In the past few days, it is rare to be idle, but Ye Nianchen never thought that people would keep coming to her to look for her if she stayed at home.

Moreover, the person who was looking for her was really more surprising than the other, and now when she looks at the person in front of her, she is a little unexpected.

The former crown princess, now the queen mother, took advantage of the night to leave the palace without permission and came to her in person!

Seeing this, Ye Nianchen did not slack off, and quickly invited people into the house.

After Zhi'er served the tea, she didn't have to give orders, and retreated with the others, not to disturb the queen and Ye Nianchen's conversation.

And today's queen is traveling in casual clothes, except for Zhi'er, no one else in the house has ever seen her, and they don't know her true identity.

After the door was closed, only Ye Nianchen and the queen were left in the room.

"Niangniang, you came here in person so late, I don't know what to order?"

Ye Nianchen got straight to the point, but he was not too polite.

To tell the truth, she and Li Zhi's queen have met once in total, and she had to be called the crown princess at that time, and then she was in the main palace of Empress Dowager Jiang for two days, although the queen sent someone to send her something, but she didn't really show up.

Therefore, there was really no friendship between them, and she did not expect that she would meet the queen on the last night after leaving the capital.

Hearing Ye Nianchen's frank and direct question, the queen smiled slightly, but she didn't deliberately go around, and said directly: "I heard that you are leaving the capital tomorrow, so I specially came over to see you off in advance." ”

"I see. It is a great honor to be sent off by the queen in person. Seeing this, Ye Nianchen didn't ask the queen too much how she knew, but thanked her.

It stands to reason that except for a few people who know her whereabouts, no one else should know, and from this point of view, the queen must have learned from Li Zhi.

"You say that, but it makes Bengong a little embarrassed." The queen was still smiling, and she didn't look like she had changed much from when she first saw Ye Nianchen. It's just that the smile is more sincere.

"Why did the mother say this?" Ye Nianchen was a little puzzled. The queen's demeanor, words and deeds do not quite match her identity.

The mother of a country, and she has no personal relationship with her, it is already surprising that she came to see her off, and at this moment, although she has just opened her mouth. But the good tone and attitude are really too low.

Looked at. The queen's expression was calm and peaceful. looked at Ye Nianchen and said slowly: "Nianchen, although we have only met once before, this palace is extremely familiar with you. Even the palace's understanding and attention to you is not inferior to those around you. ”

"Today, this palace came to open my heart to you to have a good conversation, and those unnecessary appearances will be dispensed with, you, you don't even care about the glory that the emperor gives you, what is this palace?"

"Niangniang is afraid that she has misunderstood, Nianchen has never ......" Hearing this, Ye Nianchen wanted to explain.

However, the queen interrupted with a smile: "You don't have to explain, this palace knows that you have no disrespect for the emperor or this palace, and this palace really has no other meaning, I just hope that you can treat this palace as an ordinary friend and talk about it from the bottom of your heart, and we don't pay attention to the other so-called rules." ”

"In that case, I don't know what Niangniang wants to say to Nianchen?"

Ye Nianchen saw that the queen didn't seem to be pretending on purpose, so he also went along with her and said with a smile: "I'm listening to it." ”

"Nianchen, in fact, I thank you from the bottom of my heart, do you know why?" The queen will be like an ordinary woman, not so particular, almost whenever she thinks of it, she will say it wherever she wants, and it is with a little rare innocence.

"I don't know." Ye Nianchen replied honestly, he had never helped the queen in Laifeng, and he really didn't know where this thank you word came from.

"I know you well, but you don't know me at all, so you shouldn't know that I was ready to accept you as a sister in the palace."

