Chapter 1406 He Is So Chivalrous

e most of the troops with her, the defenses of Beijang Wangfu would be far too weak.She couldn't rest easy about Feng Ming.An Xuetang frowned, thinking that there wasn't a way to please both sides and...But if the county lord constantly talks about repayment to the duchess, it might make their relationship increasingly strained.

"Princess, think carefully. If you regard someone as a close and trusted friend, but that person constantly does or says things that are awkward or out of place, wouldn't it make you feel uneasy"

Xia Qin blinked, this time really thinking seriously. If it were really the case, she would definitely feel uncomfortable in her heart.

Seeing her nod in agreement at this moment, Ye Er quickly added, "So, Princess, you needn't be too distant with the Northern Border Princess. Otherwise, over time, the Northern Border Princess will also feel uncomfortable."

In fact, he said that out of self-interest.

After this incident, he became even more aware that in this turbulent world, he couldn't guarantee his safety every day, and the Anle Houfu might not be able to protect Xiaoqin.

What's more, after these few days observing the Duke and Duchess of Anle, he felt even more that Xiaoqin could not rely on the House of Anle.

So he wanted to find a more powerful backing for Xiaoqin.

There is no doubt that the Princess of Beijiang is the best choice.

If Xiao Qin truly became the Princess of Beijang's friend, given the Princess of Beijang's temperament, she would not stand idly by if she knew Xiao Qin was in trouble.

So he didn't want Xiaoqin to be too distant from the Princess of Beijiang.

Xiao Qin listened to his words, pursed her lips, and suddenly caught the wrong point. Her serious eyes stared straight at Ye Er and asked, "The princess is willing to help me again and again because she treats me as a friend, what about you You help me again and again, why"

"...."

Ye Er himself hadn't expected Xiao Qin to ask such a question. He looked at Xiao Qin in a daze, unable to answer for a moment.

Xiaoqin remained silent, fixing her gaze on his eyes, waiting for his reply.

"I don't know how long it took, Ye Er cleared his throat and turned his head. "Didn't the county lord return to the Hou Mansion today How could she appear at the teahouse at that time"

Ye Er didn't dare to answer, so she had to distract Xiao Qin at this moment.

As soon as he reminded her, Xiao Qin was led astray by him and remembered why she had gone to find him today.

"Speaking of which, I still owe you a thank you."

Xiaoqin suddenly gave Ye Er a very serious bow, “Thank you, Lord Ye, for helping the Anle Marquis’s Mansion. The kindness of Lord Ye will be remembered by everyone in the Anle Marquis’s Mansion. If Lord Ye needs any help from the Anle Marquis’s Mansion in the future, just say so. As long as we can help, the people in the Anle Marquis’s Mansion will do their best.”

Being able to speak for her two brothers before the emperor and secure the imperial decree to recall them, this kindness from Lord Ye is a debt that our Anle Houfu can never repay.

You can only pay back gradually.

“My lady, there's no need to be like this. We'll be together soon…”

He was about to finish his sentence when Ye Er suddenly stopped. He did subconsciously want to say that the two of them would be getting married soon and become a family in name, so her two elder brothers would also be his by marriage, and it was only right for him to help.

Before he could speak, he realized something was amiss. Their marriage wasn't something Xiao Qin truly desired. If it weren't for the pressure from the Anle Hou and his wife, she might not have agreed. He suspected she hadn't even considered marrying him.

So he shouldn't bring this up now, lest Xiaoqin be in a bad mood.

As expected, even though he didn't finish his sentence, Xiaoqin could guess what he meant. Her expression changed instantly.

However, it wasn't as Ye Er had imagined, becoming unhappy instead she showed a hint of shyness.

This expression instantly stunned Ye Er, who stared blankly at Xiao Qin's face.

Feeling his gaze, Xiaoqin didn't know why, her whole face inexplicably flushed hot.

Just now, what were the two of them talking about I can't remember now. She hurriedly turned and walked to the other side, "That... that is, Ning'er said, your injury needs rest. It's late, you should get some sleep."

After she finished speaking, she went to close the window and then sat down in a spot that was fairly far from the bed.

Ye Er watched her flustered figure, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and slowly closed his eyes.

He thought that after he 'fell asleep', she should go to rest, and the Princess Consort of Beijang shouldn't really have a noblewoman guard him.

Little did she know, An Xuetang hadn't actually thought about what to do with Xiaoqin. After all, it was Xiaoqin who had said she wanted to take care of Ye Er herself, so she hadn't considered making any other arrangements for her that night.

And Xiaoqin had never thought that she would leave this house tonight, so she just sat there quietly.

She didn't know how long had passed. She thought Ye Er was already asleep, so she got up and tiptoed over, her eyes fixed on Ye Er's injury.

He reached out to lift the blanket, but hesitated and ultimately did nothing. He just smoothed down the blanket at his legs.

After tidying up, she didn't return to that farthest corner, but instead sat directly on the small stool by the bed.

She looked thoughtfully at Ye Er's pale face, her mind replaying events from the past few days.

Actually, Ye Er is… a pretty good person. He and Jiang Qingyang are just two different personalities.

Before, she didn't know him well, but through these interactions, she discovered that he was truly gentle. Whether it was his tone of voice or his actions, he was so courteous and kind.

And Jiang Qingyang was the kind of person whose emotions fluctuated easily, and had never been so gentle to anyone before.

Although she wouldn't admit it, compared to others, she seemed to prefer a future husband like Ye Er.

While Ye Er risked her life to help her two older brothers, tonight in that moment of crisis, in order to protect her, in order to push him away, he blocked the man's sword.

To be honest, she didn't really know what else she could do for Ye Er besides offering herself to him, in repayment for his kindness time and time again.

Perhaps marrying him would be a good outcome.

Xiaoqin rested her hands on her cheeks, elbows propped up on the bed, her gaze fixed on Ye Er's face.

Although her gaze was fixed on Ye Er's face, she didn't notice Ye Er's eyelashes fluttering ever so slightly.

Xiaoqin stared like that, she didn't even know how long it had been, and unconsciously fell asleep beside the bed.

She was even less likely to know that after she fell asleep, Ye Er finally let out a deep breath of relief and slowly opened his eyes.

He looked at Xiaoqin, his dark and deep eyes holding a different kind of emotion as he gazed at her sleeping face.

She had been staring at him just now, he was about to crack, but luckily she fell asleep at the crucial moment.

He stared at Xiaoqin for what felt like an eternity. He withdrew his hand from under the blanket and gently brushed the stray hairs that had fallen onto her forehead to the side.

Xiaocheng… you probably don't know, the moment you agreed to marry me with your own lips, I almost couldn't contain myself and jumped up in excitement.

My girl... May I be like the stars, and you like the moon, shining brightly together every night.

Deep in his heart, he swore to himself that he would protect her well. Just as Ye Er was about to retract his hand, Xiao Qin suddenly reacted. to come alone.Before leaving the capital, An Xuetang gave him a lot of medicinal powder. Although he didn't deliberately learn from her how to train beasts, he knew how to use the powder to lure fero...
