“Qing’er.”

Ji Shuisheng whispered into Su Qing’s ear. His hoarse voice was as intoxicating as old wine. Ji Shuisheng’s gentleness intoxicated Su Qing. She looked up at Ji Shuisheng’s eyes, which were filled with deep affection. She reached out and cupped his firm face. She had not seen him for a few days. He looked unkempt and bedraggled, as if it was the first time she had seen him. He looked rough and wild.

“Qing’er.”

Feeling Su Qing’s smooth and tender fingers moving on his cheek, sparks flew wherever her fingers passed. Ji Shuisheng called out Su Qing’s name in a low voice and lowered his head to kiss her red lips, intoxicating him.

Su Qing tiptoed cooperatively and wrapped her arms around Ji Shuisheng’s neck. She was even wilder and hotter than him. The two of them were like glue, and the warmth in the yurt rose sharply. It was about to reach the point of frying pancakes.

Xiaoying rubbed her eyes and sat up when she heard the strange sound. “Sister Su Qing, is my brother coming back?”

Her voice was like a clap of thunder that shook away the two engrossed people in their passionate exchange. Su Qing hurriedly turned around to tidy up her clothes that Ji Shuisheng had messed up. Ji Shuisheng also shrunk his stomach, fearing that his sister would notice his abnormality.

“Brother? When did you come back? Where did you go? Sister Su Qing and 1 have been looking for you for a long time.”

Xiaoying didn’t wait for Su Qing’s reply. She lowered her hand and looked over. She saw her big brother standing in the dim light in the room. Xiaoying jumped off the bed excitedly, holding her big brother’s hand and chattering non-stop.

“… Big brother… I stayed in the palace for two days.”

Ji Shuisheng’s voice was a little hoarse. He had no choice but to clear his throat before speaking. It was too awkward. He had forgotten about Su Qing after a long separation and was almost caught red-handed by his sister.

“Why did you go to the palace? Did the old Emperor treat you to a meal?”

Xiaoying didn’t notice the unnatural expression on her big brother’s face. She couldn’t help but ask him when she heard that her big brother had gone to the palace.

“Yes… Treat me to a meal.”

Ji Shuisheng finally managed to get Su Qing’s forgiveness and did not dare to mention Saiya’s forced marriage. If she knew that it was because he saved Saiya that he got into trouble, would she leave again?

Ji Shuisheng was worried about his gains and losses and dared not try it easily.

Su Qing straightened her clothes and turned around. She asked Ji Shuisheng as if nothing had happened, “Why did the old emperor treat you to a meal?”

She was asking casually to ease the awkwardness. Ji Shuisheng blinked at her, not knowing how to answer.

Su Qing raised her eyebrows. Was it difficult to answer? Why did it feel like Ji Shuisheng wanted to say something but hesitated?

“Qing’er, don’t be angry.”

Ji Shuisheng remembered that Su Qing had left him the last time because he did not communicate in time. He decided to say it himself. Otherwise, if Su Qing found out from others, she would misunderstand.

“Speak.”

Su Qing saw Ji Shuisheng’s expression and knew this matter was not ordinary. What would make him angry was only the relationship between men and women. Could the Emperor have chosen Ji Shuisheng to be his son-in-law?

“Qing’er, 1 saved Princess Saiya on the way to Ta City….”

Since Ji Shuisheng had decided to say it, he no longer planned to hide it. It would be the same in the future. If there were anything, he would tell Su Qing so that they wouldn’t misunderstand.

Su Qing was expressionless at first, but the more she listened, the higher her eyebrows rose and the colder her eyes became.

Ji Shuisheng saw Su Qing’s expression and didn’t dare to say that the old Emperor wanted to kill him. Otherwise, with Su Qing’s temper, wouldn’t she cause an uproar in the Tartan Royal Palace?

“I rejected the Emperor’s marriage and told him I would only marry Qing’er as my wife in this lifetime. The other women are all mediocre in my eyes.”

Ji Shuisheng hurriedly expressed his loyalty. “I only love you.” After saying that, he looked at Su Qing nervously. It was not easy for the two of them to reconcile. They can’t fall out because of Princess Saiya.

