"What do you think of her?" Lu Shixun asked with a smile.
Lu Shiyun looked at Lu Shixun strangely. She felt that his question was very sudden, so she could not understand why he asked: "I have only seen Duke Ming's wedding once. She is pretty, pretty and charming, and her character seems to be very quiet and calm, just that her smile that day seemed to be a little unreal, but we haven't interacted much, so we are unclear on the specifics. Why did Third Brother suddenly ask about this person?"
Lu Shixun put away his smile and recalled, "The first time envoy Bei Heng returned to the Southern Champion City, I was ambushed in a small town, and when I dodged, I implicated a woman. Because of me, she was injured or even almost lost her life.
"Could it be that the woman is the Concubine Wangfei?" From what she knew, Lu Shixun was a bit cynical. He shouldn't pay too much attention to these details, yet he just couldn't forget about the women she met by chance. Could it be …
"Yes, it was her. I had already seen her when we were swimming at the lake, and after we found out about her identity, I thought she was similar, but after some careful investigation, she indeed went to Chen Family Town, and because she was injured that time, she lost her memories. So at your wedding, she didn't see anything strange when she saw me, so she probably doesn't remember me at all." Lu Shixun's tone was light, and one could only feel a slight sense of loss.
Lu Shiyun asked, "What is Third Brother planning to do by suddenly mentioning her?"
The Duke of Qin never made public the news that she was injured, presumably to save her some trouble. When he mentioned this, he just thought that Royal Concubine Qin should be a pretty good person, and if you have the chance to befriend her in the future, it should be good for you. I heard that the Crown Prince was also very considerate of her.
"Oh, okay, I know." Lu Shiyun nodded. Although she felt that Lu Shixun still had a deeper meaning, she did not ask any further.
Looking at her, Lu Shixun smiled and did not continue on the topic. He changed the topic and actually mentioned another matter that Lu Shiyun was not interested in, "From the information sent by the Southern Champion, I heard that the Emperor is at loggerheads with his fourth and eighth royal brothers."
"Is it still about the throne? "In the past, there were rumors that the late emperor wanted to pass on his position to the four royal brothers, but the testamentary edict was destroyed by the Great Emperor Brother, and according to the customs of the past, the Emperor's position was established as a leader. The Empress' second royal brother is no longer around, so the Emperor's position belongs to the Great Emperor Brother, is this true?" The battle for the throne of the Southern Champion had long been no secret. Even countries like Bei Heng and Xi Qi knew about it. Lu Shiyun, who had a talkative lass like Yi Na, naturally knew quite a bit.
Lu Shixun laughed, "Who knows? The late emperor was too sick to be cured. On that day, only the eldest, fifth brother and sixth sister were in the palace, there was no evidence for it, but the royal brother's prestige in the imperial court was not stable, so when fourth brother and eighth brother attacked together, it was hard to guess who would be the one to die! "
"Third brother, you can still laugh. Are you purposely hiding in Bei Heng until both of them are injured?" Lu Shiyun looked at him and asked.
Lu Shixun tilted his head, still looking at Lu Shiyun with a smile, "Does Yun-er wish for Third Brother to go back and be cannon fodder?"
"Of course not, Third Bro can avoid as much as he wants, but when he can, he must also be kind." Lu Shiyun pointed.
Lu Shixun shook Lu Shiyun's hand and said, "Third Brother knows that no matter what I do, Yun'er will definitely support me."
"It's a pity that I'm too weak to help." Lu Shiyun lowered her eyes.
"How could that be? Alright, let's not talk about it. As long as Yun Er understands brother, it's fine. After you return to the palace, you need to take care of yourself. Previously, Master said that sometimes showing weakness is for the sake of becoming stronger, so you should understand the meaning behind this better than I do. "
"Yes, I understand." Lu Shiyun's voice was very soft, almost inaudible. Of course, she was clear about the role of being weak. If she was not strong enough, she could only show weakness. The weaker she was, the safer she could survive and the more stunning she would be.
But how long would he be able to use this move? In the palace, most of the time, fate was not in his hands. If there was no one to protect him, then it would be impossible for him to rely on a woman's intelligence. From the looks of it, not only was it impossible to avoid the internal strife in the Southern Champion City, but it was also inevitable that it would expand. Lu Shixun could not stay in Bei Heng for too long either, as the path that he was determined to take was much harder than hers.
Even though she really wanted to peacefully cross the sun, she only had this kind of brother that cared for her in every possible way. She should help him, but how should she help him?
The blizzard finally subsided a bit. Murong Yu shook off the snow on his cloak and tightened it again. He looked in the direction of Jincheng and pulled the reins of his mount.
He was very clear on every single move of Yun Sheng's. According to the information, she had yet to recover her memories, but he had a nagging feeling that something was amiss. Other than the unusual signs mentioned in the message, his consciousness instinctively felt that there must be something different with her.
However, he didn't know for sure what it was. He only understood when he saw her, because he didn't want to hug her anymore these days. He wanted to hug her tightly, wishing that he could rub her into his blood and bones.
With Bai Bing Bing around, she should be able to remember something after so many days of treatment. What would happen if she remembered her past and realized that he wasn't the person she was closest to? Murong Yu hesitated for less than an hour. Seeing that the sky was getting darker, he finally rode his horse towards Jincheng City.
"You! Why is second royal brother here? " She had only dozed off on the soft seat by the window. The moment she opened her eyes, she realized that Murong Chong was right in front of her. He was looking at her with a look of deep love, but he could not see Cui'er and the other maidservants.
