MTL - King’s Landing: The Proud Empress-Chapter 549 Xiao Moran's story

  Chapter 549 The Story of Xiao Moran

   Seeing this, Jun Li actually didn't feel too much surprise, so he put the envelope on the candle and lit it lightly.

   Jun Li walked out of the imperial study room until all the envelopes were burned to ashes.

  In the past few days, Junli always feels that the day in her dream is not far away!

  Back to the bedroom, after having lunch with Mu Xiuzhu, Jun Li embraced him and took a nap together.

  Early the next morning, Junli wrote a letter and went to Zhongyi Kingdom.

  In general, it means to ask Mo Kuang not to bring Yun Qing back, but to let him stay in Zhongyi Kingdom for a while longer.

   Junli also made this decision after careful consideration.

   After all, the Beirong Kingdom has become the main battlefield with the Yin Clan. Huang Yunqing's return now undoubtedly made her worry about one more person. Instead of this, it is better to be safer in Zhongyi Kingdom.

   For the next ten days or so, Junli was always busy and never got away.

  Until one day, the servants in Xiao Moran's palace suddenly ran over in a panic, saying that Xiao Moran had disappeared.

  Hearing this, Jun Li frowned, and immediately ordered the guards to search the palace, but found nothing.

  Finally, a careful attendant found a letter under Xiao Moran's pillow, and hurriedly sent it to Junli.

  Jun Li opened it up and saw that there were only a few sentences inside. The general meaning is that he has left the palace now, and will wait for her in Jing'an Temple in three days.

  Jing'an Temple is the largest temple in the imperial city, and it is also the temple with the most incense.

  Junli was a little puzzled that Xiao Moran chose to be here, but he was planning to go.

   Maybe there is something to say, and it's time to talk openly and honestly.

  After handling all the government affairs, Junli arrived at Jing'an Temple on time three days later. And behind him, followed by some guards.

   Eunuch Duan let Eunuch Duan take over the guards, and Junli did not refuse.

  Jing'an Temple is still full of incense and people come and go.

  The guards were all guarding outside, only Junli walked in.

   Entering Jing'an Temple, a young novice soon greeted him, "Is there a word Li in the name of the benefactor?"

   Junli nodded.

  The little novice novice put his palms together, "Almsgiver, please follow me." Then he turned and left.

   Seeing this, Jun Li raised his eyebrows and followed.

   Turning around and turning eight times, he came to a side room very quickly, and the little novice said, "The benefactor is inside, please come in, benefactor." After saying a word of Amitabha, he turned and left.

  Jun Li stood there for a while, then opened the door and walked in.

  Under the Buddha statue and on the futon, a man in red clothes was kneeling, reciting Buddhist scriptures with his head bowed.

  Jun Li just listened quietly, and after an unknown amount of time, the sound of reciting Buddhist scriptures stopped.

  Xiao Moran got up slowly, turned to look at Junli, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, you are here."

  Jun Li pursed his lips and remained silent.

  Responding to this, Xiao Moran still smiled like a flower, "I have stayed here for two days, Your Majesty will accompany me out for a walk?"

  Hearing this, Junli nodded, and walked out of the wing room with Xiao Moran.

   "There is a forest over there, let's go there for a walk." Xiao Moran said, but this time, he walked forward without waiting for Junli's answer.

   Seeing this, Jun Li lowered his eyes slightly and walked together.

   Gradually, the hustle and bustle of human voices began to fade away, and the sight was all lush green.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Xiao Moran raised his head and looked into the distance, and said with a light smile, "I used to come here to relax whenever I had troubles. The only imperial city in Nuoda, this is the only place where I can truly relax. "

   As he spoke, Xiao Moran came to a small stream, sat on a big rock, stretched out his hand and patted aside, and said, "Sit down, I want to tell you something today."

  Jun Li glanced at the round stone surface beside him, walked over and sat down.

   After a moment of silence, Xiao Moran raised his head and looked into the distance, his voice suddenly tinged with sadness.

   "Your Majesty, have you ever trusted someone so much? You have trusted so much that you have become stupid?" Xiao Moran said in a low voice.

  Hearing this, Jun Li slowly shook his head, "There must be people who trust me very much. But their brains are still very smart." They will never even become stupid.

  After the words fell, Xiao Moran lowered his head, a hint of sarcasm flashed in his eyes. After a while, he said softly, "I have."

"Your Majesty, do you know? I used to trust someone so much that I lost my reason and mind." He sneered and continued, "I used to think that she was my God, my everything, my everything. all of…"

   At the end, his voice suddenly dropped to a half-sound.

  Junli sat aside, not speaking. Looking up at the white clouds in the sky, breathing in the fresh air around you, listening to the sound of the stream flowing under your feet...

  It is indeed a place where it is easy to relax.

   "Your Majesty, have you ever been betrayed by someone you trust? Or have you been deceived?"

  Hearing this, Jun Li shook his head, "Someone I trust betrayed me? There is no such thing at the moment. As for cheating, there may or may not be."

  Responding to Junli's answer, Xiao Moran smiled lightly, looking down at the stream flowing under his feet, a trace of pain flashed in his eyes.

   "Your Majesty, do you have time to listen to me tell a story?" Xiao Moran lowered his eyes. Since this meeting outside the palace, he has never called himself "Servant".

  Jun Li looked at the sky, nodded and said, "Say it, I'm all ears."

Seeing this, Xiao Moran smiled slightly, and said slowly, "A long time ago, there was a little orphan whose parents were starved to death due to a famine, and he was the only one who survived. Later, only the seven-year-old He started begging for food everywhere, but every time he begged for copper coins or meals, those old beggars would take them away, and he often couldn't eat a bite of food for a day or two."

   "Then one day, he was so hungry that he couldn't resist stealing a bun from the owner of the bun shop, but he was discovered. He was beaten half to death by the boss." Speaking of this, Xiao Moran showed a wry smile in his eyes.

"Just when the little orphan thought he was going to be beaten to death, someone rescued him. It was a little girl. The girl not only paid the boss, but also asked the little orphan if he would like to go to her home, join her big family, and share with her family. All of them live together."

   "Of course the little orphan agreed. He and the little girl stayed there for a full ten years. During the ten years, the two of them were childhood sweethearts and had no guesses. The little orphan had already secretly fallen in love with the girl in his heart."

"Later, when the two grew up, one day, the girl gave the little orphan a jade pendant, saying that she had always liked him, but she never dared to express her feelings because of the family's disapproval. Now giving the jade pendant is a As a token of love, I will marry the little orphan in the future."

   "The little orphan was very happy, but soon, the man disappeared. No matter how hard he searched, he couldn't find the girl again."
