"How dare I let you go alone? To the capital!" There was no room for doubt.
"Then aren't you afraid that Li Xi won't let me go?”He was still a little worried about this…
He smiled and stared at me.”
When they arrived at the East Mountain Stronghold, they found that this place was a beautiful mountain forest. It should be very comfortable to live in this place.
In the midst of the emerald green, a gentle breeze blew, shaking the entire ocean. It was quiet and charming.
My brother came down from the mountain and saw me. He hurriedly came to me with his qinggong."Ji 'er, are you alright? You scared me to death!" He had lost all his family and was worried about his gains and losses.
I grinned." It's okay. Isn't it good to be standing here?”
Shui Xuanyue did not say much and immediately arranged for people to prepare the carriage. She then returned to report the situation to her brother.
When the carriage arrived, she asked her brother if he wanted to go to the capital to look for Sister Xiangxiang.
The elder brother thought about it and decided to return to the Huashan Sect."If the young sect master can bring you back, I don't have to worry anymore. He will definitely protect you.”
I hugged him and got into the carriage.
Shui Xuanyue told everyone to return to the Ice Mystic Sect first while she brought me to the capital alone.
They didn't stay in the inn anymore. At night, they found a forest and slept in the carriage. This way, they could save time and reach the capital as soon as possible. However, it would not be good. The carriage was small, and there was no proper place to sleep. Most of the time, I rested my head on his legs while he slept inside.
When he woke up the next morning, his legs were often numb and he had to rub them for a while before he could stand up. I've been worried about this for a long time. It's not a solution to keep doing this! But I have no other choice!
Therefore, all the responsibility was on Li Xijue! It's all his fault for forcing my Mystic Moon to meet him. What's there to meet? It's not like I've never seen him before! After not seeing each other for a few years, he could still have a head or a hand!
" There are still two days of travel. We will reach the capital soon." A voice came from outside the carriage." We will reach Yichang soon. Let's go there to rest and wash up before we go to the capital."
She lifted the curtain and sat beside him.”
He nodded and did not say anything.
The horse carriage galloped, and the three horses in front kept running. The petals that fell from the ground were stepped on, stuck to the hooves, and flew up again. It was very beautiful.
Stepping on flowers, I return to the fragrance of horseshoes.
This was originally a question that the Emperor had set for the students in the court examinations. He wanted them to draw a picture of the person who was the top scorer in high school and had returned to his hometown in glory.
He actually felt like he was home. The grass in the Xia Manor is probably already very, very tall. The Joyous Tree in my courtyard should have already withered…Back then, when Li Xijue was in my room, the main reason why he didn't scream was because of the pleasant Joyous Tree fragrance on his body. In his heart, he felt that such a person was not a great evil person.
This was the place where he had met Li Xijue when he had left the Ice Mystic Sect. At that time, he had been so smug about currying favor with the Third Prince and helping the Xia family to recover. He had never thought that he would be used so thoroughly. That ending was heartbreaking.
I don't know if that man in red can still return, I don't know if he's wearing that dragon robe. He's long forgotten about us people from the past, forgotten that he could smile so seductively and charmingly, forgotten that he could sneak into a deep courtyard without caring about danger just because he likes something. He probably couldn't and didn't need it now, right?
He no longer needed to smile. Which woman would reject his imperial edict?
He no longer needed to steal. Everyone had to try their best to curry favor with him and give him what he liked, no matter how expensive it was, as long as he liked it.
He no longer needed any friends or past…He was the Emperor, our Supreme Being. If he wanted friends, it would only give others more leverage. As the Emperor, he could not have any weaknesses.
"Ji 'er, let's get out of the car." Shui Xuanyue dismounted the horse and handed it over to the attendant. She then stood in front of the carriage and looked at me.
Only then did she realize that she had been thinking about the whole journey and had not even noticed that she had stopped the car.
He staggered into the inn and sat on a chair, staring blankly at the signature dish.
When the waiter came, he didn't call me and asked me what I wanted to eat. He ordered a few dishes and sat with me.
"Have you been here before?" He suddenly asked.
"I've been here before." The best thing to eat here was the pork and cabbage buns in the morning. It was really delicious with porridge.”
"Then I want the steamed buns tomorrow." His eyes were filled with affection.
In her panic, she avoided his eyes and buried her head in the food.
After dinner, he went upstairs with his things. I stood at the top of the stairs and watched him go upstairs. He looked at me from above."Not coming up?"
" I…" She bit her lip." I want to go out for a walk." He had been in the carriage for the past few days and had not been able to take a good look at the streets of the city.”
He glanced outside the door." Wait for me. I'll put down my things and go with you."”
