Liancheng was watching the art of war in the post station and inspecting the terrain around Yanmen Pass. Suddenly he heard the sound of rapid footsteps coming from the door, followed by the voice of a soldier, "Your Highness, the princess is back!"
Liancheng was shocked. He immediately put down the military book in his hand and walked out of the room. He looked at the soldiers who came to communicate and asked, "What did you say? The princess is back?"
The soldier immediately said respectfully: "The princess has been sent back by the imperial court and has now entered the city gate!"
Lian Cheng was overjoyed, closed the door and walked out of the inn, rushing towards the city gate. Before he could reach the city gate, he saw three horses rushing towards the inn. "Come, prepare for the princess immediately."
Soup bath!”
"Yes, Your Highness," the soldier responded and retreated.
Lianyue and Mu Wanting saw Liancheng in a sky-blue brocade robe from a distance, standing in front of the inn door to greet them.
Mu Wanting looked at the figure in front of her, with a look of joy in her eyes. Finally, she was about to see him.
She had imagined countless scenarios of meeting Liancheng, but she never imagined that they would be in this situation when they met.
When she didn't see him, she missed him so much that she almost went crazy. When she saw him, she was so excited and nervous that she prepared a lot of things she wanted to say to him, but she forgot them all, and her mind went blank.
Seeing that figure getting closer and closer, she didn't know how to speak to him.
"Lian Yue, are you okay?" Liancheng Jian rushed forward to Lian Yue's horse, stretched out his hand to pull her off the horse, looked at her and said, "Brother, I'm sorry for you. Brother, I couldn't go in time."
Saving you will definitely make you suffer a lot!"
Lianyue got off the horse, raised his eyes to look at Liancheng, and sneered: "Brother, do you really want to save me?"
Liancheng was stunned. Seeing the sneer on Lian Yue's face, he felt a sense of self-blame in his heart, "You are the emperor's most beloved sister, why wouldn't the emperor not want to save you?"
Seeing Liancheng's face full of self-blame, Lianyue pulled his sleeve and said with a smile: "Brother Huang, don't blame yourself. Sister Huang has no intention of blaming Brother Huang!"
Liancheng frowned, reached out and caressed Lianyue's thin face, put his arm around her shoulders, and walked towards the inn, "Seeing that you are soaked all over, I have ordered someone to prepare a bath for you, take a good soak."
Take a bath and don’t get cold!”
Lian Yue nodded, turned around and looked at Mu Wanting who was riding on the horse, and said: "Hurry up and follow me so that you can serve this princess!"
Mu Wanting did not speak, but just nodded. Seeing Lian Yue turning around to talk to the man on the horse, Lian Cheng also glanced at the man on the horse.
It's just that Mu Wanting happened to lower her head and couldn't see her appearance.
When Mu Wanting raised her head, Liancheng had already left with Lianyue.
She stared blankly at Liancheng's figure for a while, then got off the horse and entered the inn with Xi'er.
"Brother Imperial, the Imperial Sister came back this time and brought you a gift. I'm sure you'll like it!" Lianyue said to Liancheng as she walked towards the inn.
"The fact that you can come back safely is the greatest gift to the emperor!" Liancheng touched Lian Yue's wet head, looked at the room prepared for Lian Yue, and said: "Wash yourself well, and the emperor will prepare some for you.
food!"
"Yes," Lian Yue smiled faintly, "Thank you, my dear brother!"
Seeing Lianyue enter the room, Liancheng walked towards his room, but after taking only two steps, he stopped, turned around and looked at Mu Wanting, who was wearing a bamboo hat with her head lowered, and asked Xi'er, "Who is she?"
Who is it? Aren’t you the only girl who accompanied the princess to the dynasty?"
Xi'er glanced at Mu Wanting, then at Liancheng, opened her mouth, and just as she was about to say something, Lian Yue's room suddenly opened, "Brother Huang, she is my friend!"
Lian Yue said, pulling Mu Wanting into the room, looking at Xi'er, and said, "Why don't you come in and wait on me!"
Xi'er nodded hurriedly, "Yes, princess!"
Seeing Lian Yue's uncertain expression, Lian Cheng frowned, where did Lian Yue have friends?
Just when he was about to knock on the door and ask for details, Lianyue's voice came from the room again, "Brother Emperor, I'm hungry, please ask someone to prepare more food!"
"Okay, okay." He took back his hand to knock on the door and turned to leave.
Hearing the footsteps leaving outside the room, Lianyue walked to Mu Wanting and said: "Take off the wet clothes quickly, take a good bath, dress up, and then go see him!"
"Thank you, princess." Mu Wanting took off the hat on her head, took off her wet clothes, lay down in the tub and took a good bath.
An hour later, a soldier's voice came from outside the door, "Your Highness, the meal has been prepared. Please go to the room of Your Highness the Crown Prince for dinner!"
After Lianyue had dressed up and changed clothes, he took Mu Wanting and told the soldiers: "I will be here shortly. You can arrange a room for this girl next to His Royal Highness's room and send her some food. For the time being,
Don’t let His Highness the Crown Prince know.”
"Yes, princess." The soldier looked at Mu Wanting and said respectfully: "Girl, please!"
"Thank you, Princess." Mu Wanting thanked Lianyue and left with the soldiers.
Lianyue walked towards the room where Liancheng was.
"Come and sit down, I've prepared your favorite meal!" Seeing Lianyue coming, Liancheng stepped forward and pulled her to sit on the stool, "I haven't seen you for several months, and you've become so thin.
, I’ve made you suffer, hurry up, eat more!”
Lian Yue looked at the dishes in front of her. Every dish was her favorite. She couldn't help but feel warm in her heart. She looked at Liancheng and said with a smile, "Thank you, brother emperor!"
Liancheng looked at Lianyue distressedly and reached out to touch her head, feeling full of self-blame.
These past few months must have been very difficult, even Long Chen didn't give her any hardship.
She must have felt extremely sad knowing that her father had sacrificed her for the sake of the country.
"Brother Imperial, is there anyone you most want to see?" Lianyue took a few bites of food, looked at Liancheng and asked, "If, I mean, if, you go to the battlefield and unfortunately bleed and die, do you have someone you most want to see?
people?"
Liancheng frowned, looked at her with lowered eyes, and said with a smile, "Why do you suddenly ask about this?"
If there was anyone he wanted to see the most right now, it was her, the woman who made him worried.
However, it is impossible for them to be together after all.
If the two countries don't go to war, he can still propose marriage to her.
But now, he can't even meet her, so how can he marry her.
"Someone told me that the last thing in a person's life is regret." Lianyue put down her bowls and chopsticks, looked at Liancheng and said seriously: "She said that in order not to leave regrets, she would not hesitate to lose her life.
You have to accomplish what you want in your heart. Brother Emperor, is there anything you regret not doing in your life, or something you want to do, such as meeting someone or doing something?"
"Regret?" Liancheng touched Lianyue's head, sighed, and said with a sad look on his face: "I once made a promise to a girl, and I would marry her after I returned to China to deal with the matter. But now, this promise
It can’t be realized! Isn’t this a pity!”
"Brother Emperor, who is that girl you are talking about?" Lian Yue rarely saw Liancheng being worried about a girl, with a sad look on his face, "Brother Emperor, do you like that girl?"
