Chapter 562 Farewell
The next day.
Wei Qing got up early, and Tang Li woke up too, looking at him with sleepy eyes.
Wei Qing leaned over and kissed her on the forehead: "Sleep a little longer."
Tangli shook his head and insisted on getting up.
She wants to send him off.
Wei Qing looked at her stubborn little face and helped her get up.
Change clothes, wash up, and have breakfast.
After doing all this, the two walked towards the door hand in hand, and saw four children standing in a row at the entrance of the yard.
Xu Jue and Wei Ziang were both wearing long robes, with tall and graceful figures and clear eyes. Wei Ziyi was shorter, with a delicate face that still had a lot of childishness. Sanbao was still wearing a red dress and a high ponytail, with round eyes and chubby cheeks, looking very cute.
During dinner yesterday, the four children all knew that Wei Qing was going to Wangxian County today and might be gone for a while. So, they all got up in the morning and came to see him off.
Wei Qing looked at the children, smiled brightly, took Tang Li's hand and walked over, then put his arm around the shoulder of Xu Jue who was nearby.
"Let's go."
The whole family left the mansion in a grand procession and got on a carriage.
Imperial envoy Wei Qing did not go alone. He called a few of his men along, as well as the key figure in the case—the county magistrate's son, to meet at the city gate.
So the carriage went straight to the city gate.
At this time, it was still early and not many people were entering or leaving the city gate.
The family got off the carriage.
The four children said goodbye to Wei Qing, looking at him eagerly, feeling reluctant to leave.
Wei Qing patted Xu Jue and Wei Ziang's heads and said, "You two are already adults. Take good care of your brothers and sisters, and take care of your mother."
Xu Jue and Wei Ziang nodded.
Wei Ziang said, "Dad, don't worry."
Wei Qing touched Wei Ziyi's head and said, "Read less, don't damage your eyes."
Wei Ziyi nodded obediently.
Then he went to Sanbao, who hugged Wei Qing's arm directly, rubbed his face against his shoulder and said coquettishly: "Daddy, I will be good~ Can you come back soon~"
Wei Qing's expression was very gentle, and he pinched her little face: "Okay."
Sanbao stood on tiptoe, Wei Qing also bent down, and the father and daughter whispered to each other.
"Daddy has to come back soon, otherwise Mommy will miss her so much that she won't be able to eat."
The smile on Wei Qing's face became even more intense, and he lightly tapped her upturned little nose.
Wei Ziyi reached out and poked Sanbao's arm.
Sanbao blinked at him, understanding what he meant, and let go of Wei Qing. Together with his brothers, they retreated to a corner, leaving the seat next to Daddy to Mom.
Tang Li stared at Wei Qing without blinking.
Wei Qing looked at her little face, his heart filled with reluctance. He reached out his hand and gently stroked her face.
Tang Li took out an amulet from her sleeve, hanging it with a red string. She had asked for it the last time she and Madam Su went to the temple together.
"Husband, please keep this amulet." Tang Li said.
Her greatest wish is that her husband's trip goes smoothly.
Wei Qing lowered his head and let Tang Li hang the amulet around his neck.
Wei Qing put the amulet into his clothes and placed it close to his heart.
The two chatted, not realizing how much time had passed until the people from the Ministry of Justice who were going to travel with Wei Qing arrived.
Wei Qing kissed Tang Li on the lips, then jumped on his horse, looked at him deeply, and rode away.
The rest followed.
Tang Li watched their backs go away and then disappear, feeling empty inside.
Tangli's little face fell.
She knew how dangerous this trip was for her husband.
Wangxian County is the eldest princess's territory, and all the people there are hers. If her husband goes there, he will be like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth, and will be in great danger.
However, her husband has a great vengeance on his head and bears the heavy responsibility of seeking justice for the Xiao family, so she cannot do nothing.
Her husband hadn't done anything, but had been planning it all along. Now, he finally had the chance to break the deadlock...
The eldest princess herself is one of his enemies, and if the eldest princess turns against the emperor, it will be a huge blow to the emperor, the eldest princess, and Zhao Shu who depends on the eldest princess.
The county magistrate's son came to the capital with a letter written in blood to file a complaint with the emperor. This opportunity is rare.
So her husband caught it keenly.
How can you get a tiger cub if you don't learn the tiger's teachings?
"Mom, shall we go back?" Wei Ziang saw his mother standing with a big belly, and was afraid that she was tired, so he walked over and said.
Tangli nodded: "Let's go back."
Xu Jue and Wei Ziang helped Tang Li onto the carriage.
Five people were sitting in the carriage.
After Wei Qing left, the five of them felt a little depressed.
Wei Ziyi cheered up and told a few interesting stories, which distracted everyone and made them smile.
"Mom, look in front of you. That's the little red building where the scholar meets the fox fairy at night that I just mentioned." Wei Ziyi said.
Wei Ziyi lifted the curtain, and Tang Li looked out of the window and saw an exquisite red building.
There was a hint of curiosity in her eyes.
This red building is quite tall, about three or four meters. There are paintings of ladies on the red windows, which are very exquisite and unique.
"Mom, there are many books in this small red building. The owner is Young Master Liu Yue. I have been there once..." Wei Ziyi said with longing.
Tang Li said, "This Young Master Liu Yue is quite an elegant man."
"What do you mean by an elegant person? He's just a male concubine!"
Outside the carriage, a man dressed like a scholar heard what he heard and looked disdainful.
Male favorite?
Tangli looked surprised.
At this moment, the window facing them suddenly opened and a white figure appeared in the window.
The man was about twenty-four or twenty-five years old, with handsome features and a scholarly air about him, like the bright moon. However, his features were cold and his eyes were indifferent, giving off a feeling of loneliness and arrogance.
The young man's gaze drifted over, and the scholar who was standing there to rest changed his expression and walked away quickly.
Could this be...
Wei Ziyi got off the carriage and bowed to the person on the window. The person on the window nodded slightly and closed the window.
Wei Ziyi got on the carriage.
The carriage continued to move forward.
After walking a distance, Wei Ziyi spoke, "Mother, Young Master Liu Yue is the eldest princess's... The Little Red Mansion was also built for him by the eldest princess. Regardless of Young Master Liu Yue, he is a very talented person. He would invite some people to the Little Red Mansion to study and discuss Taoism... But I only attended once and never held it again."
Tang Li was surprised, thinking that the young man with clear features just now was actually the eldest princess's male favorite?
She couldn't describe the feeling in her heart and looked at Wei Ziyi: "Why did you only go there once?"
"Very few people participate, and those who do all say sarcastic things and look down on Young Master Liu Yue. If they look down on him, why do they participate? And if they do participate, why are they so sarcastic? It makes it impossible for us book lovers to watch it." Wei Ziyi muttered.
"Mom, Young Master Liuyue is actually quite talented. If he had taken the imperial examination, he would have surely passed. I don't know why he wanted to..." Wei Ziyi was puzzled.
Tang Li patted his head and said, "Everyone has their own choices, and some people may not be able to choose their own way."
