From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

Chapter 900

It was just dawn, the morning breeze was blowing, the trees were shaking, and the yellow leaves were falling all over the sky. The beauty of autumn was fully displayed at this moment.

Li Yu'an rode a horse and walked leisurely on the road, feeling very relaxed.

She didn't know the way to Xingangshe, but it was not difficult to ask along the way.

Traveling alone, she couldn't help but think of the time when she was wandering, when she didn't feel lonely.

Maybe it was because of hatred in her heart that she always wanted to accomplish something.

It's different now.

The princess of the fallen country and the wandering saint, there are people who like and love them.

Whenever she thought of this, her heart was always sweet, as if she had returned to a very young age, as if her whole mentality was much younger.

"It's just delivering the message, it's very simple. If this can't help you, then what use am I!"

Li Yu'an talked to herself, as if she thought of something, and covered her face and laughed again.

She walked into the village and saw an old man sitting on the doorstep, looking lonely into the distance.

Li Yu'an walked over and asked with a smile: "Old man, is this Xingangshe?"

The old woman looked at her and didn't say anything, but her expression was a little dull.

Li Yu'an was very patient, approached and whispered: "Old man, can you hear me? This is Xingangshe, right?"

The old woman waved her hand and pointed to her ears.

There was no expression on her face, only wrinkles and deep ravines.

She still looked ahead, motionless, letting the morning breeze blow her white hair, like a statue.

Li Yu'an looked at the dilapidated house and found that there was no one else, so she planned to ask another one.

She took a few steps and seemed to realize something. Looking back, the old man was still sitting there, looking quietly into the distance.

It was not until this moment that Li Yu'an suddenly realized that this family seemed to have only this old man left.

She sat here, as if waiting for someone to go home.

Old and frail, alone, poor, hungry, endless waiting...

How lonely and helpless this is.

Recalling my past self, it seems to be the same, just younger.

"Sister... Sister..."

The sudden voice made Li Yu'an startled.

She looked back and saw a little girl about five or six years old standing there, with messy hair and some broken leaves, looking very dirty.

Her clothes were tattered, and she was barefoot. Her feet were very dirty, her face was also dirty, not to mention her hands.

She was dirty all over.

Only her eyes were still bright, they were clear and clean.

"Little sister, is this Xingangshe?"

Li Yu'an squatted down slightly and asked softly.

The little girl nodded and said, "Yes, Xingangshe!"

Good! I didn't go wrong!

Li Yu'an smiled and said, "Where are the people here? Why is it so quiet?"

"They all left. I don't know where they went."

The little girl seemed very smart and seemed to know everything. Her voice was also very cute.

Li Yu'an said, "Do you know Ye Qingying?"

The little girl thought about it, and suddenly her eyes lit up, and she said, "It's the most beautiful sister! She often gives me food!"

Li Yu'an smiled and said, "Then take me to find her quickly, and I'll give you some too."

She took out a steamed bun from her arms. This was what she was going to eat on the way, but she thought that it would only take a day to go back, and her internal strength was deep, so it didn't matter if she didn't eat it.

The little girl was stunned for a moment, and she couldn't turn her eyes away from the steamed bun. She swallowed her saliva, dazed, and full of desire.

Li Yu'an quickly handed it to her and said, "Eat it quickly, eat it quickly."

"Is it okay?"

The little girl said, "If I eat it, what will my sister do?"

Li Yu'an was silent.

She forced a smile and said, "Sister, I'm not hungry. I still have some."

"That's good... Thank you, sister!"

The little girl took the steamed bun and ate it whole. Her extremely hungry appearance made people feel distressed.

Li Yu'an then noticed that she was as thin as a stick, obviously the kind of person who was hungry all year round.

"Eat slowly... Where are your parents?"

She couldn't help asking.

The little girl shook her head and said vaguely, "They are gone for a long time."

Did they die? Or what? It's hard to say.

Li Yu'an felt a little distressed and almost shed tears for a while.

Once upon a time, she was also a person with parents, but... In the end, she became an orphan and came to a strange place. At the most lively age, she had to stay in the mountains and practice Taoism.

She thought she was miserable enough, but she didn't expect that this child didn't even have a place to go, not even a full meal, and a piece of clothing.

The old have no one to rely on, and the young have no one to raise.

These eight words are so simple, but when you really seeAt that moment, you will know how sad it is.

"Little nephew, I know why you must come here."

"I thought I understood you well enough, but until now, I may not understand what you are really doing..."

Li Yu'an wiped her tears quietly, then looked at the little girl and smiled: "Little sister, take me to find sister Ye Qingying, okay?"

The little girl licked the corner of her mouth carefully, licking her fingers, which had the remnants of steamed buns on them.

Then she tilted her head and said: "But, they are gone, they left a long time ago, I don't know where they went."

Of course they went to the war, I know this...

Li Yu'an frowned and said: "Ye Qingying is gone too?"

"Yes, I haven't seen my sister for many days. If she is here, she will definitely bring me food."

At this point, the little girl is a little sad again.

Li Yu'an smiled bitterly and shook her head. "My little nephew, you have planned everything, but you didn't expect Ye Qingying to have evacuated long ago. I made a wasted trip. I hope it won't affect your big event."

She sighed and left slowly. After walking a few feet away, she couldn't help but look back.

The morning breeze blew, the fallen leaves flew, and the girl stood there, looking at herself obediently.

She was so thin...

At this moment, Li Yu'an's heart trembled a few times.

She opened her mouth and said, "Little sister, are you willing to go with me? I will support you."

The little girl couldn't laugh now. She just lowered her head with tears in her eyes.

Li Yu'an hurried over, squatted down and asked, "What's wrong?"

The little girl wiped her tears and whispered, "I... I want to wait for my parents to come back... I'm afraid they can't find me and will be anxious..."

Li Yu'an raised her head and tried not to let the tears flow out.

She whispered, "Little sister, come with me first, and come back to find your parents after a while, okay?"

"Sister has food, I'll give you eggs."

The little girl looked at her timidly and nodded weakly.

Li Yu'an was delighted, picked her up and said with a smile, "Don't worry, sister will protect you."

She seemed to be holding her former self.

She got on the horse, hugged the little girl in her arms, and said with a smile, "Hold on sister!"

"It hurts..."

The little girl couldn't help but say something.

Li Yu'an then realized that the corner of the letter in her arms had poked the little sister's face.

She smiled, pulled the letter out, and said, "It doesn't hurt now."

Seeing the letter in her hand, she frowned again. If she didn't find Ye Qingying, who would help her nephew complete the task?

Why don't I see if I can help?

She opened the letter casually, and then her expression gradually became stiff...

"This is the first time I lied to you, don't be angry, don't blame me."

This short sentence almost took half of Li Yu'an's life away.

Her body softened and her hands were shaking.

What does this mean? Did he...did he calculate that Ye Qingying was no longer there?

He deliberately sent me away?

What is he going to do?

Li Yu'an thought of Chikan City, and thought of many things, and all of them came to her mind in an instant.

He was going to attack the city himself!

He was afraid that I would fall into danger in order to protect him.

This bastard! He treated me as an outsider!

Li Yu'an quickly carried the little girl off the horse and said with emotion: "Wait for me at Xingangshe, sister will definitely come to pick you up!"

She couldn't delay any longer, so she got on the horse and headed west quickly.

The wind blew against her, and the fallen leaves hit her body. The fear in her heart gradually surged out, making her tremble all over.

Finally, I couldn't stop my tears from flowing.

Please... don't be in trouble...

God... please protect him...

He's all I have left...

Without him, I can't live anymore.
