C532 Your Subordinate will Let You Go
Everyone knows that the Heavenly Offering is to sacrifice her to the heavens. She must die!
Another parting of life and death. This time, it was her own free will. If she could exchange for everyone's safety by herself, she would exchange for it.
"I finally understand why I was brought to this world. Grandpa Qing's move was to bring me here and use me to exchange for their lives. This game of chess was really seamless. Why did it have to be me? Just because I am Yici?" Mu Haiyang said self-deprecatingly as she walked.
After a long silence, Yan Yi said, "Imperial Consort, don't blame me. I have always been the Crown Prince's subordinate. He owes me a favor."
"I don't blame anyone. I only blame myself. I have always been a chess piece. I have always been..."
Mu Haiyang didn't know what sadness was at this moment. She really wanted to laugh. She wanted to laugh that she had been a chess piece since she was born, a chess piece of Songqing and Qing Yuzhuo.
"Then my life in the modern world is a trip. Is it a different world that grandpa took me to? This... This is the battlefield. Grandfather, you lost to Songqing in this game of chess. I lost to you."
The road from the palace to the altar was not close, but to Mu Haiyang, this was the last part of the road.
After another silence, Yan Yi seemed to have made up his mind and said, "Imperial Consort... I'm sorry, I'll let you go!"
Mu Haiyang looked back in surprise, then smiled and said, "No need. If I wanted to escape, I could have escaped long ago. Right now, none of you are a match for me."
"Imperial Consort!?"
Mu Haiyang was silent. She waved her hand and strode forward.
"I really want to see the Imperial Advisor, the Imperial Advisor..." She fell into deep thought.
...
It was also on this day that Lyi Xuanzhi had arrived in the Imperial City. With his longing and joy, he went straight to the King Lyi's mansion.
When the servant at the entrance saw Lyi Xuanzhi riding his horse over, he shouted happily, "His Royal Highness has returned! Quickly! His Royal Highness has returned!"
Lyi Xuanzhi jumped off his horse at the door and rushed in. He smiled and said, "Haiyang, Haiyang - This King is back. Haiyang! "
He did not stop for a moment. He ran into the bedroom. There was no one in the room, as if no one had lived there for a long time.
He went to his bedroom again. Similarly, there was no one in it. Although no one lived in it, it was spotless. At this time, he felt somewhat uneasy.
At this moment, the wet nurse carried Li Xun and appeared in the courtyard. Lyi Xuanzhi walked towards her, scaring Li Xun until he immediately cried. He did not care and asked, "Where is Haiyang? Where did she go? Where did the Princess go?"
The wet nurse consoled Li Xun as she bowed and replied, "The Princess left the Imperial Residence a few months ago and never came back. This servant also do not know where she went."
The wet nurse's words were undoubtedly a bolt of lightning that struck Lyi Xuanzhi. She was not there...
At this moment, he recalled the scenes on the battlefield. Her eyes were filled with grief as she stood on the city wall in a daze. Lu Che suddenly came back. Yue Yuan's words were peaceful. He understood everything.
"Mu Haiyang! You lied to this king again! Why did you lie to this king again and again?!"
Lyi Xuanzhi could not care less. He roared, as if he wanted to raze this place to the ground.
The wet nurse quickly brought Li Xun out of the courtyard. Just as Lyi Xuanzhi was about to go crazy, Lingsu's trusted aide walked in.
"Your Royal Highness, this is the letter General Yi asked me to give you!"
Lyi Xuanzhi did not care about the letter at this time. He grabbed him and asked, "Is Yee Lingsu and Mu Haiyang working together to cheat this king?"
The killing intent in his eyes was very obvious, but the person who came did not panic at all. He said, "All the reasons are in the letter. Your Royal Highness, please read it."
Lyi Xuanzhi shook him off and stared at him. He picked up the envelope with a blank cover and opened it to read.
This was Mu Haiyang's handwriting, the handwriting Lyi Xuanzhi taught her. He recognized it at a glance.
"Xuanzhi, seeing the letter is as good as seeing it. This time, Anhe and Yue Yuan did not fight for ten years. Anhe needs to strengthen the border defense. The combat strength of the soldiers can pick out a portion of the soldiers to specialize in studying formation tactics..."
This letter was very long. The first part of the letter roughly talked about Mu Haiyang's summary of the war and the plan to improve it. Lyi Xuanzhi swept through it and wrote on the last piece of paper.
Xuanzhi, I'm sorry that I lied to you again. I don't have much time this time. I have to go home. If I miss this opportunity, I will never be able to return. Please don't blame me. Take good care of Xun-er. Yici has been waiting for you in White Wall. If you don't abandon her... Bring Xun Er to find her. I understand the ten years between the two of you. You owe her ten years, and she has been waiting for you in White Wall for ten years.
Perhaps you will forget me in the future, but please live well. As long as you and Jiazhi are safe and sound, your father will feel at ease in heaven.
Mu Haiyang.
Lyi Xuanzhi held the letter, the killing intent in his eyes did not fade away.
"Mu Haiyang, what is this? If you don't want to search for your son, just throw it to me, Yici... This king only has gratitude towards Yici, there is no love that you want. Mu Haiyang... why are you so heartless, even if you can't tell this king... Why don't you take Xun Er away? Isn't he your child?"
Lyi Xuanzhi knew that Mu Haiyang had really returned home this time. However, no one knew why she had returned home, much less Lyi Xuanzhi.
In his mind, he played the scenes of Mu Haiyang falling into the mansion.
"Master, please spare this servant."
"Why kneel? You should continue acting. I will sit here and watch how you continue acting."
"Jiazhi, he... he wants to hang me in the yard."
"Jiazhi, I will go back to my room first. Your brother has a problem with his brain!"
"Don't move first. I'll take a photo. Lyi Xuanzhi, you can't come any closer!"
...
Lyi Xuanzhi felt incomparably stifled in his heart. He actually spat out a mouthful of blood, which stained his shirt.
"Your Royal Highness!" "Your Royal Highness..."
Lyi Xuanzhi's heart ached. He fell to the ground with a smile on his face. That powerless and ironic smile slowly closed his eyes. He did not want to wake up again. There was nothing worth waking him up.
Lianfeng called the Imperial Physician and went to the Palace to inform Lyi Jiazhi before he walked into Lyi Xuanzhi's room.
He looked very pale at the moment and could die at any time. Lyi Jiazhi anxiously paced around the room. He had already read the blood-stained letter. He did not understand why it was like this.
However, Lianfeng had always known from the beginning until the end that Mu Haiyang fell into the Palace. He knew it all.
After Lyi Jiazhi thought for a while, he glanced at the unconscious Lyi Xuanzhi. He said, "You said she went home. How did she go home? Didn't she fall into the lotus pond in the backyard of King Lyi's mansion? Then where did she find her way home? Don't you think this is very strange? Brother, he is desperate for love, that's why he neglected this detail... But you bystanders can see clearly, don't you understand? "
Lianfeng and Lian Kong were a little surprised. What he said was indeed a very obvious clue. She should go back the way she came. No one in the prefecture had seen Mu Haiyang come back, so how did she go back?
