Chapter Eighty-Eight: Returning to His Homeland

After Lian Mo got married, he was entangled by a thousand snows every day and couldn't be clean for a moment, where could he still take care of Yuanxin, Yuanxin quietly practiced martial arts diligently in Yuan Chen's palace, and after a few days in a hurry, it was time to leave the northern capital.

Yuanxin took the second princess, Lian Mo took Qianxue to prepare to leave, the monarch sent a group of people to marry Qianxue, and the team set off to the south.

Yuan Chen quietly stood on the city tower and watched them leave, his eyes full of loneliness. When and when will I leave?

Yuan Chen closed his eyes in pain, spit out a mouthful of blood, and the attendants stepped forward to support him in a panic, shouting for the national teacher.

When Yuan Chen woke up, he was already lying on the ice bed, covered with treasures and pearls, his lips were frozen and purple, and it was the only place where his pale body could reflect his qi and blood, he frowned in pain, and his cold hairs stood up one by one, showing that he was just a mortal, and he was also a mortal who could feel the warmth and cold.

The monarch was standing by the bedside, and there was no one else in the room.

Yuan Chen opened his eyes and called weakly, "Your Majesty." ”

"The national teacher is awake." The monarch sighed, "Seven emotions and six desires can stimulate the heart and blood the most, and the national teacher is emotional again." ”

Yuan Chen's eyes were dilated, and he said weakly, "I think I may, really can't do it." ”

The king said to him firmly, "No, as my national teacher, you are a great talent, and I don't believe that this little thing can stump you." ”

Yuan Chen closed his eyes in despair and sadness, relaxed his body, and let the cold air of Bao and Mingzhu invade his skin and gather his heart.

Yuanxin was sullen along the way, without the usual cheerfulness, Lian Mo was pulled by Qianxue and sat in the carriage, while the second princess was in the following car, Yuanxin hid cleanly, and buried himself in thinking about things.

He was thinking about the conversation with Yuan Chen, the king of Minnan didn't know that he was the national teacher of the northern country, so did the king of Minnan know that he was still alive? After he was poisoned, he returned to southern Fujian, but why did he go to the north again?

Southern Fujian is thousands of miles away from the north, and when he was dying, if it weren't for the things that could save his life in the north, he would have no reason to go to the north. His survival in the northern kingdom proves that he came to the northern kingdom to detoxify.

And after detoxifying, why didn't he leave the northern country, and the poison was not completely lifted? Controlled by others? Or is there another reason? And he stayed in the north as a national teacher, in exchange for the antidote? There must be a number of years in this, and from what I know about him, he is not a person who steals his life, and he will not be willing to be controlled by others all the time. Three years? Five years?

Why didn't he go with Yu An, he and Yu An broke through many obstacles to get together, why did he leave Yu An alone? He doesn't have faith in the antidote to the Northland? He doesn't want Yuan to go on an adventure with him? What's going on here?

Yuanxin knocked on his head, he couldn't think of a reason, Yuan Chen didn't say anything, and he couldn't help much, so he could only worry secretly.

When they arrived at the border town, Cheng Zheng and Jinfeng had already led people to wait, because Yuanxin mentioned Lian Mo in the letter, and Cheng Zheng was not surprised.

It's just that when I saw the second princess, I was still a little distracted, this is a face that I haven't seen for two years, it is very similar to Yilin, but it is thinner and paler, compared to Yilin's dignified and gentle, she has taken away a little bit of beauty and weakness.

Cheng Zheng remembered the matter of returning to the palace from Jiangnan, and he had scruples, so he hurriedly greeted him and did not dare to approach.

Yuanxin saw it in his eyes, stepped forward and led a few people into the inn, and the group settled down in the town to rest and adjust.

The next day, the two teams parted ways, the two women said goodbye, Qianxue took the second princess's hand with tears in her eyes, "Sister Yu, you have to take care of yourself." ”

"So are you." The second princess whispered, and the two got into the carriage separately.

