Chapter 1910

But a truly sharp blade should be tempered and refined by the swordsman himself, so that it can be connected by blood.

Shi Anxia suddenly clenched her quilt. If the emperor she had single-handedly helped to establish himself eventually lost his mind, appointed people based on personal connections, and slaughtered loyal officials... wouldn't she have to watch helplessly as Lu Sangyu's blood splattered on the steps, Gu Boyan unjustly died in prison, and Tang Xinghe and the others were killed by a cup of poisoned wine?

Because everyone knew that these people were hers! How could any emperor with a narrow mind tolerate them?

Thinking of this, Shi Anxia suddenly sat up, and she didn't need to sleep anymore. She was sweating profusely. Why should a loyal minister or a good general be afraid of dying on the battlefield? She was afraid that the blade that killed her would come from her own people who were supposed to be fighting with her.

Cen Yuan smiled and pulled her to lie down again, "Look, look, I told you I couldn't tell you."

He put his arms around her and patted her back gently, "Be good and go to sleep. For things like rain or marriage, just let it happen naturally. It's no big deal."

It was almost 9:00 p.m. the next day when Anxia woke up.

Finally, some grayish light came through the tent. The soothing incense in the gilded incense burner had already burned out, leaving only a wisp of residual smoke.

When Shi Anxia lifted the quilt, she found that the snow that fell last night was shining on the window paper. No wonder the room was so bright and clean.

It's been sunny for a few days and the snow hasn't melted yet, why is it snowing again?

She pressed her fingertips on her temples. It seemed as if Cen Yuan's words from last night were still ringing in her ears. She was so excited that she barely fell asleep after the third watch. At this moment, there was still a hint of blue in her eyes.

"Madam is finally awake." Bei Hui came in with a copper basin, and the white air she exhaled dissipated by the curtain. She twisted a hot towel and handed it to her, whispering, "The young master left early today. When I came in at 11:00 a.m., he was no longer in the tent."

"He's busy." Shi Anxia lay down and put the hot towel on her eyes. "Is there anything else happening this morning?"

Bei Hui replied, "Master Xie has gone to the prison with your seal to pick someone up. He is now sitting in the main hall with Master Xie Yu having breakfast. I think he has something to ask of you."

Bei Hui was a little annoyed when talking about this matter. "That fake Xie Yu really doesn't treat himself as an outsider. He said he came early, didn't have breakfast, and asked Nan Yan for food."

Shi Anxia also laughed angrily after hearing this, "This is a wonderful person, just give it to him. Our breakfast is very precious, I'm just afraid that he will burn his mouth if he eats it."

Bei Hui nodded, "I thought so too, so I asked someone to prepare breakfast for the two brothers. Mr. Xie couldn't eat it at all and was fidgeting. But the fake Xie Yu was open-minded and ate with great relish." He remembered something and laughed again, "Nan Yan said she wanted to put rat poison in it."

The handkerchief was cold, so Shi Anxia handed it over, "Give me another one, I'm very tired."

Bei Hui just looked at her master and smiled.

Shi Anxia immediately realized what she was thinking and sat up, "Bad Beihui, it's not what you think."

Bei Hui ran with the handkerchief and soaked it in the copper basin on the shelf to warm it up again. "Madam, I'm not thinking about anything. What do you think I'm thinking about, huh?"

Shi Anxia's face flushed, "Bei Hui, you've learned bad things! Humph!"

Bei Hui was delighted by the mistress's two "humphs", how lively! She always felt that her master had too much on her shoulders and was too sullen, not like someone of her age.

She chuckled again, "No matter how bad he is, he is still my wife's Beihui."

Bei Hui put a hot towel on Madam's eyes, and then gently massaged her legs. "Madam, Master Zhuo asked me to ask you if you want to use something to hold Xie Yu?"
