Chapter 415 Farewell
That night, Yu Youning slept with Yu Tingwan.
Ever since Yu Youning grew up in the past few years, he rarely slept with Yu Tingwan.
After washing up and changing into comfortable and soft pajamas, the mother and daughter lay down on the bed together.
Yu Youning, who was a little drunk before, was now completely sober.
Although my head was still dizzy, my body seemed to be floating in the air, very light.
But the mind is clear.
"Mother, Huo Qingchen is going to join the army. When he was in the Imperial College, he told me that he wanted to be a general when he grew up. Now he really is going to be a general."
Yu Tingwan had guessed it long ago.
Hearing Yu Youning say this, he turned sideways and looked at Yu Youning.
"Don't you want him to go?"
"Of course not! I'm happy for him, how could I not want him to go!"
Yu Youning spoke with extraordinary confidence, and for a moment, Yu Tingwan was not sure whether Yu Youning was telling the truth.
"Mother, I'm not the same person I used to be! I learned it a long time ago!"
Yu Tingwan looked curious, "What did you learn?"
"Learn to separate! When we were young, we could always be together, play together, study together, practice martial arts together, and travel together.
But we will always grow up! When we grow up, we have more things to do, and we also have our own ideas and things we want to accomplish.
In the morning, Huo Qingchen came to me with a confused expression, as if he had no idea what to do. I was worried about him at the time.
But now it seems that all those worries were unnecessary. In just half a day, he had already figured out what he wanted to do and made efforts to achieve it.
Although I don't know what the final outcome will be, at least for now, he has taken the first step. Every step he takes from now on will bring him closer to his desired destination! This is a great thing, and I'm happy for him!
Because he had not yet fully recovered, Yu Youning's voice seemed a little vague, as if he was talking in his sleep.
But Yu Tingwan knew that Yu Youning was not talking in her sleep, and every word and sentence she said was serious.
Yu Tingwan reached out her hand and gently patted Yu Youning's body. "My, Youning is amazing! You know so much at such a young age!"
"So, mother."
Yu Youning opened her eyes wide. Under the dim light, her eyes shone with a captivating brilliance that made people dare not look at her, yet reluctant to look away.
"Mom, what do you want to do most?"
Huo Qingchen is about to do what he likes.
What about mother?
Mother and father have always been by her side over the years.
Is it because of her existence that mother and father are delayed from doing what they want to do?
Yu Tingwan didn't expect that Yu Youning would suddenly say such a thing.
But when he looked into Yu Youning's eyes, he couldn't say the nonsense that was on the tip of his tongue.
After a long silence, Yu Tingwan said seriously, "Youning, before you were born, I had already done many things I wanted to do. After you were born, what I wanted to do most was to be by your side. I don't want to miss a single thing in your growth."
"What about Daddy?"
"Daddy's thoughts are the same as mine. Neither of us is ambitious. Being able to always be by your side, ensuring that you are safe, and allowing you to do what you like is enough for us!"
Before Yu Youning could say anything, Yu Tingwan asked another question.
"Don't you want your father and mother to accompany you, Youning?"
"Of course not. I'm just worried that you won't be able to do the things you like in order to accompany me."
"Youning, don't think too much. Accompanying you is what Mommy and Daddy want to do most. When you...don't choose Mommy and Daddy to accompany you anymore, we—"
Yu Youning immediately hugged Yu Tingwan tightly, "No way! I want to be with my father and mother forever!"
Yu Tingwan gently patted Yu Youning's back for a long time, but didn't hear Yu Youning speak again, so he knew that she had fallen asleep.
Yu Youning slept very well that night.
Although he drank too much and went to bed late, Yu Youning still woke up early.
It was still dark outside when Yu Youning suddenly sat up.
Yu Tingwan felt strange when he saw Yu Youning suddenly sitting up.
"Youning, what's wrong with you? Are you having a nightmare?"
Otherwise, why did he suddenly get up?
Yu Youning shook his head, "I didn't have a nightmare. Huo Qingchen is leaving today, and I'm going to see him off."
Hearing this, Yu Tingwan nodded, "That's what I should do."
"Mom, please sleep a little longer."
As Yu Tingwan spoke, she began to put on her clothes in a hurry.
Since she was already awake, how could Yu Tingwan continue to sleep? She also got up.
As soon as Yu Youning finished packing and went out, she saw Jiang Lingzhou waiting outside the yard.
Jiang Lingzhou smiled and said, "I knew you were going, so I came here early to wait for you."
Just as Yu Youning was about to speak, Jiang Lingzhou said, "Youning, do you know that I am your junior brother?"
Yu Youning blinked, eyes full of innocence, "I only have one junior brother!"
"Really?" Jiang Lingzhou smiled. "But that's not what you said last night! You said you had three junior brothers!"
