Chapter 472

Baili Jinze hooked his lips and smiled, looking deeply at Shen Ninghua, “You really do have guts, much better than Baili Junyi, the situation on the battlefield is critical now, I have no martial arts now, almost becoming a cripple, whether I can come back alive or not is still a question, can you promise me three things?”

“If I can do it, I will certainly do my best.” Shen Ninghua nodded, she knew that this trip was treacherous, and also understood that the man in front of her could not have volunteered to go to the border if it wasn’t for her, so as long as she was able to do something, she was willing to do it.

“The fact that you agreed so painfully is a surprise to me, in this way, I’m embarrassed to make things difficult for you.” Baili Jinze’s heart laughed bitterly, it was because she was this intelligent, because she was this unique, that he was always unable to let go.

“I don’t ask for much, the first point, after I leave, you have to treat my mother consort well; the second point, my mother consort has been holding on to An Ning, you have to do everything you can to help me find her, so that she can come back and see my mother consort; the third point …”

He looked up at Shen Ninghua, emotions churning under his eyes, “This third point is a wish that I have thought about for a long time, but could never realize. When Baili Junyi left on his imperial expedition, you wore red makeup to send me off, now that I am also going to the front line to fight for my life, are you willing to wear red makeup for me once?”

Shen Ninghua looked up, a hint of surprise flashed under her eyes: draping red makeup? She thought of many things, the only thing she didn’t expect Baili Jinze to mention was this request …

Looking at her expression, Baili Jinze clenched his fists slightly harder, he knew that this request was a bit too much, especially now that Shen Ninghua had become the Empress, and there were so many people watching her every move, but he had resolutely brought it up, and even though he knew that it was difficult for her, he still wanted to deceive himself and others in order to fight for this one special power.

“Okay, I promise.”

Baili Jinze froze, then smiled openly, a wave of excitement echoed in his heart, “Then it’s a deal, tomorrow morning’s morning court you announce the appointment decision, and after that I will bring people directly to Suicheng.” After he finished speaking, he turned around and left with quick steps, as if he was afraid that Shen Ninghua would back out of the decision he had just made.

Shen Ninghua looked at his back as he left, frowned slightly, put away the complex emotions rising under her eyes, and turned around to return to the rear chambers: no matter what Baili Jinze’s purpose was, she was grateful for this feeling of support.

The following morning, Shen Ninghua announced this decision, causing the court to fall silent. If Baili Jinze hadn’t been deprived of his martial arts skills, they would have cheered this decision, but now that he had almost become a half-absentee, what was the use of him going forward?

Shen Ninghua ignored them and had people count the manpower and supplies to fully support Baili Jinze.

In the middle of the harem, Tai Consort Qi sat on a chair and looked at the sunlight pouring down outside the door, her face calmly without the slightest expression. The palace maid walked in from outside the door and reported softly, “Your Highness, in another hour, Prince De will be departing for the border, so you may want to go and give him a ride.”

Tai Consort Qi blinked, her empty eyes finally colored with a hint of emotion, “Another hour?”

“Yes, ma’am.”

“You go and tell Baili Jinze that this palace is not going to see him off, and that this palace will be right here in the harem, waiting for his safe return!”

The palace maid looked at her worriedly, “Your Highness, why do you have to send it when you are clearly that worried?”

“You go, the palace wants to be alone.”

Baili Jinze rode his horse and stood at the forefront, looking up at the high city tower, his eyes full of the color of hope, finally, a touch of red appeared above the city tower, lighting a cluster of red fireworks in his eyes.

Shen Ninghua head wearing a phoenix wings of the eight treasures of the phoenix hairpin, draped in a wide-sleeved red dress, layers of skirts fell to the ground, like a bright bush of flames, beautiful face did not use how much powder, but it is already the best color in the world, in a red dress under the backdrop of the beauty of the shocking.

Baili Jinze’s eyes were full of amazement, and his lips couldn’t help but raise a most sincere smile. If he hadn’t been headstrong and used such despicable means to try to get Shen Ninghua, then wouldn’t their relationship today be able to be a little more relaxed?

Shen Ninghua stood on top of the city tower without saying anything, Baili Jinze was a Prince and she was the Empress, the status interval did not allow her to do more.

Hongling walked down to the city in place of Shen Ninghua and personally poured the farewell wine for Baili Jinze before presenting a porcelain bottle, “Prince De, slave girl is sending you off in place of the Empress Dowager, this bottle of medicine was personally prepared by the Empress Dowager and can save your life in critical moments, please keep it in a safe place, the Empress Dowager said she wished you a safe journey.”

Baili Jinze looked up at the red figure above the city tower, a trace of relief flashed in his eyes, “Many thanks Empress.” After saying this, he tilted his head back and drank the wine in the bowl in one go, before placing the medicine bottle into his arms with a precious hand and turning to steer his horse away.

Behind the squire vast, raised all the way smoke and dust, until walked out a long way, Baili Jinze only raised his head, above the city tower, vaguely able to see a touch of red, leaving a little bit of light in a barren field of his heart, no longer like the former general inch of grass.

