I fulfilled the female supporting role's wish and I succeeded

Chapter 329: Mo Yu Yun Tian (33)

Seeing Xiao Heng's family immersed in the joy of reunion, Su Luo quietly withdrew. She gently closed the door, isolating the clamor inside and leaving them with their own space.

In the courtyard of the post station, people came and went, some carrying luggage, some preparing horses, and shouts came one after another. Everyone's face was filled with relief and joy at being about to return home.

This joy infected her, and Su Luo felt that the tense heartstrings of the past few days finally relaxed a little.

"Tomorrow, we can set off to return to Yan State." Su Luo muttered to himself, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised a slight arc.

Princess Wanning's fate had been completely changed, and she would never repeat the same mistakes again. She could finally put her worries to rest. As for Daiguo, what kind of headaches would the man sitting on the throne have? She was looking forward to it.

Su Luo walked to a pavilion and sat down. She picked up the teacup that had been prepared on the stone table and took a sip. The tea was slightly cold and had a slight bitter taste, but it cleared her confused mind a little.

She stared at the bustling scene in the courtyard, lost in thought. Though she was in the bustle of the place, she felt strangely alienated, as if she didn't fit in with the clamor of the world. This feeling left her feeling bewildered and at a loss.

After days of running around and planning, her physical fatigue gradually set in, making her feel empty inside, as if she was missing something important.

"Princess, why are you drinking herbal tea here alone?" A crisp voice came, interrupting Su Luo's thoughts.

Su Luo looked up and saw Song Lan coming towards her hurriedly with a pot of hot tea. She took away the cold tea in front of her and replaced it with freshly brewed hot tea.

"You, you never take care of your body! Be careful of stomachache if you drink too much of this herbal tea!" Song Lan kept muttering while pouring tea.

Su Luo smiled helplessly: "I understand, Aunt Songlan."

Song Lan glared at her: "I'm glad to know! You are the Princess Zhaoyang of our Yan State. Your body is so precious that you can't let anything go wrong! Otherwise..." She suddenly lowered her voice and approached Su Luo mysteriously, "Otherwise, some people will be heartbroken!"

Su Luo's cheeks flushed slightly, and he scolded, "Song Lan! You're talking nonsense again!"

Song Lan giggled and pushed a cup of hot tea in front of Su Luo: "Princess, please drink it while it's hot. This tea, but I specially added your favorite osmanthus flowers, it warms the stomach and refreshes the mind!"

Su Luo picked up the teacup, and warmth spread through her fingertips, dispelling the inexplicable emptiness. She sniffed the tea, the sweet fragrance of osmanthus refreshing, and suddenly felt that the courtyard of this post station didn't seem so out of place.

"Princess, what are you thinking about? Why are you so absent-minded?" Song Lan asked curiously.

Su Luo came back to his senses and smiled slightly: "I was thinking about what the first thing to do after returning to Yan State is."

"Needless to say, of course I should have a good rest for a few days!" Song Lan answered without thinking.

Su Luo shook his head, a sly look flashing in his eyes: "No, I want to go to the imperial kitchen first and try all the delicacies of Yan State!"

Song Lan was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing: "Princess, you... are really different!"

"elder sister."

A familiar voice, with a barely perceptible tremor, rang in my ears.

Su Luo was slightly startled. He looked up and saw Xiao Heng standing outside the pavilion, a lingering worry between his brows. He strode towards them, his steps revealing anxiety.

He had just finished reminiscing with his parents, but his heart was still hanging, unable to rest for a moment. He hurried out to look for Su Luo, but found her sitting alone in the pavilion, her figure thin, her eyebrows downcast, as if she was troubled by endless worries.

Her eyes were as empty as a deep pool, with no bottom in sight, as if in the next moment she would turn into a gust of wind and disappear in the world.

Xiao Heng's heart suddenly sank, as if being gripped by an invisible hand. The pain was so severe that he could hardly breathe. He didn't even bother with etiquette, but took a few steps forward and hugged Su Luo tightly in his arms.

"Sister, what are you thinking about?" Xiao Heng's voice trembled uncontrollably, like a child afraid of losing a treasure. "Don't abandon me, okay?"

The sudden hug, with its familiar warmth, pulled Su Luo back from his chaotic thoughts.

She felt Xiao Heng's body tremble slightly, and the tightness made it almost impossible for her to breathe. Listening to his almost pleading voice, Su Luo's heart felt as if it had been soaked in warm water, and it softened incredibly.

"Silly boy, how could I leave you?" Su Luo's voice was soft, with a hint of comfort. She reached out and hugged Xiao Heng back, gently patting his back, feeling his heartbeat gradually steady.

"I'm fine, just a little tired." Su Luo explained, his voice unconsciously softening. "Why did you come out? Why don't you stay with General Xiao for a while?"

Xiao Heng buried his head in the crook of Su Luo's neck and took a deep breath, as if only in this way could he confirm her existence. He said sullenly, "They have each other to keep them company, but I... only have my sister."

Su Luo's heart trembled when she heard this, and a warm feeling surged in her heart. She tilted her head slightly, rubbed her cheek against Xiao Heng's hair, and whispered, "Me too."

Song Lan stood aside, looking at the affectionate couple, and tactfully retreated with the teapot, laughing secretly in her heart: It seems that the good news between the princess and Mr. Xiao is not far away!

She had to hurry and prepare. She couldn't neglect her future husband! However, this Mr. Xiao was too clingy, like a child who hadn't been weaned. The princess would have a lot to worry about in the future! Alas, what a sweet burden!

Thinking of this, Song Lan's lips curled up unconsciously, and her steps became lighter. She had to tell the kitchen to prepare more nourishing soups and water. The princess had been exhausted these past few days and needed to be well nourished! And Master Xiao, judging by his nervous expression, he was probably exhausted too, and needed to be well nourished too!

Xiao Heng buried his head in Su Luo's neck, took a deep breath, and said muffledly: "They asked me to come out to find you, saying that they have something to tell you."

"Oh? What?" Su Luo was a little curious.

Xiao Heng raised his head and looked at Su Luo with a hint of hesitation in his eyes: "They... want to thank you."

Su Luo was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Why thank me? We are family, so we should keep our differences."

"Thank you for your care and guidance over the years." Xiao Heng's voice was low, with a little imperceptible sob.
