Chapter 460 Compromise

 "The one who is not dirty".

My heart moved when I heard these words. Every time Yuan Yichu mentioned these words and the person named "Yuan Xiu", his originally indifferent expression would show a bit of resentment and unwillingness, which seemed to be related to that person.

What knots do people have that cannot be untied?

And this knot seems to be me, but it doesn’t seem to be entirely me.

If it were a normal time, I would definitely ask who this person is and what relationship he has with me in the past. But now, I don’t even have the intention to say a word to him. I withdraw my hand forcefully and coldly

Said: "What does it have to do with me?"

"Why, do you really think it has nothing to do with you?"

He put his hands on both sides of my body and looked at me aggressively. I felt a little embarrassed when he looked at me.

I have forgotten so many things and people in the past. Now even I don’t know what I have experienced, who I have been with, and what kind of past I have had. Maybe what he is saying now has traces.

, but now, I really don’t want to say another word to him.

So, he said calmly: "Please go out, I want to rest."

"You want me to go out?" He said coldly: "You know who you are talking to, I am your husband, do you want to drive me away?"

"You——"

As soon as these words came out of my mouth, I was blocked. After all, my food, clothing, and housing all belonged to him. I wanted to kick him out of the room he prepared for me. In fact, I had no confidence at all, but it was just right.

Because of this, I felt even more aggrieved. Just as I was about to say something, he had already pressed me onto the bed and pinned me down.

"What are you going to do?!"

I was so frightened that my voice changed, thinking he was going to do that again, but he just held me in his arms hard and made no next move. But when I felt his hot breath blowing on my face, I still

Panicked and struggling slightly, he said: "You, let go——"

Before I finished speaking, my struggling body suddenly touched a certain part of his body, and I froze immediately.

He said in a hoarse voice: "Try moving again."

"..."

"I'll show you again whether I'm dirty or not!"

I didn't dare to say anything anymore, I didn't even dare to take a breath, I could only hold him tightly in his arms stiffly, and through the weak candlelight I saw him close his eyes and fall into a deep sleep after a while.

He seems very tired.

Indeed, it should be very tiring.

Although I didn't want to care about him, after all, when I got here, I couldn't help but inquire about the development of the war. I heard that the Shengjing army went south a few days ago, and the battle ahead was very tight. It was almost broken several times. At this time, he was ordered to come in the face of danger.

The supervisor also has a huge burden on his shoulders.

I thought about it and finally decided not to continue arguing with him. I just let him hold me and listened to his heavy breathing ringing in my ears, slowly, all night long.

When I got up at dawn, the person next to my pillow had disappeared.

For the next few days, he would come to my room every night and hold me to sleep in a somewhat domineering manner. I couldn't help but struggle to refuse, but he always had a way to make me finally compromise in his arms.

The fact that he stayed in my room every night was a sign of the easing of the relationship on the surface. Even Yang Yunhui breathed a sigh of relief among those who served him. But outside the gate of the state capital, it didn't seem to be the case. I only took my children with me every day.

, I can also feel the tense atmosphere, and I also heard from the maids that further north from Texas, there is the border town of Dongzhou, which is where it meets the grassland. The war is intense and the fighting is in full swing.

In Yunling outside Dongzhou City, there is a 400,000-strong army marching south from Shengjing. The two cities of Dedong are not far from each other. The orders given by Yuan Yichu here will be transmitted to the front within half a day.

On this day, I was holding Li'er and playing in the house, when I heard a loud noise outside. When I took the child and went out to take a look, I saw people in the house going back and forth, busy with something, and everyone's face was filled with joy.

, even outside the house separated by a wall, you can hear the loud cheers of some people. As soon as the maids saw me going out, they knelt down and said: "Greetings, Madam."

"What's so exciting?"

A maid smiled and said: "The news came back from Dongzhou that our imperial army won the battle."

"Oh?"

"This is a huge happy event!"

I looked at their happy faces, said nothing, waved, and they all went about their business. But I stood at the door and listened to the voices of celebration, but I didn't feel too happy.

If the battle is over and it is a victory, naturally we should be happy, but now the war is obviously still in a stalemate, and we are so happy after a victory. It can be seen that in the past days, the court should have been suppressed.<

/p>

The situation is not too optimistic.

But when I look back, I feel funny. This has nothing to do with me. After all, I am just a woman. I heard the lively sounds outside. I have been sitting here for several days and it is time to go out for a walk.

Get some air.

So he asked an attendant and found out that Yuan Yichu was waiting for Yang Yunhui to talk in the study, so he handed Li'er to his nanny and went to talk to him.

As soon as I walked into the courtyard outside the study, I saw the door ajar. Yang Yunhui was standing in front of the desk. Yuan Yichu was sitting there. There was a folding book on the table. He was writing something. It seemed that he was going to submit the folding book to the emperor.

