C128 (1/2)
”Xiaowan, where are we going next?” Just then, Lian Yi got off the carriage, and seeing that she was standing motionlessly, she walked over and asked, ”Are you alright?”
Xiaowan shook her head and said, ”It's nothing, I just suddenly felt like it …”
She did not say those words. If she said them, no one would believe her. The onlookers would only think that it was her longing that caused the disease.
The Uncle Biao replied, ”Let's go to the shop where Ershan is staying. The people there are familiar with him, so we can gather more information.”
Therefore, she got on the horse carriage again and headed towards the inn. Looking at the scenery along the street, Susu had told her before that the buildings in the capital were higher than the Baisha Town, and the streets in the capital were wider than the Baisha Town …
”Look, Xiaowan Palace.” Lian Yi pointed in the distance, ”Is that the Imperial Palace?”
”It's a pity that I can't see anything. This city wall is even taller than the one I just saw.” The Xiaowan muttered to herself, ”Are the Emperor and the others all afraid of death?”
The Uncle Biao was once a imperial guard and was very familiar with the Imperial City. He told Lian Yi and the Xiaowan, ”There is a moat outside the Imperial City, you are correct.
Xiaowan did not say anything. She felt a breeze blow her black hair away, causing her to gently stroke it. She subconsciously turned her face to look.
Ling Chaofeng was right beside her, he had gently caressed her hair just now, her wife had lost weight, and she could no longer laugh, the once quick-witted and lively young lady had disappeared.
In the past, she would throw herself into his arms and act coquettishly every day. If there was anything good to eat, she would give it to him with one bite. She would beg for forgiveness faster than anyone else.
She said she couldn't think of anything else in the world that was worth getting angry about or sad about. As long as he was there, everything was fine.
But he was gone, and she couldn't see him even when she was beside him.
But at this moment, Xiaowan's hand reached over and ”touched” Ling Chaofeng's chin. It was unknown if it was a coincidence or if she could feel it, but it actually touched his face accurately.
”Hubby …” Xiaowan read it in a daze, and her tears flowed again.
Ling Chaofeng's hand covered Xiaowan's hand. ”Evening, I'm here.”
Xiaowan's eyes lightly flickered, but her husband's face was not reflected. Her heart felt that her husband seemed to be right beside her, but she could not see, and could not reach out to touch him.
The carriage stopped, they had arrived, and explained their origins to the shopkeeper. When the shopkeeper saw that the description of Uncle Biao and his appearance was exactly the same as what Ershan had mentioned, he believed them immediately.
The house was neat and tidy, only the desk was piled with books, but when people went in, the house owner said that he did not see Ershan back after that day.
This time, it was Lian Yi's turn to shed tears. They had been looking for a way here and there, feeling disappointed and frustrated time and again.
”Where did you go …” Lian Yi found a stack of letters she had written for Ershan on the desk. From the initial inn to the recent correspondence, every single one of them were precious to him. She even carefully tore open the envelopes.
”There aren't many empty rooms in the inn. If the ladies could please take care of things for a moment, the two of you will share a room with me. I'm sorry, but I can't spare more rooms.” The innkeeper said.
This was the most prosperous place in the capital, so it would be terrible if there was no business here, just like their Ling Xiao Inn.
”It's already very good. Shopkeeper, sorry to trouble you.” The Xiaowan thanked him and took out the silver and handed it over to the shopkeeper. After giving it to each other, the storekeeper took them to another room and left.
Xiaowan placed his sleeping son on the bed and softly said, ”Why is this little thing still sleeping?”
However, she did not know that at this moment, her husband was by her side, while Little Pei, in order to not let her mother find out, had concealed his Golden Light and Immortal body.
Ling Chaofeng could not leave the stone statue for too long, his immortal soul would lure the demons over here. If he stayed by Xiaowan's side, the demons might attack him together with the others.
”You have to be fine tonight. I can see you directly from the capital. Don't be afraid, I won't let anyone hurt you.”
Along the way, father and son didn't say a word. When his soul returned to his body, Little Pei said, ”Father, don't worry, I will protect mother.”
As soon as he finished his words, someone on a horse galloped towards the Imperial Palace, dismounted from his horse and unarmored it before the doors of the palace. He then strided into the Imperial City with his head held high, and Little Pei said: ”Father, this General Wei has been following us the entire way, he seems to be protecting Mother. Father, did he fall in love with his mother? ”
Ling Chaofeng replied: ”You're just a little kid, and you know all this?”
Little Pei churned in the sky as he laughed, ”Father, I am a god after all. But Mom didn't even look at him. Mom seemed to hate him a lot.
”Alright, quickly go back to your mother. Little Pei, you definitely cannot tell me about this. Otherwise, you will have to go back to the Heavenly Court and be separated from your mother forever. ” Ling Chaofeng warned again, ”Your mother is very smart, you have to be careful.”
