Chapter 226 226: Dealing with the aftermath of divorce
"why are not you sleeping?"
Yun Chenan held her in his arms, caressing her little face, with love in his eyes.
During this time she became more and more haggard.
"I'm worried about you and can't sleep." Smelling the smell of blood on his body, Wen Nianruan was frightened: "Are you injured?!"
"No problem, just a little injury."
In order not to worry her, Yun Chenan did not dare to say how serious his injuries were.
Wen Nianruan raised his head: "How is the matter?"
"Yu Peng is dead, and all the people he led were killed. The Yaori family will let the emperor take over in the future."
Wen Nianruan's tense nerves finally relaxed. As long as Yu Peng, the biggest hidden danger, was eliminated, she would feel more at ease.
Yun Chenan kissed Wen Nianruan's forehead: "Ruanruan, everything in the palace has been settled now, and we will leave the palace soon."
Wen Nianruan was worried: "Where is Xiao Jinran?"
She was afraid that Xiao Jinran would not let Yun Chenan leave.
Yun Chenan gently brushed her dark hair: "Don't worry, if I want to leave, the emperor will not be able to keep me."
On the city wall, Xiao Jinran stood with his hands behind his hands, looking down, where the guards were cleaning up the battlefield just now.
He raised his eyes and looked into the distance. The endless night was darkening in his eyes, and there was a hint of loneliness and loneliness in his eyes.
Now that he has settled down, something is suddenly missing from his heart.
In the past, he was busy with government affairs every day, fighting openly and secretly with the Queen Mother, and guarding against Yu Hanyao's assassination. He had no time to think about other things.
Now that everything has been resolved, my heart feels empty.
Hearing footsteps behind him, he knew who it was without turning around.
Xiao Jinran looked at the endless black night in the distance, his eyes darkened: "When I was very young, my father told me that in this high position, you have to be able to endure loneliness, and you have to get used to not being able to control yourself.
I didn’t understand it when I was a child, and it wasn’t until I sat on that dragon chair that I fully understood it.”
"Yeah, it's as high as cold."
Yun Chenan stood beside him, looking at the night in the distance with him.
The only person who can stand side by side with the emperor is Yun Chenan, the Imperial Master.
"Your Majesty, do you still remember what I said back then? I will leave the palace when everything in the palace settles down."
Xiao Jinran tightened his palms behind his back, pursed his thin lips, and spoke after a moment: "Zishu, you know that I really don't want you to leave, but I also know that I can't keep you."
They have known each other for so many years and know each other well.
Yun Chenan chuckled: "So, your Majesty, just let me go."
"When do you want to leave?"
"On the day of the Queen's Ceremony."
Xiao Jinran tightened his palms, remembering that on the day of the conferment ceremony, there was another woman who was leaving.
He raised the corners of his lips and smiled slightly: "I chose to leave on that day no matter what."
Yun Chenan casually smiled and said: "Maybe that day was a good day."
The Queen's Conferment Ceremony is indeed an auspicious day.
The next day, Yun Chenan returned to Prince Rongning's Mansion.
Ever since he went to Shengyin Temple when he was a child, he would join the palace as a national advisor as soon as he returned to the imperial capital. He rarely went back to Prince Rongning's Mansion, always in Yueyao Palace, and only Xiao Yi would go back to Prince Rongning's Mansion.
Nowadays, the palace is much peaceful. Ever since Xu Wenzhen was taught a lesson by Xiao Yi, he has been mentally disturbed and has stayed in his room all day without coming out.
The eldest young master Xiao Tinghe is in charge of all matters in the house.
Although Xiao Tinghe likes poetry, poetry, and drinking tea and chatting with a group of book friends, he must learn to take on this responsibility after no one is in charge of the palace.
Logically speaking, Xiao Yi, the prince, should be in charge of the affairs of the palace. After all, he will be the prince of the palace in the future. But with Xiao Yi's temperament, how could he care more about these things.
