From northern Xinjiang to the capital, it took nearly [-] days.

As mid-autumn approached, Wei Xi dressed in filial piety to hunt for wind.

The closed city gate was fifty feet away from her, and the tower was full of guards with bows and crossbows. Wei Xi held the reins tightly, his gaze cold.

Shen Rongnian put his palm on the back of her hand, and patted her lightly to comfort her, with a decent smile on his elegant face.

With her hands clenched tightly, Wei Xi lowered her eyes, "Are you tired?"

They traveled day and night, and now it's just past Mao, the sky is just dawn and it's still cold, Wei Xi is a little worried about her health.

"It's okay." Shen Rongnian leaned into her arms, his eyes drifted to the city wall, "Tell me, if Xu Ningzhi knew you were back, would he run out to find you?"

Wei Xi snorted coldly, "She won't."

Even if there was no poisoning, Xu Ningzhi would not run out all the way just to see her earlier, and she would often run around chasing Xu Ningzhi.

With a chuckle, Shen Rongnian's tone was a little joyful, "Why is she like this, you don't even know how to pick it up when you come back."

"You really want her to pick me up?" Wei Xi raised his eyebrows and looked down at her, "Sister Rong, I didn't expect you to be like this now."

Shen Rongnian smiled and sullenly said, "What's the matter? You haven't divorced yet. She is your fiancée and I am your cousin. I can't even care about you?"

Wei Xi laughed out loud when he said this, and pressed his slightly cool lips to the back of her neck, sniffing lightly.

Shen Rongnian shrank his neck, "Why? No big or small, I'm your cousin, not your fiancée, I have no objection to what you do if you break off the engagement."

"Really?" Wei Xi smiled lowly.

Shen Rongnian opened her hand solemnly, "I'm not like your Ning Zhi, you used to say how good she is every day, I think that's the way."

Wei Xi's face remained unchanged, and he even nodded in agreement with her.

Shen Rongnian turned his head to look at her, his speech slowed down, his palms were sweaty: "Do you still like her?"

For four whole years, every time Shen Rongnian saw her, she would always say Xu Ningzhi, and when she couldn't see anyone, she rushed to find her. Even though she was sent to northern Xinjiang for half a year, Wei Xi didn't give her a second look. The most serious thing I did was to write a letter to Xu Ningzhi, reporting everything in detail.

Wei Xi like this belongs only to Xu Ningzhi.

From that day when he received the secret letter of the late emperor's death to now, in less than a month, although Wei Xi fell for her completely, Shen Rongnian knew in his heart that these were all illusions, and not a single breath of Wei Xi belonged to her.

She didn't know the reason behind the illusion, but it definitely wasn't just Shen Jiajun, but she didn't want to get to the bottom of it. For four years, her obsession with Wei Xi had overshadowed everything else.

At least, the current Wei Xi is far better than Wei Xi who loves Xu Ningzhi deeply and avoids her.

A short sentence floated into his ears, Wei Xi clenched the reins tightly, his heart twitched, liking... disliking... what's the use?

From the moment she stepped into the capital in her previous life, her heart was cold. Xu Ningzhi's endless perfunctory and evasion pushed her into the abyss little by little, and the last glass of poisoned wine completely cut off the friendship between the two of them.

From the very beginning, their relationship was not dominated by her, everything depends on whether Xu Ningzhi likes it or not, it doesn't matter if she likes it or not.

Really tired... It's not as good as being with Shen Rongnian.

This month, she tried to pass on the kindness to Xu Ningzhi to Shen Rongnian, she was very relaxed, and Shen Rongnian was also happy, so why not do it?

Instead of being obsessed with Xu Ningzhi, it is better to cherish the person in front of you.

Feeling better, Wei Xi let out a foul breath, and looked at the city wall not far away calmly, "I don't like it anymore."

Shen Rongnian's heart skipped a beat, and he pinched his palms to calm himself down, "Then... what about me?"

Wei Xi just stared at the city wall, "Xu Nanzhao is here."

On the tall city tower, a tall and straight man stood with his hands behind his back, his stern face was somewhat similar to that of Xu Ningzhi when he was not smiling.

This is Xu Ningzhi's father, Xu Nanzhao, the chief assistant of Dayan.

He is also the person Wei Xi hates the most.

Originally, she thought Xu Ningzhi was the same as her.

In the end, she was no match for the blood relatives of the family.

Xu Nanzhao looked down at the tens of thousands of Shen Jiajun, his face was calm, and his gorgeous clothes were meticulous.

"Xu Nanzhao." Wei Xi called his name directly, with undisguised disgust in his eyes, "You pointed your bow and crossbow at his daughter and at the soldiers guarding the northern border before the emperor's bones were cold. What is your intention?"

Xu Nanzhao laughed loudly, "Your Highness Seventh, I still want to ask you, why did you lead the army to the city before the bones of the late emperor were cold?"

"Father is passing away. I am afraid that the villain will make trouble and overthrow my orthodoxy, so why not lead the army to protect the stability of the capital?" Wei Xi said with a cold face, a little impatient.

"One hour ago, His Highness the Ninth Highness has inherited the great rule and became the new Lord of my Great Yan." Xu Nanzhao spoke loudly, looking at the Shen family army below with disdain, "The capital is stable, and His Majesty specially decreed that His Highness Seventh should return to Northern Xinjiang."

Wei Xi's pupils shrank slightly, and he was one step too late.

Xu Nanzhao took a step forward and put one hand on the city wall, "Why, His Highness the Seventh Prince is unwilling and wants to resist the edict?"

