Refusing to marry the king of broken sleeves

after March.

The winter wind is icy and biting, and the heavy snow like goose feathers is swirling down, falling on the bare branches, covering the whole land with decorative silver.

In the majestic imperial palace, it was still a vast expanse of whiteness, with thick snow piled all over the ground.

On the white ground, a series of deep footprints suddenly appeared, stepping on the snow, moving forward slowly.

I saw a tall and slender figure appearing in this snowy courtyard amidst the white snow all over the sky. His thick cloak wrapped his muscular body, and a plush hat covered his head. Inky black hair.

Looking up at the corridor ahead, Huangfu Yi sighed softly, his handsome and resolute face looked a little dignified, and there was a hint of depth in his deep and narrow phoenix eyes.

Tightening the cloak on his body, he breathed out into his hands and rubbed them together repeatedly. He quickened his pace and walked to the corridor in a few steps.

As soon as he walked onto the porch, the footprints were immediately buried by heavy snow, and the entire courtyard became pure white again.

"Your Majesty." Caizhu stepped forward and handed a stove in front of him, "Warm your hands."

After taking the stove handed by Caizhu, Huangfuyi turned his gaze to the heavy snow that was coming one after another, and sighed almost inaudibly, his eyes seemed a little misty.

Wei Wei raised her head and glanced at him, Caizhu boldly asked: "Princess...Miss Ling Er...haven't you found it yet?"

After she asked such a question, Huangfu Yi's face immediately became gloomy, his eyes narrowed slightly, his eyes looked a little lonely, and his whole body immediately revealed a sense of sadness.

It has been three months, he has been searching for three months, but there is still no news, even Huangfu Xuan has no whereabouts.

If it weren't for the fact that he had just ascended the throne and had many things to deal with, he really wished he could find Ling Ruoyao in person.

There are always many things to deal with when the new emperor ascends the throne.Moreover, the government is also somewhat unbalanced and unstable, and he cannot take it lightly.

Moreover, less than a month after he ascended the throne, the Sky Kingdom suddenly launched a war against the Cheyuan Kingdom, harassing the borders of the Cheyuan Kingdom from time to time, causing the people in the border towns to /do not/talk/live.

While dealing with internal affairs, worrying about the war ahead, and continuing to search for Ling Ruoyao's whereabouts, Huangfu Yi suddenly felt very tired.

Before ascending to this supreme position, he hoped so much that he would be able to ascend to this position one day.

But when he was really in this position, he realized that it was not so easy to sit firmly in this position.

"Your Majesty?" Seeing that he didn't respond at all, Caizhu whispered worriedly, "Your Majesty, are you alright?"

Quickly regaining his senses, Huangfu Yi shook his head slightly, and said in a low voice, "Has Ye Yuan returned?"

"Go back to the emperor, Young Master Ye has already returned and is waiting in the imperial study."

"Let's go, go to the royal study."

All the way to the Imperial Study Room, Huangfu Yi had just entered the hall when he saw Ye Yuan who was already waiting inside.

Ye Yuan also saw him, so he quickly stepped forward, bowed to him and said, "Your subordinates see the emperor."

"Get up." With a sideways glance at Ye Yuan, Huangfu Yi stepped behind the desk, lifted the hem of the dragon robe, and sat down gracefully, "Did you find anything?"

"Go back to the emperor." Ye Yuan lowered his head slightly, his expression was a little disappointed, his brows were tightly furrowed, and his expression was a little dignified, "This subordinate is incompetent, and I couldn't find Second Miss Ling."

"Is there still no news?" His eyes dimmed instantly, Huangfu Yi murmured in a low voice, and his big hand on the table also tightened into a fist in an instant.

It's been three months and still nothing.

Moreover, he has sent people to search all the places under the cliff, but there is still no news.He even ordered people to search downstream along the river below the cliff, but there was no trace.

Ling Ruoyao and Huangfuxuan seemed to have completely disappeared, neither alive nor dead.

"Keep looking, and you must find Ruoyao!" Holding his big hands tightly, Huangfu Yi frowned, and said in a serious and low tone, with a solemn and dignified expression.

"Your subordinate obeys the order!" Clasping his fists, Ye Yuan bowed his head and said respectfully.

"Your Majesty." While the two were talking, an elderly eunuch said outside the hall, "The princes are here."