Cheng Zheng thanked Lian Mo, and Lian Mo waved his hand to stop him from politely, "What's polite, just call cousin." ”

Cheng Zheng was displeased, and said coldly to distance the two, "You have a merit in saving the second princess, I will make it clear to the emperor when I go back, as for the rest, don't say more." ”

Lian Mo smiled heartily, "Little family." Alright, you can go. ”

Cheng Zheng got on the horse, looked back at him and hugged his fist, "Don't leave it here." ”

Yuanxin said goodbye with a wicked smile, "Cousin, take care all the way, newlywed Yan'er, don't be too anxious on the road, save some strength." ”

Lian Mo sighed and said disdainfully, "A dog can't spit out ivory from his mouth." ”

"If I could vomit ivory, I would have made a fortune a long time ago," Yuan Xin stepped forward happily, "What a sigh my cousin, hugging a beautiful woman, and having a rich dowry, a good thing that I can't ask for." ”

Lian Mo pulled Yuanxin forward for a few words, carried Qianxue on his back, and whispered, "I'm afraid that my father will skin me alive." ”

Yuanxin pouted and said, "It's just a woman to bring back, not really." ”

Lian Mo thoughtfully, "If I'm not mistaken, this is the thirty-sixth woman I brought back." ”

"I'm X!" Yuanxin couldn't help but sigh, "Cousin, I can't see that you are hiding deeply." ”

Lian Mo was quite helpless, "There are herdsmen who donate, ministers who send them, relatives who are kind, and those who are chosen by the queen mother...... In short, I have a lot of women......"

Yuanxin secretly looked back at Qianxue's carriage guiltily, thinking that it was a good thing for her to marry Lian Mo, but now it seems that the blessings and misfortunes are unknown, Yuanxin said seriously, "Qianxue, she is simple and kind, and I hope my cousin will take more care of her in the future." ”

Lian Mo nodded, "I will." ”

Yuanxin listened to his firm tone, put his mind at ease, patted Lian Mo's shoulder and persuaded, "Cousin, take care of your body, don't play too hard." ”

Lian Mo raised his hand to hit him, Yuanxin hurriedly got on his horse and left, shouting, "Goodbye cousin, goodbye cousin, I wish you two a happy marriage, and give birth to a noble son early!" ”

Cheng Zheng and Yuanxin worked hard for more than ten days, and finally arrived at the Beijing realm, at this time the spring and Jingming, the grass grew and the warbler flew, Yuanxin took a deep breath, raised his head and looked at the capital under the sun, brilliant and gorgeous, "Menghan, I'm back." ”

The emperor has sent a small team of men and horses to meet them in the suburbs of Beijing and escort them to the palace on the outskirts of Beijing. It was the same carriage coming from afar, the same Imperial Forest Army greeting him, and the same Beijing Suburb Palace, and the qiē in front of him was too similar to two years ago, and Cheng Zheng couldn't help but feel sad.

In the palace, the imperial doctor dripped blood and tested her relatives, and it turned out that it was the real second princess, and the emperor excitedly took the second princess in his arms, "My son, it's been twenty years, and my father has finally seen you." ”

Compared with the emperor's excitement, the second princess was very calm and unfazed, just smiled faintly and called softly, "Father." ”

Since Yishan is already the second princess recognized by the world, the emperor can only include the second princess in the royal family in the name of her adopted daughter, seal Princess Rongshuo, eat thousands of households, and give the name and tranquility, implying a peaceful life and calm waves.

And these are not cared about by Yuanxin. Since he sent the second princess into the palace, he quietly retreated. He rode his horse to the palace of Hong'an, and the gatekeeper invited him in without passing the word. Min Xuan was in the mansion, and he was not surprised at all when he saw Yuanxin coming in, "I knew you would come, and I was waiting for you." ”

Yuanxin didn't have any etiquette, and stepped forward and asked, "What about Menghan?" ”

Min Xuan sighed, slightly sad, "She's dead." ”

"You talk nonsense!" Yuanxin was shocked when he heard a thunderbolt on a sunny day, but he still stubbornly didn't believe it.

Without any argument, Min Xuan asked, "Are you going to go to her room and have a look?" ”

"Take me!"

Min Xuan took him to the backyard, which was Menghan's new house, in the autumn of the year before last, Menghan was wearing a red wedding dress here, sitting lonely in front of the happy bed, full of sadness.

Yuanxin pushed open the door, and a dark and cold atmosphere rushed towards him, although the furnishings in the house were neat, they were all covered with dust, and it was obvious that no one had cleaned them for a long time.

He didn't go in, but turned his head and asked Minxuan, "Why did he marry you?" ”

"To make you die."

"Why did you marry her?"

"Keep her as my guest in the curtain and plan for me." Min Xuan replied unreservedly, very sincerely.

Yuanxin nodded very calmly, after two years, it was still a change for him, he was silent for a moment, and then asked, "Who killed her?" ”

"Cheng Zheng." Min Xuan said sincerely.

Yuanxin was first surprised, and then believed, yes, it was him, and he should hate Menghan. My grandfather and mother both died because of my impulsiveness, and my impulsiveness was because of Menghan. Yuanxin turned his head to look inside the room and didn't ask any more questions.

