Chapter 188 If she had to make a choice, she would choose Ye Xi
"The person pretending to be your sister-in-law is Liu He. She is your sister-in-law's twin sister. As you guessed, they are indeed twins. The Nanman royal family is in fierce conflict. In order to protect his offspring, the Nanman King had to hide Liu He and send her out as Liu Tao when necessary."
"When you went to Yuezhou to get the account books, she came to me on her own initiative. She told me that Ye Lang might ambush us, and also made her position clear. She came to Jingguo not only to exchange Liu Tao for a temporary reunion with her father and brother, but also to see you."
"That's why, although I didn't expose her, I never believed her. I had people watching her every move in the capital, and the facts proved that she didn't lie to me."
Ye Xi felt a burning sensation in his heart as he heard this. He clenched his fists, and the sense of melancholy in his heart grew stronger.
"...But she, but she has gone back now."
Lin Shan paused: "Has Liu He gone back?"
Ye Xi nodded: "I originally sent her out tonight, wanting to read her letter. But just now I went to the place where we agreed to meet, and she wasn't there. I waited for a long time but didn't see her, so..."
Lin Shanjuan didn't think so: "If she left, she would definitely take this letter with her. Maybe she was delayed by something. You should go back and wait for her."
Ye Xi's mind was in a mess. She felt that what Lin Shanjuan said made sense, but there was always a voice telling her -
"She's gone."
Seeing Ye Xi like this, Qi Zhaomian sighed softly: "Xiaoxi, she came from afar for you. Even if she leaves, she will definitely be the one who is most reluctant to leave. At least, she will say goodbye to you and won't leave without saying goodbye."
These words seemed to trickle into Ye Xi's heart, and her impatience eased a little, and she brought up the matter of rebellion again.
"How should we deal with the rebellion?"
Qi Zhaomian pondered for a moment. "We need to discuss this matter with Liu He. The Nanman King is short-sighted and doesn't understand the principle of 'lips and teeth are cold'. If we can get Liu He to convince the Nanman King to fight the enemy together, then we can contain Ji Shihan, and the Nanman King can contain Nalu Han. Since these two can't be together, we can naturally defeat them one by one."
After all, most of the troops are here now. Even if Ji Shihan has great abilities and strategies, he can't cook without rice.
"Okay!" Ye Xi agreed, "Then I... I'll go back and wait for her."
Lin Shanjuan sent her to the gate of the mansion, and after watching Ye Xi mount her horse, he advised: "Don't worry too much about Liu He's matter. Maybe after you two talk it out, many problems can be solved."
Ye Xi nodded: "I hope so. No matter what, protecting Jingguo is my mission. I will not be shaken by anyone, whether it's her or my brother. If she is unwilling to persuade the King of Nanman, then I will not let her stay in Jingguo anymore."
Ye Xi is not Ye Lang, she knows the difference between national conditions and Xiao Ai very clearly.
She admitted that she was now shaken by Liu He's gentleness towards her, but she was more convinced that she was the leader of the Qingcang Army and her glory came from Jingguo. No matter who it was, no one could shake the Qingcang Army behind her, let alone Jingguo behind her.
Ye Xi left covered in the darkness, and Lin Shanjuan stood there and watched her for a long time before leaving.
Qi Zhaomian had already taken off his clothes and lay down. When he saw her come back, he lifted the quilt and took her into his arms.
"Why are you so worried?"
Lin Shanjuan shook his head, put his arms around Qi Zhaomian's waist, and buried his head in Qi Zhaomian's chest.
"I just feel that Ye Xi has finally met someone who likes her, and she also has feelings for him. It would be a pity if they break up like this."
Qi Zhaomian said nothing after hearing this, but touched the back of Lin Shan's tired head, silently comforting him.
After a while, Lin Shanjuan raised his head and asked, "Do you think Liu He would be willing to persuade the Nanman King?"
Qi Zhaomian thought for a few seconds and nodded. "She once said that she and her brother shared the same sentiments. They both did not want another war between the two countries, which would implicate innocent people. If she had such a thought, she would definitely persuade the King of Nanman."
