An Ruiqi, who voluntarily demoted to the post of superintendent, was responsible for managing and deciding matters in the army, and was already very busy, and because he went out without authorization and led troops to meet the enemy, he was delayed for a lot of time, so he accumulated hundreds of military affairs for him to decide without paying attention. An Ruiqi looked at the mountains of documents on the desk helplessly, and sighed lightly, but when he thought that he could go to see his Yue'er after reviewing them all, he suddenly felt refreshed and refreshed. After An Ruiqi methodically handled all kinds of affairs one by one, it was already sunset. He quickly put down the cinnabar pen in his hand, instructed the guards to present all the documents to the commander for him, and then grabbed the medicine bottle he had taken from Shen Yidao's hand, and walked towards Ning Yue and Xiaoyan's tent with a lively foot. An Ruiqi walked into the tent leisurely, looked around, and saw Ning Yue sitting quietly on the bench fanning the fire. The fire was blazing, and the fragrant heat was constantly rising from the iron pot, filling the whole tent, which was very tempting.

"Yue'er is not used to eating coarse food in the army? If you want to eat porridge, I'll have someone boil it for you. An Ruiqi paced to Ning Yue's side, looked at her with concern, and said softly.

"Brother Qi......" Suddenly hearing An Ruiqi's voice, Ning Yue couldn't help but be a little surprised, she raised her head and smiled at An Ruiqi, and replied: "This porridge is prepared for the big boss, anyway, I have nothing to do, so I won't work for others." ”

An Ruiqi felt very uncomfortable when he heard this, he was stunned for a while, and then sat down and said in a low voice: "Yue'er, put it away." An Ruiqi put the medicine bottle on Ning Yue's palm, and then wrapped her hand with both hands and stroked it gently.

Ning Yue recognized the medicine bottle and hurriedly replied: "Brother Qi, my little woman doesn't need this life-saving medicine, and now that you are out fighting, it is better to keep it by your side in case of emergency." Ning Yue wanted to return the medicine bottle, but An Ruiqi held it tightly and couldn't break free.

"As long as you stay by my side all the time, what does it make if this medicine is in whose hands?" After speaking, An Ruiqi showed a faint smile. Ning Yue's body trembled slightly after hearing this, and she hurriedly lowered her head to avoid An Ruiqi's clear gaze, afraid that he would see through her inner turmoil and wavering. Seeing that she didn't answer, An Ruiqi asked softly, "Don't you want to be with me?" Or have you been hiding here for a long time? Suddenly, An Ruiqi's eyes became extremely deep, making it impossible to understand what he was thinking.

Ning Yue saw that An Ruiqi seemed to be aware of his thoughts, and an inexplicable bitterness suddenly came to his heart, not wanting to deceive him, but he couldn't bear to tell him that he had already made up his mind to leave the capital and go to Jiangnan to make a living, so he had to answer lightly: "Brother Qi, do you believe that Duan Gongzi's death has nothing to do with me, and I am not a murderer?" I'm afraid that I will die unjustly, but I'm even more afraid that you will look down on me because of this case...... Seeing that the March period has come, and when the fighting has subsided, I will return to Beijing with you to stand trial, and no matter how the government decides, I will not have the slightest complaint, I just ask you to believe that I have never done anything unreasonable, and this is enough......"

An Ruiqi reached out to hold her chin, met her tearful eyes, and whispered back: "I believe it!" How could I not believe it? My Yue'er is gentle and kind, and she is the best person in the world! Don't be afraid, Yue'er, I will protect you and will never let others bully you again! Hearing An Ruiqi's doting words, Ning Yue felt a burst of heat on her face and a throbbing in her chest. Seeing that she was a little dazed, An Ruiqi pinched her cheek and continued: "I have a certain number in my heart about the ins and outs of the murder, Yue'er, you can return to Beijing with peace of mind, and I will wash away your grievances for you." ”

"Brother Qi, thank you......" Thinking that the day when the case finally came to light, and he no longer had to bear the notoriety of murder, Ning Yue couldn't help but cry like rain.

"Why do you and I need to say thank you?" An Ruiqi wiped away her tears and continued: "Yue'er, I was too stupid in the past, thinking that holding power would allow you to live a worry-free life, but it was counterproductive if I didn't want to...... Whenever I think that you almost lost your life because of my stupidity and negligence, I will want to crush myself to ashes, but when I think about it, even if I die is not a pity, if I can keep this body and shelter you from the wind and rain, it will not be in vain in this life, so I have the cheekiness to come to see you and beg for your forgiveness......"

An Ruiqi's cautious tone made Ning Yue's heart like a knife, and she whimpered and replied: "Brother Qi, you never owe me anything, but I ...... it" Brother Qi, please don't be so good to me, I really can't repay it......

"When the real murderer is subdued, I will ask the court to resign, and then ask my father to make the decision for us, I don't know what you think?" An Ruiqi watched her quietly, holding her hands tightly, revealing the firmness of his heart every word. "Although I can't give you food and clothing, I will protect you wholeheartedly and treat you well, Yue'er, are you willing to stay with me like this for the rest of your life?"

"Brother Qi...... I know that the second miss's heart is towards you, but it's just ...... She has been so strong since she was a child, so she will leave you if you have no merit...... But now that you're a general, she'......"

Before Ning Yue finished speaking, An Ruiqi violently pulled her into his arms and said excitedly: "What does this matter have to do with her? Yue'er, did you never understand my heart for you? ”

"You and the eldest young master fell in love with the second young lady at first sight, and everyone in Anning and the two mansions knew about it......," Ning Yue replied softly, feeling pain in her heart.

An Ruiqi slowly let go of his arms, teased her green silk with his hand, and replied a little sadly: "It's not good for me to let you misunderstand...... But over the years, I have always had you in my heart, and only you ......"

Ning Yue was shocked when she heard this, her eyes widened, and she looked at An Ruiqi in disbelief, her heart was turbulent, and she couldn't calm down for a long time. The long-term thoughts turned into midnight dreams, and the loss when she woke up again and again, Ning Yue's heart was not only tormented by this illusory and ethereal like a mirror, but she would often blame herself for her delusions: You have said to the second miss more than once that you would bless her and Brother Qi, could it be that it is all against your will? Or are you just a two-faced villain? It's a pity that in this world, there is nothing more uncontrollable than the human heart, no matter how much she blames herself, it is in vain after all. Unexpectedly, An Ruiqi would say such a thing at this moment, which really confused her. Is this a dream or ...... After being silent for a long time, Ning Yue shook her head and replied with melancholy: "I...... General An Da will not approve of it...... "What's more, the capital has never been a place for me to settle down......

"So, you agreed?" An Ruiqi couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this, took Ning Yue's hand and put it on his lips, looked at Ning Yue with burning eyes and said: "My father has always loved me, for the sake of my sincerity, I will not bear to disturb more." Yue'er, you just need to prepare to marry into Anfu with peace of mind, and leave everything to me to deal with. After finishing speaking, An Ruiqi smiled even more happily.

Ning Yue lowered her head and was noncommittal. Brother Qi, can you and me really go as smoothly as you say......

Outside the tent, a figure that had stood for a long time finally took heavy steps and left gloomily, leaving a lonely place.
