The Female General and Xiao Fu's Wife
Chapter 67[67]
"Xiuyan, do you think we can still go out?" Aria curled up, sitting with her knees hugged, shivering from the cold, her voice trembling.
"Yes, definitely." In the darkness, Su Xiuyan's voice was panting.
......
A few hours ago, the two of them encountered an avalanche on the mountainside, and the heavy snow accumulated on the snowy mountain slid down layer by layer. At that moment, it seemed as if the sky would collapse and the earth would collapse. In a panic, Su Xiuyan took Aria to hide in the nearest In the cave, there was a big turmoil outside, which was very ear-piercing.Fear filled the air.
The entrance of the cave was tightly blocked, and it was unknown whether it was the deep snow or the falling rocks. At first, the two of them tried hard to dig out, but both of them were exhausted, their hands were red from the cold, and it still didn't work. I had no choice but to stop and gather my strength.
There is not much space in the cave and there is not enough oxygen. If you take a big breath, you will feel short of breath and dizzy.
It was pitch black inside, and she couldn't see her fingers. Su Xiuyan had never encountered such a situation. Although she appeared not to be afraid on the surface, she still couldn't help but worry in her heart. What if they couldn't get out? What if no one could find them What should I do here? Didn't she implicate Aria?
She pretended to be calm on the surface, just to prevent Aria from getting more flustered and to calm her down.
As the night deepened, the surroundings became terribly quiet, occasionally hearing the howling of wild wolves outside the cave, and the two girls trembled in their hearts.
"Xiuyan, did you hear anything?" Aria was trembling.
"Listen, I heard it." Su Xiuyan stroked her arm, feeling hairy in her heart.
At this moment, there was a rustling sound outside the entrance of the cave, which sounded like the footsteps of animals. The first reaction in Su Xiuyan's mind was the howling wolf, and she held her breath.
Things like wolves are not uncommon in Aria in their Western Regions, including herself. She has successfully hunted them before, but now the two of them are obviously at a disadvantage. If they attract the attention of wolves, this kind of group living Animals will immediately call a group of helpers to break through the snowdrift and swallow them into their stomachs.
But fortunately, Su Xiuyan and Aria were very knowledgeable about the times and had a tacit understanding. When the wolf was looking around the entrance of the cave, they tried their best to keep calm and not make a sound. Sure enough, it didn't take long before there was no movement.
"It should be gone." Aria whispered.
"Let's go." Su Xiuyan returned, she stretched out her hand in one direction in the darkness, trying to touch her, "Aria, are you there?"
Aria also stretched out her hand and fluttered, and the two people's hands touched together in the darkness. Su Xiuyan held her hand tightly without hesitation, "Aria, come to my side."
After a while, a movement was heard, and then a cold body approached. Su Xiuyan warmed her with his own body, moved closer to her, and put his arms around her shoulders.
Aria didn't expect that Su Xiuyan's body would be warm in such an environment, and she couldn't help but want to get closer, which might be an instinctive reaction of her body.
"My father said that in extremely cold places, it would be better for two people to take off their clothes and warm each other with their limbs." Su Xiuyan stammered.
Aria couldn't help blushing, but fortunately no one could see it in this situation, "It's better...I don't need it, I feel much better."
"Oh..." Su Xiuyan swallowed, "If you still feel cold, you can tell me, after this night, someone will come to see us tomorrow."
"Yeah." Aria responded softly.
With Aria and herself cuddling each other, the temperature between the two of them rose rapidly. Su Xiuyan had a three-point fire since she was a child, that is, a hot body. She would get hot when she moved a little, and she could sweat when she slept under the quilt in winter.
In addition, Aria who was asleep shook her head from time to time, and the needle-thin hair was flicking back and forth around her neck like this. Su Xiuyan only felt hot and hot all over her body, so she turned her head away. The exotic fragrance lingering at the tip of her nose is even more addictive, she even wants to just crush her under her body and take it as her own, completely possessing it.
But...Su Xiuyan turned her head, took a deep breath, and endured it.
She is not the kind of villain who takes advantage of other people's danger. That kind of thing has to be done in an atmosphere of love between two people, so that it has meaning and feeling.
Convincing myself over and over again in this way finally suppressed the fire in my heart.
The next day.
The situation between the DPRK and China fell into tension for a while, Shen Zhaoxue's proposal to reconcile with Sima Yun was also written up, and now it is presented to His Majesty.
Xiao Qi finished reading the memorial, put her hands together, and stared at all the ministers in front of her eyes, "About this matter, I would like to hear Ai Qing's opinion from the audience."
After the words fell, all the officials below looked at me and I looked at you. After a small chatter, one of them stood up.
