Chapter 293 Wait for me
Chapter 293 Wait for me
"You just need to trust me and stay in the capital and wait for me, and everything will be fine."
Yun Shuning smiled with tears in her eyes, turned around, took out a brocade box from the drawer and handed it to him: "Take these pills. I have written detailed efficacy and usage on each medicine bottle. Maybe it can help you."
Jiang Yu accepted it with a smile: "Okay."
Yun Shuning looked at him, her mind in a mess. The uneasy feeling she had felt before became even more serious at this moment. She always felt that this matter was extremely dangerous.
After a moment, she raised her eyes, looked into those dark eyes and said, "You must come back safely. When you come back, I will tell you a secret, a secret about me."
Jiang Yu was slightly stunned, then he started to laugh. How could he not know what she wanted to say?
He smiled and comforted her softly: "Okay, I will definitely come back. I will always do what I promised you."
Such sweet words usually made Yun Shuning laugh, but at this moment she couldn't laugh at all.
Yun Shuning stood on tiptoe, put her hands on Jiang Yu's face, closed her eyes, and gently kissed his lips.
She let go of her hand, and the next moment, Jiang Yu grabbed the back of her head and pulled her towards him, deepening the kiss.
In the room filled with the bright light of the sunset, the banished immortal-like man kissed the beautiful girl. His kiss was deep and passionate, ardent and gentle, as if he wanted to make up for the next few days and imprint his love deeply between their tightly entangled lips and teeth.
Yun Shuning tilted her head back to accept the kiss, and felt heat in her eyes, as if she was about to cry.
After a long, long time, a few sudden bird calls were heard outside the window.
Jiang Yu let her go, kissed her again, and then wiped the moisture from the corners of Yun Shuning's eyes with his fingertips: "Xiaoxiao, don't cry."
Yun Shuning smiled slightly, and the tears between her eyelashes were crushed.
She looked at Jiang Yu deeply.
She wanted to kiss him again.
She hid her love in a tenderness that could be seen at a glance. Jiang Yu understood it. He stared at her deeply for a long time under the sunset glow, stroked her cheek gently, and said with a smile: "I should go now, Ning'er, wait for me to come back."
He climbed out of the window and quickly disappeared.
Yun Shuning stood in front of the window and watched him go. A red plum blossom fell on the back of her hand with the wind. She picked it up and watched it float away with the wind again. Her eyes moved to the branches in the yard where buds were already appearing.
Winter goes and spring comes.
Even if there is a haze, it will be swept away in such a new life and reunion, it will definitely happen.
……
Emperor Jingsheng rested his hand on the imperial desk, pressing his brow. In front of him were piles of memorials waiting for his review, and there was also a half-reviewed memorial that was opened in front of him.
The series of sudden deaths and plagues in Liuzhou have not yet been resolved, but urgent military reports of foreign invasion suddenly came from the border. One wave has not yet subsided when another wave comes, and all at the same time. Isn't all this too much of a coincidence?
He took a deep breath and looked at Yun Zhong. Years of relying on each other made them understand the deep meaning in each other's eyes the moment their eyes met.
Yun Zhong took a step forward and said, "I am willing to lead the troops to the border to repel the foreign enemies. I hope Your Majesty will agree."
Emperor Jingsheng looked exhausted, but his voice still carried the majesty of a superior: "Yes."
Yun Zhong cupped his hands and said, "I will definitely live up to the trust of the Emperor."
"emperor."
Yun Yan, who was standing beside him, stepped forward at this moment, his voice clear and resolute: "Your Majesty, the foreign enemy is strong and the war is urgent. I am willing to go with my father to protect our Great Yan."
Emperor Jingsheng was slightly startled, his eyes lingered on Yun Yan's face for a moment, and he nodded in agreement, "In that case, you two can go together. I am waiting for the good news of your great victory."
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty. I will do my best."
The two of them spoke in unison, bowed deeply and clasped their hands.
"emperor."
A cold voice was heard at this moment.
Duke Zhou said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince was ordered to go to Liuzhou this time, but he has been slow to take action, which has made the disaster in Liuzhou even worse. He is so immoral and incompetent that he is unworthy of being the Crown Prince of a country..."
"presumptuous!"
