The blackened marquis insists that the husband should be more valuable than the son!

The wind and snow outside the window have not stopped, and the swaying candlelight is reflected on the window paper.

Xue Mingyue's face flushed red with heat. She suddenly learned so many secrets from him. Her heart was pounding, but strangely, she no longer felt as uneasy as before.

The person in front of her is still the same person, but she is no longer worried about the uncertain future.

Xue Mingyue slightly avoided his burning gaze, picked up the cup on the table and drank a sip of water to relieve her slightly dry throat.

Then he subconsciously added: "So the Dingyuan Army at the border has long been under your control?"

“It wasn’t before, but it is now.”

"After I came back, I placed my confidants in important positions in the army. In the past six months, I have finally suppressed the power of the old army members," Xie Lang filled her cup again, "At least I can make them obey my orders."

Xue Mingyue thought about his words seriously.

In this regard, she knew far less about the situation in the Dingyuan Army than Xie Lang.

She only knew that Xie Lang was able to fight his way back to the capital from the border in his previous life, and that by then, all the soldiers in the army must have become his confidants. Now it was just a matter of repeating it all, and it was not a difficult task for him.

As long as the people in the capital are under control, with Xie Lang's status, the orders he issues will surely be carried out smoothly in the army.

He can even contact the chess pieces hidden in the dark...

Xue Mingyue was just thinking about what he meant by saying this, when she heard him suddenly say, "I have transferred a troop from Dingyuan Army to Beijing, and they will arrive in the capital soon."

"??"

Xue Mingyue's pupils suddenly shrank and she looked at him fiercely.

She opened her mouth, her lips trembling, and she couldn't say anything for a long time: "You..."

It would be fine if he just told her about other things, but why did he talk about the deployment of troops so openly? Isn't he afraid that the walls have ears? How could he be so careless!

Xue Mingyue gasped and subconsciously grabbed his wrist.

I couldn't help but lower my voice, my tone tense.

"Couldn't you keep your voice down when you say that?"

What if there are spies planted here by others to gather intelligence?

If it gets leaked, they'll be finished!

Seeing her reaction like this, Xie Lang's eyelashes curved, a smile appeared on his lips, and he deliberately lowered his voice to cooperate with her and said, "Don't worry, there won't be spies sent by other families in the Marquis' Mansion."

Even if there had been spies before, they were deliberately left behind to confuse the people behind the scenes.

After he was reborn, he ordered people to clean up all those spies. Now, those who can stay in the Marquis' Mansion and the Muqing Courtyard are all people he specially selected. With Liu Lan and the others watching over them, there will be no problem.

These words did not make Xue Mingyue feel relieved.

Instead, she became even more worried. If it were a quarter of an hour ago, she would never have thought that Xie Lang would actually transfer troops from the northern border to Beijing at this critical juncture!

What else can he do by dispatching troops to Beijing at this time?

Xue Mingyue's mind suddenly became a mess. She held Xie Lang's hand tightly, her eyes empty, and murmured in a low voice: "Let me think about it, let me think about it..."

Does he want to be the regent this time, or does he want to ascend the throne as emperor like in his previous life?

Xie Lang raised the corner of his lips and touched her head in a good mood.

All her emotions were written on her face, and one could tell at a glance what she was thinking. Knowing that she was daydreaming, Xie Lang did not interrupt her in time, but looked at her seriously and intently.

Until this moment, he still had the illusion that he was in a dream.

It had been a really long time since he had seen her show concern and worry for him. The long-lost feeling made him feel as if his blood was boiling, and his heart was beating like a drum as never before.

What happened today was like pie in the sky.

Xie Lang just wanted to stare at her intently, constantly making sure that this was true and there was not a single falsehood - that she was seriously, seriously considering their future together and considering accepting him again.

Just thinking of this sentence, he couldn't help but feel excited.

So, when Xue Mingyue became more and more anxious and had begun to consider whether she should break up with him if he really wanted to become emperor, she looked up and saw him grinning foolishly.

Laugh, laugh, laugh at what!

"..."

Xue Mingyue was immediately furious.

She was so angry that her teeth itched. She reached out and pinched the soft flesh on his waist, twisted it angrily, and whispered, "Tell me honestly, what exactly are you interrupting in the future?"

Xie Lang met her pretended fierce expression and hissed twice with his teeth bared.

He smiled and said, "I have already told you what I will do in the future."

"Xie Jinglan! Be serious!"

Xue Mingyue glared at him, looked around privately, then moved closer to him and lowered her voice and said, "What I mean is, what do you think about that...that position?"

If he was really interested in the dragon throne, then she would have to part ways with him.

Her voice was unusually tense.

Xie Lang understood what she meant, but seeing that her expression was very serious, he gave up the idea of ​​teasing her. He lowered his eyes slightly, and fixed his gaze on her slightly red cheek.

Gently press it against the back of your hand.

Her cheeks were burning, and the slightly cool back of his hand lowered the temperature a little when he placed it against her cheeks.

Xie Lang pursed his lips slightly, a faint smile in his dark eyes, her small figure reflected in his eyes.

It was so small, yet it occupied his entire field of vision.

"Back then, you died in the sea of ​​fire. My lover and the last relative in this world disappeared. The reason I kept living at that time was to find out the truth for you and to avenge you."

"I haven't done enough. I've only been a regent."

The truth has only just been uncovered.

He lowered his head and looked at her steadily. Seeing her misty eyes, he suddenly smiled and said, "Just as you saw in your dream, I died the day before I ascended the throne. I was still a regent when I died. I have never had any other thoughts in my life."

At this point, Xie Lang paused and corrected, "That's not right. I still have some ideas."

If Xue Mingyue raised her head slightly, her nose would bump into his. Their breathing gradually blended together. Her heart suddenly lifted when she heard these words.

"what idea?"

"Remember what I asked you before?"

Xie Lang looked serious, holding her hand, and said, "Suzhou is actually not as good as you think. There is no night market with bright lights, nor a lantern festival with thousands of lights. But my parents left me a mansion there. You can grow vegetables or medicinal herbs if you want."

"Do you want to come with me and make Suzhou what you want it to be?"
