Qi Mo had only chatted with us for a short while before he was brought back by a servant. It seems that the moment a problem arose in a shop under his name, it would wait for him to settle it.
Both of us had a restless personality, but today, the two of us rarely made any noise. Instead, we quietly basked in the sunlight and chatted about sisters in the garden.
"Yanyue, how is the matter between you and the young prince?" I half-closed my eyes, bathed in the sun, feeling my whole body go numb and comfortable.
He had just returned home the day before yesterday. Originally, he wanted to stay for a few more days, but something seemed to have happened in the palace and he was recalled by Legend. Before he left, he promised that if he settled the matter, he would come and propose marriage. As she spoke, her face flushed red.
You guys have only known each other for a short period of time, and have already been betrothed to someone else. You're betrothed to someone like that, Yanyue, no matter how much you like him, you have to observe him first, the marriage is not a child's play, think about it, the future emperor is the daughter of the minister of the Xia Rong Country, if you choose to marry him, you have to go to another place far away. If he suddenly changes his mind, what about you, Baili Lianer is the best example, don't be impulsive. My face was full of worry. All of my tiredness had been swept away. Looking at her, she seemed to have fallen in love with me, making me even more worried.
I also know that he may become the emperor in the future, and it is inevitable that there will be groups of concubines. I also think that my character might not be able to adapt to such a virtuous situation, but when I think about how I can't marry him, how he will marry someone else, I feel very uncomfortable in my heart. As she spoke, her face was filled with sorrow.
"I really don't know if my advice to you was correct before, but I suddenly felt that I should have sworn to make you and fifth brother stay together. That way, you would be my sister-in-law, and we would be a family," I said dejectedly.
In the past few days, I've thought about it a lot, and I've also realized that my feelings towards your fifth brother are more of worship and admiration. Because of the beauty of my childhood, I've always kept it in my heart, and it's hard for me to forget it, but your fifth brother is an unattainable dream for me. I can't enter his world, so letting go of him is the best way. As she spoke, her face was filled with a happy smile.
Looking at her blissful appearance, I thought that the result wouldn't be too bad. After all, the little prince is a pretty good man, right and wrong are clearly distinct, and he is also friendly and meticulous towards people. He has seen and experienced how she loves me, and he won't be a reclusive person in the future.
"Yu Xing, I will definitely be happy. Don't worry, if he makes me unhappy, I will come back to the Xia Rong Country. I am not a person who will suffer a loss, so you can rest assured." She gave me a reassuring smile, and I looked at my first and best friend since coming to this world, holding her hand.
"You must be happy."
"You too."
The two of us looked at each other and smiled. Both of us had beautiful expectations for the future. The future would definitely be beautiful, so, I must work hard to live longer.
We chatted for a long time, and she told me a lot of interesting things that happened in the past two days. There was some official who went to a brothel, did not return home during the night, was chased and killed by his wife, a tigress with a kitchen knife, and so on.
She stayed there very late. It was strange that Bai Jing didn't come back after leaving for an entire day. I felt uneasy in my heart.
After seeing her off, the uneasy feeling I had when I was alone in the room became even more intense. I clutched at my chest. My heart was racing and I could feel my right eyelid twitch a few times.
Outside, the wind started to blow in all directions. The sound of the falling leaves was as loud as the roar of a man-eating monster. I felt a chill run down my spine.
After a while, the wind stopped, but I suddenly felt that something was wrong. The atmosphere was too weird, the silence was too weird, I couldn't help but take out a sword from the side, holding it in my hand and staring at the door. At that moment, I heard a scream coming from outside, "There's an assassin."
A shadow flashed outside, and after a moment's hesitation I went after it.
Everyone was holding a large blade in their hands, emitting a gloomy and cold aura under the moonlight. I looked at them, and they were also looking at me. I could see the killing intent in their eyes, it seemed that they wanted to kill me.
"Who are you people?" You dare to barge into the Jing King Manor at night? " I stared at them, killing intent in my eyes.
Someone offered a high price to take your head, but you met us and got unlucky. Everyone said that the Jing King Manor was well-fortified, but it seems that it was only a rumor, and we didn't even fall down before we reached the inner courtyard. The leader of the men in black said, his tone and eyes full of contempt.
"That depends on whether you have the ability or not, but I'm more curious about who bought the murder. Even if you want me to die, you have to let me have a debt in the future. You have to know who to look for after turning into an evil ghost, right?" I deliberately let a trace of De fear show in my eyes.
"We are all men who lick blood on the blade. We would be afraid of those non-existent things. If there really was a ghost, then Dodd would have already been eaten by those devils and would have died a horrible death." The leader said indifferently, causing the group of people behind him to chuckle.
"But seeing how pretty you are, isn't it a pity to just kill you like this? Why don't you let me play with you and let you enjoy the pleasure of being a woman before you die?" The man said again, in a lewd tone, and his eyes were lustful.
