Chapter 63 She no longer coaxed him

  Xu Chuyang had been trying very hard to remain calm, but upon hearing this, she couldn't help but lose her composure and hastily shook her head: "No no!"

  "Why?"

  The car is too crowded! There are already four people in it!

  Of course, she couldn't say that, if Jun Shang found out about the people on the carriage, they would be done for, they must be sent back to the Grand Prison!

  "This... this is not proper!" Xu Chunian stuttered, "Your carriage is still in the stable over there, it's no big deal to have someone bring it over..."

  Li Huaiyu and others sat in the carriage, already so frightened that they didn't dare to breathe out loudly. Several pale faces were clustered together, motionless, afraid that Zi Yang Jun would notice something and suddenly lift the curtain of the carriage.

  This is really exciting!

  It was quiet outside, and Huai Yu's whole body tensed up. A pair of apricot eyes stared fixedly at the car curtain, and in her mind, she had already begun to rehearse what would happen if he lifted this curtain.

  However, a moment later, Jiang Xuanjin spoke up: "If it's inconvenient, then forget it. Let's go for a ride."

  "Yes!" He responded and ran towards the stable.

  Several people in the car let out a sigh of relief at the same time, feeling safe now.

  But what they couldn't see was that as soon as he spoke, Jiang Xuanjin's gaze fell on the tightly closed carriage curtains, with a hint of ink-like color flowing at the bottom of his eyes.

  Xu Chu Nian was already covered in cold sweat, clutching her handkerchief and at a loss for what to do.

  You've discovered... With this gaze, he must know there's someone in the car!

  But he stood there with his hands behind him, as if he had no intention of going over to the carriage to take a look.

  "Is Second Sister going to meet up with Second Brother?" he asked in a low voice.

  Xu Chu nodded, clearing his throat: "Yes... yes."

  "Just right." Jiang Xuanjin said slowly, "Ben Jun also wants to go, but he doesn't know the way, so please ask Second Aunt's carriage to lead the way in front."

  Xu Chuyan: "......"

  She and Jiang Baishi agreed that they would drop them off as soon as they left the city. If Jun Shang is traveling in the same direction, how can they get off?!

  Li Huaiyu in the car also frowned upon hearing this and rubbed her fingers uncomfortably.

  What's going on? Qingxuan asked with her eyes beside him.

  Hua Yu shook her head, what else could she do? Let's take it one step at a time, maybe once we leave the city, there will be an opportunity to escape.

  Xu Chuchan got on the carriage with a gloomy face, letting her personal servant act as the coachman. When the wheels started rolling, she spoke in a low voice: "You're also going to Linjiang Mountain."

  Lingjiang Mountain is fifty miles west of Kyoto and is a place where many people from Jiangzhou come to climb high and look far.

  Hua Yu wiped her face: "Lu Jinghang's people are still waiting for us at the post station, halfway through, you make an excuse to stop and we'll think of a way to slip away."

  "Good......" The answer was very unconvincing. Xu Chuyan whispered in a low voice, "But I always feel that the lord has already discovered it."

  "It's impossible." Bai Jue shook his head, "If he had discovered it, he would have directly surrounded the carriage and taken us back. Since there is no movement, madam doesn't need to scare herself."

  Don't scare yourself, Zi Yang Jun's eyes seemed to have seen through the car curtains! However, she didn't understand either, knowing something was off, why didn't he react?

  Hua Yu patted her hand and signaled her to calm down, then began to think seriously about how they could leave the place unscathed.

  A big fire broke out in the Fulu Palace, and the flames spread quickly. Many palace people screamed and ran around, carrying bucket after bucket of water to put out the fire.

  Li Huairan heard the news and immediately ordered the lockdown of Kyoto. Anyone entering or leaving would have to undergo inspection.

  "What's going on? Haven't we already exorcised it?" Liu Yunlie frowned and asked the high monk.

  The remaining monks on the altar were still reciting the mantra of reincarnation, and the high-ranking monk with a Buddhist rosary around his neck walked up to the emperor, chanted a Buddha's name, and then said: "The soul has indeed left her body, but she seems to have some kind of powerful artifact, and the soul that was just captured escaped again."

