CH 61

That night, Lu Mingyu slept very unsteadily, she dreamt strange dreams all night.

In her dream, she saw herself standing in the jungle outside the battlefield in her previous life.

The shouts of killing in front of the city gate were so loud that the city gate was about to be breached. The Second Prince got off the chariot, rode a steed, raised his arms, and shouted to the soldiers, and the soldiers were enthusiastic.

She quietly drew her long bow, and the long arrow pierced through the air, hitting the Second Prince.

The Second Prince was killed instantly and fell off his horse. The soldiers screamed and shouted in grief. There was chaos outside the city gate... Everyone thought it was the archer of the Yan Kingdom in the city, who shot the Second Prince with one arrow.

No one thought that the real assassin was hiding in the dense forest 300 meters away.

She quickly jumped off the tree and threw her bow and arrow into the deep hole dug beforehand. Then got away...

Strangely, no matter how fast or far she ran, she couldn't get out of the jungle. No matter how much she ran, she returned to the original ambush place.

She was in a cold sweat, getting more and more anxious, and her heartbeat was getting faster and faster.

After countless attempts, she was finally exhausted and fell to the ground. Unluckily, she was lying in the place where the bow and arrow were buried.

She closed her eyes, her heart was beating fast. After a while, she opened her eyes and suddenly found another person beside her.

This person had a blood hole in his throat, his breath was dead, and his empty eyes were directly facing her.

It was actually the Second Prince who was shot to death by her arrow.

Her pupils shrank suddenly, she turned over and continued to flee without looking back.

She ran fast, the wind whistling in her ears.

Behind her, was the Second Prince who couldn't stop chasing after her. The voice drifted into her ears faintly: "Lu Mingyu, I have no enmity with you, why did you kill me?"

She didn't want to hear it and kept running. That voice was bone-chilling.

Lu Mingyu, why did you kill me?

…

Lu Mingyu suddenly sat up on the bed.

Her face was covered in a cold sweat, her palms were wet, and the cold sweat on her back soaked her shirt, which was extremely uncomfortable. Worse than that was the flood of remorse and guilt.

In the beginning, she was really stunned by Li Hao and did such a wrong thing.

If it wasn't for her, the Second Prince in the previous life would not have died. The Eldest Prince had been killed, and the throne should have belonged to the Second Prince...

Li Hao was determined to ascend to the Imperial throne, and after sitting on the Dragon Chair for three years, he returned to the West when his old illness relapsed. She outlived Li Hao for a few years and finally died of poisoning.

In fact, the sky has eyes.

She lowered her head and buried it deep in her knees.

A man bleeds without tears. She is not a boy, but her temperament is tougher than that of a man. Back then, when Li Hao betrayed her and accepted Concubine Su into the palace, she was heartbroken but never shed any tears.

At this moment, a teardrop quietly slipped from the corner of her eye.

She was not used to having maids on duty at night, she was the only one in the boudoir. No one saw her embarrassment and regret at this time.

After some time, the door was knocked on a few times, and Qiyun's familiar voice sounded outside the door: "Miss, it's the fifth watch. It's time to get up."

Lu Mingyu usually gets up at five o'clock, goes to the martial arts field to fight and practice swords for an hour, and then takes a shower, changes clothes, and eats breakfast. This habit has persisted for many years.

Qiyun waited for a while and felt a little strange when she didn't get any response. She reached out and knocked on the door again.

If the lady hasn't responded, she should just push the door and wake up the lady.

"Let someone prepare hot water, I want to bathe and change." This time, there was a response from the door. However, the lady's voice was strangely hoarse.

As if she was crying.

As soon as this thought crossed her mind, Qiyun felt absurd and funny.

Who can make the lady cry?

She was really in a panic, thinking wildly.

…

Lu Mingyu stayed in the large wooden barrel for half an hour.

The warm water surrounded her, and the steaming heat slightly drove away the darkness in her heart. It also concealed the redness at the corners of her eyes. The one who reappeared in front of Qiyun was the spirited Lu Mingyu again.

"Miss, do you still want to go to the martial arts field?" Qiyun asked casually with a smile.

Lu Mingyu shook his head: "I won't go."

That strange feeling came again.

Qiyun glanced at the master and couldn't help but mutter, "Miss has been a little weird these two days."

Lu Mingyu twitched the corners of her mouth and said nothing. Qiyun didn't say much.

At this moment, a little maid walked in quickly and respectfully brought up the post in her hand: "Miss, Miss Shen has sent a post."

Close friends in the boudoir, if you want to get together just send someone a message, that’s all.

Shen Lan, however, likes to make flower notes and write invitations by herself. The beautiful small script of hairpins in one hand, with a touch of floral and ink fragrance, makes people feel happy both physically and mentally.

The spring sun is long and the spring scenery is beautiful. She wanted to stay in their summer retreat for a few days and invites Fourth Miss Lu to go with her to enjoy the spring together.

Lu Mingyu's eyes swept away, her heavy and obscure mood loosened, and there was a smile on the corner of her mouth: "Bring me a pen and ink, and I will also write a reply."

I feel bored, so I might as well go to the Shen Family summer retreat for a few days to relax.

Lu Mingyu took out a white short note, picked up a pen and put down ink, and wrote a big "good" word.

Qiyun: "..."

Lu Mingyu sent the reply to Qiyun: "Send it to the Shen residence immediately, and then pack some clothes for me."

Qiyun responded, took the post, and couldn't help whispering: "Look at Miss Shen, this post is written delicately and elegantly. Why don't you write one in detail? If Miss Shen sees this reply, she will die laughing."

Lu Mingyu pursed her lips and smiled, with a hint of mischievous wisdom flashing in her eyes: "Who asked her to write in front of me? Just let her laugh and break her belly."

Miss had finally smiled.

Qiyun's heart also fell to the ground, smiled and joked a few words, and then backed out. Sending the maid to the Shen residence to deliver the letter, she was busy packing the clothes for the master.

You should bring some clean and neat military uniforms, and you should also bring new spring clothes with bright colors to enjoy the scenery in spring. Bring some common jewelry. In less than half an hour, it was ready.

Lu Mingyu put on her usual holding jade sword and reached out to get a bow and arrow. As soon as her hand touched the horn longbow, it trembled slightly as if it had been scalded by boiling water.

This horn longbow was also made by Lu Lin secretly finding the best craftsmen, using the best materials, and spending half a year crafting it. It looks inconspicuous, but it is actually tough and terrifying.

She is the only one who can draw this bow.

The fifty arrows in the quiver were also made by craftsmen with a secret method, and the tips of the arrows emitted a faint cold light.

She used this bow and arrow to kill the Second Prince.

Lu Mingyu flashed complex emotions in her eyes, took a deep breath, and retracted her hand.

She turned her head and instructed Qiyun: "Go to the martial arts field and get a pair of ordinary bows and arrows." After a while, she said, "Put this horn longbow away, and don't take it out again."

Qiyun was startled and wanted to speak, but when she saw Lu Mingyu's suddenly condensed brows, she couldn't say anything and answered in a low voice.
