C117

Lord Tang's eyes were downcast. Within his wide sleeves, he was lightly clenching his fists. Some things were destined to happen from the beginning, but he just did not expect that everything would happen so quickly.

"I understand." The emperor closed the paper and said to the Lord Tang with a cold expression, "If there's anything else that needs to be reported, come and tell me. But as for where they're going to go, you don't need to worry."

The Lord Tang cupped his fists and bowed. Then, he slowly retreated and prepared to leave.

When he arrived at the entrance of the temple, he turned around and heard the Emperor calling out to him: "My beloved disciple of the Tang Dynasty."

Lord Tang quickly returned. "Your Majesty, what orders do you have?"

Xiang Run stood up and said, "Don't let the empress know about this matter, and don't disturb the interest your royal father and mother have in traveling around the mountains and rivers."

Lord Tang kneeled down, "Your Majesty, this old subject is now your subject." After pausing for a moment, he asked, "Your majesty, what about Ling Yu?"

"They probably won't contact him again." The emperor felt assured and said slowly, "Whether or not Ling Xu has the ability to serve the imperial government is entirely up to him. It's not impossible for him to return to the Bi Family. However, if he has a grudge against the past and does not harbor any grudges against the world, I will not accept such an official job. "

Not long after he left, another piece of news spread into the palace. The emperor changed his cold and indifferent expression and directly went to the Middle Palace from the Announcement Hall.

Inside the Culture Hall, the empress was hugging the little princess, feeling like she was spitting spring flowers as she watched from the garden.

In less than two months, the child was lying in a small ball in the crook of his arm. The emperor gently hugged his daughter and smiled as he said, "You look more and more beautiful, just like you."

Siyan laughed: "Your eyebrows are like the emperor, but with this mouth, you are a member of my family."

Xiang Run said: "Speaking of our family, your brother has already left from the Chuanyu, if he's fast, we can arrive at the capital by the end of the month. At that time, we'll stay for a while longer and ask him to come visit our niece."

"Thank you, your majesty." Siyan was very happy.

"Also, in the early autumn, let's return to the Chuanyu to settle down." Xiang Run laughed, "For the citizens of Chuanyu, they will definitely want to see their queen again."

Siyan said respectfully, "On behalf of the people of Chuanyu, chenqie thanks Your Majesty."

When the emperor saw her happiness, he also rejoiced. He gently hugged his daughter and asked her, "At that time, will you be able to walk by yourself?"

Siyan then asked, "Your majesty, at that time, can we take a detour around the Li Prefecture?"

The Emperor replied, "Naturally."

The Queen was overjoyed, "I miss Xiaowan very much, she should be giving birth soon. Your Majesty, there's good news, you have to tell me now."

The emperor lightly replied, "I am thinking of it for you."

He carried her daughter and walked to the next flower bed. Siyan seemed to be muttering to herself, "I still want to go to the Baisha Town market during the Mid-Autumn Festival."

But at this moment, the wails of Baisha Town resounded, a large fire had taken many lives and burnt countless houses. Needless to say for the citizens who were spectating, there were still many innocent people who were not participating at home, and they were implicated.

People from the nearby villages rushed over to take a look. The usually bustling and peaceful town was now in ruins.

Madam Xu and Aunt Wang found the Siyun Pavilion, and this place was also burnt beyond recognition. From the store to the inner courtyard, nothing was left.

When they walked out of the shop, they saw two female servants who were familiar with each other. They asked for someone to use a cart to pull Yue Huaiyin's body back.

They cried miserably, saying that someone had seen strangling their young miss, causing both Madam Xu and Aunt Wang to tremble. Although they would not be able to get even a single tael of silver from now on, at least they had some conscience and helped to settle Yue Huaiyin's affairs.

The news in the town started to spread, saying that the Ling Xiao Inn was already empty, and after Ling Chaofeng killed and set fire to the town, he took his wife, children and all ran off.

A group of excited citizens brought sticks to the inn and smashed the empty shops.

When Susu and Da Qing came over, all the things that the shop could take out had been snatched away, there were not even half a chair or table left, all of the bedding and blankets were gone, the doors and windows were crooked, and a few stairs were broken.

Susu's tears fell like rain. She did not know where Xiaowan and the shopkeeper had gone to, nor did she know if they would come to pick them up again.

Da Qing said to her: "After those people finish venting, there will be no more trouble. I will come to fix it every day and clean it.

Susu sobbed and said: "The people here are all crazy, I'm afraid even we will have to fight for them in the future. I don't want them to come back, as long as Xiaowan is safe, the further they go the better."

Da Qing said: "Don't be afraid, if worst comes to worst, we will also go. It's fate, we will definitely meet again."

At this time, Ling Chaofeng, together with his wife and children and the Uncle Biao s, had already left for a great distance on the ship. The big ship had floated out of the Baisha River and entered the river, heading towards the south.

Aunt Zhang could not bear the waves and fainted weakly. Uncle Biao had been guarding her the whole time and came over to take a look at the cabin. She felt her heart ache.

The moment he turned around, Little Pei ran over, ran into the house, and touched his grandmother's body a few times, causing Aunt Zhang's complexion to improve. He crawled into the Aunt Zhang's embrace and asked them to play with him.

