Jimo Qiao was so anxious that she kept pacing around the room, while Yuan Yuan stood still and said nothing, but the shocked expression on her face was gone, and she had already begun to frown and think.
"Sister, what's wrong with you? Why don't you speak?"
Jimo Qiao felt that there was something wrong with Yuanyuan's reaction. According to her thoughts, her sister would be very anxious.
Yuan Yuan let out a breath of turbid air, turned around, took Jimo Qiao's hand, and said: "Qiao'er, sit down first and calm down."
So, the two of them sat on the edge of the bed together.
Jimo Qiao frowned and said: "Sister, how can the emperor do this? He gave you a decree to get married, but then he asked his brother-in-law to run as far away as Muyue Kingdom. There was a war on the Qingyuan Pass. How dangerous it would be for my brother-in-law to go there.
ah!"
Yuan Yuan patted the back of Jimo Qiao's hand gently and said comfortingly: "Look at you like this, why are you more anxious than me? If you don't know, you might think you are his wife..."
Jimo Qiao's face suddenly became hot, and he immediately turned away his hand and said angrily: "Sister, I'm talking to you about something serious, why are you still making such a joke?"
"Okay, okay, sister, stop joking and stop talking." Yuan coaxed.
Jimo Qiao then turned around again, frowning and said: "Sister, aren't you anxious?"
"I'm anxious. How could I not be anxious?" Yuan nodded.
Jimo Qiao immediately said: "Looking at you like this, what makes you look anxious?"
Yuan Yuan smiled helplessly and said: "Qiao'er, I'm really anxious, but if you think about it carefully, this is a matter decided by the Emperor. If we are anxious or unwilling, what's the use?"
"But...but..."
Jimo Qiao was speechless immediately, because what his sister said was indeed correct. After all, this is the emperor's order and cannot be disobeyed!
"But...but...but the emperor is so unkind." Jimo Qiao complained for a long time and finally complained.
Yuanyuan shook his head and said: "Qiaoer, don't think so. I think the emperor would do this because he must have difficulties."
Jimo Qiao didn't criticize the emperor much, so he changed his words: "But sister, can my brother-in-law know how to fight? It would be too dangerous to send him to guard the pass at Qingyuan Pass. In case... bah bah bah, no, no
, I didn’t mean that, sister... There is no such thing as a contingency, there is absolutely no contingency!"
Yuanyuan was slightly amused by Jimo Qiao's appearance: "Qiaoer, actually you don't have to worry too much. I know his abilities and nothing will happen to him."
Jimo Qiao shook his head slowly, looked at Yuyuan and said, "Sister, you are too ambitious..."
Yuan Yuan smiled slightly and asked, "Tell me carefully, what did you hear just now?"
Jimo Qiao immediately repeated what he had just overheard.
"That's all I heard, sister." Jimo Qiao said.
Yuan asked: "Didn't you say when to set off?"
Jimo Qiao shook his head: "I didn't say, but judging from Commander Gu's tone, I guess it will be soon..."
Yuan Yuan nodded, thoughtfully.
"Sister, do you really want your brother-in-law to go to Muyue Kingdom?" Jimo Qiao asked.
Yuanyuan thought about it seriously, nodded and said: "It is related to the peace of tens of millions of people in the north, and it is reasonable and reasonable to go!"
Jimo Qiao suddenly shook his head speechlessly, and for a moment he didn't know what words to use to express his feelings.
Yuanyuan said: "Qiao'er, this matter is very confidential. Don't go out and talk nonsense."
"Sister, do I still need your advice on this matter? I'm from Wude after all, so how can I not even understand these things?" Jimo Qiao said displeased.
Yuan Yuan immediately said: "Yes, yes, I worry too much, don't mind..."
"Sister, I don't mind. I just feel very uncomfortable when I think about it. How could they send their brother-in-law to fight on the front line at this time? It's so unkind!" Jimo Qiao felt very upset.
.
Yuan comforted him and said, "Okay, don't think too much about it, go back to the house and rest."
Jimo Qiao saw that his sister wanted to be quiet for a while, so he nodded obediently, got up and walked out.
After sending Jimo Qiao out of the yard, Yuan came to the wall beside the house.
Immediately afterwards, Yuan used Qinggong and with a few light steps, he was on the roof.
