She loses if she divorces, the reborn mistress only divorces her husband

These words were like a knife stabbing into Yeqilu's heart, completely shattering his seemingly tough exterior.

Looking at the contempt and disdain on Li Jingwan's face, Ye Qilu felt ashamed and embarrassed for the first time.

"Your Highness, this kind of person is not worth getting angry with." Li Jingwan said, "He has no ability to win, and he can't afford to lose. Why waste time with him? Let's go."

Chu Tingyu retracted his foot, looked at him as if he were a dead object, and then walked out with Li Jingwan.

Watching their departing backs, Yeqilu clenched his fists and then unclenched them.

All the hard work of these years was completely shattered by her few casual words.

Yeqilu clenched and unclenched his fists, feeling powerless.

-

On the day the peace talks ended, the captured Western Rong soldiers were released in batches empty-handed, and Yeqilu set out on the journey back to Western Rong with the negotiation delegation.

That night, the peace negotiation delegation had already entered Xirong, and everyone relaxed a lot.

Late at night, Yeqilu, who was sitting in his room drinking alone, suddenly felt a sharp, piercing pain in his abdomen.

He wanted to call for help, but when he opened his mouth no sound came out.

Then he felt his body go weak and he fell off the stool due to exhaustion.

He immediately realized that he had been poisoned.

Who wants his life?

At this moment, the door was pushed open, a man walked in, closed the door gently, and then came to him.

Yeqilu's eyes suddenly widened.

The masked man in front of him was Wu Shilie's military advisor Wu Di.

Ever since he followed Wu Shilie, he has caused him a lot of trouble.

But Ye Qilu was no longer able to speak and could only glare at Qin Chongxiao angrily.

Qin Chongxiao extinguished the candle on the table and then spoke.

"Ye Qilu, three years ago you defeated the Northwest Army using the battle strategy that Gao Yuanjia leaked to you. In that battle, more than 28,000 soldiers died, and I was one of them."

Yeqilu opened his mouth in shock, still unable to utter a word.

"I have come here today to take your life and avenge the deaths of more than 28,000 of my brothers."

Qin Chongxiao pulled a knife from his sleeve, and the blade flashed in the moonlight.

"I will kill you and then escape. The people of Xirong will naturally think that it was Wu Shilie who ordered me to do this. Then, your remaining forces will avenge you."

Yeqilu immediately understood his intention.

Five important cities had originally been taken away from the Western Rong. The five tribes had long been ambitious and would not easily hand over the occupied cities. In addition, the Western Rong had to pay indemnities and tributes, which seriously damaged its vitality and weakened its national strength.

In addition, his death would inevitably lead to a fierce struggle between Wu Shilie and his faction, resulting in endless internal strife.

Chu Tingyu's move was really too cruel.

No wonder Chu Tingyu looked at him as if he was looking at a corpse before he left.

It turned out that Chu Tingyu had planned all this long ago.

In the face of Yeqilu's unwilling eyes, Qin Chongxiao killed him with a knife. After leaving clues related to himself, he quickly left and rushed towards Tacheng.

When it was just getting light, he finally reached the border.

Not far ahead, Chu Tingyu and Li Jingwan were waving at him.

His life finally had a new chapter.

-

Qin Chongxiao followed them to Prince Jing's residence and immediately went to see Li Dingzheng.

Li Jingwan had already told Li Dingzheng about Qin Chongxiao.

Although his memory had not yet recovered, Li Dingzheng felt some movement in his heart when Qin Chongxiao hugged him tightly.

He reached out and hugged Qin Chongxiao back, "Chongxiao, we are both alive."

Qin Chongxiao had just calmed down when Xu Rui came with a medicine box in his hand.

He had just learned of Qin Chongxiao's identity and was excited to meet him.

Then, he patted the medicine box and said, "If I can't cure your face, I won't be named Xu."

"Forget it." Qin Chongxiao didn't care. "It's been several years. It doesn't matter if it can't be cured."

"Brother Qin, you have to trust Dr. Xu," Li Jingwan advised, "and the wound on your face hasn't been there for long, less than three years, so there's a chance it can be cured."

Chu Tingyu also said, "Chongxiao, now that you are cured, you don't have to wear a mask, and you don't have to worry about the people from Xirong finding you."

After their persuasion, Qin Chongxiao finally took the mask.

When Li Jingwan saw the scar on his face, her nose felt sore.

Several thick, red and swollen scars almost run through the face, which looks very scary. It is not difficult to imagine how painful it was at that time.

"It's okay, it's okay." Xu Rui took a closer look and gave them confidence, "It's just a common scratch. You have been taking medicine, so it can be cured."

He laughed again and said, "When Chongxiao's face is healed, Prince Jing will be in danger. By then, all the unmarried women in the capital will have to change their targets."

Everyone laughed, and the atmosphere immediately eased a lot.

Chu Tingyu said at this time, "Ten days later, we will set off to return to Beijing."

"Has it been decided?" Li Jingwan asked.

"Yes." Chu Tingyu nodded, "According to the secret letter sent by the Emperor, we will return to the capital ten days after the peace talks are signed."

They had been away from Beijing for many days, from early winter to early summer, and Li Jingwan also wanted to go back.

Take my brother home together.

After deciding on the itinerary to return to Beijing, everyone got busy.

Chu Tingyu naturally had a lot of important matters to deal with, while Xu Rui was busy treating the scars on Qin Chongxiao's face. Li Dingzheng now had an opponent of equal strength and often played chess with Qin Chongxiao.

Li Jingwan started to handle the business in the northwest.

In nearly a year, Shunchang Trading Company and Shunchang Escort Agency became famous in Tacheng and even the entire Northwest, and their business was booming.

One day, when she was busy discussing the expansion of the business with Xiang Mingfang, Bai Yiyi came to her.

As soon as she opened her mouth, she said, "Sister Xiaowan, I will go back to Beijing with you."

"Did your father agree?" Li Jingwan asked.

"Of course." Bai Yiyi nodded heavily. "I said I wanted to expand the Bai family's business to Beijing. My snob dad knew you would definitely help me, so he agreed immediately."

"Besides..." Bai Yiyi took her arm, "I can't bear to leave you, Sister Xiaowan."

"Okay, let's go back together." Li Jingwan tapped her forehead, "I have a sister named Huirou, who is about your age. You two will definitely become good friends."

"That's great, Sister Xiaowan." Bai Yiyi hugged her hand tightly and acted coquettishly, "I knew you would agree."

Two days before departure, news came from the dungeon that the poison in Qin Lingyun's body had worsened and she died of vomiting blood in the middle of the night.

When Xu Rui rushed over to treat her, her body had already become stiff.

Chu Tingyu didn't care about it.

Anyway, Qin Lingyun has been announced dead to the public. It would actually be better if she died. After all, she is a reborn person. Saying it out loud would only cause more trouble.

Moreover, if he wanted to bring down Chu Tingjue, he didn't need Qin Lingyun, but the testimony of Wenda, the traitor, was enough.

Two days later, everything was ready.

Li Jingwan and Chu Tingyu rode their horses side by side and left amid the reluctant farewell of the people of Tacheng.

-

The news of Chu Tingyu's return to Beijing soon reached Chu Tingjue's ears.

He immediately called Jiang Micheng to discuss the matter.

He must seize this last chance, otherwise once Chu Tingyu returns to Beijing, it would be like letting a tiger return to the mountains, causing endless troubles.

By then, it would be almost impossible to bring down Chu Tingyu.
