Chapter 236 Leaving the Imperial City.
Chapter 236 Leaving the Imperial City.
Feng Zhaoyun looked around and sighed, "I'm finally leaving."
Meng Youli stepped forward respectfully, "Sir, please."
Due to Xiao Qingyue's special identity, as he was the late emperor's surviving husband, he was not allowed to move around freely. The fact that he was able to save his life was thanks to King Shang's protection. According to convention, he would be trapped in this square palace for the rest of his life.
But His Royal Highness King Shang showed mercy and allowed him to leave, so everyone had no choice but to let him go and pretend not to see anything.
In the Yue Kingdom, King Shang's words are far more effective than those of the Empress.
Xiao Qingyue was wearing a veil, and with her amber eyes, she looked like a foreigner. One couldn't help but wonder who was under the veil.
After they were ready, they followed Meng Youli all the way to the palace gate.
Feng Zhaoyun kept looking back. Jiuyi glanced back and sighed helplessly, "Master, don't look anymore. He's not here."
Jiuyi's words were neither loud nor soft, and they just happened to reach Meng Youli's ears. He slowed down his pace and walked side by side with Feng Zhaoyun. "My lord, who are you waiting for?"
Feng Zhaoyun smiled, "Nothing, I'm just leaving, so I'll take one last look."
Meng Youli chuckled, "Could it be that you, my lord, are reluctant to leave this place?"
Seeing that she ignored him, Meng Youli shook his head helplessly and pretended to chat casually, "His Royal Highness Prince Shang is the God of War of our Yue Kingdom. Now he is also the Regent. He holds a high position and has great power. He is a role model for men. I wonder what kind of woman he will marry in the future."
After saying this, Meng Youli glanced at her sideways, as if observing her expression.
Feng Zhaoyun lowered his head. "Tell me what this means?"
Seeing her being so straightforward and not beating around the bush, Meng Youli laughed out loud, waving his folding fan, "Your Excellency has misunderstood. I am simply proud that my Yue Kingdom has such a prince, so I am talking to you about this. By the way..."
Meng Youli picked up the fan and whispered, "By the way, your Excellency, I, Your Highness Prince Shang, am willing to marry the Princess, but your Excellency, please don't even think about it!"
Jiuyi naturally heard it and couldn't help but say, "You!"
Feng Zhaoyun stopped...
Feng Zhaoyun smiled, "Young Master is right. Prince Shang is indeed the best man. My figure... is naturally not worthy of him."
Meng Youli smiled perfunctorily, nodded, walked forward and continued to lead the way.
Jiuyi, "Master, this thief is really abominable, do you need a subordinate?"
Feng Zhaoyun said, "What's so hateful about him? He's right. I shouldn't have had such a desire for him."
Hearing this, Jiuyi was a little dissatisfied. She looked around cautiously, making sure no one heard, and then whispered, "But Master, you are the future goddess. It is normal for you to have multiple husbands. The few around you are really too few."
Feng Zhaoyun twitched the corner of his mouth...
Feng Zhaoyun, "You actually care about me..."
Jiuyi clasped his fists and said, "Master, everything I have, I will protect until my death!"
Feng Zhaoyun:........
But it's strange that Jinzhi knows the purpose of his actions, so why has the evil spirit Bai Mohan been silent for a long time and there is no news.
Feng Zhaoyun said, "Jiuyi, is there no news from the Shang Kingdom's Princess Mansion?"
Jiuyi, "My Lord, everything is normal."
Weird.
Feng Zhaoyun asked, "Then Bai Mohan didn't... cause trouble?"
Jiuyi understood. It turned out that he wanted to ask about Cejun's news. "My Lord, Cejun was poisoned by A Zi and A Hua a long time ago. I guess... he hasn't been cured yet."
After hearing this, Feng Zhaoyun couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh, causing everyone to turn around and look at her.
