From afar, it looked like a light layer of snow. Yue Luoxue leaned on a rock by the river and fell asleep, the corners of her mouth raised in a faint arc, as if she was having a beautiful dream.
When Tuoba Hong had found her with a worried and haggard face, he had seen Yue Luoxue in such a state. Only the heavens knew how scared he was when he saw those corpses last night.
Seeing that Yue Luoxue was sleeping soundly, Tuoba Hong did not plan to call her, but only took off his outer robe and planned to cover her with it.
The moment the clothes landed on Yue Luoxue's body, Yue Luoxue opened her eyes in a bit of a daze. Without even saying a word, she had clearly seen that the person in front of her was not Young Master Rong, but Tuoba Hong.
"Tuoba Hong? Why are you here? "
Tuoba Hong could clearly hear the word "appearance", and he could not help but let out a bitter laugh. Was the smile she wore earlier because she had dreamt of Nalan Rongxuan? At least the current Tuoba Hong would not think that the person Yue Luoxue wanted to say "Young Master Rong", and not "Rongxuan".
"You didn't go back very late last night, so I'm worried about coming out to take a look."
Yue Luoxue replied with an "oh", and looked around: "When you came over, did you see anyone?"
"You mean the bodies? I've already sent people to find out who it belongs to. " Tuoba Hong thought that Yue Luoxue was referring to the assassin, so she did not think much about it.
Yue Luoxue lowered her eyes slightly, feeling a little disappointed in her heart. When Young Master Rong left, she even suspected that he hadn't returned since last night. Everything that happened afterwards was just a dream on her part.
She remembered that Young Master Rong had hugged her, and even kissed her! She didn't know anything else until she woke up.
"What's wrong?" Seeing Yue Luoxue not speak for a long time, Tuoba Hong could not help but ask.
Yue Luoxue suppressed the question in her mind and laughed: "I'm fine, I'm just thinking about who I was yesterday." As she spoke, he stood up and looked at the scene before him. She could not help but exclaim, "How beautiful!"
"If you like it, you can enjoy it for the rest of your life." Tuoba Hong stood by her side, and even though he knew that there was already someone in her heart, he still enjoyed this kind of feeling.
Mo Shanghua and the Grandpa Mo were normal, which meant that she was the target of the investigation last night. Not long after they returned to the Duke Palaces, the results of their investigation were sent over.
Her and Tuoba Hong's research results were the same. The person who killed her was a hired killer, but the employer was smart, handling everything flawlessly, there were no clues at all.
Tuoba Hong was a little apologetic. He had said before that with him here, Yue Luoxue would not be harmed in the slightest, yet she was ambushed: "Luoxue, I will definitely find out who the mastermind is."
"Mm, since he wants my life, he will definitely take action." Yue Luoxue frowned slightly. She initially thought that it was Liu Chengfeng, but from the information that Qing Huan had sent over, Liu Chengfeng might not have anything to do with this matter.
If it wasn't Liu Chengfeng, who else would be so extreme as to take her life? Especially with regards to North Qi, she really couldn't think of anyone she had offended. Her current identity was only that of a physician treating Tuoba Yu, unless someone found out her identity!
"Luoxue, don't worry. As long as I'm here, I won't let anyone hurt you unless I'm dead!" Tuoba Hong suddenly said solemnly.
Yue Luoxue was startled. This oath was too heavy, to the point where she felt that she couldn't afford it. She wanted to squeeze out a smile, but the stubborn and serious look in her eyes made her unable to hide herself.
Tuoba Hong smiled slightly. Battle Princess was actually correct, Tuoba Hong and his father were the same type of people, able to do anything for the people they knew.
"That's right, come over here for a while. Yu Er should have finished her medicine by now. I've made some new ones for her, you should go take a look at her when you have the time." Yue Luoxue changed the topic and turned to walk back into the house. In a moment she was back with a box.
Tuoba Hong received it with a smile: "The last time I went to see Yu Er, she even asked me why didn't you go.
Yue Luoxue thought about it, she had a good impression of that weak and kind girl, so she nodded her head: "Alright, I will also check Yu'er's body."
Tuoba Yu and War Princess were arranged to be in a small mountain village that was hundreds of miles away from Ardent Sun City. There was an even more northern part of the village.
The mountain village was very quiet. The two of them walked into a small, clean courtyard. Tuoba Yu was wearing a fiery red fox fur coat and had his head lowered as she fiddled with something. When she raised his head and saw that it was Tuoba Hong and Yue Luoxue, surprise flashed across her small face.
"Sister Xue, you finally came to see me!"
"Yu'er, slow down. Be careful of your body!" The Battle Princess came out of her room with a bowl of medicine and shouted anxiously.
Moonfall Snow sized her up. Battle Princess wore a purplish-red robe. Although the fabric was not bad, her appearance was ordinary. Compared to the last time she saw her, she looked a bit more lively.
"Hehe, mother, I miss Sister Xue so much!"
Tuoba Hong lovingly pointed at Tuoba Yu's nose and said, "You demon, I promised you before to bring Luoxue to see you, but you're still worried."
