Refusing to marry the king of broken sleeves

"Sister Ling." Aunt Li, who came in later, came to Ling Ruoyao, took her hands, and said with the same emotion, "Your family is here to pick you up, you should go home quickly. You can leave home It’s been so long, your family must miss you very much.”

Turning her head to look at Aunt Li, Ling Ruoyao suddenly didn't know what to say, her heart was filled with warmth and emotion, she opened her mouth, and after a moment of silence, she said: "Aunt Li, thank you! And uncle, and Er Niu. If you hadn't saved me, I'm afraid I would have..."

"Okay." Aunt Li interrupted her all of a sudden, and said with a smile, "Say something happy, don't say those unlucky words. Sister Ling, after you go home, you should pay attention to your health. Our small place , the conditions are poor, there are no good medicinal materials, let you make up your body."

"What did Aunt Li say?" Ling Ruoyao suddenly felt very guilty, "If you hadn't taken care of me like this, how could I have recovered so quickly?"

"Okay." Uncle Li on the side stepped forward and interrupted the conversation between the two, "Don't drag Sister Ling to talk non-stop, don't waste any more time." Yuan, smiled apologetically, "Sorry, I made you laugh."

"You're being polite." Ye Yuan nodded slightly, and said with a smile on his face, "On behalf of my father, I would like to thank you two for taking care of my young lady."

After another exchange of pleasantries, Ling Ruoyao followed Ye Yuan out of Aunt Li's house and walked towards the house where she lived.

She is going back to Beijing with Yeyuan soon, no matter what, she should tell Gu Shaoyuan in advance, if he doesn't mind, she can go back to Beijing with them.

However, what she didn't expect was that when she returned to her room, she found that Gu Shaoyuan had already disappeared, and Gu Shaoyuan didn't know where he went!

Immediately panicked, Ling Ruoyao hurriedly searched the house, but after searching around, she still didn't see Gu Shaoyuan.

It was as if he had really disappeared.

"Second Miss, what are you looking for?"

Shaking her head, Ling Ruoyao said with some disappointment: "It's nothing. Let's go."

Gu Shaoyuan's injury is no longer serious, even without her care, he must be able to take care of himself, right?

Thinking of this, she didn't worry about Gu Shaoyuan's sudden disappearance anymore.

As Ling Ruoyao walked out of the house together, Ye Yuan glanced back at the empty house, his eyes instantly became sharp.

After Ling Ruoyao left in the carriage, Gu Shaoyuan, who had been missing for a long time, came out from the grass behind the house, staring at the carriage going further and further away with deep and complicated eyes.

It wasn't until the carriage wobbled that he could no longer see it, that he withdrew his gaze, turned around, and walked forward at a fast pace. After a while, he disappeared into the desolate woods shrouded in snow.

***

After all this back and forth, when Ye Yuan brought Ling Ruoyao back to Beijing, it was already twenty days after Ye Yuan left Beijing.

Returning to the capital again, Ling Ruoyao only felt that she was full of emotions for a while.She left Beijing twice, but the mood of returning to Beijing twice was different.

The last time she left Beijing, she returned to Beijing with Huangfu Yi.But this time, she was alone.

The carriage bumped all the way, and finally drove into the high gate of the capital. Ling Ruoyao raised the curtains of the carriage and cast her gaze out.

Looking at the familiar street and the still lively scene, she felt as if she had never left, and she was still the same as three months ago.

But she is also very clear that some things have already happened, so they cannot be regarded as non-existent.

For example, the first emperor passed away, Huangfuxuan was dead, Huangfuyi became emperor, Huangfuyan and Huangfuxi left Luoyan Island.

These are all things that actually happened.

After walking for a while, she found that the direction of the carriage was not going to the prime minister's mansion, but directly into the palace. Ling Ruoyao became a little puzzled, and asked Ye Yuan who was riding a horse outside the carriage: "It's not that I want Go back to the prime minister's mansion first, and then enter the palace?"

