late Qing Dynasty

Chapter 39
"What's the matter, Han Yun." I walked over quickly and grabbed his shoulder.

Han Yun pointed not far away, with a look of horror on his face, I looked in the direction he pointed, and found six-year-old Tongzhi walking in, looking at me and Han Yun with disdain.

Needless to say, this little emperor must have played tricks on Han Yun again while I was away, otherwise he wouldn't have such a big reaction.

"Empress Dowager, this minister is leaving the palace now, take your leave!"

I cupped my fists at Lan'er with some displeasure, then pulled Han Yun's arm and walked outside.

"You two stop for me!"

The little emperor pointed at Han Yun and me, looking aggressive.

I ignored the little emperor, and still pulled Han Yun towards the outside, but within a few steps, the six-year-old little emperor grabbed his arm.

"I tell you to stop! Don't you want to resist the order!" The six-year-old Tongzhi had a domineering expression on his face. Although he was a child, it made people feel an indescribable disgust.

"Your Majesty, we are going home, please let your Majesty go." I replied blankly.

"You disrespect the edict, I will kill you!" The little emperor shouted angrily.

I looked back at Lan'er, and found that she was looking at me, "Queen Mother, please let the emperor respect himself."

I couldn't help reminding, Lan'er's eyes flashed with surprise, but she waved to Tongzhi, "Your Majesty, come here."

Tongzhi glared at me resentfully, then reluctantly walked towards Lan'er, "Emiang, I'm the emperor, I can kill whoever I want."

"Who taught you these words?" There was a little reproach in Lan'er's tone.

"It was the Queen's mother who told my children. Could it be that the Queen's mother was wrong?"

I only heard these few sentences, but I didn't listen to Lan'er's words too clearly. I took Han Yun back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, packed up our things, and prepared to leave the palace.

As soon as we reached the door, Mei Shuang hurried over and knelt down in front of me firmly, "Sir, don't you want Mei Shuang?!"

"How do you say that?" I asked her in a daze, like a monk from Zhang Er, a little confused.

"My lord, are you leaving the palace?"

"Yes."

"My lord, aren't you going to bring Mei Shuang with you when you leave the palace?"

Mei Shuang looked at me beggingly, her eyes were red and filled with tears.

"If you want to go out of the palace with me, then go pack your things, Han Yun and I will wait for you."

After all, I couldn't bear it, this palace is a huge killing machine, Mei Shuang saved my life several times, I couldn't bear to leave her alone.

"Yes, my lord!" Mei Shuang laughed through her tears, quickly entered inside, and ran out in just three or two minutes, "My lord, we can start now!"

Seeing Mei Shuang's positive look, I couldn't help shaking my head and laughing, "Then let's go."

After leaving the palace, we hired a carriage on the street and went straight back to the Tang Mansion.

The Tang Mansion is Tang Zhongzheng's home. I only found out after I went back that Tang Zhongzheng has no relatives in this world, only the servants of this house.

"My lord, everything has been packed and dinner is ready." Mei Shuang reminded me standing at the door.

"Understood." I replied back and continued to organize things in the room.

This Tang Zhongzheng looked like a person with a relatively simple life. Apart from a table and a few cabinets, there was nothing else in the room.

"My lord, the food will be cold if you don't go here." Mei Shuang reminded me again.

"It will be ready soon." I promised, and walked out, and went to the dining hall with Mei Shuang.

When I passed by, there were more than a dozen servants standing neatly in the yard. Seeing me pass by, they all shouted in unison, "Congratulations, sir, for his promotion!"

"My lord, everyone has long been looking forward to your return home!" A middle-aged man walked up excitedly, stood two meters away from me, and looked at me with tears in his eyes.

"Hmm." I replied unnaturally, not knowing what to say, after all, I didn't even know who the person in front of me was.

At this time, Mei Shuang leaned against my ear and reminded me in a low voice, "My lord, this is your butler. Everyone calls him Uncle Wang."

At this moment, I can no longer be sure in my heart, Mei Shuang must know something.

"Uncle Wang, let's take everyone down to receive the reward." I remained calm, and only told the group of people to go down first.

"Yes, my lord." Uncle Wang bowed respectfully, and sent those people down to collect the reward money.

"Mei Shuang, sit down." I pointed to the seat opposite me, signaling her to sit down.

"Thank you sir." Mei Shuang was not formal this time, and sat obediently across from me, keeping her head down from the beginning to the end.

"Han Yun, come, eat more." I was picking up vegetables for Han Yun while observing Mei Shuang, "Mei Shuang, you can eat too, now that you are out of the palace, you don't need to pay attention to those vain rituals."

"Yes, my lord." Mei Shuang picked up the chopsticks, sipped her meal, still lowered her head, like a little girl on her first blind date, with the word shy written all over her body.

"Mei Shuang, you have been with me for a while, do you know what I hate?" I asked her casually.

Mei Shuang was startled, looked up at me, then lowered her head and shook her head at the same time, "Mei Shuang doesn't know."

"I'm a casual person, but what I hate the most in my life is deceit and betrayal!" I said this, deliberately emphasizing it later.

Mei Shuang's breathing was obviously stagnant, and the chopsticks accidentally slipped from between her fingers. She immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

"My lord, Mei Shuang didn't deceive you on purpose. Mei Shuang also accidentally discovered that your lord seems to know very little about the past, so she reminded you on purpose."

"Then do you know why I can't remember the past?"

"This servant doesn't know. The servant only wants to serve the lord, and I hope the lord will learn from you."

I looked at Mei Shuang, seeing her appearance, she shouldn't be lying.

"Get up." I waved my hand, showing a good uncle, "I'm just asking, why are you so nervous, hurry up and eat!"

After I finished speaking, I suddenly felt shameless and rushed to bully other girls, and even pretended to be amiable.

Ow!It seems that even I can't escape the full routine!
After we finished our meal, I went straight back to my room. Now that I'm on my own territory, I finally feel more at ease.

I entered Tianlun Jue, and before I entered the second room, I heard the elder monk talking to himself in it.