He walked in and reached the entrance of the inn. The sun was glaring and the hot air surged with the crowd. It's been a long time…I haven't gone shopping for a long time…It's been twelve years…It's been twelve years since I came to ancient times…I smiled sadly. I haven't thought of a way to return to the modern world in twelve years. Professor Gu should be sixty years old now…
Looking at the people coming and going, every one of them was so unfamiliar and had different expressions. They had nothing to do with me. After living here for so long, he still couldn't integrate. Whether it was when he was young in the Xia residence or when he grew up and followed others around.
" Ji 'er." Shui Xuanyue walked out." Let's go."”
There were many children on the street, making a scene around the person selling candied hawthorns. That person was so angry that he stomped his feet and cursed.
There was an old woman selling lotus seeds. She placed them in small piles and could buy a large handful with a copper coin.
"Have all the lotus flowers withered in Huan Yue Pavilion?”Another year had passed.
He also saw the lotus and went over to buy a small handful. He stuffed it into my hand."Take it. Every year."
Looking at the lotus seed in his hand, he tore open a petal and took out a lotus seed. The green one was more like jade. He cut it open with his fingernail and took out the white fruit inside. It was full and shiny.
When he put it into his mouth, the fragrance was accompanied by bitterness. It rushed straight to his brain in his mouth.
"If you don't like to eat the lotus core, just take it out.”His indifferent tone always made people think that he was being careless, but how could they notice such a small movement when they were not paying attention?
Lotus seeds could be used as medicine, and the lotus core was a good medicine. Remove the fire and clear the lungs. Although it was bitter, it was beneficial.
She stood in front of the brothel and refused to leave.
Shui Xuanyue stood there silently. How could he not know that the place Li Xijue went to the most in the past was the brothel?
He looked at me, sighed, and pulled me inside.
The brothel madame came over to stop him, but she stopped talking after being stuffed with a piece of silver.
He went straight upstairs and asked the people here about the house that the man in red frequented the most. He sent the person in the room away.
Shui Xuanyue leaned against the door, unsure if she should enter or leave.
After thinking for a while, she looked up and said to him,"Come in, I'm you."”
He smiled, walked in, and closed the door.
I climbed into bed and checked the brick wall at the foot of the bed. There was a crack around a brick that could not be discovered without careful searching. I used the nails of both hands to clip the brick and dragged it out with all my might. He finally took it down.
Shui Xuanyue looked on in shock but did not say anything.
There was a note lying quietly on the wall…
The familiar fragrance of the silktree was on the note. There was only a line of small script on the note:
Ji 'er, I've let you down…
'Heh, when did you write this?' He placed the piece of paper back into the box and stuffed the brick into it. He smiled as he looked at Shui Xuanyue's handsome face. No matter how he looked at it, he could not get enough of it.
If the note inside was something else, perhaps I would be truly sad and forgive Li Xijue. But he said he was sorry. He knew he was sorry, but he still treated me like that. Did he regret it? Do you think you did something wrong? What's the use of being sorry!
"Let's go back and take a bath. I've been too tired these past few days.”He pulled Shui Xuanyue out and walked past the contemptuous gazes before heading towards the inn.
The room where he saw Li Xijue the last time was already occupied by a mother and son. Soaking in the hot water, his entire body relaxed. The fatigue of the past few months had also disappeared. Looking at the crack in the door, Shui Xuanyue was too righteous! I told him not to come in, but he just stood guard at the door and didn't even look at me. He was really puzzled! How could there be such a strange man in ancient times!
"Xuan Yue! Xuan Yue!" She shouted, wanting to tease him.
His deep voice came from outside the door.”
"Save me!" He continued to shout.
"Ji 'er, I'm not that stupid, am I?" The person outside immediately laughed.”
Tsk, she was stupid! I'm already so funny, but it's useless! If he wasn't stupid, then what was he?
He rolled his eyes and sank into the water. If this was in modern times, he would definitely not be able to find a wife! To be single for life!
"Where did this come from?" The guards at the city gate were domineering.
Shui Xuanyue took out her lord's token and said,"The Emperor has summoned you."”
The guard laughed and said,"Yo! The emperor summons you! The heavens even summoned me!" After saying that, he was about to grab the token.
Shui Xuanyue grabbed his fingers and pulled them back.
"Ah!" " You!" the guard shouted, but he did not dare to touch Shui Xuanyue's hand. Are you rebelling!"
"Sigh! Lord! Have mercy!" A eunuch hurriedly ran over.”
Shui Xuanyue let go of the token and helped me out of the car.
The eunuch kicked the guard hard.""Apologize to the lord!"