It wasn't like Yu Youning was completely drunk last night.
Hearing Jiang Lingzhou say this, she already remembered what happened last night.
It would be fine if no one mentioned it.
Now that Jiang Lingzhou suddenly brought it up, Yu Tingwan felt extremely embarrassed and even wanted to find a hole in the ground to bury herself in.
"Junior Brother!"
Jiang Lingzhou laughed heartily, "Now you feel embarrassed. Let's see if you dare to drink so much again in the future!"
Yu Youning begged for mercy again and again, "I won't dare to do it again! I won't dare to do it again!"
Seeing that Yu Youning said she didn't dare to do it anymore, Jiang Lingzhou stopped mentioning what happened last night.
The carriage was ready, and the two got on it as soon as they left the house.
Halfway through the journey, he met Chu Huaixu and Wen Xiangli, and not far away, he met Zhai Heming.
Time was running out, so the few of them just said hello and hurried on their way.
When we arrived at Shili Pavilion outside the city, the sun had just risen.
The fiery red sun hung in the eastern sky, and the orange-red light shone on everyone's face.
Huo Qingchen and Huo Yun'an slowly walked over towards this light.
As they got closer, Huo Qingchen saw Yu Youning and the others at a glance.
An expression of ecstasy instantly appeared on his face. He spurred his horse and ran quickly towards Yu Youning and others.
"Youning! Your Highness! Why are you here?"
"Of course we're here to see you off!" Yu Youning said with a smile, "You don't think that by leaving so early, you can avoid us seeing you off, right? That's impossible! We are definitely here to see you off!"
Listening to Yu Youning's words, Huo Qingchen laughed a little embarrassedly, "I don't want to avoid it, I'm just afraid that everyone will feel sad when we say goodbye."
"We won't feel uncomfortable, don't worry!" Zhai Heming said with a smile, "I've prepared a piece of soft armor for you. Keep it!"
As Zhai Heming spoke, he handed a bundle to Huo Qingchen.
At this time, Huo Qingchen didn't hesitate to take it and said, "Thank you! I will wear it well."
Wen Xiangli took out a book and said, "This is a collection of military books I read through many times. You can take a look at it when you have time."
This is indeed something that the Minister of Culture would give!
Jiang Lingzhou took out a porcelain bottle and said, "I don't have anything special to offer, so I can only make some pills for you. The effect won't be as good as Youning's, but it's better than nothing!"
Chu Huaixu took out a box and said, "This is a hidden weapon I had someone make for you. You are familiar with all kinds of weapons and hidden weapons, so you will know how to use them at first sight. This will be an additional means of self-defense for me."
Huo Qingchen was originally a fan of weapons. When he heard this, he wanted to open it and take a look right away, but he finally held back.
Seeing that everyone else had finished delivering their gifts, Yu Youning sighed helplessly, "I prepared the same medicine as my junior brother, so please don't despise it."
“How could it be!”
Huo Qingchen immediately took it and said, "Whatever you give me, even if it's just grass roots or branches, I will treasure it well."
Huo Qingchen put all the things in the saddlebag on the horse's back.
After taking a deep look at Yu Youning and the others, he bowed and clasped his hands towards them.
"Everyone, I'm leaving!"
They had a mission to accomplish, time was tight, and the task was heavy, so they couldn't delay on the road for too long.
Yu Youning and the others didn't want to delay him any longer, so they also bowed and clasped their hands.
"Take care of yourself!"
Huo Qingchen held the reins in one hand and the whip in the other, and after a slight whip, he turned the horse and quickly returned to the team.
The team set off again, and although the speed was not fast, it was not slow either.
After a while, only the back could be seen.
Yu Youning didn't look away until he couldn't even see the back anymore.
"Let's go back too!"
Having said that, Yu Youning turned around.
As soon as I turned around, I saw a horse not far away.
The person on the horse was none other than Xiao Muyu.
"Sister Muyu?"
As Yu Youning spoke, he rode his horse towards Xiao Muyu.
"Sister Muyu, when did you come here? Why didn't you say goodbye to Brother Huo?"
Xiao Muyu smiled and said, "I said everything I needed to say yesterday. I have nothing more to say today. I just came to see him off."
"Don't be sad, Sister Muyu. It won't be long before Brother Huo and the others are back!"
This isn't a lifetime, there will always be a time when we meet again.
Even if Huo Yun'an can't come back for a while, he will go to Liangcheng after Xiao Muyu develops the mechanical bird.
Xiao Muyu had a faint smile on his face all the time, "I'm not sad."
She won't be sad no matter whether they can meet again in the future.
As long as they are good to each other and do what they want to do, that's enough.
It was only until just now that she finally understood Wen Beiyao.
I understand why he gave up being with his mother.
