Ling Yuandong hurried towards Ni Shang's courtyard.
A burst of laughter came from the courtyard. Ni Shang said,"You don't know how cold the Second Prince was at the palace banquet. He looked like an ice block…Since Senior Brother is here, don't leave.”
"I'll make it clear to him. This time, I'll make it clear!”
Ling Yuanyang stepped into the courtyard and pulled Bai Yi away. Bai Yi was baffled, but he did not shake off Ling Yuanyang's hand and followed him. He had something to say to him too!
When they arrived at the back garden of the Imperial Residence, Bai Yi covered Ling Yu's mouth the moment he opened his mouth.
"Little Yi…"
Bai Yi shook his head." I have something to say to you too! Listen to me first, okay?"
"Alright, you go first!"
" Han, actually, I was wrong back then. I shouldn't have left you like this because I didn't trust you. After I found out the truth, I almost couldn't help but look for you. But when I thought about how you were a general of the Heaven Awaken World and a noble prince, I cowered. I was afraid, I was afraid that because of me, you would be despised by the world, looked down upon by your soldiers, and lose the morale of your army. I didn't want to see you suffer. I was afraid that you would have to make a difficult choice... I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to protect your country... Uh..."
Before he could finish, he was interrupted by Ling Han's kiss.
"Fool, why do you have to bear all this yourself? Why didn't you tell me clearly?”
"I don't want you to be in a difficult position. It's against common sense for us to fall in love. In the eyes of others, it can't exist. As a prince, how can you let others look down on you and talk about you!”
"Little Yi, I don't care about these things. They're just empty titles. I don't care. Life is just a show. Fame and fortune are fleeting. In the end, it's lonely at the top. Why pursue such vanity? The only thing I care about is you. Only you. Of course, I also care about my brothers! I don't care what outsiders think, do you understand? I just want to live a good life with you. I just want to walk down the path with you! It's my pain to not have you by my side…"
It would be a lie if Bai Yi wasn't touched by these words. His heart was incomparably sweet and happy at this moment. He even felt that he was the happiest person in the world.
He pulled Ling Yuandong to sit by the lotus pond and leaned his head on Ling Yuandong's shoulder. The smile on his face dazzled Ling Yuandong!
"Xiao Yi, is our peach blossom forest still there? You didn't destroy it, did you?"
"How could I bear to destroy it? I only said that to make you give up. How could there be so many happy memories between us? I can't bear to, and I won't. If one day you don't want me anymore, I'll go to the peach blossom forest and watch all the flowers wither and bloom!”
"I won't allow you to say such nonsense. We will be fine…A misunderstanding caused us to miss each other for so long. Why did you go to such a dangerous place like Hangu Pass? Do you want to explain it to me? Hmm?"
"I…I actually followed you when I heard that you were going to battle. I was worried about your safety, so I wanted to watch you secretly. Who knew that you would ask me to find the doctors in the town? I happened to be doing a free consultation at the medical center, so I was captured.”
Ling Yuanyang hugged Bai Yi tightly." If I don't meet you this time, are you planning to hide from me forever? You won't let me see you for the rest of my life?"
"…" Bai Yi was speechless. He had indeed planned to do so, and he had been watching him from the shadows.
Ling Yuxuan, who was planning to enter the palace, came over and saw the two of them hugging each other. He quietly walked away! "Looks like you've thought it through. That's for the best!”
Ling Yuxuan first went to check on the gold that Chou Su and the others had brought back. It was already noon.
The butler, Uncle Fu, came to the Raindrop Villa." Xuan 'er, the food is ready. The second prince asked this old servant to come over and call you to eat!”
"Barkley, I'll be right there!"
He closed the door and followed Uncle Fu to the dining room. The table was filled with Ling Yuxuan's favorite dishes: braised pork ribs, sweet and sour carp, beggar's chicken, five-colored dumplings…There was a glass of fruit juice at every table. Ling Yuxuan had taught Qing Liu this in his spare time, but she didn't expect to be able to drink it today!
"Not bad, Qing Liu. I've only taught you once, but you know how to do it. You deserve encouragement!”
" It's all thanks to your guidance, Your Highness…" Qing Liu giggled.
Bai Yi took a sip curiously." It's delicious! Sour, sweet, and fruity. Watermelon? Peaches? Or orange? Why did Ling Yuxuan's food have so many flavors, but it didn't taste bad at all?”
Ling Yuxuan said proudly," I added all the fruits you mentioned, but I added a little honey to adjust the taste and make it taste more natural!”