"Your Majesty, I have something to say. I believe that General Sima and Third Miss Shen were married according to the late emperor's edict, and they cannot be separated. It is against the imperial edict. The late emperor may know..."
Just then, another official stepped forward.
"I don't agree with Lord Li's point of view. Heli has been in our country's laws for hundreds of years. This is a right that every ordinary person should enjoy, even noble officials are no exception."
"Lord Wei." Shen Qiwen suddenly stood up and spoke, "As the father of the little girl, I do not agree with this reconciliation. The first reason is to obey the last emperor's edict, and the second reason is to obey the current emperor's edict."
Sima Boyi smiled, "Master Shen, since you are the father of Zhaoxue's child, shouldn't you respect the child's opinion even more? Is it possible...you and your wife do not welcome the child home. As far as I know, The concubine Zhaoxue was not welcomed in the mansion before."
.....
All of a sudden, the court became a little chaotic.
People from the prime minister's school and Sima Boyi have been arguing endlessly about this issue.
Xiao Qi couldn't take it anymore, and raised her hand to signal silence.
"Since everyone is arguing about this and can't come up with the most favorable solution, I think we should let the two of them make their own decisions." After all, whether this marriage can be reconciled smoothly or not, everything has not yet been determined, but he has Hearing the news, Sima Yun had been away from home for several days because of this.
"Your Majesty, you cannot disobey the late emperor's edict."
"Your Majesty, you must abide by the laws of our country."
"..."
Unexpectedly, this group of people is still reluctant.
Xiao Qi raised her hand and said with a serious expression, "Okay, don't talk about it anymore, this problem will be over like this. If you have something to play, you will leave the court if there is nothing to do."
Unexpectedly, the final outcome would lead to such a development, and Sima Boyi, who was few and far between, won a complete victory.
When he came out facing down, Shen Qiwen's face was very ugly. When Sima Boyi passed by, he gritted his teeth and muttered, "You're not so proud."
Sima Boyi chuckled, "..." After thinking about it, he felt that there was nothing to talk to him about, so he simply walked down the stairs.
This made Shen Qiwen even more angry. At this moment, the prime minister unknowingly came behind him, leaned over and whispered a reminder in his ear, "Don't worry, he won't be proud for long."
Just after the court ceremony, before Xiao Qi had time to return to the harem, she saw Su Changjin rushing over with a group of court ladies and fathers-in-law, "Your Majesty."
"What's the matter, I'm in a hurry." Xiao Qi was puzzled.
"That's right, Princess Qiuci's servant said that she didn't return after leaving the palace yesterday, and this concubine wanted to report this matter to His Majesty as soon as possible."
Xiao Qi's face changed greatly when she heard this, "Why did you notify now," she said, and immediately ordered the imperial guards beside her, "Go down immediately and dispatch a few teams to search the whole city. You must find someone, and if you can't find them in the city, send them back I'm going out of town to look for it!"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Your Majesty, is there anything wrong with the princess?" Su Changjin looked nervous and worried.
"I hope it's okay." Xiao Qi's mood is not much better. This princess of Kucha is no small matter. If something goes wrong, how can I explain it to the king of Kucha? Maybe it will trigger a war between the two countries. , when the time comes, the people will suffer and mourn.
----
"Xiuyan, I'm so hungry."
"Me too."
Su Xiuyan stroked her stomach that was growling from hunger. Since she went out yesterday, she hasn't had a drop of water or a single grain of rice.
Aria pursed her lips, "Why hasn't anyone come to find us..."
"Someone will definitely come, there will definitely be." Su Xiuyan gritted her teeth, she would not give up hope.
"Are we going to die here?" She looked at Su Xiuyan's profile.
Su Xiuyan also turned her head to meet her eyes, and said with a slight smile, "Are you afraid?"
Aria thought about it seriously, "If I was alone, I might be afraid, but with you as my company, it doesn't seem so scary."
Su Xiuyan couldn't help stretching out her hand to touch her head, and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, there's still me here."
As she said that, she stood up and walked to the entrance of the cave, and continued to use the stones in the ground to shovel snow. Although she didn't eat, she had at least some strength after a night's rest. How would she know if she didn't try? Only then can we know whether we can pick the light with our own hands.
Seeing that Su Xiuyan was working so hard, Aliya also got up and went to help. The two of them shoveled the snow together and kept digging in the same place, but finally they touched the stone wall.
I can't dig anymore...
Aria immediately became discouraged, "The entrance of the cave is indeed blocked by a big rock, so we can't get out."
"Don't be discouraged, since it's a rock that fell from above, there must be a gap between it and the entrance of the cave, as long as you find that gap..." Su Xiuyan still didn't give up, groping for a place where there might be a gap, and continued to go out dig down.
With Su Xiuyan's persistence and perseverance, Aria was greatly encouraged, and she decided not to give up until the last moment.
