Outside Deyang Gate, Wu Lisheng got the news that Feng Zhaolian was leaving the palace today, and he came to pick her up in a carriage. Feng Zhaolian was troubled when he saw Wu Lisheng, and sometimes he even thought about selling this woman, but unfortunately he never could do it.
Because Feng Zhaolian had lived in the palace for some time, Wu Lisheng hadn't seen him for a long time and missed him very much, so he rushed over like a gust of wind. Feng Zhaolian dodged backwards for a moment, but was pushed forward by Xuan Tianming again, and the two of them collided with each other, and Wu Lisheng shrank under Feng Zhaolian's arms, looking as if he was being hugged by Feng Zhaolian.
The seventh prince Xuan Tianhua said with a smile: "The Lotus Prince has his own beautiful lady to accompany him. How can my Prince Chun's Mansion afford the presence of the Lotus Prince?" After that, he said to Wu Lisheng: "Princess, please help the Lotus Prince to the carriage quickly. It's cold outside. He is wearing too little and it will be bad if he catches a cold."
Feng Zhaolian wanted to tell Xuan Tianhua that he really didn't feel cold at all. The cold in Dashun Capital was as warm as spring for Qian Zhou, and he could wear less. But Wu Lisheng clung to him tightly, dragging him to the carriage of the Lotus Mansion. The driver was also in the same group as Wu Lisheng, and hurriedly dragged him up and stuffed him into the carriage. When the carriage was about to leave, Wu Lisheng bowed to Xuan Tianming and expressed his gratitude without words.
It was not until Feng Zhaolian's carriage had gone far that Feng Yuheng cast a questioning look at Xuan Tianming. Xuan Tianming told her, "He should go back to where he came from. I secretly sent someone to inform the Lian Mansion that he would be leaving the palace today. This can be considered a good thing."
Feng Yuheng gave Xuan Tianming a thumbs up to show his approval.
People left the palace and got on their own carriages. Xiangrong followed the Seventh Prince and got on the carriage of Prince Chun's mansion. Along the way, Xuan Tianhua looked at her pale face, lowered her head, and said nothing. Finally, he sighed and said, "Don't think too much. People's fate is not decided by others. You see, even if your father granted you a marriage, you were able to avoid it smoothly, and all this is because you did good deeds and accumulated virtues in the past. So, it was not others who saved you today, but yourself."
Xiangrong then looked up at him. For a moment, she wanted to ask Xuan Tianhua if he really wanted to marry her. But when the words came to her lips, she felt that she was asking for too much, even asking for too much. In the past, when she and Xuan Tianhua had no interactions, she only hoped to see him from a distance occasionally, and she was satisfied. Now, she lives in Prince Chun's mansion, and she just wants to talk to him a few words every day, and then she wants to have more opportunities to spend time together. Now, she wants to ask him if he wants to marry her. Isn't this asking for too much? The current situation is much better than before, why is she so anxious?
The little girl's face turned red again, she lowered her head and said nothing more.
Xuan Tianhua actually understood what Xiangrong was thinking, but he was just like her. He knew that the person in front of him was very good, but he could not get rid of the shadow of another person in his heart. He accepted Xiangrong in vain, fearing that one day he would let her down.
It was snowing outside, and the imperial carriage was moving very slowly on the road. Finally, it passed a section of road with many people and cars, and the road ahead was much smoother. The coachman was about to whip the horse, but unexpectedly, the imperial carriage was suddenly stopped by someone.
The car suddenly stopped. The people inside didn't know what was going on. Before they could ask any questions, they heard someone outside shout, "Seventh brother, I'm sorry. I stopped your car just to ask a few questions to the people around you."
Xiangrong was startled. It was Xuan Tianyi's voice.
"Feng Xiangrong." Xuan Tianyi said loudly: "I just want to ask you one question, are you going back to Ji'an County?"
The voice floated over with the wind and poured into my ears. Xiangrong said, "Go back, my mother is still there. Ji'an County is my home, not the capital."
"Okay." Xuan Tianyi said again: "Then I will accompany you. When you leave, ask me to go with you. We will go together."
Xiang Rong frowned and replied firmly: "If you insist on doing this, I can't stop you, but I will jump off the cliff on the way to Ji'an County, and you can collect my body on the way!"
As soon as these words came out, Xuan Tianhua first frowned and stared at the girl with a hint of reproach in his eyes.
There was no response from outside for a long while. Just when Xiangrong thought that the man had left and was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he heard Xuan Tianyi's voice rise again, and he asked Xuan Tianhua: "Seventh brother, can you give her happiness?" There was a strong sense of loneliness and despair in his voice.
Xuan Tianhua looked at Xiangrong and said seriously, "Happiness is something you have to fight for yourself. You can't expect others to give it to you. If you are a smart girl, you should learn how to fight for your own happiness." After that, he didn't want to deal with Xuan Tianyi any more, so he urged the driver, "Let's go! Go back home."
The driver bowed to Xuan Tianyi apologetically, then hailed a taxi and went around the corner. The imperial carriage had gone a long way, and she didn't hear Xuan Tianyi's voice again. Thinking about it, the man should have gone back, right? So she secretly lifted the curtain of the carriage, and saw that figure still riding on the horse in the wind and snow, looking towards her. Even though they were so far apart, she could still feel the deep sense of separation and despair in his eyes.
