Chapter 63 She Won't Go With You
Xie Chengyan slowly sat down in front of Sun Yunshu and said, "I'm not blind. I was testing gunpowder in the Shenji Camp a few months ago and got blinded. I can see things now, but I'm afraid of light."
"It seems like the prince is doing well, even serving in the Shenji Camp?"
Xie Chengyan laughed heartily, his words hinting at something: "You're not bad either. You don't even have a registered permanent residence in Yin Country, yet you managed to become the commander-in-chief in Southern Xinjiang."
Sun Yunshu understood the meaning behind Xie Chengyan's words. His hand, which was originally refilling his tea, suddenly stopped. He then put down the teapot and looked up at Xie Chengyan. "Yes, what Yin Country can't give me, Southern Xinjiang can give me, so why should I stay in Yin Country?"
Xie Chengyan took the teapot, poured tea for her, and said, "If you really think so, you should have left when you saw Lin Yan today. Why did you follow him to deceive those two southern barbarians? Tell me the truth, which side are you on? If you say that you went to Southern Xinjiang against your will, based on our friendship on the battlefield, I can completely believe you."
Sun Yunshu sneered as if she had heard something funny. "Your Highness, you take Yin Country too seriously, don't you? I only came to see you because my sister is still in Yin Country. Once I take her to Southern Xinjiang, we sisters will never set foot in Yin Country again."
She spoke with such conviction that Xie Chengyan felt it was perfectly reasonable for her to have such thoughts. As an illegitimate daughter, she had no household registration and couldn't even make a living in Yin State. She finally found a way to make a living in the army, but halfway through the battle, even the promised rations didn't arrive, and the soldiers went hungry for five days before they even got their first bite of food.
At this moment, the people of Southern Xinjiang suddenly gave her household registration, manpower, and status. No one would defect. Xie Chengyan knew this and did not force her. Knowing that she was concerned about her sister, he said, "Lin Yan told Ruoying about your situation. She doesn't believe you will defect to Southern Xinjiang, so she probably won't be willing to go with you for a while."
Through the brocade, he saw a flash of disappointment in Sun Yunshu's eyes, and then continued, "Lin Yan doesn't believe it either."
She smiled and said, "What's the point of believing it or not? Aren't there many traitors in the Yin army? If there hadn't been a spy under the prince, you and I wouldn't be recuperating in that dilapidated temple." She sighed and said casually, "I'm fine. I'll be fine in a few days. But the prince was in a coma for several days."
The girl she had just seen in the lobby suddenly appeared in her mind. She would not mistake her. That girl was the daughter of the female doctor. Her upturned eyes were really unforgettable, cold and charming.
"The prince took the doctor's daughter here?"
Before Xie Chengyan realized who she was talking about, he asked in confusion, "Who?"
"I just ran into the daughter of the Nanyang old temple doctor. She rescued a girl from the private room on the second floor and then ran out of Wanhe Tower."
Xie Chengyan was stunned for a moment. Wasn't it Ye Lanzhou who had just rescued someone and then left? Hong Luo had used Wanhelou's men to search for things without his knowledge, but the shopkeeper Lin Yan had still informed him. He had also seen Ye Lanzhou when he arrived, but he had more important things to do and ignored her.
So she is the daughter of the female doctor from Nanyang?
Halfway through his words, he heard a noise outside the door. It was obviously Yu Le who had changed his clothes and came out. He could hear the footsteps and had already walked to the door of the room.
