Fuan Courtyard.
"What …" The first lady had just finished a bowl of birth control medicine when she heard Lian Fu's explanation that she was about to set off for the mountain customs the next morning. "You're really leaving."
"Yes, mother." Lian Meng nodded and said.
Although she was not her biological son, she had long since considered Lian Fu to be her biological son. Now that he suddenly mentioned that they were going to leave Shanhai City, she was momentarily reluctant to part with him, so she could not help but shed tears.
"Yi'er, if you go like this, when will you come back?"
Lian Fu smiled and held the first wife's hand. "Mother, don't worry too much. Yi'er won't be gone for long. He'll be back soon."
When a child grows up, he will always have his own thoughts. As a mother, he can't be left behind either." "The first lady turned around and took out a talisman, which she hung around Lian Fang's neck." I went to ask for this from Jiuhua Temple two days ago, and begged two of them in total, one for you and one for your sister. Originally I wanted to give it to you two together after a few days, but now you're leaving, take it, wear it, don't take it off.
Lian Fu lowered his head to look at the amulet in front of his chest. His heart was moved as he stuffed it into his pocket. He nodded and said, "Yes, mother. Yi'er will wear it all the way. He won't take it off. I'll leave early tomorrow morning, and then I won't disturb my mother's rest, so I'll take my leave of my mother. "
The first wife looked at the child in front of her and gently pulled him into her embrace. "Take care of yourself for now."
"Mother, it's time for me to leave. I haven't packed my luggage yet." When Lian Fu reached the door, he suddenly stopped. His back looked lonely under the candlelight. He slowly turned his head and looked at the first wife's benevolent face. "Mother, thank you."
When the first wife heard this, her heart suddenly skipped a beat — —
He then turned around and left in a hurry.
"Zhou mama, Zhou mama …" The first wife was a bit nervous. She held the embroidered handkerchief tightly and asked, "Did Yi'er know something?"
Senior Servant Zhou rushed over and closed the door. She said in a low voice, "Madam, don't let your imagination run wild. It can't be. How would the young master know?"
"No." "Do you remember one day when you and I were talking about that child, a black shadow ran away from the window, and I became more and more convinced that that person was Yi'er. He heard what the two of us said?"
Senior Servant Zhou gave a start. "Madam, you say that it really does look like a young master."
"Also, that day at the birthday banquet, Shiya said that he liked Yue'er and wrote poems for her. Later on, the Eleventh Princess came out and said that 'Yue' was her, but I still felt that it wasn't, 'Yue' is our Yue'er. Although Yue'er isn't my biological son, she was raised by me, and his eyes couldn't fool me …" The first lady said with a trembling voice.
"Could it be that young master wants to join the army because of this?" Zhou mama's heart tightened as she asked.
"If so, Yi'er would be too pitiful. He clearly likes a person, but he can't like him openly or even express his feelings. I've let him down, I've let him down."
After Lian Meng left Fu An's courtyard, he slowly walked along the winding corridor.
The sky was dark, the moon hung high in the sky, and unknown insects were chirping. The moonlight wrapped around his tall and straight body, and he unknowingly walked to the bridge across the Immortal Lotus Courtyard. Separated by a pond, he stared into the courtyard …
The red lanterns outside the gate flickered with a slow and leisurely light. Many times, he would hold the delicacies in his hands and sit under the red lanterns, waiting for that person. He watched her happily eat the food he had prepared, eating so happily.
He looked at it for a long time. Suddenly, he felt an unexplained pain in his chest, as if someone was tightly clutching his heart. The pain caused his body to stagger.
"It hurts …"
He leaned against the bridge as his body slowly slid down. Finally, he leaned against the bridge as he sat on the ground. He tightly held his chest before turning around to look …
The lantern at the entrance of the Immortal Lotus had already been extinguished and nothing could be seen anymore.
The next day at dawn, without notifying anyone, he carried his travel bag on his back and hurriedly left the Prime Minister's Residence. He arrived at the academy without realizing it, and 49 followed behind him, looking sadly at his back.
Lian Fang stood under the jujube tree and raised his head to look at the green jujube above him. The scenery in front of him slowly blurred, then changed back to last year's, when he and his sister were fighting and eating the jujube here …
"Sister, I've thought it through, I don't want to be the son of the prime minister, I want to become famous, I want to be a person who cannot hurt anyone, I want to be someone who can do my best to protect sister, I don't want sister to fight alone, I want no one to be able to threaten sister, no matter who it is, there is only one ending to harming sister, and that is death." Under the jujube tree, the youth's eyes were clear and determined.
"Tactics …" When her elder sister heard this, she stopped eating dates …
"No, Yi'er, sister has never fought alone. I have you." Lian Ruyue's eyes were filled with mist. She raised her hand and caressed Lian Fu's face as she softly said.
