Zhao Yuanting stopped and looked at Xia Muyao, as if in a dream. The beloved he thought about in his twilight turned a thousand times, and finally returned to his side.

This time, he wouldn't let her leave his side again no matter what.

Xia Muyao listened carefully, heard the voice of someone approaching her, and before she could think about who the other party was, her blindfold was removed, and when she saw that the person in front of her was Zhao Yuanting, her eyes became cold.

Zhao Yuanting also took away the strip of cloth that blocked Xia Muyao's mouth, and then looked at her quietly, waiting for her to speak to him.

But Xia Muyao just looked at him coldly, but didn't say anything.

Zhao Yuanting was a little uncomfortable, Xia Muyao's eyes were completely cold and hateful, and he had long since lost his former calmness. Even if it's indifference. But her eyes only made it clear to him that she hated him.

Zhao Yuanting felt a pain in his heart. Without saying anything, she picked up Xia Muyao and walked towards her old bedroom.

"Zhao Yuanting, you let me down." After walking for a while, Xia Muyao finally spoke.

"Heshuo, your childhood dormitory has been packed up, just waiting for you to move in." Zhao Yuanting said to himself.

"Zhao Yuanting, if you arrest me back to the palace like this, I will hate you." Xia Muyao was still cold.

"Hate it, you've always hated me anyway, I'm used to it." Zhao Yuanting was unmoved, and his steps were firm.

Passing by the palace guards, palace people, and palace maids, they all bowed their heads and saluted, and then when Zhao Yuanting walked by, they dared to raise their heads and look at their backs.

Soon, a thoughtful palace maid spread the news to Zhang Yaxian's ears.

"Queen, just now the slave maid saw the emperor coming from the imperial study with a woman in his arms." The palace maid entered Zhang Yaxian's Fengyi Palace, hurriedly knocked down to say hello, and then reported softly.

In September, the imperial city was still sweltering, Zhang Yaxian was resting in the palace with her eyes closed, and when she heard the news from the palace maid, she couldn't help frowning, and asked slowly: "Do you know where the woman came from?" ”

"Back to the queen, the slave doesn't know." The palace maid bowed her head and replied.

"Where did the emperor take her?" Zhang Yaxian still closed her eyes and asked lazily. Since she became a queen, she has already adopted a laissez-faire attitude towards Zhao Yuanting's pampering of women.

"I went to Si Yao Palace." The palace maid replied truthfully.

The three words of Si Yao Palace made Zhang Yaxian open her eyes suddenly, and then sat up suddenly.

"Si Yao Palace?" Zhang Yaxian's brows furrowed, how important Si Yao Palace was to Zhao Yuanting, she naturally knew that now he would take someone to Si Yao Palace, that must be someone who attaches great importance to it.

In Su Ri, Zhao Yuanting pampered those concubines, but it was just to relieve his **, he never took them to heart, so Zhang Yaxian never felt threatened, but this time it was different, Zhao Yuanting could take her to Siyao Palace, which shows how much Zhao Yuanting attaches importance to her. In the harem, Zhang Yaxian will never allow such an existence.

"Go and ask the palace maids of Siyao Palace to pay close attention to their movements, after the emperor and her every move will come back to report to the queen, there will be a lot of rewards for the queen." Zhang Yaxian whispered to the palace maid.

"The slave waits for the queen's orders." The palace maid replied softly, and left Fengyi Palace.

In Si Yao Palace, Zhao Yuanting had already untied the rope on Xia Muyao's body, put her in the palace courtyard, and watched her look around at this familiar place.

Siyao Palace, formerly known as Juyao Palace, was the name given by Xia Muyao's father to show his treatment of Xia Muyao. After Zhao Yuanting took over the palace, he changed the word "residence" to the word "thought" to express his longing for Xia Muyao.

In Si Yao Palace, the grass and trees are lush, the trees are forested, it is still the same as it was back then, how many times, Xia Muyao has played a swing under the tree, how many times, she has lingered among the flowers, she spent her lonely and safe youth in this palace, here is really too kind to her, but in this kindness is full of too many memories of swords and blood.

Xia Muyao slowly walked through every corner of the palace courtyard, as if she had passed through the whistling time and touched the traces of the old times.

Zhao Yuanting stood with his hands in his hands, quietly looking at Xia Muyao who was trapped in his memories, the person he had been thinking about for a long time was in front of him, and he only felt that this moment was the most perfect.

"Are you going to imprison me here when you take me back?" After taking a turn in the palace courtyard, Xia Muyao turned around and asked slowly.