While writing, I was talking to Yang Yunhui. I walked up with my skirt in hand and was about to knock on the door when I heard Yang Yunhui say: "Third brother, there is an acquaintance among the prisoners this time."

"Acquaintance? Who is it?"

"Ruixue, I still remember that she is Miss Nangong's girl, so I brought her out alone for interrogation."

"Ruixue? She also arrived in Yunling, and Li Zhu—"

"Not really."

"...Oh."

"I asked her. Miss Nangong did not come to Yunling with her this time. Instead, she was asked to follow the army to serve that person."

There was silence in the study for a while, and I seemed to hear the sound of someone gritting his teeth. After a long time, Yuan Yichu said with a sneer: "She is really dedicated. She went south to take risks for him, and now she has sent troops, and she has to have someone take care of him.

It seems that this couple is really a husband and a wife."

"It's not."

After Yang Yunhui said these three words, he seemed to hesitate for a moment before saying: "I heard from Miss Ruixue that Miss Nangong's life there is not good."

"What?"

Yuan Yichu's writing suddenly stopped: "What did you say?"

"Ruixue said that when she was still in the capital, Miss Nangong's marriage seemed to be a harmonious relationship on the surface, but in fact it was always very unsatisfactory. When she arrived in Shengjing, it was even more... I heard that the man had almost never looked for her, and since...

Since Miss Nangong returned to Shengjing from Yangzhou, news of her death has also spread to Shengjing, making the situation even worse."

"..."

"It seems that that person hasn't seen Miss Nangong for nearly a year, and he didn't even want to say a word to anyone. Until——"

"Until what?"

"It wasn't until a few days ago that news came from the south that she was still alive, and that person..."

"Humph, we just assembled an army of 400,000 and stationed troops in Yunling, right?" When Yuan Yichu said this, he almost said it through gritted teeth, with unspeakable anger, and said fiercely: "He wants to

What is it? Is it Jiangshan, or - her?!"

I was vaguely frightened when I heard it outside, as if someone had made him angry. I felt that it was not the right time to come to him, so I stepped back carefully. Just as I was about to leave, I heard a "pop" sound from his hand.

His pen hit the fold, and ink suddenly flew everywhere.

This man! That’s a memorial. If the emperor saw it, he wouldn’t behead him!

"Take me to see Ruixue!"

"Yes."

As soon as I heard this, I hurriedly walked down the steps and hid in the flowers on the side. I saw the door open, and he walked out with a gloomy face, and walked out of the yard with Yang Yunhui.

When they were far away, I cautiously emerged from the flowers, feeling confused.

That Miss Nangong - who is she? And who is "that person" they are talking about? Is it the one he mentioned before - Yuan Xiu? Or is it someone else?

What on earth is going on? A Miss Nangong actually wants to lead an army of 400,000 people to go south. Is this what is called - turning the crown into a beauty in anger?

I vaguely felt that this matter was not simple, but I couldn't figure it out no matter how hard I thought about it. Seeing that it was hopeless to go out today, I could only go back to the room silently.

Since I couldn't leave the house, my life was very monotonous. I read, wrote, and took care of the children. At dusk, the kitchen still brought warm meals. I ate them by myself, read under the lamp for a while, and then left.

The person who served fell asleep alone.

But that night, I slept a little uneasily, and had many strange dreams in a trance.

In the dream, I seemed to be in a very quiet attic, with milky white and gentle sunshine in front of me, giving people a sense of tranquility. In the sunshine, there seemed to be a pair of gentle eyes that were always watching me.<

/p>

I have a vague feeling that these eyes seem to have been looking at each other for a long time, even the sky has aged, but there has been no change at all.

I felt a little uneasy in my heart. I didn’t know who he was and why he was looking at me like this, but his gaze was so persistent that it made people feel heartbroken. I struggled to wake up from my dream.

As soon as I opened my eyes, I met a pair of familiar eyes.

Different from the eyes in the dream, these eyes were very gloomy, even with a hint of anger. They were illuminated by the weak candlelight, and there seemed to be a fire burning inside.

I was startled and broke into a cold sweat: "What are you doing!"

He came to my room not once or twice at night, but it was really annoying to be so scary, but he just sat on the edge of the bed and looked at me without saying a word, and his gloomy eyes made people feel a little uneasy.

I frowned and didn't bother to say anything else to him. I simply turned over and slept some inside, and ignored him.

Usually he would fall asleep like this, but today after a long time, I didn't hear any movement from him. I felt something was wrong, so I subconsciously looked back at him, only to see that he was still sitting there, looking at me with a heavy gaze.

I hesitated and said: "What on earth are you——"