Good! Bai Mohan had been using A Zi to compete with Bai Jinzhi for favor, but now he has fallen into the trap of his good sister, A Zi.
When I thought about how angry Bai Mohan would be when he woke up, I wanted to laugh.
Outside the palace gate, the carriage was already waiting.
Meng Youli personally stepped forward and lifted the carriage curtain, "Sir, please come in."
Several people got on the carriage, three of them sat on each side of the carriage, while Zhuqing and Jiuyi rode on both sides.
Inside the carriage, Meng Youli looked at Xiao Qingyue without any concealment.
Xiao Qingyue naturally noticed it, "Master Meng, why are you staring at me?"
This was the first time Meng Youli sat so close to Xiao Qingyue. They were both men, so why was this guy so...
Handsome.
He was so lucky to be the emperor's husband, second only to the emperor himself. Now that Nangong Liuying was dead, he was able to go back with the people of Shang State and escape unscathed.
And this woman is most likely a princess...
Meng Youli smiled back, "I just think that Emperor Xiao is really lucky. As expected, having a good appearance makes people pity him."
There was a hint of provocation in his words. He knew that Nangong Shang disliked Xiao Qingyue, so he did so on purpose.
Feng Zhaoyun frowned slightly and was about to speak.
Xiao Qingyue said gently, "No matter what, I have to thank Master Meng for his help. Only then can I return to my homeland."
He didn't wait for any harsh words. Seeing his gentle demeanor, Meng Youli was a little angry. What was he pretending for? "I heard that Emperor Xiao was almost betrothed to the current princess in Shang State. The emperor thought that since you are the abandoned husband of another country and are returning, would the princess even look at you? Those two princes of the Bai family of Yan State are of first-class appearance and status. How can you... compare?"
Feng Zhaoyun watched Meng Youli target Xiao Qingyue so harshly and finally became angry. "Mr. Meng, you're so sarcastic and mean. I think you'll have trouble getting married in the future. Don't worry about Mr. Xiao! Just take care of yourself first."
Looking at Xiao Qingyue again, he saw that he was looking sideways out the car window and did not continue to pay attention to Meng Youli, but the disappointment between his eyebrows could not be concealed no matter how hard he tried to hide it.
Meng Youli was angry and knew that her identity must be extraordinary. He did not dare to argue with her and could only give up.
He didn't like Xiao Qingyue because he was Nangong Liuying's favorite queen, and it was also because of him that His Royal Highness Prince Shang had been depressed these days. He knew it was because of this person.
In Yue Country, if Nangong Shang had not protected him, he would have died at the hands of everyone.
Feng Zhaoyun saw Xiao Qingyue's lost expression and spoke to comfort her, "Qingyue, don't worry. I'll take care of everything when we return to Shang Country."
Xiao Qingyue looked at her, "I wonder... what kind of people are Her Highness the Crown Princess's principal and concubine...?"
Xiao Qingyue asked this question with trepidation and timidity, but he really wanted to know. Every word Meng Youli said was like a knife stabbing into his heart.
Feng Zhaoyun was slightly stunned. "The Crown Princess is a very good person, and the Concubine... is also a good person... right?"
Xiao Qingyue's eyes half closed, "Your Highness is truly blessed... to have these two husbands."
Feng Zhaoyun was about to comfort her when the voice of the guards came from outside the carriage.
This is the gate of the imperial city.
Meng Youli lifted the carriage curtain and showed the King Shang's token, "Open the door quickly."
The gatekeeper saw it and clasped his fists, "Yes, open the door!"
The city gates opened and the convoy left the city.
Everything went well.
Xiao Qingyue looked out the window and saw that they had left the imperial city. He smiled with relief. It didn't matter. As long as he could leave this place and be with Her Royal Highness, he would be willing to be a slave.
Meng Youli looked at Feng Zhaoyun and said, "I am following the order of His Royal Highness Prince Shang to personally escort you to the border. Your Excellency, please rest assured."
Feng Zhaoyun nodded.
