But it is her female
phoenix nirvana: the path
of glory and favor of the demon queen of the country, which is the unique mark of the Ji family.
This makes Ji Niang excited.
But Ji Niang did not speak, quietly retreated out, quietly waiting for Li Jinling outside.
After a while, Li Jinling also came out.
Ji Niang stepped forward and said, “I’ve arranged my wife’s clothes.”
Li Jinling did not refuse.
Ji Niang behind the screen, re-tied the belt to Li Jinling, before a glimpse of the birthmark, now more clearly, can not help, Ji Niang’s eyes some red.
But Li Jinling noticed, “Why are your eyes red?”? Is it uncomfortable?
“No discomfort. Thank you, madam, for your concern.” Concealing her emotions, Chi Niang asked, “Did I see a birthmark on your wife’s chest?”
“Yes.” Li Jinling, on the other hand, didn’t think about anything. He chatted with Ji Niang, “That’s what I was born with.”. My adoptive mother told me that if my mother saw this birthmark, she would recognize me.
“Are your wife and mother missing?” Ji Niang suppressed her excitement.
“Yes.” Li Jinling nodded, but did not say much.
Ji Niang did not ask any more questions to avoid causing trouble.
Quiet, Ji Niang has tidied up Li Jinling’s clothes, sent Li Jinling back to the lobby, Linglong waiting at the door, took Li Jinling, two people toward the lobby.
Ji Niang stood where she was, reluctant to leave for a long time.
That’s her daughter. The daughter she hasn’t seen since she was
born. For a moment, some tears filled
Ji Niang’s eyes.
At that time, in order to escape, Ji Niang also sealed all the abilities of the Ji clan in Li Jinling’s body to avoid being discovered, and because of this, Ji Niang could not find Li Jinling, so she could only find it in the vast sea of people, which was so difficult. She
thought she would never meet again in her lifetime.
But now, Li Jinling appeared alive in front of him.
Ji Niang felt that she wanted nothing more.
She stood quietly for a long time before turning away.
And the hall, is still singing and dancing, until after nightfall, Murong Yufeng and other talents left, Mu Lan and Li Shiyu personally sent a line of people to the outside of the house, watching their carriage leave, they turned back to the house.
Mu Lan did not hesitate, and after nodding to Li Shiyu, he hurried toward Ji Niang’s room.
And Ji Niang was already waiting for Mu Lan in the house. When she
saw Mu Lan come in, Ji Niang’s eyes were still a little red, but she still did not forget the rules: “Pay your respects to your wife.”
“No courtesy.” Mu Lan picked up Ji Niang and looked at her red eyes. She already knew the answer in her heart. “Li Jinling is your daughter, right?”
“Yes.” Ji Niang didn’t deny it.
Mu Lan quieted down and calmly looked at Ji Niang. “Since it’s your daughter, does Ji Niang have any plans?”
This, Mu Lan is always to ask.
Ji Niang’s decision can affect a lot of things under such circumstances.
So Mu Lan can not not ask, at least know, just have a bottom in the heart, know how to proceed next.
Ji Niang was quiet, but did not immediately answer Mu Lan’s question.
Mu Lan is not impatient and patient waiting for Ji Niang’s answer.
It was not until Ji Niang looked at Mu Lan that she said, “Madam, it’s hard for me to believe that I can find her. Naturally, I want to recognize her.”. But under such circumstances, as Madame said, I can’t do anything, and even if I recognize her, I can’t take her away.
Ji Niang is still clear about the importance.
For Mu Lan, she is grateful, naturally can not cause any trouble to Mu Lan, now Mu Lan and Li Shiyu, in the critical moment, has been unable to tolerate the slightest mistake.
As long as I can look at her, I will be satisfied. It is enough to know that she lives in this world. Chi Niang spoke directly, and her eyes were a little dim. “We’ll talk about other things later.”
“Ji Niang..” Mu Lan said it was false that he was not moved.
No one in the sight of their children, but also to maintain absolute calm, Ji Niang for them to take into account the overall situation, at the expense of the opportunity to take their daughter.
But Ji Niang smiled faintly and looked at Mu Lan. “Madam, there’s no need to be moved. It’s not all for her sake. It’s also for my own selfishness.”
This made Mu Lan look at Ji Niang curiously.
“If Jinling stays with the Murong leader, it’s not necessarily worse than if he comes with me.” Ji Niang said quietly, “She may not want to stay there, but as far as she’s concerned, she’s married after all. Whether she wants to or not, she’s the wife of the Murong leader.”
Ji Niang said slowly, “But that’s not the point. The point is that the Murong leader has always been very kind to her, except for not letting her leave.”. So, for that reason, I can’t take her. One day, when they are beyond redemption, it will not be too late for me to take her away again.
Mu Lan nods, this also is this truth really.
Outsiders don’t know how Murong Yufeng and Li Jinling get along.
But outsiders know Murong Yufeng to Li Jinling’s favor, to Li Jinling’s indulgence, so, in anyone’s view, Li Jinling is actually lucky, if did not meet Murong Yufeng, the result may be worse than now.
So, there is really no reason, let Li Jinling follow Ji Niang around.
What’s more, Ji Niang followed them for so long, Li Shiyuan and Ji Liansha must also know, naturally will not let go of Ji Niang, if they have an accident, Ji Niang also can not stay long time, but is involved in Li Jinling.
Mu Lan didn’t say anything.
“The Ji clan is not stable, and those who are lucky enough to survive are torn apart.” Ji Niang sighed silently, “Ji Liansha’s brain is blinded by the interests of the mind, sooner or later will implicate all or the Ji family.”. The people of the Ji family have a unique flavor, and Li Shiyuan will certainly force Ji Liansha to find these people.
Ji Niang said directly: “Ji Liansha’s one, this year, I’m afraid it’s almost been dealt with.”. And I have been hiding my breath, so Ji Liansha can’t find my exact location, which has never happened for many years.
「……」
“From the moment Jinling was born, I hid her breath to avoid being found, and I still do. So with me, this kind of breath is bound to blossom gradually. This is a unique feature of the Ji family. Once the Ji family is together, the magnetic field will affect each other, which is certainly not a good thing.”
“I’m afraid someone will use this as an excuse to attack Beiming. It will be chaos after all, and Jinling won’t be able to survive either.”
……
Ji Niang analyzed the situation very thoroughly. Mu Lan was suddenly enlightened. She looked at Ji Niang and said, “You are wronged.”. Under such circumstances, you..
Madam, I will help you find the other half of the imperial seal, and then I will stay in the frontier fortress. When you and the fourth Master return to Beijing, won’t the young master also stay in the frontier fortress? I’ll help you keep an eye on the young master and protect him, and I’ll be able to keep an eye on Jinling, so I’ll be satisfied. Ji Niang said what she thought.
Mu Lan did not embarrass Ji Niang. That Ao Feng is also entrusted to Ji Niang. On the day when Fourth Master fulfills his long-cherished wish, we will certainly come back to meet Aofeng.
“Good.” Ji Niang answered.
Mu Lan then stood up, hugged Ji Niang, but did not say anything more.
Ji Niang suddenly asked, “When are you and Fourth Master going back to Beijing?”
“Wait for the Ao Feng to pass a hundred days.” Mu Lan answered, “Besides, we have to find the imperial seal.”
The former is to spend more time with Ao Feng. Because I don’t know how long it will take to come back. And the matter of the imperial seal, is also necessary, without the imperial seal, go back also the same name is not right.
So, after thinking about it, this is the best time.
Ji Niang listened to Mu Lan’s words, quieted down, and thought for a moment: “Then there are still two months to go. At that time, the weather will turn warm. On the way back, everyone can pack lightly, but it will be much easier.”. If you have enough time, you can arrange it more safely.
“Yes.” Mu Lan answered.
“Ji Niang can’t accompany you, but she will be here to burn incense and worship the Buddha for his wife and the Fourth Master, hoping to ask the Bodhisattva to bless the Fourth Master and his wife, and to keep them safe and sound.” Ji Niang said quietly.
Mu Lan bowed and said, “I’m here to thank you.”
After that, Mu Lan did not stay in Ji Niang’s room for too long, and soon left calmly, while Li Shiyu had been waiting outside the door, and when he saw Mu Lan coming out, he immediately walked in the direction of Mu Lan.
“Have you finished talking with Ji Niang?” Li Shiyu asked.
His hand was naturally wrapped around Mu Lan’s waist, and the two of them were very close to each other, walking along the moonlight toward their own courtyard.
Mu Lan hum, Ji Niang’s idea told Li Shiyu.
Li Shi-yu listened and quieted down, but finally said nothing: “You can handle this matter.”
Mu Lan was quiet for a moment. Then he looked up at Li Shiyu. “There’s no way to get the mother and daughter to recognize each other, and it won’t make the Murong leader angry?”
“Not yet.” Li Shiyu’s answer was very direct. As Ji Niang said, if the mother and daughter really recognize each other, then Li Jinling’s breath will gradually appear, and it is very easy to cause trouble. It is not necessarily a good thing to bring trouble to Murong Yufeng.
「……」
“It’s not good for us, or for their mother and daughter.” “But if we return to Beijing smoothly, everything will not be impossible,” said Li Shiyu.
Mu Lan looked at Li Shiyu curiously.
At that time, there were many things to talk about with Murong Yufeng, and it was much easier for a Li Jinling to let their mother and daughter recognize each other. After all, no one would have persecuted the Ji clan back then. Li Shi-yu quietly opened his mouth and put forward his ideas directly. “So everything can only be discussed when we return to Beijing.”
Mu Lan nodded and understood what Li Shiyu meant: “Listen to you.”
“Lan’er.” Li Shiyu smiled and held Mu Lan in his arms. “Have you noticed that since you became proud, people have become softer, and when they think about problems, they are far more emotional than rational?”.
“What do you mean?” Mu Lan raised his eyebrows and looked at Li Shiyu.
Li Shiyu chuckled and said, “You look even more gentle like this.”
He looked at Mu Lan, the spoiling in his eyebrows and eyes was obvious, but Mu Lan was slightly blushed by what Li Shiyu said, and angrily pushed the man away.
Li Shiyu was caught off guard by Mu Lan pushed, but also did not say anything, quickly stood still, Mu Lan into the arms.
They snuggled quietly in the moonlight.
It was not until Mu Lan broke the silence: “Tell me, if we go back to Beijing this time, will there be any complications?”
“No.” Li Shiyu said firmly.
He pulled away from Mu Lan slightly, and there was a touch in his low eyebrows and eyes. Every word was particularly clear: “When I get back to Beijing this time, all the dust has settled. The first thing I want to do is to wear ten miles of red makeup, hire the country, and formally marry you home.”
“Aren’t we married?” Mu Lan laughed.
“No, I will tell the world that you are my queen.” Li Shiyu said in a heavy voice, “The previous ceremony was just to give you a status, but this kind of ceremony is a grievance for you.” As he
spoke, he quieted down and looked at Mulan again with a smile in his eyes and a big hand on Mulan’s cheek: “I don’t want you to suffer any grievance.”
The room quieted down.
Only the heartbeat of each other is clearly visible.
Mulan smiled softly. “Good.”
Li Shiyu once again held Mu Lan in his arms, Mu Lan against the man’s chest, against his heartbeat, and the familiar sandalwood fragrance from his nose.
The years are quiet and good, but this is all.
May everything in the future have good weather.
“Lan’er.” Suddenly, Li Shiyu called Mu Lan’s name.
Mu Lan hum, did not look up, still leaning on the man’s chest, slender hands around the man’s waist, the voice shows a bit of laziness.
“If –” Li Shiyu’s voice sank, “I said if, if there is any accident after returning to Kyoto, you are not allowed to come back.”
Mu Lan suddenly looked at Li Shiyu and said, “What do you mean by that?”
“Anything can have an accident.” Li Shiyu, on the other hand, said calmly, “If you have an accident, Rong Jiu and Rong Temple will try their best to protect you. You must leave here safely.”. Don’t forget, we still have pride, and now we can’t allow you to act foolishly, and we can’t allow you to have no scruples. After all, we have a soft spot.
Li Shiyu calmly finished the words, but the eyes that fell on Mu Lan were not instantaneous.
Leave Aofeng in the frontier fortress, in addition to do not want to let Aofeng bumpy, another reason is that as long as Aofeng is still in the frontier fortress, if there is an accident in Kyoto, then Mu Lan can not be so unscrupulous as before.
She has to worry about the arrogant wind.
This is a good thing for Li Shiyu.
At least it won’t involve Mu Lan again.
As long as Mulan can leave Kyoto safely and return to the frontier fortress, then everything is no longer a problem.
This is also Li Shiyu’s thinking.
But Li Shiyu’s words left Mu Lan speechless. She looked at Li Shiyu and said, “You promised me that you wouldn’t have an accident again.”. Nothing will happen.