.....................
On the other side, after Jimoshu sent Gu Zhengbang away, he walked to Yuanyuan's yard with deep thoughts.
Jimoshu believed that this matter must be known to his daughter as early as possible. If his daughter showed reluctance to Chai Yan going to Muyue Kingdom, then he would go to see the emperor even if he gave up his old face.
Halfway through, Jimoshu suddenly saw Jimoqiao. She seemed to have come out of Yuyuan's place and was heading to her yard with a very disappointed look.
"Qiao'er!" Jimoshu immediately shouted.
Jimo Qiao stopped when he heard the sound, turned around and saw that it was his father, and immediately greeted him obediently: "Dad."
Jimoshu walked up, observed Jimoqiao's expression, and asked, "What's wrong with you? You look unhappy. Who provoked you?"
"No...no!" Jimo Qiao hurriedly shook his head in denial.
After a pause, Jimoshu asked again: "Is your sister in the courtyard?"
"Yes." Jimo Qiao said.
Jimoshu nodded slightly and said, "I understand, go ahead and I'll talk to your sister about something..."
As soon as Jimo Qiao heard this, he understood that his father was going to say something, and his emotions suddenly became turbulent. He couldn't help but probed: "Dad, what are you talking about to your sister?"
"Tsk, don't ask about it, it's none of your business!" Jimoshu glared at Jimoqiao, and at the same time waved his hand, motioning for her to go quickly.
Jimo Qiao had no choice but to walk away with her head hanging down. She vaguely heard her muttering: "Hey, I don't like to talk..."
It wasn't until Jimo Qiao had gone far that Jimoshu continued walking to Yuan's yard.
Before entering the yard, Jimoshu saw Yuan sitting on the roof, holding his chin with his hands in a daze.
"You'er, why did you go up there again?" Jimoshu shouted while standing outside the courtyard gate.
Yuan Yuan's thoughts were called back by the voice. When he saw his father coming outside the courtyard, he said: "Father, I... I will come up to get some air, and I will go down in a while..."
Soon, Jimoshu walked into the yard, but at this time the kite had no intention of coming down immediately, and still stared into the distance without moving.
When a maid in the yard saw the master coming, she hurried up and said politely: "Master, I have just persuaded you, but the eldest lady..."
Jimoshu raised his hand to block the maid's words and said: "It's okay, go and do your business!"
After the maid left, Jimoshu stepped on the stone lantern in the courtyard, then jumped up and stood firmly on the eaves.
Yuan Yuan was surprised and said: "Father, why are you here too?"
Jimoshu walked towards Yuan Yuan and said, "You don't want to come down, so I have to come up."
Yuan said sheepishly: "Father, my daughter should go down..."
Jimo Qiao smiled slightly: "Forget it, I'm already here, so don't move around. Anyway, it's good to talk here."
When Jimoshu came to his side, Yuanyuan asked: "Father, do you come here to tell me about the emperor asking him to go to Muyue Kingdom?"
Jimoshu was stunned for a moment and immediately asked: "You already know?"
"Yeah." Yuyuan nodded slowly.
Jimoshu immediately remembered Jimo Qiao's appearance and understood everything immediately. No wonder You'er went up to the roof to be in a daze. It turned out to be Qiao'er who told her the matter!
Jimoshu felt a little unhappy, thinking that this girl had gone to eavesdrop on his conversation with others again, and he would deal with her later when he went out!
Jimoshu was silent for a moment, and then asked carefully: "You'er, since you already know, my father would like to ask you, what do you think about this?"
Yuan said: "Father, don't worry, my daughter is not an unreasonable person."
Jimoshu was secretly surprised, and then said: "You mean, you...you agree with him going?"
"Yeah." Yuanyuan nodded vigorously.
Jimoshu asked curiously: "But the emperor has just issued the decree for your marriage, don't you have any... no complaints in your heart?"
Yuanyuan glanced at his father and replied: "Yes, how could it not be? But my daughter also understands which thing is more important... So, he still has to go to Muyue Kingdom first, right father
?”
After saying that, Yuyuan's eyes looked into the distance again.
Jimoshu looked at the kite quietly, then turned his gaze to the scenery in the distance, and nodded silently.
