"Master?"
Shen Zhiyi called Jiang Yubai carefully. Ever since Xie Shaoheng broke in just now, she noticed something was wrong with Xie Shaoheng's expression.
Jiang Yubai slowly raised his head, his face was as pale as paper, and a trace of imperceptible pain flashed in his eyes. He looked at Shen Zhiyi, pursed his lips slightly, and said in a hoarse voice: "I'm here."
Shen Zhiyi's heart tightened. She was keenly aware that something was wrong with Jiang Yubai.
Although his eyes were calm, there were some emotions hidden in those deep black eyes that she couldn't understand.
"He was the one who threw you on the mountain, and you still met him." Jiang Yubai's words contained a trace of anger.
Shen Zhiyi's expression changed slightly, she was silent for a moment, and said softly: "I know."
A trace of bitterness flashed in her eyes. Xie Shaoheng had told her personally as early as when she was locked in the dungeon.
Originally, Shen Zhiyi thought it was just an accident. Back then, Shen Zhiyi followed Xie Shaoheng into the hunting ground without authorization. Xie Shaoheng walked halfway and wanted to tease the female doll behind him.
Seeing that the baby girl couldn't see her crying, she hid behind the tree and secretly watched the joke. In the blink of an eye, Shen Zhiyi was really lost.
He was afraid and tried to find it for a while. Seeing that the sun was about to set, he went back alone.
Back at the foot of the mountain, Xie Shaoheng was still worried, thinking that if something happened to Shen Zhiyi, he would not be able to bear it. Thinking of General Shen An's iron-blooded methods, he became even more frightened.
Xie Shaoheng made up his mind, gritted his teeth, and lied that he had never met Shen Zhiyi.
The mountain was too big. Several groups of people entered but failed to find Shen Zhiyi. Xiang Jinzhu was almost in despair.
Jiang Yubai was furious, "I know you still..." and then sighed.
She gently held Jiang Yubai's hand, feeling the coldness and trembling of his fingers. She looked up at Jiang Yubai, her eyes full of apology and determination. "I know I was wrong and I will never see him again."
Afterwards, Shen Zhiyi handed a piece of delicate pastry to Jiang Yubai and said with a smile: "Master, don't be angry. I promise you that I will be more careful. So, how about the princess?"
Jiang Yubai took the cake in her hand, a hint of tenderness flashed in his eyes. He looked at her and said in a gentle tone: "There is no big problem with the princess anymore."
Perhaps because of the late empress' memorial day, he was very concerned about the princess during these days. Hearing that the princess had suffered several serious illnesses in the palace, Emperor Jing simply took the princess back to the palace. "
Having said this, Jiang Yubai paused for a moment, looked at the worry flashing in Shen Zhiyi's eyes, smiled softly, and then said: "The princess's injury has stabilized, and she just needs some time to recover. The eldest prince We’ll be back soon, so the court is a little busy, so you don’t have to worry too much.”
After hearing the news, Shen Zhiyi's anxiety eased a little. She looked at Jiang Yubai in front of her, and her heart was filled with gratitude.
Jiang Yubai glanced at her, then picked up the pastry and took a bite. A trace of exhaustion flashed in his eyes, making the smile on his face softer.
Shen Zhiyi remembered that in his previous life, Emperor Jing suddenly fell seriously ill and died shortly after the late Queen's memorial day. Perhaps because of missing the late Queen, his body was already overwhelmed.
At that time, she was already Xie Shaoheng's wife, Princess Hengyuan.
She walked into the imperial study room and saw Emperor Jing sitting on the dragon chair with his stomach turned pale. His eyes showed deep exhaustion and loneliness. He knew that his time was running out.
"I'm worried that after my death, the court will fall into chaos." Emperor Jing continued: "Many people are eyeing my throne. I have drafted an imperial edict and handed it over to you. The Shen family is full of loyal people, so I can trust you."
