Quick Wear: I raised this little wolf cub

After returning to the palace, Butler Wang reported Li Xing's words to Yun Shen, who waved his hand and asked him to leave.

Yun Shen repeated, "Have a good rest. It's time to have a good rest."

333: ...emmmm, it thinks the host is going to cause trouble

Yun Shen had his luggage packed, the carriage prepared, and he left the city. It was three days later when Li Xing received the news.

Three days passed, and Li Xing still could only rely on tranquilizers to fall asleep at night. This night, he had difficulty falling asleep even after taking the medicine. Li Xing got up and called the secret guard.

Li Xing: "An Yi, go see what the Regent is doing?"

As a secret guard, An Yi shouldn't have questioned his master's decision, but he was there to protect His Majesty's safety. "Your Majesty, the secret guards must protect your safety closely. Only An Yi is on duty tonight, and An Yi cannot leave you even a step."

Li Xing: "Forget it, I will go and see it myself tomorrow." With the joy of meeting the Regent tomorrow, the little emperor finally fell asleep.

The next day, after the court session, the little emperor, who had not even changed out of his court robes, hurried to the Regent's Palace, but was told that the Regent had left the city three days ago.

Li Xing looked at Butler Wang: "What did you say? I didn't hear you clearly?"

Steward Wang repeated, "Your Majesty, the prince left the city three days ago. I don't know where he went. Before he left, he just said he was going to visit various places and that he would not be back for an unknown date."

Li Xing was completely stunned and could only mutter "The return date is uncertain, the return date is uncertain." Li Xing did not expect that the Regent would leave the capital in just three days.

Li Xing returned to the palace in a daze. He no longer had the heart to deal with state affairs. His only thought was that the Regent had left him. If Yun Shen never came back in this life, would he never see him again? No, the Regent would come back. Dali could not live without him, and neither could he.

Li Xing only had regrets now. He shouldn't have agreed to the selection of a concubine, and shouldn't have tried to let go. As long as Yun Shen could come back, he didn't want anything else. Even if he married a male queen, he wouldn't have let Dali down. Even if there was no successor, there were so many people in the Li family, so there was no need to worry about choosing an heir. He shouldn't have thought about sacrifice from the beginning. He had already devoted himself to Dali, and all he wanted was Yun Shen.

He wanted to wait for the regent to come back, and when he came back, he would tell him that he wanted to marry him as his queen, and there would be no one else from then on.

Li Xing didn't expect that he would have to wait for half a year.

In the end, he delayed the selection ceremony on the grounds that the late emperor had left a verbal will that the future empress must obtain the regent's consent before she can be enthroned. As a result, all the civil and military officials in the court began to wait for the regent to return.

During this period, some people asked where the Regent had gone. Li Xingtong dismissed the question by saying that I had sent the Regent to various places in Dali to understand the people's sentiments. But in fact, he sent many spies to look for him, but there was no news. He also issued an order to the governors of various places: I have sent the Regent to understand the people's sentiments. If you, the Regent, learn that the Regent has appeared in your jurisdiction, you must take good care of the Regent and report to me.

On the surface, he ordered all places to take care of the Regent, but in fact he wanted to know the news about the Regent and where he was, but there had been no news at all in the past six months.

Li Xing even wondered whether the Regent had gone to another country, so he couldn't find him. He also tried to send people to look for him in neighboring countries, but after all, it was not the territory of Dali, so he could only search quietly to avoid alerting other countries and causing war.

Half a year had passed, and he relied on tranquilizers to barely fall asleep every day. Sometimes he would just sit there all night, thinking about his past with the Regent. Every time Imperial Physician Li advised him, he would just tell him to be more careful next time.

Over the past six months, his health has been deteriorating. He is not yet twenty years old, but his body is already that of a thirty-year-old. The imperial doctors are very worried about his health, but he can do nothing.

Finally, after a morning court session one day, Butler Wang came to the palace with the regent's token to ask for an audience. Li Xing was overjoyed, thinking that the regent must have some news, so he asked someone to bring Butler Wang over.

Just as Butler Wang was about to salute, Li Xing stopped him, "But is there any news about the Regent?"

Steward Wang's face was as bright as a flower as he replied joyfully, "Yes, Your Majesty, the prince is back, and he brought the regent princess with him. The prince knew that Your Majesty had delayed the selection ceremony because of him, and the prince wanted to come and apologize in person, but the princess was pregnant, and had some difficulty acclimatizing in the capital, so the prince was taking care of her, so he asked me to report first. The prince said that he would come to apologize to Your Majesty in person tomorrow morning."

Li Xing just felt that he was hallucinating. What about the Regent Princess, what about being pregnant, what about not adapting to the local climate, what were all these things.

The butler reported excitedly that their Regent Palace had a successor, and the whole palace was beaming with joy. But seeing the expression on His Majesty's face, it looked as if he had heard bad news. Could it be that His Majesty was angry that the prince did not come to report in person? He could only excuse the prince again: "Please forgive His Majesty, the prince is a new father, so he is a little nervous about the princess. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Li Xing no longer felt any joy; he felt as if the sky had fallen. He reluctantly let Butler Wang leave. He returned to his bedroom like a wandering soul, feeling ridiculous.

Looking at the letter paper that he had treasured for half a year, the words on it were soaked by his tears, and the handwriting was a little blurred, but he could still make out that there were only a few words "goodbye" between the emperor and his subjects. The Regent had already told him the ending, and he had been waiting until now with a glimmer of hope, but he only got the news that he got married and had children. So during the half year he waited for the Regent, the Regent was enjoying the moonlight with other women. So why did he come back now?

He also knew that he had delayed the talent show for him, but he did not choose to come back, nor did he think of asking him for whom, because that was no longer important to him. From beginning to end, he was the only one immersed in that unspeakable relationship, persisting alone.

Li Xing thought of the dream he had a long time ago. In that dream, the regent also married a princess, a woman named Bai Yue. This time, is it her again? Li Xing suddenly wanted to go and take a look. He thought it would be good to go and take a look, so that he could completely give up.

Li Xing left the palace and sat in the carriage, thinking about what he would say when he met the Regent and what the Regent would say when he met him.

Soon they arrived at the Regent's Palace. Li Xing got off the carriage and Butler Wang took him through the front yard to the backyard. He saw a woman lying on a chaise longue under a sandalwood tree. His Regent was fanning the woman to cool her down. The two smiled at each other. Li Xing felt that it was particularly inappropriate for him to be standing there. Not long ago, he had been treated like this by the Regent, but now it was all just an illusion.
