Chapter 273: Chu Yunxi is gone
"Master, it's getting dark, so stay in this palace for the time being, and if you need anything or are not used to, send someone to deliver a message to me."
After returning to the Shengning Palace, Ye Lingxi simply arranged a residence for Chu Yunxi, and assigned him several palace maids and eunuchs to take care of him.
"You mustn't snub my master. My master is happy to be quiet, when he didn't call you, you were waiting outside the hall, do you understand? ”
Ye Lingxi turned his head again and commanded a few subordinates with majesty.
"The slave obeys the emperor's decree."
"The slave obeys."
Ye Lingxi nodded, then gestured to Chu Yunxi's eyes, and then turned to leave. She quickly summoned her ministers to discuss the strategy of confrontation with Jun Anguo.
Murong Chengan, as the "queen" and "strategist", also went to discuss with Ye Lingxi.
Separation always happens so suddenly.
At this time, Ye Lingxi and Murong Chengan would not know that this separation from Chu Yunxi would be forever.
After Ye Lingxi and Murong Cheng'an left, Chu Yunxi sat at the table, holding a teacup thoughtfully.
The King of Ten Thousand Snakes was staring at Chu Yunxi from the side, and since it figured out Chu Yunxi's intention to commit suicide, it followed Chu Yunxi every step of the way, staring at Chu Yunxi without sleep.
Fortunately, it is not winter, and the king of ten thousand snakes has not yet had such a strong desire for sleep.
In fact, Ye Lingxi did not have any doubts about the entourage of the King of Ten Thousand Snakes this time.
The King of Ten Thousand Snakes originally lived in the wild, and the mountain behind Yunxizhuang was the most habitable place for it, but this time, it said that it would follow Ye Lingxi to set off together, which was too strange.
However, because Ye Lingxi had been thinking about the current situation in Shengning Kingdom in her heart, she didn't care too much about this kind of "trivial matter", and the King of Ten Thousand Snakes followed if she wanted to, and she didn't pursue it too deeply.
After a long time, Ye Lingxi suddenly understood that many major events would have some small details of "early warning" in the brewing stage, just like the strange behavior of small animals before a major earthquake and the strange tranquility before a storm.
If you ignore these small details, then you will not be able to anticipate major changes in the future in the first place, and it is easy to lose some important people or things in your life.
It's a pity that she understood too late.
"Someone, prepare pen and ink."
Chu Yunxi finally put the teacup gently on the table, got up and ordered a little eunuch.
At this time, the King of Ten Thousand Snakes had already fallen asleep on the bed because of the "food" that Chu Yunxi fed him.
……
The discussion in the imperial study was full of gunpowder, and the ministers of the "attacking faction" led by Mo Yichen had escalated from an armed counterattack on the border to directly sending troops to attack Jun'anguo, while the ministers of the "conservative" faction were still insisting on sending an envoy to Jun'anguo for negotiations.
Ye Lingxi was one head and two big, and her hand under the sleeve robe secretly poked Murong Chengan, hoping that Murong Chengan would give her an idea.
After all, there are factors of the martyr clan in it, and Ye Lingxi really can't pull his face to directly reject Mo Yichen's proposal and make a decision on the plan of the "conservatives".
And Murong Cheng'an didn't speak for a long time, not because he was entangled in the matter of the border dispute between the two countries, but because he was thinking about how to get Ye Lingxi out of it as soon as possible and stay away from these disputes and hatred.
Although from the perspective of a king of a country, it must be more reasonable to salute first and then soldier.
However, if you can directly send troops to Jun'an Country once and for all, then it is better to fight happily, Tianhe Country can support Shengning Kingdom, and when the time comes, Ye Lingxi will avenge the Martyrs, and he will no longer be burdened with the responsibilities of the Martyrs.
As for the rest, Murong Chengan didn't want these complicated things in the world to disturb the comfortable life of him and Ye Lingxi's family.
When Ye Lingxi gave birth to their child safely, Murong Chengan had been planning that their family could live in seclusion in the mountains and forests and travel around.
If it weren't for the Fruit of the Divine Tree of Shocking Force, Ye Lingxi's remaining time would not be long.
Less than four years have passed.
These days, Ye Lingxi and Murong Chengan have tacitly kept silent about this matter, I'm afraid they are worried that the other party will be sad because of this.
The red dress has not heard back for a long time, and I don't know if there is any new progress in the pursuit of the fruit of the Divine Tree of Shocking Force.
"What is your opinion on this?"
While Murong Chengan was pondering, Ye Lingxi finally couldn't support it anymore, and directly asked Murong Chengan to talk about his views.
Murong Cheng'an, who was named, was slightly stunned for a moment, and then got up and knelt on the ground.
"Back to the emperor, Jun Anguo has repeatedly violated our borders, which is really too deceitful. Moreover, the emperor of Jun Anguo is treacherous and cunning, and he does things badly and viciously, which is really not a gentleman's behavior. If our country sends envoys and takes the initiative to sue for peace, I am afraid that Jun Anguo will think that we are afraid of them. Your Majesty, please think again. ”
Although Murong Chengan did not explicitly say that he supported taking the initiative to send troops, the meaning of these words could not be clearer.
Ye Lingxi didn't expect Murong Chengan to think like this, she also thought that with Murong Chengan's heart of being the emperor of a country, he would coincide with her!
"So...... I ......"
Just when Ye Lingxi was hesitating whether to find another excuse to delay today, a hurried announcement suddenly came from outside the door.