“No, I won’t.” Li Shiyu promised, “I will protect your mother and son, and I will watch Aofeng grow up and be with you.”. So I’m talking about if. Everyone has to prepare for the worst, doesn’t he?
“No ifs.” Mu Lan’s voice is very firm.
In such firmness, Li Shiyu sighed silently, holding Mu Lan in his arms once again, very gently comforting him: “Well, there are no ifs.”
“Mmm.” Mu Lan nodded with satisfaction.
Inside, it was quiet again.
It was not until Li Shiyu once again broke the silence: “It’s getting late. Go to bed early.”. Didn’t Ji Niang say that she would go to the imperial seal’s hiding place tomorrow?
“Yes.” Mu Lan did not deny that
this was something that had been agreed half a month ago.
After the full moon feast of Aofeng, they will get up and go to the hiding place of the imperial seal. Whether they are at the bottom of the cliff or not, they will try to see it. They can’t spend all the time here.
“Well, I’ll go with you to rest.” Li Shiyu loosened Mu Lan, took his hand, and walked quietly toward the bed.
Outside, the night was just right, and it was peaceful.
……
–
The second day.
Before dawn, Mu Lan had already woken up.
One side of Li Shiyu is still sleeping, Mu Lan took a look, that kind of upset feeling became obvious.
Her intuition has been very accurate, always feel that today’s time is not so simple, that kind of feeling of anxiety, a little swept Mu Lan’s heart, let her restless unceasingly.
I don’t know if it’s good or bad. Under
such upset, let Mu Lan lose sleepiness very early.
And last night, Mu Lan’s mind is all kinds of chaotic pictures, as if he entered his own environment, everything is white, want to break through, but how can not come out.
So that when he woke up today, Mu Lan felt exhausted.
Not because I didn’t sleep well.
It’s really walking around in the fantasy world.
Also is Mu Lan in the big week time, used the illusion, will let oneself exhausted feeling.
Mu Lan finally took a deep breath and sat up. Such a slight movement soon woke up Li Shiyu, who was still sleeping.
He looked at Mulan and sensed something was wrong. “What’s wrong?”
Mu Lan did not speak.
Li Shiyu had already sat up and turned Mu Lan in front of him. “Is something wrong?”? Or is there something wrong with it?
For any reaction of Mu Lan, Li Shiyu can clearly feel, so he also asked directly.
Mu Lan shook his head and just looked at Li Shiyu: “I had a nightmare, so I didn’t sleep well.”
“Fool–” Li Shih-yu hesitated for a moment, then returned to his senses and chuckled. Only then did he hold Mu Lan in his arms.
Mu Lan clung to Li Shiyu’s chest and gradually calmed down. It
was a long time before she said, “Tell me, what if we don’t find the seal today?”
“Look again.” Li Shiyu said directly.
“What if I don’t find it until I get back to Kyoto?” Mu Lan asked quietly.
“Let’s talk about it in the future.” Li Shi-yu’s attitude is very calm. Whether there is a jade seal or not is not the key to the current situation. The imperial seal of the Great Zhou Dynasty has been lost for a hundred years, but as long as the reigning emperor does not act recklessly, the people will obey him.
Mulan listened carefully.
“Li Shiyuan is in a situation like this. Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it. He won’t last long. Without the imperial seal, it won’t affect the overall situation. As long as Li Shiyuan’s people are thoroughly cleaned up, then this matter won’t be brought up again.” Li Shiyu is considerate.
He spoke out his thoughts in order to calm Mulan’s restless heart.
The imperial seal is important.
But the most important thing now is to attack the capital.
Other things can be discussed in the long run after returning to Beijing.
And Li Shiyu’s words, also let Mu Lan’s heart wide, but such relief, but also can not suppress the feeling of anxiety in the heart.
It seems that it has nothing to do with the imperial seal.
Li Shiyu looked out of the window and said, “It’s still early. You can rest for a while.”
Mulan shook his head. “I’m not sleepy anymore.”
I’m really not sleepy, and I’m very awake.
Seeing that Mu Lan doesn’t want to go back to sleep, Li Shiyu is calm: “Then accompany me.”
“Good.” Mu Lan nodded.
Soon, Li Shiyu held Mu Lan in his arms, half forced Mu Lan to lie on the bed again, Mu Lan’s restless feeling is still there, but when relying on this person, the feeling of peace of mind has become obvious. The
two emotions are intertwined and become more and more complex.
……
When the sky is bright, two people got up, Linglong quickly came in, served Mu Lan to wash, and Li Shiyu had already prepared. After
breakfast, Li Shiyu and Mu Lan took Li Shichu and Ji Niang directly to the birch forest.
In the birch forest, Mu Lan stood quietly beside the carriage, as if thinking about where he had come from.
The birch forest did not look any different from before, but Mu Lan could not remember where he had come from. It seems that every dot looks exactly the same.
But Mu Lan is very clear, there is only one way up, if everywhere can come up, Rong Fei did not need to personally bring their own, if wrong, the following is the abyss, so can not tolerate the slightest mistake.
Li Shiyu and others did not dare to make a sound and looked at Mu Lan quietly.
Mu Lan closed his eyes and completely emptied everything around him. There was no fantasy here. Everything was real, but everything here was enough to make Mu Lan confused. Close your eyes and think carefully, but you can calm yourself down.
Mu Lan did not speak, the surroundings gradually quiet down.
Her eyes went dark.
Mu Lan is not impatient to stand in place, the mind quickly turning a variety of pictures, but all the pictures gathered together, but now is the birch forest.
Suddenly, Mu Lan’s footsteps moved.
Li Shi-yu and the others looked at each other, but Li Shi-che didn’t even want to think about it. He was quickly stopped by Ji Niang, who said, “Seventh Master, stay where you are and wait for your wife to find a place.”
Ji Niang probably understood Mu Lan’s idea.
Mu Lan is looking for the entrance, and now the environment looks the same as usual, but it has affected Mu Lan’s judgment, if the judgment is wrong, the loss is four lives.
So Mu Lan is emptying everything.
She can’t gamble. Can only prepare.
But Li Shi-che looked at Ji Niang for no reason: “What does that mean?”? This birch forest is not small, but if it is big, it is not big either.
Although you can’t see the end at a glance, it doesn’t take too long to walk around.
“Wait here quietly until Madame speaks.” Ji Niang said calmly.
Li Shichu’s footsteps stopped, but he nodded and did not move again.
A group of people stood where they were, waiting patiently.
And Mu Lan along the only light in the dark, quietly toward the light, until in front of the light, Mu Lan just stood firm.
Then, Mu Lan opened his eyes.
That is the edge of the birch forest, below is the abyss, but Mu Lan knows that this is the place where he came up at that time, but the way up at that time has been no longer seen, as if falling down, will be crushed to pieces.
But close to the abyss, Mu Lan felt the power of the illusion.
Illusion to cover the original road, the rest is the abyss, but Mu Lan is also very clear, this illusion to cover the road will not be too wide, it is estimated that only one person can pass, a step did not step on, the result is actually the same.
Her feet slightly tested, and soon half of Mulan had appeared in the abyss, as if he had been divided into two.
But the soles of Mu Lan’s feet are the feeling of stepping on the ground, solid, not lost.
She took another tentative step forward, and now she was walking down the cliff.
Mu Lan’s mind in the memory of the day up the road, not all the way to the underground, almost the time is to turn, can access the cliff edge of the dense forest, the approximate distance, Mu Lan know, but every step, are particularly cautious.
And when the three of them in the birch forest saw Mu Lan moving, Ji Niang was the first to react: “Madam has found the entrance.”
Soon the three of them hurried away in the direction of Mu Lan. When
Mu Lan heard the sound of footsteps, he stood where he was and calmly said, “This is an illusion, but the road under the illusion is only for one person to pass through. You can only follow my back. You can’t cross my figure, and you can’t look to the side. Otherwise, there will really be an abyss below. If you fall down, you will be crushed to pieces.”
Mu Lan said every word very clearly, and then reminded the three people on the edge of the cliff.
“Good.” Li Shiyu answered.
Mu Lan nodded. “Ji Niang is at the end.”
“Good.” Ji Niang promised. In Mu Lan’s view,
this is the safest way, after all, Ji Niang is a member of the Ji family, when there is a real risk, Ji Niang can be predicted in advance.
But Li Shiyu and Li Shichu are just human beings. If something really happens, it will be a dead end. There is no room for manoeuvre.
After a careful explanation, Mu Lan motioned to Li Shiyu to come down.
“Close your eyes and don’t be affected by what’s going on around you.” Mu Lan confessed.
Li Shiyu closed his eyes according to the words, and then, he soon stepped on a solid piece of land, he walked steadily, Mu Lan stood in place, a little bit of rubbing, but her hand has been holding Li Shiyu’s hand, two people’s palms slightly tight.
It’s a calming force.
Mu Lan did not close his eyes again.
Dragon people can create the most powerful fantasy, the environment here is not enough to affect Mu Lan, so as long as Mu Lan takes every step steadily, even if the fantasy does not disappear, she can also walk safely to the cave.
So Mu Lan is not afraid of this fantasy.
She looked behind her from time to time to make sure that the people behind her were safe and followed.
Until Mulan walked to the previous turning point, Mulan’s feet tentatively toward the right side of the past, as a result, this time, Mulan has stepped on the air, because Mulan stepped on the air, the people behind are followed by a stagger.
In the end, Li Shiyu stabilized and all the talents were safe and sound.
Mu Lan is jumpy.
“What’s the matter?” Li Shiyu suddenly opened his eyes and asked Mu Lan. Without thinking,
Mu Lan covered Li Shiyu’s eyes: “Don’t look, you’ll be affected by the illusion.”
Li Shiyu closed his eyes again.
At this point, Mu Lan took Li Shiyu’s hand and tightened it: “I’m here. I’m fine.” Only then did
Li Shiyu calm down.
Mu Lan looked at the illusion in front of him and suddenly did not know where to go.
Ji Niang also noticed, “Madam, but there is no way out.”
“No.” Mu Lan answered, “The way I used to come is gone.”. But I haven’t tried it before. But if there is a road ahead, it will be all the way to the bottom of the cliff. They don’t know how deep
the cliff is.
Mu Lan can not guarantee whether the road still exists after entering the bottom of the cliff, and whether they can return the same way.
If you can’t go back, the result will be the same. They can’t stay under
the cliff for long, and they will be at the end of their tether, because no one knows what is under the cliff.
According to Rong Fei said, under the cliff, are poisonous snakes and beasts, people go down, it is basically impossible to survive. Now
, Mu Lan hesitated.
Ji Niang looked at Mu Lan, Mu Lan also looked at Ji Niang.
And Li Shiyu and Li Shichu always closed their eyes, two people did not speak, only Mu Lan can be in the palm of Li Shiyu, feel the tension of this person. I am
not nervous because of the current environment, but because of myself.
Mulan took a deep breath: “Are you ready?”
“Mmm.” Li Shiyu answered.
Mu Lan did not say anything, and then turned to look ahead, the front is still a vast expanse of white, they look, as if walking on the edge of the cliff.
That kind of soul-stirring feeling is obvious.
Mulan’s foot stretched out slightly, testing it, this time, Mulan stepped on the solid land, but it was still a steep slope, allowing only one person to pass.
Mu Lan tightened his hand.
Li Shiyu nodded and motioned that he understood what Mu Lan meant.
Soon, Mu Lan walked toward the front, Li Shiyu quietly followed behind her. Mu Lan’s footsteps are not fast, every step is taken carefully, after all, a dodge, the following waiting for their own is the abyss, she can not tolerate any mistakes.
And all the way, it was very smooth. There
was no longer any bifurcation, and they went all the way down to the bottom of the cliff. The scenery under the
cliff is quite different from that above.
Do not know is into a new fantasy, or under the cliff is so, Mu Lan also some can not tell, she stood quietly, waiting for their own calm down.
And Li Shiyu and others have come down.
As soon as they looked, they could hardly see the birch forest.
And the way they walked, but also did not appear in front of them, as if they stepped on the clouds, all the way down. When
Li Shih-chul saw this, he couldn’t help sighing: I’ve really never seen anything like this in my life. And both visions were seen by the fourth sister-in-law.
Mu Lan smiled calmly and said, “If I can, I don’t want to meet a fantasy.”. Even if I can use illusions, it’s impossible to be completely unaffected if I didn’t create them.
Along the way, Mu Lan also had a lingering fear.
Instead, Ji Niang looked at everything around her seriously.
She walked around here.
The rest of the people did not move, standing in place, watching Ji Niang turn around, Mu Lan also appears to be much more quiet, she carefully observed the situation around. When I met Rong Fei
here, Rong Fei and Mu Lan said that the bottom of the cliff was full of poisonous snakes and beasts, but now I see the picture of birds and flowers, which is completely different from what Rong Fei said.
But Mu Lan wanted to feel whether this was a fantasy, but he could not feel it at all.
