Chapter 273 Two people riding a horse
As Mrs. Xia spoke, tears kept flowing down her face.
General Xia certainly knew. Could it be that the emperor really intended to let the eldest prince succeed to the throne, so he used marriage to pave the way for him?
On the other hand, Xia Liyun didn't care at all. Her martial arts skills were not learned in vain.
There were no concubines in General Xia's mansion. Xia Liyun had a brother who was sent to the military camp by General Xia a few years ago. The couple doted on their daughter especially.
Xia Liyun is loyal, simple and cute.
Xia Liyun, who was reading a sword manual in the room, heard the maid come to report that Wang Chuyue had arrived, and hurried out to greet her.
Wang Chuyue also came to thank Xia Liyun on behalf of her aunt.
Wang Chuyue’s invitation was delivered two days ago, and right after that the emperor’s edict arrived, so it always felt a little strange that Wang Chuyue came to see Xia Liyun.
Xia Liyun and Wang Chuyue had met on some occasions in their childhood and got along very well, but because their families had close ties with military generals, the two families consciously kept their distance.
Xia Liyun was very happy when he saw Wang Chuyue’s post, after all, she was his childhood playmate.
The Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion has been weak in recent years, and the Wang family is not what it used to be.
Wang Chuyue came to Xia's house with excitement and a little nervousness.
As soon as I stepped into the mansion, I saw Xia Liyun coming out surrounded by maids.
Xia Liyun was wearing a light pink dress with delicate pearls and jade in her hair, which made her look even more beautiful. Wang Chuyue was wearing a simple green dress, but it was hard to hide her natural elegance.
The moment their eyes met, there was joy in their eyes. They walked towards each other quickly and held each other's hands tightly.
Wang Chuyue spoke first: "Sister Liyun, I haven't seen you for a long time. How are you?"
Xia Liyun's eyes sparkled: "Sister Chuyue! I'm fine, please come in."
The two walked hand in hand into the inner hall. After sitting down, Wang Chuyue said gratefully: "Sister, I came here today. First, I haven't seen you for many years and I miss you very much. Second, thank you for helping me in the palace. Chuyue will never forget this kindness."
Xia Liyun shook her head gently and said with a smile: "You and I are sisters, there is no need to thank me." Then, the two of them fell into childhood memories.
Wang Chuyue smiled and said, "I still remember when we were little, we played together under that old locust tree, and you always gave in to me."
Xia Liyun also fell into reminiscence: "Yes, we were carefree and happy back then."
Afterwards, Wang Chuyue sincerely congratulated Xia Liyun on being named the prince's concubine: "Sister, the emperor's decree... Congratulations to you, sister."
Xia Liyun's character originally has the free and unrestrained personality of a man. She acts decisively and without dragging her feet. She is worthy of being the daughter of a general. Although she is a lady from a wealthy family, she has the broad mind of a man and does not worry about trivial matters.
She just waved her hand and said, "Sister Chu Yue, the emperor's order cannot be disobeyed, but don't worry, even if I enter the prince's mansion in the future, Miss Xue and I will become close friends."
Wang Chuyue's eyes were full of gratitude: "Sister, I don't know how to thank you! My poor cousin grew up in the countryside and is timid. She has had a high fever since she came back that day. The Queen sent an imperial physician, saying that she was frightened."
Of course Xia Liyun heard that Xia Xuelian was frightened and fell ill, so he said those words to Wang Chuyue and asked her to tell Madam Wang that he would protect Xia Xuelian in the future.
However, both of them have been married to the eldest prince, and it is not convenient for them to have public contact before the marriage.
Of course Xia Liyun didn't know that at this time she had already been pulled into Xia Xuelian's camp.
Imperial Palace Study Room
The emperor took the superstition in his hand and threw it at the black-clad man kneeling below: "A bunch of rubbish!"
Li Jun knelt down hurriedly: "Your Majesty, please calm down, Your Majesty, please calm down"
The man in black: "This slave deserves death! Emperor Qing, please calm down!"
"Your Majesty, we encountered the Chu family army in Gulang City. Only a few of them came to the border."
The emperor looked at him in a sullen manner: "Go check, was it Chu Feng who sent them there? What was the purpose?"
The man in black received the order and quickly left the imperial study in stealth.
Gulang City
Xue Qing and Wu Yu were in a stalemate. Wu Yu wanted to take Xue Qing away from Gulang City, but Xue Qing insisted on not letting him see him off.
Gao Yi came out to help: "Wu Yu, I will take Miss Wu to catch up with the caravan. You have a mission to accomplish and cannot change the itinerary at will."
Xue Jing: "Whether she is still your fiancée or not, I think you should respect her opinion. It is most appropriate for Gao Yi to take Qing'er to catch up with the caravan."
Wu Yu: "Don't bother you two, I will send her back to Quanrun."
Xue Qing: "You are so free"
Early the next morning, Wu Yu, Xue Qing and Gao Yi set out for Quanrun County together.
Since Xue Qing's horse riding skills were not very good and the carriage was moving very slowly, Wu Yu directly carried Xue Qing onto his horse and rode on the same horse with Xue Qing.
Xue Qing had no time to react before he was already on the horse: "Wu Yu, put me down!"
Wu Yu sat behind Xue Qing and held Xue Qing in his arms. Ever since she knew that Wu Yu was thinking about the original owner, she was very resistant to any contact with him.
"Sit tight." Wu Yu, an adult, spoke with a slightly magnetic voice in Xue Qing's ears.
Gao Yi watched the two of them riding intimately on a horse from behind, feeling a little uncomfortable, but he had no right to say anything now.
Even though the Qing'er of now is not the Qing'er of the past, he doesn't know whether the real Qing'er will come back. No matter what, he will protect this body until Qing'er comes back.
Xue Qing wanted to protect himself before the horse galloped away, so he reached out and grabbed the extra reins.
Her body involuntarily moved forward a little, and Wu Yu also noticed her little movements.
He flicked the whip and galloped out, with Gao Yi following closely behind.
Within half a day, the three of them arrived at the foot of the mountain. Wu Yu and Gao Yi stopped in tacit understanding, and they nodded to rest here.
Gao Yi dismounted first, and after Wu Yu dismounted, he wanted to reach out to grab Xue Qing.
Xue Qing raised his leg, jumped down from the other side, and walked straight towards Gao Yi.
"Brother Gao, thank you so much this time!"
Gao Yi felt a little guilty when he saw Xue Qing's sincere gratitude towards him. It was him who failed to protect Xue Qing, but now he had to accept her gratitude.
"Miss Wu, I'm so ashamed! I didn't help at all."
Xue Qing gave a meaningful smile and changed the subject; "Did Brother Gao bring any food?"
When Gao Yi saw Xue Qing's smile just now, he felt a little uneasy. Then he saw her sweet smile again and thought he had seen it wrong.
When he heard her ask him what food he had, he immediately turned around and searched for food in his bag.
At this time, a round cake appeared in front of Xue Qing, with the aroma of sesame. Without looking, he knew that it was brought by Wu Yu.
The smile on Xue Qing's face immediately disappeared: "No need"
Gao Yi had already taken out a water bag and a paper package from the bag and handed them to Xue Qing.
Xue Qing's face immediately broke into a bright smile.
