Chapter Seventy-Eight: Parting
When he was a little farther away, he praised him, "Princess, you are really domineering today, as if you and Lord Lin have changed their roles, he used to say this kind of thing to you, but I didn't expect you to say it to him today." β
"This kind of person is just scolded, and he is no longer welcomed, and he still brazenly pretends not to know." Shangguan Mu said with a pouted face.
"But the princess used to be like thisγγγγ" Tsuka wanted to continue, but realized that she had said the wrong thing.
"I used to be like this?" Shangguan Mu pretended not to know and looked at Xiangxiang.
"Ehγγγ Princess was indeed very infatuated with Lord Lin before." Xian Xiang still replied euphemistically, but it clearly expressed that Shangguan Mu had been brazen before.
"Haha, cute little Xiang'er, I won't tease you, there are so many things today, I want to go back and sleep well, there will be nothing tomorrow, and besides, I want to trouble you and Danxiang to clean up the salute, it is estimated that we will leave for Dongyan soon." Shangguan Mu said.
"Huh? So fast? "It's a little incredulous that she is about to leave the land where she was born and raised so soon.
"Yes, the war is still going on, they can't afford to wait, if you don't want to follow me to Dongyan, I won't force you to go, after all, it's a place you don't know."
"What the princess said, even if the princess goes up the sword mountain and goes down to the sea of fire, the slave and maid will follow, how can it be possible to let the princess go to that far place alone." Ignoring it, Xiang Xiang said with a serious face.
"Of course I know you won't abandon me, but I will respect your thoughts, and there are your parents and friends here, who may never come back if they go this time." Shangguan Mu knew the pain of being away from his parents and friends, and the helplessness of never coming back after leaving, so he didn't want to experience it too.
"The slave followed the princess to the death, besides, princess, why can't she come back? After the princess gets married, she wants to come back and stay for a few days, and Prince Sunuo won't stop her? Xiang asked.
Shangguan Mu smiled bitterly, it was difficult to explain to Xi Xiang, she had never thought of marrying Su Nuo, as long as Xiqi resolved the crisis, she would have to prepare to escape, how could she still return to Xiqi at that time.
Shangguan Mu didn't expect to leave Xue Caiyi at such a time, she had just learned that her husband's life and death were uncertain, and she had just become pregnant, at her age, it was very dangerous to get pregnant and give birth, but unfortunately she couldn't be by her side. Shangguan Mu thought, this result may already be the best, after all, in the original novel, she was made into a human being, and now the worst plan is only to marry that Su Nuo, although Su Nuo must have some bad intentions towards her, but it is much better than being tortured to death.
After returning from the main hall of deliberations, Shangguan Mu has been talking to Xue Caiyi, or she will go to Dongyan in a few days, if she really escapes, she may never see Xue Caiyi again, and even letters can no longer communicate with each other, so she now cherishes the time with Xue Caiyi very much, this person who has been by her side since she came here, may never see each other again, Shangguan Mu felt a little uncomfortable, drooped his head and chatted with Xue Caiyi, and reviewed the "good things" that the two of them had done in the palace before, crying as he spoke.
"Alas, didn't the Imperial Doctor say that I can't be too sad now? Why do you still come to tears for me? Xue Caiyi looked at Shangguan Mu, who was crying, and shook her head and said, she has experienced too much in the past few days, and her eyes are a little swollen, and when she saw Shangguan Mu crying, her nose began to be a little sour again.
"I didn't mean to, it's just that I really don't want to leave you, I really want to see your child born."
"I don't know, I thought you were in love with me, haha, if Atai was hereγγγγγ" Speaking of Shangguan Tai, Xue Caiyi's voice suddenly quieted down, and he lowered his head and didn't speak.
"You've got to be good." Shangguan Mu hugged Xue Caiyi.
"Don't look like you'll never see you again, although Dongyan is far away from here, it's not enough to go on a lifetime, you can come back and see if you miss us," Xue Caiyi comforted.
"Princess, the Queen Mother, please come over," said Xiang Xiang.
"Okay, I'll go over now, you can rest first," Shangguan Mu said to Xue Caiyi.
