In the blink of an eye, Murong Zhining stayed in Chongde County for five months, during which Qiyun Yuexuan never came. The deputy general still came over on time to take a look, and sent two silver taels to Luo Siyao to arrange for the food and clothing of the group.

On this day, the three of them were happily strolling around the market again, and Cai Sang bought a large handful of lilies and held them in his arms, ready to take them back and put them in Murong Zhining's room. She smiled brightly: "That beast should never bother us, maybe after a while, we will be able to return to Beijing." ”

Murong Zhining gently shook the fan embroidered with magnolia flowers in her hand: "You can go whenever you want, I don't want to think about it." I can only stay here as a hostage, maybe for the rest of my life. Cai Sang smiled sweetly at her: "Where you are, Yaoyao and I will follow you wherever you are." Luo Siyao nodded happily: "Hmm." "Luo Siyao followed Murong Zhining, which was much easier than being a slave in the army.

Murong Zhining wore a pink soft satin narrow-sleeved short coat, a skirt of the same color, and a sleeveless small back of pink transparent silk yarn on the outside, which was tied to her waist with a plain satin. She was holding a small fan in her hand, and she attracted countless envious glances when she walked on the street. This dress was made by Cai Sang and Luo Siyao for her to choose materials for her in the sewing shop, she thought the color was too pretty and refused to wear it, and Cai Sang finally persuaded her to wear it. Murong Zhi stubbornly felt that the clothes were too bright, and refused to bring jewelry, so she only tied a bun on her head with a pink ribbon at will, and two ribbons floated neatly behind her. The original ordinary outfit made her look like a woman who had come out of the painting.

Luo Siyao stopped and asked curiously: "Why didn't you see the person who was following us?" Cai Sang touched the back of his head: "It seems that yes, no one has followed us for a long time." ”

Murong Zhining stared at the guqin in the shop on the street: "Who has so much spare time to follow the three minions all day long?" Cai Sang stared at the stall on the street: "Zhining, you are not a minion, you look like a princess." Murong Zhining smiled bitterly: "Where is there a princess like me who has fallen so far?" Cai Sang saw that there were sugar gourds selling on the street, clamoring to eat, although she was older than Murong Zhining, she was still like a child. Luo Siyao couldn't stand her soft grinding and hard foaming, and wanted to buy a bunch to send her away. Cai Sang chased after him: "What's the point of eating alone? You accompany me, one person and one string." ”

The three of them happily ate the sugar gourd and walked back, when someone came over on horseback, and the crowd lowered their heads and retreated to the side. The three girls did not pay attention to the person on the horse, and continued to walk forward with a smile and a smile. Seeing that the man had no intention of letting them pass, Caisang raised his head and tried to blast the rider away.

Luo Siyao was the first to react and gave a big salute to the person on the horse. Murong Zhining hurriedly raised her head and saw a handsome face as cold as ice. The pair of peach blossom eyes on his face, although they did not have the same sharp color as before, there was still no trace of temperature.

Qi Yun Yuexuan rode on a horse and was condescending, exuding his own unique aura on his body, which made people dare not look directly: "It seems that this day is quite moist!" His cold voice seemed to come from the ice cellar, making people feel cold in their hearts. "The emperor issued a holy decree and ordered me to escort Murong Zhining back to Shangjing. Hurry back and pack your things and set off immediately. "He was never negotiable.

Cai Sang was secretly happy in her heart, but Murong Zhining was very worried, she faintly felt like something big was about to happen.

There was a carriage at the entrance of the courtyard, which was larger and more comfortable than the one they had sat in. Cai Sang asked, "Does General Qiyun know what the emperor is doing when he summons Zhining back?" Qiyun Yuexuan coldly reprimanded, "This is not what a slave like you should ask. ”

The three girls sat in the carriage back to Beijing, and Cai Sang sighed at the changes in the world: "I didn't expect that we would be able to return to Beijing so soon, I knew that the emperor would not forget Zhi Ning, and Zhi Ning would definitely be canonized as a princess when she went back this time." ”

Murong Zhining shook her head: "Caisang, your shortcoming is that your brain doesn't like to think very much. If the emperor was reluctant, he would have prevented me from going south with the army in the first place. Besides, I am nominally the concubine of Qi Yun Yuexuan, he just wants to canonize me, and it is not in accordance with the rules, and things are not as simple as you think. ”

Qi Yun Yuexuan rode on his horse restlessly, and the holy decree to escort Murong Zhining back to Shangjing was already the second order sent by Yan Feng. The first decree he directly resisted. He was worried that Yan Feng was still thinking about Murong Zhining, so everything he had done was in vain. The second holy decree sent by Yan Feng was irresistible, and only said that Murong Zhining must be escorted back to Shangjing safely, and those who resist the decree will be killed. Yan Feng had never been so cruel to him, he knew this, and he faintly felt that things were not simple.

