"Prince, this is the king's will. Since you disappeared at the border, we palace guards have been incorporated into the border army and are responsible for leading patrols every day."
The chief guard explained patiently, "I have been on duty here for several months, and now it is a great honor to finally see the prince back!"
"So that's how it is," Ping Shun couldn't help sighing, before he knew it, he had left his hometown for more than a year, and he really didn't know what his father and mommy were concerned about, "where are my daddy and mommy, how are they in good health? "
"Prince, the king's body is very strong, but the queen is always crying because of your disappearance, and her health is not very good..."
The guard whispered while carefully observing Ping Shun's face.
When he found that Ping Shun was frowning sadly, he immediately changed his words, "Now that the prince is finally back, the queen's body will definitely recover immediately!"
"Let's open the way ahead, rush to the palace immediately!" Ping Shun anxiously went back to see his mommy, and ordered repeatedly, "Do as fast as you can throughout the journey, and no one is allowed to stop!"
"Yes!" The guards said in unison, feeling overjoyed.
Compared with the comfort in the palace, they naturally don't want to guard the border.
Now that the prince has returned, they have received him again. There must be many rewards waiting for them when he returns!
A group of people rode their horses and galloped straight to the palace of country P.
At this time, the atmosphere in the palace was as solemn as before.
Since Ping Shun's disappearance, the entire P country has fallen into a stagnant atmosphere, and no one dares to show the slightest laughter.
Queen Lu Hui'er shed tears almost every day. She didn't think about food and drink, and was very sick.
Seeing his wife so sad, although Dalbe felt distressed, he had no way to persuade her.
Because he knew that his son Pingshun was Lu Huier's life, and even if he had worn out his lips, Lu Huier wouldn't get better if Pingshun didn't come back.
He had no choice but to send more people out to find Ping Shun's whereabouts, and even traveled far away by himself, just to meet his son just in time.
However, there is no such coincidence in the world. Seeing that a year has passed, there is still no news from Pingshun, which makes Dalbe and Lu Hui'er grow old a lot.
When parents encounter this kind of thing, of course they are very sad, but there is someone who is more sad than them.
That person is none other than Fu Rong who grew up with Ping Shun!
She could never accept Ping Shuncong's disappearance at her engagement ceremony. Like Lu Huier, she was heartbroken every day. She lost several rounds of weight and looked extremely weak.
Lu Hui'er felt sorry for her adopted daughter, and tried to persuade Fu Rong several times, trying to make her look away.
However, Furong insisted on waiting for Pingshun to return, saying that she firmly believed that Pingshun just couldn't find a home for the time being and would come back soon.
Fu Rong's persistence moved Lu Huier very much, and she went to visit Fu Rong soon after, encouraging her to cheer up like herself.
Seeing that a year had passed since Pingshun disappeared, Lu Huier felt very uncomfortable, knowing that her son was probably in danger.
Although she didn't want to admit it, many things were already doomed, and it wasn't something that could be avoided if she didn't want to accept it.
On this day, as usual, Fu Rong came to pay her respects to Lu Huier with her own stewed bird's nest.
"Mum, I just cooked Xueyan bird's nest, and I brought it here for you to taste." Furong said, and put the warm bird's nest into Lu Hui'er's hand.
"Okay, okay," Lu Huier said two good words in a row, and then looked at Fu Rong with a smile, "You child, you are just too kind. If you encounter someone with powerful means, you will definitely suffer."
Fu Rong obediently beat Lu Hui'er's shoulder, "Mommy, with you here, Fu Rong is not afraid, you will not sit and watch Fu Rong being bullied, Fu Rong knows."
"You girl, you just have a sweet mouth." Lu Hui'er laughed softly, drinking the bird's nest sent by Fu Rong, "Well, it's really good, the taste is very delicious, thick and mellow."
"If Mommy likes it, Furong will cook it for Mommy every day." Furong carefully helped Lu Huier pinch her shoulders, and patiently waited for Lu Huier to finish eating the bowl of bird's nest, then she suggested softly, "Mommy, the weather outside is so good, our mother Let the girls go for a walk outside and bask in the sun, okay?"
"Alright, let's go outside for a walk." Lu Huier conveniently placed the half-drunk bird's nest bowl on the table, and then stood up with Fu Rong's support.
Because of Ping Shun's disappearance, she has been in poor health recently. The doctor said that she should get more exposure to the sun, which is good for her health.
Fu Rong carefully supported Lu Hui'er, and the two wandered around the palace.
Lu Hui'er's physical fitness has been very poor recently, and she felt tired after walking a few steps, so she was supported by Fu Rong and sat on a stone beside the artificial lake.
The sun was warm, and the breeze was blowing on the lake, making ripples.
Standing behind Lu Huier, Fu Rong beat her shoulders lightly and patiently asked, "Mummy, will this make you feel better?"
"Okay, okay, we, Furong, are sensible and well-behaved, and our family Pingshun is able to marry you as a daughter-in-law. It is really a blessing from a previous life."
As Lu Hui'er said that, her smiling face suddenly darkened.
Her precious son has been missing for more than a year, but Fu Rong is still relentlessly waiting for his return...
Fu Rong's eyes darkened, she sighed slightly, and forced a smile, "It's okay Mommy, when he comes back, I will still be his most beautiful bride."
Lu Hui'er patted Fu Rong's hand lightly, "You child, you have been sensible and caring since you were a child, we are not blessed in Pingshun, alas."
"No, Mommy, I believe Brother Ping Shun will definitely come back, maybe he will appear behind us as soon as we turn around." Fu Rong tried her best to comfort Lu Hui'er, so that she wouldn't be too sentimental.
Lu Hui'er shook her head lightly. For more than a year, she has been waiting for her precious son to return all the time.
But every time, it ends in disappointment.
How smooth is she, where did that generous and sensible child go now?
Just when Lu Huier and Fu Rong were looking at the lake in a daze, there was a rhythmic sound of horseshoes behind them.
However, both of them were immersed in longing for Ping Shun, and neither of them paid much attention to it.
The sound of the horse's hooves moved from far to near, and finally stopped by the lake, and a powerful young man rolled over from above.
He looked at Lu Huier who was sitting on a rock looking at the lake, his eyes were red, and he strode over, "Mommy!"
Lu Hui'er, who was sitting on the rock, froze, thinking that she had an auditory hallucination, so she didn't dare to turn her head.
How many midnight dreams came back, and she heard her son's ardent calling in the same way.
