Chapter 36 Freedom

The old man opened the door slowly, looked at Xiao Zhiyun with tears in his eyes, and asked, "When will my son come back?"

This question was very solemn, and Xiao Zhiyun couldn't answer it. She also hoped that the soldiers would go home early.

Seeing her silence, the old man waved his hands and said, "Your honored guest, come in and sit down."

After the three of them entered the door, they couldn't help feeling desolate when they saw the dilapidated courtyard.

The old man was old and had bad legs, but he entertained them wholeheartedly and listened to his son's voice over and over again.

"Well, well, it's good to be alive." The old man said in a trembling voice.

Before leaving, the old man stuffed them with seven or eight eggs laid by his own old hen, specially cooked them for them to eat on the road.

Originally, they didn't want to take it, but they were really hungry after traveling all night, and after all, it was a little kindness from the old man, so they accepted it.

But Princess Gaomi didn't take it in vain, she secretly threw an ingot of silver into the tea bowl, fearing that the old man would not accept it, so she covered it with a tea lid.

I just hope that the life of the old man will be easier.

They did not stop and continued on their way.

In some villages, the entire middle-aged people in the village joined the army and went to the southern border, so it is much easier to send letters home.

Just looking at the appearance of so many people crying with joy, they felt very uncomfortable.

What impressed Xiao Zhiyun most was going to Da Zhuang's house. After listening to Da Zhuang's voice dozens of times with Da Zhuang's mother, the words "big fat grandson" filled her mind.

And Da Zhuang's fiancée stood beside Da Zhuang Niang, blushing.

So this is that unlucky girl!
It took them more than a month to visit all the red dots on Puyun's map, and it was already autumn.

On the way back, they seemed to have left their souls in the soldiers' homes.

After they went to Taoli Town, they went to the medical hall to pick up King Yong and Concubine Yan. They thought that King Yong would return to the palace early, but they didn't expect that he was actually guarding Concubine Yan in the medical hall.

The two are like ordinary couples, living in the guest hospital of the hospital, going out for a stroll, walking around, hand in hand, talking happily.

On the way back, the two also looked like they were more in love than Jin Jian.

Xiao Zhiyun couldn't help feeling that it would be fine if the two of them were like this all the time, but it's a pity they were all illusions.

When King Yong returned to the palace and had money, he would naturally not be the present him at that time, he must have changed into a fancy dress, plunged into the gentle village of a beautiful wife and beautiful concubine, hugged left and right, so happy.

The return trip always feels like time flies by.

After returning to Ran Hua's inner city, Xiao Zhiyun's mood improved a lot. The sense of belonging brought by her family gave her an indescribable warmth.

But she didn't go home immediately, but went into the palace to pay respects to the old emperor, and by the way, reported the matter of King Yong and Concubine Yan, so as not to add fuel to the palace of Qingxiang and talk nonsense.

Never thought that King Yong and Concubine Yan would also come to the Palace of Imperial Harmony to greet the old emperor.

"Okay, okay, just come back." The old emperor said leisurely.

As he said that, he looked at King Yong, rubbed his hands together, and said embarrassedly: "Son, if Father has done something to offend you, you won't blame Father, will you?"

King Yong knelt on the ground, and after the corner of his mouth twitched, he tentatively said: "You can't be the concubine you have taken as your concubine?"

The old emperor quickly waved his hands, and said in a relaxed tone: "That can't be done, I was flirtatious in my early years, but now I'm no longer meaty."

King Yong breathed a sigh of relief, and replied: "No matter what my father does, I will never blame my father."

The old emperor also breathed a sigh of relief, and said happily: "That's good. In fact, father didn't do anything, but dismissed your concubine room."

As soon as the words fell, King Yong was stunned.

King Yong didn't react for a long time, and asked after a while: "I wonder how many times my father has been dismissed?"

The old emperor waved his hand and said proudly: "All are sent away! Only the concubine is left."

As he spoke, he looked at Concubine Yan, and said with a smile: "Oh, there is still your concubine here."

The old emperor rubbed his hands again, and asked very kindly: "Are you willing to follow Twenty? If you want to leave, I will arrange it for you."

King Yong looked at Concubine Yan in panic, with a hint of threat in his eyes.

Concubine Yan hurriedly lowered her head, her breathing fluctuated slightly, "Concubine... I am willing to follow Your Highness."

The old emperor suddenly changed his face, and said with a little disappointment: "Well then, I will be a good person, and I will not tear apart the mandarin ducks, and leave you to twenty."

King Yong's face was very ugly, and he asked tremblingly: "Father, are Sui Concubine and Tang Concubine also sent away?"

"Then I don't know, I didn't keep any of them anyway." The old emperor pinched his waist with both hands in a good mood.

"Where did you send them?" Yong Wang asked without tears.

The old emperor stroked his beard, as if he was thinking, "Those who returned home, those who remarried, those who became monks, and those who started their own businesses, anyway, there are good places to go."

Only now did Xiao Zhiyun understand why the old emperor asked King Yong to send letters home with her.

If you want to dismiss King Yong's side concubines, you can't do it in front of King Yong, right?In case a man has a lover and a concubine, it will be hard to part with each other...

It would be easier if King Yong and his side concubines were not allowed to be together.

Now, those side concubines of Qingxiang Hall are free, which is a good thing!

King Yong looked at the old emperor sadly, and asked resentfully: "Father, don't you care about the matter of taking concubines?"

As he spoke, he pointed at Xiao Zhiyun, "Xiao Siji was there when you said this? Right? Xiao Siji?"

Xiao Zhiyun looked up into the shrewd eyes of the old emperor, pretending not to know, "Has Your Majesty said that? I have no impression."

The old emperor turned around and sat down, and replied, "I don't remember saying that either."

After taking his seat, the old emperor changed his face, and asked King Yong in a deep voice, "Twenty is my fault?"

Seeing the old emperor's cold face, King Yong quickly bent over and kowtowed, and said in a panic, "My son has no such intentions!"

"Well, if you dare to take a concubine again, I will kill you immediately." The old emperor's voice became colder, "I will kill you!"

King Yong's body trembled slightly, and he said again and again: "I dare not, I dare not."

"You don't even dare." The old emperor casually leaned on the chair, glanced at Xiao Zhiyun, raised his hand slightly and said, "Zhiyun get up."

Xiao Zhiyun hurriedly got up and waited beside her.

The old emperor put his hands together and said lazily: "Don't think that it's over if you don't accept the side concubine. If you let me hear that you have done something ugly again, you can go to the Taoist temple to practice."

Saying that the old emperor no longer had to look straight at King Yong, he snorted and said, "Go away."

After King Yong and Concubine Yan left, the old emperor looked at Xiao Zhiyun and asked, "Is this trip going well? Did the little bastard cause you any trouble?"

Xiao Zhiyun replied cautiously: "Actually, I haven't been with His Highness for a long time. Concubine Yan had a miscarriage, so they didn't go..."

After hearing this, the old emperor took a deep breath, snorted coldly and said, "You little bastard who has more success than failure!"

After roughly reporting on the trip, Xiao Zhiyun left the palace and returned to the Qinghou Mansion.

Lying on the couch in her own bedroom, she thought over and over a question in her heart, what exactly did Prince Zhao write in the letter to the old emperor?
After thinking for a while, she took out her mobile phone and sent a message to Prince Zhao.

"Your Highness, I'm home."

After a while, Prince Zhao replied, "Have a good rest."

Seeing that Prince Zhao didn't intend to chat, Xiao Zhiyun typed and sent it again.

"Your Majesty dismissed all the side concubines of His Royal Highness King Yong."
