Dai Ziling

Chapter 97

As night falls, Yugongbei.

A lonely figure gently pushed open the door of Concubine Jing's courtyard.

The fragrance of jasmine and the white moonlight, the past is so strong that it will never be forgotten, stop and sigh and feel melancholy, close at hand seems far away.

During the day, a plate of pastries disturbed King Nandan.Although he knew that Zixi had ulterior motives, his purpose was unknown.

The original decision came from the fear of the instability of the kingship.Credit, in the eyes of others, is an honor, but in the eyes of the emperor, it is also a threat.

For Lei Yuan, King Nandan always felt guilty. He knew that there were some hurdles in his heart that he couldn't get over in his lifetime.

The surrounding palaces were abandoned, and this place was deliberately built into a remote and desolate place, just to give the loved one a quiet place.

The two wooden doors opened slowly, and the four eyes met, as if it had been a lifetime away.

Although the Buddha beads are twirling at the fingertips, anger and delusion are deeply rooted in the heart.

"How many years, this door, you are finally willing to open it."

"In the past, it was His Majesty who stood here waiting for the door to open. Today, I am the one who invites you to come. There is no reason why the door should not be closed."

"It seems that the widow's guess is good, but how did you get acquainted with Bai Wei? You should understand the good intentions of the widow, exposing your identity, and for you, it is easy to cause death, Yuan Son, why?"

Without directly answering Nandan King's question, Lei Yuan opened the door wider:

"The tea has just been brewed. If Your Majesty doesn't dislike the shabby place, how about taking a rest?"

The dazzling and beloved concubine in the past has removed her pearls and hairpins, faded her clothes, and has no makeup and powder. She is alone.

The affection was even worse, King Nandan sighed and walked towards the house.

There was a plate of jasmine flower cake and a cup of jasmine tea on the wooden table. These two things were always prepared by Concubine Jing every time she came to the palace.

Tasting cakes, tasting fragrant tea, in a trance, it seems to have returned to the past...

"Your craftsmanship is better! The one sent by that girl is far worse than this."

Pulling on the silk, continuing the tea, and putting down the white porcelain teapot, Lei Yuan smiled slightly: "I also made the cakes that Bai Wei sent."

"Oh?"

King Nandan showed doubts, took another sip, shook his head and said, "I don't believe it."

"Your Majesty doesn't believe it, but it's true. The mood is different, and the taste is naturally different."

"Yuan'er, if you have something to say, it's okay to say it."

After pondering for a moment, Lei Yuan knelt down slowly, but King Nandan wanted to help him up, but was refused.

Kowtowing his head, the emperor's compassion was awakened.

"Thanks to His Majesty's perseverance, Lei Yuan has been able to survive until now. Good fortune and misfortune are unpredictable but also predictable. Fate, Miss Bai Wei came here by mistake. Those who don't know are not guilty. I hope Your Majesty will not blame her."

"Hmph! That girl has too many ghosts and eyes. She is not surprised to see through your identity. It's just... why did you help her? You clearly know that she is the fourth child!"

"Your Majesty! Because she belongs to the Fourth Highness, I have no choice but to help her. Fourth Highness, he is your son! I have seen the consequences of separation between rulers and subjects... So, I don't want to see the tragedy of father and son turning against each other again." stage!"

Monarchs and ministers are separated, father and son turn against each other.

King Nandan was startled, and felt an inexplicable sense of frustration: I am the king of a country!How many pairs of eyes are fixed on your own throne, how can you not take precautions?People's hearts are unpredictable, who can guarantee that ministers will not seek the emperor, and sons will not rebel against their fathers?
"Yuan'er, the widow also has his own helplessness. He is in his position and seeks his own government. Some things have to be done, and some people have to be eliminated. Let's forget about this time, but in the future, you don't want to get involved in it again, Bai Wei, that girl, should not be underestimated, my widow, absolutely must not keep her!"

Seeing that King Nandan had made up his mind, Lei Yuan stopped talking. She slowly got up and walked towards the altar. After offering three incense sticks, she clasped her hands together and chanted sutras with her eyes closed.

