Just as he finished speaking, his nose was scratched lightly.
"Is your husband the kind of shallow person who likes to take advantage of others?"
Murong smiled and shook her head: "My husband is a man of great righteousness, he would never do such a thing."
Qian Yeming finally nodded in satisfaction and continued, "He said that if I could help him save his son, he would be loyal to me forever. Although I was tempted, I refused at the time and helped him rescue his son without asking for anything in return."
"Then how did you two get together?"
She still remembered how deeply impressed she had been in her previous life when Qian Yeming, donning his battle armor and standing before an army of hundreds of thousands, had looked so heroic. She had always assumed he had only four men with him, until she realized later that he truly had the wherewithal to rival Murong Qingyu, and that this capital came from the 500,000-man army from the north. So, she had always wondered how Qian Yeming had managed to recruit this veteran, so loyal to the Emperor, into her fold.
"Three years ago, General Pei was ordered to return to the capital to report on his work. My father told him about his fear of Murong Qingyu, and also expressed his suspicion that Murong Qingyu would one day force the emperor to rebel.
My father feared that Murong Qingyu was promoting me to the throne in order to control me, a long-sick puppet, and ultimately achieve his own goal of ascending the throne. However, General Pei, having witnessed my skills, believed I was merely lying low, biding my time. He also believed I was the most qualified to ascend. So, the year I returned to the capital, he came to see me.
However, he also had his own demands. He was a subject of my father's throne, and no matter how old and blind he was, I could not commit regicide. Furthermore, to ensure the prosperity of Nanyue and prevent it from falling into the hands of others, he swore allegiance to me three years ago.
Murong Xiao nodded and sighed, "General Pei is indeed a rare and talented general. He is loyal, yet not pedantic or foolish."
Qian Yeming nodded: "Perhaps it should be said that his loyalty is not to a particular person, but to the country of Nanyue. He will choose whoever he believes can lead Nanyue to greater glory."
After saying that, Qian Yeming looked at Murong Xiao and asked, "So when you have time, you should go to Kuangfeng to act as a matchmaker and see which benefactor has captured Pei Mengting's heart. If possible, bring them together!"
"Is this still something you need to worry about?"
Looking at his smiling wife, Qian Yeming was filled with love in his heart. Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one around, he kissed her red lips fiercely.
Feeling her husband's love, Murong Xiao's heart moved slightly, and she took the initiative to wrap her arms around his neck. Gentle kisses, light pecks. Lips rolled around, arms embraced. It was as if they wanted to remember each other's scent forever.
"cough……"
A rather awkward yet persistent cough was heard from outside the door, and Qian Yeming and Murong Xiao reluctantly separated. They had long been accustomed to this cough outside the door. Ever since they started kissing so often, this cough had become a constant companion.
Murong Xiao pouted and straightened his clothes. After his wife finished, Qian Yeming said to the door in a chilling voice, "Qingfeng, if it's nothing serious, you can go outside and do horse stance for an hour later."