The queen didn't have to guess anything more than Ye Nianchen, and said directly: "Even, not long ago, I was still thinking, I don't know which palace the emperor will give you as a dormitory?" After you enter the palace, what kind of changes will happen to the entire harem? When the emperor favors you alone, what should I do as the queen? If you give birth to a prince, the emperor should definitely make your child the crown prince in the end, right? ”

"Don't laugh at me, I really thought about it a lot at that time, and in fact, I was also mentally prepared to get along with you, and I was ready to accept it silently once it really happened."

Speaking of this, the queen looked at Ye Nianchen and smiled a little embarrassedly: "Do you think that I may not be as kind as I imagined?" In fact, if I really get to that point, I can't be sure if I can do it, but one thing I am sure of is that as long as the emperor is happy, no matter what I am asked to do, I will be willing. ”

"Mother's ......"

Ye Nianchen's heart suddenly felt as if something was blocked, and he was a little uncomfortable.

"It's okay, you listen to me first."

The queen shook her head, signaled that Ye Nianchen didn't have to care, and continued: "But later, just two days ago, he suddenly took the initiative to tell me that he would let you leave the capital with Gu Guoshi. Nianchen, you can't imagine what my mood was like at that time, I was so happy that I wanted to cry but I was sad and confused. I can't believe it, but I know I can believe it. ”

The queen let out a long sigh, her eyes were dazzled, but she said the deepest words in her heart word by word: "I am happy, that's because there is no woman in the world who really wants her husband to marry another woman, and she is also the person he loves wholeheartedly." So knowing that he was finally willing to let you go, it was like I had lifted the biggest burden in my heart, how could I not be happy and excited. But ......"

But for him, it hurts to give up the person he loves the most. Although he didn't say anything, I could feel the pain and reluctance in his heart. He's sad, he's sad, how can I be better? ”

Tears kept falling down the queen's cheeks, and the sadness and worry could not be faked at all, which made Ye Nianchen feel a little sad.

She didn't know what she could say, and it might be better to say nothing at all.

There are some things that have been accumulated in the queen's heart for too long, and it is a good thing to pour them out.

Although Ye Nianchen didn't feel that he owed anything to the queen, he was also a woman. She can naturally understand the feelings in the queen's heart.

Invisibly. She has a lot of respect for the queen in front of her, because most women in the world encounter such a thing, but I am afraid that few people can do better than the queen.

"I'm sorry. Makes you laugh. ”

Soon. The queen realized her gaffe. Hurriedly took the handkerchief handed by Ye Nianchen, wiped his tears, and then adjusted his breathing. Then he said: "Actually, I really thank you from the bottom of my heart, although I don't know what you said to the emperor that day, but in the end he was able to make the most beneficial decision in line with the status of the king of a country, no matter what, this is your credit!" So, public and private, I really thank you. ”

These words made Ye Nianchen even more embarrassed.

"Niangniang, don't say that, in fact, I didn't do anything, just for myself."

Ye Nianchen said frankly: "You should also know who the person I like is, I am just pursuing my own happiness, and I really can't afford to thank my mother." ”

"It doesn't matter, the important thing is that the emperor's decision is really the best result for me now."

The queen said: "Although it is a bit selfish to say this, although I know that the emperor cannot love me as much as he loves you no matter what, I believe that time will dilute the pain in his heart." And I, as long as I can always be by his side, even if he will never love me like that, at least he will slowly accept me and get used to my company, that way, it is enough! ”

Her gaze was full of hope and determination, and this look made her particularly moving.

Ye Nianchen couldn't help but be stunned, and his heart was quite moved by the woman in front of him.

"Mother is right, time will dilute a lot of things, and at the same time, people will get a lot." She subconsciously said: "Niangniang is so attentive, I believe that one day the emperor will understand who is the person who is really worthy of his cherishing and care." ”

"Thank you for my encouragement, although it is difficult to achieve, but I will always persevere and never give up!"

The queen smiled slightly, looked at Ye Nianchen and said with emotion: "Although I can never occupy the position reserved in the depths of his heart, for me, long-term companionship is the best destination." ”

"Nianchen, not all people are so lucky to get both at the same time, and if you can get one of them, you will not be in vain to come to this world."

