Chapter 1301: Chapter 1302: Husband, When Did You Become So Violent?

This was what she and he had agreed upon a long time ago.

She and he had long agreed that if they were to go to battle, they would go together.

Therefore, when An Jing mentioned that the couple would lead the army into battle, Xiao Changyi didn’t say much, just the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, nodding his head gently, ”Mm.”

Yes, we will go into battle together.

An Jing smiled at Xiao Changyi again, then said, ”Let’s not talk about this, let’s talk about this silver needle.”

She pointed at the table with her finger, indicating for him to look at the item on the table. And there it was, the very silver needle Meng Zhuqing had shown them earlier.

”I don’t know if it’s because I’ve seen Gong Juechen use silver needles to treat and save people too often, but when Meng Zhuqing mentioned the silver needle in the bandit’s heart, I actually thought of Gong Juechen.”

Xiao Changyi said, ”Same here.”

”I must be overthinking it, it probably has nothing to do with Gong Juechen, not to mention whether he would kill for Ye Zhi or not, just the fact that he didn’t have time to do the murder tells us it wasn’t him.”

You see, last night when I couldn’t sleep, I went to see Ye Zhi, and Gong Juechen was right there beside her; this morning when I went to see Ye Zhi again, I found Gong Juechen still keeping vigil beside her; Ru Xi County is so far away, the time I didn’t see Gong Juechen wouldn’t have been enough for him to go to Ru Xi County and back, not even with the fastest horse.

Xiao Changyi said indifferently, ”He may not have had time to kill himself, but he could have had someone do it for him.”

An Jing was momentarily stunned.

Xiao Changyi continued slowly, ”Ye Zhi was injured not long ago, and then the bandit hideout was massacred. He really is suspicious.”

”But... would he really go to such lengths for Ye Zhi? And yes, we know his martial arts may be unfathomably deep like others, but if your suspicion is true, if he sent someone to do it, does that not imply that he still has significant influence?”

Xiao Changyi ignored An Jing’s first question and didn’t respond to it, instead he focused on her second question, stating emphatically, ”It’s just a suspicion, not a certainty.”

An Jing let out a sigh before saying with some exhaustion, ”I hope your suspicion isn’t true. If Chengyu finds out he still has a certain influence, he will be even more uneasy about him.”

Xiao Changyi said, ”I also hope this suspicion doesn’t turn out to be true.”

Seeing that it was time for the military training in the morning, An Jing stood up, ”I need to go train the troops.”

Xiao Changyi stood up as well.

An Jing asked, ”What, are you coming with me?”

”No, I am going to find Gong Juechen.”

”What for?”

”To ask if it was him who did it.”

An Jing couldn’t help but laugh, ”That man is full of lies; it’s useless to ask him.”

Xiao Changyi said, ”It’s useful.” He paused, ”If I find out he’s lying now, I’ll have a reason to beat him up later.”

An Jing: ”...” My lord, when did you become so violent?

...

Ye Zhi has been unconscious for twenty hours now, and she still hasn’t awakened. At this moment, Gong Juechen is still sitting beside Ye Zhi’s bed, keeping watch over her.

He hoped Ye Zhi would wake up.

He hoped the first person Ye Zhi would see upon waking up would be him.

Even if he was full of lies, every time he expressed his feelings for her, he was not deceiving her; it was the truth. He truly liked her.

If only she could wake up, if only she could understand his feelings, believe that his affection for her was genuine, how wonderful that would be...

Lost in his thoughts, Gong Juechen’s peach blossom eyes darkened significantly.

It was then Xiao Changyi walked in.

Upon entering, Xiao Changyi first glanced at Ye Zhi who was still lying on the bed without having woken up, then he said to Gong Juechen, ”The bandits on Everlasting Mountain were all killed last night.”