  As he spoke, he pointed to the sackcloth bag on the altar that had sunk down.

  This solemn nonsense was quite persuasive, because the Emperor and Liu Yunlie both knew that Li Huaiyu had a "jade pendant" that could die and come back to life.

  "What was given is indeed false." Li Huailian muttered.

  With all his precautions and defenses, how could he still not defend against Imperial Sister's schemes?

  "How could this be?" Bai De's face turned pale as he stood beside him, asking in a low voice, "Has that Pearl fallen into the hands of Princess Chang again?"

  His expression was bewildered and worried, perfectly portraying a loving father who had lost his daughter.

  No one present would have thought that Bái Dézhòng could lie, and Lǐ Huáilín comforted him, saying: "Don't worry for now, Your Majesty has already sent someone to capture him."

  As a result, neither Gaoseng nor Bais were implicated this time.

  The lockdown order came suddenly and quickly, when the Jiangfu carriage arrived at the West City Gate, a long queue had already formed at the entrance to start checking one by one. Li Huaiyu lifted the curtain of the carriage to take a look outside, furrowing her brow.

  This time, I'm afraid they won't let the horse carriage of Jiang's mansion go easily.

  She saw the guard at the gate coming this way, so she nervously lowered the carriage curtain and was just about to instruct Xu Chuyan to stall for a moment when Jiang Xuanjin's voice suddenly rang out from outside.

  "What's going on?" He got off his horse and walked up, blocking the approaching guard, asking in a cold tone.

  Jiang Qu drove to the west city gate on duty, and as soon as he saw him, he immediately came forward to pay his respects: "Report to you, sir, the emperor's oral decree, strictly investigate the people entering and leaving the capital, and capture the escaped prisoners."

  "Fugitive?" Jiang Xuanjin was slightly impatient, "There is no one on my carriage."

  "Alright, alright!" Jiang Qian hastily said, "The people under my command don't have the ability to investigate you. Please come this way, the line is a bit long, you can go ahead and walk from here."

  With an expressionless nod, Jiang Xuanjin gestured towards the carriage beside him: "The Second Mistress of the manor, let her go first."

  "No problem, no problem!" Jiang drove himself to open the way, and took the opportunity to scold the guard who had just gone to check, "You dare to check the master's carriage, are you tired of living?"

  The little guard hesitated: "I didn't think of checking your car, but that one in front..."

  "That's also from Jiang Fu, you eat a few bear hearts and leopard gallbladders before going again!"

  It is...

  The half-open city gate is now fully open, and two horse-drawn carriages slowly pass by the guards holding high their painted halberds, heading towards the suburbs.

  Li Huaiyu pressed her hand against her wildly beating heart, and slumped onto Qingxuan's shoulder beside her. Qingxuan caught her, saying softly, "Your Highness, don't worry."

  Xu was shocked by their appearance, but after thinking about it, she realized that "The Book of Divorce" had already been written, and she and Jun Shang were impossible to be together. Having someone else take care of him was also a good thing.

  But... still feel a little regretful.

  "Take these two first." She handed over a bottle of medicine. "You're still weak and the car ride was bumpy."

  "What is this?" Qing Xuan took it over, opened it and poured out two dark brown pellets.

  "Holding jade and raising an eyebrow: 'For fetal protection?'"

  Xu Chu nodded slightly.

  "What... what is being protected?" The white and red gold opposite were shocked, and Qingxuan beside him also widened his eyes.

  Hua Yu looked at them with a puzzled expression, then suddenly realized: "I haven't had a chance to tell you yet."

  She pointed at her belly and said: "There might be a little one in here."

  “……”

  The sound of the carriage wheels creaking echoed in the quiet compartment, and it wasn't until the horse had gone far away that someone hesitantly spoke up: "Purple... Purple Yang Jun's?"

  Hua Yu nodded and swallowed the medicine, saying with great satisfaction: "This deal wasn't bad at all. I've accomplished many things I wanted to do, and I even got a child back."

  She can still laugh! Bai Qi's face turned white with rage: "He got you pregnant, and he still locked you in a dead cell. And during the interrogation, he said those hurtful words?!"

