Chapter 88 The Dust Settles

At five o'clock the next day, before dawn, everyone made an appointment, and at almost the same time, they all opened their eyes in the dim light.When each came out of the room, they looked at each other without saying a word, as if they knew everything from the other's eyes.

Judging from the sky, today is probably a cloudy day, just like everyone's state of mind at the moment, under the heavy oppression, it seems that it is difficult to breathe.

"Let's go." Han Yan whispered in Xue Yingfeng's ear, when he was about to leave, he didn't want to be gently held by Xue Yingfeng, so he had to stop and turn around to look at him...

Xue Yingfeng frowned, her worry was written all over her face, she looked at Han Yan for a long time, and then looked at Boyong and Mu Ling'er who had already stepped out of the threshold, "You must be careful."

"Don't worry, brother Xue." Mu Ling'er was still relaxed as usual.It seems that nothing in this world can trouble her.

"Yeah, don't worry about it, we will come back safely." Boyong also comforted him, although he was the one with the least confidence among them.

Han Yan stretched out his hand to caress Xue Yingfeng's cheek, leaned over to leave a superficial kiss on his smooth forehead, and slowly smoothed the wrinkles between his brows with his thumb. Then they set off together with Boyong Muling'er.

The moment they turned their backs to her, her palms were involuntarily sweating, Xue Yingfeng stepped forward two steps to the door, seeing the figures of the three people drifting away, her heartbeat became more and more chaotic...

……

It was almost noon, Xue Yingfeng put on the plain linen clothes that Mu Ling'er had prepared, dressed up a bit, then went to the horse market and took two horses to Shiliting.

It was indeed a cloudy day, and Xue Yingfeng couldn't help looking up at the sky from time to time along the way, but he hoped it wasn't a sign from the sky, and after walking for about an hour, he arrived at Shili Pavilion.

There are very few pedestrians on this road, and it is usually the road that is marched south. Xue Yingfeng led the horse and stood in the rustling autumn wind. Although he felt unwell after standing for a long time, he had no intention of going into the pavilion to rest, and just remained motionless. Standing on the spot, looking straight at one direction, as if turning into a stone statue that has long forgotten time...

After an unknown amount of time, as if in an illusion, I felt a tinge of warmth on my face that had been blown cold by the wind.Before Xue Yingfeng had time to react, three blurred figures in the distance came into view.

His eyes lit up brightly in an instant, and he couldn't help taking steps out of excitement to go forward to meet them, but just after taking half a step, the corners of his raised mouth suddenly became stiff, and the smile gradually disappeared from his face. Finally, Xue Yingfeng withdrew his steps , his expression returned to the calmness when he was alone...

The silhouettes of the three of them quickly became clear, and they approached Xue Yingfeng in a short while.Xue Yingfeng first responded to Han Yu's comforting smile, then turned to Mu Yuning, and handed over the reins in his hands, "Hurry up and go."

After three years of absence, there should have been thousands of words to say, and Lu Bingwen had prepared a lot of words, but when he saw Xue Yingfeng, his heart was in a mess, he forgot everything, and when he wanted to speak, his throat froze. It seems to be blocked by something, and I can't make a sound...

"Ying... Yingfeng..." Even calling out Xue Yingfeng's name seemed to have exhausted all his strength, and he was powerless to continue...

Xue Yingfeng seemed determined not to talk to Lu Bingwen, turned a deaf ear to Fang Cai's small voice, walked straight to Han Yan standing behind the two of them, and gently held his hand, "Let's go back, I'm a little tired It's gone." Out of the corner of his eye, he could feel the guilty eyes of Mu Yuning and Lu Bingwen, as if they were heartbroken, but Xue Yingfeng turned a blind eye and only looked at Han Yu seriously.

Seeing Xue Yingfeng like this, Han Yan understood that he had made up his mind, and if he continued to entangle, it would not only be painful for him, but also waste time, so he persuaded Mu Yuning and Lu Bingwen: "You better go away , it will be dangerous if you don't go."

The two were entangled, and Mu Yuning secretly clenched his fist for a long time, but had no choice but to let go slowly...

It is impossible to recover.

Mu Yuning pulled Lu Bingwen and motioned him to get on the horse.Xue Yingfeng didn't know what kind of expressions they had when they stopped at the last moment, but only heard a simple sentence——

"Thank you."

Then, there was the sound of horseshoes trampling in the wind...

After all, Xue Yingfeng couldn't help but look back. Where the two passed by, the flying dust gradually settled down, and there was a warm color covering them...

Looking up, it turned out that there was a gap in the clouds on the horizon, revealing a ray of sunshine.

It turned out that it was God's will.

"He Ning has asked the emperor for orders to guard the border for many years. They... should be able to leave here forever." Han Yan murmured, and the figures of the two became more and more distant.

"Han Yan, do you know that when I was studying, since I became friends with Bingwen, I made a mistake and was punished by my husband to copy the books, and he copied them for me."

"I know, your handwriting isn't that pretty." Han Yan replied half-jokingly.

"Do you know, when I was very young, Yu Ning often took me to his wine cellar to steal wine..."

"I know, a few times you got drunk, and I went to Mu's mansion to carry you back."

