"Oh dear, my little darling, please stop crying!"
Mengmeng is really a troublemaker, whining and whining every day. The Empress Dowager is at her wits' end, and she doesn't know when her mother will be able to come back!
Left with no other option, she could only ask Ouyang Zhen, but the problem was that Ouyang Zhen didn't know either.
He has already contacted Han Luoxue, who is also extremely worried when she learns that her daughter is causing trouble in the palace.
"Why don't you guys walk slowly behind me, and I'll go back first?"
She can ride a tiger, which is much faster than a horse.
"Sister Xue'er, I want to go with you, I want to ride a tiger back too!" Zhou Jie came up and grabbed Han Luoxue's hand and wouldn't let go.
Zhou Yuan frowned: "It's not safe for you to travel alone!"
Han Luoxue laughed and said, "How is it not safe? Don't forget I'm riding a tiger! And we've been traveling along mountain paths all this way!"
"Mengmeng is making a huge fuss at home right now, and I'm really worried about her!"
Zhou Yuan thought it made sense, but Zhou Jie insisted on going along.
"Sister Zhou, you should go with them! I must have been rushing all this way, and it's been too tiring!"
Zhou Yuan also wouldn't let her accompany him.
When Han Luoxue returned, she noticed that the little girl had lost a lot of weight. Before she saw her, the little girl had been crying and fussing, wanting to find her mother, but upon seeing her, she immediately turned her face away and gave Han Luoxue a hard knock on the back of her head.
Seeing Mengmeng's proud and aloof little face, Han Luoxue picked her up and kissed her twice on the cheek: "Your mother has been traveling non-stop for more than ten days without a full night's sleep, just to come back to see you as soon as possible, and you're still acting all proud and aloof?"
As she spoke, she patted Mengmeng's cute little bottom.
Mengmeng pouted, looking aggrieved, and nestled in Han Luoxue's arms, whimpering softly.
Han Luoxue picked Zhuangzhuang up as well. The little guy's eyes were like black grapes, staring intently at her.
Although she didn't cry, this expression made Han Luoxue feel even worse.
This trip will last for more than forty days.
Yunniang was relieved to see that she had finally returned.
She didn't have any symptoms during her pregnancy, which might be due to the medicine Han Luoxue gave her.
"Xue girl, you should go out less in the future. This little girl is too stubborn!" The Empress Dowager was also at her wit's end; this was the first time she had encountered such a stubborn little girl.
Mengmeng gave a haughty snort, and Han Luoxue felt that this girl could definitely understand what she was saying.
"Brother Chen!"
After calming the girl down, Han Luoxue went to the Imperial Study.
Hearing the familiar voice, Ouyang Zhen could hardly believe it.
Before Han Luoxue could even understand what was happening, she was already in a familiar embrace.
Ouyang Zhen held her tightly and kissed her passionately on the lips.
After what seemed like an eternity, both of them were panting heavily when Ouyang Zhen finally sat her down on a chair, carrying her in his arms. "Xue'er, were there any dangers along the way?"
Although he had sent quite a few people to accompany him, he still had some worries because of the unstable factor of the Western Emperor.
"No, the journey was quite smooth!"
Han Luoxue said with a grin, "You have no idea how huge their treasure trove in Xiyao Kingdom is; there's so much gold and silver jewelry inside!"
"The Western Emperor was indeed up to no good. He tried to escape several times along the way, but unfortunately... he was no match for me. When we found the treasure, he was still mocking us because there was a poisonous forest outside the treasure area, and only six of us went in. He said we could only see the treasure, but couldn't take much. Isn't he ridiculous? He was stunned when I collected all the treasure. But I left him inside; how long he lives is up to fate!"
Han Luoxue is genuinely unafraid of the Western Emperor's machinations.
Even if he managed to escape the treasure, the poison in his body would be enough to cause him suffering.
You should know that this poison was something that Doctor Xu researched for a long time before he figured it out, and there is almost no antidote!
Yes, it's a poison without an antidote. Han Luoxue used to give him only medication to alleviate the symptoms; there's no way to completely detoxify him!
"That's what they deserve!" Ouyang Zhen's face turned cold. This Western Emperor was just too clever. People really shouldn't be too clever in many situations.
"Yes, but Princess Yaoxiang is also a problem. I think she can probably guess her father's fate. Do you think she'll hold a grudge against us later?"
My feelings toward Princess Yaoxiang, Han Luoxue, are complicated. Although she came here with the intention of marrying Ouyang Zhen, she has never done anything to betray her or Ouyang Zhen since arriving in the capital.
Even when the Western Emperor threatened her, she took the initiative to come over and confess, handing over all her belongings.
This is enough to show her sincerity. Along the way, Han Luoxue also discovered that Princess Yaoxiang still had feelings for the Western Emperor.
Before returning, she asked Princess Yaoxiang if she was willing to leave, and if so, they would let her go.
Unfortunately, Princess Yaoxiang refused.
"Before I left, I instructed Zhou Yuan and Zhou Jie that if Princess Yaoxiang asked to leave alone midway, they should let her go!"
Ouyang Zhen laughed and said, "They are all unrelated people. She is just a weak woman. There is no need to care too much about her!"
"I'm just thinking about her relationship with Zhou Yuan. Zhou Yuan hasn't made any statement yet, and I don't know what he plans to do!"
After all, he was Ouyang Zhen's cousin, and he had helped him many times in the past.
Actually, if he had feelings for Princess Yaoxiang, Han Luoxue would support him.