  Xu Chuyan was taken aback: "What did you just say?"

  "There's nothing." Rou'er scratched her temples and said, "I didn't take it to heart."

  Don't take it to heart, how can you cry like that? Bai Jie's face sank, thinking for a moment before gritting his teeth and saying: "Wait until the child is born, tell him, I'm his dad, his real dad!"

  The person opposite him raised an eyebrow and retorted: "You think you're more handsome than you actually are? With me around, do you even stand a chance?"

  She gave him a cold glance: "You can be his godmother."

  "Hey Bai! Are you looking for a fight?!"

  "I don't hit women."

  "You!"

  With a headache from the noise, Huai Yu disdainfully pushed Qing Xuan away and said to Chi Jin, who had been quietly obedient across from them: "Come sit by me, let those two sit together and fight."

  "Your Highness?" Qing Xuan looked at her with a hint of grievance.

  "It's no use!"

  Xu Chu's eyes widened in shock as he watched, and saw that the beautiful Qingxuan was thrown to Bai Sha's side. Both of their eyes were flashing red lights, if not for the narrowness of the car compartment, they might have really fought each other.

  What kind of people are these? They look good in appearance, but why are they so attached to Jiang Baishi?

  Seeing the doubt in her eyes, Huai Yu explained with a full of apology: "These children were all raised by me, so..."

  Who would raise a large group of men for no reason? Xu Chuyi pinched her handkerchief in a daze, and an idea became clearer in her mind.

  Father suddenly showed great concern for Jiang Baishi, asking her to take good care of herself. Although Jiang Baishi was imprisoned, she still managed to bail out her father. Clearly a noble lady, she was locked in a death cell, and rumors even spread that she was a remnant of the Danyang faction...

  "She paused and frowned, asking, "Is he a person of Princess Dan Yang?"

  "No." Huai Yu shook her head, very honestly saying, "I am just Dan Yang."

  As soon as this was said, both Bai Xue and Qing Xuan looked at Jiang Er Furen with some trepidation.

  "Your Highness..." Akane expressed her disapproval by tugging on her sleeve.

  How can you say such a thing? Even if Madame Jiang intends to save them, but knowing that she is Princess Danyang... the reputation of Danyang in those years was really not very good.

  However, Xuchu heard it and seemed to have no special reaction. After a moment of contemplation, he suddenly enlightened and said: "So the three of you were all palace guards in the past?"

  Qing Xuan, Bai Kai: "......"

  Chi Jin nodded: "Yes."

  "That's really true." Xu Chunyou muttered, "You are the one who came later, they were originally serving by the princess's side."

  Li Huaiyu stared at her in astonishment, blinking and asking: "Aren't you curious why I changed from Bai Si's younger sister to Princess Danyang?"

  "With my brain, even if you explained it to me, I wouldn't understand." She said with a clear gaze, "Just like how you guessed my thoughts with just two plates back then, you explained it to me, but I only thought you were amazing, and couldn't think of it myself."

  "But... " She pursed her lips, "I think you won't deceive me."

  She's really a silly girl! Hua Yu looked at her and after a long silence suddenly smiled: "Yes, I won't deceive you."

  The horse carriage continued to move forward with a jolting motion, and Xuchu You was not only unresistant to the identity of Princess Danyang, but also very curious.

  "Will so many concubines in Princess Chang's palace fight with each other like Second Master's concubines?"

  "Hai Yu said: 'It's okay, I'm still a bit different from Second Young Master.'"

  She doesn't go to other people's rooms overnight either.

  "So, does Princess Chang have a favorite eunuch?" Xu Chuyan's eyes sparkled.

  Qing Xuan and Bai Xi's mouth corners twitched, they thought that this Second Madam seemed to be not very good at speaking, who would directly ask such a question in front of so many people?

  However, Li Huaiyu thought seriously and stroked his chin, saying: "Yu Cheng is mature and steady, my martial arts were taught by him; Bai Xue's talent is high, the words he writes are very beautiful; Qing Xuan's face is moving, seemingly more beautiful than me; Chi Jin is reticent, but has a rare gentle temperament... this is really hard to choose!"