When camping at night, Qi Yun Yuexuan cautiously checked the terrain many times before ordering to settle down, and he sent additional guards to guard outside Murong Zhining's tent. He knew very well that Yan Feng's holy decree must ensure that Murong Zhining returned to Shangjing unscathed, and he didn't dare to be careless about the weight of that sentence.

At night, Cai Sang and Luo Siyao accompanied Murong Zhining to sit in the tent and talk, Qi Yun Yuexuan opened the door of the tent alone and walked in, he ordered Cai Sang and Luo Siyao to wait outside the tent, he had something to say to Murong Zhining. Cai Sang was afraid that she would hurt Murong Zhining, so he refused to go out. Qi Yun Yuexuan roared angrily: "I won't do anything to her, go out." Cai Sang glanced at Murong Zhining helplessly and withdrew from the tent.

Murong Zhining didn't salute to Yuexuan, she sat on the spot and looked up at him, like a proud princess, waiting for her courtiers to worship her.

Qi Yun Yuexuan was as indifferent as ever: "No matter what the emperor recruited you to Beijing for this time, you have to remember what your identity is, if you make me lose my dignity, I will ask you back tenfold." Murong Zhining was very calm: "I understand what the general meant." Even if I hadn't experienced these things, I wouldn't have stayed with the emperor, and even less now. After returning to Beijing this time, we are two people who have nothing to do with each other. I only hope that in this life, I will not meet you in the mountains and rivers. Qi Yun Yuexuan didn't speak, and turned around indifferently and walked out of the big tent.

The carriage stopped and went, getting closer and closer to Shangjing, and along the way, Qi Yun Yuexuan did not feel sorry for Murong Zhining anymore.

Luo Siyao sat in the carriage thinking about her own thoughts, she asked, "I don't know if Zhi Ning will come out after entering the palace this time?" Will I follow you or go back with the general in the future?" Cai Sang glanced at her: "Then who do you want to follow?" Luo Siyao was silent for a while, with a look of embarrassment on her face: "The general is kind to me, but I am reluctant to let Zhi Ning and you." Murong Zhining grabbed her hand: "You have the right to decide where you go, it's not clear whether Cai Sang and I will go or stay, you still have time to think about it." ”

This time on the return trip, because there was no delay on the road, and they were all escorted by cavalry, they arrived in Shangjing after more than ten days. Cai Sang lifted the curtain of the carriage, looked at the familiar outline of the city wall, and shed tears of excitement: "I thought we would never be able to go back to Shangjing again. ”

This return to Beijing is a temporary task, and there is no honor guard like the last time Qi Yun Jun returned to the city, but there are still many ordinary people who salute Qi Yun Yuexuan respectfully on the side of the road. There were a few eunuchs and palace maids waiting there at the gate of the palace early, and Qi Yun Yuexuan handed over Murong Zhining to them, and went to Yan Feng to return his life. He was also anxious to know Yan Feng's intention to summon Murong Zhining back to Beijing this time.

Yan Feng summoned Qi Yun Yuexuan in the imperial study, and after seeing the ceremony, Yan Feng did not let him sit down, and the atmosphere was a little awkward. He was obviously still angry with Yun Yuexuan, and he spoke with anger.

Yan Feng pinned his face to the side: "I didn't expect that you would ignore the friendship between us and insist on snatching Miss Murong away from me. If you treat her well, I have nothing to say. My herald has reported you to me, and I don't understand how you can bear to be so cruel to a woman?"

Qi Yun Yuexuan's face was unashamed: "The emperor summoned her back to Beijing this time, did he want to reconcile with her? Isn't the emperor humiliating the last general?"
