Hold On, General

38. Mid-Autumn Festival

Bai Lian has never been as creepy as he is now. Since he invited these people to the front hall, asked the housekeeper for medicine and wine for bruises, and specifically ordered him to send it to Xiaocao, the two ancestors looked at him very strangely. The look in his eyes became very strange.

He was silent for a moment, he really couldn’t carry it anymore, and said tremblingly: “I wonder why the two princes came here today?”

Genius Long and Yun Xian held teacups and shook their heads together. They didn’t drink a mouthful of tea. They just looked at him like this. Their eyes were full of compassion, entanglement, and remorse. This suddenly gave him an illusion. It seemed that one of his legs had already stepped into the coffin unknowingly.

“…” Bai Lian looked at General Gu silently, but saw that the latter’s always indifferent eyes also had a little sympathy, and he felt even angry, “You guys…what’s the matter?”

The three of them shook their heads at the same time, General Gu continued to be silent, while the remaining two said indifferently: “It’s okay.”

“…” Bai Lian began to think about whether he had done something wrong recently, or which law he had inadvertently broken so the three of them rushed over to see him for the last time in advance.

“Xiaohua,” In this weird silence, Xiao Wang Ye slowly put down the teacup, and finally opened his mouth, “This king asked you to take care of Xiaocao temporarily, and now I want to pick her up, you see…”

“What?” Bai Lian got up subconsciously, “Why?” He was suddenly startled when he asked. Thinking back to the abnormality of these people, he only felt that his mind was clear, and suddenly sighed, “Is it because I am in love with her?”

After the voice fell, the scene fell into a weird silence again, and the expressions of Genius Long and Yun Xian became even sadder, and even General Gu couldn’t help but stiffen.

Bai Lian ignored it and continued: “It’s only been a few days since I had a secret affection for her. I know you must find it incredible, even myself…But she is really very different from ordinary women. I don’t think I have time to treat her…to her…”

Xiao Wang Ye shook his lips and said sincerely: “Xiaohua, I’m sorry for you, I didn’t mean to harm you, really, you believe me, believe me.”

“What’s the harm?” Bai Lian frowned slightly, “I have never looked down on her life, and I don’t care if she is pregnant. If the child is born, I will treat it as my own. I know she has suffered too much. I want to take good care of her and welcome her through the door. I will go to my parents and say that even if they oppose me, I will not change my mind.”

What he said was extremely firm. He thought these people would change their expressions a little bit, but he was wrong. After he finished speaking, these people were even sadder.

Genius Long couldn’t believe it: “You want to marry him?”

“Yes, Bai Lian will only marry her in this life,” Bai Lian said and bowed down, seriously, “I beg Wang Ye to fulfil it.” He refers to the consummation of nature not only to let Xiaocao stay but also to marriage. If Xiao Wang Ye is willing to nod his head and say something, even if his parents disagree, there is no way.

“…” Genius Long stared at him silently, agreed that you would marry him, and then let you be pressed down on the broken bed by your newlywed wife on the night of the wedding in the cave?！ Xiaohua, do you want your life to be so miserable?！

Bai Lian looked up: “Wang Ye?”

“You… you get up first, let me slowly…”

Bai Lian had to get up, and Yun Xian interjected: “What does Xiaocao think?”

Bai Lian was silent for a moment and shook his head: “Although she has experienced those things, there is no depression in her eyebrows. She is a strong woman. I have never seen her cry in the past few days, but I don’t know if she still has expectations for the love in the world,” He looked at the two of them, “If she is also interested in me, I wonder if Wang Ye can fulfil it?”

Genius Long said immediately: “What if he doesn’t have that kind of idea for you?”

Bai Lian pursed his mouth, his eyes more determined: “That is, what I have done is not good enough, and I will try my best to get her to agree to marry me.”

“…” Genius Long opened his mouth and stared at him for a long time before saying, “Xiaohua, I think you are like two pigs.”

Unexpectedly, Bai Lian’s next sentence was this, and he was startled: “…why?”

