After making up her mind, Chu Yi did not mention the matter again. She had more important things to do.
I'm about to prepare to leave for Dachu, but I don't want to spoil my mood because of these things. I'll wait until I get back.
I believe that Xiao Zhi will bring that original intention to him. At that time, I am very curious what he will say. Does he want to stay by his side because he looks like the person from before, Aiwujiwu?
Or is she just an ordinary palace maid that she likes and wants to stay by her side because she thinks she serves her well?
The second reason was too childish and absurd, but I knew very well that the only real reason was the first.
Sure enough, Xiao Zhi still couldn't forget her in his heart, even if it was just a similar-looking substitute, he still wanted to stay by his side.
"Princess, this is a peace blessing sent by someone from the palace. It is said to wish the princess a safe journey!"
Yuexiang thought for a long time and decided to send the thing over. Whether the princess accepted it or not, whether she liked it or not, she had to let her know.
"Since it is His Highness's wish, then accept it."
Chu Yi smiled and returned to her calm demeanor, no longer as explosive as the day she first got the news.
I have been a princess for several years, how can I always have such a indulgent and willful temper? I have to learn to be patient when I should be patient.
"yes."
Yuexiang randomly stuffed Ping'an Fu into a package. Three days later it was the day of departure, and everything he needed to bring was ready.
Especially the princess, who personally went to select some specialties of Northern Qi in the past two days, and wanted to bring them to the Chu Palace for the Queen Mother and Her Majesty to see. She has not been back for three years, and she did not expect that it has been so long.
When the day of departure actually arrived, Chu Yi finally felt a sincere joy that she had not felt for a long time.
I wish that this journey would be faster, and I want to return to Chu Palace to see my relatives as soon as possible. I haven't seen them in almost three years.
Memories of the past gradually came to mind, how happy I was when I was the princess of Chu State.
I feel that I am carefree, I can do whatever I want, and I am surrounded by people who love me.
After becoming a princess, I realized why there were so many things to deal with every day. Facing my cold and cold husband, and the many concubines in the backyard, I really felt exhausted.
Sitting on the carriage, Chu Yi lifted the curtain and looked outside. She was still in Beiqi, and it was estimated that she would have to walk for another two or three days to reach the border of Chu State.
It's coming soon! It's coming soon!
"It's been a long time since I've sent a reply. I had someone send me a letter half a month before departure. I think the Queen Mother and Her Majesty are waiting for the Princess!"
Yuexiang held Chu Yi's hand excitedly. She was also very happy. Chu country was also her hometown. How could she not be happy now that she could finally go back?
"Um!"
Chu Yi happily looked at the scene outside the carriage. After going out for a walk, she felt much better. She always stayed in the square world of the palace and felt extremely depressed.
Now she will no longer recall those irritating things, nor Xiao Zhi, nor Shen Minghui, nor that original intention. All the people who made her unhappy should disappear!
Tao Yong, who was riding a horse in front, glanced behind him and happened to see Chu Yi sticking her head out to look out of the carriage, with a happy smile on her face.
What a pretty smile.
His Highness had told him to escort the princess well all the way. In fact, he knew that he must protect the safety of the princess and make her return to Chu happily without any explanation.
Chu Yi had a strong desire to return to Chu State, and she kept going all the way. At night, she finally reached the border of Chu State.
Yuexiang accompanied Chu Yi out of the carriage, took a handkerchief and put it on the grass, held her hand and sat down.
"This is the border between the two countries, and we are going to Chu State soon."
Chu Yi looked into the distance with a look of longing. The front was her real home, and she hadn't gone back to see it for several years.
"Yes, all these days of traveling and hard work are finally worth it. The princess can finally see her relatives."
Yuexiang said distressedly, in fact, she was more worried about what the princess would say after meeting the Queen Mother and His Majesty. Would she say that she had been unhappy in the past few years, and that she and His Majesty were not in love?
"I know what you are worried about. I have already thought about what you are thinking about."
Chu Yi looked at the ground quietly. At this moment, she felt that the air was particularly fresh. When she reached a wider place, she no longer had that depressing feeling.
"Since it was my choice in the first place, I will naturally have to bear the consequences of all this. How can I make my mother and brother worry about me after I go back?
What's more, if I suppress my temper, I can still live with His Highness. No matter what he does to me, his appearance is slowly getting better. "
Chu Yi smiled bitterly and said, yes, no matter what, her relationship with Xiao Zhi has gradually improved. They no longer argue incessantly as soon as they meet. If they control their emotions, they will actually get along well. Not bad.
But the appearance of that original intention gave her a blow, making her feel that everything was so ridiculous.
I thought that dead people would no longer be an obstacle, but I didn't expect that someone so similar would appear.
"The princess has really grown up a lot."
