Ning Dao Covered with Snow

Chapter 250 Xie Tanyu (Part )
The baby who was still sleeping did not hear what Xie Tanyu said.

Even if he heard it, he didn't understand the meaning.

Xie Tanyu raised her head, tears in her eyes, filled with reluctance and worry.

"Your Highness, take care."

He kowtowed heavily again, then stood up and strode out the door.

Yan Ci Wan wanted to follow, but the moment she stepped out of the room, the scene in front of her suddenly disappeared, and she was surrounded by thick white fog.

After she turned around, she finally saw Xie Tanyu's back again.

At this moment, he was still wearing the scarlet official uniform, but his body had obviously become much thinner and more hunched.

At the same time, many blurry figures appeared around. They pointed at Xie Tanyu and discussions came from all directions.

"If it weren't for the help of Crown Prince Renxian, he would have been charged with cheating in the imperial examinations. How could he have been an official in the court? But he turned against us at the critical moment. He is really a mean person who repays kindness with hatred!"

"What scholars like us value most is integrity. We are not willing to associate with people who are so treacherous as him!"

"I heard that Prince Renxian was killed by him. God is so unfair. Why did he let the kind and generous Prince Renxian die? The one who really deserves to die is the despicable Xie Tanyu!"

"Doesn't the Saint have a close relationship with Prince Renxian? Why didn't the Saint just kill Xie Tanyu?!"

"This kind of villain is not worthy of being an official!"

……

Malicious words linger in my ears.

Yan Ciwan looked towards Xie Tanyu. He didn't even glance at the people around him. He just walked forward alone. From beginning to end, he never looked back.

She followed Xie Tanyu for an unknown amount of time.

The cursing voices lingered.

The white mist gradually dissipated, and Yan Ciwan found himself in the study. The desk was piled with files, and Xie Tanyu was sitting behind the desk.

At this moment, he was exactly the same as the Xie Tanyu that Yan Ciwan knew. There were deep wrinkles at the corners of his eyes and mouth, and a short beard under his chin. Although he was only in his forties, his temples were already gray.

He picked up the paper cutter, carefully opened the envelope, and pulled out a thin piece of letter paper.

He leaned closer to the candlelight and read the contents of the letter carefully.

Yan Ciwan walked behind him and lowered her head to read the letter. The paper was filled with words.

"I am glad to receive your letter, Tan Yu. I have not seen you for many years. I hope you are still well. I am getting older and I often recall the past. Whenever I think of the deaths of the prince, Han Shi, Yun Zhao, Nan Xu and others, my heart aches.

Yunzhao's son Lingzhou has grown up and is quite like his father. He often plays with Liulang and the two have a very close relationship.

Chusong is Hanshi's only child. Please take good care of her. I heard that she will get married soon. I will write the good news in a letter and burn it for Hanshi. Hanshi will be comforted in his netherworld.

Nan Xu was the youngest and passed away before he got married, leaving behind no children. This is a great regret in my heart.

I am risking my life to send you this message to tell you an important thing. Liu Lang has found the descendants of Ning family. The poison of Luo Xian Weng in his body is expected to be eliminated. Liu Lang's life can be saved. You and I can finally rest assured.

I have sent a message to Liu Lang, asking him to stop by Yizhou on his way back to Chang'an, and you can meet him then.

Also, your secret investigation of Prince Renxian has been exposed, and your life may be in danger. Please take care of yourself, and I hope we can meet again in the future."

The writing on the paper began to double.

Yan Ciwan looked carefully and found that it was not his eyes that were dazzled, but that Xie Tanyu's fingers holding the letter paper were trembling slightly.

Tears welled up in his eyes, and he choked up and said, "Your Highness, did you see that? The little prince has found the descendants of the Ning family. He can be saved!"

Yan Ciwan looked at his profile. Although there were tears in his eyes, he had a smile on his face.

He looked very happy and couldn't help reading the letter carefully again.

He kept saying: "Great, great!"

Knock knock knock, there was a knock on the door.

Afeng's voice came through the door.

"Sir, dinner is ready. Would you like to eat in the study?"

"Let's go to the next room to eat."

"Yes." The footsteps outside the door faded away.

Xie Tanyu wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and placed the letter above the candlelight.

The flames licked the corner of the letter and spread upwards.

He loosened his fingers and let the letter fall into the brazier and turn into ashes.

Yan Ciwan watched him stand up and walk briskly towards the next room.

When he pushed open the side door, Yan Ciwan saw a young and beautiful maid standing in the ear room. It was Aqin.

Ah Qin's eyes were like waves, and she bowed gracefully: "Would you like a drink, sir?"

If it were in the past, Xie Tanyu would definitely refuse.

But today he was in such a good mood that he couldn't help but make an exception.

"it is good."

The side door was closed from the inside, blocking Yan Ciwan's view.

Yan Ci Wan did not follow. She knew that these were things that had happened in the past. Even if she knew what Aqin would do next, she would be powerless to stop her.

She is a lonely soul, a passer-by in this time and space.

The scene before my eyes changed again.

She was in a tea room with the window half open, a ray of cool sunlight slanted in.

Xie Tanyu and Xiao Qie sat opposite each other. There was tea set on the coffee table between them. On the small stove beside them, a copper kettle was bubbling and emitting hot steam.

They drank tea and chatted.

Most of the time, Xiao Qie talked about trivial matters of his family, and Xie Tanyu listened quietly, especially when Xiao Qie talked about his sixth brother, Xie Tanyu would involuntarily sit up straight and listen very carefully.

There was a knock on the door and Afeng stood outside the door with his hands crossed in greeting.

"Your Excellency, the Sixth Prince of the Xiao Family wishes to see you."

Xie Tanyu's hands trembled and she almost spilled the tea in the pot.

Xiao Qi immediately said: "Liu Lang should be here to see me, I won't bother him..."

Xie Tanyu put down the teapot: "Why are you leaving in such a hurry when you haven't even finished your tea? Are you blaming me for not hosting you well enough?"

"You are joking."

Xie Tanyu tried to persuade him to stay, saying, "You are going back to Chang'an soon. After this separation, it will be difficult for us to meet again in the future. I have ordered people to prepare wine and food to see you off. Please you and Liu Lang must give me this favor."

Xiao Qi had no choice but to accept the other party's kindness.

After a while, Afeng came to the tea room with someone.

The man wore a loose black Taoist robe, his black hair was tied up with a simple ebony hairpin, his face was as handsome as jade, and his demeanor was as elegant as pine and cypress.

It was Xiao Wang.

He greeted Xiao Qi and Xie Tanyu.

Xie Tanyu still maintained his sitting posture, but his upper body had turned around and he was looking at Xiao Wang with burning eyes.

To outsiders, it seems that it is the elders' appreciation for the younger ones.

However, Yan Ciwan knew very well that it was actually their reunion after twenty years.

At this moment, Xie Tanyu's chest was filled with strong nostalgia and joy.

He couldn't help but call out: "Little..."

Yan Ciwan knew that he wanted to call him Little Prince.

But in the end, he changed his mind abruptly.

"Xiao Liulang, no need to be polite, please take a seat."

The tone was polite yet distant, as if the person was a stranger he had never met before.

I just realized that I wrote it but didn’t publish it!!