Good. She’s one with all this.
It is impossible to judge the authenticity.
But Mu Lan knew that Rong Fei would not deceive herself, so now the situation was
quiet. Mu Lan twisted her eyebrows and said to Ji Niang, “Ji Niang, be careful. This is probably a fantasy.”. Could have been created by a very powerful fantasy maker. I can’t even feel it. I just feel like everything here is real.
Unlike the illusion of nothingness on the downhill, everything here is too real. The
real is as if it exists.
Even the touch of these flowers and plants is real, when pinched out, it can be felt, but the more so, the more people feel dangerous.
Calm is usually an omen before a storm.
Ji Niang groped around in the same place and then looked at Mu Lan. “Madam, I’m afraid this is really the place.”
This made the three people change their faces again, and then they walked quickly in the direction of Ji Niang.
Ji Niang pointed to the waterfall and the flowing water here. “Do you feel anything unusual, madam?”
Mulan is quiet, carefully looking at the waterfall and lake here, the touch is the same as those flowers and plants before, and there is no difference.
Mu Lan looked at Ji Niang and said, “It’s the same as the flowers and plants before. It doesn’t make people feel true or false at all.”. But the calmer it is, the more it represents an anomaly.
Ji Niang nodded. “Do you know why madam can’t feel it?”
Mu Lan was quiet and did not speak.
“Because this is the illusion of the dragons.” Ji Niang went on to say, “Madam’s illusions are already extremely powerful, and Madam is a member of the Dragon Clan, so naturally she will merge with everything here. It is impossible for the illusions of the Dragon Clan to harm the people of her own clan, so it is normal for Madam not to be aware of them.”
If you can perceive the abnormality of the illusion, you usually feel the danger.
Only the illusion of the dragon people, the dragon people can not perceive the anomaly, but these illusions have become the umbrella to protect Mulan.
Beyond the illusion of the bottom of the cliff, I am afraid, as Mu Lan said, the following are poisonous snakes and beasts, they walk like this, has long been dead.
But Ji Niang’s words shocked Mu Lan: “You say, is this the illusion of the Dragon Clan?”? But the dragons are not..
“The dragons have been exterminated, but doesn’t the lady exist?” Chi-niang laughed. “Maybe in the dark, everything is doomed.”
Then Ji Niang pointed to the location in the middle of the lake and said, “If I’m not wrong, I’m afraid the place where the imperial seal is hiding is in the middle of the lake.”
Li Shi Che and Li Shi Yu looked at each other, and they also looked at the round lake under the waterfall.
This round lake looks no different from a normal lake, but if you look carefully, you will find that the bottom of the lake is unfathomable and almost bottomless. The more such a lake bottom, the more it represents danger, if people go in, it is very likely to be involved in the whirlpool, completely unable to come out.
“This can’t go down at all.” Li Shichu couldn’t help opening his mouth.
Ji Niang shook her head and said, “Seventh Master, this is a fantasy. What you see is different from the real situation. Maybe the real bottom of the lake is just a small depression.”. Or maybe nothing exists. Only then did
Li Shichu come to his senses.
“Seventh Master, if you come across a place you can’t control, please close your eyes, don’t think about it, and don’t bring it in. Illusion can control people’s thinking. The more similar you feel, the more it will make you think it’s normal here, and then once you enter, you may be in danger.”
Ji Niang is reminding Li Shichu.
Li Shichu suddenly realized, can not help but calm their minds, and sure enough, before that idea disappeared in an instant, as if the master of the fantasy also felt Li Shichu’s stability, for a while and a half will not be able to control Li Shichu’s ideas.
“And this is an environment created by the dragons. Madam is a member of the dragons, so we are not harmed in this environment. The dragons are protecting Madam.” Ji Niang continued to explain.
Li Shiyu always stood quietly, looking at everything around him, but in the end, Li Shiyu’s eyes fell on Mu Lan.
Mu Lan knew what Li Shiyu was thinking, and she took a step forward, quietly looking at the man in front of her.
“I’m a dragon, and I don’t feel any danger here, so it should be safe for me.” Mu Lan’s voice was very calm, and his eyes fell on Li Shiyu in an instant. “Don’t be nervous. Besides, we’ve come here, and after all, we have to go and have a look.”
This is to appease Li Shiyu’s heart.
Li Shiyu took Mu Lan by the hand and said, “I’ll go with you.”
“Good.” Mu Lan did not object.
Here is the environment of the dragon clan, will not threaten themselves, then she brought people, should not be threatened, otherwise, they will not go so smoothly, all the way here.
That’s why Mulan didn’t refuse.
“If something happens,” Li Shi-yu suddenly said quietly.
Mulan put his hand over Li Shiyu’s mouth and said, “Don’t talk nonsense. We’ll all be safe.”
Li Shiyu saw Mu Lan’s little action, some helpless, but finally shook his head to Mu Lan, but also did not say anything, he re-held Mu Lan’s hand into his palm.
Then the two men looked at the position of the round lake.
Ji Niang nodded, “Are you ready?”? If that’s all right, then let’s go there.
This, we, includes all the people present.
Under such circumstances, four people must be together, can not act separately, to avoid accidents, no one can control, and even want to turn back, it is too late.
So they have to be together.
“Good.” Mu Lan answered.
Then, Mu Lan still walked ahead and entered the round lake according to the way they came down.
Sure enough, as Ji Niang said, here is also a fantasy, looks unfathomable at the bottom of the lake, when stepping into, but as if stepping on the flat ground, solid.
Prove that this is the road under the cliff.
Soon, they crossed the middle of the lake and entered the waterfall. The current of the waterfall was very obvious, and the clothes on the four people were washed wet at once. The feeling of wetness was also clearly felt.
But the four of them didn’t care and went all the way to the waterfall. The inside of the
waterfall really has a hole in the sky, just like the scene seen in the secret room under the Yuwangfu Palace in Kyoto, it is almost copied again, and there is no difference. When the
four people saw such a picture, they were really relieved.
“Here we are.” Mu Lan said.
“Isn’t this the same as the secret room in Yu Wang Fu?” Li Shichu also exclaimed.
Li Shiyu also carefully looked at everything around, and indeed the situation in the Chamber of Secrets is the same, they quickly walked to the middle position.
That’s where the imperial seal is.
As they approached, Mulan stopped them and said, “I’ll go over there.”
“Lan’er–” Li Shiyu stopped Mu Lan. “I’ll be careful,” motioned
Mu Lan, nodding at Li Shiyu.
That eyes with firm, more can not allow Li Shiyu any refusal, Li Shiyu looked at Mu Lan, in her eyes to see the insistence, finally, is Li Shiyu step back.
Ji Niang walked over with Mu Lan.
Sure enough, there was a line of words written on it-
witches come and go, smoke fills the air, blood between the eyebrows, summoning the imperial seal.
This seems to be straightforward.
The box in which the imperial seal was placed shone faintly, but everyone knew very well that opening the imperial seal was full of danger, just as in the secret room of Yu Wang Fu, they were all worried about a different fantasy.
If it is a fantasy within a fantasy, then the people who create the fantasy are too powerful, and it is even more difficult for them to get out alive.
Such illusions are usually used to kill illusionists.
This also means that Mulan will die here.
Ji Niang and Mu Lan understand this very much, two people look at each other one eye, did not say this word.
Li Shiyu and Li Shichu stood not far away, as if they could not see them clearly, because the halo around them completely wrapped them up.
Mu Lan looked at Ji Niang.
Ji Niang is calm.
Ji Niang’s heart heard Mu Lan’s words, and Mu Lan sent a message to Ji Niang’s heart through the illusion: “Ji Niang, if there is really an illusion of killing people, then it’s me who is killed, because you don’t know the illusion. You leave with the imperial seal at the first time, and take them back along the original road. As long as the illusion of the Dragon Clan is still there, it’s safe.” I will stall for time.
Mu Lan’s voice was very firm and looked at Ji Niang.
Ji Niang’s face was a little embarrassed.
There is no choice. It’s better for me to have an accident alone than for all four of us to have an accident here. Otherwise, why did we have to go through all the trouble to get the imperial seal back? Mu Lan is asking Ji Niang.
Ji Niang sighed silently for a long time. “Madam, if you say something like that, the Fourth Master will blame me.”
“That’s what I mean.” Mulan continued, “He can’t blame you.”. All you have to do is get them out of here safely. Mark my words, if something happens to me, Ao Feng will also entrust you. Waiting for Fourth Master to come back from Kyoto to meet Ao Feng. Every word
that Mu Lan said was like his last words.
She did the worst consequences, said everything that could happen, arranged everything that could be arranged, looked at Ji Niang’s eyes, but did not have any change, not a moment.
Mu Lan will never give in, nor will he change his decision.
Li Shiyu can not do things, Ji Niang can not do.
Besides, in the case of weighing the pros and cons, this is really the best way.
Finally, Ji Niang answered helplessly, “Don’t worry, madam, I will take the Fourth Master and the Seventh Master out of here even if I die.”
“Good.” Mu Lan is relieved. In the view of
Li Shiyu and Li Shiyu, they just stood and did not speak, but such silence also made Li Shiyu’s eyebrows twist up, which was a kind of uneasy premonition.
Subconsciously, Li Shiyu also looked at Li Shiyu, as if he did not quite understand what was happening now, but in such an environment, the perturbed heart has always existed.
When Li Shiyu was about to move forward, Mu Lan suddenly said, “Don’t move. Just stand there.”
A word, let Li Shiyu’s footsteps stop.
Ji Niang answered at the right moment: “Madam, this blood between the eyebrows is the blood between the eyebrows of the young master you asked me to take.”
“If nothing else, it should be.” Mu Lan answered. If
Li Shiyuan had not been sure of this, Li Shiyuan would not have done such a thing in his previous life. What’s more, this life Ji Liansha is still in Li Shiyuan’s side, Ji Niang can calculate that she is a member of the dragon clan, Ji Liansha can also know.
That sentence, as soon as the Dragon Lady came out, Jiangshan changed ownership, Mu Lan knew, Li Shiyuan was afraid to know earlier.
So, everything has a source, and it doesn’t make any sense to think about it now.
Ji Niang nodded and looked at the groove in the middle of the wooden box. “Try it and you’ll see.”
“I’ll do it.” Mu Lan said directly.
Ji Niang did not say anything, soon handed the eyebrow blood to Mu Lan, Mu Lan took the eyebrow blood, carefully went to the wooden box, but she did not touch the wooden box, half squatted down, the two drops of blood in the glass bottle, slowly fell to the groove of the wooden box.
This movement looks gentle. But Mu Lan’s hand has been trembling slightly. It is false
to say that I am not nervous.
But Ao Feng’s eyebrow heart blood entered the groove along the glass bottle, Mu Lan this just breathed a sigh of relief, the glass bottle still holds in the hand.
Ji Niang and Li Shiyu and Li Shichu were quiet, looking at the changes in the wooden box.
If Mulan is right, then the wooden box will open itself.
If it’s wrong, judging from previous experience, they can’t take the wooden box away, and it’s futile to come here.
But the wooden box did not seem to respond.
Mu Lan’s eyebrows have been twisted up, with a trace of confusion on his face.
If the eyebrow blood is not used here, then why does Li Shiyuan want the eyebrow blood?
When everyone was puzzled, suddenly, the wooden box moved, it was the sound of unlocking, and the eyes of the four became surprised.
Soon, the wooden box gave off a soft light, and then it was slowly opened. After the
wooden box was completely opened, the yellow halo had disappeared, and the wooden box turned into an ordinary box and appeared in front of everyone.
Mu Lan took the lead.
Sure enough, she saw the other half of the seal in the wooden box.
“It’s the imperial seal.” Ji Niang also noticed.
Li Shichu and Li Shiyu looked at each other, and there was surprise, excitement and surprise in their eyes. It’s really not easy to find the other half of the seal
after going through all kinds of hardships.
But Mu Lan half crouched down and looked at the imperial seal in the wooden box, but there was no immediate movement.
Ji Niang also looked at Mu Lan, Mu Lan looked back at Ji Niang, and then two people nodded, Ji Niang understood the meaning of Mu Lan.
If Mu Lan takes out the imperial seal, if something goes wrong, then Ji Niang will take Li Shiyu and Li Shichu to leave, if safe, then they can leave here smoothly. After
Mu Lan got a definite answer in Ji Niang’s eyes, Mu Lan reached out his hand and carefully took out the imperial seal in the wooden box. There was no obstacle to
all this, nor was it like the illusion that appeared in the secret room of Yu Wang Fu, but it seemed quiet.
But Mu Lan knew very well that they were already in a fantasy.
So now the calm of the fantasy does not mean that it is really safe. The fantasy in the fantasy, it is used to kill people, and it is she who can create the fantasy.
And who is behind it?
Mu Lan is not sure.
