Zhao Yun was invited to the general's mansion. The mansion was very large. Although the late emperor was extremely wary of the Xu family, he would still do some superficial work at times.
This house was given by the late emperor, and it is very magnificent.
As he walked further inside, Zhao Yun realized that something was wrong. It seemed that this was not the front hall, but rather the backyard.
"Old General, did you take the wrong road?"
Zhao Yun's expression didn't show, but he was already a little angry in his heart.
Emperors are always suspicious, and he is no exception.
He didn't think that the Xu family dared to assassinate him, but he wondered if General Xu had also learned the same tricks as others.
The Xu family has few members and no women of marriageable age, but they can recruit people.
It’s not that no one offered women to him in the past, but Zhao Yun didn’t accept them at that time.
"Your Majesty, we are not mistaken. We are almost there."
Zhao Yun continued walking patiently, as he also wanted to see the Xu family's clumsy methods.
What kind of strategist did the Xu family find?
If it is really as he guessed, the Xu family will no longer use him in the future, nor will they give Xu Heshi any official position.
After walking about a hundred steps through the rockery, Zhao Yun was led to a pavilion.
There was a woman sitting in the pavilion at this time.
Just by looking at her from behind, Zhao Yun could confirm that this woman must be of good appearance.
He became more certain of his guess, and his face instantly became gloomy.
"What is the old general planning? Is the Xu family now resorting to unorthodox methods?"
Zhao Yun's voice was extremely cold and he said angrily, "I was wrong about your Xu family."
"Zhao Yun." Xu Lingyi spoke calmly.
This voice was like a bolt of thunder that exploded in Zhao Yun's heart.
Time seemed to stand still for a few seconds, Zhao Yun's mind went blank, and for a moment it seemed that he could not hear any sound.
After several seconds, Zhao Yun seemed to finally react. He suddenly leaped towards the pavilion.
"Yier?" Zhao Yun stared at Xu Lingyi's face in a daze, his voice extremely hoarse.
Although he had never seen Xu Lingyi's face in person, he had already seen her portrait thousands of times.
The person in front of me looks 80% like the woman in the portrait, but she is much more vivid and beautiful than the portrait.
"Am I dreaming?"
Zhao Yun stared at her intently, his palms clenched tightly, and his fingertips turned white from the force.
He was afraid that he had recognized the wrong person, and also afraid that all this was just his fantasy.
"Your Majesty, aren't you looking for me? It's me."
At this moment, Zhao Yun's brain exploded.
The familiar voice and tone, the pain in his palm, all reminded Zhao Yun that all this was real.
He finally found her.
Realizing this fact, Zhao Yun's blood froze and he could hardly suppress the excitement in his heart.
"Yier!"
He suddenly grabbed Xu Lingyi's hand with terrifying force.
"Your Majesty, please respect yourself." Xu Lingyi fiercely pulled her hand away from his palm.
Realizing her struggle, Zhao Yun quickly let her go.
"Yier, I'm just too excited."
Zhao Yun's voice was hoarse and choked with sobs: "I thought you were dead before. After I found out you were still alive, I have been looking for you. Now that I suddenly see you, I have lost my composure. Is your hand okay?"
Zhao Yun was a little nervous and lowered his head to hold her hand to check.
Xu Lingyi took a few steps back. "Your Majesty, why did you ask me for help? I thought that if I died, Your Majesty would be happy or relieved, after all, you would be rid of a burden that has lost its usefulness."
Her voice was particularly cold, which brought Zhao Yun back to his senses from his excitement.
It turned out that she faked her death to escape because she misunderstood him.
This was not her fault, it was his own fault. If he had not been so decisive when he left, she would not have missed him so much.
He would not leave Yaowang Valley and give up his original identity.
"Yier"
He stared at her blankly, and began to explain eagerly, "I know it was all my fault before. You deserve to blame and hate me. At that time, I was blinded by hatred, and my heart was filled with revenge for my mother."
"I didn't realize my feelings for you at the time."
At this point, Zhao Yun was filled with regret: "If I were given another chance, I would definitely choose to bring you to the capital. No matter what situation we are in, we will be together."
The more Zhao Yun spoke, the redder his eyes became, but Xu Lingyi shook her head.
Although she initially just wanted to have some fun, Zhao Yun's subsequent choices, including his behavior, were not what she liked.
She showed up now just to make things clear with Zhao Yun.
There shouldn't be any other people involved between them.
"It's too late to say this now,"
Zhao Yun stubbornly shook his head: "It's not too late. You are still alive, and I have also survived the throne seizure. We still have a lifetime to live. In the future, I will do my best to make up for my debt to you."
"Although I did want to use you and Medicine King Valley to heal my eyes and the poison in my body at the beginning."
After confessing these words, Zhao Yun felt better: "But I will never use you for anything in the future. In my heart, you are definitely not someone who can be discarded casually. You are the one I love and the only wife I want to marry."
When Xu Lingyi heard what Zhao Yun said, she just felt it was ridiculous. She didn't like this kind of belated love.
If she really wants to find a lover in the future, she will only look for someone who firmly chooses her.
But at the same time, she also knew that Zhao Yun's behavior was determined by his living environment.
All I can say is that they were not suitable from the very beginning.
