In a war between two countries, there would naturally be benefits and a reason. If the two countries were to engage in some scheme to capture the king of the other country, naturally, the changes would be related to the benefits and the conditions …

Wang Su himself was useless against West Cold. What was effective was Wang Su's status as the ruler of a nation. He was the emperor of the Great Phoenix Empire, so obtaining him was naturally as though he was holding down the throat of the Great Phoenix Empire …

He now had a favorable target for Da Feng, just like how Da Feng had once requested Princess of West Cold to enter the capital to be his imperial concubine …

With regards to the Prince Bi, the benefits were obvious. Wang Su did not have a son, if something happened to Wang Su and the person to inherit the Great Phoenix throne, it would be the Prince Bi. The powers that were suppressed by Wang Su earlier would rekindle because of the return of the Prince Bi …

But what about West Cold? What did Xi Cuo want?

To cede the land? Money? Even Zhuang Li couldn't imagine it … Wang Su had never thought of stealing and devouring West Cold, so if Xi Cuo wanted to recover his freedom in West Cold, Wang Su could definitely give it to him. There was no need to waste so much energy...

There were too many things that needed to be done to reach such a stage today. First, they had to start a war between the West Cold and the Great Phoenix, and then they had to lure Wang Su to the border.

Even the Prince Bi had plotted against him, so it was impossible for him to have any ulterior motives.

They must have plotted for too long, maybe that battle between them, Prince Bi was also lying in ambush nearby, it's just that this time, they met a good opportunity …

She naturally knew that by doing this, West Cold must have other motives other than war …

"What do they want?" She once again asked the wounded general who had just come down from the battlefield. When she looked into his eyes, she almost forced him into a corner …

They want esteemed imperial concubine to …" Although the woman in front of him was a little thin, she was exceptionally beautiful. He had lived for so long, but this was the first time he had seen such a beautiful woman … For a moment he understood that the big move had been to make a request about a woman.

"..." Good... "Very good …" She slowly turned her head to look at the general before she spoke again word by word …

"..." "Then give them …"

Sending Zhuang Li to the West Cold was secretly being done according to Zhuang Li's request. Other than the two generals, no one knew the reason behind the event and it was also late at night when Zhuang Li was being sent off. She was wearing a thick cloak, and under the weak light of the fire, she sat in a carriage.

They bumpily headed towards the camp of West Cold …

She closed her eyes. She knew that no one would do anything to her, whether it be Ge Ya or Xi Cuo, even Prince Bi … But perhaps, she would never be able to see Wang Su again …

Zhuang Li's convoy could only stop at a distance of five kilometers from the main West Cold camp. Then, they were caught by West Cold's horse carriage, and once again, they headed towards the West Cold camp. From the start of the incident until now, nearly two days had already passed. Now that she was hit hard, he felt like vomiting.

The driver stopped the carriage and vomited for a while. Unfortunately, there was no food left in his stomach, so all he vomited out was some heartache.

Qing You immediately fed the water bag to Zhuang Li's mouth, allowing her to drink a few mouthfuls.

Originally, Zhuang Li didn't want to bring Qing You over. Although she knew that no one would make things difficult for him, leaving the Great Feng would make it difficult for him to return.

His so-called hometown was something he didn't care about in the ordinary days. When he really left, he would be able to see his hometown vividly, thinking about it day and night …

But that little girl could not even kick him out, she was worried about Zhuang Li's body, and did not care about anything else. She had grown up with Zhuang Li, and most of the time, they were even closer than sisters. To her, she only lived a little, as if there were no longer any relatives in the world, leaving only this big sister, who could be considered a close relative, as a bond. Home is where it is.

"Alright, I think Ge Ya misses you a lot too …"

She looked at Qing You and wanted to give the child a smile, but she couldn't do it.

She knew that it was impossible for what she was thinking to be so simple. In such a battle, so many people had died, yet the West Cold Prince, Xi Cuo, had only wanted to exchange his life for a woman.

However, even if West Cold had any other thoughts, right now, she had no way of knowing. She could only do it first, and only then would she have the chance to know what kind of conditions West Cold would bring up next …

When the carriage slowly stopped, she already felt that she was gasping for breath inside the carriage, and that the situation was probably caused by her being hungry and learning too little candy, but no matter what, when the carriage slowly stopped, she could only sigh in relief. Looking at the carriage's curtain, the first two people she saw were Ge Ya and Xi Cuo, who were flying towards her, and had even opened her arms.

She tried her best to force out a smile as well, but her body was still in motion. When she jumped off the carriage, she almost fell to the ground. Just as she was about to greet him, she felt dizzy. That dizziness had caused her to be unable to balance her body. She had just gotten off the carriage and she was already unsteady from standing. Qing You who was behind her wanted to pull her back, but when she extended her hand out, she only touched her hair with her fingertip. She could no longer hold on and gradually lost consciousness and fell towards him.

