The sky is getting darker and the rain is getting heavier.

Ao Ye's eyes were blurred, he could only face the bleak autumn wind, and rely on his memory to drive the steed under him to the palace.

He bent his upper body slightly, holding the rein tightly with both hands, his calves kept bumping against the horse's belly, and the voice that kept urging the horse to run was almost hoarse.

Fortunately, no matter who came or went, there were not many people on the road, which allowed Ao Ye to gallop on the horse without any scruples, almost unimpeded along the way.

She Yanbai sat behind Ao Ye, her pale cheek pressed against his drenched back, and the breaths in their bodies began to mingle again.

His narrow and deep eyes looked at the Yingxian Palace, which was getting smaller and smaller behind him.Suddenly, the wet eyelashes trembled slightly, the arms around Ao Ye's waist gradually tightened, and the red lips were pursed into a thin straight line.

The horse carried the two of them into the east gate of the capital, and then passed the gate of the imperial city.

When they arrived at the palace gate, the guards guarding the gate wanted to stop him.

Ao Ye directly threw out the crown prince's token, pulled the reins, and the horse leaped forward knowingly, and landed firmly, it had already entered the palace city.

Horses are not allowed in the palace city. This rule has been established since the founding of the Eastern Qin Dynasty.

Today, however, it is personally broken by its next successor.

The rushing sound of horseshoes echoed in the empty deep palace, and finally disappeared outside Qifeng Palace.

Ao Ye lifted his legs over the horse's head, jumped off the horse, then turned around and grabbed She Yanbai's belt, and pulled him into his arms with a little force.

"We have to hurry up." Ao Ye hugged She Yanbai by the waist and walked quickly to Qifeng Palace.

He didn't know, his throat could no longer make a sound.If She Yanbai didn't understand some lip language, she wouldn't know what he said at all.

The Qifeng Palace was brightly lit, and the coming and going palace servants, guards and imperial physicians, no matter whether they recognized Ao Ye or not, were all photographed by the chilling aura around him and did not dare to step forward to stop him.

Walking to the outside of the main hall, a guard in charge of the imperial guard took a step forward, flashing a saber that was shining with cold light.

"Your Majesty has an order, no one is allowed to enter without an order!"

Ao Ye raised his head, most of his face was covered by wet hair, only a pair of cold eyes were exposed, looking at the guard as if looking at a dead person.

He raised his foot and was about to kick away the blockers when the eunuch Fuquan ran out from the hall, and when he saw Ao Ye, tears welled up in his eyes.

"Your Highness, you're finally back. Your Majesty has been waiting for you." Fuquan knocked away the guard with his body, ran to Ao Ye and pushed him in. He still didn't forget to turn his head and curse, "You don't have eyes! Your Majesty does not allow others to come in, so how can you not let His Highness the Crown Prince come in?"

Ao Ye put down She Yanbai and walked inside holding his hand.

He walked very fast, for the first time he did not slow down to take care of She Yanbai's body.

The shoes of the two were not only soaked, but also muddy, leaving two strings of wet and muddy footprints along the way.

There were many people guarding outside the hall, even if they lowered their voices as much as possible, it was very noisy.But the hall was terribly quiet, the further you went to the apse, the fewer lights there were.

Doctor Lin was woebegone, pacing back and forth outside, turned around and saw Ao Ye and She Yanbai, bent down and saluted, "I have seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Ao Ye raised his hand, opened and closed his mouth but didn't make a sound, he couldn't help feeling a little anxious.

She Yanbai held his hand instead, opened her lips and said, "How long is your majesty?"

Doctor Lin shook his head and said, "Your Highness, go in quickly."

Ao Ye's heart sank, and he led She Yanbai into the room quickly.

In fact, Imperial Physician Lin is not waiting inside, which already shows a problem, that is, his mother doesn't need a doctor now.

His mother is dying.

There was only one lamp lit inside, and the yellowish light reflected a warm color, dispelling the coldness of the autumn night.

Emperor Yuan Shuo sat on the head of the bed expressionlessly, leaning against Ye Xiuyun with his eyes closed and pale face in his arms.

Seeing Ao Ye and She Yanbai coming, Emperor Yuan Shuo blinked blankly, then lowered his head and whispered in Ye Xiuyun's ear, "Xiuyun wake up, our Ye'er is here, and that child is here too. "

The moment he bowed his head, the expression on his face softened, and there was a touching affection between his eyebrows and eyes.

"Aniang, we are here." She Yanbai pulled Ao Ye to the bed and called Ao Niang for him.