Hearing this, Xue Yingfeng couldn't help smiling, he understood Han Yan's good intentions, he didn't want to let himself be too indulged in sadness and unable to extricate himself.

"Will we...will we meet again?"

"Yes," Han Yan just blurted out the words, not to comfort Xue Yingfeng, but the hope deep in his heart, maybe he didn't realize it, "Let's go, you've been out for so long, can your legs bear it?"

"It's okay," Xue Yingfeng smiled slightly, outlining the arc of the crescent moon, which is very beautiful, "I have used the medicine for seven days according to Boyong's instructions. It is said that Boyong's new medicine is really miraculous, and he died in three years. , In just seven days, it has improved a lot, and there is no sign of an attack."

"That's good." Han Lue's every smile facing Xue Yingfeng was full of deep pampering. At first Xue Yingfeng was a little unaccustomed to it, but now he is already intoxicated without knowing it.

Han Xi hugged Xue Yingfeng's shoulders, and the two were about to go back, but two coughs suddenly broke the silence of the autumn wind and fallen leaves.

"What's wrong?" It was Xue Yingfeng who asked this question, "Did you catch a cold?"

"Perhaps." Han Yan looked indifferent.

"It must be because you have been too tired during this period of time. Even your body made of iron cannot withstand your tossing. At least you should pay attention to your body and stop working so hard."

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Han Lu was originally smiling gently, but suddenly, a smirk appeared on the corner of his mouth, and the hand that hugged Xue Yingfeng's shoulder took advantage of the trend, and wrapped Xue Yingfeng into his arms.Xue Yingfeng is half a head shorter than Han Yan, and she is close to him, and when she raises her head slightly, she can feel his soft breath lingering between her lips...

Xue Yingfeng seemed to have guessed what Han Yan wanted to do, and for the first time, she didn't resist, so she quietly stayed in his arms, her eyes met, as if she was waiting for something...

"I work so hard, shouldn't you reward me, huh?"

Unexpectedly, Han Zhuo had no tendency to kiss her down, Xue Yingfeng could only feel his other hand fluttering around her waist...

Sure enough, there was another "snap", "No one is serious!" Xue Yingfeng angrily slapped Han Xie's hand and pushed him away, turned around and left first in a fit of anger.

Han Yan rubbed the back of his hand that was slightly red, and shouted from behind: "It seems that he is recovering well, and his strength is getting stronger and stronger."

Xue Yingfeng walked in front with an expression of "I don't want to talk to you", Han Yan deliberately slowed down and followed behind him, he knew Xue Yingfeng's current temper, he was very angry, if he walked faster, it would make Xue Yingfeng walk even faster Quick, worrying that his legs won't take it.

It's just that he was angry, Xue Yingfeng thought that Han Yan didn't know, if he looked back at Han Yan's snickering expression, he might not be so naive.

……

Back at Mu Ling'er's clinic, they never expected that Boyong sneezed loudly——

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhh! Back, back..."

Xue Yingfeng froze in place as if struck by lightning, and when she came to her senses, she quickly pulled up the corner of her sleeve and wiped her face to cool off... He gritted his teeth and suppressed his anger, if it wasn't for Boyong's hard work today, he would have punched him His face went.

"Ah! Ahh!"

The strange thing is that Boyong kept sneezing and seemed unable to stop.

"What's wrong with you?" Han Lu came out from behind Xue Yingfeng, seeing Boyong pounding medicine with a bowl in one hand and a pestle in the other...

"Hey... Hey, something happened—Ah Choo! Outside."

"Accident?"

"Master, he is so stupid that he can't help it. How could he sprinkle powder on his face? Right now, he is busy making an antidote for himself! Haha..." Mu Ling'er came out of the back room with a smile.

"All--all--all said it was an accident! Achoo! That's Feng-feng-feng, Achoo!"

"Yes, yes, I know, I know, it's the wind."

Boyong's embarrassment made everyone very happy. Since Han Yan and the others came to the hospital, it was the first time that there was real laughter and joy here.

"Yingfeng, I'll send someone to Ziying Prince's Mansion to take care of it right away, and we'll go outside the city to bring Uncle and the others back tomorrow."

"Ah."

Hearing this, Mu Ling'er's face collapsed, holding back what she wanted to say, when Han Zhuo was about to go out, she finally stopped him, "Brother Han!"

"Ok?"

"Don't...don't go..."

"Why?"

"I heard people say...Although the case of King Ziying is an unjust case, the family of King Ziying faked his death, escaped from prison, deceived the king, and committed crimes. The emperor has already decreed that the king of Ziying...was stripped of his title. , demoted...degraded to common people..."

"What!?" Surprised, Han Yan subconsciously looked at Xue Yingfeng, only to see him staring at Mu Ling'er in a daze, as if he hadn't reacted yet, "I'm going to see the emperor." Throwing down angrily, Han Yan turned around and walked away to go.

"Han Lu!" Xue Yingfeng shouted suddenly, "It's useless."

"But my father and I came up with the idea of ​​feigning death. Uncle's is not considered a prison escape at all! I want to make it clear to the emperor!..."

"Don't you understand? Why did the emperor make the decree? If you go to face the saint in such an angrily manner, what will be the result?"
