Chapter 61: Don’t leave. You have to come back.
This voice was so loud that not only the people in the courtyard, but also the sleeping Duan Bai Yue woke up.
But after waking up, he did not open his eyes.
On his side, Chu Yuan put on his outer robe and hurriedly went outside. Only after hearing the sound of the door being closed did Duan Bai Yue open his eyes and look at the top of the bed, as if he was thinking about something.
Duan Yao stood in the courtyard, panting.
“Got it?” Nan Mo Xie rushed over from the next door with his hair in a mess, and even wearing only one shoe, one could tell that he was in a great hurry.
“Yes.” Duan Yao pulled out a small porcelain bottle from his pocket, “This is it.”
“Give it to me quickly.” Before Chu Yuan reached out his hand, Nan Mo Xie snatched the item and took it into his hands-after all, it was an impostor, it was always bad to show it too much, and it was better to hide it if you could.
“Is it Tianchen Sand?” Chu Yuan asked.
Duan Yao nodded, then shook his head, “I can’t say.”
Chu Yuan said, “From whom did you get it?”
Duan Yao answered crisply, “White-browed Immortal Weng.”
Chu Yuan said, “I have never heard of this name before.”
If you have not heard of it, then it is right, it is now made up in the afternoon. Nan Mo Xie opened the bottle cork and smelled it, said: “First take some of it to try to see.”
Chu Yuan skeptical: “Even this thing is not sure what, really can try?”
“Your Majesty need not worry.” Nan Mo Xie said, “White Eyebrows Immortal Weng and Xinan Mansion have no grudges, this time is also to do a deal with me, only willing to offer this thing. Moreover, even if it is a test of the medicine, I will still be fully prepared, and will definitely not risk my disciple’s life.”
Having said this, Chu Yuan could only nod his head.
Nan Mo Xie took the small porcelain bottle into the bedroom.
Chu Yuan originally wanted to follow, but was stopped by Duan Yao, saying, “When Master is healing, you don’t want to be disturbed by outsiders.”
Nan Mo Xie closed the door in time.
Chu Yuan stood in the courtyard and did not say anything for a long time.
He would not have thought that the Tianchen Sand that he had been trying to find would appear so easily. Although he had found the antidote, he didn’t feel relieved, but rather, he felt even less confident.
Duan Yao stood by the side, initially did not dare to make a sound, just kept looking at him carefully, and only later, when he was really worried that he might be imagining things, did he say, “In fact, for so many years, Xinan Mansion has sent a lot of people to look for the Tianchen Sand, in the south of heaven and north of earth, in the desert and overseas, and if it is true, it’s not a bad idea to do something.”
Chu Yuan returned to his senses, nodded and said, “Xiao Jin has also said that finding this medicine all depends on fate, maybe some time, you can find it unintentionally in a small store on the street.” The voice is very low, more like to say to himself, perhaps that is really the antidote, after all, looking for so many years, should always find not.
“Auspicious people will have their own destiny.” Duan Yao said, “Brother will be fine.”
Chu Yuan reluctantly smiled and said, “Uh-huh.”
Inside the house, Duan Bai Yue asked, “What exactly is this?”
Nan Mo Xie said, “Chicken droppings.”
Duan Bai Yue resolutely shoved the bottle back to him.
“Take it first.” Nan Mo Xie took out two pills from his sleeve, “It can stabilize your pulse a little bit in the next few days.” After all, it wouldn’t be right to take the so-called “antidote” and not see any improvement at all.
Duan Bai Yue said: “This trip is thanks to Master.”
“I just hope you can pass through this disaster safely.” Nan Mo Xie said, “Yao-er has already sent a message to the Shadow Chasing Palace today, so I guess Xiao Wu will go back to Xinan Mansion before us.”
“For so many years, this brother of mine has not done anything for him, but I have bothered him to do a lot of things for me.” Duan Bai Yue sighed.
“If you can be half as lucky as Xiao Wu, you should thank heaven and earth.” Nan Mo Xie patted his head. One of them has been suffering for more than twenty years, being Xinan Wang without any choice, not to mention being poisoned by compulsion, his beloved is still thousands of miles away, and he can’t even walk on the street together. The other one has been free since childhood, according to their own wishes to go to the shadow chasing palace, married a good girl as a wife, and in the first year got twin fat sons, strong and healthy tall and handsome. This kind of two people lined up together, anyone who looks at it cannot help but sympathize with the one on the left.
Duan Bai Yue slightly closed his eyes, and when his breath stabilized, he said, “Okay.”
