Chapter 843 She's Back
"I seem to have seen that child somewhere before."
"He looks kind..."
Lu Chaochao murmured in a low voice.
Ci Mu fried the tea leaves with sugar until they turned brown, and then poured in the milk. The milk instantly turned light brown, and a faint fragrance filled the carriage, the scent of tea mixed with the scent of milk, blending into a sweet taste. There were a few small dumplings the size of pearls floating inside.
He held the soup spoon in his bony hands, filled a small bowl for her, and handed it to her after it cooled down.
"You have a photographic memory and have measured the earth with your feet. You have met many different kinds of people. It's normal that you look familiar to them." Ci Mu said naturally.
After hearing this, Lu Chaochao didn't think much about it and was soon attracted by the milk tea in his hand.
Eating a few bites of this in winter will make you feel comfortable all over.
Outside the carriage, the young boy looked back at the carriage several times.
It feels familiar, but I can’t tell where I’ve seen it before.
He lived in the Jingxi Palace until he was five years old. At that time, his elder brother was predicted to be born a Buddha's son, so his parents kept a close eye on him and would not tolerate any negligence.
When he was young, he seldom stepped out of the palace and met few people.
When he was five years old, his parents were reluctant to let him go, but they had no choice but to send him to Chaoyang Sect with tears in their eyes.
Although he travels every year, if he had met a sister with such an outstanding temperament, he would definitely be impressed.
He tapped his head and stopped thinking about it.
He was wondering in his heart that he would pass by the Huguo Temple on the way back, and he didn't know whether his brother was in the temple. He hadn't seen his elder brother for a long time.
To his regret, Master Qingwei had not returned from his travels yet.
The young boy couldn't stop feeling lost.
Yang'an City was not far from the capital, and it took only three days to reach the city gate.
Lu Chaochao looked at the towering city wall and tilted his head, and that familiar feeling came up again.
When he was about to enter the city, he happened to encounter the ceremonial procession of the King of Dongling.
Everyone watched from afar. King Dong Ling's face was grim and as cold as ice.
Beside him is Queen Dong Ling.
The two of them looked at each other without any communication, and they didn't even look at each other. Only occasionally, Queen Dong Ling would stare at King Dong Li's back in a daze, and then reveal a bitter smile.
If you look closely, you can find that Queen Dong Ling's face is somewhat similar to Lu Chaochao.
But it was only three points.
I used to dress up and deliberately imitate Lu Chaochao, so I could get five points.
Junior Brother Xie suddenly understood. No wonder she looked so familiar. She was somewhat similar to Queen Dong Ling. However, the two people's temperaments are so different in nature that only three points of difference remain on their faces.
The Liu family convoy stopped outside the capital, waiting for the Dongling country to enter.
"Hey, rumors can hurt people."
"It is said that the King of Dongling and the Queen have a deep love for each other. In the past, the King of Dongling fought against the entire court to marry the Queen. Even in these years, he only married her and did not have any concubines in the harem."
"This doesn't seem real."
"They didn't even get close to each other, nor did they communicate with each other..." They even avoided each other on purpose, and there was no sign of affection at all.
Lu Chaochao sat beside the carriage and said without warning: "Lotus."
Yuan Jun was startled: "Sister Zhaoyang, do you like lotus? I like it too. It grows out of mud but remains unstained, and washes in the clear water but remains undefiled."
Lu Chaochao shook his head as he looked at the figure entering the city.
It was a flower demon that had lost all its cultivation and transformed into a mortal, but was still entangled in desires and had already fallen into the cycle of reincarnation.
She retreated back into the car and took small bites of the delicious food Ci Mu handed to her.
Xuan Jichuan at the city gate turned around suddenly and searched the crowd with his eyes.
At this moment, he didn't know what he was looking for. He had clearly sacrificed himself in front of all the people, so what was he expecting?
"Your Majesty...what are you looking for?" When Bai Hehua saw him turning back, a hint of anticipation rose in her heart.
