Xie Nanjia changed her clothes and went to see the fake Yunshu. When she got there, she found that the real Yunshu had also arrived. The two girls stood opposite each other. At first glance, they looked somewhat similar.
Except for Yun Shu, Zhao Jingyu, Xie Nanfeng, and Zhou Yuncheng, Cheng Zhiye was the only one missing. I don't know if he didn't want to come or if he didn't get the news.
Xie Nanjia wanted to ask Zhou Yuncheng, but it was difficult to ask directly in front of everyone, so he walked over slowly and asked them if they had asked anything.
"She refused to say it." Xie Nanfeng stepped in front of Zhao Jingyu to prevent him from talking to his sister. He said to Xie Nanjia, "She only said she wanted to see you and nothing else."
Zhao Jingyu was at a loss and had no choice but to step back with a guilty conscience, looking at Xie Nanjia aggrievedly over Xie Nanfeng's shoulder.
Xie Nanjia couldn't help it. The brat broke into their intimacy and they were awkward at the moment. What else could she do but let him go
"Why do you want to see me?" She smiled slightly and her eyes fell on the fake Yunshu's face: "How should I call you?"
The girl was silent for a moment, lowered her eyelashes and said, "I have no father, no mother, and no name. I am numbered eleven under the second prince, so just call me eleven."
"Eleven?" Xie Nanjia repeated, not bothering to find out whether it was true or not, and asked her again, "Your master is dead, why do you want to come back and throw yourself into a trap?"
When asking this question, she secretly hoped that this girl came back to look for him because she couldn't let go of Cheng Zhiye. If that was the case, she would rather give up all responsibilities on her as long as she could be with Cheng Zhiye.
However, things didn't go as she hoped. Eleven just said expressionlessly: "I'm here to find you."
"What are you doing with me?" Xie Nanjia asked.
Eleven said: "I have been working for the second prince since I was ten years old, and I have never made any mistakes. I want to know, when did you start to doubt me, and where did I show my flaws?"
Xie Nanjia raised her eyebrows in surprise and took a few steps back and forth in front of her: "So, you took such a big risk to come back just to figure out this problem?"
"Yes." Eleven said, "I won't rest in peace until I ask this question clearly."
Xie Nanjia was slightly disappointed. It seemed that this girl had no interest in Cheng Zhiye at all.
After all, Cheng Zhiye made the mistake of showing his true feelings.
"Well, since you are so curious, I will tell you." She stood in front of Eleven and said seriously, "I had doubted you when we were in the capital, but you tore up the marriage contract in front of me , which made me dispel my doubts about you and think that you are just a silly girl with no intentions. I even feel guilty for robbing you of your marriage, and I am determined to take good care of you with the second young master.
From then on until you suddenly ran to Fuxiang Palace and rescued me from Song Jingxing, I always trusted you. However, when we were hiding in the fake cave, you probably didn't even care about what you said. But it aroused my suspicion. "
"What are you talking about?" Eleven asked impatiently.
Xie Nanjia raised her lips and smiled: "You said you didn't know the road and ran into Xiangfu Palace by mistake. When you heard someone talking about Phoenix Life's Daughter, you guessed that I should be inside, so you sneaked in to take a look."
Eleven had long forgotten her original words at that time, but she didn't expect Xie Nanjia to still remember them so clearly. She didn't feel there was anything wrong when she said them at that time. When she looked at them carefully now, her heart skipped a beat.
"You've already thought of it, right?" Xie Nanjia smiled and watched the change in her face, and didn't mind making it more clear, "Xiangfu Palace is heavily guarded. In order to protect Song Jingxing's safety, the palace is full of guards, with one post every five steps. , every step of the way, how could you, a little girl who had been tortured, slip in? The only possibility is that someone let you in deliberately so that you can trick me into looking for the Red Order.
Later, we followed the guard out of the palace. The leader said that they were ordered by the second prince to catch the assassin. I guessed that you must be the second prince's man, otherwise we would not have been able to follow so close without being discovered. "
After listening, Eleven fell into a long silence.
She thought about this question for a long time. She always thought it was at Zhao Jingyu's old residence that day. Xie Nanjia suddenly asked her father's name. She did not answer immediately, which aroused Xie Nanjia's suspicion.
She had no father or mother since she was a child. When she was suddenly asked her father's name, she was stunned. She regretted it afterwards, for fear that it would expose her. She never thought that Xie Nanjia had seen through her long before that.
"So, you didn't actually sleep that night, right?" she asked frustratedly.
