Xie Linzhou left with a livid face, carrying Song Ning on his shoulder.
Before Princess Jianing could ask what had happened, she saw her son carrying the person back to his own courtyard.
After placing the person on the bed, Song Ning opened her eyes drunkenly, looked at the person in front of her, and suddenly smiled infatuatedly.
"Hey bro, you're so handsome! Do you have a girlfriend? How about you consider me?"
Xie Linzhou instructed, "Go and make a bowl of hangover soup."
The maid standing beside her breathed a sigh of relief and quickly replied, "Yes."
Song Ning clung to Xie Linzhou, rubbing against him and calling him "little brother" on both sides. Although Xie Linzhou enjoyed this, he knew it wasn't meant for him.
After a bowl of hangover soup was poured down her throat, Song Ning calmed down a lot, but she still sat on Xie Linzhou's lap and wouldn't get off.
Xie Linzhou sighed. Yuan Huizhu was right; she really didn't like him.
She married him simply to settle down and have a child with the surname Song. As long as those two conditions were met, she didn't care who she married.
Xie Linzhou panicked; Song Ning really wanted to divorce him.
However, divorce is impossible.
He finally managed to marry her, and there's no way he'll ever divorce her.
It's time to have a child.
He abruptly pushed the person down, and Song Ning regained some consciousness. She weakly raised her hand and pushed the person on top of her: "What... what are you doing?"
Xie Linzhou quickly took off his clothes and pounced on her.
"Wait, wait a minute..."
With both hands restrained, Xie Linzhou's eyes were frighteningly deep. As Song Ning looked at him, she shifted her gaze elsewhere.
Putting everything else aside, Xie Linzhou is a martial artist, and his physique is truly...enviable.
Song Ning stared, mesmerized. He was handsome and had a great figure. This was the man she wanted to marry.
Thinking about this, Song Ning suddenly felt a little smug.
"Hehe, hehehe..." He suddenly started laughing like an idiot.
Xie Linzhou gently pecked the corner of her slightly curved lips and pinched her waist hard: "Now that you've entered the Xie family, you'll never leave in this lifetime."
Song Ning pinched his arm, but he couldn't muster any strength and posed no threat whatsoever.
After a short while, intermittent sounds came from inside the room, and the maids retreated to a distance.
After an unknown amount of time, Song Ning felt that Xie Linzhou must want to kill her. This was too much, too much!
He shifted his body to the other side, turning his back to Xie Linzhou.
Song Ning sobered up, but she couldn't move her body and felt terrible; her head still ached.
Xie Linzhou also realized he had gone too far, so he wrapped his arms around her from behind, pulling her into his embrace.
"Was I a little too much just now? Don't be angry, I just... wanted you to look at me more."
“We are husband and wife now, you can tell me anything. I always keep my word, and everything I told you before was true.”
I will not take a concubine, much less have feelings for other women. If I truly loved another woman, I would have had children long ago.
"I'm not unhappy, I'm just angry. I wanted to see you jealous... but..."
"I was wrong. I shouldn't have kept the Xu family here. Really... I just wanted you to look at me more, just look at me more..."
Song Ning vaguely heard Xie Linzhou speaking in her ear. She couldn't hear clearly because it was intermittent, but she understood that he was trying to give in to her.
However, she didn't have the energy to answer; she was too sleepy.
When she opened her eyes again, no one was beside her. A maid came in to help her wash up and casually asked, "Where is the young master?"
The maid took the handkerchief and replied, "Young master... has already left the capital."
"Going to change shifts again?"
"Young Madam, the young master has gone to war this time."
Song Ning was stunned. Was war about to break out?
"When did they leave?" They were fine yesterday, why is there suddenly a war?
"They left last night, and when they left, they told me not to disturb the young mistress."
Song Ning hurried to find Princess Jianing and learned what had happened.
A sudden riot broke out on the southern border, and the Southern Yue and Southern Qi countries sent troops to the border line. The border war was urgent, and the imperial court immediately reinforced the troops. Xie Linzhou had no choice but to set off overnight.
Princess Jianing was used to it; this kind of thing happened often before, so she wasn't surprised.
"Don't worry, he's fine."
"I know."
Song Ning didn't have time to worry, because Jiang Shuyue sent her a letter saying that she was leaving ahead of schedule.
It's not even March yet, but the weather is already starting to warm up. In order to get things done as soon as possible, we decided to set off early, which was also the emperor's wish.
Jiang Shuyue, in the name of the Third Prince, led her people all the way north.
This time, Zheng Gaoyi was also with them.
Their destination was Tianxiang County.
Although Tianxiang County is a bit far from the border, it's not too far. Besides, it wouldn't be safe to be right on the border anyway.
Jiang Shuyue also knew about Xie Linzhou's southward campaign and comforted Song Ning.
"Don't worry, my cousin has years of experience fighting wars, he will definitely come back safely."
"Yes, I'm not worried."
She wasn't worried about Xie Linzhou's fighting ability; she was worried about Tang Xinghuai.
I heard that Tang Xinghuai went along too. That man is cunning; I wonder if he'll do anything on the way.
Judging from his collusion with Northern Liang, the possibility of collusion with Southern Qi cannot be ruled out.
If he really does something so heinous, Xie Linzhou will be in danger.
However, she had already sent someone to deliver a message before leaving. Xie Linzhou had always been wary of Tang Xinghuai, so he should be fine.
I only hope that the fighting on the border will end soon and that everyone can return safely.
"I heard that the person sent by Beiliang this time is a confidant of the new emperor. He is very capable. The new emperor was able to ascend the throne thanks to him."
"No matter who it is, as long as they are genuinely concerned for the people, we welcome them."
Speaking of this, Jiang Shuyue laughed: "You don't know, when I left today, my second brother's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. It was really rare to see him with such an expression for the first time."
Jiang Shuyue was in a great mood as long as she could make them suffer.
As the group was walking, Zheng Gaoyi rode up ahead and said, "Your Highness, Guangzhou is just ahead."
"We still need to borrow people from Gwangju. Let's go into the city."
When the troops entered Gwangju, the prefect of Gwangju personally went to the city gate to welcome them.
"Greetings, Your Highness the Third Prince."
"No need for formalities, please rise."
Jiang Shuyue's demeanor was that of a prince, and since none of the people here had ever seen the Third Prince before, they naturally wouldn't give herself away.
"Your Highness's quarters have been prepared. Please make your move."
The group entered the guesthouse, which was heavily guarded. The prefect of Guangzhou had made proper arrangements for their food and lodging.
The prefect of Guangzhou arranged a banquet for them that evening, featuring numerous songs, dances, and beautiful women.
He also made some perfunctory remarks, whether intentionally or unintentionally.
The implication was that they didn't want to lend it to anyone.