"How can it be said that it is captivity? You've been living here all along, aren't you tired of birds coming home? Zhao Yuanting walked to Xia Muyao's side and stretched out his hand, wanting to comb Xia Muyao's scattered hair.

Xia Muyao took a step back and dodged Zhao Yuanting's hand. Zhao Yuanting's hand stopped in mid-air lonely, and he couldn't help but sigh secretly.

"You should know that I got married in Beihu and gave birth to a child, I love Huerhe, and I will not change in this life." Xia Muyao stared at Zhao Yuanting and said lightly.

"It's okay, as long as you are by my side, I never expected you to return to me willingly." Having said that, but hearing Xia Muyao say in front of him that she loved Huerhe, Zhao Yuanting's heart felt as if someone had stabbed him.

Heshuo had been with him for three years and only for a year by Huerhe's side, but she said she loved Huerhe.

"So, you're not going to let me go?" Xia Muyao glanced at Zhao Yuanting.

Zhao Yuanting smiled faintly, which was a response.

"Then, you will order the war to stop, Dakang has changed three emperors in three years, and the people are already panicking, if you fight for many years, it will only make the people lose trust in you." Xia Muyao said lightly.

"You're worried about Huerkh, aren't you?" Zhao Yuanting smiled sadly.

"He is my husband, and I naturally think about him." Xia Muyao slowly walked to the bottom of the porch, sat down on the railing, and said calmly.

Since Xia Muyao opened her mouth, every word was really cutting Zhao Yuanting's heart, Zhao Yuanting gritted his teeth and said to Xia Muyao: "You are also tired this way, I ordered someone to serve you and rest, and I will come to see you when I am free." ”

After finishing speaking, Zhao Yuanting glanced at Xia Muyao deeply, and then turned to leave.

Xia Muyao leaned on the railing, as if she hadn't heard Zhao Yuanting's words, she sat in a daze, her heart only felt that she was sinking to the bottom of the deep sea, she couldn't see the bright light, she was imprisoned in the palace, she couldn't escape, if Zhao Yuanting didn't let her go, I'm afraid she would stay in this palace until she died, right?

Thinking that she would never see Huerhe again, and her lovely little son, Xia Muyao closed her eyes, and a deep pain that was worse than death hit her heart.

Xia Muyao sat under the corridor for a long time, and the palace maid prepared the bathing water, reminded her a few times, and saw that she still didn't move, and there was no way, so she had to warm up the bathing water again and again.

Xia Muyao sat until dusk, then got up to take a bath, and then changed into new clothes. When she came out, the palace maid had already prepared dinner, although Xia Muyao had no appetite, she was hungry, thinking that she was going to stay in this palace for a long time, and it was not a way to eat or drink.

After dinner, Xia Muyao was still standing under the porch, numb.

I don't know how long it took, the voice of the guards outside the door to meet Zhao Yuanting was heard, and the palace people and palace maids of Siyao Palace hurriedly went out to meet Zhao Yuanting.

Xia Muyao sat still, until Zhao Yuanting walked up to her, she still didn't seem to see it.

Zhao Yuanting didn't speak, and stood aside and looked at Xia Muyao.

"I don't know what Huerkh is doing at the moment? The battlefield is hard, and he should have lost a lot of weight in the past few months. Suddenly, Xia Muyao muttered to herself.

Zhao Yuanting gritted his teeth and bent down, "Heshuo, it is me who is in front of you at this moment, and you are not allowed to mention him again." ”

Xia Muyao sneered lightly, stopped speaking, raised her little face, and quietly stared at the crescent moon that climbed up from the sky.

The two stayed under the porch in silence for a long time, until late at night, Xia Muyao was tired, then got up and went back to the bedroom, everything was the same as four years ago, even the bed curtain was the original moon-white curtain, Xia Muyao lay down gently, after more than four years of wandering, she never thought that there would be a day when she would return to the palace.

Zhao Yuanting followed, sat on the edge of the bed, looked at Xia Muyao who closed his eyes, and finally couldn't hold it back, leaning over to kiss Xia Muyao's lips.

"Zhao Yuanting, I can be imprisoned by you, but if you have any thoughts, I will not live." Feeling the aura shrouded by Zhao Yuanting, Xia Muyao did not open her eyes, and said in an indifferent but firm tone.

Zhao Yuanting froze there, Xia Muyao was close at hand, but he couldn't touch it, he knew that she had a vicious temperament, and she would definitely be able to do what she said, he finally brought her back to his side, in case she provoked her to find a short sight, it would really be worth the loss. Anyway, there is time in the future, and he is not in a hurry.
