Xu Jinyi swallowed and felt a chill on his neck.

Gao Mingmi shook his head and said, "Onlookers see more clearly than those involved. Without love, there would be no hatred. This purse must have an unforgettable story."

He Junlian seemed to be irritated. He picked up his sword and left without saying a word.

"If she hurt you, why would you remember her? Hate is equal to love."

"Forget her, live your own life, and make her regret it. This is the best revenge."

He Junlian paused for a moment, then continued walking forward.

Xu Jinyi sighed, put out the fire, left the roasted pheasant there and left.

He Junlian didn't know what was going on. He walked back as if he wanted to refute something, but he only saw the pheasant on the ground.

Xu Jinyi wasn't actually sure that he would eat the roast chicken in which she had put a Peiyuan Pill, so she was just trying it.

For more than a year, He Junlian had never felt so comfortable, and he even slept soundly leaning against a tree.

Xu Jinyi sat beside him, stroking his face and staring at him.

"You must have suffered a lot this year! I'm sorry I couldn't be with you."

When He Junlian woke up and looked at the dazzling sun, he felt as if he didn't know what day it was.

He couldn't remember how long it had been since he had such a good sleep.

The old wounds in his body had healed, and he seemed to have endless energy. The lingering fragrance in the air made He Junlian lose consciousness for a moment.

He stared at the pile of firewood that still retained some warmth with his eyes slightly narrowed.

Xu Jinyi was worried that he might become suspicious, so she didn't stay long and rode quickly to the nunnery.

When the relic was taken out by the master, Xu Jinyi couldn't help feeling disappointed, because the relic was fake.

However, Xu Jinyi did not give up, but continued searching temples one by one.

After traveling all the way, Xu Jinyi lost a lot of weight, many horses died, and even the inside of his thighs were rubbed raw.

Time passed little by little, and Xu Jinyi came to a temple one day. The abbot's words made her laugh and cry.

"Master, do you mean that if I become a monk and practice Buddhism, I will be able to obtain relics after I die?"

The abbot nodded and said: "The donor is a great benefactor for ten generations. If he becomes a monk and practices, I believe that he will definitely produce a relic when he passes away."

"Master, I want to find the sarira to save my life. If I don't have the sarira, I won't live until next year, so becoming a monk is just empty talk."

"Sorry to bother you, Master. Goodbye."

The master suddenly stopped her and said, "Please wait a moment, benefactor."

Xu Jinyi looked at him in confusion...

Two years later——

He Junlian stared at Ah Huai who was kneeling on the ground. His eyes were extremely red and his hands were shaking violently.

"Say it again!! What on earth did she do three years ago?"

He Junlian's chest was heaving violently, and his expression was filled with excitement, disbelief, confusion, and a hint of joy.

Ah Huai had promised Xu Jinyi that he would never mention those things, but in recent years, he saw that He Junlian insisted on not having a queen, and there was no woman around him.

Moreover, he did not care about the affairs of the court at all. He was like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins. All his thoughts were on the war, and he expanded his territory without regard for his own safety.

Although he had never asked about Princess Jiaoyang's situation, Ah Huai knew that he missed her.

But the knot in my heart is hard to untie, and I dare not go to see her.

Hearing that he was going to expedition to the Huns in the northern desert, Ah Huai could not hold back and could not help but tell him the truth.

"Three years ago, Princess Jiaoyang knew about my existence and asked Xiao Lingdang to kidnap me."

"She fed me a poison pill to threaten me not to tell her what I had discovered, and told me the truth. She has no ill will towards you."

"That's why I didn't show up and cut off contact with you in the past few days. Princess Jiaoyang actually loves your Majesty deeply."

"The books in the library of Jinyang Palace, your martial arts, and the money we spent on rebuilding our forces after our return are the best proof."

"Also, every time you were injured in battle and on the verge of death, the good medicine you used was personally handed to me by Princess Jiaoyang through Xiao Lingdang."

No wonder, no wonder he felt the effects of those medicines were so familiar, no wonder the taste was so similar.

He Junlian was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes. An indescribable emotion surged in his heart. Scenes from the past in Jinyang Palace came to his mind, leaving only sweetness.

"Although I don't know why Princess Jiaoyang wants you to leave in this way, there is no doubt that she loves you."

"You were able to leave safely because she arranged for someone to go out for you. The eldest prince's men secretly accompanied you all the way until she saw you safely step into the Liang Kingdom."

"In front, Princess Jiaoyang would ask Xiao Lingdang to deliver medicine every once in a while, but there has been no news from there in the past two years."

"Xiao Lingling finally gave me a letter, repeatedly reminding me not to tell you everything Princess Jiaoyang did for you, so that you would hate her."

He Junlian didn't want to hear what he said, nor did he want to punish Ah Huai for concealing the truth. Now he just wanted to see her as quickly as possible.

Ask her why?

Why was it so cruel that he hated her for three years? Why?

He Junlian felt extremely heartbroken when he thought about what he had done to her on the last night he left more than three years ago.

At the same time, I also thought of the red figure I saw in the valley when I left.

So she had just finished a night of exercise and then dragged her tired body to see him off, right?

It took him more than twenty days to get back to Liang State from Jinyang Palace, so she was actually there during those twenty days!

He Junlian couldn't describe his feelings at the moment, his mind was full of questions.

If what Ah Huai said was all true, why would she put on such a show in front of him?

With a lot of questions in his mind, He Junlian went straight to the State of Qin.

They galloped all the way and several horses were exhausted to death. They didn't even get much sleep while they were on the road.

Touching the faded and frayed purse, my longing for her penetrated deep into my bones, and I only wanted to see her as soon as possible to confirm it.

When He Junlian thought about how he had hated her for the past few years, how he didn't dare to come to see her, and how he didn't dare to agree to her news, he regretted it so much that his intestines turned green.

He was too stupid and mad to ever suspect that it was a deliberate act on her part to force him to leave.

He Junlian felt a pain in his heart when he thought about how much she had done silently behind his back.

But when he arrived at the Forbidden City of Qin, He Junlian inexplicably did not dare to step in.

"Ahuai, do you think she has already married? Does she still remember me?"

"After King Jinyang ascended the throne, he gave birth to two princes, but I have never heard of any news about the princess, so Princess Jiaoyang should still be unmarried."

"I have never heard of any news of Liang's marriage to another country."

He Junlian stared at the familiar yet unfamiliar Forbidden City, feeling anxious: "Do you think she will be angry that I came to see her so late? Will she be happy to see me?"

When He Junlian stepped into the Qin State, the current Emperor Jinyang Huang received the news. Looking at the three little faces in front of him that looked exactly like He Junlian, he sighed.

"He came after all."

"Your Majesty, didn't I hear that he was preparing to attack the Xiongnu in the northern desert? Why did he suddenly change direction and attack us?"

Emperor Jinyang shook his head: "How many troops did he bring?"

"Uh, a dozen people."

"Look, he knows. Let's go to the palace gate to greet him."

Prince Jinyang touched the little heads of He Boan, He Bowen and He Bowu and smiled with relief.
