Su Muer glanced at him, breathed a sigh of relief and said:
"Ye Shihan is sorry. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have fallen out with the emperor. If it hadn't been for you, you wouldn't have left the capital, and you wouldn't have never seen your mother and concubine for the last time. I'm sorry."
"It's not your fault."
He directly interrupted her, "I did all this willingly. I am still the one who should really say I'm sorry. I'm the one who's sorry for you all these years. But this time, I have to go back. Others say that people die after death."
In three years, she will lose her soul and be reincarnated as a human being. If I don't go and offer incense to her, I will have no chance in the future."
"You can go back, but you have to promise not to do anything stupid, especially not to do anything that goes against the emperor."
Ye Shihan was silent for a while and nodded slightly, "I know that the death of my mother-in-law has always been a knot in my heart. I have to go back and investigate clearly. Otherwise, with her physical condition, she would not have left so quickly."
Speaking of this, he suddenly choked up.
Su Muer knew that he felt ashamed of his mother and concubine, so he felt sad when he thought about it.
Seeing that he was in a low mood and pondered for a long time, she said:
"In that case, I will accompany you back."
Ye Shihan looked up at her in surprise, but he still refused.
"No, just take good care of this place. We can't live without you here. If things go well, I will be back soon."
"I'll drop by the capital to find out what's going on there."
After all, she still didn't say that she didn't trust him. In fact, she was worried that something might happen to him on impulse. The only person in the world who could stop him from doing anything was Su Mu'er.
He glanced at her and then nodded, "Okay, then I'll go make some arrangements at home, and you can also make arrangements at home. We'll be on our way in three days."
After deciding, the two of them split up.
Su Mu'er used these three days to quickly draw several sketches and told the craftsmen to make iron according to the sketches. Uncle Wu looked at the sketches with doubts on his face.
"Girl, what is this? Why does it look weird?"
Su Muer spread the picture in front of him, pointed at it, and introduced him one by one.
"This is the prototype of a cannonball. Its power is extraordinary. It can withstand thousands of enemy troops. As long as we make more of these cannonballs, when the enemy comes, or when we prepare to attack the city, then
It will be foolproof.”
After listening to her introduction, Uncle Wu suddenly became excited,
"This is really great. If not, girl, you are well-informed. Where have we seen this thing before? With this thing, how much manpower is saved, we worry about not being able to defend Linhai City."
"We need to make a few more of this thing to ensure that it is foolproof. During these days when I am gone, Uncle Wu, you must pay attention to every step. Every time you make a cannonball, you must test it according to the instructions I gave.
"
Uncle Wu just waved his arms and patted his chest to guarantee the vote.
"Don't worry, I can do this well. You can accompany Ye Shihan to the capital with peace of mind. But you have to be careful. I think this emperor is probably crazy. Now he not only looks at you like a rebel, but he may also look at Ye Shihan.
That’s it.”
Su Muer nodded heavily, "I know, I will be careful. You have to take good care of this at home, as well as the salt we dried. We must pay attention to the quality, and never pass it off as good."
After saying this, she suddenly thought of something and said:
"Also, give me a few portions of dried sea cucumbers. It's not easy to go back to the capital. I have some old friends, so I should give you some gifts."
Speaking of old friends, she thought of Bai Chen, Shi Ziqiang, and Mr. Zeng and Mrs. Zeng. These people were all people who had helped her. Once they met here, they might never have the chance to see them again in this life.
Uncle Wu responded and went to prepare, and she came alone to the training camp that Ye Shihan had circled alone.
The people here are all carefully selected by him, and they are all very strong. Even if they don't have Kung Fu, they are more than enough to defeat three or five normal people.
Seeing him carefully teaching these people every move, she felt indescribable gratitude in her heart.
Ye Shihan changed and became calmer. Compared with before, he seemed to be a different person.
This man had been guarding her for so many years. She shouldn't have let him be lonely like this anymore. Maybe he was lonely in his heart, otherwise why he never showed a smile after his mother and concubine passed away.
There may have been a knot in his heart. He had always had doubts about the death of his mother and concubine. He hoped that when they went to Beijing this time, they could find out the truth and allow him to open up his heart.
Three days later, each of them mounted a horse and prepared to hit the road.
Doudou and everyone reluctantly came to see them off.
"Dad, you have to take good care of mother."
Ye Shihan nodded heavily, "I know, don't worry."
Doudou said to Su Muer again:
"Mom, you also have to take good care of daddy. You guys have to take care of each other, you know?"
