C78 (1/2)
Mu Rousang laughed through her veil, and said gently: ”Let's board the boat quickly, we must not delay any further.”
The group of people came to the side of the boat, ”Xiao Sangsang!” Yang Zixuan called out to her!
Mu Rousang turned to look at him, quietly standing by the side of the ship!
”You guys go first, I will directly return to the capital from Xiangyang!” Yang Zixuan really wanted to personally send her on the ship.
Mu Rousang was stunned and asked: ”You don't want to leave from Shu Province?”
Then he laughed and said, ”That's right. We can still save ten days if we travel from here. If we return to Sichuan with us, we will waste quite a few more days! ”You, take care!”
”Got it, be careful on your way!” Yang Zixuan opened his eyes wide and looked at her, wanting to take his frown and smile back into his heart.
”Big brother Yang, it's getting late, we'll go first!” Mu Jinzhi and the others had access to invitations, so they did not need to worry about being questioned by officials on the water route. Since they were on a government boat, there would not be any big problems walking back to Shu Province.
When Mu Jinzhi passed by him, he softly said: ”Don't let Xiao Sangsang know! In case she's worried. ”
Someone else was needed to stay behind to obstruct Su Ruirui's footsteps, and Yang Zixuan had to take the responsibility.
Yang Zixuan was left behind, Mu Rousang did not ask in detail, maybe everyone understood, but they did not want to know about the pain.
She stood on the bow of the ship and lightly waved towards Yang Zixuan. A light breeze blew past her veil and her gaze looked in the direction of the Duke Palace, Su Ruirui, this person who had been carved on her heart, hoped that they would not hurt each other again …
At the same time, Su Ruirui was busy working on the construction site. When Fan Yingde received the news, he and his subordinates were in the room discussing about building the pier.
It was only after the chickens were crowed three times that the exhausted crowd finally walked out of the house.
”Your Highness!” Fan Yingde's hair was stained with a lot of dew.
Su Ruirui swept his eyes across him and said indifferently: ”Serve me go rest.”
”Your Highness!” Fan Yingde called out again.
”What's the matter?” Su Ruirui stopped in his tracks.
”Yes, wood girl is going to take the official ship back to Shu Province!” He was afraid that he had already left the borders of the Xiangyang.
Su Ruirui's pupils constricted as he looked at his coldly with a merciless gaze.
”Prepare the horse!”
He snatched the reins from the hands of the stableboy, jumped onto the horse, and lashed out with the whip. The horse, in pain, shot out like an arrow from a bow.
”Your highness, your highness!” When Fan Yingde rushed to the stable, he only managed to eat the grass that was sent flying when the horses galloped.
”Quick, guard, follow him quickly!” Fan Yingde anxiously pulled his horse out from the stable and climbed up, while shouting, he chased after them.
”Giddy up!” On a street in Xiangyang, the people who were sleeping soundly were woken up by the sound of the hooves of the horses. Before they even had the chance to curse, the clear sound of the horses' hooves had already traveled far away, causing the people who were woken up to think that they were dreaming. Following that, the thundering sound of horses' hooves could be heard once again, and they quickly disappeared...
Su Ruirui used both of his big hands to pull on the reins. He couldn't wait for the horse to reach the Xiangyang Pier with just a jump.
He didn't know how many booths he had knocked over in the morning, nor did he know if he had bumped into anyone. He only had one thought in his mind, hurry up, even faster, I must get there in time.
Xiangyang Pier was bustling with noise and excitement in the morning light. Had he finally arrived? Which official ship was she on? When Su Ruirui arrived at the head of the horse and suddenly reined it in, the horse whinnied in pain as it raised its front legs. Su Ruirui tightly held onto the horse's body as he looked around the many boats with his heartless eyes, hoping that the familiar figure would appear, but unfortunately, he was destined to be disappointed!
Mu Rousang had finally returned on the official ship. He looked at the ship flying back and forth across the Xiangyang River, the morning light shining on the river with golden specks of light, did he hear the sorrowful cries from the bottom of his heart? Those specks of golden light were the tears that welled up from the bottom of his heart! It was crying …. Su Ruirui's love died under the power of the imperial family …
”Good morning, Your Highness!” Yang Zixuan waved his fan lightly and casually walked in front of him.
Su Ruirui sat on his horse and looked down at him in silence. He quickly withdrew the weakness in his heart, and straightened his broad and broad back, constantly reminding himself that he was the Duke of Xiangyang, the third son of the current Emperor. As the son of the Emperor, he should be proud of his noble bloodline, and shouldn't show weakness in front of others! Especially in front of Yang Zixuan!
Yang Zixuan also stopped his sloppy character and said seriously: ”Alright! Before San'er left, she said that she left a letter in your room. If you go back too late, I'm afraid … ”
”Giddy up!” Without waiting for him to finish, Su Ruirui used his strength to pull on the horse rope. The big Ferghana Horse raised its front hooves and screamed, and then turned and ran towards the direction of the Duke Palaces, its powerful rear hooves kicking on the stone floor causing a layer of dirt to splash onto Yang Zixuan's clothes.
”Young Master!” Xiao Tong looked at him worriedly.
Yang Zixuan sighed as he looked down at his dirty clothes, and said: ”It's a good thing that I didn't wear Xiao Sangsang's clothes today, otherwise, my heart would have died from the pain!”