  Chi Jin, who had been silent all along, spoke up: "If it's hard to choose, let's just choose Lu Zhuanggui."

  "What? Huaiyu glared at him: "Lu Zhanggui hasn't entered Feiyun Palace yet.""

  "Isn't it the same?" Akane tilted her head.

  It's indeed the same, anyway, she doesn't favor anyone in Feiyun Palace, nor does she favor Lu Jinghang, they're all just mixed together.

  After some thought, she solemnly turned to Xu Chuyan and said, "Then let's choose Lu Jinghang."

  The words had barely fallen when the horse carriage suddenly came to a stop.

  The wheels made a "ka-la ka-la" sound on the gravel road, and everyone in the carriage couldn't help but lean forward.

  Hua Yu hastily grabbed the soft wood under her body and barely stabilized herself.

  "What's going on?" Xu Chuyan asked nervously towards the outside.

  "The coachman hastily said: 'Madam, it seems like something is wrong with you.'"

  Aren't you in the carriage behind? What's going on? Xu Chuyan lifted a corner of the curtain, took a look outside and was startled.

  Jiang Xuanjin was standing beside the carriage shaft at some point, his face as if it had been soaked in cold water, extremely chilly.

  Xu Chuyi hastily got up and got out of the carriage, tightly covering the curtain: "Is it safe?"

  "Change horses."

  Xu Chuyan looked back at his own carriage in a daze and didn't quite understand: "This... is perfectly fine, why change carriages?"

  The mood seemed to be very bad, Jiang Xuanjin didn't say much and turned his head to walk towards the nearby woods.

  He followed the empty carriage and came to Xu's side, bowing his hands: "Master agreed with Second Young Master to take good care of Second Madam. This road is all gravel, at least two miles long. If Second Madam changes to your carriage, it will be more comfortable."

  Jiang Xuanjin's carriage was carefully crafted by skilled craftsmen and was naturally much more comfortable than ordinary carriages.

  Xu Chuannan felt a bit guilty and had intended to refuse. But thinking of Huaiyu's body, she thought for a moment and nodded her head.

  He let out a sigh of relief and, for some reason, followed them into the woods.

  Xu Chuyan lifted the car curtain and made eye contact with the people inside: "They haven't noticed this side, go quickly!"

  Everyone was very nervous, and Cui Yu was almost carried down from the car by them. Without thinking, she jumped onto Jiang Xuanjin's carriage at the back.

  "Wait." The curtains had all fallen before she came back to herself. "Purple Sun didn't notice this side, why don't we just make a run for it?"

  This place is not far from the station either, right?

  Reminded by her, Bai Xue and others regretfully patted their thighs and hurriedly lifted the car curtain to take another look.

  Zi Yang Jun brought Chong Xu with him and had already turned around and was walking towards the horse carriage.

  Xu Chuyang was still standing outside the carriage, seeing this hastily pressed down the curtain, then bowed his knee to Jiang Xuanjin from a distance: "Thank you, sir."

  Jiang Xuanjin nodded and got onto the front carriage with an expressionless face. Cheng Xu came over, still bowing to her: "Please go ahead, Second Madam."

  "Good."

  The carriage of Master Zi Yang was much more spacious than the one they had sat in before, with soft cushions and wheels that made no sound as it moved. Huai Yu sat in it, her tightly strung body finally relaxing a lot.

  But somehow there's always a feeling of being unable to get off the tiger's back?

  "Missed it." Qing Xuan muttered, "What a pity, we could have made it."

  "It's okay, anyway we haven't arrived at the station yet, I'll think of something when we get there."

  Everyone nodded, thinking that as long as Zi Yang Jun didn't become suspicious, they would find an opportunity to leave without difficulty.

  However, when the carriage arrived at the relay station, Jiang Xuanjin got down and stood beside the carriage, no matter how the people in the relay station invited him, he did not move.

  "Does Second Sister-in-law want to rest?" he asked.

  Xu Chu swallowed a mouthful of saliva and nodded: "I'm a bit tired, going in to have a cup of tea is also good."