Turning his head to look at her, Ye Yuan's face was calm, and he said in a low tone: "Second Miss, the emperor has missed her for a long time, and has been looking forward to seeing her again all the time, so he ordered his subordinates to take her into the palace directly. As for going back to the prime minister Regarding the matter of the mansion, it will not be too late to go back to the prime minister's mansion after Second Miss enters the palace."

After hearing Ye Yuan's words, Ling Ruoyao hesitated.

In the past three months, she has been thinking about Huangfu Yi almost every day, wishing to see him as soon as possible, but she is a little hesitant to see him in her current state.She originally thought that she would go to the palace to see him after she went back to the Prime Minister's Mansion and cleaned up.

However, thinking of him is the same as she misses, thinking of herself every day, she no longer cares about those trivial things, so Ye Yuan takes her into the palace.

The carriage drove into the palace, but due to the snow cover, the carriage could not go any further, so she could only get out of the carriage and walked towards Huangfuyi's bedroom on foot.

Stepping on the snow one by one, Ling Ruoyao looked around, but suddenly felt infinite emotion.

Following Ye Yuan's arrival at Huangfu Yi's bedroom, Ling Ruoyao saw a familiar figure at a glance, and subconsciously called out: "Colorful beads?!"

Hearing this familiar voice, Caizhu, who was working, was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly followed the sound. When she saw that pretty figure, the rag in her hand fell to the ground in an instant.

Running towards Ling Ruoyao, Caizhu choked up and said, "Second Miss, you are finally back!" Ruo Li was determined.

Seeing Caizhu running in front of her, Ling Ruoyao reached out to stroke her hair at the temples, with a slight smile on her face, she said softly, "I'm sorry for making you worry."

Shaking her head hastily, Caizhu still said in a crying voice: "Second Miss, it's good that you're back! This servant should be worried about you."

"Caizhu, where's the emperor?" Ye Yuan called out, interrupting the conversation between the master and servant.

Quickly raising her hand to wipe the tears overflowing from the corners of her eyes, Cai Zhu looked at Ye Yuan and said, "I heard that the three princes have entered the palace, and they are discussing matters with the emperor in the imperial study."

Hearing Caizhu's words, Ye Yuan nodded slightly, looked at Ling Ruoyao, and said in a deep voice: "Second Miss, please wait a moment, and this subordinate will report to the Emperor. The Emperor will come soon."

"Don't bother him." Hastily stopped Ye Yuan, Ling Ruoyao shook her head towards him and said, "I'll just wait here for him, you don't need to rush him, he will come to me when he is done. "

When the three princes entered the palace, they must have something important to discuss with him. How could she disturb him because of her own business?

"If that's the case, then the subordinate will leave first. Caizhu, please take care of the second lady." Ye Yuan gave a few words of advice, then turned and left.

After Ye Yuan left, Caizhu stepped forward to support Ling Ruoyao, and helped her into the hall: "Second Miss must have been tired all the way, right? This servant will ask someone to prepare hot water for Second Miss to take a bath in." , wash away the tiredness on your body.”

Without refusing, Ling Ruoyao let her go to Zhang Luo, while she waited for Huangfu Yi's arrival in the hall.

Tired of waiting, she looked at the whole palace, as if she could know how Huangfu Yi lived in daily life just by looking at these things in front of her.

Sweeping her eyes over the desk placed in the hall, she could imagine Huangfu Yi buried his first batch of memorials and dealt with political affairs.Looking at the tea table on the couch, she seemed to see Huangfu Yi leaning on the couch, drinking tea leisurely.

Looking at everything in front of her, she felt as if she had never left him.

The corners of her lips raised up unconsciously, and a sense of happiness overflowed unconsciously in her heart. She stepped to the desk and tidied some messy documents on the desk for him.