----
"Man, have you heard about your general and wife?"
"This guest officer, you mean..." Xiao An scratched her head.
"It's reconciliation. Didn't your general's wife propose a reconciliation with the general? Will your store still have products from the Western Regions in the future?"
"Don't worry about this, the supply of goods will not be interrupted and will not affect your consumption." Xiao An explained patiently.
"Hey, Rachel, why are you here!" Looking up, she saw that Rachel was rushing to the store, and now this incident was full of uproar, everyone was talking about it, and Madam didn't come to the store for several days, Xiao An was a little worried.
"Miss won't let me follow her, so I came to the store to help you." After Rachel finished speaking, she lowered her head in frustration.
While the customers in the store were picking out the goods, Little An pulled Rachel over and asked in a low voice, "Madam and General...how is the situation?"
"What else can I do... The general has never returned to the mansion, and the young lady is sitting in front of the yard waiting every night, what should you do if this continues." Rachel was in a state of anxiety.
"What do you think I can help?" Xiao An asked.
Rachel shook her head, "There's nothing I can do, let alone you."
"I hope Madam and the general can survive this calamity!"
"It's useless to say anything now, I just hope for a happy ending."
The imperial guards were sweeping all the streets in the capital, and there was quite a commotion. Rachel went to the door and looked around, "What happened?"
Xiao An also followed, "I don't know, those people look like Imperial Guards in the palace."
"You know all this?" Rachel was surprised.
Xiao An scratched her head in embarrassment, "I accidentally saw it before."
"Oh..." Rachel didn't care.
After a while, several imperial guards found their shop, without saying a word, the menacing comer didn't care about it and left after searching, making everyone dumbfounded and didn't know what was going on.
In just half an hour, the entire city has been searched with extremely high efficiency, and now the imperial guards have already searched around the outskirts of the city.
Su Xiuyan's tongue was dry and her arms were sore, but she didn't dare to stop, she was afraid that once she stopped, she would no longer have the courage and confidence to continue, so she murmured, "It's almost here, soon." Encourage yourself, while encouraging Aria.
At this moment, Aliya suddenly came to her and squatted down, holding a piece of snow in her hand, stretched it out to her, "Xiuyan, eat this."
Su Xiuyan looked disgusted, "How can this be eaten?"
Seeing that she was unwilling, Aria twisted a piece and put it into her mouth. It was so cold that she couldn't help shivering, and then she said, "You can eat it, eat it."
Under her encouragement, Su Xiuyan drank some snow water and became less thirsty.
At this moment, there seemed to be a noise coming from outside the cave, footsteps everywhere, and faint shouts of "Princess, Princess..." from time to time.
Su Xiuyan suddenly became motivated to fight, and hurriedly dug along the gap, while calling Aria, "Quick, let's dig quickly, someone is here."
When it was dug through, Su Xiuyan shouted towards the gap, "We are here, we are here...."
The imperial guards were quickly attracted, and they worked together to pry the big rock blocking the entrance of the cave, and Su Xiuyan and Aria were finally rescued.
After being suppressed in this cave for nearly a day and a night, the moment when the light was regained, it was like living again. Aria and Su Xiuyan hugged each other almost without hesitation, weeping with joy.
Almost thought I was going to die.
But luckily you are here.
After this time of life and death, the relationship between Alia and Su Xiuyan is one step closer. Of course, she was also banned by the Duke. After all, it was because of her that Princess Kucha was in trouble and must be punished.
Several days later, the general still failed to return home. Shen Zhaoxue did not give up on waiting, but secretly hid a tiny bit of hope in her heart. , Only then did he escape on the pretext of being busy with military affairs.
Sima Yun was in the training ground, besides drinking, he still drank, drank at night and slept during the day, and his life was muddled and dark.
Wei Xue really couldn't stand it anymore, went in and scolded her. Although it was scolding, it was just to wake her up.
"General, look at your appearance now, you don't look like a human, you don't look like a ghost!"
"Can't you be tougher, whether it's reconciliation or disagreement, you have to give them an answer. Do you think it's the best way to delay?"
"General, I have been with you for these years, and this is the first time I am disappointed in you."
After finishing speaking, Wei Xue was so angry that she opened the curtain of the tent and rushed out.
"Hey, what's wrong with Wei Xue, why do I seem to be listening, you scolded the general!" Qin Sun grabbed her curiously.
Wei Xue was getting angry, her chest was heaving violently, "I scolded a person who was trying to pretend not to wake up!" After speaking, she strode away with big legs.
Qin Sun secretly felt scared, is this woman so scary when she gets angry? Wei Xue even dared to scold the general...
She doesn't want to care about morality or family fate.