When she learned that it was the subordinate she assigned to Chu Yunxi who came to ask for a meeting, Ye Lingxi's heart suddenly "chuckled", and a very bad premonition rose in an instant.
Chu Yunxi knew that she was now discussing a major matter related to the border dispute with Jun Anguo, and she would definitely not order her subordinates to come and call her because of any trivial matter.
Could it be that Chu Yunxi's body suddenly deteriorated?!
"Hurry up!"
Ye Lingxi couldn't help but raise her hand to cover her chest, because that feeling of flustery really made her very uncomfortable.
Murong Chengan hurriedly got up, sat down beside Ye Lingxi again, held her hand and gently supported her, and let her lean slightly on his body.
With Murong Chengan's warm support, Ye Lingxi felt slightly more comfortable.
A little eunuch assigned to Chu Yunxi by Ye Lingxi ran into the imperial study with a roll, knelt in front of Ye Lingxi's desk, and trembled in panic.
Ever since Chu Yunxi appeared, the little eunuch had already seen the importance of Chu Yunxi to the emperor, so he had been waiting carefully.
Chu Yunxi asked for pen and ink, and he hurriedly prepared to serve it. Then, Chu Yunxi asked him to wait outside the hall, and he obediently stood outside the door.
Until a long time passed, he did not hear any sound in the hall, and it was strangely quiet.
So, he knocked tentatively on the door and asked Chu Yunxi if he needed a bath water.
However, there was no response from the house.
The little eunuch was also quite clever, he prepared a plate of snacks before pushing the door in.
If he accidentally disturbed Chu Yunxi, he had a reasonable reason.
However, the room was empty, and there was no trace of Chu Yunxi at all, and there was still a letter on the table, and the envelope said "Ling Xi personally opened".
The little eunuch panicked all of a sudden, and the snacks in his hand fell to the ground in fright, so he hurriedly took the letter and ran to report to Ye Lingxi.
Just now, several of their subordinates were still chatting together, thinking that this son, who was suddenly brought into the palace by the emperor, might be the new favorite brought back by the emperor's trip.
When the emperor left, he deliberately told them to serve them for a long time, but now they have lost people to serve, how can this be good?!
"Minions...... The servant asked the emperor to say goodbye. ”
"Tell me, what's going on?!"
From the trembling state of the little eunuch, Ye Lingxi could see that something must have happened on Chu Yunxi's side.
However, she never expected that Chu Yunxi would leave.
"Back to the emperor, that son, he ...... He's gone! This is the letter that the servant found on the table in his room, and as soon as the servant found it, he hurried over and brought it to the emperor. ”
The little eunuch knelt on the ground, his head bowed and his hands held high, with an envelope in his palm.
Ye Lingxi didn't care about asking his subordinates to bring the letter, but got up and took the letter by himself, and hurriedly opened it and read it.
The more he read, the heavier Ye Lingxi's face became, and the more panicked his heart became.
"How long has it been since you found out he's gone?"
Ye Lingxi lowered his head and asked the little eunuch, who thought for a moment before replying to Ye Lingxi.
"It's been about half an hour."
Listening to the little eunuch's reply, Ye Lingxi suddenly felt dizzy in front of her, and almost couldn't stand on her feet, but fortunately, Murong Cheng'an, who had been following her, helped her in time.
Half an hour......
Ye Lingxi did not restrict Chu Yunxi's freedom, if Chu Yunxi was sincere about leaving, half an hour would be enough for him to run far, and there would be no way to find it......
Murong Chengan had been following Ye Lingxi's side, so he naturally saw the contents of the letter.
This result was actually expected by him.
Because, if he and Chu Yunxi's identities were swapped, he would definitely make the same choice as Chu Yunxi.
Ye Lingxi's mood was visibly low with the naked eye, and the ministers were quite sensible, and they took the initiative to retire.
It wasn't until only Murong Chengan and Ye Lingxi were left in the room that Ye Lingxi finally burst into tears out of control.
Her master, the person who was as beautiful as a fairy descending from the earth, the beautiful man who was dressed in white and was as warm as jade, and the person who did his best to protect her well, now chose to leave voluntarily in order to prevent her from bleeding every day.
Judging from the current situation, Chu Yunxi's departure from Ye Lingxi is completely a general choice of suicide!
"Xi'er...... Don't cry. ”
Although Murong Chengan wanted to comfort Ye Lingxi very much, maybe Chu Yunxi could think of other ways to save himself and prolong his life, but when the words came to his lips, he couldn't say anything.
Because, in this case, Murong Chengan couldn't even convince himself.
Without Ye Lingxi's blood offering every day, unless he found the fruit of the Astounding Divine Tree within a few days, Chu Yunxi was afraid that he would really be more than lucky.
The rival he had always respected, finally withdrew completely in this decisive way.
……
Ling Xi:
If the teacher is gone, you don't have to bother to find it.
Life and death have fate, I have long looked down on life and death, not to mention, I have taught you all the lifelong research of my father-in-law, and now I am leaving, and I am worthy of my father-in-law when I go to the Yellow Spring.
In this world, I miss you the most, and you have found your own happiness and support, so I can rest assured.
Seeing you bleed every day, I really can't bear to be a teacher, you are still pregnant, how can you consume your blood so much.
The only thing I regret is that I can't see your baby born with my own eyes.
As a teacher, in another world, I wish you a happy family life.
See you again in the next life!
Treasure.
Chu Yunxi.