Ji Shuisheng saw that Su Qing’s face was as dark as water, and her eyes were dark and heavy. He could not tell what she was thinking. He asked Su Qing carefully,

“Qing’er, you…Are you angry?”

“You’re not telling the truth.”

Su Qing looked at Ji Shuisheng with a burning gaze. Shuisheng’s words were very subtle, but Su Qing felt that the old Emperor and Saiya must have made a move to force the marriage. They probably put Ji Shuisheng under house arrest in the palace.

“What 1 said was the truth. The old Emperor said that if I married Saiya, he would send troops to help me take revenge. I told him that if 1 wanted revenge, I would plan it myself and did not need his help.”

Because Su Qing did not believe him, Ji Shuisheng avoided the main topic and only told her about the Emperor seducing him.

Su Qing looked at Ji Shuisheng faintly. Ji Shuisheng was uncertain when he saw that she did not speak. Was she angry?

He regretted telling her. If he had known that Qing’er would be angry, he would have waited a few more days to tell her.

Xiaoying didn’t know that her brother had already reconciled with Sister Su Qing. Seeing her brother looking at Sister Su Qing nervously, she came over to speak up for him and shook Su Qing’s arm.

“Sister Su Qing, my brother loves you like the sea. Don’t be angry with him anymore.”

Su Qing was no longer angry at Xiaoying. She wasn’t angry at Ji Shuisheng at all. She was angry at the old Emperor and Saiya for having designs on her man.

However, this also proved that her man was outstanding. Otherwise, why would a dignified princess use temptation to marry Shuisheng?

“We can take revenge on our own.”

Su Qing finally spoke. The words’ we’ dispelled Ji Shuisheng’s anxiety. He smiled and nodded. “Yeah, we’ll be on our own.”

Su Qing rolled her eyes at Ji Shuisheng’s silly look. In Ji Shuisheng’s eyes, it was as if Su Qing was winking at him. He would have picked Su Qing up and lifted her high if it wasn’t for his sister.

Which woman was more generous than Qing’er?

Even the Prime Minister’s stomach couldn’t compare to his Qing’er.

Now that the misunderstanding had been resolved, Xiaoying was more energetic. The three of them sat together and chatted. Su Qing told Ji Shuisheng that Zhong Yong had also arrived and was set up to stay at the relay station.

Ji Shuisheng was happy to hear they had brought six more coal carts. This winter was a good opportunity for him to accumulate wealth.

“Shuisheng, Mo City is no longer safe. Why don’t you come to Jingshi Dao?”

Su Qing looked at Ji Shuisheng and said. After so many incidents, Mo City was targeted by many parties. It was not a place that could be used as a stronghold.

“Yes, I’ve also thought about this problem. Mo City is indeed not a place to stay for long.”

Ji Shuisheng looked at Su Qing. Safety was just an excuse. He had someone he loved on Jingshi Dao and did not want to be separated.

“Alright, I’ve already bought a house on Jingshi Dao. You can move there at any time.”

Su Qing was thrilled to hear that Ji Shuisheng would go to Jingshi Dao. She wished to plant ten thousand mu of fertile land, hoping that Shuisheng could accompany her to fulfil this wish.

Of course, farming was not just to fulfil one’s wish. The three armies had not shifted their rations yet. If Ji Shuisheng wanted to do something big, he had to solve the problem of allocations first. Farming was also to store up rations.

Usually, a rebellion would require a few years of preparation time. It would be a tragic victory if they were unprepared and acted rashly, even if they won.

Furthermore, recruiting soldiers and buying horses also required a process. Now that the Great Xia Kingdom was facing internal and external problems, especially Wan Yulin, who had the intention of rebelling, he would let the two sides fight to the death. At that time, he would sit back and reap the benefits.

It could be said that Su Qing helped Ji Shuisheng think very comprehensively. She was not called the God of War for nothing.

The next morning, Ji Shuisheng and Su Qing returned to Mo City after the transaction with the Third Prince. Yeluchun took them to the border, hoping to have a private talk with Xiaoying..
