Chapter 333 Long time no see
On the long stone steps, the young man standing with his back felt that someone was looking at him, and turned his head sideways, his gaze was as calm as a waveless pool.

Zhuo Tianxin hesitated for a moment, and hid himself at the door.

"My lord, there is nothing free in the palace today, so these two fast horses will be used." The porter whispered.

"Where is the old master's carriage?" Wei Yu said.

"It seems that it was taken because of the urgent need of the master in the house."

"How did so many salute horses be transported there? Don't other people in the mansion have free carriages?"

The figure behind the door trembled slightly
"This" the porter was a little embarrassed, he didn't know why the carriages were all used today, it was such a coincidence.The more the coincidence, the more he could feel that someone did it on purpose. "The little one go in and have a look."

The figure behind the door has turned around quickly, and fled to the depths of the palace.

"Don't bother." Zhuo Yibai shook his head.

Seeing that there was no trace of anger on his face, the concierge felt a little guilty, "Young master, I will send you to the mansion to rest for a while, and after you have recuperated, come pick up other luggage, what do you think?"

"The mansion in the northern suburbs is so far away, and it takes several hours to go back and forth. Isn't this too troublesome?"

"It's okay." Zhuo Yibai stopped Wei Yu's words, and explained in an understated manner, "At this time, there will be no extra carriages to spare. Take a few pieces of personal clothing, take those two boxes, and go on the road."

"Then these..." Wei Yu frowned as she looked at the baggage and boxes all over the floor.

Apart from books and ordinary decorations, there are all the things that the young master used to use in the past, and there are also many rare treasures in his collection, which were obtained by accident when he was out, so they can be regarded as private property.

"It's all unnecessary, and these luggage are not suitable for moving, let's go."

The gatekeeper was alert, and hurriedly said respectfully: "My lord, please get on your horse."

Seeing her son turn around, Wei Yu had no choice but to follow, feeling extremely aggrieved.

"Wait!" An urgent cry sounded.

Everyone followed the prestige and saw the butler Tong Qian walking quickly.

"Big steward." Wei Yu saluted, a little excited, "But there is a carriage?"

Tong Qian glanced at the young man on the horse and shook his head, "If you don't mind, please stay here for now. When the carriage returns home in the evening, there will probably be a free carriage."

"." Wei Yu showed annoyance, this is to let the son pick up the carriage when others don't use it.

"I came here on orders to take back something." Tong Qian sighed in embarrassment, "This thing is very important, please give it to the palace."

His eyes fell on Zhuo Yibai's waist, the jade pendant hanging there had been taken off.

"Jade pendant, I put it in the mechanism brocade box in the room." Zhuo Yibai said, as if he had expected it long ago.

"Oh." Tong Qian nodded, his complexion changed, "Since that's the case, I'll ask someone to pick it up. Please wait here for a while, sir."

For the last few words, the voice became weaker and weaker, and after finishing speaking, he turned around like the wind and left.

"Then please trouble the butler."

"My lord, this is it." Wei Yu was a little annoyed, the tone just now was really irritating, could it be possible to covet things with the character of a lord?
"It's just that he's a bit embarrassed, after all, he's the steward of Prince Zhuo's Mansion." Zhuo Yibai said a few words to comfort him.

"My lord." Wei Yu hesitated to speak.

He wanted to tell Zhuo Yibai that although he was no longer the son of the royal family, he didn't owe the royal family anything, and he didn't need to pay any attention to Tong Qian's words, but he finally endured these words.

Now, they are helpless in Jindu, and their situation is not as good as before.

"My lord, there are horses coming here."

Under the blue sky, the horseshoe galloped across the white snow, splashing a layer of light mist, which slightly obscured people's vision, but it was faintly visible that the corner of the moon-white clothes pierced the white mist.

The man on the horse was approaching gradually, his clothes fluttering, his brows were full of heroism, and he was staring at the young man in the distance.

In the cold air, the young man from Zhilan Yushu stood in front of the snowflakes flying in front of the gate of the palace. Against the backdrop of the majestic gate of the palace behind him, his thin clothes looked even more bleak.

