A caravan slowly approached the gate of the imperial capital. The curtain of the carriage was opened, and a little head poked out. His big bright eyes looked curiously at everything outside the car.
"Mom, this wall is so high. It's the highest wall Huanhuan has ever seen." Huanhuan smiled all over her face.
"General, mother, this is the general." At this moment, Yunjing galloped past on horseback. Huanhuan recognized Yunjing at a glance and shouted happily. However, it was very noisy outside at this time, and Yunjing did not hear Huanhuan's shouts.
Hearing Huanhuan's shouts, a woman in the car looked outside. Although she only saw a back figure, she felt that this back figure was very familiar.
"It's been five years, how are you?" The woman looked outside the car and muttered to herself.
"Mom, who is this?" Huanhuan asked curiously after hearing the woman muttering to herself.
"I heard that there are a lot of delicious food in the Imperial Capital. Would you like Huanhuan to eat?" the woman looked at Huanhuan and asked.
"Yes, Huanhuan wants to eat a lot." Huanhuan said with a smile on her face.
Soon, the caravan entered the city and stopped in front of an inn. The two women got off the carriage with Huanhuan.
"Boss Liu, long time no see." A man walked out of the inn and said happily.
"Mr. Jiang, why are you here?" Boss Liu asked in surprise when he saw the man.
"I heard that you were coming to the Imperial Capital, so I have been waiting here. After two years of separation, Boss Liu's business is getting bigger and bigger." Mr. Jiang said with a smile.
"How did Young Master Jiang know that Yunqing would arrive in the Imperial Capital today?" Boss Liu was Liu Yunqing. She didn't seem to tell anyone that she would arrive in the Imperial Capital today.
"How can I have such great magical powers? Since I received the news that you are coming to the Imperial Capital, I have estimated the date of your arrival in the Imperial Capital. In order to see you as soon as possible, I have stayed here for ten days. Your inn The business is so good, I'm even a little jealous." Mr. Jiang said with a smile.
"Mother, Huanhuan is hungry." At this moment, Huanhuan suddenly said.
"I just want to talk. You go and put your luggage first. I'll book a single room in the Four Seasons Building for you to take in the wind and wash away the dust." Mr. Jiang said with a smile.
"Then Mr. Lao Jiang is here. Please wait for Mr. Jiang for a moment." Liu Yunqing saluted Mr. Jiang and walked into the inn.
Liu Yunqing brought Huanhuan to the room, changed her clothes, and walked out. Soon, a few people arrived at the single room in the Four Seasons Building, and the waiter brought the menu.
"No need to look at the menu. Let's serve all the special dishes in your store." Mr. Jiang said grandly without looking at the menu.
"There's no need to spend so much money. There are only a few of us and we can't eat too much. Just order a few dishes." Liu Yunqing quickly stopped him.
"It doesn't cost any money. This is your first meal in the imperial capital. Of course it has to be grand." As Young Master Jiang spoke, he waved the waiter to leave.
"Then thank you Mr. Jiang." Liu Yunqing stopped being pretentious. She also wanted to try more dishes from the Imperial Capital.
"Boss Liu came to the Imperial Capital this time to have some fun, or is he planning to shift his focus to the Imperial Capital?" Mr. Jiang asked after the waiter left.
"I haven't thought about it yet, but I have plans to shift my focus to the imperial capital. After all, this is what I have always wanted to do." Liu Yunqing said truthfully.
"Yun Qing, there is something I didn't tell you before, but now that you have come to the imperial capital, you will definitely know it. I will tell you today." Mr. Jiang's expression suddenly became serious.
"What's going on? Mr. Jiang is so serious." Liu Yunqing asked curiously.
"Actually, actually, he died five years ago." Mr. Jiang said hesitantly.
"Master Jiang, don't be joking. He just made great achievements five years ago, and he has the help of Prince Ning'an. How could he die?" Liu Yunqing didn't believe it at all.
