Upon hearing this, Wei Ling said in a cold and gloomy voice, "How dare you speak to His Highness the Crown Prince like that?"
"Your Highness?" Yan Wei frowned and asked Xie Sheng, "You're the Crown Prince? The one who publicly rejected my young lady's marriage proposal?"
Xie Sheng choked again, unable to speak!
"Does His Highness the Crown Prince think he's so great? If you've got the guts, go ahead and kill me!" Yan Wei said angrily, then turned and left.
We shouldn't have saved this unlucky thing in the first place.
If he hadn't been saved, he would have died long ago. Who gave him the right to publicly refuse the marriage and insult the young lady?
If time could be turned back, even if it meant going against the young lady's wishes, Yan Wei would watch this person die!
Seeing Yan Wei about to leave, Xie Sheng quickly said, "Wait a moment. I want to tell you that the reason I refused the marriage is because I didn't know that it was Chu Wei who asked you to save me!"
Yan Wei turned to look at Xie Sheng and said, "Now you know, and you should also know that our young lady hates you. So, please stay away from our young lady from now on!"
After Yan Wei finished speaking, she turned around again and walked away.
Xie Sheng originally wanted to start with Yan Wei and get Yan Wei to speak well of him in front of Yun Chuwei, but now it seems that this method will not work.
Yan Wei dislikes him just as much as Yun Chuwei does.
Xie Sheng turned around and met Xie Xin's probing gaze.
He suddenly realized that Xie Xin seemed to have a good relationship with Yun Chuwei.
He thought that he might be able to get Xie Xin to plead his case to Yun Chuwei!
"Royal sister, I was too impulsive just now, I'm sorry!" Xie Sheng thought to himself, and immediately lowered his posture and apologized to Xie Xin.
Xie Xin's expression was indifferent, and his tone was somewhat cold.
"I can't accept that!"
Xie Sheng frowned slightly; he was somewhat displeased by Xie Xin's attitude.
But he patiently asked in a low voice, "Isn't my royal sister curious about what happened between Yun Chuwei and me in the past?"
Xie Xin raised an eyebrow slightly but did not speak.
She really wanted to know.
However, she doesn't necessarily need to know from Xie Sheng. If Xie Sheng doesn't tell her, she can ask Yun Chuwei.
So she didn't ask, nor did she show any curiosity.
Xie Sheng needed Xie Xin's help after all, so even though Xie Xin remained silent, he still spoke up and gave a brief account of what had happened.
After listening, Xie Xin raised an eyebrow slightly and slowly said, "You mean, you mistook someone else for someone else and refused the arranged marriage. Now that you've recognized Miss Yun, you want to regain her favor?"
Xie Sheng looked at Xie Xin with a affectionate expression and said, "Royal sister, would you be willing to put in a good word for me with Yun Chuwei?"
Xie Xin directly refused: "I suggest you stay away from Yun Chuwei! You're an eyesore!"
Xie Sheng frowned. What do you mean by "an eyesore"?
Xie Xin continued, "Firstly, Emperor Xuan didn't mistake her for someone else; secondly, he didn't refuse the arranged marriage; and thirdly, he has always protected Yun Chuwei. Now, he is the one who is betrothed to Yun Chuwei. What makes you think you can compare to him? Your stupidity?"
Upon hearing this, Xie Sheng opened his mouth, but for a moment he couldn't utter any rebuttal.
Xie Xin looked at Xie Sheng and said, "Take care, and don't come back!"
After saying that, she went straight back to her tent.
Seeing that Wei Ling was the only one left by his side, Xie Sheng remained silent for a long time before finally deciding to leave.
Wei Ling was stunned for a moment when he saw his master looking so lost, but he quickly followed.
Only after returning to his tent did he speak to his lord, "My lord, we've made progress on the man wearing the Yama mask you asked us to find. You..."
He didn't know if his master was in the mood to deal with this matter.
Xie Sheng's brows, which had been furrowed, relaxed slightly at this moment.
He turned to look at Wei Ling and asked, "Where is he?"
The person from the previous life led the Ghost Face Army into the palace and arrived at the Jiaofang Palace, mainly with the aim of killing Yun Chuwei.
In other words, keeping this person around is also a potential problem for Yun Chuwei.
Therefore, he must get rid of this person as soon as possible to eliminate the potential threat.
Now that he knew Yun Chuwei was the one who saved him, he couldn't let Yun Chuwei face danger.
Upon hearing the question, Wei Ling immediately recounted everything he knew.
Xie Sheng frowned: "You mean, that person is also connected to the rebels? Are you sure?"
Wei Ling shook his head slightly: "We can't be sure if he has any connection with the rebels, but he is indeed hiding in the rebel territory. What should we do now?"
Xie Sheng's expression was solemn as he said earnestly, "I've said it before, I want him dead, and he must die!"
Wei Ling obeyed Xie Sheng's orders without question.
"I'll arrange it right away!"
Wei Ling bowed and then prepared to leave to make the arrangements.
Xie Sheng suddenly spoke up, stopping Wei Ling: "I'll go with you!"
Upon hearing this, Wei Ling strongly disagreed with Xie Sheng's words, saying, "Your Highness, it is very dangerous to venture deep into the rebel territory. I think you should not go. I will send you back as soon as there is any news!"
Xie Sheng insisted, "I said I'll go with you!"
Upon hearing this, Wei Ling could only concede, "Your Highness, please!"
-
Yun Chuwei hadn't been following Xie Sheng's news, so she didn't know that Xie Sheng had gone to the rebels' territory.
The news she heard was that Xie Xin, in order to rescue Xie Sheng who was besieged by the rebels, led a team of people and charged into the rebel encirclement.
In the end, Xie Sheng was brought back, but Xie Xin was seriously injured and captured by the rebels.
Of course, Jiang Wanqiu, who had always been with Xie Xin, also failed to return.
When Huo Qingjue told Yun Chuwei about this, Yun Chuwei's face darkened.
When the deputy general asked Yun Chuwei what should be done about this matter, Yun Chuwei remained silent after pondering for a moment.
After a moment, she asked the adjutant, "In the army, who else can keep everyone in check?"
Now, the military needs someone who can keep everyone in check.
Otherwise, this army will be utterly defeated.
Upon hearing this, the lieutenant shook his head slightly and said, "No one in the army is willing to submit to anyone else. It would be very difficult to find someone who can command the entire army on short notice."
It's practically impossible.
"Should we keep this a secret for now and not publicize it?" the adjutant asked.
Yun Chu shook her head slightly: "If you captured the supreme commander on the other side, what would you do?"
The lieutenant immediately said, "Naturally, we should spread this news as quickly as possible, even posting a picture of their commander so they know we've captured him. This will cause their morale to collapse and their army to crumble."
Yun Chuwei slowly said, "The rebels probably think the same way. So, they can't hide it!"
Upon hearing this, the lieutenant was about to say something when he heard soldiers rushing over.
The soldier said to Yun Chuwei and his deputy, "Something terrible has happened! The Fifth Princess is in danger!"
