The Rebirth of the Deposed Empress

Mu Yang was also with Lu Wuming. The two of them stood there and watched Li Sen's figure getting smaller and smaller in the distance. Their brows were furrowed, and Mu Yang looked confused.

"Is Lieutenant General Li worried about something?"

The two of them sat in silence for a while, and finally Mu Yang lost his patience.

He waved his hand, walked away, and said in a rough voice:

"Forget it, let's go with Lieutenant General Li."

Lu Wuming also left, he pursed his lips and nodded.

"Yeah, if I have that much skill, I might as well practice my aim."

"When we go hunting in the mountains tomorrow, I will never lose to you again!"

……

After giving the order, Ye Buhuo and Hua Rongyu, father and son, returned to the City Lord's Mansion.

After dinner, Ye Buhuo sat in the study to read military books as usual.

Gradually, moonlight from outside shines through the window onto the desk.

Ye Buhuo raised his head slightly and looked at the bright moon outside the window.

After a while, he closed the book in his hand, stood up and walked out.

"Knock knock knock."

Hua Wu Ke was lazily leaning on the chaise longue, chatting with Qing Zhu.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door, and then the maid outside the house said:

"Miss, the prince is here."

Hua Wu Ke got off the chaise longue and just as she stepped out of the door, she bumped into Ye Buhuo's gentle gaze on her.

"Why are you here so late?"

Hua Wu Ke spoke out.

"Take you to a place."

Winter has slowly passed, spring is coming, and Beimo Pass is no longer as cold as it was a few days ago.

But the nights were still extremely cold.

Qingzhu, who was following Hua Wuke, heard this, turned around and went into the house to get out a fox fur cloak.

Qingzhu was just about to put the cloak on Hua Wuke when Ye Buhuo reached out and took the cloak.

He carefully put it on Hua Wu Ke, then held the two fluffy ties at the collar in his hands and concentrated on tying the knots.

I don't know if he did it on purpose.

When tying the knot, Ye Buhuo's slightly cool back of his hand would always rub against Hua Wuke's cheek from time to time.

The slight itchiness caused made Hua Wu Ke unable to help but look down at his hand.

Upon seeing this, Hua Wu Ke couldn't help but curl his lips.

His hands were slender and well-proportioned, as if carved out of jade, and he could wield a long sword with ease on a daily basis.

But at this moment, I was stumped by the two laces.

He went around and around and almost got his hand entangled in it.

Following the palm, Hua Wu Ke slowly shifted his gaze and looked at the owner of the hand.

He looked serious, but not impatient at all. He was just concentrating on fiddling with the two laces.

It seems like he is dealing with something of vital importance.

A moment later, a not-so-exquisite cloak bud hung crookedly on Hua Wuke's chest.

Ye Buhuo looked around for a while, then frowned slightly and reached out his hand again.

Before he touched the flower bud, his hand was held by Hua Wu Ke.

Feeling the warm tenderness, Ye Buhuo slightly raised his eyebrows at Hua Wuke.

Hua Wu Ke didn't say much and just pulled him forward.

"It's tied, let's go."

When the two of them arrived at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, Ye Yi was already waiting there with a horse.

Hua Wu Ke was a little surprised when he saw the horses.

"Do we need to go there on horseback?"

"Ride faster."

If it were daytime, Ye Buhuo wouldn't mind walking slowly with Hua Wuke.

It’s not far after all.

But it was already dark and we couldn't delay too long.

Ye Buhuo mounted the horse neatly and swiftly, then leaned down and half circled Hua Wuke's waist with one hand.

He effortlessly carried Hua Wu Ke onto the horse's back and held her close to his chest.

Hua Wu Ke rarely has too much physical contact with Ye Buhuo in front of others.

Now Ye Yi and Qing Zhu were still beside her, and she was caught off guard by Ye Buhuo, who hugged her around the waist and pulled her into his arms. She felt a little embarrassed for a moment.

She glared at Ye Buhuo shyly and said:

"I can mount the horse myself!"

Ye Buhuo looked at Hua Wu Ke staring at him with her round eyes, and thought of her when she was still a child.

Every time he learned some mediocre moves from Hua Jiajun, he would come to compete with him.

Afraid that she would cry if she lost, Ye Buhuo always let her win.

As a result, after Ye Buhuo deliberately lost a few times, the little devil suddenly realized that Ye Buhuo was giving in to her.

Having been accustomed to martial arts competitions in the military camp since childhood, Hua Wu Ke has learned that to respect the opponent, one must use all his strength.

So in Hua Wu Ke's eyes, Ye Buhuo was looking down on her and that was why he was unwilling to really compete with her.

I immediately got angry.

This caused Ye Buhuo to coax her for a long time, and finally he had to buy her a lot of snacks without telling his grandfather before Hua Wuke was willing to pay attention to him.

Hua Wu Ke still looked the same as when he was a child, with slightly puffy cheeks and wide eyes when he got angry.

A smile appeared in Ye Buhuo's eyes and he gently pinched her pink peach-like face.

He lowered his head slightly and whispered in her ear:

"I know, but I just want to hold Sui Sui."

Hua Wu Ke didn't expect Ye Buhuo to say such blunt words. He wondered if Ye Yi and Qing Zhu heard it.

She buried her face in Ye Buhuo's chest and chose to be a quail.

He rubbed the little quail's head and then put the hood of the cloak on her.

Ye Buhuo rode his horse to the suburbs.

Ye Yi and Qing Zhu wisely hid their figures and temporarily returned to their identities as secret guards.

The horse galloped through the night, bringing up a gust of night breeze.

Fortunately, Hua Wu Ke was wrapped in a cloak and held in Ye Buhuo's arms, so he didn't feel cold at all.

After about a moment, the horse stopped.

Ye Buhuo lowered his head and rubbed Hua Wuke's smooth forehead affectionately with the corner of his mouth.

"Sui Sui, it's time."

Hua Wu Ke was drowsy from being jolted in Ye Buhuo's arms throughout the journey. She took off her hat with hazy eyes and looked up at Xi Zhou.

The horse stopped at a high place in a desert sand. Below the sand slope was a crescent-shaped lake with a few willow trees standing beside the lake.

The moonlight is bright tonight. The bright moonlight falls into the lake, making the surface of the lake sparkle.

Occasionally a breeze blew, and ripples appeared on the surface of the lake, with the light scattered on it flickering and dancing like bright and shining stars.

Suddenly a red fish jumped out of the water, spreading the ripples.

This leap startled the willow branches hanging down to the lake, and also woke up Hua Wu Ke who was fascinated by the beautiful scenery.

She happily shook Hua Wu Ke's arm and cheered softly:

"What a beautiful place this is!"

"I discovered this by chance when I passed by here. Several families living over there call this place Yingyue Lake."

Hua Wu Ke was a little surprised.

"I thought you were either in the barracks or in the study every day, but you actually came to a place like this."

Ye Buhuo nodded towards the south and explained calmly:

"This is the place closest to the capital in the entire Beimo Pass."
