Chapter 214 Change of Heart
Seeing that she was so pitiful, Wan Qing's heart softened. She took back her sword and said coldly, "For the time being, I believe you must. This is a big event about the national fortune. If you dare to say half a word, I will not spare you when I come back."
"Yes, yes, yes, yes!" The woman kept trembling, and Jing Li smiled. No wonder the woman kept shaking when she was supporting the boat. She thought she was cold, but it seemed to be scared.
"Let's go! Don't embarrass her." Jing Li said something, and then pulled the horse out of the boat. Zhou Zhichao also took the horse, and the three of them left in the direction of Kyoto. At this time, Zhou Zhichao frowned, looked at Jing Li's dress, and said unhappily, "Your Majesty, you are the king of a country. No matter how disguised yourself, you can't pretend to be a man. This What kind of style is it?"
"What about pretending to be a man? And I don't want to be recognized because I'm dressed up as a man, don't you think so?
Wan Qing smiled and said, "The emperor has a special hobby. It's not the first time for a woman to dress up as a man. Master, you can get used to it. When I first saw the emperor, she was a woman dressed as a man."
That night, Qing talked about the situation when they first met. The three of them couldn't help smiling, and then grabbed the reins together and ran away.
In the palace! He didn't dare to look at Jing Feng. He ran over and grabbed his skirt and shouted, "Isn't it? Are you talking about it once? Did the emperor leave the palace? How can you let her out of the palace?"
Jing Feng whispered, "She is the emperor. What is she going to do? How can I stop her? If I can stop her, do I still need to ask you for help?"
He picked up the long sword and walked quickly to the door. He suddenly turned his head and said coldly, "Protecting the emperor is my life's responsibility, but isn't it your responsibility to protect the emperor? You are pushing everything now. Where did the Jing Feng I know go at the beginning? Is it different to be a concubine?"
Jing Feng smiled coldly. He whispered before he stepped out of the door, "Jing Feng is still the original Jing Feng, but the emperor has changed. The emperor doesn't need such Jing Feng."
Yi Dao's body suddenly paused and looked back. He saw a helpless smile on the corners of Jing Feng's mouth. It seemed that since the emperor woke up, he really didn't care about Jing Feng as before. Yi Dao's heart was also quite sad. Before dodging, he still left a sentence saying, "If there is anything, my first time. I'll let you know."
Four days later, Kyoto!
Because of the relocation of the palace, it was not as prosperous as the original in just a few days. When Jing Li and others came to the capital, it was also at dusk, and there was no such a scene of people on the streets of Kyoto. The quietness made people a little cool, and the three of them undoubtedly came to the Penglai Inn for accommodation.
The store owner dozed off there with nothing to do. Zhou Zhichao walked over, reached out and shook the shopkeeper's arm gently. The shopkeeper immediately bounced up. Seeing that it was Zhou Zhichao, he thought it was like a dream and pinched his face hard.
"Aunuch, it's me, Chaoer!" Zhou Zhichao smiled. Although he was also very happy to laugh, he smiled with his fairy wind. The smile was a little ethereal, but now this smile was full of childishness. Jing Li stood and watched them chatting there without saying a word.
The shopkeeper seemed to believe that it was true until now. She quickly rubbed her eyes, put her arms around Zhou Zhichao's neck, and said repeatedly, "Chuier, it's really you, it's really you!"
"Well, it's me, it's me!" Zhou Zhichao also looked excited. Jing Li knew that they were related, and he was not surprised. At this time, Zhou Zhichao, who was anxious, hurriedly asked, "Aunuch, has my mother come to you?"
"You...your mother?" Auntie hurriedly rubbed her arms and shook her head like a wave drum and said, "Superer, don't scare your aunt. Your mother... Didn't she die early?"
"No, no, you see... This is my mother's handwritten poem, which she handed to the emperor in person... Er, Mr. Huang, so I thought my mother must still be alive, so I asked you if you saw it."
Only then did the shopkeeper really understand. She hurriedly shook her head and said, "If that's the case, your mother should come to this inn to look for us. How can she be alone?"
"My mother has never been here?" Although he heard the negative answer, Zhou Zhichao didn't seem to believe it and asked again. The shopkeeper nodded solemnly and said, "I've never been here!"
At this time, Wan Qing looked at them talking and couldn't say anything new. She stepped forward and whispered, "Auntie, please order someone to clean up the hut in the bamboo forest in the backyard. The three of us will live in the bamboo garden behind."
"Oh, what do you do when you live in a bamboo garden? Now that the palace has been moved away, there is no business in this inn. It will be gone forever. If you want to live, just live in a Tianzi-size room, one room per person. How nice it is.
Zhou Zhichao looked back at Jing Li and asked her what she meant. Jing Li shook her head with a smile and said, "Just follow Miss Wanqing's words. Although Room No. 1 of Tianzi is good, it is more quiet in the bamboo forest. Thank you, aunt."
"Hey, no trouble, no trouble!" The shopkeeper answered and immediately ordered someone to tidy it out. At this time, Zhou Zhichao saw that it was late and was busy saying goodbye to the shopkeeper. The three of them didn't have time to eat, so they walked to the street of the lantern riddle that Jing Li once said.
In the past, this street was very lively and crowded, but now it is really different from the past. There are not many people in the whole street, let alone the people who set up stalls. Zhou Zhichao stood alone in the middle of the street, looked at the front and looked back, and the confusion in his eyes was like Like the same lost child, Jing Li felt quite uncomfortable when he saw it.
She walked over, hugged half of Zhou Zhichao's arm, and whispered, "Zhichao, don't be sad. Maybe it's still a little early. She will come in a while."
"Maybe... she's not in Kyoto anymore!" Wan Qing whispered and squatted beside Zhou Zhichao. Her words made everyone's hearts sink little by little. Zhou Zhichao held his head tightly, and then buried it between his legs. The three people squatted pitifully to the side of the street, and no one spoke.
What can we do if it goes on like this? Jing Li stood up. At this time, a pedestrian happened to pass by. Jing Li hurried forward and stopped the man and asked, "Hello, do you know the woman who guessed the lantern riddle on this street a month and a half ago?"
