Chapter 19 Back to the period before liberation

Feeling Mo Lingyun's body become stiff, Zhang Luoyi knew that he was right and struggled to break free from him.

Mo Lingyun stared at his hands blankly, then clenched them tightly.

"If you are alright, Lord, I will leave first!" Zhang Luoyi lowered his eyes and did not look at him.

"etc!"

Seeing that she was about to leave, Mo Lingyun hurriedly called her back.

Zhang Luoyi didn't know what he wanted to do, so he stopped and didn't look back.

Mo Lingyun's eyes were red, and he tried to keep his tone calm before asking her.

"Ten years ago, I fell into the water in Yu Garden. You saved me, right?"

“…”

Zhang Luoyi didn't say anything, but his thoughts drifted to the past.

At that time, her mother had not died yet. She accompanied her mother to the palace to see the Empress Dowager. She ran away when her mother and the Empress were chatting enthusiastically. She wanted to go to the Yu Garden to catch butterflies, but she heard a sound of someone falling into the water.

She was playful and ran over to check when she heard the sound. She saw a boy struggling in the water. She was a good swimmer and jumped in without thinking to save the boy.

After coming up, she saw that the person she rescued was a very handsome little boy. She looked at him happily for a long time. But when she realized that she was wet, she was afraid that her mother would scold her, so she ran away quickly.

She thought that they would never meet again, but unexpectedly they met again at a palace banquet. At first sight, she was attracted to him who was full of youthful aura.

At that time, because her father favored his concubine over his wife, she became the laughing stock of the entire Shangjing. When she was being ridiculed, Mo Lingyun came out and severely taught the person who laughed at her a lesson.

From then on, she fell in love with him at first sight. Unexpectedly, the late emperor soon issued an edict to arrange a marriage for them. When she knew that she was going to marry the man she had always dreamed of, she was happy for several days.

Unwilling to let the late emperor pass away, he waited for another two years.

She thought she would be the happiest person in Beijing, at least she was marrying the person she loved.

But on the wedding day, she thought he still remembered her, and waited happily for him to lift the veil. Unexpectedly, he went to the study to sleep under the pretext of being drunk. Afterwards, she took the initiative to please him and make him happy, but he scolded her for not knowing the rules.

She thought she had done something wrong that made him hate her so much, until one time when he was drunk he knocked her over, repeating the name Lin Ling all the time. His tone was gentle, cautious, and full of attachment that she had never heard before!

She resisted with all her might at the time, but she couldn't push him away, and she became his wife.

The next morning, he saw that it was himself and scolded her for being shameless and destroying the promise he and his beloved made to be together for the rest of their lives.

Only then did she realize that it was not that his heart was hard to warm, but that there was someone in it whom he truly loved.

He even resented himself for taking the place that should have belonged to his beloved.

Mo Lingyun waited for a long time, but she didn't answer him, so he walked over, held her shoulders, made her face him, and asked again.

"You were the one who saved me!"

This time, he used an affirmative tone.

When Zhang Luoyi raised his eyes again, tears were glistening in his eyes, but a smile appeared at the corners of his mouth.

"So what if it's me?"

"Then why didn't you tell me earlier!"

After getting the answer, Mo Lingyun widened his eyes in disbelief and exerted a little force on his hands.

"Why should I tell you this? Is it to make you think that I am a scheming woman, using my identity as a lifesaver to oppress you and let you insult me ​​again?"

Mo Lingyun looked at her distressedly and shook his head: "No, no, I just... just want to hear you say it yourself!"

Zhang Luoyi couldn't stand it any longer, so he slapped his hand away and turned away without looking at him.

"Now that the prince has heard me, can I leave now?"

A tear slowly fell from the corner of Mo Lingyun's eye, but he raised his hand and casually wiped it away. After a while, he said in a low voice: "Go!"

After saying this, Zhang Luoyi turned around and left without mercy. Before she walked down the stairs, she stopped and said another sentence.

"In fact, I told the prince a long time ago, but the prince didn't listen seriously!"

After saying that, she left without looking back.