His words shocked Shen Zhiyi's heart. She knew that this was the emperor's extreme trust and trust in her.
At the emperor's signal, Shen Zhiyi took over the imperial edict and said, "I accept the edict."
Soon after returning to the house, Xie Shaoheng's informant Xi'er quietly reported the matter to Xie Shaoheng.
Shen Zhiyi knew that this thing was important and did not dare to open it easily. They were husband and wife, so they couldn't hide it. Xie Shaoheng drafted a fake edict to steal it, and it was Shen Zhiyi who opened it.
The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty had to submit.
He is the real leader of the world!
Now that the eldest prince has returned to Beijing, the Tianshu Kingdom is restless. The emperor of the Tianshu Kingdom actually sent a prince to Dongling for marriage. Emperor Jing agreed. If he leads troops to fight, Dongling will probably suffer heavy losses.
"I just don't know which prince is coming?" Jiang Yubai asked calmly.
Shen Zhiyi's heart tightened, she knew the importance of this news.
Tianshu Kingdom sent a prince to Dongling for marriage, which was undoubtedly a goodwill and test for Dongling. The identity and status of this prince would directly affect Dongling's decision-making and attitude.
Jiang Yubai looked at Shen Zhiyi's tense expression and smiled softly, "Don't be nervous. No matter which prince comes, we have a plan to deal with it."
His words made Shen Zhiyi slightly relieved, but the worry in his heart did not completely dissipate.
She said in a daze, "It's Si Nian, the sixth prince of Tianshu Kingdom."
A trace of doubt flashed between Jiang Yubai's eyebrows. These news were the latest news from the intelligence network he had set up. How could his disciple know?
"The Governor knows, I will deal with it well."
Si Nian, the sixth prince of the Tianshu Kingdom, was rumored to be extremely smart and talented, but he was actually the son of the princess and Mianshou. Although he was handsome, he had an extra delicate look between his eyebrows.
In the last life, Tianshu Kingdom fought with Dongling. Shen Zhiyi's father and brother, as the generals of Dongling, also died tragically at the hands of Si Nian. In that battle, Dongling's army was almost wiped out, but Shen Zhiyi was lucky. Escape.
For some reason, our army's combat plan was defeated one by one by the enemy. At first, Shen Zhiyi thought there was a traitor in the military camp.
Now that I think about it carefully, this traitor may have appeared in the court.
After Jiang Yubai left, Shen Zhiyi opened the secret compartment and took out the hidden military book. She turned to the next volume and found that she had almost completed the entire article by relying on her memory, leaving only a few vague characters that confused her.
She sat at the table, lit candles, and thought about her previous life.
She remembered every detail of that battle, how her father and brother died heroically, and the blood and broken weapons all over the ground.
She picked up her pen and saw that these military books were even more powerful than those she had written on the battlefield. She drew the military books she had written in her previous life from her mind, stroke by stroke.
I originally thought that the military book Xie Shaoheng was looking for in her was the one she had written herself. Every stroke was full of power and every word was as sharp as a sword.
She seemed to have returned to that war-torn era, and the heroic figures of her father and brother appeared before her eyes. She clearly remembered every detail of that battle, every scream, every swing of the sword, every moment of life and death.
Her tears couldn't help but fall down and drip onto the paper, slowly smoothing out the blurred characters.
She originally thought that the military book Xie Shaoheng was looking for in her was the one she had written herself, but now she realized that what he wanted was the book hidden in the secret compartment.
Fortunately, Xie Shaoheng thought that her title of "The First Female Military Advisor in the Northwest" was due to Shen's military manual, which Shen Zhiyi always carried with her.
That's why we didn't launch a massive search after wiping out the entire Shen family. If this thing fell into Xie Shaoheng's hands, the consequences would be disastrous.
Because of my own negligence, I almost leaked it.
She held the pen tightly and swore in her heart that in this life, she would protect this military book and prevent it from falling into the wrong hands.
