Chapter 141 What you want is just what you need, never Yun Zhao
That night, Yun Zhao took a nap.
But halfway through, I was awakened by a nightmare.
She dreamed that Chang Heng and his parents were trapped, and finally...
Yun Zhao was covered in cold sweat and couldn't fall asleep.
She took a bath, sat on the roof of the palace, and looked out at the city of Chang'an.
It was pitch black in the distance and nothing could be seen.
She sat on the eaves until dawn, and then went downstairs to take care of Concubine Yi.
"Young lady, you are so worried." Concubine Yi was frightened by the dark circles under Yun Zhao's eyes. "Aren't you fine after seeing the letter?"
Concubine Yi shook her head and sighed, "You should find a man. With a man in charge, you can just focus on your beauty and don't have to worry so much."
Yun Zhao smiled lightly, "Well, I'll consider it after some time."
Concubine Yi looked at Yun Zhao curiously, "Really?"
Concubine Yi laughed, "Why, are you willing to be with Chang Heng?"
Yun Zhao shook his head and said, "After you give birth, have your confinement period, and the two little princes have safely passed their first birthday, I will return to Liziguai."
Concubine Yi's smile was a little weak. "Why are you leaving? Why can't the wealth of this palace keep you here?"
Yun Zhao whispered, "I have never had any ambitions, and I have few expectations of others. My parents are old now, and I need to take good care of them. I will find a good husband in the future, and everything will be perfect. I know what the queen wants.
But recently I always think of my childhood, when the fire on the stove was very strong and the people who were burning had red faces, I was held in my mother’s arms, and she sang nursery rhymes to me. It was raining heavily outside the window, and my mother held me and said, Zhao Zhao, don’t be afraid, my Zhao Zhao will grow up happily.
I had no choice but to go to the frontier. Now that I have returned, I hope to live safely and smoothly as my mother hoped. There are many things to do in the palace, and I cannot handle them all. I only hope that when the time comes, I can ask for the grace of Concubine Yi to let me leave."
Her original plan was to leave as soon as Concubine Yi gave birth to the child.
But now she owes Chang Heng a favor, so she has to take good care of Concubine Yi before she can leave.
Concubine Yi looked at Yun Zhao with regret, "You are not good at all. You are too petty, just because of the family affairs."
Yun Zhao smiled softly, "Yun Zhao Yun Ni, I just want a peaceful life, please grant me your blessing, Madam."
Concubine Yi nodded and said, "Okay, in the future, when everything goes well, I will grant you grace."
Yun Zhao went to the pharmacy to get medicine. On the way, two young eunuchs whispered about the flood in the north of the city.
Yun Zhao didn't listen any further and walked away.
The days go by.
Yun Zhao's heart always floats in the air.
She hoped to get some news, but no, nothing.
She could only comfort herself that no news was the best news.
She couldn't sleep every day.
One day, she met Xie Jingmo hurrying in from outside the city. When he saw her, he frowned and asked, "What the hell is wrong with you? What's wrong?"
Yun Zhao stepped back, stood still, and bowed respectfully, "General."
Xie Jingmo: "I heard that you went to the palace to see me a few days ago. I've been busy these days. What's the matter?"
After Xie Jingmo asked this question, Yun Zhao wanted to say something, but five days had already passed.
If Chang Heng and his team had succeeded, they should have already sent the person to Liziguai.
Lieutenant General Gao and Lieutenant General Lin have a good relationship with the border soldiers, and she also wrote a letter to the Lord of Lincheng. Everything should be the most appropriate arrangement.
"If everything is fine, I'll leave first," Xie Jingmo took a step without waiting for Yun Zhao to speak. The father-in-law in the distance kept giving Xie Jingmo winks.
If we delay any longer, the emperor will get anxious.
Xie Jingmo waited until Yun Zhao nodded before he took a step and walked a long way away.
Xie Jingmo turned to Yun Zhao and said loudly, "If you need anything, wait for me at the city gate!"
Yun Zhao stood in the palace in the early morning and said softly to the air, "Okay."
When Xie Jingmo came out from the emperor's place, the palace gate was about to be locked.
He asked the guarding soldier, "Is Doctor Yun here to wait for me?"
Soldier, "Yes, but he left later. Maybe he waited too long, and left when Concubine Yi called him."
Xie Jingmo: "Will you come again?"
The soldier shook his head.
Xie Jingmo turned around to go back, and the soldiers behind him hurried forward, "General, please, the lock will be released immediately. Doctor Yun is now highly regarded by Concubine Yi, so I think everything will be fine. You can ask her tomorrow, okay? The lock will be released immediately, please don't make things difficult for us."
The next morning.
Xie Jingmo went to find Yun Zhao.
"Why did you look for me yesterday?" Xie Jingmo glanced at Yun Zhao's face, which was not very good.
"It's okay," Yun Zhao was really upset yesterday and tried every possible way to help his condition.
Even if she had really begged Xie Jingmo yesterday, Xie Jingmo would not be able to get anyone to convey the message.
She is always uneasy and always wants to do something.
Xie Jingmo looked at Yun Zhao's pale face and raised his hand to touch it.
Yun Zhao took a step back slightly, and Xie Jingmo's hand hung in the air.
Xie Jingmo looked at Yun Zhao. This time he was not angry and his tone was relatively calm.
He sighed, "Yun Zhao, you can't keep being so stubborn. You'll tire yourself and the people around you."
"I've been busy these past few days, but I'm still waiting here this early in the morning, and you're giving me this look?"
"As a woman, you should understand that you will eventually have to rely on men. Whether you succeed or fail, you will need someone to rely on."
"Many people say that you are better than Lin Ruyu, but why do you always fail to understand the principles that she understands?"
"If this is your trick of playing hard to get, then having come this far is enough."
"After all, I am a prince in the capital. I don't have too much energy to toss about love affairs. I still say what I said before. If you agree, you and Ruyu will be my equal wives. I am quite satisfied with you after seven years at the border.
I know you're unhappy about me trading you for armor, but that's all in the past. I still say the same thing: if you're willing, you can marry into the Xie family with Ruyu in the future. I promise I won't favor Ruyu and will treat you both equally."
Xie Jingmo looked at Yun Zhao and said earnestly, "Yun Zhao, this is the best life you can earn for yourself."
The father-in-law in the distance was waiting for Xie Jingmo.
Xie Jingmo sighed and said, "My plan is to get married after the flood is over. You should think about it and make a decision in the next few days."
"I've shown my affection to you time and again, Yun Zhao. You can't always back down. You can't hold the position of imperial physician forever. A woman should be beautiful and stay at home to take care of her husband and children. This is her duty. These words shouldn't be spoken by me. Your mother should be the one to teach you. You haven't fulfilled your responsibilities at home, so I'm here to tell you."
Yun Zhao raised his head.
Looking at Xie Jingmo in front of him.
After a long while, she said calmly, "General, when we were at the frontier, you once said that women should not be confined to the inner chambers, but should have their own vast skies."
Because of these words, she gave her whole heart to him.
Because she always felt that a man who could understand a woman's situation should not be too bad.
Xie Jingmo frowned irritably, "I did say that, but that was at the frontier. Now you're in the capital, how come you always don't understand?"
Yun Zhao smiled softly, "I understand. How could I not understand?"
"You are a general at the frontier, so your partner needs to be a counselor, a military doctor, or a woman who can fill any position. Naturally, she doesn't need to be restricted to one side."
"Now, you are in the capital, and your status is a prince, so your other half can only be a woman in the inner house."
"So, General, Your Majesty, what you want is only what you need, and it has never been Yun Zhao."
