Chapter 606 It’s Really Him
When the old emperor heard the words "Mr. Cao", his heart was shocked for no reason, and his thoughts were suddenly pulled back to the palace coup more than ten years ago.
I don't remember the scene of General Cao kneeling in front of me and swearing an oath, but it is still vivid in my mind. He said that if he didn't find the two princes, he would never come back.
Since that day, he really never came back. It has been more than ten years since we last met. Whenever I think of this, my heart aches.
Thinking of the two poor princes who were stranded outside and no one knew whether they were dead or alive, he felt that his father was very incompetent.
He felt even more guilty about not being able to find the two princes as he had failed to fulfill Furong's last wish before her death.
Seeing Uncle Murong's eyes filled with tears, Han Yuwan frowned.
"Uncle Murong, are you okay?"
Why did this old man look so excited, his lips were trembling, but I didn't say anything.
“…………” The old emperor came back to his senses, quickly calmed himself down, and forced a smile.
"Oh, it's nothing. I just remembered something from the past. By the way, kid, keep talking. Who is that Mr. Cao?"
Han Yuwan didn't think about anything else and really believed what the old emperor said, so she continued talking.
"Hmm... that Mr. Cao seems to have a strange temper, but he's a nice guy and his kung fu is pretty good."
As she spoke and thought, her eyes suddenly lit up.
"By the way, he really likes being with Brother Murong, and he seems to respect him very much."
Although he had only been in the Far North for a few days, he could see that Old Cao respected Brother Murong very much and enjoyed being with him.
“…………” The old emperor’s heart skipped a beat.
Emotions rose again, but this time he controlled them.
"Oh, so that old man Cao is a great martial arts master!"
"Yeah." Han Yuwan nodded and continued to add:
"It's far more than that. That old man is also very good at construction. He was responsible for installing all the greenhouse covers built by my sixth brother."
"Building!" the old emperor murmured.
The hand holding the corner of the table tightened again and again. General Cao also liked architecture very much back then and had a lot of research on it.
Could it be that...
He suppressed the excitement in his heart and curled the corners of his lips at Han Yuwan.
"I remembered that I have something else to do, so I'll leave first. I'll talk to my niece another day."
Having said that, he stood up and was about to go out, but seemed to remember something and turned back to look at her.
"By the way, your uncle has already sent a message to your father. If he agrees, you and Bai'er will be engaged."
"Thank you, Uncle Murong!" Han Yuwan smiled with her eyes curved, but soon frowned again.
"But Brother Murong doesn't seem to like me very much."
Seeing the girl's aggrieved look, the old emperor raised the corners of his lips in satisfaction.
"Don't worry about this matter. Your uncle will take care of everything."
After saying that, he turned around and walked away with big strides. He knew his son best.
He looked at this girl all day long as if she were a thorn in his side, but actually, he didn't hate her at all in his heart.
Instead, he had an indescribable feeling towards this girl, but the brat just didn't want to admit it.
If Old Han gives in, I'll figure out how to deal with him then.
But the most important thing at the moment is not this matter. He has to leave the palace quickly to meet that old man Cao to see if he is the General Cao from back then.
This matter is more important than anything else and must be done immediately. Thinking of this, he turned around and glanced at the eunuch Xishan beside him.
"Go and prepare my horse."
"Yes." Eunuch Xishan bowed hurriedly.
Suddenly he came to his senses and looked at the emperor with a confused look on his face.
"Prepare the horses?"
I must have heard it wrong. The emperor always travels in a carriage. How could he ride a horse?
Looking at the old man's confused look, the old emperor's beard stood up in anger.
"Ah, are you deaf? You can't even hear what I'm saying!"
I have explained it so clearly, but he is still like this. Doesn't he know how anxious I am?
"Um... yes, I'll have someone prepare the horses right away."
Eunuch Xishan wiped the sweat from his forehead. The emperor was really angry and ran out at a trot.
The old emperor changed into a simple casual outfit and rode out of the palace with a dozen personal soldiers.
But it’s really hard for Grandpa Xishan. He used to ride horses when he was young, and he hasn’t ridden one for many years.
Plus, there wasn't much flesh on his body, and the bones were about to break.
In order to catch up with the emperor in front of him, he squeezed the horse's belly with his two skinny legs all the way. By the time he arrived at Murong Bai's farm, his legs were so weak that he could no longer move.
Seeing the emperor dismount, he quickly slipped off the horse and ran up to him with shaking legs.
"Your Majesty, I will send someone to inform the Crown Prince right away."
"Bullshit report!" The old emperor glared at him fiercely.
If he wanted them to know, why would he wear casual clothes and ride a horse? This old man is getting more and more confused.
He couldn't even see this little thing. The more I look at it, the angrier I get. Otherwise, I wouldn't have cursed.
“…………”Eunuch Xishan’s mouth twitched fiercely.
I don’t know what the emperor is worried about, but he is so anxious that he even swears.
The personal guards following behind him still looked as if they were keeping strangers away, but the raised corners of their mouths revealed their inner thoughts.
Eunuch Xishan glared at them fiercely, then nodded obediently to the emperor.
"Yes, yes, it's my fault. It's my negligence. Then I..."
He kept bowing and apologizing to the emperor, but the old emperor had no time to pay attention to him and walked straight in.
When Eunuch Xishan looked up, there was no trace of the emperor in front of him. When he looked up, he found that he had already walked so far away.
Without hesitation, he trotted after him.
I could see the bustling work going on here from a distance, and when I got closer, the scene was even more lively.
Two large pits have been dug and glass covers are being installed.
The old emperor glanced at the crowd, hoping to see that familiar face.
But after searching for a long time, I still couldn't find the person I was looking for. I felt inexplicably disappointed and wondered if I was overthinking it and that Mr. Cao was not the person I thought he was.
Just as I was thinking about it, an old voice came from my ear, and it sounded quite confident.
"Left, left, left, yes, yes, come down a little bit..."
“………………”The old emperor frowned.
I vaguely felt that the voice seemed very familiar, so I looked in the direction of the sound.
After pushing through the layers of people, I saw the slightly old figure next to the pit.
The man was directing everyone to install the frame of the cover on the pit.
It was not very clear from the back, so the old emperor moved closer to the crowd. When he saw the 60% familiar face, his cloudy old eyes instantly turned red.
Emotions also become difficult to control.
“………………”
It’s him! It’s really him! General Cao is really back!!!
