Chapter 240 Farewell

"Yes." Yun Zheng agreed.

Xie Yan jumped onto the horse, threw the reins, and a cloud of dust rose behind him.

Yun Zheng looked at the dark spots on Xie Yan's robe, unable to tell whether it was dirt or blood. He stamped his feet anxiously, sighed, and followed closely.

Even an iron man can't stand such torture.

Gu Huai was injured, Lu Mingchao was pregnant, and the carriage moved slowly.

At noon, Xie Yan finally caught up with the driver.

Gu Huai's eyes flashed with ferocity, and he subconsciously considered the feasibility of taking this opportunity to get rid of Xie Yan.

Lu Mingchao rolled his eyes at Gu Huai and said, "It's not good to dream in broad daylight."

"Prince Gu, those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes."

"If you are not worried that the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion will collapse and be destroyed by you, then don't act rashly."

"One time, another time."

"Can we really tolerate the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion deceiving its superiors and hiding the truth from its subordinates time and time again?"

"And the court is not a place where the Duke of Zhenguo has the final say!"

"That's all I have to say."

Lu Mingchao straightened her bun, tucked the hair that fell on her forehead behind her ears, smoothed out the wrinkles on her dress from sitting for a long time, stepped on the low stool, and walked down leisurely.

But Xie Yan, dressed in black, was seen leading a horse, standing against the light.

The bright and dazzling sun cast a layer of light on the ragged Xie Yan that was difficult for ordinary people to look at directly.

Like a warrior who fights to the last man on the battlefield and refuses to surrender.

It also looks like the Buddha who is practicing both Buddhism and demons and saving evil spirits in the hell of endless suffering.

At first glance, the wolf was shocked.

Looking again, it stands tall and straight.

Lu Mingchao ran over with her skirt lifted up and asked anxiously, "Are you injured?"

The part of his face that was not covered by the smoke and dust was abnormally pale, and his lips were dry and bloodless. When he approached, the strong smell of blood blended into the wind and lingered at his nose, making Lu Mingchao feel uneasy.

Xie Yan looked at Lu Mingchao almost greedily.

After this farewell, I don’t know when we will meet again.

"No problem, just a minor injury."

Xie Yan wanted to hug Lu Mingchao, but when he glanced at his hands which were covered with stains and wounds, he smiled bitterly and put his hands down.

Lu Mingchao saw clearly the blisters on Xie Yan's palms caused by the burns, and looked suspiciously at Xie Yan's back, which he deliberately covered.

A long burn ran almost diagonally across the entire back.

Lu Mingchao felt a pain in his heart and a sour nose. He choked up and said, "You fool."

"Ayan, don't worry."

"I'm not the one who should be scared when I go to Beijing."

Lu Mingchao stood on tiptoe, leaned close to Xie Yan's ear, and whispered, "A Yan, you will get what you wish for."

"I'll be waiting for you in Shangjing."

"I once saw this sentence in a storybook."

"My crush is a great hero. Since God arranged for him to pull out my purple sword, he must be an extraordinary person."

One day he will come to pick me up wearing golden armor and riding on colorful clouds."

"So, I am also waiting for the day when Ah Yan leads thousands of troops to restore order."

"I will take care of myself, so don't blame yourself."

"Ayan, I am proud of your choice."

"Let's go forward."

Finally, Lu Mingchao opened his arms and hugged Xie Yan empty-handed.

She didn't know how much damage Xie Yan had suffered, so she didn't dare to use any force.

Silently, Xie Yan choked up and said, "Okay, I'll pick you up."

"Ming Dynasty, your thoroughness comes first in everything."

"I have sent someone to send a message to Xuxun. I will follow your instructions."

"Also, Princess Yongming and Princess Pingning will give you certain conveniences."

"Prince Duan Xiao Fei, you should give him a headache, don't be polite."

"Take care, Mingchao."

Gu Huai was in danger of being swallowed by jealousy.

The hand that was lifting the curtain was tightly curled up, with veins bulging.

