Black Belly Wife

while saying, “East Guardian, you go back to Yanzhou to see if Yunshu and Murong are well.”

 

“Yes.” East Guardian immediately left after receiving the order.

 

When the generals, who had been waiting for a long time, saw Chu Changge's grave expression, they all looked at Wei Zhentian with a confused expression, “Great General……”

 

Wei Zhentian raised his hand to signal them not to say more, then followed Chu Changge towards Feng Cheng's tent.

 

“Don't come in.” Chu Changge dropped these words coldly at Wei Zhentian.
He lifted the curtain and walked into the tent, asking, “Have you noticed anything strange about Xiyue's speech and behaviour? Something different from before?”

 

At that time, Feng Cheng was pounding medicine, and when he saw Chu Changge solely condemning him, he looked up at him in confusion, “What's wrong?”

 

Another person was also looking at Chu Changge――Qiu Shuiyin――the Yan army's military doctor.

 

Chu Changge, who had not yet noticed Qiu Shuiyin's presence, pointed out unhappily, “You heard me.”

 

Feng Cheng gave him an uncomfortable look, then frowned and thought for a moment.
That's when he said, “There are no big problems, but some small habits are different from before.
I asked her several times, and she said it was because she had been staying in the Li clan for too long.
But I remember when she first came back, her habits were the same as before.”

 

Chu Changge's face sank at Feng Cheng's words as he exclaimed, “Indeed!”

 

“Indeed what? Apart from what exactly?” The more Feng Cheng listened, the more confused he became.

 

“The one who has been living beside us is a fake Xiyue.
She is Hua Yeli's people.” Chu Changge answered sullenly.
His heart was so worried that he could not wait to fly back to Yanzhou immediately.

 

“How is this possible……” Feng Cheng's hand trembled, and the pill jar toppled over onto the table, “How is this possible……”

“How come you didn't notice anything different even when you shared a bed with her?” Chu Changge asked.

 

Feng Cheng fell onto the couch in dismay.
His face paled.
“If she is not Xie-er, then where is Xie-er?”

 

Chu Changge did not expect Feng Cheng's reaction to be so great.
He gave him a strange look as he said, “She should be in Hua Yeli's possession.”

 

“No, no, no……” Feng Cheng murmured, shaking his head, “That person is Xie-er.
It's Xie-er's body.
I can't be mistaken……
“

 

Chu Changge was stunned at these words, “You mean that body is still Xie-er's original body, but the person inside is Hua Yeli's people?”

 

Feng Cheng nodded.
Then, he suddenly raised his eyes and said: ''I remember now! After you and Murong Yunshu disappeared, Xie-er and I kept asking around for news about you.
But one day, she fainted.
When she woke up again, she told me not to search for you anymore.
She was afraid that what she found, in the end, was just a corpse, and she couldn't accept it.
That's why I gave up looking for you and took her on a tour of mountains and rivers to enjoy the beauty of nature until you asked South, East, North and West to come to find me to go to Yanzhou.”

 

“She must have been changed at that time.” Chu Changge pondered for a long time and wondered, “And where did Xie-er go?”

 

Feng Cheng closed his eyes in pain, “I don't know.
I really don't know.” It was surprising that he had been living with an unfamiliar soul for a long time……

 

The thought that Chu Xiyue would be carrying his child in her belly made Feng Cheng feel worse than death.
He couldn't even tell the woman he loved apart.
What kind of man was he……

 

Qiu Shuiyin looked coldly at the two men with anguish expressions on their faces.
Her heart felt inexpressibly envious and jealous.
As well as inexplicably heartbroken.
She thought, if there was also someone who loved her the way Chu Changge loved Murong Yunshu and Feng Cheng loved Chu Xiyue, she would definitely not let that person show such a painful expression.

The following day.

“Master, Old East has sent a letter!” North Guardian handed the letter from the East Custodian that carried by a nightjar to Chu Changge.

 

Chu Changge hurriedly opened it to read.
When the words 'Madam and the Little Leader had been captured by Hua Yeli' came into view, he roared and crushed the letter before throwing it into the air.
“Hua Yeli, if I don't break you into pieces, I'm not Chu Changge!”

Seeing such a reaction from Chu Changge, the three of them expected that the news from Old East must not have been good.
Thus, they all held their breath and did not dare to breathe.

 

Wei Zhentian thought that Chu Changge should have calmed down after the night.
He came over early in the morning, trying to ask about last night's situation.
When he walked to the door, he heard Chu Changge's roar that managed to make his legs tremble with fear. [+]

 

What had happened again to make the Great Leader Chu this furious?

 

Sometimes Wei Zhentian really felt that Chu Changge was like an unpredictable bomb, unpredictable in his moods.

 

At times like this, it was better for him to retreat.

 

Just as he turned around, he bumped into the soldier who had come to report the news.

 

“Great General.” The soldier stopped to salute.

 

“Hmm.” Wei Zhentian motioned for him to get up and then asked, “What's the matter?”

 

The soldier reported, “Word has come from the Liang army, asking Leader Chu to come to the Liang camp tonight for a banquet to discuss the alliance between the two armies.”

 

When Wei Zhentian heard this, he retorted, “You should have passed these words at once.
I am the commander in chief of this army.
If he wants to make peace, he should talk with me!”

 

“But……” The soldier lowered his head in difficulty and said, “But King Liang Jr said that since he is a vassal king, only those from the royal family are worthy of negotiating terms with him.”

 

“Isn't King Sheng in his camp?” Wei Zhentian asked.

 

“King Liang Jr said…..he's not talking about King Sheng…….”

 

“Then who is it?”

 

“It's……it's……
it's Chu Changge……”

 

Wei Zhentian yelled, “Nonsense!”

 

The soldier flung himself to the ground and said, “This subordinate does not dare to talk nonsense.
These are all words from the Liang army.
Please forgive me, Great General.”
