Chapter Thirty-Two(1/2)
Wu Chi's eyes were filled with tears and he was sobbing slightly, "The fourth prince said that when he was chasing me that day, rocks kept hitting his legs to stop him."
Seeing Yin Qu's gentle nod, Wu Chi took a long breath, raised his hand to wipe away the tears still hanging in the corners of his eyes and the still moist tear stains on his face. He narrowed his eyes into a crescent shape and smiled lightly.
"General Yin, I will always support you."
Yin Qu's eyes trembled fiercely. The girl in front of him still had tear stains on her white and tender cheeks that shone like the Milky Way. The corners of her eyes were still moist, like pearls hanging on them. Her smile was beautiful in the moonlight, softer and more dazzling than the moon. She said
I will always support myself.
Yin Qu was holding back, holding back from hugging the dazzling girl in front of him.
"Maybe you can also tell me and I will help you. You don't have to bear so much silently alone. It's too tiring."
Wu Chi looked at Yin Qu tenderly, with a little more heartache in his eyes. Wu Chi didn't know what Yin Qu had been doing. Wu Chi only knew that Yin Qu was dedicated to serving the country and had always been sincerely loyal to him.
Chihua and Empress Lianbi once told Wu Chi that Chihua may appear to be strong but in fact the cities are not in harmony with each other. When Liucheng was hit by the disaster, the surrounding cities that were close to each other found reasons to avoid rescue, so the imperial court had no choice but to send troops there.
It has always been Yin Qu who has been rescuing Chihua. Yin Qu not only has to deal with the harassment of Chihua by other countries, but also fights against the powerful queen in the palace. Even Wu Chi feels that he is unable to cope with it. Yin Qu is so tired.
.
At this moment, Wu Chi seemed to have removed Yin Qu's cold and hard shell, and then gently embraced the truest and weakest Yin Qu.
Needless to say, Yin Qu seems to have begun to rely on Wu Chi.

Wu Chi didn't know when was the right time to go find Xiao Heng. Xiao Heng would always be sad and depressed for a long time when encountering these things as a child.
Wu Chi was in a daze and scooped the Xuerong wine from the big jar into a small delicate bottle bit by bit. Some of it leaked out of the bottle mouth and flowed along the bottle body to the table.
Sang Luo noticed that his heart ached, "Why are you in such a daze?"
Wu Chi came back to his senses and looked at Sang Luo feeling a little reluctant.
"Are you really going back to Sansheng Tavern tomorrow?"
Sang Luo smiled, took the last bottle of wine from Wu Chi, and then divided the bottles and said
"If I don't go back, my Sansheng Tavern will almost lose all its customers."
Several people looked at the neatly arranged wine on the table with satisfaction, and felt a strong sense of satisfaction in their hearts.
"It's been brewing from winter to summer, and it's finally ready."
Summer? It’s the season when peaches are ripe. I almost forgot about this. I still owe He Lingjun a basket of peaches.
Sang Luo's eyes were shining with stars as he gestured towards the drink.
"These three bottles are for Concubine Yun, those three bottles are for Concubine Yun, and these three bottles are... Commander Su." Sang Luo rolled his eyes at Wu Chi who was snickering, and continued, "The three bottles here are for General Yin, in order to thank him.
I have given it to you for taking care of you, a rogue, for so long."
Wu Chi shrank back and was so shocked that he wanted to say something, but Sang Luo immediately interrupted.
"These three bottles are for Xiao Heng. You should also send them and have a good talk with Xiao Heng."
Sang Luo looked at Wu Chi meaningfully, and Wu Chi pursed his lips and nodded obediently.
"Last time you said that Aunt Liu only drinks occasionally, so I only left two bottles for Aunt Liu... Aunt Qian's legs are not suitable for drinking, and then, these two bottles are for you."
Wu Chi widened his eyes and looked at his two small bottles.
"Why do I only have two bottles? I thought that one was mine!"
Wu Chi pointed to the big clay pot on the ground in disbelief, and Sang Luo looked at Wu Chi helplessly.
"That big jar is from Sansheng Tavern. You have a cold, and Xuerong wine is cold in nature. You shouldn't drink too much. It's good to leave two bottles for you."
Sang Luo made a gesture of silence and said with a calm face, "No need to discuss."
Wu Chiyou gritted his teeth in resentment, picked up two bottles of Xuerong wine, and spoke in an unhappy tone.
"The Palace Lady's Garden and the Imperial Guard's Garden are quite far away, so let's send them to them first. I'll go to Aunt Liu, and you, go to Commander Su."
Wu Chi's voice became melodious when he deliberately talked about Commander Su, and Sang Luo suddenly blushed with embarrassment.
"Liu Catkin, let's go."
Naturally LiuXu took the wine from Wu Chi's hand and walked quickly with Wu Chi.

In the Imperial Garden
Ming Zhuxuan was so depressed that he looked at the bright red flowers blooming on the green leaves and remembered what Mingyao had just said to him - the person in Yin Qu's heart was Princess Anping.
