Military camps are important places, and civilians are usually driven away if they approach them. How could they possibly tolerate a woman like Jiang Tian, whose background is unknown, coming and going at will?
This was Yuan Ye's scheme from the beginning.
Not long ago, he went to war in place of his cousin and came here to rest and recuperate. Everything was peaceful for the first few days, but not long after, his whereabouts were almost exposed.
Even though he was treated as her cousin and his true identity was not revealed, the position of a general was still very important. Unless someone was deliberately trying to find out his whereabouts, no one would choose to investigate.
Fortunately, his men intercepted the message in time; otherwise, who knows what danger might have occurred.
The barbarians are eyeing him covetously. He went to the frontier to lead troops into battle, not to play house with children.
If someone is cheating him behind his back, he must find out the truth.
The purpose of those who wanted to spy on him was obvious.
Yuan Ye originally didn't plan to stay here for long, but after discovering the traitor, he changed his mind and stayed a few more days in order to catch the spy as soon as possible.
After a thorough investigation, he determined that the spy must be someone in the military camp.
So he set a trap.
The once heavily guarded military camp suddenly became lax.
These days, we've caught quite a few suspicious people, and Yuan Yejun personally checks them all.
Unexpectedly, there were more than one group of spies in the military camp—multiple forces wanted to find out the whereabouts of this "general".
Since we're going to investigate, we should investigate to the end.
Yuan Ye ordered the others to continue the investigation, and as they investigated, Jiang Tian was caught.
Her background is naturally known to everyone.
The person who was rescued by the general on the stormy night should have been grateful to him, but apart from recuperating, Jiang Tian only asked the soldier guarding her once, saying that she wanted to see the general.
After being rejected, she seemed to lose all interest and spent her days listlessly following Aunt Wang to the kitchen camp.
Several days passed, and she still didn't get tired of it.
Her behavior became increasingly suspicious.
A frail woman, now that her injuries have healed, shouldn't she have left as soon as possible? But instead of leaving, she started clinging to Aunt Wang and getting close to the other cooks.
She must have some wicked ideas.
Upon receiving the report, Yuan Ye was somewhat surprised.
It's true that Jiang Tian was rescued by him, but he had too many things to do. After ordering others to settle her in, he forgot about her.
Chen Ziming mentioned it once, but he didn't pay attention.
This time, she was even suspected of being a spy.
Reason told Yuan Ye that Jiang Tian had no motive.
On that rainy night, he changed his route at the last minute and took that road. Apart from his personal guards who were riding with him, no one could have predicted that they would take the side road.
At that time, Jiang Tian was seriously injured and was already lying under the tree.
If they hadn't happened to pass by, Jiang Tian would have surely died.
Even if he ordered someone to rescue her and bring her here, Chen Ziming was not confident that he could save her life.
She had only been unconscious for a few days when she woke up. Apart from Aunt Wang, she had no personal relationship with anyone else. Who could she be a spy for?
However, one must be cautious in all things; it is better to believe it exists than to believe it doesn't.
Since Jiang Tian's behavior was suspicious, Yuan Ye still intended to meet with her.
Better to kill the innocent than to miss the opportunity.
He needed to see for himself who she really was.
Jiang Tian was brought over.
Upon seeing her face, Yuan Ye's gaze paused for a moment.
In his memory, Jiang Tian was still that woman on the verge of death. Now she looks bright-eyed and white-toothed, and although her face is a little pale, it does not hide her natural beauty.
But he was born into nobility, the crown prince of a country, and had seen all kinds of beautiful women.
Although Jiang Tian was somewhat attractive, he hadn't taken a liking to her yet.
He simply stared at her and asked, "Now that your poison has been cured, why don't you leave?"
Jiang Tian didn't say a word, but respectfully bowed to him.
"Upon learning that it was the general who ordered my rescue, I was filled with immense gratitude. I had long wished to thank the general in person, but the opportunity had never come. Today, my wish has finally been fulfilled."
Yuan Ye frowned slightly, suddenly guessing her thoughts: "You deliberately wandered around the military camp just to see me?"
Jiang Tian paused for a moment, then lowered her head and said, "Yes, I have heard that there are no idlers in the military camp. Anyone with suspicious behavior will be brought before the commander. In order to see you, I had no choice but to resort to this tactic."
On the night of the Lantern Festival, I was speechless.
"Swords and blades have no eyes. You were lucky this time. If it were anywhere else, you would have been stabbed to death before you even saw me."
Jiang Tian's voice even carried a hint of laughter: "I didn't want to live in the first place. Now that you've saved me, my life is yours. If you want to take it away, what complaints do I have?"
Jiang Tian's words were very sincere, but Yuan Ye did not immediately believe them.
He ignored Jiang Tian's gesture of loyalty and said in a deep voice, "Since they brought you here, I need to conduct a routine investigation. Even if I rescued you, who knows what secrets you are hiding?"
When she came in, her clothes and shoes had been checked and there were no problems.
Her residence was also thoroughly searched, and apart from a set of tattered clothes and a few banknotes, she had nothing left.
From the perspective of physical evidence, she has no problems whatsoever.
Yuan Ye stared at her: "Where are you from? Why are you lying under that tree?"
Jiang Tian lowered her head and spoke in a very gentle voice: "I am from the capital. I was poisoned and the poison took effect. I ran away and, in a daze, ran to that tree. Due to exhaustion, I fainted."
Why were you poisoned?
“My husband wanted me to die so he could marry a new wife, so he had someone poison me for a long time, hoping I would die silently.”
Yuan Ye's expression remained unchanged.
Although Jiang Tian looks young, it's not surprising that she's been married before.
Yuan Ye continued to stare at her: "Who is your husband's family?"
"General, I cannot say."
Yuan Ye looked at her.
Everyone has secrets, and it's understandable that she wants to hide hers.
Yuan Ye was not familiar with her face, and she probably did not come from a high-ranking official or noble family.
She had no identification among the only belongings she had.
Yuan Ye's main concern right now is war, so he can't afford to spend much time on a woman.
"I can believe what you say, or I can not believe it," Yuan Ye said slowly.
"If the general doesn't believe me, then so be it. But I'm not a spy, you're free to investigate."
Jiang Tian appeared extremely calm.
Yuan Ye stared at her for a long time: "You may not be, but I can't keep you here any longer. Leave the military camp. I'll send someone to watch over you, and if anything unusual happens, he'll handle it himself."
Yuan Ye observed Jiang Tian's various actions.
She was quite intelligent and calm.
"General, may I come with you?" Jiang Tian asked, pursing her lips, after learning that she would be left behind.
"No." Yuan Ye said.
