Seeing the woman's angry expression, he didn't care at all and leisurely entered the camp.
Hearing her say that, Xiao Yubai knew that she was about to take action. "Yingyi, clean up the mess for me. Before you do, beat her mouth up. She dares to say anything and makes my wife angry. She's a damned bastard."
"Yes, Master."
"Wait, General, you can't kill me! I'm a princess bestowed by the Emperor, and I'm your wife. You can't kill me!" the princess said fearfully.
Who exactly was that woman? Why would anyone kill someone just for seeing her face? No wonder the general rebelled. Thinking this, she gasped in surprise, covering her mouth. "General, I..."
Before she could finish speaking, she was knocked unconscious, her two maids had their necks slashed, and then they were carried away.
An Shuyi sat in the chair, watching Xiao Yubai enter, but ignored him.
"Madam, please don't be angry. I didn't know you were coming, and I never expected that woman to talk nonsense."
"If I hadn't come, would you have left her here? You'd have kept her here for a whole day; anything could have happened by now."
"Madam, I'm innocent! She came yesterday, returned to the border town last night, and only arrived this morning. It's only afternoon now, what could possibly have happened!" If something were to happen to him, he wouldn't get out of bed for at least three days.
"A lot can happen. Since you're all settled here, I should be going." He said, standing up from his chair.
The next second, he was held down. "Madam, why don't you believe me? Don't be angry. I had Ying kill that woman and beat her mouth to a pulp. Are you happy now?"
"I guess so! Have you been very busy these past two years? You've written so few letters."
"I'm so busy, sometimes I don't even have time to eat. I have to squeeze in time to write letters to my wife, but I'm afraid that if I write too much, she'll get annoyed, so I write less. If I make her unhappy, I'll write more next time."
"Since you're busy, I won't argue with you. Go out, I'm going to take a nap. Wake me up when it's time to eat." She hasn't been sleeping well at all these past few days in the wild.
Xiao Yubai nodded, told her to get up, and then left the tent.
After a while, he poked his head into the tent, saw that his wife was sleeping well, and then quietly walked to the bedside and sat down.
"Didn't you go out? Why are you back?" An Shuyi opened her eyes. In the past few years, she couldn't sleep if there was any noise.
"I had some things to say, and then I came back to keep my wife company!" He had only wanted to watch her quietly, but he hadn't expected that it would keep her awake.
An Shuyi nodded, patted the bed, and told him to get on. Xiao Yubai obediently lay down next to her, and when she closed her eyes, he stopped moving and dared not look at her.
The lady must not have slept well; there are dark circles under her eyes, her skin is dark, and her hands have become rough, but she still smells nice.
An Shuyi woke up in the middle of the night and looked at the person next to her. "Why are you spacing out instead of sleeping?" She thought he would have trouble sleeping with him next to her, but he slept quite well.
She couldn't sleep before, so she pulled Huahua to bed and slept with her, but there were many things to do at the camp, and she was often woken up.
"Madam is awake. I thought you were going to sleep until tomorrow. What would you like to eat? I'll make it."
Can you do it?
"Yes, I've learned from the cook. I'm just worried that if Madam comes, there won't be anything to eat."
An Shuyi shook her head, "No need for that trouble, I still have some here. You made it, we can eat it next time!" After saying that, she sat up and waited for him to go downstairs.
Xiao Yubai understood her meaning, but instead of getting out of bed, he sat up, pulled her into his arms, and kissed the woman he had been longing for day and night. With her response, he kissed her even more earnestly, and for a moment, the tent was filled with an ambiguous atmosphere.
A sound came from the quiet air: An Shuyi pushed him away.
"Hurry up and get down, I'm hungry." If we don't eat soon, it will be almost dawn.
Xiao Yubai got out of bed and helped her put on her shoes. "Madam, when will you marry me? After Yan Zhen ascends the throne, is that alright?"
He's almost forty now, and if he doesn't eat meat now, he won't be able to eat it anymore. He can't go his whole life without ever tasting meat. If he hadn't met his wife, that would have been fine, but now that he has, he has to eat some.
An Shuyi took out two bowls of noodles with soybean paste. When he asked her that, she shook her head directly, "I will not marry you."
"Madam, why? You've started this relationship and now you're abandoning me. I can't be a monk forever!"
"That's your problem. If you're not happy, go find someone else." After saying that, he started eating his noodles.
Xiao Yubai watched her eat without saying anything more. He picked up another portion, stirred it, and finished it in a few bites.
"Want some more?"
"I'm not eating anymore!" What's the point of eating? I've lost my appetite.
Seeing his expression, An Shuyi ignored him and ate her noodles. After finishing, she took out some fruit and said, "Peel them, cut them out, and don't look back."
"Yes, madam." She picked up the fruit knife and began to peel the fruit, wash it clean, and then cut it into small pieces.
She was still wearing her traditional Chinese dress, now all wrinkled. She changed into her pajamas, tossed the dirty dress onto the shelf next to her, then sat back down in her chair, took out two forks, and started eating fruit.
“I am now the grandmother of several grandchildren, and I will be the grandmother of the emperor in the future. How can I marry you? Wouldn’t that make Yan Zhen a laughing stock among the civil and military officials?”
Xiao Yubai became dejected. "You can't make me a monk, can you?"
Helpless, An Shuyi put down her fork. The trading system appeared, and after clicking a few times, she bought the time travel pass and handed it to him, saying, "Let's see what the words on the back are."
"Madam, what is this? A time travel pass, just a piece of paper with a few words on it. Nothing special."
"Look behind you!"
"Alright!" Xiao Yubai flipped to the back. "Transmigration conditions: help the host become the Empress Dowager, and you can transmigrate. The transmigration time is determined by the host. Madam, what does this mean? Transmigration? I've never heard of it."
What other host is there? Is this the master's intention? And what does it mean to become the Empress Dowager?
“This is a travel pass. I won’t marry you in this world, but we can in another world. You can only travel to our world if you fulfill the conditions on this paper,” An Shuyi explained.
"That's amazing, madam, is it really true?" If it is, then he and his wife can stay for even longer.
"Whether it's true or not, just do as I say. It won't be long anyway. Now that Prince Ming is dead, the Emperor will send Hua Hua and me back to the capital soon. He's already starting to be wary of us." Of course, Xiao Zili was also wary of Xiao Yubai, otherwise he wouldn't have sent him a princess.
“If you return to the capital, the Emperor will not allow you to leave, and may even force you to hand over your military seal.” But this nephew is really stupid.
An Shuyi nodded, "Yes, so we can take action when we return to Beijing this time and get Yan Zhen into power as soon as possible. As long as he can handle things well, we can go back."
"By then, I'll be over fifty and it'll be time to leave. My body can't handle it anymore; it's too weak." After all, having given birth to so many children, it's normal to be weak.