Genius Long’s eyes were fluttering, and he didn’t answer. Instead, Yun Xian took a sip of tea to smooth himself out, and then said, “Because one head is no longer enough to describe your stupidity.” For so many days, you haven’t found out that Xiaocao is a man, and you want to marry him. My god, judging from the current strength of the two of them, if you really marry him, you will wait to be crushed, and you won’t want to turn over for the rest of your life.

Bai Lian was full of fighting spirit, but at this time he seemed to be poured down by a pot of cold water, and the blue veins on his forehead suddenly jumped: “But you don’t believe me?”

“No, we believe it,” Genius Long sighed, his eyes still compassionate, “Xiaohua, let’s do this, if no matter what happens in the future, no matter what Xiaocao becomes, you still think so, then we will fulfil you.”

Bai Lian was overjoyed: “Really?”

Genius Long glanced at him lightly, and nodded: “Seriously…” Then he walked out silently, his expression chaotic, and Yun Xian followed silently.

Bai Lian was going to send them to the door, but General Gu stopped him, patted him on the shoulder, and his tone was a little relieved: “You can force the two of them to this point at the same time, you are worth in your lifetime.”

“……”

Bai Lian was startled and suddenly realized that it was the first time he had made these two ancestors speechless since they met. It was a miracle! He only felt in high spirits and decided that Xiaocao must be his lucky star.

“No need to send us, go and give him medicine. Since you want to marry him, you have to be nice to others,” General Gu said indifferently, then paused, struggling and reminded, “You must think carefully.”

“……”

General Gu took two steps and looked back at him again. In the end, he couldn’t bear the catastrophe of his friend, and whispered, “You can take off his clothes…”

Before he finished speaking, Bai Lian frowned and interrupted: “Am I that kind of scumbag? I pity her and love her, and I will definitely not force her!”

“…” General Gu glanced at him silently and sympathetically and left without looking back.

Xiao Wang Ye didn’t bring the bill today, and he was not in high spirits. Later, he was hit by Bai Lian’s incident. He completely lost his mind to play. After chatting with Yun Xian, he returned to the palace. The first thing he did after returning was to find the piece of paper, but he looked at the clean and tidy bedroom and blinked in silence for a long time: “Where are my clothes?”

General Gu pondered for a while, and whispered, “Could it be that someone took it to wash it?”

“…” Genius Long looked at him stiffly.

General Gu repeated: “Someone took it to wash it, if you go too late…”

Genius Long turned his head and went out, grabbed someone casually and asked about the place to wash clothes, and ran. When he finally got to the place, a row of clothes had already been dried on the rope, one of which was his, and not far away there was a group of palace ladies surrounded by them, don’t know what they were doing.

He walked forward silently, shaking his hands to touch his clothes. After touching it for a long time, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked back at the facial paralysis that followed: “No, no, let me just say, they should check it before they wash it. Hahaha, my luck is really good.”

His laughter caused the palace ladies with their backs to them to turn around immediately, and then hula all knelt down, trembling: “Wang…Wang Ye…”

“Get up, all get up,” Genius Long waved his hand and smiled. “Did you see a piece of paper when you washed this king’s clothes?”

The people on the ground suddenly shook even more severely. General Gu took a silent look and walked forward to the table they had just surrounded. There was a ball of things on it, black and white, the ink was all melted, and he couldn’t see anything clearly. He stretched out his hand and picked it up: “Here, your bill.”

“……”

General Gu walked to replay in front of him.

Genius Long shook his hand and took it: “What’s the matter with this?！”

“Wang Ye forgives this slave’s life,” the palace maid on the ground trembled, “The slave really checked it before washing, and didn’t see it. Who knows it’s halfway through the washing… Wang Ye forgives the slave’s life, forgive the slave’s life.”

General Gu secretly said that this person hid so carefully last night that it was strange to be able to find it. He looked at Xiao Wang Ye. This person never spoke but stared at the piece of paper in a daze without blinking, his hands shaking.

He observed for a while, secretly waved his hand to let the palace maids retreat, silently waiting for this person to suddenly break out and demolish the house, but he waited but saw this person turn his head and leave, he hurriedly followed, saw this person lightly returned to the palace, crawled to the bed for a nest, and then did not move.

