Chapter 50

The night is dark and the mountains are like charms.

The school at the foot of the mountain is quiet and dark, with only a few lights dotting it.The students were all on winter vacation, and there was no one there.

I stood under a peach tree with dense branches and leaves beside the small playground, and said to Mu Xian, "I planted this tree when I was in the fifth grade, isn't it good?"

Mu Xianqing stood coldly behind me, and replied in a low voice: "Yes."

Mo Lin next to him suddenly interjected: "Your Highness, the conditions for studying when you were young were really hard."

I smiled: "This is the best school nearby, and it's actually not bitter."

We have been on earth for half a month.

After visiting Chengdu, Mo Lin circled some places on the map, and we started our global travel.Of course, with super-light speed fighters and the reception of Stan people from all over the place, they shuttled to their destination almost instantly.

We went to the majestic and rugged East African Rift Valley, as well as the hellish Siberian tundra, as well as the fossil forest and the magic tower mountain... Molin had the most fun, followed by me and Mopu.Mu Xian has always been flat.This made Mo Lin feel a little guilty all the time. Last night, he deliberately instigated me to ask Mu Xian, is there really nowhere he wants to go?

After thinking carefully, Mu Xianzai replied: "Then go and see where you lived."

So here we are tonight.

Before I was 15 years old, I lived with my grandmother in my hometown, and I only came to Rongshi in high school.Ten years have passed, and everything in the small town seems to be stagnant with time, and nothing has changed.

We wandered around the not-so-spacious campus for a while, and based on my vague memory, I roughly pointed it out to Mu Xian:
"When it's recess, I come to this table tennis table to play."

"I like the music classroom the most. This old piano was new at the time, and I had studied it for a few days."

"These hula hoops used to be very popular. There were competitions in the city at that time. But the ones I used must have been thrown away..."

……

A few days ago, when we went to play in other places, Mu Xian was always expressionless.He listened to me talking about these trivial matters, but he watched everything carefully and listened very attentively.

When he was leaving the school gate, he suddenly said, "Mo Pu."

Mo Pu replied: "Yes. I will go shopping tomorrow."

I thought to myself, does he want Mo Pu to buy the school history badge?

I feel a little awkward.

***
The next day, we went back to the spaceship and planned to check our luggage - because we are going back to Stan tomorrow.Unexpectedly, after this trip, I found out what Mu Xian bought yesterday.

In the past half month, the storage compartment was full of the spoils of the three of us "all kinds of weird things that Mo Lin likes (Zhang Fei's mask, ear picks, wild horse skulls, Qiong Yao's complete set of works...); Exotic handicrafts that Mopp likes; and some books, CDs, snacks, clothes that I bought.

But now, most of the space in the storage warehouse is taken up by the things Mu Xian bought:

The peach tree I planted was completely transplanted; the old piano I played in school for a few days was placed in the corner of the cabin; even the dilapidated, broken and heavy cement table tennis table was moved here.

And the things I kept at home in Rongshi when I was in high school—clothes, books, even pillows, quilts... I suspect he moved everything from the entire room here.

"What do you want these for?" I just feel a black thread, spanning thousands of light years, and bring it back to Star Stan?

He stood among these messy things, raised his deep and clear black eyes to look at me, and replied lightly: "I can't let them wander outside."

I laughed when the communicator on his wrist rang.He walked to the cabin door and spoke in a low voice.I didn't pay much attention to it, just flipped through the sundries at will.I thought to myself that luckily before I moved to Rongshi, all the things in the old house were sold off by my grandmother and given away to others for disposal, otherwise there would not be enough room in the cabin.

It was quiet behind me, I turned my head, and he also looked at me, his expression seemed a little dazed.

I couldn't help laughing, and walked over to hug him: "Mu Xian, I'm very happy, thank you."

He was quiet for a moment, looked down at me, and said slowly, "Hua Yao, grandma just fainted and is being rescued."

***
Grandma's sudden illness was like throwing a bomb into my world.

We stayed in bed for two days.

At midnight the next day, grandma was finally out of danger.The medical experts invited by Dean Shui Tuling said that grandma had cerebral hemorrhage caused by arteriosclerosis.Although it is not life-threatening now, the brain has begun to shrink slowly.

After I cried a lot, I quickly regained my composure and stayed with my grandma every day, talking with her and making her laugh.Mu Xian has been sitting in the ward, silently accompanying us.I know that my grandma is getting old, and now she finally falls ill, which cannot be avoided.But every night when I lay in Mu Xian's arms, thinking that my grandma might suddenly cease to exist in this world and leave me forever, I would choke up uncontrollably.And Mu Xian just hugged me tightly, stared at me with those cold black eyes, and remained silent.