Looking at Doudou, who already looked like an adult, Su Muer smiled knowingly,
"I understand, you have to assist Grandpa Wu well at home, you know? Making weapons is no small matter. There are also Biaozi, Liu Hai, and Yuanyuan. You all have a heavy burden on you. You must not be careless."
Liu Hai looked at Ye Shihan and asked with a troubled expression:
"Master, do you really not need me to accompany you?"
"No, just the two of us. It's inconvenient to travel with many people. Besides, there are many people who know you in the capital, so it's inconvenient to travel."
Liu Hai felt that the young master's words made sense, so he said no more.
The two were soon on the road, riding horses on the wide official road. Neither of them spoke a word, but allowed the horses to gallop and the wind to blow on their faces.
Along the way, when staying at the inn at night, Ye Shihan would not ask to share a room with her, but would take the initiative to ask for two rooms. He was deliberately keeping a distance from her, and she vaguely felt that he must go
Whatever you do, you don’t want to hurt yourself.
At night, she couldn't help but knock on his door.
When she pushed the door open, she saw him sitting on the window sill, quietly looking at the night outside.
"What's wrong? I see you are not in a good mood all the way?"
Ye Shihan's eyes did not leave the dark night, and he murmured:
"No, I'm in a good mood."
"What are you thinking about?"
"No."
He still refused to admit it, "Mu'er, I didn't think about anything. I just felt that the world was in a cold state, and I felt a little sad."
"Are you thinking about the death of your mother-in-law?"
Ye Shihan finally couldn't help but nodded,
"Yes, I have been thinking in the past few years, why did my mother-in-law die suddenly? What happened before she died? The Queen Mother died a year earlier than my mother-in-law. In the harem, without the protection of the Queen Mother, she
How difficult is life? Will the emperor really treat her like his aunt? Or will he blame my mother and concubine because of me?"
From his words, she felt his helplessness.
She took two steps forward and patted him gently on the shoulder.
"Ye Shihan, everything will be solved and everything will be answered. During this period, why do you bother to keep this matter in mind every day? You will cast a shadow on your heart, don't you feel tired?
?”
He suddenly pulled the corner of his mouth and smiled bitterly, "Tired? I regret it now. I shouldn't have said such hateful words to my mother and concubine. I shouldn't have acted willfully. I should have gone back to see her earlier, so she wouldn't have
I will end up regretting it, and I will not regret it for the rest of my life."
At this point, he suddenly looked back at her, his voice became more choked,
"I feel like I have no relatives in this world except you and Doudou. Mu'er, am I a homeless child?"
Looking at him, his face lost the resolute look of a grown man, and he looked like an aggrieved child. Su Muer quickly shook her head,
"No, Doudou is your son. Wherever he is, your home will be there. Don't always think about these unhappy things."
Ye Shihan looked at her blankly and said nothing in the end.
She stood under the window and he sat on the windowsill. The two of them just looked at the night sky outside quietly and looked at the stars in the sky.
"Mu'er, others say that deceased relatives will turn into stars in the sky and light up the path of relatives who are still alive. Then where is my mother-in-law? Which one is she? Can she see me?"
Su Muer looked up at the sky, feeling a little sad.
"If that's the case, among these stars, there are more relatives of my Su family. I also want to find them and let them see me. The regret I feel for them in my heart is no less or even more than you feel for your mother and concubine, but
I still have to live strong. If I become decadent and don't live well, they will be sad when they see me in heaven."
"You are right, you are indeed a strong woman and a different woman."
"Do you know why I'm different?"
Ye Shihan shook his head, "I don't know, sometimes I really feel like you are like an angel. You always come up with different ideas, say different words, and do different things, but I can't figure out why.
, I have been unable to figure it out since you brought Doudou back to the capital."
Su Muer looked at him and smiled softly,
"Do you still remember the scene when you kicked Su Mu'er out of bed and she hit her head on the corner of the table?"
Hearing this, Ye Shihan hurriedly turned back to look at her, pursed his lips,
"Mu'er, I'm sorry. I really didn't expect you to do such a thing that time. I'm sorry, it was my fault."
"No need to say sorry to me, that person is not me at all."
Her words made him look at her blankly,
"What are you talking about? Mu'er, what's wrong with you?"
Su Mu'er still smiled lightly, "Actually, I am not from this world. My world was thousands of years away from here. It was just an accident, and I came to this body."
