More than a month has passed since Jiang Biyue's death, King Mu was captured, the royal residence was raided, and all the truths came to light...
On that day, among the treasures stolen from the royal residence by Jiang Hanyue, there was a token of King Mu's rebellion. Fearing exposure, King Mu sought to eliminate him, and even Lingbo Stronghold was implicated.
Now that the dust has settled, what about her?
Footsteps approached from behind. Hu Li paused and said, "You’re here?"
"Don't mention it; this girl is driving me crazy!"
The newcomer wore an impatient expression. Judging by the features, it was none other than Jiang Hanyue, who should have drowned alongside Jiang Biyue.
"She’s been clamoring for revenge against you. I've never seen a woman so capable of causing trouble."
Hu Li frowned slightly. "Did she not see the note I left in my pouch?"
"The first thing she did upon waking was to twist that pouch. What do you think?"
"That really is her style." Hu Li glanced at the person in Jiang Hanyue's arms and suddenly smiled.
"I'll return the person to you; I’ll disappear."
When it comes to women, his true loves are still treasures and fine clothes!
Jiang Hanyue took out the marriage contract, hesitated for a moment, then twirled her sword, shredding the contract into snow-like fragments.
"Now you can rest easy."
Hu Li called out to Jiang Hanyue: "Why are you willing to bring her back?"
"Biyue can't remember people's faces, except for Master. Aren't you curious why the people from Lingbo Stronghold all wear clothes with words on their backs and go by that name?"
Hu Li certainly remembered. He initially thought King Mu only wanted to capture Jiang Hanyue, but he didn't expect that he also wanted to kill Jiang Biyue and the people from Lingbo Stronghold.
He had his men change into Lingbo Stronghold's clothes, staged a performance, and deceived King Mu's eyes.
It wasn't until Jiang Hanyue appeared with ironclad evidence of King Mu's treason that he understood why King Mu wanted to eliminate everyone.
To put King Mu at ease and to free himself to gather evidence and clarify everything, he resorted to this ploy of feigned death, forcing Jiang Biyue to "die" so that she and Jiang Hanyue would disappear forever.
Jiang Hanyue continued, "Actually, I've been around Biyue many times, yet she still doesn't remember me. The only person who can make her remember is you."
I opened my eyes and saw a carved bed, silk drapes, and... Hu Li's detestable face.
Seeing that I was awake, he cleared his throat and avoided my piercing gaze while recounting everything that had happened since that day.
He said, "I thought you could tell those people weren't from your Village. That pouch with the note saying 'Please be patient' was also ruined by your own anger. I saved you and your Village, so don't try to blame me."
"I don't believe Jiang Hanyue didn't tell you I can't remember faces."
Hu Li stared blankly for a moment and hesitantly asked, "You... really can't remember?"
"Of course! Otherwise, how could I confuse you with Jiang Hanyue?" I said irritably, considering he called himself a fox.
"With such poor memory, you still dare to rob others."
"It's going to rain, and robbers are going to rob; what does it have to do with you!"
I angrily said, "What does it matter if you still poke my heart with a sword?"
"There's plenty of time ahead, we can take it slow, no need to rush," Hu Li smiled innocently.
I walked to the backyard and was startled by the loud commotion.
Watching the cricket fights and gambling, did Hu Li bring the entire Lingbo Stronghold to the Imperial Envoy Mansion?
"I haven't found a place to settle them yet, so I brought them to my residence," Hu Li explained in my ear.
"Biyue, are you leaving?"
Hu Li glanced at me sideways, looking like a wealthy lord.
"I'm not leaving! There's food and drink here, and I don't have to rob anyone. Why would I leave?"
Hu Li was taken aback, not expecting my attitude to change so quickly. He smiled wryly and said, "That sounds just like something a bandit would say."
"How dare you call me a bandit..."
I threw a flirtatious glance at Hu Li, scaring him back three steps: "Call me Imperial Envoy Madam!"