“That’s great.” Li Shih-chul breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Mu Lan coming over. “I didn’t expect to get the imperial seal so smoothly.”
Ji Niang also breathed a sigh of relief.
Mu Lan gave the seal to Li Shiyu: “This is the other half of the seal. If you go back and put it together with the previous seal, it will be complete. If you have the seal, when you ascend the throne, it will be justified. You can save a lot of trouble.”
Li Shiyu took the imperial seal carefully and said, “Lan’er has worked hard.”
“No.” Mu Lan smiled and felt relieved. “We’d better get out of here as soon as possible. I always feel something is wrong here.”
“Good.” Li Shiyu did not hesitate.
The four of them walked out of the waterfall, trying to follow the original direction back to the round lake, and then they could return to the birch forest. Unexpectedly
, they walked out of the waterfall smoothly, and when they were in the center of the round lake, the round lake suddenly began to shake.
Mulan’s face changed. “Oh no, the illusion is changing.”
Ji Niang also realized.
This means that the previous road is no longer feasible. They don’t know where they are now and what the situation is. If they go rashly, there will be more danger.
Obviously, the people who created the illusion had no intention of letting them go.
Suddenly, the mist around them filled the air, and the water in the middle of the lake rolled up in waves, as if the big waves were howling, which made people feel terrible.
Li Shiyu did not want to protect Mu Lan.
But Mu Lan felt a force to pull himself away from Li Shiyu.
Such a force, so that Mulan completely unable to control themselves.
“Lan-er!” Exclaimed Li Shih-yu.
Mu Lan has been pulled out, the whole person hanging in the air, the surrounding storm has become more and more obvious, the fantasy has completely changed. I don
‘t want to. Li Shiyu wants to catch up.
Ji Niang, however, grabbed Li Shiyu at once and said, “Fourth Master, this is an illusion. Everything you see is fake.”
Li Shiyu shook his head, apparently pinned down by the illusion.
“Seventh Master, close your eyes.” Ji Niang shouted at Li Shi-che, “The fourth Master is concerned about his wife, so he’s confused. You won’t. Close your eyes and calm down. Take the fourth Master out of here first. Otherwise, it’s too easy to have problems.”
“I see.” Li Shichu immediately closed his eyes.
After experiencing several illusions, Li Shichu was able to control his emotions. Sure enough, after closing his eyes, everything became dark. Li Shichu could no longer see the illusions outside, and his mind gradually calmed down.
Ji Niang resisted in the illusion.
It was obvious that Li Shiyu could not be held off: “Seventh Master, Fourth Master is three paces directly in front of you.”
“Good.” Li Shi Che answered, quickly rushed up, controlled Li Shiyu, but the whole process, Li Shi Che did not open his eyes.
Li Shiyu was resisting desperately, and Li Shiyu directly gave Li Shiyu an acupoint, but Li Shiyu could not move. The strength in
Ji Niang’s hands then relaxed, and she did not want to pull down the corner of her clothes, directly covering Li Shiyu’s eyes.
After everything became dark, Li Shiyu gradually calmed down.
“Fourth Master, step back and leave the middle of the lake.” Ji Niang ordered.
“Where is Lan?” Li Shiyu asked directly.
Ji Niang was also very calm. “Madam knows how to do illusions. She can walk out. Fourth Master doesn’t need to worry. If we’re all implicated here, I’m afraid it’s the trouble for Madam.”
Ji Niang said directly.
Li Shiyu said nothing more in Ji Niang’s words.
Ji Niang was sure that Li Shiyu’s mind had calmed down. Then she and Li Shiyu opened their mouths and said, “Seventh Master, you can untie Fourth Master’s acupoint. We don’t have much time.”
“Good.” Li Shichu answered.
Soon, Li Shichu untied Li Shiyu’s acupoint, Li Shiyu resumed action, three people did not hesitate, Ji Niang in the back, command the front of the two people, quickly walked out from the middle of the lake.
All the way out to the middle of the lake.
And the storm in the middle of the lake still exists, just like the stormy waves on the sea, which makes people feel nervous
, but the place where they stand becomes quiet, and nothing has changed.
Under such circumstances, Ji Niang can clearly hear the voice of Mu Lan, in Ji Niang’s heart.
Ji Niang, take them away. I’ll find a way out. Mulan’s voice is not obvious, a little weak, “while the illusion outside has not disappeared, you can go back the way you came.”
“I see.” Ji Niang returned to Mu Lan.
Mu Lan’s voice was even weaker: “Thank you.”
“Take care of yourself, madam.”
“Good.”
……
Then Ji Niang could no longer hear Mu Lan’s voice. She turned quickly and looked at Li Shi-che and Li Shi-yu. “Fourth Master, Seventh Master, let’s go to the birch forest first.”
“I want to wait for Lan’er.” Li Shiyu said directly.
“It is the same to go up and wait.” Ji Niang was very insistent. “Madam can do illusions, but none of us can. It’s not a long-term solution here. If Madam can come down, naturally she can go up.”. Besides, madam said, there are still superior people here. So don’t worry.
How can we not worry, but only in this way can we eliminate the worries of Li Shiyu and Li Shiyu.
Li Shiyu naturally understands this truth.
He did not open his eyes, but he could hear Mu Lan’s voice faintly: “Go up, I will come back safe and sound.”. Ao Feng is still waiting for me. Isn’t it?
This, let Li Shiyu finally turn around.
At the moment Li Shiyu turned around, Ji Niang breathed a sigh of relief.
She was really afraid that she couldn’t persuade Li Shiyu.
Soon, Li Shi Che and Ji Niang also followed Li Shiyu toward the birch forest, they still seem to step on the clouds, as when they came, and did not change.
When the three of them walked out of the cliff and returned to the birch forest, they looked at the birch forest again, only to find that all the illusions had disappeared.
They are real, and this abyss is real.
Li Shiyu’s face is dignified.
Ji Niang and Li Shichu did not speak, and the three of them stood quietly.
The imperial seal was held tightly in Li Shiyu’s hand.
If Mu Lan had an accident,
Li Shiyu would not dare to think about it. In
the birch forest, the wind came, but with bursts of cold, the sky seemed to begin to fall snowflakes, one by one.
……
At that time, in the middle of the lake, the
sky collapsed in front of Mu Lan, and all the water in the lake flooded Mu Lan’s line of sight and splashed on Mu Lan all the time.
Mu Lanming knew that this was a fantasy, but it was really scary to touch. Making a fantasy in a fantasy, that is, the person behind it is going to start, so the only person here who can make a fantasy is himself, so is he going to kill himself?
Mu Lan wanted to resist, but in the fantasy, she could not resist, obviously the other side’s ability is far higher than their own, she can not even feel the truth and falsehood. The only good thing is that Ji Niang has left with Li Shiyu and Li Shichu.
At least if something does happen, she’s the only one.
In that case, today is not in vain.
And in front of the lake suddenly began to crack, the middle of the hard split out of a road, and the road all the way to the end, like another endless abyss, but Mu Lan now in addition to go inside, it seems that there is no other way.
Because everything around her was pushing her forward.
Want to resist such a fantasy, but powerless, her whole body seems to be out of control, Mu Lan is almost passive and desperate toward the split water road, and as Mu Lan walks, the side of the waterway is gradually closed up.
Until Mu Lan was forced into another fantasy, this time, when Mu Lan landed, although illusory, but it is very real, and even more is a familiar feeling. Everything
around was cleared, even the noise before did not exist, everything was white, falling snow, like the frontier fortress in winter. Who
is it? Why don’t you come out? What’s the point of covering up? Mu Lan opened his mouth calmly.
In Mu Lan’s voice fell, she instantly quiet, can not believe looking at everything in front of her, a white-haired old man came out, facing the present time, it seems much more calm.
More correctly, it is meaningful to look at Mu Lan’s eyes.
It’s like I haven’t seen you for a long time, and it’s more like everything now is like the old man in front of me.
“You..” Mu Lan did not know each other, she slightly screwed up her brows and watched the old man come in front of her.
“Long time no see, Long Son.” The old man’s tone was familiar.
Mu Lan is stupefied: “Are you?”
“You are a member of the Dragon Clan, and I am Xuankong, the elder of the Dragon Clan.” Xuankong opened his mouth lightly.
Mu Lan knows that he is the identity of the dragon clan, but also this year, but for the previous memory, Mu Lan is completely absent.
After all, the dragon race has disappeared for thousands of years.
Then the person who appears in front of you —
“It’s normal that you don’t remember me. The memory of the dragons, you have long ceased to exist.” Xuankong continued, “That’s the memory of your first life.”. And in this life, a thousand years have passed, and I’ve been waiting for you here for a thousand years.
Mu Lan is still a little confused.
Xuankong was not in a hurry. He explained slowly, “Didn’t Shao Yun tell you about your first life?”? If my calculations are correct, he was reincarnated with the memory of his first life.
“Yes.” Mu Lan answered. It was
also at that time that Mu Lan knew the past between himself and Li Shiyu, as well as his own identity, and the demise of the Dragon Clan.
“It’s good to know.” Xuankong nodded, “I don’t have to repeat it if I know. At that time, you violated the law of heaven and were finally confined here. The world of ice and snow here was the place where you were imprisoned for a thousand years.”. The Queen Mother asked you, did you regret it? You said you didn’t regret it, but the Queen Mother took back your memory and banished you to the world. From then on, you were no different from ordinary people.
Mu Lan listened quietly, and that was all that Long Shaoyun had never told himself.
“Before you were banished to the mortal world, you stayed here for a thousand years. As an elder of the Dragon Clan, I should be punished. I have also been here with you for a thousand years.” Xuankong has some feelings.
「……」
You haven’t been able to wash away your attachment and love for Li Shiyu for a thousand years. Can’t stop your second life. You know that this is your second life.
Xuankong looked at Mulan and said, “And you have been in love for three generations.”
“I know.” Mu Lan nodded.
Xuankong also nodded: “I can’t see your love in the third life, just like when you are frozen, I know you have a second life, but I can’t see what can happen in this second life.”
「……」
“Dragon, do you know what three generations of love means?” Xuankong’s eyes looked intently at Mu Lan, and his voice was extremely slow.
Mulan shook his head. “Have you been with him for three lifetimes?”
“No.” Xuankong denied, “Li Shiyu is the doom of your destiny. Your love for three generations means that you have to go through disasters. If you pass all three disasters, you will achieve success in the third time.”
Mulan was startled: “So we passed this life?”
Xuankong laughed and said meaningfully, “Long’er, you can’t be counted as the Queen Mother, and you can’t play with God. Otherwise, how can you have three generations?”. I’ve let you go through three generations in peace, so why should there be so much trouble?
This, let Mu Lan have some cold feeling, but more is frightened.
She did not speak, quietly looking at Xuankong.
“You are not destined to be well in this life.” Xuankong said calmly, “But I didn’t expect what would happen later.”
Mu Lan shook his head. “It’s impossible. We all have pride. Elder Xuankong, you must be lying to me.” In the
first life, I also told you that you and Li Shiyu would not die well, and that’s what you answered me. But it turns out that I’m not wrong. You and Li Shiyu really didn’t end well, did they? Do you still believe that in this life?
Xuankong is not impatient to ask Mu Lan, so long time to come, Xuankong in the face of Mu Lan and Li Shiyu in the matter, has long been calm.
“Impossible. If something goes wrong, what will Ao Feng do?” Mulan took a step back.
Xuankong heaved a deep sigh: “Long’er, Li Shiyu is your destiny. No one can change it.”
“I don’t believe it!” Mu Lan said directly and firmly, “No matter what the situation is, I will be with him, even if this is really our second life, we have come so hard, God will not be so cruel!”
In the face of Mu Lan’s firmness, Xuankong quietly opened his mouth: “Even if you have paid a tragic price in this life, even if you have gone up in smoke, do you still want to be with Li Shiyu?”
“Yes.” Mu Lan answered, “No matter what the result is, I will be with him.”. I don’t think there could be a worse outcome than this.
They put it to death and then lived.
They walked all the way, almost all bloody, even from Kyoto to escape, in the frontier, they also wasted a long time, and now, they really together.
Even so, the future may also face a bloody storm, how can Mu Lan retreat.
Absolutely not.
“Don’t you regret it?” Xuankong looked at Mu Lan for a moment and asked directly.
Mulan shook his head and said firmly, “I won’t regret it. I’ll never regret it.”
“Good.” Xuankong nodded, “Long Er, I can’t change your mind. No matter whether you are reincarnated or confined, you are so firm to Li Shiyu.”
This also made Xuankong a big surprise.
A thousand years, can not be reversed, he knows that such a doomed thing, will go on.
Finally, Xuankong sighed, “Long Er, I have stayed here for a thousand years, waiting for you to come back. I have exhausted my essence, and it is impossible for me to continue to protect you.”. The next road, you have to go on your own. No matter what the future holds, it’s your choice. You can’t blame anyone.
