Chapter 375 He is the culprit
"What..."
Xiao Jinxuan's chest made a thumping sound, as if someone had hit him hard on the head with a heavy hammer.
The culprit who caused Aning to be unable to get pregnant was not Ye Wuque, but herself?
His mind was dazed for a moment, but he quickly calmed down.
Ye Wuque is a man who is used to misleading people, and nothing he says can be trusted.
He said firmly, "It's impossible! That coral bracelet was a token of love between Emperor Gaozu and Empress Xiaoyi. There is no way there can be any problem with it!"
If there was a problem, how could they have been together for thirty years, living in love and having many children and grandchildren?
"Yes, it's fine for others to wear it, but it's a problem for Xiaocao'er to wear it. Your Highness, shouldn't you think about what went wrong?"
Ye Wuque was at ease, with an expression that showed he was enjoying a good show.
It seems that Daye is far from being as peaceful as it appears.
"Something went wrong..."
When Xiao Jinxuan heard this, an answer came to his mind, "Royal brother..."
This cloisonné and red coral bracelet was not to be buried with Empress Xiaoyi before her death, so it has been kept in the national treasury over the years.
It was not until Emperor Zhaowen arranged a marriage for him and Xie Zhuoning that he had it taken out and given it to him as a special gift.
He should have thought of it earlier...
Because he is a prince of the royal family, and because Xie Zhuoning has the support of the Marquis of Zhenyang and hundreds of thousands of Zhenbei troops.
Therefore, even if their marriage was allowed, the emperor's suspicion and jealousy would never allow them to have children!
Emperor Zhaowen even tried several times to lure Marquis Zhenyang back to Kyoto and capture him. Perhaps he was afraid that Marquis Zhenyang would rebel with the military power in his hands?
It turns out that the royal family really has no blood relationship at all...
It turns out that the brother who I relied on was calculating every step of the way...
Xiao Jinxuan staggered, stabbed his sword into the ground, steadied his body, and spat out a mouthful of blood!
Ye Wuque was enjoying watching the show, and even had a thought in his mind, wondering whether he should take advantage of Xiao Jinxuan's distracted state to launch a sneak attack or something.
I suffered such a great loss this time and ran back to Xichu in disgrace. I have to get back at least a little before leaving, right?
Before he could finish figuring out the result, he heard the sound of horses galloping towards him.
Looking up and seeing Xie Zhuoning's heroic figure on horseback, he raised his eyebrows and said, "It seems there is no chance."
"Please——"
Xie Zhuoning pulled the reins, stopped the horse, and jumped off the horse with Xia Ju, running straight to Xiao Jinxuan.
"Xiao Jinxuan, how are you? Where are you injured? Did Ye Wuque trick you into hurting you?"
This is what I said...
Ye Wuque raised his hands to show that he was innocent. "Xiao Cao'er, you think too highly of me. I and Thirteen are just two defeated soldiers. We are no match for His Royal Highness Prince Xuan."
Looking up and glaring at him, Xie Zhuoning didn't believe it and began to check Xiao Jinxuan's injuries.
Xiao Jinxuan immediately held her hand and looked into her eyes, which were full of bloodshot. "Aning, I'm sorry. I didn't protect you well. I didn't know that there was something wrong with the bracelet..."
Hearing this, Xie Zhuoning sighed, knowing that he knew everything.
"I know, it's not your fault."
When she first found out there was something wrong with the bracelet, she was sad for a moment, but she quickly figured it out.
Who least wanted her to be pregnant with Xiao Jinxuan's child, and who gave the bracelet to Xiao Jinxuan? The answer is almost self-evident.
She pretended to be angry and resentful just to relax Ye Wuque's vigilance.
Later, I didn’t tell Xiao Jinxuan about the bracelet because I was afraid that he would feel burdened.
I didn't expect that Ah Yu had such a big mouth that she told everything without reservation.
