Chapter 84: The old man with unknown righteousness and evil (3)
After stretching her leg muscles, Meng Xinzhu put on her cloak and walked slowly out of the dormitory. She stood in the courtyard, blowing the cool autumn wind. It felt good to be able to move freely. She walked carefully to the pond in the palace.
He sat down on the grass beside him, leaning against the rockery and looking at the darkening sky...
"Brother Emperor!" Meng Xinzhu was startled. She turned around and looked out from the rockery, only to see the tenth prince chasing the emperor. "Brother Emperor! Have you really decided to do this?"
Hongde Longqiu stopped and said, "Didn't you hear it just now?"
"Why? Why do you want to send the emperor's sister-in-law back to Yedi suddenly? Ye has already perished, and she is not..."
"At least everyone still thinks that she is. Going to Ye Country is just an excuse. After leaving the palace, she can go wherever she wants. I will not restrict her."
"You also told the emperor's wife?" Hongde Longqiu nodded. "Why? Didn't you say that you could let go at the beginning, but now you can't let go? No matter how hard it is, you still have to go to the end with her? Why did you suddenly
change idea?"
"Actually, she has always wanted to leave. I was able to keep her in the beginning only because she was worried that I would implicate others. Now I can no longer trap her like this. Long Hao, Xinzhu is not happy in the palace, she is not happy,
How can I be happy?" Hongde Longqiu looked up at the sky, "She thinks I will be a good king. She said that as a wise king, she should cherish her people. She is also my people, so what can I do?
How can I not cherish her? I don't want to know if letting her go will change her view of me, but at least I know that she will be happy, and that's enough."
"Brother Imperial! Do you really have to let go?"
Hongde Longqiu pursed his lips, "Xinzhu said that if you know how to give up everything, you will gain something. The meaning of life lies in giving, not asking."
"Brother Imperial, you remember what the Imperial Sister-in-law said, and you simply can't let it go."
"It doesn't matter whether I can let it go or not. I have made a promise. Even a woman like Xinzhu knows that I keep my word. As the lord of the world, how can I break my promise?"
"What if the emperor's sister-in-law doesn't leave on her own?"
"Hahaha! Long Hao, you have listened to her "Laughing in the Red Dust", what do you think?" Hongde Long Hao frowned. "I really can't let her go, but I don't want to hurt her anymore. The Queen Mother has already sent a request.
"As long as the old gentleman is sure that Xinzhu's physical condition is okay, I will," Hongde Longqiu paused, "I will let her leave."
"Aren't you worried about the danger outside the palace? The emperor's sister-in-law's abduction this time is not a simple matter! And it's not clear who did it, so the emperor's wife's life is still in danger!"
"I know. So, I have told Xiao Zhao that he will protect her together with the Yan Clan. If those people dare to act rashly, I will let them die without a burial place!"
Hongde Longhao left, Hongde Longqiu was still standing in the courtyard, Meng Xinzhu was still sitting by the pond...
After a long time, Hong Delong Qiu turned around and returned to the room. Meng Xinzhu also stood up slowly. Her legs had not fully recovered yet, and she felt numb after sitting for a while. She had just taken a few steps, and Hong Delong Qiu
Then he rushed out of the palace.
"Xinzhu!" Seeing her standing in the courtyard, Hongde Longqiu stepped forward to caress her shoulders and look at her legs.
"When I woke up, I found that my legs could move, so I couldn't help but go out for a walk." Meng Xinzhu paused, "I walked for a long time without taking a few steps, so I just came back."
"I'm just feeling better. Don't be too tired. Let's go to bed early. We have to go back to Zhuyuan tomorrow."
Xiao Zhao inspected the palace and was about to return to Qianyue Palace. He was suddenly blocked by a white figure on the road. He was about to raise his stick, but the other party smiled and took out a token.
Xiao Zhao was stunned and fell to his knees.
"Xiao Zhao, I want to know the situation of the owner of Zhuyuan, and I must not hide anything!"
Xiao Zhao was stunned again. He lowered his head, hesitated for a moment, and then said slowly: "Yes!"
Returning to Zhuyuan, Meng Xinzhu looked at the place she called home. She had lived here for more than half a year. It was the only place she was familiar with in this different time and space. Meng Xinzhu lay on the hammock, swaying gently. In this time and space for so long, what I think about most is leaving the palace, but I seldom think about how to live after leaving the palace.
Yes, how should she live after leaving the palace? In modern society, her profession is "Swallow", but others here use "flying", but she uses running, and if she doesn't make it, she might even get tapped by others. Unable to move, how can she continue to be a "swallow" in this world with her current qualifications? Then what will she do for a living?
Although Yue Kingdom is relatively prosperous, it is still just a feudal society. The members of the society are mainly scholars, farmers, industry and merchants. She does not need to consider scholars. What about farmers? In addition to the knowledge in books, she has no practical experience at all. Does it mean that she has no practical experience at all? Do you want to follow the example of savages who usually start with slash-and-burn farming? What about industry and commerce? She does know a lot about this area, and selling some DIY things should be pretty good. But these things are not novel in this time and space, and they are bound to be How can you hide your identity and live a peaceful life by attracting people's attention?
Meng Xinzhu couldn't help laughing at himself, and suddenly realized that he was so useless. They all thought that modern people should have no problem living in ancient times, but when they thought about it carefully, it was not the case. In ancient society, most people were self-sufficient and lived a dull life, but a modern person has arrived The original rhythm and pattern of life here are not suitable for life here at all. They will inevitably do strange and weird things. It is difficult to live a normal life. Once you live in the forefront of the storm, you will have too many alternatives. Too much helplessness.
While she was thinking about what would happen in the future, Aunt Jiuhuang suddenly came and backed away from Eunuch Chen and others, pulling her into the pavilion, "Daughter Xinzhu, do you really have to leave?"
Meng Xinzhu smiled and said, "The imperial edict has been issued, how can it be false?"
"Didn't the godmother say that she was going to visit the bride?" Aunt Jiuhuang looked around and said softly, "the godmother doesn't mince words anymore, I just want to ask you, do you want to leave the palace?" Meng Xinzhu narrowed her eyes and did not answer. My daughter, Xinzhu, although your godfather and I often laugh and joke, he is not an old fool. When you said, "Can you not go back?", the godmother knew that you were unhappy in the palace. But the godmother could not figure out who It can be seen that the emperor's nephew really loves you, why are you still unhappy? What the godmother can't figure out even more is," the ninth princess stared into Meng Xinzhu's eyes, "since you have been favored by the emperor, why are you still a virgin?"
Meng Xinzhu was shocked. Except for her and Hongde Longqiu, no one else knew about this secret. Even Ru'er and Lianhua didn't know about it. In order to prevent being exposed, she didn't let Ru'er and others take a bath. How did her godmother know? of.
