Quick Wear: Oh no, the lady is running away with the ball again

The next day, Yun Qian was drawing her eyebrows in front of the dressing mirror when she suddenly had an idea: she wanted to open the national treasury to see the treasures. The servants didn't have the authority to do so, but they didn't dare to delay, so they immediately asked to go find General Xia.

Hearing this, the woman reflected in the mirror smiled. It was so bright, yet it gave people a chill... as if she could kill them in the next moment... Strange, the princess never smiled like that. But the servants were stunned for only a second before they quickly retreated, not daring to look any further.

Xia Li arrived soon after hearing the news. He intuitively sensed that Yun Qian was looking for an opportunity to speak with him. Indeed, a nation's treasury was naturally a place of extreme confidentiality, so there was no need to worry about eavesdropping... If he dismissed everyone, wouldn't that be a legitimate excuse?

Xia Li thought he had guessed Yun Qian's intention, and pretended to be embarrassed for a moment. How could Yun Qian not know what was in this man's mind, so he continued to put pressure on him, saying that he must go.

So, Yun Qian walked openly into the Former Xia Kingdom's treasury for the first time. Actually, she was a little confused. Logically, the treasures of conquered countries should be transferred to the central government. This room full of gold and jade didn't seem right. Didn't her father use all this for military expenses? Didn't Qi Huan also transfer all this to the central government?

Xia Li seemed to see through her confusion and immediately explained, "Wherever Your Majesty goes, the local merchants will automatically hand over their gold and silver according to Qin's laws..."

Yun Qian suddenly realized that these "stingy people" remembered that when the country was about to go to war, no one was willing to donate. His father was not strong-handed enough, and those tycoons were fearless and ran away with their property early.

As for Qi Huan's rules, there was no need to explain them; everyone knew them. It was just that she had just arrived and was not very familiar with them.

--------

Soon, the main topic began.

The two of them stayed together, Yun Qian looking directly into Commander Xia's eyes. Her eyes were filled with a complex expression, as if she urgently needed Xia Li to prove his identity. Xia Li suppressed his impulse for the moment, knowing that now was not the time.

Yun Qian was the first to ask, "General Xia, I heard that you once lost your memory. Is that true?"

"Yes, Your Majesty. But how did Your Majesty learn this?"

Yun Qian had an indifferent expression, with eyes full of complexity and nostalgia, and asked him: "Do you still remember your hometown? Your relatives, your fiancée..." As she spoke, Yun Qian's eyes were already covered with a layer of mist, and the effect was realistic.

Xia Li suddenly panicked for a moment. It was too obvious, Yun Qian thought.

"Princess……"

The moment Wen Qi mentioned the word "princess", tears fell from Yun Qian's eyes, but she had already made up her mind... Xia Li wanted to go forward and hug her, but Yun Qian stepped back when he was about to hug her.

"If you don't find it disgusting, then I do..." Yun Qian thought to herself, but her face showed shock and extreme sadness.

"Since you say you don't remember, then just pretend it never happened." Yun Qian said to him with tears in her eyes, seemingly determined. Then she turned and tried to leave.

Wen Qi was at a loss when he saw what was happening. If he couldn't get her forgiveness, then what was the point of doing all this? He stepped forward and grabbed Yun Qian's arm, begging her not to leave and to listen to his explanation.

Yun Qian wanted to laugh in his heart. With such little experience, he dared to come out and cheat people.

She stopped walking while wiping her tears, which meant that she stayed to listen to him talk about his "hardships".

"At that time, I was on the battlefield, ambushed and my head hit a boulder... Everyone thought I was dead and put me in a corner of the back mountains. When I woke up, I had no memory at all, and my appearance had changed drastically... I didn't know my name, I just knew I was fighting because I was wearing armor... Later, I was taken in by a farming family, and I realized I was on the border of the former Xia Kingdom, but at that time I had no idea where that was. Later, the family told me I was from Qin. So, I immediately went to join... the Qin army."

As Wen Qi spoke, he observed Yun Qian's expression. Seeing her anxious and painful expression, he finally felt relieved, thinking that his story was flawless...

What a fool! He thinks everyone is as foolish as he is, and he even wants to throw some dirty water on the Qin people so that I can share your hatred for the enemy. How shameless! Yun Qian cursed the man in front of her coldly in her heart.

"Later, because of my bravery in the team, I was promoted by Qi Huan. I was promoted step by step. I didn't realize that I was treating the enemy as my father and attacking the people of Xia Kingdom." When Wen Qi said this, his expression was extremely sad.

It was as if all the suffering in the world had converged on him alone. As Yun Qian listened, his heart grew colder and colder.

This guy is really hopeless... Could you please find someone with better acting skills next time? She is almost fed up with pretending with him. If he were not useful, Yun Qian really wants to turn against this sanctimonious hypocrite.

"Princess, I am sincere to you. You are the first person I thought of after I regained my memory. My fiancée, I watched helplessly as you became Qi Huan's woman, but I was powerless to do anything. You can blame me, it's all my fault that I am incompetent and can't stop this..."

--------

Yun Qian was numb from hearing this. She swore this was the most disgusting scene she had ever played since she started this mission. However, after hearing Wen Qi's words, she looked very sad and tearful, as if she had encountered something very heartbreaking.

"You... I... How could such absurd things exist in this world?" "How could there be such an idiot as you in this world, and yet she still had to continue to play along with him...

But it won’t be long before I can send you to meet the people who died in the battle of Xia Country. Yun Qian smiled faintly in his heart and finally found some fun in it.

As expected, before she could say anything, Xia Li said with a sad face that he "was guilty of this crime and had no face to face the dead souls of Xia country."

Yun Qian sneered in her heart, you go ahead, no one can drag a man who is determined to die on Friday to Saturday... If he is really loyal to Xia Guo, there is no need for him to pretend with her here.

She suppressed her nausea and tried to persuade him not to do it, saying, "The dead are gone, the living are like this. Although you have done something extremely disastrous, you have survived after all, so you must take good care of your life."

As expected, this person was waiting for her to say this. He had already automatically assumed that she was forced by Qi Huan, and immediately said that he would take her away and leave Qi Huan.

Yun Qian just shook his head slightly and said.

"Wen Qi, I have my own plans for this matter, but I need your help." With a sad look in her eyes, she stared intently at the once most valiant general of the Xia Kingdom... She knew he would agree.

As expected, Wen Qi looked into Yun Qian's eyes and said that he would definitely help her and told her not to worry.

After receiving his verbal promise, Yun Qian acted grateful, as if he had finally breathed a sigh of relief and a huge stone had been lifted from his heart.

No matter what, they have the same goal at this stage, so it is worth it for her to pretend to be friendly with him for the time being. After all, it is impossible for her to make this matter perfect by herself.

However, who said that Yun Qian couldn't cross the river and then destroy the bridge?

Wen Qi, your parents are old and cannot bear any stimulation, but I will definitely chop off your head one by one to commemorate the dead souls of Xia Guo. Maybe there are still many people who were killed by you, and you can't escape.