Carefully arranging the books and documents, she brushed the covers of the books, as if she could feel the warmth of Huangfu Yi's hands from above.

However, suddenly, in the stack of documents she was organizing, an envelope suddenly fell out.

Dazed for a moment, she picked up the envelope and flipped it up and down, but didn't open the envelope to see what was inside.

Without paying close attention, she put the envelope back into the stack of documents and continued to organize the books next to it.

But for some reason, her gaze would always unconsciously aim at that envelope, her heart itching, and she really wanted to open the envelope and take a look to see what was inside.

They had been separated for more than three months, and she also wanted to know what he did, what he cared about, what troubles, what he cared about, and what he tabooed during these three months.

By coincidence, her hand reached for the envelope unconsciously.

Taking out the envelope, she took a deep breath and told herself in her heart that she opened the envelope only to get to know Huangfu Yi better.After she finished reading it, she would definitely put it back and act as if she hadn't seen anything.

Taking out the letter paper, she shook the letter paper and began to read, but her face changed in an instant, and she became pale in an instant, without a trace of blood.

The whole person suddenly became weak, she fell down on the chair, and the letter paper in her hand fell on the desk, but she didn't realize it, and she still stared blankly ahead.

how so?What happened during the three months she was absent?

"Second Miss." There was a crisp voice from outside the hall, and Caizhu led a few eunuchs carrying buckets, and walked in, "Second Miss, the hot water is ready. The servant is waiting for you—"

"You all go out." Still sitting on the chair, Ling Ruoyao said weakly without even looking at Caizhu, "I want to be alone."

As for the letter just now, she had already put it away and put it back in place.

"Second Miss?" Seeing her like this, Caizhu was very worried, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask, "Second Miss, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell? Why don't I invite the imperial physician to show you?"

"Get out!" Suddenly growled, Ling Ruoyao raised her head and stared at Caizhu coldly, which startled her.

After being stunned for a moment, Caizhu quickly came back to her senses, and didn't dare to say any more, so she ordered the eunuchs to pour hot water into the prepared bathtub, and she led them back out.

After Caizhu and the others left, Ling Ruoyao got up and walked to the bathtub, but she didn't take off her clothes to take a bath, but stood in front of the bathtub, looking at herself reflected in the water through the still rippling hot water.

Suddenly, she raised the corners of her lips and smiled, but the smile looked very strange, even with a bit of desolation.

Just as she was looking at herself in the water and secretly lost in thought, the closed palace gate suddenly rang with a heavy creaking sound.

Immediately afterwards, a bright yellow figure walked in.

"Ruoyao?" Huangfu Yi glanced around the entire palace, but he didn't see the figure that he was thinking about day and night, he couldn't help frowning, "Ruoyao, where are you?"

Stepping towards the inside, he locked his eyes on the back of the screen, a smile appeared on the corner of his lips, he deliberately lightened his steps, and walked towards the screen lightly.

Going around the screen, he suddenly stepped forward and hugged Ling Ruoyao from behind, holding her tightly in his arms, as if he was afraid that if he let go, she would disappear.

Bowing his head towards her, he whispered in her ear, "Ruoyao, you are finally back. Do you know how much I miss you! Every day and night, I miss you, miss you You can come back to me as soon as possible!"

Let him hug her and whisper tender words in her ear, Ling Ruoyao never moved a bit, nor did she say a word, her whole body was stiff and motionless.

"Ruoyao, how are you doing these days?" Kissing her earlobe lightly, Huangfu Yi continued, "I sent someone to look for you for three months, and finally found you. Do you know? I'm really scared I will never see you again! Fortunately, I have not lost you!"

With a blank face, Ling Ruoyao just stared at the front with blank eyes, and still didn't speak out.

Finally noticing the strangeness in her, Huangfu Yi raised his head, turned her body around, and let her face him, but when he saw her expression at this time, his brows instantly knit into a ball.

