Chapter 53: Departure to Yuzhou

The streets of Linzhou are sparsely populated, and occasionally a few women lead young children past the stalls on both sides.

It's not as lively as the big city, and the vendors have closed their stalls early, and before night, the streets are deserted.

Mu Yunqi walked to the couch and lay down, thinking that King Qing should not come back so soon, so he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

When she woke up, it was faintly gray outside the window lattice, and she got up and walked to the window to look down.

The faint light illuminates the silence of the street, and the flags on the side of the street flutter in the wind.

King Qing is extraordinary, even if he doesn't see Bai Rong, he should be fine.

She stood quietly by the window, paying attention to the noise in the street.

It wasn't until the sky was already white and the town was lit up that the sound of horses' hooves trampling reached her ears, and the corners of her mouth raised a pleasant smile as she looked to the end of the town's streets.

I saw two men riding on a black horse, and King Qing was riding behind Bai Rong, raising the reins.

If it weren't for the fact that there were no people on the streets in the early morning, they would have become the talk of the people after tea and dinner all the way.

King Qing looked up at the window lattice of the inn and raised a smug smile.

Mu Yunqi smiled at him, looked at him and saw that there was no one following him, and saw that after he stopped the horse, there was no sound of horses' hooves in his ears, so he relieved himself.

She sat on the stool and waited for Bai Rong to come up.

A short time later, there was a sound of footsteps in the hallway outside the door, and she got up to open the door.

Bai Rong was dressed in gray and walked towards her with brisk steps.

"County Lord." He stopped at the door and shouted, looking at her with a smile in his eyes.

Mu Yunqi's eyes suddenly turned red, this was the first time she had seen her old friend since she recovered her memory, how could she not feel it in her heart.

"Come in." She said softly.

Bai Rong entered the room and closed the door with his hand, walked to the table and looked at her.

"Are you alright?" He asked, he had thought about a lot of things on the way, he was sure that Mu Yunqi had remembered the past, but he didn't know where to start at the moment.

"I have remembered the old things of the Jin Palace."

"I know, I know when I see Kong Ming's lantern." He looked at her and said softly.

Mu Yunqi looked up at him and raised his eyes to signal him to sit down.

She gestured to the roof, realizing that there was someone on the eaves.

Bai Rong looked up and nodded.

She approached him, lowered her voice, and said, "Come with me to Yuzhou." ”

"Don't you want them to follow?" Of course he understood the meaning of her words, just like when he was a child, he understood what she wanted with one movement.

Just like right now, she is full of suspicion but doesn't ask anything, and he knows that she is puzzled, but he doesn't say anything.

Mu Yunqi nodded approvingly, it seems that the tacit understanding has not passed with the years.

"I'll write a letter to Lan Gu and send it to the imperial capital." She took the pen, dipped it in the inkstone, and rows of juanxiu small letters appeared on the rice paper.

After writing the letter, she opened the door and called King Qing into the room.

She took out the letter and handed it to King Qing.

When King Qing saw the letter, he jumped back and moved away from her, and said, "Do you want me to deliver the letter again?" ”

Mu Yunqi saw his sad eyes and said with a smile: "No, you can send someone to the imperial capital casually." ”

Hearing her say this, he relieved himself and approached her to take the letter.

Then Mu Yunqi took the pen again, leaned over and wrote down an address and handed it to him.

That address was the house that Lan Gu bought outside the palace after she married into the East Palace, and at that time she was actually preparing to escape from the hiding place behind the palace, but she didn't expect to meet someone from Haoyue Palace.

Thinking of Haoyue Palace, she thought of Nangong He, and her heart couldn't help but tingle for a while.

She looked at Bai Rong and said, "You suddenly disappeared, can the third brother be suspicious?" ”

"No, the general knows that I often collect medicine in the mountains, and now it is spring, which is the season for herbs to grow and flourish, and he will not notice me." Bai Rong said with a smile.

Mu Yunqi nodded slightly, and said, "You rest until the evening, and we will set off for Yuzhou." ”

"Why the night?" King Qing frowned and asked why his actions were always at night now.

Mu Yunqi smiled and didn't speak, his heart is not to get rid of you.

"Let's go." She shoved King Qing out of the house.

Bai Rong also walked to the door of the room, met her gaze, and then chuckled into another guest room.

That night, everything was ready, and the three of them set off from Linzhou on horseback.

When Mu Yunqi saw Yuzhou in front of her, she couldn't tell how she felt in her heart.

The bright moon seems to carry a cold light, reflecting the collapsed houses hideously and terrifyingly, and the broken walls can be seen everywhere. The wide avenue she remembered was now overgrown with weeds, and in the middle of the road were fallen trees.

The breeze blows in this cold and deep city, which makes people feel creepy.

"You're bold, if you change to a woman, you'll definitely faint with fright." King Qing said beside her, although his tone was relaxed, his expression was vigilant, looking around, and following Mu Yunqi's footsteps forward.

As he walked, his body suddenly couldn't move and froze in place. Unable to speak or exert force, only a pair of eyeballs swirling in their sockets.

Mu Yunqi approached him with a torch and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, ninth brother." As soon as the morning dawns, the soul fixing on your body will lose its medicinal power, and I will come back in about a day or two, you can wait for me here, or you can go back to the inn first. Because you are Gu Hanxuan's person, there are many things that are inconvenient for you to know. ”

King Qing looked at her with round eyes, and spoke forcefully but to no avail. He complained bitterly in his heart, the fifth brother obviously sent an ancestor to serve him, not only did he not regard himself as a prince or brother, but he even used the drug on himself.

He wailed in his heart, remembering the words he had promised to the fifth brother at the gate of the city where the border and the imperial capital were separated.

Brother Huang rest assured, I am by my side to protect my sister-in-law, no matter what accident I have, I will suffer from it, and I will suffer from it, and when I send my sister-in-law back to you, I will keep her unscathed.

Now he is full of bitterness, but he can't tell it, his imperial sister-in-law has never even cared about the feelings of the imperial brother, let alone herself.

Seeing the figures of the two disappear into his eyes, his heart was so anxious that he could only watch in place and be helpless.

Bai Rong led Mu Yunqi to quickly find the ruins of the Jin Palace, although Yuzhou was already a dilapidated lonely city, but he still came here once a year, so he could easily find this place in the dark night.

Mu Yun stood outside this black and scorched ruins, with mixed feelings in his heart and thousands of thoughts flowing.

"At the beginning, Brother Liu Xun and I found the body of the prince in the ruins, but we did not find the body of the princess."

Mu Yunqi looked at him sharply, "You said you didn't find your mother's body?" ”

"The entire burned Jin Palace's mansion has been searched, and even the accessories on the princess have not been found." Bai Rong replied.

"Did Mother really go back to her world, as she said?" She muttered, her eyes fixed on a fallen beam.

Bai Rong looked at her in the moonlight and was stunned, and opened her lips and said, "Go to the prince's tomb first?" ”

Mu Yunqi slowly raised his eyes to look at him, and said in a mournful tone: "Let's go." ”

She secretly prayed in her heart that her mother would really come back to her future.
