"I don't know. It is said that he was seriously ill and submitted his resignation to the emperor. Although the emperor tried to keep him, he still left. No one knows where he went."

"he's gone?"

Is he sick?

Will I be poisoned after opening the purse?

Or in other words, Leng Rujing left, and he left too, heartbroken?

So did he live in another place, or did he die of poisoning on the road?

All kinds of thoughts swirled in Luo Nianxi's mind, making her a little anxious.

No matter what, Guo Wei always worked hard when he was in Prince Yan's Mansion.

He holds a high position, but he never looks down on others.

Although he is good at kung fu, he never looks down on people who are worse at kung fu than him.

If such a man really died from Leng Rujing's poisonous wallet.

That is truly an injustice that will go down in history.

"Let's go and see Princess Rujing."

Her brows tightened in an instant.

Bai Lan looked at her in confusion.

"Should we tell her the news?"

She paused, then shook her head.

"She is emotionally unstable and can't speak directly. Just tell her later that Guo Wei is leading his troops to the southern region to provide support..."

As she spoke, she walked out of the door and headed towards the side hall.

Just as she was about to walk into the door of the side hall, she bumped into Leng Rujing.

Leng Rujing took two steps back.

"Sister Nian Xi, I just happened to have something to talk to you about."

I don’t know when it started, but their relationship became closer. She no longer called her by her name, but preferred to call her sister.

She nodded, "Well, I have something to tell you too."

Leng Rujing took back her foot that was about to step out of the door and welcomed her into the house.

"Then you say it first."

Luo Nianxi pondered for a while and said:

"The people who went to Pingyang State have returned. Guo Wei is not in the capital. He led his troops to the south to provide support."

When Guo Wei's name was mentioned, Leng Rujing's heart began to beat wildly.

"He didn't open the purse? Is he really okay?"

"It's okay. You gave him that purse. I guess he's reluctant to open it!"

Leng Rujing finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's good. I hope he never opens that purse."

At this point, she added:

"By the way, Ye Zi just heard in the front yard that my fourth brother stood up and he is back to normal. Don't you think this is miraculous?"

'ah? ’

After hearing the news, Luo Nianxi didn't know what to say for a moment.

Although she knew he would stand up, she still felt excited when she heard it from someone else.

Leng Rujing said again:

"I heard that he is recruiting soldiers in Pingyang to attack the Northern Chu Kingdom. Do you think he could be here for you?"

These words made Luo Nianxi's heart start beating wildly.

She didn't know if he came for her, she only knew that she wanted to see him very much. She wanted to see him stand up, wield a sword, and look heroic.

Seeing Luo Nianxi pondering, Leng Rujing suddenly seemed to have thought of something, and with a pale face, he grabbed her hand.

"Sister Nianxi, if Fourth Brother really comes to find you, will you go back? Will you go back with him?"

When she mentioned this issue, she suddenly felt a little scared.

Before Luo Nianxi could answer, she began to sob.

"I know you will go back with him, but what should I do if you leave? My belly is getting bigger and bigger, how can I hide it? When I give birth, how can I avoid being discovered? If the people of Northern Chu find out that I have deceived them, they will definitely kill me and my child. What should I do? What should I do?"

Her emotions seemed to collapse in an instant.

Her expression turned ugly in an instant.

She stroked her belly and suddenly pulled Luo Nianxi's hand.

"If you touch it, it will move. Sometimes it will move around. I can feel a little life moving around in my belly. I want it to be born smoothly. I want it to survive..."

At this point, she suddenly slid off the couch, knelt on her knees, and looked at her with tears in her eyes.

"Sister Nianxi, I know it's selfish of me to say this, but I really have no other choice. Can you please not leave? If Fourth Brother really comes, you can leave then, because you have a reason to leave, but I don't! I am alone here, and if you leave, I really can't protect this child. I don't have the ability. I want him to live, I want him to grow up, I beg you, don't abandon me."