Mu Lan did not speak.
But her firmness to Li Shiyu did not change because of Xuankong’s words.
She looked at Xuankong, and Xuankong did not avoid Mu Lan’s eyes. It
was a long time before Mu Lan said, “Elder, then you..”
“I’ve been here for a thousand years, but I still can’t bring you back. My mission is done. Naturally, I can’t stay here.” Xuankong smiled. “The dragon doesn’t have to worry about me.”
“I-” Mu Lan closed her eyes, and then she knelt down. “Elder, I’m sorry. Forgive my selfishness for harming the whole clan. But I have never regretted it.
Xuankong helped Mu Lan up and said, Get up. These things are meant to be. Even if it wasn’t for you, the dragons would have suffered a great disaster. There is no escape from this fate.
Mu Lan’s eyes were slightly red.
She looked at Xuankong quietly.
Xuankong did not speak, but slowly released Mulan’s hand: “Dragon, take care.”
Originally, Mu Lan was within reach of Xuankong’s hand, but now, such a touch has gradually become illusory, Xuankong’s figure has gradually become illusory, and the illusion in front of him has merged into one.
Long’er, the existence of the illusion was originally meant to help you find the imperial seal. But I can’t give you a hint. It’s your life to find the seal. You can go back the way you came. There’s no risk along the way. You’ll go back to the birch forest and be reunited with him.
Xuankong said, his voice getting lighter and lighter.
“Elder.” Mu Lan almost cried out.
“Go back.” Xuankong urged Mulan, “My illusion can’t hold much more. Go back quickly. When my illusion disappears, you really can’t go back.” Only then did
Mu Lan turn around and walk out of the fantasy world step by step. When he
reached the door, Mulan looked at Xuankong and said, “Elder, can I ask you one last thing?”
“You say.” Xuankong answered.
“Will he lose this time?” Mu Lan asked.
Xuankong smiled, “No.”. He will achieve what he wants. He has been an emperor for three generations, so how could he be defeated?
Mu Lan was relieved.
“Long’er, you are always putting your own life and death at risk, thinking only of him.” Xuankong sighed again.
Mu Lan did not speak.
Xuankong waved at Mulan and said, “All right, go up quickly.”
“Thank you, Elder.” With red eyes, Mu Lan knelt down and kowtowed to Xuankong, then stood up again and walked out of Xuankong’s illusion.
But outside the illusion, it is still the illusion created by Xuankong.
Just as when she came, Mu Lan walked up to the previous fantasy, but Mu Lan’s speed was much faster, and compared with the caution when she came down, she was familiar with the road, especially knowing that the fantasy was no threat to herself.
Approaching the birch forest, Mu Lan suddenly glanced at the direction of the cliff edge, a touch of red figure looked at Mu Lan.
That’s Rong Fei.
Rong Fei smiled at Mu Lan, Mu Lan nodded, and then Rong Fei urged Mu Lan to leave.
Mu Lan did not hesitate any more and walked quickly in the direction of the birch forest. At the moment when
Mu Lan entered the birch forest, all the illusions below disappeared. She tried to touch the ground with her feet, but she could no longer step on any ground. It was a misty thing. If she fell down, it would really be an abyss.
Mu Lan takes a deep breath.
Mu Lan looked at the cliff quietly for a long time before he turned around. The voice of Li Shih-yu,
“Lan’er,” had already come from behind Mu Lan.
On the side of Li Shiyu, Li Shichu and Ji Niang both breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Shiyu had already held Mu Lan tightly in his arms: “You’re scaring me.” Didn’t
I come back? I have said that I will not leave Ao Feng, nor will I leave you. I will certainly come back. Mu Lan smiled.
Li Shiyu did not speak, mandible against Mu Lan’s hair, tightly holding Mu Lan, how did not let go of the meaning.
Mu Lan was held by Li Shiyu.
But Ji Niang and Li Shi Che did not speak.
Ji Niang knew very well that Mu Lan’s return was not so calm on the surface, but Mu Lan did not say. But Mu Lan did not say, Ji Niang will not ask more.
It wasn’t until Li Shi-yu let go of Mu Lan that Li Shi-che stepped forward and calmly said, “It’s really great that the fourth sister-in-law can come back safely.”
Mu Lan smiled, but said nothing.
Li Shiyu opened his mouth to speak, but Mu Lan had already taken the initiative to say before Li Shiyu opened his mouth: I just waited inside for a while, and after the illusion disappeared, I came out. Maybe when you left, the illusion just broke down, so I couldn’t get out.
Li Shiyu twisted his eyebrows and looked at Mu Lan.
Then the illusion disappeared and I came out. The illusion outside was about to crack, but fortunately it only disappeared the moment I came up. Mu Lan explained.
A half-truth explanation. She
did not tell Li Shiyu that she had met Xuankong, nor did she tell him that Rong Fei stood on the edge of the cliff and watched them.
Rong Fei saw himself, presumably Rong Fei also saw Li Shiyu.
This is for Rong Fei, probably for such a long time, the first time can be so fair and aboveboard looking at Li Shiyu, Rong Fei should be satisfied.
However, there are still regrets.
In such an explanation, Li Shiyu believed it. There’s
nothing to doubt. “Let’s go back first,”
he said quickly.
“Good.” Mu Lan answered.
The imperial seal is already in hand. They really want to go back. A lot of things have to be discussed in the long run after they go back. They don’t have much time to delay.
Quiet, Li Shiyu helped Mu Lan into the carriage, and soon a group of people sped away in the direction of the mansion.
…… Inside
the mansion. The door of the
house was closed, and there was no one else in the house, still only the four of them.
Li Shiyu took out half of the imperial seal he had got in Dazhou and put it on the table, and the other half of the imperial seal he got today was also put on the table. When the
two seals are put together, it is the complete imperial seal of Dazhou handed down from ancient times.
When the two seals touched together, something incredible happened. The seal gave out a soft light. Everyone was slightly stunned and looked at each other. For a while and a half, they could not react.
But no one came forward and just looked at it. After the light of the
seal disappeared, Li Shiyu stepped forward and found that the seal had merged from two halves into a complete seal.
Above is the seal of the founding emperor of Dazhou.
“It’s amazing.” Li Shi-chul could not help exclaiming.
Li Shiyu did not speak and watched quietly.
Mu Lan stood beside Li Shiyu, and as she looked at him again, her eyes softened: “This is the destiny of heaven, so this time back to Beijing, we will be successful.”
Li Shi-yu’s eyes also look very clear: “I’m sure I will.”
After that, Li Shiyu did not say much, and quickly put the seal away carefully and put it into the secret compartment.
“Ji Niang, help them come in from Chuanrong Temple.” Li Shiyu ordered lightly.
“Good.” Ji Niang answered.
Ji Niang turned and went out.
Mu Lan is a little tired, also did not continue to stay here, and Ji Niang went out together, went back to the house to rest for a while, then went to look for Ao Feng.
The little fellow obviously also felt the mother’s happiness, a strong smile at Mu Lan, see Mu Lan to come, the hand took the initiative to stretch up.
Mu Lan quietly hugged the proud wind, looking at his eyes, full of love, more is reluctant.
As these things are resolved one by one, it also means that the time for them to return to Beijing is closer. After returning to Beijing, what they are waiting for is the opportunity. Everything is settled before they can see Ao Feng again.
“Ao Feng, when your mother is not here, you must be obedient. Don’t make trouble for others. Remember to think of your mother.” As Mu Lan spoke, her eyes turned slightly red. “Could it be that when Niang came back to pick you up, you already didn’t recognize her?”
Ao Feng did not understand and was still laughing.
As long as it is Mu Lan, Ao Feng will smile very brightly. “Madam,” said the
nurse, “you worry too much. The young master is so kind to you that he will surely remember you.
Mu Lan smiled very gently, teasing the proud wind, especially cherishing every minute and every second of the time. Even
when Li Shiyu returned to the house from the study, Mu Lan did not notice.
“Play with Ao Feng?” Li Shiyu bowed his head and asked, but he did not take the initiative to touch Aofeng, lest the smelly boy burst into tears again.
Ao Feng cried, and it was Mu Lan who was distressed.
Li Shiyu doesn’t want to make Mu Lan feel bad.
Mu Lan said, “I want to spend more time with Ao Feng. Otherwise, I won’t see Ao Feng for at least a few months.”. I’m afraid Ao Feng won’t even recognize me.
“He’s the one you’re trying to protect. If he doesn’t know you, give him a good beating.” Li Shiyu said simply.
Nonsense. Mu Lan looks angrily at Li Shiyu. “Ao Feng is my child. How can I beat him casually?”
Li Shiyu smiled and did not speak, just so quietly looking at Mu Lan, his eyebrows and eyes only Mu Lan, and no one else. But
Mu Lan was embarrassed by Li Shiyu: “What are you always looking at me for?”
“I like to see you.” Li Shiyu said directly. Suddenly there was a hint of ambiguity in the
air.
The nurse stepped forward and said, “Madam, give the young master to the maidservant, and you can chat with the fourth Master.”
Mu Lan also did not refuse, gave Ao Feng to the nurse, Ao Feng some reluctantly, instantly flat mouth to cry.
The hand stretched out to Mu Lan.
“Ao Feng is good.” Mu Lan coaxed.
Ao Feng seemed to understand, and not noisy, obediently let the nurse take himself away.
“Don’t spoil Aofeng all the time. You’ll spoil him later.” Li Shiyu said it directly.
Mu Lan looked at Li Shiyu and said, “How can I spoil Aofeng? I don’t see Aofeng much every day.” Who
is holding on to the wind of pride every day? Who has to watch Aofeng every day, and when Aofeng cries and makes a scene, he will come to coax him? Who can’t bear to part with a little bit of Aofeng’s temper? Li Shi-yu asks directly, “Now you see, Ao Feng can’t have a little temper or grievance, otherwise he will cry loudly.”
Similarly, it is not to teach Mu Lan, but to explain the facts and Mu Lan.
Mulan listened quietly, his voice still gentle: “Because I don’t want to give up, it will take a long time to see Ao Feng.”
This quieted Li Shiyu, who then hugged Mu Lan: “It won’t be long, believe me.”
“Mmm.” Mu Lan answered.
It won’t be long.
Elder Xuankong said that Li Shiyu was the supreme emperor, so he could sit on the throne of the emperor in this life. So this time I will go back smoothly.
“In half a year at the most, we’ll be able to bring Aofeng back from the frontier fortress.” Li Shiyu thought for a moment. “From here to Kyoto, plus the delays and accidents on the way, it will take more than two months at most. The rest, I think, will not be too long. When everything is stable, it will be all right.”
Mu Lan nodded.
The room was quiet.
……
Another half month has passed.
After finding the imperial seal, Li Shiyu became exceptionally busy, and the movement of the tribes and the frontier became obvious.
Mulan knew that this was a signal.
Li Shiyu prepared for so long, for this day.
This night, until midnight, Li Shiyu did not come back, Mu Lan can not help but worry, let Linglong to inquire, and then Mu Lan just know, Li Shiyu is in Murong Yufeng that discussion, Mu Lan this just rest assured.
She went to Aofeng to have a look, and then walked towards her own room.
When Mu Lan walked outside the courtyard, he saw Li Shiyu standing in place, two people’s eyes looked at each other, and then Mu Lan trotted toward Li Shiyu, Li Shiyu hugged Mu Lan, then a full.
“You’re back?” Mu Lan looked up and asked.
Li Shi-yu hummed: “I’m back.”
“Are things all settled?”
“It’s settled.”
“You’ve been drinking.”
“a little.”
……
Just an ordinary dialogue, but Mu Lan’s words are all concerned about Li Shiyu, the two chatted for a while, but did not go, standing in place.
Suddenly, Mu Lan quieted down and looked at the sky. “Today is the sixteenth.”. The moon on the sixteenth is the roundest.
Li Shiyu followed Mu Lan’s eyes to look up, hum.
Indeed, the moon on the fifteenth is not as round as that on the sixteenth.
“How fast the days go by! How many full moons are there in the frontier fortress?” Mu Lan some can not remember, always feel before Kyoto things seem to be yesterday.
And now Ao Feng has a full moon.
Suddenly, Mu Lan found that it seemed that he was reluctant to part with the frontier fortress.
Li Shi-yu felt so clearly that he stepped forward and put his arms around Mu Lan. “In the future, we can come back here for a short stay.”
“Good.” Mulan smiled and looked up at the man. “How do you know what I’m thinking?”
“You are my wife. How can I not know what you are thinking?” Li Shiyu said directly, looking at Mu Lan’s eyes is not a moment.
Mu Lan also followed with a gentle laugh.
She quietly leaned on Li Shiyu’s chest, and they hugged each other for a while, but neither of them spoke. In such silence, Mu Lan could clearly hear Li Shiyu’s heartbeat.
