Cannon fodder She is targeted by yanderes in every dimension

Chapter 746: Scheming Cousin and Cold-blooded General 22

*

The palace has been blocked off. The rebels, the imperial guards, and the guards brought by Xiao Siyan are all inside. Most of the officials' families, the elderly, the weak, women and children have been escorted out of the palace.

The news was not spread too far, so as to avoid causing a panic among the people in the capital that would be difficult to deal with.

The door of the Prime Minister's Mansion was closed. Prime Minister Ji insisted on protecting the emperor in the palace. Ji Chi, the only son, took the responsibility consciously.

The Ji family originally wanted to find Yun Wu and leave the palace together, but the scene was too chaotic and no one could be seen. Ji Chi had to protect the women of the Ji family and return to the prime minister's residence first.

Afterwards, he hurriedly wanted to go back to the palace to look for Yun Wu, but unexpectedly, Yun Wu was sent back by Bai Zhu just as he walked out of the gate.

There was also a small team of secret guards sent by Xiao Siyan who were guarding around the prime minister's residence.

As night fell, the atmosphere in the entire prime minister's residence seemed very heavy. Madam Ji was so worried about Prime Minister Ji that she couldn't even eat dinner. Ji Yao accompanied her in chanting scriptures and praying in the Buddhist temple.

Aunt Zhao was so scared that she kept crying in the room. Ji Chi had no choice but to comfort her patiently.

Yun Wu returned to the small courtyard where she lived. Liuyue brought her dinner but she shook her head and said she had no appetite.

"Don't worry, Miss. The Fourth Prince and Lord Ji are both in the palace. There are so many guards and soldiers. Nothing will happen..."

"The rebels came suddenly, I was afraid..."

Yun Wu paused and said no more. For the first time, her fair and soft face showed such a solemn and heavy expression.

She was afraid of what if...what if she lost? When the country changed hands, Xiao Siyan would definitely not have an easy life after Xiao Yichen took over, and the Ji family might also be in calamity.

"Miss, take a look at these gold and silver jewels, maybe you'll feel better..."

Liuyue spoke quickly, but Yunwu just glanced at him gloomily and nodded absentmindedly, but still did not move. She sat in front of the couch with one hand supporting her head in a daze.

Seeing that Yun Wu looked worried, Liuyue didn't say anything more and just quietly left the room.

She has always understood her young lady. She used to love counting gold, silver and treasures, but today she didn't even have the heart to look at these things.

It can be seen that the young lady is really interested in His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince...

Under the dim candlelight, Yun Wu did not return to the inner bedroom to rest. She held her head and thought absentmindedly about all sorts of things. As she was thinking, she closed her eyes and fell asleep.

She had a confused dream in which Xiao Siyan knew the purpose of her approaching him, and also knew that she was greedy for money and wanted his power and wealth.

In the dream, Xiao Siyan was very angry and asked her why he lied to her. This scared Yun Wu so much that tears welled up in her eyes even in her sleep.

Because in the dream, Xiao Siyan not only took revenge on her, but also took back all the gold, silver and treasures he gave her! She was driven out of the prime minister's mansion and lived a miserable life without a penny.

After sleeping soundly for a few hours, Yun Wu woke up from a nightmare late at night and heard some noise coming from outside. Soon, Liu Yue ran in with a look of joy and almost tripped over the threshold.

"Miss! The Fourth Prince and Master Ji are back!"

Yun Wu had just woken up from her sleep and was still a little dazed. The dream was so real that tears welled up in the corners of her eyes.

She was stunned at first, then she reacted and ran out quickly, throwing away all the etiquette that she had learned as a lady from a noble family.

Yun Wu had just run out of the yard when she saw Xiao Siyan. He hurried over from the front corridor. His clothes were stained with blood, and his cold and handsome face looked a little embarrassed.

From a distance, it seemed that Xiao Siyan's arm was injured. He walked down the corridor and stopped where he was.

Her eyes instantly turned red, and she lifted her skirt and ran over without a care in the world, throwing herself into Xiao Siyan's arms.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

"I smell of blood..."

Xiao Siyan's low voice sounded a little embarrassed, but the girl in his arms suddenly cried sadly, so he had to hug her back with somewhat awkward movements.

"It's okay, the rebels have surrendered."

Yun Wu threw herself into Xiao Siyan's arms and cried for a long time before she raised her head with sobs and looked carefully at his arm that was still bleeding.

"You are hurt?"

"It's just a scratch, nothing serious."

Xiao Siyan said that he had been injured more seriously on the battlefield before, so he didn't care about such a small wound now.

Thinking of the dream she had, Yun Wu cried even harder. Her eyes were red from crying, as were her nose and cheeks. She wiped her tears, sniffed her nose, and sobbed:

"Xiao, Xiao Siyan, I'm going to be honest with you, can you...can you not retaliate against me?"

Xiao Siyan obviously didn't understand and could not help but frowned slightly, but his beautiful wife who hadn't married yet cried even more sadly and said pitifully:

"I did have other purposes when I approached you at the beginning, and I agreed to marry you because I was attracted by your status and position, as well as your wealth. I like wealth the most..."

Yun Wu sniffed and said, tears welling up in her eyes. She grasped Xiao Siyan's sleeve and looked up at him cautiously.

"But I later realized that it wasn't all because of those reasons that I wanted to be with you. I would be very worried about you and care about you so much that I didn't even have the mood to count money..."

After Yun Wu finished speaking, she lowered her head and closed her eyes, waiting for Xiao Siyan's response. Suddenly, she heard him say:

"I always knew."

Yun Wu raised her head in surprise. Xiao Siyan's expression did not show the expected anger and indifference at all.

"I knew it from the beginning, but I... just liked it."

His voice was deep, and his stern face seemed to be flushed. He seldom said such corny words and felt a little embarrassed.

"Then you won't retaliate against me?"

"will not."

"Then...will you take back the gold and silver treasures you gave me?"

Yun Wu stared at Xiao Siyan with her red eyes without blinking, and Xiao Siyan shook his head helplessly.

Because not only will he not take it back, he will give her more.

Yun Wu finally felt relieved, but her cheeks flushed because of having revealed her feelings just now. She lowered her head shyly and leaned into Xiao Siyan's arms.

"Although a lot of things happened today, I am very happy, Awu..."

Xiao Siyan's voice was low and pleasant. He then raised his hand and lifted Yun Wu's head. Her pink lips slightly opened and a somewhat dazed look caught Xiao Siyan's eyes.

His eyes darkened and he lowered his head and pecked Yun Wu's fair pink lips.

"Because you said you like me, too."

How can it not be a great joy when two people love each other?

Under the bright moonlight, Xiao Siyan and Yun Wu embraced each other, without any suspicion or doubt, and the two made a promise to stay together for the rest of their lives.
