Seeing her like this, Madame Shu couldn't help but reach out her hand to touch her.

She could not bear to tell her.

"Listen to me slowly." Shushi pulled Ye Jinsu to a seat and prepared to speak in a gentle manner.

However, Ye Jinsu looked at her and suddenly whispered, "Is that true?"

The moment Ye Jinsu opened her mouth, two streams of tears flowed down from her red eyes.

Lady Shu felt her heart aching. She hugged Ye Jinsu and slowly spoke, "Listen to me. Sixteenth Brother only went missing on the battlefield. He didn't actually die."

"Then why did you still try to persuade me?" Ye Jinxiu closed her eyes and felt a sharp pain in her chest so much that she couldn't breathe. She still looked forward to going with him to the horse farm in the spring, to the hot spring full of flowers, and to the cliff together to see the river mountain that he wanted.

Madame Shu's eyes turned sour as tears streamed down her cheeks.

However, she quickly wiped the corner of her eyes and said, "Sixteenth Brother definitely doesn't want you to be like this."

"You can't wait like this any longer."

Ye Jinsu was almost 18 years old. If this dragged on, she would pass the age of marriage and be delayed for the rest of her life.

However, as Ye Jinsu looked at Lady Shu, she suddenly lowered her head and burst into tears. She firmly held onto the broken jade in her hand and shook her head, "No, no."

He must be very happy.

After thinking about it for so long, he finally agreed.

How could he not come?

Madam Shu couldn't help but burst into tears. She hugged Ye Jinsu and advised, "Sixteenth Brother fell off the cliff. Our army searched around the bottom of the cliff for a month, but no trace of him could be found."

"Now that the war is over, they will be back soon."

"Sixteenth brother won't be able to come back."

"Will you wake up?" Mrs Shu hugged her as she spoke, her voice choked with sobs. She didn't want to see this result either, but even the Emperor had given up.

She had to admit that her sixteenth brother was truly gone.

They had been keeping this news a secret from Ye Jinsu.

But he would find out sooner or later. He didn't know now, but when the army returned, Ye Jinsu would find out as well.

Since that was the case, it was better to have a long pain than a short one.

The wet nurse at the side could not bear to see this any longer and came over to persuade Madam Shu. "Esteemed wangfei, the imperial physician said you have insufficient milk. You should try your best to keep your emotions calm. For the sake of the child, don't be sad. "

"Miss Ye is the same. This old servant knows that you have a deep affection for her, but things have already come to this point."

"Miss, it's best if you don't lament over this."

Ye Jinsu lowered her head and her eyes filled with tears.

If she didn't mourn, then what right did she have to mourn for Ning Yunyin? They weren't engaged, nor were they engaged. Ning Yunyin couldn't even find the corpse, so why should she mourn?!

"Why do we have to return to the imperial court …" Ye Jinsu asked hoarsely, reaching out her hand to grab the hem of Lady Shu's clothes. "Why don't you let them continue their search …"

Haven't you found the body yet?

Maybe he was still alive.

Lady Shu gazed at Ye Jinsu with a pained expression. She had never seen her like this before, and her heart couldn't help but feel even more pained.

"It's been a month. There hasn't been any news for an entire month." "There's nothing at the bottom of that cliff. We've searched the surrounding areas three to five times."

"Our army has been delayed at the border for a month. We can't delay any longer."

"This is the emperor's order."

Ye Jinsu shook her head furiously.

She did not accept this.

It was the emperor's order again! It was also the emperor's order for Ning Yun to withdraw her troops. It was also the Emperor's order to completely give up on his own son!

"Can't someone stay there and search?" Ye Jinsu didn't give up and asked.

Even if it was just a team.

At least... At the very least, if he was alive, he would want to see his corpse!

In the end, Madame Shu only held onto Ye Jinxiu, allowing her to continue speaking, "Why don't you continue looking for her?"

"Why …"

It was dark outside when he left.

Ye Jinsu sat in the carriage, swaying and groggy. Little Red was stopped by her outside the carriage. She was sitting alone in a corner when she suddenly recalled that Ning Yunyin had once sat in the same carriage with her. At that time, he would even vividly tease her.

And now, all that was left was an ice-cold piece of news.

Ye Jinsu curled up her body and buried her head deep in her arms, her tears soaking her autumn clothes.

She no longer knew how she had met Ye Jinru's mocking gaze. Ye Jinxiu returned to the yard in a daze and closed the door before she disappeared.

Mrs Zhao had come a few times to try to persuade her, but she had never seen Ye Jinsu.

When the army returned to the city half a month later, the entire country cheered. They struck at the side of Xiliang completely to eliminate the threat of foreign states.

As for Ye Jinsu, she immediately went to look for Ning Yunquan.

In the large general's manor, Ning Yunquan stared at Ye Jinsu with bloodshot eyes, unable to say a word. In the end, he could only silently take out something from his bosom. His eyes were slightly red as he handed it over to Ye Jinsu.

It was the peace talisman that Ye Jinsu asked for.

In the span of two years, the red string on the rune had become old and the fabric had begun to lose its luster.

There were still traces of blood on it.

Her eyes were red as she received the talisman. Suddenly, her tears, which were as big as beans, splashed onto the safety talisman and dampened it. She wanted to ruthlessly throw it away. She wanted to berate the Great Master of the Cloudlight Temple for his actions.

Speak of sincerity and you will achieve what you desire.

It's all bullshit.

However, while holding the safety charm in her hand, she could still feel Ning Yunyin's aura on it. She couldn't bear to let go of even a little bit of it.

He wanted nothing more than to merge it into his blood and bones.

"This was found at the bottom of the cliff," Ning Yunquan lowered his head and spoke in a hoarse voice. "Sixteenth Brother, you've always been wearing this on your body …"

Ye Jinsu finally could not take it anymore and knelt down to cry.

Xiao Hong helped Ye Jinsu up, only to find that she was already in so much grief that she couldn't even stand properly. However, she still stretched out her hand and grabbed the armor that Ning Yunquan had yet to take off. She choked with sobs and said, "Take me to see His Majesty."

Ning Yunhai was shocked. "What are you planning to do?"

Ye Jinsu gripped the safety charm in her hand tightly and spoke with a hoarse voice, "I'll go beg the emperor, I'll beg him to send someone to find it."

She didn't believe that Ning Yunxiao would die just like that.

She was still waiting for Ning Yunyin to return. She believed that Ning Yunxiao was also looking forward to this day.

Ning Yunquan frowned deeply as he looked at him, his face covered with a layer of deep grief. "We've been looking for a month, and in addition to the month we've been marching for a whole month, it's already been two months."

"Sixteenth brother, I'm afraid the odds are against us."

Ye Jinsu closed her eyes and stubbornly refused to let go.

She kept shaking her head. She didn't believe it, and neither did she accept it.

"If he's alive, I want to see him. If he's dead, I want to see his corpse." Ye Jinsu stared at Ning Yunquan with her red eyes, but her hoarse voice emphasized these words.

Lady Shu couldn't bear to watch any longer. In the end, she took a step forward and used her hand to knock out Ye Jinsu.

Xiao Hong immediately held onto Ye Jinsu.

"Quickly bring your young mistress back, let her rest well!" Madam Shu looked at Xiao Hong as she spoke.

Little Red also looked at Ye Jinsu with reddened eyes, sniffling as she supported Ye Jinsu out of the room.
