Chapter 116 Pei Yirou
The day before the envoys arrived in Beijing, Ling Qingyan returned to the palace by herself.
Ling Qingyan wanted to run away, but she knew that her disappearance had caused the security at the city gate to be extremely strict.
She probably can't get out.
So she cleverly fell into the trap.
When Ling Zhuoan heard the news, he hurried to the palace gate. At the same time, Ling Yuji Yanxing also went to the palace.
In order to prevent others from noticing anything, Mu Xianzhi also hurried to the palace.
He released the person he kidnapped, then pretended to have found the lost person and hid his identity.
Ling Zhuoan hugged Ling Qingyan tightly, as if he was afraid that she would disappear from his sight again.
"I'm glad you're back."
He didn't ask anything else, just said, "Just come back."
"Brother, why are you so tired? I told you to balance work and rest. This is so bad for your health."
Ling Qingyan's voice was full of concern.
Ling Zhuoan's eyes were filled with tears.
The missing piece of his heart was filled.
"Qingyan, I will no longer restrict you. You can go wherever you want in the Kyushu Continent. As long as I can find you at any time, I can always be by your side."
Ling Zhuoan seemed to have figured out a lot of things, and looked at Ling Qingyan almost pleadingly.
"Really?" Ling Qingyan's eyes were filled with just the right amount of excitement. "That's great, brother! If you had done this earlier, we wouldn't have had so many unpleasant things happen to us!"
Ling Zhuoan looked at the girl's happy reaction and felt relieved.
In the past, he had narrowed his mind and asked for too much.
He should not expect the girl to be with him all the time. If the girl wants freedom and does not want to be confined to the deep palace, he should let her see the outside world.
As long as... as long as he could know her news at any time.
As long as he can be by the girl's side, that's enough.
As Ling Zhuoan thought about this, his heart gradually calmed down.
But Ling Zhuoan couldn't calm down because there were still a few people eyeing the beautiful girl.
Just at this moment, three carriages stopped at the palace gate.
Almost the moment Ling Zhuoan saw the three annoying people, anger suddenly rose in his brows, the palace gates were closed tightly, and the prince specifically told the guards that it was getting late and not to let these people into the palace.
So Mu Xianzhi, Ji Yanxing and Ling Yu were stopped outside the palace.
Ji Yanxing was still injured, and Mu Xianzhi's injuries were almost healed, but he also pretended to be seriously injured. Ling Yu glanced at him and said, "You two sickly people, don't come out until your injuries are fully healed."
"It would be so unlucky to die halfway."
Although the two of them didn't make any progress after searching for their niece that day, they at least searched together. Ling Zhuoan got rid of her after it had served its purpose and even closed the palace gate in advance to prevent her from entering.
He was in a bad mood, so he took his anger out on these two...rivals.
Mu Xianzhi said nothing, but had a faint smile on his face.
"Your Highness is right. I am not as healthy as Your Highness right now. However, even if Your Highness is so healthy, I have never seen you break open the palace gate."
They were still mocking him, but he was just here for formalities.
He burned down the palace, but the old man was still talking.
Mu Xianzhi silently glanced at Ji Yanxing beside him.
This person is really seriously injured.
It's just that I'm really lucky.
Still alive.
What a pity.
Ji Yanxing stared blankly at the palace gate, not knowing what he was thinking for a long time. Without paying attention to other people's ridicule, he turned around, got on his own carriage, and returned home to recuperate.
Pei Wuyou was waiting at the gate of the East Palace early in the morning.
The moment he saw Ling Qingyan, thousands of shooting stars seemed to be dancing in his eyes. Their gazes met directly, like snow melting on the mountains in spring, filled with blooming flowers.
"Sister, I miss you so much."
Pei Wuyou did not hide any of his thoughts. It was not yet completely dark, and Ling Qingyan could see the burning heat in Pei Wuyou's eyes.
Ling Zhuoan could also see it clearly.
My hands are itching again.
