When Ning Cheng wanted to leave, Han Yunxi said to him with a cold smile, "Ning Cheng, my anger has already subsided, so what are you angry for?"
"Princess ….." Ning Cheng wanted to say something, but hesitated.
Han Yunxi smiled and then said, "It's not a serious matter, it's already over. The East Qin Crown Prince is right, it's more important for us to talk about serious matters. "
When these words were said, Long Fei Ye's face turned dark. His hands were hidden in his sleeves as they slowly clenched into fists. He almost couldn't hold back his anger.
Ning Cheng was stunned, but he quickly came back to his senses.
The princess was forcefully holding on, forcefully holding on to her dignity. If he couldn't see through this, then he would have followed her for nothing.
Everyone was laughing at him and if he left like this, wouldn't he become a joke if he didn't take responsibility?
No matter what, he couldn't let the East Qin Crown Prince laugh at him!
Ning Cheng immediately kneeled down on one knee, "Any matter of the princess is not a small matter. This matter is this subordinate's offense, but this subordinate will definitely give the princess and the Western Qin royal family an explanation! After completing the great task of restoring the country, this subordinate will use my life to apologize with my death! "
Han Yunxi didn't want to discuss this matter, but seeing Long Fei Ye's lips filled with disdain, her anger was ignited once again.
She said with a teasing smile, "Ning Cheng, you would rather die than take responsibility for me?"
Ning Cheng suddenly raised his head and looked at the woman in front of him in disbelief. Although he knew that she was speaking out of anger and was lying, in this moment, he was willing to deceive himself once.
"As long as the princess is willing, Ning Cheng will definitely take responsibility." Ning Cheng said word for word, speaking in an incomparably firm tone.
Han Yunxi helped Ning Cheng up, "Ning Cheng, you really are good."
He tore a piece of her clothes and took a look at her birthmark. Yet, he was so dead set on apologizing with his life and taking responsibility for it.
Then how many times should Long Feiye, the man who'd married her and bullied her countless times? Every time he'd come close to eating her dry, he'd stopped abruptly? How many lifetimes should he be responsible for?
Long Fei Ye, what qualifications do you have to ridicule and disdain Ning Cheng?
Long Fei Ye, do you know that my greatest humiliation was bestowed upon me by you? That cinnabar on my hand was because you were unwilling to take responsibility for it! Your bullying was not just bullying, it was simply toying with him!
Long Fei Ye clenched his fists so tightly that his bones were about to shatter. He said coldly, "Baili Yuanlong, talk to them! You are fully in charge! "
If he didn't leave now, he might not be able to control himself.
With that, Long Fei Ye turned and left. His figure flitted across the long drawbridge, not even looking back once.
Han Yunxi's gaze followed him to the other side, to the other side, until she saw him disappear into the night. Her heart was completely shattered.
In the past, every time he turned and left, no matter how far he went, he would turn back and ask her, "Han Yunxi, why aren't you leaving?"
But this time, he disappeared without a trace.
Her gaze was still fixed on the empty cliff opposite. Han Yunxi was expressionless as she said Cold, "Ning Cheng, talk to them. You are fully in charge!"
So speaking, Han Yunxi turned to leave without looking back. However, she didn't go far. She waited for Ning Cheng at the foot of the mountain.
Ning Cheng didn't come to see her until dawn.
"Princess, as you expected, they know about Jun Yi Xie's ninety thousand warhorses." Ning Cheng hesitated for a moment, then said, "But there's one thing this subordinate can't figure out. How did they know the Feng Clan betrayed us?"
"The one who assassinated Gu Beiyue wasn't Long Fei Ye. He himself also knew someone was impersonating him. Long Fei Ye has been investigating the identities of the spies in Tianshan and Zhongnan. It's not strange that he guessed it was the Feng Clan. "Han Yunxi was somewhat powerless.
"Princess, this subordinate and Baili Yuanlong have basically reached a ceasefire agreement, but we haven't discussed the details." Ning Cheng reported truthfully.
Eastern and Western Qin were mortal enemies. It was already good enough that they could stop fighting, but cooperation was impossible.
Therefore, the final result of their negotiations was a ceasefire, and they would each deal with the Feng Clan. The key to the negotiations was the duration of the ceasefire and the details of any unexpected situations during the ceasefire. These were things that needed to be slowly worked out.
Han Yunxi had long since guessed the outcome of the negotiations. She herself didn't know what she was waiting for.
"Let's go back," Han Yunxi said indifferently.
"Princess …" Ning Cheng hesitated for a long time, then finally said, "Princess, when the Western Qin Empire is restored, this subordinate will atone for his crimes with death!"
Han Yunxi said nothing and got into the carriage.
In fact, Long Fei Ye hadn't left either. He was at the foot of another mountain. His face was gloomy from beginning to end, and his hands were still clenched into fists even now.
It wasn't until Baili Yuanlong finished reporting the negotiations that he asked Coldly, "What does Han Yunxi mean?"
"Reporting to Your Highness, the Western Qin princess has already left. She's given full authority over this matter to Ning Cheng," Baili Yuanlong said.
Long Fei Ye fell silent again. He allowed Baili Yuanlong to call him several times, but he didn't answer.
After a long time, he finally turned and left. His silhouette was silent enough to make the whole world silent with him.
When he returned to the barracks, Long Fei Ye walked all the way to his tent. Everyone who bumped into him on the way was shocked by the silent aura he emitted.
A trace of worry flitted across Baili Yuanlong's eyes. It was as if he was seeing the crown prince again after Consort Wan's death.
