Chapter 408: A Year of Defense
Bai Wei finally rushed to the burial of Concubine He, all of which was actually calculated by him.
After Concubine He was recruited, he went to Nanzhang, so that people could not suspect him. By the time Concubine He was seriously ill, he was already far away in the Nanzhang Royal City. Even if Xiao Chuhan remembered to ask him to come back to save his life, it was too late in time.
Bai Wei's identity is respected, he just went to the spirit to pay a stick of incense, and was let by Xiao Chuhan to serve tea in the side hall.
Xiao Chuhan's spirit is fine, but he is a little haggard. He apologized to Bai Wei and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for coming over to save my mother, just to make you run away in vain, and my mother didn't wait for you to come." ”
Bai Wei also sighed and said: "I really didn't expect that she was fine the last time I saw the concubine, but who knew that such a misfortune happened after I left for a few days." Knowing this, I stayed in Xiliang for a few more days. ”
How did Xiao Chuhan know that he was just acting coy there, he just sighed and said, "It's my mother and concubine Fubo, no wonder Your Majesty." Your Majesty is tired from coming all the way, so I will send you back to rest and live in the courtyard last time. ”
Bai Wei nodded, and comforted him warmly: "Prince Xiao mourns, and state affairs are important. The king heard that the concubine was seriously ill, so he left his entourage behind in order to hurry, and it was estimated that it would take two more days to arrive. I'll be here for a few days, and when they come, I'll return to the City of the God King." ”
Although Xiao Chuhan didn't have much energy, he still subconsciously paid attention to the movements of the God King. Hearing that he was going back to the Divine King City, he hurriedly asked, "Did Your Majesty's trip to Nanzhang go well?" If you delay your business for my sake, it will make my heart troubled. ”
"It doesn't matter. I've seen everything I should see, and I won't delay anything. Bai Wei smiled slightly, got up and said, "The prince is busy, so I won't bother here." ”
Although Bai Wei was polite, Xiao Chuhan still put down what he was doing and sent him back. The two seemed to be chatting unintentionally along the way, but they were actually testing each other.
It's a pity that these two people are both thoughtful people, and they talk to each other without leaking, and no one has found out anyone's details.
Sending Bai Wei back to the courtyard where he originally lived, Xiao Chuhan called Daxizi to arrange for someone to serve, and he sued himself and left first.
The White Tare rewarded his subordinates very casually, and then closed the door and stayed in the house, and did not come out again until the evening.
In the evening, Yun Yao returned to Xiliang and went to the temple of the soul to pay respects. After Xiao Chuhan returned the salute on the side, he took Yun Yao aside and said, "Yun'er, I've worked hard for you these past few days. ”
"It's okay, I'm not working hard at all. It's just that I don't understand anything, I don't know how to help you. Yun Yao looked at Xiao Chuhan's emaciated cheeks, a little distressed.
Yun Yao didn't understand the customs of the Great Wilderness, and he didn't know that he wanted to keep the system for Concubine He, Xiao Chuhan endured it for a few days, and he didn't know if he should say it now.
As soon as he hesitated, his face revealed.
Yun Yao cared about him, and immediately saw the abnormality, and asked cautiously, "Do you have something to say to me?" Or do you need me to do something for you? ”
Xiao Chuhan bit his lip, not knowing if he could say it.
Originally, he had more thoughts than ordinary people, and it was inevitable that he would think too much and be unable to make a decision, and when it came to his marriage to Yun Yao, he didn't know what to say.
Yun Yao only thought that he was worried about Concubine He's funeral, so she leaned on his shoulder and comforted him softly: "Don't be too sad, Niangniang, she just went to heaven, she is such a good person, she will not suffer anywhere." Take care of your body, Xiliang still has a lot of things waiting for you to do. And with me, many things on my side cannot be separated from you. ”
The more gentle Yun Yao was, the more Xiao Chuhan felt sorry for her, and finally couldn't help but hold her hands and said guiltily: "Yun'er, I'm sorry, I'm afraid I won't be able to marry you." ”
"What? Can't get married? Why? Yun Yao was taken aback by his words, and immediately asked anxiously one after another.
Xiao Chuhan saw that she was in a hurry, so he discovered the ambiguity in his words, and hurriedly explained: "No, it's not that I can't marry you, it's that I can't marry within a year." ”
He explained the customs of the Great Wilderness to Yun Yao in detail, and Yun Yao understood what he meant.
"I'm still a prince, I don't know how to say it clearly, I almost scared me to death!" Yun Yao glared at him with disgust and said, "Since you have such a rule here, then we still have to abide by it." Although there are no explicit regulations in our modern times, ordinary people will pay attention to it at home, and they will not do happy events just after the death of their loved ones. ”
Xiao Chuhan was overjoyed, and his heart, which had been suppressed for many days, was relieved. "Really? You don't blame me? ”
"It was an accident, why do I blame you?" Yun Yao glared at him helplessly, looking at his cautious and pitiful appearance, she still couldn't bear to blame.
"Your mother hasn't been buried yet, so let's not talk about that. It will take half a year for the house to be renovated over there, plus some miscellaneous preparations, and the time will be about the same if I get married next year, so it won't be too long. ”
After listening to Yun Yao's words, Xiao Chuhan really let go of his thoughts. Originally, when the two first met, Yun Yao always liked to play petty and had a lot of awkwardness with him, but he didn't expect that he would be so knowledgeable and willing to think about him now.
