Later, when she was no longer in the Prime Minister's Mansion, I felt lonely.
Maybe people are like this. They only regret when they lose something.
I resisted the urge to inquire about her, and my mother no longer paid any attention to me because of my behavior. After all, he was a beast if he could send his own wife away with his own hands.
When Xiao Yimo came to me again, I just dealt with him.
Now that she has established herself in the palace, she doesn't need my help.
If I wanted to gain one more person's admiration, then my liking would have disappeared long ago.
When I got the news that she was gone, I felt like my whole world collapsed.
In the following days, I became thinner and thinner. Although I was young, my body was not even as good as that of an old man.
I want to help her get revenge, but I am only the Prime Minister of Chen State and cannot mobilize military power.
Therefore, when the Jiang Kingdom invaded again, I asked to go to the border. The emperor refused at first, but later, seeing my firm attitude, he agreed.
When I arrived at the border, I realized that my literary writings were of no use at all. Here, there were soldiers fighting and the people were living in fear.
For the first time, I began to question myself. Could I really defend my country by only learning from the words in the books?
Because of my status, even the general won't blame me.
But I wanted to do something, even if it was just killing someone from Jiang State, it would at least avenge her.
So the first time I killed someone was on the battlefield. The sunset at the border that day was beautiful, and I slowly fell to the ground. At this time, I seemed to see the figure I had been thinking about day and night again.
I have let my wife and my mother down in this life.
I have not been considerate at all to my wife, and I have been unfilial to my mother.
Although I have arranged my mother's future life, I still want her to
I can only say that I don't know where the love comes from, but I love her deeply. If I could do it again, I would definitely treat her well.
——
I don’t know if God heard my thoughts, but when I opened my eyes, I found that I was back in life, and I hadn’t married yet.
Thinking of the woman's face, I couldn't wait to go to the Duke's Mansion to propose marriage.
Everything is going back to the old way, and I feel relieved.
My mother initially thought that if Xiao Yimo entered the palace and became Concubine Xiao, I would be very sad and would never marry again.
How could I be sad? I was so happy at that moment that I didn't even have time to express it. Moreover, I remembered that in her previous life, Yun Xi didn't like the marriage arranged by the emperor, so I went to the Duke's Mansion to propose marriage myself.
Little did I know that the Duke's Mansion did not immediately agree to my request.
At this time, I thought of the emperor's arranged marriage. After all, in my previous life, Xiao Yimo had just entered the palace and asked the emperor for an order to arrange a marriage for me.
I don't know why things have changed in this life. Although Xiao Yimo asked the emperor to marry Miss Jian to me, I naturally did not agree.
I rejected the emperor's marriage proposal, but after granting it, I went to the Duke's Mansion to ask for marriage. Little did I know that the Duke agreed to the proposal from General Shen's Mansion because he owed the Shen Mansion a life-saving favor.
It was only then that I started to panic, and I went straight to find the woman.
This meeting felt like a lifetime ago, and I don’t know if it was because I hadn’t seen her for too long, but I felt that she was different from the person I remembered.
The woman's eyes were very cold, no longer showing the warmth she had in her previous life. I felt a little uncomfortable, but this was the first time I met her after all.
I thought she didn't want to marry Shen Moye, so I promised to help her cancel the engagement. However, I didn't expect that the girl rejected my kindness. When I looked at her back, I realized that this time she and I might be drifting further and further apart.
Shen Moye is not just a playboy as rumored, he made great contributions in the border battle.
At this moment, I suddenly felt that my behavior was very despicable. I thought that I let Shen Moye go to the battlefield to deceive people and kill him on the battlefield.
I felt ashamed. Perhaps only a young man like this was worthy of her.
Behind us is the palace. The virtuous king actually forced his way out of the palace. Seeing Shen Moye standing on the virtuous king's side, my first reaction was to worry whether Shen Moye would harm Fu Yunxi by doing this.
Little did he know that this was just his plan. In the end, both the emperor and the virtuous prince were defeated, and the prince Jing ascended the throne.
I also have to admit that Prince Jing is kind and is indeed the most suitable person to be the gentleman king.
I don’t know if it’s because I’m just a bystander in this life, but I’ve seen a lot of Xiao Yimo’s shortcomings, and I can clearly see the ambition in her eyes. In my previous life, I was a camphor leaf and didn’t notice these things.
Every time she did something bad, she always liked to cover it up with tears. However, for the sake of that little bit of childhood friendship, I only helped her leave the palace for the last time, and there was no news of her after that.
The wedding banquet between the Shen Mansion and the Duke's Mansion was grand, and the news spread throughout the capital, but I made the excuse that I was not feeling well and did not go to the Shen Mansion.
Listening to the words "Walking Without Hurt" outside, I feel my heart bleeding. I just hope that he can be happy in this life, even if that person is not me.
After they had settled down, I thought that I must be filial to my mother in this life and make up for the debt I owed in my previous life.
Not long after, the State of Jiang invaded the border again. This time, the emperor was going to lead the army in person. It was the first time that Shen Moye and I had the same idea in the court.
Who knew that besides Shen Moye, Fu Yunxi was also going to the border this time.
After they returned victorious, I learned that the reason they were able to win the battle was because of the firearms made by Fu Yunxi.
For a moment, Fu Yunxi became a hero who was as brave as any man. I frowned and realized that Fu Yunxi was no longer the woman I knew in my previous life. However, it was admirable that she could be like this.
General Shen and his wife were in perfect harmony, and everyone in the capital knew about it.
Seeing the woman's face full of happy smile, I stopped her when I met her on the street one day.
The woman didn't say anything. I suggested we have a chat in a teahouse, and she didn't refuse.
When I learned that she was not the person from my previous life, a flash of understanding passed through my mind, but my heart was even more painful. Could it be that I could never repay what I owed her?
Because what happened to me was unusual, I didn't doubt that Fu Yunxi was lying. Something happens to everyone, and it's just what God has destined.
But now that I know that Fu Yunxi is not the "Fu Yunxi" from her previous life, I wish her and Shen Moye a long and happy life together.
I am still young, but I feel like I have experienced a lot and I don’t even think about getting married anymore.
My mother seemed to see what I was thinking and didn't rush me, so the days passed one by one.
Actually, this is quite good.
Since the defeat of Jiang State, Jiang State did not dare to invade again, and Chen State also began to pay attention to military generals.
With Shen Moye training those soldiers and producing several good generals, the people of Chen State can live and work in peace and contentment for at least several decades.
With the stability of the border, the role of civil servants like me is highlighted.