“This is the last scene, make it more.” Nan Mo Xie urged, “Don’t let him get attached again.”
“Naturally.” Duan Bai Yue smiled, “Why would I bother with this kind of thing, Master.”
Yes. Nan Mo Xie opened the door while thinking, even if he still has his last breath, he will still say it won’t hurt with a deep look on his face.
That’s how they sing it in the theater.
“How is it?” Chu Yuan rushed forward.
Nan Mo Xie said, “It seems to be the antidote.”
“Really?” Duan Yao first became ecstatic, after all, he had rehearsed for more than ten times.
Nan Mo Xie said, “The pulse has stabilized a lot, and the stabbing pain in his heart has also receded a lot. But after all, the Golden Silkworm Thread has been in the body for too long, more or less injuring the foundation, this time suddenly removed instead of adapting, or quickly returning to the southwest ice room to recuperate.”
“That’s good.” Duan Yao said, “As long as we can cure the Golden Silkworm Thread, everything else is fine.”
“Go in and take a look.” Nan Mo Xie sidestepped.
Chu Yuan went inside, Duan Yao also hurried to follow, but was held back by his master, “What are you doing?”
Duan Yao’s chest was stuffy, why did he say he was making a scene, shouldn’t he be concerned about his brother?
Nan Mo Xie covered the door of the room for the two of them, and then carried the little disciple to the courtyard, complaining in a low voice: “Usually all day long, wrapped in tears, but not squeezing a couple of drops to fill up the appearance of the critical moment.” He also wanted to show that he was more ecstatic.
Duan Yao thought to himself, ‘My brother didn’t eat anything good, he almost ate chicken poop, and only a ghost can be happy about this kind of thing.’
Duan Bai Yue leaned back on the bed and smiled as he reached out to him.
“How are you?” Chu Yuan sat on the edge of the bed.
Duan Bai Yue said, “Much better.”
Chu Yuan held his wrist and tried his pulse, then put his ear to his heart and listened to his heartbeat, not even blinking for a long time.
Duan Bai Yue lost his smile and reached out to rub his head, “This time you really look like a little fool.”
“It really seems to have stabilized a bit more than before.” Chu Yuan looked at him, “Is it really Tianchen Sand?”
Duan Bai Yue said, “There should be no mistake.”
Chu Yuan said, “It’s good that you are fine.”
“Even if we cure the poison of the Gold Silkworm Thread, we still need to go back to the southwest first.” Duan Bai Yue said, “A short period of time is one year, but a longer period of time may be even longer. During this period of my absence, Duan Nian will remain in Wangcheng, so you can look for him at any time.”
Chu Yuan shook his head, “I’ve already said that there is no need to leave someone to protect me.”
“It’s not just to protect you, it’s also to be able to put my mind at ease.” Duan Bai Yue said, “Duan Nian grew up in the Southwest Province since he was a child and has never been to a few prosperous places, this is a good reason for him to spend two years in a big place to live a good life of extravagance, you are not allowed to treat him badly.”
Chu Yuan pushed him, “Uh-huh.”
“Alright, one more kiss.” Duan Bai Yue said, “And then go back to the palace, I don’t want you to see me sealed up.”
Chu Yuan said, “Being sealed in a wax shell, what kind of appearance is there to speak of.”
Duan Bai Yue said, “That won’t work either.”
Chu Yuan laughed, cupped his chin and kissed him.
Duan Bai Yue reached out and wrapped his hands around his waist, pulling him into his arms, his lips pressed tightly together, and the tip of his tongue scratched between each other’s teeth, bringing with it a familiar sweetness and peace of mind.
This kiss lasted longer than any previous intimacy, and when he thought of the upcoming separation, he wished that time would stop, and that no more moments would pass.
Duan Bai Yue released the person, and then came close to kiss his forehead gently.
Chu Yuan looked at him, his heart throbbing.
“Take good care of yourself.” Duan Bai Yue rubbed his thumb over his slightly red eyes, “Don’t stay in the Royal Study Room all night, your body is your own, eat meat, don’t clash with those old men for the sake of the Southwest, if you love to scold them, let them scold them, they are old and can’t live for a few years, don’t you think so?”
Chu Yuan averted his eyes and said, “Good.”
“Go back.” Duan Bai Yue said, “It’s a little later, it should be dawn when we go back.”
Chu Yuan came close and hugged him, his chin against his shoulder, his arms tightened, and he did not say anything for a long time.
Feeling the wetness on his shoulder, Duan Bai Yue patted his back, “I’ve said it all before, listen.”
