After being a widow for half my life, I found out that my husband was not dead.

When Liu Yunxiang chased him out, Yan Mu had already ridden away.

She saw the beggar outside and asked him to follow him to take a look.

Liu Yunxiang returned home exhausted, but only saw Zijin with Xingyi, not Chongming and Huazhu.

"where are they?"

Seeing that Liu Yunxiang was fine, Zijin breathed a sigh of relief and replied: "The night you disappeared, Chongming also disappeared. Hua Zhu went to look for him, but there is no sign of him until now."

Liu Yunxiang frowned. Yan Mu could find her so quickly. At that time, she thought that maybe Chongming had a conscience and told him.

Later that day, the beggar came back and said that Yan Mu was at the military camp and asked her not to worry.

Liu Yunxiang sighed. How could she not be worried? He Cheng's words were heartbreaking, and Yan Mu would go crazy whenever he mentioned that person.

Two days later, Yan Mu still didn't show up. Liu Yunxiang was really worried and asked the beggar to take her to the military camp.

The two set off in the afternoon, riding horses and taking advantage of the warm weather to arrive at the Zhenbeiguan Military Camp. The two met Jiang Yuan at the military camp and let Jiang Yuan lead them to Yan Mu's camp.

Arriving outside the camp, Jiang Yuan said, "The master has been bored inside for the past two days without eating or drinking. Madam must give him some good advice."

Liu Yunxiang was also worried and hurriedly responded to go in, but Jiang Yuan stopped her again.

He hesitated for a long time and said: "The master's rashness to start a war with Beijin caused the emperor's dissatisfaction. The little concubine Jin begged for the master's mercy. The emperor was furious and sent her to the cold palace. She also... cut off one of her fingers and put it in the cold palace. It's in a brocade box and was delivered to the military camp yesterday."

Liu Yunxiang clenched his fists. The emperor was threatening Yan Mu with the life of the little golden concubine, telling him not to have second thoughts and to obey orders.

The tent was not big, and there was a charcoal fire burning in the room. Yan Mu was wearing regular clothes and sitting on a sheepskin blanket, his head hung low. He hadn't washed himself in two or three days, and his hair was messy.

Liu Yunxiang sighed slightly, walked forward and knelt down beside him.

There was a brocade box in front of him, and I think it contained little Jin Fei's severed finger.

The emperor is so cruel!

"I'm worried about you. I can't sleep at night and can't eat," she said.

He still lowered his head, as if he didn't hear her.

"My brother's matter has nothing to do with you. Didn't Mr. Kuang send a letter to Aunt Yan, saying that they are in Tuhun Fort..."

"I sent someone to check." Yan Mu said in a hoarse voice, "Tuhun Fort will be buried by wind and sand once every ten years. There were several sandstorms in the year they were at Tuhun Fort. Tuhun Fort has been buried by wind and sand. Submerged under the dunes.”

Liu Yunxiang's heart ached, but he still held back, "Xu, Xu they escaped."

"Where are you going?"

Liu Yunxiang was silent for a long time and said, "It's not your fault, so don't blame yourself."

Yan Mu smiled, "What's wrong with me? I just shouldn't be alive."

"Yan Mu!"

"They all want me dead."

"I want you to live."

"is it?"

Liu Yunxiang frowned, his tone was unbelievable.

Liu Yunxiang got closer and suddenly smelled the scent of jasmine. She was very sensitive to this smell and felt a little nauseous at the moment. Looking carefully again, I saw Yan Mu holding a purse in his hand.

The one given to him by the little golden concubine was regarded as a treasure by him.

She was a childhood sweetheart with deep love and loyalty. She couldn't bear to sacrifice for him.

"Does the 'they' you refer to include Little Golden Concubine?"

Yan Mu suddenly raised his head and looked at Liu Yunxiang, his eyes full of anger, as if her question had offended him.

"You just believe her." Liu Yunxiang said with a bitter smile.

Everyone else is an outsider, but she is the only one he can trust, rely on, and will never let down until his death.

Love or not, it's too insignificant in front of their feelings.

Yan Mu must be full of resentment and hatred, grievances and pain at this moment. He needs to find someone to talk to, but that person is far away in the palace of Shengjing, not her who is beside him at the moment.

"Yan Mu, I hope you are well. No one in this world is more sincere to you than me."

But you can't see it and you will never understand it.

Yan Mu sneered, "One day you will want me to die."

"You do not trust me."

"Yes, I don't believe it."

Liu Yunxiang sighed deeply, "Before, when I wanted to separate, you held my hand and wouldn't let go. This time I hold your hand, can you trust me for once?"

Only this time.

She stretched out her hand to him, but he kept his head lowered, holding Little Jin Fei's purse in his hand.

After a long time, Liu Yunxiang smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Yan Mu, look, it's not me who is cruel, but yours."

She stood up and glanced at Yan Mu again, "I'm on your boat. There is nothing I can do. I just ask you to at least be responsible and ensure that our mother and son can survive."

After speaking, she turned and strode away.

After returning home and having dinner, Liu Yunxiang coaxed Xingyi to fall asleep. She was very upset and went for a walk in the courtyard.

The beggar was sitting on the steps of the hanging flower door, smoking his pipe. "He Cheng was right when he said something. Mrs. Yan hated Yan Mu, avoided him, and almost didn't talk to him. Little Yan Mu didn't understand why, and always thought about it. I tried to please Mrs. Yan, but was always treated coldly. Fortunately, I had Jin You at that time. She was older than Yan Mu, who cried with him, made him laugh, listened to his complaints, and comforted him. Mrs. Yan liked Jin You, So when King Suping led his troops to kill Yan Mansion, she tried to find a way to send Jin You out, but asked Yan Mu to die with them. However, Jin You was sent to Yuezhou and did not follow Mrs. Yan's arrangement. She hid there, but walked for a month. At a young age, she walked back to Shengjing from Yuezhou. When she learned that Yan Mu was rescued by the governor of Dongchang, she wanted to see Yan Mu, but Yan Mu was ill at that time, and the governor Not wanting to cause trouble, I didn't let her enter the mansion. She knelt outside the mansion and knelt for three days. Even the governor, who was as hard as iron, was moved and finally brought her into the mansion to stay with Yan Mu."

Liu Yunxiang sneered coldly, "But people can change. She entered the palace, and the overt and covert fighting in the palace made her have to be cruel. One day, she will find that Yan Mu can also be used."

The beggar raised his eyebrows, "What do you mean?"

Liu Yunxiang raised his eyebrows, "What do you mean by telling me this?"

"It's a good night, so I can't hold back some words."

"Humph!"

"You are too smart, but being too smart is not necessarily a good thing."

"I don't think you're very smart."

The beggar was startled, "Why?"

"Live in my place, eat my food, and turn your elbows out."

The beggar laughed dryly, "This is not just saying farts when you have something to say."

"When it's time to hold it in, hold it in. Not everyone wants to be smoked by you."

After saying that, Liu Yunxiang rushed back to the house angrily.

A few days later, the beggar came in rubbing his hands and said in shock: "Yan Mu's army will be transferred from Zhenbeiguan to Shuoxi to reinforce Jinxi Pass."

Liu Yunxiang frowned, "Why go to Shuoxi instead?"

The beggar was also confused, "We and Xiyue have been in harmony for the past few years. There is no need for it."

As he was talking, Yan Mu came in wearing a suit of armor.

He first roasted himself in front of the brazier, then took Xingyi from Liu Yunxiang's arms, leaned over and kissed his daughter on the face.

"I'm going to Shuoxi now, but before I leave." Yan Mu turned to look at Liu Yunxiang, "I'll make a business deal with you."
