Chapter 205: I will leave after I see Yue'er goes in!
Mo Liyuan slowly walked to the side of the couch, sat down, and his eyes fell gently on Lan Xiyue who was lazily lying on the couch.
"Mo Liyuan~You're back."
Upon hearing this, Mo Liyuan curled up the corners of his mouth into a faint smile, and his slender fingers gently stroked Lan Xiyue's delicate cheek, extremely gentle.
"Yuer, we will return to Beijing the day after tomorrow." His voice was low and magnetic.
"Have you dealt with things here?"
Mo Liyuan hummed softly, and Lan Xiyue leaned on Mo Liyuan's shoulder like a lazy cat, and began to earn points.
Mo Liyuan had long been accustomed to her behavior. He gently played with her soft hair with his fingers, his eyes gentle, without any disturbance.
Two days passed in a flash. The first rays of sunlight in the morning filtered through the gaps in the carriage curtains. Inside the carriage, Chuxia looked out the window at the deserted streets and couldn't help but wonder, "Huh? Why aren't there any civilians?"
Chuchun was also puzzled and said, "Yes, although it's still early, there shouldn't be a single citizen on the street."
Lan Xiyue closed her eyes and rested, as if she was still wandering on the edge of dream and reality. She did not say anything about her doubts about Chuxia and Chuchun.
They deliberately chose to travel early in the morning because Mo Liyuan knew that she was afraid of the heat.
As they marched out of the city, the scene before them moved everyone.
On both sides, dense crowds of people knelt on the ground, their eyes full of admiration and reluctance.
The people shouted, "We, the common people, send off the Regent and the Princess!" The shouts were deafening.
Lan Xiyue suddenly opened her eyes. Chuchun and Chuxia looked out the window with joy. Chuxia even shouted excitedly, "Oh my God, no wonder there are no people on the street. It turns out they have all come outside the city. Miss, look! The people of Huilong County are kneeling outside the city gate to see off the prince and princess!"
Lan Xiyue looked out the window, watching the people on both sides kneeling along the road, and muttered, "This scene is a bit too big."
Chuchun smiled and said, "Miss, the people are just expressing their gratitude. You and the prince deserve it. It was you and the prince who helped them survive this disaster and have a home again."
The horses and carriages moved forward slowly, and the people on both sides were still kneeling on the ground, shouting one after another, deafening.
In the first carriage, Mo Yufeng had a gloomy face, his fingers tightly gripping the edge of the desk, his knuckles turning white from the force.
He looked through the car window, coldly sweeping over the people kneeling on both sides, his heart burning with anger.
How dare these lowly people ignore him, the Crown Prince, so much! He was the one who personally escorted the disaster relief supplies, yet they were only grateful to Mo Liyuan and Lan Xiyue. They even witnessed his ridiculous behavior the day before yesterday and laughed at him behind his back!
As the crown prince, how could he have ever suffered such humiliation? Yet, Mo Liyuan severely reprimanded him for "insulting the royal dignity" and even threatened to report the truth to his father upon his return to the capital.
Mo Yufeng grew angrier as he thought about it. He slammed his fist against the car wall, making a dull thud. He gritted his teeth and growled, "Damn it! Lan Xiyue, Mo Liyuan, you're the ones who framed me. You're great! I won't let you go."
Outside the carriage, the shouts of the people were still rising and falling, deafening. However, to Mo Yufeng's ears, those voices sounded like needles.
The group moved forward slowly, the people on both sides gradually moved away, and their shouts gradually dissipated in the wind.
Not far from Huilong County, Mo Liyuan stopped his horse, dismounted, and walked straight towards Lan Xiyue's carriage.
Lan Moliyuan lifted the curtain and stepped into the carriage. Chuchun and Chuxia saw this, bowed, got off the carriage and walked towards the carriage behind. Seeing the affection between the prince and the young lady, they were also happy.
Lan Xiyue looked at Mo Liyuan with a smile in her eyes. It was great. It was boring to travel anyway. Mo Liyuan and her were riding in a carriage, which was a good opportunity for her to earn points. Along the way, she kept saying sweet words to Mo Liyuan and tried her best to earn points.
Along the way, they traveled morning and night, and when the sun was at its hottest during the day, they would find an inn to rest at the post station or the county town they passed by.
Mo Liyuan knew that Lan Xiyue was afraid of heat, so he made careful arrangements. Every time it was noon, he would find a place to rest early so that she could rest in peace.
After traveling for twenty days, they finally arrived in the capital that night.
The night was dark, and the gates of the capital looked particularly majestic in the moonlight. Lan Xiyue leaned out of the car window and looked at the familiar city walls, feeling a sense of emotion.
"Finally back."
Tianyi took out a token from his bosom and held it high. When the guards saw the token, they immediately saluted respectfully and quickly opened the city gate.
The group entered the city, and the wheels of the car rolled over the bluestone road, making a slight sound.
Inside the car, Mo Liyuan turned his head to look at Lan Xiyue and whispered, "Yuer, I'll take you home first. Have a good rest tonight. We can do anything tomorrow."
Lan Xiyue nodded gently after hearing this, her tone carrying a hint of fatigue and laziness, "Okay, brother should be asleep by now. Anyway, I'm back now, so there's no rush. I'll go check on his legs tomorrow morning."
The carriage slowly drove towards the Wuguohou Mansion and soon stopped in front of the mansion gate.
Lan Xiyue lifted the curtain and got off the carriage. Chu Xia immediately stepped forward and knocked on the door.
It was late at night and the knock on the door was particularly clear.
After a long while, the door slowly opened a crack, and a servant poked his head out. He rubbed his sleepy eyes and said with a hint of impatience, "Who is it? Why are you knocking on the door so late at night?"
Chu Xia frowned, "The young lady is back, why don't you open the door quickly!"
When the servant heard the word "young lady", he immediately woke up and hurriedly opened the door. However, he couldn't help muttering in his heart: "Why did the young lady come back in the middle of the night?" He leaned out to take a look, and his eyes fell on the carriage. He was immediately shocked - the person sitting in the carriage was the Regent Mo Liyuan!
Lan Xiyue looked back at the carriage, waved to the people inside, and said in a cheerful tone, "Regent, go back!"
Mo Liyuan raised a faint smile at the corner of his lips, his eyes full of tenderness, "I will watch Yue'er go in before I leave."
Upon hearing this, Lan Xiyue turned and walked into the mansion. Mo Liyuan didn't look away until her figure disappeared through the door. "Go back home."
The carriage slowly drove away from the Wuguohou Mansion and disappeared into the night.
Lan Xiyue walked all the way into Xilingyuan, but she had no desire to sleep at all.
She had been traveling all this time, resting during the day and traveling at night, which had already turned her life upside down. Although it was late at night, she was full of energy and did not feel sleepy at all.