Sima Yun has suppressed her identity for too long, and also suppressed her emotions for too long. Perhaps it was Wei Xue's phone call that woke her up. She used to think that it would be good to just protect her beloved in obscurity, but now she feels that , this may not be the happiness that Zhaoxue wants most, but it is hurting her.
She also wants to risk everything and let go of all burdens and psychological burdens... to love like that once, just once.
Sima Yun secretly clenched his fists and clenched his teeth. Not only did she miss that petite and soft body day and night, she really wanted to hug her tightly, hug her tightly, rub her into her arms, into her body.
Once this moment came, her brain couldn't control the endless burst of thoughts and desires, she wanted to do too much.
She's already a little...can't wait.
Thinking of this, Sima Yun got up immediately, picked up his saber and walked out of the tent, just happened to bump into Qin Sun, and he asked, "General, what is this..."
"Go home." Sima Yun replied two words lightly, but sonorously and firmly.
----
Around dusk, the servant girls in the mansion rushed to tell each other. "The general is back, the general is back!"
When Shen Zhaoxue, who was sitting in a daze in the room, suddenly heard the news, she was anxious and rushed out, but accidentally tripped on the threshold and nearly fell.
Rachel rushed over excitedly to report, "Miss, the general is back."
Shen Zhaoxue patted her clothes, pretending to be calm, and replied blankly, "It's just right when I'm back, I'll let the general write and leave the book."
"Miss." Rachel said bitterly, "Does it have to be like this?"
At this moment, the sound of horseshoes came from the gate of the courtyard, Sima Yun rode in all the time, and had a panoramic view from above, Shen Zhaoxue subconsciously avoided her direct gaze.
Sima Yun came down and tied the horse, went straight to his room, and didn't come out after entering. Rachel saw that the lady was so impatient, and Shen Zhaoxue was also anxious.
After waiting for a while, I had no choice but to take the initiative to go in to find her with a pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
When Shen Zhaoxue knocked on the door and entered, Sima Yun seemed to be busy with something, pretending to be calm and asked, "Is there something wrong?"
For some reason, when facing her alone at this moment, Shen Zhaoxue lost her previous arrogance and stammered, "General...General, and Li Shu..."
Unexpectedly, as soon as the words were finished, Sima Yun suddenly turned around and stood in front of Shen Zhaoxue. The pressure of her height forced her not to raise her head to face her.
At such a close distance, Shen Zhaoxue's heart began to beat violently.
Plop... plop... plop...
"You really want to make peace with me, huh?" There was a voice above his head, like angry or ghostly, it was hard to guess.
Shen Zhaoxue turned her face away, and nodded without confidence.
But her flushed little face, as well as her guilty and nervous appearance, had already betrayed her.
After waiting for a long time, I finally waited for a word on the top of my head, lightly and without any emotion, "...Okay."
At the same time, Shen Zhaoxue's heart fell to the bottom of the valley again. Although she had been looking forward to it for so many days, it seemed that this was not the ending she really wanted in her heart. She almost couldn't help crying in front of the general. Shen Zhaoxue turned around and pulled her legs ran out.
Rachel stood quietly outside the house, neither stepped forward to persuade, nor stepped forward to comfort, she thought the lady didn't want to be disturbed at the moment.
After a while, I saw the general come out of the wing room and out of the yard.
Shen Zhaoxue lay on the bedside and sobbed softly, probably desperate in her heart.
A servant girl came over, she seemed to be looking for Shen Zhaoxue, but Rachel stopped her because it was inconvenient, she didn't want this servant girl to see the young lady's appearance at this moment, otherwise it would spread to the mansion again to admit that she was gossip .
"If you have anything to say, tell me first, and I will report."
Unexpectedly, this girl was also kind, she smiled and said, "Alright then, you can tell my wife for me that the general is at the Xiyuan bathing pool, and ask my wife to tidy up and prepare for the general to take a bath and change clothes."
"...Really?" Rachel's eyes widened in disbelief.
"Really, it's absolutely true, the general asked me to come here."
Hearing this news, Rachel rushed into Miss's room without saying a word, forgetting to knock on the door first, "Miss, Miss."
Shen Zhaoxue hurriedly wiped her tears, and when she turned around, there were still wet tears on her face, "What's wrong?"
"Miss, a girl came to report just now, saying that the general called you to the Xiyuan bathing pool to wait...to wait for the general to take a bath..." Rachel was a little embarrassed to spread the word, so she turned her face away.
At that moment, Shen Zhaoxue couldn't describe her mood, mixed tastes, bittersweet and joy, it was like going from one extreme to another all at once, the process was so fast that she could hardly adapt to it.
She even felt a little bit that what she just heard was just something she imagined.
So unreal.
After being stunned for a while, Rachel reminded, "Miss, are you still going?"
