For Ye Chunnan, he had truly experienced the pain of losing his sister. His hatred for Lu Lingzhi was no less than Mo Rongzhan's. Now that he knew that he was in Anhe City, how could he not go there in person?
Ye Zhen knew what her brother was thinking, so she remained silent. She knew that whether it was her brother or her father, if they saw Lu Lingzhi, they would probably do the same thing.
Mo Rongzhan did not speak, just nodded lightly.
At this time, Eunuch Fu brought lunch.
After lunch with Ye Chunnan, Ye Zhen saw that Mo Rongzhan seemed to have something to say. She asked Eunuch Fu to bring a pot of osmanthus wine and went back to the house. Not long after, Jin Shanshan came.
Since Jin Shanshan left the Wilderness Priest Temple and returned to the Wilderness, she had been worried about the safety of the Empress. Even when she heard that the Empress had been rescued, she could not feel at ease. Now that she saw the Empress with her own eyes, she was really relieved.
"I heard from my brother that you have found the people who used to be around General Jin?" Ye Zhen asked Jin Shanshan to sit down. She wanted to know if Jin Shanshan planned to stay in Jin or return to the Northern Darkstar Kingdom.
Jin Shanshan nodded gently, "Brother Zhu is my father's adopted son. For me, he is also my eldest brother."
"It's a good thing to be able to find your relatives." Ye Zhen said with a smile, "Shanshan, what about your eldest brother?"
"Brother Zhu was injured. The general sent him to the city to recuperate." Jin Shanshan said.
Ye Zhen looked up at her, "Then … do you already know the truth of General Jin's death?"
"Yes, I already know, but I can't really take revenge now. However, I seriously injured Wan Ziliang and killed Chu Li!" Jin Shanshan smiled faintly. She was now relieved. There was still a long way to go, and she would see Wan Ziliang again.
"Do you want to go back to the Northern Darkstar Kingdom?" Ye Zhen asked in a low voice.
Jin Shanshan's smile was a little bitter. The Northern Darkstar Kingdom was her homeland. She wanted to go back, but it was also the place where her father died tragically. Her father had assisted the emperor for so many years, but he did not care about his life at all.
Even if she returned to the Northern Darkstar Kingdom, Beitang Yu would probably not take her seriously and might even kill her.
"No." Jin Shanshan said lightly, "My father is no longer here. There is no longer a home for me in the Dark North Kingdom."
"What about my brother?" Ye Zhen asked in a low voice, looking at Jin Shanshan with gentle eyes.
At the mention of Ye Chunnan, Jin Shanshan's face reddened slightly, "Your Highness … I don't understand what you're saying."
Seeing her reaction, the smile on Ye Zhen's mouth deepened. "My brother is not young, and my father is not here, so I want to choose a girl for my brother, but … I don't know what kind of girl my brother likes."
When Jin Shanshan heard Ye Zhen's words, his face turned pale. "I … I don't know."
"My father is a very open-minded person. As long as it is a girl my brother likes, he will definitely agree." Ye Zhen said with a smile.
"Yes …" Jin Shanshan's heartbeat quickened as he listened.
When it was almost noon, Mo Rongzhan returned from outside. Jin Shanshan hurriedly got up to bid farewell and left.
Walking out of the upper room, she saw a familiar figure standing not far away.
"General." Jin Shanshan walked up and looked up at Ye Chunnan standing in the sun. This handsome man was the one who turned her from the battlefield into a captive. She hated him and wanted to kill him. However, if it weren't for him, she might not be in this world now.
She didn't know how she fell in love with him, but as long as she was by his side, she felt at ease.
"Didn't I tell you not to call me General?" Ye Chunnan frowned impatiently at her. "What did you say to Yao Yao for so long?"
"Nothing." Jin Shanshan shook her head. "It's getting late. I'm going back to the barracks."
Ye Chunnan took her hand. "Why are you still going back to the barracks? You will stay here tonight. Yao Yao asked someone to clean up a courtyard. Let's go there first."
Jin Shanshan was stunned. "What? Live here? I … I can't live here. "
"Why not?" Ye Chunnan looked down at her, reached out and flicked her forehead. "Don't think too much. I said I will live here, so I will live here."
"Her Ladyship seems to be going to betroth you …" Jin Shanshan said in a muffled voice.
Ye Chunnan replied indifferently. "Mn. Yao Yao likes to worry about these things."
"You know?" Jin Shanshan was stunned. She tried to struggle free from Ye Chunnan's hand.
"It's good to get engaged earlier." Ye Chunnan nodded seriously. "When the Emperor conquers Anhe City, we will get engaged."
Jin Shanshan was stunned. "Ah? What? "
Ye Chunnan turned and stared at her with a frown. "Don't you want to marry me? Then who do you want to marry? "
"That's not what I meant …" Jin Shanshan couldn't react. "Isn't Her Ladyship looking for a girl for you?"
"What nonsense are you thinking? Yao Yao already knew that I like you. Why would she look for another girl for me?" Ye Chunnan said impatiently. "When the time comes, my father will come. It's a good opportunity for him to meet you."
Jin Shanshan didn't know how to think anymore. She thought of what Her Ladyship said just now. So it was purposely said for her to hear. She was purposely teasing her!
"Lord … Lord Ye is coming to Anhe City?" Jin Shanshan asked softly.
"Mn. He will come." Ye Chunnan nodded. He held her hand again. "Let's go."
Jin Shanshan pulled her hand back. She looked at Ye Chunnan seriously. "I'm no longer the daughter of a noble family. I don't even have a maiden family. Do you really … really want to get engaged with me?"
"So stupid!" Ye Chunnan poked her forehead.
"Ye Chunnan!" Jin Shanshan called his name impatiently.
Ye Chunnan gently held her in his arms. He said stiffly, "I know you don't have a maiden family. I will take care of you in the future. Don't let your imagination run wild."
"Mn." Jin Shanshan pursed her lips and smiled. She wrapped her arms around his waist gently.
With Ye Chunnan's arrival, Wang Cuo and the others who had gone to the Dark North Kingdom returned. He was the one who stirred up the internal strife in the Dark North Kingdom. No one had discovered it. If Lu Lingzhi hadn't sent someone to warn Hai Gang, they would have been able to leave the Dark North Kingdom safely.
Although they were back now, many of them were injured.
Mo Rongzhan was very appreciative of Wang Cuo and the others. He asked the doctors to cure their injuries and rewarded them according to their contributions.
Everything was ready. The morale in the barracks was high. Mo Rongzhan ordered them to go to Anhe City.
Ye Zhen personally saw Mo Rongzhan off from the city wall. She didn't know the danger ahead or what would happen next. She only hoped that he would return to her side safely.
