Chapter 69 Leaving the Palace 2

Wen Wanyu trotted into the mansion with a brisk pace.

The journey was smooth, and the servants either forgot to stop them or didn't know whether they should stop them.

Seeing her, they all opened their mouths in surprise, and all of them tacitly did not change their words, "Miss, why are you back?"

Wen Wanyu smiled at them. She was only thinking about visiting her mother and didn't have time to explain too much, so she quickened her pace.

Bai Su stayed in the yard, explained to the servants, and warned them that this was a secret visit out of the palace and that they had to keep the matter secret.

The housekeeper rubbed his eyes in disbelief when he saw Wen Wanyu at the door, and after making sure he was not mistaken, he burst into tears of joy.

He stumbled into the house, "Master, Miss... Miss, she's back!"

Wen Lingyuan was guarding He Ruoyan, drowsy in the chair. When he heard this, he thought the butler was just talking in his sleep.

"Wanwan has been in the palace for over half a year. How could she possibly be back? You must be dreaming."

The housekeeper choked up and said, "I'm not mistaken. The young lady is really back."

Wen Lingyuan opened his sleepy eyes.

"Daddy, Wanwan is back!"

Wen Wanyu stepped over the threshold and entered the house.

Wen Lingyuan stared at her intently, and then a red mist filled his eyes.

"I... am I seeing things right? My Wanwan is back?"

Wen Wanyu choked up and walked up to Wen Lingyuan with red eyes, "Daddy, Wanwan is really back."

Wen Lingyuan looked her up and down. When their children returned home, parents would always take a close look to see if they had changed, if they had lost weight...

Wanwan has lost weight. Wen Lingyuan sobbed in pain.

"Wanwan, how could you leave the palace?"

Wen Wanyu's voice was a little hoarse: "The emperor has allowed Wanwan to leave the palace to visit mother."

"How is mother?" Her eyes were fixed on He Ruoyan, who was lying on the bed with a pale face.

My heart ached again.

She walked over quickly and lay down beside the bed. Her mother's face was pale, her lips were bloodless, and she looked a lot thinner.

"The two imperial physicians in the palace said that as long as your mother wakes up in the next two days, everything will be fine." Wen Lingyuan's voice was desolate. The two imperial physicians had done their duty, and he knew they had done their best. A day had already passed. He knew that hope was fading.

She took He Ruoyan's hand and put it on her face, not knowing whether she was trying to draw warmth from her or to pass the warmth to her mother.

The tears that had been accumulating in her eyes burst out, "Mother, mother, Wanwan is back. Can you open your eyes and look at Wanwan?"

"Mother..."

Tears slid down from the tip of her nose, dripping onto her back.

Wen Lingyuan endured the discomfort and patted her shoulder: "Wanwan, your mother will be fine."

Wen Tianyu learned that Wen Wanyu had just returned home and rushed over.

Their reactions were surprisingly consistent: "Am I seeing things right? My sister is really back?"

Wen Wanyu still had tears in her eyes and smiled, "Brother."

Wen Lingyuan said, "The Emperor is very kind to Wanwan. He allowed Wanwan to leave the palace to visit Ruoyan."

Wen Tianyu didn't think so. He looked at Wen Wanyu, wanting to hear her say it herself.

"Wanwan, is the emperor really good to you?"

Wen Wanyu got up from the ground: "The emperor is really good to me."

She smiled slightly. "When he knew my mother was in trouble, he immediately sent two imperial physicians. He also allowed me to leave the palace to visit my mother and accompanied me out of the palace."

Wen Lingyuan was frightened. He looked around cautiously, "The Emperor is accompanying you out of the palace? Where is the Emperor?"

They didn't say anything outrageous just now, did they?

Wen Wanyu said, "The emperor should be waiting for me in the carriage outside the Wen Mansion. Dad, there is no need to invite the emperor." The emperor probably doesn't like this kind of environment and is afraid of being disturbed.

Wen Lingyuan nodded.

Wen Tianyu asked: "Sister, how long can you stay?"

"Half an hour..."

At this moment, there was a noise coming from the bed.

He Ruoyan coughed a few times.

