Flowing Years

After burying the tragic death of the villagers and the Luo family's aunt, Lan Yu slowly walked into Bao Yan's room.

The sun shines in, like a warm golden haze drifting into the room.

Bo Yan slept peacefully, breathing shallowly.From the pillow to the body, there are dark moiré white thick, and the ink hair spreads to the top, which is very vivid.Lan Yu smiled, this thin statement has always been clean, but followed her into the barracks to accommodate everywhere.

Looking at Bao Yan's sleeping face, Lan Yu felt that time had stood still.By Bo Yan's side, there will always be a sense of peace of mind, as if all the chaos around him are drifting away.Even if time flies by, it will pass by in a leisurely and unhurried manner.If you are with you all your life, you will never be lonely.Thinking of this, Lan Yu gradually restrained her smile and sighed slightly.

"What's wrong?" Bo Yan opened his eyes.As soon as Lan Yu entered the door, he noticed it, but he adjusted his breath and listened quietly to his existence.Hearing his final breath, he couldn't help opening his eyes.

"Are you awake?" Lan Yu was surprised.

Bo Yan sat up slowly, pulled back his clothes, looked at the guilt in his eyes and said, "I'm a light sleeper. When you sigh, I naturally wake up."

Lan Yu leaned over to hug Bo Yan, put her hand on his back, and whispered in his ear: "I beg your forgiveness, Bo Yan."

Bo Yan was silent, lowering his eyes.On the way back to Beijing, I naturally thought of the tenderness of the concubine Ji in the mansion.Bo Yan didn't know how much weight he had, but the word "forgive" made him feel a little bit colder.Bo Yan calmed down and said, "What's the matter?"

Lan Yu tightened her arms and rested her head on his shoulder: "Jingli..." After saying two words, she couldn't say anything.It's normal for a prince to have three or five concubines, but he couldn't speak in front of Bo Yan, so he had to hug Bo Yan tightly.

"When did you become such a mother-in-law?" Bo Yan smiled wryly.

Lan Yu let go, looked at Bo Yan's cold eyes, raised his breath and said, "There are some concubines in the Jingli mansion..."

"Yeah." Bo Yan nodded.

Lan Yu was puzzled: "Aren't you angry?"

"From the very beginning when we met, we knew that there were many concubines in your family." Bo Yan reminded, but his heart tightened a little.It's only been a few days since I owned it, so it's going to be a showdown?

"En." Lan Yu nodded, but felt a little relieved, and then said, "Thinking of the kindness of husband and wife, I can't dismiss them, but I can't help you."

Bo Yan lowered his eyelids, and the words "I can't live with you" are in his ears.You can't help thinking of your love with them, but can you not live with me?

"If that's the case, would you still like to be with me forever?" Lan Yu lowered her eyelids, her face full of sadness and reluctance.

Bo Yan let go of his brows, finally felt relieved, nodded and said: "Yes."

Lan Yu smiled guiltily, embraced Bo Yan, and murmured: "I hate the timing, I have the king alone, and I will never leave."

"That's enough." Bo Yan wrapped his arms around Lan Yu's waist, paused for a moment and said, "I can't marry you, and I can't marry you, that's enough."

Even so, Lan Yu understood that Bo Yan had made another compromise to himself, and felt even more guilty towards Bo Yan.

It's not that Bo Yan doesn't care about those concubines at all.Before he met Lan Yu, he never thought that he would be in such a situation.Always proud, but repeatedly compromised because of emotions.It's just because of you, I said softly.

A few people had a simple lunch in this small village, and then they were going to go to Wuzhe Town.

"Anchang," Song Yunyi shook Luo Anchang's hand, and said, "Listen to the words of some adults on the road, don't talk to strangers."

"Brother General..." Luo An often condensed his tears and pursed his lips.

"When I return to Beijing, I will come to see you." Song Yunyi stroked Luo Anchang's drooping hair, and clasped fists at Bai Zezhi and Lan Yu.

Bai Zezhi and Lan Yu nodded.

Song Yunyi let go of his hand, turned and left, his thin black cloak fluttered lightly, his figure was resolute and bleak.The black figure quickly disappeared in the shade of the tree without a sound.

"Okay, let's get on the road quickly, and arrive at Wuzhe Town before sunset." Lan Yu said, "An Chang, you and Mu Lan stay together, and wait until the town, and then buy two carriages."

Bai Zezhi lay back on the carriage couch, Mu Lan and Luo An often sat on the side.Lan Yu and Bo Yan still rode on horseback.

Bai Zezhi lay on the couch and closed his eyes to rest.Luo'an was always there, and Bai Zezhi didn't speak, nor did he tell Mu Lan to lie down.

Mu Lan was as sleepy as a goose, she nodded her head forward, and finally fell down on the side of the couch at a corner, and Bai Zezhi immediately opened her eyelids in shock.But Mu Lan didn't say anything, her eyes were red, her mouth pouted, she simply sat on the ground, put her hands on the couch, and fell asleep on the side of the couch.

Bai Zezhi looked at Mu Lan, flashed a smile, and closed his eyes again.

Luo An Changben was sitting on the sidelines trembling. Seeing Bai Zezhi's smile, he felt a little more relaxed for no reason, his face was no longer tense, and his fingers were wrapped around the belt around his waist.That's all.

"This is Wuzhe Town, let's find an inn to stay." Lan Yu outside the car was talking.

Bai Zezhi opened his eyes.Mu Lan and An Chang raised half of the curtain and looked out.

"Amu, are you desperately looking for candies?" Bai Zezhi laughed as he looked at Mu Lan's half pouted body.

Mu Lan turned her head and stared at Bai Zezhi with wide eyes, hesitated for a long time and said: "...no... last time my teeth hurt..."

Bai Zezhi smiled, sat up, and reached out to hang up the curtain on one side.The setting sun has not yet set, and the afterglow has dyed the hot town golden.There are all kinds of shops on the side of the road, selling grain and rice, snacks, agricultural tools, pawnshops, tailors... all kinds of tricks flutter in the breeze.Besides the shops, there are small stalls and hawkers selling things, and of course there are jugglers.People come and go, bustling.Their carriage was moving very slowly on this road.

"Just this one." Lan Yu dismounted in front of an inn.

"Guest officer, please come inside~" Xiao Er greeted him joltingly.

"Xiao Er, why is it so lively today?" Lan Yu asked Xiao Er casually as she watched Bao Yan dismount and walk over.

"Hey, guest officer, it's the first time you've come across our Harvest Festival, isn't it?" Xiao Er poked his head, his eyes cracked into a smile.

"Yes, I've passed by here before, but it's never been so lively." Lan Yu said.

"The guest officer should take a good look at our Harvest Festival in Wuzhe, it's especially lively at night~" Xiaoer described the Harvest Festival with extra details.

Bai Zezhi and his party got out of the carriage and walked up to Lan Yu, and they entered the shop.

"Guest officer, do you want to stay at the top or stay in the hotel?" Xiaoer asked while leading in.

"Prepare a few rooms for us to rest. You go and ask someone to prepare some of the special food you just mentioned." Lan Yu glanced at Bo Yan, "Uh, find an elegant seat by the window."

"Okay~" Xiao Er grinned, leading them to the room.