“I’ll wait for you to come back.” Chu Yuan’s voice was hoarse, “I will wait as long as it takes.”
Listening to his trembling voice, Duan Bai Yue pinched his palms together, and only after a long time did he say, “Okay.”
“You have to come back.” Chu Yuan repeated again, not knowing who he was talking to. Although it is said that the Tianchen Sand has been found, the poison of the gold silkworm thread has been removed, and the remaining matters are not serious, but it always feels that a heart is hanging in mid-air, and the bottom is not an abyss, but the tip of a knife and sharp blade, and the slightest mistake will be drenched in blood.
The pain in his heart was so great that he almost suffocated, and Duan Bai Yue used all his strength, almost rubbing the person into pieces and embedding them into his bones.
“Hmm.”
Nan Mo Xie walked back and forth outside, looking at the sky from time to time, sighing in his heart. Even if he seems to be fine now, it is still a pile of medicine and silver needles. If he drags on, if the gold silkworm thread wakes up again, it will be difficult to fool. After thinking about it, he still hardened his heart and went to knock on the door.
“Go back, be careful on the road.” Duan Bai Yue used his thumb to wipe away his tears.
Chu Yuan stood up, wanted to say something, but did not know what he was going to say, heart and life are in front of this man, what else can be done.
Duan Bai Yue smiled, “Good boy.”
Chu Yuan closed his eyes and turned around to stride out the door. When he crossed the threshold, he almost fell over.
“Your Majesty.” Si Xi rushed forward to help him.
Duan Yao sneakily closes the door to the room, lest his brother be discovered vomiting blood again.
“Your Majesty doesn’t need to worry, returning to Xinan is to treat the injury, it’s not for anything else.” Nan Mo Xie said, “It looks serious now, but for those who practice martial arts, who haven’t been injured a few times, right?”
Chu Yuan nodded, “Thank you, senior.”
“Go back.” Nan Mo Xie said, “It’s cold in the mountains, don’t catch a cold.”
Chu Yuan looked back at the closed door of the house for the last time, Si Xi put on a cloak for him and went out of the small courtyard together.
Nan Mo Xie’s whole body was covered with cold sweat, his knees weakened, and he almost sat on the ground.
Acting is really more tiring than killing.
Duan Bai Yue’s condition was not so bad, still leaning on the bed, looking ahead.
Duan Yao pushed open the door.
“Gone?” Duan Bai Yue asked.
“Hmm.” Duan Yao sat beside him, “Do you want some water?”
Duan Bai Yue laughed: “What water in the middle of the night.”
“……” You have to find something else to talk about. Duan Yao said, “Otherwise, I don’t know how long you will have to be miserable.
Nan Mo Xie said at the door, “We’ll leave tomorrow morning.”
Duan Bai Yue said, “Okay.”
Nan Mo Xie took out a few white silkworms from the bottle, which is the rumored white jade cocoon. They can spit out waxy threads that can firmly seal a person, and even if they don’t breathe for a while, they can still last for three to five months.
Duan Bai Yue lay back on the bed.
Duan Yao was lying on the side of the bed, his eyes a little red.
“Why are you crying too?” Duan Bai Yue patted his head, “Can’t you be more auspicious.”
Duan Yao held back his tears.
Duan Bai Yue said, “It’s a blessing to be able to sleep for a hundred days or so.”
Duan Yao, with a strong sobbing voice, said, “Hmm.”
Duan Bai Yue laughed, “If you don’t want to see it, go out and wait.”
“You have to wake up.” Duan Yao urged, “Be sure to wake up.”
Duan Bai Yue nodded.
Nan Mo Xie picked up his little disciple’s collar and threw him out.
Duan Yao squatted in front of the door, staring wide-eyed at the purple toad, wanting to cry but thinking it was unlucky, his whole body was twitching.
Duan Bai Yue said, “Master start.”
Nan Mo Xie sighed and placed the white jade cocoon on him.
Time passes slowly and quickly.
The sun gradually rises to the east, the dewdrops on the grass leaves fall down, splashing a crystal on the ground.
Nan Mo Xie came out from the room.
“Master.” Duan Yao, who had been guarding the room all night, stood up.
“It’s alright.” Nan Mo Xie said, “Prepare the carriage and go back to Xinan Mansion.”
Duan Yao glanced inside the house and saw the humanoid white jade wax seal on the bed, and finally couldn’t help but cry out with a “wow” sound.
It’s one thing to think about it, but when you see your brother like this, you still want to bawl your eyes out.
