I panicked.

There is a woman around Huo Yan that I don’t know about.

Standing in front of the wall of jewelry cabinets that Gu Sinian prepared for me, I didn't feel anything, but I felt that the world was collapsing bit by bit, and the mark in my heart seemed to be overturned.

But Huo Yan quickly called back: "Xinghe, what do you want to tell me?"

I shook my head on the phone but made no sound.

"Gar told me everything was going well and that everything would be fine."

I still didn't say anything. Should I ask him who the woman who just called his name was?

At this time, shouldn't he, the person who hung up the phone, explain to me?

But he didn't explain, he was talking about other things.

"Then you must take good care in Han Country." Huo Yan's words seemed to be a farewell.

"What do you mean?"

"I just hope Xinghe can be happier..."

"Huo Yan..." A loud electric sound suddenly came from the other end of the phone.

I rushed out anxiously holding my phone: "Where is Gu Sinian? I want to find Gu Sinian."

I asked, pulling the guard off the road.

The servant behind me didn't know why I was so anxious, and hurriedly followed me: "Princess Xinghe, the Han Emperor should have gone to the war front. Today he is negotiating with some of Han Lingwei's subordinates left behind in the slums."

"Take me to him. No, take me to find Gal. Where's Howard?"

I tried to calm myself down. At this time, Huo Huahua rushed back from outside and hugged my trembling body: "What is Huo Yan hiding from me again?"

My voice was almost hysterical, and she, Huo Huahua, was also silent.

"You and Gar know everything. You were acting for me, pretending that there was a crisis in Han Country, and then you sent me away because Huo Yan chose to give up on me and be with someone else, right?"

I finally understood. Huo Yan and Jia Er were just acting. Gu Sinian could actually handle the Han Country side.

And even if I was sent back to Han Country by Huo Yan.

Then Gu Sinian stayed with me, and I couldn’t leave here and couldn’t find Huo Yan.

Huo Huahua handed me the phone and said, "This is the good news announced by Intercontinental when we just set out. It was arranged by Lord Bird, the daughter of Anna, the largest family in Intercontinental. Bird said that if there is no marriage, he will not help Han Country and will cooperate with Han Lingwei. So Master Huo agreed. That day, Master Huo actually asked you to choose him or Han Country. You chose Han Country, so..."

Huo Huahua’s words suddenly enlightened me.

It turned out that I was given the choice that day.

My choice at that time was to go back to Han Country with Gal.

For a moment, I felt something was suffocating in my chest.

He suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes turned black and he fainted.

When I woke up again, Gu Sinian was already sitting beside my bed.

I turned around and faced away from him. Sometimes I really wished that everything would stay in the last life and I could just die.

At least it won't be worse than this life.

"It's just an engagement. Once things in Han Country are settled, I'll take you to grab the wedding." Gu Sinian was afraid that I would be sad, so I found it ironic when he said the word "catch the wedding".

"Not interested." Huo Yan has concealed the truth from me more than once or twice. Even if I am grateful to him or have loved him, I really can't stand such a life anymore.

Every time he makes me guess whether he is planning something and excludes me.

He simply didn't tell Gu Sinian about this, but stood up and asked, "Is the slum still under control? Are the lives of those civilians in danger?"

"There is no danger for now. Today, they heard that you had returned home, and their morale was high. They resisted some of Han Lingwei's subordinates and took back some territory."

Gu Sinian's words made me feel happy for a moment. I stood up and said, "Then strike while the iron is hot. I will go and boost morale so that we can take back all the territory. Han Lingwei didn't come out to take charge of the situation anyway, so maybe she will show up when she's anxious."

Gu Sinian frowned slightly, but finally smiled and shook his head: "If you will be happier this way, then I will take you there."

I stood up and looked out the window. It was already daytime the next day.

Instead of sitting and waiting, it is better to take action.

Huaihe River——

The banks of the Huai River were very quiet, and the gates of the bridge were also opened.

"Once this door is opened, the gap between the rich and the poor will be narrowed." Gu Sinian said as he waved his hand, and saw some trucks carrying food ingredients driving across the bridge to supply food, and then there were some vendors in the slums packing some handmade works and preparing to go out of the city to sell them.

"According to the previous method, they have no human rights and it is easy to exterminate their clan. Which family was exiled here?"

My words made Gu Sinian laugh. "We Xinghe are sometimes too smart. These poor people were indeed nobles before, but they had a disagreement with Huan'er's mother, the then Emperor Han, and were thrown here by a trap, cutting off their livelihood. Huan'er's mother's maternal family is the first family of Zhouji Country, and she is now Anna's aunt."

I sorted out my thoughts and realized that Han Country was originally a force under the Intercontinental Country, and Anna was Huan'er's real backer before.

Therefore, Huo Yan married him this time in order to stabilize the situation here, otherwise Anna's family would help Han Lingwei take back the Han Kingdom.

"But Anna won't really help Han Lingwei, right? Han Lingwei killed Huan'er and Huan'er's mother. They just used Han Lingwei, and then Han Lingwei took over the Han Kingdom. She will definitely be killed, right?" I think I understand the conspiracies between these countries.

"Yes, but no matter what, Han Lingwei has to give it a try, otherwise she will have no way out. The marriage between Huo Yan and Anna can currently restrain Anna's family from interfering in Han Country's affairs, so Han Lingwei will have no backing."

"I see."

All along, my identity and status have not been able to match Huo Yan's.

It also held him back.

"Gu Sinian, now that Han Lingwei has been captured, can you let me take your place for a few years?"

I suddenly raised my eyes and said such words. Gu Sinian was stunned for a few seconds, then reached out and rubbed my hair: "You can sit as long as you want."

"I just want a position, but can you be in charge of governing? I just want a different identity, but if you ask me to manage, I may not be able to do it well."

"You can do it, and I will accompany you." Gu Sinian coughed violently a few times while trying to speak. His assistant quickly handed him a handkerchief. He then wiped it casually and crumpled the handkerchief into a ball and gave it to my assistant, as if he didn't want me to see what was inside the handkerchief.

I didn't think much about it because Gu Sinian's health had just recovered a little and he had to work so hard again.

"You should take care of yourself and don't resist everything like Huo Yan. I don't like being kept in the dark all the time." I still complained about Huo Yan.

I didn't call him the whole day. After the trade was cleared, I looked at my phone to see if Huo Yan had sent me a message.

When finally it came, there was nothing.

I sent an emoticon, but it showed a red exclamation mark!

Huo Yan blocked me?

I stuffed my phone back into my pocket in anger. Gu Sinian asked me what was wrong. I rolled my eyes and said, "Huo Yan is an asshole."