Zhuang Li felt as if she was in a dream. She once again felt the state she was in a few days ago. Her body became exceptionally heavy, almost unable to withstand a single blow. "She was clearly just lying on her bed, but she seemed to have walked far down the mountain road and was forced to do a lot of work …

She couldn't help but sigh. She was indeed old …

However, Zhao Ci's twenty year old body, no matter how one looked at it, was in the prime of her life.

Perhaps the time limit for him to stay in this world was approaching … No matter what, there's a sense of impending doom...

This was the first time she felt a little panicked. She hadn't lived long enough … She didn't want to leave … She still had a lot of things she wanted to say to Wang Su …

She was even afraid that by the time she opened her eyes, she was already modern … the doctor was surrounding her, one of the doctors asked

"Why did this patient suddenly faint?"

The old doctor who was standing at the side replied with a hint of joy:

"They're all hungry …"

So she kept her eyes closed until she confirmed that she had heard Qing You's voice. Then, she spoke in an extremely soft voice near her …

"He hasn't woken up yet …" Only then did she muster the courage to do so. She tried her best to open her eyes …

"Qing You..."

Qing You hurriedly supported her up and stuffed the velvet pillow under her waist …

"Don't be nervous, I'm just hungry …" She remembered the dream she'd had when she was half asleep, a group of doctors gathered in front of her bed, saying she'd fainted because she was too hungry.

After saying that, he couldn't help but laugh to himself …

As if he had already expected Zhuang Li to wake up and eat, chicken soup was already simmering on the stove beside him. It was to Zhuang Li's liking. Ge Ya who pushed the door in held a roasted rabbit.

Why does it feel so familiar …

Zhuang Li lowered his head and buried his head in the bowl, continuing to eat his bowl of soup, pretending that she did not notice Ge Ya who was seated beside him. Then, when she had slowly finished her drink, she inadvertently raised her head and took the rabbit from Ge Ya's hands to gnaw on it …

It had been three years since she last saw her sister … Compared to Zhuang Li's change, she had changed a lot in the past three years. She used to be a little girl, but now she had become a beautiful and beautiful woman …

It was as though the two sides had reached a tacit understanding of each other amidst the crackling sounds of the flames burning in the furnace …

When Zhuang Li took a large bite of the rabbit's leg, she started to chew with all her might, but her eyes were already filled with tears like the little sister in front of him …

She laughed, and her tears dropped. She could only laugh and look around.

"The environment is amazing for food that suits my appetite. Compared to the army of the Great Phoenix, I wonder how many times better it is …" "If you keep me up like this, I'm afraid I won't be able to stay alive for more than two days …"

At first, Ge Ya did not say anything, but after being made a ruckus by Zhuang Li, she could not care less as she threw herself into Zhuang Li's embrace that was lying on the bed, and started crying loudly.

This time, she had been saving her tears for too long. She had many questions to ask the person in front of her.

Why were you so stupid? How are you doing? What should we do in the future...

Even though Zhuang Li wanted to pat her, she had taken into consideration that her hands were covered in grease, so she stopped at this moment. She sighed, and in the end, her palm still landed on Ge Ya's back …

Time and again, as if he was looking back to the years that had passed …

After a very, very long time, until the soup in the pot had turned cold, Qing You once again placed the small pot on the stove to heat it up. Ge Ya's tears were also almost flowing down completely, but she still opened her mouth in the end …

"Where's Big Brother Xi Cuo? "I need to talk to him …"

Talking about how to treat Wang Su, he had to guarantee that Wang Su would leave the West Cold camp grounds unharmed no matter what. This was her goal, his only goal … No matter what the price...

"My brother is quiet …" "I reckon you'll have to wait a bit longer …"

"Quiet?" Zhuang Li was frightened by this word, and she felt an especially indescribable sense of joy …

'He's thinking... How do I accept you again... And … "Your child …"

Ge Ya stuttered as she spoke. At first, Zhuang Li did not understand the meaning of those words, but when she realized the huge information contained in them, she could not help but let out a cry of surprise. It was as if thunder had struck the heavens …

Miss … "You're pregnant …" "Qing You couldn't help but look at Zhuang Li's stupefied expression as she silently spoke the truth …

"It's already been two months …"

The thunder that rolled across the sky just now seemed to have rolled back again. In an instant, the top of Zhuang Li's head started to roll with heavenly thunder, causing both of Zhuang Li's ears to go numb, as she was unable to hear anything else …

She unconsciously reached out and touched her belly … For a moment, his hands felt somewhat hot …

Inside... There is a child... Wang Su's child... Grass...

She had never thought that tears would come crashing down like that, as if her entire life had been thrown into disarray …
