Using the same method a second time was indeed risky, and besides, the Empress's people weren't pushovers. However, Qian Muxue's heart was with Xuan Mingye, and she couldn't see the real situation anymore.
Now, she'll first try to win Qian Yingxue over, so that when that day comes, she can make this fool willingly marry into the royal palace in her place.
Qian Yingxue was sweeter than honey upon receiving the promise. She would probably sell her father willingly if she could marry the Crown Prince.
In the Snow Garden, after receiving an extremely urgent message, Leng Xue paced back and forth outside the Princess's room, unsure whether he should go in to report.
"What? You're in trouble too?" Yunhe appeared behind Leng Xue at some point.
She had been watching from the courtyard the whole time. Just now, she saw a figure appear and guessed it was most likely a guard from the War Prince's mansion. Seeing the guard's extremely pale face and anxious appearance, she deduced that something serious must have happened.
Leng Xue turned around with his hands behind his back and saw Yun He's gloating expression, which made his face darken even more.
As expected, like master, like people. Leng Xue led the way, and the others were just as cold and aloof, lacking any warmth or humanity.
Yunhe pursed his lips and said in a nonchalant tone, "Has something happened to Prince Yi? Tell me, and see if I can help you out."
"You guessed it all, didn't you?" Leng Xue knew that Yun He was very smart. Since he guessed it was about the war, he probably also guessed what had happened.
Yunhe nodded and said calmly, "I guessed it. Could you tell me more about it?"
"No!" Leng Xue uttered two words and mustered his courage to knock on the door.
snort!
Yunhe pouted and glared fiercely at Leng Xue's cold-blooded back.
Xuan Mingye had already woken up in the room and was simply keeping Qian Youxue company as she slept soundly beside him. Upon hearing Leng Xue's voice, he immediately sat up, got out of bed, and walked to the chair outside the screen to sit down.
"Come in!" he said in a low voice.
Leng Xue pushed open the door and entered, only to see his master sitting there. He then glanced at the screen.
"It's alright, speak!" Xuan Mingye didn't intend to keep too much from Qian Youxue. After all, becoming his woman meant facing life-or-death situations at any moment. Knowing more might actually be a good thing for her.
Leng Xue cupped his hands in greeting and reported the news he had just received to his master: "News from the front: Prince Yi has suffered a second defeat, and General Chen Jin is seriously injured and unconscious. The Emperor has urgently summoned Hua Duanli to the palace, and Prince Yi has requested that General Su go to provide support."
That good-for-nothing bastard not only ruined things but also caused General Chen's death; he even tried to take General Su with him.
Xuan Mingye was so angry that he tightened his grip, and the cup shattered in his hand, blood streaming down his fingers.
"Your Highness, please calm down! You must take care of yourself!" Leng Xue really didn't want to see his master so angry.
call……
Xuan Mingye felt a little uncomfortable breathing. These two old ministers were the ones who helped his father conquer the country. Now they had to be supporting characters for that bastard. He really didn't know what his father was thinking.
"Your Highness..." Leng Xue wanted to say something more, but seeing his master raise his hand, he swallowed his words.
"You can go out now! Keep an eye on the palace, and report back immediately if there's any news. Also, send someone to check on General Chen's condition." Xuan Mingye waved his hand, his gloomy face covered with anger.
Qian Youxue, who was behind the screen, had already woken up. Hearing Leng Xue's words, she couldn't help but think of her grandfather, whom she didn't remember very well. From their last meeting, she could tell that her grandfather's health wasn't very good. If he were to go into battle, perhaps...?
"I heard everything. What do you want to say?" Xuan Mingye's voice rang out.
Qian Youxue got out of bed and stepped out from behind the screen. Looking up, she saw that the demon's hand was bleeding. She quickened her pace, walked over, took out a medicine box from her spatial storage, and bandaged his hand.
Xuan Mingye was stunned for a moment, then a satisfied smile appeared on his lips.
"What's done is done, why are you taking it out on yourself? You're such an idiot!" Qian Youxue cursed, but her hands didn't stop moving.
After his hand wound was bandaged, Xuan Mingye pulled her into his arms. He held her tightly, remaining silent for a long time.
"What's gotten into you again?" After saying this, Qian Youxue seemed to realize something and looked up at the devil with sudden realization: "General Chen is your man, and my grandfather is your man too, right?"
"How could my queen be so clever as to guess wrong?" Xuan Mingye said, his face close to hers, his mind somewhat absent as he spoke.
Qian Youxue should have guessed long ago that anyone who could appear at the gate of the War King's Mansion at that time could be someone other than the War King's people.
only?
If my grandfather really is gone, will he ever come back?
My mother and Aunt Liu don't get along. After all, my maternal grandfather isn't someone the Empress can use. Even if the army hadn't been defeated, she would probably have taken the opportunity to remove my maternal grandfather, this thorn in her side.
"You don't want my grandfather to go?" Qian Youxue asked thoughtfully.
“Of course, the old general is getting on in years and has many ailments. He almost didn’t make it back from the battlefield several times in the past. If he were to follow that bastard Prince Yi now, he would definitely be in grave danger.” Xuan Mingye said with emotion, “There aren’t many upright people like General Su in the court anymore.”
However, even if the Emperor is unwilling to send the old general to war, he may not be able to successfully deal with the Empress's lackeys.
"Then don't let Grandpa go. Are you going back to the manor now?" Qian Youxue had a plan in mind. As long as Grandpa was paralyzed in bed, it was impossible to move him to the battlefield, right?
"I won't leave. I'll stay with you at the Prime Minister's residence for a few days. You can go back after you've finished treating Grandmother's acupuncture. In their eyes, I'm just a useless piece of trash anyway." Qian Xuanming's tone was tinged with sadness. This was reality; some people just needed to be dealt with.
"Then I'll go see my mother. Tonight, I'll go to the Su residence with her." Qian Youxue felt that this matter should be done as soon as possible, so she stood up as she spoke.
“The Su residence isn’t clean, be careful.” Xuan Mingye reminded Qian Youxue, and pulled her back into his arms with some concern, saying, “After dark, have Leng Xue go with you. As for your mother, just let her know when you get back. The Qian residence isn’t safe either, and Bowen needs to keep an eye on things.”
I didn't expect this guy to be so observant. Could it be that he knows something?
Qian Youxue stared at Xuan Mingye with half-closed eyes. Xuan Mingye's lips curled slightly, and he fell silent without offering any explanation.
"What's wrong with you?" Qian Youxue sensed that his emotions were a little off.
"It's alright, let me hold you for a while. Holding you will calm my heart a lot." A hint of sadness appeared in Xuan Mingye's eyes. He closed his eyes, his mind filled with a jumble of images.
Qian Youxue remained silent, looking at the sadness on his face. She wanted to say something to comfort him, but when she opened her mouth, she didn't know what to say.