It was rare to see him, but he was going to break up unhappy. Looking at Lei Yuan's thin and haggard appearance, King Nandan felt a dull pain in his heart.

When he reached the door, he stopped in his tracks:

"Forget it, you can rest assured."

The door was gently closed, and the footsteps became quieter. Lei Yuan opened her eyes, looked at the statue of Guanyin in front of her, and burst into tears.

Outside the tent of the military camp, Yan Tong and Mi Yuan are eager to see through.

"Come on, come on!"

After slapping Mi Yuan's back vigorously, Yantong ran towards the direction of the sound of horse hooves.

"Ouch!" Shaking his shoulders, Mi Yuan quickly followed up, and said to himself while running: "Little aunt, you are back!"

The two of them ignored what His Royal Highness said, and rushed to Zixi's horse. They looked up and saw that she was safe and sound, and they all heaved a sigh of relief.

"It can be regarded as coming back! If you don't come back, Mi Yuan and I will go to the palace to make a big fuss!"

Looking back at Xinruo, Zixi smiled and said:

"I know you two are in a hurry, so you're not coming back now! Are the food and drink ready? My aunt and grandma are starving to death!"

"Ready, ready! Hurry up, go back first!"

Familiar faces flashed by on horseback one by one, huh?Who is that man with Luo Yiyao?Hey?Who is the woman Xin Ruo is carrying?Who is this... this young girl?
Yan Tong and Mi Yuan frowned, aren't they mortals?

Hearing Yan Tong's shout, the two generals Nine Crowns and Sima Murong also came out of the tent, and seeing Teng Xuanyi and the others come back safely, smiles appeared on their faces.

After this incident, everyone in the Yiqi Army believed that King Nandan was tyrannical and innocent. His Highness suffered all kinds of grievances, but he never forgot to save the soldiers from fire and water.

"See Your Highness!"

Sima Murong and the two generals clasped their fists on their knees, their voices were like a bell.

Feeling at ease, Teng Xuanyi didn't really feel relieved until the moment when he saw Yi Qijun intact.

"Two generals please get up!"

This time I was able to escape from death, thanks to the help of an expert.The two generals knew in their hearts that the military merit this time was undoubtedly equivalent to a life-threatening talisman. His Highness exchanged his great future for the lives and dignity of thousands of soldiers.It's just the way forward...

"Your Highness, you... have worked hard! The food and wine are ready, please enjoy slowly. If there is no other order, this subordinate will leave first!"

There is no need for too many words between men, just a look, a word of "hard work", and the heart is known.

"Go ahead, we'll talk about it tomorrow."

The night was hazy and the bonfire was raging. Teng Xuanyi was very relieved to see the soldiers coming and going on patrol.

Looking at the people behind him, Nine Crowns showed surprise, that woman...

"Nine Crowns! Do you miss my master? Hurry up, let me see what good wine and food we have prepared! You don't know how much my master has suffered these days!"

"Ah...Everyone pay first, we will talk while eating."

Fairy party?Such a big matter should not be known to outsiders.

"Hey! General, find two people to watch this mute!"

Following the direction of Zixi's finger, everyone's eyes stayed on Yue Lu.

"Wei'er, let me keep an eye on her!"

"Hey, Xinruo, you don't have to be so nervous, she has been with us for so long, what would you think if you were her master?"

"This... must have said everything that should be said and should not be said, right?"

"It's only meaningful before you open your mouth to keep your mouth shut. Now, she, a sure-fire traitor, risked her life by going to the barracks to kill her? Oh, I think so highly of her too!
What did this girl do in the imperial palace?
Jiu Guan was confused, he touched Teng Xuanyi:
"hostage?"

"It's a bit complicated, I'll explain it to you later."

The girl who was silenced probably understood, Mu Yan, I knew her, and the woman who had been staring at Teng Xuanyun... Where did it come from?The task entrusted by Emperor Feng is no small matter, everything must be more careful...

Calling two soldiers to take Yue Lu away, Nine Crowns opened the curtain:

"Fourth Highness, please!"
