Wealth and glory seek stability

The Xuanwu Dynasty had four capitals, eight tribes, thirty-six cities, and seventy-two grasslands, which were divided into four regions: east, west, south, and north.

The Saibei grassland belongs to the Southern Region. It is the largest and most complex grassland in the Southern Region. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and is suitable for development.

The office of the chief official.

Jian Xi looked at the position behind her. Mo Chuan always stood quietly behind her, but now he was gone.

Youyou sighed and picked up the file on the table and started reading.

Very light footsteps were accompanied by the sound of a crisp bell. "Sir, Master Gao is outside the door. He said he wants to see you for something important."

The attendant added with an embarrassed look: "Master Gao doesn't look well."

It's not just bad, it's as if someone owes him eight hundred taels of silver.

It was Jian Xi's rule that servants should wear bells around their waists. All servants serving in the study room of the master's mansion must wear bells to prevent secrets from being eavesdropped.

Jian Xi said calmly: "Let him in."

"Yes."

Gao Yunhuai, dressed in white, slammed the letter in his hand on the table and angrily asked, "Why do you want to divorce suddenly?"

Jian Xi leaned back in her chair, motionless as a mountain, "We are not suitable."

Gao Yunhuai gritted his teeth, "Just because I didn't save you? You know I didn't have time to run over to save you at that distance, so I had to save Zhang Cen'er."

Of course Jian Xi knew that this had nothing to do with Gao Yunhuai, but she still felt uncomfortable.

"I know, so we are not suitable."

Gao Yunhuai walked to the side dejectedly, sat on a chair, turned his head and looked at Jian Xi's face, which had not smiled sincerely since the incident in Wang Ting, "I know you blame me."

Jian Xi shook her head, impatience flashing across her face, "I don't blame you. I told you that we are not suitable for each other. The divorce is just to inform you, not to ask for your opinion, understand?"

Gao Yunhuai looked frustrated, "I don't think this is a reason."

Jian Xi stood up and unfolded the divorce letter. "If you don't agree, I will write you a divorce letter. Qingxi is your daughter. I won't stop you from seeing her. From now on, we have nothing to do with each other whether we get married or not."

Gao Yunhuai knew that Jian Xi was always stubborn and could not change her mind even if she made up her mind. He said helplessly, "Can't you even give me a random excuse?"

Jian Xi frowned, "I don't like it, I'm tired of it, is this okay? My original intention was to have a child of my own. We respect each other but there is no unforgettable friendship.

Now I just want to govern Saibei well. You are a young man with talent, and there are countless families who want to marry you. I believe that many families will be willing to give their daughters to you as concubines. I don't want to have to drink concubine tea at that time, so it is better to break up now."

Gao Yunhuai took a deep breath and laughed in anger, "Okay, okay, that's how you think of me. When I married you, I said I would never take a concubine in this life, only you, this is not a reason."

Jian Xi's mind was churning.

"I have decided to stay in Saibei for the rest of my life. Are you willing to leave everything in Xia Kingdom behind and stay with me in the Xuanwu Dynasty?"

She will have to move to the imperial capital in the future. If she continues to have close contacts with Gao Yunhuai, the powerful official at the center of power in the Xia Kingdom, Zhang Cen'er will surely be wary of her.

At that time, whether she gave up her power and followed Gao Yunhuai to live a stable life or Gao Yunhuai gave up everything to be with her, the two countries would not agree, unless they lived in seclusion together.

They are exposed to so many secrets, so many that it makes people fearful.

Gao Yunhuai hesitated, and now he suddenly understood Jian Xi's concerns.

The two of them are really not suitable.

It is absolutely impossible for him to give up the power in his hands. He has offended too many people. If he loses his power, not only will he be in trouble, but also the business of the Chamber of Commerce under the Gao family, the people who have some connection with the Gao family, and Jian Xi's previous friends in Xia Country will be implicated.

That would undoubtedly be a catastrophic disaster.

Jian Xi gently placed the folded divorce letter on the small table next to Gao Yunhuai, "I know you are not the kind of person who would give up everything for love. We have too many people behind us who need to be protected. We can't be willful. My brother has helped me a lot. He has resigned his military power and gone into seclusion. Now I am his support."

Gao Yunhuai knew that there was no going back.

His bony hands reached out for the thin paper and he smiled miserably, "I was confused, Xi'er, you are really heartless."

Jian Xi turned her back and said coldly, "It's not that I'm heartless, but I've let go of many things. I can also choose to abandon everything and choose to rely on you, entrusting my life and my brother's family to you. I made such a mistake before. I don't want to have that feeling of being in a whirlpool and longing for redemption again in my life."

The thin body stood straight and proud, the delicate hair crown was only outlined with gold wire and embellished with gems. She tilted her head slightly to reveal her beautiful eyebrows and eyes, "You are also very heartless, aren't you?"

Some things are not good to say.

Love is something that only the best of the best can afford.

Only now did Jian Xi understand the true meaning of this sentence.

Mediocrities are always confined to weighing the pros and cons, and are always trapped in a corner due to many unavoidable reasons.

Gao Yunhuai seemed not to want to face Jian Xi's sharp words, so he left with the wrinkled divorce letter in his hand.

Jian Xi sneered, "Finally, we don't have to pretend to be friendly just to get something."

Laughing endlessly.

A clear tear slipped from the corner of his eye.

Sufficient money and power can give people full confidence. If Jian Xi wants to keep everything she has, she must give up something. If a person is too greedy and wants to have everything in his hands, he will end up losing everything.

In the past, Jian Xi was not unaware of Shen Nanxing's ignorant feelings for her, but she pretended not to know and even personally found a Yue family for him that could provide him with support.

She has been lonely since childhood and knows how difficult it is to make a living. When faced with the choice between love and living a good life, she will definitely choose the latter.

Although it is a moving story to accompany each other through life and death, she is a social animal and has never forgotten her original intention.

Live a good and healthy life.

In my previous life, I worked in a company and was fed up with having to endure humiliation under my boss.

The Wu'an Palace was a place where people completely abandoned their dignity in exchange for the capital to survive.

After growing up, he moved to another place for various reasons and continued to work hard on everything.

Women in the Xuanyuan Dynasty have always been concerned about their husbands being the backbone. Although Gao Yunhuai is considerate, she always has to keep a balance in her heart when she is with him, and she cannot be said to be truly free and at ease.

Only when you have experienced the joy of being alone, can you realize how crowded life is for two people.

Anyway, now that she has a child of her own, she already has a connection in this world.

I don't want to continue to wrong myself.

After Gao Yunhuai left.

Jian Xi ordered the embroiderer to make clothes quickly, mostly in strong and heavy colors.

Zhang Cen'er was thinking about Jian Xi, so she sent countless jewels and rare treasures to the northern frontier, and every time she sent a letter, she would add a sentence urging Jian Xi to return to the imperial capital.
