Zi'an knew that he should confess everything tonight. The situation was unclear now and they didn't know what would happen tomorrow.
Let him know, at least I am no longer hiding anything from him.
"My original name is Xia Zian. I am not from the Great Zhou Dynasty. In other words, I am not from this era. The era I live in is probably at least several hundred to thousands of years away from now..." She really didn't know which dynasty this dynasty corresponded to her own history. Judging from the progress of civilization, she could infer that it was during the Tang and Song dynasties.
Murong Jie was somewhat confused by the opening words of this story, and blurted out Dao Lao Da's hometown dialect, "What did you say? What?"
"Be patient, you will understand if you listen slowly. In my time, I was a special military doctor. The special agent group I belonged to was our country's anti-enemy special agent group. We accepted confidential missions, so there were special military doctors. I was the special military doctor of the special agent group. I had two roles. Sometimes I was a military doctor and sometimes I was a special agent. I also needed to go on missions. I was betrayed by my leader... my superior during a mission, and I was shot... A gun is a weapon, not the long spear and red tassel spear we see now. Oh, don't dwell on this. Anyway, I died in my time, and when I woke up, I didn't know how I became Xia Zian of your time. When I woke up, Murong Qiao and Chen Linglong, mother and daughter, were forcing me to marry King Liang. At that time, my body was seriously injured and I couldn't resist. I could only agree first. After that, everything you know happened."
Murong Jie reached out and touched her forehead, a little nervous, "Wife, are you okay?"
"Do you think I'm talking nonsense?" Zi'an knew he wouldn't believe it. Anyone who believed such a ridiculous thing would be an idiot.
"Are you trying to fool me or are you talking nonsense?" Murong Jie asked back.
Zi'an didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Everything I said is true."
"Forget it, if you don't want to tell it, then forget it. I shouldn't force you. Everyone should have their own secrets, you have them, and I have them too." Murong Jie said lightly.
Zi'an's hair stood up when he heard this. "I rarely muster up the courage to tell you about my story, but you still don't believe me? Do you think I... No, you just said that everyone has their own secrets. Do you have them too? What is your secret?"
Murong Jie said slowly, "Why do you care about me? You should think about how to make up your story. Don't mention ghost possession or anything like that. If you tell others, people will think you are crazy."
"Forget it. I told you the truth but you still don't believe it. I won't say it anymore." Zi'an seemed extremely frustrated. He had thought that he would believe part of it, but he didn't expect him to deny it completely and think she was crazy.
She stood up and said, "Please sit for a while. I'll go out and ask someone to make you some midnight snack. After you eat, take a shower and go to bed."
Murong Jie looked at her back, and his brows slowly frowned.
Although what Zian said was absurd, he believed it.
It is because he believes in it that he is worried. If her identity is known to others, they will definitely make a big fuss about it. This ghostly matter is what the emperor hates most.
Even if we exclude the emperor, what about the other ministers? Wouldn't Prince Nan Huai and others seize on this point to frame him
Therefore, he had to prevent her from telling anyone and not let anyone know about it.
Her identity will be investigated sooner or later, because her personality is so different now. No one is making a fuss about her now, but what about after he leaves? All swords will be pointed at her.
Zi'an didn't know his good intentions, so she thought about it for a while while making supper, and came back to say to him: "Actually, I was lying to you just now. I just don't want to admit that I am Xia Huaijun's daughter, but there is no way to change my origin. I have to admit it even if I don't want to."
Murong Jie smiled and said, "This king knew it was like this."
He ate two bowls of porridge and two steamed buns, and there was no other dish. They were all leftovers from dinner. Changsheng Palace had its own small kitchen, so he didn't have to bother the imperial kitchen.
Seeing him eat voraciously, Zi'an knew that he had been suffering recently. With red eyes, he poured him a glass of wine and said, "Take a sip. It will help you sleep better."
Murong Jie looked at her strangely, "How rare! You actually poured wine for me personally? Aren't you against me drinking?"
"It's better than drinking vinegar, which hurts your stomach." Zi'an still doesn't understand why he always drinks vinegar and sometimes forces her to drink it.
"Drinking vinegar is my little secret, I won't tell you." Murong Jie said proudly.
"Okay, you can talk about it or not." She stood up and wanted to prepare a bath for him.
Murong Jie held her hand and said, "Zi'an, I have something to tell you."
Zi'an saw that his expression suddenly became serious, and he couldn't help but get nervous, "What's the matter?"
Murong Jie looked at her and said, "This king intends to lead the troops to the battle."
Zi'an's expression suddenly changed. "You want to lead the army? Didn't you say that you want the Marquis to lead the troops?"
"No, I will lead my troops to fight against the Northern Desert Army, while Lord Xiao will resist the Xianbei."
Zi'an's heart tightened, "Are you sure Xianbei and Beimo are colluding?"
"We received the news today and it has been confirmed."
Zi'an was immediately confused. He was going to the battlefield? But the battlefield was dangerous. Who could guarantee that he would come back alive
"But, if you go to war, what will happen to the government? You are the regent!"
"I have already met the Emperor, and the Emperor has agreed that Prince Liang and my second brother will be regents for the time being."
"Have you decided?" Zi'an was a little angry. Couldn't he come back to discuss it first? Did he mean to come back and let them know
"How can I decide? Didn't I come back to ask you? If you don't agree, I will go and tell the emperor to let him go to the war on his own." Murong Jie said righteously.
Zi'an glanced at him and said, "You have made up your mind. You came back to inform me. Whether I agree or not, you will go, right?"
No wonder he had a headache, no wonder he sighed when he came back, no wonder he said he wanted to know about her, it turned out that he was going to lead troops to fight.
After hearing what she said, Murong Jie stopped joking and said seriously, "My Great Zhou is fighting against the Northern Desert and Xianbei at the same time. Obviously, the troops are not enough. The only way is to boost the morale of the army. If the emperor is not sick, he will definitely lead the army in person this time. The emperor's army is invincible. You just made up that you are a military doctor or something, but you have been in the army before, so you should understand what I am talking about."
When Zi'an heard this, he knew that there was no way to stop him, and there was no reason to stop him. He was originally a general and he belonged to the battlefield. He was extremely fed up with being caught up in all kinds of political troubles and conspiracies, so he might as well go out and fight a battle.
She said, "Since you have made up your mind, although I don't want you to go, I can only support you. But you have to promise me that you will come back the same way you left. I won't accept you even if you lose an arm or a leg or even a hair."
Murong Jie hugged her tightly, "Zi'an, I promise, I promise you, I will return victoriously."
Zi'an laid her head on his chest, her nose sore. Her man was going to the war, and just like what the ancient poem said, from now on she could only stare at the city gate and wait for him to return.
How many people have been killed by war and ambition
