Xu Xing bowed, and only after Yang Ning left did he look up at the remaining people in the room.

"Thank you Madam, thank you Sir, I am sorry for the trouble you have suffered these days."

Ruan Shuyan was silent until the door closed in front of her with a soft bang. Then she said quietly, "Even if things change over time, the current situation is changing too fast."

Xie Yuchun couldn't help laughing, then he frowned and his body swayed slightly.

Ruan Shuyan noticed it and quickly stepped forward to support him: "But the wound hurts again? Sit down quickly."

When they reached the bed, Xie Yuchun raised his head slightly, and his handsome face suddenly caught Ruan Shuyan's eyes.

The two looked at each other, and Ruan Shuyan unconsciously looked away: "My husband, is there something wrong?"

Xie Yuchun smiled and said, "It's okay."

Ruan Shuyan had her doubts in her heart, but after seeing Xie Yuchun, she didn't ask any further questions.

At noon, Xu Xing personally delivered lunch.

Ruan Shuyan called him: "What exactly does Yang Ning want to do?"

Xu Xing paused: "Mrs. Xie should have heard from Lord Xie that this is what our general is going to do."

Ruan Shuyan stood up and walked slowly towards Xu Xing: "Replace the emperor. If Yang Ning doesn't want to cause trouble for himself, he needs a wise ruler, but a wise ruler will not be controlled by him."

Xie Yuchun leaned on the edge of the bed, watching in silence as Ruan Shuyan forced Xu Xing to retreat.

After a few steps, Xu Xing retreated to the door and went out without thinking.

Ruan Shuyan shook her head secretly. Xu Xing really couldn't stand his temper at all.

However, Ruan Shuyan could also understand his behavior. After all, her gratitude to Xu Xing for saving her life was not just lip service.

Putting her thoughts aside, Ruan Shuyan returned to the bedside and heard Xie Yuchun say, "Let's eat."

Ruan Shuyan hummed: "Do you want my help?"

Xie Yuchun waved his hand quickly: "No need."

It's not like he's completely lying down and unable to move, so how can he let his wife feed him?

There was a little more smile in Ruan Shuyan's eyes, and then she helped Xie Yuchun to the table as if nothing had happened.

As prisoners, the two men did not show any sign of nervousness at all.

This attitude made the people who were monitoring outside very puzzled, but they did not dwell on it too much. Instead, they turned around and reported to Yang Ning.

Xu Xing was standing nearby. When he heard the report, he looked a little suspicious: "General, they are so calm. Do they have other plans?"

Yang Ning said calmly: "If there is no other arrangement, it would not be Xie Yuchun."

Xu Xing's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously asked, "Should we interrogate him?"

Yang Ning waved his hand: "No need, the most urgent task now is to find the fourth prince, or is there no trace of him?"

Xu Xing's face darkened. "No, the Fourth Prince seemed to have disappeared out of thin air. Even the innkeeper and the waiter didn't see him leave."

Yang Ning rubbed his fingertips, a hint of coldness flashed across his eyes.

"As long as they are alive, it is impossible for them to disappear out of thin air. Keep investigating. Also, pay more attention to the inn. I always feel that people are still there."

Xu Xing frowned. The inn had been turned upside down. If the person was really there, how could he not be found?

However, Xu Xing kept this thought to himself, without showing it on his face: "I'll arrange it right away."

As time goes by, the situation on the border becomes more and more stable.

The State of Qi even proposed a marriage alliance with the State of Chen.

As soon as this incident happened, someone from the capital came to accept Lan Jinxiu, but when they arrived at the door, they were stopped by Yang Ning.

"The Thirteenth Princess and I were once granted marriage by the Emperor. Although the wedding never took place, the Thirteenth Princess is still my, Yang Ning's, person in name. Marriage? Impossible!"

Su Sheng looked at Yang Ning with a cold expression on his face: "General Yang is right, but the general seems to have forgotten that the marriage was only decided by the emperor, and this time it was the queen who asked me to pick up the princess. Even if the general wants to stop me, he has to say hello to the queen first."

Yang Ning sneered: "You want to fool me with just a few words, do you think I'm a fool?"

The Queen went to pick someone up, and it couldn't be Su Sheng, after all, Su Sheng was the Emperor's confidant.

Su Sheng also knew this. Facing Yang Ning's question, he remained calm: "General, you are too kind. I am indeed doing this trip in response to the Queen's words. Please don't make things difficult for me. How about giving me some convenience?"

Yang Ning said nothing, just looked at Su Sheng silently.

After a long time, the expression on Su Sheng's face froze.

Even after talking to this point, Yang Ning is still unwilling to give in. He is really... difficult to deal with.

"You're thinking that General Ben is difficult, aren't you?"

Su Sheng put aside his thoughts, lowered his eyebrows and said docilely: "The general has misunderstood. I dare not."

Yang Ning sneered: "You know whether you dare or not. Anyway, I'm leaving my ugly words here. You want to pick someone up? Okay, leave your life, and I will personally send the Thirteenth Princess back to the capital."

After saying this, Yang Ning turned and left.

Su Sheng stared at his figure and suddenly said, "Shuiming City is under the jurisdiction of Lord Xie. If the general is not stationed in Shuiyun City and comes here, if the news spreads to the capital, it will be the general's fault. Even if the Zhenbei Army is under the general's jurisdiction, the general must pay the price, right?"

Yang Ning stopped, as if he had heard something ridiculous, and turned around to stare at Su Sheng.

"How many lives do you have?"

The casual question made Su Sheng break out in a cold sweat, but when he thought about the purpose of his visit, he perked up again.

"I only have one life, but this life does not belong to me. If the general wants it, he can take it, but then..."

Su Sheng stopped, looked at Yang Ning meaningfully, and suddenly curled his lips.

"Look at what I'm saying. The general is a hero who guards the border. I'm just a eunuch and can't compare to the general. I'd better go and see Lord Xie. General, bye."

Yang Ning said in a gloomy tone: "This is Xie Yuchun's residence, where else are you going to find him?"

The wind blew and the surroundings fell into silence.

Su Sheng's eyes flickered, but he stood there motionless.

Yang Ning sneered: "Lock him up. Oh, by the way, he wants to see Xie Yuchun, remember to send him there first, and then lock him up after he has seen him."

After just a moment, Su Sheng, Xie Yuchun and Ruan Shuyan looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Cough cough!"

Xie Yuchun suddenly coughed twice, and when Ruan Shuyan and Su Sheng's eyes were all on him, he made a "please" gesture.

"Eunuch Su, Madam, please sit down first."

Ruan Shuyan tilted her head slightly, her thoughts becoming confused.

During this period of time, Xie Yuchun has been recuperating in bed in the mansion. I don't know what Yang Ning was thinking, but he actually urged Wen Sheng to come every day. It's a pity that he left just as Chuntao found all the herbs Wen Sheng wanted.

Think about it, the current situation is still unclear, and Su Sheng has come to the capital. What exactly is happening outside?
