Wishful Things

Hearing his decisive answer, Xu Mingyi was suddenly surprised, but after thinking about it for a while, he was not surprised at all.

How did she forget one thing——

In her dream, didn't he just break into the emperor's bedroom with a sword in hand, dragged the emperor out of the dragon couch, and forced the emperor to write an edict of guilt and ordered him to kill himself in apology?

How was he feeling then?

She could hardly imagine it.

But she remembered that he told the emperor that he would immediately write an imperial edict to wash away the grievances of the Wu family and her Xu family—to wash away the grievances of her grandfather. It is indeed the most practical and necessary.

So she thought, it's not that a person really doesn't need anything after death.

She was still holding his hand, and he had been holding it back.

At this time, Xu Mingyi noticed that his fingers were slightly cool.

Thinking of the conversation before King Yan left Beijing, she looked up at him and said, "Wu Chao, we will definitely win, do you believe it?"

It's just a matter of method and cost——

And if it is possible, she wants to make this price as small as possible, and even lower, so that the people of the world, down to the empress, will not have to experience as much suffering as in the previous life.

"I believe it." Wu Chao also slightly turned his head to look at her.

He has thought about it carefully these days, even if he doesn't talk about the so-called grievances, he will still choose to go this way, the general trend is also what he wants in his heart.

And he still remembered that she once said that she wanted to live a stable life.

Then he needs to stabilize the world first.

As the two looked at each other, Xu Mingyi's other hand also landed on the one they were holding, and he shook it happily, and asked him with a smile on his face, "Have you had dinner yet?"

This sentence instantly pulled the young man back from the vastness of the world to the fireworks of one meal and one meal.

He couldn't help but also smiled: "Not yet, how about you?"

"Never, why don't you ask Xiao Qi to cook a few dishes? I can't go back at such a time, why don't I use it with you."

"Yes, then I would like to thank Miss Xu for her condescension."

Xu Mingyi couldn't help laughing.

The two simply ate some food and drank some wine.

In Wu Chao's words, today I got the good news that Zhen Guogong returned to Beijing safely, so I should have a drink to celebrate.

Hearing these brave words, Xu Mingyi sighed from the bottom of his heart—as if he could celebrate.

Fearing that he would fall down again, he was only told to drink two or three cups at the dinner table.

In the end, there were more than half of the two small jugs of wine left.

Seeing the beautiful moonlight, they wanted to take the jug to enjoy the moon, but there was no open pavilion in the teahouse, and they couldn't find a good place to go, so the two simply climbed onto the roof of the backyard.

The two sat side by side on the roof, Xu Mingyi was holding the sapphire jug in his hand, and took a sip to his lips, with the corners of his mouth slightly bent, looking at the bright moon in the starry sky, he said, "Wu Chao, look at the moonlight tonight, is it It's not as good as what we watched from the tower that night."

Wu Chao stretched out one leg and bent the other, and his posture was very relaxed. He looked up at the night sky and nodded in agreement with her: "Yes."

I still remember that the night was August 16th. In truth, tonight must be too late.

But he also thought it was just as good.

"The empress has really bothered about these things recently." Xu Ming told him what he thought of.

Whether it's the matter of Ganoderma lucidum, or taking the risk of sending Qiao Bing out of the palace——

The empress has always been cautious, but recently she has taken risks one after another.

Wu Chao nodded: "The emperor is suspicious, I'm afraid he has already suspected his aunt—"

Originally, he was concerned about this, so he didn't mention to his aunt about rescuing Qiao Bing, but the aunt still chose to take the risk to rescue him.

He guessed his aunt's intentions and considerations.

That night he heard his father and the prince talking about his aunt's entry into the palace, and he knew that his aunt's decision to enter the palace was not only out of consideration for the Wu family, but also to find out the real cause of his biological mother's death——

After that, he went to the palace to thank his aunt.

But the aunt said——that was not only his biological mother, but also her direct elder sister. She just followed her own heart and didn't need anyone to thank her.

He understood at that time that he thought that thanking his aunt self-righteously was underestimating his aunt's intentions.

But it is undeniable that my aunt has experienced too many hardships and sufferings in the palace over the years.

"Next, I also want to do something for my aunt."

Xu Mingyi slightly turned her head to look at him. Under the moonlight, the young man's side face was handsome, and his eyes were looking into the distance as if looking into the future. She nodded and said, "This is what it should be. Let's find a way together."

Now the empress has no reason to stay in that man-eating devil's lair anymore. Such a beautiful person shouldn't just disappear in this world. Perhaps the empress should also embrace the life that truly lives for herself.

Wu Chao retracted his gaze and looked at the girl beside him.

She seemed to have taken another sip of wine secretly, her lips were red and moist, like a peach that had just been washed by rain, with shallow drops of water hanging on it, tempting someone to take a bite.

Wu Chao felt his heart beating like a drum at a glance, his mouth was inexplicably dry, and he turned his eyes slightly away, but when his eyes touched the small white jade-like earlobes and the white and slender neck, he felt scalded by something.

Even the crow's hair seemed to be shrouded in a halo under the moonlight, soft and shiny, very beautiful.

The boy, who had nowhere to look, simply looked in the direction where the two of them were standing.

The girl wore a pair of lotus root pink embroidered shoes, with lotus patterns embroidered on the upper, and a few exquisite south beads embedded in them. The beads exuded a milky white halo under the moonlight... Wu Chao even frowned—he usually My daughter never cared about these things in her house, so how could something look so good on her?

This is clearly a fairy, right?

The boy was genuinely puzzled in his heart.

But there is a word, he has to say it tonight while drinking to strengthen his courage——

In fact, what I have always wanted to say is that the former Duke's danger is uncertain, and it may not be appropriate for him to talk about it.

"Zhao Zhao..."

"Huh?" Xu Mingyi sat with his knees bent, holding the jug in one hand, resting his chin in the other hand and tilting his head slightly to look at him, with a smile in his clear eyes all the time.

"Since the country is safe and sound, and you have let go of your worries, then can I..."

Looking at the sweetheart in front of him, the young man's originally cold eyebrows revealed a tenderness and affection that was rarely seen in the past. When his tone paused slightly, Xu Mingyi took the words, blinked his eyes and pretended to be tentative: " Then can you... go back to Ningyang?"

"...I didn't mean to say this." Wu Chao looked at her, and only her was in his eyes besides the moonlight: "Zhao Zhao, I—"

However, just in the middle of speaking, he suddenly choked up.

In sight, the girl suddenly leaned towards him, and quickly touched his face with her slightly cool lips.

Goodnight everybody.