Wei Xi's face was frosty, "Ninth brother is young, who knows whose decree this is, what's more, I came back to attend the funeral, how can I return without going to the city?"

"What does His Majesty the Seventh Highness mean? Forgive me for being stupid. I have been an official for decades and I still don't know who the imperial decree will come out. Who else can His Majesty choose? As for the funeral, His Majesty has already exempted you from running around."

Wei Xi clenched his fist, almost wanting to swing it in his face.

Shen Rongnian broke away her hand and squeezed her palm.

"Let Wei Hong tell me personally." Wei Xi said coldly, "Keeping your own sister out of the city is definitely not the way of a king."

Xu Nanzhao frowned, "Your Highness Seventh, please speak carefully."

"Since you have inherited the great rule, don't you even dare to come out to see me?" Wei Xi said sarcastically, with no intention of shutting up, "Or is he just your puppet?"

Xu Nanzhao looked at her coldly and gestured.

"It looks like a puppet, let you call and drink." Wei Xi smiled as he watched the attendant turn and leave, "I have pity on my ninth brother, who is young and ignorant, and was deceived by you."

Xu Nanzhao just put his hands behind his back and didn't say a word.

It was raining again, Wei Xi straightened his back, pulled his cloak around Shen Rongnian, and there was a vague smile on the corner of his lips.

After about two quarters of an hour, a chariot went up the tower.

Wei Hong sat on it, and the palace servants raised the chariot.

Fifty feet away, Wei Xi looked at him.

There was no expression on Young Emperor's immature face, his cold expression was exactly the same as Xu Nanzhao's.

Wei Xi's mother's family is the Shen family, while Wei Hong's mother's family is the Xu family.

Xu Nanzhao is his grandfather, and Xu Ningzhi is his aunt.

It's no wonder that Xu Ningzhi didn't choose her. The so-called love in a moment of brainstorming can't compare to the eternal blood relationship.

Wei Xi laughed at himself.

"Seventh Sister." Wei Hong said, sitting upright, "I'm here, what do you want to say to me?"

Wei Xi shook his head lightly, looking indifferent, "I don't say anything, I just want to see you. I haven't seen you for half a year, and you've grown up again."

She seemed to be chatting and reminiscing about the past, Wei Hong's face was narrowed, the corners of his lips were tense, "Seventh sister, I have already ascended the throne."

"I know." Wei Xi cupped his hands in the air, as a salute to him, "Everyone in the world knows that you have ascended the throne and become the new emperor, and I have no objection. I just want to pay homage to my father."

"As a man and a child, you must never forget your roots." Wei Xi said earnestly, "When my father passed away, I was in northern Xinjiang, and I couldn't see him for the last time. Now that I have finally arrived in the capital, how can I pass the house and not enter?"

Wei Hong straightened his lips and remained silent.

"You don't need the Shen family's army to pay homage to the late emperor, right?" Xu Nanzhao answered, glancing down his eyes, "Your Highness Seventh's move is really inappropriate."

Wei Xi smiled, "I just said that the Shen family army came to protect the capital. Now that the capital is stable, there is no need for the Shen family army. It is enough for me to enter the city alone."

Wei Hong moved his lips and looked at Xu Nanzhao.

Xu Nanzhao glanced at Shen Rongnian who was in Wei Xi's arms, and suddenly said: "Your Highness and the dog girl haven't seen each other for half a year, so you empathized with others?"

"Empathy?" Wei Xi raised his eyelids and tightened his cloak, "She is my cousin, Shen Rongnian. I have always been attached to her, and I have never empathized."

Xu Nanzhao's eyes were deep and his face tensed.

Suddenly, two more figures appeared in the rain curtain.

The maid held an umbrella, and the person walking in front was dressed in plain clothes, embellished with only one step, and folded his hands by his side, walking gracefully.

Wei Xi could only see her slender neck and beautiful jaw, but couldn't help but breathe harder.

Thinking back to her previous life, Xu Ningzhi also got off the canopy-covered chariot. She still remembers her gorgeous appearance in that palace dress, and also remembers the taste of peeling it off a little bit.

"Father." The person under the umbrella said softly.

Xu Nanzhao scolded in a low voice, "Useless things!"

Moving to the city wall, the person under the umbrella stretched out his hand to catch the falling raindrops, and wrote lightly: "You are defeated."

The umbrella turned up, revealing her bursting smile, which added some color to her pale thin lips, and her appearance became more and more attractive.

Wei Xi stared at her intently, the umbrella was raised again, his bewitching eyes were full of autumn water, just one glance made one's body go limp.

"Xiaoxi." Xu Ningzhi looked at her leisurely, with a casual tone, "Do you dare to say what you said just now?"

She didn't give Shen Rongnian the slightest look. As she said, Shen Rongnian was just one of his defeated opponents, so there was nothing to worry about.

Her attitude is too natural, Wei Xi's heart burst into flames, "Why don't you dare, I want to divorce you!"

The people on the tower were silent for a while, their eyebrows frowned slightly, their voices turned cold, and they repeated, "Retire?"

"That's right, I'm going to marry Sister Rong." Wei Xi scooped up Shen Rongnian, bowed his head and kissed her face, swearing sovereignty, "Shen Rongnian will be my fiancee from now on."

Shen Rongnian silently wiped his face, closing his eyes to cooperate with her.

Looking down from the tower, the two people on the same ride behaved intimately, Shen Rongnian's tranquility matched Wei Xi's flamboyance, it was exceptionally harmonious, but also extremely dazzling.

Xu Ningzhi smiled instead of anger, staring at Wei Xi below with those charming eyes, and paused every word, "Unless I die."
