Chapter 233 Evacuation
Xie Jingmo didn't understand. "The Emperor is now in his prime, and it's impossible for him to appoint a crown prince for the time being. It's too early for you to make plans now."
Concubine Yi said, "What I plan is none of your business. I know you are a man of your word. Just promise me, and I will help you get Yun Zhao."
Xie Jingmo didn't respond immediately.
Concubine Yi, however, showed great sincerity and said, "Let's wait and see the results."
After saying this, Concubine Yi limped and disappeared at the end of the road.
The officials sent out to deal with the flood in Jiangnan have returned one after another.
Yun Zhao was happy when he saw the people coming back.
Sitting in an empty corridor in the middle of the night and chatting with Fu Hai.
"I don't know when Mu Chengyan will be back, but it's time for him to come back."
Fu Hai saw the faint smile on Yun Zhao's lips and smiled too, "It should be soon. I heard the emperor say that in the next two days, the court has already prepared rewards. I see that the emperor has also prepared something to send you off."
Yun Zhao smiled, feeling relaxed.
She hadn't been so happy in this palace for a long time.
She took out two sachets from her pocket and said, "I don't have anything valuable to give you. You have to be on duty at night, and there are many mosquitoes at night. This is what I have been researching for many days.
Wear it on your body to protect you from mosquitoes, rats and ants. It also contains ten life-saving pills. Take one pill when you need help to eliminate all poisons. Take it when you don't need help to prolong your life."
"This one is for you, and this one is for Eunuch Shou."
Eunuch Shou is Fu Hai's younger brother.
Fu Hai looked at the sachet in his hand and wondered how he could have deserved such consideration from an eunuch like him.
"Fu Hai, do you know? The fresh lotus seeds in Liziguai are the most delicious. When you retire, come to Liziguai and I'll treat you."
"I have a big yard in Liziguai. I'll brew some delicious osmanthus wine someday. I'd like you to come and have some. My craftsmanship is unmatched in Liziguai. No one can compare to me."
Fu Hai looked at Yun Zhao with a beaming face. For some reason, he suddenly remembered the day when Xie Jingmo went crazy in the emperor's palace.
He wanted to say something, but he couldn't bear to disturb Yun Zhao's joy at the moment.
He rarely saw Yun Zhao so happy.
In this deep palace, it is so difficult to be happy about one thing.
Xie Jingmo stood in the pavilion in the distance, taking in everything in the corridor.
He saw it.
He saw Yun Zhao smiling.
I also saw Yun Zhao looking into the future.
In that future, there is no him.
He is very jealous.
Also very angry.
In his heart, he didn't want her to be sad. He was complicated and entangled, but he still didn't want to let go.
In the end, he felt that Yun Zhao was his.
The days go by.
Yun Zhao went from being happy at first to gradually becoming worried.
She even asked Imperial Noble Consort Chen to ask, "Why hasn't Mu Chengyan returned yet?"
The emperor's hand holding the chopsticks paused.
His expression was complicated.
Yun Zhao walked in in a daze, "Your Majesty, what happened to Mu Chengyan?"
The emperor remained silent.
Yun Zhao's heart sank, and he turned around and walked out without even looking back.
She passed by the pool, crossed the long bridge, and was stopped inside the high wall.
Xie Jingmo looked at Yun Zhao's pale face and said, "On the way back, Mu Chengyan encountered bandits and fell off a cliff and died."
Yun Zhao suddenly raised his eyes and uttered the three words, "Impossible!"
"The court has been searching for him for five days, but there's still no news. Even if you go, it won't help. Why bother? Yun Zhao, don't worry. Even if Mu Chengyan is gone, I'm still here. I will take care of you!"
Yun Zhao seemed to hear nothing.
Just go outside.
Xie Jingmo rushed forward to stop him, but a dagger was held against his throat.
Xie Jingmo was stunned.
He didn't expect that one day Yun Zhao would attack him.
"I know you're sad now, but Yun Zhao, Mu Chengyan is dead, you can't go out!"
The blade in Yun Zhao's hand was against Xie Jingmo's neck, "Back off! I said back off!"
Yun Zhao's tears fell, and there was no warmth in her eyes. She said, "Xie Jingmo, I don't care who set him up. If he dies, I want all of you to be buried with him!"
After Yun Zhao finished speaking, he walked away.
Xie Jingmo was stunned.
The fierceness and protectiveness on Yun Zhao's face at that moment were too strong, just like the seven years he spent at the frontier.
She protected herself for seven years without any regrets.
Now, she is going crazy for another man.
Xie Jingmo felt a deep sense of loss in his heart.
He raised his hand and touched his neck, which was sticky.
He looked at the blood on his hands and knew that Yun Zhao was really going to attack him.
On the cliff, Yun Zhao shouted with all his might.
Deputy General Gao pulled Yun Zhao's arm and said, "Yun Zhao, calm down. If you go out again, you won't find Mu Chengyan, and you will fall in first."
When Xie Jingmo rushed over, he saw Yun Zhao standing on the cliff with tears on his face, looking heartbroken.
At this moment, his heart felt like it had been tortured hundreds of times.
There was a roar of thunder in the sky and heavy rain fell.
The raindrops fell down recklessly.
Everyone went to take shelter from the rain, except Yun Zhao.
She didn't believe it, nor did she want to believe that Mu Chengyan was really dead. She was as stubborn as a machine that never gets tired.
The rain wet the hem of her skirt.
It broke Xie Jingmo's heart.
He seemed to see that year when he was buried among the dead. Everyone thought he had died in battle, except Yun Zhao, who didn't believe it.
She dug him out from the pile of dead bodies with her bare hands, hugged him and begged him not to die.
Now, he could only watch her give her true heart to someone else.
At that moment, Xie Jingmo hoped that Mu Chengyan was dead.
Because of this, Yun Zhao will not leave.
But he was actually afraid that Mu Chengyan was really dead.
Because if that happened, Yun Zhao would be trapped in this rainy night forever and unable to get out.
This realization made Xie Jingmo extremely panicked. He shouted, "Everyone go out and look for her!" Everyone walked out from their shelter and started a new round of searching.
It rained for five days and five nights.
Everyone was exhausted and couldn't go on.
Only Yun Zhao, dragging her soaked body, kept calling Mu Chengyan's name in the rain.
That moment.
Xie Jingmo suddenly understood.
I lost.
He didn't lose to Mu Chengyan.
Lost to Yun Zhao.
Lost to Yun Zhao's sincere heart.
He was once in her heart, but it was his stubbornness that made her lose her completely.
Eight days later.
Landslide.
Everyone gave up.
The capital was even preparing to announce the death of Mucheng Yan to the public.
Everyone accepted the result.
Xie Jingmo stood beside Yun Zhao and said, "Go back. He doesn't want to see you like this."
Yun Zhao seemed not to hear.
In fact, Yun Zhao seemed to have been unable to hear anything for a long time. Her voice was completely hoarse and she could only utter the three words "Mu Chengyan" in a broken and hoarse voice.
But she still persisted.
Xie Jingmo wanted to take the person back by force, and Yun Zhao didn't have the strength to fight him at the moment.
But she leaned on Xie Jingmo's shoulder and said softly, "If you take me back, I will die too."
Xie Jingmo's heart was in turmoil. All his expectations and hopes collapsed at this moment.
Yun Zhao continued to search aimlessly.
Everyone received a summons from the palace and evacuated that day.