When she heard Xiao Jinxuan riding out in a domineering manner, she knew that he must have misunderstood what Ye Wuque had done to him, so she hurried over to stop him.
When Ye Wuque saw that Xie Zhuoning could still speak so gently, he felt so upset.
"Xiao Cao'er, I was the one who was wronged and almost hacked to death. Why don't you come and comfort me?"
To be honest, if he hadn't discovered the problem with the bracelet earlier, who knows what the consequences would be. They should all be grateful to him, right?
What a surprise! Instead of thanking me, I almost lost my life!
Xie Zhuoning glanced at him and frowned, "You talk too much nonsense! Why don't you hurry back to your Xi Chu? Do you want to be beaten with a hairpin?"
Well, that ferocious and evil Xie Zhuoning is back again.
Ye Wuque led Shisan and was about to leave, but Shisan's eyes fell on Xia Ju behind Xie Zhuoning.
Seeing this, Ye Wuque asked Xie Zhuoning, "You look familiar to me. How old are you? Where are you from? Do you have any other relatives?"
"What do you want to do?" Xie Zhuoning suddenly became alert.
Ye Wuque was speechless, "Can you always think of me as such a bad person?"
"You are not only bad, you are also perverted!"
Xie Zhuoning quickly told Xia Ju to stand behind him so as not to be spotted by Ye Wuque.
Thirteen on the side quickly spoke up, "Miss Xie, please don't misunderstand me. My master asked for me. When I was young, there was a famine in my hometown and I got separated from my sister. I was young at that time, and I only remember that there was a birthmark on her arm that looked like a teapot..."
Teapot birthmark?
Xie Zhuoning had some impression of it, so he quickly pulled Xia Ju's arm and lifted up his sleeves to take a look.
"There really is one...Xia Ju, you..."
Could it be that he and Thirteen are really biological siblings?
Xia Ju also looked confused, "I, don't know."
She doesn't remember much about her childhood.
She has been in the killer organization for as long as she can remember.
No relatives, no friends.
Thirteen couldn't help feeling a little disappointed when he saw this.
Ye Wuque patted his shoulder and said, "It's okay. Go back and heal your wounds first. I have given you permission to come here to visit your sister."
It is normal for a brother and sister to have no feelings for each other after being separated for many years. If they spend more time together, the feelings will naturally develop.
Thirteen's eyes lit up, "Thank you, Master."
The master and his servant left together.
Finally, this disaster has been sent away.
Just as Xie Zhuoning breathed a sigh of relief, a cloak was draped over her.
Xiao Jinxuan reached out to help her tie the belt, "How come you came out wearing such thin clothes?"
The cold mountain wind that blows into your body is not pleasant.
Xie Zhuoning was afraid that he was still concerned about the bracelet, so he half-jokingly said, "I'm afraid you'll kill Ye Wuque in a fit of rage."
Knowing that she did it on purpose, Xiao Jinxuan also raised his eyebrows, "Oh? You still care about his life or death?"
Xie Zhuoning smiled, "Because only Ye Wuque can suppress those evil spirits in Western Chu, and only he can prevent Western Chu from invading Daye for ten years."
As long as he did not collude with Northern Qi, the only powerful enemy Daye would have to face would be Northern Qi, and it would not face the danger of being attacked from both sides.
Then they can take this opportunity to clean up the chaos in Daye.
"Xiao Jinxuan, do you know why I gave you a deadline of ten years?"
"Why?"
"Because ten years is not the deadline I gave to Ye Wuque, but the deadline given to you and me. If we die within ten years, the future of Daye will no longer be our business. If we are still alive after ten years, then I believe that by then, no one will be able to stop us!"
The clear and not too loud voice echoed in the empty valley, and actually made Xiao Jinxuan's heart stir.
Since the world is unfair and the emperor is unkind, let's not care about winning or losing and just fight hard!
As long as she is with me all the way, what is there to be afraid of?