Mu Xian originally planned to postpone his return to Stan for one month.But on the night of the fifth day, he received an urgent call from the emperor himself—the mercenaries from Yipu City tore up the agreement and invaded the barren land again.He was given 24 hours to leave and return.

We were all surprised when the news came.There must be some special reason that made Yi Pucheng suddenly turn his face.

In the early morning of the sixth day, Mu Xian and I sat on the lawn of the nursing home.Not far away, two pilots stood quietly, waiting for him.

"One month at most." He said in a deep voice, "I will take care of everything."

"Be careful yourself, don't worry. I'm fine here." My heart felt a little sour.Grandma is in an unstable situation now, and I can't leave even one step.But suddenly wanting to separate from Mu Xian, how could he be willing.

He was silent for a moment, and then said: "If grandma's condition is stable, you should come back as soon as possible."

"Ah."

We were quiet for a while, and the atmosphere was a little dignified.I think it's probably because grandma had an accident and we were going to separate, which made the separation even more bitter and difficult.

"Okay, let's go." I smiled, "Actually, we won't be separated for a few days, so let's treat it as... Xiao Biesheng is newly married."

He glanced at me, but didn't smile, just looked at me deeply, his tone was cold and calm.

"Hua Yao, I will miss you every day."

Mu Xian only brought one fighter plane back to Stan, the other [-] fighter planes belonging to him, more than [-] direct line officers and soldiers, and Maureen Mopp, all stayed to protect me.The fleet deployed by the Empire around the solar system, at his request, left half of its troops to protect me.

***
The night was quiet, and the night Mu Xian left, I suffered from insomnia.

Grandma took the medicine and slept peacefully.I tossed and turned, and finally stood up.

The hallway was dimly lit, but the lights in the opposite room were still on, and Moppmorin was inside.Other officers and soldiers were stationed in surrounding rooms.I walked over and knocked lightly on the door.Maureen's loud voice came: "Mistress, what instructions do you have?"

The door swung open, revealing his smiling face.

I couldn't help laughing too: "It's nothing, I can't sleep."

Mo Pu also walked behind him, and both of them looked at me gently.

"Miss the commander?" Mo Lin said narrowly.

I was taken aback, and replied in a low voice: "Yes. I really want to."

They both laughed, and Mopp said, "Come in and talk."

I nodded and was about to take a step when Mo Pu suddenly turned to look towards the side of the empty corridor.

His expression was serious, and I couldn't help thinking that he had pulled me in and shouted in a deep voice, "Assemble the guards!"

As soon as the words fell, the doors of other rooms opened one after another. Most of the soldiers were disheveled, but they stood upright, holding weapons in their hands, and looked at Mo Pu.

About half a minute later, footsteps sounded in the corridor.

Orderly, steady footsteps.

I stood behind Molin Mopu, my heart was a little tense, wondering if it was an enemy with evil intentions, or someone from Yipu City?

But when he heard the footsteps, he suddenly felt strange.

wrong.

Not to mention that the entire solar system is under the control of the empire's air force, even this small sanatorium, Shui Tuling has laid down layers of defense.

How could there be an enemy coming so swaggeringly?

So...not an enemy?
Who is that?
Under our nervous gaze, a group of figures finally appeared around the corner.

The familiar dark gray military uniform, black leather boots, and a golden belt symbolizing the royal family around the waist.Everyone looks tall, straight, serious and majestic.

This is……

The emperor's personal guard?

How did they come to earth?Come pick me up?
But this is not right, Mu Xian just left.

Mo Pu and the others also put down their guns. Mo Pu signaled me to stay where I was, and he went up first: "Brigadier Lin Luo?"

I also looked at the leading man. He was a tall and strong man with a dark complexion and a good-looking appearance. He looked about thirty years old.But the expression is very serious, the corners of the mouth are tightly pursed, and it seems unreasonable.He was actually a brigadier general, with a higher rank than Mo Pu.

"Colonel Mo Pu." Lin Luo replied word by word, "This is His Majesty's warrant, please hand over Princess Huayao to us."

"What?" Mo Pu cried out, and immediately took a light blue note from Lin Luo, and looked down.

I was taken aback, Mo Lin was also dumbfounded, and the rest of the officers and soldiers also looked at each other in blank dismay.

Why did the emperor suddenly send someone to arrest me?