Ao Ye knelt by the bed, holding Ye Xiuyun's hand hanging outside the quilt, his eyes were red.

She Yanbai lowered her eyes and sighed softly, squatted down, and covered her own hands, and sent some demon power into Ye Xiuyun's body, giving her the strength to open her eyes and look at Ao Ye again.

In this way, there will be no regrets left.

After a while, Ye Xiuyun slowly opened his eyes, and when he saw Ao Ye's distressed appearance, he showed distress, and when he turned his eyes to see She Yanbai who was also drenched, he showed a faint smile.

"You... are back, A Niang... don't worry."

Ye Xiuyun spoke intermittently, but the comfort in his words could not be ignored.She is like a withered flower, its withered yellow petals are crumbling on the receptacle, as long as there is a breeze, it will wither in an instant.

She Yanbai's eyes flickered, her Adam's apple rolled up and down, and she was speechless for a moment.

"Aniang." Ao Ye couldn't make a sound, but still couldn't help calling out silently.

Ye Xiuyun seemed to have heard it, and responded, "Hey."

Ao Ye lowered his head, and after a while, when he raised it again, the corners of his mouth slightly raised into a smile, but there were more water stains on his face than when he came.

"After Auntie leaves, you can go wherever you want. But Ye'er, you have to promise Auntie that you will protect the one you love and not make him sad." Ye Xiuyun's face seemed to be shining brightly. Suddenly there was blood, and the gloomy eyes regained their brilliance, and even the voice of speaking became a little louder.

Ao Ye turned to look at She Yanbai, then nodded heavily.

Ye Xiuyun was relieved, and turned to stare at She Yanbai, with both worry and pleading in his eyes, and after hesitating for a moment, he said, "Life is short, and a lover is hard to find, you... don't miss it."

She is Ao Ye's biological mother, and she can't ask too much from him, but she can't use her last words to oppress other people's children.

Under her loving gaze, She Yanbai finally softened her heart, nodded and said, "En."

Ye Xiuyun smiled slightly, bright and beautiful, just like the dazzling appearance when Emperor Yuan Shuo first saw her.

"Xiuyun..." Emperor Yuan Shuo's voice was trembling, "And me, don't you have anything to say to me?"

From last night until now, Emperor Yuan Shuo has been guarding Ye Xiuyun every step of the way.When she woke up, he whispered in her ear over and over that her son hadn't come back yet, telling her to wait.When she was drowsy, he watched silently, his heart was empty, and he felt that time passed quickly and slowly.

Thinking about it carefully, I actually forgot even the grief.

Ye Xiuyun was startled, and shook his head in his arms.

"I lied to you..." Emperor Yuan Shuo began to tremble and choked up with sobs, "Back then... that branch of peach blossom didn't fall into your arms by mistake, but I, I deliberately threw it at you..."

That year was March in Yangchun, he went out with two or three friends, and when he came back, he picked up a peach blossom that was in full bloom.Before returning to the palace, I met another friend, so I turned to a restaurant on the street.

On that day, General Ye from the northern border returned to Beijing with a team of personal soldiers to report on his duties. A young general at the end of the team was very popular, attracting women on both sides of the street to throw silk handkerchiefs and jewelry.Such a magnificent scene caused his friends to pull him who was drinking to the window to watch.

I don't know who attracted the young general to turn his head back, with a bright and charming smile, she is clearly a heroic woman, but she is even more eye-catching than a man.When the drunken man came back to his senses, he had already thrown the flower, and it happened to fall into Ye Xiuyun's arms...

Ye Xiuyun raised his head slightly, looked at Emperor Yuan Shuo's tears, and suddenly smiled happily, "I... know."

There are some things that need not be explained, she is faintly aware of them, but she just can't pass the test in her heart.

Ye Xiuyun thought, maybe she is such a small-minded woman.I don't want to understand other people's difficulties and grievances, I only know how to care about the pain I have endured.

Perhaps when the time came, the light in Ye Xiuyun's eyes gradually disappeared.

"Xiuyun, don't sleep, I'll take you back to Prince Gong's mansion, okay?" Emperor Yuan Shuo burst into tears, "No, I'll take you back to the northern border, let's go home, Xiuyun..."

Ye Xiuyun closed his eyes, a faint smile appeared on his face.Perhaps after death, she finally returned to the northern border, and rode into the battlefield together with her father on a horse...

Ao Ye turned around and hugged She Yanbai, and buried her head on his shoulder, holding back tears for a long time, but after a while, the clothes on her shoulders were soaked.

The warm liquid flowed all the way from the neck to She Yanbai's chest.

It was so hot that he couldn't help shivering.
