At this time, Yuhan and others also climbed out of the well one by one. Yuhan quickly rushed to her master's side and looked at Murong Shen with eyes full of wariness and disgust.
Murong Shen looked at it as if he hadn't seen it.
He stared at Zhao Xiyan closely and said slowly: "We all retreat to the east. He asked to be alone with Xiyan for a while."
Before they could react, Xu San's expression changed suddenly and he rushed over to fight Murong Shen desperately.
"Xu San," Zhao Xiyan said softly to stop the furious Xu San: "I'm going to the front yard. Hosta, I'm going too."
Xu San had to obey the order, and before leaving, he gave Murong Shen a hard look.
The hosta refused to leave and hurriedly whispered: "How can the young lady be alone with him? Why don't I leave something here for you!"
Zhao Xiyan said calmly: "He stayed in that house for so long, does he care about that moment?"
The hosta was speechless and had to retreat to the east.
The private guards beside Murong Shen walked faster. In an instant, they disappeared.
In the small backyard, only Zhao Xiyan and Murong Shen were left.
The weather was a little hot and the sun was blazing. Zhao Xiyan had just come out of the secret room, her clothes and hair were a little messy. But her expression was unusually calm, without any embarrassment.
Murong Shen looked at Zhao Xiyan steadily for a long time, and suddenly twitched his lips in a self-deprecating tone: "I didn't expect that they would meet again after such a long time."
Zhao Xiyan looked indifferent: "He has been 'sick' for so long and has not shown up. There must be a lot of rumors outside. Perhaps, they have reached Xu Jing's ears. My goal has been achieved, so I should be proud. Now I show
Then who can show such a negative face?"
Murong Shen: "..."
He never thought that Zhao Xiyan would speak so harshly to her.
"What? Are you hurt by just a few words?"
Zhao Xiyan sneered, and dark flames flashed in her black eyes. During those months, she was either anxious or angry. She did not want to show her emotions, and she kept it to herself.
At this moment, she no longer had any worries or thoughts of restraint, and her words were like sharp arrows: "Murong Shen, don't show that affectionate look, it will make him feel sick."
"In the past, he would occasionally feel guilty that he had wronged me. Now, he doesn't want to see me again at all."
"I am arrogant and self-righteous, and I am determined to have my own way, which is disgusting."
"He is not a bird in a cage, he is a living person. He has his own dignity and pride, a boy he likes, and a life he longs for. Why should I think that he is imprisoned there? What kind of affection can I have for him?
"
The hatred revealed in Zhao Xiyan's eyes was like a sharp arrow piercing Murong Shen's chest.
Murong Shen didn't even notice that he took a step back: "Xi Yan! He didn't mean to hurt me."
Zhao Xiyan smiled coldly: "Don't I think it's ridiculous to say that now?"
"I took his best friend by mistake, forced him to come here, and put him under house arrest. Which of the things I did didn't hurt him?"
"Is it because I didn't take him by force that he should be grateful to me?"
Murong Shen: "..."
Murong Shen's eyes flashed with intense pain. But, he was determined and would never be defeated by a few words. He took a deep breath and whispered: "I have been ill for so long, and it is really time to return to the Zhao Mansion.
.When he comes in the bright moon, will you say goodbye to me? He will go to Jizhou on the emperor's order to welcome the crown prince back to the capital."
Zhao Xiyan's brows did not move, and her voice was as cold as ice: "Murong Shen, from now on, when we see him again, we will not be enemies."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Murong Shen said nothing and stood there, watching Zhao Xiyan's figure go away.
…
Hosta caught a glimpse of her master and immediately rushed over with red eyes.
"He's fine." Zhao Xiyan softly comforted Yuhan, then raised her head and said to Xu San and others, "They're leaving now."
Xu San was immersed in the great joy of finding his future mistress, and Dong consciously asked: "Where are you going?"
Before Zhai Lue Xiyan could say anything, she patted her forehead hard: "Young Nabu is so happy and confused, so naturally he wants to go back to the Zhao Mansion."
Zhao Xiyan said, "No, go to the farm first."
She begged to do a complete show. Bu Shen and the others believed it or not, but she begged to come out of the farm with great fanfare and choose an auspicious month to return to the Zhao Mansion.
Only then did Xu San react and immediately responded to Dong: "No, I will make arrangements immediately."
Several houses in Calabash Alley had their doors tightly locked, and several naughty and restless children were also at home. No one could even peek out through the cracks in the doors.
I don't know where Xu San got a carriage. Zhao Xiyan left the house and got into the carriage. Soon, the carriage set off and left.
From beginning to end, Murong Shen never showed up again.
Along the way, a group of soldiers were extremely cautious, and there were more than a hundred people escorting him.
After leaving the city gate, Zhao Xiyan's tense nerves were slightly relieved. When she turned her head, she saw that Hosta had fallen asleep against the wall of the carriage.
During those confinement days, Hosta couldn't eat or sleep well, and she lost weight. Now she fell into a deep sleep, with two green shadows in the east of her eyes.
Zhao Xiyan felt distressed and funny at the same time. She didn't make any noise and fell asleep leaning against the carriage.
The official road outside the city gate is wide and flat, and the carriages travel quickly and smoothly.
When I woke up, it was already dark.
The carriage still moved forward smoothly.
Zhao Xiyan lifted the car curtain: "Xu San, it's not suitable to travel in the dark. Find a posthouse to rest for the night before paying for it!"
The Zhao family's farm is on the outskirts of the capital. It takes two or three months to travel. No matter how anxious you are, you can't pay for it overnight.
Xu San took the order in a low voice and sent someone to quickly go to the post house in front to make arrangements.
Three months later, Zhao Xiyan arrived at the farm.
Haitang rushed over and hugged her master, her eyes swollen like peaches from crying. The little maids Jinzhan and Yingcao fought over Haitang, each pulling on Zhao Xiyan's sleeves and crying non-stop.
Coachman Li Erhe also wiped away tears.
None of them came to the farm to serve their master while he was recovering from his illness.
Looking at the familiar faces, Zhao Xiyan felt sour in her heart, and said softly: "Don't cry. His illness has been cured, and they will go back in two months."
Everyone was very excited, and she was also a little tired, so she always wanted to rest for a few months before setting off.
After settling in Donglai, Zhao Xiyan called Xu San over and asked him about those few months in detail.
Xu San answered one by one: "... I followed the girl's instructions and told Minister Zhao. None of the county princes knew about it. On the prince's side, I have also been hiding Dong Lai."
"More than half a month ago, the prince sent someone back to deliver a letter, insisting that he must hand it over to the girl in person. I really wanted to keep it secret, so I wrote the letter and told the truth."
"After the Crown Prince received the letter, he left some people to act as a front and sent back all the available human legs. Only with enough human legs can the young man find the girl so quickly."
Mentioning Xu Jing, Zhao Xiyan's heart seemed to be clenched tightly, with a hint of ambiguity in the sweetness.
