Chapter 221 The Princess Meets Xu Jingyang
They started climbing from halfway up the mountain. The roads were all mountain roads that had been repaired by previous generations and were quite easy to walk on.
It is about two hours away from the top of the mountain.
Xu Jingyang was woken up at the end of the day and was still sleepy. After walking for more than an hour, her pace slowed down.
Hou Yue and Qi An were behind them.
As Xu Jingyang slowed down, the other two also slowed down.
It was still dark. Xu Jingyang looked at the endless mountain road ahead and felt that he was shooting himself in the foot.
Qi Yunshen stopped.
Xu Jingyang's forehead was covered with sweat. She looked at Qi Yunshen expressionlessly. The man looked normal, not even a single hair was out of place.
Qi Yunshen curled his lips and bent down: "Come up."
Xu Jingyang didn't hesitate and lay on Qi Yunshen's back. Qi Yunshen's body was as hard as iron. She lay on the man's broad shoulders, and her lower body finally felt a little relaxed. She sighed softly.
Qi Yunshen firmly hooked her legs together and asked, "Are you tired already?"
Xu Jingyang muttered, "It's amazing that I can walk this long."
Qi Yunshen carried her on his back and walked even faster than before. The mountain breeze blew away the heat from Xu Jingyang's body. She relaxed all over and couldn't help but sigh that this was the difference in physical strength between men and women.
Xu Jingyang decided that she would start exercising when she returned!
Xu Jingyang wrapped his arms around Qi Yunshen's neck with peace of mind. The man paused, and he turned his gaze slightly to meet Xu Jingyang's inquiring eyes. The two were so close that if Xu Jingyang raised his head slightly, he could kiss Qi Yunshen's sharp jaw.
Qi Yunshen's throat moved slightly, he turned his gaze forward and asked, "What are you thinking about?"
Xu Jingyang hummed softly: "When I get back, I will exercise every day."
Qi Yunshen chuckled. He didn't say yes or no, but looked at Xu Jingyang for a moment.
The road to the top of the mountain was a bit rugged. Xu Jingyang got down from Qi Yunshen's back. There was heavy fog on the mountain. After a quarter of an hour, the four of them reached the top of the mountain.
At this time, the morning light appeared on the horizon, breaking through the darkness. The sky changed from black to deep blue. They stood on the top of the mountain, and the sea of clouds spread out before their eyes like a quilt. The scene was magnificent.
The sun rises from the end, and the rays of light are deep and light.
Qi Yunshen hugged Xu Jingyang from behind, and his low voice sounded in her ears.
"Jingyang, can we get married?"
As soon as the words came out, Xu Jingyang was stunned for a moment. She opened her lips and said, "Wait a moment, I will enjoy the beautiful scenery first, please don't disturb my mind."
Qi Yunshen: “…………”
Xu Jingyang herself didn't believe that she didn't like Qi Yunshen. From the time she woke up until now, Qi Yunshen's shadow was everywhere in her life. Although she didn't remember anything, this body didn't reject Qi Yunshen's approach, and occasionally there would even be a hint of... joy.
Most men in the world are fickle, and the love stories in the novels are all fake.
Who in reality could do this, take her to sea for medical treatment, take care of her daily life after she lost her memory, change her name in order to marry her, and give her all the property under his name.
What's more, this person is the pride of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.
She has medical skills, so she can survive in the capital even without Qi Yunshen.
Xu Jingyang kept thinking about this until the sun rose high and the sky became bright.
The person behind him tightened his arms and shoulders, as if trying to embed Xu Jingyang into his body.
Xu Jingyang held Qi Yunshen's big hand and whispered, "After returning to Beijing, I want to see my master."
Qi Yunshen looked at her deeply.
On the way back, people came up the mountain to play, both men and women, and there were also nearby villagers selling fruits and vegetables in the pavilions on the side of the road.
Qi Yunshen had a day off yesterday. After sending Xu Jingyang back to Jing Mansion, he went to the military camp again in the afternoon.
Xu Jingyang returned home, changed her clothes, and dressed as a man. She took Hou Yue to inspect several tea shops and did not let Qi An follow them.
Xu Jingyang found a teahouse to sit in, where a storyteller was chatting with several scholars.
"Prince Qi has captured five cities in Xixia, and his rank has been promoted again. He has now been promoted to General of the Cavalry! If we can serve under Prince Qi, our future will be limitless. Then the generals under him will all be promoted."
