Nangong Yan, the Prince of Zhennan, looked at the reactions of the crowd with a slight smile on his face. He had been waiting for this moment for a long time.
He took a step forward, quickly approached Bai Linglong, and said softly but firmly in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Today, I will never let you escape again."
Bai Linglong widened her eyes, staring at him in shock and anger, and whispered angrily: "Your Highness, please don't do anything rash. The children are still here."
Nangong Yan seemed to be overwhelmed by joy. He turned around and faced everyone, straightened his back, and announced loudly:
"These children are the flesh and blood of this prince and Divine Doctor Bai. Four years ago, Divine Doctor Bai left inexplicably. This prince has been searching for her for many years. Today we are finally reunited. In the future, I will never let them suffer any injustice again."
As soon as these words came out, the crowd exploded.
The old man selling candied haws widened his eyes and almost dropped the string of candied haws on the ground, muttering: "Wow, this is really big news, I didn't expect that Dr. Bai had such a relationship!"
The old lady who was selling needlework nearby came over and said in a shrill voice, "I thought it was not easy for Divine Doctor Bai to raise several children by himself. It turns out that they are the bloodline of the Prince of Zhennan."
A strong young man was full of excitement, waving his arms and shouting: "This is just like in the play, the family is finally reunited!"
Another petite girl covered her mouth with her hands, her eyes full of envy: "Divine Doctor Bai is so lucky. The King of Zhennan is so powerful and influential, the Queen's life will definitely be better."
Bai Linglong was both embarrassed and annoyed. She gritted her teeth, grabbed Nangong Yan's sleeve and dragged him into the room next door.
As soon as she entered the room, she let go of him and said angrily, "My Lord, I had no choice but to leave you at the beginning. Why are you acting so rashly?"
Not only was Nangong Yan not angry, but a gentle smile appeared on his face. He took a step forward, gently held her hand, and looked at her affectionately with burning eyes:
"This king knows your difficulties. I have been searching for you for so many years. Now that Old Man has brought us together again, this king has made up his mind. I will love you in this life and I will protect you both."
Bai Linglong looked at his firm and ardent eyes. The hard ice that had built up in her heart for many years seemed to be gently brushed by the warm spring sun, and actually showed signs of melting.
However, she regained her senses quickly. Bai Linglong turned her head away and tried to pull back the hand that was held by Nangong Yan, but his hand was like an iron clamp, holding it tightly and not moving at all.
“You act so recklessly, have you ever thought about the consequences?
I have been in Qingyan Mountain for many years, and the people here have long been dependent on me, but you arbitrarily arranged for the imperial physician to take over without ever asking for my wishes! ”
Her voice trembled slightly, which showed both her anger at Nangong Yan's impulse and her deep worry about the future.
Nangong Yan gently held her in his arms, ignoring her slight struggle, and said softly in a soothing tone: "Linglong, I just don't want to lose you and the children again, and I want to give you the best.
The imperial physicians are all carefully selected by me. They are extremely skilled in medicine and will definitely not disappoint the people's expectations. ”
Bai Linglong froze in his arms, then pushed him away violently, her eyes reddened, and her voice unconsciously rose:
"Nangong Yan, who do you think I am?
Qingyan Mountain is no longer just a simple place for me. It is my home and the place where I realize my ambitions. ”
Nangong Yan's eyes were full of pity and helplessness. He took a step forward, trying to get closer to her again, and explained, "Linglong, I understand your ambitions and respect your choice.
I want you and your children to have a stable life. I can give you everything better. ”
Bai Linglong took a deep breath, tried to calm down, and said coldly: "What you call the best may not be what I want.
During these years in Qingyan Mountain, I not only cured diseases and saved lives, but also found my own value and peace. ”
Nangong Yan was so anxious that he paced back and forth in the room, his steps hurried and disorderly, and suddenly stopped, turned around and said earnestly: "Linglong, after returning to the capital.
I will do my best to support your aspirations to become a doctor, build the best clinic for you, allow you to continue to treat patients, and will never let you give up your ideals. ”
At this moment, the door of the private room was slammed open, and Dabao, Erbao, Sanbao and Sibao rushed in.
Their eyes sparkled with excitement, and they ran to Nangong Yan, hugged his thighs, and shouted crisply: "Daddy!
Daddy! ”
Then, Sibao raised his head and looked at Bai Linglong, his face filled with a happy smile, and said, "Mom, we finally have Daddy!"
Dabao also nodded vigorously and echoed: "Yes, mother, we will also have daddy to accompany us later!"
Bai Linglong looked at the children's faces full of expectation and happiness, and the softest part of her heart was deeply touched. Her heart softened and her eyes became slightly moist.
Nangong Yan saw the right opportunity, walked to Bai Linglong, and said softly: "Linglong, let me go back to Qingyan Mountain with you.
I want to integrate into your lives and protect everything there with you. ”
Bai Linglong looked up at him, and seeing the sincerity and determination in his eyes, she hesitated for a moment, then nodded slowly.
The news soon reached the ears of Nangong Yan's guards.
Guard A was full of excitement. He patted Guard B on the shoulder and said, "Our prince has finally found his wife, son, and princesses. After so many years, this is a happy ending."
Guard B also smiled and nodded: "Yes, Your Majesty has been thinking about this for many years. This is the fulfillment of your wish. It will be lively from now on."
On the way back to Qingyan Mountain, the children were as excited as happy little deer.
Erbao jumped up to Nangong Yan and asked, "Daddy, will you live with us?"
Nangong Yan smiled and patted his head, saying, "Of course, Daddy will be with you from now on."
Sanbao carefully took out a candy from his bag and handed it to Nangong Yan: "Daddy, this is for you."
Nangong Yan's eyes were filled with tears. He took the candy and said, "Thank you, Sanbao. This is the sweetest candy Daddy has ever eaten."
Bai Linglong looked at this scene and the corners of her mouth rose unconsciously.
The previous estrangements and misunderstandings seemed to disappear at this moment.
Back in the village of Qingyan Mountain, the villagers gathered around after learning about the relationship between Bai Linglong and Prince Zhennan.
The famous quick-talking aunt in the village said first: "Dr. Bai, congratulations on your family reunion. You will enjoy endless blessings in the future!"
An old man stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Yes, it is our honor that the King of Zhennan can come to our little place. Maybe the village in the future will also benefit from it."
Nangong Yan bowed to the villagers and said, "I hope you will take care of me in the future. I will work with Linglong to do something practical for the village."
That night, at Bai Linglong's home, the family sat together.
Nangong Yan looked at the children, his heart filled with happiness.
He said to Bai Linglong: "Linglong, thank you for giving me this opportunity."
Bai Linglong looked at the children tenderly and said, "I hope we will be fine in the future."
As the night deepens, the moonlight shines on Qingyan Mountain, adding a soft color to this quiet night.
The story of Bai Linglong and Nangong Yan has just begun. They will write their own happy chapter together in Qingyan Mountain and protect the hard-earned warmth and tranquility.
