"Yes." Recently, someone has discovered her whereabouts in Yueyuan. "

"Just her alone? Is there anyone else? "

"No more. I heard that her son is dead, and she's the only one left. Your Majesty, should we pursue this matter with her? "

"Go after her?" Zhao Deji stood up. Over the past year, he had been frightened by the nightmare multiple times, the woman who had risked her life to save him before, had she come back to claim her life because of him?

He suddenly shivered. "Is she a human or a ghost?"

Zhang Quwei naturally knew what he was thinking, "It's a human! Naturally, it was a human. Hua Rong did not die. She escaped that time and managed to survive.

Zhao Deji heaved a sigh of relief and placed his hands on his forehead: "Very good, very good, we will never have nightmares again."

Zhang Quwei waited until he calmed down a little before asking, "Your Majesty, how should we deal with her?"

"Don't disturb her, just let me handle this."

He whispered a few words to Zhang Quwei, who understood what he meant and immediately went to arrange things.

After a few sunny days, the Yueyuan's Peach Blossom and Pear Blossom were all open, and the bees were buzzing in the forest. It was extremely lively. Both Hua Rong and Li Yian sighed deeply as they stepped onto the ground once again.

The two of them found a stone bench in the forest and sat down. Li Yian let out a long sigh: "I never thought that we would be the only two people left in the Yueyuan."

Hua Rong slightly nodded, her body leaning on a pear tree behind him. The past was still fresh in her mind and she was in a bit of a trance. Beside her, Li Yian's hair was completely white, and she almost didn't look like a bun. She closed her eyes, tired from the spring day. Life is a journey of exhaustion and helplessness. How can I maintain the eternal vigor and strength to take revenge?

The two of them sat for an unknown period of time, before the sound of footsteps came. Hua Rong raised her head and saw that on the stone path in front of them, Xu Caizhi had brought two eunuchs and ran over.

Xu Caizhi cried out involuntarily, "It really is the Madame Yue, you're still alive."

It wasn't that Hua Rong didn't know of his opening that day, even though Peng Quan still died in the end. She looked at Xu Caizhi. They understood each other and there was no further communication, as they were afraid of bringing disaster to Xu Caizhi.

She cupped her hands together and said indifferently: "What do you need, Master Xu?"

Xu Caizhi said softly: "His Majesty knows that you are still alive and is extremely happy. He sent lower official over to deliver a gift." He raised his hand, and the Young Eunuch brought up a big box filled with gold, silver, and jewelry.

"His Majesty has already forgiven you, telling you to be at ease to stay in Yueyuan and not offend your family."

Hua Rong nodded her head, she understood Xu Caizhi's meaning, Zhao Deji, this is also a great opportunity for him to show the people of the world this "benevolent and righteous lord": Look, how much preferential treatment do I give to the widow who betrayed Yue Pengju?!

"His Majesty also said that if you have any requests, feel free to mention them. He will definitely be satisfied with everything. "

Without even thinking about it, Hua Rong turned to Xu Caizhi and said: "I am a widow now, with no one to rely on other than Imigenol. Imigenol has swept away half of her life's possessions for Wang Jixian. Can Master Xu request for Wang Jixian to return it to you? "

Wang Jixian only had one hand covering the sky, Xu Caizhi did not dare to offend him, but hearing Hua Rong brought up this matter, he was secretly happy, and took this opportunity to punish this accomplice of Qin Gui's, and immediately agreed.

Hua Rong's attitude was extremely cold: "Alright, Master Xu, there's nothing else I can do, you may leave."

"Yes, lower official will take his leave."

A few Young Eunuch s followed Xu Caizhi and left, discussing about it: "This woman, is the relative of a criminal, yet she is still so imposing, and is so rude to Master Xu …"

Xu Caizhi knew very well that Hua Rong was afraid that it would implicate him. The more distant they were from each other, the more Zhao Deji would not be suspicious of him. He secretly thanked Hua Rong for her good will and purposely said: "This woman really doesn't know what's good for herself."

After Xu Caizhi left, Li Yian became worried: "Sister Shi Qi, would Zhao Deji think of some bad idea again?"

Bad idea, that's for sure. But according to Zhao Deji's character, he would never dare to openly steal him into the palace, so he had to maintain his image. What he should do next, he would take it one step at a time.

In the entire evening, Zhao Deji was pacing around the study room. He dismissed all his consorts, fidgeting with excitement. Hua Rong was actually still alive, and had returned to Lin An. He was tormented by the impotence and the Minister's urge to adopt these two things. In her heart, she had only one hope, and that was to have Hua Rong give birth to her own son. Since she was back, how could she let go of this chance?

Young Eunuch entered. "Shangguan Family, Xu Caizhi is back …"

"Quick, come in."

Xu Caizhi entered and was about to greet his, he anxiously shook his hand: "There's no need to be so courteous, quickly tell me about Hua Rong's situation. How is Rong Er? "

"She has changed a lot over the past year, has lost a lot of weight, has lost a lot of spirit. "His entire body is extremely weak …"

"Alright, alright, alright …" Naturally, the weaker Hua Rong was, the better. The weakness of the body often affected the strength of the mind. He really wished for Hua Rong to become weak, as her entire spirit would weaken and only then would he be able to knead and flatten them.

"Did she take the gift?"

"I've accepted them. Now that she has no one to rely on, and no one to support her, she happily accepted all the gifts. "

"Good, good, good."

"But, she has another request …" Xu Caizhi hesitated and didn't dare say.

"What is it? "Say it quickly, don't stutter."

