Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 2232

To be honest, he is a traitor!

He fell to his knees, and tearfully said that he knew nothing, but his whole heart was with Beiyi, and he was willing to die for Princess Haiyan.

Shi Anxia said, "The next Imperial Merchant has already been chosen by your Xie family, but your Xie family must ensure that this fake Fourth Young Master Xie is well-guarded and cannot leave Tiema City at all."

Xie Huai accepted the task with his life on the line, and his ultimate mission for the rest of his life was to take care of "Xie Si".

The head can be cut off and the blood can be shed, but Xie Si cannot run away.

In this way, Cen Che managed to survive the already frail and sickly real Xie Si, and he became the Xie Si in everyone's eyes, receiving some pocket money from his eldest brother every month.

In short, it is difficult to move forward because of hiding one's identity and being poor.

Shi Anrou suddenly realized, "He approached me because he knew I had a special pass. He wanted to return to Liang State! You bastard, I knew his motives were not pure!"

Then he said, "He's so ungrateful for what he has! Sparing his life is already very kind. Does he still want to return to Liang State to revive his power? Oh, did he find the gold mine?"

"Of course, we can't let him get his hands on our North Wing gold mine..."

Cen Che never showed any involvement in the gold mine affairs; they were all handled by his minions.

Since all of his minions had been captured by Cen Yuan, the groundwork that Cen Che had laid in the early stages naturally paved the way for Bei Yi.

Shi Anxia explained, "General Wu led his men to take over the gold mine."

Shi Anrou sighed, "This guy..."

I inexplicably feel that this guy is very similar to my past self, wanting to jump around but being timid, and encountering obstacles everywhere in his actions.

At that time, Anrou was returning to the North Wing from Liang State. She reached the city gate, checked her pass, and was about to step over the high, wide threshold when Captain Zheng, on duty, called out, "Young lady, please stay!"

Shi Anrou turned around in surprise.

Captain Zheng strode over, his sword at his waist, his face solemn and businesslike. He bowed and said, "Excuse me, young lady. A man claiming to be your husband is trying to cross the border to find you. Because he has no permits and his behavior is suspicious, we have detained him. According to the rules, please go over and identify him to see if he is real."

Shi Anrou followed him to the detention shed next to the city gate, which was used for interrogations, and saw Cen Che sitting inside with his head drooped, like an abandoned stray dog.

"Is this your husband?" asked Captain Zheng.

Shi Anrou didn't answer.

Cen Che raised his head pitifully. "If you don't admit it, I'll be exiled thousands of miles away." He was the boss, and at this moment, his eyes were red. "Can you bear it?"

"Silence!" Captain Zheng roared.

Cen Che stopped talking, stopped looking at Shi Anrou, and simply lowered his head. This feeling of world-weariness wasn't new; it had been there for a long time.

He just wanted to go back to Liang State to die, but this was impossible.

Unspeakable grievance!

He didn't do anything harmful!

He just wanted to dig a gold mine, but the gold mine never passed his hands, did it?

Just when he was so desperate that he had no hope, Shi Anrou spoke up, "He married into my useless husband's family."
