557: Going and Coming Back

The visit to Kuroki Country went smoothly and it was time to return. Now it became a difficult question whether Yueyue should go back with her biological parents.

Yueyue now has a close relationship with her biological parents, but she still doesn't want to leave Su Zhi.

The Lan couple were very happy to see their daughter, but they also couldn't bear to leave Su Zhi. To them, Fuyuan was still the place they wanted to spend their old age. They ran around everywhere for their daughter until they settled down in Fuyuan, which became their home.

Lan Lan couldn't bear to leave her daughter and her parents, and her spirit suddenly became depressed again, which made people feel distressed. However, in the end she still let the Lan couple stay, and even Yueyue and the others asked to stay.

"Su Zhi, I still need you to take good care of my parents and Yueyue. The situation in Blackwood Country is not particularly stable right now, and Uncle Wang is not doing well. If my parents and Yueyue go back with us, they might be in danger. It's safer for them to stay with you."

Lan Lan held Su Zhi's hand and said, thinking for a moment, "But I'm also worried that Uncle Wang and his men will send people here to harm Yueyue and my parents, and it might be dangerous to you too, so if possible, let them stay in the palace, after all, there are a lot of guards here."

Su Zhi patted Lan Lan's hand and said, "Don't worry, we will protect them well. But you guys, be careful."

Su Zhi went to get a small bottle, handed it to Lan Lan and said, "This is the medicine I made. It is very effective. You should carry it with you. I hope you will never need it."

Lan Lan took the medicine bottle and put it into her pocket.

Auntie Lan and Father Lan finally decided to go with their daughter. They couldn't let her go, especially after knowing her situation. They thought that since their daughter kept Yueyue, she must have realized the danger. They couldn't watch their daughter walk into the unknown danger. But they stayed in this safe place.

"Zhi'er, wait until Lan'er is settled, then we will go back to Fuyuan and continue to guard the gate. You can't chase us away."

Aunt Lan smiled and said that she really couldn't bear to part with Su Zhi. Over the years, her feelings for Su Zhi were no less than those for Lan Lan. If Lan Lan were not in danger, they would prefer to live with Su Zhi.

Su Zhi nodded quickly and said, "Godmother, I will wait for you to come back. Then I will cook your favorite meals for you every day. I will honor you well."

"You must let me drink enough of the wine you brewed from wild grapes. Remember to save some for me and don't drink it all up."

After talking to Shen Zian, Old Man Lan told Su Zhi that he also liked the life in Hebian Village.

Su Zhi smiled and said, "Yes. Godfather, I will definitely save it all for you, and we will drink it together later."

Aunt Lan said with a smile, "You always think about Zhier's wine. It's Zhier's wine that won't hurt you. Otherwise, you would have been drunk too much. Zhier, just leave him two bottles."

"You old woman, I can listen to you about everything except this wine. Please be considerate of me. Besides, you don't want to drink it? Leave a little more and you can drink more."

Mr. Lan said that he and his wife have always had a good relationship, and he can say whatever he wants in front of his children.

Aunt Lan smiled and said nothing. She actually liked the wine brewed by Su Zhi.

Lan Lan looked at her parents and thought that they really preferred to live with Su Zhi. It was all because of her that they had to give up that kind of life. She was really unfilial, making them worry for so many years, and now she let them face danger with her. She persuaded them to stay, but Old Man Lan and the others had made up their minds.

Finally, Shen Zian and Su Zhi bid farewell to King Heimu and his friends, feeling very reluctant to leave.

They escorted them all the way out of the city, several miles away, but finally stopped and watched them go away.

Su Zhi thought that the most painful thing in the world was separation between life and death, and this time it was a dangerous farewell. Her heart was weighed down as the group of people left. She hugged Yueyue, who was crying, tightly in her arms and comforted her.

Shen Zian comforted them and brought them back to the capital under the protection of many people.

Su Zhi thought that this time they would be apart for some time, at least there would be fewer people in her family during this Spring Festival, and she would miss them, but she guessed wrong.

Just half a month later, the people that Su Zhi had personally sent away came back again. However, when they left, they were escorted by flags flying, carriages and horses, and countless elite soldiers. But when they came back, there were only a few dozen people. Many of them were injured, but they were holding on. King Hei Mu and Lan Lan in the carriage were also injured. Old Man Lan and Aunt Lan were fine, but they had lost weight. When the group appeared in front of Su Zhi, Su Zhi immediately knew what had happened.

The people of the Black Wood Country were attacked.

Su Zhi was not surprised. The situation in Hei Mu Country was complicated. Mu Yuan's uncle had been eyeing the throne. Mu Yuan had been injured before, but he did not die, which prevented the uncle from using troops against Liang Country.

