Transmigrated To Another World: General, I'm Not Your White Moonlight - Chapter 137

Chapter 137: I Just Want To Be With You
After Xuan Ruiquan gave out the order, Jian Yi clasped his fists and said, “This subordinate accepts the order.”

After saying that, Jian Yi wanted to leave, but Xuan Ruiquan suddenly asked, “Is there any news from Yunshan Village?”

Jian Yi was stunned for a moment, then realized that Xuan Ruiquan was asking about Duan Yixin and replied, “Reporting to Master. There is no news.”

Xuan Ruiquan was silent for a few seconds and asked, “How is Xin Niang’s relationship with other people?”

When Jian Yi heard this question, he thought to himself, ‘I knew it. Master is really asking about Miss Duan.’

Although Jian Yi was very curious about the relationship between Xuan Ruiquan and Duan Yixin, he did not ask any more questions and replied, “Answering to Master. There is a man who had a very close relationship with Miss Duan.”

As soon as these words came out, Jian Yi felt a cold, murderous aura coming from Xuan Ruiquan’s direction. He swallowed, not daring to make any sound.

After a few seconds, Xuan Ruiquan’s cold voice came, “Who is he?”

Jian Yi suppressed the fear in his heart and said, “He is Miss Duan’s childhood sweetheart. His name is Chi Xiyou. According to Liushiliu’s last report, Miss Duan often went to his house. Sometimes, the two of them would chat for a long time or go to the town together.”

Saying until here, Jian Yi hesitated. After struggling for a few seconds, he raised his eyes and said hesitantly, “There are also rumors about them.”

“What rumors?” Xuan Ruiquan asked coldly.

Jian Yi took a deep breath and said everything in one breath, “It is rumored that Miss Duan broke off her engagement with a man named Tang Zizheng because she and Chi Xiyou were going to get married.”

Seeing that Xuan Ruiquan didn’t respond, Jian Yi added, “The villagers also said that Chi Xiyou’s mother and Miss Duan’s mother were good friends, and they had agreed that if their child were a boy and a girl, the children would get married. If they are born of the same sex, they will become sworn brothers or sisters.”

After listening to the report, Xuan Ruiquan clenched his hands tightly and gritted his teeth. Feeling helpless and anxious, he said, “What a bunch of nonsense!”

As soon as these words came out, Jian Yi quickly lowered his head and did not dare to move. Xuan Ruiquan closed his eyes and tried to control his turbulent emotions.

A few minutes later, he opened his eyes and said calmly, “Speed ​​up the investigation of Duan Qinwang’s plan and find the evidence within three days.”

The sudden increase in workload made Jian Yi sigh inwardly, but he still said calmly, “This subordinate accepts the order.”

“You can leave now.” Xuan Ruiquan said after a moment of silence.

As soon as these words came out, Jian Yi disappeared from there. After Jian Yi left, Xuan Ruiquan leaned against the pool and closed his eyes.

He covered his eyes with his arm and muttered in frustration, “Did what I did not only change the fate of you and others but also the fate of you and me? Xin’er, What should I do? I just want to be with you… Is this simple wish of mine too extravagant to come true?”

Xuan Ruiquan was silent for a long time before he lowered his arm. He stared at the starry sky above the hot spring pool, frowned, and muttered, “Chi Xiyou… This man has never appeared in my previous life. Is it because I met Xin’er three years later in my previous life, so I never got to know him? Then what happened to this man three years later when he disappeared from Xin’er’s life?”

Just when Xuan Ruiquan was deep in thought, Emperor Yong’an was doing the same. He sat on the dragon throne, lazily drinking wine and looking at the people below. He observed the ministers and generals who were fawning overtly or covertly to Duan Qinwang and found that Rui Qinwang had not eaten anything.

Emperor Yong’an smiled and asked, “Rui Qinwang, is the dish not to your liking? Do you want Zhen to prepare another dish for you?”

When he asked this question, Rui Qinwang stood up with the help of his eunuch. With a weak smile on his face, Rui Qinwang cupped his fists and said, “Thank you, Your Majesty, for taking care of me. The food is delicious.”

Emperor Yong’an sighed and said, “How did you know the food is delicious when you didn’t even pick up your chopsticks? You must be too tired and have no appetite. Zhen will ask the imperial physician to check your physical condition.”

As soon as he said this, Rui Qinwang said, “Your Majesty, Chen Di is fine. It’s just that Chen Di has been sick since he was a child, and his body is weaker than that of others. It’s Chen Di’s fault that Your Majesty is worried.”

Looking at Rui Qinwang’s pale face, Emperor Yong’an wondered, ‘Was A Quan mistaken about Rui Qinwang? However, judging from the capabilities of his Jin Yi army and secret guards, the information he gave me cannot be wrong.’

While Emperor Yong’an was thinking about the possibility of Rui Qinwang faking his illness, Duan Qinwang suddenly said, “Your Majesty, everyone knows about Sifan’s illness. You shouldn’t overreact just because he has no appetite.”

As soon as these words came out, Emperor Yong’an suddenly smiled and looked at Duan Qinwang.

“Duan Qinwang, it is not appropriate for you to call Rui Qinwang by his first name in a public event. Zhen thinks you should apologize to Rui Qinwang for your rude behavior.” Emperor Yong’an said, with a hint of warning in his voice.

As soon as these words came out, Duan Qinwang slammed down his wine glass on the table and asked gloomily, “What did Your Majesty say?”

Emperor Yong’an frowned slightly and said with a hint of concern in his voice, “It seems that Duan Qinwang is old, and your hearing is not very good. How about Zhen call the imperial physician to check your health?”
