"Your Highness, you..." Ye Xiao moved his lips slightly and said. In fact, he had always been by the Crown Prince's side and knew that the Crown Prince had always felt guilty towards Prince Han.
"Let's have a midnight snack and prepare the horses," Ji Mosheng insisted, turning around.
Ye Xiao didn't stop him anymore and obediently went down to prepare the horse. He had only taken two steps when he heard Jing Xi say, "Ye Xiao, I want to go too. Prepare a horse for me as well."
Ji Mosheng and Ye Xiao looked at Jing Xi in surprise, but Jing Xi generously allowed them to look her over.
Ji Mosheng said helplessly, "Miss Jing, the situation on the battlefield is unpredictable. It would be safer for you to stay in Yunzhou City."
Jing Xi disagreed, saying, "Ji Mosheng, I know the battlefield better than you do." Jing Xi said confidently and excitedly. She had been living a peaceful life for too long, and now, just hearing about war made her tremble with excitement, her body covered in blood.
Seeing Jing Xi's confident expression, Ji Mosheng stopped trying to dissuade her. He knew that the girl in front of him was no ordinary person. She was free-spirited, highly skilled in martial arts, even stronger than some men. She shouldn't be confined to one place; she was more like an eagle soaring in the sky, destined to rise high.
"Oh, right, go to the Fulai Inn in the east of the city and find someone from Jiang Bai's group. Tell him I went to the military camp outside the city," Jing Xi said, her brows slightly furrowed.
The Crown Prince's guards stared blankly at their prince. No one had ever commanded his guards in front of him before. The Crown Prince seemed gentle, but in reality, he kept people at arm's length and was difficult to approach. This young lady was quite an unexpected surprise.
Ji Mosheng was slightly surprised and said, "Miss Jingxi, aren't you afraid that Young Master Jiang will misunderstand if you go to the military camp outside the city with me like this?"
Jing Xi rolled her eyes speechlessly and asked, "What misunderstanding? You and me?"
Ji Mosheng said with a smile, "I am a member of the royal family, and countless women in the capital are fond of me. How come you are full of disdain for me? Before I came here, I heard that the women in the capital made a list of the men they most want to marry, and I should be number one."
Jing Xi had no choice but to say, "Your Highness is very good, but he is not suitable for me."
Undeterred, Ji Mosheng asked, "Miss Jing, what do you think is wrong with me?"
Upon hearing this, Jing Xi looked earnestly at Ji Mosheng and said, "Your Highness also knows that at the Hundred Flowers Banquet, Jing Xi said that her greatest desire was to be with one person for life. Obviously, Your Highness, with your status, cannot achieve that. Furthermore, Your Highness will be the one to inherit the throne in the future, so Your Highness's wife will certainly be willing to accompany Your Highness for the rest of her life in the palace. But what Jing Xi dreams of is a free life, and she cannot give up her freedom for a man. Finally, Jing Xi is of lowly status and knows that she is not worthy of Your Highness. Therefore, it is clear that Jing Xi is not Your Highness's good match, and Your Highness is not Jing Xi's good match either."
Ji Mosheng knew that Jing Xi was telling the truth; just as she said, they were completely mismatched. However, Ji Mosheng still refused to give up, stubbornly saying, "What about Jiang Bai? How do you know he's willing to marry only you in this life? How do you know he'll give up inheriting the Jiang family's wealth to travel the world with you?" He was truly unwilling to accept this!
"I do." Jiang Bai's resolute voice came from afar. He was grinning from ear to ear when he saw Jing Xi so firmly reject the Crown Prince.
Oh dear, Jingxi doesn't like His Highness the Crown Prince, she only likes him, what should I do? Jiang Bai thought to himself, then he might as well reluctantly agree to Jingxi's request, hehe.
Ji Mosheng choked for a moment upon hearing Jiang Bai's voice. His image as a wise and valiant man was ruined! He had been talking about someone behind their back, and now the other person had overheard him. How embarrassing!
Jiang Bai, completely unaware of the situation, happily ran to Ji Mosheng and Jing Xi's side, looking at Jing Xi earnestly and emphasizing again, "Jing Xi, I'm willing."
Jing Xi looked at Ji Mosheng, who was completely embarrassed, and Jiang Bai, who was oblivious to everything, and inexplicably wanted to laugh, but she held it back.
Ji Mosheng: You don't care about my life or death at all, do you? I'm just part of your game?
Jiang Bai was dissatisfied. He had already expressed his feelings, yet Jing Xi hadn't reacted at all. So, he leaned closer to Jing Xi and said again earnestly, "Jing Xi, don't you believe me? I'm willing. I'm willing to marry only you, and I'm willing to travel with you until the end of my life. If I don't fulfill these promises, then kill me, okay?"
Ji Mosheng looked at Jiang Bai with complicated emotions, as Jiang Bai made promises that many men could not keep. He felt a little disappointed. It was no wonder that Jing Xi was moved by such a passionate and sincere affection.
Jing Xi looked at Jiang Bai, who was fiercely swearing a poisonous oath in front of her. It would be impossible for her not to be moved at all, but she wanted to go back to the modern world and dared not respond to such passionate love. So she changed the subject and said, "Jiang Bai, didn't I tell you to stay at the inn? Why did you run out? It's dangerous outside."
Seeing that Jing Xi didn't respond to what he had just said but changed the subject, Jiang Bai pouted a little aggrievedly and said, "I was afraid you would be in danger, so I wanted to wait for you at the foot of the mountain. Also, I wanted to see you as soon as possible."
Jing Xi's voice was hoarse as she asked, "I need to go to the military camp outside the city. Do you want to come?"
"I'll go, Jingxi. I'll follow you wherever you go," Jiang Bai said firmly. He really, really liked Jingxi. He liked her the moment he saw her. He always felt like he had known Jingxi in a past life, like they had known each other for a long time.
Seeing Jiang Bai's determined expression, Jing Xi had no choice but to say, "Alright, let's go together then."
Jiang Bai happily moved closer to Jing Xi. Ji Mosheng looked at Jiang Bai with some envy, thinking to himself, if he weren't a member of the royal family, would Jing Xi also like him?
However, he knew that even if he were an ordinary person, he couldn't give all his love to Jing Xi like Jiang Bai did, keeping none for himself. If he had ten parts of love, he might give eight to Jing Xi, because he wanted to keep two parts for himself. He and Jing Xi were the same kind of people; even if they liked each other very much, they wouldn't give their all like Jiang Bai did. They would both keep some for themselves to ensure they wouldn't get hurt.
Looking at the happy Jiang Bai beside her, Jing Xi felt a pang of sadness. She was conflicted. She wanted to go back to the modern world and be with her parents, but she also wanted to stay with Jiang Bai and live a carefree life. However, one cannot have both.
Jiang Bai, will you blame me?
"Your Highness, Miss Jing, the horses are here." Ye Xiao's voice interrupted their thoughts. Ji Mosheng led a black horse over, mounted it first, raised the whip, and rode away. He felt somewhat annoyed.
Seeing his prince suddenly run far away, Ye Xiao had no choice but to hurriedly ride after him. Jing Xi looked at the only remaining horse, then at Jiang Bai beside her, and had no choice but to ride up first, then pull Jiang Bai onto the horse, put her arm around her little wife Jiang Bai, and also raised the whip, and rode forward with all her might.
Since we don't know the answer, let's keep moving forward; maybe the answer is just ahead.