Yuexiang felt distressed and aggrieved. She was so happy when she was unmarried and became a princess. She didn't have to worry about anything, but she watched him become like this.
How can I have the face to face the Queen Mother after I return?
Tao Yong was sitting in the distance, looking at Chu Yi intentionally or unintentionally. He saw her looking sad and aggrieved and lowering her head, and wanted to go up and comfort her.
But now, taking into account his identity, he still stood where he was, with so many people watching around him!
Sometimes he couldn't figure out what His Highness was thinking. He might say that he liked the princess, but he often didn't go back, saying that he didn't like it. However, he still asked him to come and pick her up in person, and even told her to send her there safely. bring back.
But think about it, even if such a flower-like beauty really can't have much emotion, she still has a heart of pity. Is it possible that she can really put people aside coldly?
Thinking of this, I felt slightly uncomfortable and took a few sips of the wine from the flask.
When the motorcade passed by the foot of a mountain the next day, Chu Yi felt uncomfortable and dizzy, so Yuexiang hurried out and asked everyone to stop.
"What happened to the princess?"
Tao Yong personally dismounted and came to the outside of Chu Yi's carriage, asking worriedly.
This is a mountain road at the foot of the mountain. The carriage is bumping. The princess's body is fragile and she can't bear it. This is indeed normal, so she should stop for a while before leaving.
"I feel dizzy and uncomfortable. Stop for a while before walking!"
Chu Yi covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief. The nausea became stronger and stronger, almost as if she was about to vomit.
The mountain road was rugged, and it was difficult for the carriage to move along the way. Many times I felt like I was going to roll down, which was really torturous.
"Princess, why don't you come down and sit down? Sitting in the carriage for a long time will really make you feel bored!"
Tao Yong stretched out his hand as he spoke. Chu Yi nodded. It was indeed quite boring to sit in the carriage. It was good to come down to breathe fresh air. When she came down, she held Tao Yong's hand.
After standing outside and taking a few breaths of air, I felt that my dizziness was lessening. It was really uncomfortable to sit swaying in the carriage.
Yuexiang also came down. Standing next to her, she also felt a little dizzy. After standing for a while, she felt better.
"Sure enough, we can't compare with General Tao. The general doesn't seem to have any discomfort."
Xu Shi felt a little bored after standing for a long time. Chu Yi said casually that his impression of Tao Yong was just average, but he had to rely on him to escort him for so long, so he had to give him some good face.
"The princess is fragile and has a long journey. It's not a big deal if she feels unwell. And since I have your Majesty's order, I must take good care of the princess."
Tao Yong smiled and said, in fact, these are nothing at all. It will be of great benefit to himself to complete the tasks ordered by His Highness.
Now His Majesty's illness is probably not going to get better, so he should find another useful master for himself.
Chu Yigang was about to say something more, but he heard some movement. Apparently Tao Yong also heard it and raised his head and looked around.
Sure enough, they saw some rocks rolling down from the mountain nearby, and immediately pulled Chu Yi to a safe location. Yuexiang followed them and responded quickly.
Most of the escort teams were well-trained and quickly found safe positions, but some were killed by falling rocks without reacting. The injuries and casualties were not too heavy.
"Why are there rocks rolling down the mountain? If I had known earlier, I would have stopped here!"
Chu Yi was so frightened that her heart was about to jump out. She covered her chest hard, not daring to look at the person who was smashed to death.
Now she is really blaming herself and feeling guilty, blaming herself for wanting to stop. If she hadn't stopped, maybe this wouldn't have happened!
"This matter has nothing to do with the princess. It's normal for rocks to roll down the mountain. As long as the princess is fine!"
Tao Yong's hand has been holding Chu Yi's arm tightly from the beginning to the end, and he has not let go until now. He is really worried that something will happen. God knows how nervous he was at that moment.
First, in order to complete the task assigned by His Highness, the princess must not be injured, but he could not bear to let such a beautiful woman suffer any harm. He would really feel guilty.
"But those people were stoned to death, and many things fell down. What should I do? What should I do with all this?"
Chu Yi was so frightened that she trembled all over. She didn't even realize that her hand was still being held by Tao Yong. She looked blankly at the people who were smashed to death, and their bodies were all bruised and bloody.
Fortunately, there were not too many casualties. Only a few people were killed in twos and threes, and most of them successfully avoided the falling rocks.
"It's okay, Princess, don't be afraid. I will have them buried on the spot, and I will ask Your Highness to compensate their relatives when we return."
Tao Yong looked at him and comforted him softly. Compared with those injured, he was most worried about Chu Yi now.
The scared look of such a beautiful beauty is really eye-catching. Even if you are close, you can smell the fragrance of her body.
The fragrance was really too fragrant. He could smell it vaguely before, but now he could smell it from a close distance. He felt that his heart was vaguely excited.
