Chapter 326 Are you blaming me?
"Second brother, did my brother really... really find Gu Cang?"
Unable to contain her excitement, she grabbed Baili Juexi by the collar and shook him violently until he saw stars.
"Yes...yes, yes, yes! That's what the Flower Envoy said, referring to your cousin Xin Moling and your friend Hua Buyu, right?"
"Ok!"
Xin Moyan responded emphatically, her voice slightly nasal. Since she had said her name so clearly, it must be true. Her brother and the others knew where she was and had finally found her.
The thought of the separation over the past few days, and of the few people who cherished her most, suddenly made her nose sting, and tears welled up uncontrollably.
"Yan... Sister Yan, don't cry! Isn't this a wonderful occasion? Don't cry, don't cry, it will break your brother's heart if you cry again."
Baili Juexi was so frightened that he didn't know what to do. He hurriedly picked up a handkerchief to wipe her tears, as he couldn't bear to see his sister shed tears.
"Sister Yan, look at the meat I grilled!"
Xie Xuanji flung open the tent flap, only to see Xin Moyan's eyes red and swollen, while Baili Juexi was gently comforting her.
Shuiyi followed in and was also startled.
"What happened? Second Prince, did you make Sister Yan cry?"
Xie Xuanji pouted, turned around and put the roasted meat in her hand on the table, put her hands on her hips, and looked like she was about to interrogate someone.
Shuiyi hurriedly walked over, cupped her face in her hands, and was extremely nervous.
"Yan'er, why are you crying?"
Hearing the soft voice, Xin Moyan sniffed and turned to hug her tightly.
"Sister Yi... Sister Yi'er, brother is here, he's finally here."
"What brother? Yan'er, the two princes have been here the whole time!"
She was a little puzzled, so she raised her hand and gently patted Xin Moyan's back, not forgetting to give her instructions.
"Xing'er, let the Third Prince in. Stop grilling the meat."
"Oh~ Sister Yan, don't cry, I'll go and call the Third Prince right away!"
"no!"
Xin Moyan released her embrace, wiped her face haphazardly, then grabbed her hand and said excitedly, "Sister Yi'er, it's my brother, it's my brother! He and Buyu came looking for me, and they're at Mingshui Palace right now!"
"boom!"
These words struck like a thunderbolt, leaving Shuiyi's mind blank for a moment.
"Yan'er, did you say... Ah Ling is here?"
"Mmm! Sister, let's go back quickly. I miss my brother so much. I want to see them soon."
She rolled up her sleeves high, her face beaming with indescribable joy and excitement, eager to see her brother immediately.
"Hey~ Yan'er, what are you trying to do?"
Baili Juexi raised her hand to block in front of her, her eyes filled with resentment. Her own brother had come, but she had forgotten about her cousin. What a waste of love she had for this girl.
"Second brother, move aside, I want to go back, I want to go back now."
"It's getting late. The Flower Envoy said that my elder brother ordered me to escort you back tomorrow morning, so it won't make a difference if we wait a little longer."
"But……"
“Yan’er, the Second Prince is right. It’s dark and windy tonight. You’ve been traveling and hunting all day and you’re exhausted. You should rest well and go back early tomorrow morning. Don’t rush.”
Shui Yi had already accepted this devastating news. She suppressed the pounding of her heart and patiently tried to persuade Xin Moyan.
"But I want to see my brother right away."
After speaking, Xin Moyan gradually calmed down, but couldn't help feeling a little confused. Her elder brother only said that her brother and Buyu had come, but he didn't mention Xuan Yuan. Could it be that he didn't come?
No, no, if Bu Yu is here, Xuan Yuan will definitely come too!
The more she thought about it, the more certain she became. Xin Moyan stopped insisting on rushing back immediately and just hoped that the sun would rise soon.
"Sister Yan, what kind of person is your brother? Is he as tall and imposing as the Emperor? Is he as handsome as the Emperor?"
Xie Xuanji tilted her head, curious about the topic they were discussing.
"My brother is amazing! He's a martial arts master, a great hero..."
"Sister Yan, tell me about my cousin. Does he look like my aunt?"
“My brother looks just like my father; they’re practically identical.”
How do you remember what your uncle looked like?
"Uncle-in-law?"
"Hehe~ Aunt's husband isn't Uncle!"
"Baili Jueyan, you traitor!"
"Second brother~"
Seeing this, Shui Yi took a step back and then slowly withdrew from the tent.
She gazed at the bonfire, the branches crackling as they burned, the bright firelight illuminating her face and revealing a hint of sorrow.
Ah Ling, he's finally here. She should be happy, because the siblings can finally be reunited, and Yan'er won't be sad anymore. But what about her? How can she face Ah Ling?
Beichen Palace, a palace illuminated by the white light of crystal pearls as if it were daytime, the two sat facing each other, neither of them speaking first.
At this moment, Baili Juebi's face was like ice and frost, his whole body enveloped in a thick layer of cold air. Compared with his appearance in public, his current aloof and indifferent expression was more real.
After a long pause, Xie Cangming smiled and said, "Your Majesty, your temperament is still the same as when you were young, so unapproachable."
Baili Juebi did not reply, his eyes sharp and fixed intently on Xie Cangming.
"Your Majesty, now that you have a younger brother and sister-in-law, why do you seem rather unhappy?"
"You shouldn't have brought him."
"Him? The Emperor is referring to?"
After asking his question, Xie Cangming poured himself a glass of wine and drank it.
"Xuan Yuan, that man who keeps his true abilities hidden."
His cold tone revealed a hint of displeasure. He didn't want Yan'er to see that person at all; he was just a foreigner who dared to covet his sister!
"Hehe~ He's just a fellow traveler, why did Your Majesty single him out by name?"
Xie Cangming still did not give a direct response, thinking to himself that with this attitude, Xuan Yuan would have to pray for good luck.
"how about you?"
"Me? What about me? It's been so many years, Your Majesty seems to prefer making people guess what you're saying."
Baili Juebi glanced at him sideways, "This time I sent someone to bring Yan'er here. If it weren't for A-Ling's eagerness to find his sister, would you not have come back?"
He raised an eyebrow, then suddenly relaxed, looked up and smiled.
"The Emperor knew I was with them, which is why he deliberately left A-Ling behind this time, isn't that right?"
"Since you've figured out my intentions, why are you still bringing so many people from other races with you?"
"As I said, they are all close relatives and friends; it would be unacceptable if any of them didn't come!"
"Hmph! I didn't blame you for deceiving my aunt back then, which is already a great favor. You're still trying to argue your way out of this."
He snorted coldly, the anger in his eyes vanishing in an instant.
Xie Cangming paused for a moment, then smiled helplessly, "It seems the Emperor is still blaming me, thinking that it was my encouragement for Sister Xi to leave Gu Cang that led to this outcome. Sister Xi will not be separated from you forever."
"Is not it?"
"of course not!"
He met those cold, gray eyes directly. "Your Majesty, everything is predestined, and I cannot change it."
