——
Ten days later, Xuan Yanyu succeeded to the throne and he brought Xu Mochen with him.
King Xuan didn't care too much. As long as Xuan Yanyu no longer broke down, he would let him take him with him.
After Xuan Yanyu succeeded to the throne, he first deployed troops to capture Qi Lan, and then captured all those who could target Xuan Zhao in the future, one by one, to ensure Xuan Zhao's future safety. He issued an order to give the position of King Xuan to Xu Mochen, who was less than ten years old.
When King Xuan saw the decree, Xuan Yanyu had already gotten up and went to Taoyuan Manor. He pushed open the familiar door of the wing room, and heard Yan Yuning's smiling voice:
"Xuan Yanyu, you let me stay for one night, is that okay?"
"Well, maybe you can lend me Night Dust."
"Xuan Yanyu, are you asleep? Come chat with me."
"Xuan Yanyu, I'm hungry..."
The girl squatted beside the bed, her eyes fell on the man lying quietly on the bed. She heard her helpless voice, "What do you want to eat?"
With a suffocating pain in his heart, Xuan Yanyu left the room, looked up at the azure sky, and trembled uncontrollably.
After adjusting his mood, he went to Qingyu Village again. Looking at the rugged mountain road, he seemed to see Yan Yuning's expression of disbelief.
'Ningning, we'll go up the mountain by ourselves.'
The girl moved her mouth speechlessly.
"Xuan Yanyu, I'm tired and don't want to leave."
'I'll carry you.'
"I'll carry you." The man murmured in a low voice.
He watched the girl smile and jump onto his back, repeatedly asking him, "Xuan Yanyu, are you tired? If you are tired, put me down."
On the day when he dragged him down the mountain, there was a pale-faced girl lying in the middle of the mountain road, and she held his hand tightly for several seconds.
"Xuan Yanyu, I'm scared."
"Don't be afraid. I'll go check ahead. You just wait there."
'Hey.' The girl stood there obediently.
Xuan Yanyu smiled and wiped the uncontrollable tears from the corners of his eyes, then turned and went to Yuanjin Manor.
At the market, he seemed to see the old woman selling tiger-head shoes blessing their children again, "May the children of the father-in-law and the daughter-in-law be free from disasters and diseases, and live in peace every year, with smooth sailing and worry-free lives."
The girl smiled and said, "Thank you, old lady."
Xuan Yanyu covered his heart and took deep breaths with difficulty.
"Jizi." The old woman picked out a pair of tiger-head shoes and walked to Xuan Yanyu with a smile, "I won't charge you any money, I'll give them to you and your child. Jizi gave me a lot of money that day, and today we have the chance to meet, so I'll give them to you."
"Thank you...thank you." The man clenched the tiger-toe shoes in his hands, feeling heartbroken and almost suffocating.
"Miss, didn't you come to the market today?" the old woman asked with a smile.
Xuan Yanyu stuffed the tiger-toe shoes into the old woman's hand, staggered and ran away.
After walking through the places they had been to again, Xuan Yanyu finally went to Chaxi Town.
That was the place where Yan Yuning first came. The rice paper said that she would find a way to come back to see him, so he waited for her here, waiting for her to come back to see him...
He would wait for her once, and if she came back, he would not bother with her for leaving secretly.
The afternoon sun shone on the man. He clenched the wrinkled rice paper in his hand, and his fingertips kept stroking "Xuan Xixi, I will find a way to see you."
Day after day, he didn't know how long he waited, until he closed his eyes, but his little girl still didn't come.
The rice paper was blown away by the wind, and the sound of the wind faintly contained the man's aggrieved complaint, "Yan Yuning, you are so cruel that you didn't even come to see me..."
After the night, the sun slowly rose and the long street became lively again. Today was another nice day.
