Chapter 51: Forgetting the Water
To the south of the Liang Kingdom, corpses were strewn all over the field, and a few faint fires burned on the ground.
Situ Jing was in a state of embarrassment, standing on the side was Fang Yu, and behind him was the army he brought to annihilate Yanhou.
Kneeling in front of Situ Jing was Yan Hou, who lowered his head and said tremblingly, "After all, I was defeated." All his troops have been annihilated by Situ Jing, and there is no capital for rebellion.
Situ Jing looked at Yan Hou coldly, and when he was about to speak, Yan Xia and Yan Mi rushed over, knelt in front of him and begged, Yan Xia said, "Uncle, please spare our father."
Yan Mi said anxiously, "Daddy is just a momentary nonsense, please spare him, brother-in-law."
The two words of brother-in-law were extremely harsh in Situ Jing's ears, and everyone at that time was against him and Shui Ling'er marrying, but he repeatedly supported it, in addition to taking revenge on Lord Mingsheng, presumably it was also for this moment, leaving himself a way back.
Situ Jing said coldly, "I'm not your brother-in-law." After speaking, he said to Fang Yu: "Put Yanhou in prison and take him to the imperial capital, and the emperor will decide it himself."
He turned to leave, looking at the starry sky in the sky, remembering the last night before separating from Shui Ling'er, no matter how much lingering he was, he still couldn't bear the silence of these days, he muttered to himself, "Shui Ling'er, how are you doing?" obviously gave her a finger, but he didn't even send a letter back, and when she came back, she would definitely have to be interrogated.
A few hours later, back in the barracks, Situ Jing sat on a chair tiredly, closed his eyes and looked up.
In a moment, a pair of hands pressed his shoulders, he quickly grabbed this hand, opened his eyes suddenly, and then shook it off vigorously, and said sternly, "What are you doing here?" It seemed so tired that she didn't even notice she was coming in.
Rong Ye took a few steps back and said, "I saw that the prince had just come back and made some snacks for you, and I happened to see that you were too tired, so I helped you massage."
Situ Jing said coldly, "No need."
Rong Ye lowered her head, that day the prince sent someone to send her back to the imperial capital, it was she who cried and made trouble, and the prince reluctantly let her stay, thinking that she had done everything for him in the past few days, cooking, and bathing him with hot water, he would have a better opinion of her, but in fact, he was still as cold to her as he was at the beginning.
"What are you doing here? Get out!"
Rong Ye said aggrievedly, "Yes." After a brief salute, she walked out of the canopy.
Just as she was about to walk back to her military tent, Yan Mi walked over and said in a voice beside her that only the two of them could hear, "Princess Jing, Daddy has something to look for you."
Rong Ye wondered, "Looking for me?" She didn't know Yanhou, and she hadn't even seen him.
"Exactly, Daddy said that he has a way to make King Jing's heart turn towards you, as long as you go to see him, you can know."
Rong Ye couldn't help but be suspicious of this sudden kindness, and said, "What does your father want to do?"
"Daddy is already in prison, what else can he do?"
Rong Ye hesitated for a moment, just to meet once, and if there was really a way to make King Jing's heart turn towards her, it would not be without benefit, she said, "Okay, I'll meet him."
Rong Ye and Yan Mi avoided the eyes of the guards, and it didn't take long for them to come to the military tent where Yan Hou was being held.
Yan Mi said: "Princess, you and your father talk slowly, I will guard outside, and I will notify you whenever there is any movement."
After Rong Ye nodded, Yan Mi walked out.
She cautiously walked to the cage and said vigilantly, "Do you have a way to make King Jing's heart turn towards me?"
Yan Hou looked up at Rong Ye and chuckled, "Yes."
"What's the solution?"
"I can tell you how to do it, but instead, you want to let me out."
Rong Ye was silent for a moment and said, "Even if you are let out, there are many guards outside, and you can't get out."
"You don't have to worry about this, as long as I get out of here, there is a way to escape. Yan Xia and Yan Mi will drag King Jing when they arrive, so you can just let me go at that time."
Rong Ye thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll help you escape, but how do you make King Jing's heart turn towards me?" As long as Situ Jing's heart is towards her, even if he finds out afterwards that she let Yanhou go, he will not blame her.
Yan Hou took out a small white glass bottle from his bosom and said, "This is the forgetfulness water from Tianzhu, as long as it is poured into the tea and let people drink it, that person will forget the person he loves in his heart." Once he wanted to forget Mingsheng, and begged for this forgetful water, but when he wanted to enter, he gave up, he loved Mingsheng, and would rather hate her than forget her.
Rong Ye looked at the medicine bottle in Yan Hou's hand, and said suspiciously, "How can I believe that what you said is true?"
"The princess will find someone to try."
"Aren't you afraid that I won't let you go if I take this forgetful water?"
Yan Hou chuckled and said, "The old man believes that the princess is a trustworthy person, and after you use it, King Jing will be different, the old man can complain to Fang Yu and say that you did it, when it comes, who will be more embarrassed?"
Rong Ye hesitated for a moment, took the medicine bottle in Yan Hou's hand, and said, "I'll believe you once."
"Heh, the old man wishes the princess all the best."
Rong Ye snorted coldly and walked out of the military tent, she had to find someone to test whether the love water in the bottle in her hand was real.
An hour later, Rong Ye sat in her military tent, and she poured some of the water of her love into the teacup that filled half a cup of tea.
