Chapter 190 Silly Wife, You're the One Who Killed Me

Xiao Yu said, "It's okay. I'll just go in and wait."

Seeing that Xiao Yu didn't understand what he meant, Eunuch Li reminded him, "Young Master, the Emperor is busy and in a bad mood. Please come back in a few days."

Xiao Yu said anxiously, "I can't wait that long. I want to see my brother the Emperor right now."

Seeing that he couldn't persuade Xiao Yu, Eunuch Li sighed,

"Young Master, wait for me. I'll go and report it."

Xiao Yu nodded, "Go quickly."

Eunuch Li turned around and walked into the study. Seeing that the Emperor's face was gloomy, he stepped forward cautiously to report it.

"Your Majesty, the young master wants to see you."

Xiao Yun said, "Let him in."

"Yes." When Eunuch Li turned around, he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and walked out.

"Young Master, the Emperor is in a bad mood today. Please be careful with your words." Eunuch Li kindly reminded.

"Am I the kind of person who has no sense of propriety? Don't worry, Eunuch Li." Xiao Yu patted Eunuch Li's shoulder and strode in.

Eunuch Li smiled helplessly. When has the young master ever been so propriety

? After Xiao Yu walked in, he stepped forward and saluted, "May the Emperor be blessed with good health."

Xiao Yun glanced at Xiao Yu, "I am not in the mood to listen to your nonsense today. If you have something to say, just say it."

Xiao Yu also saw that Xiao Yun was unhappy, and had a bad feeling in his heart.

"Your Majesty, I came to the palace today to ask when Brother Xie will be back?"

Xiao Yun's eyes paused when he heard this. Thinking of the letter last night, he felt stuffy in his chest, as if something was blocking him.

He said in a deep voice: "This is not your business. You have already married, you should be more stable."

Xiao Yu said: "That's what the emperor taught, and I will follow his instructions. However, I was entrusted by Ning'er to go to the palace to inquire about the news of Brother Xie. Ning'er has been waiting in the mansion for half a year and is a little anxious."

Xiao Yun clenched the red pen in his hand. The people he sent out had no news for a while.

If what General Li said in the letter was true, he lost a good general, and Jiang Youning also lost a good husband.

No way, Xie Jing has been through hundreds of battles and has great martial arts skills. How could he die?

"Go back and tell her to wait in the mansion with peace of mind. I will tell her as soon as there is news."

Xiao Yu knew that Xiao Yun didn't want to tell the truth when he heard it. Maybe he himself didn't believe the news that Brother Xie was in trouble.

Perhaps, Xiao Yun was also thinking that he would not believe it until he got the definite news.

"Your Majesty, let's go back and wait for the news."

After Xiao Yu left, Xiao Yun put down the red brush in his hand and pinched his eyebrows.

Eunuch Li carefully brought hot tea to refresh the emperor.

The emperor had been in the study last night, holding the memorial, and had not slept all night.

When Xiao Yu came back, Jiang Youning and Chu Qing were halfway through lunch.

Jiang Youning saw that he had come back and didn't even bother to eat, "What did the emperor say?"

Xiao Yu sat down next to Chu Qing and then spoke, "I didn't ask the emperor directly, I just asked a few questions indirectly. The emperor didn't mention the memorial from General Li, so it's still unknown whether the news is true or not. However, the emperor doesn't believe the news that Brother Xie is in trouble. Let's wait a little longer."

Jiang Youning also felt that the news might not be accurate, and sometimes what you see might not be the truth, let alone things that happen thousands of miles away?

"I believe Xie Jing is fine, he will come back safely."

Xiao Yu said, "That's right to think so. Who is Brother Xie? He is the God of War, he will be fine."

Chun Tao brought the steaming hot rice and placed it in front of Xiao Yu, then stepped aside.

Jiang Youning said, "Let's eat first, and then we'll talk after we're done."

"Yeah." Xiao Yu went to the two meetings twice, which made her hungry stomach even hungrier.

After lunch, Jiang Youning and Xiao Yu sat in the side hall to chat.

Xiao Yu saw that Jiang Youning was still worried, and suggested, "Ning'er, why don't we go find Brother Xie?"

Jiang Youning hesitated, "What if Xie Jing comes back, won't I miss him?"

Xiao Yu thought about it, "Then let's wait a little longer, and then find Brother Xie when we have definite news."

Jiang Youning nodded in agreement, "Yeah, wait a little longer."

She couldn't sit still any longer.

Why didn't Brother write to me?

If Xie Jing was really in trouble, he should have written to her.

Xiao Yu was on the way to Prince Jing's Mansion with Chu Qing.

Chu Qing asked, "When did you and Jiang Youning meet?"

Xiao Yu thought for a while and said, "In late autumn last year, what happened?"

