The palace was still a scene of peace. The emperor had initially been a little worried, but seeing that the empress had voluntarily stepped aside, Imperial Concubine Lian did not press him. Instead, she was getting along happily with the people of the imperial harem.
At the Eastwood Palace, Mu Rong Qing Jun was looking calm and relaxed as he read his book. Ren Yunfei didn't even pay attention to the chatter in his ears.
"This commoner said so much, is it all bullshit? You are soon going to marry that Southern Champion Princess or something, and you aren't going to be nicer to Mingyue. " Yun Feiyang said angrily. He really couldn't stand how Mu Rong Qing acted like everything had nothing to do with him. He was clearly a mortal. No matter how handsome he was, it was impossible for him to reach immortality.
Mu Rong Qing seemed to have lightened a bit, but his eyebrows raised as he said, "I really don't understand what you mean, Brother Yun. Do you really wish for me to treat Yue Er well or not well?"
"Dang, of course it's for her!" Yun Feiyang suddenly stuttered as he angrily sat down on a chair after he finished speaking. The expression on his face changed again and again, while his heart was filled with grief.
He and the crown prince happened to meet outside the palace, and that time they met by chance as well. He fell in love with Qian Wuyue, but before he could confess, Qian Wuyue had already entered the palace, which was why he had thought of a way to enter.
The Crown Prince's eyes were like torches, he didn't know what was on his mind when he was outside the palace. However, after spending a few days together in the palace, he was able to see through it every time Wu Yue came to the Eastern Forest Palace.
Even though Qian Wuyue was beautiful, Mu Rong Qing didn't have any special feelings for her. After she found out what Yunfei was thinking, she generously expressed that he could help him and Qian Wuyue leave the palace, but Qian Wuyue didn't want to help him. The only problem was that the crown prince's body was severely injured, so it was easy for him to get sick if his physique became weaker.
"The one she likes is you, and she doesn't want to leave the palace. You don't need to say anything." After a moment of silence, Cloudsoar finally said helplessly.
Mu Rong Qing smiled faintly. "Mingyue will think it through one day. There's really nothing good about this palace. If I stay in it, I'll just be a caged bird. If I can leave, I want to leave as well."
"Your Highness is speaking nonsense again. You are the future king, where do you want to go?" Cloudsoar said snappily.
"That's right, but with a eighth brother like you around, I don't feel that bored anymore. It's also good if Mingyue doesn't agree to your request, so just stay with me in the palace for a while longer." Mu Rong Qing laughed. He knew that Yunfei hadn't completely given up, but he also knew that Qian Wuyue hadn't given up either. He was clear-headed in this matter and could only wait for one of them to figure it out and give up.
Yun Fei said stubbornly, "I'm going to leave anyway. I'll leave after you get better. I don't like staying in this suffocating palace. Who knows how many good places there are to go to. When the time comes, you can envy me."
He did not have any friends in the first place, but because of Yun Feiyang's straightforward personality, he was willing to treat him as a friend and did not want to use the rules of the palace to restrain him. Thus, when it came to his highness, or as a commoner, when it came to you, he did not care at all.
"From what I see, other than being able to treat poisons, you don't know much else. Otherwise, why would my body feel more and more uncomfortable these days?"
Cloudsoar jumped up and said, "Who ate five or six crabs in one go? Who often sleeps in the middle of the night? Furthermore, you say that my medical skills are not good enough, and that your body cannot withstand the cold nor the heat. You must take care of it properly, and fix it little by little to recuperate and recuperate. Everything that you do is against my words, but I just left the palace for a few days. "
When Mu Rong Qing heard his righteous words, his eyes immediately returned to the book. It was indeed his mistake. Yunfei had done it for his own good. It was a pity that he could only cure the body but not the heart. Isn't it just being willful and trying to make things difficult for yourself?
"Yunfei, why are you still yelling at His Highness? I could hear you from far away." Wu Fei Qian Wu Yue suddenly walked leisurely into the study, an exquisite box in her hand.
"Your Highness, I personally cooked some soup. You can read after you drink it." After reprimanding him, Yunfei turned around and spoke to Mu Rong Qing in an exceptionally gentle manner. Yunfei couldn't help but pout his lips as he refused to leave.
Mu Rong Qing put down the book with a smile and said, "Yue Er, thank you for your hard work. Yue Er's cooking skills are quite good. Come over and drink a bowl."
Qian Wuyue glared at Cloudsoar but didn't say anything. Cloudsoar pretended not to see, and brazenly came over to see that there was only one bowl left, and immediately shouted, "Not bad, not bad at all! "Bliss, hurry and find a bowl.
"Your Highness, the Queen Mother hasn't recovered yet. Why don't we let Cloudsoar take a look?"
Mu Rong Qing didn't reply. He drank a mouthful of soup and praised, "Yue Er's culinary arts have grown again. This soup should have been boiling for two hours now."
"Yes, it tastes really good." After the eunuch brought out the bowl, Yunfei immediately scooped a bowl for himself and drank it up. He had an expression of satisfaction on his face.
