Song Lang stopped and turned to look at Xiao Qing. He thought for a moment. He took a plain handkerchief from his sleeve and handed it to her: “Xiao Qing, after three years with Bai Zhi, haven’t you learned to be independent?”
Xiao Qing shook her head: “I haven’t learned, and I don’t want to learn. Young master, Xiao Qing doesn’t want to leave you.”
Song Lang said: “You are not leaving me, but being yourself. Since you haven’t learned it in the past three years, you should learn from now on to control your life, live the life you want, and do whatever you want to do.”
“What about you, young master?” Xiao Qing wiped away her tears and looked at him pitifully.
Song Lang smiled and hid his loss in his eyes with a smile: “I am the same.” He tried to forget his previous hatred and resentment and tried to chase the lamp that lit up his life, but that lamp got farther and farther.
Fortunately, although he didn’t catch the bright light, he walked into a bright avenue on the way of chasing. He knew that he would not fall into the darkness again.
Song Lang left and travel alone to the Western Regions. Xiao Qing returned to Bai Zhi.
Zhou Awu went out and came back with a blank face.
“What’s wrong?” Bai Zhi sat beside the bed and wiped Chu Yan’s hands with a wet cloth.
Zhou Awu was about to speak but stopped. His eyes fell on Chu Yan’s face. Unfortunately, Chu Yan could not see anything now and did not know what his expression was.
Bai Zhi handed the cloth towel back to Xiao Qing and said to Zhou Awu: “Is there anything I can’t listen to? Why don’t I avoid it?” Although she said so, she didn’t mean to get up and leave.
What were the things she can’t know? She was curious.
Chu Yan said: “If you have anything to say, just say it. There are no outsiders here.”
After receiving the order from Chu Yan, Zhou Awu no longer hesitated. He opened his mouth and said: “There is a letter from the capital. The Seventh Prince has frequently entered the palace. There have been many rumors in the court recently.”
Chu Yan grunted coldly: “The fox’s tail is finally exposed. This paper can’t contain a fire. It’s normal to have rumors.”
Zhou Awu added: “I received the news that the seventh prince forced the supreme emperor to abolish the emperor, but the supreme emperor refused. I don’t know what means he used to take the ninth prince out of the palace, but his whereabouts are still unknown.”
Chu Yan’s face sank, his body suddenly sat straight, and he said in a deep voice: “He is so bold. He dares to do anything for this ridiculous throne?” First, he tried to kill the emperor, and now he has taken hostage the ninth prince? It seems he was so desperate.
Zhou Awu looked at Bai Zhi and asked in a low voice: “Your Majesty, what should we do now?”
The emperor was blind. If he goes back to the palace like this, there will be chaos. But if he doesn’t go back to the palace, who knows what kind of trouble will be waiting for them?
Chu Yan leans over to Bai Zhi and stared blankly in front, then slowly said, “Zhi’er has the final say. I will listen to her.”
Bai Zhi even wondered if Zhou Awu had colluded with Chu Yan, wanting her to come back, so they said this and throw the problem at her.
Chu Yan has two options, stay or return to the capital.
But Bai Zhi only has one option.
Even if Chu Yan didn’t ask her to go with him, she couldn’t let him go back to the capital with ease. The poison on his body hadn’t been removed, and he was blind at this time. If he could not get the antidote within three months, the poison couldn’t be suppressed. She did not know what would happen after it outbreak.
