Xu Yun didn't seem to notice it, but his figure was invisibly straightened up - everyone in the Xu family had a good frame, tall and straight. And he was not a married man like his eldest brother, who was over 10 years old.
At thirty you lose your human appearance and cannot be seen at all.
Or maybe it's because he hasn't been exposed to the sun and wind all year round. After a little tidying up, this face can still be called young and handsome... When I was shaving last night, I looked in the mirror for a long time, and it seemed that I still looked pretty.
Pretty satisfied.
Look, the other person’s eyes were indeed attracted by his tall and straight back, right?
With the ancestral self-confidence of the old Xu family, Xu Yun, who thought he was still somewhat pretty, was still a little nervous in his heart.
As everyone knows, it was Wu Jingying who abandoned him back then——
And the current trend is like a drama where the ex-husband leaves without saying goodbye, and the woman who is waiting infatuatedly tries to use her beauty to win back her ruthless ex-husband...
Xu Yun was quite dissatisfied with this, but there was nothing he could do about it.
The Queen walked slowly and stopped three steps behind him.
"Mr. Xu." She said, with a faint smile in her tone.
Hearing the words "Mr. Xu", the pretentious look of leisure on Xu Yun's face immediately dissipated.
The light in his eyes dimmed in an instant.
He turned around and his tone unconsciously took on the indifference he had when facing her in the past: "I wonder what the queen does?"
The queen was slightly startled, but the shock faded away in a moment, and her smile remained decent: "I... I would like to say thank you to Mr. Xu. If Mr. Xu hadn't brought someone to help him in time yesterday..."
"No need." Xu Yun interrupted her coldly.
He wanted to address me and thank him again——
Could it be that he is waiting here just to hear this?
"Yesterday, I followed my father and niece because I couldn't worry about them. The Queen—"
The words "Don't think too much" came to my lips and I met those eyes, but I didn't have the heart to say them out.
After more than ten years, no matter how angry I am, I still know that some words will hurt people once they are spoken.
He is not like her, who will stab people with a soft knife whenever he opens his mouth!
"The Queen, there is no need to say thank you." Xu Yun said these words in an unpleasant tone and was about to turn around and leave.
"..." The queen stopped talking when she saw this, and wanted to call the person to stop.
But I saw him take two steps and then he stopped.
Even though he didn't look back, she seemed to see his tightly frowning eyebrows from his voice: "...Now that you have left the palace, do you still plan to go back? Is it possible that you still have something unfinished?
?”
go back?
The queen shook her head subconsciously.
Now that she has come out, how can she go back again?
She... doesn't want to go back either.
"I'm not going back." She said looking at his back.
Not going back——
These four words made Xu Yun's eyebrows relax slightly, and his tone changed from cold and hard to straightforward dissatisfaction: "In that case, who are you showing off to someone like a queen?"
The queen was stunned and subconsciously said: "How can I have it?"
Xu Yun's eyebrows moved slightly, and the corners of his mouth curved slightly, but he still pretended to be cold and said: "Wouldn't it be better to talk like this?"
The queen lowered her eyes and looked at her polite hands.
Unconsciously straightened shoulders...
When you come into contact with people, you always have a smile on your face.
Such as various...
No wonder.
No wonder he said this.
She wanted to say something, but she didn't know what to say. She had stayed in the palace for so long that she thought she was numb. She also didn't know how to speak, how to act, how to...
...face him.
But she just saw him standing here, and she wanted to walk towards him...
I would like to thank you sir, but I don’t know what else to say.
No, there are some things she still wants to say——
She always owed him an explanation.
If you have done something wrong and you owe something, you need to apologize.
Only after you apologize can you talk about anything else.
But right now, in full view of everyone, it is not a good time to talk.
"How many days will it take to arrive at Linyuan?" she asked.
"About seven or eight days -" Xu Yun turned around slightly, "Why do you ask me this?"
Who wants to hear this?
If you don't tell him what he wants to hear, he will leave!
Just give her this chance!
…Give it this once today!
"When we arrive at Linyuan City in seven or eight days, maybe..." The queen paused slightly and said, "Are you free? I have something to say to you."
"Of course not -" Xu Yun said with a serious face: "Of course it's okay."
He added: "I'm just a free man, and I have a lot of free time."
In other words, you don’t have to wait for seven or eight days, you are free now, very free!
However, the Queen wanted to have a long talk with him, but she was very insistent.
At this time, seeing the Imperial Master getting out of the car and stretching his body, she said: "Then it's settled, I'll go see the Queen Mother."
I was slightly blessed and left.
Xu Yun frowned, walked around for a few steps, and then got back into the car.
I took a sip of tea and put it down again.
He sat there and closed his eyes, then opened them again.