"My younger brother's classmate's eldest brother used to be a staff member in Prince Yu's palace. Ever since Prince Yu was imprisoned, the staff members in the palace have left and scattered, and all of them have become accountants in poverty. Alas, it's just the same people with different fates."
"Shh, don't say that to anyone."
"Oh, why can't I mention this? Now that His Royal Highness is getting better, Prince Yu is probably completely hopeless."
"His Royal Highness's illness is also strange."
"I heard that Prince Qi asked Divine Doctor Gu to treat His Highness."
"I heard that the emperor was planning to arrange a marriage for Prince Qi a while ago. The Qi family is so powerful now, who knows which girl will be the winner in the end?"
Xu Jingyang drank tea quietly with an indifferent expression.
Hou Yue glanced at her, and someone on the other end continued talking.
Someone shook his head: "It's hard to say."
"The Crown Prince's Consort has been dead for over four years. Not a single member of the Xu family, her family's origin, is left alive. It's impossible for Crown Prince Qi to remain unmarried for his entire life."
Xu Jingyang put down the teacup in his hand and looked at Hou Yue beside him.
Hou Yue looked away awkwardly.
Xu Jingyang lifted the bamboo curtain and asked, "Excuse me, everyone, do you know the name of the Crown Prince's Consort?"
"This... seems to be called Xu something."
"Xu Jing..."
"Xu Jingyang!"
Xu Jingyang's knuckles turned white as he pinched the bamboo curtain. "Oh? Is this Xu Jingyang from the capital?"
"I don't know about this young master. A long time ago, the daughter of the Xu family went missing. Then the former Prime Minister Xu Shibing took his illegitimate daughter back. Later, the biological daughter, Xu Jingyang, returned to the Xu family. She seemed to be a fool or something, and ended up marrying Prince Qi. She ended up being burned to death in a fire."
"I heard that the one who burned her to death seemed to be that illegitimate daughter."
"Don't say it's so unpleasant to call her an illegitimate daughter. She even married Prince Yu and became his consort."
"Bah, Princess Yu, do you think you're the beggar under the bridge, going crazy all day saying you're Princess Yu?"
Xu Jingyang's body swayed, and the sunlight outside stung her eyes.
Xie Xuan is right.
She died four years ago, burned to death.
She clutched the bamboo curtain, and a large flame seemed to flash before her eyes. She also seemed to see the shadow of Qi Yunshen holding a sword outside the door. Xu Jingyang shook her head, and she exerted force in her hand and pulled the bamboo curtain down.
Hou Yue: "Are you okay?"
Seeing this, the scholars hurriedly asked, "Young Master, are you okay?"
Xu Jingyang came back to her senses and looked straight ahead.
"Anything else?" The thorns of the bamboo shards pierced Xu Jingyang's palm. She asked, "About Xu Jingyang."
"Oh, they have a daughter."
"The Crown Prince's Consort was killed right after giving birth to a daughter."
Xu Jingyang murmured, "Daughter?"
Her voice was very soft.
As Xu Jingyang walked out of the teahouse, tears instantly fell from her eyes. She held onto the pillar outside the teahouse and gasped for breath.
Hou Yue was at a loss, she wanted to take Xu Jingyang back.
As soon as the eldest princess came out of the palace, Emperor Jingming gave her many portraits and asked her to take them back to Qi Yunshen to choose carefully.
The carriage drove through the market, which is the junction of the East Market and the West Market. The traffic was quite congested and the carriage moved slowly.
The eldest princess lifted the curtain and looked forward, but she caught a glimpse of a figure outside the teahouse out of the corner of her eye.
The man was dressed as a young man with his head lowered, revealing a very white neck, and a girl was standing next to him.
The eldest princess narrowed her eyes and asked, "Is that Yun Zheng's former bodyguard?"
The eldest princess recognized Hou Yue.
Nanny Liang also stuck her head out and looked outside. "Yes, I recognize you."
The eldest princess said: "Go and call her over. I want to ask about Yun Zheng."
Nanny Liang: "Yes."
Nanny Liang got off the carriage and walked up to the two men. The three of them exchanged a few words, and the young man raised his head, revealing a delicate, porcelain-white face.
Nanny Liang suddenly cried out, her expression shocked and a little terrified.
How is this possible???
Nanny Liang was stunned: "Crown Prince's Consort?"
Hou Yue gripped the sword tightly.
Xu Jingyang looked weak. She looked in the direction where Nanny Liang came from and met the horrified face of Princess Yude.
The next moment, Xu Jingyang's body softened and he closed his eyes.
