"What did you mean by what you said just now?" Su Yunling asked Tuoba Ye as soon as he walked out of the prison.

"It's just what you think. I want to see what choice the King of Jin will make between his wife and his cousin."

"You..." Su Yunling wanted to call him shameless.

Tuoba Ye raised his eyebrows slightly, "Don't you want to know what position you hold in that man's heart?"

Su Yunling choked and wanted to say that she didn't want to, but she couldn't open her mouth.

She wanted to know, she really wanted to know.

Although Xiao Ji Chen always showed that he valued her more, she also knew that Liu Caner was special in his heart.

Even though he knew that she had done a lot of stupid things, he only said a few harsh words to her and did not give her any substantial punishment.

Especially after Liu Caner's mother Yin died, Liu Caner, who was not loved by her father, was once again sympathized with and received a lot of care.

Although she couldn't understand why Liu Caner was also abducted to Xirong, she also wanted to know, if Xiao Jichen had to choose between the two, who would he choose?

"How about we make a bet?" Tuoba Ye interrupted Su Yunling's thoughts.

"bet?"

"If Xiao Jichen chooses you, I will let you go, but if he chooses his cousin, you will stay and become the queen of Xirong..."

The day to reveal the answer soon arrived.

Thousands of rays of light pierced through the clouds, and a red sun hung high above the city wall. The wind pushed the clouds forward, and the clouds rolled and unfolded.

The Gobi Desert was like snow. A horse team consisting of hundreds of people passed through the rolling sand and gradually became clear in front of the city wall.

The man in the lead was dressed in black, with eyebrows and eyes as sharp as peaks, and a sharp and cold temperament. It was Xiao Jichen.

At this time, two women were tied on the towering city wall of Monsa City. One was Su Yunling and the other was Liu Caner.

When the two women saw Xiao Jichen under the city, their eyes lit up.

Xiao Ji Chen rode his horse forward and looked up at Tuoba Ye, who had been waiting for a long time with one foot on the city wall.

"You are the king of Xirong, who was once invincible in battles with his iron cavalry and golden swords. But now you are actually attacking two weak women. If you tell others about this, aren't you afraid that people all over the world will despise you?"

The strong wind blew up the black flag on the city wall. Tuoba Ye leaned his head out from the city wall and raised a provocative look towards Xiao Jichen from above.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he got straight to the point: "Your Highness Prince Jin must have come all the way here for these two women. Today, I will give you a favor and allow you to choose one and take it away."

Su Yunling discovered that until Tuoba Ye made his request, Xiao Jichen's gaze had never lingered on her.

This kind of him made her feel very strange.

Is it that the person he cares about more is Liu Caner?

Sure enough, when she looked at Xiao Jichen again, she saw his concerned and restrained eyes pass directly past her and cast towards Liu Caner.

"Brother Junyang, save me~Caner is so scared..." Liu Caner met his gaze and tears of fear fell.

"Your Highness Prince Jin, have you made up your mind? Choose one to take away, or leave both of them behind." Tuoba Ye came behind the two women and reminded them again with a sneer.

"Lingling..." Xiao Jichen finally cast a glance at Su Yunling who had been silent all the time.

But before he could continue speaking, Su Yunling understood his answer from his guilty and reluctant eyes.

"Lingling, I'm sorry. Can'er is weak and has no ability to protect herself, but you can protect yourself. So... I will take Can'er away first, but I will come back to save you as soon as possible."

Although Su Yunling had expected this, after hearing his choice with her own ears, she couldn't be as strong as she had imagined and pretend to be indifferent to deceive herself.

Her heart inevitably ached, and a sour and depressed feeling blocked her chest. She wanted to say something, but her throat was blocked and she couldn't speak. Even her nasal cavity was sore and painful.

But Liu Caner on the side had a completely opposite mood. She completely ignored Su Yunling's feelings and couldn't wait to show the pride of a winner.

"Sister-in-law, I'm sorry! I didn't expect Brother Junyang to choose me. Sister-in-law, you won't be angry, right? Sister-in-law, you are so powerful, you will definitely protect yourself and wait for Brother Junyang to save you, unlike me, who can only rely on Brother Junyang...ah..."

Before Liu Caner could finish showing off proudly, she was suddenly kicked off the city wall by Tuoba Ye.

"Ah——" Liu Caner's panicked scream quickly faded away.

Xiao Jichen on horseback stepped on the stirrups, used his lightness skills to take a few steps forward in the air, stepped on the city wall to leverage the force to rise, and steadily caught Liu Caner.

Liu Caner had fainted from fright when she fell into the man's arms.

Xiao Ji Chen carried her onto the horse's back, holding her against his chest with his arms, and finally his heart settled down.

"Congratulations to Prince Jin for getting his wish. I will not keep you to drink my wedding wine. Leave early!" There was unconcealable joy in Tuoba Ye's deep voice.

When Xiao Ji Chen pulled the reins to turn the horse's head, he turned back and took a deep look at Su Yunling.

The moment Su Yunling looked at him with eyes that were neither sad nor happy, the grief and bitterness in her heart still surged out of her throat.

No matter if he thought she was ignoring the overall situation or was ignorant, there were some things she had to say at this moment:

"Xiao Jichen, you took her away today, and the relationship between you and me is over. I don't need your rescue, and we will be strangers when we meet again in the future."

Xiao Jichen's expression faltered for a moment: "Lingling, stop talking in anger, wait for me..."

A group of people came and went in a hurry, and soon disappeared in the desert Gobi.

The joy of getting what he wanted in Tuoba Ye's eyes could not be hidden at all.

He personally untied the rope for Su Yunling, "Come back to the palace with me! You won't lose out by being the future Queen of Xirong..."

Su Yunling glared at him coldly. Even if Xiao Jichen had let her down, was Tuoba Ye a good man worthy of trust?

She won't choose anyone.

But she still agreed: "Okay..."

Less than an hour after Tuoba Ye sent Su Yunling back to the palace, he left the palace and went to the North City Martial Arts Arena. The Western Rong people valued martial arts over literature, so large-scale martial arts arenas could be seen everywhere in the capital.

"Greetings, Your Majesty..." As soon as they entered the viewing hall, a group of people in the hall bowed and knelt in unison.

Tuoba Ye cast his gaze towards the man who looked 100% like Xiao Jichen, "Get up! You all performed well this time, she has believed it all, everyone will be rewarded handsomely!"

The man stood up and tore off the human skin mask on his face, revealing a face completely different from Xiao Ji Chen.

At this time, Liu Caner, who was standing aside, said, "Your Majesty, we have agreed that I will provide the disguise technique to make Su Yunling give up on my cousin. Now you should help me make my cousin give up on Su Yunling, right?"

Tuoba Ye turned his hawk-like eyes towards Liu Caner. "I have already arranged everything. You can set off back to Yanbei. As long as you do what we agreed before and try to hold him back, that man will be yours..."

Liu Caner reached a cooperation agreement with the King of Xirong as soon as she learned about his feelings for Su Yunling.

The purpose of the cooperation was to break up Xiao Ji Chen and Su Yunling, and they each got what they wanted.

So from the moment Liu Caner threatened to commit suicide to distract Yin Daiqiong, everything was already part of their plan...