Nan Mo Xie knew he would react this way and did not advise him. He was a little dizzy from worrying about this matter all night, so he sat down under the corridor to rest. After half an hour, Duan Yao stopped sobbing and asked, “Do you want to eat breakfast?”
Nan Mo Xie said, “I thought you were going to cry until tomorrow.”
Duan Yao wiped his tears, washed himself with cool water, and then went to the kitchen to bring back breakfast. The two of them didn’t want to go to the dining room, so they ate and talked on the stone table in the courtyard. How to crack Fen Xing Chess has yet to be fully learned, even if Duan Yao is gifted, it will still take at least half a month, so this time Nan Mo Xie will first bring Duan Bai Yue back to Xinan, leaving him to continue in the Northbound Palace.
“Just in time, go and accompany His Majesty more.” Nan Mo Xie said, “With you by his side, he will feel more comfortable, just remember one thing, don’t talk nonsense.”
Duan Yao nodded, “Hmm.”
Nan Mo Xie wiped his mouth for him, filled with sorrow.
When he came to Wangcheng, he was so excited and eager to go, but he never expected that he would be in such a sorry state when he went back.
After living for seventy to eighty years, this is the first time he has ever felt so much pain for his disciples. If life for life, he really would like to drill back to the grave no longer come out, honest eyes closed to heaven, only to let these few juniors have a good home.
Eat a simple breakfast, people from Xinan Mansion have been ready to carriage, Nan Mo Xie with Duan Bai Yue all the way out of the mountains, to Xinan galloping away.
“Your Majesty.” Eunuch Sixi said, “Let’s Return.” We’ve been here all night, now that Xinan Wang is gone, how much longer will we be standing there? It’s just an empty mountain road.
Chu Yuan’s shoulders were full of dew, as if he did not hear him, he watched the caravan completely disappear, only then said: “Good.”
Sixi sighed in his heart, the emperor’s eyes, really can’t bear to look at him more than once.
Duan Yao tidied up the room briefly and went back to the palace alone.
The old man was still napping in front of the chess game, and when he heard the door ring, he looked up and said, “You’re back, how’s your brother?”
Duan Yao sat across from him and said, ” Please don’t talk, I’m going to calm down for a while.”
The old man paused for a moment and said, “Good.”
Duan Yao’s eyes were red, and his chest was heaving.
The old man said, “You’re sixteen years old, you shouldn’t cry when things happen.”
Duan Yao choked desperately and corrected himself, “I’m fifteen.”
The old man said, “You can’t cry even if you’re fifteen.”
Duan Yao wiped his tears, “I don’t know if my brother will be lucky or not!
The old man looked at him and shook his head. He took out a handkerchief from his pocket and handed it over.
Looking at the black rag, Duan Yao decided to hold back his tears.
The old man said, “As I said, if you learn this Fen Xing Chess, you may be able to save your brother in the future.”
Duan Yao said, “Hmm.”
“Let’s learn four moves today.” The old man said, “You can leave a few days earlier.”
Duan Yao coughed, “Thank you, senior.”
The old man picked up a chess piece and gently dropped it on the chessboard.
Duan Yao wiped his nose and watched carefully.
There is still a group of ministers guarding outside the Royal Study Room, and Sixi waits for Chu Yuan to change his clothes and wash up, then tries to ask, “Why don’t we just not see them today? Your Majesty rests well.”
“No need.” Chu Yuan said, “I can’t sleep even if I lie down, let’s go.”
“Yes.” Sixi opened the door for him and followed him to the Royal Study Room. At the head of the line is naturally Tao Rende, he has been worried for several days, this time finally saw the emperor, sure he is safe and sound, a heart just fell back into the stomach.
“I only stayed in the Su Huai Mountain Villa for three or four days, why is there so much going on?” Chu Yuan frowned as he sat behind the desk.
“It is the subjects who are worried about the emperor.” Tao Rende said, “This time, after hearing that the emperor has swung back to the palace, that’s why they all wanted to come and greet him.”
“All who came to greet the emperor without any prior notice, retire.” Chu Yuan waved his hand.
Everyone knelt down to receive the decree and the room was half empty.
“Whoever wants to ask about Xinan Mansion can also retire.” Chu Yuan coldly said, “I don’t want to talk about it now.”
The room is half empty again.
Liu Dajiong glanced at Tao Rende, listening to no, the emperor let you stand down.
“…… Yes.” Although Tao Rende said full of doubts, but saw Chu Yuan look different, also recognize the interest did not ask more questions, bowed and left the Royal Study Room.
Liu Dajiong was the only one left in the room.
“Tell me, what is the matter of Liu Aiqing?” Chu Yuan asked.
