Chapter 39 We've already slept together, so I don't mind marrying you.
"Rumors circulated that my mother used the excuse of visiting her family to spend time with her childhood sweetheart, Lin Qian, in the same room."
They also said that I looked very much like Lin Qian, which aroused the Emperor's suspicion.
But later I learned that Lin Qian was actually Yang Tingzhou's second wife, Liu Meixin, who was now his bedmate.
My mother, knowing about their affair, wanted to tell my maternal grandfather, Yang Tingzhou.
Liu Meixin had my mother and Lin Qian knocked unconscious and locked in a room, then turned around and accused me!
As for the rumors about my appearance, they were suggested by Yang Xuerou to her mother.
The storytellers in all the major restaurants in the capital were commissioned to create tales and spread them far and wide, which eventually reached my father's ears!
“I still remember the way my mother died tragically. Her face was covered with tangled hair, she was thrown into a pigsty, and the pigs ate her. Shouldn’t I hate them, mother and daughter?”
Faced with Huo Jingxuan's suspicious gaze, Jiang Xi retorted hysterically.
Huo Jingxuan was stunned for a moment when he came out of Jade God Valley.
Jiang Xi's mother is dead, and rumors are spreading throughout the city.
But he didn't think about finding out, nor did he want to know the specifics.
After all, he was only twelve years old at the time, and a cold-hearted boy.
With their minds set on the battlefield and on achieving great deeds, they were completely oblivious to such private matters.
But he had also heard the rumors about Jiang Xi's mother, that she committed suicide by jumping into a well, but it turned out that she died such a tragic death.
"Your Highness, Chun Tao is missing. She stayed behind all by herself; she must have ulterior motives."
You can't believe her; she might be lying to you again!
Seeing Huo Jingxuan's expression shift slightly, Bei Ying assumed he was about to believe Jiang Xi again, so she quickly knelt down on one knee and loudly reminded him.
Huo Jingxuan's attention was entirely focused on Jiang Xi, and he had virtually no impression of Chun Tao.
Only when Bei Ying said that did he realize that Jiang Xi really seemed to be a person.
"Where is your maid? Where did you hide her?" Huo Jingxuan asked.
Jiang Xi smiled faintly: "She has been by my side since I was a child. Even if she has done something great, she has certainly worked hard."
I came to find her to make sure she was safe. Now that she is alright, I will let her find her own way to survive.
Why let her follow me to die!
"You're just waiting to die, so why did you deceive me in the first place? Saying you were my wife, how absurd!"
Jiang Xi moved closer to Huo Jingxuan, looking up at the tall man dressed in black.
"So, is your uncle angry that I lied to you, or is he angry that I'm not your wife?"
If it's the latter, since we've already slept together, I wouldn't mind marrying you!
As she spoke, her slender, pale fingertips traced a path from his shoulder down to his chest.
"dream!"
Huo Jingxuan grabbed her hand and forcefully flung it aside.
"Don't forget, I am your royal uncle!"
Jiang Xi shrugged indifferently: "So what if I'm your royal uncle? We're not blood relatives. You're just a prince of a different gender, only six years older than me!"
"That's not OK!"
Huo Jingxuan refused with righteous indignation.
"When I was helping your father conquer the world, you were still sniffling!"
……
Jiang Xi's face darkened: "Your Royal Uncle even remembers what I looked like when I was a child, and you still dare to say you don't like me!"
Huo Jingxuan was stunned for a moment, then, after realizing what was happening, he ordered Bei Ying, "Take her with you and deal with her after we return to the capital!"
"Why not just kill her?" Bei Ying asked blankly.
The result was a sharp glare from Huo Jingxuan.
Startled, the Beijing Film Academy immediately replied, "Yes!"
Having traveled for most of the night, both men and horses were exhausted, so after discussion...
They decided to set up camp here and rest for the night before continuing their journey early the next morning.
The soldiers set up their marching tents, and the Beijing Film Studio relit its campfire.
Jiang Xi was guarded by two other soldiers and was not allowed to go anywhere.
"Your Highness, the tent is set up. You should get some rest!"
Bei Ying lit a fire outside Huo Jingxuan's tent and invited him inside to rest.
Huo Jingxuan glanced at Jiang Xi, then took off his cloak and threw it at her.
Jiang Xi's vision went black. She ripped off the cloak from her head and glared up at Huo Jingxuan, who had already stood up.
"I'm afraid you'll freeze to death before you even reach the capital, then there'll be no fun left!"
Huo Jingxuan had a stern face and a harsh tone, which sounded incredibly irritating.
But Jiang Xi quickly realized that Huo Jingxuan had actually started to care about her.
Although this interpretation is somewhat far-fetched, it's clear that Huo Xidong in the past would have been completely indifferent to the lives of others.
So, did my straightforward confession actually work?
Thinking this, Jiang Xi quickly put on a fawning smile.
“Uncle, the temperature difference in the mountains is quite large, and your thin cloak is not enough to keep Ah Xi warm.”
"Why don't I come into your tent and sleep with you? It's not like we've never shared a bed before!"
As Jiang Xi spoke, she darted into the tent and lay down before Huo Jingxuan, just like a rabbit.
"Your Highness, this..." Bei Ying looked panicked.
Jiang Xi is too audacious! She actually dared to steal the prince's tent. Let's see how the prince deals with her!
However, to Bei Ying's utter astonishment, Huo Jingxuan not only did not punish Jiang Xi, but also waved for Bei Ying to leave.
The man with a straight back walked slowly to the front of the tent, his hands behind his back, and looked at the dark figure inside illuminated by the firelight.
He said in a deep voice, "Come out. What kind of behavior is this, with everyone watching?"
Jiang Xi's voice came through the tent flap, already sounding somewhat drowsy and sleepy.
"We've done far more indecent things together, who are you trying to impress with your reserve now?"
Huo Jingxuan's body stiffened. What was this girl saying?
He was forced into that situation; how can it be compared to his current lucid state?
"Uncle, either come in and sleep with me, or stay outside and keep watch! Don't bother me, I want to sleep!"
Jiang Xi turned over, pulled the cloak covering her up a little, and with shallow breathing, she had already drifted off to sleep.
Huo Jingxuan stood outside, recalling the days they had spent together in bed.
He always held her in his arms, and she slept peacefully in his embrace.
For some reason, he didn't feel disgusted; instead, he felt a sense of warmth.
A night breeze blew by, bringing a chill, and Huo Jingxuan realized what he had been thinking.
I shook my head, banishing the thoughts that shouldn't be in my mind.
What on earth has possessed him? How could he possibly find the time he spent with Jiang Xi after losing his memory so heartwarming?
Seeing the woman already asleep in the tent, Huo Jingxuan did not forcefully wake her up, but instead sat down by the fire outside the tent.
The bright firelight illuminated his stern face and also revealed a hint of worry in his eyes.
He was a smart man and had been unwilling to think about it before, but the sudden thought that had just popped into his head made him feel a little apprehensive.
Why didn't someone as cold-blooded as him kill Jiang Xi immediately after she did such terrible things to him?
Was it really just because they kept her around to find the Cold Crow Token?