"Huh?" Shen Zhaoxue was a little dazed and came back to her senses.
"Just notified..." Rachel pointed to it.
"I see, just pack up...and go."
The Xiyuan Bath was specially built for her, and she took a bath here when she was a child.
Everything here is the same as before, nothing has changed.
When Sima Yun walked up the steps, a fallen leaf happened to fall in front of her eyes. The tranquility here was at odds with her ups and downs at the moment.
When she came back this time, she was not completely sure. If she was still determined to reconcile and had no affection for her, Sima Yun would not force her to do anything, and would let her go.
It's okay, everything is still in time.
If possible, she wanted to seize this opportunity firmly.
There are lanterns hanging on the path in the mansion, so it is not too dark, but Xiyuan is far away, and it takes a while to walk along the way. Shen Zhaoxue walked on the gravel road step by step with the things she needed for bathing, her nervous heart almost fell from the sky. His throat popped out.
This road seems to have been going for a long time before finally arriving at Xiyuan.
Passing through a semi-circular arch, it seemed that they heard some movement from inside. At this moment, Sima Yun appeared at the door and saw her. He was stunned at first, and then calmly said, "Come in."
"...Oh..." Shen Zhaoxue quickened her pace, nervously pawing at the clothes she was about to change for the general.
Sima Yun, who was waiting in the bathroom, pretended to be calm on the surface, but in fact he was already raging inside, especially after seeing her coming, he was even more out of control.
"Yes, definitely." In the darkness, Su Xiuyan's voice was panting.
......
A few hours ago, the two of them encountered an avalanche on the mountainside, and the heavy snow accumulated on the snowy mountain slid down layer by layer. At that moment, it seemed as if the sky would collapse and the earth would collapse. In a panic, Su Xiuyan took Aria to hide in the nearest In the cave, there was a big turmoil outside, which was very ear-piercing.Fear filled the air.
The entrance of the cave was tightly blocked, and it was unknown whether it was the deep snow or the falling rocks. At first, the two of them tried hard to dig out, but both of them were exhausted, their hands were red from the cold, and it still didn't work. I had no choice but to stop and gather my strength.
There is not much space in the cave and there is not enough oxygen. If you take a big breath, you will feel short of breath and dizzy.
It was pitch black inside, and she couldn't see her fingers. Su Xiuyan had never encountered such a situation. Although she appeared not to be afraid on the surface, she still couldn't help but worry in her heart. What if they couldn't get out? What if no one could find them What should I do here? Didn't she implicate Aria?
She pretended to be calm on the surface, just to prevent Aria from getting more flustered and to calm her down.
As the night deepened, the surroundings became terribly quiet, occasionally hearing the howling of wild wolves outside the cave, and the two girls trembled in their hearts.
"Xiuyan, did you hear anything?" Aria was trembling.

"It should be gone." Aria whispered.
"Let's go." Su Xiuyan returned, she stretched out her hand in one direction in the darkness, trying to touch her, "Aria, are you there?"
Aria also stretched out her hand and fluttered, and the two people's hands touched together in the darkness. Su Xiuyan held her hand tightly without hesitation, "Aria, come to my side."
After a while, a movement was heard, and then a cold body approached. Su Xiuyan warmed her with his own body, moved closer to her, and put his arms around her shoulders.
Aria didn't expect that Su Xiuyan's body would be warm in such an environment, and she couldn't help but want to get closer, which might be an instinctive reaction of her body.
"My father said that in extremely cold places, it would be better for two people to take off their clothes and warm each other with their limbs." Su Xiuyan stammered.
Aria couldn't help blushing, but fortunately no one could see it in this situation, "It's better...I don't need it, I feel much better."
"Oh..." Su Xiuyan swallowed, "If you still feel cold, you can tell me, after this night, someone will come to see us tomorrow."
"Yeah." Aria responded softly.
With Aria and herself cuddling each other, the temperature between the two of them rose rapidly. Su Xiuyan had a three-point fire since she was a child, that is, a hot body. She would get hot when she moved a little, and she could sweat when she slept under the quilt in winter.

All of a sudden, the court became a little chaotic.
People from the prime minister's school and Sima Boyi have been arguing endlessly about this issue.
Xiao Qi couldn't take it anymore, and raised her hand to signal silence.
"Since everyone is arguing about this and can't come up with the most favorable solution, I think we should let the two of them make their own decisions." After all, whether this marriage can be reconciled smoothly or not, everything has not yet been determined, but he has Hearing the news, Sima Yun had been away from home for several days because of this.
"Your Majesty, you cannot disobey the late emperor's edict."
"Your Majesty, you must abide by the laws of our country."
"..."
Unexpectedly, this group of people is still reluctant.