Lian Fu's lips trembled. He raised his hand to cover Lian Yue's hand and said: "Big sister, I'm not talking about fun. Just you wait. Ji'er will definitely make you proud."
Lian Ruyue nodded: "Of course I believe in the Dharma Idol."
The youth had made the most important promise in his life here, and it would be carved into his heart for the rest of his life.
As he was walking out of the academy, Lian Fang suddenly stopped and asked, "Elder sister, will you be coming here next year to play dates with me?"
Lian Ruyue brightly smiled: "Of course I will, Yi'er."
"Then... "What about the year after next? Are you still coming?"
"Of course. I come here every year to play dates with Yi'er. Even if I forget about him, I won't forget him, okay?"
"No, I will not forget. I will never forget this jujube tree."
Yes, I will never forget this jujube tree, sister.
"Young master …" 49 understood what was going on, he called out softly.
When he recalled his memories, he climbed up the jujube tree and quickly picked a basket of fresh dates. Then he jumped off the tree and hung the basket on the branch. The basket was swaying on top of the basket.
"I'm leaving, four or nine!" He no longer hesitated and decisively turned around. He walked out of the academy. There was a group of vigorous white horses waiting for him outside. He quickly jumped onto them.
"Young Master, bring me along!" Nine ran over and stood under the horse. He raised his head and looked at his young master with tears in his eyes, "Nine can take care of young master along the way."
Lian Meng smiled. He took off an eggplant bag from his waist and threw it into the arms of 49: "Go back."
As he spoke, he raised the whip high above his head and whipped it. The horse raised its front hooves high and ran forward like a gust of wind, getting further and further away until it was almost out of sight.
"Young master, young master, be careful. I've been waiting for your triumphant return, waiting for you to become a mighty general …" 49 cried and chased after him, but in the end, he couldn't catch up. He stood where he was, slowly lowered his head, opened the bag of eggplant that Lian Fu gave him and saw that inside was a stack of silver notes. He immediately sat on the ground and cried like a child, "Young Master, you are the best person in the world."
"…" At this moment, a figure appeared in front of him. He was stunned and raised his head. When he saw the person in front of him, he was overjoyed. He wiped away his tears and stood up —
"Eldest Miss, Eldest Miss, you're here? Young Master just left, he's been waiting for you, he thought you wouldn't come, he thought you forgot your promise, so he left in disappointment, Eldest Miss, wait, I'll go chase Young Master … Young Master, the young miss is here! "
49 shouted loudly towards the direction of the direction of the leaving hand seals.
"No need to shout." However, Lian Ruyue stopped him.
"…" 49 was startled and slowly turned around.
"I came here a long time ago. Merely, I did not meet with him." Lian Ruyue's face was still the same as before. It was cold and detached, and she didn't seem to have any expression.
49 – 90 suddenly thought of something. He quickly turned around and ran into the academy. He took off the basket on top of the tree from the [Conjuration Mantra] and brought it in front of Lian Xiyue. He said:
"Eldest Miss, Young Master just picked it. It's big and fresh, try it."
Lian Ruyue looked at the basket full of dates. She picked one up, wiped it with a handkerchief, put it in her mouth and took a bite — —
The jujube juice flowed into his mouth. It was very fragrant and sweet, but for some reason, it tasted somewhat bitter.
She finished a jujube and said to the fourth and ninth people, "Do you want to leave the Prime Minister's Palace, or stay?"
When Fourth or Ninth heard this, he hurriedly put down his basket, knelt in front of Lian Ruyue, and said, "Eldest Miss, Fourth or Ninth is going to stay at the mansion and wait for Young Master to come back."
"Alright then. You can stay here and guard the Wen Hua Institution." Lian Ruyue nodded and said.
"Eldest Miss Xie!" Fourth or Ninth hurriedly kowtowed.
Lian Ruyue bent down and picked up a basket of dates. She turned around and walked in the direction of the Prime Minister's Estate. With the dates in her hand, it was heavy, just like her mood.
"Eldest Miss, according to your order, we have arranged reliable assassins to protect Young Master Tou along the way, until he arrived safely at the mountain customs, to meet up with Master Four (Fourth Brother of the Lian Family). These assassins all have extraordinary skills, they are all here to protect the Ninth Prince, you can rest assured, Eldest Miss."
Leng Mei walked over and said.
Lian Xiyue nodded and said, "Yes, I'm afraid that Xu Xianfei won't let him off and will make use of the distance to kill him. That's why she asked the Ninth Prince to send someone to protect him."
"Eldest Miss has been truly painstaking towards Young Master." Qing Dai, who was at the side, said as she wiped away the tears at the corner of her eyes.
Lian Ruyue pursed her lips in silence.
"It seems that the Lian Clan is going to produce a fierce general." At this moment, a cold voice came from the front.
Lian Rou Yue was slightly startled. When she raised her head, she saw that Feng Qianyue was standing in front of her.