The queen took Ye Nianchen's hand and blessed her heartily: "You and Gu Guoshi are together, and each other puts each other in the most important position in their hearts, and now they can finally accompany each other for a long time, so I wish you happiness and happiness forever!" ”

"Thank you! We will, we will! Ye Nianchen shook the queen's hand and said with a smile: "You are the same, always happy!" ”

At the last moment, the two women, who had no real friendship, blessed each other from the bottom of their hearts.

This night was particularly beautiful and warm.

Early the next morning, before dawn, Ye Nianchen woke up automatically.

There weren't too many words, just a few simple goodbyes, and the group got into the car and officially set off.

Steward De, Mrs. Zhou and Xiao Lan reluctantly watched the carriage disappear from sight, but they followed Ye Nianchen's instructions and did not send it far.

The other subordinates in the mansion are not too clear, but they probably know that the young lady has to go out these days, and as for what to do and where to go, they don't know one by one.

Gu Mingyi did not come directly to meet Ye Nianchen and Liu Zigang, but took the first step and waited at the place where he had to pass three miles on the outskirts of the city.

When Ye Nianchen's carriage arrived, the two parties quickly merged into a convoy.

However, they only had two chariots in total, plus a few fast horses, which did not look too conspicuous, and the number of people accompanying them was reduced as much as possible.

Of course, this does not mean that safety cannot be guaranteed, Gu Mingyi has already arranged everything, thoughtful and meticulous.

After arriving at the meeting place, Liu Zitong quickly got out of the carriage.

"Mingyi, Nianchen, my uncle won't go in the carriage with you, I'll take the first step, and I can arrange to pick you up earlier after I arrive in southern Xinjiang."

Liu Zitong was very simple and neat, carried a burden on his own, rode a fast horse, and only followed two plainclothes guards by his side, a group of three horses, and soon set off first.

Although according to Li Zhi's intentions, Liu Zitong cannot appear publicly in southern Xinjiang for the time being, this does not mean that he can really lack his anchor for a long time.

In addition, in Gu Mingyi's strategy now, many things need to be secretly foreshadowed by him, so he must rush back first.

It was too much time to take a carriage, and he didn't have to cultivate as well as Gu Mingyi anyway, so he took two people to hurry back to fight an outpost.

"Uncle is really anxious, just throw down a sentence and leave."

Gu Mingyi couldn't help but smile, looked at Liu Zitong's back and said a word.

Ye Nianchen beside him smiled and said: "He is like this, this is fine, we don't have to worry about the road, the carriage can go slower, and you can be more comfortable with less bumps, which is better for your body." ”

"Chen'er, I'm almost good, look at it, isn't it very strong?" Gu Mingyi patted his chest as he spoke, indicating that he was defenseless.

Although you can enjoy Nianchen's meticulous care every day, as a dignified man, he is always cared for as a patient by his beloved woman, which is still a little bad.

"Don't talk nonsense, you're suffering from internal injuries, I'm a doctor!" Ye Nianchen glared at Gu Mingyi, and quickly ordered: "Okay, get in the car immediately and hide well, you must listen to me, I can recuperate how I recuperate!" ”

"Okay, okay, everything is up to us!" Seeing this, Gu Mingyi no longer resisted, and got into the carriage with a smile obediently.

Seeing this, Zhi'er on the side couldn't hold back her laughter directly, and when she saw her young lady glaring at her, she immediately stopped laughing and pulled Jasmine on the side to the carriage behind.

"Miss, Auntie, sit down, let's go!"

The coachman's shadow was quickly ready, and it was rare for him to take the initiative to shout, and he was so smiling.

Maybe it's because there is Jasmine, the girl he likes, sitting in the carriage behind, maybe it's happy to return home, maybe it's happy for his own young lady and Gu Mingyi...... (To be continued.) )
