"Your Highness, Your Highness must believe me. I didn't mean to take the letter, nor did I mean to impersonate Yan Yunshu. I was in the borderland with the sole intention of helping Your Highness. I had no other thoughts. All I had was a passion and an accurate intuition. My loyalty to Your Highness and Tianze is evident to all. Even if I didn't open the letter based on my intuition, which led to so many twists and turns, it was only for Your Highness and Tianze!"
He Zhixiao burst into tears.
Seeing that Xu Jinghuai was unmoved, his eyes were cold.
My heart feels like it's being cut by a knife.
"Your Highness, are you really going to punish me with such a filthy charge? Although what I did was inappropriate and I was a bit self-righteous, during that year at the border, I swore to follow Your Highness until death. On the border battlefield, I fought alongside Your Highness..."
Having said that, the neighboring country's prince Mo Nianci bowed to Xu Jinghuai and said.
"Your Highness, it seems that Nian Ci will no longer be able to participate in the following matters. Nian Ci will take his leave first. I will wait for Your Highness and..." Mo Nian Ci looked at Yan Yunshu, his eyes gentle and friendly, "and the future Crown Princess. After this matter is dealt with, we will meet again."
Xu Jinghuai nodded in agreement.
Yan Yunshu bowed to Mo Nianci in return.
That means we'll get together again after we've dealt with this matter, which will be in the next two days.
I guess Mo Nianci will stay in Beijing for a few more days. When they meet again, she can ask her in detail about the thrilling events of a year ago that she is curious about, and the many details that happened therein.
After Mo Nianci left.
There was deathly silence throughout the He residence.
Everyone looked at He Zhixiao, who had just been interrupted while crying.
It seemed that something about the border battlefield was mentioned, and the gossipy heart in his heart was ignited, extinguished, and now ignited again.
So, is this finally getting to the point?
Is there true love between His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and He Zhixiao?
In the military camp on the border, there was only one woman, He Zhixiao, and she was very pretty.
He was also able to accompany His Royal Highness the Crown Prince day and night together with other soldiers. In such a situation, how many people could not be moved and emotional?
Everyone was thinking this.
He Zhixiao continued to cry.
"Your Highness and I fought together on the battlefield. Even if a large army attacked, I would never leave your side, swearing to protect your Highness's safety. I have also risked my life for your Highness, fending off flying swords. On the battlefield, swords are merciless, and life and death depend on a moment. Yet, your Highness trusted me and trusted me with his back. Putting aside other matters, I am completely loyal, wholeheartedly serving my country, and only wanting to share your Highness's worries. I never think of anyone or anything other than the battlefield and your Highness. Furthermore, soldiers are inherently open-minded and would never spend so much time and effort thinking about a letter in such a roundabout way. Your Highness! Please make your decision..."
After saying this, she cried heart-wrenchingly.
Those who listen are moved and those who hear are sad.
Yan Yunshu frowned slightly, and a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth. It turned out that He Zhixiao was good at misleading people, inciting emotions, and avoiding the important issues.
Still amazing.
But no matter how powerful it is, the fact is the fact.
No matter how good your excuses are, you cannot deny this fact.
She had many things in her mind that she wanted to refute, but she thought that what she was going to say in public now were the fantastic stories between He Zhixiao and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and she wanted to say something in response to what He Zhixiao said.
The other party involved has to come out.
She looked at Xu Jinghuai.
Xu Jinghuai pursed his lips slightly, his eyes as cold as ice, falling on He Zhixiao.
"There are millions of soldiers who have fought alongside me, each one of them risking their lives. I am willing to turn my back to them, to live up to all they have sacrificed for Tianze, and to protect their safety for the rest of their lives. But how can all of these millions of soldiers be of good character, free from evil thoughts? He Zhixiao, your quibbling is useless. Even though I, mindful that you are not disgusted with military intelligence, will not hold you accountable for your deceitful and deceitful behavior, you should not continue to blame your theft on the negligence of the so-called marchers, slandering the millions of Tianze soldiers and erasing their willingness to sacrifice for Tianze."
After Xu Jinghuai finished speaking, he looked at the dozens of soldiers not far away who had won major and minor military merits.
The soldiers all looked at He Zhixiao seriously and sadly.
We fought together on the battlefield.
But He Zhixiao was not as loyal to the country as she said, let alone swearing to protect His Highness with her life.
Her fancy moves were more than enough to deal with unarmed civilians, but in front of the enemy, they were like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, completely useless.
Therefore, it is false to say that I will protect His Highness until my death.
Everything was just a self-torture trick on her part.
Originally, the soldiers saw through her intentions but didn't say anything. As a woman, in front of such a handsome and noble Crown Prince, she naturally had some little thoughts of her own.
But things have developed to this point.
It is indeed excessive.
First, he stole other people's letters and falsely claimed military merit.
Now that the charges are in place, they are actually trying to morally blackmail His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, dragging these soldiers into this, and saying things that are very likely to be misunderstood.
Fortunately, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was wise and intelligent, and was not fooled by her.
Instead, he pointed out her mistakes directly without hesitation.
Otherwise, once this matter is over, even if His Highness shows leniency and does not pursue her fault, the world will surely think that the soldiers are as careless as He Zhixiao said, and have committed the crime of theft without knowing it. By then, the soldiers will surely have a ruined reputation.
Fortunately, fortunately...
"General He, we soldiers are not what you say. We are open and honest, but we never intercept other people's letters or steal their precious things."
"Yes, General He, although we are not well-educated and our behavior is a bit rude, we can distinguish right from wrong. We would never do such a thing as stealing."
"General He, please don't push the fault of one person onto the entire army. Even if you don't care about the comradeship between us, you should still remember the soldiers' efforts and even their lives in that cruel battlefield to protect you, the general who was running around recklessly beside His Highness!"
As soon as these words fell, everyone gasped.
Even Xu Jinghuai was surprised.
He looked at the person who spoke, General Ruan Tingzhi.
His brows were furrowed, his eyes were gloomy, and his handsome face was so cold that frost could condense.
"General Ruan."
General Ruan sighed, stepped forward helplessly, and saluted His Highness.
He said word by word, "Your Highness is so focused on the war that he doesn't know what General He is thinking."
General He's thoughts...
Hearing these words, everyone's heart almost jumped into their throat.
Thoughts, what thoughts? Naturally, they are the thoughts between men and women.
They all looked at General Ruan with burning eyes.
