Chapter 258 Farewell

"We just arrived in Kyoto and you're leaving?"

Mo Xunyan felt regretful in his heart.

Chen Shiyi nodded, feeling regretful, sad, and a little happy at the moment.

"Pei Luoshu, it's really not easy to do this for you."

Yes, it's not easy.

This is a position that many men risked their lives for, but for his own sake, he gave up.

Sometimes she would wonder if she was too selfish.

Is it really worth it for Pei Luoshu to do this for himself?

Mo Xunyan smiled.

"You idiot, you deserve him to be so nice to you. Don't be too self-critical and guilty. Everyone makes different choices and walks a different path. There is no right or wrong."

When she arrived at the courtyard where Wen Zhirou lived, she heard the news that Chen Shiyi was leaving, and she was not as calm as Mo Xunyan.

"Now that you're gone, I'm afraid it will be hard for us to meet again in this life."

Chen Shiyi held her hands tightly.

"When you have time in the future, come and see me. I will write to you often."

Wen Zhirou's voice was choked with sobs.

"Eleven, go say goodbye to my brother. At least say goodbye to him. Please have pity on him..."

Chen Shiyi hesitated for a while, but still firmly refused.

"Please thank your brother for me. I will always remember your life-saving grace that day. I will go through fire and water for you in the future. But it is better for him and me not to meet. If we meet, we will quarrel. I am afraid that it will hurt our relationship."

Warm and gentle tears flowed.

"Eleven, even if he was wrong, it's time to let it go after all these years."

Chen Shiyi's voice was also slightly hoarse.

"He's right, but his choice is wrong. I, I'm leaving first."

The moment Chen Shiyi walked out of Wen Zhirou's courtyard, tears suddenly streamed down his face.

It is better not to meet. The grudges at that moment have vanished, leaving only some of the past. Those good and bad memories have changed beyond recognition in the passing of time, until they become a drop in the ocean in one's lifetime.

Without engraved stone tablets, how can there be unforgettable memories? The quicksand of the desert covers the footprints, the snow of the northwest covers the mud, and the wheel of time can erase too many traces.

If next spring comes, I hope its roots will sprout new buds, bloom new flowers, and bear the sweetest fruits...

When he came back, Pei Luoshu and Fu Feng were sorting books in the study.

He saw Chen Shiyi coming back with a bright smile.

"We're leaving tomorrow. Where are you going first?"

Chen Shiyi hugged him, leaned in his arms, and rubbed his head against his warmth.

"Let's go to Wonju first. I'll go see how my boat is doing."

"good."

"What about you? Is there anywhere you want to go?"

"Wherever my wife wants to go is where I want to go."

Outside, someone came in.

"What is it?"

"It's the emperor's order. The emperor said that Master Pei is leaving and wants to give you some food."

Chen Shiyi laughed.

"You have a good relationship with him?"

Pei Luo smiled indifferently.

"We are of similar age, so we can always play together."

"No wonder he recognized you at first sight and was willing to help you when you were in trouble."

"I'll go first. I guess I'll be back late tonight. If it's late, go to bed first and don't wait for me."

"good."

There are many boxes of books in the study, all of which Pei Luoshu reads on a daily basis, and some antique ornaments. It would be very inconvenient to carry them on the road, so if he sells them tomorrow, the money will be gone. However, these are extremely expensive items and it will be difficult to sell them all at once.

There were many rare items in the warehouse, all of which were rare items brought from various places by her friends, including cloth, jewelry, and many rare medicinal materials. They were first deposited with Mo Xunyan so that she could sell them slowly and convert them into silver.

When she and her servants had put everything away, she looked up and saw the moon was already at its zenith.

Busy times always pass quickly.

Chen Shiyi drank a cup of tea in the house and asked the servant outside.

"Go to the old man's carriage outside the palace and ask him why he hasn't come back yet at this late hour?"

"yes."

Chen Shiyi and Bailing stewed a bowl of ginseng chicken soup and put it on the stove over a low flame so that Pei Luoshu could have a hot bite when he came back later.

Not long after, someone from outside the palace gate came to report.

"Madam, the master's carriage is still outside, and the Fufeng guards are waiting. I heard from the eunuchs in the palace that the emperor and the master are still drinking. Would you like to rest first?"

Chen Shiyi nodded.

"You step back first. I'll call you if there's anything else."

Bai Ling laughed aside.

"Your Majesty and my brother-in-law have a deep bond, but no matter how deep the bond is, they can't drink all night, right?"

Chen Shiyi also laughed, but then he thought of something and was instantly shocked.

Bailing saw Chen Shiyi's face change drastically and asked quickly.

"Sister, what's wrong?"

Chen Shiyi's eyes flickered and moved around, full of fear.

She paced back and forth anxiously by herself.

"Yes, yes, drinking. How can you drink all night? No, no..."

She quickly called the boy over.

"Drive me to the palace gate now, quickly, immediately."

Chen Shiyi hurried to the palace gate. Fu Feng saw her and hurried to greet her.

"Madam, why are you here? Didn't I send someone to bring you the news?"

Chen Shiyi waved his hands.

“This is not right.”

She hurried to the palace gate, but the guards stopped her immediately.

"No one is allowed to enter the palace without permission, otherwise they will be killed without mercy."

Chen Shiyi roared.

"I am the Lord of Yongyi County. Who dares to touch me?"

The row of imperial guards outside the door quickly saluted and greeted.

The leader said.

"County Lord Yongyi, the palace is now under lockdown and the key to the palace gate has been left behind. Please go back first and come back tomorrow."

Chen Shiyi raised his chin slightly and said with sharp eyes.

"My husband is drinking with His Majesty in the palace and has not returned yet. He always gets heartaches when he drinks, so I came to give him some medicine. Please ask the eunuch to pass on the message."

Several people looked at each other, and one of them said.

"I have sent someone to pass on the message. Please wait for a moment, County Lord."

After a while, the messenger brought the news.

"The emperor said that Master Pei has already rested in the palace. Please rest assured, County Master, just give me the medicine."

Chen Shiyi took out a purse from his waist.

"Please make sure to hand the medicine to Master Pei."

"yes."

The eunuch's figure then disappeared into the darkness.

Chen Shiyi looked at the deep palace wall, which looked like the mouth of a giant beast that could swallow a person at any time.

The uneasiness in her heart grew stronger.

Pei Luoshu would not be without sense of propriety, and the emperor would not easily keep someone in the palace just because of drinking.

Something happened to him!
