Xiao Zhan felt his throat tighten. Jiang Xue always teased him in her playful way, but he loved her just the way she was. When he returned to the capital, he would definitely spend time with her.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Xue continued to ask: "Yun Che, have you ever had such a beautiful dream?"

Indeed, he had, especially when he was not sure about her feelings, those sweet dreams often made him unforgettable for a long time.

Seeing his reaction, Jiang Xue chuckled: "Not saying anything means you agree. It turns out that the famous gentleman also has such a gentle side, just like me."

"Xiaoxue, I only act like this in front of you."

"I know." Jiang Xue suddenly stood up, walked to Xiao Zhan, leaned over gently, and left a light kiss on his lips.

"I like you to be less serious in front of me. The more real the better."

Xiao Zhan waved to Jiang Xue and said softly, "Come here, I have something to tell you."

Jiang Xue followed his instructions and moved closer. He whispered to her ear: "Little naughty boy, I will definitely teach you a lesson when we return to Beijing."

Jiang Xue, however, turned the tables and chuckled in his ear, "That's not certain. It's still unclear who will rule who."

These words made Xiao Zhan's expression become a little serious. Was she challenging...his authority?

Jiang Xue seemed not to notice his reaction. She sat back down, stopped playing chess, and her expression became serious.

“Yun Che, you should have met your second cousin, right?”

“Indeed, I have.”

Xiao Zhan replied: "His face was damaged and his memory was lost. He didn't recognize me at first. Only recently did he regain his memory. Xiaoxue, was it you or Fudong who mentioned the purple-red Huaying wine in front of him?"

Apart from them, he couldn't think of anyone else who could have any connection with his second cousin.

"That day, when Fudong and I were shopping, we smelled the aroma of a mutton restaurant. On a whim, we wanted to buy some to taste, and we found him by accident.

Even though he was wearing a mask, I immediately suspected it was him, so I asked Fudong to bump into him on purpose and mentioned the name of the wine.

Although he was only slightly stunned at the time, when I saw Yelu Minzhen's portrait, I confirmed my guess. Back then in Yangshan, he had saved Yelu Minzhen, and this fate began. "

"Now that he has remembered the past, what decision has he made?"

She paused and continued, "He is a famous general of Qian State, and I hope he can go back with us.

As for his feelings for Yelu Minzhen, I'm not too sure, but my second cousin Lin Yin has not had an easy life these years. She is virtuous and generous, managing the affairs of the mansion and also educating Feng Liangjue well.

Yelu Minzhen chose to conceal the truth even though she knew her second cousin was married. Even if this behavior was out of love, it was too selfish. "

"If he can't let go of Yelu Minzhen and chooses to stay here, we can just pretend we don't know him."

Xiao Zhan looked at her and added, "However, my second cousin did not make it clear whether he would go back, but he emphasized that he will always be a Qian countryman and deserves our trust."

Jiang Xue nodded and smiled: "As long as he has his homeland in mind, this sentence is enough. The rest of the choices are up to him."

Xiao Zhan nodded in agreement. In his heart, he also hoped that his second cousin could return with him, but he also respected his wishes.

"Regarding Yelu Jun, my second cousin promised to help me, so what are your plans?"

“It’s not easy to get close to Yelu Jun, but now with the help of my second cousin, things will be much easier.

I'll leave the antidote to you guys, I'll focus on creating chaos in Xixia, and we'll leave here once you get the antidote," Jiang Xue explained.

Xiao Zhan responded with approval, hoping to complete the mission as soon as possible, return to the capital, and restore everything to normal.

On the other side, Yelu Minzhen dragged his tired body back to the princess's mansion, his heart full of guilt and pain towards Feng Tianyu.

Yelu Minzhen asked the maid to prepare hot water, and when the warm water flowed through her body, she felt the pain in her body slightly relieved. But the pain deep in her heart was still difficult to calm down.

Her chest felt like it was being pressed down by a heavy stone, and it was difficult to breathe. She dived into the tub and didn't surface until she was almost suffocated.

Despite the humiliation, she felt it was all worth it because she was about to bring new life to the man she loved.

Before she met Feng Tianyu, her life as a princess was not going well.

Few people knew that she was not Yelu Shengkang's biological daughter. Her mother was pregnant when she entered the palace, and most people mistakenly believed that she was Yelu Shengkang's child.

Legend has it that her mother fought desperately to protect her, and she was eventually born safely.

As a child, she had enjoyed a happy time, with her loving mother doting on her and Yelu Shengkang being quite gentle to her. However, everything changed when she was thirteen years old.

Upon learning that the mother had been killed by Yelu Shengkang, she chose to commit suicide, with blood all over the floor. Yelu Shengkang was furious and ordered the body to be destroyed.

Two months later, the nightmare came. Yelu Shengkang summoned her to the imperial study and raped her.

At that moment, she realized that she was not his biological daughter, and that he hurt her out of revenge against her mother.

From then on, every day was a torment. She finally fled the palace and came to Yangshan to seek a new life.

Standing by the clear stream, she felt herself to be filled with filth and jumped into the water without hesitation, intending to die.

As fate would have it, she met Feng Tianyu, the man who became the turning point of her life.

He treated her very well, making her believe that although there were evil people like Yelu Shengkang in the world, there were also kind souls like him. Even though she knew he was already a husband and a father, she still fell hopelessly in love with him.

With courage, she confessed her love to him and offered to be his concubine in exchange for his companionship.

But he said it was just because her eyes reminded him of his sister, without any love. Heartbroken, she accepted the money he gave her and left.

In fact, she didn't care about money, she just wanted to stay with him.

After thinking for a long time, she decided to go back to find him, even if she could only be a maid, as long as she could see him, it would be enough.

On the way back, Yelu Shengkang's men found her and took her directly back to the capital of Western Xia.

He was extremely angry about her escape, so he tried every way to torture her, making her almost unbearable. But she knew that he would not really kill her, because her existence was a sustenance for his complicated emotions.

After being tortured once again, she endured the pain, stood up, smashed the teacup, and cut her wrists to commit suicide.

However, fate played a trick on her again and she was rescued. After being on the verge of life and death, a new hope ignited in her heart - to meet Feng Tianyu. This wish became her motivation to live.

One day, she accidentally saw a military intelligence report from the border in the imperial study, and learned that the Western Xia army was about to attack Yangshan. She was anxious and decided to meet Feng Tianyu no matter what.
