Volume 10, Chapter 737

The guards were frightened by the furious Tang Yin and shrank their necks. They dared not say more or stay longer and hurriedly left the bedroom.

Cai Gui, who was standing by, bowed his head helplessly and said to himself that it was over. His premonition was really coming true.

At this time, Mei'er actually pleaded for Yue Ze. Now it was still unclear whether she had done anything meritorious or not. It was uncertain whether she could save her own life, and whether the Cai family would be implicated.

Tang Yin pursed his lips and stared at Li Mei'er, who was kneeling on the ground. His eyes were like knives, sweeping over her body.

"Do you know that based on what you said just now, this king has enough reason to want your head!" Tang Yin said coldly.

"I understand..."

"It's good that you understand! Yueze, the king will never let him go, and you, don't plead for him anymore." Tang Yin turned his head away, no longer looking at her, and waved his hand and said, "Go!"

Hearing this, Cai Gui breathed a sigh of relief. Unexpectedly, the king who was angry did not blame Mei'er. He winked at her, signaling her to leave quickly and stop talking.

But I don't know if Li Mei'er really didn't see his eyes or pretended not to see them. She knelt there without moving, and asked in a trembling voice: "What can I do to make the king change his mind?"

Tang Yin raised his eyebrows in disbelief. This girl is simply endless. Does she really think he dare not touch her?

"If the king wants to use my life to exchange for the life of King An, I am willing!" Li Mei'er's tears flowed down.

Tang Yin took a breath and subconsciously looked at Cai Gui. Cai Gui was sweating profusely at this time, and he couldn't say a word. He knelt on the ground with his hands on his back, his head against the ground, and didn't move.

If Tang Yin didn't know Cai Gui too well, he would probably suspect that the Cai family was having an affair with An Guo behind his back. Otherwise, how could they cultivate someone like Li Mei'er who was devoted to Yue Ze?

His eyes swept over Cai Gui and fell back on Li Mei'er. He squatted down, looked directly at her delicate and beautiful face, and asked word by word: "Is Yue Ze really so important to you... that you don't even want his life?"

"Yes... yes..." Li Mei'er didn't dare to look Tang Yin's sharp eyes again, and her head drooped even lower.

"Reason! Give me a reason!" Tang Yin stretched out his hand, lifted her chin, so that she couldn't avoid his gaze, and then asked in a concentrated voice: "But you have been with Yue Ze for too long, and you have fallen in love with him over time?"

Li Mei'er shed more tears, like pearls that had broken off the string, and people saw her with pity. She trembled and said, "Yes, my king!"

"Why?" Tang Yin really couldn't understand. Yue Ze was greedy, lustful, timid and cowardly. Apart from being a monarch, he was useless. In his opinion, it was impossible to have feelings for such a person even if he stayed with him for a hundred years, a thousand years or ten thousand years. He couldn't understand what Li Mei'er was thinking, or he didn't understand women at all.

Li Mei'er wiped the tears on her face and choked up. At the end, she was sobbing and trembling. She grabbed Tang Yin's clothes and kowtowed repeatedly.

There was silence in the tent, leaving only Li Mei'er's sobbing.

Tang Yin was expressionless and silent. Cai Gui knelt down and dared not move. Ren Xiao sat quietly beside him, looking at Li Mei'er who was crying and kowtowing constantly, and his eyes showed admiration.

"You... still want to go back to Yue Ze?" After an unknown amount of time, Tang Yin finally broke the silence and asked slowly.

"Yes, yes, I don't care about wealth and honor, I don't care about prominent status, as long as I can be with Prince An, even if I have to retire to the mountains and live the most ordinary and difficult life, I am willing..."

"Then go back to Yuzhen and die with Yue Ze!"

Tang Yin raised his leg and kicked Li Mei'er away mercilessly, then strode out of the tent. At the door, he stopped, turned back and glanced at Li Mei'er, then snorted heavily and walked out angrily.

Li Mei'er knelt on the ground, crying so hard that she almost fainted. Cai Gui's forehead was still on the ground, and his stiff body was numb.

Ren Xiao stood up, walked close to Li Mei'er, took out a handkerchief, stuffed it into her hand, and sighed softly: "What a wonderful woman!" After speaking, he also followed out of the tent.

Seeing Tang Yin's back not far away, Ren Xiao's smile deepened, and he quickly chased after him, and asked with a smile: "Your Highness, are you angry or sulking?"

Tang Yin did not look back at him. If he saw his smiling face at this time, he could not guarantee that he could control his fist from hitting it. He said in a deep voice: "What if I say both?"

