Beside them, a sharp-eyed eunuch quickly and quietly scolded, "Turn around, all of you!"
Immediately, the palace servants and imperial guards around them either turned around or lowered their heads.
Two lines of clear tears rolled down Jiang Chengyan's eyelashes, down his cheeks and neck, disappearing at the collar...
The Ninth Prince glanced at the quiet street and said calmly, "Let's go back to the palace."
Jiang Chengyan said in a hoarse voice, "Okay..."
West Street was deserted.
On the official road heading west, a procession of over a thousand people marched in a grand and imposing manner...
Once outside the city gate, Huairou sent someone to invite Yuan Yao to her carriage.
Yuan Yao brought glutinous rice balls with her on this trip.
So, as soon as the caravan stopped, a man and a tiger jumped off the carriage and climbed onto the carriage in Huairou.
The carriages in Huairou are three-horse carriages, large and spacious, and fully equipped with everything you need.
As soon as Yuan Yao entered, a hand warmer was handed to her: "Yao'er, warm your hands."
Yuan Yao took the hand warmer, sat down next to Huai Rou, and blinked, saying, "Thank you, sister-in-law."
Huairou blushed immediately: "Yao'er, you're making fun of me again!"
Ever since her wedding with Feng Xun, Huairou has become even more gentle and charming, with a rosy complexion and radiant beauty...
Feng Xun, too, was beaming with joy and radiant with happiness...
Huairou took a sip of tea to calm his flushed face before saying, "The journey to Xiqiu is long and arduous. I'm grateful that Yao'er has accompanied me on this trip."
"What's so strange about that?" Yuan Yao laughed. "I've been looking forward to this day for you and Feng Xun for a long time!"
I'm happier than anyone else to see you and Feng Xun get married!
Huairou's face flushed once again.
She smiled sweetly and gently: "I owe all these years to Yao'er for enabling Feng Xun and me to get married smoothly."
Without you, I don't know if I could have made it this far...
Fortunately, my father and mother agreed, and Feng Xun successfully came to marry me.
Seeing the happiness in Huairou, Yuan Yao also felt happy.
She smiled and said, "Your love with Feng Xun is stronger than gold. Even without my help, you two would still be together."
Furthermore, the Emperor and Empress have always favored Feng Xun.
The reason His Majesty allowed you and Feng Xun to hold a wedding in Daqi first was so that you could end your years of longing for each other as soon as possible!
"Yao'er..." Huairou's face was even redder than the charcoal fire in the hand warmer.
Just as I was about to speak, the carriage stopped for a moment.
Feng Xun lifted the carriage curtain and stepped inside: "Huairou, Yao'er."
Yuan Yao greeted him with a smile: "Brother Feng Xun".
Feng Xun smiled gently, sat down opposite Huai Rou, and then lowered his voice to ask Huai Rou, "Are you still feeling unwell?"
"Feng Xun!" Upon hearing this, Huai Rou nearly wanted to disappear into a hole in the ground: "Yao'er is still here..."
Yuan Yao suppressed a laugh.
Feng Xun coughed lightly: "I'm sorry, I was just worried that the journey would be too tiring for you..."
It's all his fault for being too hot-blooded.
Ever since his wedding night, after he tasted the sweetness of love, he's been clinging to Huairou for the past few nights...
Feng Xun was secretly annoyed.
Fortunately, the carriage was spacious and comfortable enough.
Let Huairou take good care of herself for the next month.
During the day, Huairou blushes whenever she sees Feng Xun.
She poured a cup of tea and handed it to Feng Xun: "Drink this quickly, and after you finish this cup of tea, go back to your own place immediately."
Feng Xun took the teacup: "Huairou, are you trying to urge your husband to leave?"
Husband?
Huairou had lost count of how many times Feng Xun had referred to himself as her husband in front of her since their marriage…
Nevertheless, every time she heard it, she still blushed and her heart raced.
Huairou's face turned as red as an apple: "The tea is getting cold..."
Feng Xun smiled with exceptional gentleness.
Yuan Yao sat to the side and touched her belly.
I'll slam her to death!
She's stuffed to death!
The dog died from overeating, and neither couple is innocent!
Yuan Yao smiled and exclaimed, "So, being in love is actually this sweet!"
It's incredibly sweet!
Huairou turned her head and gently scolded, "Yao'er!"
"Hahaha..." Yuan Yao laughed, her eyes crinkling.
Before her laughter had even stopped, the carriage curtain was lifted again.
Xie Zhi and Lin Xuan stood together outside the carriage.
Xie Zhi glanced inside and said with a smile, "Everyone's here?"
"The young master and the young marquis have arrived?" Huairou greeted them with a smile, "Come in and sit down, both of you."
So Xie Zhi and Lin Xuan also got into the carriage.
Once everyone was seated, the carriage continued its journey.