This person's skin was too thick. She and the crown prince had gotten along pretty well, and they had even spent the night together, so even though the crown prince hadn't really married her, he was very gentle and gentle. However, after knowing that this brat was interested in her, he had become more and more courteous towards her.
Originally, he wanted to chase him out of the palace, but the crown prince's body needed him to treat it, so he forced himself to hold himself back. He didn't understand why the crown prince was treating him so well, which made him more and more presumptuous!
"Your highness, Commander Zhang has something to report outside." A palace maid came in to report.
Mu Rong Qing finished the bowl of soup and said to Yunfei and Qian Wuyue, "You two may leave first."
"Yes, I'll come back later." After Qian Wuyue finished speaking, she picked up the boxes of food and carried them away, while Yunfei followed closely with a bowl of soup.
"There should still be a lot of soup left. Let me drink two more bowls."
Qian Wuyue ignored him and only looked at him when he was outside. "Yunfei, is your face made out of leather?" "How can you not be ashamed at all? You fight with His Highness every day for food. If Imperial Mother knew, wouldn't you scold me to death?!"
"Mingyue, are you worried about me?" Initially, if the crown prince had treated her well, he would have been able to withdraw in dejection. However, the crown prince clearly did not have any feelings for her, so how could she possibly be happy? That was why he insisted, hoping that one day she would understand.
Qian Wuyue, however, didn't appreciate this. "Please call me Esteemed wangfei. Also, I'd rather pour out my soup than give it to you."
After speaking, he grabbed the box and was about to throw it away when Yunfei quickly grabbed it and hugged it to his chest like a treasure. He called out, "Alright, alright. Lady Wu, give me two mouthfuls of soup."
When Qian Wuyue saw how funny he looked, she couldn't help but laugh out loud. When she saw Yunfei staring blankly at her, she immediately turned around and walked away, leaving Yunfei staring fixedly at him with a bitter smile on his face.
"Your Highness, Prince Qin has finally returned. Although the journey wasn't fast, it seems like he should have returned to Jincheng."
"Very good!" Mu Rong Qing's complexion improved slightly, and he finally heard some good news. To be honest, he was really worried that Mu Rong Yu would take Yue Er to live in Jiangnan and never come back. If he asked his father to give him a piece of land, it was possible that he wouldn't return to Jincheng City.
"What about Duke Ming? "What's going on?"
"I heard from Mo Feng that Duke Ming's subordinate sent a mysterious relative to Jincheng City a few days ago. Currently, he lives in the Mansion of the Duke of Qian and has sent people to investigate him, but they haven't been able to find his identity."
"Oh, since you told Mo Feng to be careful, the Residence of Duke Qian should be bustling with activity right?" This Uncle Qian was quite rare. After being low-key for ten years, he probably wouldn't be able to keep a low profile anymore.
"Yes, it can be said that there are a lot of people here, but most of them are small characters."
Mu Rong Qing smiled lightly. "Those old scoundrels are not that stupid."
"Does Your Highness have any other orders?"
"Continue to pay attention to the movements of the Duke of Qin. We must ensure that they return to Jincheng smoothly. Furthermore, we must also carefully collect every single detail of the Baili Family. I must make it clear to them that what I want is useful information, and not information that can be used to fool a three-year-old child. "
"Yes sir!"
"Go down." Mu Rong Qing dismissed the guards and walked towards the window in a daze. The eunuchs and palace maids who were waiting inside the room would all quietly retreat at such a time. Nobody knew what the crown prince was thinking, but they all knew that he was the one who didn't want to be disturbed the most.
The road was long and dusty.
Yang City, which was located to the south of the Wind City, welcomed a magnificent group of people. Over fifty horses escorted nearly ten carriages through the city gate. The knights were all dressed in the same blue-gray color. All of them were lean and had bright eyes. The second row of carriages was the most luxurious and spacious. However, the curtains were tightly closed so it was impossible to see inside …
The interior of the carriage was extremely spacious, and he was currently staring in dissatisfaction at the delicate young girl sitting opposite of him. The girl's appearance could not be considered beautiful, but her temperament was clear and spirited, and at this moment, she was actually reading a thick medical book with relish.
"Yun'er, as long as you say one word, Royal Brother will definitely find someone to marry on your behalf. There's no need for you to marry that sick Crown Prince Bei Heng." Even though Lu Shixun was infuriated, his tone was extremely gentle.
The Fifth Princess of the Southern Champion Kingdom, Lu Shiyun, did not even raise her head as she said, "Third Brother, Yun'er voluntarily married over."
But back then, we thought that we would be marrying that diligent king who knows how to fight, or even that Duke Ming. This crown prince has been sick for more than ten years, and I've heard that he has been using elixirs to protect him for a long time, and might even die someday. Yun'er, you went to a foreign country to be a widow at such a young age.