Xiao Qi raised her hand and said with a serious expression, "Okay, don't talk about it anymore, this problem will be over like this. If you have something to play, you will leave the court if there is nothing to do."
Unexpectedly, the final outcome would lead to such a development, and Sima Boyi, who was few and far between, won a complete victory.
When he came out facing down, Shen Qiwen's face was very ugly. When Sima Boyi passed by, he gritted his teeth and muttered, "You're not so proud."
Sima Boyi chuckled, "..." After thinking about it, he felt that there was nothing to talk to him about, so he simply walked down the stairs.
This made Shen Qiwen even more angry. At this moment, the prime minister unknowingly came behind him, leaned over and whispered a reminder in his ear, "Don't worry, he won't be proud for long."
Just after the court ceremony, before Xiao Qi had time to return to the harem, she saw Su Changjin rushing over with a group of court ladies and fathers-in-law, "Your Majesty."
"What's the matter, I'm in a hurry." Xiao Qi was puzzled.
"That's right, Princess Qiuci's servant said that she didn't return after leaving the palace yesterday, and this concubine wanted to report this matter to His Majesty as soon as possible."
Xiao Qi's face changed greatly when she heard this, "Why did you notify now," she said, and immediately ordered the imperial guards beside her, "Go down immediately and dispatch a few teams to search the whole city. You must find someone, and if you can't find them in the city, send them back I'm going out of town to look for it!"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Your Majesty, is there anything wrong with the princess?" Su Changjin looked nervous and worried.
"I hope it's okay." Xiao Qi's mood is not much better. This princess of Kucha is no small matter. If something goes wrong, how can I explain it to the king of Kucha? Maybe it will trigger a war between the two countries. , when the time comes, the people will suffer and mourn.
----
"Xiuyan, I'm so hungry."
"Me too."
Su Xiuyan stroked her stomach that was growling from hunger. Since she went out yesterday, she hasn't had a drop of water or a single grain of rice.
Aria pursed her lips, "Why hasn't anyone come to find us..."
"Someone will definitely come, there will definitely be." Su Xiuyan gritted her teeth, she would not give up hope.
"Are we going to die here?" She looked at Su Xiuyan's profile.
Su Xiuyan also turned her head to meet her eyes, and said with a slight smile, "Are you afraid?"
Aria thought about it seriously, "If I was alone, I might be afraid, but with you as my company, it doesn't seem so scary."
Su Xiuyan couldn't help stretching out her hand to touch her head, and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, there's still me here."
As she said that, she stood up and walked to the entrance of the cave, and continued to use the stones in the ground to shovel snow. Although she didn't eat, she had at least some strength after a night's rest. How would she know if she didn't try? Only then can we know whether we can pick the light with our own hands.
Seeing that Su Xiuyan was working so hard, Aliya also got up and went to help. The two of them shoveled the snow together and kept digging in the same place, but finally they touched the stone wall.
I can't dig anymore...
Aria immediately became discouraged, "The entrance of the cave is indeed blocked by a big rock, so we can't get out."
"Don't be discouraged, since it's a rock that fell from above, there must be a gap between it and the entrance of the cave, as long as you find that gap..." Su Xiuyan still didn't give up, groping for a place where there might be a gap, and continued to go out dig down.
With Su Xiuyan's persistence and perseverance, Aria was greatly encouraged, and she decided not to give up until the last moment.

"Man, have you heard about your general and wife?"
"This guest officer, you mean..." Xiao An scratched her head.
"It's reconciliation. Didn't your general's wife propose a reconciliation with the general? Will your store still have products from the Western Regions in the future?"
"Don't worry about this, the supply of goods will not be interrupted and will not affect your consumption." Xiao An explained patiently.
"Hey, Rachel, why are you here!" Looking up, she saw that Rachel was rushing to the store, and now this incident was full of uproar, everyone was talking about it, and Madam didn't come to the store for several days, Xiao An was a little worried.
"Miss won't let me follow her, so I came to the store to help you." After Rachel finished speaking, she lowered her head in frustration.
While the customers in the store were picking out the goods, Little An pulled Rachel over and asked in a low voice, "Madam and General...how is the situation?"
"What else can I do... The general has never returned to the mansion, and the young lady is sitting in front of the yard waiting every night, what should you do if this continues." Rachel was in a state of anxiety.
"What do you think I can help?" Xiao An asked.
Rachel shook her head, "There's nothing I can do, let alone you."
"I hope Madam and the general can survive this calamity!"
"It's useless to say anything now, I just hope for a happy ending."
The imperial guards were sweeping all the streets in the capital, and there was quite a commotion. Rachel went to the door and looked around, "What happened?"
Xiao An also followed, "I don't know, those people look like Imperial Guards in the palace."