Battle Princess brought the medicine over and said to Tuoba Yu softly, "Yu'er, drink the medicine. Didn't you want to quickly recover and have your brother bring you to ride?"
Tuoba Yu very obediently received the medicine, and gulped it down in a breath, after which she frowned her little face: "Sister Xue, can you not prescribe the medicine for me so hard next time, it's really hard to drink."
"Good medicine is hard to come by!" "Miss Luo, thank you very much. Your medicine is very effective, and Yu Er's body is much better now than before." Battle Princess smiled gently at Yue Luoxue.
Yue Luoxue hurried to say: "Princess is too courteous."
"Don't call me consort anymore, call me aunt Fang from now on. Ever since I came here, I've thought through a lot of things, and was too involved in other times, and neglected these two children. It's a good thing that Hong'er is doing well, and in the days to come, I'll think of Yu'er as better and live a peaceful life with them."
The wangfei seemed to have completely let go of the knot in her heart as a gentle aura of motherly love emanated from her body.
Tuoba Yu, who was at the side, heard this and also happily said, "And royal father … Father, Sister Xue, is father feeling better now? I miss him too. "
When Tuoba Yu came out, she was asleep and did not know that they were sent away using a disguise. She only thought that it was to think of her illness and came out to recuperate.
Of course, she didn't know that the Battle-King was already "dead" and that Tuoba Hong was now the new Battle-King. Although the Battle King and she were never close, Tuoba Yu was very concerned about the Battle-King and was afraid that she wouldn't be able to take the news of the Battle-King's "death".
Yue Luoxue smiled slightly, extended his hand and held Tuoba Yu's hand. As she checked her pulse, she said: "Mn, so what Yu'er needs to do now is to take care of her own body."
Tuoba Yu smiled sweetly: "Alright, Big Sister Xue, can I go out and play around now? You and big brother will accompany me. "
A pair of clear blue eyes blinked at Yue Luoxue. It was cute and bright, causing Yue Luoxue to be unable to reject it even if she wanted to. In the end, she nodded her head: "Alright, but you can't go too far. You have to listen to me as well."
"Alright, alright! I know a place where it's fun! " Tuoba Yu almost broke into a happy smile as she blinked her eyes at Tuoba Hong. Brother, I'm helping you now, make good use of the chance!
"Yu'er, be careful. What exactly is here?" Yue Luoxue pulled Tuoba Yu's hand, looked at her bright red face and shook her head. Tuoba Yu's body had indeed recovered a lot, but climbing the mountain had still used up a lot of energy.
Tuoba Yu pointed to the front as if she was afraid that Yue Luoxue wouldn't go, "Sister Xue, we're almost there."
After turning a corner, Yue Luoxue found out what Tuoba Yu meant by that was funny. It was actually a Wishing Tree, or to be more exact, there were two of them, and from the very roots, they were simply intertwined and could not be distinguished between each other. It was only until they had grown into a towering tree that some red ribbons fluttered on the tree, and some of them had already lost their former brilliance even after being exposed to the wind and sun.
This kind of Wishing Tree symbolizes love. There are some in many places, but behind the Wishing Tree, there is always a sad love story.
Tuoba Yu smiled sweetly: "My neighbor Big Sister Tu Ya told me this. It is said that she is very intelligent, and Big Sister Tu Ya only married the man she likes because she worshipped the Wishing Tree here."
Yue Luoxue pinched Tuoba Yu's nose: "What, Xiao Yu'er wants to get married? Tuoba Hong, you better prepare a dowry for your sister! "
"If I want to marry someone, I have to wait for brother to marry sister-in-law first! "Big brother, since you're here, why don't you go say goodbye." Tuoba Yu looked at Tuoba Hong. She heard from Tu Ya that bringing the one she loved would make her feel even better.
Tuoba Hong also understood his sister's intentions, and smiled dotingly: "Since we're here, why don't we all pay our respects?"
"Alright, alright. Look, I've even prepared a ribbon!" Tuoba Yu took out three red ribbons from her bosom.
No matter how foolish Yue Luoxue was, she knew what this lass was planning, but he did not stop her enthusiasm. She extended his hand and grabbed a ribbon back, "I think it's not bad too.
Tuoba Yu then picked a tree branch facing the south, and tied up the ribbon. With Tuoba Hong's help, Tuoba Yu also tied up the ribbon, and then the three of them clasped their hands together and made a wish.
Tuoba Hong glanced at Yue Luoxue and saw that she had his eyes closed with a pious expression. Tuoba Hong's heart moved and began to make wishes.
"Sister Xue, what wish did you make?" Tuoba Yu leaned in close to Yue Luoxue and asked.
Yue Luoxue laughed: "You can't say this, it won't work if you say it out loud!"
"Big brother!" Sister Xue is bullying me again! " The three of them left while talking and laughing. The mountain breeze blew past them, causing the ribbon on the tree to float in the wind. Suddenly, a white figure landed on the Wishing Tree.
With a flip of her slender white hand, a red ribbon appeared in her hand, and then, she was tied to the ribbon that Yue Luoxue had tied. Another gust of wind blew past, and the figure on the tree had already disappeared.
