1647 You Can’t Escape From It
The thought of not being able to see each other for a long time made Beitang You have a sudden urge to abandon the imperial court and follow her to Great Shang.
“It’ll only make it harder for me to part with you if you do this.” He sighed and caressed her beautiful hair.
Yaoyao had calmed down by now and knew that her actions would only make him want to be with her even more.
Moreover, her big brother and the others were waiting for her. If she continued this, their journey would be delayed.
At this thought, she had to force herself to release her hand. “I’ll be going off now.”
Beitang You noticed Long Yin watching them from not far off. He forced himself to let her go as he patted her shoulder and cajoled her gently. “Alright, time to get you back into the carriage. Otherwise, your big brother will come here to drag you off personally.”
“Okay,” Yaoyao replied obediently.
“Come on. I’ll walk you to the carriage.” Beitang You held her hand and led her toward the waiting carriage.
When they reached the carriage, Long Yin glanced at them stoically but said nothing.
After helping Yaoyao into the vehicle, Beitang You went to the window and knocked on it. “Yaoyao.”
Yaoyao pulled up the blinds and looked at him. Her eyes were red. “What is it?”
Beitang You’s heart ached when he saw her bloodshot eyes. He really wanted to keep this girl here no matter the price and stop her from leaving.
Fortunately, he was still rational enough to fight his urge. All he did was clenched his fists into tight balls, which hung on either side of his body.
It took him quite a while to speak in a calmer tone. “I have something for you.”
“What is it?” Yaoyao tried her best to hide her reluctance to leave as she looked at him curiously.
Beitang You passed her a box and said gently, “Keep this well.”
“Alright.” Yaoyao touched the box in her arms and was not in a hurry to open it. Her eyes gazed at the man outside the carriage and then suddenly misted up.
Beitang You took a step forward when he saw the girl staring at him longingly. He pressed her head down slightly and kissed her on the forehead. “Listen to your mother when you get back. You’re not allowed to run around.”
“I’ll make sure to do that.” Yaoyao nodded in a daze.
“You should go now.” Beitang You waved at her and took two steps back.
The carriage finally began to move.
Beitang You stood where he was and watched as the carriage left.
It was only when he could no longer see the carriage that he turned to return to the Palace.
He had to hurry up and settle things in the imperial court in order to make time for him to travel to Great Shang.
First, there was the issue with Prince Chen. It was been quite a while since he had launched his secret plan and it was now time to execute it.
Yaoyao hugged the box Beitang You gave her in the carriage and did not speak for a long time.
Hexin and Bao Yu were silent as well; they did not say anything when they saw how depressed she was.
It was a long time before Yaoyao finally sighed and opened the box.
She wanted to see what Big Brother Beitang had given her.
When she opened the box and saw what was contained inside, she was shocked.
She took it out to examine. It was the Phoenix Seal.
“Why did he give this to me?” When she regained her senses, she blinked a few times in astonishment.
Hexin and Bao Yu were also greatly shocked when they saw the Phoenix Seal in her hand.
It took some time for them to react. Hexin eventually said with a laugh, “His Majesty has given you the Phoenix Seal in advance as a reminder that he has appointed you as the Empress. You can’t escape from it.”
Yaoyao glared coyly at her. “You know a lot for someone so young.”
“What does this have anything to do with age?” Hexin said with a huff.
Yaoyao felt this to be a sweet moment. She suddenly pulled open the blinds and held the Phoenix Seal toward Long Yin, as if presenting a treasure, and said, “Take a look at this, Big Brother.”
Long Yin was riding the horse next to the carriage and had already heard the conversation between the three ladies. When he saw the Phoenix Seal in his younger sister’s hand, he indulged her with a quick glance. “Is the Phoenix Seal the only thing you like about him?”
