Chapter 814: Hurry and Take Me to See Big Bear!
Chapter 814: Hurry and Take Me to See Big Bear!
Looking at his mother’s dazed little expression, Li Qingmu felt both soft and heartache, but this emotion dissipated when he remembered Rong Si.
It’s better now, although it’s like taking care of a child, but... isn’t he also being a dad now? Just get used to it.
Just like that, sitting in the carriage, they headed all the way towards the Imperial City.
Ahead, a majestic palace gate appeared, the Xuanwu Gate of the Imperial City was here!
As soon as Li Qingmu and the others arrived at the gate, a group of people appeared, led by none other than the long-unseen leader of Yulong Pavilion, Yama!
"Greetings Prince Mu, Princess Consort Mu, we welcome Your Highness back to the capital!"
These people were from Yulong Pavilion, the direct subordinates of the Supreme Emperor Qi Yun. Their presence truly indicated Qi Yun was here to receive them.
Li Qingmu greeted Yama and then followed him back to the Imperial Palace.
On the way, it was peaceful, with the common people just watching so many official figures pass by, instinctively making way.
As for those who knew a bit more, like some officials, they would bow and salute the carriage in respect.
Li Qingmu and Long Yue had previously experienced the Emperor and Imperial Concubine’s three kowtows and nine bows, so these simple gestures no longer felt like the first time, just calm.
Soon, Yama led them to the outside of the Imperial Palace.
"Your Highness, Princess Consort, please, the master is already waiting for you in the Sanqing Palace."
Long Yue and Li Qingmu exchanged a glance and looked up at the simple and humble Imperial Palace. Compared to the grand and luxurious Da Liang Palace, the Palace of Dazhou seemed reserved and silent.
Speaking of it, Li Qingmu preferred this kind of restraint, making people feel comfortable.
"Where’s my big bear, where’s my big bear, why can’t I see him yet, you lied to me, you big liar!"
Rong Si had followed them all the way, thinking she could see Qi Yun early, but arriving here didn’t diminish her hope, and she angrily slapped Li Qingmu’s arm.
Li Qingmu seemed helpless, saying, "Mother, soon, you’ll be able to see him soon."
"I don’t believe you, I don’t believe anything you say!"
Rong Si got angry, and Li Qingmu could only coax her.
Yama looked at Rong Si, who was like a little child, and smiled softly, "Princess Consort Yun, do you remember me?"
Rong Si was stunned and looked carefully at Yama.
Yama wore a mask, but she hadn’t forgotten this mask.
"You..." She pointed at him, suddenly delighted, "Oh, of course, I remember you, you’re Yama, aren’t you? Hmph, don’t think I won’t recognize you just because you changed to a new mask!"
Yama smiled slightly, "Yes, Princess Consort Yun has good eyes!"
"My big bear, my big bear!"
"The Supreme Emperor is inside, Princess Consort Yun, please follow us!"
"Okay, okay, take me to find my big bear quickly!"
Finished speaking, Rong Si followed Yama inside, which made Li Qingmu quite speechless, making it seem like his own son wasn’t reliable?
Long Yue saw her husband’s gloomy face, couldn’t help but want to laugh: "Perhaps... she’s instinctively distrustful of you?"
"Maybe, back then, I caused her to have a breakdown and turned her into this."
Li Qingmu said bitterly.
He couldn’t escape responsibility for Rong Si’s breakdown, so now Rong Si’s distrust was somewhat a feeling of getting a taste of his own medicine.
Worried that Rong Si might cause trouble, the Long Yue couple hurriedly followed.
The Imperial Palace was vast, countless palace maids and eunuchs were shocked to see Li Qingmu and Long Yue return, and scrambled to kneel and pay respects.
Li Qingmu had only been away for two years, and the people in the Imperial Palace hadn’t changed much, everyone still knew this Prince Mu.
Before, many thought Prince Mu was really dead, but later rumors said Prince Mu was in Liang Country, temporarily becoming the talk among the palace maids.
Some said Prince Mu was worried about being suspected, so he fled quickly from the dangerous place.
Others said he was persecuted but was rescued and then went to Daliang, preparing to recuperate and come back for revenge.
In short, there were many rumors.
Qi Yun and Qi Junlian naturally wouldn’t allow such rumors to spread, as they greatly threatened Qi Junlian’s imperial power, so they killed a few gossiping palace maids as an example.
Now with Li Qingmu’s return, their gossip instincts arose again, and after Li Qingmu and Long Yue left, they gathered to whisper and discuss.
Ignoring the varied reactions of the palace attendants behind them, Long Yue and Li Qingmu went straight towards the Sanqing Palace.
In the Sanqing Palace, there wasn’t just Qi Yun, there was their child too.
"Your Highness, the Supreme Emperor has been waiting for some time."
Long Yue and Li Qingmu arrived at the gate of Sanqing Palace, Chen Zhong came out to greet them and warmly welcomed them inside.
Upon entering Sanqing Palace, Li Qingmu and Long Yue immediately inquired about Rui’er’s whereabouts.
Chen Zhong smiled, "Your Highness, Princess Consort, the Young Prince is with His Majesty, please follow this old servant."
"Good!"
"My big bear, my big bear!"
Rong Si, following beside them, with wide round eyes, constantly asked about the whereabouts of "Big Bear", Chen Zhong was first stunned to see Rong Si, then reacted, hurriedly saluting her, "Greetings Princess Consort Yun!"
Seeing Chen Zhong, Rong Si was first stunned, then happily said, "You... it’s you! You’re the little minion beside Big Bear, right?"
Chen Zhong smiled.
If it were anyone else speaking to him like this, they’d certainly face consequences, but only Rong Si could be carefree and reckless.
Just think, for someone whose mind is a bit displaced, what she says and does can only be handled with leniency.
Moreover, this woman was the one the Supreme Emperor had longed for over twenty years!
Chen Zhong smiled slightly, "Yes, it’s this old servant!"
"Ah, wonderful, finally found someone familiar, quickly, take me to see Big Bear! I miss him so much!"
"Sure, sure!"
Princess Consort Yun wanted to see Qi Yun, what’s there to say about it? Chen Zhong quickly took Rong Si to where Qi Yun was.
Along with them went the Long Yue couple.
"Dad, Mom!"
As soon as they entered the bedroom where Qi Yun was, a clear and melodious voice sounded, Xiao Rui’er ran and leaped towards Li Qingmu and Long Yue.
Little children might not jump very high, but Rui’er was too excited, somehow giving an impression of leaping three feet high.
"Rui’er!"
Long Yue quickly spread her arms, hugging her son tightly, kissing him again and again.
Two years, she really missed him!
"Dad, Mom, I missed you, you... finally returned!"
Rui’er was sensible and obedient, seeing Long Yue’s couple return, he was excited to the point his eyes turned red.
Long Yue quickly comforted him.
On the other side, Qi Yun was also stunned in place.