He must be a thorn in the eyes of the uncle, and he must want to get rid of him. Especially after the Black Wood King and Liangguo reached a reconciliation, the uncle would not let Mu Yuan return to the country. Killing him on the way is the best opportunity. At this time, there are the least people protecting Mu Yuan, and then the blame can be pushed to Liangguo, and attacking Liangguo will become a natural thing.

Not only Su Zhi thought of this, many people also thought of it. The emperor sent a large number of elite soldiers and generals to escort them. In the end, in order to conceal their whereabouts, when they were about to reach the Black Wood Kingdom, the emperor let the Black Wood King and his men quietly leave the team, and let others pretend to be them to continue moving forward, just to lure them out of danger. Unexpectedly, they were still discovered and ambushed!

There's a traitor!

All the plans were arranged very secretly. Unless someone informed them, King Hei Mu and the Queen would be able to return home safely.

Fortunately, King Kuroki and his wife were only injured and did not die, otherwise a war between the two countries would have really begun.

The emperor asked them to have a good rest and would discuss returning home later. As they expected, things were already turbulent in the country of Kuroki.

When Lan Lan saw Su Zhi, she took her hand and thanked her gratefully, saying, "Su Zhi, thank you. If it weren't for your medicine, Mu Yuan and I might have died. Your medicine is really effective. It is like a panacea.

"You not only saved my parents and my daughter, but you also saved me and Mu Yuan. You are truly the benefactor of our family. I don't know how to repay you! You will be my biological sister from now on!"

"I thought you had already treated me as your own sister, but it turns out you only treat me as your own sister now. It's really sad."

Su Zhi complained but with a smile on her face.

Lan Lan laughed and said, "Su Zhi, you are still teasing me at this time!"

Seeing them laughing and joking, Father Lan and Aunt Lan were also very happy. They were thankful that if they hadn't accompanied them back this time, their daughter and son-in-law would have had to say goodbye to them forever. It was also thanks to Su Zhi's medicine. Otherwise, the poison in the wounds they suffered would have been too much for them to recover no matter how powerful they were!

Yueyue said, "Mom, I'm glad you and Dad are fine, and you can spend the New Year with me. That's great! After the New Year, I'll ask the Emperor to help you beat up the bad guys! If anyone dares to hurt you, we must beat him down! The Emperor will definitely agree!"

Lan Lan said, "Yueyue, don't worry, Dad and Mom will defeat the bad guys."

After King Heimu and Shen Zian expressed their gratitude, he came over and touched Yueyue's head. He was very pleased to have such a daughter. He thought that he must quell the unrest in Heimu Kingdom, give his daughter a stable life, and let her become a happy little princess.

When the injuries of King Hei Mu and Lan Lan were completely healed, the Emperor summoned King Hei Mu to the palace.

"Mu Qing rebelled."

Mu Qing is Mu Yuan's uncle.

The emperor looked at Mu Qing and said, "Mu Qing said in your country that he found the bodies of you and your queen. After your funeral, he will ascend the throne and avenge you, right? After the Spring Festival, when the weather is a little warmer, he will attack Liang State!"

The emperor used an affirmative sentence, not an interrogative sentence.

"You are clearly still alive, how dare he say you are dead? I will send people to spread rumors in Kuroki Country that you are still alive."

"Your Majesty, we did it. There were heavy casualties at the time. The little prince's father-in-law and mother-in-law were proficient in the art of disguise, so they made up the dead man and woman to look like us. This allowed us to escape from danger smoothly. Mu Qing's rebellion was exactly what we expected. This is perfect because it can expose his evil ambitions. If we were dead, no one would be able to say anything if he ascended the throne, but we are still alive, so he would be rebelling!"

King Hei Mu said that he had already thought about it and knew that Uncle Wang must get rid of it. This was an opportunity.

The emperor looked at Mu Yuan and said, "You are good at finding opportunities. In this case, my country will definitely help you."

King Kuroki smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you will definitely help Kuroki. Even if it's not for the sake of peace between the two kingdoms, then it's for the sake of the Crown Prince."

"You are still as cunning as ever."

The emperor smiled slightly. It seemed that he would help King Hei Mu. Only with King Hei Mu as the monarch could the Kingdom of Hei Mu not threaten the border of Liang Kingdom. Besides, they were friends and appreciated each other. In addition, given the friendship between Xiao Ri and Yue Yue, they would definitely help each other.

The New Year is finally here, and the capital city is filled with joy. The festive mood has not diminished in the slightest because of what happened in the Black Wood Kingdom. It feels like one should live for the moment.

However, Shen Ziju did not feel happy at all. His parents had passed away, but his brother and sister-in-law came. Shen Ziping and Sun Shi stayed in the capital and made the house full of smoke and miasma.

I want to apologize. I promised to update the article, but I can't update it. Although I feel sorry, in order to calm everyone's anger, I still have to say that my period has come and there will be three or four more updates. Please give me two more days. I will definitely save a draft of 100,000 words before uploading it next time.