“It has to do with that Goryeo Princess.” Liu Dajiong said, “The day before yesterday, there was news from the South China Sea, saying that the identity of the person married to Kim Shu has been identified, named Bukun, is the eldest son of a rich family in Bai Xiang Kingdom, the family does tea business, and occasionally sells some of the deep-sea jewelry to come to Da Chu.”
“Bai Xiang Kingdom’s rich family, that is no problem.” Chu Yuan said, “After tossing and turning for so long, this time is also considered to have married a good man.”
“Yes.” Liu Dajiong took the opportunity to say, “The King of Goryeo is also very satisfied with this brother-in-law, and even wants to visit the South Seas.”
Chu Yuan absentmindedly said, “He is free.”
Liu Da Jiong continued to laugh.
Chu Yuan had a headache, “Say what you have to say.”
“Actually, it’s not that important.” Liu Dajiong considered the wording, “only recently this year, Da Chu’s troop deployment, seems to have been biased …… cough, the south, the South China Sea that is even more than three heavy troops guarded. So, King Goryeo would like to ask, but what happened?”
Chu Yuan threw down the folding in his hand, displeased: “What does it have to do with him?”
“Naturally, it has nothing to do with him.” Liu Dajiong hurriedly said, “Just according to the meaning of the King of Goryeo, if there is really something wrong, then he will not go, not only not go himself, but also to pick up his sister back to Goryeo in a hurry, in order to feel at ease -“
“Enough.” Chu Yuan’s brain buzzing with pain, anger rushed out to interrupt, “Let him go to visit relatives, love to go for as long as possible, do not think about some things that have nothing to do with him!”
“Yes.” Liu Dajiong hurriedly bowed his head and led the order, “Your Majesty must not get angry and hurt the dragon’s body, it is the humble servant who should not bother Your Majesty with such trivial matters.”
“Retire.” Chu Yuan rubbed his temples, “I will be quiet alone for a while.”
Liu Da Jiong almost instantly disappeared from the Royal Study Room.
Tao Rende was waiting outside with his sleeves tucked in.
Liu Dajiong waved his hand, signaling him to go far away, the emperor does not look right, or does not want to touch the mold again.
“I said that Su Huai Mountain Village cannot go.” Until walking on the streets of Yunde City, Tao Rende is still complaining, “Since the Emperor ascended to the throne, can the Xinan Mansion of things let him comfortable once? Not to mention the fact that this time Xinan Wang came personally.” It was fortunate that there wasn’t a fight.
“Scared me to death.” Liu Dajiong looked around for a place to burn to quell his fear, “You didn’t see the eyes of the emperor just now, like he wanted to eat someone.”
“I think it’s Xinan Wang again.” Tao Rende is worried, in his mind calculating where to cut this time.
“Earlier the emperor deployed troops, I thought it was to deal with the southwest province.” Liu Da Jiong said, “I did not think that the troops were later pressed in the coastal towns, the other side, but even General Shen could not figure out the intention of the holy, can be really fishy.”
Tao Rende continued to sigh. At the beginning people have also been for this petition a few times, but never asked the reason, but two people almost dismissed. Although the emperor’s political achievements in the past few years are obvious to all, this time the deployment of troops in the south, can really not have a trace of reason.
The sky is getting darker and darker. Duan Yao came out from the remote courtyard but saw Sixi standing guard outside: “Duan Xiao Wangye.”
“What brings you here, Your Excellency?” Duan Yao was surprised.
“His Majesty asked the old slave to guard this place.” Eunuch Sixi said, “The dinner has been prepared and is waiting for Duan Xiao Wangye.”
Duan Yao: “……”
“It’s just the Emperor and Duan Xiao Wangye.” Eunuch Sixi said, and then lowered his voice, “His Majesty hasn’t eaten anything for a day, so I’d like to ask you to give him more advice.”
Duan Yao nodded, “Ok.”
After all, my brother is not here.
He can only coax his sister-in-law to do this kind of errand with himself and Sixi.
Chapter 61: Don’t leave. You have to come back.
This voice was so loud that not only the people in the courtyard, but also the sleeping Duan Bai Yue woke up.
But after waking up, he did not open his eyes.
On his side, Chu Yuan put on his outer robe and hurriedly went outside. Only after hearing the sound of the door being closed did Duan Bai Yue open his eyes and look at the top of the bed, as if he was thinking about something.

“Take good care of yourself.” Duan Bai Yue rubbed his thumb over his slightly red eyes, “Don’t stay in the Royal Study Room all night, your body is your own, eat meat, don’t clash with those old men for the sake of the Southwest, if you love to scold them, let them scold them, they are old and can’t live for a few years, don’t you think so?”
