Not all sadness needs tears, not all tears represent sadness, and Shangguan Pei's death made Mu Tinng's eyes red in the empty hall. From a personal point of view, he was truly alone, but from the standpoint of the country, what he lost was a general who could make the country stable and make the four seas fear him.
After spending the night with Shangguan Pei in General's Mansion, even su mianyue did not disturb their last time together. Mu Tinng walked out of the hall with a cold face. No one knew whether Mu Tinng had already let go of his brotherhood when he turned around.
Due to the excessive heat of the Tianlan, the ice coffin was barely kept for three days and showed signs of melting. Shangguan Pei's body could no longer be preserved and could only be buried. However, everything was already prepared for the funeral, so the burial was not hurried. In a graveyard that Mu Tinng had specially carved out, Shangguan Pei slept peacefully forever. Barracks asked to guard Shangguan Pei's tomb, and Wanyan Lin agreed.
In fact, with the skills of the guards trained by Shangguan Pei alone in the camp, even if they could not be generals, they could be small generals, but they volunteered to guard Shangguan Pei's grave, and they could not refuse in public or in private.
Before Shangguan Pei was buried, Su Mianyue took off his mask and put it on his pillow with his own hands. He said, "Rest in peace. I will be fine, and you will... Be fine. I will go to him for the last time. You will protect me from finding him, right?"
The last time they met, Su Mianyue stared at Shangguan Pei's handsome face for a full minute, and then he held a handful of earth to cover Shangguan Pei's coffin. At this moment, many of the guards knew what Shangguan Pei was like and would always remember his face.
Shangguan Pei's death was undoubtedly a huge wave in the court. The court officials argued every day about who should take over Shangguan Pei's position. In the end, the military power was temporarily controlled by Mu Tinng.
The existence of the captive Wanyan Lin was the focus of the civil and military discussions in the manchu dynasty. Some proposed to release Wanyan Lin and negotiate with him. Some asked the Hengyuan to pay for the redemption of Wanyan Lin. Some also thought that Wanyan Lin should be imprisoned to deter the countries.
Su Mianyue knew one or two things about the court, but she didn't participate. This was the Tianlan, and she was just a person in the world.
But before he left, Su Mianyue still went to see Wanyan Lin once, which was the end of the hatred. Revenge on a man like Wanyan Lin made his life worse than death, far more than killing him.
"Finally willing to meet me?" Wanyan Lin was still wearing the same clothes as when he was captured, but his armor had been removed and his limbs were chained.
Su Mianyue raised his calm eyes and looked at Wanyan Lin indifferently. It took a long time before he said, "I came to see you for Shangguan Pei. He's in peace now, but you're worse off dead than alive. I think he can smile."
"Does a man who wears a mask and doesn't dare to show his true face make your heart beat?" Wanyan Lin glared at Su Mianyue angrily, as if he could rush up and bite her artery.
"He only wears a mask on his face, but you put a mask on your heart." Su Mianyue spoke with disdain. Seeing the anger on Wanyan Lin's face getting worse, he shook his head helplessly, "Don't say those words that you don't believe to deceive me. I can still say that I'm ignorant after being deceived by you once. And being deceived by you for the second time is too stupid to be cured. Do you think I would like to be deceived by you for the second time?"
"Don't you want to know where I hid Xuezhu's body? She ended up like that just to save you. Don't you feel guilty at all?" Wanyan Lin suddenly changed the subject and looked at Su Mianyue gloomily.
Hearing Xuezhu's name, Su Mianyue felt a pain in his heart, then shook his head and smiled, "If you knew, you would rather die in the wilderness than have anything to do with you. Even if I couldn't find her, you wouldn't be able to do any more harm to her, would you? Wanyan Lin, you should know how much Xuezhu hates you. Now you want to use her body to threaten me to save you. Do you think that's possible?"
Wanyan Lin was speechless for a moment when he did not expect Su Mianyue to answer like that.
Looking at the handsome face that had once been engraved in his heart, but now there was only a sense of boredom, Su Mianyue had nothing to say and was ready to turn around and leave, but Wanyan Lin hurriedly shouted, "Have you forgotten how you left here? In order to save you, I have lost so many of my confidants, and even once was crippled despite my own serious injury. Do you really have the heart to watch me imprisoned here? Is this your reward for me?"
Stopping, Su Mianyue slowly turned around and looked at Wanyan Lin as if he were crazy.
There was an incredulity in his eyes, but then he replied indifferently, "Wanyan Lin, don't you think you're pathetic, pitiful, and shameful? No matter what purpose you had when you saved me, I thought I had helped you a lot, but you have repeatedly poisoned my family and friends, and even ruined my life to achieve your selfishness. We are now at peace, and I no longer seek revenge because you are so embarrassed that I have no desire to revenge. But the so-called kindness is just a joke. How big of a face do you have to have the courage to say that?"
Su Mianyue really wanted to ask Wanyan Lin, "Are you the legendary second skin?"
But su mianyue really didn't want to be entangled with such a shameless person, because it turned out that Wanyan Lin was definitely not only a second skin, he was probably the most shameless person in the world.
Shaking her head, she saw that Wanyan Lin did not understand her situation at all, and that Su Mianyue's purpose had been achieved. She was relieved to see that he was not doing well. No matter how Wanyan Lin called her name, or even cursed and prayed, Su Mianyue walked out of the palace completely ignoring him.
Without saying goodbye to Mu Tinng, Su Mianyue went out of the capital overnight with the jade pendant that Mu Tinng had given her. Su Mianyue received a secret report on the eve of Shangguan Pei's burial, and someone suspected of Ji Xun appeared.
Su Mianyue just wanted to rush to the town without stopping, to tell Ji Xun how worried she was about him, how much she regretted the impulsiveness that had implicated him, and to ask him if he had changed his mind after a hundred days.
Su Mianyue did not know that when she left the palace, a bright yellow figure had been standing in the clock tower staring at her back, but did not go up to disturb her.
"Mianyue, even ze zhi has a place in your heart, but I don't even have a place in your heart?" Mu Tinng asked softly, but the slender figure was far away and could not hear his words.
Holding the warm jade carving in his hand, since Su Mianyue faked his death and left, Mu Tinng had always brought this warm jade to his side. Only it could warm his heart, making him feel that the woman who was willing to love him with her life had never left.
But if you miss it, you miss it. It's not like you can make things right by being aware of your mistakes.
The night wind blew Mu Tinng's long hair, and it was not until Su Mianyue's back disappeared into the night for a long time that Mu Tinng turned to look in the direction of Orchid Palace and said coldly: "Wanyan Lin, you have her but you don't know how to cherish her. You hurt her even more than I did. You still don't know how to reflect on yourself. What can I do to make you regret it?"
