Chapter 395: Open the Door for Me
still a chance her face could be cured! Why would she throw her whole life away No, absolutely not!Ye Hongzhuang ran away, Xiao was chasing after her. Ye Yesheng pointed at Ye Wenyan, so angry that he...The Red-Robed Emperor carried his little girl on his back, walking from the mountain peak in the suburbs all the way down to the foothills, and then from the foothills back to Lin'an City.
By the time they reached the outer city gate, the little girl had already slept through several dreams.
He wanted to leave unnoticed, slipping into the city like a ghost. He even considered using his great displacement technique to teleport back to Yanhu Palace right away since the girl was asleep anyway.
When he saw the soldiers on guard atop the city wall, all of his previous thoughts were abandoned.
The venerable Empyrean Lord stood beneath the city gate, gazing upwards. After a long while, his voice, imbued with spiritual energy, reached the ears of the night watch commander: “Open the gate for this deity!”
That general was so startled by the sound that he nearly fell off the city wall in fright!
Shi Liyuan urged again, “Open the city gates for this deity!”
The general rolled and crawled down the city wall, personally opened the city gate, and then called for several soldiers to work together to open it wide.
But Shi Lifen couldn't open the city gate wide enough for anyone else to follow. It was only big enough for him to squeeze through.
He strode into the city, with all the guards watching him, Night Wen Yan on his back. The red light emanating from Night Wen Yan's warmth was still flickering around him, blinding the guards almost.
Not until the Emperor had walked far away, so far that they could no longer see even a trace of red with their own eyes, did people realize what had happened.
Someone asked the general, "Who is that"
The general slapped him on the head and shouted: “Don't you have a brain We showed you portraits and examples every day, and on your first day in the camp, we told you that the most honorable place in this world is not the imperial palace but the Yanhuaping Palace, and the most honorable person is not the emperor but the Imperial Lord. How could you all forget Apart from the Imperial Lord of Yanhuaping Palace, which other man loves to wear a red robe And besides that Imperial Lord, who else can make themselves glow That's something only spiritual power can do! What you just saw was the immortal of our Northern Qi! Quickly kowtow to the immortal!”
He didn't realize it until this point, but even though Shi Liyuan had walked far away, he still knelt down towards the direction of the city and kowtowed repeatedly.
The other soldiers knelt and kowtowed along with them, until their foreheads were covered in blisters. Then someone asked again, "The woman in red is indeed the Emperor, but...but who is the person behind the Emperor Why does it look like a young lady"
This person, as they spoke, started to cry. "Didn't they say that the Emperor wasn't close to women for over four hundred years Didn't they say that the Emperor had no interest in girls Didn't they say that the Emperor was independent from the world and belonged to millions of commoners But why did the Emperor end up with a girl He… Has he fallen into the mortal realm"
When this man cried, many others shared the same thoughts. Everyone became very interested in the young woman Emperor Zun carried on his back, and everyone guessed who she might be.
As for whether the Emperor is fond of Miss or intends to descend to the mortal realm, they are not very concerned. After all, the Emperor is also human, and the Emperor will eventually marry an Empress. It's impossible for the Emperor to live alone for thousands upon thousands of years, right
Then someone comforted the crying person, saying: "If you truly care for His Majesty, then you should be happy for him. Think about it, if he finds a woman who understands his heart, then there will be someone in Yan Huagong to take care of him. Our Majesty has suffered for hundreds of years, he deserves some peace and happiness."
"That's right, that's right. We are lucky enough to see the Emperor with our own eyes tonight, it is already a blessing from heaven, we don't even have time to be grateful, how can we not want the Emperor to take a wife Is that something we should worry about You should know your place!"
The person crying felt that what they said made sense. Thinking about their own incompetence, they also felt a bit embarrassed.
"You're right, we mortals shouldn't meddle in the affairs of immortals. I just didn't react immediately and got a bit carried away. In fact, whether or not the Emperor has an Empress, he is still our Emperor, and we will all respect and love him. It's just... there's something I don't know if you noticed, about that girl who was just carried away. Have you found her familiar"
As he said this, many people began to recall the scene just now, and someone quickly exclaimed, "It's more than just familiar! It's too familiar! That's... that's..."
"Isn't that Miss Ye Si!" the general concluded, "It's the fourth young lady of the First Rank General's Mansion, known as Ye Wenyan, the Witch of the Night Family!"
The person crying began again: "How could it be that witch The Emperor is a god, gods should marry other gods, right Why did he choose a witch Gods and witches don't belong together! It's an insult to our Emperor!"
"Shut your mouth!" Others began to denounce him, "Don't call her a witch with every breath, and don't slander her! What about Lady Night Four Lady Night Four treats the sick and saves people. In the midst of the great calamity, she saved countless lives! How can she be a witch She is clearly a fairy! A fairy belongs with a god – they are a perfect match!"
Here, the soldiers at the city gate were hotly debating whether Emperor Zun and Miss Ye Si were a match. Shi Lifen, far away, listened to these words, feeling more and more comfortable with each one.