Ah Chao, who was like a hedgehog in front of him, behaved like a little girl in front of Xie Yan.

Why didn’t Xie Yan be burned to death in the fire last night?

Gu Huai gritted his teeth and said, "A Chao, come here."

Xie Yan raised his eyes, looked into the distance, and their eyes met.

"Ming Chao, after not seeing you for a few days, Gu Huai's patience has improved a little."

It was not something that Gu Huai could do to sit quietly in the carriage and wait for Ming Chao to say goodbye to him.

Lu Mingchao curled his lips and said, "His toes are almost broken, and he has no power to do anything."

"Ah Yan, go back."

"Take good care of yourself, and then do what you should do."

Xie Yan pursed his lips, his eyes nostalgic, his gaze moved down a little, landing on Lu Mingchao's slightly protruding belly, his nostalgic look was mixed with a hint of sadness, "Mingchao, your consideration is the most important."

"If one day the situation becomes urgent and you can only choose one of the two, you must choose to save yourself without hesitation."

"Ayan, have you forgotten that I still have the golden finger?" Lu Mingchao said with a smile.

"Wait for you."

From behind came Gu Huai's death-like cry.

Lu Mingchao frowned and said, "Go back, Ah Yan."

Then he looked at Yun Zheng and said, "Take good care of Xie Yan."

"Ming Chao, I'll take you to the car." Xie Yan stretched out his arm and smiled.

Lu Mingchao smiled as beautifully as a flower, carried Xie Yan, stepped on a low stool and got into the carriage.

Xie Yan bowed and said, "Thank you, Prince Gu, for your generosity. I will allow my wife to take a carriage back to Beijing to visit relatives and friends."

Gu Huai: ...

Gu Huai swung down the car curtain with a snap and shouted in a deep voice, "Let's go!"

Xie Yan stood there and watched the carriage slowly drive away.

"Young Master, it's time to treat your injuries." Yun Zheng said with tears in his eyes.

Xie Yan glanced at Yun Zheng and asked, "Why are you crying?"

“It’s so touching.”

Yun Zheng: "Sir, why don't you cry for a while? I will keep it a secret."

Xie Yan pushed away Yun Zheng who was getting closer and closer. "Ming Chao once told me a poem, if love between two people lasts for a long time, why should they be together day and night?"

Yun Zheng: "That makes sense."

…

In the carriage, Gu Huai had a sour face, he was cold and dark, and he was emitting cold air all over his body. His whole body showed that he was angry and not to be messed with!

Those who don’t know would think that Lu Mingchao dug up his ancestral tomb.

Lu Mingchao was concerned about Xie Yan's injuries, and didn't want to see Gu Huai's ugly face, so he simply opened the car window and admired the scenery along the way.

With a snap, the car window closed.

"It's blinding." Gu Huai said angrily.

Lu Mingchao was upset and retorted, "Generally, it is the dog's eyes that are blinded."

“So many things!”

Gu Huai was dissatisfied with Lu Mingchao's attitude. He was furious and grabbed Lu Mingchao's wrist. "Lu Mingchao!"

"I just felt sorry for him and cared about him."

"He was just sarcastic and aggressive to me."

"Do you really think I won't hurt you?"

Lu Mingchao looked natural and said casually, "I forgot to tell Prince Gu. I have arranged for someone to send a letter to the old lady of the Duke of Zhenguo, the wife of the Marquis of Yongning, and the second lady of the Mingyoushi Mansion. The letter said that even though I was far away in the countryside to take care of the baby, I heard that the wife of the Marquis of Yongning missed me deeply. As mother and daughter, I specially obeyed His Majesty's call for the prince of the Duke of Zhenguo to return to the capital to visit relatives and friends and stay for a while."

"Prince Gu had better hope that I can arrive in the capital safely and unharmed."

"Otherwise, I don't know what kind of hardships Prince Gu will face."

“Tsk.”

"As a weak woman, I feel scared just thinking about it."

"Prince Gu, are you afraid?"

The original owner's fifteen years were not lived in vain.

Jealousy
