Chapter 62: If he is a good father, can he also be a good husband?
The forest is quiet and the moonlight is soft.
Xiang Ying's eyes were gloomy: "What are you hiding from me?"
"Actually, it was me who sent Fang Gan to get close to you." Xiangli showed a guilty expression when he said this.
"Why did you do this, brother?"
"You were acting ridiculously and had numerous male lovers. I was afraid that you would fall into depravity, so I wanted to have someone by your side. I thought that if you developed feelings for him, you would not be obsessed with beauty all day long."
Xiangli sighed: "You did show your love for Fang Gan, but he just became one of your many male favorites."
"I could only tell Fang Gan to advise you more when he was with you. I didn't expect that he would do as I said and soon fall out of favor with you."
Xiangying was silent.
In fact, Fang Gan did not fall out of favor, but was transferred by the original owner to train assassins.
Judging from Xiangli's tone, he didn't know that Fang Gan was now the leader of the death squad.
"It's rare that you have good intentions." Xiangying smiled.
Seeing that she didn't seem angry, Xiangli felt even more guilty.
"Sister...I don't mean to plant spies around you."
"I know," Xiangying's bright eyes and red lips curled into a faint smile, "I was ignorant before, I won't care, but you can't do this in the future, brother, I will be angry."
When she said this, her expression did not show any displeasure, but her tone clearly gave people a sense of oppression.
Xiangli nodded: "Definitely not."
Only then did Xiangying help Xiangli go back.
She recalled in her mind.
Fang Gan never told the original owner that he was actually the prince's man.
Among so many male favorites, the original owner accurately picked Fang Gan to help her manage the assassins.
Could it be that the original owner had known for a long time that Fang Gan was sent by Xiangli that this inexplicably firm trust was because?
Because she completely trusted her brother, she felt at ease to call on the people he arranged.
Thinking of this, Xiangying actually felt that the original owner was not as licentious and foolish as he appeared to be.
When the brother and sister walked back, they found that the prisoners who were already asleep were being urged to get up by the soldiers.
Tao Xue walked over quickly: "Princess, you are finally back. The military supervisor asked us to set off now."
"Are you in such a hurry?" Xiangying helped Xiangli lie down on the wooden cart.
The three children sat up, rubbing their eyes and yawning.
Tao Xue helped them put on their clothes while saying, "I heard that Supervisor Jie has negotiated for a ship and wants to hurry to Luzhou."
They became busy here. At the front of the exile team, Jie Chen let the vanguard team take the lead.
He walked to the back and helped Xiangying pull the wooden cart.
Military Supervisor Ke has not looked good since he fought with him.
At this moment, he stared at Jie Chen with gloomy eyes and went to find Xiang Ying again. He really couldn't bear it anymore.
So he wrote a piece of paper, tied it to a carrier pigeon and released it.
When another military supervisor came over and saw this, his face was shocked.
"Master Ke, could it be that you want to send a carrier pigeon to inform the deputy general?"
Supervisor Ke packed his things with a cold face: "Xie Chen ignored the original route and changed the route without permission. He also wanted to execute first and report later. I told the deputy general in advance to avoid the deputy general punishing me and implicating you and me."
The military supervisor named Wei frowned and said, "Tell me the truth, did you only talk about changing the route?"
General Ke fastened the saddle roughly, seemingly showing annoyance.
"I also told you about Captain Jia's death."
"You! Oh, how could you be so impulsive?"
"Xie Chen is protecting that woman, so why can't I tell him? Besides, the deputy general is Captain Jia's brother-in-law, so he will know about this sooner or later."
Supervisor Ke was angry: "Xie Chen thinks he has done a great job because he has been hiding in the Western Zhou Dynasty for many years. As supervisors, why should we always obey his orders?"
"I will tell the deputy general everything that happened. You will definitely thank me then. Otherwise, you will be punished together with Jie Chen!"
