Chapter 256 He Knows It All
Upon hearing this, Wen En was silent for a while, but did not answer her question. Instead, he smiled and asked, "Isn't it good to have a smooth journey?"
"That's good, but..."
For some reason, she felt empty inside, as if something had been dug out from the depths of her soul.
Wen En raised the spoon and fed her the fish soup. "Don't think too much, sister. We will reach the border after passing through two more cities. As long as we return to Mobei, we can start our lives again."
Wen Wan instinctively stepped back to avoid his feeding.
She took the bowl of soup and said, "I'll drink it myself."
"Okay." A flash of disappointment passed through Winn's eyes, and then he smiled again and began to look forward to the better days in the future.
"Sister, I've thought it through. When we return to Mobei, I'll choose a good spot at the foot of Yunni Mountain and build a separate courtyard for you. I'll then bring in spring water from Yunni Mountain to irrigate the courtyard, and I'll definitely be able to plant a whole courtyard full of osmanthus trees."
"When the osmanthus flowers bloom, we'll brew osmanthus wine together. I also need to practice my drinking tolerance so that I can drink with my sister to my heart's content."
"The royal court is still a bit barren. Since you want to live with me, I must give you the best yard in the world, the best food to eat, and the most beautiful clothes to wear."
"By the way, sister, do you think we should raise some more lambs with pure fur? Didn't you say lambs are the cutest when they bleat..."
The firelight fell on Winn's face. He had delicate features, and the smile in his eyes was so rich that it looked like water could drip out of it.
His joy was pure and without any impurities; even the light in his light-black pupils was brighter than the stars in the sky.
For a moment, Wen Wan stared at the pair of bright eyes so infatuatedly that she forgot to react.
Suddenly, her heart skipped a beat.
"Yeah," Wen Wan said, and the hoarseness of her voice startled herself.
She heard herself ruthlessly interrupting Winn in a numb tone.
"Yeah, I never said I wanted to go to Mobei to live with you."
Many years later, Wen Wan could still clearly remember how despair broke on the handsome young man's face when she said this.
It turns out that you can really hear the sound of a broken heart.
At least, her head was confused for a moment at that time, and she heard the sound of breaking in a trance.
After saying this, she didn't even have the courage to look at Wen En again, and just lowered her head in embarrassment.
Time passed minute by minute, and she didn't know how long it had been. It was not until the fish soup in her hand had cooled down that she heard Wen En speak again.
When Wen Wan looked up again, she saw that Wen En's eyes were red and his lips couldn't help but tremble slightly when he spoke.
"Sister, if you don't want to go to Mobei, then where do you want to go?"
Wen Wan sighed in embarrassment, "I don't know, anyway, I'm going to a place where no one knows me."
"good."
Winn's voice trembled, but he still forced himself to smile so that she could feel at ease.
"Sis, if you don't want to go with me, then I will go with you! Wherever you go, I will go."
Wen Wan almost cried out, "Are you crazy? What nonsense are you talking about? Do you know what you are saying?"
"Of course I know." Wen En said in a deep voice: "I can accompany you wherever you want to go, no matter where you are."
He spoke very seriously, and it didn't seem like he was just talking casually.
Wen Wan stood there in a daze. Her palm trembled and the bowl of soup fell to the ground, spilling the pieces and soup, but she was completely unaware.
"You, you..." Wen Wan pursed her lips, not knowing what to say for a moment.
He has reached his current position step by step, and has paid so much. Even though Wen Wan has not experienced it personally, she can still imagine it. But he just gave up when he said he would?
After a moment, Wen Wan cleared her throat and sighed softly.
"Yeah."
Wen Wan pursed her lips and called him, then met his gaze and said slowly: "Yes, I treat you as my younger brother."
"I know." But he didn't care.
As long as he could be by her side, it would be fine. As for in what capacity, he didn't care. Anyway, without Chen Yu, there would be no other man by her side.
Because he would take care of other men before they could get close to her.
Wen En was secretly planning this and didn't think there was anything wrong with it. In his opinion, he lost to Shen Yu only because he met his sister too late.
Wen Wan didn't know what Wen En was thinking, she just felt that her brother was too clingy and she really couldn't do anything about him.
And from past experience, he definitely won't listen if you try to reason with him.
"Okay, I'm very sleepy. I'm going to bed."
Two tents were temporarily set up on the open space. Wen Wan walked towards the smaller one, lifted the curtain and hid inside.
Winn stared at the tent for a long time, and finally looked away reluctantly.
When they were talking, Minz and the others were not far away, and they all heard what Winn said.
Several guards were horrified, and Minz's face was gloomy, with his eyes filled with resentment and anger.
The bonfire was still burning, and by midnight, only two guards were keeping watch over it.
Winn and Minz were sleeping in the big tent. Two guards lifted the curtain and Minz bent down and came out of the tent.
"I used soothing incense in the tent. Your Highness won't wake up for a while. You guys keep watch carefully. I'll go to the back hall with Miss Wen to talk for a few minutes."
After giving a few instructions, Minz walked towards the small tent.
Wen Wan lifted the curtain and was not surprised to see Min Zi. She also heard what he said to the guards.
Min Zi walked in front holding a candle, and Wen Wan followed him without hesitation.
There are only a few broken Buddha statues in the back hall of the dilapidated temple.
The two stopped under the Buddha statue. Min Zi placed the candle on the stone platform in front of the broken Buddha statue, turned around and knelt in front of Wen Wan.
He kowtowed first, and then said earnestly:
"Miss Wen, please let His Highness go."
In fact, Wen Wan could guess what Min Zi would say. To them, perhaps she was just like the evil concubine who brought disaster to the country, who was corrupting the mind of their prince and hindering his great cause.
Wen Wan said calmly: "You know very well that it's not that I won't let him go, but that he won't let go."
Minzi: "Well, I know, that's why I beg you, otherwise... I will kill you directly to prevent future troubles."
He was straightforward and didn't hide his murderous intentions towards her at all.
Minz raised his head, his expression very calm. "Miss Wen, there's something I hope you understand. Given His Highness's current situation, he can only strive for power and cannot retreat. If he retreats, he will no longer have the power to fight those people, and they will kill him without a burial place."
Minz was not exaggerating to scare her.
Wen En walked through mountains of corpses and seas of blood to reach his current position. Those people hiding in the dark would like to drink his blood and eat his flesh. They are just waiting to take his life while he is sick.
