"It's different now that you have a wife. You all know how to show off." Another Taifu shook his head and sighed.
Ji Xubai accepted it calmly and had a smile in his eyes all the way to his library to see Wen Zhigu.
As soon as he opened the door, Wen Zhigu came over. Ji Xubai had to step over before her, "What happened?"
Wen Zhigu grabbed his hand and said anxiously: "Have you heard the news about the fall of Seoul? My brother is still in Seoul. He doesn't know if something is wrong... I beg you, can you go and ask the emperor to send troops for support? good?"
Ji Xubai saw that she was so panicked, so he held her hand and comforted her: "Calm down first. My sister has already entered the palace to see the saint early in the morning. General Ning and others will also enter the palace to request troops. The emperor It’s impossible to abandon Seoul at the risk of losing popular support, don’t worry.”
Wen Zhigu didn't know if it was because she was a month older and was prone to emotional ups and downs. She was so anxious that tears fell down and she choked: "But what about my brother? They said Seoul is gone. Will my brother die? My parents." They are all dead, what should I do if my brother is also dead... You always threaten me with your brother, Ji Xubai, I can do anything you ask me to do, please let my brother live, please, I beg you... "
Ji Xubai coaxed her in a low voice and wiped the tears on her face little by little, "Don't be afraid, it will be fine. I will go to the palace now to find out. Can you go home first?"
Wen knew this but still cried, scared and uneasy.
Ji Xubai could only hug her gently to comfort her.
No need to tell Wen Zhigu, he would also try every means to keep her brother alive. The only bargaining chip he had to keep her in her own identity was her brother.
Ji Xubai finally put Wen Zhigu on the carriage. Wen Zhigu was in a hurry when she came out and didn't even put on her cloak. Ji Xubai put his coat on her body and said, "You go home first." , wait at home obediently, I will come back and tell you when I get the news from the palace, okay?"
Wen Zhigu looked at him with tears in his eyes and unspeakable despair.
Ji Xubai didn't expect her to give him a reassuring look, and finally lowered the car curtain.
However, the next moment the carriage left, his subordinates came rushing from the direction of the palace on horseback and told him what happened in the palace. Ji Xubai was shocked when he heard this. His face turned pale slightly, probably because he never thought that his sister, who was always calm and rational, would do such a stupid thing...
As a Taifu, Ji Xubai knew the rules and regulations of the court very well. He knew what it meant to assassinate the emperor.
Ji Xubai immediately rushed back to the Taifu Courtyard and wrote a letter of divorce. When he finally wrote his name, his fingers paused slightly.
You know, his wife.
The lady who was showing off in front of the masters not long ago.
Gone.
Ji Xubai closed his eyes slightly and finally wrote.
He took the written divorce letter and rode back home as quickly as possible.
Wen Zhigu listened to Ji Xubai's words and returned to Qingyu Garden to wait for news about him.
But what she didn't expect was that not long after she returned to Qingyu Garden, she heard Ji Xubai's footsteps coming back. Wen Zhi stood up and ran out to open the door.
Ji Xubai's face was very cold, completely different from just before.
Wen Zhigu pulled his hand, "What did the emperor say? Has he agreed to send troops? Can Seoul be saved?"
