Chapter 517: The Human World Goes to the End (Part 1)
Early the next morning, the sky was still covered with snow.
Xiao Xi had just gotten up and was sitting obediently by the bed, taking the handkerchief given by her aunt in the room to wash the kitten's face. Suddenly she heard the maid's voice coming from outside the door: "Master Governor, why are you here?"
Xiao Xi was stunned, jumped out of bed, stepped on her little shoes and walked out the door.
The director's aunt was stunned and quickly chased out: "Little ancestor, where are you going? It's snowing outside!"
Sure enough, a tall and slender figure stood outside the door. The man changed into a snow-white robe, making him look more like he was made of snow, pale and cold.
The two maids seemed to be respectful, but in fact they stood guard in front of the man.
Xiao Xi waved her hand: "Sisters, give way."
As he spoke, he slipped between the two maids, walked to Cang Qiao, raised his head, and was a little confused: "Why did you come here suddenly so early in the morning?"
Cang Qiao looked down at the kitten, which was not even close to her waist. She suddenly squatted on one knee and reached out to hold Xiao Xi on her lap.
"How come you have your shoes on and then you run out and your shoes and socks are all wet?"
When the two maids saw this, they couldn't help but be a little startled. They were experts responsible for protecting Xiao Xi, so they naturally and instinctively resisted people who did not belong to Concubine Ming's house approaching Xiao Xi.
Especially the master of Dongchang, people instinctively think that he is an extremely dangerous person.
But when I saw him suddenly lowering his head and leaning over, holding the young master in his arms, it was like an iceberg melting, and suddenly the inaccessible coldness disappeared, as if the ice melted away and the snow melted.
Such changes stunned them all.
Xiao Xi felt a little awkward being held by him, but there was no denying that the way he held her was very comfortable.
"Didn't I hear your voice outside?" He simply put his arm around Cang Qiao's shoulders, moved his butt, and found a more comfortable position to sit in.
Cang Qiao looked at the little guy sitting in his arms without resistance. He held the little baby's feet with a gentle smile and took off his little shoes and socks: "I'll change your shoes and socks."
As he said that, he glanced at the director aunt who was chasing Xiao Xi out: "Bring a dry pair of young master's shoes and socks."
The director aunt quickly turned around and went back to get the shoes and socks. It wasn't until she handed the shoes and socks to Cang Qiao that she realized that she had involuntarily followed Cang Qiao's instructions.
Cang Qiao took the shoes and socks, carefully and naturally helped Xiao Xi put on clean shoes and socks, and then hugged him: "After leaving the capital, you must listen to your mother carefully. It is very dangerous outside, and you are your mother's biggest weakness."
Xiao Xi looked at him with big black grape eyes: "You are also my mother's weakness, you have to protect yourself."
Cang Qiao was stunned, her eyes became complicated and deep, and she looked at him steadily: "I'm not with her, you have to protect your mother. If you are here, your mother will live well."
Xiao Xi sat on his arm and nodded seriously: "I know, I will protect myself and my mother."
Cang Qiao smiled gently: "Well, he is now a man."
With that said, he put down the little guy in his arms and touched his little head: "Go back and have breakfast."
Seeing him about to leave, Xiao Xi suddenly grabbed his sleeve and felt a little strange: "Mother hasn't gotten up yet. Aren't you going to say goodbye to her?"
Cang Qiao paused for a moment, looked at the falling snow all over the sky, and said leisurely: "No, the world will not be sad for a long time."
How long will it take for the world to be separated without sorrow?
what does it mean?
Xiao Xi was a little confused, watching the tall and cold figure holding an umbrella and walking into the snow, walking alone...
He suddenly felt as if that person would disappear in the falling fine snow.
Xiao Xi looked at him blankly, and suddenly said quietly and awkwardly: "Dad, goodbye."
He spoke very quickly and in a low voice, so the maids only suspected that they heard him wrong.
The cold wind gently swept the little man's voice into the wind, and I don't know if the man heard it.
…
Ming Lanruo was dressed in men's clothing, like a noble prince, with a fox fur shawl on her shoulders. She looked at the blue sky in the distance.
"he's gone?"
Chunhe nodded: "The governor has left, won't you send him off?"
Ming Lanruo was silent for a long time and said softly: "No, it's hard to be sad after a long separation in this world. I and him... won't be separated for a long time. Maybe we will be sad when we see each other again."
Hearing this, Chunhe sighed secretly and nodded: "Miss, let's pack up. It's time to pack up and set off."
An hour later, carriages were heading out of the capital in the snow.
Ming Lanruo opened the car curtain and looked at the plaque of Ming Fei's Mansion on the door of the mansion, with mixed emotions.
This is his Prince Mourning Palace and her Ming Concubine Palace.
After saying goodbye today, I don’t know when I will see this mansion again.
The convoy left the city far away.
On top of the city wall, a tall figure wearing a wolfskin cloak watched the convoy in silence until the entire convoy disappeared into the distance.
The entire capital city was decorated with silver, but it also had a chill to the bones.
"Your Highness, Concubine Ming has gone far." Ling Bo asked Shangguan Hongye in a low voice.
My master, I have been standing here for a long time. The convoy escorting medicines and doctors from the Ming Dynasty was here before they left the city.
Shangguan Hongye lowered his eyes and suddenly said softly: "She was never...not Ming Fei, she was just Ming Lanruo - the eldest lady of the Ming family, Xiao Shuai's granddaughter."
Ling Bo was stunned. He didn't understand what his master meant, so he just remained silent.
Shangguan Hongye raised his red phoenix eyes. Within a few days, he looked thinner and more mature, and the edges and corners on his face became clearer.
"Every time I entered the city, there were people here waiting for me and seeing me off. But there were too many people on the city wall, so I never paid attention. Now I want to try what it feels like to be waiting and seeing people off all the time."
He suddenly chuckled: "Now, I know, but it's too late. Do you think... will she hate me if she knows what I want to do in the future?"
Ling Bo did not speak, only whispered: "Your Highness, it's cold, you should go."
Shangguan Hongye closed his melancholy eyes. When he opened them again, a cold and sharp light was shining: "Yes, it's time to go."
She has left, and now there is no lingering love left in the capital, only winter snow and solemnity.
He turned around, and under the wolf-skin cloak were armor and swords radiating with cold light.
Ling Bo turned around, also wearing armor, and followed Shangguan Hongye towards the bottom of the city tower with a group of armored guards.
"How is our contact with our people going?" he asked as he walked.
Ling Bo said: "Back to Your Highness, as soon as the night after tomorrow, you can control the capital and enter the palace with one call and a hundred responses!"
Shangguan Hongye nodded lightly: "Okay."
After holding back for these days, since Cang Qiao wants to play, the chess game will be played to the maximum.
He knew that Cang Qiao must have a backup plan, and he also knew that Dongchang's spies were pervasive.
But even so, he still had to fight hard.
Maybe,
Born to be a king, with the blood of the emperor, I would rather live standing than die kneeling!
He accepts death in battle! He accepts success as king and defeat as bandit! He accepts death in a fight in the field of power!
