The Fourth Lady novel Chapter 89

Murong Jingxuan buried himself in her arms. Sometimes, he really wanted to meet his mother, even if just once, but he knew this was only something he could imagine. As to Jingshu's appearance, he didn't remember too clearly, but even so, she was still his mother who worries about him.

"Jingxuan, don't be sad." Qingyan patted him on the back with a smile, "You'll be happy."

Murong Jingxuan looked to her and held up her face, dropping a kiss on her forehead. "Yan'er, you know, sometimes I would feel really happy, because I know that you'll always be by my side."

Qingyan looked him and nodded earnestly, "I will always be at your side, that will never change."

"The matter with Xiu Ran, I'll tell the Fourth Prince. Counting the days, Su Yun should be back soon. You don't need to worry." Murong Jingxuan patted her on the back, "Everything will be fine."

Qingyan, seeing Murong Jingxuan slightly tired, nodded, "Okay."

He glanced to her one last time, before flying away.

Seeing Murong Jingxuan's figure in the distance, Qingyan walked over to her bed and closed her eyes. Last night, she didn't sleep for the whole night, and in addition to wasting so much time this morning, probably only with a good sleep, can she finally feel a bit at ease.

Just, father, mother, big brother, you all need to come back safely.

-----------------------------

Meanwhile, somewhere five hundred li* away from the capital, an army was just setting up camp. A man dressed in armor was sitting by the campfire roasting a lamb, and sitting next to him was woman with her hair in a high bun. One look and you could tell she was a female general that could rival men. This couple was precisely Su Yun and Luo Bing.

(*TN: Li is an ancient measurement approximately 1 li is 500 meters.)

"Dear, we'll arrive at the capital soon. I wonder if Yan'er has been well these three years." Luo Bing look to Su Yun reluctantly and spoke, "From the beginning, I've said I wanted to keep her by our side, but you wouldn't agree."

"Don't worry, second sister-in-law and third sister-in-law will help us take good care of Yan'er." Su Yun carved out the roasting lamb leg and handed it Luo Bing.

Luo Bing looked to him and took the lamb leg from his hands, "But Yan'er, that child, for some reason isn't close with us." When Luo Bing thought of this, she felt a bit upset.

That was the daughter she carried for 10 months and gave birth to, how could she not love. But Yan'er felt estranged and not the least bit close with them.

"Yan'er...we naturally owe her too much." When Su Yun thought of this, he also felt a bitter taste in his mouth. If it wasn't for the fact that they were out year-round, how could he not want to raise his daughter by his side.

Who doesn't want to enjoy the bliss of having one's children around.

"Dear, this time the Emperor suddenly called us back to the capital, do you think something could have happened?" Luo Bing looked to Su Yun and asked in a serious tone.

Su Yun shook his head, "His Majesty's intentions isn't something we can guess at."

Although Su Yun didn't understand Hongjia Emperor, he still trusted him very much. After all, they were once under the same master and were fellow apprentices. In their youth, the two of them were very good friends. This was also the reason why Su Yun was the one that succeed the title of Dingguo Duke.

Donghe's throne is to be inherited by the Crown Prince, but Su Yun knew very well that Hongjia Emperor had a soft spot for the Imperial Consort and her son, the Fourth Prince. But to no avail, the Imperial Consort didn't pursue after these things, and her Fourth Prince had always stood by the Crown Prince's side.
