After Xia Jinjun returned to the general's mansion, he became more and more frightened the more he thought about it. He couldn't help but tell Xia Chen about it. Naturally, he had considered it before.
"You said that the emperor took a special look at Jinxiu?" Xia Chen was scared at the time and didn't dare to look around. She really didn't know, but when she heard the man say that, she became scared too.
She had heard about Jinxiu's fate from her youngest daughter.
Originally, she was secretly delighted that nothing her daughter said had happened. Was it too early for her to assert it?
"You mean the emperor has taken a fancy to Jinxiu?"
Xia Jinjun saw that his wife did not show any joy, so he did not think much about it. Instead, he felt that she was not interested in power and was just like him. "That's not the case. It's just that Jinxiu had a rash the last time she went to the palace. But our Jinxiu is pretty after all. I was afraid that the emperor would think that Jinxiu was deceiving him, so I deliberately made her look like that."
"That shouldn't be the case. Not everyone can control a rash, right?"
"But didn't you hear the emperor deliberately asking why our Zhiliao wasn't here?" Xia Jinjun became more and more scared the more he thought about it. "He must have guessed that the last rash was related to Zhiliao, otherwise why would he ask like that? How could the emperor not know that Zhiliao went to see Princess Yiyang?"
Xia Chenshi became more and more uneasy after his analysis. "What should we do? Nothing can happen to Jinxiu, and nothing can happen to Zhiliao either."
"Yes, but I don't know what the emperor was thinking. He didn't get angry at the time. I'm just worried now. I'm afraid that he will settle the score with me later. What if Zhiliao can't cure the princess? Then..."
"We'll settle the score later?" Xia Chen said.
Xia Jinjun nodded, "But maybe I'm overthinking it. It's not true at all. I... I just feel uneasy."
Xia Chen held his hand gently and said, "I understand. You are also thinking about this family."
"Don't you think I'm making a big deal out of nothing?" Xia Jinjun thought that he was the only one who knew all this, and he actually felt a little overwhelmed to bear so much on his own.
Unexpectedly, Xia Chen always chose to stand on his side.
"How could that be? It's never too much to think about this family." Xia Chen said.
Xia Jinjun looked at his considerate wife and smiled. Seeing her, he felt inexplicably relieved. "I hope I'm overthinking."
It would be nice if my daughter was here at this time.
On Yunhua Peak.
"A-choo!" Xia Zhiliao sneezed.
The romantic clothes-giving scene in idol dramas didn't appear, but a voice that made people want to beat him up was heard, "Why don't you sleep so late at night and feed mosquitoes here?"
Xia Zhiliao didn't need to look back, because there were only four of them on the top of the mountain, and she was already very familiar with that voice.
"I have a sachet to repel mosquitoes." Xia Zhiliao was just simply looking at the stars.
The starry sky tonight is really beautiful, and being on the mountain, it seems like I can reach the stars with my hands.
Grandpa and Grandma Wei should have left Beijing safely, which is a good thing.
"Why don't you give me one of these good things?" Wen Heng asked.
Xia Zhiliao curled his lips, "You are so rude."
"Why am I being polite to you?"
"Why can't you be polite to me?" Xia Zhiliao asked.
Wen Heng just smiled and didn't answer. If they really wanted to calculate the difference between them, it would be hard to figure it out.
Unexpectedly, Wen Heng did not leave, but sat down next to her. Xia Zhiliao was about to move away, but was grabbed back by him.
She yelled in dissatisfaction, "What are you doing?"
"Don't you have a mosquito repellent sachet? Sit closer."
[So you're using me as a mosquito coil. ]
Xia Zhiliao stuck out her tongue. It was not that she surrendered to the villain, but that she couldn't move even if she wanted to.
"How long will it take for the princess to recover?" Wen Heng asked.
Xia Zhiliao shook her head. She was also anxious, but this was not something to be rushed. "If you have something to do, you can actually go back first."
Wen Heng glared at her, and Xia Zhiliao felt a little confused.
She didn't say anything wrong?
"Will it be all right if you're always here?"
"What's the problem?" Wen Heng smiled bitterly, "There's nothing wrong with being here. It's quiet."
To be honest, after coming to the mountain for a few days, he really figured out a lot of things, and even felt that it would be good to live like this for the rest of his life.
But unfortunately, there are some things he can't let go of.
"So you like to live a quiet life?" Xia Zhiliao's eyes flickered, bright as stars, "Then choose to live a quiet life. You can choose your own life."
She didn't know why, but she thought that if possible, she would persuade him.
But in fact, she knew that he had a lot on his mind and it was not so easy to let go.
She never thought of completely changing his mind.
Wen Heng raised his hand and ruffled her hair. "Many things are not as simple as you think."
"Zhi Le, you risked your life to enter the palace to protect your family. You worked hard to cure the princess so that you could help your aunt trace her roots. Zhi Le, you know how to protect and take care of your family at such a young age, right?"
Xia Zhiliao nodded. Everything she did was because she wanted to live a good life with her family.
"It's the same for me. You are willing to risk your life for your mother. You have a lot of family members, but I only have my mother. My mother could have married a beloved man, cherished her, loved her, protected her, loved her, had several children, and raised her. But all this is different because of that man. He ruined someone else's life, but he still blamed and cursed her, letting a woman bear the stigma..."
Wen Heng realized that he had said too much and had unknowingly opened his heart to Xia Zhiliao.
You know, if it were someone else, she would be dead by now.
But facing the cute little girl in front of him, he had no intention of killing her, and even wanted to express all his anger.
Wen Heng sighed and pulled Xia Zhiliao up. "It's foggy in the mountains. Go to bed early. You are not an ordinary child. You know what to say and what not to say, right?"
Xia Zhiliao nodded, but she was still immersed in Wen Heng's helpless expression just now, "Are you... okay?"
"Go to bed early!"
Xia Zhiliao looked at Wen Heng's lonely back and felt a slight pain in her heart.
However, the next day, Wen Heng was the same as usual, as if he had a short-lived split personality yesterday.
Xia Zhiliao didn't bring it up on her own initiative. In fact, she knew exactly what Wen Heng wanted to do, but she didn't expect him to tell her.
This took her a little by surprise.
Princess Yi Yang found that the dinner table today was a bit dull. Unlike the previous time when there was all kinds of talk and laughter. After getting used to the hustle and bustle, she could no longer accept the loneliness. Her eyes lingered on the two people several times.
"Did you two have a fight? You usually get along just like one person, but why are you so quiet today? Did you break up?"