Close at hand. For
a long time, it was Li Shiyu who suddenly broke the silence: “Lan’er, I haven’t seen you dance for a long time.”
Mu Lan looked at Li Shiyu somewhat inexplicably.
I haven’t seen it for a long time.
The last time was before leaving Kyoto, in the secret room of Yu Wang Fu, Mu Lan danced, accompanied by Li Shiyu, but in that case, the mood was quite different from now.
At that time, it was always purposeful and somewhat nervous.
And now, everything seems to be calm.
“Want to do what?” Mu Lan came to his senses and looked at Li Shiyu with a smile.
Li Shi-yu quieted down for a moment and then said, “Would you please ask your wife to dance?”
“Will the husband play music for me?” Mu Lan learned Li Shiyu’s tone and asked in reply.
Li Shiyu chuckled and said, “Why not?”
Mu Lan bowed his head with a smile, quickly looked at Li Shiyu, and calmly walked to a wide place in the courtyard, where the zither had been placed all the time, when Mu Lan had nothing to do, he would also play here, but rarely used it.
Li Shiyu walked up to the zither.
With the thought of playing music, Mu Lan danced slowly.
As if they are born for each other, do not need too many words, can be unusual tacit understanding.
Li Shiyu’s rhythm is also faster and faster, Mu Lan’s dancing posture can always keep up with such music, do not know who is who, in a word, they can fit each other.
It was not until the music stopped that Mu Lan panted.
Li Shiyu held Mu Lan in his arms and kissed her lightly on her forehead.
Mu Lan did not speak and let the man kiss himself.
Suddenly, the soles of Mu Lan’s feet fell, she looked at Li Shiyu, Li Shiyu had picked up Mu Lan around the waist and walked towards the house.
Affectionate people, do not need too many words, can easily understand each other’s ideas.
At the moment when Li Shiyu picked up Mu Lan, Mu Lan’s cheeks were slightly red, which was a kind of unnatural shyness.
Li Shiyu also noticed it.
He chuckled, bowed his head and kissed, “I love you.”
Mu Lan’s face is more red, her hand beats Li Shiyu’s chest, seems to be angry, but there is no strength, she bites the lip, does not open the mouth.
Like a little woman’s shyness.
Such Mulan is rare. The spoiling in
Li Shiyu’s eyes also became more and more obvious. Soon, they walked into the house, and Li Shiyu gently put Mu Lan on the bed.
A long, long time. The moonlight outside the
house is very gentle. The stars in the
sky also twinkle.
It seems that everything in this world is empty, for Mu Lan and Li Shiyu to be alone.
It was not until the fireworks fell that everything finally calmed down.
…… In the hot spring pool behind the
house, this is the first time Mu Lan entered the hot spring pool, the feeling of fatigue and pain was instantly dissipated, accompanied by Li Shiyu. The
hot spring water soaked through their hair. When I
looked up, I saw each other’s affectionate eyes, and no one broke the ambiguous atmosphere now.
“Are you ready?” Mu Lan suddenly asked for no reason.
Li Shiyu knew what Mulan was talking about and said, “Don’t worry.”
Mu Lan nodded. The
atmosphere quieted down again.
She leaned against Li Shiyu as if she were thinking. Li Shiyu could see at a glance that Mu Lan was thinking. She asked softly, “What are you thinking about?”? You are not allowed to think about it.
“When have I ever thought about anything?” Mu Lan asked Li Shiyu with a straight face.
Li Shiyu chuckled.
Really very few, because Mu Lan’s character is not like cranky people, there is this time, Mu Lan will calmly think about the difficulties encountered in front of him, and then solve them one by one, rather than fall into cranky.
This is not in line with Mulan’s character.
“Then what are you thinking?” Li Shiyu asked.
Mu Lan quieted down for a moment and then looked up at Li Shiyu. “I was wondering, if someone knew I was the Dragon Lady, would my identity one day become an unstable factor for you?”
It’s not impossible to happen.
When Li Shiyu came to power, it was absolutely impossible for all the remaining members of Li Shiyuan to be wiped out overnight.
Just like Li Shiyuan’s reign, it is impossible to eliminate all the people of Li Shiyu. There are always those who are in the dark, not so easily found, and it always takes time.
Therefore, once the identity of Mu Lan is revealed, after all, in the cold palace and prison, Mu Lan used illusions, many people saw it.
Once there is a rumor, perhaps one day, it will become a threat to Li Shiyu.
After all, just as there was no room for such a witch as Rong Fei in the imperial palace, there was no room for such a dragon lady as Mu Lan.
When it’s all right, it’s calm.
Once something happens, no one can control it.
Mu Lan’s worry is not without reason.
“If one day something like this happens,” says Mu Lan, quietly looking at Li Shiyu.
But as soon as the voice came out, Li Shiyu suddenly lowered his head and kissed Mu Lan: “Don’t talk nonsense. This thing won’t happen. One day when I’m here, no one will tell you what to do.”. And I will clean up the rest of it. You don’t have to worry about that.
Li Shiyu looked down at Mu Lan and gave a positive answer.
He knew what Mulan was worried about.
When the matter of Rong Fei, Li Shiyu is not completely unknown, but the specific things, know is not clear.
“What happened to my mother will not happen to you again.” Li Shi-yu quietly said, “Never.”
But Mu Lan saw Li Shiyu mentioned the matter of Rong Fei, quiet, biting his lips, quietly looking at Li Shiyu, as if thinking about something.
“Don’t think too much.” Li Shiyu said directly.
Mu Lan sighed silently for a long time before looking at Li Shiyu: “I said, if, if the mother is still alive, then we will welcome the mother back to the palace and give her a new identity.”
Li Shiyu looked down at Mu Lan, always feeling that Mu Lan knew something, but for a while and a half it was not clear.
It was a long time before Li Shiyu answered, “Good.”
This is also inevitable.
But in Li Shiyu’s view, this is simply impossible, Qu Huachang’s character, it is impossible to let go of Rong Fei, so Rong Fei can not live in this world.
If really alive, as a son, Li Shiyu must welcome Rong Fei back.
He is a king, and no one can say anything about what he has done. And when Rong Fei returns to the palace, she will naturally be beautiful and beautiful.
“The first emperor.” Suddenly, Mu Lan quieted down for a moment and then said, “Maybe the first emperor is not what you see.”
Li Shiyu did not speak.
“I think he should love his mother.” Mu Lan said, It’s just his identity that gives him a lot of helplessness. Just like you told me, one day, if you are on the throne, then you will have a lot of helplessness.
“Why are you suddenly talking to me about these things?” Li Shiyu listened quietly and suddenly asked in a low voice.
Mu Lan thought for a moment and then answered, “It’s nothing. I suddenly thought of it.”. Thinking that the late emperor had been calling you to his bedside before he died, I always felt that he should have cared about Concubine Yung and you, but for some helpless reason, he had ignored your existence for so many years.
This is also a rectification of Li Changtian’s name.
Li Shiyu was quiet and did not say anything, as if he did not object or agree.
Before chatting with Li Changtian in the bedroom, Li Shiyu suddenly remembered that when Mu Lan said so, he seemed to realize that Li Changtian had been paving the way for himself.
As for the position of emperor, Li Changtian did not give it.
Because Li Changtian knew that there was no alternative to the throne, but he also hoped that Li Shiyu could fight for it, so that it could be justified. If it was given by Li Changtian, Li Shiyu’s position would not last long. People in the
Qu family will not let Li Shiyu go.
At that time, it was dangerous.
“All right.” Mu Lan answered, “These things are all over. Let’s not talk about them.”
“Mmm.” Li Shiyu answered. They were
still soaking in the hot spring pool and embracing each other quietly.
…… The days
in the frontier fortress passed in a flash.
Ao Feng has been a hundred days.
He has changed from a wrinkled little boy to a round and plump baby. Aofeng is not noisy. Compared with other children, Aofeng is much easier to take care of. He
did not cause any trouble to Mu Lan and Li Shiyu.
The more so, the more reluctant Mu Lan.
And their departure back to Beijing is just a matter of tomorrow.
On the day before his departure, Mu Lan held Aofeng in his arms and never let go. He watched quietly and accompanied Aofeng. Even if he watched Aofeng fall asleep, Mu Lan felt satisfied.
The nurse also knew that they would leave tomorrow, so she didn’t come all day, except when feeding, most of the time, Aofeng was here in Mulan.
And Li Shiyu is making the final deployment.
When Li Shiyu came back, it was already night, and Ao Feng fell asleep in Mu Lan’s arms, as if he was particularly greedy for Mu Lan’s embrace.
These three months, Li Shiyu in order to let Mu Lan can have a good rest, so did not let Mu Lan at night with Ao Feng, at night, Ao Feng is with the nurse.
This is the first time that Mu Lan took the initiative to sleep with Ao Feng at night. When
Li pushed the door open and entered, Mu Lan had already opened his eyes: “Are you back?”
Her voice was very low, as if she was afraid to wake up Aofeng.
Li Shi-yu murmured and went to the bed. “Why don’t you let the nurse take Ao Feng to bed?”
“Tomorrow we’re going back to Beijing, and I want to spend more time with Ao Feng.” Mu Lan said it directly.
Li Shiyu is very helpless to look at Mu Lan, but ultimately did not say anything, Ao Feng is still sleeping very deep, completely occupied the position of Li Shiyu.
Li Shiyu looked at Mu Lan and then said, “Excuse me, lady, where am I going to sleep tonight?”
Mu Lan this just realizes what, some have the nerve to look at Li Shiyu, the implication is already very clear, Li Shiyu shakes his head helplessly, suddenly approached Mu Lan.
Mulan was nervous. “What are you doing?”
Since that time they broke the precepts, Li Shiyu appears to be more active, such things have become a matter of course, and now, abruptly by the arms of the little guy to destroy.
Li Shiyu can’t tell the taste. Ao Feng on the
bed, is his own son, also can not always because of such a thing, his son lost his temper, if so, I am afraid Mu Lan will not be good.
But Li Shiyu can also understand Mu Lan.
After all, it will take six months at the soonest to see Ao Feng again.
Mu Lan’s reluctance, Li Shiyu also understand.
Looking at the way Mu Lan was protecting Ao Feng, Li Shiyu quieted down: “You can’t let me sleep outside tonight.”
Even when they argued, Li Shiyu fell asleep in the house and never left the house.
Not to mention now.
But Mu Lan twisted his eyebrows and looked at Li Shiyu. Li Shiyu calmly changed his clothes and went to bed. Ao Feng was slightly pushed in by Li Shiyu. With a slight movement, Ao Feng began to make a noise, as if he felt Li Shiyu’s breath. His mouth was flat in an instant, and he was about to cry out.
Mu Lan looked at Li Shiyu angrily.
After that, Mu Lan hugged Ao Feng, while Li Shiyu gently hugged the mother and son into his arms. His voice was much more gentle: “Go to bed early. Tomorrow morning we will leave for Beijing.”
Mu Lan hum.
But Mu Lan was not sleepy.
Li Shiyu also did not fall asleep, just closed his eyes and dozed off.
“Are you asleep?” Mu Lan suddenly opened his mouth.
Li Shiyu hum, is a response to Mu Lan.
Mulan quieted down and finally said nothing: “It’s all right, go to sleep.”
Li Shiyu responded to Mu Lan with a tight hand, but without saying anything, he gently kissed Mu Lan on the forehead: “I’ve arranged it here. Don’t worry about Aofeng. Nothing will happen.”
“Good.”
“In half a year, we will definitely come back to pick up Ao Feng.”
“Good.”
……
The two of them talked in detail, and Aofeng fell asleep quietly, while the moon outside the window was still big and round, and it was a full moon. The coldness of
winter has disappeared, and spring blossoms have long been outside.
Everything also means being alive and starting again.
……
–
The second day.
Li Shiyu and Mu Lan set off for Beijing, and all the people were ready to go.
Wang took Wang Rong son walked out from the mansion, sat on the carriage, this is the first time after the incident, Wang took Wang Rong son walked out from the mansion.
Wang Rong’er already looks silly and crazy.
See people in the silly smile, and before is completely different.
Wang looked at Wang Rong son can not help but some sad, but ultimately did not say anything. When she saw Mu Lan, she paid her respects to him. “I’ve seen you, madam.”
“Lady Wang is exempt from courtesy.” Mu Lan said directly, “We will set out today and arrive at General Wang. It will take about half a month. There will be bumps along the way. Lady Wang should be more careful. If something happens, she should tell the accompanying slaves or me at the first time.”. “
Mu Lan nodded his head and said,” When I see General Wang, I’ll leave everything to Lady Wang. ”
“Naturally, I will do my best.” Wang Shi answered.
Mu Lan did not say anything, nodding his head. The slave on
one side had already waited for Wang to get into the carriage, and the curtain of the carriage had come down.
Then Mulan looked at Linglong and said, “You follow Lady Wang.”
