When Xiao Ying heard Yeluchun’s voice, her body stiffened as if someone had pressed on her acupuncture point. Ah Lu ran to the bedside in surprise. The source of this content nov(el)bi((n))
“Master, you’re awake?”
Yelu Chun pushed Ah Lu away and looked at Xiao Ying’s back. Tears flowed out of his eyes as he said to Xiao Ying in a trembling voice,
“Xiao Ying, I had a dream just now. I dreamt that I was terrible to you, I...I betrayed my oath. Xiao Ying, I was wrong. Can you forgive me?”
Xiao Ying’s tears flowed down like a dam. She covered her face and ran out of the guest room. The overwhelming grievance made her unable to say words of forgiveness.
Yelu Chun let Ah Lu support him as he staggered behind Xiao Ying. His repeated calls made Xiao Ying want to escape as soon as possible.
Just as Xiao Ying was about to run faster, Ah Lu called out to her,
“Princess Consort, His Highness has fallen.”
Xiao Ying didn’t harden her heart and turned back to help the weak Yeluchun up. Yeluchun took the opportunity to hold her hand tightly, refusing to let go no matter what.
“Xiao Ying, forgive me.”
His pleading gaze made Xiao Ying’s heartache. She cried and shook her head.
“I don’t know. Let me think.”
Xiao Zeyu stood in the corridor and saw their entanglement from afar. Xiao Ying’s pain made Xiao Zeyu’s heart ache. Since she was young, she had been carefree and did not know what worry was.
Xiao Zeyu shouldn’t have agreed with them in the first place. Xiao Ying couldn’t stand sharing a husband with someone else. Yelu Chun was a prince. Even if he didn’t have that bright moon, he would still have other women in a few years. Thinking of this, Xiao Zeyu hardened his heart.
No, he couldn’t let Xiao Ying go back. He couldn’t let her suffer anymore.
“Go and call the princess back.
“Let Yeluchun rest well,” Xiao Zeyu ordered the guards beside him.
Tomorrow, he would be sent back to Tartan. If he did not make a decision, he would be disturbed. This time, he had to be ruthless.
Xiao Zeyu didn’t look at Yeluchun anymore, turning around and leaving.
The guards took away Xiao Ying. Yelu Chun’s painful gaze prevented her from letting go for a long time. She tossed and turned in bed at night, unable to sleep.
Su Qing stayed in the Tartan Kingdom’s palace for a night. Consort Li begged to let Li’er stay in her bedchamber for a night, so Su Qing left Li’er with her.
But at least he knew that Li’er was still alive. Li’er would have long turned into white bones if not for Su Qing.
Su Qing felt depressed and uncomfortable. She rode her horse at full speed without stopping at the border of Tartan.
The image of the old Emperor hugging Consort Li and looking at her with a sad expression appeared before her eyes!
When Su Qing returned to Mo City, the guards of Mo City recognized her at a glance. The Empress was like a god in their hearts, their idol.
Su Qing entered the city without any obstructions. Immediately, the city guards came to welcome Su Qing and her horse. They were very respectful.
“Empress, you’re finally back. The Emperor is waiting for you in the palace.”
Although it was called a palace, it was Su Qing and Xiao Zeyu’s courtyard in Mo City. Their identities were different now, so it was renamed a palace.
Su Qing nodded and rode straight to the palace.
Xiao Zeyu didn’t sleep well last night and had a toothache. He visited Xiao Ying last night and saw that his sister’s eyes were swollen like peaches from crying, which made him very angry.
There wasn’t a single happy thing that happened today. When was Qing’ er coming back? Was Li’er cured? Would she be in danger?
Just as Xiao Zeyu was thinking about Su Qing, a guard ran in cheerfully to report,
“Emperor, the Empress has returned.”
Xiao Zeyu immediately perked up when he heard Su Qing’s returned and went out to welcome her with a beaming face.
Su Qing entered the courtyard and threw the horsewhip to the guard at the door. She strode into the inner hall. She wore a long green dress, and the wind blew her black hair. She walked with her back against the sun as if wearing golden armor.
“Qing’ er.”
Xiao Zeyu strode out to welcome her, calling her name impatiently. The worry he had for the past ten days was gone in an instant.
“Shuisheng.”
Su Qing smiled when she saw Xiao Zeyu. Xiao Zeyu came over to hold her arm and smiled at her. He said to her in a low voice,
“You are back!”
These three words were filled with longing. Looking into his eyes, Su Qing smiled and nodded.
“Yes.”
“Sister-in-law.”
Xiao Ying ran out when she heard the news. She looked at Su Qing’s hand hopefully. When Su Qing returned empty-handed, Xiao Ying’s legs went weak, and she knelt on the ground..
