the neighboring country. One thing is, she never even imparts any

modern ideas to her own country. This naturally makes the story of this world complicated. Sheri was

reflecting.

Sheri walks toward one of the assassins and studies his hand. It's indeed, has a mark, but it's not the

mark that the female lead designed.

"What's going on?" Sheri thought.

She even looked at their swords and arrows. Definitely, it's not from the female lead. Sheri instantly

looked at the crown prince.

"How did they know where I was?" Sheri reasonably questioned.

Lou Xi was thinking the same.

"Ru Shan examine your men. I think we have a spy." Lou Xi toward his brother.

Ru Shan went and talk to his soldier and pass them a direct order.

Another soldier arrived and was sweating. Sheri saw, that it's all her stuff. He basically carries her

whole tent.

Sheri drops her mouth wide open. "Why would he carry my tent? Sheri thought.

Lou Xi shuts her mouth.

"I asked them to bring your tent. We will set up in a different area. The travel is still far away from here.

If you had trained with me before then we don't have any problem with traveling toward the barracks.

because you're slow it will take us 2 days." Lou Xi said. Sheri eyebrow twisted. Periodically she wanted

to strike the back of his head.

"Your highness. Why don't you carry me since you keep on boasting about your so-called qinggong,"

Sheri said.

According to the legendary, the people who do a qinggong can carry one person and will never be

tired.

Lou Xi looked at her.

"With a cow like you. I think I would be out of breath in half a day," Lou Xi jokingly said.

Ru shan on the side was clenching his fist. He felt so jealous of the way, both Sheri and the crown

prince bicker and laugh at each other.

Since the time he found out that he has been a girl all along. He was amused. He carefully observed

her for how many years and slowly falls in love with her. She was kind, and she is not a nonsense girl.

She's weird and wild sometimes, but she has a heart for all. No matter how smart she is, she chooses

to lie low and always gives credit toward other people even though some of the things were her

creations.

She is brilliant. He desired her but the moment he went toward her father and sought her hand. Her

father said thoughtfully it was Shi Jing choice. He clearly doesn't want to be involved in her daughter's

love life. He advises him that he should take it slowly.

He advises him that he should take it slowly

Lou Xi walks toward his beloved brother.

"It's been a long-time brother," Lou Xi said and extend his hand toward his shoulder.

Ru Shan smile and look at his brother. Even though they are born with different mothers. The crown

prince didn't treat him as an outsider. He always considers his opinion and did value him. His feelings

toward Shi Jing don't affect his loyalty toward his brother. He did make a vow that this life he will make

sure to do everything to support him.

Sheri instantly becomes serious while unfolding her camping tent. The soldier who bore it, was amazed

while examining at how Sheri folded her tent. He was busy the whole time trying to unfold it. He was

already sweating when it took him 2 hours of not figuring out. Since he can't figure it out, he prefers

carrying it instead and bring it just like that.

Sheri was pondering what are the chances that the female lead is involved. Everyday Sheri makes sure

to observe the female lead. She set up a nearby store close toward the prime-minister house. Their

informant is their own people. Sheri went and looked for an orphan and trains him. She makes a deal

with him and trains him very well. The crown prince knew about it. He never asked any questions

regarding that matter.

Lou Xi was wondering why Sheri is focused on the prime minister daughter.

According to their informants. The female lead didn't leave that much in her home. She never also

leaves at night. The only time she leaves was during tea parties or if she is invited by the 3rd prince.

Ru Shan was looking at how serious she is. He walked toward her and was supposed to talk to her, but

he stood still. The way her brow furrowed and the way she elegantly fixes her stuff. Her hands were not

small and not big but surely look soft.

Sheri snaps from her thought and looks at Ru Shan and smile.

"Glad your alright, your highness," Sheri said.

"Ahemmn" Ru Shan blush when Sheri smile at him.

Lou Xi chuckled on the side.

"Ru Shan we need to move out. Tell your men to meet us at the northern border. I need to survey this

area together with Jing. I require her opinion." the crown prince seriously said.

Sheri frown. Yes, she indeed said she would one day need to survey the place.

Ru Shan on the other side supposed to protest, but he saw his brother is serious meaning it must be

serious.

"Alright," Ru shan said and carefully gather his men and gallop toward the northern border.

Lou xi also commanded his troops to follow the second prince. They immediately obey.

Sheri furrowed her brow.

"Why would you let them all go? Sheri asked.

"Jing let's go." Lou Xi seizes her hand and leads her to a nearby cave.

"Wait, what are we doing here?" Sheri reasonably asked.

Lou Xi carefully unpacked her stuff and properly assemble her camping tent and went in.

Sheri was speechless.

"Hey Lou Xi, what are you doing?" Sheri went inside the tent and saw Lou Xi laying down and gently

patting the empty side of him.

"Sleep, we need to sleep," Lou Xi said.

Sheri was amazed by how he is. He was like this since they were young teens. She was supposed to

leave when a large hand pull her waist and embrace her.

Sheri becomes stiffed.

"Wait, your highness," Sheri was promptly pulled by Lou Xi and tenderly embrace her.

"Your highness, this is inappropriate," Sheri said.

"What is inappropriate, we've been sleeping how many times together." Lou Xi said.

"Your highness, use your logic. You know already I am a lady. Ple..." Sheri didn't continue talking when

Lou Xi laughs so hard.

"Jing, what is lady about you? Except for your body. The whole looks of you, are like a man. Do you

think I would force you? Tsk. My moral preferences are way higher than what you think. I still prefer a

soft body. A bigger chest and a good butt." Lou Xi teasingly said.

Sheri furrowed her brow.

"Oh really." Sheri jumps at him and wrestles him.

Sheri was laughing when Lou Xin began tickling her.

Sheri was on top of him and tried to sit up.

Lou Xi amusedly looked at her.

"I like this position," Lou xi said.

Sheri looked at her position and instantly descends from him.

She lay next to him. Sheri finds it not awkward. She is not a lady in this era and her feeling for him is

extremely comfortable. They grew up together, they sleep together and eat together. He was a perfect

gentleman. No wonder why when they were young he always makes sure they had a space between

beds.

"Your highness, why did you not tell me earlier that you know my gender?"

Sheri asked gently.

Lou Xi looked up.

" I understand what your father wants and who am I to judge it's wrong. If I will become an emperor. I

want any woman who wants to be involved in politics or even in war will be permitted. There will be

oppositions, struggles, and many of the old ones will not approve of it. I know I will be fighting a fight

that perhaps it will shape history or not. Also, you open my eyes to every possible way. Thanks to you."

Lou xi said.

Sheri smile. That's one thing she really admires toward the prince. He has good skills in observing

people and outstanding leadership. No wonder the old Shi Jing wish is to help him.

"Your highness, you really impressed me," Sheri said while yawning and immediately falls asleep. She

was so tired.

Lou Xi looks at his side and watches her while she is asleep. He suddenly becomes serious. He

wanted to know who wants to harm him that's why he went out of the border and meets her here. His

instinct is right.