Xiao Rou walked in and said, "Princess, why don't you sleep at such a late hour?" She walked over to the bed and spread the quilt.
Rong Ye said casually, "Xiao Rou, you like General Chen next to King Jing, don't you?"
Xiao Rou was stunned, she stood up and faced Rong Ye, and said shyly, "Princess, why did you say this suddenly?"
"I see that you are just over the marriageable age, and it will not be good if you are past the marriageable age, or I will send someone to tell you the matchmaker."
"But General Chen was born into a family, and I am just a servant girl, and I am not worthy of him."
Rong Ye beckoned Xiao Rou to sit next to her, and Xiao Rou walked over and sat down.
Rong Ye held her hands and said, "You and I have grown up since I was a child, and I am like a sister, I can accept you as a righteous sister, so why is it not worthy of General Chen?"
Xiao Rou was moved and said, "Princess, you treat Xiao Rou so well, and you are worshiped by Xiao Rou." Xiaorou stood up and wanted to kneel, but was pulled by Rong Ye.
Rong Ye chuckled and said, "You and I are both sisters, why bother to make such a big gift." She picked up the teacup on the table with the water of forgetfulness to Xiao Rou and said, "Replace wine with tea, you drink this cup of tea, you recognize me as a sister."
"Okay." Xiao Rou took the teacup and drank it.
Rong Ye said happily, "When I return to the imperial capital, I will send someone to General Chen's mansion to talk to the matchmaker."
"Thank you, Princess."
At dawn the next day, Xiao Rou brought water to Rong Ye's military tent as usual to help her freshen up.
Rong Ye saw that Xiao Rou didn't seem to have changed, and she said, "Xiao Rou, I said last night that I would send a matchmaker to General Chen's mansion to help you say goodbye, and when you return to the imperial capital, I will ask the embroidery lady in the palace to help you sew the wedding dress."
Xiao Rou said with a difficult face, "Princess, who is General Chen? Why did Xiaorou marry him?"
Rong Ye was stunned for a moment and said, "It's General Chen next to King Jing."
Xiao Rou thought for a moment and said, "There seems to be such a person, but Xiao Rou has no impression of him at all, let alone wants to marry him."
Rong Ye nodded understandingly, and said, "It's me who blames you, if you have someone you like, just tell me, and I'll send a matchmaker to say kiss for you."
Xiao Rou said happily, "The princess treats Xiao Rou so well."
An hour later, Rong Ye took the brewed tea and walked into Situ Jing's military tent.
Rong Ye carefully put the tea on the desk, poured a cup of tea and handed it to Situ Jing, and said, "King Jing, this is the tea I collected the dew drops in the morning." Although Situ Jing was cold to her, he would eat the snacks and tea she sent.
Situ Jing took the tea, didn't look up at her at all, still lowered his head to look at the official document, and slowly tasted the tea.
After Rong Ye saluted with satisfaction, he turned around and walked out of the military tent.
Outside the military tent, Ming Sheng was about to walk into the military tent, and after the two of them glanced at each other, they passed by.
Yan Xia and Yan Mi followed behind Ming Sheng, Yan Mi walked past Rong Ye and whispered, "It's now."
After Rong Ye nodded, he walked towards the military tent where Yan Hou was being held.
After Ming Sheng walked into Situ Jing's military tent, Situ Jing saw it, immediately stood up and walked in front of Ming Sheng, saluted, and said, "Lord Ming Sheng, it's okay."
Ming Sheng knelt on the ground, Yan Xia and Yan Mi also knelt on the ground, Ming Sheng cried and said, "King Jing, please let Yan Hou go for my sister's sake, even if he is guilty, he is still my husband."
Situ Jing helped Mingsheng up and said, "Lord Mingsheng, the younger brother is just arresting Yanhou on the emperor's orders, and the rest is decided by the emperor."
"The emperor is closest to you, you help your sister to ask the emperor, and the emperor will definitely open up."
"Lord Mingsheng, the family has family rules, the country has national laws, Yan Hou has committed the great crime of rebellion, you and Yan Xia Yanmi can get out, it is already the emperor's grace."
"My sister knows that this is very difficult for you, but my sister only asks that Yan Hou have a way to live."
Situ Jing was silent for a moment and said, "The death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped." There are many ways to get a serious offender to die.
"Thank you, sister." Ming Sheng wiped away his tears and said, "Shui Ling'er is really blessed to marry a good man like King Jing."
"This is what I should do." Situ Jing didn't know what he was talking about, his thoughts began to be confused, everything about Shui Ling'er became more and more blurred, and even, he asked himself, who is Shui Ling'er?
In the evening, Fang Yu woke up Situ Jing, who was asleep on the table, and said, "King Jing, the war is over, you lie on the bed and rest, I will call you again if there is something."
Situ Jing stood up, he walked outside the military tent, looking at the starry sky in the sky, he wanted to ask Fang Yu something, but he forgot to ask something, he said, "It seems that I am really tired these days." He walked back to the tent, took off his coat, and lay down on the bed, and fell into a deep sleep.
There was a very important thing, but he forgot, he couldn't think of it, maybe tomorrow after a full sleep, he would remember.
Fang Yu didn't notice anything unusual, he only thought that Situ Jing was too tired to do this.
Shui Ling'er and Shui Wuxian who were far away in Chu didn't know how they were doing, and they didn't even send a letter back, although Situ Jing didn't mention it, but he knew that he would be worried.
