There are consequences to being a traitorous official.
First: Being born into a loyal official's family. She felt out of place and uncomfortable all over.
Second: Following her loya...
Sisi wasn't worried about that.
However, we must always leave some hope for others.
Otherwise, if someone tries to fight you to the death, you'll suffer a huge loss.
Sisi, hands on her hips, glared at Fourteen and said, "You surnamed Tian! Do you want to hang yourself from a tree again?"
The man surnamed Tian felt a little better. He said, "Just wait to go to the palace and count grains of rice," and then quickly left.
Sisi sat down in the chair. "Phew...finally I don't have to pretend to be a lady anymore."
After sitting for a while, Sisi went to find Lao Bai.
Old Bai is playing chess with Old Hei. Since having children, Old Bai's temperament has become more stable than before. In the past, he would definitely be marrying Old Hei by now. Old Hei now has a full head of white hair and his face is full of wrinkles.
When Lao Hei saw Sisi arrive, he asked, "Did you tell him?"
"Hmm. Follow him and see if he's genuinely trying to teach Twelve and Hei Bao, or if he's just using them to get revenge on me?"
“If he’s genuinely interested in teaching me, then I’ll let him yell at me. If he’s looking to take revenge on me by any means necessary, then I’ll find him a peaceful place to live out his days.”
"As for his attempt to win over Twelve and the others, and Hei Bao and the others? Let him try if he has the ability. As long as he doesn't intentionally corrupt Twelve and the others and Hei Bao and the others, that's fine."
When Sisi decided to bring Fourteen to the border, she thought that Fourteen might hear those legends about her.
Firstly, most of her legends took place on the border.
Secondly, the people on the border are bolder than those in the capital.
Therefore, when Sisi left the capital, she told Lao Hei that she would wait for her at the border in three months.
Even if she trusted Fourteen's character, she wouldn't just leave Twelve and the others, along with Hei Bao and the others, to him and abandon them.
They were mortal enemies in their past lives.
Old Hei nodded to indicate he understood. "You two be careful too."
"Okay." Sisi took a chair and sat down between Lao Hei and Lao Bai. "Are you two almost done playing? Come play a couple of rounds with me when you're done."
Upon hearing this, Lao Hei and Lao Bai immediately said, "You should go and find His Highness the Crown Prince instead of torturing us."
"He's not here, so why don't you guys play a couple of games with me? Just two games."
Old Hei: "Go find Xiao Mumu."
Old Bai: "Yes, yes, go find Xiao Mumu. When you promised to keep your aunt and Xiao Mumu safe for two years, didn't you tell your aunt that Xiao Mumu would have to play chess with you from now on?"
Sisi laughed as soon as she heard that. "I had forgotten about it if you two hadn't mentioned it." When her aunt was pregnant with Xiao Mumu, there was war going on everywhere, and her aunt was afraid of being a burden to everyone and didn't dare to have the baby.
"Once I get back to the capital, I'll go collect the debt from my aunt. Now, you two play two games with me, just two."
Sisi pleaded with Lao Hei and Lao Bai for a long time, but they still didn't agree.
Sisi was heartbroken. "Old Hei, you don't love me anymore."
Old Black: "Hmm."
Sisi: "..." Is my chess skill really that bad?
Old Bai: "Hahahaha... You should wait until you return to the capital to see His Highness the Crown Prince."
Sisi stared longingly at Lao Hei for a long time, but Lao Hei didn't soften his heart.
Meanwhile, after returning to his room, Fourteen began calling for the King of Hell. "King of Hell, come out here! Come out!"
King Yama was wondering why that beautiful woman who had just arrived in the underworld had no grievances. If he were there, wouldn't he be able to stand up for her? Wouldn't they get to know each other better over time? Once they were familiar, they could have a meal together, admire the moon, and chat.
Neither the siblings got what they wanted.
The next day, just as Sisi was about to go to find Yun Yuxuan, Yun Yuxuan arrived. "Xiao Liu, are you free today?"
"Yes, what's wrong?"
"Uncle wants to tell you how he has been managing the border these past few years. Can you help Uncle see where he has done a poor job?"
"OK."
"Also, I'd like to ask you, are you going to let those barbarian soldiers you captured continue farming or what?"
Sisi laughed as soon as she heard that. "Uncle, we're on the same page. I was just about to tell you about those barbarian soldiers."
"Then let's go to my study to talk."
"good."
Upon arriving at the study, Yun Yuxuan was about to report to Sisi when Sisi looked at him and said, "Old Bai and I are going to the barbarian tribe."
Yun Yuxuan was stunned upon hearing this. "What are you going there for?"
"Look at how they're doing now? And look at how many soldiers they have?"
"This..." Yun Yuxuan felt it was too dangerous. "Just send a few spies. Uncle has plenty of good spies under his command."
"I want to go by myself."
"It's too dangerous."
"It's okay, I'm ready."
Yun Yuxuan still didn't want Sisi to go. "Does the Crown Prince know you're going to the barbarian tribes?"
“I know. The Crown Prince also helped me find several people familiar with the barbarians. I also found a few people who had been to the barbarians and done business with them.”
"...Then...then your uncle will send you a few people."
"Okay. Thank you, Uncle."
"Don't mention it. How long are you planning to stay?"
"It could take anywhere from three or four months to a year. Let's send them back after they've been here for a month or two."
"Okay. Uncle, have your aunt take them back."
"No need. Let them go back on their own."
"Myself?" Yun Yuxuan's eyes widened in surprise.
Sisi nodded. "I taught them a lot of things before they came, and I want to see if they've learned them."
"This...this..." This is too audacious!
"With the guards there, everything is fine."
"What if the guards cause problems?"
Sisi looked at Yun Yuxuan and said, "If there's a problem with the guards, there's still Lao Hei."
