Xia Xuejian is now a princess of the grassland and is destined to marry into the Dayu royal family. She has no say in the decision.

"You don't have to worry about that. His Majesty has already allowed me to make my own choice. But we may have to leave Kyoto and hide our identities. Are you willing?"

"Yes." He Yu blurted out without thinking.

"You think about it." Xia Xuejian laughed at him.

He shook his head, and then he was very determined: "Don't think about it, as long as Sister Xuejian is willing, I am willing to accompany you to the mountains of swords and the sea of ​​fire."

"I didn't know you could say such cheesy things before."

He Yu's face turned even redder. He didn't dare to say it before because he was afraid of putting pressure on her.

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore. Go back first and wait for my news."

Xia Xuejian still has to enter the palace, and she must explain everything to His Majesty before the ceremony of conferring her the title of consort begins.

Section 218

Since His Majesty has asked her to make a choice, I think there must be a way to deal with it.

"You still want to go back to the palace?" He Yu was a little scared. What if she couldn't get out after entering the palace?

Xia Xuejian saw his worry and said, "Don't worry, I will take care of it in the palace. You just need to make proper arrangements for the He Mansion."

Seeing that she was confident, He Yu finally nodded and chose to believe her. Before leaving, he timidly reached out and pulled her hand: "Sister Xuejian, I'll wait for you at home."

Xia Xuejian smiled, and took the initiative to put her hands in from both sides of him and hugged him: "Okay."

He Yu was a little at a loss, his face flushed, his heart was flustered, and his brain was congested. After a long time, he forced himself to calm down and hugged her tightly back.

The two hugged for a while, and Xia Xuejian was about to leave.

He Yu watched her leave. After she walked for a while, he almost saw her, then took a few steps forward and looked at her.

I couldn't see him anymore, so I walked a few steps forward and followed him all the way.

They were almost at the palace gate. Xia Xuejian couldn't help it anymore. She turned around and waved at him silently, telling him to go back quickly.

He Yu probably felt that he had gone too far, so he turned around and left embarrassedly.

This time, Xia Xuejian waited until he was far away before walking towards the palace.

After turning around, she smiled. So this is what it feels like to be held at the top of someone's heart. She seemed to understand Ye Qingwan's happiness.

Although Brother He Yu is not as proactive as Liu Sheng, his feelings for her are no less than anyone else's.

So what was she doing in the past? Happiness was clearly right at her fingertips, but she had to go far away and force something that didn't belong to her.

After she returned to the palace, she dressed herself up and went to meet the emperor. She must not lose her manners in front of the emperor.

The emperor is still in the Qinzheng Hall reviewing memorials. He is busy from morning to night and has no time to rest.

If you don't become an emperor, you won't know. Only after you become an emperor will you realize that there are so many things happening in the world. There are floods here and droughts there. There are bandits here and the country over there is restless.

After today's affairs are dealt with, there will be new ones, or even more, tomorrow.

He didn't know how his father could enter the harem, favor so many concubines, and have so many children despite his busy schedule.

The eunuch came to report that Xia Xuejian wanted to see him.

He just let her in and asked her without even looking up, "What's up?"

It's not that he doesn't like her, it's just that he has too many things to do and he doesn't have time to deal with others.

Xia Xuejian didn't blame him. The emperor was very busy, and she could understand that. She was even a little glad that she had made this decision. Otherwise, she would not only have to share her husband with other women, but also see him less than twice a month. How would she cope with this?

She knelt on the ground: "I have the answer to what your majesty asked me yesterday."

Nangong Muyun heard this and stopped writing. He looked up at her and said, "Go ahead."

"I want to leave the palace." Xia Xuejian's voice was not loud, but her words were sonorous and powerful.

Nangong Muyun was not too surprised. He had known that she went to He Mansion after leaving the palace: "Have you thought it through?"

Xia Xuejian nodded firmly: "Okay, do you have any other requests?"

"I want to go with He Yu."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Xia Xuejian kowtowed to him.

"But after you leave, you have to change your name. You are no longer Xia Xuejian." Nangong Muyun reminded her.

Xia Xuejian is the princess of the grassland, and the princess of the grassland is to be the queen of Dayu. Whether it is the original setting of the plot, or considering the long-standing friendship between Dayu and the grassland.

Being able to let her go was already his biggest concession, and it could be considered as a kind of compensation to her. He almost killed her before, so this time he had paid it back.

Xia Xuejian had expected this, and said calmly: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I understand. After leaving Kyoto, I will be an ordinary woman, no longer the grassland princess Xia Xuejian, and I will never return to Beijing in this life."

"I just don't know how His Majesty is going to explain this to the people on the grassland?" It was impossible for Xia Xuejian to just leave.

"I know what's going on." Nangong Muyun had already thought about it. What Cao Yuan wanted was just Xia Xuejian's identity, so he would find someone to pretend to be Xia Xuejian.

Then he wrote a letter to tell Tuoba Xiong that the princess of their grassland had run away with someone else. The only solution now was to ask their grassland to send a fake one to pretend that Xia Xuejian was the queen.

It was their grassland princess who escaped from the marriage first. I believe Tuoba Xiong would not be stupid enough to break off relations and spread the matter.

Since he said so, Xia Xuejian said no more and finally kowtowed to him: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

After bowing, she stood up and left.

Nangong Muyun finally reminded her: "Find a place where no one knows you, but don't leave Dayu."

If she left Dayu, he couldn't guarantee whether Tuoba Xiong would send someone to capture her.

Xia Xuejian looked back at him and smiled: "Okay."

When she left the Qinzheng Hall, she looked up at the plaque of the Qinzheng Hall.

Goodbye, Brother Mu Yun. I'm leaving. I hope you are well and safe. I hope Dayu will have good weather and the country will be peaceful and the people will live in peace.

She didn't pack anything. Not a blade of grass or a tree in the palace belonged to her. She got into the carriage alone and left in a hurry.

She did not leave Kyoto immediately because she knew that a month later, she would return to the palace to see Ye Qingwan off.

But her heart had already left and she had left the palace forever.

Nangong Muyun stood on the palace city and watched the carriage leave silently.

When Ye Qingwan left the palace that day, he also stood here and watched. He didn't want her to leave. But he looked at her little head sticking out of the car window.

With a happy smile on her face and light in her eyes, he knew that the palace could not trap her and she had a wider world to explore.

Ye Qingwan left, Xia Xuejian left, and even his elder brother Nangong Fusang left.

Everyone left, and in this huge imperial city, he was the only one left. So this is what it means to be all alone.

"Royal brother." The Tenth Master was conferred the title of Prince and given the name Yan.

Nangong Muyun turned around and saw his younger brother. He was not completely alone because his mother and brother were always there.
