Chapter 2469: What do I want your heart for?

The personal guard was gone, and the guards had not been seen either. Amusa was anxious and hurried to her father's courtyard.

When she saw the guards guarding outside the courtyard, she breathed a sigh of relief, raised her neck and straightened her back, and walked over. When she got closer, she saw the worried faces of those people. When she saw her, she was happy for a moment and then fell silent. Amusa paused in front of them, and went straight inside without asking a word.

She was worried all the way, but she was relieved when she saw that her father's courtyard had not changed.

The parents were inside, and the father was sitting back and feeding the medicine to the mother. Seeing her come in, both of them were speechless.

Amusa walked over, her steps getting heavier and heavier, until she got closer and looked at her father's fat but exhausted look. Her eyes held back the pain, and she muttered for a long time before saying, "How could it be... suddenly like this?"

Ashery coughed twice, and An Xiangjie put down the medicine bowl and sighed, saying, "If you are asking about your father, his illness has always been like this and has never gotten better. If you are careful, you should have noticed that you are caring about your father." He is getting weaker day by day and is no longer what he was before.”

After that, he continued: "If you are asking about Nanman... I have nothing to say."

After hearing this, Amusa felt a pain in her heart. She couldn't help but choked up and said, "I really don't know why this is the result. Why do we Southern Barbarians end up like this..."

"You don't know, it's because you have never sobered up. Your father has protected you so well all these years, and has allowed you to indulge in this temperament. I thought you still had time, but now it seems that it is really a dream."

Amusa's eyes twitched slightly and she said, "What will happen to us? What will happen to them?"

Ashery gave a bitter smile and said: "What else can you do? Can you still see our guards now? You ask what will happen, and I also want to ask, what will happen to us, Amusa... You might as well ask why this is so In a short period of time, they will be able to completely control the Nanman."

Amusa's eyebrows trembled, and she raised her head in shock and asked, "Is there a thief?"

There is no doubt that there is an internal agent. What is important is who the internal agent is.

"who is it?"

An Xiangjie looked at her and smiled bitterly: "Who do you think it will be? Who will be willing to help the court deal with us, and who will be the one who betrays us."

Amusa could not have imagined that those elders must rely on them to enjoy wealth and wealth. Qingyan is her mother's person, and Qingshi is the person behind her. Who else could be there?Nanman has the ability to make friends with outsiders...sheqing? !

Thinking of this person, she couldn't help but think of An Mutong, his cold eyes and cold words.

"It's Sheqing! He's always been by his brother's side, and his brother has always resented us! It's them!" Amusa was almost dumbfounded by what she said in disbelief.

Why?Why?No matter what, they are a family. Why should he help outsiders deal with his own family?
Ashery was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile.

"He has no real power and no manpower. What is he betting on?"

Who is that?Amusa was shocked and confused, she couldn't find this person.

"It's bluestone."

When Ashery said this name, Amusa's breath stopped, and there was a roar in her head.

"No...it can't be him."

"Why can't it be him? Because he promised you that he would assist you and be your helper, so you believed him?" Amusa suddenly became excited: "How could it be him? If he did it, what would happen to him? What good can Yan Neng do? If he helps me wholeheartedly, in the future... in the future I will definitely promise him... promise him..."

At this point, she couldn't speak anymore.

Ashery: "What are you promising him? For him, being an elder is the end. Is it possible that you still want to give up the position of minister?"

Without waiting for Amusa to say anything, he continued: "When that day comes, it won't be a question of whether you think about it or not. In terms of ability, vision, and resourcefulness, he is above you. You think you can control him. , but in fact you have become the one who is at the mercy of others, just like a puppet, you can only be obedient."

Ashery's words hit the nail on the head. The color on Amusa's face faded. She slumped down, not knowing what she was thinking. At this moment, all her cognition was disrupted. She... couldn't see the person or the situation clearly. Is it true, as my father said, that I am short-sighted, confused, and unable to bear the heavy responsibility?
"Is it possible that all we can do now is sit back and wait for death?" Amusa murmured.

Seeing her like this, Ashery was heartbroken. He waved his hand and said, "Go back first and don't act rashly. If you still want to live, this time, you must obey me honestly."

……

Jiang Shunxiao officially moved into Nanman, together with Rong Yi. That night, the antidote was delivered, and Amusa came in person.

Although she felt embarrassed, she still wanted to take a look at what the man who was once almost manipulated by her looked like now.

"The general is so perseverant. Ordinary people cannot survive such poison, but you can endure it for so long."

Jiang Shunxiao looked at her with cold eyes and said nothing. He opened the porcelain bottle in front of her, but did not rush to take it.

He glanced at the antidote in his hand and said, "Barbarians are good at voodoo. I wonder if what the young master sent this time is the antidote or the voodoo poison?"

Amusa laughed out loud: "Aren't you just pretending now? I'm still a general who wants to see this confusion through to the end."

Jiang Shunxiao: "If I didn't pretend to be confused, you should be in the sky prison at this moment."

Amusa's smile faded slightly. She looked at Jiang Shunxiao and felt depressed.

"It is said that generals are invincible in battles. They always plan before taking action. This time when we go deep into the southern barbarians, are generals sure that everything is in order and all we need is the east wind?"

Jiang Shunxiao smiled: "Without complete preparations, I will not let my woman take risks. The young master has been arrogant for half his life, has he learned the lesson this time?"

Hearing these words, Amusa's face suddenly darkened, and she almost gritted her teeth and said, "I have never seen her! I have never met her!"

She ordered the arrest, but from beginning to end, she never even had a chance to meet her or be alone with her!
After that, she walked forward, took the porcelain bottle, poured one into her hand, and ate it without hesitation. She looked at him stubbornly and said, "If you don't believe me, I will eat it for you." Look, for a woman, you would rather endure pain than take another look at me, and she would rather see you in pain and never think of asking me to come to me to ask for a bottle of antidote. Is it really worth it? "

"We are husband and wife, we are meant to advance and retreat together, so what are you?"

Amusa's eyes trembled violently, she pointed at herself, and the antidote melted in her throat, very bitterly: "Am I still not worthy of you? I am the most noble woman in Nanman. Having me is equivalent to having the entire Nanman, besides, my feelings for you..."

"What's the point of wanting Nanman? What's the point of wanting your heart?" These two plain questions made Amusa defeated.