Chu Qing said, "I'm just a little curious. I feel that your relationship with Jiang Youning is better than that of good friends."

Xiao Yu smiled and said, "Of course, Jiang Youning and I hit it off at first sight, became friends at second sight, good friends at third sight, and good brothers at fourth sight."

Chu Qing: "..." Good brothers?

Xiao Yu said again, "Jiang Youning and I are always straightforward. When I go back to the general's mansion, I feel like I'm back home. I can eat whatever I want."

Chu Qing suddenly asked, "Don't you like Jiang Youning?"

Xiao Yu's smile froze. He felt that his wife had misunderstood him.

"I do like Jiang Youning, but not in the way you say."

Chu Qing asked back: "There are many kinds of likes? Then the likes you say are too diverse."

Xiao Yu explained: "Do you know what love between men and women is?"

Chu Qing shook her head, "I have never liked anyone."

Xiao Yu now understood that his wife didn't like him yet, so it was no wonder she didn't let him go to bed.

"My love for you is that I want to be together for the rest of my life, it's the love between men and women. My love for my parents is the love between relatives, and they are almost wearing out my love. My love for Jiang Youning is that I like her personality, her cooking skills, and the way I get along with her. In short, we are just a family, just short of a blood relationship."

Chu Qing was stunned when she heard this.

Xiao Yu asked: "Do you understand?"

Chu Qing nodded.

Xiao Yu looked at her cold face, and thought, "You understand? "

How could Chu Yang, such a lively and active man, give birth to such a cold daughter like Chu Qing?

"Okay, you will understand in the future, let's go home."

Chu Qing nodded, "You make sense."

Xiao Yu: "..." He sighed, silly wife.

Du Huilan has been thinking about how to make Jiang Youning and Nan Mianmian suffer these days. She even thought of hiring a killer.

But as for killers, Sinus said to hire a killer.

Find some men to defile them all, and see if Xie Jing still wants them.

But before the idea was put into action, the Du family received bad news.

General Du died suddenly last night.

General Du is the pillar of the Du family, with great military exploits, and all the glory was brought by General Du.

Without General Du, the Du family would fall into decline.

Du Huilan was stunned for a long time before she reacted, looking at Caiyue, "Don't talk nonsense, Grandpa was fine a few days ago, how come..."

Caiyue said; "Miss, who dares to lie about this?"

"Let's go back and take a look." Du Huilan clenched the handkerchief in her hand, stood up suddenly, and walked out.

Caiyue followed her out.

When Du Huilan returned to the Du family, the red lanterns at the gate had been replaced by white lanterns and white cloth was hung.

Her heart fell to the bottom in an instant. Grandpa really left?

Du Huilan walked in with her skirt lifted, and white lanterns and white cloth were also hung inside.

Walking further inside, they heard bursts of crying.

Du Huilan stood there blankly, still unable to believe that her grandpa had just left like this.

Mrs. Du saw her daughter coming back, walked over crying, took her daughter's hand and said: "Lan'er, your grandpa left so suddenly, you didn't even see him for the last time."

Du Huilan came to her senses and asked with a sob, "Mother, wasn't grandpa in good health? How could he suddenly..."

"It's all because of your good deeds. If it weren't for you, how could the old man be so angry?"

The speaker was General Du's daughter-in-law Xu.

Mrs. Du said angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about? Stop slandering me."

Mrs. Xu snorted coldly, "I'm talking nonsense? I'm slandering me? Do you think everyone in the Du family is blind? The old man has just recovered from a serious illness and his body hasn't recovered yet. It was you and your daughter who made the old man so angry that his face turned pale. He didn't even eat dinner that day, and he was not well the next day. The maidservants saw it with their own eyes."

Du Huilan's face turned a little paler. Thinking back to that day, the scene of the old man covering his chest, could it be that the old man was really angry to death by her?

The news of General Du's death quickly spread in Jinling.

Jiang Youning was a little surprised when she heard about it. She had just met General Du not long ago, so how could he die?

Chuntao said, "Everyone is saying that it was the second wife who pissed off General Du to death."

Jiang Youning sighed a little. She didn't know what happened to Xie Jing now. She was almost worried to death.

Inside the guesthouse

Xue Yi didn't see Jiang Qibai, so he came to the backyard.

There was a separate house in the backyard, and soldiers were guarding the door.

When Xue Yi walked in, he saw Jiang Qibai staring at Xie Jing's coffin, "Mr. Lu, you are here to see the general again."

Jiang Qibai turned his head and looked at Xue Yi, "Well, I promised my sister to take good care of Xie Jing, but an accident still happened."

Jiang Qibai felt guilty because he didn't do what he promised his sister, which made his sister lose her husband and sad.

At the same time, he also cherished talent.

