Chapter 93 Stupid Beauty?
Yun Zhao had only been afraid of Xie Jingmo when he first entered the military camp seven years ago.
After that, I was no longer afraid of him.
Even now, with Xie Jingmo's face tense and his eyes cold, Yun Zhao didn't feel scared at all.
She said confidently, "General, do you want me to speak up?"
Yun Zhao approached him and stared into his eyes. "General, you just said I was greedy. Aren't you greedy too?"
"You covet my body, so you want me to be your concubine. But you can't let go of power, so you want to marry a powerful wife, right? You're the one who wants the best of both worlds."
Xie Jingmo went to see her again and again.
She is not a fool either.
How could I not know what Xie Jingmo was thinking?
In fact, men are very complicated, but also very simple. It's just a few things, you don't have to think about it, you will understand.
Xie Jingmo smiled coldly, raised his hand and pinched Yun Zhao's chin, "It's nice to think about it, but if I really want you, can you hide from me?!"
Xie Jingmo shook his hand away, as if he was shaking off something dirty.
The two returned to the barracks.
Deputy General Gao was originally happy, but when he saw the murderous intent in Xie Jingmo, he swallowed his saliva.
He just pulled Yun Zhao aside.
As soon as he sat down, he was shocked to find a bruise the size of a bowl on Yun Zhao's neck.
Deputy General Gao widened his eyes and pointed in Xie Jingmo's direction, "He, did it?"
Yun Zhao casually touched his neck and said, "Hmm."
Deputy General Gao didn't understand. "Why? Didn't the general come to pick you up? What happened? Did they have a conflict?"
"I just don't understand why, ever since I exchanged you for armor, you two seem to have stopped talking to each other."
Yun Zhao took a sip of water and said calmly, "There's nothing much to say."
Deputy General Gao sighed.
As soon as the sun rose, everyone started on their journey.
Everyone around was happy that Yun Zhao was back, and they all chatted with her with a smile.
Xie Jingmo had a face that was colder than the bottom of a pot, and he was in a bad mood from beginning to end.
Close to the capital.
There were already people waiting at the post station.
"Xie General, then you can proceed at your normal pace. I will return to the palace to report first." The person who came was the Queen Mother's confidant. As he left, he whispered to Xie Jingmo, "Your Highness, the Queen Mother asked me to tell you that the Ministry of Revenue has been in turmoil for many days over Chen Tingting's death, and it has only been a few days since it was settled. No matter how she died, on your way back, think of a good explanation so that no one can find fault with her. But don't worry, General. The palace is preparing to select concubines these days. As long as there is an explanation for Chen Tingting's death, it will be fine. We won't keep digging into it."
Xie Jingmo nodded.
The man smiled and said, "Now that you're back, the Queen Mother is relieved. I'll go back first. See you in Kyoto, General."
After the man finished speaking, he jumped on his horse and galloped away.
Yun Zhao heard what that man said. She didn't want to contact Xie Jingmo, but she had to go over.
"What's your excuse? You can discuss it with me." If it doesn't work, she can come up with another way.
"I dare not," Xie Jingmo sneered, not appreciating Yun Zhao's kindness at all, "Otherwise, someone will think that I am coveting the so-called beauty!"
Yun Zhao: “…”
Xie Jingmo, "Yun Zhao, do you think you look good? That was at the frontier, and you were the only woman there, so no matter how ugly you were, you had to make do. When you get back to the capital, you'll realize that your appearance is really terrible!"
Yun Zhao: “…”
She knew she was good-looking since she was a child.
Whether in Beijing or anywhere else.
Yun Zhao is absolutely confident about this. She has never been a so-called stupid beauty!
But if Xie Jingmo wanted to say it, she would do as she pleased.
Anyway, she will leave in three months.
She never takes advantage of others with words.
Xie Jingmo glared at Yun Zhao and left.
Deputy General Gao came over and gave Yun Zhao a thumbs-up. "You're the first person to make the general so angry."
Yun Zhao closed his eyes and sighed.
Just keep walking like this all the way.
When they were approaching the capital, Yun Zhao said something to Xie Jingmo and left the team.
When he left, Xie Jingmo's face was as dark as Justice Bao!
Deputy General Gao walked over and said, "General, don't be angry. Zhao Zhao said that she will check the situation. If there is no trouble in the capital, she will be relieved. She is now in the army and is afraid that if something happens in the future, it will implicate us. She means well, please don't misunderstand her."
Xie Jingmo's expression didn't soften at all. "What could I possibly misunderstand about her? She's so capable, she can handle anything on her own."
Deputy General Gao smiled and pointed to the large army that was waiting to meet him. "We're about to enter the capital, General. Please at least smile. If someone didn't know you, they'd think we were defeated looking at your face!"
Xie Jingmo was too lazy to smile.
When he was about to enter the city, he turned his head and looked. There was a huge army behind him, but there was no sign of Yun Zhao among them.
After seven years in the army, Yun Zhao’s name was not among those listed for commendation.
The army entered the city.
The emperor came to pick him up in person.
In front of everyone's eyes, the king and his subjects lived in harmony.
"Come back to the palace with me. The Queen Mother has been missing you for seven years. Now that you're back, she's so happy!"
Xie Jingmo smiled gently.
Xie Jingmo first went to see the Queen Mother, and then hosted a banquet to entertain the army.
On the table.
Deputy General Gao tilted his head and whispered to Xie Jingmo, "General, look at that Minister of Revenue, Li Ao, he's been staring at you coldly. I think he must want an explanation for the Chen Tingting incident."
Xie Jingmo's eyelids drooped lazily. "He had a daughter in his old age, and raised her in the palm of his hand since she was a child. Chen Tingting is so domineering, which shows how much her family dotes on her. It's normal for her to ask for an explanation. However, since we are hosting a banquet to entertain the army today, he can't get angry. Once everything is settled, he will definitely cause trouble."
Deputy General Gao turned his head and stared at Xie Jingmo's profile.
The latter's expression didn't seem serious.
Deputy General Gao immediately asked, "What should we do then?"
Xie Jingmo: "I don't know."
Deputy General Gao was restless during the meal. When he returned to the military camp, he told Yun Zhao what Xie Jingmo had said at the table.
Yun Zhao frowned, "I originally thought that with the army returning today and such a grand reception, perhaps we could let go of the previous matters."
Deputy General Gao imitated Xie Jingmo's tone at the banquet today, "The Ministry of Revenue is not a pushover. Such a serious matter will definitely be investigated. You don't know that the look in Li Ao's eyes when he looked at the general today was a smile with a knife in it, which was very creepy!"
Yun Zhao frowned, a worried expression on his face.
Vice Admiral Gao felt that he had gone too far and immediately tried to make amends, "But I see Xie Jingmo is enjoying a good life in the capital and in the palace as well, so it shouldn't be a problem."
Yun Zhao didn't say anything.
But she knew that Xie Jingmo's relationship with the palace was not as good as it seemed.
Otherwise, why did Xie Jingmo look as if he wanted to kill the heavens and the earth when he mentioned that she was sent to the military camp from the capital?
The relationships in the palace are so complicated that it’s hard to say.
That night.
Yun Zhao went to find Xie Jingmo.
The general meaning is that if she really can't handle it, she can bear the responsibility she should bear.
But Xie Jingmo was not there at that time.
The emperor brought Xie Jingmo to the study and pointed to a table full of paintings of beautiful women. He said with a smile, "General Xie, you are not young anymore. Today, the palace will select the best candidates. Come and look at them with me. If there is anyone you like, you can choose her to be your princess. It will be better for me than for your mother to worry about your marriage every day."
