"We've only been in the capital for a month or so, and we're guests from another country, so we don't dare to run around. We're only thinking about rescuing Miss, so where would we find the time to inquire about some strange news? What we know is from the vice envoy's orders. We really don't know anything else. Miss, your body is not well yet. This servant will wait for you to drink some soup and rest. We'll be leaving the city in a bit. "
Pangui lifted a corner of the curtain and waved his hand at a mute girl who was following silently outside. That mute girl respectfully brought in the box with the soup in her arms.
Ning Shu had many doubts. Originally, she did not plan on drinking the soup. But when the wooden box was opened and she smelled the sweet fragrance, she couldn't help but take a tentative sip.
Because the fragrance was strangely familiar. It was like when she was a child, she really acted coquettishly in front of her mother, begging her mother to make her a bowl of sweet soup.
"Mother, mother, I want to drink the sweet soup you made. Just one sip and I'll be fine."
Her mother held her in her arms and rocked her gently. She kissed her forehead and comforted in a soft voice, "Good, good, good. You little greedy cat, mother will make it for you. My little greedy cat, you have to get better quickly after drinking the soup. "
Pangui's voice seemed to have some kind of magic. Combined with her burning eyes, they formed two bottomless black holes. Her eyes blurred and her mind and soul were unconsciously sucked in.
"This is Miss's favorite sweet soup. Ever since Miss and Furen were separated, Furen has been cooking this soup every day. When the soup is cold, she will cook it again. When it's done, she will put it there and watch it gradually cool down. Day after day, year after year. Everyone in the fu knows how to make this soup. Fourth Miss, Furen is waiting at home for you to return. "
Ning Shu's expression was dazed. "Mother is waiting for me … …"
Pangui's hand floated in front of her eyes. His voice was slow and deep. "Yes, you're sleepy now. Close your eyes and sleep for a while. You'll see Furen soon."
Her eyes slowly closed. Ning Shu sank back into chaos. When Pan Gui saw this, he exchanged glances with the mute girl and exhaled at the same time.
Putting the bowl of soup back into the wooden box, Pan Gui said, "Young Miss is too clever. She caught me a few times. Fortunately, I have this bowl of soup. We have passed this hurdle. In the future, we have to be more careful. At the very least, we have to endure until we leave the Great Yue Domain."
The mute girl looked at Ning Shu anxiously, as if she had thousands of words to say, but she forced them down and pointed at herself.
Pangui shook his head and said, "Better let me do it. You continue to stand guard outside. I'm afraid that your willpower isn't firm and instead spoil Madam's important matter. Don't worry, I'm here. I won't let anything happen to her. "
The long convoy finally arrived at the city gates. Xiao Yunyi pulled the reins and stopped the horses.
Deputy Envoy Tuoba Han said with a smile, "Thank you, Sixth Prince, for sending us all the way here on behalf of your country's Monarch. The city gates are right in front. Even if you send us off for a thousand miles, we still have to part. Sixth Prince, please stop. If Sixth Prince has the chance to visit my Southern Yan in the future, this envoy will definitely welcome you."
Xiao Yunyi nodded politely. "Envoy Tuoba is too polite. This time, I'm bringing my Great Yue's princess back to the country through marriage. What I'm bringing back is not only my Royal Father's precious pearl, but also my Great Yue's ten thousand years of friendship. Please be sure to tell your country's Monarch to treat the princess well. This Prince is extremely grateful."
"Hahaha, of course. It's my Southern Yan's fortune to have this pearl. How can we wait? Sixth Prince, don't worry. It's getting late. We have to hurry on our way. Farewell, Your Highness! "
Tuoba Han waved his arm and the long convoy set off again, slowly driving out of the capital. The person sitting in the red carriage with red paint and red silk silently shed two streams of hot tears through the red veil in front of her. She solemnly bid farewell to Xiao Yunyi, and from now on, she would be separated from her homeland.
Xiao Yunyi sat on the horse and watched the convoy pass by one by one, sending them off with his eyes. Beside him, the guard with a golden mask said softly, "Your Highness, His Majesty's mission has been completed. I'll escort you back to your residence."
A crack finally appeared on Xiao Yunyi's zombie-like face, revealing the red flesh inside. The red veins in his eyes floated up one by one, the veins on the back of his hand swelled up one by one, almost bursting. "Something like that happened to her, but I couldn't even go and visit her immediately. Instead, I'm still here fulfilling the so-called Emperor's orders. You want me to go back to my residence now? Do you want me to not even see her for the last time?! "
"I've said too much. Please punish me, Your Highness!"
Xiao Yunyi raised his head and looked at the blue sky, his voice like a knife cutting into his heart. "Ha, in the past, I always blamed her for not giving me a chance. I even dared to swear with my life. Why couldn't she believe me just once and believe that I was sincere to her? Only now did I know the reason. Her understanding of me was far too deep. The words' weighing the pros and cons' had long been carved into my bones. Even if I didn't like Imperial Father's marriage, I wouldn't reject it on the spot. That was because the Eldest Princess' bloodline was extremely important to me in obtaining the throne. Even if I was in so much pain when I heard the news of her death and wanted to rush over to see her immediately, I still accepted Father's order with a smile. Because that was the trust Father had for his favorite son. Ambition and shrewdness, hypocrisy and ruthlessness. These four words are really the best description that God has for me. In this life, I'm destined not to be worthy of her. "
The guard was even more terrified and his knees hit the ground. "Your Highness, you can't be so self-deprecating!"
He slowly looked away and exhaled a long and trembling breath. "Get up. She won't be able to hear you anymore. Come with me to the Duke's residence. I want to see her for the last time."
He turned his horse around and brushed past the last carriage that had fallen behind the caravan. As they brushed past each other, a gust of wind suddenly appeared out of nowhere and gently lifted a corner of the carriage's curtains.
A strange feeling flashed past Xiao Yunyi's heart and he instinctively stretched out his arm. "Wait!"
