The Virgin Mary in the Book: I Decide My Life with Two Swords

Cang Yue Kingdom - Capital - Eastern Palace

As night falls, Ye Yun sits in the room expectantly, waiting for Nangong Xuan's arrival. Tonight is her wedding night.

"Miss, I just checked and there is no joy at all in the mansion. I don't know where His Highness has gone. He didn't even show up today," said the maid.

"Your Majesty's decree prohibits a grand celebration, and Your Highness... is under house arrest, so I understand." Ye Yun was dissatisfied in her heart, but she remained generous in her words.

At this moment, Eunuch Hu came in and said, "This old servant pays his respects to Concubine Ye. His Highness said that you are pregnant and need to rest well. He will not come tonight and will rest at Concubine Han's place."

"Tonight is my young lady's wedding night. Your Highness should at least come over once, right?" The maid was not convinced.

"I am just a messenger, I will take my leave." Eunuch Hu now has Han Yuer's support and does not take Ye Yun seriously at all.

Ye Yun angrily removed her red veil and said, "Han Yu'er, I knew it wasn't a good thing for that bitch to enter the mansion first. It's only the first night, and she dared to humiliate me like this."

"Miss, Concubine Han is now the one in charge of the Prince's Mansion's backyard. What should we do?"

"What else can I do? I have to endure it. Wait until I give birth to a prince, and then I'll see how arrogant Han Yu'er is." Ye Yun thought of another person at this moment: "That bitch Ye Ling, if it weren't for her, I would be the Crown Princess, and I wouldn't have to endure this. She also took away so much money, making my dowry so shabby."

"But Ye Ling is missing now, and we can't take revenge!"

"Humph! Mother has already asked my second uncle to take action. That bitch is dead."

At this moment, Nangong Xuan was not with Han Yuer, but in his own study.

Zhan Ye walked in: "Your Highness, Eunuch Hu has already gone over to tell her that Concubine Ye is not very happy, but she didn't dare to make a fuss."

"I just want to let Ye Tingxun know that geckos will break their tails, and the East Palace does not keep idle people," said Nangong Xuan.

"Ye Taibao probably would never have dreamed that his self-proud son Ye Jingyun has long been your confidant. Now that you have the Northern Army as your backing, you don't have to walk on thin ice anymore," Zhan Ye said.

"Let's wait until the Nanlai incident is settled before discussing other matters!"

"Don't worry, Your Highness, there is absolutely no risk."

"Let's go to Yu'er's yard."

"Yes"

The next day, Han Yuer gave Ye Yun a warning. Although she was also a concubine, she was in charge of the backyard, so she was naturally superior. Ye Yun found that Nangong Xuan had changed his heart, so she could only endure it and compromise.

Compared to the chaos in the capital, Ye Ling didn't have to engage in intrigue, but they also encountered bad things.

It rained all night on March 15th and it continued to rain in the morning. The four people were trapped in a cave. The spring rain was cold. Fortunately, Jiuyou and Xuejingchuan found a lot of wood and lit a bonfire at the entrance of the cave, so the four people had a chance to keep warm.

Ye Ling pretended to go to the other side of the cave with Qian Qing to relieve herself, and quickly took out ten steamed buns and two braised chickens bought in Shunyang County from the space.

Returning to the entrance of the fire pit, Xue Jingchuan was a little puzzled: "Where did the steamed buns and chicken come from?"

"We bought it in Shunyang County and hung it on the horse's back. Here, take it out and let's eat it together," Ye Ling said casually.

Xue Jingchuan had no doubt at all, picked up a steamed bun and started eating: "Delicious"

"When people are hungry, everything tastes delicious," Ye Ling said as he got himself a chicken leg.

"Ye Ling, since you have nothing to do, why not talk about your master? Who is he?" Xue Jingchuan has asked this question several times.

"Didn't I say that? Jiuyou"

"Impossible. Look, we're all friends now, so we have to be honest with each other, right?"

"Be honest, that's a good word. Do you dare to say that you have been honest with me?"

Xue Jingchuan was speechless and didn't know what to say for a long time.

Ye Ling smiled and said, "See? Even the best of friends have secrets they can't tell each other. What do you think?"

Xue Jingchuan also smiled: "You are right, everyone has secrets, then let's talk about something else."

"What do you want to say?"

"Tell me about your father, General Ye and his personal cavalry."

"Everyone is dead, what's there to say?"

"They are gone, but their deeds will never be erased. General Ye is a man who has never lost a single battle. Even the weakest of his cavalry can defeat ten of them at once."

"So what? They're all dead anyway."

"Yes, the only time General Ye was defeated in his life was his last battle. He fought 30,000 troops against 150,000 and killed more than 80,000 of the enemy. But then his entire army was wiped out, and no one was left alive." Xue Jingchuan said this while staring at Ye Ling, wanting to see her reaction.

Ye Ling smiled. "30,000 against 150,000. Knowing it's impossible, yet still going to fight? Is this what a battle-hardened general would do? Isn't this clearly sending 30,000 men to their deaths? Isn't he a general guarding the border? Does he only have 30,000 personal soldiers? Are all the border troops dead?"

"Miss," Jiuyou said in a low voice. He didn't want Ye Ling to say anything bad about Ye Tingzhan.

"Am I wrong?" Ye Ling asked back.