Lu Shiyun put away the book and smiled, "Third brother, I'm no longer a child. We were born in the palace and we haven't seen anything, but actually, it makes no difference who we marry. If I didn't hope for third brother to come out and hide in the shadows, I really don't want to see you marry off."
"What are you saying?" "I knew you didn't have any conscience, little girl," Lu Shixun said with a wronged look on his face. "I, your brother, specially sent me to Bei Heng to help you take a look at the environment, but unfortunately, I didn't see that sickly crown prince recuperating while hiding in his room. I was almost assassinated, and this time I even sent you to Jincheng.
Lu Shiyun laughed out loud, "Alright, I know you love me the most, third brother. As a princess, one doesn't have the freedom to get married, even if they aren't at peace with one another, it would still be used by royal father as a bargaining chip to win over people's hearts. Therefore, it doesn't really matter who we marry, as long as Crown Prince Bei Heng doesn't have to live much longer, I can also live a peaceful life."
"You, sigh, it's a good thing that royal father prepared quite a bit of dowry for you for the sake of our country's honor. Prepare some for yourself, if you really can't stay in the palace any longer, send a letter to third brother, third brother will definitely come and save you from the fire pit."
"Exactly, look, everything has been planned. Third brother saved me in the future and brought a lot of money with him to live a free life in the countryside. Third brother, don't worry anymore, I'll be fine."
"It's good that you're fine. Ever since you were young, you've liked to put everything in your heart. I'm just afraid that once I return to the Southern Champion Kingdom, you won't tell me what difficulties you have. Then how can I help you?"
"I still have Ilyin and Ina with me. I'll be fine."
"Mm, the skills of the two of them are not bad, but there are many tricks within the palace. Often, killing people without blood is not a bad idea, so you still have to be careful." Back then, mufei had gone mad for more than a year, and was not allowed to get close to him. He never thought that she would give birth to a daughter before she died, and when he found out, Lu Shiyun had already lived in the cold palace for fourteen years, and had only been able to live a peaceful life for two years. Then, he was sent to Beheng Heng to reconcile with his wife.
Lu Shiyun leaned against the soft blanket and said, "Third brother is still the great general. I really wonder how those soldiers can endure such nagging generals."
"You, well, if you don't like it, then I won't say it. Anyway, just remember what I said before. If you have any difficulties in the future, you must remember to look for your brother. Do you know that your brother will always stand on your side?"
"Yes, thank you big brother." However, no matter how much Lu Shixun behaved, her reaction was always indifferent, and being scolded without a conscience was fine. In fact, she did not want herself to be indulged in love, and if she were to lose that favor one day, wouldn't she be even more unaccustomed to it? Just like their mother, once she lost her rationality, she would lose all sense of reason. Otherwise, how could she give birth to a child and not wake up, she did not want to think too much, all she wanted was to live in peace and not be happy.
"If you go any further, you will be in Jiangnan's most prosperous city, Wind City will be filled with government roads once you pass, and you will be able to reach Jincheng City in less than half a month. Although Bei Heng's wedding envoy will be coming to Wind City to receive you, I still want to send you to Jincheng City to see you get married before returning to Southern Champion City."
"This way, big brother will have a hard time." Lu Shiyun was actually very touched in her heart. If only she could have gotten to know her brother earlier. In those cold years, what she longed for was just a little bit of care.
"It's fine. It's not hard work. It's much better than during the war. Actually, it's more like sightseeing." His expression was relaxed, but in his heart, he was wondering if he would ever have the chance to meet that young girl again.
That day, when he jumped down from the wall, she was unable to jump out. When he jumped back to the top of the wall, he could only see her injured body falling down. At that moment, he really wanted to rush back to save her, but his loyal guards desperately held him back and brought him away.
He could only hope that her injuries were not too serious and that the other party would understand the situation and not harm her, but he knew that these hopes were slim. After he hid himself, he did not give up and sent people to the inn to investigate. Those people came and went quickly, and very quickly, they disappeared northwards, and he had to return to the Southern Champion City.
Thus, that night, the girl in white sitting in the dim light was like a dream. Every time he recalled her cold gaze, it was his sudden intrusion that caused an innocent person to die.
"Husband, I'm still very worried. Why would those people want to capture my mother?" For the past two days, she had been having nightmares. Occasionally, there would be fragments that were not disorderly, but when she woke up, she could not understand it.
Murong Yu had mixed feelings, but all he could do was hug her and comfort her in a soft voice, "Don't worry. The news from Jincheng City has already been confirmed. Your mother is safe and sound. We'll see each other as soon as you return."
"Really? Why do I always have nightmares? " She did not tell Murong Yu that the scenes that appeared in her head had made her feel very chaotic and insecure. The closer she got to Jincheng, the more she felt that something terrible was going to happen.
"You're just thinking too much. I'm also very worried and very upset that you're suffering like this. I hope that you'll always be happy." Murong Yu murmured.
If she was terrified, he would only be more afraid. Why was happiness so short? If she thought of the past, would she still be able to remember how nice he was to her? Can you remember the days of love?