Xie Jing's outstanding performance in the military is a rare pillar of the country and a military genius.

"This is not what we could have expected. General, I didn't expect it to be like this."

Xue Yi looked at Xie Jing's coffin. He had followed Xie Jing for so many years, but he really didn't expect Xie Jing to die young at

such a young age. Jiang Qibai said with regret, "A good general like Xie Jing should live a long life."

Xue Yi retracted his gaze and looked at Jiang Qibai, "If Madam knew, she would be very sad."

Even he was heartbroken when he learned that Xie Jing had died, let alone Jiang Youning?

Jiang Qibai didn't know how to write a letter to his sister Xue, so he didn't write a letter and planned to tell his sister in person.

Xue Yi said, "It will arrive in Jinling in half a month."

Jiang Qibai's face was heavy.

At this time, in the palace, Xiao Yun received another 800-mile express letter.

He could not wait to open it, and after reading the contents of the letter, his face turned pale.

He did not know how much self-control he had to use to not lose control.

Is Xie Jing really dead?

Xiao Yun could not help but want to question God, why did he let Xie Jing die young at such a young age?

He was such a good military commander, why did he treat him like that?

Xiao Yun locked himself in the study and did not see anyone.

The concubines in the palace were so anxious that they came to the study to see the emperor, but were blocked outside. The

queen also rushed over after hearing the news, but was still blocked outside by Eunuch Li.

The Queen asked, "The Emperor won't see me either?"

Eunuch Li bowed and replied, "Your Majesty, the Emperor said he won't see anyone either."

The Queen frowned upon hearing this and looked towards the closed study room. What happened to the Emperor?

Unable to enter, the Queen had to return to Fengyi Palace.

Eunuch Li looked at the Queen's back as she left, then glanced at the closed study room and sighed. He had served the Emperor for many years, but this was the first time he saw the Emperor so sad.

In the dead of night, the General's Mansion was quiet.

Xiao Yun walked out of the carriage and looked at the huge General's Mansion. He thought of Jiang Youning who was waiting for Xie Jing to come home.

He sighed. How could he tell Jiang Youning such bad news?

Seeing that the emperor neither went in nor left, Eunuch Li stepped forward and advised: "Your Majesty, it is cold and dewy, you should return to the palace early to avoid catching a cold."

Xiao Yun ignored him and kept staring at the general's mansion in front of him.

It was not until the fifth watch that Xiao Yun got into the carriage and returned to the palace for court.

Jiang Youning had breakfast and stood under the tree, looking at it. A fallen leaf fell on her shoulder, but she was too lazy to wave it away.

Leng Yu walked over and glanced at the leaf on Jiang Youning's shoulder, "Madam, the emperor came last night."

Jiang Youning turned around and looked at Leng Yu, her eyes full of surprise, "When did he come? Why didn't I know?"

Leng Yu replied; "The emperor just stood outside the wall of the general's mansion and didn't go in."

Jiang Youning's eyes flashed with confusion, "Why didn't the emperor come in when he came?"

Leng Yu said, "I don't know, this was discovered by my brothers during the night patrol last night. The emperor stood outside for two hours."

Jiang Youning didn't quite understand what Xiao Yun was doing.

She suddenly thought of Xie Jing. Could it be that there was news about Xie Jing?

Didn't he come in because the news was bad?

Jiang Youning stomped back and forth under the tree in agitation.

When Xiao Yu came, he saw this scene. He jumped down from the wall and walked straight to Jiang Youning.

"Ning'er."

Jiang Youning stopped when she heard the voice, raised her head and looked at Xiao Yu. She found that Xiao Yu had grown a little taller.

Xiao Yu asked worriedly, "What's wrong?"

Jiang Youning told Xiao Yu about Xiao Yun's visit to the General's Mansion last night.

"You said, the emperor came to the General's Mansion in the middle of the night, but didn't come in. Why?"

Xiao Yu was very surprised after hearing this. Xiao Yun was guarding the door in the middle of the night?

"Does he have something to say? Or..."

Xiao Yu had a bad feeling. Could something have happened to Xie Jing?

Jiang Youning said, "I always feel that the emperor knows the news about Xie Jing." Xiao

Yu said, "Wait a minute, I'll go to the palace to find out."

Jiang Youning nodded, "Remember to tell me if you have any news."

"No problem." Xiao Yu said, took a deep breath and jumped to the top of the wall, and finally disappeared between the pavilions.

Jiang Youning saw it and was very envious of Xiao Yu's light skills, coming and going freely without restrictions.

After entering the palace, Xiao Yu went directly to the study room, but found nothing. After asking, he learned that Xiao Yun had caught a cold and was bedridden.

Xiao Yu then came to the Yangxin Palace and happened to meet Eunuch Li.

"How is the emperor now?"
