Did Miss become a nun today?

A horse-drawn carriage was parked in the woods outside Qingyun Temple.

A man and a woman stood beside the car, constantly gazing into the nunnery.

The guard was getting anxious. "Why isn't he coming out yet? Has something gone wrong?"

The maid beside him glanced at him. "My young lady never makes mistakes. It's not time yet, what's the rush?"

The maid was Zhao Mingyue's personal maid, who was assigned to be here to assist her today.

The two waited from dawn until dusk, and now it was already the hour of Hai (9-11 PM), but no one had come out yet.

After waiting for about half an hour, the maid suddenly exclaimed joyfully, "They're here! They're here!"

The two quickly went to greet them, and the guards took the person from Zhao Mingyue's hands and put him on the carriage.

Zhao Mingyue instructed, "I'm entrusting this person to you. Be careful and make sure nothing goes wrong."

"Don't worry, Miss Zhao, I will make sure you get the person to safety."

Zhao Mingyue's expression was unusually serious. "Please."

The guard drove the carriage away slowly. Zhao Mingyue sighed, and her maid asked, "Miss, is this really going to work?"

"We'll find out if it works by trying."

"Wei Zhao has been transferred away from the capital, and today is the best opportunity for him to depart."

Pei Changyu is too cunning; he's watched by people everywhere in the capital. I really didn't know how to send him away, so I had no choice but to come up with this method.

It's likely that Wei Zhao's departure from the capital was his doing. But it's good that he took the person with him. With the world so vast and the road so long, how could he possibly find him again?

Xie Yun Chu only drank a bowl of soup that Zhao Ming Yue handed her before going to bed. She slept soundly and then woke up, not knowing where she was.

It was dark outside. She remembered that it was already late before she went to bed, so why did it look like it had just gotten dark?

She sat up, clutching her head, and shook it. She was still thinking about the nun's tonsure for her. Was it too late?

Feeling completely weak, even lifting the covers was difficult. I managed to stand up with the help of the bed, but as soon as I took a step, my legs gave way and I fell forward.

Her knee hit the ground, making her wince in pain, but it cleared her head a little.

Someone opened the door and came in. After finally getting out of bed, I felt light and went back to bed.

"Why didn't you call out to anyone?"

In just that short time, she had used up all her strength, and now she couldn't even move a finger.

Even someone as naive as her could sense something was wrong. She was fine before going to sleep, but when she woke up, she felt weak, as if she had been drugged.

Upon seeing the person's face clearly, she asked, "Where is this?"

"Inn."

An inn? Wasn't she at Qingyun Nunnery? When did she come to an inn?

No, she had already arranged with the nun to ordain her, and it wouldn't be good to be late.

"Please trouble General Wei to take me back to Qingyun Nunnery."

Wei Zhao helped her cover herself with the blanket and said in a deep voice, "You've been sleeping for two days. We've already left the capital."

After a long silence, Xie Yun Chu finally accepted the news.

Wei Zhao left the capital, and the group had been on the move for two days. They didn't need to stay in the city, but because they had her with them, the others set up camp outside the city, while Wei Zhao took her into the city to stay at an inn.

She looked at the person sitting by the bed and asked in a hoarse voice, "Did you and she agree to this?"

Wei Zhao grunted in response, not saying a word more, and making no attempt to explain.

She stared blankly at the bed curtains. Knowing these two people was truly...her good fortune.

"General Wei, do you know that if the Marquis's mansion finds out, you will be considered to have abducted a respectable woman?"

"Know."

"Then why did you agree?"

This must have been Zhao Mingyue's idea. She's really stupid; she actually thought we were going to take her on a spring outing.

He drugged her without warning and took it upon himself to send her out. Although he meant well, shouldn't he have informed her beforehand?

It's fine to wait until she shaves her head before leaving.

The nun had finally agreed to her request, and since she failed to arrive on time, she would surely think that she was untrustworthy.