Seeing that he believed it, Min Xuan put his mind at ease and said to him, "It's all Menghan's old things, you can go in and see for yourself, this king is gone." ”

After Min Xuan left, Yuanxin hesitated against the door frame, and finally stepped in.

There were no newlywed decorations in the house, and Yuanxin guessed that it would be Menghan who let his subordinates withdraw on the second day of the wedding.

He walked into the round table and imagined what Menghan would look like to eat here every day, what she liked to eat, was she alone or was Minxuan with her?

He approached the bedside and imagined what Menghan would dream of when she was asleep, happy or sad?

He approached the dresser and imagined how beautiful Menghan was to be combed into a bun by the maid and pulled her hair into a bride.

He approached the window and imagined that Menghan would be standing here looking at the courtyard, what would she think about and would she cry?

He approached the low couch and imagined what Menghan was lying on it reading a book, what kind of words and phrases did she see, and did she understand it?

He approached the desk and imagined what Menghan would look like writing here, what she was writing, and whether her calligraphy had improved.

Yuanxin looked around the house, imagining the scene of Menghan's work and rest in every place, which was shocking and sad.

He opened the drawer of the desk, saw a goose feather, remembered her enthusiastic appearance waving goose feathers in the Zhenxi Wangfu two years ago, and smiled bitterly, Menghan, you still can't learn to write with a pen after all. Under the feathers there is a stack of manuscripts, which are the words of Menghan, horizontal and vertical, without any rules.

Yuanxin picked it up, "I only found myself when I left you, and my smiling eyes shed tears." Yuanxin. ”

"The most beautiful thing is not the rainy day, but the eaves that have escaped the rain with you. Yuanxin. ”

"It took all my luck to meet you in my lifetime. Yuanxin. ”

"Maybe time is an antidote, and it's the poison I'm taking right now. Yuanxin. ”

"Write loving you forever at the end of the poem, you are the only thing I want to know. Yuanxin. ”

"The most beautiful scene of my life is meeting you. Yuanxin. ”

"You are a wound I can't put into words. Yuanxin. ”

"I miss you so much. Yuanxin. ”

“……”

Yuanxin looked at it, unconsciously tears had blurred his eyes, he casually turned a few pages back, a thick pile, each page had his name written at the end, he couldn't bear to flip through it again, his heart was like a knife, and he couldn't cry.

I should have known that the resolute words you said to me before you got married, that you were a liar, were deliberately forcing me to leave. I should have seen that you hurt more than I did. It's because I'm too stupid, I shouldn't be dismissed by you with a few words, and I shouldn't shake my heart for you.

What should I do, Menghan, I regret it, I regret it so much, give me another chance, I will definitely not let you go, never. Menghan, I have the ability to protect you now, my martial arts are very high, is it good for you to come back to me, I promise that I will not let anyone hurt you, I will not let you be hunted down again, and I will not let you be frightened again.

Menghan, I have the ability to protect you, why aren't you there?

Yuanxin hugged his head and cried, like a wronged child, extremely pitiful. He didn't care about his manners, he didn't care if someone would come in suddenly, he just cried loudly and wantonly, just wanting to cry well.

After a long time, Yuanxin came out of the backyard, and it was already dusk. Yuanxin came to the front hall in despair, took Menghan's manuscript and asked Minxuan, "Can I take these with me?" ”

Min Xuan nodded.

"Thank you." Yuanxin dropped a sentence gloomily and went out.

He walked alone on the street, like a walking corpse. At the intersection leading to the door of the house, he suddenly stopped, stood in the middle of the road for a moment, and walked out of the city.

Yuanxin came to the Cheng family cemetery and found the tomb of his parents, the grave had grown weeds, and the surrounding area was barren. He simply pulled out the weeds around him, walked slowly to the stone monument, and stroked it gently, as if he was afraid of waking up a sleeping person.

"Mother, I'm late." Yuanxin bowed his head, two tears fell on the stone tablet, Yuanxin recalled the events of his childhood, one of the few scenes in his memory of the family being happy.

He remembered his mother's kindness when he was a child, remembered that he was ignorant and insisted on traveling far away, remembered his mother's eager eyes every time he returned, and remembered the situation when he took Menghan up the mountain two years ago. And it was because of his own stupidity that his mother, who had promised to be a Buddha, came out to confess her guilt, and she felt infinite regret in her faith, but she could only helplessly turn into tears and shed out. He curled up in front of the tombstone, taking it for his mother's embrace, looking for warmth in the cold ground. (To be continued.) )