Having said that, he jumped on his horse and rode forward with a roar.
General Wei sighed repeatedly. Now that the two of them were fighting each other, it would be inappropriate for him to do anything in between.
For fear of further complications, General Wei had no choice but to keep the matter secret and not tell Jie Chen.
*
At daybreak, the exile team finally arrived at Lianhua Ferry.
The reeds sway gently, and the colors of the sky are a mixture of light and dark.
There are six large ships parked at the ferry.
Xie Chen classified the exile teams into six groups.
Xiangying, the children, and those familiar to her, all followed Jie Chen and boarded the first boat of the vanguard team.
Xie Chen looked at the two military supervisors Wei and Ke.
"The food and fodder will be distributed equally. The military doctor and you will take the first ship with me. If you have no objection, I will give you the order."
Ke Jianjun sneered and said sarcastically: "How dare I object to your proposal to release Jianjun?"
He turned and got on the boat.
Seeing his attitude, Xie Chen frowned, and Wei Jianjun tried to smooth things over: "His temper comes and goes quickly, so don't bother with him."
The exiles boarded the ship in batches, and the separate wooden carts could not be taken aboard.
Lin Lingxiang supported him, and when they were too close, they felt tense.
"Miss Lin...I'm sorry."
"Don't mind, Your Highness. You don't need to be polite. Just lean on me. I can support you."
Having said that, how could Xiangli have the nerve to really rely on her to walk?
After he dragged his half-healed legs onto the boat with great difficulty, he was already sweating profusely.
Xiangli was holding the railing of the boat, gasping for breath. Lin Lingxiang suddenly reached out from the side and gently wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief.
There was nothing flirtatious or ambiguous about her actions, but it made Xiangli's ears blush.
"Thank you very much."
On Xiangying's side, he finally caught the three little ones who were running around excitedly.
When the children saw the boat, they jumped around happily, as nimble as loaches.
"If you keep running around and accidentally slip under the boat and fall into the water, I won't save you."
After Xiangying finished threatening, Xiangxiuxiu shrank into her arms obediently: "Mom, I won't run away. I'll be good."
The two little guys, Xiang Yuanxiao and Xiang Yuanlang, still looked a little unconvinced.
Xiangying asked Qi Fengyi and Tao Xue to watch one each and keep a close eye on them.
Fang Gan came behind Xiangying calmly.
"Don't be afraid, Princess. I can swim. I'll take care of the children."
Xiangying looked back, her red lips coldly said: "Just take care of yourself."
Fang Gan was about to speak when the skinny monkey grabbed him by the collar.
"Why are you still here, fisherman? The boat is about to start. Go and help! And you dare to chat."
He dragged Fang Gan away and gave Xiangying a flattering smile.
Soon, the six boats were full of people.
Xie Chen ordered his men to allocate cabins according to the number of people on their ship, with six people in each cabin.
So Xiangying moved in with Taoxue, Qi Fengyi and Lin Lingxiang, along with three other children who didn't take up much space.
Xiangli, Old Master Lin, and several other men were assigned to live together.
Xie Chen walked up to Xiangying and said, "Your brother lives not far from you, and I have arranged for someone to take care of him."
Xiangying narrowed her eyes, looked at him and suddenly laughed.
"Okay, you've performed well. I forgive you for what happened before."
Xie Chen glanced at her coldly and said, "I'm not asking for your forgiveness, I just don't want the children to worry about him."
Xiangying put her hand on his shoulder, smiling, her red lips curved gracefully.
"From this point of view, you are indeed a qualified and good father, but I don't know if you are a good husband?"
Xie Chen's originally serious expression suddenly changed.
He directly pushed away Xiangying's hand on him: "Don't go too far!"
Looking at Jie Chen's angrily leaving, Xiangying couldn't help laughing.
It’s not her fault. Every time she sees Jie Chen being serious, she will think of his good performance.
Always want to tease him.
