The emperor wanted to object, but when he thought of the words of Grand Princess Yi De, and then thought of what the empress had done for him, a sense of desolation flashed through his heart.
The Imperial Family wasn"t as bright and beautiful as they were outside. Many things were out of the ordinary when compared to the love between Yue Yang and Mu Yunyao. The reason he didn"t agree to this was more for the sake of his two children"s future considerations. Seeing his expression waver, Yi De, the Grand Princess, didn"t say anything more. "Words cannot be wasted. The reason why she chose to come here at this time is because …"
He had guessed that the Emperor was most concerned about King Yue and felt the deepest guilt towards him. He then thought of Queen Wei Rou who had pa.s.sed away. After all these factors, the Emperor must have …
He would definitely choose to compromise.
"Big Sis, Yunyao is a girl. Will there be any danger if we go to Riverside City?" I gave her the gold medal from the Emperor, and also sent a lot of people to follow her. Yunyao knows about medicine and has ways to protect herself, she insisted on going, but I couldn"t stop her even if I wanted to, so I just let her go. " Grand Princess Yi De"s smile was somewhat helpless. "Yao"er and w.a.n.g Yue have very similar personalities.
One"s previous experiences were quite b.u.mpy, one would not easily fall in love, once it was true, it was easy to fall in love. As elders, we can only try our best to tolerate them. " Thinking of the t.i.tan"s personality, the Emperor felt the same way, "Royal Sis, Yun Yao is still young, so there"s no rush right now. We might as well wait and see, if their relationship is unstable, they would split up even without us trying to break them up. If they are truly unyielding, we will stop them!]
"I can"t stop them either."
The two of them owed their seniors something to live on, or had a relationship before they found out about their true relationship, so they really couldn"t find a reason to oppose it. The Grand Princess Yi De nodded, being able to say these words showed that the Emperor already had a compromise, the rest would be up to Yue Yang and Yun Yao, "The Emperor has thought about it, if their relationship is unstable, then if we try to break them up, it will make them resist, and they will insist on going together.
"Arise."
"Yeah, we"ll see about that later." Thinking of Yunyao"s weak and delicate appearance, the Emperor"s impression of her became even better. As a weak girl, after knowing that her lover was in trouble, she could stand up for him. No matter how much help he could provide, this friendship was already very rare.
On the other side, Mu Yunyao rode the fast boat and stopped at Tongling City.
"Miss, the water in front of us has already been sealed. Ships are not allowed to pa.s.s, so we can only change to carriages."
"How far is this place from Riverside City?"
"If you are fast, you need three days. If you are riding a carriage, it will take six days. This depends on whether the road is clear or not. If the river water destroys the road, it will take even longer."
Si Jiu brought a water bag over and said, "Miss, let"s drink some water."
Mu Yunyao took a few sips before pa.s.sing the water bag back. "Si Shu, prepare the horses. We"ll ride our horses towards Riverside City."
"Miss, you are not good at riding horses …" The young mistress" body was weak. How could she withstand this?
"I can give it a try. If it really doesn"t work, you and Si Qin can take turns to bring me." It"s decided then. Quickly go down and prepare. " Mu Yunyao"s expression was calm, but she sat up straight, like a taut string.
"Yes, miss."
The horses were quickly prepared, and Si Qin and the other three protected Mu Yunyao in the middle. After finding out that she was fine riding alone, they gradually relaxed.
The closer they got to Riverside City, the more refugees they encountered. Every one of them had a messy figure, exhausted and desperate. When they saw a pa.s.serby with slightly better clothes, they would come forward and beg for mercy.
Mu Yunyao and the others had a special path to use, so they quickly headed towards Riverside City. Although they didn"t encounter too many troubles, the miserable scenes that played out in front of them caused them to feel a sense of desolation from the bottom of their hearts.
The sky was completely dark, so Mu Yunyao and the others temporarily settled down in the inn.
Si Qin and Si Que stepped forward to help Mu Yunyao off the horse. They felt her steps stagger and couldn"t help but be worried. "Miss, are you alright?"
"It"s fine, my legs are hurting. I"ll apply some ointment to them later."
After Si Wen Ming prepared to come to the water, Mu Yunyao wanted to take a simple bath. When her hand entered the water, she felt waves of piercing pain. When she looked closely under the candlelight, her palm was scratched by the reins.
After using warm water to wash her hands, Mu Yunyao stiffly sat on the bed. She carefully applied medicine to the abrasions on her fingers and legs. After she was done with it, her forehead was already covered in cold sweat from the pain.
Si Qin carried some food over. Seeing Mu Yunyao struggling to straighten her clothes, he hurriedly stepped forward to help, "Miss, if you have anything to do, please instruct us."
Mu Yunyao borrowed Si Qin"s hand to walk to the table and sit down, "All of you have been working extremely hard. I"ve only suffered a few small injuries. It"s fine, but do you have any news?"
Si Qin took out the letter that was placed under the tray: "Please have a look, Miss."
After reading the contents of the letter, Mu Yunyao"s expression became even more unsightly. Riverside City was severely affected, and countless commoners died, but she was unable to find any news about the t.i.tan …
Seeing her expression, Si Qin knew that there was still no good news, "Miss, Prince Fu, your majesty will definitely be fine."
Mu Yunyao took a deep breath and destroyed the letter under the light of the candle. She picked up the rice porridge Si Qin had prepared and started eating, "I also believe that Fourth Master will be fine." She needed to restore her strength before she could make it to Riverside City.
After a few days of riding, her appet.i.te was extremely poor. As she rode, she felt waves of pain in her stomach. After barely being able to eat sixty percent full, he was no longer able to eat anymore.
"Miss, your appet.i.te is too bad. If this goes on, we won"t be able to do anything. Miss, what do you want to eat? This servant will ask someone to prepare some food for you now."
"Since we"re out, it"s inconvenient to do all sorts of things. I just need to eat a few simple meals. You guys should hurry and rest. Tomorrow morning, we still need to continue on our journey."
Si Qin couldn"t do it, she thought to prepare more delicious food in the morning and helped Mu Yunyao inspect the bed before closing the door and leaving.
She was obviously very tired, but Mu Yunyao didn"t feel sleepy at all as she laid on the bed. In the latter half of the night, just as he was falling asleep, he suddenly heard a sound coming from the door. She opened her eyes abruptly and fished under the pillow for the dagger w.a.n.g had given her. Her body tensed.
"Miss, it"s your subordinate, six taels." A figure entered through the window, his clear voice pleasant to the ear in the night.
Mu Yunyao"s heart relaxed, but a hint of pleasant surprise flashed in her eyes, "Six liang, why are you here?" He walked to the side of the table and lit a candle flame before bowing towards Mu Yunyao, who was wearing a gown, "Not long after your subordinate arrived at Tomb City, a dam burst in Riverside City. I went to Riverside City to look for Your Highness King, but I couldn"t find anyone in the entire city.
"..."
As he spoke, he took out a bag embroidered with a treasure pattern from his sleeve. Mu Yunyao suddenly widened her eyes as the dagger in her hand clanged against the ground. "You said that it was found in the cellar?"