"In fact," Ren Xiao shrugged and said: "Prince An may have some hateful and even hateful aspects, but it does not mean that he has no strengths. In my opinion, Miss Mei'er is a kind-hearted girl, and Your Highness should not blame her too much."

"Are you going to watch her die with Yue Ze?"

"For Miss Mei'er, this is also a kind of relief."

"I can't understand it." Tang Yin shook his head and said: "Originally, I planned to take her back to Zhenjiang, and I could also host the wedding for her and Cai Gui. If she is willing, I can even take her in and let her be my wife..."

"I think what Miss Mei'er wants is not the pity and charity of others, but a man who can truly love her." Ren Xiao said with a smile.

Tang Yin shook his head repeatedly, still unable to understand, looking up to the sky and sighing, he said faintly: "Women..."

He couldn't understand Li Mei'er, but the conversation with Ren Xiao calmed his anger a lot.

Next, he didn't see Li Mei'er again, but asked someone to find Tang Yin to be so kind to Mei'er, which surprised Cai Gui. It can be seen from this that even if the king didn't like her, he admired her from the bottom of his heart. Cai Gui knelt down and kowtowed, and at the same time felt relieved.

As Li Mei'er said herself, she didn't choose to stay in Fengying, but chose to return to Yuzhen to accompany Yue Ze. This trip, she failed to convince Tang Yin to save Yue Ze's life, but even if she had to die, she was willing to die with Yue Ze.

Yue Ze had this and that kind of shortcomings, and in the eyes of others he might be a tyrant and incompetent monarch, but for her, he was a man who loved her and cherished her, and that was enough.

When she came, she was accompanied by two maids, Huihong and Cuilv. When she left, she was alone without any followers. This time when she returned to Yuzhen, she had made up her mind to die, and did not want to implicate her sisters.

In Ren Xiao's eyes, Li Meir was a typical woman who was soft on the outside and strong on the inside. She seemed delicate and coquettish, but she was actually strong and kind. It was a pity that she was born in the wrong era and in the wrong family. In his heart, he envied Yue Ze. With such a beauty by his side, what regrets would he have even if he was a king of a fallen country!

The carriage she took when she came was scrapped. When Li Meir returned to Yuzhen, she took a small carriage of the Feng Army, and the driver was a veteran of the Feng Army.

When Cheng Huaisong, the North City garrison commander of Yuzhen, heard the news that Li Meir had returned to the city, he was first shocked, and then ecstatic.

Madam was able to return, which at least showed that she was not a spy of Feng State. Otherwise, under such circumstances, she would never come back and should not come back. Therefore, it was not wrong for me to let her go out of the city.

Li Mei'er's return can be said to have relieved Cheng Huaisong, and all the pressure disappeared at once.

He personally led a cadre to welcome her out of the city gate. After finding out that the driver had not practiced Lingwu with the skill of insight, the generals walked to the carriage together, bowed respectfully, and said in unison: "The general welcomes the lady!"

At this time, even the deputy general who insisted on killing Li Mei'er felt a burst of blushing and ashamed. Fortunately, the general did not listen to him at the beginning, otherwise he would have killed the lady by mistake, and he would not be able to atone for his sin even if he was torn into pieces!

Li Mei'er got off the carriage, smiled at everyone, and said softly: "Generals, there is no need to be polite." As she spoke, she politely bowed to the Feng soldiers who drove the carriage to express her gratitude.

The generals of An did not make things difficult for Feng Bing, who was driving the carriage. No one even paid attention to him. People welcomed Li Meier into the city like the moon surrounded by stars.

After returning to the city, Cheng Huaisong asked with concern: "Did Madam meet King Feng during this trip?"

"Yes." Li Meier looked gloomy.

"Did King Feng agree to withdraw his troops?"

Li Meier shook her head and said: "King Feng has made up his mind, and I... can't change it."

Hearing that Madam was back, but Feng Jun still had to attack the city, and An Guo's life was still hanging by a thread. Cheng Huaisong said seriously: "Madam, don't worry, even if I die, I swear to protect the North City!"

Li Meier smiled at Cheng Huaisong and said nothing more. Although she didn't understand fighting, she also understood a truth. Sometimes the gap in military strength and combat power cannot be made up by willpower, but she couldn't say this.

Afterwards, Cheng Huaisong ordered his men to prepare a carriage. He personally selected two thousand elite soldiers and led them to escort Li Meier back to the palace.

He couldn't be sure whether the ministers of the left and right prime ministers would continue to send assassins to kill his wife after she returned, but if there were still assassins, they would have to step over his body first to kill his wife. (To be continued)