Chu Yuan averted his eyes and said, “Good.”
“Go back.” Duan Bai Yue said, “It’s a little later, it should be dawn when we go back.”
Chu Yuan came close and hugged him, his chin against his shoulder, his arms tightened, and he did not say anything for a long time.
Feeling the wetness on his shoulder, Duan Bai Yue patted his back, “I’ve said it all before, listen.”
“I’ll wait for you to come back.” Chu Yuan’s voice was hoarse, “I will wait as long as it takes.”
Listening to his trembling voice, Duan Bai Yue pinched his palms together, and only after a long time did he say, “Okay.”
“You have to come back.” Chu Yuan repeated again, not knowing who he was talking to. Although it is said that the Tianchen Sand has been found, the poison of the gold silkworm thread has been removed, and the remaining matters are not serious, but it always feels that a heart is hanging in mid-air, and the bottom is not an abyss, but the tip of a knife and sharp blade, and the slightest mistake will be drenched in blood.
The pain in his heart was so great that he almost suffocated, and Duan Bai Yue used all his strength, almost rubbing the person into pieces and embedding them into his bones.
“Hmm.”
Nan Mo Xie walked back and forth outside, looking at the sky from time to time, sighing in his heart. Even if he seems to be fine now, it is still a pile of medicine and silver needles. If he drags on, if the gold silkworm thread wakes up again, it will be difficult to fool. After thinking about it, he still hardened his heart and went to knock on the door.
“Go back, be careful on the road.” Duan Bai Yue used his thumb to wipe away his tears.
Chu Yuan stood up, wanted to say something, but did not know what he was going to say, heart and life are in front of this man, what else can be done.
Duan Bai Yue smiled, “Good boy.”
Chu Yuan closed his eyes and turned around to stride out the door. When he crossed the threshold, he almost fell over.
“Your Majesty.” Si Xi rushed forward to help him.
Duan Yao sneakily closes the door to the room, lest his brother be discovered vomiting blood again.
“Your Majesty doesn’t need to worry, returning to Xinan is to treat the injury, it’s not for anything else.” Nan Mo Xie said, “It looks serious now, but for those who practice martial arts, who haven’t been injured a few times, right?”
Chu Yuan nodded, “Thank you, senior.”
“Go back.” Nan Mo Xie said, “It’s cold in the mountains, don’t catch a cold.”
Chu Yuan looked back at the closed door of the house for the last time, Si Xi put on a cloak for him and went out of the small courtyard together.
Nan Mo Xie’s whole body was covered with cold sweat, his knees weakened, and he almost sat on the ground.
Acting is really more tiring than killing.
Duan Bai Yue’s condition was not so bad, still leaning on the bed, looking ahead.
Duan Yao pushed open the door.
“Gone?” Duan Bai Yue asked.
“Hmm.” Duan Yao sat beside him, “Do you want some water?”
Duan Bai Yue laughed: “What water in the middle of the night.”
“……” You have to find something else to talk about. Duan Yao said, “Otherwise, I don’t know how long you will have to be miserable.
Nan Mo Xie said at the door, “We’ll leave tomorrow morning.”
Duan Bai Yue said, “Okay.”
Nan Mo Xie took out a few white silkworms from the bottle, which is the rumored white jade cocoon. They can spit out waxy threads that can firmly seal a person, and even if they don’t breathe for a while, they can still last for three to five months.
Duan Bai Yue lay back on the bed.
Duan Yao was lying on the side of the bed, his eyes a little red.
“Why are you crying too?” Duan Bai Yue patted his head, “Can’t you be more auspicious.”
Duan Yao held back his tears.
Duan Bai Yue said, “It’s a blessing to be able to sleep for a hundred days or so.”
Duan Yao, with a strong sobbing voice, said, “Hmm.”
Duan Bai Yue laughed, “If you don’t want to see it, go out and wait.”
“You have to wake up.” Duan Yao urged, “Be sure to wake up.”
Duan Bai Yue nodded.
Nan Mo Xie picked up his little disciple’s collar and threw him out.
Duan Yao squatted in front of the door, staring wide-eyed at the purple toad, wanting to cry but thinking it was unlucky, his whole body was twitching.
Duan Bai Yue said, “Master start.”
Nan Mo Xie sighed and placed the white jade cocoon on him.
Time passes slowly and quickly.
The sun gradually rises to the east, the dewdrops on the grass leaves fall down, splashing a crystal on the ground.
