Chapter 151 Bringing Qianxue Back to the Palace
On the way back.
Feng Xiyao and Qianxue rode in the carriage together.
Qianxue looked at the beautiful and noble woman in front of her, and thought that since he was the emperor, the woman in front of her should be... the empress...
“…”
Thinking of this, she lowered her eyes to hide the loneliness in her eyes.
Feng Xiyao noticed that she was looking at him and turned to look at her.
This woman had a pretty face, delicate and innocent. I thought that it was she who saved Mo Cangyan after I led the black bear away.
Thinking that she was Mo Cangyan's savior, Feng Xiyao smiled at her.
"Thank you for saving the emperor and my husband!"
“…”
Hearing her mention her husband, Qianxue was stunned for a moment and waved her hands hurriedly: "It's okay, it's okay, I'm a doctor, it's my duty to save people!"
Seeing her reserved expression but clear eyes, Feng Xiyao's smile deepened and he expressed his sincere gratitude.
"Thank you so much, no matter what the reason is, I will thank you very much when I return to the palace!"
“…”
Qianxue felt a little depressed. She didn't save him for anything, so what did she think of herself by saying that?
But she was the queen and couldn't say anything, so she could only nod.
"Thank you... Her Majesty!"
“…”
Feng Xiyao didn't know what was wrong with her. She was fine just now, why did she look so unhappy now?
Qianxue felt very aggrieved. She opened the car curtain and looked for the figure that could make her feel at ease. However, she looked everywhere but couldn't find him. Thinking that the man might be on the other side, she could only lower the car curtain in disappointment.
The mountain road was difficult to travel on and the carriage was shaking.
Feng Xiyao opened the curtain to get some fresh air, and when she looked up she saw Mo Cangyan riding a horse outside the carriage.
The man also turned to look at her and smiled gently at her.
Seeing him, Feng Xiyao couldn't help laughing, and finally she simply leaned on the car window to look at him.
"Does the wound still hurt?"
Mo Cangyan shook his head: "It's okay now!"
"That's good, but we should still let the imperial physician take a look when we get back." Feng Xiyao said worriedly.
Mo Cangyan nodded: "Okay!"
"You don't know how worried we are about you. When the Queen Mother found out about you, she was even more worried about you. A lot of things happened in the palace..."
When Qianxue heard the Queen say that she would go back to see the imperial physician, she suddenly felt depressed. Did she mean that she didn't trust herself?
She felt a little sad and looked up at Mo Cangyan.
When we were in the village, he would drink whatever I gave him and would protect himself...
Mo Cangyan was listening to Feng Xiyao talking, but his eyes uncontrollably looked behind Feng Xiyao and met Qianxue's eyes in the carriage.
“…”
Qianxue looked at him with grievance and resentment, tears slowly welling up in her eyes.
Mo Cangyan saw the tears in her eyes and felt uncomfortable.
Feng Xiyao was talking about how she had taken Concubine Li out of the palace. Just as she was about to say how hard it was for her to find him, she noticed that he wasn't looking at her, but was looking behind her...
She followed his gaze, turned to look at the woman behind her, and saw that she was also staring at Mo Cangyan.
Seeing Feng Xiyao turning to look at her, Qianxue withdrew her gaze and clasped her hands in grievance.
Feng Xiyao felt that something was wrong between the two of them, but she couldn't put her finger on it.
"Mo Cangyan..."
The man came back to his senses and looked at her: "What's wrong?"
“…”
Feng Xiyao stared at him for a while, not knowing what to say. She shook her head and lowered the curtain.
She wanted to tell him that it was very hard to find him, the snow was heavy, the cave was very cold, and the black bear was very scary...
…
After walking for several days, they finally returned to Shangjing.
Mo Lingyun, Zhang Luoyi and the Queen Mother were waiting for them at the palace gate.
Feng Xiyao got off the carriage and immediately ran to the Queen Mother. The grievances she had suffered along the way made her eyes red.
"Mother~"
The Queen Mother saw her slightly red eyes, grabbed her hand with concern, patted the back of her hand, and said with concern.
"Thank you for your hard work, Queen!"
Feng Xiyao swallowed the sadness in her heart and shook her head.
Mo Cangyan dismounted and walked over, bowing his head to the Queen Mother: "I am sorry for making you worry!"
The Queen Mother couldn't help crying. She wiped her tears and said, "I'm glad you're back. I'm happier than anything else that you're back safely!"
“…”
Qianxue got off the carriage carefully. Looking at the happy family, she felt like an outsider and clenched her hands awkwardly.
Mo Cangyan thought of Qianxue who was standing beside him, and said to the Queen Mother, "Mother, it was she who saved my son!"
The Queen Mother looked at Qianxue and nodded gratefully seeing that she was well-behaved and sensible.
"Thank you for saving my son!"
Qianxue lowered her head embarrassedly: "It's okay!"
As she spoke, she quietly raised her eyes and glanced at Mo Cangyan. Seeing that he was looking at her again and smiling at her, Qianxue's original depressed feeling disappeared, and was replaced by indescribable happiness. He was still thinking about her.
Feng Xiyao looked at the two people's casual eye contact, just like two ignorant and somewhat ambiguous couple.
Thinking of this, she shook her head vigorously, trying to get rid of these thoughts in her mind. How could she think like this? Mo Cangyan is such a tyrant who is indifferent to everyone, how could he be ambiguous with other women except herself.
“…”
Zhang Luoyi, who was standing by, noticed that the atmosphere among the group seemed to be wrong, and poked Mo Lingyun with his elbow.
"What's going on!"
As a bystander, Mo Lingyun also noticed that something was wrong between his brother and this woman.
He held Zhang Luoyi's hand and shook his head at her in confusion.
…
Mo Cangyan started to get busy as soon as he came back. The last time Murong led his men into the palace, he left behind a bunch of mess.
The soldiers who stayed behind in Zhao State were already arranged to other places by Qin Fang, waiting for him to come back and deal with them.
The three kingdoms had originally promised not to go to war, but Zhao's move now is clearly a violation of that promise.
Mo Cangyan wrote a letter to the Emperor of Zhao State, telling him that if he wanted him to release the person, he would have to pay money to redeem him.
The emperor of Zhao State did not dare to refuse, otherwise he would lose the support of the people in Zhao State, so he had no choice but to agree with great pain.
Mo Cangyan took the opportunity to extort a large sum of money from the Emperor of Zhao before releasing the person.
As Qianxue was the emperor's savior, no one knew how to address her and could only call her Miss Xue.
She was arranged by Mo Cangyan to live in Weiyang Palace, right next to the Purple Gold Palace.
After hearing the news, the palace maids in Fengchun Palace couldn't help but discuss it secretly.
"He is just my savior, why was he arranged to stay in Weiyang Palace? Don't you know that Weiyang Palace is... a bedroom for the empress?"
"That's right. I heard that Miss Xue might become the imperial concubine in the palace in a few days!"
"I heard that the emperor went to Weiyang Palace to talk to her last night. The palace maids who saw him said that the emperor had never smiled at any woman like that, not even... not even the one in our Fengchun Palace!"
“…”
Mo Cangyan has been busy with government affairs these days, and Feng Xiyao has been staying in Fengchun Palace, so she was worried that she would disturb him if she went there.
Now, after hearing what the palace ladies were talking about, she felt that something was slowly changing...
