Chapter 7: Confessing a lie
And at this moment, in a small inn in the suburbs, Ling Yuwei was also not sleepy, her heart was very painful, and she couldn't suppress the pain.
After a day and a night's journey, now that they had left Nanling Kingdom, Yan Zimo was worried that she was too tired, so she decided to rest for a few hours before continuing to hurry.
Seeing the moon outside the window so round and bright, this should be a day of reunion, but the distance between her and Nangong Yi is getting farther and farther away.
Today was originally the day she had been looking forward to, because today was the wedding day of her and Nangong Yi, and tonight should be the night of candles in their cave room, but now they are separated, and all this is caused by her own hands.
In the dead of night like this, she couldn't do nothing without thinking about it, her heart was crazy about Nangong Yi, recalling the good memories with him.
She didn't dare to think about it, how Nangong Yi would react after knowing her leaving, he must be very sad, right?
The man who loved her deeply, and she loved deeply, was still bruised all over her body by her after all.
This is not the first time to leave like this, and she has promised him that she will never leave him again, but in the end she still didn't do it.
Although her heart hurt beyond the reach of such a decision, she still had to do it.
Maybe everything is already predestined, destined for her and him to be inseparable, they are destined to meet across thousands of years, but they have no part to stay together for a lifetime.
Now she only hopes that time can soothe his heartache, and hopes that he can completely forget himself and find his happiness again.
And all the good memories she had with him should be regarded as a sweet dream, since it is a dream, there will always be a moment to wake up.
No matter how nostalgic you feel after waking up, it's just a dream after all, and you can't go back and can't catch it......
The next day, before dawn, Nangong Yi entered the palace early, he had to meet the emperor before the early dynasty, explain everything to him, I hope he doesn't blame himself for his helpless lies yesterday, and I hope he doesn't blame Ling Yuwei.
"Yi'er, why are you here so early?" The emperor, who had just changed his clothes, was very surprised to see Nangong Yi, it was not yet the time of the early dynasty, why did he appear here?
"Father, my son has something to say to you." Nangong Yi glanced at the queen who was changing clothes for the emperor, and said to the emperor in a deep voice.
"Yi'er, what the hell is going on? Is Wei'er's condition getting worse? The emperor asked with some concern, he had never suspected that what Nangong Yi said yesterday would be false, so he always thought that Ling Yuwei was really sick.
"Father, I'm sorry, my son lied to you yesterday, please punish my father." Nangong Yi suddenly knelt on the ground, after all, he did something wrong, so he had to ask his father for his guilt.
"Yi'er, get up and talk quickly." The emperor quickly helped Nangong Yi up, and he was even more puzzled in his heart, what would make Nangong Yi give such a big gift to himself? And what is the lie he told himself?
"Father, Wei'er is not sick, but missing, and Erchen has to tell yesterday's lie in order to take care of the overall situation." Nangong Yi did not get up, but said to the emperor helplessly.
"What? Is Vile missing? What's going on here? The emperor's face changed a little, and he didn't understand what Nangong Yi was talking about.
"Erchen doesn't know what's going on, but Erchen has already sent people around to look for it." A trace of sadness flashed in Nangong Yi's eyes, if only he could know why his Wei'er left.
"What did the prime minister say about this? Shouldn't he give everyone an explanation? Although the emperor didn't know what was going on, he couldn't help but be a little angry.
"Your Majesty, in fact, the prime minister reported this matter to the concubine yesterday, and the concubine didn't want the emperor to worry, so she didn't tell you." Seeing that the emperor was angry, the queen also stood up and spoke, no matter what, she couldn't let Zhao Jingyi's family have anything to do.
"Queen, why didn't you tell me about such a big matter?" Although the emperor dotes on the queen very much, he still can't help but say with some blame.
"Father, you can't blame the queen mother for this matter, it's the son who begged the mother not to tell the father first." Nangong Yi didn't want the queen to be blamed for helping herself, so she took all the responsibility on herself.
"Alas, everything has already happened, what's the use of blaming? The most important thing now is to get Vile back and figure out what the hell is going on. "The queen is the emperor's favorite concubine, and Nangong Yi is the emperor's favorite son, and he doesn't want to embarrass them.
"Father, don't worry, the sons will definitely get Wei'er back." Nangong Yi had already made up his mind that even if he found the ends of the earth, he would find Ling Yuwei back.
"Yi'er, get up, I've wronged you." The emperor looked at Nangong Yi with no blame in his eyes, but was distressed, he originally thought that marrying Ling Yuwei to him would bring him happiness, but he didn't expect the result to be like this.
"Father, my son has another request, I hope my father can agree." Nangong Yi did not get up, but continued to speak earnestly.
"Say it." The emperor didn't know what Nangong Yi was going to say, but as long as he could do it, he would agree, after all, he was his most distressed son, how could he bear to see him sad?
"The son begs his father not to blame the prime minister's family for this matter." Nangong Yi is still most worried about this problem now, after all, they are all Ling Yuwei's closest people, and he doesn't want to see them have an accident.
"Yi'er, don't worry, as long as you get Wei'er back, my father will no longer pursue this matter." The emperor knew that the sisterhood between the queen and Zhao Jingyi had always been very deep, and he didn't want her to embarrass her, so he decided not to pursue the matter anymore.
"Thank you, father." Nangong Yi didn't expect the emperor to agree to everything so easily, and his heart was full of gratitude to him.
"Vier's disappearance can only continue to be hidden, don't let others see our royal jokes." No matter what reason Ling Yuwei ran away from marriage, it was not a glorious thing, especially if she disappeared on the day of the wedding, where did this put the royal family's face?
"Erchen understands." Nangong Yi also knew that this matter could not be known to others, so he told yesterday's lie.
"The time of the early dynasty is almost up, Yi'er, you don't have to go, you can go to Wei'er with peace of mind." The emperor also understood Nangong Yi's mood at the moment, so he gave him such an amnesty.
"By the way, as for the search for the prince of Beiyun Kingdom, you don't have to worry about it for the time being, everything will wait until you find Wei'er." The emperor didn't want to put too much pressure on Nangong Yi, so he even pressed down on this important matter.
"Father, son, ......" Seeing that the emperor was thinking about himself everywhere, Nangong Yi's heart was very moved, and he wanted to say some words of gratitude but didn't know how to say it.
"Okay, don't say anything, go about your business." After the emperor finished speaking, he went to the early court.
And Nangong Yi also left the palace quickly, he wanted to return to King Yi's mansion as soon as possible to see if they had found Ling Yuwei's whereabouts.
