Chapter 334 She Won't Leave
Yu Xiang laughed darkly behind him.
"Queen Dowager, Prince Liang's ascension to the throne is an inevitable trend. You should make the best choice as soon as possible. Otherwise, you may not have any choice in the future."
Yun Zhao turned around in the darkness.
Yu Xiang stood at the bottom of the half-lit stairs, smiling at Yun Zhao with a gloomy face.
Yun Zhao showed no fear.
She met Yu Xiang's gaze and smiled, "Really? Then I'll wait and see. I've never been afraid of the war on the frontier, but I want to see if the war in this palace can burn me to death."
After Yun Zhao finished speaking, he smiled provocatively and turned back to the palace.
Yu Xiang stared at Yun Zhao's back and frowned grimly.
Yun Zhao, it was you who insisted on going against me!
Then don’t blame me for being cruel!
Fu Hai and Yun Zhao walked a long way, and when they were about to enter the door, they couldn't help but turn their heads.
Suddenly, he was met with Yu Xiang's cold smile.
He was shocked and quickly looked away, following Yun Zhao into the inner door.
Only after making sure that Yu Xiang could no longer see anything did Fu Hai begin to breathe heavily.
Yun Zhao turned around and looked at Fu Hai's pale face in confusion, "What's wrong?"
Fu Hai supported his knees with his hands, looked up, and asked Yun Zhao, "Queen Dowager, are you really not afraid?"
Yun Zhao asked, "What are you afraid of?"
Fu Hai said, "Yu Xiang is a very cold-blooded person. He has no moral principles. Did you know that when someone was disrespectful to him, he dug up the graves of all eighteen generations of their ancestors and whipped their corpses one by one? This kind of person is very petty. Everyone says that if you offend Yu Xiang, you will never have a good life in this life."
Yun Zhao didn't show any fear.
She casually said, "Really?" Then Yun Zhao changed the subject and said, "Don't tell Xie Jingmo about what Yu Xiang asked me to do."
Fu Hai couldn't help but glance at Yun Zhao.
As expected, anyone who can become a queen mother must be very brave.
The next day.
When Yun Zhao went to court, Mu Chengyan arrived.
"Zhao Zhao, today is the second day."
Yun Zhao looked at him and was about to speak when Mu Chengyan said, "No rush, it's not even the third day yet."
After saying that, Mu Chengyan left and met Yu Xiang who was waiting at the bottom of the stairs on the way.
"Are you going to see Yun Zhao again?"
"I've told you before that there's no hope for you two, but you didn't believe me. The three days thing is just an excuse you gave her. Mu Chengyan, Yun Zhao will never come back."
Mu Chengyan's eyes were cold, "I believe Yun Zhao will make the right choice."
Yu Xiang sneered, "Mu Chengyan, how about we make a bet?"
Mu Chengyan was not interested.
Yu Xiang said: "Let's bet that Yun Zhao won't agree to leave with you tomorrow."
"Let's bet that between you and Xie Jingmo now, she will only choose Xie Jingmo."
"Mu Chengyan, do you dare to bet with me?"
"As long as you win one of these two bets, you win both. How about that?"
Mu Chengyan turned his head, narrowed his eyes at Yu Xiang, and asked coldly, "What's the bet?"
Yu Xiang smiled and said, "If you win, I will no longer care about your affairs with Yun Zhao and will no longer embarrass Yun Zhao."
Yu Xiang looked at Mu Chengyan's face and said, "If you lose, you must support Prince Liang as emperor."
"how?"
"Do you dare to bet with me?"
Mu Chengyan sneered, "What are you afraid of?"
He really couldn't guarantee whether Yun Zhao would go with him. There were so many people at the border, and Yun Zhao was not the type of person who would leave on his own to enjoy himself.
He has figured this out in the past few days.
I don't mind.
He is tolerant of his daughter's small insistence.
However, Yun Zhao had chosen between him and Xie Jingmo.
When she became the empress dowager, Yun Zhao chose to keep him.
Later, when the Huns came to propose marriage, Yun Zhao chose him.
Between him and Xie Jingmo, Yun Zhao had never let him down.
So, if this were to be a bet, he would definitely be the winner.
"Okay! I'll make a bet with you," Mu Chengyan said confidently, "If I lose both of these, then I will agree with you supporting Prince Liang as emperor in the future."
Upon hearing this, Yu Xiang smiled triumphantly.
"Okay, but Lord Regent, you wouldn't tell Yun Zhao in advance that we're making a bet, would you?"
Mu Chengyan sneered, "I disdain to do such sneaky things! But you have to promise that you will never lay a hand on Yun Zhao!"
Yu Xiang nodded, "Of course."
Mu Chengyan cares a lot about this bet.
He not only hoped to defeat Xie Jingmo, but also hoped that Yun Zhao would go with him tomorrow.
So, on the second night, he went to find Yun Zhao first.
"It's been a while since I played chess with you. Wanna play another game?"
Yun Zhao knew that Mu Chengyan had something to say to her, so she nodded.
Two people play chess.
During this time, Mu Chengyan said, "Zhao Zhao, your parents have passed away for a long time, and you haven't been back to see them. If we leave tomorrow, you should go back and spend more time with them."
Yun Zhao didn't respond.
Mu Chengyan held the chess piece in his hand and said, "You can leave tomorrow. You don't need to bring anything. Li Ziguai has everything. You don't need to go to the palace. I will personally pick you up at the city gate tomorrow."
Yun Zhao's hand holding the chess piece paused.
A moment later.
She slowly placed the chess piece back into the chess basket. Just as she was about to open her mouth, Mu Chengyan spoke first, "Don't worry, I've arranged everything. You just need to follow the chariot. Of course, I've also asked people at court to take good care of Deputy General Gao and the others. You don't have to worry about anything."
After saying this, Mu Chengyan stood up.
He gazed deeply at Yun Zhao and said, "Zhao Zhao, I will always be waiting for you at the city gate."
After saying that, Mu Chengyan turned around and left.
There was only silence in the room.
Fu Hai looked at Yun Zhao's sullen face. Although he knew Yun Zhao already had the answer in her heart, he still couldn't help asking, "Queen Dowager, you won't go with him, will you?"
Yun Zhao pursed his lips.
No words.
Yun Zhao didn't sleep that night.
Xie Jingmo sat in the pavilion and did not sleep all night.
Deputy General Gao asked, "Aren't you tired of guarding like this?"
Xie Jingmo said: "She won't leave."
At least not tomorrow.
Mu Chengyan said that he would ask someone to take care of Deputy General Gao and the others, but it was just talk. Yun Zhao would not be willing to leave them alone like that.
"Since you know this, why don't you go to bed instead of sitting here? It's almost dawn."
Xie Jingmo smiled bitterly, "You don't understand, I'm afraid."
Yun Zhao——
So decisive.
Whatever you do, always leave room for others but never for yourself.
Always so cruel.
Although he felt that she would not leave.
But I'm still afraid.
He was afraid that if she really didn't care about him anymore, where would he go to wait for her, where would he go to look for her?
Xie Jingmo looked at the lotus in the pond silently, his eyes darkening little by little.
Deputy General Gao sighed and looked at the closed door for a long time.
The next day.
As soon as Yun Zhao opened the door of the room, he saw Xie Jingmo in the lotus pond.
So early in the morning, this guy was tossing and turning in the pool.
He said to Yun Zhao, "I won't be attending court today. I'll make you beggar's chicken in the palace and wait for you to come back tonight. Is that okay?"