It turned out to be that little palace maid. She felt something was wrong when she first met her in the general's mansion. The way Yin Qu looked at Wu Chi was so different. Yin Qu cherished her, but he, the general's wife, had never received it.
Yes, no matter how much he throws himself into the arms of the general's mansion, he still can't get a trace of tenderness from Yin Qu. He is the princess!
Ming Zhuxuan lowered his eyes and became increasingly angry. The flower became more and more dazzling. Ming Zhuxuan angrily tore it off, threw it into the soil and crushed it with his feet.
Suddenly he heard crisp laughter coming from the front. Ming Zhuxuan took a closer look and saw that Wu Chi and Liu Xu were smiling brightly.
I was frowning because of Yin Qu, but she was smiling so happily!
Ming Zhuxuan turned to the accompanying palace maids with a cold face and said, "Go and invite the Queen and my sister to the Royal Garden."
Wu Chi also noticed that Ming Zhuxuan was standing by the flowers with an unkind look on his face. He immediately stopped laughing and looked at Ming Zhuxuan with the same cold face and disdain. When he saw Ming Zhuxuan's accompanying maid walking away, he frowned slightly.
He turned around and took the wine and said to Liuxu, "I'll deliver the wine. You go and invite Concubine Yun and Concubine Yun to come to the Imperial Garden and enjoy the flowers."
When Liu Xu saw it, she felt that the atmosphere was really not good, so she didn't waste any time and immediately turned around and trotted away.
Ming Zhuxuan walked up to Wu Chi with an air of dignity, and bowed reluctantly.
"Princess Anping."
Wu Chi didn't look good either, so he even saluted casually.
"Princess Ming."
Ming Zhuxuan looked at Wu Chi coldly and arrogantly, and said in a strange tone
"Princess Anping suddenly changed from a palace maid to a princess. She must still have a lot of discomfort. After all, a pheasant turned into a phoenix."
Wu Chi raised his eyebrows and sneered.
"Princess Ming is really amazing, she makes people annoying whenever she speaks."
Ming Zhuxuan held her breath, her eyes turned to the wine in Wu Chi's hand, and she smiled faintly.
"Speaking of which, the general will be running out of wine in the near future, and he told me to remember to go to the restaurant to get a drink."
Wu Chi found it very funny when he heard it and looked at Ming Zhuxuan in disbelief.
"Princess Ming seems to have a lot of problems with being in the General's Mansion. The wine General Yin drinks on weekdays is all made by Liu Zhangshao, and he has never been to a restaurant for drinks."
Ming Zhuxuan was choked all of a sudden. He usually focused on Yin Qu and never paid attention to the trivial matters in the house.
Ming Zhuxuan blushed, became a little angry, and spoke aggressively
"Wu Chi, don't be proud, I am the one who married General Yin, and I am the general's wife!"
Wu Chi looked at Ming Zhuxuan indifferently, moved closer, and spoke in a polite tone.
"Ming Zhuxuan, are you happy like this?"
Ming Zhuxuan was stunned on the spot, his body shaking with anger, but suddenly he heard a voice like a savior.
"Isn't this Princess Anping?"
It's Queen Yan's voice, gentle but not kind
Empress Yan and Concubine Ming were walking towards her. Ming Zhuxuan suddenly became more confident and looked at Wu Chi with pride again.
Wu Chi wasn't afraid at all, he just saluted calmly
Mingyao pretended to be considerate of Wu Chi and said in a soft voice, "It seems that Princess Anping still has a lot of etiquette that she has not learned. The younger generation should kneel down and bow down to the elders, not the ordinary ones."
Ming Zhuxuan looked forward to watching the show with a smile in her eyes
Wu Chi sneered and said, "When a junior gives a big gift to an elder, the elder must be worthy. Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine, and Concubine Yun are worthy, but the Queen Concubine and Concubine Ming are not worthy."
Wu Chi looked at Empress Yan and Concubine Ming with a smile on her lips and shook her head slightly.
Queen Yan was stimulated in her heart, and the corner of her mouth twitched, "I really don't understand the rules. Today, I will teach the late Princess Chihua, someone."
The palace maid next to me was preparing to go up, when another sound came from not far away
"The Queen's face is not red when she mentions Xun'er, and her heart is not beating."
Wu Chi shook his head proudly towards Ming Zhuxuan, my savior has also arrived.
Li Sesu and Yun Zhiyan strode behind Wu Chi. Liu Xu took the wine from Wu Chi's hand and looked at Wu Chi with eyes that seemed to say: The savior has moved in.
Queen Yan looked at Yun Zhiyan coldly
"Sister Yun Fei, you were still behind me a few days ago!"
Yun Zhiyan laughed, "It's too dark behind the Queen, and Zhiyan is very scared."
Empress Yan gritted her teeth and resented it. Mingyao continued to speak, losing all her gentleness and only being arrogant and domineering.
To be continued...
