Shadow Er disappeared in the darkness and appeared.
Since Xie Xun returned to the border, Ying Er has been following Xie Xun.
"Come here, I have something to ask you to do."
Xie Xun whispered a few instructions, and Ying Er's eyes suddenly opened wide.
"Is this...really going to be like this? You used to..."
"Just do it."
After finishing speaking, he wrote a letter. After pausing several times, he finished the letter.
Ying Er picked up the letter and said, "I'll do it now."
Ying Er was about to leave, but as he was leaving, he turned around and couldn't help but persuade: "My lord, now that the princess has come back, it's an ending that I didn't even dare to expect before. You... don't be too demanding... no matter what
Is it for the princess or yourself..."
Xie Xun said nothing and turned his back.
Ying Er thought he had listened to his words, looked at Xie Xun's silent back, used Qing Kung Fu and left.
But there is no look of relief on Xie Xun’s face behind him?
Everyone told him not to force it, but how could they understand his pain!
After learning that Qin Rushuang was buried in the sea of fire, Xie Xun's regret reached a peak. Even on that day, he felt that he had almost died. When he woke up again, his hair turned gray overnight.
There is regret and hatred in his heart, which can be seen by others. Where others cannot see, these regrets are endless but slowly distorted, nourishing another emotion.
It was during the countless sleepless nights after Qin Rushuang's death that regret fermented under the moonlight, eventually giving Xie Xun endless delusions.
He knew he was wrong and regretted that he should not have listened to Qin Fanghao's slander and failed to recognize his feelings in time. He even did not choose to stand by Qin Rushuang's side when she encountered something.
He always felt that she was very strong and independent, so she could do anything; she was very proud, and she had means, so she would not be hurt.
But it was because of his self-righteousness that ultimately led to Qin Rushuang's death.
Later, with extreme regret, his thoughts went to the other extreme.
He began to wonder if he had done something wrong...?
Shouldn't he have come to the other courtyard from Qin Rushuang? Should he... lock her up and keep her where he can see her?
In this way, no matter who is right or wrong, Qin Rushuang will not die. Even if she hates herself, there is no need for heaven and earth to be separated forever. He still has a lifetime to repay...
Now that Qin Rushuang is back, this twisted thought is like a maggot attached to the bone, lingering in Xie Xun's mind.
She came back, but he wanted to take her as his own, lock her close to him, and spend the rest of his life trying to heal her hatred.
Even if she can't forgive herself, he will give her the best. He will regard her as a god and put her on a high position that only he can look up to.
Even if from now on, he can only humble himself at her feet and look up at her piously, it doesn't matter...
And those people who stand between them should...all should...
"Your Majesty!"
Just when Xie Xun's thoughts were developing in this uncontrollable direction, a voice interrupted his thoughts.
Xie Xun put away the madness and possessiveness on his face, turned around and saw that it was You Shao.
"What's up?"
"The general saw that you had just come out of the princess's tent. Didn't she tell you?"
You Shao carefully looked at Xie Xun's expression, and seeing that he showed no displeasure, he continued, "In the evening, the princess communicated with several of our lieutenants that she will lead a part of the border guards out of the city tomorrow."
Xie Xun was refreshed. Qin Rushuang actually decided to take the initiative. Sure enough, it was still the Qin Rushuang he knew.
"Well, it's not too late to say it now. Since my father has given full authority over the border guard army to the princess, you can just do what she says."
"My lord, don't you have anything to give me?"
"No, you should believe in her ability...forget it, you will know after the battle tomorrow."
Qin Rushuang never fights an unprepared battle, and he knows this very well.
…
Early the next morning.
It was still dark and the sun hadn't even risen yet.
According to Qin Rushuang's instructions yesterday, the major lieutenants counted their most elite troops, and at this time they had gathered together quietly.
You Shao stretched out his hand and poked Nie Lei next to him: "Hey, what do you think the princess is planning? It's our first time to take the initiative, can we only bring a few people with us? Although they are all elites, aren't there too few people?
?And according to the princess’s wishes, isn’t it a bit risky to go deep into the enemy’s garrison?”
Nie Lei looked confident, "I trust the princess's judgment."
You Shao asked for trouble, took another look at the sky, and said: "It's so early, I don't know if the princess is up, or when we will set off..."
But when the two of them reached the gathering place, Qin Rushuang was already waiting for them in front.
Seeing the troops and horses arriving, Qin Rushuang, dressed in black armor and a gold mask, rode in front, preparing to lead the troops out of the city.
"etc."
Qin Rushuang turned the horse's head, but Xie Xun came over dragging the sick body with the support of his own soldiers.
Xie Xun was wearing thin clothes and walked very slowly with the support of his own soldiers. When he got closer, he realized that the horse Qin Rushuang was riding today was very tall, and he was standing under the horse, looking up at her in high spirits.
.
Muduo also wore armor as a protector, standing side by side with her.
Xie Xun stared at Qin Rushuang in armor, as if he saw his former self through Qin Rushuang.
Did Qin Rushuang stand under the horse and look up at him like this before? Did she ever look at Qin Rushuang condescendingly like this?
It seems so. He is always used to giving orders and focusing on his own thoughts, ignoring the woman who has been quietly managing the palace for him behind his back.
He never seemed to put her on the same level and talk to her on an equal footing.
It was only at this moment, when he stood under the horse and looked at Qin Rushuang who was condescending, that he felt the status gap and oppression.
He never seemed to give her equal affection.
"Do you have anything to give me, Your Majesty?"
Xie Xun shook his head: "No, I... just came to see you, by the way..."
"The king is waiting for your triumphant return in the city."
"Since the prince has not given any instructions, it is better to go back and rest early."
After Qin Rushuang finished speaking, she turned her horse's head and shouted loudly: "Open the door! Get out of the city!"
The border guards behind him moved in unison and followed Qin Rushuang at the same pace.
Qin Rushuang's back was straight, showing no sign of timidity just because she was a woman.
On the contrary, it seemed that this outfit was her original appearance, and that being in a high position and giving orders was what she was supposed to do.
She seems to be born with a convincing ability, and she seems to be born with the ability to occupy a high position and control her subordinates calmly.
Xie Xun stared blankly at Qin Rushuang's back. He didn't look back until all the soldiers and horses left and the city gate slammed shut.
Ying Er silently followed Xie Xun.
Seeing Ying Er come out, the soldiers retreated silently without saying a word.
"My lord, please go back. It's time to change your dressing."
Xie Xun glanced at the gauze on his arm indifferently and said, "I won't change it."
