"Then what do you want me to do for you?" Chu Lingyi almost squeezed out these words from between her teeth.

Xiao Jingming was used to controlling her. He only felt that she hated him, but her love must be greater than her hate. After hearing this, he couldn't help but smile smugly, then quickly restrained himself and raised his hand to touch her face gently.

"I just wanted to come see you. As long as you are doing well, I will be satisfied. I don't need you to do anything for me."

He showed a hesitant look after saying this: "But this is the Empress's territory after all. I can't always accompany you."

He said affectionately, "You are the only one I love in my heart, but I have no choice but to leave now. When I can regroup and conquer the world, I will definitely marry you with the whole world as a betrothal gift."

The next moment he suddenly hugged Chu Lingyi and said painfully, "When I think about being separated from you, I feel so miserable that I want to die, Lingyi."

Chu Lingyi numbly let him hang there, only a sarcastic sneer on her lips: "You are in agony at the thought of being separated from me, but you saw with your own eyes that I had my legs broken and was thrown into a tiger cage. How come you are still alive now?"

Xiao Jingming's expression froze: "That...that was the decision of Dad and Big Brother. I was against it. Seeing you injured, I was the most heartbroken. I wish I could take your place..."

Chu Lingyi interrupted him angrily: "Why are you so heartbroken? The one I'm most worried about is my brother!"

Xiao Jingming even retorted: "It's all because of your brother. If he had accepted my father's invitation and pledged allegiance to us earlier, you wouldn't have suffered this."

He pushed the blame away without hesitation and with confidence.

Chu Lingyi took a deep breath and closed her eyes, unwilling to look at him.

It's hard to imagine that she was deceived by such a hypocritical and ugly man.

So blind!

"Lingyi, don't be angry. I really know I was wrong and I won't do it again. From now on, I'll let you decide everything for me, okay?"

Does he know he is wrong? He has done nothing wrong. He is a hypocritical and selfish scum. He has done nothing wrong.

She was wrong. She was blind and thought he was a good man. She gave her true heart to him, which hurt herself and almost hurt her brother.

"Stop talking."

Chu Lingyi opened her eyes, all her emotions suppressed in a calm state: "What do you want me to do for you?"

Xiao Jingming stared at her expression. This woman who was always at his disposal suddenly became a little hard for him to understand.

He continued to be hypocritical: "Lingyi, what nonsense are you talking about? I just wanted to come and see you. I don't need you to do anything."

Chu Lingyi: "Now that you've finished reading, you can go now."

Xiao Jingming came here with a purpose, so how could he really leave?

"We just met, and you're sending me away?"

When we are in love with each other, we can't bear to be apart for a moment, and we miss each other every moment.

After the friendship is severed, every look is filled with hatred and every moment is filled with disgust.

"Since we are in love, I can help you one last time. If you don't want to tell me, forget it."

Seeing Chu Lingyi's cold eyes, Xiao Jingming knew that he could not win her heart back for the time being, but Chu Lingyi was willing to help him one last time to prove that she still loved him.

"Lingyi, don't worry, I will definitely come back to find you, return everything I owe you, and let you live a good life."

Chu Lingyi just looked at him without saying anything.

Xiao Jingming knew that it would be useless to continue with his sweet talk. After hesitating, he tentatively said, "Can you take me to where the empress lives? She took away my father's things, and I want to go look for them."

After saying that, he added caringly, "Can you help me? If it's difficult, forget it. I don't blame you."

Don't blame her? Shouldn't she be grateful?

"OK."

Chu Lingyi agreed.

Then he slowly stood up, as if suddenly thinking of something, and asked him, "Do you need a weapon to defend yourself? I happen to have a Silver Armor Guard's sword here."

Xiao Jingming's eyes lit up: "That's great, where is it?"

Chu Lingyi used a crutch: "Don't move, I'll get it."

She slowly walked to the side, opened the cabinet and took out a knife. She held the handle and handed the scabbard to Xiao Jingming: "Here."

Xiao Jingming quickly reached out to take it, but didn't take it away at once.

He looked up in confusion: "Lingyi?"

Chu Lingyi didn't know what she was thinking about, but she smiled faintly: "Hold it tight, don't drop it."

Xiao Jingming was shaken by the smile and subconsciously tightened his grip. The next moment, he felt a weight in his hand and a cold light flashed before his eyes.

"ah......"

A scream, heart-wrenching.

Chu Lingyi opened the door with a crutch in one hand and a knife in the other. She looked at the silver-armored guards standing at the door, not knowing how long they had been standing there or listening.

"Please inform your majesty that the fugitive Xiao Jingming is here."

Chu Lingyi couldn't kill anyone yet, but she avenged her broken leg with her own hands.

A moment later, Xiao Jingming, who had fainted from the pain, was dragged out of the house, with a silver-armored guard behind him dragging a broken leg.

Looking at Xiao Jingming who had lost a leg and the blood all along the way, Chu Lingyi breathed a sigh of relief. They had nothing to do with each other anymore.

Without love, there will be no more hatred.

Xiao Li was exhausted after the journey back, so he washed up and went to bed.

After waking up, Hongyue came in to serve and reported: "Your Majesty, General Yang said that Xiao Jingming's leg was cut off by Chu Lingyi. He lost too much blood and died."

What a tragic death.

"knew."

A head popped in from behind the screen: "Your Majesty, may I come in?"

Xiao Li glanced at him and said nothing.

Wang Wanqing jumped in immediately and helped Xiao Li tidy up her clothes with Hongyue.

"Your Majesty is finally back. I missed you so much."

Xiao Li glanced at her lazily: "Speak properly."

Wang Wanqing felt wronged: "I just speak nicely."

His Majesty went to the war, and she hasn't been able to see Him for more than ten days. She has to face that group of annoying old men every day, which is so annoying.

After Xiao Li finished washing up, he went to eat. Wang Wanqing and Hongyue were setting the dishes together. Xiao Li pulled her aside and said, "Sit down. Tell me about your achievements these days."

Speaking of this, Wang Wanqing became very excited.

He chattered a lot, like a child who finished a test and felt that he knew the answer to every question, and proudly talked about his thinking behind the answers.

Hearing her apply the Silver Armor Army's hierarchical responsibility management system to military learning, Xiao Li nodded in affirmation.

Soldiers of the previous level manage those of the next level, conduct regular assessments, and assign responsibilities.

If it was only used to learn literacy, it would be a bit of a waste of talent. However, Xiao Li originally wanted to implement such a system, but time was tight and he didn't have time. Wang Wanqing started with learning, which was considered a small achievement.

"Learn and apply what you have learned, that's good."

Wang Wanqing instantly smiled like a flower. She was praised by His Majesty! Happy!

Of course, she mentioned her own contributions, but she did not forget Jiang Zhou, who was exploited to the point of collapse.

Although he was held hostage here, he still had good abilities.

Your Majesty is short of manpower, so there is no need to feel sorry for this being delivered to your door.
