Da Li Temple - Chapter 79.1

Chapter 79.1
Momentary Farewell

“Miss!” Lailuo’s voice came from above her head, and Luo Wanqing felt her arms tighten as Lailuo pulled her out of the water.
??
Lailuo slapped her hard on the back, and she spat out a mouthful of water.
??
“In …… here ……,” Lin Wanqing murmured, tugging Lailuo’s hand and refusing to go until more voices came behind her.
??
The people from Da Li Temple were coming. She briefly instructed the location of the explosives before following Lailuo onto the shore. The banks of the Taiyi Pond, which had been silent just a moment ago, were now boiling. After hearing the rattling of the inner palace, the imperial soldiers immediately decided to separate some of the people to protect the Emperor at the Daming Palace.
??
The Da Li Temple’s people came in time. After destroying the cover and soaking the explosives in water, the explosives were no longer usable. As a result, the scarce rebels were soon stripped off and defeated by the imperial soldiers. After the situation reversed, the Lin De Palace’s siege was solved. The wind and snow gradually stopped, and the moon quietly showed its head, dragging people’s shadows long.
??
Lin Wanqing gathered the outer cloak she borrowed from an imperial guard. In the end, she found some warmth. She only rested for a few moments before getting up and wanting to follow the soldiers who cleaned up the mess towards the Lin De Palace.
??
Lailuo could only help her. People had already filled the outside of the Lin De Palace. The Emperor was still inside to ensure safety, awaiting confirmation that the rebels had been completely wiped out.
??
The imperial soldiers counted the corpses while sprinting, creating the smell of earth between their steps. A faint smell of blood filled the air and the smell of burnt planks mixed with the smoke that had not yet dissipated drilled into the nose.

King Liang, this madman, saw that the plan failed and was like the struggling trapped beast. He even kicked over the bronze lamp in the hall, the wax oil splashing onto the floor, and burned the curtains. The good thing was that the fire was extinguished quickly, but it was unclear whether people were injured.
??
Lin Wanqing was stunned. Seeing this mess, she let go of Lailuo’s hand and ran towards the front without stopping. A long sword suddenly blocked her path. The imperial soldiers blocked her way, saying they were under orders to protect the Emperor, and no one was allowed to approach.
??
Lin Wanqing could only retreat in a daze. A few moments later, the door to the Lin De Palace opened. Emperor Yonghui, surrounded by Thousand Bull Guards, marched out from inside. Almost everyone followed, and before her eyes, people’s heads were swarming, the sound of footsteps and armor resounding into a chaotic mess. But she did not see Su Moyi. Anxiety and trepidation struck, trying to engulf her in an instant.

Lin Wanqing’s breath faltered, and not caring about the imperial soldier’s obstruction, she stumbled after the group of Thousand Bull Guards who had left.
??
“Jing, Jingche ……” Her voice stuck in her throat. It was extraordinarily light, like snowflakes falling from the sky, melting before it touched the body.
??
“Jingche …… Jingche ……” She ran and cried, feeling the icy cold that covered the sky just now was not as bad as her despair. He wasn’t here; he didn’t walk out with Emperor Yonghui. But if he’s not here, where else could he be?
??
Does this mean __
“Ugh!!!” A strong hand suddenly reached behind her, fishing for her waist, and she stumbled, her back slamming straight into a hard chest with a thud. She heard him grunt. “Didn’t I tell you to stay in the Heir Residence and not run around?”
??
It was a question with a hint of reprimand in its tone; it didn’t sound good. However, when it rang in Luo Wanqing’s ears at this moment, she felt it was like heavenly music. She smiled, turned around, and hugged him. All of her grievances and anxieties exploded at this moment, and she buried her face into his chest and then bawled like no one around.
??
She was terrified when she couldn’t see him, afraid that he would do the same thing as last time, leave after burning the marriage certificate. After seventeen years, he was the only one who could make her break her defenses so much. She hadn’t told him how much she liked him. She liked him so much that it was beyond her wildest dreams.

Therefore, he couldn’t go anywhere anymore.

Su Moyi froze, startled by such a Lin Wanqing. He subconsciously held her shoulders, wanting to pull the person away so he could see her face. The helpless woman on his body was like a root, deadlocking her weak arms on his waist, crying and sobbing, refusing to let go.

Looking at her in his arms, crying sadly, Su Moyi surprisingly felt a tug on his heart. With slightly red eyes, he could not help but gently pat her back to soothe her: “Okay, okay. Don’t cry, it’s okay.”
??
But with this pat, he realized the person in his arms was utterly freezing. Her hair was wet and emitting a white gas due to the cold weather. The clothing on her body was thin, except for the cloak that could still protect against the wind; there was only a middle garment inside.
??
“Miss came over when she heard the sound of the inner palace.” Lailuo stood on the side, looking at the young couple who were mushy after the calamity, and couldn’t help but skim her lips.
??
“Come over ……?” Su Moyi was stunned as if he had reacted to something. No matter how tightly Lin Wanqing hugged and cried, he pulled her up and asked, “You swam from the Taiyi Pond to here?!”
??
Lin Wanqing did not answer, only crying. With a breath, Su Moyi felt emotions fill his heart: sweetness, worries, annoyance, and self-blaming. She was like a small stone falling into the lake, effortlessly stirring his feelings and making him cry and laugh. But when his thoughts returned, even though he felt it was sweet, he couldn’t allow her to do it again. Thus, in public, in front of Lailuo’s face, he thought restoring this husband’s program was necessary.
??
“Nonsense!” He straightened up his face and put on his one-person air, sinking his face to educate this woman who didn’t take her body seriously.

“Mmmm ……” The next moment, she pinched his mouth. It was indeed a pinch. Lin Wanqing’s hand was precise and fast. She lifted his two slightly opened and closed lips and then closed them again.
??
Lord Su soon couldn’t even say “uh” anymore.
??
“…… ” In public, in front of Lailuo, she didn’t give him any face. It was okay not to let him speak, but directly using her hands; it was so unelegant. His pressure, which could make all the officials tremble in the courtroom, was useless to this small recorder of the ninth rank. She didn’t treat him as a court official at all. Thinking about this, the corner of Su Moyi’s mouth rose with a hard-to-conceal smile – it would be best not to be her superior; he could be her husband.
