Chapter 297 Maybe I should tell you
Deputy Gao also took a lotus seed and said, "Anything else? He didn't say anything. They haven't reached Xiongnu yet. It's a long journey, and the road must be difficult. The Xiongnu people definitely don't like him, and Jing Mo is not the kind of person who plays the victim."
Deputy General Gao threw the lotus seeds into his mouth.
The sweet taste of lotus seeds spread in his mouth. Deputy General Gao curved his eyes and smiled, softening his fierce face.
"Oh, he said it rained heavily for a few days and the wound on his body opened up. He has a slight fever, but he said he took medicine and is fine." Deputy General Gao waved his hand heartlessly and dropped another lotus seed into his mouth. "He has survived all kinds of injuries at the border before, so this little injury should be nothing serious."
Yun Zhao slowly looked up at him.
Deputy General Gao smiled and put another lotus seed into his mouth. "Hey, you know what, this lotus is delicious and sweet! No wonder they said it had to be fresh. I'll go pick some and bring it back for my wife to eat."
Deputy General Gao hurried out, and before leaving, he grabbed a few lotus seeds from the bowl.
The small bowl of lotus seeds was almost empty.
Yun Zhao looked at the few bland lotus seeds inside and felt a little depressed.
The next day.
Deputy General Gao came in from outside with a cheerful look on his face and his hands on his hips.
Yun Zhao raised his eyebrows to look at him and pursed his lips.
Deputy General Gao said, "Before I entered the palace, I wrote back to Jing Mo, asking how he was doing. He then left on a fast horse. It's true that money makes the world go round, hehe."
Upon hearing this, Yun Zhao's eyes slowly lowered.
Vice Admiral Gao then looked at Yun Zhao and said, "I forgot to ask if you have anything to tell Jing Mo."
Deputy General Gao looked at Yun Zhao eagerly.
Yun Zhao lowered his head and wrote something on a piece of white paper, "No."
Deputy General Gao nodded, "Not even thinking about it."
When Mu Chengyan walked in, he saw Deputy General Gao smiling happily. Deputy General Gao said that he had returned home recently and his wife liked lotus seeds, so he was happy all night. He also told him about writing a letter to Xie Jingmo.
After hearing this, Mu Chengyan glanced at Yun Zhao without leaving any trace.
"Really? Xie Jingmo is indeed exhausted after the long journey, but seeing that they are close to the Xiongnu, if he recuperates well in the future, it should be fine."
Yun Zhao didn't react much.
Mu Chengyan's mood improved again.
Mu Chengyan himself found this feeling of having his heart held by someone magical.
His eyes were full of affection as he looked at Yun Zhao.
Deputy General Gao walked out.
Mu Chengyan looked at Yun Zhao's fair and delicate face and suddenly said, "Zhao Zhao." Because he spoke suddenly, Mu Chengyan's voice was slightly hoarse. He stared at Yun Zhao and said affectionately, "What do you think if I say that I will never go back to Liziguai again?"
Yun Zhao paused with the pen in his hand and slowly raised his eyes.
Look at Mu Chengyan.
Yun Zhao was silent for a moment.
The atmosphere in the room gradually calmed down in the silence.
Yun Zhao said, "Whether you want to leave or stay is entirely up to you. If you feel comfortable in the capital, then staying is fine."
Yun Zhao's answer was tactful but rational.
If Mu Chengyan was smart, he should have stopped the topic he brought up here.
But today he was acting out of character and insisted on asking for the answer he wanted to hear.
"Zhao Zhao, you know what I mean."
"If I stay in the capital, it won't be because of the comfort of the capital, but for other reasons. As for the reasons, you know it well."
Yun Zhao looked at Mu Chengyan in the hall.
He stood straight, his posture showing an attacking stance.
Yun Zhao looked at him, and suddenly a gust of wind blew, and Yun Zhao's attention was attracted by the lotus flowers in the lotus pond outside.
Her gaze paused for a long time.
Then, he slowly closed his eyes and met Mu Chengyan's gaze again.
Yun Zhao opened his mouth.
Just as he was about to speak, Mu Chengyan burst out laughing. "Stop it, why are you so serious? If I didn't know, I'd think you were going to chase me away."
This time, Yun Zhao did not bring up the topic because of Mu Chengyan's words.
She put down the pen.
Fu Hai was about to come in at the door and said that a minister outside wanted to see him.
Yun Zhao did not pause to say anything.
"When you came... I was very happy. I really hope that there will be someone to accompany me in this imperial city."
"I made this very clear at the time, and you understand it too."
"Later, you wanted to leave. You said you didn't want to stay in this imperial city full of intrigue and you still wanted to go back to Liziguai. I didn't force you. At that time, there was a palace coup and the situation was urgent. Every time I think about it later, I just feel that I didn't send you back properly. I feel sorry for you."
"Now that you're back and want to stay, I respect your wishes. Whether you want to stay or leave, I still say that it's all up to your personal wishes.
I won't force you to leave, nor will I try to persuade you to stay. You are free to do whatever you want to do. I also hope you can understand that I am free to do whatever I want to do.
I didn't force you, and I hope you didn't either."
Yun Zhao is a very decent person.
So, she always gives others respect.
Fu Hai wiped the sweat from his forehead at the door and whispered again, "Queen Mother, there is an urgent matter at the door. Report it immediately!"
Yun Zhao didn't respond.
Instead, she looked at Mu Chengyan and said slowly: "Although it seems impolite to say it directly, I still have to say it bluntly-"
“No one will stand there waiting for you.”
Mu Chengyan's eyes suddenly tightened.
Yun Zhao smiled as usual and said, "I'm very sorry about this."
"But I cherish you as a friend. I still say the same thing. If you want to stay, I welcome you. If you want to leave, this time I will definitely see you off."
"Maybe I was too direct, but I'm a straightforward person. If I've hurt you in any way, I apologize. Don't think too much about it. I just think you're a good person. Now that I've figured things out, I should be frank with you and not waste your time."
Yun Zhao finished speaking and stood up. "Sorry, I have something else to do. I have to excuse myself."
After Yun Zhao finished speaking, he stood up and walked out.
When Fu Hai followed, he turned his head and glanced at Mu Chengyan.
The same cold and stern look appeared on his face again.
But this time is different from any previous time.
Mu Chengyan seemed to notice someone's attention. He turned his head and met Fu Hai's gaze directly and sharply.
Fu Hai was shocked!
He immediately lowered his head, turned around and followed Yun Zhao out.
The minister came to report that some of Yu Xiang's followers had escaped, and the spies said that the remnants were heading towards the capital, so Yun Zhao stepped up his precautions.
Finished things here.
Yun Zhao was about to go to the imperial study to handle official business. Fu Hai lowered his head, and Mu Chengyan's eyes kept flashing through his mind.
He felt endlessly uneasy.
He walked forward hurriedly.
"Your Majesty, there's something I haven't told you before. I've kept it in my heart for a long time, but now—I'm thinking, maybe I should tell you."