Xiaowan heaved a sigh of relief, warned Little Pei not to cause trouble, and left.

On the deck, Ling Chaofeng was talking to the owner of the boat, the river wind whistled, the momenthe saw the Xiaowan, she took off his clothes and put it on, saying, "If there's anything, go back to the boat cabin and wait for me, it's cold here."

The owner of the boat was Ling Chaofeng's friend, but he smiled and said, "I'll take a look at the back. You guys go back to your cabins as soon as possible.

Thus, only the husband and wife remained on the deck. Xiaowan gave the clothes back to his husband and allowed him to carry it with him, nestling it against his chest.

The sunset gradually fell and golden light scattered from the west. The change happened too fast and sudden, but Xiaowan could already accept the peace in front of her eyes.

Ling Chaofeng said guiltily: "Later, I caused you to suffer with me."

She laughed. "When I was young, I was beaten up every day and wished to die. I thought that as long as I could get rid of that kind of life, no matter how miserable and poor I would be in the future, I would still strive to live."

Ling Chaofeng laughed and asked: "Do you know of the term wandering here?"

Xiaowan pouted and said angrily: "I'm just seriously lamenting about life, and you only know how to laugh at me. Let me tell you, I can't write those four words right now, so what?"

Ling Chaofeng kissed her on the lips, and kissed his heavily. Xiaowan said that as long as he was here, she was not afraid of anything. But to Ling Chaofeng, as long as Xiaowan was here, he could always be at home.

The two of them kissed until the boat shook violently, then stopped.

Xiaowan gasped slightly, "Hubby, let's go to a new place and start all over again."

Ling Chaofeng nodded, but a look of worry flashed past his eyes.

He did not regret what he had done in his rage that night, and he did not regret it no matter who died in it.

However, murder and arson were facts. It was impossible for him to walk the path of the world impartially. Whether they could start over or not depended on the imperial court investigating the matter.

It was very likely that the moment they reached the next location, the imperial government's wanted posters filled the streets and alleyways.

"Maybe we really will be wandering around for a while." Ling Chaofeng said, "But I will never let anyone hurt you again.

Xiaowan laughed until her eyebrows curved, "Now, we still have our son."

Ling Chaofeng said in disbelief: "I'm still on my way back, so far away. Little Pei suddenly appeared and coiled around me, and in the blink of an eye, I appeared in the cellar, and he told me that you were robbed."

Xiaowan frowned slightly as she listened, "But when he ran out, I was not taken away yet."

After Ling Chaofeng heard what the Xiaowan had to say, he asked, "Can Little Pei predict the future?"

Xiaowan hurriedly said, "Go and ask him."

The couple came to Aunt Zhang's cabin and took his son away. Little Pei looked at his mother greedily, then gently pulled at Xiaowan's clothes, preparing to drink her milk.

But Ling Chaofeng said: "You can already eat. From today onwards, you are not allowed to drink milk."

Little Pei looked at his father in shock, his big eyes filled with tears. He felt wronged, but he did not dare to disobey his father even if he could swallow the clouds in the sky and spit out mist.

He pitifully looked at Xiaowan, and even broke Xiaowan's heart. In fact, Little Pei was still very young, at least Xiaowan could still hug him.

She turned her back on her husband, opened her dress wide, and held Jiao Er in her arms. Her son immediately became happy and obediently started to eat.

"You can't let him go on like this forever. He looks at least two years old now." Ling Chaofeng said.

"There are a lot of two years old babies still drinking milk. I'm happy to feed them to you, so why are you in such a hurry?" Xiaowan held his son and patted him lightly, "This is all I can give him. This mother of mine is already very unqualified. Besides, he looks like he's two years old, but he's only been born a few days ago. "

Ling Chaofeng was speechless. Of course he wouldn't be jealous of his son or be jealous of him. He was worried about Xiaowan's body.

When Little Pei was full, he laid in Xiaowan's embrace with satisfaction. Xiaowan had already gathered his son up, lowered his head and kissed him again and again, asking, "Little Pei, Mother wants to ask you something, can you answer us honestly? If you really can't say it, then say it, and we won't ask anymore. "

The little guy nodded, looked at his father, and spoke in a childish voice, "Father, Little Pei is still young, I just think he is."

Ling Chaofeng didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He opened his arms to let his son come over and then asked, "Little Pei, how did you know that they are going to capture their mother and burn her to death?

Little Pei shook his head: "I can hear their voices from far away. I heard them coming, they said they want to burn Mother to death."

Ling Chaofeng asked again: "Then do you know what you are? Are you human, or a dragon, or a god, or a demon?"

The little guy smiled and said, "I'm the son of my parents."

This kind of answer evidently meant that there were things that could not be said. Xiaowan thought for a moment, then asked: "Then why did you not directly save mother, and instead go and find Father?"

He replied seriously, "I'm too young to beat them."

Everything he said was true, but what he said seemed to completely deny the fact that he could swallow the heavens and spit the earth.

Ling Chaofeng and Xiaowan looked at each other. They didn't need to ask, because even if their son couldn't say it, they couldn't. Whether or not they could raise him up, what would happen in the future, all depended on fate.