However, Baili Yuanlong couldn't figure out what was going on with His Highness.
Today's negotiations had gone smoothly, and His Highness had even humiliated Han Yunxi and Ning Cheng.
"Master, Master! A letter from Medical City! "Xu Donglin suddenly popped up.
Long Fei Ye remained indifferent. Xu Donglin glanced back at Baili Yuanlong. Seeing that Baili Yuanlong wasn't coming over so quickly, he hurriedly pulled out a purple tassel from his sleeve and showed a corner to His Highness.
Long Fei Ye's eyes lit up when he saw it. "Where did you get …"
"Your Highness, shh … a letter from Medical City!" Xu Donglin whispered to Long Fei Ye as he handed the purple tassel and Shen Jueming's letters to Baili Yuanlong.
"Pass down my orders. This prince isn't feeling well. No one is to disturb him!" Long Fei Ye ordered loudly, then strode into the tent. By the time Baili Yuanlong caught up, he was already gone.
"Just now, you …"
Baili Yuanlong was about to ask Xu Donglin when Xu Donglin countered with a question, "General Baili, what's … wrong with His Highness? Why does he look so listless? "
"Military matters are bothering him. Guard him well. Don't let anyone disturb His Highness, "Baili Yuanlong instructed seriously.
"Yes!" Xu Donglin nodded respectfully. "General Baili, Miss Mingxiang seems to have returned. She's anxious to see you."
As soon as Baili Yuanlong left, Xu Donglin let out a sigh of relief.
Actually, he didn't know what Vice Academy Head Shen had said in the letter, but esteemed wangfei had definitely asked him to pass that purple tassel to His Highness.
His Highness had once sent esteemed wangfei a large box of jewelry. Esteemed wangfei had picked out that purple tassel and often wore it.
Since Xu Donglin could recognize it, Long Fei Ye naturally recognized it at a glance.
He tore open the letter almost as soon as he entered, but hesitated when he picked it up.
He'd always used the excuse that Han Yunxi wasn't a Western Qin princess to get Shen Jueming to help him seal off Medical City. Now that Han Yunxi was personally leading an expedition, what would Shen Jueming's attitude be?
Shen Jueming's attitude was definitely the same as Han Yunxi's, so why did he write to him? And why did he send this tassel on behalf of Han Yunxi?
Long Fei Ye casually tossed the letter on the table and turned to leave. But just as he reached the door, he turned back and opened the letter.
But the contents of the letter instantly brightened Long Feiye's gloomy world.
In the letter, Shen Jueming described how Han Yunxi had used the purple tassel as a token to entrust him with taking care of Long Zun. When he saw Long Zun and the servants accompanying him, one of the accompanying eunuchs showed signs of unbearable itchiness on his back. Shen Jueming examined him on the spot and discovered a line of black lines on the eunuch's back. Upon closer inspection, it was actually a line of crooked words.
The line read, "Long Fei Ye, if I wasn't a Western Qin princess, would you still like me?"
Shen Jueming couldn't figure out what Han Yunxi had done. He only knew that she might have poisoned him. After he used an anti-itch medicine, the black lines completely disappeared.
After pondering for a day, Shen Jueming finally wrote a letter.
Long Fei Ye read the letter three times. His gaze finally settled on the line, "Long Fei Ye, if I wasn't a Western Qin princess, would you still like me?"
"Idiot!"
He laughed bitterly. He hadn't laughed since Han Yunxi's disappearance.
At this very moment, he laughed so hard that tears almost flowed out of his eyes. "Han Yunxi, you idiot! Idiot! "
Han Yunxi, if you want to know the answer, then ask me face to face!
Han Yunxi had clearly seen him today, but she had spent so much effort to have Shen Jueming deliver the letter. She must have had a lot of things against her will with Ning Cheng.
Thinking of this, Long Fei Ye couldn't help but recall her pair of eyes as red as a rabbit's. His heart instantly felt like it was being cut by a knife.
"Baili Yuanlong! Baili Yuanlong! "
Long Fei Ye shouted. As soon as Baili Yuanlong saw Baili Mingxiang, he didn't even have time to say anything before rushing over.
"Set a time. This crown prince wants to discuss all the details of the ceasefire with Han Yunxi. The sooner the better!" Long Fei Ye said.
"Your Highness, only today …" Baili Yuanlong looked confused. "Your Highness, what are your plans?"
He had just humiliated Han Yunxi today. If he wanted to set a time, he should at least delay it.
"I don't have any plans. This matter needs to be resolved quickly to avoid any unforeseen circumstances. Jun Yi Xie's warhorse will be here soon." Long Fei Ye made up an excuse.
Baili Yuanlong could only do as he was told.
Late at night, Han Yunxi was in the barracks. She had just finished a meeting with Ning Cheng and several deputy generals.
She had brought the brocade box back and placed it on the table. Apart from Ning Cheng, no one else knew what was inside, so they didn't pay much attention to it.
Ning Cheng was the last to leave. He looked at the brocade box and wanted to say something, but seeing the princess's downcast expression, he didn't dare say anything and directly left.
After everyone had left, Han Yunxi opened the brocade box. She gently stroked the tattered purple muslin robe and thought back to all the hardships, exhaustion, suffering, waiting, and apprehension. None of these could compare to today's heart-wrenching grief.
Long Feiye, wasn't this purple your favorite color in the past?
Han Yunxi closed her eyes and fiercely closed the brocade box, but she suddenly heard a strange sound coming from inside. She hurriedly opened it and found that there were nine letters inside.
