After being rejected, he emptied the mansion and went into exile

Pan Ye glanced sideways and nodded slightly.

Shen Jinyao nodded in response.

Although she and Pan Ye had known each other for quite some time, they had never spoken more than a few sentences in total.

Even so, Shen Jinyao could feel that Pan Ye had become a little strange recently.

Although Pan Ye didn't talk much before, his words were a bit harsh.

But I won’t be as worried as I am now.

Moreover, she heard from Murong Wenyi that it was Pan Ye who volunteered to go to the Qiang tribe this time.

"Commander Pan, does something seem to be on your mind?"

In the past, whenever Shen Jinyao spoke, Pan Ye would definitely say something harsh.

This time there was no rebuttal.

"Whether you have any worries or not, Miss Shen doesn't need to worry about it."

Shen Jinyao nodded indifferently.

Since she didn't want to say it, she didn't want to ask.

She was just curious and always felt that Pan Ye had become more mysterious.

I also wanted to test whether Pan Ye’s secret was related to the Shen family.

However, judging from Pan Ye's reaction, he probably didn't think about doing anything to the Shen family.

This time when they set out to visit the Qiang people, only Pan Ye stayed away from the crowd.

Even Xiang Hongxuan has been actively cooperating.

He even asked Shen Jinyao to "put on makeup" for him every day, and the two of them would sometimes chat and laugh.

But Pan Ye always stays alone like this.

He looked like he should not be approached by strangers.

This is completely different from the previous Pan Ye.

Before, Pan Ye was at most harsh and mean-spirited, which was also related to his job.

But now he is basically a taciturn person.

It's a bit like...

Like Ergou, that is, when Murong Wenyi was stranded in Jiuzhou Kingdom.

Could it be that Pan Ye also has his own troubles?

"Then I won't bother Commander Pan."

"Hey!"

Pan Ye called out to Shen Jinyao.

Shen Jinyao looked at Pan Ye in surprise.

"Miss Shen, do you have any wine?"

……

"Commander Pan, how did you know I had wine?"

"Haha, just because General Shen drinks, I can't drink it?"

Shen Jinyao remembered that a few days ago, Zhixin and Lanlan came to her and said they needed some wine.

Shen Jinyao knew what the wine was used for without asking.

The two of them must be researching poison or life-saving medicine. In any case, they must have come to her because they had no other choice.

Of course she had wine.

She has all kinds of wine in her space.

So she pretended to take out a small pot of wine, claiming that she had kept it with her in case of emergency.

Children are definitely easier to fool.

However, this matter somehow got to know by General Xiang.

"General Xiang, do you want to drink too?"

Xiang Hongxuan: "Can't I drink?"

So the two of them drank until midnight.

Xiang Hongxuan looked at the extra wine glass and said nothing.

Shen Jinyao was also observing Xiang Hongxuan.

She just wanted to see if Xiang Hongxuan trusted her enough.

At least now they are in the same boat.

But, not bad.

Because of a drink, Shen Jinyao knew Xiang Hongxuan's attitude towards her.

If Shen Jinyao took something out of the space in a dangerous moment, Xiang Hongxuan would not settle the score with her afterwards.

As for what Xiang Hongxuan thought of her, she didn't want to know, nor did she want to care.

She only cared about whether Xiang Hongxuan would stab her in the back when they were fighting the enemy together.

So when she was about to reach the Qiang tribe, she would always act more unscrupulously in front of Xiang Hongxuan, intentionally or unintentionally.

Although being asked by Zhixin for wine was not part of her plan, Xiang Hongxuan was able to see it because she did not hide it too much.

The hidden danger that had been lurking in her heart was resolved because of a drink.

Unexpectedly, Pan Ye saw it.

Although Pan Ye's power is not as great as Xiang Hongxuan's, Pan Ye is the emperor's man.

"Haha, there's still some left. Do you want some?"

As usual, Shen Jinyao did not explain where the wine came from, how much was left, and how she hid so much wine?

Pan Ye was not concerned about where the wine came from at this moment, he just wanted to drink.

Shen Jinyao brought the wine.

The two of them were drinking together not far away, but they didn't see Xiang Hongxuan nearby.

Shen Jinyao raised her hand to block Pan Ye's hand holding the wine glass.

Pan Ye glanced at Shen Jinyao.

"Commander Pan, we're going into the city tomorrow, and you've already had three drinks."

Pan Ye smiled and said, "This is the last cup."

Shen Jinyao did not stop him, but chuckled and said, "Wine is really a good thing. Some people use wine to have fun, while others use wine to relieve their sorrows."

"Commander Pan doesn't seem to be enjoying himself."

She looked at Pan Ye, who was holding the wine glass in a daze.

"Commander Pan, it's fine if you don't want to tell others about your inner annoyance, but don't forget that you and I both have a mission."

"Haha, mission."

Pan Ye showed a sarcastic smile on his face.

All this was just the old emperor's plan.

Old Emperor, Old Emperor...

That's his biological father too!

He couldn't tell any of this, so who could he tell?

Thinking about this, he poured another glass of wine.

Shen Jinyao snatched it away quickly.

"Commander Pan, no matter how unhappy you are, don't forget that we are carrying the hopes of Kyushu Nation on our shoulders."

"Haha, Jiuzhou Kingdom? Isn't it the Third Prince's?"

"Isn't the Third Prince a citizen of Kyushu? Do you want to see the two countries continue to fight like this?"

"I don't want to, but does anyone care?"

Pan Ye's voice became louder.

His eyes were terribly red, and I couldn't tell if it was because he was drinking or because he remembered something.

Originally, Pan Ye had always felt unrestrained, and of course the only one who restrained him was the emperor.

Shen Jinyao couldn't help but be shocked.

No wonder Pan Ye is like this, is it related to the emperor?

Didn’t they say that the emperor was going to die?

"Every citizen has a duty to his country. If you don't want to go to the Qiang tribe, you can turn around now."

"But what are you doing now? You won't tell anyone when they ask you. Aren't you the only one who's feeling miserable because of this?"

"As a man, shouldn't you do things with a clear conscience?"

Pan Ye said in a cold voice: "I don't need you to teach me how to do things."

Pan Ye turned his face away.

Shen Jinyao saw Pan Ye's back trembling.

She sighed in her heart. Pan Ye was really pitiful.

If it really is related to the emperor, then Pan Ye would be the only one who would be pitiful.

There is no turning back when drawing a bow.

Shen Jinyao could only take the risk.

After a while, Pan Ye's emotions seemed to have calmed down a lot.

"You're drinking with me, aren't you afraid that General Xiang will get jealous?"

Shen Jinyao was angry.

"Commander Pan, if you want me to leave, just say so. Saying these nonsense..."

She has no relationship with Xiang Hongxuan anymore.

Pan Ye definitely did it on purpose to make her angry and leave.

"Haha, you're still angry. I didn't expect General Xiang to be so magnanimous. Someone he was engaged to be with could be so calm."

Shen Jinyao glared at Pan Ye.

She said, "I see Commander Pan is in a much better mood. In that case, I hope Commander Pan will take good care of me in the future when I am in the Qiang tribe."

Pan Ye smiled and nodded.

Shen Jinyao got the answer she wanted and stood up and left.

But she knew that Pan Ye's knot in his heart should have been resolved a little.