  Jiang Xuanjin responded with a gentle "Hmm" and said: "Ben Jun has been waiting for you here."

  "What?"

  Xu Zhuniang and the people in the car behind him were all stunned.

  The autumn wind is bleak and blows over with a cool feeling. This person doesn't sit in the tea hall, doesn't drink hot tea, and wants to wait outside?

  If it were normal times, he would have wanted no one to stop him, as long as the lord was happy. But now... He has been standing here all along, how can people on the carriage pass?

  "Second sister?" Seeing her not moving, Jiang Xuanjin spoke up to remind her.

  "Come on in and take a break for a while? You're standing outside..."

  "It doesn't matter." He said calmly.

  Xu Zhuniang had nothing to say, he didn't go in, what was she going in for? Later on, if they suddenly got excited and lifted the car curtain, wouldn't that be disastrous?

  She lowered her head and said: "That... let's just hurry on our way for now?"

  Hua Yu was getting anxious in the train car, if they continued on this road and went further west, she wouldn't recognize the roads anymore. When the time came to make a run for it, who knew which way to go?

  It's possible that at this moment, there is no second choice. Xu Chuyan wouldn't dare to say harsh words to Jiang Xuanjin, whose cold face makes it impossible for her to win an argument.

  How did it become like this?

  Xu Chuchan silently sat back in the car, apparently still not understanding: "Today, we don't need to go to the high place."

  He said he couldn't leave Beijing until the case was closed, but what's going on now? He has left Beijing far away and doesn't seem to have any intention of coming back.

  "Where is Linjiang Mountain?" Li Huaiyu asked in a low voice.

  Xu Chunan replied: "Fifty miles west of Kyoto."

  Hua Yu thought for a moment and suddenly raised an eyebrow: "Isn't it just fifty miles away from Zi Yang's fief?"

  Xu Chu nodded, and Lin Jiangshan continued westward. There were several famous fiefs of the Northern Wei in that direction. The fief of Prince Zi Yang was located there. Although they had never been there before, they heard it was a very prosperous place.

  She gently clasped her palms together and let out a sigh of relief: "Then there's no need to worry."

  Want to go to the station and meet with someone, it's because she hasn't been out of Kyoto much, can't recognize the road, can't find the place she wants to go. But knowing where Zi Yang is, that direction is also easy to find.

  Ziyang's land is vast, with seven large cities and countless counties. It is the richest fief of Northern Wei. Passing through Ziyang and going further south is Danyang.

  The Danyang of Princess Danyang is not a randomly given title, but the name of a fiefdom like that of Prince Ziyang. Emperor Xiaoming was born in Danyang and designated the area south of Ziyang, with a circumference of 5,000 li, as the county of Danyang under the name of Princess Danyang.

  Li Huaiyu dared to let Xu Xian and others escape, it was because as long as they set foot in Danyang, the emperor would issue as many arrest warrants as he wanted, but still couldn't catch them.

  That was the amulet left to her by her father.

  Seeing her relaxed, Qing Xuan and others understood that there was a way out, and their expressions all softened. Xu Chuyan was still confused: "You're not escaping?"

  "Can't escape, might as well take a comfortable ride." Huai Yu smiled and patted the soft cushion beneath her, "It's quite cozy anyway."

  She was once worried that the little guy in her belly would not be able to withstand the rush, but now it's fine. The stable carriage and no one dared to check along the way made her hanging heart temporarily put down.

  But there's still a strange feeling lingering in my heart.

  This feeling reached its climax when the horse carriage arrived at Linjiang Mountain.

  "Sir, you go up the mountain first." Xu Chuyan said as he got out of the car, "The people from the mansion should all be staying at the temple on the halfway up the mountain."

  Jiang Xuanjin said in a soft voice: "Second sister, you go first, I still have something to attend to."

  What could possibly happen in this desolate wilderness? Li Huaiyu couldn't bear it anymore and kicked the carriage wall with her foot.

  With a loud "bang", Xu Chuyan outside was startled and looked at Jiang Xuanjin in alarm.

  There was only her in the car all along, she was outside, how could there be any noise inside?

