In the dead of night, Junxu pushed open the battle table on the case, threw on some clothes and walked out. Feng Qin had already returned to the capital. The crown princess would never leave her behind. What would happen to that silly child?
Should she hold back her feelings and be loyal to her duty?
Or should she rack her brains to find a way to protect her?
She let her horse run free and soon walked out of the camp. The figure of the young girl swinging her sword soared between heaven and earth, graceful and agile, like a poem. Jun Xu stood still on his horse and watched quietly, but the girl stopped.
‘Marshal’
‘Jinglan’
Jinglan didn’t know why she was sitting next to the marshal. She admired her very much. She was a goddess in her eyes. She was the master that her eldest sister followed. She changed the history of the Dazhuo war. She avenged her sister’s death for her. She was indebted to her. As a result, Jinglan felt an indescribable sense of familiarity and closeness towards her, and wanted to tell her everything, but didn’t know how to start. So the young girl suddenly blurted out
‘My sister, she was a good person.’
Junxu was taken aback, and the shadow of Jingsa faintly appeared in her mind. For a moment, she felt a little sad
‘Well, she was a gentleman.’
‘My sister was the eldest daughter in the family. When I was little, I was jealous of her and always treated her coldly.’
’…
‘My sister was always gentle with me, sometimes sighing and saying nothing.‘
’…‘
’I wanted to surpass her at all costs, and I joined the army too. My sister was drunk that day, leaning against the pavilion and telling my brother-in-law that she knew I would do well, but was afraid that the battlefield was full of dangers and she didn’t know what to do. She said she was very troubled, that she didn’t know what to do with me . She said that she preferred her siblings to her position as the eldest daughter. She said that she was going to Yizhou City, and then she closed her eyes and let out a deep sigh. I hid behind a pillar, my heart aching so much that I wanted to cry. The next day I went to find her, but she had already left.‘
’…
Once she left, she never returned.’
Jinglan clenched her teeth with a shiver, holding back the sound of sobbing. Junxu sighed silently, reached out and put his arms around her in his cloak, patting her gently. Jinglan said hoarsely
‘Marshal, we won! We won!’
‘Yes, we won.’
‘Marshal… My sister won’t blame me anymore… Ohhh…’
“Yes, she won’t. You avenged her. You are her pride, and the pride of Yue.’
Jinglan fell into Junxu’s arms and wept uncontrollably. Junxu held her in his arms, a little dazed, and felt a strange mixture of emotions.
Looking back, what was the relationship between Shen Da, Jing Sa and her?
Some things are too painful to remember, and it is not convenient to delve deeper. Let bygones be bygones.
Patting the sobbing body gently, Junxu gazed into the darkness. If the crown princess waited until she returned to the capital to strike, she would be the one in the wrong. But what could possibly force the crown princess to fight her here? Only Feng Qin’s revelation of her identity was probably not enough.
Everyone in the army knows that if Feng Qin were to identify her face-to-face as the emperor of Qin, she would admit it in public. Although the crown princess doesn’t know, she is cautious and would never take a risky move. Seeing her spies in the army die one after another in battle, she still sends her gifts and asks after her well-being, doesn’t she?
Seeing that she was slowly gaining control of the army, she still treated her with kindness and gentleness. Even when she killed the people the crown princess sent, she still paid no attention.
Junxu lowered her eyes. Rather than believing that you are being honest, I would rather believe that you are bearing humiliation and waiting for the right moment to strike.
It’s time to write a proper letter to my long-lost mother Shen Yao.
As clever as she is, no matter what anyone says, she will now believe that Shen Da is her flesh and blood, right?
That’s better than being a crab without claws.
What’s more, she has left Shen Yao a real flesh and blood child. With that as a backup, the old guy won’t be too fussy.
