The assassin's princess is actually my aunt

Chapter 226 Confession Rejected

Lianlu Pass

Leng Xinmo looked quietly at Qi Siyuan in front of him.

She lowered her head slightly, her eyes were red and swollen, and there was a faint light flickering in her eyes.

It seems like it will break at any time.

She gently stretched out her hand, poured a cup of hot tea, and slowly placed it in front of Qi Siyuan.

But he didn't say a word of comfort.

Time passed minute by minute, and finally, Qi Siyuan slowly raised her head.

He picked up the glass of water with trembling hands and took a sip.

Then, she turned her gaze to Leng Xinmo and forced a smile.

With a slightly hoarse voice, he said: "Xinmo, I went to see Brother Gu yesterday..."

Having said that, she paused, took a deep breath and continued:

"I expressed my feelings for Brother Gu.

But, as expected, Brother Gu rejected me......"

At this point, tears blurred her vision again and slid down her cheeks.

However, Qi Siyuan immediately shook her head and tried hard to suppress the sadness in her heart.

He added softly, “However, strictly speaking, it cannot be considered a complete rejection.

Brother Gu told me that actually at the moment, he has no plans to get married and settle down.

Because he has always been concerned about the western border and Lianlu Pass.

Now, he finally got his wish and came to the Western Territory, but he happened to encounter this incident again.

Therefore, he knew very well that there would probably be no peace between Qianyao Kingdom and Xiqi Kingdom in the future.

So he decided to ask the emperor to allow him to guard the western border for a long time.

If you get married and start a family at this time, your new wife will inevitably be left alone in her empty room.

Whether from an emotional or moral point of view, this is not the result he wants to see.

Moreover, Prince Sheng is returning to Fengyao this time. Brother Gu has no plans to go back either."

“When the Western Territory is first pacified, a suitable person must be left behind to pacify the Western Territory soldiers and appease the Western Territory people.

No one is more suitable than Gu Jingxuan." Leng Xinmo said in a cold voice.

So, Gu Jingxuan did not lie.

Qi Siyuan nodded: "I understand, Xinmo.

Brother Gu said that he always treated me as his younger sister, just like Xuanxuan.

He never thought that I would come to the West for him."

Qi Siyuan looked at Leng Xinmo and said, “Xinmo, I have never regretted coming to see Brother Gu.

I'm just worried that my recklessness will cause trouble to Brother Gu."

There was a hint of sadness between Qi Siyuan's brows.

Leng Xinmo looked at Qi Siyuan seriously and said, “No, Jingxuan is an honest and sincere person.

Naturally, I can understand your frankness and courage."

After hearing Leng Xinmo's words, Qi Siyuan smiled. Her relaxed brows were like the sunlight reflecting the snow.

"Yes, I also believe in Brother Gu's character.

So even though he didn’t accept me, I still appreciate his honesty.”

Leng Xinmo asked: "Next, will you go back to Fengyao with us?"

Qi Siyuan tilted her head and said firmly: "No, Xinmo, I plan to stay."

"Stay? Gu Jingxuan..." Leng Xinmo frowned slightly.

She didn't think that Gu Jingxuan would be someone who would accept it just because he was moved.

Understand what Leng Xinmo is thinking.

Qi Siyuan smiled and said, "Xinmo, you misunderstood. I didn't stay here to impress anyone.

These days, I was here in the western border and saw the people living in the border areas. Their lives are not as luxurious as those of us in Fengyaozhong.

From time to time, they would even face harassment from foreign enemies and would panic and feel fear.

But now that the enemy is gone, they will cheer and celebrate. They are safe and secure, and everyone is happy. "

Qi Siyuan's eyes were as bright and dazzling as the twinkling stars in the night sky.

She said softly, “Mo’er, I plan to stay here for a while and do what I can.

When I am no longer needed here, I will leave and head to the next destination.

As for where to go, maybe east, or south, or even north.

We have discussed this issue before.

Now that I have left Fengyao, I have witnessed so many beautiful sights that I have not seen in the past ten years.

So why not take this opportunity to try something you never imagined before?

In this way, the trip was worthwhile.

After all, I dared to step out of Prince Qi’s Mansion and stay away from Fengyao City!

It's something I've never thought about.

Xinmo, when you return to Fengyao, please be sure to take a letter back to my brother for me.

I am so reckless, I am afraid my brother will feel quite troubled......"

Leng Xinmo opened his red lips slightly, and was about to say something to comfort her.

Unexpectedly, Qi Siyuan playfully winked at Leng Xinmo.

He said firmly: "But, so what? After all, he is my brother!"

After Qi Siyuan left, Leng Xinmo looked at the door quietly.

At this moment, Qi Siyuan seemed to gradually let go of her worries and found the next path to take.

After a long while, Leng Xinmo seemed to be talking to himself, or to the void:

"Did you hear everything?"
