The leaves fall without parallel

next day

At the city gate, on a tall black horse, Xiao Lingye was wearing silver armor, his whole body glowing with a faint silver light, his black hair was tied high with a jade crown, and a blue dragon sword was hung at his waist. His eyebrows were sharp and his eyes were bright, and his cold face exuded a sense of majesty. Behind him was a mighty army, about to rush to the battlefield.

A long time passed, and the accompanying army had already set off. Xiao Lingye glanced behind him, but did not see the familiar figure.

Why did it take her so long to pay her respects to the Queen Mother? Could it be that she had forgotten the time of his departure?

Xuan Lie on the side urged

"Your Highness, it's time to go."

"hold on"

He wanted to take one more look at her before he could leave with peace of mind. Half an hour later, he felt that if he didn't leave now, he might not be able to keep up with the group. Just as he turned around to leave, a familiar voice rang out.

"Your Highness, wait a minute, I—"

Ye Qingge came jogging from the crowd, carrying a lot of bags with unknown things hanging on her body.

Xiao Lingye looked at her in the crowd, running towards him. At this time, her eyebrows were already curved with a smile. His beloved concubine has always been so beautiful and lovely.

Ye Qingge ran to Xiao Lingye breathlessly and threw all the baggage on him.

"Your Highness, there are some food and daily necessities in here, as well as some medicine for external injuries. Oh, and this can cure all kinds of poisons."

Ye Qingge put a white porcelain bottle into his hand

"I've already put the formula for the medicine in there. Also, there's some beef jerky I brought from Xining. I've been keeping it so dearly and can't bear to eat it. I'm giving it all to Your Highness. The food in the army must be terrible..."

Xiao Lingye looked at her with a mixture of laughter and tears as she kept talking non-stop. He didn't even have a chance to speak.

Finally, Ye Qingge pulled him down from the horse's back mysteriously and whispered in his ear:

"Your Highness, I have already written a letter to my uncle. He will definitely send troops to support Your Highness. Your Highness, don't worry."

Xiao Lingye was both moved and wanted to laugh at this moment. Why did he feel that she was giving instructions to her son who was about to go on a long journey?

"My beloved concubine, are you raising me as your own son?"

She talked about every detail, making him seem like he couldn't take care of himself.

Xuan Lie couldn't help laughing at the side, but Xiao Lingye glared back at him. Xuan Lie had no choice but to ride his horse forward a few steps.

Ye Qingge curled her lips and said

"Your Highness, aren't I worried that you might be hungry, thirsty, or tired on the road?"

Xiao Lingye grabbed the back of her head and lowered his head to give her a deep kiss on the lips.

This scene happened to be reflected in someone's eyes

Xiao Lingche was sitting in a carriage not far away. He just wanted to see his fifth brother off for the last time, but he never expected to see this dazzling scene as soon as he opened the curtain.

He clenched his hands tightly on his knees, his veins bulging, and his chest ached slightly. He groaned and had to lower the curtain to cover his chest.

Xiao Lingye! I wonder how long you can continue to be so proud.

Xiao Lingye saw the carriage of Prince Xuan's mansion from the corner of his eye, and when the curtain was lowered, he let go of Ye Qingge.

There was a cry of surprise from the crowd

"Wow, His Royal Highness is so romantic!"

"Legend has it that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and his Princess are extremely loving. The rumors are true."

"Yeah, yeah, for the first time, I hope the rumors are true."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and his wife are truly a match made in heaven."

"You say, how beautiful the children they give birth to will be."

"You two are so good-looking, it wouldn't be too much to have more children, right?"

……

The people who were eating melons kept chattering, and Ye Qingge was so embarrassed that she had nowhere to hide.

But Xiao Lingye continued to say in her ear

"The moves you used on me last night are still making me savor them. When I come back, will you let me experience them again?"

After hearing this, Ye Qingge's cheeks flushed again. She nodded slightly, and Xiao Lingye finally let her go with satisfaction.

"Okay, I'm really leaving. You have to take good care of yourself, okay?"

"Well, Your Majesty, please take care of yourself on this journey."

Ye Qingge's eyes began to turn red, and her voice was choked with sobs. Xiao Lingye looked down at her and nodded slightly. He knew that if he didn't leave now, he would definitely be reluctant to leave.

Xiao Lingye gave Ye Qingge a final, deep look before spurring his horse and galloping away. Ye Qingge turned and ran up the city wall, watching Xiao Lingye's receding figure and shouting,

"Your Highness, I will wait for you to come back——"

Knowing that he might not be able to hear, Ye Qingge still stood on the city wall and muttered to herself

"You must come back safely..."

Until their figures disappeared, Ye Qingge still stood there for a long time without leaving.

Xiao Lingche looked at Ye Qingge's worried expression on the city wall, and couldn't control his jealousy. But it didn't matter, she would be his sooner or later.

……

Qingxia stepped forward and said

"Crown Princess, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already left. Let's go back to the palace."

"it is good"

Ever since she was kidnapped by Xiao Lingche last time, she didn't dare to stay outside the palace any longer. They returned to the palace.

In the days that followed, Ye Qingge spent most of her time in the East Palace except for paying respects to the Queen.

She originally thought that she could live a peaceful life like this and wait for Ling Ye to come back, but she didn't expect that the expected thing would happen.

On this day, after lunch, Ye Qingge, as usual, took the needle and thread and carefully sewed a small piece of clothing, her eyes full of tenderness and love.

Qingxia held a fan and helped her cool down.

"The Crown Princess didn't eat much for lunch today, so I made you some sour plum cake. Come and try it."

Xiao Mi came in with a tray

Ye Qingge put down the needle and thread in her hand, looked up happily and said

"Give it to me quickly to try."

Ye Qingge took a piece of sour plum cake and put it in her mouth. The sour and sweet taste instantly filled her mouth. Only then did she feel a little better in her stomach.

She couldn't help but eat several pieces in a row, and was finally persuaded by Qingxia

"Princess, although plum cakes are delicious, eating too much will damage your spleen and stomach."

Ye Qingge reluctantly put down the sour plum cake in her hand. She didn't want to eat other foods at all. Only this sour plum cake made her feel alive. But she really couldn't eat too much.

"Take it away, don't let me see it."

"Here"

Ye Qingge picked up the needle and thread and continued to sew. After a few stitches, she felt a prick on her hand.

"hiss"

Ye Qingge cried out in pain. She raised her hand and saw the blood on her index finger. She couldn't help but sigh. When would her needlework improve?

Qingxia quickly took the medicine and gauze to bandage Ye Qingge. Ye Qingge smiled and said

"It's just a small needle prick, no need to bandage it."

At this moment, the sound of fighting suddenly came from the door. Ye Qingge was shocked. She and Qingxia looked at each other. What was going on?

“Go and have a look”

"Here"

As soon as Qingxia ran to the door, she was frightened by the scene in front of her.

There were a pile of corpses lying in the yard, and she had a bad feeling.

At this moment, a familiar face appeared in front of me

"Your Highness? You can't go in. This is the East Palace!"

Qingxia blocked the door tightly

"Step aside!"

Xiao Lingche kicked Qingxia to the ground, and Qingxia spurted out a mouthful of blood. She turned her head and shouted at Ye Qingge:

"Crown Princess, run... run!"

Then fainted

Seeing this sudden change, Ye Qingge quickly stood up and ran towards the door. When she saw Xiao Lingche, she couldn't help but take a few steps back.

"Xiao Lingche, what are you doing here?!"
