It was almost midnight when Xu Suisui's convoy arrived at the rebel camp.
"Son..."
At this time, Wei Changtian was discussing matters with Su Qi in the main tent. Zhang San entered the tent and whispered a few words in his ear, and he responded casually:
"Let her in."
"yes!"
Zhang San bowed and exited the military tent, and soon walked in with Xu Suisui.
Only then did Su Qi know who the person was, and he stood up subconsciously.
Of course he recognized Xu Suisui.
Although he has never met her, as the new empress, he must have seen her portrait.
Even if she was a woman, even if Xinfeng was just a small country, Su Qi didn't dare to show any slights at this moment.
This is the imprint of "the emperor is superior and his subordinates are inferior" rooted in the hearts of almost every official in feudal society, even when facing the emperor of another country.
Therefore, even if Su Qi's appearance at this moment was not humble, it would not be an exaggeration to say he was respectful.
However, Wei Changtian had a nonchalant expression. He just glanced at Xu Suisui, then turned to look at Su Qi and continued:
"Master Su, I hope you can finish what I just said as soon as possible."
"Besides that, I also need you to take the time to draft a memorandum. Basically, you will talk about the evil deeds committed by Jing Guoqing, so as to rectify the name of this uprising like ours."
“It doesn’t matter if the content is true or false, as long as it makes sense.”
"Three days. It will be drafted within three days. After I read it, it will be spread throughout the capital..."
Leaving Xu Suisui aside, Wei Changtian spoke to Su Qi calmly, as if they were still the only two people in the tent.
And Xu Suisui was not ashamed. He just stood quietly in the corner of the tent with his head slightly lowered. He didn't look like an empress, but more like a maid.
"..."
Looking at Xu Suisui who was waiting with his hands lowered, and then at Wei Changtian, Su Qi was inevitably shocked.
It was not that he was unaware of the relationship between Wei Changtian and Xu Suisui, but he never imagined that the gap between their identities was so huge.
No matter what, this is the king of a country after all...
"Yes, sir, I will draft this proclamation right now."
Withdrawing his gaze, Su Qi looked at Wei Changtian with a different look than before.
He responded to Wei Changtian's words, and the latter nodded, and finally said:
"Okay, sir, please go ahead. I still have something to talk with the new Empress Feng."
"Yes, I will resign, villain."
"..."
He bent down, turned around and walked towards the curtain.
Su Qi obviously hesitated when he walked to Xu Suisui, but finally bowed to Xu Suisui, then lifted the curtain and walked out of the main tent.
At this point, only Wei Changtian and Xu Suisui were left in the tent.
Glancing at Xu Suisui, who looked a little nervous and said nothing, Wei Changtian was silent for a moment before asking in a deep voice:
"Xu Quan should have told you a lot."
"Now you know why I asked you to come?"
"..."
...
The night was dark, and the 300,000-strong army camp stretched on the west side of the river. It was dark and dead, with only a few fires crackling in the wind.
"I......"
Looking up at Wei Changtian, Xu Suisui pinched his fingers with some restraint and whispered tentatively:
"Is it because of the sky-watching thing?"
"..."
Damn it! I knew it had something to do with you!
Wei Changtian's eyes narrowed slightly, and his tone instantly became a bit colder.
"You do have some self-awareness."
"Xu Suisui, do you still remember what you promised me when we were in Fengyuan?"
"I chose to believe you at that time."
"Haha, that's what you did in the end?"
"I really didn't expect you to dare to come and not be afraid of me..."
"wait wait wait!"
Unexpectedly, facing Wei Changtian's sarcasm, Xu Suisui's expression suddenly changed from reserved to excited.
Her face flushed slightly, she bit her lip and interrupted:
"I didn't lie to you!"
"Do you think it was me who leaked the information about the Son of Heaven to Guan Kong?!"
"Isn't it?"
Wei Changtian sneered: "If it weren't for you, how would you have guessed that Guan Kong has the son of Heaven?"
"Or is there a character like Guan Kong in the books you've read?"
"Then why didn't you tell me in advance?"
"Oh I see......"
"You want to wait for me to be killed by Guan Kong, so you can benefit from it!"
"You, why do you miss me so much!"
Xu Suisui's eyes widened in disbelief, as if he didn't expect that Wei Changtian would say such a thing.
Her chest heaved violently, and her eyes suddenly turned red. She stared at Wei Changtian with an extremely aggrieved and angry look and choked out each word:
"Wei Changtian!"
"If I really wanted you to die! I wouldn't have gone to Qin Zhengqiu when I was in Shuzhou! I wouldn't have sent someone out to protect you when you broke through to the second level!"
"If I really wanted you to die, you would have died long ago!"
"You can kill Xiao Feng! I can't kill you!"
"How could you say such a thing!"
"..."
From the beginning of the conversation to now, the two of them have only spoken a dozen words in total, but the atmosphere in the tent has become extremely intense.
It can be heard that Xu Suisui is really aggrieved, and the last few sentences are almost to the point of venting.
You must know that she has never been so tit-for-tat with Wei Changtian, so she must be really heartbroken.
In fact, this is not difficult to understand.
After all, Xu Suisui was right. If she really wanted Wei Changtian to die, she wouldn't even need to plan anything herself. She could just change the plot slightly at certain special moments.
Of course, just like Wei Changtian tried to kill Xiao Feng several times before, Wei Changtian may not die due to the variables of heaven.
But after all, the possibility exists.
No matter how much Xu Suisui acted as a riddle or a hindrance, at least he had never done such a thing, and he had helped Wei Changtian resolve several life-and-death crises overtly and covertly.
It's obvious that I've been protecting you, and you don't appreciate it, but now you're saying that I'm trying to harm you... It wouldn't be easy for anyone to put such grievances on you, let alone if you really regard Wei Changtian as your own. Xu Suisui, the closest person in the world.
"Wei Changtian, just because you asked me to come to Daqian, I traveled thousands of miles to come..."
"But you have to know that I am not your maid..."
After the excitement, Xu Suisui's eyes became redder, but his tone gradually became colder.
"On the way here, I was still thinking about whether something happened to you and what I could do to help you..."
"I didn't expect you to tell me this..."
"Don't forget, you promised me when we were in Fengyuan that you would believe me no matter what..."
"You have let me down too much......"
Finally, after giving Wei Changtian a deep look, Xu Suisui took a few steps back, then turned around and ran out of the main tent, covering his mouth.
It could be seen that she was trying her best not to cry, but Wei Changtian still heard the uncontrollable crying the moment she turned around.
The night wind blew and the curtains lifted and fell, but Wei Changtian did not pursue them.
He just stood there in shock, never expecting that things would develop like this.
