Chapter 22: Leaving the Palace
Shen Li was drunk and lay in Minghua Palace, and did not return overnight. Mu Yan looked at the bright moon in the Weiyang Palace, and stayed awake all night.
The next day, when Shen Li came to Weiyang Palace, Hongluan stopped at the door and glared at her angrily, completely forgetting the distinction between dignity and inferiority.
"Niangniang is resting at this moment, I don't want to see anyone, Your Majesty should please go back." ”
When Shen Li heard this, he stopped and was silent for a long time, then looked at the window not far away and said, "Since that's the case, I'll go back." I'm going to leave for Night City tomorrow, so let her have a good rest. ”
After speaking, Shen Li turned around and left. Hongluan was anxious when he saw his distant back, and his eyes immediately turned red. She rushed forward to stop him, to ask him what was the matter, but as soon as she moved, someone grabbed her arm.
"...... Yu-sama?"
Feather Fall is the leader of the Dark Guard, and he usually doesn't show up easily. He is Shen Li's shadow, rarely haunting in the light. So Hongluan was surprised by his appearance, blinked and confirmed again and again, and then saluted in a daze.
Speaking of which, Hongluan has some friendship with Yuluo, especially when they fell off the cliff together not long ago, and Yuluo and Mu Yan took care of her together. Although she was unconscious at the time, she also knew that Yuluo was her savior.
"Your Majesty and Niangniang's affairs, you still don't want to meddle. ”
Yuluo has a cold temperament, and it is not easy to take the initiative to talk to people. Hongluan was angry at this moment, and seeing such a pull, Shen Li had disappeared. couldn't help rubbing his eyes, and said pitifully, "I don't want to ask either." But I just don't understand! Lord Yu, why do you say that there are so many things that keep disturbing His Majesty and Niangniang? You have been with them more than me, and you should know more about the two of them than I do. finally came to the bitter end, the third master became the king of a country, and the mother also became the queen. But the ministers said that Niangniang was weak and afraid that there would be no successor to the royal family, so they kept forcing His Majesty to take a concubine. Later, the second lady didn't know what tricks she played, so that His Majesty allowed her to enter the palace. ”
"The mother is kind, not noisy or noisy, and the bet is that Her Majesty is the only one in her heart. But last night, His Majesty was drunk and did not return all night in Minghua Palace. I asked Niangniang, why didn't you bring Your Majesty back? Niangniang told me because she saw Her Majesty holding Concubine Lian's hand tightly. Let her not be sure, at that time, in His Majesty's heart, is she still the only one? Lord Yu, I know that Your Majesty has also suffered a lot for the sake of Niangniang. I have always been on His Majesty's side. But last night, I saw my mother standing alone in front of the window in a silent daze, and I suddenly felt ...... Do you think I'm wrong? Do you think that Niangniang should leave Your Majesty so that she can live a happier life?"
Yu Luo's eyes flowed, and he quietly listened to Hongluan's words, but he didn't say a word. Originally, these things had been panicked in Hongluan's heart, and no one had to say it. At this moment, I confided in it all, and I suddenly felt much more relaxed. She also knew Yuluo's temperament, so she didn't expect him to give any answers. wiped his tears, and then blessed his body and retired.
"Hongluan. ”
Suddenly, Yuluo called out to her. Hongluan looked back in surprise. I saw Yuluo sigh lightly, and said lightly in an almost inaudible voice: "You are not wrong. ”
As soon as the words fell, the feather fell disappeared. Leaving Hongluan stunned and standing in place, muttering the four words he said, but unfortunately he was confused and didn't understand what it meant.
The next morning, Shen Li and Mu Yan set off for Night City. The entourage only brought a group of elite squads, without fanfare.
The two sat in the same sedan chair, but they were not as embarrassed as they imagined. One day over, Mu Yan acted as if nothing had happened, and after saluting Shen Li, he let him hold his hand and obediently walked into the sedan chair with him.
Along the way, the two of them each looked out the window. Shen Li didn't say a word, but Mu Yan occasionally saw unknown flowers and plants, and asked him what kind of flower was that? What kind of tree was that? When Shen Li heard it, he glanced at it, and then answered them one by one, and told her stories related to the name.
This scene is warm and harmonious, and when outsiders see it, they think it is all good, but when Hongluan sees it, her heart is sour. If it is love that is destined to torment each other, then ...... Why be together?
After a few days of travel, there were no accidents, and the group finally came to Night City. After the soldiers guarding the city went to report, Old Yejun personally ran out to greet him. Chu Han followed behind him, and when he saw Shen Li, he lowered his head and wanted to bow and salute. Shen Li stopped him and said with a smile: "I'm here to be a guest today, not to go to the court, and the rules and the like can still be exempted." ”
Loyal ministers don't serve the two masters, don't look at Chu Han's young age, but he understands the reason. The wonderful thing is that Shen Li and Mu Yan saved his life, and the wife he married was also a person from another country. Although Snow Country is where he was born, his real home is here. Moreover, for Shen Li, Chu Han was convinced. If the world is unified today, the prosperous world is peaceful, everything proves that he is a good monarch.
"Come, come, don't stand outside, and follow me into the city. Look at my precious grandson!"
Since he had a little grandson, there is not a day when Lao Yejun is not grinning happily. At this moment, even if he sees the king of a country, he is not serious and serious, and he can't wait to share his joy with others. The people did not disappoint his interest, but responded with a smile and followed him into the city.
Although the protagonist this time is a cute little guy, what Mu Yan really cares about is Xia Yunzhi's situation. So when Lao Yejun was holding the little guy to show off to everyone, Mu Yan came to the house alone.
Xia Yunzhi saw Mu Yan and jumped up excitedly. Her body had just recovered, and her small face was round, no different from a child, not at all like a mother who had just given birth.
"Sister, I just heard that you and Your Majesty are here. Thinking about dressing up and going out to find you, I didn't expect you to show up. Haha, do we really have a heart?"
Mu Yan shook his head and smiled: "If you have a heart with me, wouldn't your little general Chu hate me?"
"No, it won't!"
Xia Yunzhi waved his hand meaninglessly: "He knows that I am better than my sister, how can he hate you?" Besides, just his wooden head, let alone your sister, even if a handsome young man really comes to take me away, I guess he doesn't even know what it means to be jealous!"
Mu Yan was amused: "If he didn't know what jealousy meant, how could he have eloped with you in the first place?" ”
When Xia Yunzhi heard this, he expressed dissatisfaction. said excitedly: "Sister, you are mistaken, I took him to elope, but he didn't take me to elope." If I hadn't taken the initiative, he would have dared to be so bold? Hey, now that I think about it, it seems like I'm all sticking upside down. ”
