Ou Suiliang will never disappoint Yi Huaiyu. Yi Huaiyu is very confident in this. Ou Suiliang will complete the tasks he gives him every time, and it will be the same this time.
In the General's Mansion, there are the cunning Yao Junxian, the heavily armed Sima Yuan, and the stubborn Sima Tulan. If Yi Huaiyu goes to propose marriage in person, he is only 30% sure, but if Ou Suiliang goes there for him, he is 100% sure.
You can now sit back and relax in the palace.
"What are you thinking about? You're still up so late?" Su Shiyun woke up from a light sleep when she heard the sound of glasses clinking. In her hazy sleepy eyes, she reflected the energetic figure of Yi Huaiyu holding on to the wine glass. When Yi Huaiyu has something on his mind, he
He would toss and turn and couldn't sleep. Su Shiyun knew that the recent events in the border area had made him very irritable, so she simply put on her coat and sat at the table with him.
"Yun'er, I will go to the southern border in a few days when I have gathered enough troops and horses. Suiliang will also go with me. I am not worried about you being alone in the imperial capital. After discussing with Suiliang, I plan to send you back to Yingchi County temporarily.
Stay here and pick you up when I come back, what do you think?"
Su Shiyun's sleepiness was instantly dispelled. She looked at Yi Huaiyu timidly and whispered softly: "I...can't I go with you? I can wash, cook and take care of you on the way..."
"How can that be done? Although there are no taboos in the military, there are always a lot of inconveniences in traveling with a woman like you. Besides, I have no eyesight. How can I have time to take care of you when you are on the battlefield?" Yi Huaiyu didn't even want to refuse.
"Didn't I take Miss Sima with me last time? I can also—"
It was rare that Su Shiyun persisted, but before she could finish her words, she was impatiently interrupted by Yi Huaiyu: "She is her, and you are you, can they be compared?"
Su Shiyun stopped talking and lowered her head so that her expression could not be seen. After a long time, she slowly pulled up her coat, got up and walked slowly to the bed. Yi Huaiyu took a deep breath and quickly pulled her, patiently speaking softly: "
Misunderstood, misunderstood, I'm not saying that you are not as good as her, it's just that she is talented and has a wild temperament. I don't have to worry about heaven or earth. Look at you, you are always infected with cold when you are pregnant with a child. How can I bear to let you suffer with the army?
?Even if you don’t feel sorry for yourself, you should still feel sorry for our son, right?"
Su Shiyun, who never tolerated soft words, quickly surrendered. The two of them sat on the bed and cuddled closely, one hand caressing the obvious bulge in the lower abdomen.
In three months, their child will be born.
"By the way, my servant said that General Sima and Lord Yao came here a few days ago. Is it about Miss Sima? How is the engagement?"
Yi Huaiyu paused for a moment and said casually, "What else can I do? That old guy Yao Junxian has a lot on his mind. I don't have time to care about it now. I'll wait until I get back from the war to talk about anything else."
"What about the soldiers and horses? How can you go on an expedition without General Sima's help? The emperor's troops are not enough. Isn't it dangerous to rush to meet the enemy?" Su Shiyun asked questions one after another, each one more hurriedly. Seeing Yi Huaiyu's smile becoming more and more reluctant, Su Shiyun asked
His face gradually turned pale: "Huaiyu, are you going to risk going to war? Can't you not go?"
Marching and fighting is not a child's play, how could he go to die without being fully prepared? Yi Huaiyu was a little helpless about Su Shiyun's unreasonable worries, but he understood that she was concerned about chaos.
Lifting his delicate chin and giving a light kiss between his eyebrows, Yi Huaiyu narrowed his eyes into a slit: "Am I such a stupid person?"
Su Shiyun shook her head, thought for a while, then nodded with a blushing face.
"My silly lady, with you here, how could I seek death?" He breathed out a breath of hot breath on Su Shiyun's neck. Seeing the pretty girl's cheeks turning red, Yi Huaiyu smiled softly, "Don't worry.
Yes, everything has been arranged. Suiliang came here just now to tell me that General Sima agreed to borrow troops. In any case, I am going to guard the distant mountains and rivers, and he will not fail to help. It’s a pity that I don’t know when this journey will take place.
When you come back, I'm afraid I won't be able to be with you when the baby is born. If you are in pain, sad, or lonely, just call my name. I will hear it from anywhere in the world."
The most difficult thing for a woman to resist is lingering words of love, especially for a simple person like Su Shiyun. Just a few words and one look are enough to make her fall deeply into love.
Whispering to Yi Huaiyu until dawn, Su Shiyun fell asleep peacefully in the warm embrace. Yi Huaiyu lay beside her with his forehead propped up, his fingers casually playing with the smooth black hair like her eyebrows, the look in his eyes
Gradually deepening.
He sent Ou Suiliang to propose marriage, and Sima Duran also agreed to marry him. He did not plan to tell Su Shiyun for the time being.
It is easy to be tired and sleepy when pregnant with a child. Su Shiyun was still sleeping at noon. Only Yi Huaiyu appeared in the study alone. Ou Suiliang didn't seem surprised. After putting a piece of marriage contract on the table, he sat quietly aside until the holiday.
Yi Huaiyu lost his temper and dropped his pen.
"Look at how angry you are, you're about to fall to the ground."
Yi Huaiyu wanted to make a joke to ease the atmosphere, but Ou Suiliang's face was expressionless and his tone was as blunt as a response: "The conditions have been negotiated. Miss Sima will wait for His Highness to return from the expedition before joining the army; General Sima's troops will be assembled within three days, Your Highness
You can lead troops to the southern border at any time. I have already explained what Mr. Yao said, and Miss Sima and General Sima should also be aware of it. As long as there is a grudge between the two of them, it will not be so easy to work together to suppress His Highness in the future."
"Very good." Yi Huaiyu shrugged and leaned lazily in the chair with his legs crossed. He looked at Ou Suiliang with a vague look in his eyes. After pondering for a while, he said, "There is something I have always wanted to ask, why do you obviously
You like Tu'er but want me to marry her? Aren't you afraid that I'll betray her?"
After the report was finished, Ou Suiliang, who wanted to say goodbye, stopped for these two sentences. When his sleeves brushed against the potted plants, the green branches beside him swayed.
"No matter whether His Highness has a sense of responsibility or not, as long as the Sima family is still useful, His Highness will not harm Miss Sima. Miss Su is indeed a treasure to His Highness, but the His Highness I know has clear goals and has the world in mind. How could he do it for a woman?
Delaying my pace? What's the use of my liking Miss Sima? After all, we are all His Highness's pawns. Who to keep and who to abandon is all a matter of His Highness's words, isn't it?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the study fell into almost deathly silence.
The world... The words that I once kept on my lips all day now sound extremely harsh. I don’t know if it’s because the matter itself is irritating, or because the person who said these words is Ou Suiliang-if Lian Ou Suiliang
They all consider themselves to be the son in the game, so who else around him trusts him, and who can he trust?
The friendship of nearly twenty years, so to speak, is actually so thin.
Indescribable anger was entangled in his heart. Yi Huaiyu clenched his fists, and a trace of pain in his palms made his thin lips tighten and his eyes were cold.
"If it is said that I have failed Yun'er and Tu'er in order to win the world, what about you, Suiliang?" His disappointed eyes glanced at his stiff back and cast it on the ground. Yi Huaiyu suddenly sneered, one after another, but he could not hide his hoarse smile.
trembling,
"For Sima Duran, are you going to betray your oath... abandon me?"
