It was already late at night when they returned. Xihe lay in Fu Yu's arms. The carriage was shaking and she felt a little drowsy for a while.
"Thank you." Her voice was barely audible.
"How do you thank me?" Fu Yu had sharp ears and heard it immediately.
With a helpless smile, Xihe opened her eyes, raised her head and kissed him lightly on the chin: "Is this enough?"
It was freezing outside the window, but warm as spring inside. The dim light shone on her little face, her features were delicate and charming. Fu Yu's heart moved, and he lowered his head to deepen the kiss.
The car stopped in front of the mansion gate, and Fu Yu got out, holding Xi He in his arms. Maids and servants bowed their heads wherever they passed.
The next day, Xihe woke up and touched her side, and found it was cold. Fu Yu had already left.
"Miss, someone is looking for you." The little maid came in.
"Who?" Xihe asked in confusion.
She has always lived in seclusion, and Fu Yu has kept her information very secret. Even his subordinates who used to be in the capital are not allowed to come to the mansion, so who would look for her?
"A girl." Xiaomei hesitated.
"Please ask her to come in." Xihe's heart moved.
Sure enough, when the person came in, it turned out to be the Crown Princess. The two of them had a very pleasant chat yesterday. The Crown Princess said she would come to visit today. I didn't expect her to come so early.
Xihe blushed a little: "Sorry to have kept you waiting for a long time."
People came to play with her, but she was sleeping there.
"It's okay. You and the general have a good relationship, which is a good thing," the Crown Princess said with a smile. She had changed into women's clothing today, accompanied by two maids. Her legs were steady, suggesting she was skilled in martial arts.
The Crown Princess was a gentle and virtuous woman, and she handled things with great generosity. Xihe chatted with her until the afternoon, and was quite reluctant to leave when she went back.
"Why aren't you making any noise?" The dog suddenly jumped out.
"What?" It was so cold outside that Xihe hid in the quilt again.
"Why don't you stop that traitor?" Gou Zi was very disappointed. "You just stayed at home all day eating, drinking and having fun. You didn't even know Fu Yu was dead."
"What's the rush?"
Xihe rolled over, peeled a grape, and popped it into his mouth. He'd heard it was hard to come by. "I'll be fighting for a few days. If I start so early, what if something unexpected happens?"
"You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, understand?"
"Haha." Gouzi snorted coldly: "I think you are just lazy."
Xihe was helpless. She stretched out her bare hands and grabbed something. With a "thump", a black dog with a black face fell onto the bed.
"Why are you looking so gloomy? Eat some grapes." Xihe opened its mouth and stuffed one in.
The dog chewed and chewed, then with a "ahh" sound, all the grapes on the plate were stuffed into his mouth. He said angrily, "Ahh, pig, lazy pig, next time I will send you to the wilderness."
Xihe: "...Are you sure?"
The dog gave her a sidelong glance, the meaning of which was self-evident. Xihe said "Oh" lightly and kicked it back into space: "Then have fun on your own."
Silly dog, why don’t you go to the desolate mountains and wilderness?
A few days later, the war broke out. The city was filled with angry sounds of killing the enemy, and the noise lasted from morning to evening.
Xihe wanted to go out and find out what was going on, but the mansion was surrounded like an iron barrel.
"Miss, what should we do? How about we run away?" Xiaomei hid in the house, her face covered with tears and her body shaking like a sieve.
The war lasted for two or three days. There was news at the beginning, but no news has been heard in the past two days. However, from the fact that the number of people protecting the mansion is decreasing, it is clear that the situation is not optimistic.