"Call them in." Clearing his throat, Huangfu Yi replied towards the outside of the hall.

After a while, I saw several slender and tall figures walking in from outside the hall.

"Minister, see the emperor." Several people bowed their hands at the same time and said to Huangfu Yi.

"You don't need to be too polite. Sit down." Pointing to the chair next to him, Huangfu Yi turned his gaze to Ye Yuan, "Ye Yuan, keep looking. If you have any news, come back and tell me right away."

"Yes, this subordinate will go now." After taking the order, Ye Yuan retreated.

After Ye Yuan left, Huangfu Yu turned his gaze to Huangfu Yi, opened his mouth, hesitated for a while, and then said: "Your Majesty, haven't you found Miss Ling yet?"

His eyes always seemed very dim, Huangfu Yi shook his head slightly, and said with a long sigh: "There is still no news."

After hearing his words, Huangfu Yu, Huangfu Yan, and Huangfu Xi were all silent, and everyone had a serious and worried expression on their faces.

In such an atmosphere, no one dared to speak first, fearing that if something was inappropriate, they would say something that shouldn't be said.

After being silent for a while, Huangfu Yi put away the concern and worry in his heart, adjusted his mood, looked up at the three of them, and said aloud: "You guys are here to see me, are you doing something?"

"Actually, it's nothing." Huangfu Yu said first, "I just thought that the emperor is very busy recently, so I called my elder brother and third brother to come into the palace to visit the emperor."

The corners of his lips were raised slightly, and he gave an elegant smile, Huangfu Yi chuckled lightly and said: "I'm fine, you don't have to worry too much."

"Your Majesty, there is General Ling sitting in the border town, and those who want to come to the Cang Qiong Kingdom don't dare to act rashly." Huangfuyan pondered for a while before saying, "If the Cang Qiong Kingdom dares to invade the border town again, General Ling will drive them back. Your Majesty can rest assured."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Huangfuxi also took up the topic and said, "In the past two months, there have been many good news from the border town. Presumably, General Ling will return triumphantly in a short time."

Listening to the words of the two, Huangfu Yi nodded slightly, his expression was calm, making it impossible to guess his thoughts.

"With Ling Qinglian sitting in the border town, the Sky Kingdom is nothing to be afraid of. But the war is not over, and I can't let go of my heart."

Although there is Ling Qinglian in command of the front line, as long as there is no news of the final victory, he will not be able to completely relax for a day.Unless the Sky Kingdom no longer dares to invade the Cheyuan Kingdom, or if the Cheyuan Kingdom wipes out the Sky Kingdom in one fell swoop, then he doesn't have to worry.

The four exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Huangfu Yi began to issue the order to evict the guests: "Okay, let's stop here today. If there is nothing else, you can go back first."

Seeing that he had already said that, the three of them stood up and bowed their hands to say goodbye to him: "I will take my leave."

After the three of them left, Huangfu Yi reached out and rubbed his temples, with a tired look on his face.After sighing softly, he lazily leaned back on the chair and looked up at the top of his head, only to find that a familiar bright smiling face suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Ruoyao, where are you?" Looking at the bright smiling face, he murmured softly.

***

"Sister Ling!"

A loud and high-pitched voice sounded in front of a simple wooden house. A woman with a round figure and a rich appearance stood outside the fence in front of the yard, with her hands on her hips, looking into the yard with a smile on her face.

After a while, I saw a pretty figure walking out of the room.On the clear and beautiful face, it looked extraordinarily pale, with almost no trace of blood.

Coming in front of the woman, Ling Ruoyao smiled at her and said politely: "Aunt Li, what's the matter?"

"Your elder brother killed a rabbit on the mountain today, and I cooked it. No, I want you to taste it too." Aunt Li smiled at Ling Ruoyao and said straightforwardly, but when she saw her pale face , and felt a little distressed, "Look at you, it's been three months, and your body is still very weak, you need to make up for it."

"How embarrassing is this?" Ling Ruoyao said, but there was a warm feeling in her heart, and an emotion called moving was spreading.

Three months ago, she and Huangfu Xuan fell off a cliff.She thought that if she fell from such a high place, she would definitely die, but maybe God favored her, so she didn't die.

Thinking of what happened that day, she still feels scared.

