As Night Yu was currently conducting a large-scale conscription, she hated war; yet, she could live so freely, indirectly because of it.
“Forget it, as long as I don’t get involved with Yun Yi Hen, it’s fine!” Shaking off Yun Yi Hen’s face, now that she had escaped, she would completely erase his image from her mind.
General’s Mansion
“General, are you really going to marry Li’s daughter?” Jing Yi hid outside the study, where Yun Yi Hen had been for an entire night.
Yun Yi Hen’s hand, holding the brush, paused slightly. He looked up to see Jing Yi peeking in. “Come in.”
He put down the brush, leaned back, and rubbed his sore shoulders. This wasn’t his choice, but as a general, he had to accept such matters. For power and status, sometimes he would use his own marriage as a bargaining chip.
“General…”
“She left without a word, destroying my reputation.” His deep eyes always carried a fearless gaze. “I had planned to marry her in three months, but didn’t expect her to be Ye Yao’s spy.”
“Has the General always suspected the miss of being Ye Yao’s spy?” The maid by Leng Zhou’s side never sensed any hint of espionage from her.
“If not, why would she go with Jing Fei to Ye Yao?” Yun Yi Hen sighed. When did he start caring about her?
“Jing Yi believes the miss is not Ye Yao’s spy. The miss is very kind, treating me, Gu Yan, Shan Yun, and Tian Wu like sisters. The miss’s smile has no impurities; she would look directly at you and speak to you.” How could she be believed to be a spy?
“Jing Yi, knowing a person’s face doesn’t mean knowing their heart.” He couldn’t believe Leng Zhou because her eyes always held only hatred for him.
“The General should believe the miss.”
“Forget it; she has already escaped the General’s mansion and won’t return.” He would marry Li Bi Han on the day he was supposed to marry Leng Zhou.
“If the miss returns, will the General’s mansion still marry her?” Jing Yi asked anxiously, loving and believing in Leng Zhou.
“She won’t return.” Yun Yi Hen replied coldly, his expression hardening.
Yi Hen turned away, just days ago confidently believing he would return. But the news brought by Shang Fa was enough to make him want to sever any connection with Leng Zhou—she was actually living with Jing Fei.
“General…”
“Go, prepare to welcome the wife,” Yun Yi Hen waved his hand, and Jing Yi dared not speak further, quietly withdrawing.
The things previously prepared for her would now belong to someone else. When she heard of his upcoming wedding in Ye Yao, would her brow furrow? Or would she laugh and say, “Now I’m completely liberated?”
“Summer Leng Zhou…!” he murmured.
=============================
Haha… I’m actually preparing to torment her… Our group number: 94049706… Come quickly…
I am not alone.
SHIT! What the hell kind of wound medicine is this? They’re all from the same medical family, so why did Yun Yi Hen’s medicine work immediately while yours doesn’t? For ten consecutive days, Jing Fei’s wounds hadn’t healed as quickly as Leng Zhou had imagined. Did Yun Yi Hen already know she would come to steal the wound medicine and switch it with another kind?
“Yun Yi Hen has had a special constitution since childhood. As long as his wounds are treated even slightly, he heals quickly, unlike ordinary people,” Jing Fei said. He could already walk and was fortunate not to have been wounded near his heart; otherwise, even divine beings couldn’t have saved him.
“So he’s a monster; everyone there is a monster!” The events at Huang Shitan replayed in her mind. What exactly did Yun Yi Hen eat to have such a body? If she had such a physique, it would be wonderful.
“Are you not planning to return to Yeyu?” He seemed to have heard news of Yun Yi Hen’s upcoming marriage and wondered how she would react.
“I’m not from Yeyu, so why would I go back?” She didn’t belong to any country, feeling like an unnecessary person.
“Then which country are you from?” Jing Fei was curious.
“Don’t look at me like that! I’m not from Yerou, nor from Huachen. I can say I don’t belong to any country. Moreover, if…
I were truly from Yerou, why would I save you? You assassinated Yerou’s prince. If I had taken you to the authorities, wouldn’t I have profited?” She was most afraid of being considered a person from Yerou, as she hadn’t completely escaped Yun Yihen’s control and needed to be cautious.
“Then which country are you from?” Upon reflection, Lingzhou was right. If she were truly from Yerou, he would have been executed long ago.
“I’m an unnecessary person, so let me wander the world. Perhaps one day I’ll find my way back and leave here,” Lingzhou smiled peacefully. Though she lacked parental love in modern times, she at least had friends Xiaoxiao and Weiwei. They must be going crazy looking for her after her body’s time travel.
Seeing Lingzhou’s somewhat pitiful expression, Jingfei’s heart suddenly warmed. “How about this? Come back to Yeyu with me. I’ll adopt you as my sworn sister, so you’ll be considered a person of Yeyu and have me as your brother.”
“I just escaped from the General’s mansion, and now I’m supposed to fly into your royal palace?” Lingzhou wanted to ask why not princess, but seeing Jingfei’s sincerity, she suppressed the thought.
“… You’ll have no restrictions in the royal palace.”
“Alright, I’ll accept you as my brother. When you’re healed, can you teach me martial arts?” Lingzhou seized the opportunity, thinking adopting a prince as a brother was a great deal.
“Of course,” Jingfei smiled faintly, having forgotten how to smile since Jing Mo’s death.
“Wahaha, I’m not alone anymore! Tianwu, Tianwu, I have a brother now!” Lingzhou shouted happily towards the forest.
“Congratulations, miss,” Tianwu’s cold voice still carried genuine congratulations.
Suddenly, a commotion arose, with numerous torches illuminating half the sky below. What happened? Jingfei’s expression immediately turned serious, looking like Si Mu Yi’s troops.
“Tianwu, take Lingzhou and leave first, head towards Ni…
ht Yu’s direction.” Jing Fei picked up his sword, jumped on his horse, and quickly disappeared into the darkness.
“Where are you going?!” Ling Zhou tried to follow Jing Fei, but Tian Wu grabbed her arm.
“Miss, let’s listen to the Prince and leave first.”
“But…” Ling Zhou wanted to argue but then realized following him might cause trouble. “Then we’ll wait for him on the outskirts. I’m worried he’ll be like last time.”
===========================
Speaking of… I like typing at night… hehe~~~~
Reporting to Yun Yi Hen? (2)
Ling Zhou and Tian Wu rode horses through the forest, occasionally encountering guard sentries. Ling Zhou repeatedly looked back to see if Jing Fei was following them, but she saw only endless darkness.
“Tian Wu, I can’t let it go. I want to go back and check.” Just before leaving the forest, Ling Zhou turned her horse back towards the wooden house.
“Miss!” Tian Wu quickly reacted, reining in her horse to block Ling Zhou. “The Prince will find his way out. Miss, please wait patiently at the forest’s edge as he said.”
“But…” After all, Jing Fei was the first person who could truly be called family, even though they shared no blood relation…
“Miss…”
“Fine, we’ll wait at the forest’s edge.” She had no experience breaking through defenses, only hoping heaven wouldn’t be too cruel to her.
They galloped through the dense forest and soon saw the lights of Yao City. They chose a relatively hidden spot to wait for Jing Fei to break through.
“Miss… if the Prince really wants you to return to Night Yu, will you go?” Tian Wu carefully asked in the darkness. Yun Yi Hen’s wedding was approaching, but Ling Zhou had been kept in the dark.
