The third prince, Yelu Cheng, was not in the city, so his wife accepted the gift on his behalf without saying much.

When the gift was delivered to Yelu Minzhen, she was about to ask her servant to put it directly into the warehouse.

But Wanyan Yucheng showed great interest: "Minzhen, I'm curious about what Prime Minister Feng sent."

After saying that, he opened the box and saw a little fox carved from sandalwood. His brows unconsciously frowned.

"I think I've seen this thing somewhere."

Yelu Minzhen was shocked, but she tried to stay calm: "Acheng, this is just an ordinary sandalwood sculpture, the quality is average, why do you feel this way?"

However, Wanyan Yucheng's eyes became deep: "Since I lost my memory, this is the first time I have a sense of déjà vu. What do you think, is this a coincidence? Or does Prime Minister Feng know something?"

"Ah Cheng, Xiao Zhan has never been to Xixia, and you have never been to Qian Kingdom, so it is impossible for you to have ever met.

Maybe he gave the same gifts to other princes, and you may be overthinking it." Yelu Minzhen explained.

Despite this, Wanyan Yucheng fell into deep thought: “Although Xiao Zhan has never been to Xixia, I may have been to Qianguo.

My memory is blank, maybe I have really been there, and even met him. Otherwise, why was it only me who drank with him from a distance last night? "

"We all know that your Wanyan tribe has always lived in the north, and your ancestors strictly forbade any contact with outsiders.

If it weren't for that disaster, how could you have left the tribe? Therefore, it is impossible for you to have any contact with Xiao Zhan. "

Yelu Minzhen retorted.

Wanyan Yucheng frowned: "But what if I'm not Wanyan Yucheng, or even a member of the Wanyan tribe?"

Hearing this, Yelu Minzhen felt a little uneasy: "Acheng, what do you mean? It was me who saved you and helped you find out your identity.

Now you have these doubts because of a small sandalwood sculpture. Are you suspecting that I am lying to you?

Do you think you are from Qian Country and I tampered with your identity when you lost your memory?"

"Minzhen, I don't doubt you."

Wanyan Yucheng hugged her tightly: "You treat me better than anyone else, how could you lie to me? I was just troubled by this familiar feeling, so I had these unreasonable thoughts."

Yelu Minzhen snuggled in his arms and whispered, "Acheng, you must remember that in this world, I will always be your most solid support. Please believe me."

"Of course I believe you."

Wanyan Yucheng smiled gently: "Meeting you is my greatest luck."

Not only did she save his life, she helped him regain his identity, and even though his appearance was damaged, she still loved him deeply.

He shouldn't have such thoughts for a small sandalwood sculpture.

Yelu Minzhen raised her head from his arms and looked him straight in the eyes: "Acheng, meeting you is also the best thing in my life."

After that, she stood on tiptoe and kissed him gently on the lips.

Wanyan Yucheng smiled and picked her up, whispering in her ear: "Minzhen, give me a baby."

At this moment, the two people's hearts became closer.

Yelu Minzhen smiled bitterly, her heart filled with regret for not being able to give birth to a child for her lover Wanyan Yucheng.

She tried to remove the mask on his face, wanting to see the face covered with scars from the accident, but Wanyan Yucheng stopped her.

"Don't look," he said, a hint of uneasiness in his voice.

However, Min-jin's firm eyes and gentle words made him let down his guard: "I love you, and your appearance has nothing to do with it."

Finally, Wanyan Yucheng let go and let Minzhen take off the mask.

Faced with the hideous burn marks, Minzhen did not flinch. Instead, she gently stroked the scars with sympathy in her eyes.

"You must have suffered a lot."

She whispered that if she had found him earlier, she might have been able to alleviate his pain.

"Let bygones be bygones."

Wanyan Yucheng comforted him: "As long as we cherish the present, every day is a gift from God."

But he then added with a hint of anticipation: "It would be even more perfect if you could give me another child."

They had been married for five years but had no children, but Wanyan Yucheng always had hope.

"Give me a daughter, as beautiful as you, and I will love you all my life."

Wanyan Yucheng's eyes were full of anticipation.

Min-jin looked at him and nodded in agreement, even though she knew in her heart that this would probably just be another unfulfilled wish.

As the morning light fell, Jiang Xue gently pushed Fu Dong who was sleeping on her shoulder, reminding them that it was time to set off.

The gates leading to the Xixia capital were opened in the early morning, and the two men disguised themselves to avoid being recognized.

Fu Dong felt embarrassed for her negligence last night, but Jiang Xue comforted her and said, "You were too tired last night, so you deserve to rest for a while."

Afterwards, the two men walked towards the city gate, preparing to leave for Western Xia.

As soon as the soldiers guarding the city saw the disguised pustules on their faces, they hurriedly let them pass.

Just after taking a few steps, I heard a shout from behind: "Stop!"

The two women turned around and saw a man in the uniform of a Xixia general walking towards them.

Jiang Xue asked politely, "General, what do you want to talk to us sisters about?"

The general looked at them coldly and said sternly: "Who are you? Where are you going?"

"In reply to the general, I am Helian Zhen, and this is my sister Helian Yu."

Jiang Xue replied calmly, “We both unfortunately contracted a strange disease three months ago, and our faces are covered with these nasty lumps.

Although I have seen many doctors, there has been no improvement. Recently, I heard that there is a famous doctor in the capital who can treat various difficult diseases, so we decided to go there to seek medical treatment. "

Fu Dong quickly agreed: "Yes, we are worried about how to get married with such a face in the future."

Before that era of fragmentation, there was a great emperor who unified the country and implemented many reforms, including the standardization of language.

Although there are still accent differences in different places, most people can understand each other.

Jiang Xue and Fu Dong had lived in the northern border for a long time and had learned the authentic Xixia accent, which made the generals less suspicious of their identities.

However, out of caution, he ordered the soldiers to prepare a basin of clean water and let the two sisters wash their faces to verify the authenticity of the illness.

The two washed their faces with clean water without hesitation. The pustules looked even worse after washing. The people around them turned their heads away, unwilling to look at this uncomfortable sight.

Seeing this, the general waved his hand to signal them that they could leave.

After leaving the city gate and walking a few miles, Jiang Xue made sure it was safe. She took out a small porcelain bottle from her arms, poured out two pills, and each of them swallowed one.

In order to sneak into the territory of Western Xia, they took poison in advance and deliberately caused skin problems as part of their disguise.

True disguise does not lie in changing one's appearance, but in the courage to sacrifice oneself.
