Wei Chi Yanyan said seriously, "How dare I be angry? I can only say it's within my expectations. Although you would be helpful for my coup, after careful consideration, I think it's more important to win back my wife!"
Ji Feiyu praised, "You're quite sensible. Ran Wei didn't misjudge you. Don't worry. After we have a good time and come back today, I'll send her to you. But you must remember what you promised me."
"Got it, got it!" Wei Chi Yanyan was so touched that he almost burst into tears. His wife was finally coming back.
...
That night, after sending Ran Wei back, Ji Feiyu returned to her room alone. The room still seemed to retain the soft whispers between her and Ran Wei. These whispers were all about him, which suddenly made her miss Yong Yaxuan for no reason.
She wondered if that dull - witted fellow knew she was in the Northern Cold. Was he really not going to look for her anymore?
Ji Feiyu lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. She thought that this was what bone - gnawing longing felt like. One casual thought would bring back all his goodness. Did he feel the same way when he was looking for her all those years ago? Were they really going to miss each other?
A night of tossing and turning left Ji Feiyu with two big dark circles under her eyes the next day. So she decided to decline all meetings that day.
In the Northern Cold Palace, it was normal for her to disappear quietly, as no one cared about her. So no one thought it was strange that they didn't see her for a day.
During this period, the process of the Little White Bird's horse - selection wasn't hindered by the previous incident.
On the contrary, he was even more determined to get the horse of Shuang Hua.
Caught in the middle, Wei Chi Yanyan was in a tough spot. So people often saw the Little White Bird and Shuang Hua fighting in the palace. Of course, this time, Shuang Hua didn't dare to ask Ji Feiyu to step in.
However, at least the Little White Bird wasn't so shameless as to bully Shuang Hua with his high - level martial arts. He just kept evading and using sarcastic remarks. This made the already angry Shuang Hua even more furious, and her whip skills became even more powerful.
Shuang Hua never expected that the bottleneck in improving her whip skills would be broken through because of the Little White Bird's dodging and advice. Nor did she expect that one day she would stop hating this person.
During that time, Ji Feiyu was rarely harassed by the Little White Bird. Even if there was any harassment, it was blocked by the Flower Butterfly, which Ran Wei told her later. Ran Wei said, "If you don't persuade the Flower Butterfly to stay still, his ribs will never heal properly."
Ji Feiyu was a bit surprised to learn that the Flower Butterfly had protected her so desperately. So she simply moved near the Flower Butterfly to take care of him. The Flower Butterfly was a bit unaccustomed to being taken care of by her. Every time he wanted to get up, Ji Feiyu would push him back with the excuse, "If your bones don't heal properly, they'll stick out, and then you won't look good."
"Ling'er... If you keep doing this, I'll really start to have wild thoughts..." The Flower Butterfly lay in bed, letting Ji Feiyu wipe his face carelessly, and said affectionately. The bruises on his face had faded a lot, but the silly look in his twinkling eyes as he looked at her remained.
Ji Feiyu pursed her lips slightly, suppressing a smile, but pretending to be serious, she said, "What wild thoughts? I'm just here to take refuge. I'm taking care of you at Shuang Hua's request. I'm going to charge for this."
The Flower Butterfly rolled his eyes and said, "You're so into your act of being a nurse. Do you really think you're that yellow - haired girl's special attendant?"
Ji Feiyu slapped his shoulder hard and said boldly, "It's just for show. You don't need to act so guilty towards me. If you're a brother, stop being so shy!"
The Flower Butterfly gritted his teeth and said, "Ling'er, you're really heartless!"
Ji Feiyu wondered, "I've been taking care of you every day. How am I heartless?"
The Flower Butterfly rolled his eyes at her again and ignored her. Ji Feiyu thought there were some things he would never say no matter what.
...
Days passed quietly like this. One moonlit night, the Little White Bird quietly left with Shuang Hua's horse.
He didn't have time to say goodbye to Ji Feiyu, so he asked someone to leave a letter in her room.
However, this belated letter almost turned the Northern Cold upside down.
Ji Feiyu saw this letter the next morning. She still went to the Flower Butterfly's room to wipe his face. As soon as she entered the door, a maid from the palace where she usually lived stopped her and handed her the letter.
On the envelope were the flamboyant words of Bai Xiaofeng. She frowned and impatiently opened it. Who would have thought that after just a quick glance, she quickly took the letter and went to find Ran Wei, leaving the Flower Butterfly in bed calling her helplessly, "Ling'er, Ling'er, don't go!"
Ji Feiyu never expected the Little White Bird to leave in such a way. The letter said that he had taken Shuang Hua to see the man who had let him down. He also said that such a heartless man must be seen by Shuang Hua in person for her to give up.
At the same time, Shuang Hua had also written a letter and enclosed it with his. In the letter, Shuang Hua said that she was going to find her faith. She said that she must accompany that person well on behalf of the Empress Feiyu. She also said that she would make him marry her openly.
It had to be said that it was really a miracle that Ji Feiyu didn't faint when she saw the letter.
The child she had painstakingly raised for three years had just grown up and gone to seduce her ex - husband, with such a high - sounding reason. She really didn't know how much influence she had on her, to the extent that she would like the same person as her.
When Ran Wei saw the letter, she comforted Ji Feiyu, saying that the child wouldn't succeed. Wei Chi Yanyan directly sent troops to intercept them, muttering that the Little White Bird was meddling...
Actually, it was no wonder that Wei Chi Yanyan was angry. After all, his beloved younger sister had been tricked by a like - minded good brother and sent into a pit. How many older brothers wouldn't be depressed about this?
People might not be too surprised that Shuang Hua was bold enough to run away with a person she didn't know well. After all, the children of the Northern Cold were known for being bold and decisive. But if this unfamiliar person was her enemy, and they were going to Dayong, a place she had never been to in her life, everyone might be a bit stunned.
However, this wasn't the most amazing thing. What was even more amazing was that two months later, news really came from Dayong that they wanted to marry Princess Shuang Hua of the Northern Cold.
When Ji Feiyu heard this news, she really couldn't stand steadily. After learning about it, Wei Chi Yanyan blamed Shuang Hua for being naive, while Ran Wei suspected how she had managed to do it. She knew that emperor better than Ji Feiyu, so when this news came, she didn't believe it.
After receiving the letter from the emperor of Dayong, Wei Chi Yanyan's first reaction was to reply and refuse, but he was finally stopped by Ji Feiyu. Hearing this news, Ji Feiyu was a bit heart - broken. Just as Yong Yaxuan had let her go painfully, she was also going to let go completely.