This comfort was for no other reason than the fact that more people knew about his relationship with the little girl, and he felt happy about it.
When he was happy, he also shouted at the inner city gate, but the soldiers guarding the inner city were much more composed than those guarding the outer city.
He silently opened the gate, knelt in greeting, then silently closed it again and returned to his original position.
It's incredible that there wasn't even a single discussion about it, as if this was perfectly normal. It's as if they didn't even notice the person he had on his back.
Shi Liyuan was very unhappy. He had just observed that those people were always bowing their heads. How could they see him carrying someone on his back if they were bowing their heads He couldn't directly say "Look up and see what I have on my back." So he could only walk through the city gate with a sullen face, and in his heart, curse all the guards at the city gate.
In the end, he still went to General's Residence. Shi Lifen changed his back-carry into a hug, carrying the beloved little girl back to her own courtyard. He entered her room and, under Granny Ji's knowing expression, placed the little girl on the bed.
The old nanny gently closed the door, saying as she left, "Miss usually sleeps in late. Your Majesty doesn't need to worry."
What's he in such a hurry for Is this old lady sick
Shi Liyuan let out a cold snort and waved his hand, urging her to leave quickly.
Not until he was left undisturbed did he help the little girl remove her shoes and socks, then pull off her outer robe. He combed her hair carefully before tucking her into bed. After a moment’s thought, he removed his own shoes and socks, sat beside her, pulled her close, and patted her gently, slowly and rhythmically, like soothing a very young child with tenderness and patience.
The two of them were enjoying their trip back down the mountain, but right now, Ye Chu Lian was standing at the foot of Yan Hua Mountain with Quan Qing Cheng, shouting at the top of her lungs: "Is anyone there! Please open the mountain gate, we're here to find Sister Wen Yan!"
Ye Chu Lian didn't expect that her Fourth Sister had completely forgotten about her. After sending off the Fourth Prince, she returned to the Immortal Palace and told Quan Qingcheng about the wine she had brewed. She also accompanied Quan Qingcheng in drinking some of it. The two chatted for a long time, covering all sorts of topics. Feeling that it was getting late, Ye Chu Lian decided to go to Yanhuagong to call her Fourth Sister back home together.
When Qu Qingcheng heard she was going to the Yanhuagong, he definitely couldn't miss such a good opportunity! So he followed along happily. As a result, the two of them called out for a long time, only to receive a reply from a purple-clothed palace maid in the Ziyi Palace of Yanhuagong: "His Majesty the Emperor and Miss Ye Si are not in the palace. Please come back!"
Quan Qingcheng and Ye Chulian looked at each other, a mixture of regret in their eyes as they tried to guess each other's future.
Finally, Ye Chulian couldn't help but ask: "Your Majesty, where did you take my fourth sister"
The purple-clothed palace maid said, “Fifth Miss, your words are amiss. Even if it were a kidnapping, it would likely be Fourth Miss kidnapping the esteemed emperor. The esteemed emperor is in no way capable of taking Fourth Miss away. As for where they went, this servant does not know. All this servant knows is that the two were originally seated inside the hall speaking, even Eunuch Shi had cooked a bowl of noodles for Fourth Miss. However, the noodles are finished and the bowl remains on the table, but the two masters are gone. This servant has also searched the back hall, but they are not there. They should have left the palace.”
Yè Chúlǐn frowned upon hearing this, “Going out of the palace in the middle of the night This is too worrying. I came out with the fourth sister, since we came out together, we should naturally go back together. Now that I am the only one left, how can this be good”
Then Quan Qingcheng asked, “What about Lian Shi”
The Palace maid in purple replied, “Even Lian Gonggong has gone to the Imperial Observatory and hasn’t returned yet!”
"The Imperial Observatory!" Quán Qīngchéng pulled Yè Chǔlián, "Come, I'll take you to the Imperial Observatory!"
The two of them left immediately, rushing straight to the Qintianzhang (Celestial Vault). Fortunately, Lian Shi hadn't left yet. They arrived just in time and locked him inside the house.
Ye Chu Lian took the lead in acting pitifully. As soon as she entered, she started to cry and grabbed Lian Shi's sleeve, saying: "Sir Lian, it's not good! The Emperor and my fourth sister have disappeared! You should go back and have a look quickly, please don't let anything happen!"
When Lian heard this, he was startled. He wanted to leave with Ye Chulian immediately, but then he thought about it...it wasn't right! The Emperor and Miss Ye Si were missing, wasn't this unusual The two of them were so sweet, going for a walk in the dark night, wasn't that good What business was his to interfere
Then he sat back down, pulling Ye Chu Lian back with him. "It's nothing, Your Majesty has great divine powers, what could possibly happen following Your Majesty They're not gone, maybe they just went out to play. They'll naturally come back when they've had enough fun."
Quan Qingcheng squeezed over and stared at Lian Shi, asking, “Do you know where the two of them went Let's go too!”
>he banged on the table, "Nonsensical! Complete nonsense! Ye Wenyan, don't be too much!"The old matriarch also put on a stern face and joined in, crying out pitifully: "What sin has the Ye family commi...
