Xiao Wangye's Beloved Wife

Chapter 58. Rat

Xiao Muqing turned his head to the side, Huang Mingxiang asleep on the back of his shoulder. Xiao Muqing's right hand moved, expending his profound strength to make Huang Mingxiang float gently and land on his lap. The man's wheelchair moved without the help of anyone's encouragement, a secret that only Gu Sinjie knew.

Xiao Muqing placed Huang Mingxiang's body very carefully on the mattress, his lips smiling back to see the woman falling asleep.

Xiao Muqing clasped tightly onto the wooden board of his bed, trying to move onto the mattress himself. Succeeding easily, the man had now laid neatly beside his wife.

Xiao Muqing stared at the ceiling of his room, he used to only find emptiness and darkness whenever he paid attention to his room. But now the opposite. When he saw Huang Mingxiang's things inside his room, warmth quietly spread throughout his body.

Xiao Muqing turned his head when he felt Huang Mingxiang move, the woman wriggled and was now curled right beside Xiao Muqing, clinging to the man's body. Xiao Muqing raised his hand, then grabbed onto Huang Mingxiang's shoulder. Huang Mingxiang's frown, shrinking in the cold air, slowly loosened. The woman's face again looks comfortable. .

"Young."

Gu Sinjie's voice rang out from behind the window of the room close to Xiao Muqing's bed, the man immediately glanced towards the source of the voice and replied, "Say."

"Recently I got word from General Qin, that the border was attacked by the Southeastern Huan Kingdom. The kingdom that two years ago had made a fuss in the new territory of the Empire." Gu Sinjie this time delivered a report regarding their military work.

"Hold them all, Sinjie. Allow General Qin to deploy an army as large as he wants. If this commotion gets any bigger, the Emperor or any other person will use this opportunity to 'borrow' our troops on the grounds of my physical limitations who cannot take the lead of the war" Xiao Muqing replied, his eyes turned cold again.

Gu Sinjie nodded in understanding. "Good, Wangye. However, still in the attack this time there was something strange. How could the Southeast Huan Kingdom dare to return after it had previously been beaten back so hard by our troops? The kingdom is indeed very intensely targeting our border region because there is a large gold mine belonging to the Empire. But, if recalculated attacks they are not suitable for this. Wangye, it's as if someone purposely opened the door for them to enter and attack."

"Is that the Emperor? But the Emperor could not foolishly look for trouble back with you, the events of three years ago should be enough to make him feel ashamed" Gu Sinjie continued.

Xiao Muqing closed his eyes. "There's no point guessing, Sinjie. Who wanted five hundred thousand troops out of the hands of many benwang, both from the Imperial family and big and small officials."

"Wangye, but being vigilant and putting spies on for some people we suspect is not a bad choice. Emperor, Huangtaihou, Prime Minister Rong. If someone opened the door for them, only three of them could. As for Prime Minister Huang, the man was unlikely, as Wangfei was his son. She can't possibly bother you because it'll affect her own child's happiness and life."

"Pulling spies next to Huangtaihou and the Emperor is not easy, Sinjie. They must have experienced, like us. Benwang has one idea that he himself is reluctant to do," said Xiao Muqing, at the end of the sentence his tone became a little low.

Gu Sinjie frowned, pensive. Trying to think for yourself what that idea was Xiao Muqing meant. But shortly thereafter he woke up. Both of his eyes widened, after which he slightly lowered his head. "Wangye, I believe that plan is the best plan. This was all done for the future of Xiao Wangfu, you, and Wangfei." Gu Sinjie then bowed from behind the window.

Gu Sinjie nodded, then replied, "Alright, Wangye. For Prime Minister Rong, I'll take care of it." After which he turned around and left the Xiao Muqing residence.

Gu Sinjie did not rush back to Gu Fu, his home. But it was precisely to the lips of the valley, the place where Baili Ruyi was. The man stared worriedly into the valley, secretly hoping that Baili Ruyi's figure would appear and return.

Gu Sinjie sat there, sighing in anger. Currently she was wearing a thick brown coat, in her hand was another thick brown coat. That coat he had brought for Baili Ruyi, as the woman had not brought any preparations for this impromptu winter.

"Go quickly to the surface, Ruyi. This valley is too quiet, as if there are no living beings in it, like you are dead, defeated in a landslide. If so, in what way did you die? Fight monsters or die silly cold?" Gu Sinjie's lips smiled blandly saying this, then he lay on the ground, staring at the stars.

"I couldn't see the stars clearly because the snow kept falling, blocking my view. Both are equally white, Ruyi. Is it in there you can see snow?" Gu Sinjie spoke for himself.

"The boundary has just been attacked, if the conflict gets bigger then the rats that always bother Wangye will be more agile to move. Isn't your dream to beat them all up that disturbs Wangye's composure, our senior?"

"Ruyi, what if I say that the question of my offer for you to become Gu Furen is not a joke? Are you still gonna punch me in the stomach?"

Gu Sinjie sighed furiously again, his forehead folded. "But, I doubt you can take good care of your home affairs. Your elegance value as a noblewoman is still below average."

"But, hey. I see my late mother every time you smile. The only difference was in attitude, my late mother was much more perfect and graceful, whereas you were like a man!" Even while talking to himself, Gu Sinjie still wore Baili Ruyi, but after that he smiled.

"If we really get married, I'll give you freedom. You can keep working or just take care of the house, both can. As long as you don't whine and cry, it doesn't matter. I hate to see your face cry, 'cause it's ugly like a pig."

Gu Sinjie chuckled to himself, then stood up and gazed down at the valley. "You should go back, Ruyi. Because I'm going to ask Wangye to lower our marriage certificate."

Gu Sinjie turned around, his lips still talking to himself. "But that doesn't mean I really want to marry you, your face that looks overconfident really sucks in my memory."

Gu Sinjie walked away from the valley, his right hand carrying Baili Ruyi's thick coat. Fifteen meters after Gu Sinjie walked over, a hand from within the valley appeared. The hand was trying to rise to the surface, looking dirty by the ground and blood. The hand was trembling, looking pale and cold. Before long a head of an alien creature that looks very creepy appeared. There was only a head, no other limbs.

After trying hard to rise to the surface, the figure finally succeeded. Baili Ruyi, the look in her eyes was staring intently and coldly around. The entire body of the woman trembled, the cold temperature beneath the valley was completely bone-chilling. His left hand held the head of the creepy alien creature earlier, he managed to return. However, before long Baili Ruyi's body fell into a pile of snow, her body limp, unable to move. It had already reached the peak of its power limit, the woman could no longer do anything about it. Slowly his eyes closed, drowsiness, fatigue, pain, pain, fear, anger, all mixed into one.