Linglong didn’t ask much: “Yes, the maidservant knows.”
This is just in case.
Although Mu Lan knew that Wang could not change any new tricks, but it did not mean that it was foolproof, so everything had to be done in front, if there was really any abnormality, then Linglong could control the situation at the first time.
This is why Mu Lan wants Linglong to follow Lady Wang.
They went all the way back, very difficult and dangerous, so it is impossible to make any more mistakes, can only minimize all the losses.
Quiet, Mu Lan did not say anything.
Soon, a group of people got into the carriage, and the motorcade walked slowly in the direction of Dazhou.
And Murong Yufeng’s people also personally escorted Li Shiyu all the way to the territory of Dazhou, Murong Yufeng’s team stopped.
Li Shiyu and Murong Yufeng got out of the carriage and bowed with their hands.
Li Shi-yu said, “Thank you, Chief Murong, for seeing me off all the way.”
“You’re welcome.” Murong Yufeng said with a smile, “Fourth Master and his wife have helped the people of the tribe a lot in the frontier fortress. It’s natural for me to escort you here.” As
he spoke, Murong Yufeng looked at Li Shiyu quietly and said, “When Fourth Master ascends the throne, please don’t forget Fourth Master’s promise to me.”
“Of course not.” Li Shiyu answered.
Dazhou will never come into conflict with the tribe, nor will he violate the tribe.
This is Li Shiyu’s promise to Murong Yufeng.
Li Shiyu will do it naturally.
Murong Yufeng nodded and motioned, “The rest of the way is up to the Fourth Master. Take care all the way. I’m here waiting for the good news from the Fourth Master.”
Li Shiyu bowed with his hand and said, “I still need the chief of Murong to take care of the affairs of the mansion.”
“Don’t worry, Fourth Master.” Murong Yufeng made a promise, “If I am here, there will be no accident in the mansion. I will return the whole mansion to you safe and sound.”
“Thank you.” Li Shiyu answered.
After that, the two did not talk again, Li Shiyu re-entered the carriage, Murong Yufeng in situ watched a line of people leave.
It was not until the figure of Li Shiyu’s motorcade disappeared that Murong Yufeng led people back to the tribe.
The motorcade went all the way.
……
Long Shaoyun has long been ready to meet Li Shiyu and others in the town, the gate of the border is open, the surrounding residents cheered.
Li Shiyuan’s tyranny also affected the border town, the town had lost money on materials, but Li Shiyuan’s tax revenue has not been reduced, almost the town’s people can not breathe, coupled with Li Shiyuan’s wanton conscription, the town’s middle-aged labor force are hiding everywhere. If
they leave, there will be no one to work in this family. How can those old and weak women and children live.
And those who originally followed Long Shaoyun soldiers, is more loyal, even if Long Shaoyun was taken military power, they have not changed their loyalty.
Therefore, as soon as Long Shaoyun gave the order, they did not have any objection.
Plus Li Shiyuan is really not a wise king, for them also did not have any proper disposal, but is a laissez-faire state, and this period of time, responsible for the frontier fortress appease, or Long Shaoyun.
What’s more, Li Shiyu is also a member of the Li family and the prince of Dazhou.
And Li Shiyu and Mu Lan’s statement prestige, in the border town is also famous, this person has not arrived, has already spread the reputation. When I see people
again, that kind of conviction becomes obvious.
So here in the town, will not cause any trouble, will not waste a single soldier, can easily pass through the town.
Li Shiyu and Mu Lan are resting in the town.
Then to face is general Wang Yongde’s fortress, as long as the smooth through general Wang Yongde’s fortress, everything becomes easy, along the way, will not encounter any difficulties and obstacles.
Because Mu Zhanxiao, they have arranged all the way.
……
And at that time-
the Great Zhou Emperor’s Palace.
Li Shi-yuan looked angrily at the people kneeling on the ground: “You losers!”
Three months ago, Mu Zhantian died in the frontier fortress, no news of the people sent out, and in these three months, Li Shiyuan did not send less people out, but in these three months, it seems that as long as Li Shiyuan’s people enter the frontier fortress, they never come back, let alone have any news.
This naturally also lets Li Shiyuan not get any news.
“Your Majesty, don’t worry.” Ji Liansha came over leisurely. “I couldn’t feel the poison in Mu Lan’s body, so they didn’t make any movement.”. As for Mu Lan’s child, “
this quieted Ji Liansha:” Either Mu Lan is dead, or the child is gone. ”
Because the poison and the child can not coexist, Mu Lan wants to give birth to the child safely, then the poison will inevitably break out, Mu Lan will die, if the poison leads to the child, then Mu Lan live, the child is gone.
In Ji Liansha’s opinion, there are only two results.
“And this frontier fortress is now all Li Shiyu’s people, and the emperor can’t attack the frontier fortress wantonly, so naturally the people sent there can’t get any useful information.” Ji Liansha was trying to calm Li Shiyuan’s irascible mood. “Besides, your Majesty is already in the position of emperor, and there will be no more changes.”
This is to appease Li Shiyuan’s heart, but the heart of that kind of uneasy premonition, or how can not be dispersed, and finally can only look at Ji Liansha so gloomy.
“Do you know what would happen if something happened in the meantime?” Li Shiyuan asked coldly.
Ji Liansha answered, “Of course I know.”
She looked at Li Shi-yuan with a very calm look in her eyes: “If something goes wrong, I won’t die well, so why should I play with my own life?”
That’s also true.
Li Shiyuan looked at Ji Liansha and kept silent. “Is there no other way to deal with the imperial seal?”
“Didn’t the imperial concubine say that she could only wait for Mu Lan about the imperial seal?” Ji Liansha covered her mouth and snickered. “The emperor is going to ask the imperial concubine.”
This matter, Ji Liansha is pushed cleanly.
She’s not stupid after all.
You know, the purpose of Mu Zhi painting is for the position of empress, naturally there is a way to pinch Li Shiyuan, so between Mu Zhi painting and Li Shiyuan, Ji Liansha does not want to participate. What
Ji Liansha wants is not superficial.
It’s too shallow.
And Ji Liansha’s words made Li Shiyuan narrow his eyes: “Didn’t you say that Mu Lan or the child in her womb would always die?”
“There’s always one left, isn’t there?” Chi Lien-sha laughed. “As for the solution, the imperial concubine said so, so I can only ask the imperial concubine.”
Ji Liansha has no intention of helping.
It’s not that she doesn’t want to help, but that Ji Liansha really can’t figure out the problem. Since Mu knows that she has a good chest, she doesn’t need to make trouble for herself.
You should know that Li Shiyuan was so cruel that he implicated nine clans.
This kind of thing, Mu Zhihua carries it by himself.
Li Shiyuan sank, but did not say anything. Soon, he raised his hand, and Ji Liansha wisely retreated. People still kneeling on the ground
around.
“Send me another man to the frontier fortress!” Li Shiyuan ordered heavily.
“Yes.” The people below answered repeatedly.
Li Shiyuan was not satisfied: “Let the local officials at the lower levels continue to work, and the labor force of every household must be used by me in the army. Next year, I will attack these tribes in the frontier fortress at one stroke.”
“Your Majesty.” The prime minister called Li Shiyuan, “I don’t think it’s right. I’m afraid this matter will have to be discussed in the long run.”. From the time the emperor ascended the throne to the present, there have not been many things to be done, but there have been incidents one after another. If we launch a war rashly, I’m afraid it won’t be so easy to be good, and the people will complain bitterly.
The people are not calm now.
Li Shiyuan’s practice gradually lost the hearts of the people, if it really continues like this, the consequences will be unimaginable.
But Li Shi-yuan didn’t listen: “If I say I’ll do it, I’ll do it. Is there anything wrong with the prime minister?”
The prime minister dare not speak again.
Li Shiyuan’s cruelty, everyone has seen, for the sake of the head on the neck, they really dare not say any more.
Sink, the prime minister quietly retreated to one side.
Li Shiyuan issued a series of orders, but none of them won the hearts of the people. The ministers in one place all looked gloomy, but no one dared to open his mouth. Inside the
Imperial Study, it was even more quiet.
It’s like the calm before the storm.
…… The town
at that time. After three days of rest in situ,
Li Shiyu and others were ready to go, and those who left here were Long Shaoyun and his men. In order not to cause any trouble along the way, they all travel in casual clothes and in batches.
Long Shaoyun and Li Shiyu left first. After
Li Shichu and Rong Jiu broke off, they kept a low profile and did not cause any trouble. After
ten days, Li Shiyu and others had arrived a hundred miles away from Wang Yongde’s station and set up camp. This order was given by Li Shiyu.
Although Lady Wang and Wang Rong’er were in their hands, it did not mean that they would be safe and sound when they entered the fortress where Wang Yongde was stationed. Wang Yongde’s idea of being loyal to Dazhou is deep-rooted. Before seeing anything
again, Li Shiyu’s practice is undoubtedly rebellion, which is absolutely impossible in Wang Yongde’s eyes, and will inevitably lead to some action. If this hurts the harmony, there will be no room for negotiation.
Under such consideration, Li Shiyu chose to stay put.
And this stay is three days.
Li Shi-che was a little worried. He looked at Li Shi-yu for no reason and said, “Fourth Brother, when are we going to wait?”? You can’t wait here all the time, can you? And General Wang doesn’t seem to be making any noise. It’s impossible for General Wang not to know that our people are here. The distance of one hundred Li is almost equal to the border. It is impossible for Wang Yongde, who has experienced hundreds of battles, not to know. Besides, they can walk here smoothly, Wang Yongde must also know clearly that Long Shaoyun has long mutinied, is unconditionally standing here in Li Shiyu.
So it’s not a way for them to be deadlocked here.
“What’s your hurry?” Li Shi-yu looked at Li Shi-che calmly. Li Shi-che was stunned. “I..”
“Long Shao-yun has already gone ahead.” Li Shiyu opened his mouth lightly.
When Li Shi-che came to his senses, he was suddenly enlightened: The relationship between General Long and General Wang has always been good, and it has been like this ever since the old General Long. If General Long can convince General Wang, it will be much easier.
Li Shichu said his understanding.
Li Shi-yu shook his head, took a sip of tea, and looked at the topographic map on the sand table and shook his head: “Not really. If Long Shao-yun could persuade Wang Yung-te, we wouldn’t need to go to such lengths.”
Li Shi-chul looked at Li Shi-yu and listened quietly. To stay put
here is to tell Wang Yung-teh that we are coming. Wang Yongde knew very well what my purpose was, and he was watching and wanted to know what I would do. Three days is a bottom line in each other’s hearts. If Wang Yung-te can loosen up in these three days, then naturally it will be the best. If not, then we will proceed according to the plan.
Li Shi-yu said directly, “Depending on Lady Wang, this may not be possible.”. Just as your fourth sister-in-law expected, if Lady Wang played any tricks, we would be in big trouble. And during our three days here, Wang Yung-teh’s people will also persuade Wang Yung-teh that, after all, everyone can see what is going on in Dazhou.
……
Li Shiyu said slowly.
But all in all, it’s a process.
A step-by-step process.
Wang Yongde is a general, Li Shiyu does not want to have any conflict with Wang Yongde, in addition, here quietly through, will not cause other trouble, can safely arrive in Kyoto. Before arriving
in Kyoto, Li Shiyuan did not know that that was the best policy.
This means that Li Shiyuan has completely lost the hearts of the people, no one stands on the side of Li Shiyuan, the next thing, will become much simpler.
Now big week, in the hands of Li Shiyuan, is already in jeopardy, if Li Shiyu is fighting, will only make big week more dilapidated, big week once the foundation is loose, does not mean that some dissidents will not rebel ahead of time.
On the edge of Li Shiyuan, on that Hall of Golden Bells, Li Shiyuan counted by hand the people who were disloyal to the throne of the emperor, including Mu Hongyuan and the Qu family.
Therefore, before returning to Kyoto, everything must be careful, in order to retain the greatest strength to enter Kyoto.
This is Li Shiyu’s consideration, but also after careful consideration.
Li Shi-chul was suddenly enlightened, and then he quieted down and stood quietly aside.
……
At that time, when
Long Shaoyun arrived at Wang Yongde’s residence, the soldiers outside had already gone in.
“Tell me, General, General Long is here.” The bodyguard said respectfully to Wang Yongde.
Wang Yung-te lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes, but said calmly, “Please.”
The voice fell, the bodyguard has hurriedly turned to go out, Wang Yongde also personally stood up to meet Long Shaoyun. At the border for many years, the Long family and the Wang family were stationed in different fortresses, and the contacts between the two families were naturally close. Wang Yongde is no stranger to Long Shaoyun, and he grew up watching Long Shaoyun. Before
Wang Yongde became a general, he was also a subordinate of the Long family. Therefore, Long Shaoyun came in person, and Wang Yongde could not disappear. But Long Shaoyun’s purpose, Wang Yongde is also aware of, for this, Wang Yongde does not agree.
