"Talking so much, actually Meng Zhuqing didn’t want to let them in at all, especially Tobanya.
He wanted her to live a good life.
Not to come to Nanshen City to die.
He really didn’t know why she came here... this place is clearly so dangerous...
Involuntarily, Meng Zhuqing became anxious about Tobanya again.
Ning Wenxian, although not as formidable as Tobanya, still carried the dignity of the Crown Princess Consort with ease; she said, ’Vice General Meng, if you also can’t make the decision to let us in, then please consult Emperor Changyi.’
Meng Zhuqing had no choice but to go and consult Xiao Changyi. It was clear these two were not going to give up until they were allowed in, such a headache...
When Xiao Changyi and An Jing heard that Ning Wenxian and the Crown Princess Consort had arrived, they hurriedly came but did not open the city gate; instead, they went up to the city gate tower.
Standing by the city wall, looking down at the two people standing at the city gate, An Jing immediately chided, ’Why did you come here? It’s too dangerous here, now go back to the Imperial Capital!’
An Jing and Xiao Changyi didn’t need to think to know that these two had come secretly, hiding it from the Emperor of Xiyun.
Tobanya said nothing.
Upon seeing her brother-in-law and sister-in-law, Ning Wenxian’s eyes reddened, ’Emperor brother, sister-in-law, Wen Xian came here with no intention to return alive. Wen Xian has never overstepped boundaries before; this is the first time. I hope Emperor brother and sister-in-law can allow this and let Wen Xian meet His Highness.’
Seeing Ning Wenxian determined and insisting on entering the city, An Jing and Xiao Changyi exchanged glances and still, they did not plan to let Ning Wenxian in.
An Jing tried persuading her again to return to the Imperial Capital.
But before An Jing could finish persuading, Ning Wenxian knelt down and declared vehemently, ’If Emperor brother and sister-in-law do not open the gate, Wen Xian will kneel here. If His Highness lives, Wen Xian lives; if His Highness dies, Wen Xian dies.’
The message was clear: she intended to share life and death with Su Chengyu.
An Jing, seeing Ning Wenxian kneeling below, first sighed, then looked at her husband and seeing him nod slightly, she said to the person kneeling below, ’Wen Xian, we’ll let you in. But, Wild Goose Jade, you came for Chengyu, what about you? Why are you so reckless?’
Upon hearing she would be let into the city, Ning Wenxian immediately stood up, delighted, ’Thank you, Emperor brother, sister-in-law, for allowing it.’
Tobanya calmly and respectfully said, ’Wild Goose Jade came with the Crown Princess Consort, naturally she must return with the Crown Princess Consort. If only Wild Goose Jade goes back, she would be restless for life.’
Standing beside Xiao Changyi, Meng Zhuqing wanted to curse. Restlessness is better than coming here to die!
This person really never eased his worries!
From Tobanya’s expression and posture, An Jing and Xiao Changyi weren’t sure if her words were true or not, but An Jing spoke again, ’If you come in and the epidemic can’t be treated, you may never be able to leave this city.’
Tobanya calmly said, ’Wild Goose Jade has no attachments, if she truly can’t leave Nanshen City, it’s fine.’
Meng Zhuqing felt both anger and pain. Angry that Tobanya wanted to come here to die, pained that Tobanya had no attachments.
An Jing and Xiao Changyi didn’t say much more, instructing to open the city gate and let Ning Wenxian and Tobanya in.
Before Ning Wenxian and Tobanya entered Nanshen City, An Jing gave them each a sachet containing epidemic prevention medicine to hang around their necks, and also had them apply realgar powder on their faces.
As soon as Ning Wenxian entered the city, An Jing and Xiao Changyi took her to the palace."
