"Jun Er!" Seeing her, Chu Yixuan shouted loudly and immediately dismounted his horse, rushing towards her wildly. Today, he had originally gone out of the palace in disguise, unintentionally riding a horse to this place, fortunate that heaven pitied him, finally allowing him to see her here.
They sent so many people to search for her, but she was in the capital all along. It's really a case of "breaking iron shoes without finding what you're looking for" and "coming full circle without expending any effort".
When Deng Yanzhi also saw the appearance of the person rushing towards her, she was equally frightened and wanted to get up and run away. However, she had been kneeling on the ground for too long and her legs were numb. She couldn't move at all.
What to do? What to do?
He saw her appearance. He knew she was still alive. How did he end up here today?
He wants to take her with him. No way. She doesn't want to enter the palace at all.
Yan Xijun's mind was a mess, thinking about all these problems that were about to happen.
"Jun'er, it's really you." Chu Yixuan rushed in front of her, squatted down and lifted up her small face. He finally saw clearly the face he had been thinking about day and night. He was so excited that he hugged her tightly into his arms and said with joy: "Jun'er, you're not dead after all! I've been sending people to look for you all along. Do you know? For these few months, I've been thinking of you every day, missing you. You finally appear in front of me."
"Oh no, what should I do? He really recognized himself. I have to think of a way to gloss over it quickly."
"That's right, just pretend you don't know him and that's it. If all else fails, just pretend you have amnesia."
Yan Xikun pretended to be flustered and pushed him away, saying anxiously: "Your Majesty, don't do this. You've got the wrong person. The commoner woman is just a rough person, not someone called Jun'er."
"You're lying! You deliberately deceived me, aren't you?" Chu Yixuan's large hand grasped her shoulder, pinching it tightly as he furiously asked.
"The commoner woman really didn't deceive the Emperor. Your Majesty, you misunderstood me." Yan Xijun explained with her head lowered, her brow furrowed and her shoulders pinched to the point of pain.
"Jun Er, if you are not Jun Er, why have you come to this icy and snowy place to burn incense and worship him?"
Chu Yixuan is not that easy to fool either. The calm and intelligent emperor immediately found the flaw in her words.
"Min 'girl' thinks General Yan is a good person. He had helped her family before, so Min 'girl' was very grateful. Now she came to burn incense, also to thank him for his kindness."
Chu Yixuan didn't believe her excuses at all. He gently lifted her face, looked at her steadily, grasped her small hand with his large one, and blew a few breaths on it. Firmly saying: "Jun'er, no matter how much you say, it's useless. I said you are my Jun'er, so you are my Jun'er."
"Your Majesty, I really don't know you, and I'm not some kind of 'junior'." Yan Xijun pulled her hand out of his, hastily explaining.
What's the point? Looking at this situation now, it's simply impossible to fool him.
Yan Xijun's heart was in a mess at this moment. On the one hand, she had to deal with him. On the other hand, she was also very worried about Ming's arrival. If Ming came, not only would her own identity be exposed, but Ming would also bring deadly danger.
Don't come no matter what. She silently prayed in her heart.
Sometimes what's meant to happen will still happen. What's destined to occur will still occur. This is the law of the world, and no one can stop it.
Chu Yixuan took off his own warm and thick cloak, wrapped it around her, helped her tie the belt, bent down to pick her up, smiled warmly: "Jun'er, you don't have to say anything. I'll take you back to the palace now. You won't be able to leave my side again."
Yan Xijun was on the verge of collapse at this moment. Why was she so unlucky? Was it really necessary to enter the palace again?
She rubbed her temples, thinking hard. Pretending to be worried, she said: "Your Majesty, I really don't remember when I saw you before. You suddenly brought me into the palace today. What if one day the girl named Jun'er returns to the palace? What should I do?"
"You're just Jun'er, aren't you? How can there be so many Jun'ers in the world?" Chu Yixuan gazed at her intently and said, "You really don't remember me."
Yan Xijun shook her head, looking bewildered and perplexed.
"Chu Cheng Ming, Yan Wu Xin, Xue Lian, Wen Qin... don't you remember any of them?" Chu Yi Xuan asked, his eyes piercing as he looked at her. Seeing that she was still dazed and shaking her head, he asked again: "Do you remember the big fire a few months ago?"
"A big fire." Yan Xijun pretended to be suddenly enlightened: "Ah, I remember. I have experienced a fire before. After escaping, I didn't remember anything else. Only remembered General Yan's kindness."
"Dear, it seems you've lost your memory for the time being. But don't be afraid, I'll have the imperial physician treat your amnesia." Chu Yixuan said gently to her, then carried her towards their horse.
The two had not yet reached Jun Ma's side when they were blocked by a person who suddenly appeared out of nowhere. The newcomer, holding a treasured sword, coldly and sternly shouted: "Let her go."
The voice was so familiar. Yan Xizhun suddenly raised his head. Chu Chengming, with a straight and upright posture, stood in front of them with his sword drawn, frowning at them.
"Ah, Meng. Why did you come here to die?" Yan Xijun desperately signaled to Chu Yixuan with her eyes in his arms, telling him to escape quickly and ignore her.
What a pity. Chu Chengming completely disregarded her gaze and intentions. He simply looked at Chu Yixuan coldly.
At this moment in Chu Cheng's mind, he was just lucky. Fortunately, it came in time. Otherwise, she would have let him take her away again.
Chu Cheng Ming's appearance at this time further deepened the idea in Chu Yi Xuan's heart. The person in his arms was indeed the Jun Er he had been searching for.
Chu Cheng Ming saw that he didn't take himself seriously at all. He took a step forward, pointing at him, and said coldly: "Let her go quickly."
Chu Yixuan hugged Yan Xijun and sneered at him: "Cheng Ming, what qualifications do you have to order me to let her go? She is my concubine, my person, and also your nominal imperial sister-in-law. This sentence should be said by me. It's you who shouldn't cling to your imperial sister-in-law shamelessly."
Chu Cheng Ming's face turned red with anger from his sarcastic remarks. He spat in disgust and said, "Hmph! I've never considered you my imperial uncle. You're not worthy of being my imperial uncle either. Jun Er is not your person. She loves me. Although you have her body, you'll never get her heart."
"Hmph." Chu Yixuan was also infuriated by his words. He pulled down Zhang Jun's face and said, "Cheng Ming, today you're walking into your own trap. Don't blame me for being ruthless then. I'll kill you right in front of her and see if you can still win her heart."
After finishing speaking, Chu Yixuan's eyes suddenly revealed a murderous intent.
Yan Xijun couldn't care about anything else anymore. Chu Meng shouted: "Meng, you quickly escape, don't fight him anymore."
Chu Cheng looked at her with deep affection and said firmly, "Jun Er, I won't run away. If we leave, we'll go together."
Yan Xijun's heart skipped a beat as she listened, her emotions in turmoil. She gazed deeply at him, and for a moment, they just stared at each other, the only sound being the cold wind blowing by and snowflakes fluttering down.
