"Princess, our young master has sent back another battle report! Don't guess, did the young master win or didn't win this time? Bi'er came back from outside happily and said to Cheng Jingxi, who was sitting at the window of the dormitory in a daze.

Bi'er was sent to her by Cheng Jingheng a few days ago, and the specific date should be half a month ago, the day when Ye Huaiyu led the troops to the battle.

Xu was afraid that she wouldn't want to commit suicide, so he looked at her.

Cheng Jingxi glanced back at her when she heard this, and she could judge whether it was good news by looking at the appearance of this little girl, she was beaming, of course there was no problem with Ye Huaiyu.

Still, she was willing to play such a game with her.

"I guess," she said, pinching her fingers, "must have defeated the enemy!" ”

Bi'er made a very admiring and surprised expression, and chewed the words: "The princess is really clever!" ”

Conversations like these are staged every day or two.

The master and servant all tacitly understood that each time was as fresh as the first time.

It shows how boring the life of the two is on weekdays.

It can also be seen how worried the two of them are.

Half a month has passed since such days, and more than a month has passed since Ye Huaiyu went to the south to quell the chaos.

One day, Bi'er came back from outside, and she couldn't hide the expression on her face in time, so Cheng Jingxi, who was standing at the door of the dormitory, was uneasy.

A heart sank suddenly.

"Princess ......" approached and found that Bi'er's eyes were already red.

Cheng Jingxi tried her best to keep herself standing still, her lips moved, and she worked hard for a long time before she struggled to squeeze out a sentence from her throat, "Is there any good news?" ”

Bi'er's tears flowed down the ground, and she knelt on the ground with a puff, "Princess...... Master...... The young master ...... him."

Cheng Jingxi's heart was troubled, and the depression that had been suppressed for days suddenly broke out at this time, "What kind of system is it?" Can't you speak? Young Master, what's wrong with him? ”

Bi'er was frightened, and kept kowtowing to her until there was a bruise on her head, and then she could find her voice back, "Young master, the young master brought a small group of soldiers to break into the barracks the day before yesterday to attack the enemy army, but ...... There has been no news until now......"

Cheng Jingxi's knees suddenly weakened, and she stumbled a few steps, and Bi'er quickly knelt over and hurriedly helped her steady, "Princess! ”

Cheng Jingxi broke away from Bi'er and stumbled back to the house.

Bi'er followed closely uneasily, "Princess, what's wrong with you, princess?" What are you going to do? You ......"

She wordlessly watched Cheng Jingxi start to dress up, and asked her to bring her favorite dress on weekdays to change into, after a rest, Cheng Jingxi's whole person changed from her previous decadence, and she finally looked a little energetic.

"Princess, you are ......"

Cheng Jingxi didn't speak, and walked out.

Since she was placed under house arrest, she has not been out once.

When Ye Huaiyu led the troops to the battle, the Manchu Dynasty went to see him off, and Cheng Jingheng went to give him a strong march in person, but she only warmed a pot of wine in the dormitory, put all her thoughts in the wine, and raised a glass to the south.

Ye Huaiyu, I wish you a victory.

That night, she was very drunk, and then slept for three days and three nights.

Now she finally walked out of the door of the dormitory and walked towards Cheng Jingheng's study again.

She knelt down at the door of her study.

Cheng Jingheng closed the door and disappeared, and Gao Gonggong persuaded hard in front of Cheng Jingxi, which was useless.

Both sisters and brothers are so stubborn, and I don't know if it's bad to be like this.

"Your Royal Highness, the emperor is not a guest today, it is not a matter for you to kneel like this, it is better to go back for the time being, and when the emperor allows you to see the guest, the old slave will let someone inform you, do you think it will work?"

Cheng Jingxi was unmoved, it seemed that Cheng Jingheng would never kneel here if she didn't see her.

The distress in Grandpa Gao's eyes is not pretended.

But he didn't dare to persuade Cheng Jingheng in front of him, although Cheng Jingheng trusted him, it didn't mean that he could do whatever he wanted, and he could manage anything.

When the sun rose overhead, Cheng Jingxi felt like she was about to faint.

Cheng Jingheng's recital was watched for a long time, but he didn't understand what was written in it.

I simply put it down, took a sip of tea that was moderately hot and cold, and said slowly: "Is the imperial sister still kneeling?" ”

Gao Gonggong hurriedly pondered and said: "Yes, the princess is very strong, how can the old slave persuade her, the princess just won't go back!" ”

Cheng Jingheng silently looked at the void for a while, and then took the chessboard, "Father-in-law Gao, accompany me to play a game of chess!" ”

Gao Gonggong's eyebrows moved slightly, and he couldn't help but worry about Her Royal Highness the princess.

The emperor did not like to play chess, and he would never touch the chessboard unless it was necessary.

He played chess, indicating that he was angry.

Cheng Jingheng stayed in the study overnight, Cheng Jingxi didn't sleep all night, just kneeling all the time.

The second day was as usual.

The third day remains.

In the middle of the third day, Cheng Jingxi finally couldn't support it and fainted involuntarily.

