Chapter 1105 Now, do you regret it?
Hearing Shi Yuxin's sharp question, even Hua Ziying, who was standing to the side, frowned and turned to look at Xiao Yuansui.
Xiao Yuansui frowned slightly, but then relaxed, a faint, confident smile appearing on his lips. He said, "No, it can't go on indefinitely."
"..."
"If my estimation is correct, there will definitely be a result within three days."
"result?"
These two words made Shi Yuxin feel a little confused.
Xiao Yuansui just said that one of them and Yuwen Ye would lose their composure first, but what is the "result"? Does it refer to the outcome of who loses their composure first?
And why three days?
Before she could ask another question, Xiao Yuansui smiled and said, "General Shi, after you returned and learned of your brother's capture, you have remained calm and have shown no intention of leading troops to his rescue. In other words, you yourself understand that the best course of action now is to wait."
"..."
"In that case, why not trust me, and trust yourself as well?"
"..."
Hearing this, Shi Yuxin held her breath and stared at him for a long time before finally letting out a long sigh and saying, "Alright."
"..."
"But I also hope that the General understands that no matter the outcome of the battle, I do not want my brother to suffer any harm. Even if his rash actions violated military orders, it is the military orders, and it is I, who shall punish him."
Xiao Yuansui nodded: "I understand."
Shi Yuxin let out a deep breath, then stood up, bowed to Xiao Yuansui and Hua Ziying, and turned to leave.
As soon as she left, Hua Ziying immediately looked at Xiao Yuansui: "Brother, three days?"
Facing him, Xiao Yuansui's smile no longer held so much mystery, and he simply said, "You've forgotten, we're not the only ones in dire straits right now."
Not just them, who else?
Yuwen Ye?
still--
Before he could think it through, Xiao Yuansui sighed wearily and said, "Alright, you can go now. I see you haven't slept all night either, go and rest for a while. We may not need to send troops out for the next two days, but we can't slack off. The men below need to be trained properly when it's time to train. Yuwen Ye's troops are all highly trained by him, and they are not easy to deal with."
This was a mistake that Hua Ziying had made in the past. He nodded with a sense of sympathy, glanced at Xiao Yuansui, and then turned and left.
After everyone left, Xiao Yuansui sat in his seat for a while longer.
Actually, he was the one who hadn't closed his eyes all night. At this moment, he did feel waves of weariness washing over him. Each breath seemed to pull his eyelids down a little, but for some reason, he didn't want to lie down and sleep. So he clenched his fists and placed them on his knees, sitting like a statue for a long time. Finally, he sighed and stood up.
When I stepped out of the tent, the rain was still pouring down. A gust of wind hit me, and a fine layer of dew covered my face.
A soldier guarding outside the tent immediately picked up an umbrella from beside his feet to give to him, but Xiao Yuansui waved his hand and said, "I'm just walking around, no need to make a fuss."
The two immediately replied, "Yes."
So he walked slowly forward in the rain. Soon his hair was covered with raindrops and his shoulders were soaked. In the cool early autumn, the wind blew and the chill seeped directly into his bones, but he seemed not to feel anything. Before he got even wetter, he reached a tent.
It is Shang Ruyi's tent.
The soldiers had just finished lunch and were resting, so there were few people around. Xiao Yuansui didn't care if anyone saw him paying too much attention to the "prisoner," but he didn't go in immediately. Instead, he stood outside the tent and quietly listened to the pattering of the rain on the tent.
Between the sounds, you could hear people talking inside—
"Your Highness, I've finished sewing it. Please take a look."
"Give it to me."
"Yes...Your Highness, with your face like this, what will become of you in the future?"
"Stop talking."
Hearing that deep, somewhat hoarse voice, Xiao Yuansui's brows furrowed even more. Just then, as if sensing something, several heavy and hurried footsteps sounded, and the curtain was suddenly lifted by a fair but rough hand.
Wo Xue stood at the door, frowning as she looked at Xiao Yuan Sui.
Upon seeing her, Xiao Yuansui immediately suppressed his superfluous expression, only a slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, but there was no trace of a smile in his eyes: "You are the girl they were talking about named Woxue. I heard you are very skilled."
"..."
"However, here, even the best skills are useless."
"..."
"It's best to put away anything useless. Otherwise, if I punish you, I won't be able to find anyone who can take better care of your princess."
Upon hearing this, Wo Xue frowned but remained silent.
Xiao Yuansui said, "Step aside, I want to see your queen."
Wo Xue hesitated for a moment, probably knowing that in this place, Xiao Yuan Sui's words were no different from an imperial edict, and she couldn't stop him. Moreover, he had just made it very clear that if she dared to make a move, he would not show mercy to an ordinary girl like her. If she died, Shang Ru Yi would be even more alone.
But she was unwilling to just give way like that.
At that moment, Shang Ruyi's deep voice came from behind: "Let him in."
"..."
Wo Xue let out a deep breath, then took two steps back to the side. Xiao Yuan Sui lowered his head and walked into the tent filled with the smell of medicine.
Shang Ruyi was sitting on the edge of the bed. When she saw him come in, she looked up at him.
The moment their eyes met, Xiao Yuansui's breath hitched.
He saw Shang Ruyi's face—actually, he couldn't see her face. At this moment, her face was thickly wrapped in bandages from under her eyes to her philtrum, only her eyes and lips were exposed. Whether it was because she had been crying or for some other reason, her eyes were red, but they appeared even more distinct and bright, while her lips had a pale color due to blood loss. Her appearance was originally somewhat comical, but Xiao Yuansui felt as if his heart had been stabbed.
He instinctively wanted to walk over, but Wo Xue walked to Shang Ruyi's side first, her small figure invisibly separating the two.
So Xiao Yuansui only took two steps forward before stopping.
Seeing the look of frustration and anger in Shang Ruyi's eyes, he asked, "Is the injury... is it deep?"
Shang Ruyi was silent for a moment before saying, "She used that earring, which wasn't a sharp weapon, so the injury wasn't deep."
"..."
"But it may still leave a scar."
Xiao Yuansui frowned.
After a long silence, he suddenly chuckled and said, "Now, do you regret it?"