Lin Shanjuan also thought so: "Although Liu He looks cold, he is also quite gentle. You didn't see that..."
She was forced to stop talking because Mianmian, who was hugging her, looked at her expressionlessly: "Very gentle?"
Lin Shanjuan closed his mouth, then took Qi Zhaomian's hand and patted his lips.
"Stinky mouth, talking nonsense! Hit it!"
Qi Zhaomian was amused by her, glared at her and turned away: "Go to sleep, you are so frivolous."
Lin Shanjuan shamelessly pressed himself against her: "Mianmian is still the most gentle. Oh, you're so cute when you're jealous. Oh, please let me hug you. Oh, so cute...&%...￥"
Qi Zhaomian's ears were filled with Lin Shanjuan's overjoyed mumblings. The corners of her lips curled up slightly as she let Lin Shanjuan rub and praise her. The little bit of jealousy she had felt had long since disappeared.
It's really strange, how could anyone be willing to make such a big fuss to appease such a tiny bit of jealousy?
But if it was Lin Shanjuan who did this, perhaps it wouldn't be so strange.
Because Lin Shanjuan has always cared about her and always makes up for all her little emotions.
He would be praised even when he was jealous, and he would be praised even when he was angry. No matter what Qi Zhaomian did, he could see joy and praise in Lin Shanjuan's eyes.
This made Qi Zhaomian willing to immerse herself in this sea of flowers. She knew that no matter whether there were open attacks or hidden arrows from behind, Lin Shanjuan would hold her tightly.
With a wife like this, what else could I ask for?
"...cute. Good night, Mian Mian~"
Qi Zhaomian curled his lips and snuggled into Lin Shanjuan's arms contentedly: "Good night~"
-
Ye Xi rode her horse back to the general's mansion. She walked faster and faster and headed straight for her house.
But it was still pitch black.
Liu He hasn't come back yet.
Ye Xi felt more and more depressed. She didn't know what anger made her sit at the table in the main room, waiting for Liu He to come back angrily.
Shan Juan is right, she will come back.
Didn’t Her Highness also say that she wouldn’t leave without saying goodbye?
The capital is under martial law now, how could she possibly get out?
But it’s so late and she hasn’t come back yet. Could something have happened?
Ye Xi's mind gradually became anxious. After a while, she felt very sleepy, so she simply crawled into the quilt with her clothes on and lay down.
This was originally her house. Although the bedding now smells of Liu He, it is still her house after all!
Ye Xi was drowsy and thinking about some irrelevant things. He fell asleep as soon as his head touched the pillow.
It was almost dawn when Liu He followed Ye Lang back to the general's mansion.
After following him all night, she was tired and sleepy. After taking a quick shower, she still remembered her agreement with Ye Xi and ran to the Four Corners Pavilion to take a look.
Of course, the place was empty. Liu He felt very disappointed - it was all because of that damn Ye Lang, who had to run out in the middle of the night and made her miss her appointment with Xier!
Will Xier be angry?
Liu He stood in front of Ye Xi's door and hesitated for a long time. Finally, he decided to go back to his room and talk about it in the morning.
But when she stood in front of the bed and saw Ye Xi sleeping soundly, all her fatigue and worry disappeared.
Liu He did not hesitate. She lifted the quilt a little. The movement woke Ye Xi up. Her voice was a little hoarse, but she was still very alert.
"Who?!"
Liu He chuckled, grasped her fist that suddenly rushed towards him, and hugged her tightly with a smile: "It's me. There's still time, sleep a little longer."
Ye Xi recognized that it was the person he had been waiting for all night, and his guard relaxed, and he fell into sleepiness again.
Liu He closed his arms around Ye Xi, and smelling the fragrance of Ye Xi's hair, he fell asleep peacefully.
No matter how turbulent the country and family are, no matter how strong the undercurrents are, he is still holding her at this moment.
She had to choose between returning to Nanman now and living a lonely life, or staying by Ye Xi's side and holding her to sleep.
Then she would choose the latter without hesitation.