"Yes, I was not asleep, so I followed your accomplice to find Yun Shu." Xie Nanjia said, "Yun Shu said that you came to her house a few months ago, pretending to beg for water, and restrained her when she was not prepared. , forcing her to hand over the Red Clothes Order, she was forced to hand over half of it, and tricked you into going to the capital to find the other half. In fact, the other half was in the dark layer of her wardrobe, so I knew that there was a dark layer in that wardrobe. "
"I see." Eleven finally figured out the reason for his failure. He looked up to the sky and sighed, and said quietly, "I am convinced that I lost to you."
Xie Nanjia smiled indifferently: "Then have you ever thought about the consequences of being caught by us?"
"Winning a king or losing a bandit means death at worst!" Eleven said, "I have learned this skill since I was a child. Now that my master is dead, my life has no meaning. I just ask you to give me a happy life! "
"No, you can't die!" A shout suddenly came from outside the tent, and then, Cheng Zhiye rushed in like a gust of wind. His eyes were red, and he rushed straight to Yun Shu, "An ant can still survive, why do you have to do it so easily?" Give up your life?"
Everyone was startled by him, and then retreated tacitly.
This is a knot in his heart that he can only untie himself.
Anyway, none of them wanted Shi Yi's life, and it didn't matter even if he let him go privately.
Of course, if he could convince her to stay, that would be fine too.
In the big tent, Eleven looked at Cheng Zhiye calmly: "Whether I live or die is none of your business, why do you care about me?"
"Because I treat you as a friend." Cheng Zhiye said.
"Come on, you might as well just say that you like me." Eleven said sarcastically, "Cheng Zhiye, are you stupid? How could you like me? You've just never been scolded before, so you think I have nothing to do with you." It’s different. You don’t call it liking, it’s just a good impression at best. A person will have a good impression of many people in his life. This is nothing. It’s like a new face suddenly comes to the flower house you often go to, or the restaurant you often eat suddenly opens. A new dish may feel very fresh to you at first, but as time goes by, you will realize that it is nothing more than that. So, wake up and don’t waste your time on me, or I will be burdened to death, okay?”
Cheng Zhiye was completely stunned.
Is this calm, mean, sharp-eyed woman still the silly, simple and unruly Yun Shu he knew
If they had to say something in common, it might be that they were still so merciless when scolding him.
At this moment, he suddenly felt inexplicably comforted. He felt that no matter what Yun Shu had become, her attitude towards him was still the same as before. Does this mean that he was still different from others in her heart
"You came back not only to find out the reason for your failure, but you also care about me, right?" He was not affected at all, but became brighter and brighter in his eyes.
Eleven rolled her eyes at him with disdain: "You really know how to be sentimental. Since you don't give up, I might as well tell you the truth. I do have another purpose for coming back, but it's not for you. I just want to see Er again." Young Master.”
Cheng Zhiye paused suddenly, and the light in his eyes dimmed instantly.
"What did you say?" He murmured, "You are lying to me, you must be lying to me..."
"I'm not lying to you." Eleven said, "I fell in love with the second young master at the first sight. I even thought that if he was willing to acknowledge the engagement and marry me, I would give it up. After losing his current identity, he will never return to Yuze and will stay with him for the rest of his life.
It's a pity that no matter how hard I try, he only has sleeves in his eyes. I'm not a stalker. After seeing the way the old lady of the Hou Mansion punishes her servants, I also feel that I am not suitable to live in such an environment. Then she put away her thoughts and hid her love for the second young master deep in her heart.
At that time, I really didn’t want to deceive him anymore, so I tore up the marriage contract, gave the jade to Xiu’er, and planned to leave. But I didn’t expect that the second young master would suddenly ask me to stay in the capital and buy me a house. To be honest, I was really moved. I thought that even if I couldn't be with him, it would be good as long as I could stay in the capital and see him often.
I was ready to stay, even if the second prince would hunt me down for this, I would not hesitate to do so. But who would have thought, I was captured by the eldest prince again by some strange combination of circumstances, and the second prince secretly released me from prison. He was released from prison and asked me to continue performing the mission. If I didn't agree, he threatened me with the lives of other brothers in the organization. I had no choice but to continue to act according to his instructions.
I say all this not to tell you my last resort, but to let you understand that everything I do has nothing to do with you. Do you understand? "
Cheng Zhiye stood motionless and didn't answer, his heart sinking into the abyss.
It turns out that she is not incapable of emotion, but the object of her emotion is not him.
Yes, which woman in the world can resist the charm of the second young master? She spent time with Zhao Jingyu in the Hou Mansion. How could she not like Zhao Jingyu but fall in love with him
It seems that he is really wishful thinking.
