Chapter 165: CH 165

- March 08, 2022

Xiao Yi Chen nodded, "It seems the rumours in the capital were fabricated to ruin your image, you shouldn't think too much, if you're really not the daughter of Ji Bai Chuan, he wouldn't have let you take the position of Ji family's eldest daughter."

Ji Ling Xue nodded, it was already dark, but they were not sleepy, Ru Ge called for someone to bring a pot of good tea, the four sat around drinking tea and chatting.

Bai Mo complained that he was about to die from boredom in the palace from not having anyone to talk to, luckily he was now out, it was great to recover his freedom.

Ji Ling Xue told Xiao Yi Chen what happened with the startled horse and being surrounded in the streets just now to her and Ru Ge.

Xiao Yi Chen smiled: "We won the last two rounds, Yuchi Gong Ru is of course not in a good mood, although I gave the drawing of him drinking blood to Dayan's emperor, Yuchi Gong Ru has controlled the situation very well, all that he kill were from his residence, and suppressed this secret well, the emperor won't completely believe it, warning Yuchi Gong Ru with a few words, tell him to shut himself up and ponder his mistakes to lie low."

Ru Ge said: "Not bad, this time he acted against the princess and I, I expect there'll be some no good rumours soon, what should we do?"

Xiao Yi Chen smiled, "Ru Ge, wouldn't there be nothing to worry about if you find a princess."

Ru Ge held his forehead, "This prince is rather tired, go rest." He finished speaking then walked away.

Ji Ling Xue followed Ru Ge's back with her eyes, then turned to Xiao Yi Chen who was smile deviously, "What are you smiling about?"

Bai Mo said: "Prince, princess, I'm also going to rest, take your time." Having spoken it was like his feet were covered in oil, his figure disappeared behind the trees.

Xiao Yi Chen said: "The bodyguard by Yuchi Gong Ru's side has become my men, I've already received the rumour he wants to spread, he's suggesting you and Ru Ge have an intimate relationship, of course this prince believes in you, but it's difficult to stop it from being drawn out, there is only one way to stop the rumour, that is for Ru Ge to find a suitable woman to marry."

Ji Ling Xue's forehead was filled with black lines, "So...Ru Ge will become the second you, be forced to marry without a choice?"

Xiao Yi Chen shrugged, "This is Ru Ge's own matter, he might be able to find an even better solution."

A night without words.

The next day, the rumours in the capital was Ru Ge rushing to bring a woman back to his residence in a carriage but the startled horse caused chaos to the people, then there was another rumour that the woman Ru Ge liked was a maid in the palace, supposedly this maid was from Dongqi.

Ru Ge attended court as usual, hundreds of officials jointly presented a petition, even mentioning filial piety, the grand  imperial family blood must be continued by a Dayan woman, asking the emperor to confer a marriage on Ru Ge, the battle of words and saliva in court was very fierce, fortunately Yuchi Gong Ru was in detention, he didn't add oil to the fire.

After Ru Ge left court, he shut himself up in the study, Ji Ling Xue brought a pot of wine to find him, the guard outside the study didn't stop Ji Ling Xue from entering.

She pushed open the door and saw Ru Ge sitting on the window sill looking at the flowers in the courtyard.

Hearing the footsteps from the door, Ru Ge turned to look, Ji Ling Xue was beckoning him with a tray of refreshments, "It's boring to be idle, I borrowed your kitchen to look into making pastries, why don't you give them a try?"

Ru Ge's gaze fell on the brightly coloured pastries on the tray, he asked: "There's no poison right?"

Ji Ling Xue's lips twitched, "Why would I poison them?" As she spoke she picked up a green pastry biting into it, "There's  a plant in Dayan, called cactus, it can grow in extreme heat and dry desert, it can fill you up, I used it to make some pastries, the taste isn't bad." She nodded as she spoke, sure of her own cooking skills.

Ru Ge laughed,  standing up he came to Ji Ling Xue's side, picking up a piece of pastry he placed it into his mouth, his eyes curved, "Princess, you're probably the first person to use it to make pastries."

Ji Ling Xue laughed, "Prince said we're going back in two days' time, I should make more snacks for the journey."

Hearing this, the smile on Ru Ge's lips gradually faded, he was fully aware there wasn't a banquet which didn't end in this world, when Ji Ling Xue left Dayan, they wouldn't be able to privately meet like this.

Ji Ling Xue said: "I heard you're to be married, I had wanted to act as your matchmaker, but sadly..."

Ru Ge laughed, "Since we can't be mistress and servant, why don't we become sworn brother and sister."

Ji Ling Xue was stunned, then she smiled: "Good, you'll be my older brother, it's exactly what I want, to have an older brother who knows martial arts to rely on, no one can bully me in the future."

Ru Ge lips raised, "Then we'll pinky swear to it." 

He raised his finger and pointed to the laurel tree behind him: "This tree will be our witness."

Seeing Ru Ge was seriously sticking out his little finger, Ji Ling Xue looked in the direction of Ru Ge's finger, suddenly she smiled: "Wait a minute, I suddenly have a question."

Ru Ge raised an eyebrow, indicating for Ji Ling Xue to continue speaking.

Ji Ling Xue: "If I become sworn brother and sister with you, then won't I be half a Dayan princess, I'm afraid my prince will be angry."

Ru Ge chuckled, "That...come with me." As he spoke he held Ji Ling Xue's sleeve and pulled her outside, when they came to the courtyard they came across Xiao Yi Chen who had just flipped over the wall.

Xiao Yi Chen smoothed the creases on his clothes, looking at Ji Ling Xue then Ru Ge, "Where are you going?"

He had just gone out for a short time, what major event has happened?

