The Li family was not greatly affected. Li Pinyue took over the position of young master and managed Pengzhou well with her mother, Li Zengqing.
When the servant saw Li Mingke standing at the door, he screamed, dropped the flowerpot he was holding, and shattered it on the ground. He didn't care about it and ran towards the inner room while yelling.
"Young Miss is back!"
The entire Li residence fell silent for a moment, then erupted in a frenzy.
"Mingke!"
"sister!"
A large group of people rushed towards her from all directions.
She was held tightly in her mother's arms, surrounded by a crowd of people.
"My Mingke!" Li Zengqing hugged her and sobbed, and everyone around him wiped away their tears.
"Sister, are you not leaving again this time?" Li Pinyue asked anxiously.
Li Mingke smiled; she understood immediately.
"But is there anything else that hasn't been done?"
Li Mingke nodded.
Bie Chen settled He Xun in the inn. He sat at the octagonal table and looked at the letter sent from Jiang Tian. He heard the door open and footsteps approaching. He looked up and saw Li Mingke.
He didn't expect Li Mingke to come out so quickly.
He laughed and put the letter back into his pocket, "I thought you wouldn't come out again."
Li Mingke walked to the bedside, looked at He Xun who was still unconscious, and carried him on his back. "How could I? I promised you."
Bie Chen stood up, a glint in his eyes.
The three of them set off again in an inconspicuous carriage toward Jiang Tian.
Ten days later, two figures arrived at the side gate of the palace. The guards at the gate saw the token and immediately became solemn and performed a grand salute.
Xiao Fuzi tumbled into the main hall, his face beaming with excitement. He ran up to Wu Xiyu, but before he could stop, he fell to the ground with a thud. Without even caring about the pain, he immediately told his master the news he had just received.
"Your Majesty, yes, it's Lord Biechen and Immortal Li who have returned!"
Wu Xiyu stood up abruptly.
"Your Majesty and...Mingke?"
Bie Chen had already written to him, and he knew he would arrive in the next few days, but to his surprise, Li Mingke would also come.
Filled with unease from not having seen him for so long, he suddenly became worried about his appearance.
"Xiao Fuzi! Change clothes!"
"Your Majesty has arrived!"
Everyone in the palace was busy because of His Majesty's words.
"Ayu!"
Li Mingke looked at Wu Xiyu, who was standing at the door waiting for him, and quickly stepped forward. Originally, Bie Chen was walking in front and she was following behind, but she overtook Bie Chen in a few steps.
"Mingke!" He forcefully suppressed the urge to hug her.
Wasn't it said that the conditions along the way were tough? Why is she even more beautiful than before?
The two stood face to face, their eyes locked, a unique atmosphere swirling between them.
Bie Chen looked at the two of them, gritted his teeth, and forced out a few coughs from his throat.
Wu Xiyu immediately looked away.
"You've had a long and arduous journey, Mingke. Why don't you rest at the palace for a few days? I'll have the imperial kitchen prepare your favorite dishes."
Li Mingke didn't hesitate and smiled, "Okay."
Wu Xiyu quietly pulled Bie Chen aside, "Brother, why didn't you tell me in the letter that Mingke was coming back with you?"
Bie Chen rolled his eyes. "Why should I tell you? Ming Ke came back with me, so I'll naturally take care of her. I didn't come back specifically to see you."
Wu Xiyu chuckled twice, "Give me time to prepare!"
"What are you preparing? She'll only be staying for a few days; she's not going to stay in the palace forever."
Wu Xiyu's mood sombered slightly. "I know," he said. He then asked, "Brother, what about you? Will you stay in the palace?"
Bie Chen shook his head, "No, thank you." He looked to the side and saw Li Mingke being served tea and snacks by several palace maids.
"From now on, I will follow my heart and walk my own path."
Wu Xiyu followed his gaze and saw Li Mingke, who was being massaged on the shoulders and legs by the palace maids, looking quite content.
Is she on that road?
Bie Chen raised an eyebrow. "What do you think?"
