Chapter 45: The Departure (I)
Xi San, Yu Wenxuan was already slightly drunk, but he still needed to be ordered by the emperor to send Yue'er back to Jingren Palace. Obviously, this is Yuwenduan's intention to create an opportunity for his younger brother and future brother-in-law to enhance their relationship, and Yuwenxuan and Yue'er naturally understand, so they tacitly agreed.
A few palace maids were playing lanterns, Yu Wenxuan and Yue'er walked side by side by the light, they walked very slowly, it was dark but the hour was not too late, so there was no need to rush.
At this time, the osmanthus planted in the palace is in full bloom, although it is difficult to find a trace on the road, but it is still dusty and fluttering, Yu Wenxuan can't help but feel that the wine is sobering up for the most part.
Yu Wenxuan put one hand behind his back, and the other hand held the folding fan that he often played with on weekdays, and did not speak. Yue'er followed Yu Wenxuan's side, raising her eyes from time to time to look at the bright moon in the sky, approaching the fifteenth, the moon was getting rounder and rounder. It's good that the two of them just walked quietly.
Yuwenxuan saw through Yue'er's mind and asked, "Homesick?" ”
It has been a few months since Yue'er came to Da Zhou, and this is the first time she has been away from home for so long.
"Sort of." Yue'er replied frankly.
"Then how about I take leave from the imperial brother and accompany you back to the country of Sulphur after some time?" Yu Wenxuan made a promise without thinking.
"Brother Xuan is busy with military affairs, so it's still not good, Yue'er doesn't want to be gossiped about by others. Besides, you are the prince of the Great Zhou, and there will definitely be a lot of unnecessary trouble if you want to go to the Sulphur Kingdom. Yue'er paused for a moment and then continued, "This is also my home." ”
Yu Wenxuan smiled, but behind the smile was full of complex emotions, including joy at Yue'er's words, distress at Yue'er being so understanding, and helplessness about the special identity of the two of them.
When he arrived at the gate of Jingren Palace, Yu Wenxuan stopped, and Yue'er turned sideways to him.
"After the fifteenth we are about to leave, remember to pack up your things, I told you before that you don't have to worry about food and clothing, just pack your belongings, and what snacks you want to bring to tell the imperial dining room in advance. I'll pick you up then. Yu Wenxuan said that he will definitely be very busy in the next few days, and there are a lot of official affairs that need to be settled and handed over, so only a moment of leisure at this time can be used to advise again.
"Okay." Yue'er responded obediently, soft and glutinous.
"Let's get in." The entourage dispersed into two waves, leaving only a small eunuch with a lantern by Yu Wenxuan's side.
"I'm watching you go." Yue'er tilted her head slightly and smiled sweetly, completely looking like she was bidding farewell to her lover's little daughter.
"Okay." Yu Wenxuan's tone was extremely spoiled, he seemed to only talk to Yu Wenmin like this before, and even Yu Wenning, a younger sister who grew up together, would be bullied by him from time to time.
Yue'er saluted Yuwenxuan and watched him leave until she couldn't see his back.
The next day, after the morning court, there was no need for Yuwen Xuanming to say, Yuwen Duan also instructed him to stay. There are some things that are inconvenient to say at the family banquet last night, but at this time, there are only two brothers left in this hall, so there is no need to taboo anything.
"Let's say, I urged you a few days ago, you always swallow and vomit, but why do you want to refuse on this ground when you are going to be sent to the south, the truth behind this will not be as simple as the explanation we gave to the Sulphur Kingdom that it is just a bunch of bandits and robbers." Yu Wenduan's expression was serious, and he tossed and turned all night, just waiting for Yu Wenxuan's answer today.
"Brother Huihuang, in fact, the case has been investigated after this period of time, and the younger brother has not reported it, is it ......" Yu Wenxuan still hesitated after all.
"What is it?"
Yu Wenxuan glanced at Yu Wenduan, in his brother's eyes, he could clearly feel the hidden anger, and the same, as well as the trust in Yu Wenxuan.
"Behind this, it may involve the king of Rongjun, as well as some officers and soldiers in the Yanyun region." Yu Wenxuan took a deep breath. At this point, Yu Wenduan's cleverness already knew what Yu Wenxuan was going to say next, but he didn't interrupt, but waited for Yu Wenxuan to continue.