In fact, although these two people have already decided to be married, they don't know each other very well.
Women always like to show their little temper before marriage, but after marriage, most of them become good wives and mothers. Men, on the other hand, are accustomed to embellishing themselves a lot before marriage and showing them in the most glamorous appearance, but most of them show their true colors after marriage.
Since establishing a relationship with Xiao Chuhan, Yun Yao has put her whole mind on him. Because of the previous misunderstanding, Xiao Chuhan suffered a lot, and she even deliberately accommodated him recently. It's just that she got married so many months later, how could she be angry with him for such a trivial matter?
There was no misunderstanding between the two, and they were willing to understand each other, so the matter of postponing the wedding was decided so easily.
Yun Yao is only in her early twenties, and her family will not urge her, just this year she can devote herself to it and help Xueyin fulfill her wish.
Bai Wei stayed in Xiliang to wait for his entourage, and then put down his body to attend Concubine He's funeral. When all the dust settled, he went to bid farewell to Xiao Chuhan.
Xiao Chuhan was very reluctant to go, and after preparing a generous gift, he sent a team of cavalry to escort Bai Wei back to the God King City.
Bai Wei came and went in a hurry this time, although he didn't have time to save Concubine He, but Xiao Chuhan could be regarded as having accepted his favor. This favor will be repaid in the future.
Bai Wei sat in the carriage and drove out of the Xiliang King City, and when he was far away, he opened the curtain and raised his eyebrows and smiled at the city gate behind him.
Yan Ji is still a little useful, so it is easy to buy him a year.
"Yao'er, with your ability, a year should be enough, right? I hope Xiao Chuhan is sensible and doesn't touch you, otherwise ......" Bai Wei let out a sneer, but his eyes became more and more cold.
The Nightmare's purpose was accomplished. Because of his manipulation, the two who were originally married next month forcibly postponed the marriage for a year. He felt comfortable, but he didn't show it at all. In order not to arouse the suspicion of others, he didn't even take the initiative to see Yun Yao, and only comforted Concubine He politely when he met her at the funeral.
Everything in Xiliang has returned to normal, and the only change is that there is no Concubine He in the harem.
Xiao Guangyao meditated day and night on the empty palace, people were much older all of a sudden, and they no longer had the heart to care about the affairs of the previous dynasty.
Originally, Xiao Chuhan could still throw the government to his father for something, and ran out to experience the people's feelings, but now that the old prince has picked his son, he is like he has been tied hand and foot, and he can't leave anymore.
Time waits for no one, Yun Yao's company is ready, just waiting to go to Dongze and Beihuang for research. However, Xiao Chuhan couldn't leave, but Yun Yao couldn't wait any longer for Xueyin.
That night, the two sat in Yun Yao's county lord's mansion and began to discuss this matter solemnly.
It was Yun Yao who opened her mouth first. "Cold, I have to go. Spring ploughing will begin soon, and I can't delay it. ”
Xiao Chuhan had already thought about this issue, but Yun Yao didn't say it, so he kept dragging it out and refused to mention it. Now that Yun Yao took the initiative to mention it, he had to say apologetically: "Yun'er, I'm afraid I can't accompany you." ”
Yun Yao could think about it. She comes from a modern day and does not have the habit of relying on men for everything. She waved her hand very casually and said, "It's okay, Xueyin is with me." Anyway, I've worked so hard for her, and she definitely can't hide and be lazy by herself, so that I, the master, rush to the front. ”
Xiao Chuhan was secretly weak-hearted, but it was not easy to show it. The matter of Yun Yao going to Dongze and Beihuang is said to be for Xueyin, but in fact, it is more important and important to him.
The mana of the White Nightmare is powerful and mysterious, and it is not something that ordinary people like them can compete with. Of the people he knew now, apart from Xueyin, there was no second person who could help him against the God King.
The new god king is unpredictable, and he can't figure out the rules when he does things, so people don't know how to deal with it. Xiao Chuhan has always been accustomed to taking things into his own hands, how could he allow such a big threat to exist and grow?
In order to protect himself, he had to rely on the power of Yun Yao and Xue Yin, but he was worried about Yun Yao's safety.
It is difficult to have both worlds, for the sake of the country and the people, he has to let the people he loves the most go out on adventures. Every time he thought about what might happen to her outside, Xiao Chuhan felt a pain in his heart.
He pondered carefully for a long time, then took Yun Yao's hand and said, "I will send the most elite escort team to protect you, and you yourself must be careful, no matter what you do, you must first ensure your own safety." If something happens, you must run away as soon as possible, and then come to me. ”
Yun Yao was a little unimpressed by his solemn attitude, but knew that he also had good intentions, all because he was worried about himself, so he nodded with a smile: "Okay, I know." ”
"Okay, I've already arranged the escort team, let Ling Bo lead the team, you can set off after you get ready." After Xiao Chuhan finished speaking, looking at Yun Yao's bright but strong little face, he suddenly felt a sense of distress, and couldn't help but take her into his arms and hug her tightly to his chest.