She lowered the curtain, sat up straight, and stopped looking. Xuan Tianhua said, "I'm afraid it will be hard to see you again after this separation."
"Then don't meet!" Xiang Rong asked him, "Seventh Prince, if there is someone in your heart, but you know that she doesn't like you, then, will you still bother her?"
Xuan Tianhua blinked and shook his head, "No."
"So," she smiled bitterly, "He is your brother, older than you, so he must understand this."
Indeed, Xuan Tianyi understood this truth, and he had even said that he would cut off all ties with her when he was in the Jade Palace. But after leaving the palace, looking at the snow, he couldn't help but catch up with Xuan Tianhua's imperial carriage, just to make a final fight. He even thought that no matter whether Xiangrong had him in her heart or someone else, as long as the girl was willing to return to Ji'an County, he would definitely go back with her and stay by her side all day long. He didn't believe that he would not see the moon after the clouds cleared.
However, he didn't think so now. He saw Xiangrong's determination and firmness, and he also knew that he had already lost in this competition. He was the fourth prince of Dashun, and a man of integrity. A real man should be able to take it and let it go. What he didn't let go of in the palace, he should let go after all this pursuit.
Xuan Tianyi looked up at the snowflakes falling from the sky. Many of them blew directly into his eyes, feeling as cold as his heart. The attendant beside him said to him, "Master, let's go back! The snow is getting heavier."
Xuan Tianyi nodded, said nothing more, and rode towards the direction of Prince Ping's Mansion. But after walking for a while, he remembered something and said to the attendant, "Just now in the palace, I said that I no longer wanted the identity of the prince and did not want to live in Prince Ping's Mansion anymore, and my father seemed to agree. Although he is a little confused now, those ministers may still remember this matter. Let's go back and pack up our things and move out early! In order to avoid being kicked out, it would be quite embarrassing."
The attendant said, "But my lord, if we don't live in Prince Ping's mansion, where else can we go? In my opinion, the emperor was also angry at the time. You can go back and apologize to him, but how can you really not give your son a place to live?"
"I don't want to live here anymore." Xuan Tianyi said, "Not only the Prince Ping's Mansion, but I don't want to stay in the capital anymore. Just listen to me, go back and pack up, send all the servants away, and we'll set off on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year as planned, to... to Ji'an County."
The roads were slippery on a snowy day, and vehicles were moving very slowly. Feng Yuheng and Xuan Tianming were sitting in the palace carriage, with Zirui beside them. The Queen had decided to let Feng Yuheng take the child out of the palace. In the words of the Queen, the Emperor and Concubine Yuan could not take care of anything else at the moment. The Eighth Prince did not look good, so you should take the opportunity to take Zirui out. If the Emperor asks about it later, I will take responsibility. Although I have lost my former power in the palace, I am the one who decided to send a child away. Even if the Emperor has some thoughts in his mind, he will not do anything to me. What's more, this Queen is just a bait. I might as well make good use of this bait and help you again.
Feng Yuheng held Zirui in her arms, sighing in her heart. She had originally wanted to sneak Zirui out tomorrow night and put a hood on Lao Ba. But now that she could take Zirui out openly, she certainly wouldn't let him stay in the palace for another night, after all, it was too risky. As for Lao Ba, she suddenly felt that the injection had a good effect, and some people should suffer some punishment, and this punishment, let the Gu that has always accompanied Emperor Tianwu break out together!
"I will go to the palace tomorrow to check Concubine Yuan's pulse." She told Xuan Tianming calmly, "Don't worry, I won't let the poison invade me. I want to explore the Cunshan Palace again. I always feel that the problem is still there, but I just didn't find the root cause last time." After she finished speaking, she hugged Zirui tighter beside her, and without waiting for Xuan Tianming to answer, she immediately said: "Xuan Tianming, if all this is done, if I say I am tired, then, will you take the throne that is within your reach?"
Xuan Tianming didn't even think about it, he just shook his head and told her: "No! I have never been an ambitious person, but I have always shouldered the responsibility and the people in my heart. Once this responsibility is gone, the throne is nothing but dust to me." As he spoke, he reached out to hold her little hands in his hands. These hands were much more delicate than when they first met, and no longer as rough as when they lived in Xiping Village for many years. But her hands were delicate, but her heart was much older, and even the sorrow covered her eyes, which made him feel distressed. "The eldest brother governs the country, and the country is rich; the second brother governs the country, and the country is stable; the sixth brother governs the country, and the country is Confucian. You see, Dashun still has so many outstanding princes, who can't sit on the throne of the emperor? Oh, it's the seventh brother who can't do it. I'm afraid he doesn't like the palace and the capital city more than you do. Didn't we agree that when the time comes, he will take Concubine Yun across the Wu'an Sea to Renxian Island, and we will go west, and I will take you to another completely different life from Dashun."
The two held hands tightly together. Xuan Tianming's words made Zi Rui very excited, and Huang Quan and Wang Chuan felt that the future was infinitely bright. However, only Feng Yuheng and Xuan Tianming understood that they were looking forward to the future, but at least at the moment, the future was bleak and dim.
Where is the end of this road?