Wei Zhao poured water, helped her sit up against him, fed her a few sips, and then pinched some pastries and held them to her lips, "Are you hungry? I just bought them, they're still warm."

The pastry was brought to my lips; its crust was crispy and golden brown, sprinkled with fine sesame seeds, and its aroma was irresistible.

"I'll do it myself."

Although her body is soft, she still has the strength to eat, so it's not appropriate for her to lean on someone like this.

The people behind her didn't move, still holding the pastries to her lips.

Xie Yun Chu struggled for a moment but couldn't break free. Just as she was about to slide down, Wei Zhao pulled her back.

"you......"

"I regret it," Wei Zhao suddenly said.

"What?"

He eased his grip on his waist, lowered his head slightly, and said in my ear, "I don't want you to become a nun."

Not only did he not want her to become a nun, he also wanted to keep her by his side forever.

Why can Pei Changyu and his brother do it, but he can't?

Thinking this, I slowly approached and smelled her fragrance.

"Miss Xie, is it possible... for you not to become a nun?" He asked this cautiously, his voice soft, afraid of frightening her.

Her eyes sparkled, and her cheeks flushed, but she couldn't bear to let go of the person she was holding.

Xie Yun Chu closed her eyes; everyone wanted to stop her from becoming a nun.

"General Wei, I appreciate your kindness, but my mind is made up and I will not change it."

Wei Zhao lowered his eyes, and his eyes, which had been tempered by the wind and sand of the border for many years, were filled with emotions he had never felt before.

He didn't loosen his grip; instead, he tightened his arms, stubborn and unwilling to back down. "What if I said I didn't want you to leave?"

Xie Yun Chu couldn't see his face, but it was the first time she had heard him speak like that.

The two of them didn't spend much time together. Everyone said that soldiers in the army were reckless and unruly, illiterate, and a bunch of roughnecks, but this General Wei was always calm, polite, and courteous in front of her, never overstepping his bounds.

...and went astray too.

She cursed Zhao Mingyue in her heart, wondering how much medicine she had given her. The effects of the medicine hadn't worn off after two days, otherwise why would she be struggling so hard now?

It's amazing how she came up with these ideas; she's always giving me difficult problems.

"General Wei... the Wei family is full of loyal martyrs, and you have also made outstanding military achievements... a good girl will surely marry you in the future, why be so fixated on me?"

She said a few words, her eyelids drooping with exhaustion, "I'm devoted to Buddhism...you..."

Before he could finish speaking, he had no strength left and fell into a deep sleep again.

She was awake less often and asleep more often, and after several days, she finally realized something was wrong.

Even with such a large dose of medicine, the effects should have worn off by now. It's impossible that she doesn't even have the strength to walk, and Wei Zhao has to help her with everything, carrying her up and down, doing everything himself.

She asked Wei Zhao, "General Wei, please find me a doctor. This can't go on like this."

"Um."

He always readily agreed, but two days passed and her condition still showed no improvement, and no doctor came.

Only then did she realize one thing: men are terrifying. Even a good man like Wei Zhao had begun to change.

Wei Zhao brought in water and, as before, helped her wipe her face and wash up, not forgetting to apologize to her.

"I'm sorry, you can think I'm despicable or vile, but I can't let you go."

He said this with a serious expression, which didn't seem like he was admitting a mistake.

Pei Changyu was all bark and no bite, while Wei Zhao openly laid bare his feelings to her. They were both the same kind of scoundrels.

"I won't hurt you. When we get there, I'll marry you, okay?"

What's so good about it?

She was tired, really tired. All she wanted to do was become a nun, but there were always people with ulterior motives trying to make her break her vows.

I don't want to talk.

Wei Zhao didn't care.

His parents told him from a young age that if he wanted something, he had to fight for it; how would he know he couldn't get it if he didn't fight for it?

This applies to war, and it also applies to the girl you like.

In war, if you don't fight for it, you'll lose your army and your city. And if Xie Yun Chu doesn't fight for it, it will become someone else's.