Huairou poured tea for the two of them herself before saying gently, "You've really worked hard for me getting married this time."
"My gratitude is beyond words..."
Xie Zhi looked at Huairou with bright, dark eyes: "We grew up together, we are siblings, it is only right that I send you off to your wedding."
Upon hearing this, Huairou's eyes reddened slightly, and she smiled gently: "Yes, we are siblings!"
Lin Xuan raised his teacup and said, "I've always been tongue-tied and terrible at speaking, so I'll offer you and Feng Xun tea instead of wine."
I hope you will grow old together in love and have many children and grandchildren.
Huairou was moved and said, "Thank you, Ah Xuan..."
Lin Xuan smiled at her.
Feng Xun poured more tea for them and said with a smile, "From now on, we will all be family, brothers and sisters."
Although Huairou and I are far away in Daqi, we will certainly be there for Daqi if anything happens to us.
Xie Zhi laughed and said, "You two should just be your Crown Prince and Crown Princess of Xiqiu in peace!"
"We'll handle things for the Great Qi!"
Lin Xuan also said, "In the imperial court, there are His Highness and the Crown Prince; in the military camp, there are me and Xie Zhi."
The little boys of yesteryear have all grown into strong and capable young men.
When they are together, they are a blazing fire; when they are apart, they are like a sky full of stars, each shining brightly...
Everyone is in their own place, doing their best in their own role...
Yuan Yao was extremely gratified to see this scene.
Now, her only worry is Yun Chan's uncertain future.
Clouds murmur...
Yuan Yao let out a sigh of relief.
Beside her, Xie Zhi looked at her with concern: "Xiao Yao'er, what's wrong?"
Yuan Yao shook her head at him: "I'm fine..."
Xie Zhi paused, a hint of hurt flashing across his face.
His little Yao'er, after all, had a secret.
He really wanted to ask her: Are you thinking about Yun Chan?
However, being as open-minded and easygoing as he is, he would never ask such a question that would damage his demeanor!
It doesn't matter.
Xie Zhi thought: Yun Chan is gone, he has plenty of opportunities...
He had a long time to entangle with her.
If the soft approach doesn't work, then we'll have to use the hard approach.
Sooner or later, she would fall in love with him...
Xie Zhi drank another cup of tea, then used the excuse of changing his medicine to ask Lin Xuan to go back and apply it to him.
Yuan Yao lingered for a moment before returning to her own carriage, giving Feng Xun and Huai Rou the time and space they needed...
The carriage traveled slowly, taking ten days to reach a thousand miles from the capital...
That evening, the team set up camp on a gentle slope.
The sky was overcast.
Amidst the dense, dark clouds, a thin, ominous layer of crimson veil...
Huairou got off the carriage and grabbed Yuan Yao's wrist: "Yao'er, look, is there anything in my eyes?"
Yuan Yao shook her head: "No!"
Huairou frowned: "Yao'er, I don't know what's wrong, but my eyelids keep twitching all day..."
Also, I feel inexplicably panicked…
Yuan Yao was slightly stunned.
She looked at Huairou: "My right eye is also twitching badly, and I'm feeling a little panicked..."
Could it be due to the weather?
weather?
Huairou looked up to the west: "Is it going to rain?"
As soon as she finished speaking, a mountain wind swept through the camp, carrying withered branches and fallen leaves, and a hint of earthy smell.
The storm is brewing, and the wind is howling...
At this moment, Feng Xun and Xie Zhi walked over from the side.
Xie Zhi said, "Huairou, Xiaoyao'er, why don't you sleep in the carriage tonight?"
There's a chance of a heavy rain tonight.
Yuan Yao and Huai Rou exchanged a glance: "Okay."
After having dinner, as night fell, Yuan Yao returned to his carriage.
After washing up, she called out to Aruo, "Tonight, you'll stay with me in the car."
Aruo replied, "Yes."
With Aruo by her side, Yuan Yao slept relatively soundly.
Until midnight...
In the middle of the night, Yuan Yao was awakened by a scream.
She opened her eyes, drenched in cold sweat: "Aruo! Aruo..."
Aruo quickly lifted the curtain: "Princess, I'm here!"
Yuan Yao rubbed her temples in pain and asked in a hoarse voice, "Aruo, what happened outside?"
Aruo lit the lamp before helping Yuan Yao up: "Princess, Princess Huairou has a chest pain and just fainted from the pain."
The gasp came from the startled maidservants below.
"What?" Yuan Yao exclaimed in surprise.
How could Huairou have fainted?
She scrambled to her feet, feeling dizzy and lightheaded: "Quick, take me to see!"
Aruo quickly draped a cloak over her shoulders.
Before anyone could disembark from the carriage, a dark figure landed in front of it.
Po Yue said coldly, "Something has happened in the palace..."
