Reborn Young Lady's Peerless Grace

Chapter 145 Don’t give up

Originally, he wanted to use the Zi Luo Kingdom's envoys to rescue His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and bring him back to the palace to conspire for a great cause, but it was obvious that with Du Zhijie around, it would not work.

Oh, I will never be able to enjoy your wealth and glory. Are you trying to save your life or are you saying that the lives of everyone in your Jiang family are worthless?

"Winners and losers are normal on the battlefield. Lord Xuanyuan is blessed by fate. It's just a minor injury. There's no need to worry about it, Master Jiang." Shen Wanqing's face remained indifferent, but her tone was tinged with contempt: "Master Jiang is taking advantage of us by kicking us when we're down. It seems like he's hoping for Zi Luo Country to win. I wonder what his intentions are!"

Jiang Ce gnashed his teeth and said, "Shen Wanqing, don't regret it!"

Shen Wanqing simply closed the car window and said to the outside, "Go to the General's Mansion."

"Don't think General Du will really want you just because you're so eager!" Jiang Ce shouted from behind the car, "You'll regret it. I'll wait until you come begging me!"

Jing'er's brows were so furrowed that they could almost kill a fly: "Miss, where on earth does Mr. Jiang get the confidence to say such things?"

Shen Wanqing lowered her eyes and sneered in her heart. She probably thought that since he had his father's help, I should naturally listen to him.

But at this moment she was more worried about Du Zhijie's situation. He would never disappear so suddenly in the past.

When they arrived at the general's mansion, the old housekeeper was delighted to see her, but then he hesitated and couldn't tell where Du Zhijie was.

Now, Shen Wanqing could sense that something was wrong and could only ask, "But is the general busy with something important and can't disclose it?" The old butler sighed and decided to tell the truth.

"Wanqing."

Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded from under the eaves in the distance, but it was a little weak.

Shen Wanqing looked up, and the next second, she was embraced in his arms. Feeling the wetness, she tried to raise her head, and then she found that Du Zhijie seemed to have just washed, and water was still dripping from the ends of his hair.

"General, you're awake!" the old butler said happily. The next second, he quickly dispersed the guards around him and hid outside to laugh secretly.

Jing'er covered her eyes with her hands, peeked through her fingers, and was also pulled down.

Shen Wanqing's heart trembled slightly: "Zhijie, you have recovered, right?"

Ever since Princess Suyun was brought back to Ziluo Country, she had a vague suspicion that Du Zhijie might have obtained the antidote. Therefore, she had not bothered him during this period.

When she suddenly heard the voice of Wanqing, she suddenly realized that he truly loved her, and her heart felt so peaceful.

Du Zhijie smiled and tidied up the loose hair on her cheek. His voice was low and hoarse with a hint of guilt: "I'm sorry, Wanqing, but I never went near Princess Suyun."

"I know." Shen Wanqing blinked, her eyes full of trust.

The two of them didn't need to say much. They didn't seem to need any vows of love. They just needed to understand each other's firm intentions.

"Don't worry about Lord Xuanyuan's affairs," Du Zhijie said. "I need to go to the border soon. Please return home and wait for me in the next two days. Before I leave, I have something I want to give you."

Shen Wanqing took a deep breath. She didn't expect that Du Zhijie was about to leave again just after the poison was cured.

But she just nodded slightly and didn't say much.

Du Zhijie frowned when he learned that it was Jiang Ce who tricked her out today. That night, Jiang Ce was attacked by someone unknown and had a broken leg, so he could only lie in bed to recuperate.

"Wanqing, don't worry. When I come back, these people won't have any chance to struggle anymore." The next day, Du Zhijie handed her a box and comforted her softly, "I'll be back as soon as possible."

"Are you leaving today?" Shen Wanqing was a little surprised. Didn't they say yesterday that they would leave in a few days?

Du Zhijie nodded helplessly, looking somewhat reluctant.

Shen Wanqing pursed her lips and opened the box with some curiosity. Inside was an imperial edict.

Du Zhijie gently closed the box and warned, "Put it away and don't take it out easily. I won't be able to protect you in time when I'm away, but if anything happens, send someone to the General's Mansion. Wanqing, you have to take care of yourself."

He had already told the housekeeper that if there were anyone like Jiang Ce who was persistent and even resorted to despicable tactics, they would be killed if necessary! The people in the General's Mansion would help her clean up the mess.

Shen Wanqing carefully held the box in her arms. Du Zhijie smiled slightly, got on his horse, looked at her lovingly again, and then left.

She looked at the direction where Du Zhijie was leaving with a bit of disappointment, not knowing when they would see each other again.

"Miss, let's go." Jing'er stepped forward and said softly.

Shen Wanqing sighed unconsciously and returned to the Hou Mansion. Not long after, she heard that the Second Prince had issued an order to send Du Zhijie and Xiao Chenyang to lead troops to support the border.

She was not surprised by this. With the antidote, Xiao Chenyang should have recovered.

It seems that the situation at the border is certainly not optimistic. However, in order to avoid panic and leakage of military intelligence, the real situation is probably only known to the second prince and several powerful ministers.

"Miss, is Lord Xuanyuan seriously injured?" Jing'er and Linglong were both very worried.

Shen Wanqing shook her head gently: "No, let's go to the Xuanyuan Palace tomorrow. I want to see Qiao'er."

Since Du Zhijie told her not to worry about Lord Xuanyuan's affairs, he must have a plan to deal with it.

Moreover, the master also went to the border with Du Zhijie. With him around, she felt a lot more at ease.

The next day, Shen Wanqing arrived at the Xuanyuan Palace. Xiao Chenyang had been ill before, and he had been almost inseparable from Xuanyuan Qiao'er. Since they were so close, it was difficult for her to come over so often.

Now that Xiao Chenyang and Du Zhijie are gone, it would be a lie to say they are not worried, but the two sisters tacitly did not mention it. Instead, they suddenly had the idea of ​​eating hot pot together and talking about the happy things that happened to them recently. The happy laughter brought some warmth to the cold house.

"Fourth sister, you've lost a lot of weight recently. Your face has become smaller. Eat more."

Xuanyuan Qiaoer said this and put a few slices of beef into Shen Wanqing's bowl.

Shen Wanqing ate while laughing and joking: "I heard that Xiao Chenyang buys you all kinds of delicious food every day. Look at your face, it has become a lot rounder. It seems that what he said is true."

"You are so good, Shen Wanqing, you dare to tease me." Xuanyuan Qiaoer glared at her, but her face turned red.

Ever since she was poisoned, Xiao Chenyang took care of her meticulously. Even after the poison was cured, he got used to treating her better and often said, "Qiao'er, you are my antidote." This always made her laugh.

I don’t know how he is doing at the border, whether he is used to it. He was originally a scholar, but I never thought that after this incident, he would pick up a gun and go to the battlefield.

Shen Wanqing and Xuanyuan Qiaoer both thought of the same thing. They were silent for a moment, then changed the subject with a smile.