He looked around, pondered for a moment, and secretly wondered if this person had suffered too much and couldn’t accept it for a while, so he saw through the red dust? Just for five thousand taels of silver? He was silent for a moment, turned over to the bed, and hugged him from behind: “…Wang Ye?”

Genius Long did not answer.

General Gu pulled his body over hard: “…Wang Ye?”

“……”

General Gu thought for a while: “Wang Ye, I will pay back the money.”

“……”

General Gu thought for a while, and added: “Really.”

“…” Genius Long cried and said in despair, “You don’t have to say it, this is fate, I admit it, I really admit it!”

“……”

The Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, and the palace has been busy since early in the morning. This time, the three kings of Beimo and the princes of the two countries are also spending the Mid-Autumn Festival together. Naturally, Genius Long wandered around the palace bored, only to feel that there were people coming and going. He looked helpless and was about to turn around and leave but was found by his eldest brother.

Long Juntian didn’t go to the morning court today. He sat leisurely drinking in the Imperial Garden. When he saw them, he smiled and beckoned: “Come and sit down.”

Genius Long obediently rubbed it over, and as usual, he was pressed into his arms and rubbed by this person. He rubbed extremely helplessly, secretly wondering, is the Holy One a brother in control?

“Brother, are you looking for me?”

“Well, you spent the Mid-Autumn Festival with your mother in previous years, hiding in the deep palace and refusing to show up,” Long Juntian said with a smile. “Now that your reputation has risen, you can’t hide anymore, you know?”

Genius Long thought to himself that it was for tonight’s state banquet, so he obediently said, “Oh.”

“Yun Xian is also the prince now. You and he are familiar with each other, so you can sit with him at dinner. How about?”

“Hmm!” Genius Long nodded his head. He was so happy to have the opportunity to kill Zhan Ling Yan. He blinked, “Brother, did you promise Zhan Ling Yan to marry Yun Xian?”

“Hmm.”

Genius Long linked again, and asked tentatively: “Then what did you ask him for?”

Long Juntian rubbed his head: “You will know in the future, go to see your mother, I have something to talk to Gu Aiqing.”

When Genius Long listened to him, he knew that he didn’t want him to listen to the affairs of these two people, so he obediently left. Long Juntian watched him go away with a smile, then retracted his gaze.

General Gu felt that the emperor might ask about him and Xiao Wang Ye, so he sat upright and prepared to express his mind. It was best to ask for a marriage decree and tie that person to his side completely.

Long Juntian glanced at him and smiled: “I will see if you are sincere to Haohao. If you have other thoughts, you don’t have to stay in the palace anymore.”

General Gu’s expression was cold, and he only heard him ask: “Last time you accompanied Haohao to the hall, what was his impression of Princess Zenan?”

General Gu suddenly remembered someone’s appearance, and suddenly wanted to be silent, but the person opposite was the emperor, so he had to say: “The two of them talked very happily.”

Long Juntian nodded and said gently: “The princess will also enter the palace tonight. Although you can’t sit next to Haohao, if he leaves the table, you must keep up and not leave half a step.”

“The minister complied.”

“Since ancient times, medicine and poison have not divided the family,” Long Juntian poured himself a glass of wine and said softly, “Go find Haohao.”

General Gu was shocked in his heart and got up to retire. The princess of Zenan is proficient in medical skills and is no stranger to poisons. By saying this, the emperor is reminding him to beware of her giving medicine to Xiao Wang Ye.

At this moment in the hall, Xiang Honghui looked at the small white bottle in front of him, with a pair of peach blossom eyes smiling: “Are you sure this is useful?”

“Sure,” Xiang Hongxi raised her head to look at him, “Brother, have you really decided?”

Xiang Honghui smiled and pointed to himself: “Don’t I look serious?”

“I’m just afraid that you will capsize in the gutter,” Xiang Hongxi said with a smile. “If the Emperor of Shenghua really likes you and happens to be seen through by you, will he tear his face and lock you up?”

