After the tragic death of the daughter of the emperor, she returned to her former marriage and refus

Your Highness and I...

Xu Jinghuai's heart was deeply touched.

A tingling electric current seemed to instantly fill his entire body.

It made his already surging love even more intense.

He looked at her with tenderness and love, and saw her tears like pearls, and his heart was beating fast.

The beating became more intense.

He murmured, "I was wrong, I was wrong... I should have believed you, I believe you."

I believe that although you are as gorgeous as a summer flower, you can also be as fragrant as a wintersweet.

Believe that you can be as gentle as water and as strong as a rock.

I should believe in you, believe that you can be gentle and innocent, and can resist the malice of the world.

Because you still have me, I still have me. I will accompany you, and I will work with you to break the rumors and prove how stupid and powerless the rumors are.

"Now, Your Highness, can you answer my second question?"

Yan Yunshu fiddled with Xu Jinghuai's belt, still leaning on his chest.

Xu Jinghuai stroked her hair and replied.

"Of course you can."

Yan Yunshu continued to dial the number one by one.

Asked aggrievedly.

"Why, don't you reply?"

Xu Jinghuai was puzzled. "When has this prince never replied? Even the last letter I wrote a year ago, I replied. I even had Yingfeng personally send it back to the capital and personally delivered it to the Marquis' Mansion."

"Really? Then..." Yan Yunshu's hand gently slid to the jade pendant on Xu Jinghuai's waist, "Your Highness, have you returned the jade pendant that was enclosed in this letter to its owner?"

Xu Jinghuai was stunned. "Where is the jade pendant?"

Yan Yunshu's expression froze, and then a sly smile appeared secretly at the corner of her mouth.

She didn't want to be so roundabout in her words to Xu Jinghuai, but now, she didn't want to leave an impression in Xu Jinghuai's mind that she was interfering in state affairs and making irresponsible remarks on military affairs before she officially became the Crown Princess.

I could only tell him the truth in this roundabout way.

"Your Highness, do you still remember what was written in the letter?"

"Of course I remember. It's all about the progress of the grain donation and daily matters. I can recite the contents of the letter by heart. At the end of the letter, it also said that it missed me..."

"Your Highness..." Yan Yunshu pouted and looked at Xu Jinghuai with dissatisfaction, "Your Highness has not remembered the last letter I wrote to you, let alone the jade pendant and the things described in the letter."

Xu Jinghuai was anxious. He raised his hand and said, "I swear to heaven that I will never forget every letter my beloved concubine wrote to me, every word."

"But why didn't Your Highness tell me the content of my last letter?" Yan Yunshu felt more and more aggrieved, and tears were about to fall again.

Xu Jinghuai was so nervous that he didn't know what to do. He even reached out to catch Yan Yunshu's tears.

I was so panicked that I almost lost my mind.

"This, this... How is it possible..."

"Could it be, could it be..." Xu Jinghuai suddenly regained his composure, "This prince did not receive that letter, so...did your letter go through the civilian route or the official route?"

"Because of the urgency of the matter, I was afraid that I would not have enough time to explain it to His Highness, so I took the civilian route as an expedited route. I set out from the East City Post Station on the first day of July last year."

After Yan Yunshu finished speaking this series of words, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally, I explained the matter to Xu Jinghuai.

As smart as Xu Jinghuai was, it didn't take him long to understand what she meant.

As for whether to believe General He or not, it depends on Xu Jinghuai's choice.

The order of questions today was also something she had considered.

Ask about rumors first, then ask about facts.

He didn't want the false military achievements brought about by a letter to affect Xu Jinghuai's judgment on how to deal with the rumors.

What's more, I don't want to use the fact that military achievements are fake to stimulate Xu Jinghuai to clarify the rumors.

Yan Yunshu has her own little thoughts.

She wanted to see with her own eyes who Xu Jinghuai would choose between comradeship and herself, putting aside the key factor of military merit.

Now she knew the answer.

Then you can raise this second question without any scruples.

Her bright eyes were hidden in Xu Jinghuai's arms, rolling around.

"What's in the letter?"

Xu Jinghuai gently stroked her hair and asked, "Why the jade pendant?"

"On the day I wrote this letter, I met a skilled craftsman in the market. He was worried about the war on the front. I happened to be coming from the Ministry of War to inquire about the war situation. I chatted with him for a while and learned that he was the missing third prince of Hansha Kingdom, Mo Nianci. So, I persuaded him and persuaded him to return to Hansha immediately to save the innocent people in distress. I also ordered many secret guards to accompany him and protect him. However, my secret guards are definitely not as good as your highness's, so they can only escort him to Xiangyang City on the border. Therefore, I thought of writing a letter to your highness as soon as possible, and send the token given by the craftsman with it, so that your highness can take the jade pendant to the Yuelai Inn in Xiangyang City as soon as possible to help Mo Nianci return to the Hansha Palace as soon as possible, ease the stalemate of the war, and relieve your highness's worries."

Xu Jinghuai's eyes grew darker as he listened. When he heard the last part, he suddenly hugged Yan Yunshu tightly.

Unexpectedly, in addition to raising funds and donating food, she also made such efforts for herself.

Unfortunately, the letter was not received.

only……

He Zhixiao appeared in front of him.

General He.

But General He, was it really as she said, that he happened to hear the information about Mo Nianci while shopping in Xiangyang City, and successfully found out Mo Nianci's whereabouts, and then reported it to himself?

It was through this incident that He Zhixiao obtained the rank of fifth-rank general, a position that other soldiers could never obtain in their entire lives.

But now that I think about it carefully, the letter Yan Yunshu sent to me disappeared on the road.

Coincidentally, He Zhixiao obtained information and whereabouts about Mo Nianci so easily at the border.

And as the most favored prince of Hansha Kingdom, how could Mo Nianci easily reveal any of his whereabouts and information to anyone in the border city where dangers are lurking everywhere and assassins are eyeing him covetously?

It can only be obtained with a token.

But General He never mentioned the token.

that……

Xu Jinghuai suddenly understood.

It must be that Yan Yunshu's letter was stolen by He Zhixiao!

Then everything becomes clear.

A fierce anger surged in his heart.

What a He Zhixiao! How dare he steal the letter and military merits!

A dignified fifth-rank general was actually stolen!

How dare she, how dare she?

He pondered over this for a long time with a cold expression. Then the autumn wind blew, bringing a cool breeze, and he realized that the person in his arms had become heavier.

When I looked down, I found that Yan Yunshu had fallen asleep.

A face that is both beautiful and charming, exuding a calm and peaceful aura.

It was the look of someone letting go of all burdens and baggage, sleeping peacefully in his arms.

The anger in his heart instantly dissipated, and he reached out his hand and gently touched her cheek.

It turned out that she was really not afraid.

In this case, how could he retreat?