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Emperor Jingsheng with a stern voice. A flash of anger flashed in his eyes: "Don't discuss the Crown Prince's affairs anymore. Let's wait until Prince Rui comes back to discuss everything."
Duke Zhou lowered his eyes and agreed, then raised them again and said, "But..."
"But what?" Emperor Jingsheng was a little impatient.
"General Yun is old, but General Yun is still young. I think that this border war is a serious matter, so it would be better to send a few more generals. Lord Yuan is resourceful, brave and courageous, and is the best candidate to go with us."
As soon as these words were spoken, ministers immediately echoed them.
"I think what Duke Zhou said makes sense. Lord Yuan was also a great general in his time. With his help, I believe that General Yun will be even more powerful."
Emperor Jingsheng glared at them coldly. What was this about helping? It was just that the Duke's Mansion wanted to send a military supervisor to go with them.
He was furious, but now was not the time to tear his face off and eliminate the power of the Duke's Mansion, so he had to suppress his anger. Just as he was about to find a reason to refuse, he heard Yun Zhong's deep voice from below: "Your Majesty, let Lord Yuan go with this old minister."
Yun Zhong shook his head slightly at him, indicating that everything was fine.
Emperor Jingsheng made eye contact with him, and then he said in a deep voice, "Approved."
"My emperor is wise."
Amid the farewells, Duke Zhou curled up the corners of his lips slightly.
After the court session, Emperor Jingsheng walked side by side with Yunzhong in the imperial garden.
The cold wind blows, and the fragrance of plum blossoms wafts in. Looking around, the blooming plum blossoms, red and white, make people feel refreshed.
Emperor Jingsheng sighed, anger flashed in his eyes, and he said, "You said you had to agree to what Duke Zhou did. I could have refused. Duke Zhou was simply presumptuous and ignored me even more. He was lawless."
"Now is not the time to confront the Duke's Mansion. Don't worry too much. I know very well what they are thinking. It is better to solve the problem in one go than to guard against it for a thousand days. The most important thing right now is the war on the border." Yun Zhong said slowly.
Emperor Jingsheng looked at him deeply, but said nothing more.
That night, Yun Zhong and Yun Sheng led their troops to set off. A few days after they left, the court did not receive any urgent reports, and everyone felt a little more at peace.
Unexpectedly, a shocking piece of news suddenly spread in the capital: the prince was missing.
Such explosive news immediately caused a great shock among the people, and such shock naturally also spread to the imperial city of Dayan.
Pei Yan had been feeling inexplicably uneasy since she came to Japan, and now after hearing the news from Mingzhu, she was so anxious that she lost her appetite.
After thinking it over again and again, she took the initiative to bring Mingzhu to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, and ran into Yun Shuning who happened to come back.
Yun Shuning was a little surprised.
Pei Yan came forward and asked, "Miss Yun, the prince went to Liuzhou with Master Yun Chang this time. Now everyone in the capital is saying that the prince..."
She bit her lip and said, "It's said in the capital that the prince is missing, so I wanted to ask Miss Yun, do you have any news about him?"
Pei Yan stared at Yun Shuning closely, afraid that she would miss any important information from her face, and her voice was filled with anxiety.
Yun Shuning was stunned, somewhat surprised that Pei Yan came here today just for Jiang Hong.
She was silent for a moment, then led Pei Yan into the mansion. Seeing that there was no one around, she said to her, "The situation in Liuzhou is critical right now. We really don't have any news about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. His whereabouts are currently unknown..."
Pei Yan only felt a loud bang in her ears, and could not hear anything else that was said.
The man who wanted to give his life to her in her memory is gone...
Her legs unconsciously went weak and Yun Shuning quickly supported her.
Pei Yan grabbed Yun Shuning's hand with such force that Yun Shuning was unable to break free for a while.
Pei Yan's voice was hoarse, and she spoke after a while: "Miss Yun, if you have any news about Liuzhou in the future, please let me know as soon as possible."
Yun Shuning heard the hidden meaning in her words. She sighed inwardly and replied, "Don't worry, Crown Princess. I will inform you as soon as there is any news from there."
Pei Yan nodded, her face a little pale, her eyes dimmed, and she staggered back as if her soul had been taken away.
Mingzhu, who was waiting on the side, quickly ran forward and supported her.
Yun Shuning's statement was actually quite conservative.
In fact, the current situation in Liuzhou is far more difficult than she said.