Mo Lingyun staggered back a step, fortunately the stone table behind him supported him.

He took a deep breath and recalled that there seemed to be a moment in the past when she really wanted to tell him what happened in the past.

When the palace banquet was over and the two were on their way back, she smiled and said that he didn't know how to swim, but she was very good at it. When she was about to tell him what happened that year, she was interrupted.

And the one who interrupted them was Lin Ling!!

Thinking of this, murderous intent flashed in his eyes. Lin Ling always knew that he regarded her as his savior and always brought it up. If he did something that made her unhappy, she would say that he didn't care about her, but he still cared about the grace of saving her life.

Mo Lingyun clenched his fists, veins popping out on his forehead. After all these years of gratitude and admiration, now he realized he had recognized the wrong person!!

…

In a few days it would be Da Xia's annual Spring Festival. Mo Cangyan had punished several treacherous ministers and was in a good mood, so he ordered a major event.

Concubine Li assisted in managing the six palaces, so of course this was handed over to her. Feng Xiyao was happy to have some free time.

However, two things happened recently that made Feng Xiyao very painful.

The first thing was that the money she had worked so hard to save was missing. She searched the entire Fengchun Palace but couldn't find it. She was so anxious that she questioned everyone one by one but still couldn't find it.

The second, and most terrible, thing is that Feng Xiyao discovered that no matter how he tried to please the tyrant or stay close to him, his health points could not be increased.

"Ahhh, what should I do? What should I do?!"

"I have worked so hard for so long, but now I am back to where I was before liberation."

Ruyi didn't understand why her queen suddenly acted like crazy and wanted to comfort her, but thinking about how she had changed in the past two months, she thought it was better to let it go.

The Queen's personality now is as unpredictable as the weather. It's better to let her go crazy!

When Mo Cangyan came in, he saw Feng Xiyao lying on the ground, looking half dead. When he looked at the yard that had been dug up by her, he knew what had happened.

He walked over and kindly asked, "What happened to the Queen? Was there a thief in Fengchun Palace?"

Feng Xiyao originally wanted to play dead, but when he thought about the fact that he had questioned everyone in his room and got nothing out of them, he thought that the problem might be with the tyrant.

Thinking of this, she climbed up and threw herself into the tyrant's arms, pulling his clothes and asking him.

"Did you take all my treasures away?"

When Eunuch Hai, who was following behind, saw this scene, he withdrew his foot with an auntie smile on his face.

Mo Cangyan raised his eyebrows, his face calm: "I don't know what the Queen is talking about!"

“…”

Feng Xiyao wanted to say something, but when she thought about his status and the fact that he would never steal her treasure, she stubbornly let go of his hand and cried heartbreakingly.

"Your Majesty, the treasure you gave me was stolen. What should I do?"

Mo Cangyan had an indifferent expression, looking at her with some confusion.

"Stolen? Who dares to sneak into the Queen's bedroom and steal things?"

Feng Xiyao cried sadly.

"They didn't break into the house and steal it. They stole it from me when I was burying it under the peach tree!"

Mo Cangyan raised his eyebrows: "Oh, such a good thing, why did the Queen bury it?"

Feng Xiyao paused in wiping her tears. She had not expected the tyrant to ask this, and for a moment she did not know how to answer.

After holding it in for a long time, she finally spoke, her voice soft and sticky because she had been crying.

"Because, because these things were given to me by the Emperor and the Queen Mother, I wanted to hide them well, but I didn't expect... they were stolen!"

As he spoke, he burst into tears again, his voice even sadder than before.

Mo Cangyan originally wanted to make things difficult for her, but when he saw that her eyes and nose were red and puffy from crying, like a little rabbit, so cute, he felt a little blocked in his heart.

“…”

Just when he was thinking whether he should give her something else to comfort her wounded heart, Feng Xiyao's next words instantly dispelled Mo Cangyan's good intentions.

Feng Xiyao wiped away her tears fiercely and shouted angrily.

"You thief who stole my things, I curse you to not be able to poop for a month!"
