Li Yunshen walked over and said with a smile: "No need, everyone get up." This is not a palace, there are not so many rules. When the palace came out of the palace, I passed by Nanxin Restaurant, and when I heard that there was a new brew there, I brought a few jars here to treat you, hoping that you would smile. ”

"The good wine of Nanxin Restaurant is hard to find, Her Royal Highness Concubine Yun is polite, and the officials are grateful."

It was the first time for Su Mei'er to see such a lovely smile on the faces of these usually fierce and vicious prison guards and jailers.

"Su Mei'er, your capital crime has been pardoned by His Majesty." Li Yunshen said to Su Mei'er.

Although Su Mei'er had heard the jailer say that she could go, but now she got such an accurate statement, knowing that she really didn't have to die, she was still so excited that she knelt on the ground, and suddenly burst into tears, and only after a while did she wake up like a dream and bow to the ground, and said silently: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”

"Get up," Li Yunshen smiled lightly, "This palace is here to pick you up on the orders of His Majesty." ”

"Where to pick me up?" Su Meier wiped away her tears and slowly raised her head. She knew that although she was exempt from capital crimes, she was bound to live crimes, and she was full of doubts about what awaited her in front of her.

"Please come with Hongu." Although she said "please", as soon as she finished speaking, two attendants stepped forward, put on an irresistible posture, led her forward, and soon left the prison wall.

On both sides of the road are old walls and large wastelands, and there is no scenery to speak of, but Su Mei'er, who has just come out of death row, feels that this world seems to be reborn for her, especially friendly and approachable, especially fresh and bright.

"This palace is here on the orders of His Majesty. I'll pick you up and take you to Yuya. Li Yunshen said as he walked.

Yugu was once a deserted suburb with a small remote village of only a few thousand households nearby, although it had been in ruins after the fighting in Guanzhong had subsided. It has been built again, but it is still a remote corner far from the land of abundance. And more crucially, this is where the fate of her life will change. It was here that she parted with almost all the good things in her life, and it was as memorable and heartbreaking as a nightmare for her.

"Is Your Majesty going to send me there?" Su Mei'er could not deny that the empress did think of a superior punishment second only to putting her to death.

Although when he knew that he was going to die, he had a nostalgia for life in his heart; But when she knew that her capital crime had been forgiven, she couldn't help but think about what was the point of her continuing to live now. The thought of dying alone in that desolate and barren place that saddened her withered and lost the hope that had just sprouted in her heart.

"It's not a handout." Li Yunshen shook his head, "It's to send you to reunite with your relatives." ”

"Loved ones?" This is a distant and unfamiliar word for Su Meier. She was lonely and said: I have no relatives. ”

"Su Mei'er," Li Yunshen said with a deep look, "Twenty years ago, Ling Zun Su Fu expelled you from the house in a fit of rage. But in fact he was only blinded by a moment of anger, and he didn't really want to break with you, not long after you left home. He regretted not doing it at the beginning, and sent people to look for it, but even the business was abandoned because of unintentional management, and it was only half a year later that he learned that you were separated in the Yugu Rebellion. After Ling Zun got the news, he sold his property, dismissed his servants, and traveled thousands of miles to Yugu with Ling Tang, walking all over the nearby countryside and barren mountains and suburbs, and persevering to find your traces. At last. They have scattered all their wealth in order to find you, and they can only make a living with a small business in Yugu. Today, they are sixty-seven and seventy-six years old, respectively, but they have not given up hope of finding you despite their old age and frailty, and even when His Majesty sent someone to Yugu to find the two of them a few days ago, the villagers who knew them from near and far could clearly tell what they described your appearance and characteristics back then. It can be seen that they have been for so many years. I didn't give up for a moment. ”

Before Li Yunshen's words were finished, Su Meier was already in tears and couldn't cry, and then she cried loudly, and her steps became trembling and staggering.

By this time, the group had come to a two-seater carriage parked on the main road. After the royal man saluted Li Yunshen, he helped Su Meier, who was crying incessantly, into the carriage.

"There is some change of clothes and dry food in the car," Listening to Su Mei'er's low sob, Li Yunshen said slowly through the car window: "Your Majesty also gave you fifty taels of gold as a coil to arrange food and accommodation along the way." After you go to Yugu to meet your parents, you can do whatever you want whether you want to stay in Yugu with your parents or take them back to the old house in Luoyang. After Ling Zun and Ling Tang knew the news that they were about to meet you, they must have been looking forward to it day and night. It's not too early, so let's get started. ”

The royal man received the order, gently raised the leather whip "driving", and the two horses pulling the cart spread their hooves and ran forward briskly, raising up gusts of dust along the way. A moment later, however, the carriage turned around again, turned back, and came to a halt.

Su Mei'er lifted the door curtain, wiped her tears and came out of the carriage, knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Li Yunshen a few times, and then straightened up and said, "Your Royal Highness Concubine Yun, Su Mei'er still has something to tell you." ”

"Oh?" Li Yunshen raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"Your Majesty and Her Royal Highness Concubine Yun's deep kindness, Su Mei'er is unforgettable. But Su Meier is a pariah, and there is nothing to repay, there is only one thing that is far from being reported, but it is also related to the Helan royal family, Su Meier does not dare to hide it, and implores Her Royal Highness Concubine Yun to help Su Meier tell His Majesty. ”

Li Yunshen looked at Su Mei'er with encouraging eyes, waiting for her to continue.

Su Mei'er continued to say in a hoarse voice: "Su Mei'er once hated Princess Pingnan deeply because of the past, and even to the extent that she hoped that she would die unexpectedly and that she would be able to take her place. Ironically, Su Meier's fate was firmly tied to Princess Pingnan because of that catastrophe - she was exiled with her, rescued and cared for by her, and even depended on her until the last moment of her life...... Later, I hated and thought about it, among the people Su Meier hated, there should never be Princess Pingnan; For her, Su Meier can only have envy, gratitude, and indebtedness, but it should not be hatred...... Su Meier wanted to tell His Majesty where the princess was buried, and asked her to arrange for the princess's bones to be brought back to her homeland, so that her long-cherished wish could be fulfilled and the fallen leaves could return to her roots. ”

After a while, Su Meier's carriage disappeared and gradually faded out of the sight of Li Yunshen and his party. Another person came down from a nearby pavilion and slowly walked to Li Yunshen's side.