"Ruoyao, what's the matter with you?" Looking at her worriedly, he hurriedly asked, with an unconcealable anxiety in his tone, "What's wrong?"

Looking up to meet his worried and concerned eyes, Ling Ruoyao finally had a slight reaction, but there was a touch of alienation on that pretty face.

Lightly opening her red lips, she asked in a low voice: "Where's my father? Where's my eldest brother? Where's my sister? Where's Caizhi? Where's our prime minister's mansion?!"

Huangfu Yi was stunned for a moment, looking at her in surprise, but there was a hint of sharpness in his deep and narrow phoenix eyes.

After a little stalemate, he twitched the corners of his mouth, tried his best to keep himself calm, put on a puzzled expression, and said with a smile: "Ruoyao, what's wrong with you? Your family is of course in the prime minister's mansion ah!"

"Really?" With a soft snort, Ling Ruoyao's expression became more and more indifferent, even with a hint of hatred, "Then let me go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion! I want to see my father and my elder brother!"

"Ruoyao." His brows were frowned again, and Huangfuyi also put away the smile on his face, and said in a serious tone, "Ruoyao, stay with me in the palace, wait a few days before you go back Prime Minister's Mansion."

"After I go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion first, I will enter the palace to accompany you. Is that not possible?"

"Ruoyao." Huangfu Yi lowered his voice, and there was even a bit of pleading in his tone, "Stay in the palace, stay with me. For the past three months, I have been thinking about you every day. I finally saw you Now that it's your turn, can't you stay with me for a few more days before going back to the Prime Minister's Mansion?"

Meeting his deep gaze, Ling Ruoyao's attitude was also very firm: "I've said it all, after I go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, I will immediately come to the palace to accompany you. For more than three months, my family has Don't worry about me, don't you miss me? Or, do you have something to hide from me, so that I won't let me go back to the prime minister's mansion?"

Huangfu Yi was stunned again, his long and narrow phoenix pupils narrowed slightly, and a layer of gloom shrouded his handsome face.After a moment of silence, he said aloud, "What can I hide from you? I just want to be with you."

"Really?" Looking at him sharply, Ling Ruoyao asked in a cold voice, "You really have nothing to hide from me?"

"Ruoyao, what's wrong with you?" Holding her shoulders with both hands, Huangfu Yi also became anxious, and said in a deep voice, "Why did you ask me such a question as soon as you came back? What are you doubting me about?"

"I just want to know, what did you do to my family?!" Ling Ruoyao said firmly, looking into his deep phoenix eyes.

However, Huangfu Yi became silent, and even avoided her sight a little, and didn't say a word for a long time.

"Do you want me to find out the answer myself?" Seeing that he didn't make a sound, Ling Ruoyao continued, "Why did you ask someone to arrest my family? Why did you tie my elder brother back from the battlefield?!"

He was stunned for a moment, and Huangfu Yi said in surprise: "Who told you? Caizhu?"

"So, this thing is true?" Looking up at him, Ling Ruoyao said angrily, "Why did you do this?! What did my family do wrong? You want to treat them like this?! "

"Ruoyao, calm down! Caizhu must be talking nonsense, and I will definitely punish her so that she doesn't dare to gossip again!"

"Is it really Caizhu's nonsense? Was the letter on your desk also written by Caizhu?"

"Letter!?" Huangfu Yi's face became more gloomy, he hurriedly turned his head and glanced at the desk, his pupils dilated immediately, "Did you read that letter?!"

"If it wasn't for that letter, I don't know how long I would have been kept secret!" Almost gnashing her teeth, Ling Ruoyao said excitedly, "You said it! Why did you treat my family like this?! Why did you let six The prince arrested my eldest brother? He also arrested the people in the prime minister's mansion! What did they do, and you want to treat them like this?! Do you want to arrest me too?!"

Seeing her so excited and angry, Huangfu Yi didn't know how to speak, his brows were frowned tightly.
