"This is the imperial edict that the late emperor wrote to me. Back then, I accompanied the late emperor to pawn jade, but on the way back, he was assassinated by his brothers, and I also suffered greatly as a result."
"The late emperor, grateful for my kindness, sent me an imperial edict of pardon after he ascended the throne."
"Lu'er, take this. If you do something wrong and Jingyan wants to get rid of you, you must use this to save your life."
"Furthermore, I also have two thousand elite cavalrymen. Your father needed my care and that person from Yongshou Palace when he was young."
"After your father came to power, he gave two thousand elite cavalrymen to me and the one in Yongshou Palace to express his filial piety."
"Although I accepted the offer, I haven't had the chance to use it for many years. When you leave, I will talk to your father and ask him to give you those two thousand men."
"With someone by your side, I can rest assured."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Two thousand elite cavalrymen sent to the battlefield would be a drop in the ocean, and they might be wiped out in a single battle. Jing Lu did not expect them to play a significant role.
However, since the Empress Dowager was willing to take out the imperial edict granting him immunity from death, Jinglu will definitely keep it safe.
Jing Yan is a law-abiding citizen. If he truly intended to kill, Jing Lu would at least use the imperial edict of immunity to save his own life.
However, he was truly unwilling to accept it, unwilling to accept that Jing Yan had taken him to the battlefield with just a casual remark.
Jing Shuo, who remains, will surely destroy everything he has painstakingly built up.
Jing Lu knelt before Empress Dowager Zheng, praising her kindness over and over again.
"Grandmother, you are so kind. You have always loved Lu'er the most since I was little, and you would never let Lu'er suffer any harm. With you protecting Lu'er, I am not afraid of anything. I will always remember your kindness."
Empress Dowager Zheng felt a pang of pain in her heart as she listened to these words. Jing Lu was so obedient and relied on her for everything. Yet, even while she was alive, there were people who couldn't tolerate him.
Aside from reporting his safety upon arrival in the Jade Kingdom, Jingning has not been heard from since, and the Jade Kingdom's emperor has not responded to his letters in the past two years.
Empress Dowager Zheng couldn't help but wonder if it was because she had been too arrogant back then that she thought sending Jingning to the Jade Kingdom as the Empress would make her on good terms with the Jade Kingdom and thus help Jinglu.
In the past, I thought the rumors about the Jade Kingdom's royal family were just baseless speculation, but now Empress Dowager Zheng has inexplicably come to believe them. They are all a bunch of morally corrupt lunatics, filthy to the core.
Jingning's sacrifice was in vain; it was all for naught.
As for Anguo, there are no good people in Anguo. Empress Dowager Zheng hopes that her Jinglu will not get involved with Anguo.
...
Inside Rongying Mansion.
At night.
Since Rong Ying married Xiange, he angered people on their wedding night and slept on the floor for several nights. After that, he consciously lay down on the floor to sleep every night.
Just as he was about to lay the bedding on the floor tonight, Xiange, who was half-leaning on the bed, gently lifted her leg, and the bedding at the foot of the bed was pressed down by her.
Rong Ying followed Xiange's movements, looked at her face, and sighed, "I'm leaving tomorrow, and the house will all be yours. For this reason, please don't torment me anymore."
Xian Ge nodded repeatedly, lamenting to herself, "That's right, tomorrow I'll be a pitiful new wife whose husband is away on a long trip. Who passing by your Rong family's gate won't say a word about my misery?"
“Rong Lang, this isn’t your first time on a campaign. You’re a strategist who can just use your brain and speak up from the rear. You’re safer than His Highness the Crown Prince.”
"Why would you really die this time? Are you kidding me? Or is there something you're worried about with this three-way alliance?"
As a strategist from the Jade Kingdom, Rong Ying would inevitably encounter people from the Jade Kingdom, including even the Jade Kingdom's crown prince. Rong Ying is highly suspicious.
Rong Ying: "No, the battlefield is dangerous, so it doesn't matter what your identity is."
He denied Xian Ge's questioning. Regarding life and death, Rong Ying did not guarantee that he would die, but he had always held a pessimistic view.
Especially considering Xiange's casual attitude towards relationships, he simply didn't want to be confused.
Immediately, Rong Ying started pulling at the blanket, and Xiange pressed her leg down even harder. She half-sat up, feigning anger: "Are you really planning to make me use your money to support someone else's child?"
Rong Ying raised an eyebrow, nonchalantly: "Anyway, you'll take my surname, won't you?"
Ha, who knows if your real surname is Rong? Xian Ge chuckled softly, a silent mockery.
Just as Rong Ying was about to pull hard, Xiange deliberately straightened her legs, revealing a large expanse of snow-white skin beneath her thin nightgown.
Rong Ying accidentally touched it a few times while making a move; it was as smooth as the finest silk in the world, making one want to linger.
Suddenly, his neck started itching intensely again. He instinctively reached up to suppress it, not having time to do anything else. Xiange saw this and was overjoyed.
“Rong Lang, you couldn’t resist coming up here. Who wanted you to sleep on the floor? It’s getting late. If you don’t go to sleep now, you’ll definitely have to get up late tomorrow.”
Rong Ying's breathing became heavier. He realized that he usually only had an occasional itch on his neck, which he could endure for a while.
Ever since I shared a room with Xiange, it's been hard to find relief.
In addition, since Xiange has been living in this room recently, there is always a faint fragrance from the handkerchief that Xiange used to wear, which makes Rongying feel even more uncomfortable.
He originally wanted to move out, but whenever he made a move, Xian Ge would go to the Eastern Palace to request a chastity arch, leaving him with no choice.
When Rong Ying tried to shake his head and force himself to control himself, looking back at Xiange only made his will collapse.
Xian Ge began to undress and approach Rong Ying.
"Xiange, I can't always be a gentleman to you, you..."
Before Rong Ying could finish speaking, Xiange had already hooked his chin and lightly kissed him tentatively.
"You don't want the wife I married? I still want the man I married myself. Who wants a gentleman like you?"
"What is a gentleman? He is a man of unparalleled virtue. But if a gentleman still acts coy and pretentious in front of his wife, it is just affected, pedantic and boring. I don't like that."
Xian Ge whispered seductively in Rong Ying's ear, her hand secretly groping for his waist belt: "Rong Lang, hug me. I know you want to. You've made me happy, and I'll make you happy too."
