"Don't you know whether I'm a man or not? We've already seen each other naked, do you still have any doubts? I just can't say it, you keep saying it."
Looking at the piles of corpses outside, Youhe responded with a rather serious statement.
But as for the content...
Cough cough!
It's easy for people to misunderstand.
As expected, Lu Duling's next words pierced their eardrums:
"Fine, I'll yell at you two to stop arguing. I never imagined that the people around Prime Minister Shen had this kind of relationship?"
"We have no relationship, don't get the wrong idea, Mr. Lu, I'm straight!"
Fengqin was still thinking about the brothels in the capital; how could she possibly want to be labeled like that?
Just as Feng Qin finished shouting those words, voices rang out from outside the pit. They must be their people. With their young master here, those people couldn't possibly be alive.
"I know you're straight, boss. Are you guys down there? I'll send people to rescue you right away."
Then several people moved the corpses piled on top of them, and it took a lot of effort for them to see the light of day again.
The commander under Yan Shengxiao was far more skilled in martial arts than Feng Qin and Youhe. It was already quite remarkable that they survived such severe injuries.
As Lu Duling carried Tian Ying down the mountain, he was still thinking about her not far away in Bagua Mountain, so he begged the still-living people to help him find her.
The person carrying him kindly explained something to him:
“Our people have all gone over there, and the two people from Miao territory who were there earlier have also gone into the woods.”
Lu Duling was relieved and fell into a deep sleep.
Early this morning, a large group of people arrived at the small village at the foot of the mountain. They were all covered in blood and some were seriously injured. The Miao people were terrified by the sight and dared not say a word. They gave the Miao people whatever they wanted and were very kind to them.
Afterwards, Wen Qiyu swaggered over here with the golden python. The Miao people looked at him as if he were a god, with endless awe.
so…
They spared no effort in bringing out the best things, and the village chief even personally killed a few chickens, stewed them into soup, and delivered it to the small courtyard where they lived.
Upon seeing Wen Qiyu, Cen Xi couldn't help but ask:
"Why are you walking out like this? Aren't you afraid someone will have their eyes on your golden python?"
"I'm not afraid of anyone coveting my wife. No one can take her away. What are your plans for the future? When are you going to leave Miao territory?"
Wen Qiyu and Cen Xi didn't have a good relationship before, but they are probably compatible in personality, which is why they can chat more now.
"The people here will go back after they recover from their injuries. Do you want to leave first?"
Cen Xi could tell that Wen Qiyu didn't actually want me to stay with them; it just so happened that we ran into each other here.
"Well, I plan to travel around and not return to the capital. After you go back, Princess, please tell my parents that I have died in Miao territory and they no longer have me as their son."
Wen Qiyu casually uttered those words and then turned and left.
"Is that okay? You're clearly not in any danger. Won't it hurt their feelings if I say this?"
Cen Xi looked at the other person's casual and nonchalant attitude and sighed in exasperation.
"What else can I do? Should I take my wife back and fight? They would never accept me being with a snake, and I can't compromise. So wouldn't it be better to let them think I messed up and died?"
Wen Qiyu shrugged helplessly.
“That’s true! If you don’t go back, I think Jun Xiaoqiao can continue living with your older brother and have another bunch of children. You have no idea how much of a shadow you’ve cast on him.”
Cen Xi sighed, then suddenly made a teasing remark.
“I didn’t mean to scare her. She provoked my brother and even planned to dump him. My brother was so angry that he played her. My sister-in-law deserves it.”
Wen Qiyu felt quite helpless about Jun Xiaoqiao's fear of snakes, but he secretly wanted to play a prank on her, since she had said that if she wasn't used to her brother, he would come and cause her trouble.
I don't regret messing with her at all.
"She deserves it. Your brother is good; he's got the ability to keep her in check. She's a womanizer; she should learn a lesson."
Cen Xi felt no sympathy for Jun Xiaoqiao's current predicament; it was all her own doing.
"I've noticed that you two share some similarities in how you handle things, but Your Highness, you are more approachable. I wish you and Prime Minister Shen a long and happy marriage."
Wen Qiyu found that chatting with Cen Xi for a while made her feel comfortable and in a good mood, so she really liked this person, the kind of liking that's like friendship.
"Thank you! Actually, I would prefer to live a life like yours, traveling all over the world alone and seeing the vast landscape, rather than being confined to a small place."
Cen Xi responded with a sincere smile, expressing her own longing.
"Then I'm afraid you'll never be able to fulfill your wish in this lifetime. Farewell!"
Wen Qiyu glanced at the people who followed behind, her eyebrows twitched, and she deliberately teased them.
"Yes, I'm tied up, but it's not a loss to have someone who loves me like this. Are you really leaving? What about the King of Ten Thousand Gu? Even if we can openly deal with the ruler of Miao Jiang, you'll probably face endless trouble afterward."
Cen Xi sighed, thought about Shen Jinchen's good points, and finally said a good word for him.
After saying that, seeing Wen Qiyu take a step to leave, he stopped him and asked again.
"The King of Ten Thousand Gu has already been given to Tian Ying. If Her Highness tells them this, the problem can be solved."
Wen Qiyu left after saying that, without lingering or looking back.
Cen Xi watched his retreating figure, chuckled softly, and turned to go back into the house, only to find herself meeting Shen Jinchen's complicated gaze.
He walked up to her, looked at her very seriously, and asked:
"You really dislike being restricted? You yearn for the kind of freedom that Wen Qiyu pursues?"
"So what if I long for you? You're not going to let me go anyway. Asking is pointless. Get out of my way! I need to see how Jun Jianchou is doing."
Cen Xi found this man's behavior inexplicable. What good would it do to ask him? Would he let her go? So, for no reason, she wanted to vent her anger.
But Shen Jinchen seemed genuinely eager to understand her thoughts, and as they passed each other, he suddenly grabbed her arm.
"You really don't want to be confined to the palace or the capital?"
"Yes, that's right! Is it really meaningful for you to ask these questions? Let's stop arguing, okay? I've already compromised."
A hint of impatience flashed in Cen Xi's eyes. She didn't want to talk about something that was already impossible.
"Did I cause you pain?"
For some reason, Shen Jinchen suddenly fell into self-doubt.
"No, you're overthinking it. I've gone in. Jun Jianchou is badly injured, so it's better for me to take care of him. When I said I loved you before, it was true. Given your status, I have to give up those thoughts, so don't worry about it anymore."
Cen Xi looked at him frankly and answered seriously, her purpose being to stop Shen Jinchen from thinking about those irrelevant things.