"He asked the emperor to take back the imperial edict of marriage, which angered the emperor and was thrown into prison. King Ning'an exposed him for killing Shi Wei, the minister of the Ministry of War, and the emperor killed him with a stick in front of the palace. "Mr. Jiang made things simple. Tell Liu Yunqing clearly.
"Haitang, take Huanhuan out first." Liu Yunqing said to Haitang.
"Mom, Huanhuan hasn't eaten yet." Huanhuan reminded.
"Huanhuan, be obedient. Aunt Tang will take you to buy delicious food." Haitang said to Huanhuan gently.
"Then Huanhuan wants to eat a lot of delicious food." Huanhuan stood up and followed Haitang outside.
After Huanhuan left, Liu Yunqing could no longer hold back her tears. She thought about it for five years, waited for five years, and finally had the courage to come see him. Unexpectedly, no one heard the news of his death without seeing him. She loved him so much and just wanted him to live and have a bright future, so she reluctantly left. But in the end, he still died. If she had known this outcome, she would rather die with him.
"Where was he buried?" Liu Yunqing asked with choked sobs.
"I heard that Zhao Tan sent people to search for his body in the mass grave for several days, but his body was not found. Only a tomb was erected," Mr. Jiang said.
"There is no body, so is it possible that he is still alive? He is definitely still alive, definitely still alive." Liu Yunqing didn't believe that Xia Jingyao died like this.
"At that time, all the civil and military officials and the emperor were at the execution site. It is certain that he is dead. The body must have been secretly buried by others. After all, many people in the Imperial Guard admire him. You should forget about him. He is really dead." Mr. Jiang immediately shattered Liu Yunqing's dream.
"He won't die. I will wait for him to appear in the imperial capital." Liu Yunqing said firmly, wiping away his tears after speaking.
"Sorry, Mr. Jiang, I have to leave first. I will make amends to Mr. Jiang another day." Liu Yunqing stood up, saluted Mr. Jiang, and left the room.
As soon as they came out of the single room, they saw Haitang and Huanhuan sitting not far away, and Huanhuan was eating cakes.
"Let's go back to the inn." Liu Yunqing came to Huanhuan, bent down and hugged Huanhuan.
"Mother, why are your eyes red? Are you crying?" Huanhuan held the cake in one hand and touched Liu Yunqing's face with the other.
"My mother didn't cry. Just now, a small flying insect flew into my mother's eyes. My mother had already chased it away. Liu Yunqing smiled.
"Mother, these pastries are not enough for Huanhuan. Huanhuan wants to eat meat." Huanhuan is obviously really hungry.
"I have already ordered the food just now. They have prepared it and will deliver it to the inn." Haitang explained from the side.
"Little greedy cat, did you hear what Aunt Tang said? You can eat meat in a while." Liu Yunqing hugged Huanhuan and left the Four Seasons Building and walked towards the inn.
There was originally a carriage, but Liu Yunqing suddenly wanted to hold Huanhuan and walk back step by step. Only by holding her tightly like this could Liu Yunqing feel at ease. Parting is always unexpected, like when she left the Hou Mansion, or when she suddenly heard the news of Xia Jingyao's death today. In these years, she stayed away from the imperial capital, suppressing her emotions and preventing herself from asking about Xia Jingyao. She was afraid that once she heard the news about Xia Jingyao, she would desperately go to the imperial capital to find him.
Liu Yunqing thought of the time she spent with Xia Jingyao, and her tears fell silently again. In the past five years, she had fantasized about meeting Xia Jingyao countless times. But I never thought that the original farewell would become an eternal farewell. On that winter morning, the back figure was fixed in my eyes. When Huanhuan saw Liu Yunqing crying, she reached out her hand and gently helped Liu Yunqing wipe it away. Huanhuan seemed to feel Liu Yunqing's sadness. After wiping away Liu Yunqing's tears, Huanhuan hugged Liu Yunqing tightly.