After saying this, she began to kowtow to her. Luo Nianxi quickly raised her hand to stop her.

"Didn't I promise you that I would wait until you gave birth to the baby before leaving? Hurry up and get up. You can't get too excited now."

"Sister Nianxi...thank you."

Leng Rujing stood up from the ground, sat on the couch again, and directly attached himself to her.

"Sister Nian Xi, without you, I really don't know what I would do. I really don't know."

She patted her back and kept comforting her.

"I promised you that I would protect your child and ensure that he is born safely. I will definitely do it. Don't worry!"

She had already made up her mind that even if Leng Yiyan really came to find her, she could not abandon Leng Rujing.

She was indulged by Chu Hanxiang in every way, and no one dared to mess with her.

Leng Rujing was different. If she really left, Leng Rujing would have to go to Prince Rui's Mansion. Once the baby in her belly was exposed, she would really lose her life.

……

The war god general of Pingyang State regained his power overnight, and the news spread instantly throughout the Northern Chu State.

For this reason, Chu Hanxiang specially ordered people to surround the Prince's Mansion tightly, and also specifically instructed the guards at the gate that Luo Nianxi was not allowed to go out during this period.

He was really scared. He was not afraid of fighting, but he was afraid that Leng Yiyan would take his girl Xi away.

His life has become more wonderful because of Xi girl, and he will never allow such a thing to happen.

It was not until dark that he arrived at Qiuxiang Garden. He originally thought that Luo Nianxi, who was in the deep house, would not know the news. He thought he had done it perfectly.

Luo Nianxi did not mention this matter in front of him, but said to him with a calm expression:

"I heard that the Crown Princess is unwell. Shouldn't you go see her?"

Chu Hanxiang picked up a cup of tea and took a sip, then waved his hand.

"No need, her body is like that, sometimes good, sometimes bad, no need to look at it."

Luo Nianxi suddenly frowned.

"I never thought you were such a heartless and ungrateful person. Your wife was sick, but you didn't even want to show your face or even look at her. Just from this, I know how miserable my future would be if I were to be with you..."

"Xi girl, no, I won't do this to you."

"When you were with Hu Jiaoyue, you also said something like this to her, right?"

Her question made Chu Hanxiang stunned for a moment.

Although he and Hu Jiaoyue were married by imperial decree, he really liked her when she first married him, and he also vowed to treat her well for the rest of his life.

But as time went by, he forgot his original promise, especially when she couldn't give birth to a child, he married concubines one after another. In the past two years, he was unwilling to sleep with her...

Seeing that he seemed to be reminiscing, Luo Nianxi took advantage of the situation and pursued him.

"If I were you, no matter what she becomes, I would remember the bond we had as husband and wife and love her a little more than other women. But you spend all day focusing on me, a woman who has no feelings for you at all and even hates you. Do you think it's worth it?"

Her question made his brows tighten instantly.

After a long pause, he nodded.

"You're right. I'll go accompany her tonight. You should go to bed early. Oh, and I asked someone to prepare some fruit for you. They're all tribute fruits. You can't buy them on the street. Remember to eat them."

Seeing that he finally agreed to go to Hu Jiaoyue's place, Luo Nianxi nodded with great relief.

"Okay, go ahead and give the Crown Princess a surprise."

Chu Hanxiang hesitated for a moment before he stood up. Before leaving, he turned around and looked at her.

"Xi girl, I will listen to whatever you say, but... I hope you won't leave me."

Leaving behind this slightly ambiguous remark, he turned and left.

There was a faint smile on Luo Nianxi's lips.

Tell her not to leave him?

He must be dreaming. How could he expect a woman he had robbed to be devoted to him? He really dared to think so.

Now that Leng Yiyan has stood up again, even if he doesn't have her in his heart, he will come to take her back for the sake of his own face.

I just hope that before I go back, I can see Leng Jiaoyue pregnant. In this way, Chu Hanxiang might be grateful for her kindness and let her return to Pingyang Kingdom smoothly.