Her lips were chapped, her face was bloodless, and she looked thin.

The makeup that day had been carefully put on had been spent, and the clothes on my body seemed to have been faded by the sun, and they looked dull at all.

Cheng Jingheng ordered someone to carry her into the palace, called all the imperial doctors, and personally accompanied her.

It's not a big problem, it's just that I knelt for three days in a row, and my body couldn't bear it.

The imperial doctor boiled a decoction, Bi'er fed her with red circles under her eyes, Cheng Jingxi had been a little delirious, half of the medicine was drunk, half of it was vomited, and it was easy to drink it, and she fell asleep deeply.

"Is there really no problem with the imperial sister?"

"Back to the emperor," said the imperial doctor, "the princess is in good health, and the reason why she faints is caused by being exposed to the wind and sun outside for a few days, as long as she rests more, she will be cured the day after tomorrow." ”

Cheng Jingheng nodded and waved his hand, "Step aside!" He looked at Bi'er again, "You go down too!" ”

Bi'er didn't dare to have any objections, so she hurriedly packed her things and ran.

There were two sisters and brothers left in the dormitory, Cheng Jingheng looked down at Cheng Jingxi for a long time, looked at her frowning brows in her sleep, and looked at the stubbornness between her eyebrows that she couldn't hold back even if she fell asleep, and finally had to sigh a long sigh.

Defeated to you.

He said softly in his heart.

I've lost it to you!

The imperial doctor's estimate was still late, Cheng Jingxi woke up the next night, and when she woke up, she saw Cheng Jingheng lying next to the bed.

The siblings were relatively silent.

Cheng Jingheng suddenly remembered the past, when the two of them were very ignorant, at that time, the two were still good sisters and brothers who had nothing to talk about, and good friends. The two of them seem to have endless words to talk about every day, endless games waiting for them to play, as if there will never be a day when disaster will come.

Later, the disaster really came, and then they were really strangers.

He didn't know what went wrong, he thought about it for a long time, and no one could give an answer.

But now he didn't want to know, it was so far that it didn't make sense to pursue those further.

"Let's go." After a long time, Cheng Jingheng finally opened his mouth, old-fashioned, lifeless, and without the slightest vitality that a thirteen-year-old boy should have.

Cheng Jingxi pursed the corners of her lips, and then lowered her eyes and said quietly: "Jingxi, Emperor Xie." ”

"Imperial sister ......" Cheng Jingheng suddenly wanted to speak and stopped.

Cheng Jingxi raised her eyes to look at him, waiting for his next step.

Forget it, what's there to say!

"This time to the south, there are many dangers, the royal sister must be cautious and careful all the way, and don't fall into the way of others."

The corners of Cheng Jingxi's lips gradually softened and gentle, nodded and said, "Jingxi knows." ”

Cheng Jingheng didn't have anything to say, so he called Bi'er, who was waiting outside, and went back to his place.

Sisters and brothers are still sisters and brothers, and they are no longer sisters and brothers.

She has her long love road, and he has his vast country.

She has her own Yangguan Road to go, and he has her own single-plank bridge to guard.

From now on, I will really be alone.

Cheng Jingxi went into battle and rode the horse given to her by her father all the way to the south.

But she forgot one of her fatal flaws - not knowing the way.

Cheng Jingheng asked someone to draw an extremely detailed route map before she left, and Cheng Jingxi ran all the way to look at it, so that it seemed that she could find the base camp of Jokhang smoothly, but God did not fulfill people's wishes, she actually looked at the map and poked directly into the enemy's camp.

The enemy was startled and captured her without incident.

However, as soon as she was about to be interrogated, she encountered an emergency gathering, and everyone was ready to go.

Cheng Jingxi, who was tied to the pillar, didn't know why, didn't know what happened to them suddenly.

But soon she understood, because she could already see Ye Huaiyu riding on a horse from a distance.

There was some excitement in her heart, but she did not dare to shout, she was afraid that the enemy would threaten him as a hostage if they found out, although she was not sure if he would be threatened.

I don't know if Ye Huaiyu saw her.

Behind him, tens of thousands of troops were on standby, confronting this side.

I don't know what happened in the past month, how they got to this point, but judging from the current situation, the situation seems to be favorable to Ye Huaiyu.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for people to chase them to the door and fight.

Cheng Jingxi felt a little relieved, but she didn't worry much about that side, but she was tied up like this, which didn't look very good.

There was a short dagger in her sleeve that she put in before leaving Beijing, which was given to her by Ye Huaiyu when Qingming was killed, and she had always put it properly, and when she came out this time, she took it with her.

I didn't expect it to really come in handy.

The war in front is about to break out, swords face each other, hand-to-hand combat, everyone wants to send the other party to see Hades first, but the choice of life and death, there will always be someone who wants to die first, and there will always be the same end.

In the sound of killing, Cheng Jingxi took out the short dagger and carefully sharpened the rope.

The dagger was so sharp that it didn't take long for the thick rope to break, and with a little more force, the rope broke off.
