C404 They Had Broken off All Relations
In the end, Yu Longchen didn't kill anyone. Only exhaustion and dejection could be seen in his eyes. He ordered that there were only a few hundred Praetorian Guard left in the Imperial Palace. The rest of them would go out and look for Mu Ruqing. No matter what it was, they had to bring her back.
"Emperor, it would be inappropriate to only leave a hundred people in the Palace." Changxu had to worry about the lack of manpower in the Imperial Palace. He could not guarantee Yu Longchen's safety.
"Zhen has the final say!" Yu Longchen's emotions had been out of control and his voice was filled with anger.
"Reporting to the Emperor, Your Ladyship has something to leave for the Emperor." Yu Longchen did not kill Lingyue but she did not feel relaxed. Instead, she felt countless guilt and sadness in her heart.
"Where?!" Yu Longchen suddenly stood up and walked out. "Quickly take Zhen."
Lingyue quickened her pace and took out a few boxes from the Phoenix Hall.
There were three boxes filled with clothes. The last box contained all the letters written by Mu Ruqing. Each of them was folded into many shapes.
Yu Longchen's fingers trembled slightly. He held the edge of the box with both hands, then covered his eyes and swallowed a few times.
Lingyue brought the palace maids in the hall and left.
The large palace echoed with Yu Longchen's low and deep sound of sobbing.
Sitting in front of the box, he had a bow on his back and when he looked up, he saw a letter stuck to the lid of the box.
Mu Ruqing's handwriting was very clear: You are the Emperor, you cannot shed tears. You are the heaven of the people, you cannot fall. In the future, open a piece of paper every day, and I will chat with you. A smiling face was attached.
Yu Longchen's eyebrows moved and the corner of his mouth slowly curled up. This was a helpless and nostalgic smile.
You are so weak that you can't go far. Since you are not at the back of the mountain, then, are you still alive? Where did you go? Even if there is only a tiny bit of hope, I will find you. No matter where you are, I will find you!
As he thought, he closed the box and hugged it tightly, as if Mu Ruqing's last warmth was on it.
Suddenly thinking of the child, Yu Longchen finally reacted. The two children looked at the door and called out, "Lingyue, where is the child? Bring it to Zhen to take a look."
"Yes." Lingyue's voice came from the hall.
After a while, the wet nurse carried her up and Lingyue stood by the side.
Seeing the innocent smiles of the two children, Yu Longchen finally had a genuine smile on his face. "Qing, have you told me the names of the two children?"
"Your Ladyship said to let the Emperor choose." Lingyue nodded her head and replied.
Yu Longchen paused for a moment and touched the child's tender face. His gaze dimmed, "No, wait for her to come back before giving her a name. Zhen will give them the title first. Elder sister will be called Ru and younger brother will be called Ling'er."
Lingyue naturally knew what Yu Longchen meant and just smiled without saying anything.
The two children stared into Yu Longchen's eyes and seemed to know something as they held each other's hands.
Yu Longchen saw that they were cute and could not help but take it over and hug it in his arms. He looked into Ru's eyes and was lost in thought. Ru's eyes were very similar to Mu Ruqing's, just like a pool of water in a bay. It was so clear that people would not forget it if they saw it.
"Yi ya ya ya!"
When ___ saw her elder sister being hugged by Royal Father, her mouth curled up as if she was a little unhappy.
Lingyue took Ru and Yu Longchen carried her again.
Only when Yu Longchen was carrying the child in Phoenix Hall did he feel some warmth in his heart. That's right, he still had two children to take care of.
Mu Ruqing would definitely be able to find it. He would not allow her to die, so how could she die? Even if she went to hell, he would still bring her back.
After calming his mind, he became more and more certain of his thoughts.
He asked Gao Mao to bring all the things that he needed to bring to Mu Ruqing's chambers. Only here could Yu Longchen get closer to Mu Ruqing.
Mo'an Temple.
Changxu and Miao Yingyu did not return. They followed the Praetorian Guard into the mountain to search twice, but there was still no trace of them.
Both of them were still on the mountain. Yuan Zhen wasn't in a good mood, and his search for them was fruitless. He squatted under the shade of the tree and held his head, not saying a word for a long time.
Miao Yingyu stood and looked at him with a puzzled expression.
"Qing only left after she knew about these things. She knew that I would save her. So she left alone. It was all because of me. If I hid better, is she still in the Imperial Palace? I don't need to feel the cold weather outside. If I had known earlier that she had such plans... Can I stop her? If I had been more careful, I would have been able to tell her intentions from the clues before she left? " Changxu said and did not stop. There was only endless guilt.
Miao Yingyu bit her lips. Her eyes changed. There was a lot of blame in her eyes. She slowly took a breath in her heart. She looked away and looked at other places.
"I must find Qing!" Changxu stood up. His eyes were filled with fighting spirit again.
Changxu did not care about Miao Yingyu. He just walked forward and did not forget to look back after a few steps. "Quickly follow."
Miao Yingyu still did not move. Her palm was clenched into a fist and she whispered, "Have you ever thought that she might already be dead?"
This sentence seemed to have touched Yuan Zhen's reverse scale. He stopped and did not turn his head. "Do you know what you are saying? "
"Very clear." Miao Yingyu walked up to him and her emotions were very complicated. There was guilt, sadness, reluctance, and pleasure. "Why do you think she would accept your kindness of saving her life? You know very well that she won't live long, and she also knows very well. That's why she distanced herself from you in such a way."
"This isn't whether she wants to or not, this is what I should do, this is my responsibility" It was obvious that Changxu's attitude was not good.
"Then have you thought about me?! Do you have me in your heart or not?" Miao Yingyu suddenly raised her voice and pointed at herself, "I am the one who loves you the most. Yes. When you decided on these things, I always told myself to understand you. I understand you, but when I think about it, you won't be in this world anymore. What do you want me to do? We are husband and wife, but you think about other women every day. That's right. From the beginning to the end, you never asked for my opinion."
" This is my responsibility, I'm the one who let you down " Yuan Zhen's anger disappeared after he heard Miao Yingyu's words. His eyes were determined. "No matter what you say and how you look at me, I must do this!"
"Do you really not want to be with me for the rest of your life? Just for Mu Ruqing! For a person who doesn't know the difference between life and death, you must abandon me!"
"Qing is still alive. If she is here, it means that she is still alive." When Yuan Zhen said the last part, it was obvious that he was not confident, but he had always been stubborn in his heart.
"The snow was so big last night and there was blood. Her corpse might have been dissed by wild beasts!" Miao Yingyu's words did not go through her brain. She only wanted to prove that Yuan Zhen was wrong.
"Shut up!" Yuan Zhen was also angry. "If you must think that I do not have you in my heart, then just think like this! I will definitely find her! "
"Alright, as long as you walk out of my sight today, treat me as if I don't have a husband like you! We will sever all ties of kindness from now on! "Miao Yingyu stomped her feet heavily and spoke a series of words.
Yuan Zhen carried her on his back and slightly tilted his head. After a long time, he spat out a few words from his mouth, "This is good too."
Miao Yingyu saw that he had given up his emotions in the corner of his eye and wanted to chase after him, but her feet seemed to be filled with lead and could not move at all.
Yuan Zhen's figure walked further and further away. Miao Yingyu's eyes were blurred by tears and she could not help but call out, "Yuan Zhen!"
The back view in the distance stopped for a while and still left.
