Chapter Twenty-Six: Just an Empty City
I didn't sleep all night, her dark circles were so deep that they were almost comparable to those of giant pandas, fortunately, there was also Liuli, after putting on two layers of fat powder, she could barely see the traces of dark circles, and as a result, when braiding her hair bun, she was so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes.
"Why did you go back to the palace so early today? Your Majesty didn't rush you. ā
Liuli put a golden agate tassel hairpin on her, and the thirteen-year-old Chang Yuanli's face had not yet fully grown, just like the immature version of the female version of Lu Muchen.
"Do a big thing, has the carriage arrived?"
"Master Si is already waiting outside." She put on the last of her outer robes and hurried out.
Si Nanxing is wearing an aqua blue Luo Yunjin today, no different from the son of the family, and his long silver hair is also half scattered and hanging down his shoulders, if it is a woman, which man can hold it?
On the carriage, the bumpy distance made her sleepy, Si Nanxing saw Chang Yuanli's desire to sleep, so he sat next to her, she also naturally leaned on his shoulder, the fragrance of the two layers of fat powder wafted over, smelling Si Nanxing had some urge to vomit, and secretly decided to buy some non-flavorful fat powder in the future.
- Inside the upper study.
The air pressure was very depressing, Chang Yue had not taken off his dragon robe before he could take off his dragon robe, and Jiang Chuanmo's official uniform was arrested before he could change it, at this time, Song Wanqing and Song Changshu kept begging for mercy with their heads down, but the usually sloppy King Xiaoyao was calmer than anyone else.
"You two are... It's really my love! ā
Song Changshu's trembling hands didn't know where to put it, how his trembling voice would take Baili Rou out of the house, and in what way he stunned her, and then threw her into the hunting ground, so that the hungry beasts could gnaw on the crime process one by one.
If it weren't for Chang Yuanli who arrived when he was about to finish speaking, she would have really believed that it was planned by their mother and son.
"Erchen... See The Mother. ā
After Song Wanqing saw the visitor, her eyes were red, as if she saw an enemy, she pointed at Chang Yuanli, and her voice was hoarse: "It's you!" It's you! If it weren't for you! I and Changshu won't end up in such a field!! ā
"Song Wanqing! Are you still quibbling about it? Isn't it your mother and son who killed Bailirou! Chang Yue protected Chang Yuanli, but was gently pushed away by her.
She squatted down and stuck Song Wanqing's chin, even if she was squatting, she was looking down at it, and the disdain in her eyes was not hidden, "You are the wrong master and the wrong dog... Just stop biting..."
The sarcastic words came out of her mouth, guilt, self-blame, and powerlessness hit her heart, if she hadn't heard it with her own ears, Chang Yue might still think that Chang Yuanli was still that innocent child,
Chang Yue: "Someone! Crush them on death row! ā
Song Wanqing: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty, you can't do that! It's Dejun! It was Dejun who told Weichen these things! The voice got farther and farther away, and the upper study was finally clear.
Bai Liying also stood up, "Your Majesty, Weichen wants to go back to the fiefdom." ā
"Isn't the capital good?"
"What's the good thing about staying here without a souvenir."
Chang Yue was stunned, Bai Liying stayed in the capital at the beginning, precisely because An Qi's body could only be cured by the Tai Hospital's doctor, and now she wants to return to the fiefdom, and it is the person who has no care, her lover and beloved daughter are gone, this is an empty city.
She thought of herself again, Lu Muchen was not in the palace, the power of the eldest daughter was expanding, the eldest son was now sick in bed, and the youngest daughter, who was most similar to her lover, was forced to grow up because of these things, everything was wrong, and she once fantasized about a beautiful imperial life, but after all, she was defeated by reality.
"Well, since you've made up your mind, go back, take ... Take An Qi and Rou'er back. ā
"Many... Thank you, Your Majesty. Bai Liying half-knelt on the ground and arched his hand in front of his forehead, this is the biggest gift in Nanyu Country, a salute that can only be performed when facing parents or friends of life and death.
"Don't let me regret it." She closed her eyes and drove Bai Liying out.
Chang Yuanli took out a recital, the speaker was herself, and the content was to introduce Lu Yiyi as the new household secretary.
"What do you mean?"
"Right now, the position of the head of the household department is vacant, and the son of the right minister is recommended by the son, Lu Yiyi." She was not afraid to say such absurd things when Jiang Chuanmo was still there, because in the former Nanyu Kingdom, there had never been a rule for the princess to hand over the fold to the king.
Chang Yue hastily looked at it and asked, "Li'er's proposal is very good, I will draft the decree in the next few days." ā
"Thank you, Mother."
She didn't stay long, and left the upper study on the grounds that she was unwell.
"Your Highness! Your Highness's injuries haven't completely healed, why did they come out! ā
"It's okay... Always... out. ā
Chang Yuanli heard the familiar voice, and walked over unconsciously, it was Chang Jingwen, holding the cane of Lihuamu, struggling to stand up by himself, but he fell because of the wound, and he didn't let others help him, he struggled to stand up with the crutches, his hands couldn't stop shaking, and blood oozed from the snow-white gauze.
"King Chang'an... Yesterday started... That's it. Ruri whispered next to her.
She watched in a daze as the third brother fell down over and over again, and stood up over and over again, and even Chang Jingchu, who came later, couldn't help but scold him: "You want to die early!" ā
"Second brother... I want to recover sooner and get back to training sooner. ā
"Go back to training early, you should lie down!"
"No... Second brother, sixth sister, she dislikes me, she ignores me... You said I wouldn't be like this if I were careful,... Iā" He shook his head, and he listened to and reflected on what he said that day, and the scene was now.
"Alright, I'll go with you!" He supported Chang Jingwen, how difficult it is for a person with all broken legs to walk independently.
In modern times, it takes a hundred days to break the muscles and bones, normal people have to lie down for a few months, Chang Jingwen is about to get out of bed and walk in four days, obviously the pain is about to ooze blood, and he doesn't let others help him, Chang Yuanli thought of this, and the corners of his mouth suddenly tasted a salty taste, she... Crying?
Liuli couldn't bear to ask: "Do you want to go to see the King of Chang'an?" ā
"No... Doesn't that mean I forgive him if I go? She wiped the tears from her face in a panic, "What about Xiaoying?" Why haven't you seen her lately? ā
"She has always disappeared when she finishes her work, and the slave doesn't know very well..."
Chang Yuanli's eyes were cold, he thought that he would be able to be a little better after being promoted to a personal female official, but he didn't want to be a weasel who couldn't be raised, "Go find her, go feed Xiaobai, I don't want to keep her." ā
"Good..."
Ruri responded timidly.
Lu Muyu also heard a little wind in the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, and when the informant reported them one by one, she looked at her son and almost wondered if there was something wrong with her ears just now.
"Is it Yi'er that Ah Li introduced to His Majesty?"
"Exactly, the Sixth Imperial Maiden directly took out the fold at that time, and His Majesty didn't ask much."
This... Lu Muyu was uneasy to think that Lu Yiyi could afford the position of the head of the household, and Alido probably borrowed her father's name, but she did this because she wanted to... Do you replace the people in the court with your own people? She couldn't help but shake her head, the thought was terrifying.
