Did her beautiful husband take the risk to save him just to kill him with his own hands?
“What grudge do you have against him?” she thought.
Song Jingchen knew at a glance that Shen Yijia had misunderstood. He interrupted her thoughts. “If I’m not wrong, the servant who died today wasn’t the one who spilled the tea on you, right?”
Shen Yijia nodded. She had wanted to say it before, but she forgot about it.
After receiving an affirmative answer, Song Jingchen explained that the servant from before was most likely also dead. Apart from these two, there were definitely accomplices in the residence, and they had high statuses.
In the afternoon, there was no news from the main courtyard. At this time, no news was the best news for many people, right?
On the second day after the Hun army left, the city gate of Xunyang City opened again.
The citizens in the city gathered at the city gate and looked at the heavy door that was slowly lowered. Tears welled up in their eyes.
They could live!
First, it was the Hun army surrounding the city, then it was the abandonment by the Imperial Court. The hopes of the commoners to survive had long been destroyed, but they did not expect there to be a turnaround.
Now, they were all grateful to Lord An Le, who had advanced and retreated with them, and to Young Master Shen, who had saved them from suffering.
On the contrary, they hated the imperial court more than the Huns.
Although the Hun people were also hateful, in the end, their positions were different. It was understandable for a war to break out.
However, what about the Imperial Court? They were the citizens of Great Xia. How could the Imperial Court abandon Xunyang City just like that? It was deeply disappointing.
Meng Jiang stood on the city wall and looked down at the commoners crying. Even the men were crying.
“It’s time to arrange for people to repair the collapsed houses in the city. We have to think of a way to solve everyone’s food problem,” Zuo Fei said coldly.
It was easy to repair this house. At the very least, there were still so many people in the city. However, where would they find food?
The Imperial Court had actually given up on Xunyang, so they naturally could not count on their support.
Besides, it was best if the Imperial Court did not interfere. It would be disgusting if they interfered at this time.
Meng Jiang choked. Thinking of the various headaches that would follow, he immediately felt his scalp tingle. He was no longer in the mood to grieve.
“Master, the little prince wants to see you and Young Madam,” South Wind, who had been sent by Song Jingchen to monitor the movements of the Hun army, reported.
Ah Xun did not leave with the army yesterday. Instead, he stayed outside the city. Today, as soon as the city gate opened, he followed South Wind into the city.
Zodar was worried about him staying alone. The army was slow, so they did not have to worry about not being able to catch up if they set off later.
Song Jingchen nodded, not surprised that Ah Xun had yet to leave.
“Sister.” Ah Xun was wearing Central Plains clothes today. He seemed to have become the child who would pretend to be pitiful in front of Shen Yijia again.
Shen Yijia’s eyes lit up. She wanted to go over and pinch that cute little face, but someone blocked her way.
She was stunned. When she saw Song Jingchen’s dark face, she rubbed her nose. Her beautiful husband had become so petty.
“Young Master Song, why don’t we talk somewhere else?” Zodar smiled and said.
Song Jingchen pursed his lips and glanced at Ah Xun’s height, which didn’t reach his waist. He brought Zodar to the study.
In order to prevent the Imperial Court from disregarding its reputation and interfering in Xunyang’s matters, he still needed to borrow the power of the Huns for the time being. Of course, the prerequisite was that the little prince would take back the position of Chanyu.
When only the two of them were left in the reception hall, Ah Xun walked up to Shen Yijia and looked up at her solemnly. “Sister, do you want to follow me to the Royal Court?”
In front of Shen Yijia, Ah Xun would always subconsciously make himself act like an ordinary child.
The only time he did something out of line was when he couldn’t help but kill Ruo Houchan.
Shen Yijia tilted her head, not understanding why Ah Xun would ask her this question.
However, she still refused decisively. “No, I’ll be wherever my husband is.”
Ah Xun had long guessed that she would say that, but he was still a little disappointed when he heard that. He refused to give up and persuaded, “If the emperor of the Great Xia Kingdom finds out that not only has his legs recovered, but he also came to Xunyang on his own accord, he will definitely not let him off.”
“Even if the emperor did not know about this, you would not be safe by his side.”
“But our Royal Court is different. When I take back the position of Chanyu, I’ll have the final say. I can protect you.”
“Besides, we have a grassland. You can run horses there and eat delicious roasted meat…”
Shen Yijia imagined the scene he was talking about and smacked her lips.
It sounded good, but she still shook her head firmly. “No, I’ll be wherever my husband is.”
She still had to wait for her husband to take his revenge before having children with him. How could she leave alone?
Seeing her like this, Ah Xun knew that it was impossible for him to persuade her.
This person looked easy to fool, but only regarding matters that didn’t involve Song Jingchen.
He sighed like a little adult. “All right, then. If you suffer, or if that person bullies you, you have to come to me.”
Her beautiful husband would not bully her. As for being wronged, Shen Yijia felt that no one could do it.
Shen Yijia did not mind. However, thinking that Ah Xun had tried to convince her twice because he cared about her, she could not disrespect this little brat.
She nodded seriously. “Alright, I’ll look for you to play when I’m free.”
Seeing Shen Yijia’s expression, Ah Xun knew that she did not take his words to heart.
This person was too silly. She did not know that men were the most unreliable. However, if she was not stupid, she would not have been fooled by him back then.
He shook his head helplessly. “Then, you have to remember.”
After thinking about it, he was afraid that his words would scare her, so he said solemnly, “But don’t worry too much. I’ll help you.”
Shen Yijia was touched and amused by his appearance.
She reached out to pat his head and nodded solemnly, imitating him. “Okay, I’m not worried.”
“You should go.” Song Jingchen had returned at some point and was staring at Shen Yijia’s hand on Ah Xun’s head.
Shen Yijia was stunned. She reacted and retracted her hand. She smiled and went over to hold his arm. “Hubby, are you done talking?”
“Yes.” Song Jingchen took her hand and held it. He looked at Ah Xun and said, “You don’t need me to send you out of the city, right?”
Ah Xun pursed his lips. This person was really annoying. He clearly needed their help.
Due to Ah Xun’s kindness just now, Shen Yijia originally wanted to send him off. After all, she did not know when she would see him again.
Most importantly, although she did not know what Ah Xun would face when he returned this time, the change of the royal court was not a small matter.
He was still so young. It was quite worrying.
However, Rooster’s return prevented her from going.
“How could he be so seriously injured?” Shen Yijia asked in surprise.
Just now, Mo Yuan suddenly came to report that Rooster had returned.
Seeing that her expression was off, she and Song Jingchen followed her to Rooster’s room.
Rooster had probably been sent out at this time the day before yesterday. However, after not seeing him for two days, the man was lying on the bed covered in blood.