"She said that the Medical Officer Wang Jixian robbed Li Yian's collection and wanted him to return it to his."

Zhao Deji frowned: "Who is Li Yian?"

"It's that famous female poet …"

"Oh, I remember now, it's that old woman who was at her home in the past, the famous poet Li Yian?"

"Right."

"Why would Wang Jixian plunder her collection?"

Xu Caizhi said in a low voice: "Wang Jixian relied on Your Majesty's grace to go through a lot of trouble these past few years. Although Li Yian has fallen, he is still a famous scholar, and is highly respected by all. Wang Jixian took a fancy to her collection and plundered it by force … "

"How dare Wang Jixian! How dare he bully an old granny. Someone, immediately send a message to Wang Jixian, inform him that we have an order and that he must return Li Yian's collected items within one day. "

"Yes."

Zhang Quwei and Wang Jixian wanted to be friends, but they didn't dare inform him now. They could only flatter Zhao Deji: "The Shangguan Family is benevolent, not only did he forgive Hua Rong, he even avenged his relatives. Tang Tai Zong is known as the Lord of Eternal Light, how can he compare to the benevolence and righteousness of Your Majesty?"

Zhao Deji was overjoyed, "It is a pity that Rong Er does not understand my kind intentions. I can't treat her any better. "

That night, Hua Rong and Li Yian were unable to sleep soundly. They stayed up until dawn, when they heard the commotion outside the door, and a Attendant came in to report. "Madam, Madam, medical officer has sent a lot of things over."

The two of them quickly went out the door and saw that there were seven to eight boxes stacked at the door, all of them belonging to Wang Jixian's residence.

Li Yian was already counting. He looked at her and she nodded: "You guys go. I'll clean up the rest myself. "

Once everyone had left, Hua Rong asked, "Have you brought the items back?"

Li Yian sighed and shook his head. He had indeed returned most of the treasures, but Wang Jixian had not returned some of the treasures.

Hua Rong said angrily: "We'll call him back later."

"Sister Shi Qi, there's no need. Wang Jixian and Qin Gui had colluded with each other and covered the sky with one hand. If we continue to chase him down, he will definitely retaliate in private. "

Hua Rong thought for a bit, then stopped pursuing the matter, and anxiously asked the Attendant s that she had hired to bring all these things into the residence.

As Li Yian looked at these things that he had lost and recovered, mixed emotions filled his heart. Hua Rong said in a low voice, "Justices, I bought a house outside the city. You can go there and spend the rest of your life. "

Li Yian was shocked: "Sister Shi Qi, what are you doing?"

Hua Rong smiled slightly. She had made inquiries about this house on the way back to Lian'an. The current him, other than Li Yian, had no other concerns. As for Zhao Deji and Qin Gui, they would definitely not lay their hands on an harmless old lady, adding to the criticism of the world. Therefore, being able to settle Li Yian down could also be considered as the first great good thing that he would be able to survive and return to Lin An.

"Sister Shi Qi, I want to accompany you."

Hua Rong's heart soured as she stared at her white hair. In the past, a beauty that could topple empires had drifted away for half a lifetime because of the war and the loss of a ruler. The fates of people in troubled times were not comparable to that of pigs and dogs.

"Jussi, as long as you are safe, I will no longer worry about you. I still have some things to take care of. Once I'm done, I'll accompany you and live a peaceful life. "

Seeing her calm expression, Li Yian felt uneasy in his heart and refused to leave on his own no matter what. Hua Rong was helpless. At that time, he did not leave after seeing how dangerous it was for Penga to be killed, but now was not the same as in the past. She had other plans in her heart, and after doing all that he could to persuade his, he guaranteed that he would quickly go out and meet with her. But in the end, Li Yian was still worried and kept questioning, "Big Sister Shi Qi, you can't do anything stupid."

Hua Rong let out a long sigh: "What kind of stupid thing can I do? Could she even kill Zhao Deji? "Hai."

It was impossible for a woman to assassinate the Emperor. Li Yian shook his head and said with a smile: "Gui Shi, don't worry, I still need to think for Sis GaoSi and her son."

Thinking about the Sis GaoSi, Li Yian felt a burst of sadness in his heart, "If they come back, we have a companion as well."

"Don't worry, I'll arrange this."

Li Yian was extremely worried, but this time, when he returned, it was as if his entire person had changed greatly, and was as calm as if nothing had happened. It was this calmness that made her feel even more worried and fearful. Since Wang Jixian was willing to return the treasure, it was naturally at his behest. Why did Zhao Deji suddenly issue such an imperial edict? Other than that, what other reason could he have?

Since Hua Rong wanted to settle the both of them, wouldn't she have to sacrifice herself?

"Sister Shi Qi, old body is already at the end of his years. Whether it was a collection or a manor, it wasn't really important. "The important thing is that you can live, live safe and sound …"

Hua Rong stared at her eyes that were filled with tears. She knew, she knew, that Li Yian and her were already like mother and daughter. This old lady who was at death's door, other than him, who else would take care of her?

Hua Rong had begun her mission that day and sent people to send her out of the city. She settled down in a quiet and orderly courtyard and hired two reliable servants for her. Hua Rong was completely at ease with them. Only by leaving behind sufficient money to protect the three of them for the rest of their lives would she be able to return to the Yueyuan alone.

Li Yian had settled down, following that was Zhang Xian's wife and children. Sis GaoSi and Sis had been sent away, the journey was desolate, how could they return to Lin An?

She didn't think too much and immediately fell asleep.