However, what she said before was so plausible. Wasn't she also attracted to Zhao Jingyu at the first sight? Why did she think that his first attraction was a novelty
"This is unfair!" He said aggrievedly, "You said I only have a good impression of you, but how could you know that you don't have a good impression of Zhao Jingyu? Since a good impression is nothing, then can you put him down and try to start over with me?"
Seeing that he kept getting into trouble, Shiyi couldn't help but get very angry and yelled at him: "Why can't you make sense? What good do I have to deserve you to beg me in such a low voice? You are the young master of the Shilang Mansion and the right-hand man of His Royal Highness. The future is limitless. Will your family let you marry an enemy spy who doesn’t even have a name? Can you please be smarter? "
Cheng Zhiye was stunned by her yelling, and said: "I..."
"What are you?" Eleven interrupted him impatiently, "I already told you that I don't like you, but you're not done yet. Don't you bother me? Get out of here. I don't want to see you again. Hurry up and get out of my sight." Disappear, don’t delay my reincarnation!”
Cheng Zhiye finally couldn't bear it anymore, looked at her deeply, turned around and strode away.
"It's over, I've given up completely this time." Zhou Yuncheng whispered from the shadows on the side of the tent, "If I had known this, I wouldn't have given them a chance to be alone together."
"Wouldn't it be nice to make him give up?" Zhao Jingyu said, "Eleven is right. Cheng Zhiye has a bright future. Mr. Cheng and his wife will never allow him to marry a woman who has been a spy."
"I don't want to marry you either. After all, I like you." Xie Nanjia said sourly from the side.
Zhao Jingyu liked her jealous look and coaxed her softly: "So what, I like you anyway."
Xie Nanjia couldn't help laughing. When she turned around and saw Xie Nanfeng's resentful eyes, she quickly stopped laughing, glared at Zhao Jingyu, and said sternly: "No nonsense!"
Cheng Zhiye stayed up all night, and after suffering all night, he set off back to the capital with Xie Nanjia and Zhou Yuncheng early the next morning.
In Zhou Yuncheng's words, his heart has turned into a pile of dead ashes, and there is nothing left for him to miss here.
Zhao Jingyu and Xie Nanfeng sent them out of Youyun Pass, and everyone said goodbye reluctantly and went their separate ways.
Because Xie Nanfeng was following him, Zhao Jingyu didn't even dare to hold Xie Nanjia's hand before leaving, feeling quite regretful.
Xie Nanjia felt uncomfortable thinking that we would not be able to see each other for a long time after this separation, and she was depressed along the way.
Only Zhou Yuncheng was excited because he could finally see his fourth lady.
Thinking about Zhao Jingyu and then Cheng Zhiye, at this moment, he felt that he was the happiest person in the world.
In order to prevent someone from hijacking the prison car on the road, Xie Zhanting sent a team of 1,000 people to escort them back to Beijing, so the journey was safe and without any accidents.
Xie Nanjia was eager to return home and led his team to travel day and night. Half a month later, the group arrived in the capital after a long journey.
Song Wanji learned of their return in advance and sent more than a dozen high-ranking officials to greet them at the North City Gate. They were ushered into the palace with triumphant songs and songs.
All the civil and military officials of the dynasty were waiting in the main hall. Xie Nanjia and Zhou Yuncheng and Cheng Zhiye escorted King Yuze to the front of the hall to explain the situation of the battle in detail.
Her voice was clear and elegant, her narration was clear, and her rhythm was lively. She told a thrilling story about a war, and the civil and military officials in the court were fascinated by it and wished she could keep talking.
After she finished speaking, the civil and military officials praised her one after another, and the compliments were endless.
"Your Majesty is so lucky to have such a wonderful daughter-in-law. The Crown Princess is amazingly talented and beautiful, and she is not inferior to men. She is truly a blessing to my country!"
"Yes, yes, the Crown Princess is worthy of being the daughter of Phoenix. She will definitely protect my kingdom and make it prosperous for generations to come!"
"The little Duke has raised a good daughter!"
Su Xian didn't expect that he would also become the object of congratulations. Looking at his daughter who had lost weight again, he felt proud and distressed.
The more Song Wanji looked at his daughter-in-law, the more he liked him. He suddenly thought of something, raised his hand to signal the ministers to be quiet, and said happily: "Didn't you just say that Concubine Shu gave birth and there was no one to manage the harem? Do you want me to establish a queen again? Establishing a queen is a big deal. Don’t act too hastily. Since you all say that the Crown Princess is capable, I thought it would be better to let her take care of the harem for Concubine Shu for a few months. What do you think?"
Xie Nanjia: "..."
What the hell? I just came back. I have traveled thousands of miles and been in a dusty road. Can't you let me take a breather