Even if the Queen Mother doesn't send someone to look for her, she will personally go to say goodbye to the Queen Mother, if she wants to come to this palace, the only people she can say goodbye to are the Queen Mother Xue Caiyi and Shangguan Tai, and now Shangguan Tai's life and death are uncertain, the Queen Mother is the person who cares about her the most in this world, and has always considered everything for Shangguan Mu, but unfortunately Shangguan Mu can't be filial piety in front of her old man like a junior, let alone tell her that the old man is actually her real granddaughter is dead, and now this person is just a replacement.
Mu'er knocked on her grandmother, "In the past, Shangguan Mu hated these annoying etiquettes the most, but today she seriously kowtowed to the Queen Mother, and she may never see the Queen Mother again."
"Get up, child, in a blink of an eye, you are going to get married," the Queen Mother was also teary-eyed, "I originally wanted you to marry that kid from the Lin family and keep you by my side, but I didn't expect that kid to know what to do." Now, if you want to marry in this situation, I am afraid that you will inevitably be bullied. Grandma Sun, who had been waiting beside the Queen Mother, hurriedly brought a handkerchief.
"Grandmother, you are not in good health, don't be too sad, Mu'er is an upright princess when she marries, who dares to bully Mu'er, besides, is grandchild the kind of person who bullies people at will? In the past few days, I can't eat well or sleep well if I want to come to my grandmother for the sake of my thirteenth brother, so don't worry about Mu'er anymore," Shangguan Mu said.
"Alas, that's what you said, pity your thirteenth emperor, at such a young age, he has just started a family, but he γγγγ" the queen mother said and cried again.
"Queen Mother, don't cry like this anymore, I'm afraid my eyes will cry if I cry again." Grandma Sun comforted.
"Grandmother, my grandson married Dongyan this time, the sky is high and the road is far away, I can no longer serve by my grandmother's side, you must take care of your health, and also, I am not here, please take good care of Caiyi." Shangguan Mu said sullenly, he always thought that he was a heartless character, but he didn't expect to be so sentimental now.
"Don't worry, she is pregnant with Tai'er's only flesh and blood, and she is Yiyue's beloved daughter, with me and Yiyue here, naturally she will not be hurt at all."
Shangguan Mu nodded, and chatted with the Queen Mother until midnight Shangguan Mu returned to Muyun Pavilion, and they were still rushing to pack up their things overnight.
"You don't have to pack up so carefully, just bring some daily necessities, you shouldn't lack anything over there," Seeing that they were so exaggerated, Shangguan Mu said.
"But it's still a habit to use your own things, not to mention anything else, this Xiqi specialty is more delicious," Danxiang said.
Shangguan Mu shook his head, "Whatever you want, just bring some of my things, you don't need to bring those clothes and jewelry, by the way, I must bring my calligraphy and books." The calligraphy was left to her by Tuoba Lin, and every word in it was written by Tuoba Lin himself, and she relied on these calligraphy to slowly read and write here.
"Don't worry, princess, those are your two favorite things, and of course the slave will take care of them." Xiang said.
Shangguan Mu glanced at the busy Lu Tingyu and said to her, "Tingyu, you are not my maid, there is no need to follow me to Dongyan this time, if you want, I will give you a sum of money and go out of the palace to live a free and happy life." β
"No, listen to the rain to follow you to repay your life-saving grace, if it weren't for the princess, I might have died now, and I will never leave until I repay the favor." Lu listened to the rain and knelt down, for fear that Shangguan Mu would not take her away.
"Okay, you really, don't kneel at every turn, you see when Xiangdanxiang has knelt down with me, you are older than me, I will lose my life, I will take you there, don't kneel to me easily in the future." As a modern person, Shangguan Mu really couldn't accept others kneeling in front of her.
"Thank you, princess." Lu Tingyu said excitedly, Shangguan Mu looked at the three of them, and was a little moved in her heart, except for the Xiangxiang Danxiang who had been following her, she didn't expect that Lu Tingyu, who had known her for a short time, would be willing to follow her all the time, and her heart was warm.
