Ye Chuyan hugged Wu Mu tightly and refused to let go, sobbing softly and tremblingly.
Wu Mu just held her quietly and kept stroking her back.
After a long time, Ye Chuyan let out a long sob and raised his eyes to look at Wu Mu.
Wu Mu was looking at her tenderly, and she was the only one in his eyes.
"Ayan, it turns out that there really are gods and Buddhas in this world."
He spoke very softly, but each word was like an awl, hitting Ye Chuyan's heart hard.
Ye Chuyan didn't know how much Wu Mu had gone through before he believed that he was Ye Chuyan when he saw him again, and calmly dealt with Na Sheng's person.
Afterwards, he could still maintain the utmost gentleness and said these words in such a pious tone.
Thinking of this, she felt sour and wanted to cry again, but she held it back in the end.
She hugged Wu Mu's waist tightly and lay on Wu Mu's chest, feeling his strong heartbeat.
This heartbeat made her inexplicably calm and stable, as if she had returned home and no longer had to worry or be on guard.
She told Wu Mu everything that happened to her in Beirong, including Na Sheng telling her about Pei Xiuyan's rebellion and Wu Mu's marriage to her.
Wu Mu's eyes turned red after hearing this.
When he found Ye Chuyan's body in the prison, the western limb was blown apart from the body, the body was burned black, and the face was completely muffled.
He recognized Ye Chuyan with his western limbs.
It turns out that the western limb is really Ye Chuyan's western limb, but the body is not.
When he thought of Ye Chuyan burning his body and going through so many hellish things on earth in the palace in Beirong, his whole body was burned.
Ayan had to endure so much pain at that time that she managed to survive and escape after burning herself.
After Ye Chuyan finished telling his story, he took out a small oilcloth bag from his arms and opened it carefully.
Inside is a slightly wrinkled red wedding invitation.
Of all the things Na Sheng gave her, this was the only thing she treasured and took away.
She raised her eyes to face Wu Mu, her eyes twinkling with stars, a smile on her lips, and she said a few words.
"Fool……"
"Husband..."
Two lines of tears rolled down Wu Mu's eyes. This was the wedding invitation written by him himself.
He didn't expect to see Ye Chuyan again in this life.
She called her husband.
She is his living wife, not a spiritual tablet or a corpse.
He couldn't help but hold Ye Chuyan's face and kiss it gently.
Ye Chuyan responded to him tremblingly.
Everything in the outside world seemed to disappear, and there were only two of them left in the world.
Resurrection from the dead and meeting in a different place made them put all their love and longing on this kiss.
They don't need too many words to understand each other's heart.
After a long time, Wu Mu reluctantly let go of Ye Chuyan and found that her lips were a little red and swollen from his kiss.
He hugged Ye Chuyan tightly and rubbed her hard in his arms.
"Madam, no matter what happens in the future, I will be here."
Ye Chuyan pressed his face against Wu Mu's heart again.
"I know that you are the only one in this world who will never lie to me."
"Tuk-tuk-" Suddenly there was a knock on the door outside.
Wu Mu suddenly became alert and asked, "Who?"
Xia Houhuai shouted outside: "Brother Wu, something happened, the lantern display event is cancelled."
Wu Mu lowered his head and whispered to Ye Chuyan: "You hide in the closet first, and I'll send him away."
Ye Chuyan nodded and hid in the closet.
Wu Mu gathered her emotions and opened the door.
A dejected Xia Houhuai stood outside.
"Brother Wu, something happened in the palace, and the future queen ran away. The people from the Eagle Master just came to find the queen."
"That tyrant Na Sheng was angry. He canceled tonight's Lantern Festival and even sealed the city."
"At this moment, all the people on the street have been driven home. The streets are full of officers and soldiers, who are searching house to house."
"You can't take your sweetheart to watch the lanterns take off. You have to stay here for a while longer and wait until Star City is unblocked before you can leave."
Wu Mu said calmly: "Well, it doesn't matter."
Xiahou Huai sighed deeply.
"Brother Wu, I'm sorry, I didn't expect this. Your wish can't be realized."
Wu Mu shook his head, "I don't blame you, thank you for letting me stay at Qizhao Inn."
These words had no beginning or end. Xiahou Huai thought that Wu Mu was trying to thank him for letting him continue to live here, so he scratched his head and felt a little embarrassed.
"Brother Wu, why are you so polite? If you want, you can live here."
"By the way, there will be no lights tonight. You have nothing to do. Why don't we go downstairs and have a drink..."
Xia Houhuai's emotions came and went quickly. When he thought of drinking, his eyes immediately lit up.
"You have seen my elder brother's drinking capacity, but you have not seen mine. Today, I will let you see my drinking capacity..."
Wu Mu interrupted him with a very gentle tone.
"No, I want to stay with my wife in the house."
Xiahou Huai's face suddenly froze.
When he thought of the spiritual tablet in Wu Mu's package, he felt sad.
"Okay, I won't disturb you anymore."
"If you need anything, just ask me. If you need a drink to relieve your worries, you can come to me anytime."
Wu Mu smiled slightly at him and said, "Thank you, Xiahou Huai."
Xiahou Huai felt that Wu Mu was a little strange. He was still the same person, but he couldn't tell what had changed.
It seems that there is no such loneliness as the previous two days, and it seems to be more alive.
I didn't seem too disappointed when I found out that the light show was cancelled.
He thought for a moment and couldn't figure out the reason. He didn't bother to think deeply about such a puzzling question, and smiled at Wu Mu twice.
"Brother Wu, you are too polite. If nothing happens, I will go back first."
After saying that, he cupped his hands and left.
Wu Mu closed the door and fastened the bolt carefully.
