Bai Guo lazily leaned against Pang Yang and said an unclear 'hmm', and then said: "It's impossible to regret it now, right?"
Pang Yang suddenly held Ging Guo's hand tighter and did not let go for a long time, as if he wanted Ging Guo to take back his words.
Bai Guo also tightened his hold on Pang Yang's hand, "The road ahead of us is not going to be easy, what do you think, Brother Pang Yang?"
"It's good to go." Pang Yang's voice was always thick, especially when it sounded in his ears, it was even more solemn.
Bai Guo laughed, "How is it possible..."
"The hardest part has been overcome." Pang Yang's voice was lower, but the distance between the two was too close. When Bai Guo first heard it, he thought Pang Yang was talking about the past few months in Lezhou, but he kept it like this. Slowly walking until the sun set and left half of the sky with colorful clouds, Bai Guo suddenly woke up from the long memory and asked: "Brother Pang Yang is talking about the past?"
That was a time when I was about to be overwhelmed by countless trivial matters.
This was the most painful period for Pang Yang and the most cruel period for Ginkgo.
Pang Yang had already left the previous topic. He didn't react when he heard Bai Guo's words. His voice was not very clear, "Huh?" ’ made a sound.
This sound was a bit sultry. Ginguo raised her head to look at Pang Yang, but the hair ornament poked Pang Yang's chin and pushed it down. Gingo lowered her head in boredom and felt a weight on her shoulders. Pang Yang asked her: "Why?" Already?"
Pang Yang was already tall, and putting his head on her shoulders would make his back arch. This was nothing in private, but...
Bai Guo looked at Pang Yang sideways, "Brother Pang Yang, don't you want to protect your own image?"
No matter what they do secretly, the officials in Kyoto appear to be personable and worthy of their responsibilities.
In comparison, Pang Yang is much more casual and bold.
Ging Guo's eyes were high at the end, and when he looked at the smiling eyes from the side, he always felt that he was being charmed. Pang Yang, who was calm and unhurried in front of the army and never took a step back in front of the enemy, suddenly felt his heart beat faster.
"I don't want to." Pang Yang said this but he still straightened up, but he was still asking: "What did Miss Third want to see just now?"
"Of course it's Brother Pang Yang." Bai Guo replied naturally, not paying much attention to Pang Yang's lack of reply.
At this time, they were walking and stopping along the way. They could have returned to Kyoto in more than half a month. They only arrived at the outskirts of Kyoto at the end of November. Gingo's eyes did not need to look much to see the distant mountains overlooking Kyoto. .
But it was just this glance, and there was no emotion when it was taken back.
When he entered the capital, the prince and his officials greeted him, and the people dressed up to see him.
Prince Gong and Prince Li who have not been seen for a long time, Prince Dingxi who visited Kyoto a month ago, Prince An and Prince Jing who replaced Prince Gong and Prince Li in Kyoto, and Shi Shi who was only three years old when Ginger entered the palace. The prince also stood behind the prince.
It's just that Prince Gong's expression was haggard and could not hide the hardships of these days. Prince Li looked like he was no longer as arrogant and brainless as before, and he seemed to be somewhat restrained.
What made Bai Guo look over the moment she entered the city gate was that she saw Xuan Yuyan.
Xuan Yuyan was also looking at Bai Guo when Bai Guo looked over, and she immediately noticed that Bai Guo and Pang Yang were riding on the same horse in such a high-profile manner.
Xuan Yuyan's expression was a little strange, but more of a wry smile.
Now, even if Supervisor Bai wants to be with the Governor, who can blatantly and directly refute it?
Her father had single-handedly brought the two of them to their current high positions. Now...it depends on what her father thinks.
The officials and the princes also had strange looks on their faces, but it took a short time for the officials, who were well-trained in front of the common people and the unfazed army, to adjust their expressions.
But no one expected that at this moment in Kyoto, there would suddenly be a clear sound of the footsteps of the cavalry and the sound of gongs and drums clearing the road. Everyone turned around and saw the emperor in ordinary clothes on a sweaty horse!
After all, the officials reacted faster than the people. In an instant, they knelt down and shouted, "See the Emperor."
The people also quickly reacted and knelt on the ground, and for a while the sounds of worship continued from all around.
Wearing ordinary clothes, Xuan Xian didn't appear to be much thinner than before, but a cursory glance made people feel that he didn't look as frail as the rumors said that he would leave everything to the prince.
Ging Guo was helped off the horse by Pang Yang.
She had been gone for too long, and had not seen Xuanxian for too long. At this moment, she could clearly feel the difference between Xuanxian and her memory.
"I've suffered." Xuanxian's voice was calm and authoritative, but at this time, everyone could only hear concern.
Ging Guo shook his head, "It's not bitter."
The briskness of the month along the way has already dissipated the restlessness and fatigue of those days and nights. Looking back now, I feel that it is just another threshold.
Xuan Xian nodded, looked at Bai Guo and said, "Accompany me back to the palace."
Xuanxian's appearance surprised the prince and many princes. Among them, Xuan Yuyan knew Xuanxian's body best. At this time, the people on the horse looked worried.
But she couldn't show it.
A weak king will only attract countless hyenas.
