Your Highness, the Empress Runs Away Again - C212 Ghost Woman Town

After bidding farewell to Yezishan, they left the Maze Mountain.

“This lady of yours is a very emotional person.” A trace of a smile appeared on Nangong Yu’s face.

He thought that given the other party’s age, he should be a conservative and stubborn person, just like the fox-kind elder. Seems like he was wrong.

“Although I don’t have a deep relationship with her, she has a straightforward personality. Being straightforward is also the reason why I’ve come thousands of miles to thank her.”

People who didn’t know how to beat around the bush were easier to get along with.

“Now that everything has been completed, I heard that the war with Jingli is long over. We should return to the imperial court as soon as possible. Don’t worry about them.” It wasn’t that Nangong Yu missed the feeling of being the emperor, but if she dragged things out any longer, he wouldn’t be able to explain it to the rest of the world.

“I understand, I understand.” Yun Luo took his hand and said, “However, our great general is not bad. In the absence of the emperor, he can beat up Dongluo and cut the land to compensate for his loss. How impressive.”

If it were any other person, they might not even be half as good as Chu Jingli.

Thinking about it, the person holding the Dian Cang Sword was indeed a hero.

“You only realized now?” Nangong Yu raised his eyebrows. “He and I are like brothers. In the past, when we fought together in the battlefield, I’ve seen his courage and strategy. In this world, he doesn’t deserve the title of Martial Immortal.”

There was a saying that a wise king was worthy of a virtuous official. Nangong Yu never worried that Chu Jingli would succeed. This was because he knew that even if someone placed a knife against his neck to force him to rebel, he wouldn’t.

Chu Jingli had his own personality and also his own integrity.

“Then, will our emperor not disappoint the title of emperor?” Yun Luo purposely teased him.

She remembered when she first met him, she hated him so much that she became annoyed when she saw him.

After getting along with the other party for so long, it seemed like he needed some time to see through the other party.

“If you say so, then so be it. If you say so, then no.” He was used to putting the initiative into her hands.

Yun Luo curled her lips, “Then I don’t think so. Back then, who was the one that unreasonably invited the Daoist Priest to come down here? Luckily, those Daoist Priest were all useless. Otherwise, I definitely wouldn’t be standing in front of you right now.”

Nangong Yu slightly creased his brow, “It was indeed my mistake in the past, but at that time, your appearance was a little inappropriate.”

He had always wanted to chase after the world, so he had fought alongside Chu Jingli. He had wanted to send troops to South Yan, but that South Yan Emperor had sent a princess to resolve the conflict.

That being said, in order to not give others an excuse, he could only accept that tragic fact. However, this wife was always targeting him. How could he endure that? Thus, after that, they could only walk further and further on the road of mutual harm.

“Then did I stop you?” Yun Luo asked seriously.

“Nope.” Nangong Yu was quite open-minded. “When a person obtains something, they will lose something. This is the principle behind the endless flow of things.”

“Your Majesty is so eloquent, yet you remain silent in front of others. What a pity.” Thinking back to back at Maze Mountain, he said a few words?

He even almost made his aunt think he was a mute.

Nangong Yu didn’t seem to mind. “If the Son of Heaven can talk to anyone, then he’s not called the Son of Heaven.”

The emperor had to always have the dignity of an emperor. He would chatter all day long, so where was the dignity?

“In other words, you are the Son of Heaven for me alone?” Yun Luo turned her head and smiled, “I feel flattered all of a sudden.”

Nangong Yu held back his laughter and didn’t comment.

In fact, it was only half a month’s journey from the Maze Mountains to Xuansui. Since it was raining heavily, they could only stay in a small town for a few more days.

This town was called Ghost Woman Town, its name was a little scary.

Of course, the town itself was very terrifying. There was not a single person on the streets during the day, but at night, the streets would be filled with people. Even though it was raining heavily, they would still come out to buy things.

Nangong Yu could be considered someone who had seen the world, but he had never seen such a strange town like this.

In the room of the inn, Yun Luo washed her face, “They are all humans, not ghosts. I can see that.”

She could tell that he had at least three hundred years of cultivation experience.

Nangong Yu nodded, “You can live like a ghost. This place isn’t a place to stay for long.”

Yun Luo tried to sound out the situation, “Are you afraid, your majesty?”

Actually, she was just asking to play. He wasn’t even afraid of imps, how could he be afraid of ghost-like mortals? However, this kind of terrifying atmosphere was indeed enough to send chills down one’s spine.

“It’s just that the light at night is dim and won’t be easy to see through. If they were to plot against us, I’m afraid that we wouldn’t be the only ones to suffer.”

This silly girl didn’t know that she was worried about her safety.

Yun Luo walked over to the bed and proudly said, “You don’t have to be afraid, I will protect you.”

Nangong Yu suddenly reached out a hand to pull her into his arms, “You should first protect yourself first.”

Just like that, he ate the tofu without any preparation.

When he woke up the next morning, it was still raining.

The couple went downstairs to eat breakfast.

The employees of the inn all had bitter expressions, as if someone owed them 100,000 silver.

Yun Luo was very puzzled. If they lived like this every day, wouldn’t it be hard for them, wouldn’t it be tiring?

Alas, she was becoming more and more curious about the town.

And the name of the town, the devil, the devil, the devil? Had there really been a ghost here?

Initially, he shouldn’t meddle in other people’s business. However, since he had already come here, he would feel regretful if he didn’t ask clearly.

She waved to the man, who approached slowly.

“Excuse me, waiter. Can you tell me the story of this town?” It wasn’t as if Yun Luo didn’t know the rules, she just placed a little bit of “sincerity” into the palm of his hand.

The shop assistant rejected him and said coldly, “You two can leave after the rain stops. I have no comment on the story of this town.”

Yun Luo smiled but did not say anything. They were indeed very mysterious.

Nangong Yu quietly parted his lips, “As the saying goes, money can make a ghost to grind. It seems like your silver really is quite hard to spend.”

Yun Luo, however, was not discouraged. “Children talk too much. We’ll find a child to ask about it tonight.”

If the adults hadn’t said so, would the children have hidden it? She didn’t believe it. She had to get to the bottom of this.

Nangong Yu shook her head, “Your stubborn personality is still the same as always.”

However, since she had the intention, he would naturally accompany her to the end. After all, they were husband and wife.

It was finally night.

Yun Luo carried her umbrella as she walked out onto the street. Nangong Yu also held her umbrella as he followed behind her.

The street was bustling with cries and cries, no different from the usual street markets during the day. It was only because it had rained at night that the streets had been shrouded in a layer of gloom.

It wasn’t easy to find a little boy curled up in a corner to hide from the rain. The child’s eyes blinked as he looked completely innocent. It seemed that he was cold and hungry.

Yun Luo’s mother’s heart was filled with love. She hastily ordered Nangong Yu to buy two hot steamed buns.

And our emperor is really doing things for her.