“This,” Xiang Honghui thought of the smiling and polite Monarch Shenghua, and smiled lowly, “Who knows.”

“Well, if he has a crush on you, don’t forget to use a beautiful man.”

Xiang Honghui smiled and nodded: “I know.”

“You won’t be back tonight, right?”

“It should be.”

“Well,” Xiang Hongxi couldn’t hide the smile in her eyes, “Brother, I hope you can keep your innocence.”

“I will.”

The day passed in a flash, and soon it was time for the dinner party. Genius Long took Yun Xian to sit down and asked in a low voice, “Have you ever participated in this kind of thing before?”

“Based on Zhan Ling Yan’s previous desire to see me, do you think it is possible,” Yun Xian said, “I have only participated in the New Year’s Day Party, do you count?”

“…” Genius Long twitched the corners of his mouth, “You are not as good as me. At any rate, I have played that kind of open and exciting party abroad. Hey, those beauties wow~”

“The evil capitalist society, brother, I despise you.”

“You are jealous of me.”

The two sat together and talked in a low voice, very close to each other. Most of the people sitting had never seen these two people, nor had they ever thought that the legendary appearance of the two was so outstanding, and the sight cast on them for a while was never interrupted.

Genius Long brought this person closer again, and Yun Xian glanced at him and saw Zhan Ling Yan on the opposite side looking straight over, his eyes were cold, and he suddenly snorted, anyway, you can’t do anything about me tonight, I must be so angry with you.

General Gu looked at Xiao Wang Ye in silence, thinking again about how to marry that person back.

The state banquet is actually very boring. For Genius Long and Yun Xian, the only interesting thing is to see beauties, classical beauties.

“Look at the one dancing to the left in the middle,” Genius Long said in a low voice, “Look at the charm, it’s beautiful.”

Yun Xian smiled and nodded in agreement, and the appearance of the two made their expressions even darker.

Long Juntian turned his gaze and looked at the empty seats for some unknown time. He got up with a smile, waved his hand for everyone to play, and then withdrew. This time, the state banquet also invited a drama class. A stage was set up outside, and another stage was set up for the seats. They are all in the open air, which is convenient for everyone to enjoy the moon.

The group of ministers were not surprised by the emperor’s departure. There was also a banquet in the harem during the Mid-Autumn Festival. They all said that the emperor was probably going to the harem, and when the emperor left the table, they stopped trembling and played with confidence.

“There is still a play? Yun Xian raised his eyebrows and pulled Genius Long, “Go, go and have a look, will you listen?”

“No, how about you?”

“What do you think?”

“Ok.”

The two of them left as soon as they said, and when they came outside, the palace was originally built in a luxurious atmosphere, with undulating lights, coupled with the moonlight above their heads, which looked very expensive. Yun Xian took a look: “Actually, it’s not bad to walk around, what do you think, brother?”

Genius Long hadn’t spoken yet, but only heard a voice coming from the side: “Why don’t Xiao Wang Ye show us around?”

The two of them turned their heads, and the princess of Zenan walked over to them with a smile, so beautiful that people’s hearts were beating.

“…” Yun Xian kept in mind the words of his own small attack, and wanted to stay away from this woman, so he silently let go of his hand, “Brother, you play, I’m leaving.””After that, he turned his head and ran wildly, with no intention of staying at all.

“……”

Ullah and Za Mucang had been staring at Yun Xian since the dinner party. At this time, they naturally followed up. Zhan Ling Yan squinted slightly and got up.

After coming out of the state banquet and walking slowly southward, and then passing through a secluded path, the noise behind him gradually disappeared. Long Juntian raised his head and Xiang Honghui was carrying a jug of wine leaning against the pillar in the pavilion to drink. The flaming lanterns stretched zigzagging through the corridor. The man lowered his eyes slightly and looked at a pool of clear water. The shadow of the full moon was reflected on the clear water. It was bright and white, and everything was so quiet that it seemed to have fallen into an unreal dream.

He watched quietly for a while, turned his head sideways and ordered someone to bring fruit and vegetable snacks, then walked over slowly with a smile on his face.
