Chapter 335 I'll wait for you at the city gate.
When Xie Jingmo said this, Mu Chengyan was standing at the door.
He raised his eyebrows confidently.
A half-smile.
Xie Jingmo saw this smile, which was both provocative and teasing.
Xie Jingmo clenched his hands, knowing that he had no chance of winning.
Yun Zhao said to Fu Hai calmly, "Let's go."
Fu Hai glanced at Xie Jingmo out of the corner of his eye, but he had lowered his head so much that his handsome face could not be seen clearly.
Fu Hai followed Zhen Yunzhao nervously all the way. When they were almost in front of the palace, Fu Hai couldn't help but ask, "Yunzhao, are you leaving?"
The words had just fallen.
The call to attend court was heard, and Yun Zhao walked up to the hall.
After the court session.
Mu Chengyan stood in the twilight and said to Yun Zhao, "I'll wait for you at the city gate."
Yun Zhao was about to speak when Mu Chengyan had already walked away.
Yun Zhao sighed.
When Xie Jingmo finished cooking the beggar's chicken, Yun Zhao had already arrived.
He looked up excitedly and warmly invited Yun Zhao to sit over. Yun Zhao sat down calmly and took a few bites.
When he stood up, Xie Jingmo asked anxiously, "Where are you going?"
Yun Zhao didn't answer and went back to his room.
Xie Jingmo stood at the door nervously.
That evening was long.
The door of Yun Zhao's room has never been opened.
Xie Jingmo just stood at the door, waiting from dusk to sunset.
The night deepened little by little.
It was not until the early morning that Xie Jingmo finally felt relieved.
He raised his head and saw Mu Chengyan standing at the palace gate at some point in time.
There was only coldness in his sight.
Just as Xie Jingmo was about to call him, Mu Chengyan had already turned around and left.
It rained heavily that day.
Someone saw the noble regent standing in the rain, outside the city gate, waiting for a whole night.
He left dejectedly until the first rays of light in the morning fell.
Yun Zhao went to court the next day and did not see Mu Chengyan.
Yu Xiang stepped forward, bowed, and said with a smile, "The Regent was caught in the rain all night and is ill. He is taking a leave of absence today."
After the court was dismissed.
Yu Xiang went to the Regent's Palace.
The house is beautifully decorated, and you can tell at a glance that much thought was put into it.
Yu Xiang sat in front of the hall, looking at the precious black fish in the pond outside, and said with a smile, "The Queen Mother used to be really attentive to you."
"I heard that she is very simple and never likes extravagance."
"She spent a great deal of patience building this mansion for you. I heard this black fish was a tribute from Persia, so it's extremely valuable. She gave it to you, and I think she was holding you in her arms at the time."
Yu Xiang looked at Mu Chengyan and saw a sick look between his brows.
He smiled and said, "So, Yun Zhao is more open-minded than you think. A man can give up what he cherishes for power."
"At first, she scoffed at Xie Jingmo and was extremely fond of you, but what about now? Xie Jingmo might get promoted and give her wealth in the future, so she abandoned you."
"Between you and Xie Jingmo, she chose the latter."
"Mucheng Yan, you lose."
Mu Chengyan raised his eyes solemnly, and suddenly, he opened the quilt and strode out.
Yu Xiang looked at Mu Chengyan's back and asked quickly, "Where are you going?!"
Mu Chengyan yelled, "I don't believe she won't want me! I must ask her face to face and make it clear!"
Yu Xiang said, "Why bother? Do we really have to tear off the last layer of fig leaf? Let's save some dignity for each other."
Mu Chengyan didn't answer and strode away.
He must find Yun Zhao to ask for an answer.
He wanted her to tell him in person!
Mu Chengyan walked into the palace in big steps. Fu Hai said to him, "The Queen Mother is resting. You——"
Before Fu Hai could finish his words, he was pulled away by Mu Chengyan.
Yun Zhao heard the sound and got up from the bed.
When I opened the door, I saw Fu Hai pushed to the ground and Mu Chengyan with a pale face.
Yun Zhao sighed, helped Fu Hai up, and then said to Fu Hai, "You go down first."
After saying that, Yun Zhao entered the room.
She sat down at the tea table and poured a cup of tea for Mu Chengyan.
"Why don't you come with me?"
Yun Zhao: "Mu Chengyan, if you came here today to argue with me, then I have nothing to say. If you come to talk to me calmly, then I can talk to you."
Yun Zhao looked at Mu Chengyan and said, "I cherish the fate between us, so, can we have a good chat?"
Yun Zhao looked at Mu Chengyan calmly.
Mu Chengyan's originally anxious heart calmed down at this moment.
"What are you talking about?"
Yun Zhao said, "Let's talk about the years you were away."
Mu Chengyan frowned slightly.
Yun Zhao said, “Let’s also talk about the years when Mu Chengyan was away.”
Mu Chengyan's frown deepened.
Yun Zhao smiled and said, "If you want, we can also talk about how you lived during those years when I wasn't in Liziguai."
Mu Chengyan looked at Yun Zhao mysteriously.
At this moment, Yun Zhao had just woken up from her sleep. She was not wearing any luxurious clothes, and her already delicate face was bare.
When she smiles, she looks very young.
She took a sip of water first, then slowly said, "During those years when you were away, and Xie Jingmo was also away, this palace was so big and so quiet. I had a lot of things to do every day, handling government affairs, listening to the nagging of those old ministers, and then wandering around the courtyard with Fu Hai."
"During that time, I raised fish, learned to play the guqin, and also learned embroidery from the embroidery studio."
“I learned a lot more than just acupuncture.”
“I then realized that life has many possibilities.”
"I can live without Xie Jingmo and Mu Chengyan. I can live well and for a long time in this palace."
"Mu Chengyan, I also understand that this world is big, and I can live for myself."
"Not for Muchengyan."
"It's not for Xie Jingmo either."
"I'm Yun Zhao. I only live for myself. If possible, I can also live for Cang. However, I will never give up myself for any man again. Never."
"Mu Chengyan, I won't go with you, and I won't stay for Xie Jingmo."
"If I want to leave in the future, it will be because I no longer have any self-worth here."
"If I want to stay in the future, it must be because the people still need me."
"There is one thing I need to tell you clearly. Yun Zhao would not go with you in the past, but now—"
"No."
Yun Zhao's eyes lit up when he spoke.
Seems very sincere.
She looked at Mu Chengyan and honestly admitted, "I was attracted to you, but unfortunately we are not the same kind of people, so we will never be together."
“It was so in the past, it is so now, and it will be so in the future.”
"But if you want, we can be friends."
When Mu Chengyan heard this, he said coldly: "It's impossible for me to be friends with you."
"Yun Zhao, think about it. Either we are lovers, relatives, or we are enemies."
"There is no such thing as friends in our relationship."
"You choose."