"You're absolutely right," Xue Jingchuan said. "Ye Ling, even you know this is a dead end. Tell me, what motivated General Ye to act this way? He commanded 200,000 border troops at the time, so why did he only bring his personal soldiers into battle? All 30,000 Ye family cavalrymen were killed, while the 200,000 border troops remained unscathed."

As soon as these words were spoken, Jiuyou's expression was obviously wrong, and there was a hint of hostility when he looked at Xue Jingchuan.

Ye Ling looked at Xue Jingchuan for a long moment and then said, "You want to click on me again?"

Xue Jingchuan smiled: "What are you thinking about? I was just saying it casually. Anyone in the martial arts world knows these things. Don't think too much about it."

"Whose border troops does my father command now?"

"The border troops certainly belong to the emperor."

"Don't interrupt me, you know what I mean"

Xue Jingchuan paused briefly before speaking, "Back then, His Majesty, in gratitude for General Ye's loyalty and bravery, handed the Northern Army over to the Ye family. The current marshal is Ye Jingyun."

Ye Ling suddenly realized something and thought to herself: Mengmeng, this plotline should be the main storyline, but why isn't it mentioned in the book? Is it mentioned? Yes, I remember. In Chapter 56, Nangong Chen said in the hall...that Ye Tingzhan's death was caused by someone else. The emperor was furious and reprimanded Nangong Chen, but what happened next? Given Nangong Chen's personality, he wouldn't give up the investigation. Why is there no more after that? All that's left is your former master's virtuous family feud? Why?

"Master, Mengmeng doesn't know anything. Mengmeng only knows the story line about the previous master. No one else knows." Mengmeng was also helpless and felt that she could not help her master.

Ye Ling was still struggling with her thoughts: If Ye Tingzhan's death was the main plot line, then Nangong Chen must be an important character. Why was he barely a supporting role in the book? What had I missed? Or perhaps the book had been edited, so I didn't know, like when Grandpa proposed to Nangong Chen.

"That's possible! But... Mengmeng has always been with her previous master, so she knows almost nothing about King Beichen!"

Ye Ling had a premonition that something bad was going to happen. If she wanted to survive to the end, she had to completely change the original story line, otherwise after going around in circles, she would return to the starting point, just like Ye Yun. She still married Nangong Xuan, which shows that many things are still irreversible.

"Miss? Miss?" Qian Qing called out twice.

Ye Ling suddenly felt a headache. This was a strange phenomenon. She found that recently, whenever she thought about the stories in the book, she would get a headache involuntarily.

"Ye Ling, are you okay?" Xue Jingchuan was nervous. He thought his words made Ye Ling uncomfortable.

"Miss?" Jiuyou knelt on one knee in front of Ye Ling, gently holding her arm. "Miss, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

"Master, don't think about it. The longer you stay in the book, the more the system will delete your memory. You won't be able to bear it if you do it the other way around," Mengmeng reminded.

Ye Ling was speechless. "Why didn't you tell me about this earlier? Erasing my memory? Doesn't that mean I won't remember anything about the book at the end?" No, I need to write the rest of the story quickly and save it for later use...hiss...

"Ye Ling, what's wrong with you?" Xue Jingchuan also came forward to check: "Does your head feel uncomfortable?"

Ye Ling quickly retracted his thoughts, not daring to think anymore: "I... I have a severe headache, I..."

"There's hay over there." Xue Jingchuan immediately stood up, took off his cloak, and spread it on the hay: "Come here and lie down for a while."

Ye Ling lay down and closed his eyes to rest because he had a really severe headache.

Qian Qing took out one of Ye Ling's cloaks from the package and covered her with it.

After a while, Ye Ling's breathing became steady and she was obviously asleep.

Xue Jingchuan then asked in a low voice: "Has your young lady ever experienced this before?"

"She didn't have that before, but she's had headaches frequently in the last five or six days," Qian Qing said.

"Why didn't you say it?" Jiuyou was very angry.

"The lady doesn't allow me to speak," Qian Qing felt aggrieved.

"It may be... due to the bumpy road. She is sick. Jiuyou, you should get a carriage. Although your young lady knows martial arts, she is a girl after all. Sometimes it is not convenient for her to ride a horse. Besides, riding a horse is too tiring and her body cannot bear it," said Xue Jingchuan.

"How far is the next town?" Jiuyou asked.

"Town..." Xue Jingchuan thought for a moment, "It's half a day's journey. There's a small town there. I can buy a carriage and find a doctor to see her."

"Okay," Jiuyou responded.

For a moment, the cave was quiet. Qian Qing was guarding Ye Ling, Jiu You was sitting at the entrance of the cave on guard, Xue Jingchuan baked all the steamed buns, distributed them to the other two, and left two for Ye Ling.

After about an hour, the rain stopped and Ye Ling woke up. Her headache was gone and she felt fine again. But no matter how she explained that she was not sick, the three people present did not believe her and decided to take her to see a doctor.

Helplessly, Ye Ling could only obey temporarily and agree to a few people. Then, when the rain stopped, he rode as fast as he could to the nearest town to spend the night.

Because of the heavy rain, everything felt wet. No one wanted to spend the night in a cave, and there was no guarantee you would find one. So, the four of them rode as fast as they could. No matter what, they had to reach the Utto Town that Xueying mentioned before dark.
