He was the Emperor. Even if she died one day, she couldn't be buried with him in the Emperor's tomb.
Was this his arrangement for her?
Jun Xiqing lowered her long lashes and chuckled to herself.
"Ha."
Her low laughter reverberated in the quiet room. It was extremely gentle, as if she was mocking herself, as if she was sad.
Fan Men knew how cruel this was for a girl, but he had no choice. The man Jun Xiqing loved was not an ordinary person.
"Miss Jun …"
Jun Xiqing looked at Little Pipi, who was playing around. "I want to wait for him for another six months. If he doesn't return in six months, I will personally hold Chengye's hand and walk to the top of the Emperor's throne."
Fan Men didn't say anything else. This six months was the last chance. If His Highness was still alive, he would definitely return.
Perhaps he was seriously injured now and couldn't return, but with this mother-son pair in the palace, he would definitely find a way to return.
"Yes, Miss Jun." Fan Men nodded.
"Is there any news from Mu Yanfeng?"
"We've already wiped out all of Mu Yanfeng's forces and uprooted him. However, Mu Yanfeng is very cunning. We haven't caught him yet, so we don't know where he's hiding."
Jun Xiqing nodded. "Got it. You may leave."
"Yes."
Fan Men left. Jun Xiqing's delicate body was bathed in the bright sunlight, but the warm sunlight didn't suit her at all. She seemed to be filled with sadness and sorrow.
Yiyiyaya ~
At this moment, Little Pipi crawled over and tugged at Mommy's dress with his fair and tender little hands.
Jun Xiqing turned back, only to see Little Pipi giggling at her with his toothless mouth.
Jun Xiqing's heart fluttered. She reached out and hugged Little Pipi in her arms, kissing its forehead.
…
Half a year later.
In the blink of an eye, half a year had passed. There was no news of Lu Yeming. He didn't return.
Fan Men brought his men to capture Mu Yanfeng and engaged in a bloody battle. Mu Yanfeng was stabbed in the heart and died on the spot.
Jun Xiqing was stunned when she heard the news of Mu Yanfeng's death. She felt that Mu Yanfeng's death had been too simple.
On this day, Fan Men came to the study and knocked on the door. "Miss Jun."
Half a year had passed, and the country could not go a day without a ruler.
There was no sound from inside.
No one answered him.
Knock knock knock. Fan Men continued to knock on the door. "Miss Jun, are you inside? The Ministry of Rites has already chosen an auspicious date to officially crown Cheng Ye as the new Emperor in three days. I have some specific matters that I need to consult with you."
There was still no sound from inside.
Jun Xiqing didn't reply.
Fan Men found it strange and pushed open the study room door. "Miss Jun, this …"
The study was empty. Jun Xiqing was not there.
Fan Men's heart sank. He quickly went out and asked a maid, "Have you seen Miss Jun?"
"No." The maid shook her head.
Jun Xiqing had disappeared.
Fan Men quickly ran to the baby's room. At this moment, the confinement nanny came out. "Madam, where is His Highness?"
The confinement nanny replied, "Just now, His Royal Highness was carried away by Miss Jun."
What?
Jun Xiqing had carried Cheng Ye away. Where did the mother and son go?
Fan Men broke out in cold sweat. His Highness hadn't returned for such a long time. Slowly, everyone had accepted the fact that His Highness wasn't coming back, including himself.
His Highness was the ruler of Country A. The only one left was Cheng Ye's bloodline. Cheng Ye was the esteemed Crown Prince and nothing could happen to him. But now, Jun Xiqing had carried Cheng Ye away and both mother and son had disappeared.
Where did they go?
It was as though a bucket of cold water had been poured over Fan Men's head. A terrifying thought surfaced in his mind. Would Jun Xiqing take Cheng Ye away and never come back?
This was His Highness's home, this was his country. What did it have to do with her?
Did she not want her son to bear such a heavy burden from a young age? Did she not want to spend the next 18 years of her youth in this painful place, building a cage for herself?
The more Fan Men thought about it, the more worried he became. What should he do?
If Jun Xiqing had really taken Cheng Ye away, Country A would be in chaos!
Fan Men looked at one of his subordinates and gave an order in a low voice. "Quickly inform Commander Xuan and Ye Jue of Jun Xiqing's disappearance. Have them make preparations. Also, quickly close the city gates and seal all the roads. Secretly investigate Jun Xiqing and the Crown Prince's whereabouts. We must find them!"
"Yes."
…
On the bustling street, Little Pippi was wearing a light yellow T-shirt and a little gentleman's overalls. He was already ten months old, so he walked very early. His little arms and legs stumbled as he ran, but he would happily climb back up after falling a few steps.
When the passersby saw Little Pipi, they all exclaimed, "Oh my god, whose Baby Meng is that? He's so good looking. He's already so good looking now, who knows how many young ladies will fall for him when he grows up."
"Mommy ~ Mommy ~"
Little Pipi called out, pouncing over and hugging Jun Xiqing's calf.
Jun Xiqing wore a rainbow-colored hollowed out sweater today, it was a bright and pretty color. Her pure black hair cascaded down her back and she carried a small sachet on her. She looked so delicate that people would definitely turn their heads to look at her.
Such a beautiful mother-and-son pair appeared on the streets and everyone turned to look at them.
Jun Xiqing bent down and carried Little Pipi in her arms. She kissed Little Pipi's delicate face. "Pipi, did you have fun today?"
"Yes ~ yes ~"
Little Pipi clapped his hands and giggled.
Jun Xiqing carried Little Pipi to a bus stop. At this moment, a bus stopped and the driver shouted, "Those who want to go home, hurry up and board the bus. This is the last bus to go home!"
"Pipi, let's board the bus, okay?"
"Okay ~"
Jun Xiqing boarded the bus with Little Pipi in her arms. She paid a token and sat at a seat by the window.
This seat was very familiar. She had sat on it before. It was also the last bus to go home with Lu Yeming. Now she was sitting on it with her son.
Little Pipi was having fun, but he was also very tired. Jun Xiqing wiped his sweat and let him drink some water. Very quickly, Little Pipi fell asleep in Mommy's arms.
Jun Xiqing kissed her son's forehead. Pipi, after today, these simple pleasures will have nothing to do with you. Mommy feels very sorry, but this is your path, the path to power that is filled with flowers and thorns.
Jun Xiqing lifted her eyes, her eyes landing on the window of the bus. At this moment, she saw a familiar tall figure.