This is what Ye Zhaoyan saw when he drove his horse to the gate of Zhuo Wang's Mansion.

The thin mist in the snow-fallen air made the boy's fair face even colder, as if it was about to blend with the ice and snow, not like a human being.

Ye Zhaoyan had the illusion for a moment that the person in front of him would disappear with the ice disappearing.

"It's so beautiful!" A girl on the street shouted happily, breaking the original silence.

Two pairs of eyes are facing each other, one is cold and the other is hot, each other's moods are in turmoil.

Zhuo Yibai stood where he was, staring blankly at the long-lost face.

"Miss Ye!" Wei Yu was the first to break the deadlock, got off the horse, threw the reins to the guards, and rushed towards the girl.

Ye Zhaoyan returned to his senses, nodded slightly, his eyes still stayed on the familiar young man, "Zhuo Yibai."

The other party came slowly, stood in front of her, raised his chin slightly, looked at her with clear eyes without blinking, "Long time no see."

There seemed to be a little joy in the surprised tone, but Ye Zhaoyan couldn't tell.

She pursed her lips, avoiding his probing gaze, lowered her eyes and hummed softly.

Seeing this, Wei Yu breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "We are worrying that we will not be able to carry all our luggage. Ms. Ye would not mind giving us a ride!"

Ye Zhaoyan was suffocated, "Are you leaving now?"

"I have to go, but it will take some time!" Wei Yu explained wistfully.

"How long?" Ye Zhaoyan looked up at Zhuo Yibai with a nervous tone.

"Ban Yue." His eyes kept falling on her face, as if he couldn't see enough for a while, "The Bei Rong envoys have a lot of affairs, and it has been delayed for a long time. We need to go with them on the road."

Ye Zhaoyan lowered his head to hide the disappointment in his eyes.

Wei Yu keenly noticed the stagnation in the air, smiled, and tried to adjust the atmosphere, "Miss Ye, you came all the way, you didn't come here just to let us hang out in the cold wind, did you?"

Only then did Ye Zhaoyan come back to his senses, and looked at Zhuo Yibai apologetically, "I'm sorry."

Her eyes were pitch-black like a clear spring, rippling with waves of light, he didn't dare to look any more, turned away and said, "It's okay."

"In this case, don't be polite!" Wei Yu clapped her hands and greeted the nursing home next to her, "Help move things!"

Ye Zhaoyan glanced around, and found that the concierge and the maids were all performing their duties, and only two nurses were busy carrying luggage, and then frowned slightly.

The servants presumably act according to the wind and the wind, and act according to the master's will.

In such a situation, the Zhuo Palace has completely regarded him as an abandoned son, and they can't wait to get rid of the relationship.

There are rumors outside that "the King Zhuo is kind-hearted" and he packs for the son of a spy who has been raised for many years, which makes people sigh.

She was skeptical, but now she instantly understood Zhuo Wang's intentions.

Letting Mr. Beirong, who is about to leave Jindu, marry for his own reputation, is a business that will never lose money.

Until the end, he didn't let go of any use of him.

"Bring these letters and old things, don't want the rest." Zhuo Yibai pointed to the letter paper scattered in the box, and ordered lightly.

Wei Yu had no choice but to put down the ornaments in her hands.

The few people quickly tidied up, Zhuo Yibai got on the horse, looked back at the luxurious and splendid mansion, his eyes were a little dark.

Ye Zhaoyan followed his gaze, his mind turning a thousand times.

Tong Qian had already found the jade pendant, but he didn't show up, so he only asked the young man to come out to see him off, "Master, go slowly, take care!"

Several people galloped away on horseback, leaving the sluggish concierge and a group of servants looking at each other, and finally sighed.

"Oh, young master is so kind. It's really admirable to throw away such a precious thing!"

"Yeah, I've lived all these years, but I've never seen such a decisive person."

"Unfortunately, it will be a lifetime if I leave this time."

"Well, I hope he has some good luck."