  Everyone should have noticed that something was wrong. Qingxuan and others in the car were even more panicked, looking at them in a daze, Your Highness.

  However, Jiang Xuanjin glanced at the carriage and seemed as if nothing had happened, calmly saying: "If Second Aunt feels that the mountain road is difficult to walk, let Chong Xu and the coachman go ahead and clear the way."

  Li Huaiyu narrowed her eyes and directly lifted the car curtain with her hand.

  "Your Highness!" Qing Xuan called out in a low voice, "What are you doing?"

  It's not easy to get to this point, how can I let Ziyang Jun discover that I jumped out by myself?

  With a cold laugh, Li Huaiyu looked towards the person standing not far ahead and said in a low voice, "Do you really think he doesn't know anything?"

  Again, he refused to get off the bus and enter the station. At this moment, she kicked the carriage, but he didn't react. This guy obviously knew that there was something fishy about Xu Chuyan's car, but he didn't ask or look, just like teasing a fool, letting them load it all the way!

  The cyan-colored sleeve had a fresh lotus pattern embroidered on it. Jiang Xuanjin slightly lifted it up and looked back.

  Li Huaiyu's face was still pale, with a faint blackness at the center of his eyebrows, and a pair of almond eyes staring at him, with an unfriendly gaze.

  Xu Chuyan beside him was so frightened that he didn't dare speak, fearing that Jun Shang would impulsively order Cheng Xu to catch someone.

  She... stole a glance at him, and Xu Chuyan was surprised to find that Jun Shang seemed not to be surprised at all, his face didn't show any anger, only his eyes were cool, as if they had been dyed by the autumn wind.

  "Your Highness is very brave," he said.

  Propping himself against the cart shaft, he jumped down. Li Huaiyu walked step by step to his front, grabbed the Buddhist beads on his wrist, and held them in front of him: "Your courage is not small, colluding with monks to deceive the emperor and release the current offender, do you know what crime this is?"

  Looking down at her, Jiang Xuanjin said: "Your Highness plans to go back and report to me?"

  He narrowed his eyes, and Hua Yu's expression was complex: "You are being reckless and fearless."

  How could she risk her own life to go back and tell him?

  Qing Xuan and others also got off the car and followed her behind, watching Jiang Xuanyi with vigilance, full of doubts in their eyes.

  "What's going on?" Bai Xue asked in a low voice.

  Rubbing the Buddhist beads, he stroked the characters carved on the jade pendant and said, "This has to be asked of our all-powerful ruler, who actually has the ability to deceive heaven and cross the sea, and let his people enter the palace to perform a ritual for me."

  Jiang Xuanjin's ten Buddhist beads each had a character engraved on them, with a circle drawn around the outside. She didn't know what special meaning this held, but she knew that similarly engraved beads must have come from the same school.

  The high monk on the altar helped him and was closely related to Jiang Xuanjin.

  Everyone was taken aback, Xu Chuyi's eyes lit up and he asked with delight: "Sir, is this because you can't bear to part with your younger siblings?"

  Jiang Xuanjin's eyes turned cold as he said, "No."

  The two words "thin and cool" made people's hearts skip a beat. The white-haired and clear-stringed ones behind him looked at him with displeasure, standing in front of Li Huaiyu.

  However, Huai Yu seemed to have not heard his words at all, and smiled with her hands on her hips: "If you didn't mind parting with it, why would you go to such great lengths? What do you want to do?"

  "Does Your Lordship need to discuss this matter with me?"

  "It's none of your business." Hua Yu raised her eyes and looked at him, "But since it concerns me, can't you explain a couple of sentences to me?"

  He glanced at her sideways and said, "There's no need."

  For a woman who has been deceiving herself and doesn't know how many people she has in her heart, there is no need to explain so much.

  The more you explain, the more ridiculous it becomes.

  This time, even the servants couldn't understand what their master was thinking. To say he's heartless would be wrong, as he stubbornly saved someone and sent them out of Kyoto. But to say he has feelings? The face in front of him didn't have a hint of warmth.

  Hua Yu quietly looked at him for a while, then suddenly nodded.

