After returning to his residence, he immediately headed to his room.
The moment the door was opened, the water that was used for eating fell back onto the bed.
"Stop pretending, it's me." The sound of Night Emperor Shang's voice rang out, and water trickled out of his head as he blinked. Only after seeing that it was indeed the Night Emperor, did he heave a sigh of relief.
"What's going on outside? "What's going on?"
Shui Yuehan asked nervously.
"The emperor has already agreed to let you wake up before heading to the main hall. As for when you wake up, that will depend on the crown prince and his circumstances." Emperor Shang looked at Shui Ruo and laughed.
"Is that so? Right, the people from Shui Family, you know them."
"They seem to be protected by the orders of Emperor Shang. That guy is truly outrageous. He can't even spy on me. He's tightly guarded. Just be at ease."
Emperor Shang looked at Shui Ruo and said indifferently.
Shui Ruo listened attentively, then felt completely at ease.
Since her family was fine, she didn't need to worry about her future. What she needed to do next was to be strong.
"Relax?" Seeing the carefree expression on Shui's face, Night Emperor Shang couldn't help but laugh.
"Hm, don't worry." Water nodded his head.
"Then, can I ask you to come with me?" Emperor Shang looked at Shui Ruo and invited him.
"Where to?"
"To listen to the zither."
"Isn't it fine just by staying here?" The water flowed slowly, not understanding.
Hearing that, Ye Huangpu smiled mysteriously. "That is a place that no one knows about, and the one playing the zither is also not me. That man is the one who might be able to save you. As long as you have a way to get him to come out. "
"Really?" Shui Yuehan was skeptical.
"Why would I lie to you?" Night Emperor Shang's face was full of smiles.
"You always lie to me." Shui Ruo rolled her eyes at him.
Hearing this, Night Emperor Shang somewhat helplessly rubbed his nose, and then said, "Anyways, you're bored staying here, so why don't you come with me?"
"What if someone came to check on me at this time of the day?" Shui Long asked worriedly.
"Don't worry, I naturally have my own arrangements." Emperor Shang indicated for Shui to be calm.
Seeing that he had already said all this, Shui Long could only nod his head in agreement. Seeing Shui Long agree, Night Emperor Shang finally revealed a happy expression.
"Then, come with me."
As Nighttime spoke, he extended his hand.
It had to be said that the recent Night Emperor Shang had become much more stable. He didn't know if it was because of what he had done to her that made him feel that something was amiss. In other words, he was scheming against something else.
In short, this steadiness made Shui Ruo especially worried.
People don't change that easily, especially the Night Emperor Shang.
However, no matter how worried he was, Shui Long still followed Night Emperor Shang.
The carriage was parked in the courtyard, and they didn't even leave the mansion.
Only after they got on the carriage did they leave the palace. Behind this carriage were seven other carriages.
"Is he afraid of being followed?" Shui began to laugh leisurely. She really couldn't help herself now.
"Although the possibility isn't high, it's still best to be careful. The empress should be hoping to find some clues by now. " Emperor Shang looked at Shui Ruo and said indifferently.
"So, by the way, who do you want me to meet? You haven't told me. Who was that person? Was it terrifying? What do you like? "
Shui Long asked expectantly.
Hearing this, Night Emperor Shang laughed mysteriously. "It is temporarily kept a secret. However, you will never regret it. Even if he can't save you. "
"If he can't save me, I'll definitely kill you first." Shui Long rolled his eyes at Night Emperor Shang and threatened.
"Haha, calm down. In short, I won't harm you." Emperor Shang looked at the water and laughed.
The place that Night Emperor Shang wanted to take water to was not very far, but it was especially remote.
If it was a flat road, it would only take two hours. However, due to the rugged mountain road, their carriage traveled for eight hours.
The four hours were the eight hours spent in the modern era. Sitting for these eight hours, Wandering Water was extremely tired.
"Hold on, we'll be there soon." Emperor Shang looked at the unfriendly expression on Shui Long's face and said with a smile.
"You said that two hours ago." Shui Long gritted his teeth in hatred.
"It's true this time. If you don't believe me, just look outside. That person likes peach blossoms, and peach blossoms have already begun to form here. "
"Really! There are peach blossoms in this season? " Shui Ruo was surprised.
"Mm. This person's degree of love towards peach blossoms is astonishing. He likes peach blossoms, and he really wants to see them at all times. That's why he built this house here."
"Eh? "In other words, he should be a very difficult person to get along with." Shui Long was not surprised by the speculative character of what Emperor Shang had said.
After all, she would only be surprised if a person who could be close to the Emperor was a normal person.
However, how could such a paranoid man persuade him and ask for his help?
Shui Long was extremely worried about this, and Night Emperor Shang seemed to have noticed Shui You's worry as well. "He has three hobbies in his life," he said. The first was a peach blossom, the second was a wine, and the third was a zither. These three things had never changed in his life. I believe that if it was you, you would have impressed him and taken the initiative to help you, right? "
"You overestimated me." Shui Long gave a wry smile.
If this was what Night Emperor Shang had described them as, then that was a venomous tongue. A person who liked peach blossoms, wine, and guqin must be an elegant and independent person. For such a person to go to the capital to help her, what kind of place would that be?