"There's no need to look for them, I've already injected all of their acupoints and they have gone to bed." "Yes." Murong Yong said in a soft voice, a faint smile appearing on his face. Yue Er, when you are sleeping, you are still as cute as ever, just like a kitten. "
Yun Sheng's expression changed as he turned to look out the window at the dark sky. He frowned and asked, "Second Imperial Brother looks cultured and refined. What is the logic in rashly barging into Shengyue's room? May Imperial Brother leave before the guards discover you."
"NO!" "I won't leave that easily. Yue Er, it's good if you recover your memories, or if you can't remember anything. I love you, and my heart won't change …"
"Royal brother, what are you saying?!" Did royal brother forget about you and my identity? " Yun Shengyue stood up and said angrily as she collapsed. However, she did not dare to look into Murong Ming's eyes.
"Yes!" If I had to choose again, I would rather be Baili Yu of Jiang-Nan City forever. I would rather be the person you like so much that you'll fall in love with me. " Murong Ming grabbed Yun Shengyue's hand and explained.
She hurriedly retracted her hand and took a few steps back as she spoke incoherently, "Royal brother, what exactly is your brother talking about? She did not understand. She has a husband and children, so how can your brother say something like that …"
"Yue Er, don't be afraid! What I said to you before was completely true. You didn't like Murong Yu at all, and the marriage between you and Murong Yu was a mistake, but royal father didn't know that you had been bestowed a marriage, and he had already reached an agreement with you, so we agreed to let you off after two years, but he went back on his word and lied to you when you were injured and lost your memories. Think about it carefully, the person you like is me, and the two of us are in love.
Go back to him? How could he say it so easily? Even if Murong Yu didn't agree, even if he did, her identity was well-known, and she had appeared before everyone several times. Everyone recognized her, so how could she possibly return to his side? Yun Shengyue did not say a word. There were too many mistakes in her words. She could only shake her head with all her might as she looked at Murong Ming in panic. Her eyes gradually turned foggy.
"Yue Er, you still don't believe me? Yue Er, I really didn't lie to you. Come with me! " Murong Yong was getting a bit anxious. He had finally managed to get his subordinates to lure the Black Shadow Camp's guards away and enter Yun Shengyue's room. He had finally managed to confess once more, but why was she still not feeling anything?
"Don't come over again. If you come over again, I'll call for someone!" What did he want her to do? How could she bring Murong Yu's child to follow him? She could only shake her head and retreat again and again …
Murong Mingyue could not bear with it any longer. His figure flashed as he rushed in front of Yun Shengyue and hugged her. Just as Yun Shengyue wanted to circulate her energy and struggle, Murong Mingyue had already opened her acupoints and was unable to move.
"You! What are you trying to do? Let go of me! " Her kung fu was taught to her by the famed Murong Clan, so even if she were to fight, she would not be a match for him. Furthermore, she had been somewhat hesitant, so she did not really want to shout out loud, causing the guards to feel extremely embarrassed. They had initially wanted to persuade him to leave in an easy manner, but he had hugged her without a care.
This hug was still very familiar to him. Although there was a strange smell of alcohol in his memory, Murong Hui loved to be clean and did not like the smell of alcohol. He loathed the smell of alcohol because when he did not drink the wine, it was very fragrant.
Murong Mingtong tightly held onto Yun Shengyue, pressing her head into his embrace. How long had it been since he held her? Her body seemed to have become even more exquisite, but there was still the familiar scent of roses on her body, "Yue Er, don't scream! Can I hold him for a moment? Just hold her for a while and do nothing else. I really miss you so much that my heart hurts just thinking about it! "
Just for a moment, nothing else!" Back in Wind City, Murong Hui would often make such requests with a warm smile on his face and his eyes would always be reluctant to part with them. Back then, his request had made Yun Shengyue feel like she was a treasure, so she always tolerated the bashfulness and let him hug her for a short while.
When she thought of this, Yun Shengyue's tears silently flowed down her face. She could not move at all and could only allow Murong Ming to hold her in complicated emotions. She did not know what to say and he could only hug her without moving, but his arms were tightly wrapped around her …
Murong Yu really wished that he hadn't returned, traveling day and night just so he could see Yun Sheng on the eve of the New Year. Even though he was hesitating, even though he was filled with apprehension and even hesitated for a long time after entering the city, he quietly returned to his residence.
In the outer room, Cui Er and Lan Er were already asleep, so his steps were very light. He was afraid that if he disturbed her, she might be fast asleep, but as soon as he entered the inner room, he saw the two people tightly hugging each other. They were so absorbed in hugging that they didn't even notice his arrival. They held each other for so long that his anger turned to ice.
He originally wanted to rush forward and pull them away. He wanted to fight with Murong Ming and have a showdown, but so what if he won? In the end, she had still recovered her memories, right? That was why she thought of Murong Fu. She remembered that he was the man she loved. What did he count for?
Originally, she was unwilling to marry into the estate, but on the night of the wedding, he couldn't wait to draw a clear line between them. As long as no one disturbed her, she would be able to live happily in the side yard as well. As it turned out, she had long since wanted to become an honorary imperial concubine, so she didn't care about the title of imperial concubine.
She did not give a damn about him, for there was already someone in her, and he, the fool, had unwittingly fallen, and her departure made him discover that he truly loved her, that he truly wanted to embrace her until he was old, and that he felt so different from the care and concern that Ju-er had given him, even when he understood that her lack of heart had fallen on his head, and he could not help thinking of her and worrying about her.
At the beginning of her injury, he had not meant to hide it, but she did not understand that when she opened her eyes, that moment of innocence, that helplessness, that puckered look with pain and grievance, he had wanted to do everything in his power to protect her, to love her, to do anything in exchange for her health and happiness.
However, everything was in vain. No matter how much he paid, she wouldn't care! How could his sacrifice be compared to their ten years of confrontation? Murong Yu didn't even return to the Clear Mo Courtyard. Instead, he dejectedly left the Mansion!