Xu Mingshi blinked his eyes.
Second uncle, what happened?
When we got off the bus, the breeze was bright and the moon was bright, and we were relaxed and contented. How could it be that when we got back, it felt like a cat had scratched our heart?
After a while, Xu Yun opened the curtain and looked out. Seeing that the army had not moved, he couldn't help but said, "Why haven't they started yet?"
Xu Jin, who was eating sesame seed cakes, had doubts in his eyes.
The soldiers walked for most of the day, and after less than two-quarters of an hour of rest, the second brother started to hurry up. Is this something human beings do?
"Why are you so anxious, uncle?" Xu Mingshi's eyes were full of suspicion.
It was obvious that only others usually complained about the second uncle's troubles, so how come the second uncle was also worried about others today?
"There will be pursuers behind me, how can I not be anxious?"
Xu Mingshi's mouth twitched.
The pursuers also have to hurry, is it possible that they can still fly over?
I always feel like my second uncle is hiding something...
Xu Yun couldn't eat any dry food, so he simply fell down in the car, pulled the blanket and covered it: "Call me when you come to Linyuan...!"
If you don’t say it now, don’t mention it. If you say something to introduce it, but have to wait until seven or eight days later, this is going to drive someone crazy!
——Driving people crazy has always been what she is best at!
Xu Mingshi remained silent.
Second uncle, do you want to sleep until Linyuan?
Although this is indeed very strange to the second uncle, it is not a good way to sleep. If the second uncle really has such needs that cannot be achieved without passing out, he might ask Xu Mingyi——
Xu Jin sighed with emotion in his heart.
Why does the second brother have to be so stubborn...
It’s been more than ten years.
More than ten years have been too long. It has grown into a belly for a handsome man like him. What else will remain unchanged?
After being a queen for more than ten years, my thoughts may have faded long ago...
And the second brother is so stubborn, who knows whether it is because his mind has not changed, or whether it is just an unwillingness that has turned into obsession?
There are so many emotions that need to be distinguished, and some of them can be explained clearly in just one or two sentences.
His poor second brother, I'm afraid he still has to endure...
Xu Yun scratched his heart and lungs and kept turning over.
Xu Jin chewed the hard sesame seed cakes, shook his head, and said to himself, "What a pity" - it would be a pity not to eat pancakes.
Xu Mingshi glanced at his abnormal second uncle, and then at his father who seemed to know everything but was only interested in eating cakes. He couldn't bear the curiosity in his heart and simply got out of the car.
He didn't believe that there were secrets in this family that Xu Mingyi didn't know about.
When he was about to look for someone, he saw her holding a few fiery red maple leaves in her arms, walking towards the direction of the carriage ahead with Wu Chao.
Xu Mingshi walked over.
A soldier stood guard outside the carriage and saw Wu Chao and Xu Mingyi. After saluting, he said respectfully: "Girl, Wu Shisun, the general is changing the dressing at this time."
At this time, the wind started to blow, so Xu Mingyi did not ask anyone to open the car curtain, but only asked through the car curtain: "Grandpa, do you feel better?"
"It's Zhaozhao." Zhenguo Gong resisted the burning pain of the powder being sprinkled on the wound and said with a smile: "Don't worry, grandpa is fine! It's just a small injury, it's already scabbed!"
Along the way, the two sons had to ask someone every half an hour to ask - if they were bothered, it would be terrible if they took it for granted that they didn't know!
Zhaozhao also frequently asked people to ask - his granddaughter is filial, and he can't worry the child.
King Dingnan, who was sitting opposite him, heard the words "It's already scabbed" and couldn't help but glance at the terrible wound.
Even Divine Doctor Qiu wanted to say, "It's not necessary."
The bleeding had just stopped for two hours. If it could be scabbed by force, he estimated that he must have stolen the elixir furnace of Taishang Laojun and the jade purification bottle in the hands of Guanyin Bodhisattva...
Xu Mingyi was not stupid enough to believe his grandfather's lies, so he simply asked: "Miracle Doctor Qiu, what is the condition of my grandfather's injury? But he has a fever?"
She heard that her grandfather's voice was obviously mute.
"The wound was treated cleanly and there is no fever. All you need to do is take the medicine and change it on time." Under the death gaze of Duke Zhen, Doctor Qiu said objectively: "With Qiu here, Miss Xu can rest assured.
"
Xu Mingyi nodded to himself and said, "Then the miracle doctor will have to worry about it."
But...why did Doctor Qiu's voice become mute?
At this time, King Dingnan's voice came out, with a hint of solemn coldness: "Don't worry, I think he is doing very well."
"...?" Wu Chao and Xu Mingyi looked at each other.
