This serious and solemn posture made Zhao Yuxiao nervous.
He almost thought Ying Xixi was going to confess her feelings to him.
"General, I have something important to tell you."
Ying Xixi was quite serious, and Zhao Yuxiao was so nervous that his heart skipped a beat.
"Chunhua, go ahead."
"General, my parents have been looking for me a lot lately. Today they gave me a letter and asked me to put it in your study.
The excuse they gave was that a girl loved you and asked me to give you the letter.
But the letter is not given to you, General, but is to be placed in your study, and you are not even allowed to discover the existence of the letter immediately.
This servant finds this too strange, and I still want to personally deliver the letter to the general."
Ying Xixi explained it briefly and handed the letter to Zhao Yuxiao.
Zhao Yuxiao, who almost thought Ying Xixi was going to confess to him, felt a little disappointed and took the letter to read it.
As a result, his face turned gloomy at the first glance, and the more he looked, the gloomier his face became, as if ink seemed to drip out.
After a while, Zhao Yuxiao put down the letter.
"Chunhua, you said your parents gave you this letter and asked you to put it in my study?"
Ying Xixi nodded, "Yes, General, is there something wrong with this letter?"
"Well, if this letter is discovered and reported to the Emperor, my entire family may be executed.
No, since this letter has appeared, I'm sure someone will come to my door in a few days."
Zhao Yuxiao's eyes were gloomy, and there seemed to be a bloody storm spreading in them.
Ying Xixi's eyes flashed, "General, what are you going to do? This letter...are you going to present it to the Emperor?"
"No."
Zhao Yuxiao looked at Ying Xixi and lowered his magnetic voice a few notches.
"Chunhua, you are the only one I can trust now. I dare not trust anyone else, including the emperor.
This letter might have been forged by the Emperor to frame me."
Ying Xixi was a little surprised that Zhao Yuxiao could see so clearly.
"Why is it the Emperor?"
Zhao Yuxiao curled his lips, "Of course it's because my achievements are greater than his master's, so he is feared.
I have no father, no mother, no wife, no children, and no weaknesses.
Otherwise, the emperor would not have arranged a marriage for me even though he knew it would be difficult for me to have children.
What he gave me was not a marriage, but he wanted to place a spy next to me or create a handle for me.
But the emperor didn't expect me to refuse so bluntly, so he had to find another way.
After all, the border situation has become much more stable now. There will be no war for the time being, and there is no need for me to fight for my life anymore.
I didn’t expect his method would be like this.”
Ying Xixi pursed her lips and said, "General, if the emperor really wants to plot against you, then if he finds that this method doesn't work for you, he will definitely think of other ways.
"General, what are you going to do from now on? You can't always live in an atmosphere of being plotted against, and you can't avoid every plot."
Zhao Yuxiao lowered his eyes to look at Ying Xixi's furrowed brows and raised his eyebrows, "Chunhua, are you worried about me?"
"Yes, General, you are my breadwinner!
Only if you are well, can I be a maid in the general's mansion for the rest of my life!"
Ying Xixi is extremely sincere.
Zhao Yuxiao: “…”
"Don't worry, I won't be killed so easily. Since the emperor wants me dead, why not just find someone else to be the emperor?"
Zhao Yuxiao said casually.
Ying Xixi scratched her head and thought carefully about the current situation in the royal family.
The current emperor has a difficult time having children. Although he has three thousand beauties in his harem, he does not have many princes and princesses.
In total, there is only one princess and two sons.
The princess married off a few years ago.
The remaining two sons, one is the Prince of Rui and the other is the Prince of Qi. They have been fighting with each other for the throne for many years.
The two are equally good, and neither is suitable to be the emperor.
Ying Xixi hesitated and asked Zhao Yuxiao, "General, then, between Prince Rui and Prince Qi, who do you want to replace?
Neither of them seems to be a good choice."
"I haven't decided yet, but it doesn't matter who I change, as long as I change to someone who won't be afraid of me.
Chunhua, I have only told you this, so please remember to keep it a secret for me."
Zhao Yuxiao lowered his eyes and looked at Ying Xixi who was thinking seriously. He couldn't help but raise his hand to rub the top of her head.
Ying Xixi, who was suddenly and uncomfortably pulled by the top of her head, said: "???"
She looked up with a confused expression, "General?"
Zhao Yuxiao covered his lips and cleared his throat. "There's a bug in your hair. I'll remove it for you."
"Oh, thank you, General."
"You are welcome."
The two were silent for a moment, and Zhao Yuxiao continued, "Chunhua, next time you see your parents, if they ask about the letter, just tell them you've left it in my study."
"Okay, I'll take note. General, the first day of the lunar year is in two days. Can you go to the temple?"
"Yes, I have nothing to do that day, so we can go to Yuantong Temple together."
When this matter was mentioned, Zhao Yuxiao felt a little bit of anticipation in his heart.
He and Chunhua can finally go out together.
For the next two days, everything was calm.
Ying Xixi thought that if the emperor was really the mastermind behind this, he would probably wait for Ying's parents to ask her and confirm that the letter was really placed in Zhao Yuxiao's study before he would order someone to search the general's mansion.
Then Zhao Yuxiao would be safe until she met Ying's parents again.
Two days later, Ying Xixi and Zhao Yuxiao took a carriage to the suburbs together.
Yuantong Temple is located on the outskirts of the capital. As the general guarding the country, Zhao Yuxiao cannot leave the capital easily without the emperor's permission.
In order to leave Beijing smoothly today, Zhao Yuxiao went to the palace a few days ago to tell the emperor about this matter.
Of course, Zhao Yuxiao didn't tell Ying Xixi about this.
Along the way, Ying Xixi excitedly lifted the curtains and looked out.
Zhao Yuxiao, who had wanted to take this opportunity to chat more with Ying Xixi, saw that she was looking outside and spoke with a somewhat resentful tone.
"Chunhua, is it beautiful outside?"
"It's beautiful, General. The scenery outside is quite nice, and the wind is cool."
Ying Xixi smiled with her eyes curved.
Zhao Yuxiao looked at Ying Xixi's smile and his heart beat faster.
He rubbed his chest and laughed too.
"Is the scenery outside more beautiful than this General's?"
What Zhao Yuxiao said made Ying Xixi almost think that she had heard it wrong.
She turned her head to look at Zhao Yuxiao, who seemed to be spreading his wings, with an expression that was hard to describe.
"General, you are a human being after all, why do you want to compete with the scenery?
There’s no comparison.”
Zhao Yuxiao choked and felt inexplicably ashamed when Ying Xixi looked at him like that.
He covered his lips and coughed, "So what do you think of this general?"