Ging Guo saluted and got on another empty horse next to him, and Pang Yang walked side by side with Ging Guo.
The war in Hongliang Kingdom is still going on, but Pang Yang did not return to the palace after he retired from the battlefield due to injuries, so it was time to make up for it together.
Bai Guo, Pang Yang and other important ministers all gathered in the imperial study. Bai Guo told everything he knew about Lezhou. After that, he listened to those people discussing what should be done in Lezhou to restore its former prosperity and how to eliminate this problem. The impact of the incident on Lezhou.
Bai Guo was no longer very interested in these things. At this moment, he heard Xuan Xian say: "You go back to Bai's house first. The banquet will be in two days."
Bai Guo subconsciously looked at Pang Yang, who had not spoken until now, and then at Xuan Xian, who obviously attached great importance to this matter in Lezhou.
"Now he is the Grand Governor."
Xuan Xian's words were not very clear, but Bai Guo nodded and left with Pang Yang's 'reassured' eyes.
When she left the palace door, she saw Xuan Yuyan waiting at the door. If the two of them had said a few words at this time, they would have dispersed, but Xuan Yuyan stepped forward to support Bai Guo as soon as she saw her. she.
Bai Guo looked at Xuan Yuyan, who was slightly shorter than her, strangely, and then said, "I can go."
Xuan Yuyan said: "I know, but I want to talk to you."
Bai Guo thought that Xuan Yuyan wanted to ask about the situation in Lezhou, or to warn her not to be too arrogant, but she did not expect that what Xuan Yuyan said was: "Dishengliang is raised very well in Huipingzhou. From spring to autumn this year, we have cultivated seeds that can be planted in large areas. If everything goes well, there should be countless fields that can be planted next year."
Countless people will be able to have enough to eat.
"My fourth sister and niece are all there to take care of me. Supervisor Bai can rest assured and sleep for a while while asking for this news."
Xuan Yuyan didn't speak in detail, but she told Bai Guo all the news that Bai Guo wanted to know most.
"Prince Gong has been silent for several years, but now that he comes out with Prince Li, he will obviously make new moves. I am afraid that he has already found out about the body of the father..."
Xuan Yuyan did not finish speaking, and her expression was still calm.
Bai Guo couldn't imagine how many days and nights it would take to accept this matter to this point, but at this time she didn't know what to say.
She felt that she had only gone out for a few days, but in fact when she came back, she felt that everything was different.
"Your Majesty..." Bai Guo's voice had no meaning, and Xuan Yuyan smiled, "The imperial doctor dare not tell the truth. The imperial doctor can only do his best. Only Supervisor Bai's father and the Bai family are really looking for the prescription. .”
The Bai family seems to be doing this every generation when looking for and writing prescriptions, and the end point of every generation of the Xuan family will also be the Bai family.
"It's just that my father's body is different from Lezhou's. Life and death are determined by destiny. Which one can live long in the coming years? Life, old age, illness and death, who can be sure that he will not be next?"
Xuan Yuyan could sense that Bai Guo's eyes were on her, and she smiled, "These words were comforted by my father."
"You don't need to be in too much pain." Xuan Yuyan smiled, "The imperial doctor hinted before, there should be more..."
Xuan Yuyan's eyes became wet unconsciously, "About a year."
As soon as he said these words, Bai Guo's footsteps were knocked down, and he was so heavy that he couldn't lift him up for a second time.
Xuan Yuyan was still smiling, but tears were sliding down her cheeks. "Fortunately, the matter in Lezhou is over. My father will not leave with heartache."
Gingguo couldn't express his feelings for a while, and he couldn't describe his depression.
"Forget it, let's talk about something else... Your current official position is already at the top, but your title has reached a height that ordinary people can't even imagine. What reward do you think my father will give you this time?"
Xuan Yuyan turned back to look at Bai Guo's expression.
In fact, they knew some things well.
For example, what reward are they more in need of now than getting married?
For example, can Gingguo's official position really go up now?
Bai Guo smiled, "I don't know, but it won't shake the foundation."
Now the emperor's body has declined greatly. Even if the prince has some tricks, the emperor is still pressing on him. If that day comes, will the prince be able to stabilize when everyone's thoughts are surging?
No one knows, so the emperor will not add any more points to the current chaotic situation.
"It's good that Supervisor Bai understands."
If the foundation is not shaken, then Gingguo will have no intention of continuing to move up, and he will have no intention of joining forces with other courtiers.
Xuan Yuyan took advantage of the situation and saluted, "I won't give it away, so Supervisor Bai can leave."
Bai Guo returned the favor and left along the palace road.
The Bai family didn't know how long they had been looking forward to the ginkgo. After waiting for the ginkgo, there was naturally a big commotion, and everyone in the first and second rooms was very happy.
The commotion continued until it was almost dawn, and the old lady couldn't stand it any longer and fell asleep. Only then did Ginkgo and others leave.
But in the dead of night in the quiet courtyard, Ging Guo couldn't fall asleep. The half-cup of cold tea that made her fingers stiffened slid down her throat, but it made her head sober.
Life and death matter...
Which one can live longer?
The words that were shouted out again and again turned out to be so absurd, but how many people's wishes and prayers were this absurdity?