That day, after she fell off the cliff, she resigned herself to her fate and waited to be smashed to pieces. But what she didn't expect was that Huangfuxuan, who also fell off the cliff and was seriously injured, suddenly grabbed her and held her in his arms .

He just hugged her like that, fell off the cliff, and landed firmly on the big protruding rock at the bottom of the cliff.

Huangfuxuan was thrown to pieces at that time, blood flowed everywhere, but his hands still hugged Ling Ruoyao tightly.Ling Ruoyao was not seriously injured because she was protected by Huangfu Xuan, but she was still injured when she fell from such a high cliff.

Falling on the stone, Huangfuxuan lost consciousness immediately, and the whole person also rolled down from the edge of the stone, and fell into the clear river below the stone.Ling Ruoyao was already unconscious, so she fell into the river with him.

The two just fell into the river and went down the river.

It's freezing cold.After drifting in the river for a few days, the two of them no longer knew where they were washed up.When Ling Ruoyao woke up again, she found that she was lying on a somewhat hard bed, and the surrounding environment was very strange.

Only later did she know that she was rescued by a hunter who lived in a nearby village, and this man was Aunt Li's husband.

From Aunt Li and his wife, Ling Ruoyao learned that Huangfuxuan was dead.Because they thought they were Ling Ruoyao's relatives, Aunt Li and his wife buried Huangfuxuan in the woods behind the village, giving him a shelter.

After staying at Aunt Li's house for a few days, Ling Ruoyao felt that she was disturbing her, so she offered to leave, but she didn't want to, because she was very weak after soaking in the water for several days, and couldn't travel long distances for a while.

So she lived next to Aunt Li's house, in this simple but quiet cabin.

But I don't want to, this stay will be three months.Her body still hasn't fully recovered.But she longed to leave here and go back to the capital.

"Sister Ling?" Seeing that Ling Ruoyao was silent and lost in her own thoughts, Aunt Li shook her hand in front of her eyes and shouted loudly, "Sister Ling, let's go, otherwise, the rabbit will be killed by the two of you." It was eaten up!"

With that said, Aunt Li pulled Ling Ruoyao and walked towards her home.

Stepping into the seemingly simple house in front of her, Ling Ruoyao immediately saw Uncle Li and his son Li Erniu sitting at the dining table.

"Sister Ling is here?" Uncle Li waved at her, and added a pair of bowls and chopsticks for her, "Sit down quickly."

"Sister Ling, try the rabbit that my father caught, it's delicious!" Li Erniu also greeted her enthusiastically.

Looking at the family who are so enthusiastic about her, Ling Ruoyao suddenly felt a little overwhelmed, and the corners of her eyes seemed a little moist.

The family in front of me may not have a rich family background or rich knowledge, but they have the most simple and kind hearts, and they can treat everyone with such enthusiasm.

Nodding to the three of them, Ling Ruoyao stopped being pretentious, and quickly sat down, picked up the chopsticks, and put a piece of rabbit meat into her mouth: "Well, it's really delicious!"

"Right!" Li Erniu said as if asking for credit, "My mother's craftsmanship is one of the best!"

"Yes, yes, yes, Aunt Li's craftsmanship is really unique in the world!"

"Sister Ling knows how to joke!"

"I'm not joking! Look how serious I look!"

……

……

The four talked and laughed, and the atmosphere was relaxed and harmonious.

After a full meal, Ling Ruoyao stayed at Aunt Li's house for a while, and then went back to her cabin.

However, what she didn't expect was that she had just walked into her yard when she was frightened by the scene in front of her.

In her yard, there was a person lying on the ground. The person was lying motionless on the ground, and the white clothes were still stained with a little bright red.

Ling Ruoyao was taken aback immediately, and looked around subconsciously, but didn't see anything unusual, and she was even more puzzled in her heart.

After hesitating for a while, she stepped forward, squatted in front of the man, and poked him twice: "Hey, wake up?"

But the man didn't react at all, as if he had passed out.

After shouting twice, but still not getting any response, Ling Ruoyao stretched out her hand and pushed the man, causing him to turn over and lie flat on the ground.

But after seeing the appearance of that person clearly, she was stunned for a moment, her eyes widened, and she looked at the person in front of her in disbelief.

How could it be him?