Nan Mo Xie came out from the room.
“Master.” Duan Yao, who had been guarding the room all night, stood up.
“It’s alright.” Nan Mo Xie said, “Prepare the carriage and go back to Xinan Mansion.”
Duan Yao glanced inside the house and saw the humanoid white jade wax seal on the bed, and finally couldn’t help but cry out with a “wow” sound.
It’s one thing to think about it, but when you see your brother like this, you still want to bawl your eyes out.
Nan Mo Xie knew he would react this way and did not advise him. He was a little dizzy from worrying about this matter all night, so he sat down under the corridor to rest. After half an hour, Duan Yao stopped sobbing and asked, “Do you want to eat breakfast?”
Nan Mo Xie said, “I thought you were going to cry until tomorrow.”
Duan Yao wiped his tears, washed himself with cool water, and then went to the kitchen to bring back breakfast. The two of them didn’t want to go to the dining room, so they ate and talked on the stone table in the courtyard. How to crack Fen Xing Chess has yet to be fully learned, even if Duan Yao is gifted, it will still take at least half a month, so this time Nan Mo Xie will first bring Duan Bai Yue back to Xinan, leaving him to continue in the Northbound Palace.
“Just in time, go and accompany His Majesty more.” Nan Mo Xie said, “With you by his side, he will feel more comfortable, just remember one thing, don’t talk nonsense.”
Duan Yao nodded, “Hmm.”
Nan Mo Xie wiped his mouth for him, filled with sorrow.
When he came to Wangcheng, he was so excited and eager to go, but he never expected that he would be in such a sorry state when he went back.
After living for seventy to eighty years, this is the first time he has ever felt so much pain for his disciples. If life for life, he really would like to drill back to the grave no longer come out, honest eyes closed to heaven, only to let these few juniors have a good home.
Eat a simple breakfast, people from Xinan Mansion have been ready to carriage, Nan Mo Xie with Duan Bai Yue all the way out of the mountains, to Xinan galloping away.
“Your Majesty.” Eunuch Sixi said, “Let’s Return.” We’ve been here all night, now that Xinan Wang is gone, how much longer will we be standing there? It’s just an empty mountain road.
Chu Yuan’s shoulders were full of dew, as if he did not hear him, he watched the caravan completely disappear, only then said: “Good.”
Sixi sighed in his heart, the emperor’s eyes, really can’t bear to look at him more than once.
Duan Yao tidied up the room briefly and went back to the palace alone.
The old man was still napping in front of the chess game, and when he heard the door ring, he looked up and said, “You’re back, how’s your brother?”
Duan Yao sat across from him and said, ” Please don’t talk, I’m going to calm down for a while.”
The old man paused for a moment and said, “Good.”
Duan Yao’s eyes were red, and his chest was heaving.
The old man said, “You’re sixteen years old, you shouldn’t cry when things happen.”
Duan Yao choked desperately and corrected himself, “I’m fifteen.”
The old man said, “You can’t cry even if you’re fifteen.”
Duan Yao wiped his tears, “I don’t know if my brother will be lucky or not!
The old man looked at him and shook his head. He took out a handkerchief from his pocket and handed it over.
Looking at the black rag, Duan Yao decided to hold back his tears.
The old man said, “As I said, if you learn this Fen Xing Chess, you may be able to save your brother in the future.”
Duan Yao said, “Hmm.”
“Let’s learn four moves today.” The old man said, “You can leave a few days earlier.”
Duan Yao coughed, “Thank you, senior.”
The old man picked up a chess piece and gently dropped it on the chessboard.
Duan Yao wiped his nose and watched carefully.
There is still a group of ministers guarding outside the Royal Study Room, and Sixi waits for Chu Yuan to change his clothes and wash up, then tries to ask, “Why don’t we just not see them today? Your Majesty rests well.”
“No need.” Chu Yuan said, “I can’t sleep even if I lie down, let’s go.”
“Yes.” Sixi opened the door for him and followed him to the Royal Study Room. At the head of the line is naturally Tao Rende, he has been worried for several days, this time finally saw the emperor, sure he is safe and sound, a heart just fell back into the stomach.
“I only stayed in the Su Huai Mountain Villa for three or four days, why is there so much going on?” Chu Yuan frowned as he sat behind the desk.
“It is the subjects who are worried about the emperor.” Tao Rende said, “This time, after hearing that the emperor has swung back to the palace, that’s why they all wanted to come and greet him.”
“All who came to greet the emperor without any prior notice, retire.” Chu Yuan waved his hand.