At this moment, Mo Pu suddenly raised his head: "Is the princess a ****? This is impossible, Your Excellency Brigadier General..."

I was horrified beyond words—******?what does that mean?Did they get it wrong?

Lin Luo looked at me calmly, and said to Mo Pu: "Colonel, you shouldn't question His Majesty's decision. Take her away."

As soon as he finished speaking, several soldiers behind him walked towards me with big strides.

"No!" Mo Pu moved to block them.

With his movement, all the soldiers on our side who had been standing still pointed their guns at the people on Brigadier General Lin Luo's side.The opponents also raised their weapons, and for a while, the muzzles of the black holes were aimed at each other, and the atmosphere was tense and stalemate.

"Colonel, are you going to disobey His Majesty's order and attack the Royal Guard?" Lin Luo's face became a little gloomy.

Mo Pu also replied coldly: "Brigadier General, I dare not disobey His Majesty's order. But I must first ask His Highness Nuoer for instructions!"

"No." Lin Luo said decisively.

"No?" Mo Pu said without fear, "Brigadier General, if these soldiers are allowed to approach and take away the princess without His Highness Noel's knowledge, are you ready to meet His Highness's wrath?"

My heart trembled suddenly.

I had always felt that just after my grandma fell ill, Mu Xian received a military order to return to Stan.It all came together, what a coincidence.

Could it be... Mu Xian was deliberately dismissed by the emperor?Maybe even... I looked up at grandma's ward—from tonight, Shui Tuling was obviously on Lin Luo's side.Is this also arranged by the empire?
A chill suddenly rose from the bottom of my heart—why did the emperor suddenly want to separate us and accuse me of being a ****?What the hell happened?

At this time, Lin Luo was silent for a moment, then turned his head and said, "You all stand down!" The royal guards beside him immediately retracted their guns and trotted away from the corridor.Mo Pu was silent for a few seconds, and said, "You also retreat."

Lin Luo glanced at me: "Princess, please stay away too."

I stood still: "No, what's going on?" Mo Pu glanced at me and said to Lin Luo: "Brigadier General, His Highness Hua Yao is still the princess of the empire. You have no right to evade her questioning." Or hide it."

Lin Luo was silent for a moment, and then said: "Colonel, I personally respect His Royal Highness Noel very much. I have also bathed in the divine light blessing at the wedding of His Royal Highness and the princess. But this matter is related to the safety of the empire."

He glanced at me, paused, and said, "That mysterious poem has drawn the emperor's attention, and I took the lead in re-investigating the princess's background. We found out a few days ago."

Lin Luo looked at me and said word by word: "Before the age of 15, Princess Huayao did not leave any trace of her life on earth."

There was a shock in my mind-what is no trace of life?
Before I could make a sound, Mo Pu sneered and said, "Brigadier General, I don't know how you came to this conclusion. But I can say for sure that you made a ridiculous mistake. Many items are now stored on the Angel. If you want traces, you can do whatever you want. I will immediately notify His Royal Highness Noel..."

But Lin Luo didn't panic at all. He stared at me and said, "I'm afraid that's not the case. We've inspected those things long before you moved them to the spaceship—there's no her fingerprints, no DNA, no her Light and shadow projection, not even her smell at all. She has never been to those places or touched those things. Mopu, you know the identification technology of the empire, even after 100 years, you can trace these traces. But We didn't find it."

Mo Pu suddenly looked up at me, but I could not understand what he was talking about?
But Lin Luo looked at us with a serious face, and continued to drop the bombshell: "Not only that, we visited all the clues provided in the background information of the princess, before the age of 15, the school she attended, the house she lived in , no one remembers seeing her. No trace of her can be extracted from any place where she is said to have lived."

My whole body froze—impossible, what was he talking about?impossible!I have lived in the town with my grandmother for 15 years, neighbors, classmates and friends, I all remember clearly...

At this time, Mo Pu spoke in a slow and heavy tone: "How is this possible? If the princess has never lived in these places, how can she have memories? Then where did she live before?"

I also looked at Lin Luo, only to find that he was staring at me with sharp eyes.

I was terrified, and I understood—he was observing my expression and reaction.

He said these words, on the one hand, to persuade Mo Pu, and on the other hand, to test my reaction?

He suspects me?suspect me of lying?

At this moment, he spoke slowly: "There is only one possibility—Princess Huayao, who only appeared on Earth when she was 15 years old. For the safety of His Royal Highness Noel, Mo Pu, you must hand over the princess to me immediately."
