After Xu Jinghuai left, the eunuch following behind him breathed a sigh of relief.
His Highness finally agreed to leave and go to Weiyang Palace.
Just looking at the situation, if you didn't know, you would think that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had experienced a life-and-death separation that was earth-shattering and heartbreaking.
Little did they know that what was happening in Weiyang Palace could be settled in just a moment.
…
The remaining three people naturally had their own thoughts.
Everyone wanted to ask what to say, but they stopped themselves and didn't say anything.
Until Yan Yunshu broke the silence.
"I wonder what military achievements General He has made?"
When this question is asked,
He Zhixiao was stunned. What were his military achievements? Is this something a beautiful girl in seclusion should ask?
What's more, this delicate flower might be the letter writer who knows the inside story.
She naturally didn't want to answer, but if she didn't answer, it would seem like she had something to hide.
He could only bite the bullet and reply, "A year ago, while purchasing supplies in Xiangyang City on the border, I accidentally obtained an important military secret..."
"So..." Yan Yunshu became interested when she heard the word "military strategy". "General He's military strategy is crucial. It was a key factor in Tianze's ultimate victory and the agreement with Hansha."
The wine glass in He Zhixiao's hand paused slightly, and her eyebrows twitched imperceptibly.
Then, he raised his eyes and looked at the peerless beauty in front of him.
It is undoubtedly a delicate flower, but every word and sentence is very calm.
But it surprised her and made her feel even more troubled.
She put down the wine glass in her hand and tried her best to hide the guilt and hostility in her heart.
He smiled and nodded towards Yan Yunshu.
"The girl is smart."
Obviously, Yan Yunshu was not satisfied with He Zhixiao's vague answer.
But she also understood that since General He called it a vital military secret, it meant that even if the person sitting here answering the question was Xu Jinghuai, he would never tell her directly.
And she would not be so unreasonable as to insist that Xu Jinghuai reveal the military secrets to her.
Once you enter the royal family, it will be as deep as the sea.
Even though Xu Jinghuai had a lot of love and trust for her, she knew very well that staying away from court politics, not delving too deeply into it, and not letting anyone catch her was the only way to protect herself, Xu Jinghuai, and the Marquis' Mansion.
However, this does not mean that she cannot try.
Or, pretend to know nothing and ask this question deliberately.
"So, what military secret did General He obtain in Xiangyang City? Was it the weakness of the Hansha army, or was it information about a key individual?"
When He Zhixiao heard Yan Yunshu mention the information about the key person, his mind suddenly exploded.
But as someone who had experienced the battlefield, she quickly restrained her expression.
"Young lady, this question is against the rules. You cannot ask about military secrets, let alone disclose them."
After saying this, he was sweating all over.
Yan Yunshu noticed the unnatural look on He Zhixiao's face, and her mind became clearer.
She pretended to be annoyed and said angrily.
"Oh, this is all my fault. There are so many things I don't understand. I hope General He doesn't think Yun Shu is overstepping her bounds. Yun Shu is just too curious."
As he said this, he put the cake in his mouth very embarrassedly, bit out a crescent shape, and squinted at the two generals and smiled.
Her smile is as bright as a flower, and contains a hint of innocence.
General Ruan Tingzhi was stunned by this. He quickly said, "It's okay, it's okay. It's not an overstep. It's not an overstep at all. How can you use such a serious word as overstepping? Miss, there's absolutely no need..."
Yan Yunshu smiled even brighter as she looked at the two of them.
As if she really was that ignorant, delicate flower in the boudoir.
However, He Zhixiao, who was inexplicably troubled by Yan Yunshu, seemed to have survived a disaster, and his fingers were still trembling slightly.
She looked at the culprit who smiled calmly and passed it by, and a surge of anger suddenly surged in her heart.
She was just a delicate flower that could only be protected by her and the soldiers, but whether intentionally or unintentionally, the words between the lines seemed to be full of threats to her.
But she had obviously done it perfectly, and there was no way the woman in front of her could get any evidence against her, and His Highness was not here either.
In addition, at the celebration banquet, any mistakes made by the soldiers were not taken into account.
Impulsively, He Zhixiao forced a smile.
"The girl is different from the rest of us. She's been carefree since she was little, raised in seclusion, delicate and vulnerable. She can't withstand any wind, frost, or rain, let alone big waves. She doesn't understand what war is, much less the iron-clad friendship between soldiers on a battlefield filled with smoke and flames. It's a special bond that transcends life and death, and how they're willing to turn their backs on him... What kind of trust and tacit understanding do they have? What kind of feelings of sharing life and death? Yes, the girl doesn't understand. She was born to be kept in seclusion, just like the millions of people who haven't been to the battlefield, vulnerable and unable to do anything, and can only be protected by the lives of soldiers like us!"
After hearing these words, General Ruan Tingzhi on the side was surprised.
He didn't understand why Yan Yunshu's mere words of "I don't understand" led to General He saying such things.
As if just to vent the emotions in my heart.
He repeatedly emphasized the friendship between the soldiers and the fact that the people were protected by them.
It is true that the soldiers protected the people, but no one ever had any complaints against them, let alone singled out a girl and morally criticized her.
Just as he was about to come out to rescue, several of his soldiers suddenly rushed out from his side and dragged him away.
"General Ruan, what are you doing chatting and laughing with women? Come and have fun with your brothers."
Soon, only Yan Yunshu and He Zhixiao were left.