"You know all this?" Rachel was surprised.
Xiao An scratched her head in embarrassment, "I accidentally saw it before."
"Oh..." Rachel didn't care.
After a while, several imperial guards found their shop, without saying a word, the menacing comer didn't care about it and left after searching, making everyone dumbfounded and didn't know what was going on.
In just half an hour, the entire city has been searched with extremely high efficiency, and now the imperial guards have already searched around the outskirts of the city.
Su Xiuyan's tongue was dry and her arms were sore, but she didn't dare to stop, she was afraid that once she stopped, she would no longer have the courage and confidence to continue, so she murmured, "It's almost here, soon." Encourage yourself, while encouraging Aria.
At this moment, Aliya suddenly came to her and squatted down, holding a piece of snow in her hand, stretched it out to her, "Xiuyan, eat this."
Su Xiuyan looked disgusted, "How can this be eaten?"
Seeing that she was unwilling, Aria twisted a piece and put it into her mouth. It was so cold that she couldn't help shivering, and then she said, "You can eat it, eat it."
Under her encouragement, Su Xiuyan drank some snow water and became less thirsty.
At this moment, there seemed to be a noise coming from outside the cave, footsteps everywhere, and faint shouts of "Princess, Princess..." from time to time.
Su Xiuyan suddenly became motivated to fight, and hurriedly dug along the gap, while calling Aria, "Quick, let's dig quickly, someone is here."
When it was dug through, Su Xiuyan shouted towards the gap, "We are here, we are here...."
The imperial guards were quickly attracted, and they worked together to pry the big rock blocking the entrance of the cave, and Su Xiuyan and Aria were finally rescued.
After being suppressed in this cave for nearly a day and a night, the moment when the light was regained, it was like living again. Aria and Su Xiuyan hugged each other almost without hesitation, weeping with joy.
Almost thought I was going to die.
But luckily you are here.
After this time of life and death, the relationship between Alia and Su Xiuyan is one step closer. Of course, she was also banned by the Duke. After all, it was because of her that Princess Kucha was in trouble and must be punished.
Several days later, the general still failed to return home. Shen Zhaoxue did not give up on waiting, but secretly hid a tiny bit of hope in her heart. , Only then did he escape on the pretext of being busy with military affairs.
Sima Yun was in the training ground, besides drinking, he still drank, drank at night and slept during the day, and his life was muddled and dark.
Wei Xue really couldn't stand it anymore, went in and scolded her. Although it was scolding, it was just to wake her up.
"General, look at your appearance now, you don't look like a human, you don't look like a ghost!"
"Can't you be tougher, whether it's reconciliation or disagreement, you have to give them an answer. Do you think it's the best way to delay?"
"General, I have been with you for these years, and this is the first time I am disappointed in you."
After finishing speaking, Wei Xue was so angry that she opened the curtain of the tent and rushed out.
"Hey, what's wrong with Wei Xue, why do I seem to be listening, you scolded the general!" Qin Sun grabbed her curiously.
Wei Xue was getting angry, her chest was heaving violently, "I scolded a person who was trying to pretend not to wake up!" After speaking, she strode away with big legs.
Qin Sun secretly felt scared, is this woman so scary when she gets angry? Wei Xue even dared to scold the general...
She doesn't want to care about morality or family fate.
Sima Yun has suppressed her identity for too long, and also suppressed her emotions for too long. Perhaps it was Wei Xue's phone call that woke her up. She used to think that it would be good to just protect her beloved in obscurity, but now she feels that , this may not be the happiness that Zhaoxue wants most, but it is hurting her.
She also wants to risk everything and let go of all burdens and psychological burdens... to love like that once, just once.
Sima Yun secretly clenched his fists and clenched his teeth. Not only did she miss that petite and soft body day and night, she really wanted to hug her tightly, hug her tightly, rub her into her arms, into her body.
Once this moment came, her brain couldn't control the endless burst of thoughts and desires, she wanted to do too much.
She's already a little...can't wait.
Thinking of this, Sima Yun got up immediately, picked up his saber and walked out of the tent, just happened to bump into Qin Sun, and he asked, "General, what is this..."
"Go home." Sima Yun replied two words lightly, but sonorously and firmly.
----
Around dusk, the servant girls in the mansion rushed to tell each other. "The general is back, the general is back!"
When Shen Zhaoxue, who was sitting in a daze in the room, suddenly heard the news, she was anxious and rushed out, but accidentally tripped on the threshold and nearly fell.
Rachel rushed over excitedly to report, "Miss, the general is back."
Shen Zhaoxue patted her clothes, pretending to be calm, and replied blankly, "It's just right when I'm back, I'll let the general write and leave the book."
"Miss." Rachel said bitterly, "Does it have to be like this?"
