The reason why Ying Er asked this was because when General Qin handed the letter to Xie Xun just now, he clearly saw the envelope of the letter.
There was special letter paper and envelopes at the border. He recognized at a glance that the letter was not the one commonly used by princes. It should be one that the princess had not yet sent.
Then the prince must cherish this letter very much, because it is very likely that even the prince himself does not know what is written in the letter.
Let me ask you, if your loved one has died and you have received your lover’s relics, which contains a letter whose contents you don’t know, who can resist such a temptation?
However, Xie Xun took the letter into his arms, shook his head and said, "No, I don't want to read it now."
He doesn't want to look at it now, and he doesn't dare to look at it.
He was afraid of seeing how sincere Qin Rushuang was to him.
And he always felt that he should wait until he was about to leave this world before reading this. In this case, he might be able to leave this world without Qin Rushuang with a little comfort.
Xie Xun returned to Prince Huai's Mansion.
Because he was leaving for the border the next day, the house was naturally in a rush to pack his bags.
Since the successive defeats at Border Pass some time ago, Emperor Qi had long planned to send Xie Xun to Border Pass, so his troops and horses had been prepared early.
In addition to the original border guards at the border, Xie Xun also had to take away tens of thousands of horses from Kyoto this time.
After counting the things he was about to bring, Xie Xun did not return to his bedroom in the main courtyard.
It should be said that he has never been back there since Qin Rushuang left. He dare not and is not worthy.
Now that he was about to leave Prince Huai's Mansion, he couldn't tell what kind of mood he was feeling, whether he felt more reluctant to give up or more relieved.
He sat alone in the study and sat quietly until dawn.
Guessing that it was almost time, there was a knock on the door from the old butler, "Your Majesty, after breakfast it's time to set off."
"There's no need for breakfast. Let's go directly."
Everything was going on in an orderly manner, and the atmosphere was heavy and depressing. After all, no one knew what the fate of the border crossing would be on this trip.
The war horse that Xie Xun was riding had been with him for many years. When it saw its owner coming, the war horse snorted and shook the brown hair on its neck.
Xie Xun got on his horse.
He wanted to rush from the palace to the Imperial City Army's station and head to the border with reinforcements.
"Wait a minute! Your Majesty, wait!"
Xie Xun was about to leave when a voice came from behind him. He turned around and saw that it was the woman in red from yesterday.
Today she was still wearing a red dress and riding a maroon horse.
The horse galloped to a halt at the gate of Prince Huai's Mansion.
Xie Xun frowned: "It is strictly forbidden to gallop on the streets of Kyoto."
The girl glanced at him and whispered: "Brother is right, you have a really weird temper."
He dared to say that he had a weird temper in front of Xie Xun, so he must not be an ordinary person. Sure enough, the girl then revealed her identity.
"My brother is Yang Jingxian, the right prime minister."
Xie Xun glanced at her lightly and said, "What's wrong with Miss Yang?"
"I want to ask you something. Can you ask the servants to step back first?"
Xie Xun frowned: "I am rushing to the military camp. If you have anything to say, tell me directly."
The girl curled her lips: "Okay, that's what you asked me to say. I heard that Princess Huai is dead. Have you ever thought about marrying a second wife?"
Xie Xun's face darkened immediately, and he said to Ying Er: "See you off."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
"Alas! Don't leave in a hurry! I don't like you, I just don't want to marry anyone as my brother says! I heard others said that after the death of Princess Huai, Prince Huai was heartbroken. Marry me! Don't you?
If you marry me, you will be forced to renew your relationship in the future. We will not interfere with each other. I just want to silence my brother..."
Xie Xun couldn't bear it anymore and said to the girl: "I have only one wife in this life, and that is Qin Rushuang. After Qin Rushuang dies, I will never have another wife!"
Being refuted in person, the girl's face turned red, and she said angrily: "I've heard a few things about Prince Huai's Mansion. You didn't know how to cherish people when they were alive, so why are you pretending to be sentimental now that they're dead?"
Holy? Between the two girls of the Qin family, who do you think you are worthy of?"
This is a clear accusation!
When the surrounding servants heard the girl's bold words, they were so frightened that they quickly lowered their heads, not daring to look at Xie Xun's face.
Even Ying Er was secretly sweating, this woman just couldn't help but pick up any pot!
However, Xie Xun was not as angry as everyone imagined. He looked at the girl calmly.
"You are right, but I have already been punished."
After saying that, he turned his horse's head and left.
The girl in red looked at Xie Xun's unrepentant back, pulled out her whip irritably, and shouted at Xie Xun's back: "He ran pretty fast! Can he run faster than the fifteenth day of the first grade of junior high school? Wait.
When you come back from the border, I will ask my brother to come to the palace to propose marriage to you!"
Ying Er was almost frightened by this bold girl.
How can a girl go to a man's house to propose marriage? This is to make his prince lose his security in the evening!
He didn't care about catching up with Xie Xun and walked over to persuade the girl.
"Miss Yang's reputation is important! You'd better please come back. The prince is going to the border. I don't know when he will come back. Maybe you will have found a lover by the time he comes back!"
The girl waved the whip in her hand, and there was a crackle in the air. The girl also turned the horse's head: "Then wait until he comes back!"
After that, he finally rode away.
Ying Er breathed a sigh of relief.
I thought to myself, what the hell is this! This girl is so brave that she dares to bring up the matter of resuming the relationship in front of the prince. If the prince hadn't rushed to the border in a hurry, the girl would definitely not be able to eat and walk around today.
Ying Er shook his head and chased Xie Xun.
…
At this time, Xie Xun's "dead wife" was receiving teachings from Taoist Lianqing in Xiaozhulou.
When Qin Rushuang left that day, Taoist Lianqing gave her several ancient books, all related to the art of war.
When leaving, Taoist Lianqing did not ask for anything but asked her to familiarize herself with these ancient books.
Qin Rushuang also did so.
When Qin Rushuang arrived today, Taoist Lianqing asked Qin Rushuang to hand over the ancient books. He put the ancient books aside and took out a few pieces of rice paper and a brush full of ink.
Then he said to Qin Rushuang: "Write it down. Write down the contents of these ancient books silently."
Mu Duo on the side frowned: "Master, you didn't ask Axia to memorize these ancient books that day, and the time was too short, right? There are so many books, how can he memorize them!"
Taoist Lian Qing glared at him, "Just because you can't do it doesn't mean others can't do it! If she can't even do this, then she's not worthy of being my disciple!"
After speaking, he looked at Qin Rushuang: "How is it? Can you do it? Or do you think I'm forcing others to do something difficult?"
Qin Rushuang shook her head with a smile and said, "My disciple doesn't feel embarrassed at all. I wonder if Master has a time limit for me?"
Mu Duo looked on in shock.
It’s already difficult to memorize those books, but what about the time limit?!
But after listening to Qin Rushuang's words, Taoist Lianqing smiled and nodded, "You can teach me! Let's do this. I won't embarrass you as a teacher. I'll write it all down silently for two hours. Is there any problem?"
Qin Rushuang nodded, "That's not true. It's just that the handwriting may be a bit more sloppy."
