~ MEET LIU LIANG ~
The Emperor wanted to object, but when he thought of the words of Grand Princess Yi De and then thought of what the Empress had done for him, a trace of desolation flashed through his heart.
The Imperial Family wasn’t as bright and beautiful as seen from the outside. Many things were out of the ordinary compared to the love between Yue Wang and Mu Yunyao. The cause he didn’t agree to this was more for the sake of the two children’s future considerations.
Seeing that his expression wavered, the Grand Princess Yi De didn’t say anything more. Words cannot be wasted, or they will miss. Seeing that his face wavered, the Grand Princess Yi De didn’t say anything more. The cause she chose to come here at this time was because she had guessed that the Emperor was most worried about Yue Wang and felt the most profound guilt towards him. Thought of Queen Wei Rou, who had passed away, and under various factors, the Emperor would definitely choose to compromise.
“Imperial Elder Sister, Yunyao is a girl. Won’t there be any danger if she go to Riverside City?”
“I gave her the gold medal from the Emperor and also sent many people to follow her. Yunyao knows medical skills and has ways to protect herself. She insisted on going, and I couldn’t stop her even if I wanted to, so I just let her go.” Grand Princess Yi De’s smile was somewhat helpless. “Yao’er and Yue Wang have very similar personalities. Their previous experiences were quite bumpy, and they would not easily fall in love. Once they fall in love, they are easy to get into trouble. As elders, we can only try our best to tolerate them as much as possible.”
Thinking of Yue Wang’s personality, the Emperor felt the same way, “Imperial Elder Sister, Yunyao is still young, so there’s no rush right now. We might as well wait and see. If their relationship is unstable, they will split up even without us trying to break them up. If they are really unyielding, we can’t stop them.”
Both of them are children owed by their elders. They had a relationship before they found out about their actual relationship, so they really couldn’t find any reason to be against it.
The Grand Princess Yi De nodded and being able to say these words showed that the Emperor was already willing to compromise. The rest would be up to Yue Wang and Yunyao, “The Emperor’s consideration is that if their feelings are unstable, we will force them to break up. However, that will make their resistance arise, and they will insist on going together.”
“Yeah, we’ll see about that later.” Thinking of Yunyao’s weak and delicate appearance, the Emperor’s impression of her became even better. As a fragile girl, it is so rare to be able to stand up after knowing that her sweetheart is in trouble, no matter how much help she could provide in the end.
On the other side, Mu Yunyao rode the fast boat and stopped at Tongling City.
“Miss, the water in front of us has already been sealed off, and the ships are not allowed to pass, so we can only change to carriages.”
“How far is this place from Linjiang City?”
“It takes three days for a fast horse, but it takes about six days if you take a carriage. It depends on whether the road is clear or not. If the river water destroys the road, it will take even longer.”
Si Shu brought a water bag over and said, “Miss, let’s drink some water.”
Mu Yunyao took a few sips before passing the water bag back. “Si Shu, prepare the horses. We’ll ride horses towards Linjiang City.”
“Miss, you are not good at riding horses....” The young mistress’ body was weak. How could she withstand this all the way?
“I can give it a try. If it really doesn’t work, you and Si Qin can take turns to bring me. It’s decided then. Quickly go down and prepare. ” Mu Yunyao’s expression was calm, but she sat straight, like a taut string.
“Yes, Miss.”
The horses were quickly prepared, and Si Qin and the other three protected Mu Yunyao in the middle. After finding out that she was fine riding alone, they gradually relaxed.
The closer they got to Linjiang City, the more refugees they encountered. Every one of them had a messy figure, looking exhausted and desperate. When they saw a passerby with slightly better clothes, they would come forward and beg for mercy.
Mu Yunyao and her party had an unusual path to use, so they quickly headed toward Linjiang City. Although they didn’t encounter too many troubles, the heartbreaking scenes that played out in front of them caused them to feel a sense of desolation from the bottom of their hearts.
The sky was totally dark, so Mu Yunyao and the others temporarily settled down in the inn.
Si Qin and Si Qi stepped forward to help Mu Yunyao off the horse. They felt her steps stagger and couldn’t help but be worried. “Miss, are you alright?”
“It’s fine. My legs are a bit hurting. I’ll apply some ointment to them later.”
Si Shu couldn’t help but feel distressed: Miss is very particular about her daily activities. She really hasn’t suffered such a crime.
Si Hua prepared the water to come up as Mu Yunyao wanted to freshen up briefly. When her hand was immersed in the water, she felt waves of piercing pain. As she looked closely under the candlelight, her palm was scratched by the reins.
After using warm water to wash her hands, Mu Yunyao stiffly sat on the bed. She carefully applied medicine to the abrasions on her fingers and legs. After she was done with it, her forehead was already covered in a cold sweat from the pain.
Si Qin carried some food over. Seeing Mu Yunyao struggling to straighten her clothes, she hurriedly stepped forward to help, “Miss, if you have anything to do, just instruct us.”
Mu Yunyao borrowed Si Qin’s hand to walk to the table and sit down, “All of you have been working extremely hard. I’ve only suffered a few small injuries, so it’s fine. Is there any news coming from Bu Xian Lou?”
Si Qin took out the letter on the bottom of the tray: “Please have a look, Miss.”
After reading the letter’s content, Mu Yunyao’s expression became even more unsightly. Linjiang City was severely affected by the disaster, and countless commoners died, but they couldn’t find any news about Yue Wang …
Seeing her expression, Si Qin knew that there was still no good news, “Miss, His Royal Highness Yue Wang is auspicious. His Royal Highness will definitely be fine.”
Mu Yunyao took a deep breath and destroyed the letter under the candlelight. She picked up the rice porridge Si Qin had prepared and started eating, “I also believe that Fourth Master will be fine.” She needed to restore her strength to support Linjiang City.
After a few days of upset stomachs, her appetite was too bad. As she rode, she felt waves of pain in her stomach. After barely being able to eat sixty percent fullest, she couldn’t eat anymore.
“Miss, your appetite is too bad.There is absolutely no way to go on like this. Miss, do you want to eat anything else? This servant will ask someone to prepare it for you now.”
“Since we’re out, it’s inconvenient to do all sorts of things. I just need to eat a few simple meals. You guys should hurry up to rest. Tomorrow morning, we still need to continue on our journey.”
Si Qin thought of preparing some delicious food in the morning, but she couldn’t do it. After helping Mu Yunyao inspect the bed, she closed the door and retreated.
She was obviously exhausted. However, Mu Yunyao didn’t feel sleepy as she lay on the bed. In the latter half of the night, just as she was falling asleep, she suddenly heard a sound coming from the door. She opened her eyes abruptly and fished the dagger Yue Wang had given her under the pillow as her body tensed.
“Miss, it’s your subordinate, Liu Liang.” A figure entered through the window, and his clear voice was quite pleasant in the night.
Mu Yunyao’s heart relaxed, but a hint of pleasant surprise flashed in her eyes, “Liu Liang, why are you here?”
He walked to the side of the table. He then lit a candle flame before bowing towards Mu Yunyao, who was wearing an outer shirt beside the bed, “Not long after your subordinate arrived at Jingling City, a dam burst in Linjiang City. I went to Linjiang City to look for His Royal Highness Yue Wang, but I couldn’t find him in the entire city. Later, I found this in a cellar....”
As Liu Liang spoke, he took out a bag embroidered satchel with a treasure pattern from his sleeve.
Mu Yunyao suddenly widened her eyes as the dagger in her hand clanged against the ground. “You said that it was found in the cellar?”