Hongling put on a cloak for Shen Ninghua and said softly, “Your Highness, it’s time to go back.”

Shen Ninghua looked into the distance in a bit of a daze, “But where there is any other way, I won’t let Baili Jinze go to the front line.”

“Your Highness, Prince De has volunteered.”

“After all, it was me who failed a thought.” No matter how much unpleasantness had occurred in the past, now this snowy gift was enough to make up for it.

“Niangniang …” Hongling didn’t know what to say, and even more so, she didn’t know how to persuade. In fact, she was also surprised in her heart, after all, Baili Jinze was no longer fit to go to the battlefield nowadays, and he insisted on going forward, it was highly likely that he would never return. This emotion was too heavy, she had not experienced it, but still felt shocked.

Shen Ninghua sighed slightly and turned toward the palace.

At this moment, a canyon in the Yuyang Mountain Range was in full bloom, and a man was sitting on a high rock, looking up at the dense fog above the valley, his handsome brows knitted tightly as if he was pondering over something extremely important.

“Jun Gongzi, why are you still here, it’s not like you can see anything, what’s there to see, Miss is looking for you, it’s time to drink your medicine.” A woman dressed as a maid came over, seeing that the man was looking at the top of the valley again, she said with some dissatisfaction.

The man turned back, jumped off the boulder with a long leap, and without even looking at the maid, walked towards the attic not far away.

The attic building is exceptionally delicate, the upper and lower floors are built from bamboo, behind the attic is also planted with a large area of densely packed bamboo, which sets off the attic more and more secluded. The man has not yet approached, the attic second floor door will be gently pushed open, a body of white clothes spotless woman walked out, saw the man over, revealed a trace of shallow smile, “Jun Gongzi, you’re back, today you can think of what?”

The man shook his head, “No.”

“Your Excellency shouldn’t be too anxious, sometimes it’s better to let nature take its course, isn’t it? The medicine has already been decocted, so Gongzi hurry up and come up.”

The man went upstairs and finished drinking the medicine, the maid who went before to call him came in, seeing his face full of indifference, she could not help but say indignantly, “Miss, you worked hard to boil the medicine with your own hands, even your hands were scalded, but some people don’t care about it at all, they don’t even have a voice to thank them, humph, that’s why you’re so kind, people from unknown origins dare to take them in, humph!”

The white-clothed woman gathered her fingers in her sleeves and glanced at the maid who had spoken with some displeasure, “Duke Jun has only lost his memories, where is he some person of unknown origin, don’t talk nonsense.”

“Hmph, losing your memory, who knows if it’s a fake, deliberately taking advantage of you, miss.”

“Qiao Ling, no nonsense.” A blush flew up on the side of the woman’s face, and she turned her head to look at the man at the table, only to find that as if he hadn’t heard the words of the maid Qiaoling, he was rubbing the purse in his hand. That purse is damaged most of the time, as if it was scratched by a stone or something like that, and now it is already clear what pattern was originally embroidered, and can only be vaguely discerned from the corners of the place that is not ruined, when it was intact, it should be extraordinarily exquisite.

The woman said softly, “Mr. Jun, you seem to be extraordinarily attached to this purse, if you don’t mind, I can help you mend it.” Said purse was almost cracked in half and could no longer be called a purse.

The man lifted his head and placed the purse into his arms, shaking his head slightly, “No need.” When he woke up, he realized that he stayed in this attic, his mind was blank and he could not recall anything. He checked the things on his body, but found that apart from the purse, he only found the embroidered word Jun Hua on the clothes he was wearing close to his body, so he temporarily called himself by the name Jun Hua.

And the woman in white in front of him is named Tu Su Qing Li, is his savior, it is said that he was rescued when he was severely poisoned, fortunately, the woman knows how to detoxify, then carefully help him to adjust, now the poison has been unlocked most of the time, only, he still can not think of anything.

Hearing the man’s refusal, Tu Su Qing Li slightly lowered her eyes, her tone carrying the slightest hint of disappointment, “It’s me who was abrupt, even though Mr. Jun has lost his memory, he still attaches such importance to this purse, I think it must have been gifted by his beloved one.”

Jun Hua frowned but did not deny it out of his mouth, he could feel that the person who embroidered the purse was very important to him, so important that he should not forget it even if he were to die, but he had forgotten it, which made him feel empty in his heart at all times, as if he had lost the whole world.

“I’ll go out first.” Jun Hua finished speaking and directly got up and headed out.

The maid Qiao Ling stomped her foot, indignantly glaring at his back, “Miss, look, what’s the use of taking care of him with such dedication, the white-eyed wolf that can’t be raised!”

“Qiao Ling, no nonsense.” Tusu Qingli frowned and scolded in a low voice, “He’s not an ordinary person, he must not be measured by ordinary people’s thoughts.”

Even a rock gets warmed up one day, doesn’t it? She had all the patience in the world to melt this chunk of ice …