Not likely. However, it didn't matter. It was better to just treat it as a trip.
As he thought about this, Shui Ruo felt relieved.
As they walked forward, the fragrance of the peach blossoms became stronger. If it wasn't for the fact that they were still wearing this season's clothing, she would have thought it was spring.
"The weather here is very strange. Even though it's winter, it's still warm here. It's as if it's spring all year round. "It's not far from the capital, yet there's such a climate change." As for Night Emperor Shang, he was already beginning to explain the situation. However, when he was speaking, he clearly only knew a little about this place and was very curious.
Shui Long couldn't help but be surprised as he listened to Night Emperor Shang's words. Listening to the words of the Night Emperor, he had the feeling that this was the reason why this man came here.
Four seasons like spring?
Shui Long narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Master, the road ahead is broken." Outside, the carriage driver's voice sounded.
Hearing that, Emperor Ye Shang burst into laughter, "Ha! So many years have passed, but he's still as bored as ever. " With these words, Emperor Shang was the first to step out of the carriage, and then he lifted the curtain of the carriage, leisurely helping the water down.
"This is?" The water looked at the ravine in front of them and choked.
Strangely, this place was flat, but there was only one road that people could pass by, and that was the ditch that the carriages couldn't cross.
"This is the guy's bad temper. There's no other way. Let's go over. " Night Emperor Shang helplessly shrugged his shoulders. Then, he pulled Shui You's hand and walked over.
Shui Ruo followed beside the man and scanned his surroundings.
When he was in the car, he didn't see it clearly, but after he got off, he realized how beautiful it was.
The peach blossoms fell like rain. The fragrance lingered in the air, giving people the feeling that they had entered a beautiful dream.
However, the grass beneath their feet made it clear that they were not in a dream, but in reality.
This place was simply a paradise.
"Be careful, there might be more traps up ahead." Just as the water was overwhelmed by the beautiful scenery and intoxicated by it, only Night Emperor Shang's voice could be heard.
This time, unlike the previous teasing, it was replaced with seriousness.
"The master of this place does not seem to welcome outsiders." Hearing Night Emperor Shang's words, Shui Ruo wrinkled his brow and said.
"He boasts that he is the master of a paradise and does not live on fire, so he does not want anyone to disturb him. That's how I got the ditch. That ditch is used to stop carriages, and what follows is used to stop people. "
As the sound of his voice faded, a sharp arrow pierced through the air with a whoosh.
"Be careful!" Shui Ruo reacted quickly, and discovered it first. He then threw Night Emperor Shang to the side without hesitation.
"That was close." After dodging the arrow, Shui Yuehan heaved a sigh of relief. Looking at the suppressed Night Emperor Shang below, he asked worriedly, "Are you alright?"
Hearing this, Night Emperor Shang looked at the two's postures, and his face reddened. He crawled up and said, "It's nothing, I was careless."
"Go on." I don't want you to be injured before you get here. " Shui Long frowned and said.
Hearing this, Night Emperor Shang nodded his head and once again held Shui Yuejian's hand. His beautiful eyes stared straight ahead, without the previous nonsense, but instead was filled with endless seriousness.
He didn't know whether it was because the owner of this place didn't continue setting up the traps or because the owner knew that someone familiar had come here and was no longer in danger.
Very quickly, the two of them arrived at the residence of the person that lived here.
It was in the depths of the Peach Blossom.
Inside a two story bamboo building, the sound of a zither was melodious. It was as if he was welcoming someone.
Hearing the sound of the zither, Night Emperor Shang couldn't help but laugh. He then leisurely pulled the water and sat on the ground.
No words.
Seeing that Night Emperor Shang didn't say anything, Shui Long didn't say anything, just quietly listened.
Then, involuntarily, he began to recall his entire life.
From the moment she knew that she had been abandoned to the moment she knew of the child's existence, to the moment she had destroyed everything for the child's life, to the moment she had chosen to die together with those fellows.
Whether it was the light, or the darkness, she remembered everything.
It was like a slide show of a person's life.
Then... Finally, it stopped at this moment.
The sound of the zither was still as before, but the carefree feeling of the water seemed to have passed through a thousand years, tiring to the extreme.
"Ha!" This guy is still the same as ever. " Night Emperor Shang, who was also very tired, bitterly smiled, stood up, pulled up the water, and walked into the building.
"You don't need to greet him first?" Shui Long looked at the Night Emperor Shang, who entered without even asking.
"It doesn't matter, he already knows we're here. Moreover, there's no need to greet such a fellow. " As he spoke, he rushed to the second floor, where the sound of the zither could be heard.
When he got closer, Shui Yuehan's resonance with the zither music became even deeper.
When he was outside, he heard her voice and couldn't help but reminisce about his past. However, when he got closer, he realized how sad that voice was.
The reason she remembered the past was because of the helplessness and regret. At this moment, she could clearly feel the mood of the owner of the zither music.
It made his heart ache. It made him want to investigate what exactly he regretted in order to deeply affect others.
"It's been three years. Every time I see you, you play this song." Ye Huangshang pulled Shui along and stood in the middle of the second floor. He looked at the screen in front of him and sighed.
The person behind the screen, upon hearing this, seemed to pause for a moment and then remained silent.