Xuan Jichuan said calmly, "Nothing." He turned around and stopped looking at her.
He didn't even dare to look at Bai Hehua's face.
Bai Hehua's eyes dimmed. In the past few years, her health had been getting worse day by day, and she was losing weight rapidly.
But Xuan Jichuan's eyes never fell on her again.
The afterlife that was once promised seems... to have become a joke.
As she stole the face, she realized she was wrong. What is stolen is always stolen.
It was a mistake from the moment she met him with this face.
Sword Master, I was wrong.
After Prince Dong Ling entered the city, the city gates were opened again. The Liu family was an official appointed by the imperial court, so they quickly entered the city.
"Father has arranged everything in the city. Sister Zhaoyang, can you stay with me for a few more days? I'm a little scared..." She hasn't been back to Beijing for a long time, and now she feels a little scared.
Yuanjun begged in a low voice, and Cimu looked at her with eyes as sharp as knives.
Yuanjun gritted her teeth and didn't dare to look Cimu in the eye.
"Ci Mu has already arranged a house in the capital. Can I stay with you for two more days and then go back home?"
Yuan Jun immediately smiled and thanked her: "Okay, okay, Sister Zhaoyang is the best. Sister Zhaoyang, I always feel that you are close to me, which is really strange."
"Although Lanzhi has been with me for many years, she is not as close to me as my sister." She knew she couldn't help but get closer to her, just like a mother.
"Maybe, you and I are destined to be together." Lu Chaochao understood that this was because of her, a gift from herself.
Young Master Xie also said goodbye to them politely and distantly: "I, Xie, also have to return to the sect to report, so I'll say goodbye now."
Liu Yuanjun hurried forward to express his gratitude.
He waved his hand casually and said, "It's just a side trip. Miss Liu, you don't have to be polite." He encountered several little demons on the way back to Beijing, but he dealt with them all.
Ever since Lu Chaochao's sacrifice, the barrier to the mortal world has been broken, and mortals are like dogs on the roadside, anyone can kick them.
When the disciples of Chaoyang Sect go down the mountain to gain experience, they will occasionally take mortals with them.
Chaoyang Sect was outside the city gate, but he would always walk a little further to return home to visit his parents.
My eldest brother has become a monk and embarked on a path of spiritual practice. Logically, he should stay away from the world and cut off his past. But he couldn't bear to leave his parents, and no one had the heart to persuade him, so they just let him do it.
But when he returned home today, his parents were not at home.
"Where's the father?"
The servant came hurriedly, with a look of anxiety on his face: "Young Master, please come to the palace quickly. I'm afraid that His Majesty is in trouble..."
A few years ago, the emperor fell seriously ill due to Lu Chaochao's sacrifice.
Since then, he has been bedridden and would fall ill every time the season changes. But as Chao Chao left, his body quickly collapsed.
Crown Prince Xie Chengxi grew up quickly and supported Beizhao together with Lu Yanshu.
But the emperor became weaker and weaker day by day.
If it weren't for the longevity talisman, he would have died six years ago.
"All the gentlemen have not left the palace today and have been guarding the palace all day. The mansion sent people to look for the eldest young master, but we don't know where he has traveled to. No news has been sent back so far." The housekeeper had a worried look on his face. Thinking of the two young masters in the mansion, he couldn't help feeling sad.
There was no time to think about it at this moment, so he had to send the young master into the palace quickly.
Lu Chaochao stood on the noisy street, looking at the palace from afar.
The girl holding the dog shook off the servants and sneaked out of the door. But as soon as he went out, the usually obedient dog suddenly rushed out like a gust of wind.
"Laifu Laifu... Oh, Baibai, Baibai, don't run..." She named the dog Laifu, and the dog didn't respond at all, and even showed a look of disgust on its face.
Cancan was angry and aggrieved, but there was nothing she could do about it.
Sometimes she feels that this dog is smarter than herself!
Maybe it was just her illusion.