There was only Wen Nianruan in his heart.
The second young master in the house, Xiao Tingjiang, only likes to eat, drink and have fun, but he is not that talented, so this burden can only fall on Xiao Tinghe.
Yun Chenan went directly to Sijin Pavilion, which was the residence of Rongning King Xiao Xu.
Yun Chenan smiled warmly: "Brother, you don't have to be polite."
Xiao Tinghe asked: "Are you going?"
"Look for the father."
Xiao Tinghe nodded, asked no more questions, and made way for Yun Chenan: "Please."
Yun Chenan raised his eyes slightly: "From now on, this palace will be guarded by my eldest brother."
Xiao Tinghe shook his head and said with a smile: "This palace will belong to Ling Zhao in the future, I will just help him take care of it for a while first."
He has no interest in the throne.
Yun Chenan shook his head and said with a smile: "If Xiao Yizhi is not here, he will not take over the palace."
Xiao Tinghe wanted to say something else, but Yun Chenan had already walked away.
Xiao Tinghe frowned a little worried, he was afraid that he could not manage the palace well.
When he arrived at Sijin Pavilion, Yun Chenan opened the door and what he saw was a portrait hanging in the entrance hall. The woman in the painting was his mother, Yun Luojin.
This painting was painted by Xiao Xu himself, and it depicts Yun Luojin's charm vividly. Yun Chenan's eyebrows and eyes are very similar to hers.
Yun Chenan's good looks were all inherited from Yun Luojin, and Xiao Xixi was also very similar to her.
Xiao Xu walked out of the inner room and saw Yun Chenan stunned, and sighed: "You haven't been here for a long time."
"I'm afraid it will disturb you and mother," Yun Chenan said with a smile.
Sijin Pavilion is the place where Yun Luojin lived during her lifetime. After her death, Xiao Xu has been staying here, guarding her memorial tablet and guarding every bit of their past.
Yun Chen'an said: "I have something to do with my father today."
Xiao Xu was not surprised. He knew that Yun Chenan would not come to him if nothing happened.
He smiled: "You said that if a father can help, he will do his best."
Although Yun Chenan is not his biological son, he has always treated Yun Chenan as his own, including Xiao Yi.
Yun Chen'an said: "Father, please take back Xiao Yi's position as the heir apparent and give it to your eldest brother."
Xiao Xu was stunned: "Why?"
"Because Xiao Yi is leaving."
Xiao Xu condensed his expression: "Are you going back to Jin'er's hometown?"
"Um."
"how about you?"
"I'll go too."
Xiao Xu fell silent.
When Yun Luojin was still alive, she told him that she was not from Xiliang, but came from a very mysterious and distant place. She did not elaborate, and Xiao Xu didn't ask much.
Yun Luojin told him that Yun Chenan and Xiao Yi would return to her hometown one day and told him that there was no need to keep them because they belonged there.
Now that this day has come, Xiao Xu has mixed feelings in his heart, the most important thing is he is reluctant to give up.
After a moment, the corner of his mouth trembled slightly and he smiled: "You and Xiao Yi must remember to come back and see me as your father."
Yun Chenan smiled: "Yes."
Over the years, Xiao Xu has never known that Yun Chenan and Xiao Yi are the same person. Yun Luojin concealed it very well back then. She didn't want to tell Xiao Xu about it. Maybe she was afraid that Yun Chenan would scare him, or maybe
Afraid of worrying him.
Yun Chenan never thought of telling Xiao Xu about this matter, so it was better not to talk about it.
After pondering for a moment, Yun Chenan said again: "Xixi will also come back with us."
Feng Jinyan will return to God's Realm, and Xixi will definitely follow him.
Xiao Xu didn't say anything, he just said "Okay."
He knew that Xiao Xixi had grown up with Yun Chenan, and if he left, Xiao Xixi would not stay here.
The children have grown up, and all his father can do is let go.
