Chapter 113 Farewell
General Li looked a little lonely: "Mingqian and I will leave the day after tomorrow. I'll have to trouble you to take care of Mucheng and Muyuan. Chenyu seems to be more sensible than before, but she is still a little impatient when doing things. You must stay by her side and persuade her more..."
General Li's advice, as if he was entrusting an orphan to someone else, made Baili Yanqing feel uncomfortable: "Old General, the capital has me and the princess, so you and your uncle can rest assured about the border."
"Yan Qing, the emperor is afraid of the Li family, so he will naturally be afraid of Chen Yu. Can you do it? No matter what happens in the future, can you stand by Chen Yu's side?"
Baili Yanqing smiled and said, "Grandfather, I will always protect her no matter if I die. But I don't understand, why do you continue if you don't know the emperor's thoughts?"
"The Li family has been protected by the royal family for generations, and their fate has long been closely linked to that of the Su family. There are some things that we know, but there is no way to solve them. I hope that one day in the future, we can break through the deadlock!"
General Li could see that Emperor Jing of Wei had murderous intentions towards the Li family, but he was powerless to change it. If the Li family handed over the military power to appease the emperor, then the Li family would become fish on the chopping board, at the mercy of others. He could not let the Li family end up in such a situation, so he could only hold on to the military power and protect the Li family.
But as a subject, can you really defeat the emperor?
Baili Yanqing's gaze fell on Su Chenyu, who was lying on the table and sleeping unconsciously.
As long as Su Chenyu can be protected, what does it matter even if the entire Dayu court is overthrown?
When Su Chenyu woke up, she found herself lying on the bed in the bedroom. She sat up and realized that it was already dark.
Baili Yanqing brought a bowl of hangover soup: "Drink this bowl of hangover soup, otherwise your head will hurt."
Su Chenyu picked up the bowl and drank it all in one gulp: "By the way, did you win over them in the end?"
Amid Su Chenyu's anticipation, Baili Yanqing nodded: "Of course you win."
"marvelous."
Seeing Su Chenyu's happy face, Baili Yanqing thought about it and decided to tell her the news that General Li would leave Beijing the day after tomorrow.
Su Chenyu was not surprised: "It's not a big deal for grandpa and uncle to stay in the capital. It's better for them to go to the border and stay away from the troubles in the capital. As for the two cousins, father will naturally leave hostages in the capital to contain the Li family, but this way, no one will dare to provoke them."
"You can think so." Baili Yanqing ruffled Su Chenyu's hair, "The day after tomorrow we will go and see off our grandfather and the others."
Su Chenyu nodded: "Tuo."
…
In the palace, Ling Yu led the guards to patrol around the cold palace. Faintly, he seemed to hear a faint cry.
“I don’t know how many deposed concubines have died in this cold palace. The resentment is so great that every time I get close to them, I feel uncomfortable all over.” An unknown guard complained, sounding creepy amid the crying.
"You guys wait here, I'll go see who is playing tricks." Ling Yu went over following the sound of crying.
The cold palace looked extremely desolate during the day, and even more desolate and cold at night. Ling Yu looked around for a long time, and saw a woman in plain white clothes curled up and crying under the dilapidated corridor.
"Who are you? Why are you crying here in a room so late at night?" Ling Yu asked sternly.
The woman raised her head. Under the moonlight, her already beautiful face looked particularly charming. The traces of tears on her face made her look even more fragile.
Ling Yu remembered this woman: "Are you Zhixia, the palace maid of Beirong? Why are you here in the middle of the night?"
Zhixia looked at Lingyu pitifully: "I'm afraid of those people."