Everyone knelt down to receive the decree and the room was half empty.
“Whoever wants to ask about Xinan Mansion can also retire.” Chu Yuan coldly said, “I don’t want to talk about it now.”
The room is half empty again.
Liu Dajiong glanced at Tao Rende, listening to no, the emperor let you stand down.
“…… Yes.” Although Tao Rende said full of doubts, but saw Chu Yuan look different, also recognize the interest did not ask more questions, bowed and left the Royal Study Room.
Liu Dajiong was the only one left in the room.
“Tell me, what is the matter of Liu Aiqing?” Chu Yuan asked.
“It has to do with that Goryeo Princess.” Liu Dajiong said, “The day before yesterday, there was news from the South China Sea, saying that the identity of the person married to Kim Shu has been identified, named Bukun, is the eldest son of a rich family in Bai Xiang Kingdom, the family does tea business, and occasionally sells some of the deep-sea jewelry to come to Da Chu.”
“Bai Xiang Kingdom’s rich family, that is no problem.” Chu Yuan said, “After tossing and turning for so long, this time is also considered to have married a good man.”
“Yes.” Liu Dajiong took the opportunity to say, “The King of Goryeo is also very satisfied with this brother-in-law, and even wants to visit the South Seas.”
Chu Yuan absentmindedly said, “He is free.”
Liu Da Jiong continued to laugh.
Chu Yuan had a headache, “Say what you have to say.”
“Actually, it’s not that important.” Liu Dajiong considered the wording, “only recently this year, Da Chu’s troop deployment, seems to have been biased …… cough, the south, the South China Sea that is even more than three heavy troops guarded. So, King Goryeo would like to ask, but what happened?”
Chu Yuan threw down the folding in his hand, displeased: “What does it have to do with him?”
“Naturally, it has nothing to do with him.” Liu Dajiong hurriedly said, “Just according to the meaning of the King of Goryeo, if there is really something wrong, then he will not go, not only not go himself, but also to pick up his sister back to Goryeo in a hurry, in order to feel at ease -“
“Enough.” Chu Yuan’s brain buzzing with pain, anger rushed out to interrupt, “Let him go to visit relatives, love to go for as long as possible, do not think about some things that have nothing to do with him!”
“Yes.” Liu Dajiong hurriedly bowed his head and led the order, “Your Majesty must not get angry and hurt the dragon’s body, it is the humble servant who should not bother Your Majesty with such trivial matters.”
“Retire.” Chu Yuan rubbed his temples, “I will be quiet alone for a while.”
Liu Da Jiong almost instantly disappeared from the Royal Study Room.
Tao Rende was waiting outside with his sleeves tucked in.
Liu Dajiong waved his hand, signaling him to go far away, the emperor does not look right, or does not want to touch the mold again.
“I said that Su Huai Mountain Village cannot go.” Until walking on the streets of Yunde City, Tao Rende is still complaining, “Since the Emperor ascended to the throne, can the Xinan Mansion of things let him comfortable once? Not to mention the fact that this time Xinan Wang came personally.” It was fortunate that there wasn’t a fight.
“Scared me to death.” Liu Dajiong looked around for a place to burn to quell his fear, “You didn’t see the eyes of the emperor just now, like he wanted to eat someone.”
“I think it’s Xinan Wang again.” Tao Rende is worried, in his mind calculating where to cut this time.
“Earlier the emperor deployed troops, I thought it was to deal with the southwest province.” Liu Da Jiong said, “I did not think that the troops were later pressed in the coastal towns, the other side, but even General Shen could not figure out the intention of the holy, can be really fishy.”
Tao Rende continued to sigh. At the beginning people have also been for this petition a few times, but never asked the reason, but two people almost dismissed. Although the emperor’s political achievements in the past few years are obvious to all, this time the deployment of troops in the south, can really not have a trace of reason.
The sky is getting darker and darker. Duan Yao came out from the remote courtyard but saw Sixi standing guard outside: “Duan Xiao Wangye.”
“What brings you here, Your Excellency?” Duan Yao was surprised.
“His Majesty asked the old slave to guard this place.” Eunuch Sixi said, “The dinner has been prepared and is waiting for Duan Xiao Wangye.”
Duan Yao: “……”
“It’s just the Emperor and Duan Xiao Wangye.” Eunuch Sixi said, and then lowered his voice, “His Majesty hasn’t eaten anything for a day, so I’d like to ask you to give him more advice.”
Duan Yao nodded, “Ok.”
After all, my brother is not here.
He can only coax his sister-in-law to do this kind of errand with himself and Sixi.