In Wang Yongde’s thinking, Long Shaoyun had already come in.
“Long time no see, General Wang.” Long Shaoyun bowed with his hand. “Long time no see, General Long,” said
Wang Yung-te, nodding his head.
The two men walked toward the house, and then they sat down on the tea tray. Long Shaoyun was not in a hurry to open his mouth, while Wang Yongde quietly made tea for Long Shaoyun. They drank and chatted about the frontier.
It was not until Wang Yung-te broke the current situation that he quietly opened his mouth and said, “General Long has come here for the sake of Your Highness.”
Wang Yung-te asked directly, “Your Highness has set up camp in a place less than a hundred miles away from me. The implication is self-evident.”. And if your Highness can come to me, it must be General Long who opens the door to greet him, so that he can arrive at me without a sound.
Long Shaoyun listened, just drinking tea quietly, and did not open his mouth.
So, General Long has betrayed Dazhou. Gives an opportunity to those who do the opposite? Wang Yongde’s voice also became fierce, questioning Long Shaoyun. In the face of Wang Yung-te’s questioning,
Long Shao-yun said calmly, “How can Your Highness, the Fourth Royal Highness, say anything?”. I was also in the palace at the time. Wasn’t the prince the one who forced him to abdicate?
“The crown prince is a legitimate crown prince. How can he be forced to abdicate? When the former emperor dies, the crown prince will naturally ascend the throne. This is something that everyone knows.” Wang Yongde spoke directly.
Long Shaoyun was silent and did not speak immediately. Not many people really knew what happened in the palace
at that time. In the eyes of outsiders, the person who forced the palace was Li Shiyu, and then Li Shiyu took the gold medal to save Li Shiyu. Otherwise, there is no such thing now.
Therefore, Wang Yongde’s understanding is not wrong. Wang Yongde is single-minded in the end, what to do, what not to do, it is difficult to be shaken by outsiders.
When Wang Yongde was still following Long Shaoyun’s father, Long Shaoyun was very clear about Wang Yongde’s temper and character, and it was too difficult to change what he had identified.
“General Long, I am staying put because Your Highness is staying put. That doesn’t mean I have any ideas about Your Highness or what I’m going to do.” Wang Yung-te said directly, “If General Long has come to persuade me, then please come back. It’s impossible for me to change my mind.”
「……」
“If your Highness wants to pass through me, he will have to step on my body.” Wang Yung-teh’s face was expressionless. “I don’t want to say much about anything else. I know what the Fourth Royal Highness is like. Please go back and tell the Fourth Royal Highness that it’s better to give up this idea.”. Your Highness’s present forces, if they want to compete with me, will only hurt both sides.
Wang Yung-te spoke directly, and when he looked at Long Shaoyun again, his eyes were also fleeting: “General Long, are you worthy of your father’s inculcation when you betray Dazhou so much?”
Wang Yongde is questioning Long Shaoyun.
Long Shaoyun quieted down and smiled faintly: “General Wang, my father also told me that people should be flexible. If the emperors of this country can no longer benefit the country and the people, but bring disasters, then water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it. Doesn’t General Wang know this truth?”.
This time, it was Wang Yongde who was quiet.
“And doesn’t General Wang know what happened to my father?” Long Shao-yun asked directly, “I’m on the side of the four lords, and naturally I have my reasons. I also want to find out the truth about my father’s accident.”
「……」
“Doesn’t General Wang know who my father is?” Long Shaoyun opened his mouth lightly. “If I tell General Wang that my father had an accident because of the present emperor, would you believe it?”? Today’s emperor has been weakening the power of the dragon family from the very beginning, otherwise, why did the dragon family come here? Why did my mother disappear for no reason?
「……」
Let’s not mention these past events. Can’t General Wang see what the new emperor has done in the year he was registered? Long Shaoyun asked Wang Yongde, “If he were a wise king, why should I bother to do such a thing?”. If he were a wise king, the four royal Highnesses would not oppose him. Has General Wang never heard of what your royal Highnesses and the princess have done in the past year?
……
Long Shaoyun’s words, let the original plausible Wang Yongde quiet, looking at Long Shaoyun, but the surface is always calm, people can not see any emotional reaction.
I don’t know whether I believed it or not, and I can’t guess what Wang Yongde thought.
But Long Shaoyun did not say anything more, and then he stood up, but Wang Yongde also stood up. General
Wang, at this point, I won’t say anything more. Please think about it. But nothing will change in my mind. Long Shao-yun also expressed his attitude: “No matter what happens, I will go back to Beijing with Your Royal Highness.”
“You..” Wang Yongde did not know what to say for a long time.
Long Shaoyun nodded, but without saying anything, he turned and left. Wang Yongde stood in place for a long time, all motionless, looking at the figure of Long Shaoyun leaving, lost in thought. Wang Yongde knows all
these principles.
And long old general’s death, also let Wang Yongde life regret, but for Wang Yongde, he can’t do such a thing, but now the situation, Wang Yongde is also very clear, indeed Li Shiyuan is not satisfactory, is a tyrant, below the people who shout to rebel too much. Is not a
lack of a Li Shiyu.
And Wang Yongde is also very clear, even if the attack is not Li Shiyu, then it will be someone else in the future. Presumably, Li Shiyu is indeed the choice of a wise king. Over the past year, Wang Yongde was not unaware of what Li Shiyu and Mu Lan had done.
But who can guarantee that after Li Shiyu ascended the throne, there would not be any abnormalities.
And Wang Yongde more understand is that if he really let Li Shiyu in the past, then there are two results, one is Li Shiyu won the position, everything is happy, the soldiers here can naturally get the best treatment.
However, if the result is the opposite, then everything becomes uncontrollable, Li Shiyuan will not let go of anyone here, what does this mean, Wang Yongde is very clear, the soldiers here, including him, have to lose their lives.
He can bet on himself, but dare not take the soldiers here to bet, how they are not innocent.
So everything has a causal relationship, and it’s not as simple as saying yes if you want to. He has a lot to think about, especially in Wang Yongde’s present position. While
Wang Yong-te was meditating, suddenly a bodyguard hurried over and said, “General Wang.”
“What happened?” Wang Yongde twisted his eyebrows and immediately asked, looking nervously at the bodyguard.
It can’t be that on this side he didn’t agree to Long Shaoyun’s request, and on the other side Li Shiyu had already raised his troops to attack. If this is really the case-
Wang Yongde heavy, eyebrows and eyes is with a trace of fierce color.
As a result, Wang Yongde was shocked by what the bodyguard said.
Husband.. Madam The guards stammered, “There’s a woman outside who says she’s your wife.”
It took a long time for the guard to smooth his tongue. Everyone
here knows that there was no news of Wang Yongde’s wife and daughter more than ten years ago, and they could not be found anywhere. So for more than ten years, Wang Yongde has long given up, but Wang Yongde has not been continuing, which is the yearning for his wife.
In other words, Wang Yongde also embraced the idea that one day, she could appear in front of him, even though the hope was very slim.
But now the bodyguard suddenly said, so that Wang Yongde is naturally shocked. “What are you talking about?”
He said, his voice a little strained.
“Outside..” The guard continued to repeat.
But Wang Yongde did not wait for the bodyguard to repeat, has hurried to the outside of the mansion, along the way, Wang Yongde’s heartbeat is very fast, the man who has been calm for decades, but this time it seems very nervous.
He was afraid of disappointment and expected to be his wife who had been missing for many years.
All the way to the door of the mansion, when Wang Yongde saw someone, his eyes turned red in an instant. He couldn’t believe what he had seen. He hurried forward, and it took him a long time to find his own voice: “Madam, is it really you?”
“It’s me.” When Lady Wang saw Wang Yongde, she almost broke down in tears.
Until now, she really felt the existence of Wang Yongde, in those days of the frontier fortress, let Lady Wang feel some illusory unreal.
Her hand held Wang Yongde’s hand tightly, and then she threw herself directly into Wang Yongde’s arms: “It’s me, I’m back, I’m back with Rong’er.”
Wang Yongde looked at Lady Wang carefully, and sure enough, the person in front of her was really her husband and wife, and she also said that she had come back with Wang Rong’er.
That is Wang Yongde’s only daughter.
This makes Wang Yongde even more surprised.
“Where is Rong?” Wang Yung-te asked directly, “Madam, what has happened over the years, and where?”
Wang Yongde asked you eagerly.
But Lady Wang was quiet: “Husband, listen to me slowly..”
Lady Wang told Wang Yongde the truth about what had happened in the past ten years. Wang Yongde’s face changed again and again. She could hardly believe that such a thing had happened.
“All this is..” Wang Yongde asked Lady Wang in shock.
“Yes, it’s all done by the prince.” Lady Wang sighed helplessly, “I’m afraid the prince has already had an idea.”. As a woman, I don’t know what happened in the palace, but over the years, it’s been true. Our mother and daughter have escaped death several times, and finally they were saved by Your Highness.
Wang Yongde did not speak, the news came too fast, people were caught off guard.
“Your Highness and the Empress have treated us well. Rong’er’s mental condition is not stable, and she is still waiting for her husband to pick her up.” Lady Wang went on to say, “Your Highness is a good man, and everything he has done is reasonable. If he hadn’t been forced into such a situation, he wouldn’t have raised his troops to rebel. Besides, can’t your husband understand the situation in Dazhou now?”
Lady Wang then urged Wang Yongde: “If my husband really wants to attack the Fourth Royal Highness, I have no face to face the Fourth Royal Highness. I can only die.”
That’s a threat.
Wang Yongde’s face changed, the truth of gratitude, Wang Yongde naturally know, not to mention, or such a great kindness.
If before Long Shaoyun came, Wang Yongde could still swear, but now Lady Wang appeared in front of him, Wang Yongde did not dare to be so sure.
His heart is at war between heaven and man.
“Husband, you probably don’t know that during this period of time, when I was with the Fourth Royal Highness, Rong’er made trouble. If it hadn’t been for the Empress and the Fourth Royal Highness, it wouldn’t have been enough for Rong’er and me to die a thousand times.” Lady Wang said slowly again. Only then did
Wang Yung-te look at Lady Wang and say, “Madam, what do you mean?”
“Do you know that there is a plague in the frontier?” Lady Wang asked.
“Of course I’ve heard of it. It’s not..” Wang Yongde was also slightly shocked. Lady
Wang shook her head. “It was Rong’er who did the plague. If it hadn’t been for the four royal Highnesses and the empress, I’m afraid the consequences would have been unthinkable.”. But after the event, the empress came to the door, and did not blame Rong son, the result Rong son but bite the hand that feeds him, gave the empress a knife, almost let the empress die.
Wang Yung-te was even more shocked.
I never thought it would be like this.
“It was only because of the words of the late emperor that Rong’er was dead set on believing that she had a marriage contract with the Fourth Royal Highness. It was only because Rong’er had never been able to get out of this knot in her heart that she was unwilling to do such a thing.” Lady Wang sighed as she spoke.
Wang Yongde: “..”
“The Empress let me come back first today.” Lady Wang went on to explain, “I don’t have to tell you what the empress means, but my husband can understand it.”
Wang Yongde was silent.
But don’t worry, Husband. Your Highness and the Empress are not such people. Even if Husband doesn’t agree, they will send Rong’er back. I only kept her because Rong’er’s condition was unstable, so I waited for me to come back and go back to pick up Rong’er, fearing that something would go wrong on the way.
Lady Wang said slowly, “If the husband really doesn’t want to, the four royal Highnesses will raise their troops to attack. Although I can’t say anything wrong about the husband, I am willing to stand on the side of the four royal Highnesses.”. I know my husband’s dilemma, but if your Highness and your husband fight, the soldiers here are not safe. Does your husband really think that the emperor of the Great Chou would still be in charge of your husband’s life?
「……」 I don
‘t know, so I’ll take advantage of this time to wipe it out at one stroke. Reaping the benefits. Lady Wang is analyzing the pros and cons.
Wang Yongde naturally understood.
He was quiet for a long time. Then he looked at Lady Wang and said, “Madam, you’ve been traveling all the way. It’s been hard to come back. I’ll have someone come over to take care of you. Let me think about this again. We’ll go back later to pick up Rong’er.”
“Good.” Lady Wang said nothing more.
Because she knew that if she went back to pick up Wang Rong’er, naturally Wang Yongde would have a decision. Lady
Wang nodded her head.
Wang Yongde held Lady Wang in his arms, and his eyes were still scarlet. After a long time, Wang Yongde turned around and went out of the house and went directly to the study.
…… In
the study.
Wang Yongde looked at the loyal soldiers and stood with his hands on his back. The
men said one word at a time, but what they said was not much different from what Long Shaoyun and Lady Wang said.
“General, I also heard about the emperor’s succession to the throne, the death of the late emperor..”
