Chapter 108: Concubine?
Yun Zhao was still lying on the horse.
The curtain of the oncoming carriage was raised.
Before I saw the person, I could already hear the sweet laughter, the sound was clear, pleasant and melodious.
In this deserted street late at night, there is an added sense of ambiguity and tenderness.
The curtain was lifted, and a pair of slender jade feet stretched out.
The next moment.
Someone leaned out of the carriage.
There was an innocent smile on her lips, and her eyes were extremely bright on her palm-sized face.
Like a smile.
"General," Lin Ruyu spoke in a baby voice, bowed slightly, and looked up with charm.
Yun Zhao stared blankly at the person opposite him. Deputy General Gao whispered in his ear, "Did you see that? This is how a woman in the capital should behave. If you continue to act recklessly like a soldier, you are doomed to not be loved by the general."
Yun Zhao saw Xie Jingmo's brows slightly furrowed.
"Why are you here?" Xie Jingmo's tone was a hundred times gentler than when he spoke to herself. If he raised his voice a little, it would be irritating to the beauty.
Yun Zhao had seen how good Xie Jingmo was to Chen Tingting.
I thought that was how Xie Jingmo treated people nicely.
Now it seems that the good things back then are not even half as good as they are now.
Lin Ruyu was wearing a pure white shawl and standing in the moonlight, with a smile on her porcelain-white face.
Who would have thought that this woman's husband had just died?
"General, you also know that it's cold at night." Lin Ruyu raised her hand, and the servant behind her handed over a black shawl of the same style. She tiptoed and put it on Xie Jingmo. "General, you are busy. Take good care of yourself and don't worry others."
Just a few words.
Expressed concern.
And with a cute and naughty look.
Yun Zhao felt inferior to him.
"Well, you should go back early. I have things to do." Xie Jingmo led Lin Ruyu onto the horse.
Deputy General Gao tilted his head to meet Yun Zhao's gaze and gave him a thumbs-up. "Did you see that? This level."
Yun Zhao looked at Deputy General Gao.
Deputy General Gao sighed, "Look, you and I were both here just now, and you are a woman, but Lin Ruyu was able to restrain herself from asking a single question. She was clearly telling the general that as long as the general was here, she would not see anyone else.
Women admire the strong, and men need to be looked up to. Lin Ruyu is good at understanding men's minds. She has studied this very well. You are no match for her."
Yun Zhao disagreed.
She never thought of competing with anyone.
Lieutenant General Gao saw through Yun Zhao's thoughts at a glance. He smiled and said, "Indeed, our Yun Zhao has skills and superb medical skills. He doesn't need to rely on men to make a living. He has his own pride!"
Yun Zhao and Deputy General Gao exchanged a smile and said, "I was born with a strong character and I can't afford to eat soft food."
Upon hearing this, Deputy General Gao burst into laughter!
After Xie Jingmo sent the people away, he turned around and saw Yun Zhao and Deputy General Gao laughing heartily without any image.
He narrowed his eyes and his face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot.
Yun Zhao saw this and curled his lips. "General, if you don't like us, you can leave with Miss Lin. A night tour of the capital might be quite interesting. Lieutenant General Gao, shall we go?"
Yun Zhao's temper has been shaped by his long time in the army.
I restrained myself in the past because I wanted to please Xie Jingmo. Now that he doesn't love me anymore, there's no need to make myself feel wronged.
Do whatever makes you happy.
She has worked hard for the beautiful mountains and rivers of Beijing. She has her own pride in her heart and does not want to be trapped in hardship for the rest of her life because of a man who does not love her.
Deputy General Gao was grinning and was about to say "OK" when he heard Xie Jingmo's cold, angry voice, "How much more trouble are you going to cause?! Get back with me right now!"
Yun Zhao stood still.
Xie Jingmo smiled with his cold white teeth, "Yun Zhao, you are afraid of the Queen Mother because you are afraid of bringing trouble to your family, but don't forget, I am the prince. If you anger me, the people you care about will definitely not suffer any consequences."
Yun Zhao held his breath and followed Xie Jingmo back to the general's mansion.
Deputy General Gao also followed.
As they approached their home, Xie Jingmo turned his head and stared at Deputy General Gao, "Go back to the barracks!"
Deputy General Gao glanced at Yun Zhao, who lowered his head in frustration.
Yun Zhao was in no mood and went in first.
Deputy General Gao called out to Xie Jingmo, "General, if you don't like Yun Zhao, how about..."
Deputy General Gao scratched his head and didn't say the rest, but he knew that Xie Jingmo understood.
Xie Jingmo understands.
He slammed the door, making a loud "bang!"
Yun Zhao, who was walking in, was startled.
In the pavilion.
"Choose." Xie Jingmo was tall. Standing under the moonlight, his shadow fell on the ground, stretching out a very long line.
Yun Zhao: "I'm going back to Liziguai."
Xie Jingmo sneered, "Alright, as soon as you leave, the emperor will convict you of treason."
Yun Zhao frowned, "Then I would rather enter the palace."
Xie Jingmo sneered, "You? Do you really think the Queen Mother will let you go?"
Yun Zhao pursed his lips.
Xie Jingmo said coldly, "I don't want you either. Don't dream. I won't let the Queen Mother place anyone in the General's Mansion."
Yun Zhao was speechless. "I didn't intend to enter the General's Mansion. I heard what you said to Deputy General Gao just now. Anyway, if I get married, the Emperor will let me go. If that doesn't work out, I'll make a gentleman's agreement with Deputy General Gao: I'll marry him and leave in three years."
Xie Jingmo's face immediately turned as dark as the bottom of a pot. "Your ears are good, but I tell you, if you were just Deputy General Gao's wife, the emperor would not favor him. Sooner or later, you will have to enter the palace."
Yun Zhao looked at Xie Jingmo, "Then what do you think, General?"
Xie Jingmo: "Unless you beg me."
Yun Zhao's eyes dimmed.
She thought of Xie Jingmo and Lin Ruyu, the fairy couple outside the palace, and said, "Xie Jingmo, I will not be a concubine unless I die."
Xie Jingmo narrowed his eyes!
"You still want to be a princess?!"
"Do you think you deserve it?!"
Yun Zhao was also furious when he heard this. "General, why am I unworthy? Don't you still think I was sent by the Queen Mother? Apart from that, I am also the daughter of a good family. Why am I not worthy of marrying into a good family? Why do I have to serve others all my life?"
Xie Jingmo was also angry.
He laughed in anger, staring coldly at Yun Zhao's face, "Really?"
"Are you the daughter of a good family?"
"A daughter from a good family would climb onto my bed on the first day of joining the military camp?"
"Yun Zhao, don't you know what you are like?"
"Don't you think it's ridiculous that you're trying to act like a chaste heroine in front of me?!"
"Let me put this before you. The princess consort of my palace will only be Lin Ruyu. I've already said this before the Emperor: You are mine. You can be my concubine whether you want to be or not."
"If you behave yourself, get out of here in three years! If you continue to harbor delusions and stir up trouble, I cannot guarantee the safety of your family in the future!"
Xie Jingmo left after saying this.
After walking a long way, he stopped and suddenly turned around.
He saw Yun Zhao standing under the moon, his back, which had been straight for a long time, slightly bent.
A tear slowly rolled down Mingyan's face.