He grinned and gritted his teeth, suddenly feeling a little regretful.
Given how these people are eyeing Qingyan, if he is not by Qingyan's side, they will definitely come to fight for it.
People are selfish after all, they want everything.
Even though she knew that Pei Wuyou had hidden many secrets from her and had tried many times to gain her sympathy, she was still shocked to see such a clear-eyed, young and handsome brother who looked like a puppy staring at her so eagerly.
It really makes people want to touch his head.
Ling Qingyan's hands also felt a little itchy.
"I have something I want to say to my sister alone." Pei Wuyou was not discussing with the prince, but with his sister.
"Okay." Ling Qingyan agreed with a smile, then seemed to think of something and turned to look at Ling Zhuoan.
The little girl had just returned to him, so he naturally didn't want to have any unpleasantness with her.
Ling Zhuoan nodded and acquiesced.
"Then I'll go back to Yaohua Palace and come back later." Ling Qingyan said this and went back to Yaohua Palace with Pei Wuyou to talk.
When Pei Wuyou returned to Yaohua Palace, he felt a bitter feeling in his heart.
That was the happiest time of his life.
He knows every brick and tile, every flower and tree very well.
Cutting new clothes, taking exams, tending to flowers and plants, resting my eyes and basking in the sun...
"Sister, I'm sorry. I've lied to you about many things." Pei Wuyou is always the quickest to admit his mistakes.
Mu Xianzhi must have told his sister about his affairs. Pei Wuyou lowered his head.
"Just lie to me, I've lied to you a lot, so let's just call it even." Ling Qingyan said with a smile.
There were only two people left in the house.
The young boy's voice was filled with certainty: "Sister, I haven't told you a lot of things, but I will tell you everything you want to know in the future. I have the ability to protect you now, and I will rescue you and leave."
Pei Wuyou looked at Ling Qingyan nervously, his breathing slowed down, as if he was afraid that the girl would disagree.
Ling Qingyan noticed the boy's nervousness, paused for a few seconds, and then said slowly:
"How? Tell me."
“…”
The next day, the Wei delegation entered the capital.
Princess Danyang of Wei State came in person to pick up the emperor's younger brother and bring him back to the capital.
The palace banquet started again.
Pei Wuyou had an awkward identity and had only attended a few palace banquets in Ling State.
And he is the protagonist of this palace banquet.
He had waited for this day for too long.
Going back alive was almost his only belief in living for the past six years, and now he had one more belief.
The palace banquet was extremely lively, and everyone was used to seeing Ling Qingyan and Ling Zhuoan sitting next to each other.
Pei Wuyou and Princess Danyang sat together.
Princess Danyang Pei Yirou's eyebrows were delicate and aggressive, her phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. She looked at the Emperor of Ling Kingdom in front of her and said calmly, "Your Majesty, I don't know how much trouble my royal brother has caused you in Ling Kingdom. I heard that he was even tortured."
"I see that his injury hasn't fully healed yet. Can you imagine what he was like a month ago?"
"What a disaster this will cause."
Pei Yirou's eyes swept over the prince again intentionally or unintentionally.
And the woman next to him.
She had already inquired about some news about Ling State, and the most widely spread news was the interesting story between the crown prince and Princess Tangning of Ling State.
And her younger brother also mentioned it to her.
He wanted to snatch someone from the prince's side.
That's really interesting.
"There was indeed a misunderstanding that injured the Ninth Prince. I later reprimanded the Crown Prince. Princess Danyang has come from afar. How is the King of Wei? Our Daling is vast and rich in resources. If your country needs it, you can ask the princess to bring back some medicinal herbs to see if they are effective."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern for my father. He has only caught a cold, but he is in good health."
The Emperor of Ling State tried to change the subject, but the subject was changed, and Princess Danyang dropped another bombshell.
"Before I came here, I heard that the relationship between His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Princess Tangning was somewhat... unusual. As a curious person from a young age, I'd like to ask His Royal Highness, is this rumor true?"
