"Huh? Wanyue? She...what happened to her?"
Jiang Yuyao finally regained some strength. She heard Murong Ye's laughter in a daze. She opened her eyes with difficulty, and her beautiful watery eyes were filled with great doubts.
"She deliberately set up a formation outside my bedroom, making me mistakenly believe it was time to get up early and attend court, thus ruining our wonderful time together..."
"My dear, should you make it up to your husband? Hmm?"
Murong Ye looked at Jiang Yuyao, whose eyes were confused and whose hair was messy, and suddenly felt a little itchy in his heart.
He suddenly pulled Jiang Yuyao over, put his finger on her earlobe, and laughed hoarsely.
"ah!"
This familiar scene made Jiang Yuyao exclaim in surprise.
Subconsciously, she wanted to push Murong Ye away and keep a distance from him.
Then, meeting those eyes filled with a hazy smile, she suddenly felt as if all her strength had been drained away. She could only allow him to manipulate her...
It was not until noon that Jiang Yuyao took a bath, changed her clothes, and was supported by several maids to come to the Cining Palace.
Zuo Yexuan is staying here temporarily.
After all, Murong Ye had announced her death due to illness, and Zuo Yexuan could not suddenly restore her identity and appear in the public eye.
but……
Murong Ye really didn't want his mother to miss this important event in his life, so he could only announce to the public that he felt a sense of familiarity with Zuo Yexuan, who called herself Zuo Xiaotao, at first sight, so he recognized her as his adoptive mother and temporarily lived in the Cining Palace.
More than ten years later, Zuo Yexuan was in a good mood when she returned to this cage.
That repressed, miserable self seemed to have completely died in the past.
He died on the day the Dog Emperor died.
Jiang Yuyao naturally knew that Zuo Xiaotao was actually Zuo Yexuan in disguise.
The face and name are different.
But she is Aunt Zuo.
Aunt Zuo and my mother were lifelong close friends, and she and Aunt Zuo had been close since childhood.
However, even so, Jiang Yuyao was still a little nervous.
After all, it's to meet the mother-in-law.
Even so, this mother-in-law watched me grow up.
She was also a little worried that she might have done something wrong and that Aunt Zuo might dislike her.
"Your son, I pay my respects to your mother."
Jiang Yuyao entered the hall and bowed respectfully.
"Yuyao, Yuyao, you girl, get up quickly."
Jiang Yuyao's respectful gesture startled Zuo Yexuan. She hurried forward and helped Jiang Yuyao up with her own hands.
"Come on, come on, sit down and have a rest."
"You've been weak since childhood. Although you have some cultivation now... But that guy Ye'er... ahem, he's young and impulsive, and doesn't know how to be gentle with women. You've worked hard..."
Zuo Yexuan looked at Jiang Yuyao, who looked tired, and knew that she must not have slept well last night.
"Oh, mother~"
As expected, Jiang Yuyao blushed again.
The inevitable beautiful scenes in her mind made her feel helpless and her face flushed.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Zuo Yexuan smiled knowingly, then reminded Jiang Yuyao to take care of herself, and let her go back and rest early.
After Jiang Yuyao left, Zuo Yexuan suddenly felt like revisiting her old place, so she dismissed her attendants and started strolling in the yard.
Before I knew it, I had strolled to the back garden.
Looking at the patches of crimson maple leaves, Zuo Yexuan suddenly remembered the pot of wine she had buried many years ago when she was full of grievances and sadness.
"After so many years of drifting in the harem, I've forgotten that night."
"Later, I heard that the back garden had been renovated several times. I wonder if that pot of wine is still there?"
Zuo Yexuan was confused.
I simply took a shovel and dug towards the location I remembered.
As the sun was setting, the back garden, which was once full of flowers, now looked like a piece of embroidered silk with several black holes burned into it.
"Hmm...Is this the onset of Alzheimer's? I remember it, under the ninth row of maple trees on the south side."
Zuo Yexuan's face was covered in mud. She wiped the sweat off her face in a very ungraceful manner and kept muttering to herself in confusion.
At this time...
Suddenly, a surprised and delighted female voice spoke tentatively.
"My Lady...My Lady...is that you?"
This sudden sound scared Zuo Yexuan.
She turned her head and saw a noble lady with her hair in a bun, holding a box in her hand and looking at her with tears on her face.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, it really is you! I knew you were blessed with a long life. How could you suddenly die of illness? You are indeed alive!"
"That's great, that's great. This way, Xiaotao can rest assured."
Zuo Yexuan was slightly stunned. The noble lady in front of her was none other than Xiaotao, her maid who had been with her since she was a child.
"Xiao Tao, Xiao Tao, don't cry..."
Zuo Yexuan recognized Xiaotao and saw that she was crying non-stop, and she couldn't help but feel a little panicked.
She used to be afraid of this little girl's tears, but now looking at Xiaotao's slightly bulging belly, she was even more panicked.
Zuo Yexuan quickly stepped forward and gently wiped away Xiaotao's tears.
"My Lady, it's really you, it's really you, wuwu..."
"How have you been these years? Xiaotao misses you so much. Woo woo woo..."
Xiaotao continued to cry.
Zuo Yexuan was afraid that she would faint from crying.
"Xiao Tao, Xiao Tao, please listen to my explanation."
Zuo Yexuan quickly comforted her softly.
In fact, at the beginning, when she planned to leave the palace, the cage that had trapped her for more than 30 years, she didn't think too much about it.
At that time, I didn’t even have a plan for my future, let alone taking Xiaotao with me.
