Su Yun looked at Xiao Lusheng.

Xiao Lusheng patted her shoulder to reassure her, then turned and walked out of the room.

The sound of Xiao Lusheng closing the door could be heard.

The room fell silent instantly.

Su Yun's face was slightly flushed.

When Rong Xun looked at her, his heart was pounding. He said, "I came back not so that you would fulfill your promise—"

Rather, I've realized that if I don't come back, perhaps you and Xiao Lusheng will misunderstand that I genuinely hope you two can grow old together in love and happiness.

Su Yun looked at him and smiled.

Rong Xun felt a little embarrassed, and a faint blush crept onto his ears. "Yun'er, you have to believe me."

"Oh."

Oh--

Her answer was indifferent.

This made Rong Xun feel uneasy. At this point, he seemed to have lost all his strength and had no idea what was the best thing for her and Xiao Lusheng.

And he himself was a mess.

Seeing his somewhat guilty expression, Su Yun felt a pang of sympathy. "I believe you. Don't belittle yourself or feel sorry for anyone anymore."

"You have never wronged anyone."

Rong Xun breathed a sigh of relief.

"When did you get this?"

"What?" Before the words were even finished.

Rong Xun saw Su Yun take out a handkerchief with the character 'Yun' on it from her sleeve. The handkerchief was somewhat worn.

His head buzzed, and his face flushed.

Su Yun continued, "I can't remember any of it."

Rong Xun felt extremely embarrassed.

"This was dropped on the ground after Jingwen washed and changed you. When he carried you out to clean it, it was left for me to pick up. When exactly was this?"

Rong Xun was extremely embarrassed. "The Heavenly Prison, the one where we dealt with Li Juanling."

Su Yun suddenly realized that at the time, she remembered that the handkerchief was stained with blood, and afterwards, no one would think about what to do with the handkerchief.

Rong Xun was extremely embarrassed. "I'm sorry, I felt this handkerchief was stained with blood and was dirty, so after I washed it, I—"

"Then let them stay," Su Yun interrupted him.

A glint flashed in Rong Xun's eyes as he looked at Yun'er, his feelings quite complicated. She meant that he could stay openly and legitimately.

"Your body is still too weak. You must take good care of yourself in the future. Otherwise, Xiao Lusheng and I will still be able to travel all over the Zhou Kingdom, but you will not be able to walk anymore."

"will not."

"Whether or not, I have no idea."

Rong Xun pursed his lips and asked, "Do you want to travel in the future?"

"Hmm." Su Yun said, looking at Rong Xun, "Cangyun Kingdom, everything is very good. Chen'er and the others have managed it very well."

"That would be great."

Even if Su Yun hadn't said it, Rong Xun could have calculated that Cangyun Kingdom was currently powerful and had excellent national fortune, and that it would enjoy great power for the next few hundred years.

The next day.

Besides Xiao Yao, Xiao Chen, Xie Ying, Xie Yun Chu, Xiao Zhen Zhen, and Zhou Yi Qing all came to the Imperial Observatory to visit Rong Xun.

noon.

After Xiao Yao left court, everyone dined together.

The four little ones, Xiao Nuomi, didn't want the palace servants to serve them food; they all wanted Su Yun and Xiao Lusheng to put food on their plates.

"Grandfather, Grandmother, I want to eat this."

"Grandmother, I want one too, I want one too."

The four children were like four helpless infants.

Su Yun and Xiao Lusheng were both busy and flustered, while the noise of the children made the dining hall very lively.

During the gathering, Xiao Chen gave a brief report on the changes and achievements of the Cangyun Kingdom in recent years.

Xiao Yao said, "From the memorials and the laws that have been amended in recent years, I know that Cangyun has now officially entered the era that my father and mother had been looking forward to."

Women are no longer confined to the home; husbands and wives have equal rights; and the order of the entire Cangyun Kingdom is steadily progressing.

Xiao Chen nodded, "Exactly."

"It's good, but there are still some officials and even scholar-officials who have one wife and multiple concubines. Those are because the concubines have no ability to earn a living and they voluntarily stay. But in the future, having multiple concubines will never be legal again."

"These phenomena are normal, but official documents, household registration management, and all other aspects are already finished. In the future, no one can, and will, take a concubine."

"..."

When everyone talked about the current situation of Cangyun Kingdom, everyone was very happy and satisfied.

Xiao Lusheng, Su Yun, and Rong Xun were the same.

However, the three of them were somewhat embarrassed.

Two days later.

When Xiao Lusheng got up, he didn't see Su Yun, but he did see a letter on the table. In the letter, she said that she longed to see all the mountains and rivers in the world. She had said that she wanted to see deserts, mountains and rivers, and travel around the world, but she had never been able to. So, she decided to go and see them.

At the same time, we hope that Xiao Lusheng will tell the children to forgive her for leaving without saying goodbye.

Leaving without saying goodbye

Thinking back to last night, after they had made love to each other, she hugged him and cried.

It turned out that her tears weren't the usual fleeting moments of extreme happiness, but rather a knot in her heart that she couldn't untie, which was why she cried for so long.

He still remembered that Yun'er asked him if he would go to find her if she hid.

He said he would search the ends of the earth for her, and Yun'er smiled and kissed him for a long, long time—

"Yun'er!"

Xiao Lusheng's eyes instantly reddened.

She set off alone.

In case of any danger!

Xiao Lusheng simply couldn't believe it—

After leaving Yonghua Palace.

Xiao Lusheng went straight to the Imperial Observatory. He didn't know if Yun'er had told Rong Xun where she was going.

When Xiao Lusheng arrived at the Imperial Observatory.

Rong Xun was having breakfast at the time.

Seeing Xiao Lusheng's anxious appearance, his heart skipped a beat. "What happened?"

"Yun'er is gone."

"what?"

Rong Xun was very shocked.

Why would Yun'er leave alone and run away by herself?

Xiao Lusheng showed Rong Xun the letter left by Su Yun.

After reading the contents of the letter, Rong Xun was also somewhat shocked.

But then he suddenly remembered that the other day, Yun'er had told him that if he didn't rest properly, he wouldn't be able to walk when he traveled to the Zhou Kingdom in the future—

Then, recalling what Xiao Chen and Xiao Yao said at lunch the day before yesterday—that Cangyun Kingdom had abolished polygamy and only allowed monogamy.

As a member of the royal family.

They should have been role models.

"I have to go find her." Xiao Lusheng looked at Rong Xun and said firmly, "She's all alone. Even though she's learned some kung fu over the years, her skills are still so rudimentary. I don't even want to think about what might happen if she runs into bad guys!"

Xiao Lusheng dared not think about it, and Rong Xun felt the same way. He immediately said, "I have to go find her too!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Lusheng turned and left the Imperial Observatory, disappearing from sight in no time.

Rong Xun did the same, immediately getting up to pack his valuables.

After Jingwen entered, he hurriedly asked, "Lord Rong, where are you going?"

"Jingwen, is there any money left in the room in Qingxigou?" Rong Xun asked.

Jingwen was completely confused. "Of course there is. That place has been fenced off, and no one is allowed to enter. But what do you need the travel money for?"
