Chapter 303 You Love Yourself
Deputy General Gao was very happy that Xie Jingmo was back.
But he soon stopped being happy.
Because Yun Zhao announced the position of Regent Mu Chengyan.
Deputy General Gao remembered what Xie Jingmo said: "I'm not the one expected." The bitterness on his face made him feel uncomfortable.
He went to find Yun Zhao.
Puzzled, he said, "Why? Didn't I just save you? You can't be completely irrational. Mu Chengyan is not fit to hold any position in the court."
Yun Zhao glanced at Deputy General Gao and asked, "What position is he suitable for?"
Deputy General Gao spoke his mind, "He is not suitable for any position. Just go back to Liziguai."
Yun Zhao looked at Deputy General Gao and asked, "Why are you suddenly so excited today?"
Deputy General Gao grabbed a handful of his hair fiercely. "I just feel...he's not suitable. Besides, you can't favor him just because he saved you. You could give him a reward, like gold, silver, jewelry, or something."
Yun Zhao looked up at Fu Hai and said, "Deputy General Gao has gone berserk. Take him away and give him some proper counseling."
Fu Hai led the man out, put his hands in front of him, and looked up at the sky. "I think the Queen Mother has been completely bewitched."
Deputy General Gao roared to the sky, "Thank you Jingmo!"
Fu Hai turned his head in shock and looked at Lieutenant General Gao, "Why are you shouting so loudly? Are you worried that others won't know that I wrote a letter to General Xie?"
Having said this.
A gust of wind blew behind him.
Fu Hai turned his head and saw Xie Jingmo beside him.
Fu Hai: “!”
Fu Hai looked left and right, "General Xie, where did you come from?"
Xie Jingmo had a blank expression on his face. He leaned against the pillar behind him with his arms crossed and asked Deputy General Gao, "What's the matter?"
Deputy General Gao raised his chin and said, "You don't want to do anything about it? Her grateful nature will be crushed by Mu Chengyan's overreaching behavior."
Xie Jingmo's eyes were indifferent and he said nothing.
There was silence for a moment.
Fu Hai glanced sideways at Xie Jingmo's dull face, feeling a little uneasy. He whispered to Deputy General Gao, "Is it too presumptuous of me to write to General Xie?"
Deputy General Gao glanced at Xie Jingmo's stiff face.
He whispered to Fu Hai, "Ignore him. He's just jealous of Mu Chengyan being favored by Yun Zhao. No matter how unhappy he is, he still came back eagerly. He still has feelings for her and can't let go. I don't blame you for believing that."
Deputy General Gao nudged Xie Jingmo with his elbow and said, "As soon as the letter went through, you came back immediately. You were gambling in your heart, right?"
I bet Yun Zhao wouldn’t have the heart to do that.
I bet Yun Zhao will be soft-hearted.
He bet that Yun Zhao would call him back at the last moment, so he had prepared horses along the way. As soon as the letter was sent here, he came back immediately.
But something unexpected happened.
The letter was written by Fu Hai. When he came back and saw this terrible thing, how could his face be good?
Xie Jingmo had a face darker than ink and said in a cold voice: "She is in deep thought. Ask her more about the reason why she suddenly left Mu Chengyan behind."
Deputy General Gao turned to look at Xie Jingmo and asked with a smile, "What if she said it was because she liked him?"
Xie Jingmo's eyes narrowed immediately. Because of the long journey and the lack of rest for a long time, there was a layer of blue marks under his eyes.
He gritted his teeth and said fiercely, "If she says that, I will kill Mu Chengyan!"
This is Xie Jingmo.
No matter how much time has passed, no matter whether Yun Zhao really wants to send him away.
At times like this, he still acts impulsively.
I would still say, I want to kill Mu Chengyan.
In this world, there are always people who are always stubborn.
Fu Hai and Deputy General Gao both laughed. They seemed to know why Mu Chengyan and Xie Jingmo preferred the latter.
Xie Jingmo had a gloomy face, but he did not stop Fu Hai and the others from telling them everything that had happened to Yun Zhao during this period.
Xie Jingmo's face darkened, but he didn't interrupt.
A beam of light shone through the room. Fu Hai and Deputy General Gao stood in the beam of light, while Xie Jingmo stood in the darkness with his arms folded and his sword in his arms.
Xie Jingmo's eyes remained calm as he watched the sudden appearance of Mucheng on the opposite side.
However, Fu Hai and Deputy General Gao took a step forward anxiously, trying in vain to block Xie Jingmo behind them.
Mu Chengyan raised his eyebrows, and Xie Jingmo tilted his head to glance into the room.
The person in the room was reading a book and didn't notice.
Xie Jingmo followed Mu Chengyan out silently.
Fu Hai narrowed his eyes. "Mu Chengyan is really scheming. He just called out General Xie's name when he had the nerve. He kept silent because he didn't want the Queen Mother to know that General Xie had returned."
Deputy General Gao said sadly, "In terms of ruthlessness, Xie Jingmo cannot compare to Mu Chengyan."
When the palace coup happened, Mu Chengyan left without any intention of staying.
After he left, he took the initiative to write letters to Yun Zhao, but he never came back once in three years.
If it were Xie Jingmo, he would have been so eager that he would have come back to take a look even if he died.
Fu Hai pursed his lips unhappily, "Then I'll go tell the Queen Mother that Xie Jingmo is back."
Vice Admiral Gao said, "Let's wait and see how they talk."
In the corridor outside the Empress Dowager's Palace.
Mu Chengyan looked at the dusty Xie Jingmo, lowered his head and pulled at the sleeves of his newly finished shirt, with an unintentional sense of superiority on his face. "Xie Jingmo, you've worked hard. You must have run several horses to death after coming all the way here."
Xie Jingmo looked at him with fixed eyes.
Mu Chengyan smiled, his strategy in hand, defiant and confident. "Thank you, General. I don't know why you suddenly came back, but you should know that there is no place for you here. If you come back, you will only bring humiliation upon yourself."
Xie Jingmo couldn't answer.
He always felt unable to speak with confidence in front of Yun Zhao.
Even if she sold him out, he couldn't break up with him as righteously and cleanly as Yun Zhao did when he found out that he had been replaced with five thousand pieces of armor.
He can't stop.
Even though he is the one being let down now.
It's such a cowardly thing to say, no man can bring himself to say it.
What's more, it was in front of Mu Chengyan.
Xie Jingmo could only keep a cold face and ask in return: "Why are you talking so much? Are you afraid of me?"
Mu Chengyan laughed. "How could that be? When I left the palace, Yun Zhao told me that she had been waiting for my return. Now that I'm back, she's overjoyed. She also told me that originally, you being in the capital didn't bother her, but now that I've returned, she's worried I'll mind your boring past, so she just casually sent you away. I'm so precious to Yun Zhao, how could she be so afraid of you?"
"Xie Jingmo, I've been away for three years, and you still haven't been able to shake my position in Yun Zhao's heart."
“This is love.”
Xie Jingmo looked at Mu Chengyan and asked, "What about you? You can leave or come at will, it all depends on your own heart. Who do you love?"
Mu Chengyan was stunned for a second.
Xie Jingmo had already said quickly: "You love yourself."
"Mucheng Yan, from the beginning to the end, you only love yourself,"