Turning around, he saw Ye Chuyan looking at him with bright eyes.
He suddenly felt a sense of happy satisfaction, and the corners of his mouth also raised.
No matter how difficult it is, they are with each other at this moment.
"Madam, let me take you out of here."
As long as they can leave Star City, they will have a lot of time together.
Ye Chuyan sniffed, pursed his lips and smiled.
"Um."
Wu Mu pulled Ye Chuyan to sit at the table, took her right hand, and carefully studied the plain gold bracelet on her hand.
When Ye Chuyan told him what happened in Beirong Palace just now, he thought this bracelet was the weirdest.
Before Na Sheng climbed up the stairs, he went over and brought a simple gold bracelet to Ye Chuyan, which was unreasonable no matter how he thought about it.
Unless the bracelet has a special meaning.
If they want to escape smoothly, they must first throw away the bracelet.
Ye Chuyan said quietly: "When I escaped, I tried several times, but I couldn't get rid of this bracelet. It seems to contain a trap."
"I haven't had time to understand the mechanism of this bracelet yet."
Wu Mu stared at the bracelet intently, frowning slightly.
The room was very quiet, and Ye Chuyan raised his head to meet Wu Mu's face.
He looked particularly steady when he lowered his head in meditation.
He is no longer the wanton and flamboyant boy he was before, and has become a mature man who stands alone.
This is her only relative in the world, and the man who will spend the rest of her life with her.
When he thought of this, Ye Chuyan felt full and indescribably content.
Wu Mu's brows gradually widened.
He raised the corners of his lips and smiled.
"I know the secret of this bracelet."
※
At this moment, Beirong Palace.
The open space outside the Leopard Tail Hall was filled with kneeling courtiers.
Huan Zhengqing knelt at the front.
With tears in his eyes, he prayed loudly to the gate of the Leopard Tail Hall: "Your Majesty, the Lantern Festival cannot be cancelled—"
All the officials behind him shouted together, "Please, Your Majesty, ascend the tower."
The sound lingered over the Leopard Tail Hall and lingered for a long time.
There was still a quarter of an hour before Xu's hour, but Na Sheng announced the cancellation of today's Lantern Festival because he could not find the escaped queen.
When Huan Zhengqing found out, he almost fainted on the spot.
The Ten Thousand Lanterns Festival has been a tradition since the founding of the Beirong Dynasty. Only on this day can the emperors of Beirong climb the tower and recite prayers to pray to heaven to bless the Beirong country and the people, and have good weather.
This is an event that Beirong must not cancel.
Even if the emperor doesn't act according to the rules, he can't act like this and ignore the entire Beirong national destiny.
Na Sheng was in the Leopard Tail Hall, pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back, his face as sinking as water, and his whole body full of evil aura.
This group of courtiers didn’t wink at all, so what about the Lantern Festival?
He relies on himself to snatch and tame the things he wants, and never relies on God to bless them.
If he can't find Ye Chuyan, then he will smash all the statues of gods and Buddhas in Beirong and poke a hole in the sky.
He doesn't need heaven's protection, he is Beirong's heaven!
The eunuchs and maids of the Leopard Tail Palace knelt on the ground and shook themselves into a sieve.
Only Lai Quan was still a little calm. He had never seen Na Sheng so anxious. After thinking for a long time, he whispered comfort: "Your Majesty, don't worry."
"The Eagle Master's people will be back soon, and they will definitely find the Queen."
Na Sheng looked at Lai Quan on the ground, and the pressure and murderous aura on his body almost crushed Lai Quan.
If he hadn't promised Ye Chuyan not to kill anyone because of her escape, he would have cut Laiquan into pieces and fed it to the tiger.
At this moment, he really wanted to kill everyone in and outside the palace, including the officials kneeling outside the palace.
After he learned that Ye Chuyan escaped from the palace disguised as a young eunuch and went to Qizhuo Inn in a swagger, he immediately ordered the Yingshi people to search Qizhuo Inn.
Ye Chuyan's trick was false and true. He deceived himself once, but not twice.
He was certain that Ye Chuyan must be hiding in a corner of Qizhao Inn at this moment.
When Lai Quan met Sheng's deep and piercing eyes, a chill ran down his back, and he immediately fell to the ground without daring to make a sound.
When he learned today that the queen had really escaped from the palace, his heart was filled with despair.
He thought that the emperor would be the first to kill him, but to his surprise, the emperor didn't kill anyone. He just sealed the palace and the city and canceled the Lantern Festival.
This brief introduction is so kind.
At this moment, he just wanted to pray that the Eagle Master's people would find the Queen quickly.
Because since the queen moved into Fengyi Palace, the emperor has not killed anyone for a long time. This was completely unbelievable before.
Soon, the leader of the Eagle Master passed through the hundreds of officials kneeling outside the hall and walked quickly into the Leopard Tail Hall.
As soon as he entered, he knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, my subordinates are incompetent and have not found the Queen."
Na Sheng gritted his teeth and said, "Say it again!"
The leader of the Eagle Master was forced to vomit a mouthful of blood due to the internal force released from Na Sheng.
Enduring the pain of internal injuries, he took out a handful of gold leaves from his sleeves and raised them high with both hands.
"These are the gold leaves that the queen left in the private room. The waiter said that she left these gold leaves and disappeared from the private room."
"My subordinates are incompetent. They searched Qizhao Inn and couldn't find the queen."
Na Sheng leaned over and picked up a piece of gold leaf and smelled it. It seemed that there was still the scent of Ye Chuyan on it.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, crushed the golden leaves with one force, and spoke a few words from between his teeth.
"Leave the palace! I want to find the queen myself!"