Several people quickly gathered around. Wen Wanyu knelt on the ground, tears welling in her eyes. "Mother, Mother... Can you hear Wanwan?"

He Ruoyan's eyes were not open, but her lips moved. Only when they got closer could they hear her words:

"Wanwan? Wanwan is back?"

Wen Wanyu put her face close to hers and said, "Wanwan is back."

He Ruoyan struggled to open his eyes.

A red blush crept up to her eyes, and her chin trembled. She raised her hand and touched Wen Wanyu's cheek. It was a real touch, and He Ruoyan could no longer suppress her longing for her daughter.

"She's really my Wanwan. She's really my Wanwan."

The sobbing caused the injury on the back of the head to flare up.

They hurried to comfort her.

Wen Wanyu wiped away her tears bit by bit: "Mom, don't cry anymore. Wanwan is here."

"Your Majesty, please allow Wanwan to leave the palace to visit you, Madam. You don't have to worry... You finally woke up, and I was scared to death." Wen Lingyuan could no longer hold back, threw himself on the bed, and burst into tears.

The doctor took He Ruoyan's pulse again and said that this time it was a good situation. For the next period of time, as long as He Ruoyan rested in bed, took medicine on time, and had acupuncture when necessary, he would be able to recover to his previous condition within a hundred days.

A huge stone in Wen Wanyu's heart fell to the ground.

As long as mother is alright, that's all that matters. As long as mother is alright, that's all that matters.

Wen Wanyu, Wen Lingyuan, and Wen Tianyu accompanied He Ruoyan the entire time. Aside from the frail He Ruoyan, who mostly listened, the other three chatted non-stop. They had endless things to talk about, from family matters to interesting stories from the palace...

Enjoying a rare reunion of family of four.

Soon, half an hour was up.

Wen Wanyu let go of her hand: "Mother, Wanwan is leaving."

Thousands of words condensed into one sentence: "Take good care of yourself."

He Ruoyan watched her leave reluctantly.

Wen Tianyu sent her to the back door of the Wen Mansion and watched the carriage leave.

Xie Junyao glanced at her: "What's wrong, can't bear to leave?"

Wen Wanyu nodded.

Xie Junyao turned her head and placed it on his shoulder, holding her waist with one hand so that she could cry freely. Wen Wanyu clutched his clothes in front of her chest, motionless, only sobbing from time to time.

Xie Junyao suddenly felt that he had come for the right reason. At least when she was sad, she had a shoulder to lean on.

"My mother has woken up."

"That's a good thing."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Xie Junyao said with a smile, "You have said thank you to me no less than ten times."

The curtain of the carriage was blown open by the wind. Wen Wanyu glanced outside and asked in confusion: "Huh? Where are we going? This is not the way back to the palace."

Xie Junyao said calmly: "Since you have left the palace, you can go to the market. Besides, your mother is fine now, so it's a good thing."

Wen Wanyu said softly, "Okay."

If she had to choose, she would like to be with her family. Although the opportunity to leave the palace is rare, family members always come first.

The carriage stopped under a huge locust tree.

"get off."

The two walked side by side.

"Emperor..."

Xie Junyao interrupted her, "This is outside the palace."

Wen Wanyu immediately reacted, "Then what should I call you?"

Master Xie? That's so strange. But their relationship isn't close enough to call him Jun Yao. Brother Yao, eh, that's too corny.

Xie Junyao's voice was tinged with laughter: "Then call me brother."

“…”

Does the Emperor also like cosplay? Or are they brother and sister?

Intentional.

It must be intentional.

Wen Wanyu moved closer and blinked innocently: "If I want to call you brother, then I have to stay away from you."

Xie Junyao: “…”

"Who says that if you call me brother, we must be siblings?"

Xie Junyao held her hand with great force.

Wen Wanyu was helpless: "Brother, stop making trouble."

Xie Junyao deliberately said: "Why did I make a fuss, sister."

An old man with a flowing white beard passed by and took one look at their holding hands. He sighed, "In this world, people's hearts have changed."

Xie Junyao said calmly, "What does it have to do with you?"

The old man was furious and pointed at them with a trembling finger, "You are really violating moral standards."
