Chapter 211 Yan Yan
At this moment, Xuan Yelan came over, came to Qi Wuyou's side, and said softly: "Let's go, we should go back."
Qi Wuyou stood up, stretched himself, and said with emotion: "As expected, time always passes very quickly when we are playing."
"Yes, let's go." Xuan Yelan responded with a smile.
So Qi Wuyou jumped happily and followed Xuan Yelan closely and left together.
Before leaving, Qi Wuyou specifically reminded her: "Remember, don't wash your face."
Then, she turned to Lan Sheng and Ju Sheng and said, "You two, please supervise her well."
"Don't worry." Lan Sheng replied with a smile, "I will definitely keep a close eye on her. Even if she washes it off secretly, I can still paint it again for her."
After saying goodbye to Madam He and the Queen Mother, the two boarded the carriage back to the palace.
In the carriage, Qi Wuyou asked curiously, "Is the Queen Mother still leaving?"
Oh, that’s terrible. I was so busy having fun just now that I didn’t even have time to talk to my mother. I am such an incompetent daughter-in-law!
Xuan Yelan smiled and explained, "She probably won't leave. My great-grandmother is not in good health, and my mother needs to stay here to take care of her."
Speaking of this, Qi Wuyou's grip on the teacup tightened and his expression became a little solemn.
She thought of the stern old lady in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, and a complex emotion surged in her heart.
"Is there still no news about Yanyan?" Qi Wuyou asked softly.
She still remembered that her aunt had mentioned before that she had a sister who had been lost for many years and her name was Yanyan.
Hearing this, Xuan Yelan's eyes dimmed instantly. He lowered his head slightly, nodded gently, and said in a low voice: "Yeah."
Ever since his aunt disappeared, the whole family fell into grief, and the one who was the most sad and blamed herself was his great-grandmother.
Over the years, my great-grandmother has been immersed in deep self-blame and pain, unable to let go.
"Really? If I could remember, maybe I could help." Qi Wuyou regretted secretly, his heart full of helplessness and self-blame.
She knew that she did not have the original owner's memory.
If I could get that memory back, maybe it would help me find Yanyan's whereabouts.
However, the reality was so cruel that no matter how hard she tried, she could not recall those lost fragments.
Xuan Yelan pulled Qi Wuyou tightly into his arms and said softly, "It has nothing to do with you."
Qi Wuyou raised his head and looked at Xuan Yelan seriously.
Xuan Yelan smiled bitterly and said, "My great-grandmother has always felt that it was because of her poor care that my aunt went missing."
At this point, Xuan Yelan's eyes flashed with sadness, and she said in a heavy tone: "Yes, she has been blaming herself for so many years."
This was the first time Xuan Yelan mentioned the Lu family to Qi Wuyou.
Qi Wuyou lay quietly in Xuan Yelan's arms, without saying a word, just waiting quietly for him to continue.
Xuan Yelan took a deep breath and said slowly, "Back then, my great-grandmother and my grandparents were guarding the border together. My grandparents were fighting on the front line, and my aunt was always taken care of by my great-grandmother. When she was two years old, a group of thieves sneaked into the border town, and they took my aunt away in the chaos. My great-grandmother was not paying attention at the time, and she could not be found anymore."
At this point, Xuan Yelan's voice choked up a little, "My great-grandmother felt very guilty about this. She hated herself for not taking good care of my aunt, which led to her being abducted by bad guys. Over the years, she has been living in guilt and can't let it go."
Qi Wuyou listened silently and felt very sad.
She knew that Xuan Yelan had deep feelings for his family, especially his great-grandmother. She gently stroked Xuan Yelan's chest, trying to give him some comfort.
Xuan Yelan felt Qi Wuyou's concern and felt a little better. He hugged Qi Wuyou tightly and said, "So, I don't want to see my great-grandmother sad because of this matter. I want to find my aunt so that my great-grandmother can let go of her worries and be happy again."
Qi Wuyou nodded and said firmly: "Well, we will definitely find my aunt!"
The two hugged each other tightly, as if they were each other's support. At this moment, their hearts were closer, and they faced the challenges of the future together.
Qi Wuyou patted Xuan Yelan on the back, and his mind couldn't help but recall the style of the bracelet, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it.
She frowned and tried hard to recall, but still found nothing.
The carriage slowly stopped in front of the gate of Fengyi Palace. As soon as Qi Wuyou got off the carriage, he felt something strange.
This feeling became stronger after entering the palace.
At this time, it was already evening. Normally, there should be many palace maids and eunuchs busy at work in the palace, but today it was unusually quiet and the entire yard was empty.
"Where are the people?" Lianxiang, with her hot temper, couldn't stand this weird atmosphere, and she roared angrily immediately.
She shouted at the top of her lungs for a long time, and finally saw Xiao Zhezi running towards her in a hurry.
Little Zhezi ran out of breath, with beads of sweat on his forehead. He saluted Qi Wuyou while panting: "Your Majesty... Sister Lianxiang..."
Qi Wuyou looked at him, full of doubts, and asked, "Where have you been?"
Xiao Zhezi wiped the sweat from his forehead, his eyes flickering, as if he wanted to hide something.
Qi Wuyou looked in the direction he was running from and found that it was Mei Xue's room.
Her heart moved, and she quickly asked, "Are Meixue and Hexiang back?"
Xiao Zhezi hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded and replied dryly: "Yeah, I'm back!"
Qi Wuyou became even more confused. Could it be that both of them were injured?
But what kind of harm could they suffer in the inner court of the imperial palace?
Lianxiang couldn't bear to see Xiao Zhezi dawdling like this, so she rushed into Meixue's bedroom without saying a word.
Xiao Zhezi hurriedly stopped her and said flatteringly, "Sister Lianxiang, I'd better go and inform you. I dare not trouble you to go in person."
However, the more Xiao Zhezi acted like this, the more Lianxiang felt that there must be something fishy.
"Don't force me to hit you!" Lianxiang rolled up her sleeves and threatened fiercely.
Xiao Zhezi was so scared that he stepped back, swallowed his saliva, stood aside trembling, and dared not to stop it anymore.
As soon as she entered the door, Lianxiang was stunned by the scene before her - almost everyone in the palace was gathered here.
"What are you all doing here? Don't you have any work to do?" Lianxiang's eyes widened and she let out that familiar lion roar.
This sudden roar startled everyone present.
They all turned their heads, a little panicked at first, but when they saw Qi Wuyou behind Lianxiang, an indescribable complex expression appeared on their faces.
