The scene changed, and cicadas chirped outside. The scorching sun burned the sky, the ground was like a steamer, and the heat made people breathless.
There was an ice basin in the house, and she was wearing a thin shirt. She was packing her bag.
"In the past, when Dad went on a long journey, Mom would always prepare clothes, dry food, and travel expenses..., and there was a lot of miscellaneous things added up."
"I know that they are reliable and will prepare everything for you to go out, but I still have to show some appreciation."
"I am not good at sewing, and I can't make clothes, but I made socks for you to wear inside. It doesn't matter if they are ugly. Every stitch and thread is my hard work."
Her tone was gentle.
"This bag is dried meat, bought from a shop outside."
"This is a Taoist priest I met on the road a few days ago. He said that he had a predestined relationship with me and insisted on giving me a peace amulet."
After packing, she looked at the man behind her: "How is it, do I love you enough?"
Wei Zhao looked at her steadily.
His voice was a little hoarse, but he was carrying too much on his shoulders and was destined to do it.
"I'll leave Rong Di and Tan Jiang to you."
"I've also placed people nearby, so it's safe enough here. Just in case, there's a trap in the yard, which Rong Di will activate after I go out. There's also a secret passage under the bed in our room." "
In a few days, I'm afraid that outside will be uneasy. It's best not to go out for the time being. If you need anything, just tell them and they'll deliver it."
"Wait for me at home."
She didn't ask him how long he would make her wait.
She felt uneasy, and her hands clenched tightly under her sleeves.
It's not like Wei Zhao had never gone out to do things before, but this time was obviously different.
She was very sensible. She never
asked too many questions.
Wei Zhao didn't avoid her at all.
But she was willing to be affectionate with this man and give herself up, but she didn't dare to open her heart to him.
She was actually very timid.
Especially in terms of feelings.
On the one hand, she was falling, and on the other hand, she knew that Wei Zhao would not be confined to the small world of Ze County like her.
He was an eagle, and sooner or later he would soar into the sky.
"Okay. "
Wei Zhao was about to say something, but Xiao Huaiyan's urging voice came from outside.
If they delay any longer, it will be inconvenient to travel.
Yu Tingwan picked up the bag and sent the person out the door. She wanted to say something, but it seemed that all the words were stuck in her throat.
Wei Zhao bent down in front of her and hung a string of beautiful rubies around her waist.
Then he got on the horse.
She felt uncomfortable and her eyes couldn't help but turn red. She stood on tiptoe and was about to hand over the bag.
Unexpectedly, Wei Zhao bent down, lifted her chin and kissed her.
The kiss was not heavy, but it was soothing.
"Don't cry."
He coaxed in a low voice: "I will come back safe and sound."
"I'm fine, Yaoyao is fine too, okay? "
Yu Tingwan nodded with a heavy nasal voice.
When the bag was in Wei Zhao's hand, he had to go even if he was reluctant.
The sound of horse hooves gradually faded, leaving behind dust on the ground and taking away the man who had been thinking about her since his parents passed away.
His back became smaller and smaller.
Finally, he disappeared around the corner.
"Madam."
Tan Jiang whispered beside her, "It's hot outside, shall we go back to the house? "
Yu Tingwan seemed not to hear.
Inexplicably.
Panic surged in her heart belatedly.
This strange and absurd emotion came too quickly, so quickly that it almost made it difficult for her to breathe.
She subconsciously chased forward, and the gems on her waist collided with each other, making a clear sound, but when she reached the corner, there was no one there.
————
The room was filled with hot air, and the steam was just the right temperature, but it seemed to wet the corners of her eyes. The emotions of the people in the picture were transmitted to her across a lifetime.
Yu Tingwan pressed her chest uncomfortably. She
didn't know what the past life was.
But she knew that it was the final farewell.
There was no future for the two of them.
She fell into the water and died,
but what about Wei Zhao? Did he also encounter an accident?
When Yu Tingwan was in the compartment, Wei Zhao went out for a while, and when he came back, he was holding a tray carved with red lacquer crabapple flowers.
On the tray were fruits and snacks, all cut and peeled.
Wei Zhao put it down on the stone table, glanced in the direction of the compartment, and then opened the letter sent by Ying Fuyan.
He read ten lines indifferently. He
started with a lot of nonsense, asking for money.
He already had Ying Yin, the sucker, but he didn't forget to get more from him.
Wei Zhao ignored it directly.
He looked down.
They were all business.
For example, Yang Shangshu Ling, who had returned from mourning earlier, had made drastic changes in the six ministries since he came back.
He sat in this position, mourned for three years, and came back to resume his original position. He was not replaced by anyone. First, he was capable enough. Second... he was the dog emperor's man.
Wei Zhao looked down.
Raised an eyebrow.
Yu Tingwan calmed down and took off the jewelry and earrings on her hair.
Her jet-black hair hung vertically to her waist, and she came out after she was dressed up.
She was no longer the Yaoyao who was still worried in her previous life. She didn't hide too much and walked over to pick up a piece of melon.
"Any good news?"
Wei Zhao: "Yes."
"It's time to have a feast."
Yu Tingwan was excited: "Live or dead?"
Wei Zhao: ...
"Ying Cheng is going to marry."
Yu Tingwan thought for a moment.
Oh, the fourth prince who has never been favored by the emperor.
"Who to marry?"
"The daughter of Yang Shangshu Ling. It won't be long before the imperial decree of marriage will be sent to the Yang family."
Yu Tingwan was not familiar with the Yang family.
But the Shangshu Ling's official position is not low.
You should know that the fifth prince's wife's family is the daughter of Changyi Bo, a century-old family, and the second prince's wife Yao Ru is the daughter of the Minister of Justice.
The Shangshu Ling is in charge of the six ministries.
In terms of family status, he is on par with Changyi Bo, and in terms of official position, he is even higher than the Minister of Justice.
Yu Tingwan was puzzled.
"Is the emperor intending to promote the fourth prince?"
Wei Zhao: "Not only the fourth prince."
Wei Zhao said slowly: "He has been very good to that cripple recently."
The cripple...
the second prince Ying Zhi.
The fourth prince's mother's family is humble, but with Yang Shangshuling as his father-in-law, he should not be underestimated.
The dog emperor is well versed in the ways of power and will never allow Ying Yin's power to expand excessively and threaten him. The second prince plus the fourth prince are enough to form a balance of power.
Wei Zhao would not tell Yu Tingwan about the affairs of the court one by one.
After all, it is boring.
However...
Wei Zhao: "Cao Bogong met Ying Yin privately."
Yu Tingwan sat by the pool and took off her shoes and socks, and her snow-white toes lightly touched the water.
Hearing this, she turned her head: "He wants to join the fifth prince?"
"Yeah."
"Ying Yin values capable people."
Who doesn't want to add wings to a tiger.
Wei Zhao put down the letter, took off his coat, so as not to be filled with water and inconvenient to move in the pool, and approached her.
He went straight into the water.
"But that fool asked Ying Fuyan to test Cao Qian's ability."
Yu Tingwan: ...
Wei Zhao: "Ying Fuyan has tested it."
Wei Zhao smiled: "He thinks he is very good."
"Sooner or later, he will be poached."
Yu Tingwan: ...
Ying Yin is lucky to have Ying Fuyan.
On the one hand, he wants Ying Yin's money, and on the other hand, he wants Ying Yin's people.
