my princess boy

On December [-]th, Mu Jingluo and the royal family and nobles from Beiqi arrived in Kyoto.

Ling Xuetang took people to meet him.

Mu Jingluo proclaimed himself emperor in the Northeast, and his reign name was Suihe. Now that he is being welcomed into Beijing, it is natural to welcome him with the emperor's ceremony.Ling Xuetang led a group of Beiqi's former ministers, knelt down at the gate of the city, and shouted long live.

At that time, Mu Jingluo was indeed wearing the new black imperial clothes, and stepped out of the emperor's chariot. Accompanying him were King Yu, King Qi and other relatives of the emperor. It's big, but it's grand.

After all, Beiqi's recovery and return to the hands of the Mu family will naturally be more grand.

The cold wind was bitter, and there was still snow everywhere at the gate of the city that had just snowed. However, amidst the sound of hunting flags, no one felt the cold, only solemnity and solemnity.

"Xuetang, you've worked hard." Mu Jingluo stepped forward to help him up, with a friendly and grateful expression, "Thanks to your arrangements here, and thanks to you being around Yu Wenlie, my uncles are safe and sound. "

Ling Xuetang's expression was calm, and she only said: "I should. I was born in Beiqi, and I have always been from Beiqi. I would never dare to betray Beiqi..."

Mu Jingluo reached out and held his hand tightly, not letting him continue: "I know."

He couldn't be more clear about what kind of people Mu Xianyi and Ling Xuetang were. What's more, under the current situation, there is really no need to say more.

He looked at Ling Xuetang's ancient and calm face, lowered his eyes, thought for a while, then took a step sideways, and introduced him: "This is the son of Duke Chen in the Northeast, and he is the one who assisted me in my ascension to the throne."

"My son-in-law, we meet again."

A familiar voice came, and Ling Xuetang turned her head to look, but saw a familiar face, nodding to herself——

It is Bai Yu.

"I'm Yan Qingyue, the son of Chen Guogong." He bowed his hands to Ling Xuetang and saluted.

"It turned out to be you." Ling Xuetang suddenly understood why she secretly received a jade pendant from Mu Xianyi that night, on which was written "Shoot and kill Wu Danyu one after another". He thought of Bai Yu, but he didn't think that Bai Yu would be Chen Guogong's son - Chen Guogong had been stationed in the northeast, if it wasn't for him, maybe the whole Beiqi would be destroyed, and there would be no such thing as Mu Jingluo proclaiming emperor.

"It's me." Yan Qingyue's face was also expressionless, "I wanted to join forces with you, but I never thought that you planned to assassinate Emperor Tianqi."

Ling Xuetang said, "I thought... I was alone and helpless."

He originally thought that no one could help him and he could only rely on himself, so he thought of the most thorough method - directly assassinate Emperor Tianqi.

Thinking of Bai Yu being Mu Xianyi's loyal servant, and now that Mu Xianyi is no longer alive, he felt a little moved, and said: "His grave is buried in the Ling family ancestor's cemetery, go and see him."

Yan Qingyue sneered lowly, but said nothing.

Ling Xuetang knew that he must have hatred in his heart, so he stopped talking.

When Emperor Suihe entered the capital, everything in Beiqi was restarted. The troops of Chen Guogong and Li Banner were stationed at the border to prevent South Vietnam from invading again.Some of Nanyue's remnants left in Beiqi were completely wiped out by the court.

Ling Xuetang entered the palace and talked with Mu Jingluo once. Mu Jingluo said that while the current situation was not stable, the new emperor would directly rebuild Beiqi. He also said that the new emperor was young and hoped that Ling Xuetang could assist him. From his words, it can be deduced that the new emperor should be the original eighth prince Mu Jingheng—now that Mu Jingheng is almost 17 years old, he can indeed be enthroned as emperor.

But he really didn't have the intention to re-enter the court, so he politely declined Mu Jingluo's invitation.

It was almost the end of the new year, and the new emperor's enthronement ceremony was scheduled for the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and the one-month preparation time was almost over.

Ling Xuetang didn't go back to the Duke's Mansion, and stayed alone in the Princess Mansion, closing the door to thank guests all day long.

Ruan Foxi returned to the capital, came to him, and discussed with him about Yuwenyan.

He said: "Yuwenyan, just let him go with me. Whether he goes back to Nanyue or stays in Beiqi, his situation is very embarrassing. Why don't you come with me to Xianyunyehe."

At that time, Ling Xuetang was sitting in front of the charcoal basin, feeling the warmth, looking at the sword hanging on the wall, and suddenly remembered the appearance of Yuwenyan when he first saw him - he was dressed in white, carrying a piano on his back, and a sword with him , gentle and elegant, square and dignified yet chic, he is clearly a gentleman walking in the rivers and lakes.

He thought, perhaps for Yuwenyan, such an ending is indeed better than being imprisoned in Beiqi.

So he nodded and agreed: "Okay, I'll go tell my brother."

There was a loss of personnel in the court, Duke Zhen was old and in poor health, so he wrote a letter to report his old age, so Ling Yutang has already entered the court as an official, and the new emperor will be enthroned soon, so he is also very busy.Seeing Ling Xuetang, and hearing him say that Ruan Foxi hoped to take Yuwenyan away, he pondered for a while, and finally nodded:

"Okay." He said again, "He can take whatever he comes with. There is no need to say goodbye to Yu Wenyan."

Anyway, we won't see each other again in this life, so why bother to say those things that only add to the unpleasantness.

He looked outside at the courtyard where it was snowing again, and he didn't know what it was like—was he relieved?sad?Reluctant?

It seems that there are, and there are none.

It's just that there will be no love or hate in the future.

Ling Xuetang told this to Ruan Foxi, and Ruan Foxi said that he would stay in the capital for a few more days - he still couldn't let go of Mu Xianyi and wanted to visit him again; moreover, the South Vietnamese hated him so much that they must have sent many spies They searched for him everywhere, and wanted to take his life.He will stay in hiding for a few days first, wait for the limelight to pass, then change his name and surname, and go out of Beijing in disguise with Yu Wenyan.

Ling Xuetang arranged a place for him, made some money, and made an agreement with the people in Ling's mansion that as long as Ruan Foxi went there with his jade pendant, he could take Yu Wenyan away.When the father and son parted, Ling Xuetang knelt down in front of him and kowtowed:

"Thank you for your hard work in bringing me into this world and taking care of Xuanxuan. I can't carve out my bones to return my father, and I can't be filial for the rest of my life. I have to repay your kindness in the next life."

Ruan Foxi looked at him who kowtowed his head, for the first time because his eyes were red, he sneered, and said: "What afterlife is there? Even if there is, don't be my son, I will never give birth to you again. "

After finishing speaking, it seemed that he had no nostalgia, turned around and left.

It's just that the person who left slowly in the white snow threw all the hatred, all the resentment, and all the pain in the heart into the wind and snow, letting them disperse with the wind and snow, and there will be no more burden for the rest of his life up.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the new emperor ascended the throne, and the whole country celebrated with joy.

Wearing a dark blue consort's auspicious suit, Ling Xuetang went to the ancestral grave of the Ling family alone in the snowstorm.