Ling Yuhan also took a sip." This thing is not bad…"
Ni Shang had drunk it before. She picked up the cup and drank slowly. Only the four of them were eating at a table. After all, they had returned to the Imperial Residence, so they had to pay attention to some etiquette.
Ling Yuxuan looked at the delicacies on the table and his appetite was greatly aroused. He tore open the Beggar's Chicken and grabbed the drumstick to eat it in big mouthfuls. The three of them stared at Ling Yuxuan with their mouths agape. Ling Yuxuan only realized something was wrong after eating halfway and looked at them.
" Hehehe..." He smiled embarrassedly and said with the drumstick," This, this... It's good to eat comfortably. Why care about how to eat?" Eat however you feel comfortable!"
"Third brother, where did your self-cultivation go? Why couldn't he see the shadow from before?”
Ling Yuxuan was shocked." The Ling Yuxuan of the past definitely wouldn't eat like me. As a member of the royal family, self-cultivation is the most important lesson. How can I have any self-cultivation now? Self-cultivation is the most annoying. How should I answer now? It's a headache…"
"Erm…Second Brother, I've already been to the King of Hell. I don't care about my manners anymore. I'll live however I want! It was good to live freely, freely, and casually! If he died that day, he would be able to go to the world for a while!”
Hearing Ling Yuxuan's words, Ling Yuhan didn't say anything else. After all, what Ling Yuxuan said made sense. He didn't want to refute him. Let him be. He only acted like this in the residence!
After dinner, Ling Yu Xuan and Ling Yu Xuan brought a large amount of gold into the palace. Ling Yu Feng, who had heard the news, was already waiting for them in the main hall after the morning court session ended.
The two of them arrived late. Seeing that there were no officials around, Ling Yuxuan was more casual and did not bow to the Emperor Ling Yufeng.
The Emperor didn't care too much. What he cared about was whether they were injured when they returned.
He walked down from the throne.
"Second brother, third brother, were you injured on the way back?”The person had already come to their side and was examining them carefully.
"There were some small accidents on the way, but they were all resolved. It's not a big deal!”Ling Yuxuan said indifferently.
"The two of you went out for a while. Why do I feel a little strange when you come back? Second brother, you actually have a smile on your face? Third brother, you have a warm feeling. What's going on? Did I miss a good show?”
"Big Brother, don't blame us. Aren't you also glowing? Could it be that something good happened?”Ling Yu said with a smile.
"Alright, alright, we'll talk about this later. There's still something important to do.”Ling Yuxuan turned to the outside of the hall and said,"Move everything in."
More than ten boxes were moved into the hall. The sandalwood boxes were locked up.
The Emperor looked at the boxes and asked," Why are there so many boxes?”
Because Ling Yuxuan and Ling Yuyao knew that many people coveted this batch of gold, they did not dare to say it out loud. As a result, the emperor did not know that there was still so much gold.
"Big Brother, this is all Liu Minzhi's embezzled money.”Ling Yuxuan said as he opened the lock. The chest was full of gold.
The emperor looked at the gold and saw the small words below: " Isn't this the pay I gave to the soldiers? Liu Minzhi, you're really bold. Where is he? Did you bring him back? I must skin him alive…!”The emperor was furious.
"Uh, big brother, this, he…he's dead, I killed him!”
The Emperor looked at Ling Yuxuan and chided him. He couldn't have done such a big thing by himself. There must be someone behind it. Now that he's been killed by you, there's no more clues. Sigh…"
Seeing the Emperor's unhappy expression, Ling Yuandong stepped forward and said," Big Brother, these things are not within our control. At that time, Third Brother was about to die. How could we care about whether to kill him or not? If we don't kill him, Third Brother will die…"
When the Emperor heard this, he looked at Ling Yuxuan with some annoyance." Third Brother, I…I didn't mean to blame you. I was just a little anxious…"
"Alright, big brother. Who would remember such a small matter? However, I have a letter here. Take a look!”
He took out the letter from his sleeve and handed it to the Emperor. The Emperor looked at the contents and was a little surprised.
"What's going on, Prime Minister? He shouldn't be involved in this matter. During this period of time, he went back to the countryside to visit his relatives. He didn't know that I allocated food and pay to the army, so how could he be involved?”
"Feng, go and investigate what happened! Be more detailed!" After the Emperor finished speaking, a black shadow retreated. It was An Wei Feng.
Ling Yuhan took out the waist token." Big brother, this waist token seems to belong to the Kingdom of Beiqing. I don't know why their people came to our capital. Previously, Yuxuan's men were injured. I suspect that they have something to do with this batch of gold.”