Ru Ge said: "Prince, I want to become sworn brother and sister with Ji Ling Xue, you don't have a problem right."

All the problems could be easily solved, he also didn't need to marry a woman to avoid the attention of others.

Xiao Yi Chen was surprised, Ru Ge actually called Ji Ling Xue so intimately, had he agreed?

He turned to Ji Ling Xue and smiled: "This prince has no problems, if princess likes then that's fine, princess is happy this princce is happy, princess has often talked about why she didn't have an older brother, you can fulfil her wish."

Ji Ling Xue looked at Xiao Yi Chen, a touch of emotion in her eyes.

Ru Ge turned to smiled at Ji Ling Xue, "Then can we ask prince to be our witness." Having spoken Ru Ge turned to tell someone to carry a pot of wine over, pouring two cups of wine.

He raised three fingers to the sky vowing: "Great heaven above, today I Yuchi Ru Ge and Ji Ling Xue become sworn brother and sister, thinking of absent friends, mountains and rivers won't break our oath. Old friends through spring wind, remain resolute even through the years." Having spoken he looked at Ji Ling Xue.

Ji Ling Xue also copied him and stuck up three fingers, she repeated what Ru Ge said, the two hooked their pinkies in a pledge, smiling at each other, picking up a cup of wine the touched cups and drank it, Xiao Yi Chen said: "Wait a minute!"

Ji Ling Xue and Ru Ge both turned to look at Xiao Yi Chen at the same time, his lips hooked into a smile, reaching out for the wine cup in Ji Ling Xue's hand: "Princess isn't good at drinking, let this prince drink on her behalf." Having spoken he took the cup of wine from Ji Ling Xue and drank it, placing the empty cup back into Ru Ge's hand as he was zoned out.

Ji Ling Xue wordlessly looked at the floating clouds in the sky.

Xiao Yi Chen smiled at Ji Ling Xue, a faint gentleness in his eyes.

Two days later, Ji Ling Xue and Xiao Yi Chen returned to Dongqi, Ru Ge prepared a carriage of luggage to see them off.

Looking at the city gates of Dayan, Ji Ling Xue smiled: "Ru Ge, it's enough to accompany us for ten li, if you follow any longer we'll see the gates of Dongqi, then we'll have to send you back."

Ru Ge smiled, a trace of gentleness in his eyes, he nodded: "Fine, there must be an end to seeing someone off, have a smooth journey, remember to write to me to say you've safely arrived when you reach Dongqi."

Ji Ling Xue nodded, Ru Ge had already said these kinds of words many times, she waved at Ru Ge.

Xiao Yi Chen pulled on Ji Ling Xue's hand to enter the carriage without turning his head, instructing his own guards to proceed.

The wheels rumbled into the distance, Ru Ge sat on horseback looking ahead until the dust turned the group of people invisible, only then did he look away.

The guard next to Ru Ge said: "Master, even though the third prince is still in detention, but he is very well informed, if he heard prince Chen has left, he would probably make a move, should we send more guards to protect them in secret?"

Ru Ge smiled, "That's precisely why he left so grandly."

The guard looked so confused, then he heard Ru Ge continue to say: "Yuchi Gong Ru has been humiliated over and over by Xiao Yi Chen, of course he isn't resigned, he is very aggressive, how can telling him to repent stop him? The prince knows this, that's why he deliberately left, the goal is to give Yuchi Gong Ru a final strike."

As to who will emerge victorious, it depends on their own abilities.

The guard nodded, "Then master what do we need to do?"

Now prince Chen's princess was the master's sworn sister, master wouldn't allow anything to happen to her.

Ru Ge said: "Bide our time." He then turned the horse's head, raising the whip he returned into the city.

Yuchi Gong Ru was currently holding a woman with her back bare, sitting in a muslin curtain room, whoever saw this scene would feel it was ambiguous, but on closer inspection it would be very strange, there were different teeth marks on the woman's back, traces of blood seeping out from the wounds.

A guard in black knelt in front of Yuchi Gong Ru, reporting: "Master, Yuchi Ru Ge sent prince Chen out of the city."

Yuchi Gong Ru pushed the woman riddled with scar to the side and stood up, saying with menace: "Making this prince so miserable, now you want to leave?" He made a fist as he spoke, a creaking sound from his joints.

Yuchi Gong Ru paced around the room, saying: "Has the thing from Beiling arrived?"

The guard nodded: "Its already arrived."

Yuchi Gong Ru nodded, "That's good, those are good things, this prince deliberately prepared it for the prince, come with me." He took the black cloak and blade hanging on the screen as he spoke, like the wind he swept out.

The guard blinked, immediately following after him.

The sky was gradually turning black, in the morning the sun was shining brightly, however in the afternoon dark clouds covered the sky densely, it seems a rainstorm was about to descend.

"Achoo!" 

Inside the carriage heading south, Ji Ling Xue sneezed, raising her hand to rub her nose, Xiao Yi Chen passed her a handkerchief: "These last two days you've been going out early to buy things, could you have caught a cold?" As he spoke he put the cloak beside him over Ji Ling Xue, then placed a heater in her arms.

Ji Ling Xue said: "I'm not as fragile as you think, I finally have an older brother, of course as a younger sister about to leave I have to prepare some poisons for him."

Xiao Yi Chen's lips twitched, he slightly regretted allowing Ru Ge and Ji Ling Xue to become sworn siblings, him the husband was being treated coldly.

Ji Ling Xue lifted the curtain looking outside: "It seems like it's going to rain, we should set up camp soon, let's continue when the rain stops."

Xiao Yi Chen nodded, immediately ordering the guards to set up camp, he pulled Ji Ling Xue by the hand to take a rare walk nearby, appreciating the scenery along the sides of the road.