  "Then consider it a favor I owe you," she said. "You've always been clear about debts and favors, giving one mark means taking back one mark. This favor, when the day comes that you remember, come find me to collect."

  "Where is the lady going?"

  "Are you still calling her 'Madam'?" Bai frowned, "The marriage between the Emperor and our family's princess should be called off by now, shouldn't it?"

  His body stiffened slightly, Jiang Xuanjin raised his eyes to look at him.

  Her eyes met his unflinchingly as she said, "In the interrogation room, your words still echo in my ears. Now, it seems we are to be husband and wife after all?"

  She is not Bai Zhenyi, but Li Huaiyu, the eldest princess of the Li family and Jiang Xuanjin, the Duke of Zi Yang. How can they still be husband and wife?

  The people around fell silent, Xu Chuyan looked at him, but frowned and cast his eyes on Huaiyu's belly, opening his mouth to say: What about the child?

  However, Huai Yu seemed to know what she was going to say and opened her mouth to interrupt her, saying: "Come to think of it, there's still something I forgot to give you."

  She rummaged through her sleeve pocket and pulled out an envelope, holding it up to him with both hands: "Here."

  The Book of Divorce

  The wind was not brave enough to bring it, she took it herself and brought it over.

  Staring at the three characters on the envelope for a while, Jiang Xuanjin didn't make a sound, with some anger in his eyes.

  She no longer spoiled him.

  Before, whenever he frowned, she would hug his arm and coax him. Now that he's unhappy, with discontent written all over his face, she doesn't utter a single word to comfort him either.

  Actually wrote this kind of thing.

  It was as if a stone that had been pressing down on his heart suddenly disappeared, and his heart sank rapidly, the empty feeling rushing up to his throat. Jiang Xuanjin's throat constricted slightly, and his hands slowly clenched into fists.

  "There's no such saying." He said coldly, "It's useless for you to write this, I'll write it myself."

  "What's it to me?!" She stuffed the envelope into his hand and said with a rogue smile, "That's that."

  It was she who had begged and pleaded for him to be hers, now it is also her who wants to let go in a spoiled and unreasonable manner.

  How can there be such people?

  He didn't reach out to take it, and the thin letter floated down to the ground. Huai Yu glanced at it and said to Cheng Xu behind her, "Pick it up, or else the Emperor will use this as an excuse to cause trouble for the Jiang family, and you'll all be dragged into it by me!"

  Sounds good, but in fact, you just don't want to see him again, right?

  Jiang Xuanjin's eyes sank, and he reached out to grab her wrist.

  "Huh?" Startled, Huai Yu turned her head to look at him, her pale neck tilted to the side, revealing a scar that had scabbed over.

  It was a sword wound, very shallow, only injuring the skin and flesh, but it looked quite hideous.

  It was he who got hurt.

  At that time, she was full of worries and brought people to rescue him. The door opened to his sword. His almond eyes were filled with shock and incomprehension, and later it was boundless darkness.

  He thought she was acting, but no, she really hurt at that time.

  He reached out and gently stroked the scar, Jiang Xuanjin furrowed his brow, his eyes complex, opening his mouth as if he wanted to say something.

  But before he could make a sound, the person in front of him had already removed his hand.

  That's right, gently take it away, unlike him, always roughly waving his hand.

  "Are you feeling guilty?" Looking at his eyes, Huai Yu lightly smiled, "What's there to feel guilty about? Didn't you almost die on the way to White Dragon Temple too? I treated you poorly, you treated me poorly, it's all fair between us."

  "You gave me poisoned wine, I'll use you for revenge. I want you dead, and you'll send me along with my people to the great prison."

  She recited a phrase, relaxed one of the fingers grasping his hand, and Huai Yu looked at the last remaining thumb, smiling wryly: "You saved me today, so I still owe you one. If anyone should feel ashamed, it's me who should be ashamed."

  One stroke at a time, as clear as calculating accounts, after the account was settled, the remaining debt was written off with a single note, and the two people seemed to have no relationship anymore.

  Her palm was cool to the touch, only her fingertips had temperature, and the remaining warmth was about to dissipate. He subconsciously turned his hand over and grasped her thumb.

  "You..."
