In the Jinluan Palace, Ye Lintian frowned and looked coldly at the ministers below.
Even though he was not mentioning the Bai family's affairs, Shen Ran didn't know why, but he was always on tenterhooks, fearing that the emperor would question him.
Until now, Shen Ran didn't understand why His Majesty wanted to interfere in this matter.
"Everyone, regarding the Western Dynasty, who among you is willing to lead troops to fight?"
The Western Dynasty had already defeated the soldiers he sent there, and now it was a headache to think about raising an army to invade.
General Zhao stepped forward and said, "I am willing to accept my order."
"Okay," Ye Lintian smiled, "Then it's up to you -"
"His Majesty!"
A hurried voice came, and the eunuch hurriedly walked in, half-kneeling on the ground: "Your Majesty, the Western Dynasty has withdrawn its troops."
Retired?
Ye Lintian was a little confused. What on earth was Xichao doing?
First, they said they were coming to visit, but ended up starting a war without saying a word, and now they are inexplicably withdrawing again?
"Did Prince Ling say why this happened?" Ye Lintian asked in a deep voice.
"Your Majesty, His Highness Prince Ling has said that he plans to continue to visit our court."
Ye Lintian: "..."
Haha, Lord Ling, are you kidding me?
He was angry, and his tone was a bit harsh: "Isn't Tianfeng Chao a place where he can come whenever he wants? Let him get out of here!"
Below, a minister kindly reminded: "Your Majesty, you can't beat me, you can't beat me..."
These words silenced Ye Lintian.
His face was ugly and he clenched his fists tightly.
After a while, he released his palm and almost said a sentence through gritted teeth.
"Let King Ling come in. He only needs to come in with his envoys. No other soldiers are allowed in."
What if King Ling pretended to be suing for peace, but ended up continuing to fight as soon as he entered the city?
He is timid and cannot stand being frightened.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The eunuch was ordered to leave.
The other ministers also looked at each other in confusion. No one knew what the madness of King Ling of the Western Dynasty was like!
So good, he just called on troops to attack the city, and now he wants to continue visiting?
If it weren't for the strong military strength in the Western Dynasty, who would care about you?
Ye Lintian secretly made up his mind that when King Ling comes, he must find a way to polish his prestige.
Let him know that he, Ye Lintian, is not so easy to bully!
If you can't beat him, at least you can't lose face!
The Shen Mansion was peaceful that night. Shen Qingluan never fell asleep, quietly waiting for something.
But until midnight, the person was not there.
She almost fell asleep waiting.
"Is it possible that he won't come?"
It shouldn't be.
Since Ji Wugui hates Feng Lichen so much, he should think of ways to take action against Ah Jin.
What's more important is that Feng Lichen is not in the capital yet.
At this moment, Qiuyue was also sitting on the bed without falling asleep. Her ears were perked up, listening to the movement outside, and her whole look was a little nervous.
Because of what happened last time, they were even more energetic this time, waiting for him.
Suddenly, a gust of breeze passed by, and just as Qiuyue was about to stand up, a hand suddenly stretched out from behind and grabbed her neck.
Qiuyue's body froze, she slowly turned her head, and what she saw was a face with several scars across it.
The man's face was gloomy, and he stared at Qiuyue eerily, and the words he spoke were even more like a ghost.
"who are you!"
Qiuyue's blood almost flowed backwards, and her whole body was cold.
The man's voice was like a knife, grinding on her neck, making it difficult for her to breathe.
"Who am I and what does it have to do with you?"
She asked with a cold face.
Ji Wuhui strangled her neck tightly, a cold light flashed in his eyes: "Are you Jian Yue?"
January...
With a bang, Qiuyue's whole brain exploded.
This Qiuyue was picked up by Shen Qingluan in autumn. It was a full moon night, so she named her Qiuyue.
Later, in her dream, she clearly heard the whispering voices.
The voice called her: "Jian Yue."
Qiuyue's body trembled, her lips turned pale, she clenched her fists tightly, and stared at the man tightly.
"Why...do you know this name?"
Why……
"Jian Yue, stop pretending, you can't possibly forget me!" The man sneered, "Even if you forget me, can you still forget Gu Xinrou? She was once bullied so miserably by you in the Ji family, but she still looks after me everywhere.
you!"
Gu Xinrou——
Ouch, it hurts!
Qiuyue's brain began to hurt violently, and she held her head tightly in pain.
The man had also let go of his hand, looking coldly at Qiuyue who was squatting on the ground, and the sneer on his lips became even worse.
"Stop pretending. Do you think pretending that you don't know me will erase your sin of destroying the Ji family? You are a wicked person and you deserve death!"
Qiuyue held her head tightly, as if there were countless nails driven through her head.
Even if the name Gu Xinrou only made her worried, there was only fear in her heart.
Yes, a name is enough to scare her to this extent.
"Gu Xinrou, Gu Xinrou...it hurts so much!!"
She screamed, the scream was sharp and pierced the sky, carrying fear and grief.
"Jian Yue! You don't deserve to call her name. I feel dirty even if I call her name from your mouth!"
Ji Wuhui grabbed Qiu Yue's hair and pulled her up forcefully.
Qiuyue's eyes were full of panic, and that kind of panic was so heart-wrenching that it made Ji Wuhui's sneer even worse.
"Are you scared now? Are you afraid that I will know the truth? Jian Yue, I really misjudged you, and that's why I was deceived by you for so many years, you vicious woman!"
He raised his hand and slapped Qiu Yue hard on the face.
Her face was red and swollen, and there was a trace of blood hanging from the corner of her mouth.
Qiuyue did not resist and could not resist.
Her mind was filled with the name Gu Xinrou, as if some memory was about to emerge from the depths, like a wild beast, filling her heart with fear and despair...
"Jian Yue!"
Ji Wuhui's heart was filled with anger, forcing Jian Yue to look at him.
However, those eyes were a little dilated and the pupils were constricted. The feeling of fear made Ji Wuhui's heart tremble.
But the next moment, he became cruel again and continued to slap her in the face.
"Bitch, it was you who harmed my family. My mother treated you so well, why did you treat her like this? Even if you are afraid now, it will not help. You must pay for the mistakes you have committed!"
When Ji Wugui slapped her again, the panic in Qiu Yue's eyes was magnified.
She seemed to see a prison full of torture.
Each one is like hell.
Make her life worse than death.
"Ah!" she roared, struggling desperately, but even forgot to use her inner strength, "let me go, let me go, don't hit me! Please don't hit me, I know I was wrong, I will leave, I really
will leave..."
At this moment, she was like a drowning person trying to climb out of the abyss of despair.