At this moment, the sound of horseshoes came from the gate of the courtyard, Sima Yun rode in all the time, and had a panoramic view from above, Shen Zhaoxue subconsciously avoided her direct gaze.
Sima Yun came down and tied the horse, went straight to his room, and didn't come out after entering. Rachel saw that the lady was so impatient, and Shen Zhaoxue was also anxious.
After waiting for a while, I had no choice but to take the initiative to go in to find her with a pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
When Shen Zhaoxue knocked on the door and entered, Sima Yun seemed to be busy with something, pretending to be calm and asked, "Is there something wrong?"
For some reason, when facing her alone at this moment, Shen Zhaoxue lost her previous arrogance and stammered, "General...General, and Li Shu..."
Unexpectedly, as soon as the words were finished, Sima Yun suddenly turned around and stood in front of Shen Zhaoxue. The pressure of her height forced her not to raise her head to face her.
At such a close distance, Shen Zhaoxue's heart began to beat violently.
Plop... plop... plop...
"You really want to make peace with me, huh?" There was a voice above his head, like angry or ghostly, it was hard to guess.
Shen Zhaoxue turned her face away, and nodded without confidence.
But her flushed little face, as well as her guilty and nervous appearance, had already betrayed her.
After waiting for a long time, I finally waited for a word on the top of my head, lightly and without any emotion, "...Okay."
At the same time, Shen Zhaoxue's heart fell to the bottom of the valley again. Although she had been looking forward to it for so many days, it seemed that this was not the ending she really wanted in her heart. She almost couldn't help crying in front of the general. Shen Zhaoxue turned around and pulled her legs ran out.
Rachel stood quietly outside the house, neither stepped forward to persuade, nor stepped forward to comfort, she thought the lady didn't want to be disturbed at the moment.
After a while, I saw the general come out of the wing room and out of the yard.
Shen Zhaoxue lay on the bedside and sobbed softly, probably desperate in her heart.
A servant girl came over, she seemed to be looking for Shen Zhaoxue, but Rachel stopped her because it was inconvenient, she didn't want this servant girl to see the young lady's appearance at this moment, otherwise it would spread to the mansion again to admit that she was gossip .
"If you have anything to say, tell me first, and I will report."
Unexpectedly, this girl was also kind, she smiled and said, "Alright then, you can tell my wife for me that the general is at the Xiyuan bathing pool, and ask my wife to tidy up and prepare for the general to take a bath and change clothes."
"...Really?" Rachel's eyes widened in disbelief.
"Really, it's absolutely true, the general asked me to come here."
Hearing this news, Rachel rushed into Miss's room without saying a word, forgetting to knock on the door first, "Miss, Miss."
Shen Zhaoxue hurriedly wiped her tears, and when she turned around, there were still wet tears on her face, "What's wrong?"
"Miss, a girl came to report just now, saying that the general called you to the Xiyuan bathing pool to wait...to wait for the general to take a bath..." Rachel was a little embarrassed to spread the word, so she turned her face away.
At that moment, Shen Zhaoxue couldn't describe her mood, mixed tastes, bittersweet and joy, it was like going from one extreme to another all at once, the process was so fast that she could hardly adapt to it.
She even felt a little bit that what she just heard was just something she imagined.
So unreal.
After being stunned for a while, Rachel reminded, "Miss, are you still going?"
"Huh?" Shen Zhaoxue was a little dazed and came back to her senses.
"Just notified..." Rachel pointed to it.
"I see, just pack up...and go."
The Xiyuan Bath was specially built for her, and she took a bath here when she was a child.
Everything here is the same as before, nothing has changed.
When Sima Yun walked up the steps, a fallen leaf happened to fall in front of her eyes. The tranquility here was at odds with her ups and downs at the moment.
When she came back this time, she was not completely sure. If she was still determined to reconcile and had no affection for her, Sima Yun would not force her to do anything, and would let her go.
It's okay, everything is still in time.
If possible, she wanted to seize this opportunity firmly.
There are lanterns hanging on the path in the mansion, so it is not too dark, but Xiyuan is far away, and it takes a while to walk along the way. Shen Zhaoxue walked on the gravel road step by step with the things she needed for bathing, her nervous heart almost fell from the sky. His throat popped out.
This road seems to have been going for a long time before finally arriving at Xiyuan.
Passing through a semi-circular arch, it seemed that they heard some movement from inside. At this moment, Sima Yun appeared at the door and saw her. He was stunned at first, and then calmly said, "Come in."
"...Oh..." Shen Zhaoxue quickened her pace, nervously pawing at the clothes she was about to change for the general.
Sima Yun, who was waiting in the bathroom, pretended to be calm on the surface, but in fact he was already raging inside, especially after seeing her coming, he was even more out of control.