Why is this old man’s voice mute!
What happened in this carriage?
During the march, conditions were limited, so the two old men were allowed to ride in the same carriage. This was not only due to conditions, but also to allow the two family heads to discuss various matters conveniently during the journey.
Now it seems that they must have discussed it thoroughly...
But what's the matter with Divine Doctor Qiu?
Xu Mingyi was confused.
Could it be that Divine Doctor Qiu still takes sides?
As everyone knows, for Doctor Qiu, it is never possible to take sides. Since they are both their own idols, they must have a bowl of water to balance them!
Precisely because he was holding the water so seriously, when the two of them had a dispute, they had to persuade each other. If he was not dumb, who would be dumb?
Wu Chao talked with the two old men in front of the car about the marching arrangements for the next journey, and did not stay long.
As soon as he, Xu Mingyi and Xu Mingshi, who came over to ask about his grandfather's injury, left, they heard the faint voices of two old men in the car behind them.
"...You are still showing off your strength at your age. If this knife is harder and you turn into a ghost, I am afraid that you will blame my Wu family's secret guards for not being serious. It was just a show in the beginning, and those who don't know still think I am
The Wu family is seeking revenge for personal reasons."
"You know nothing. If it weren't for my cruel trick, how could it have been delayed for so long before the emperor noticed it!"
"How long? How long did it take for the police to catch up to you?"
"This is an adventure. How do you think it's so easy to get out of this heavily guarded capital?! You left the city early and didn't know the dangers involved. Why are you so cool here?"
"Okay, okay, general, prince... don't argue anymore." As soon as Divine Doctor Qiu put down the medicine, the work came again. He immediately comforted King Dingnan: "Your Majesty, think about it carefully, the general will send you out early in the morning.
The city obviously cares about your safety, and would rather bear everything than ask you to take risks..."
"..." King Dingnan frowned tightly, his face changing.
"General, be calm and calm. Your Majesty said this just because you are annoyed that you don't take care of your body and caused yourself to be so seriously injured. Your Majesty feels sorry for you, General..."
"...!" Duke Zhen Guo's eyes widened and his expression became distorted.
Doctor Qiu had already grabbed one hand of the two of them, one on the left and the other on the right. His eyes looked as if his long-term wish was finally coming true. "Both of you are heroes to save the world and true confidants. You should never misunderstand because of these misunderstandings."
I feel the sincerity of the other party..."
Seeing that the two hands were about to be forcibly held together at the urging of the other party, Duke Zhen Guo and King Dingnan rarely reached a strong consensus on something——
Can you tell this person to get off the bus?!
The quarrel suddenly disappeared, but Wu Chao was still a little uneasy.
One is worried about the health of the old men.
But fortunately, Doctor Qiu is with him, which can be regarded as a guarantee.
And secondly, he was afraid that his life-long event would be implicated and angered...
Therefore, the young man, who could not allow anyone to hinder his great career in marrying a wife, thought about whether he should separate the two old men.
"Sister, I have something to ask you." Xu Mingshi said.
"What's the matter?"
Seeing that she had no intention of talking alone, Xu Mingshi glanced at Wu Chao, but he didn't say anything else: "I think there is something wrong with my second uncle... I asked my father and he refused to tell me."
My father refused to tell me...
Xu Mingyi nodded in understanding.
Then she knew what was wrong with her second uncle.
"Then when you ask, remember to tell me." She looked at the boy and said.
Xu Mingshi: "...?"
Did he look like he was going out of his way to share his doubts with her?
"Don't you know?" The boy did not hide his suspicion.
"Why do I know?" Xu Mingyi didn't show any hint of guilt.
She had figured out this secret because of her own ability.
Now it is still unclear whether the Queen is willing to be her second aunt, and whether the second uncle's wish to marry a wife will be frustrated for the second time. If she had said it so early, wouldn't it be too unreasonable?
As for lying to children——
Who doesn’t have a child who has too many problems and needs a little cheating every now and then to cope with it?
After the army rested, they continued to move forward.
Xu Mingyi returned to the carriage and sat down again, listening to the chats of the Queen Mother, Mrs. Wu Shizi and his mother along the way.
After leaving the capital, everyone was in a relaxed and happy mood. Although we were on the march, we were still happy.
The conversation was also very casual, ranging from rouge and gouache to the younger members of the family, to horse hanging leaf signs, and asking her about the customs and customs of Linyuan City.
The queen listened quietly with a gentle smile on her face, and would answer a few words from time to time, but in Xu Mingyi's eyes, she always seemed absent-minded.
Eight days passed in this way, Xu Mingyi opened the azure car curtains after the rain and took a look -
In the drizzle, Linyuan City is right in front of you from a distance.
