Seeing his body, dressing up, and his demeanor, Xiao Ruyue guessed that he must be a young master from a wealthy family who wore a mask for fun.
Finally seeing a living person, Xiao Ruyue didn't know why, but tears streamed down her face as she cried loudly.
The youth panicked and put Yu Xiao on his waist, hurriedly running over to comfort her. "If you don't know the way home, then I'll send you home. Don't cry."
She didn't know what was wrong with her and couldn't stop crying either.
The sky turned darker, and in the blink of an eye, it was completely dark.
When Xiao Ruyue regained her composure, she could only sigh in the dark of the night.
"Don't worry, I can take you out." The youth lightly patted her shoulder as he solemnly said.
His voice was very light, most likely changing. It was a low and gentle voice that was somewhere between a teenager and an adult. For some reason, it was full of persuasion.
She believed it.
The youth took out a green glazed porcelain box. As soon as the box was opened, there was a large luminous pearl inside.
The moment the Night Pearl appeared, the darkness in the surroundings was instantly dispersed.
The youth held the Night Pearl in one hand and led her with the other as they walked deeper into the peach forest.
What happened in the end?
The memories became increasingly blurry.
Xiao Ruyue met Yuwen He's gaze at this time, and his face flushed.
Yes, she was tired by then. The teenager simply squatted down and said to her, "I'll carry you."
Since men and women were different, she naturally refused.
However, he said, "I am quite a few years younger than you. Just treat it as your little brother carrying big sister. Do you want to be eaten by wild beasts here, or do you want to be the guard of your men and women? "
Seeing her hesitate, the young man added, "The mountains are not comparable to the cities. When the sky turns dark, all kinds of wild beasts would come out."
At that time, Xiao Ruyue was still young after all.
The sound of the wind seemed to have turned into the growl of a wild beast.
She let out a loud "Ah!" and bravely leapt onto the back of the youth.
The youth laughed softly as he carried her down the mountain step by step.
Perhaps it was because she was too tired from walking for a whole day, or perhaps it was because his back was too warm. She only felt a surge of fatigue and fell asleep.
She only remembered that when she woke up, she was already in Taohua Nunnery's guest room.
Yao Ziyan told her: Everyone had been searching for her, but they couldn't find her. Finally, the of the Main Hall discovered that she had fainted at the back door, and sent her to the meditation room to rest.
Because it was too late to return to the city that day, they stayed at Taohua Nunnery. But from then on, she could not find the youth who saved her.
Later, this matter became a secret in her heart, and she told no one about it.
But when he recalled what happened back then, Xiao Ruyue felt deeply moved.
"How did you send me back then? And why did he leave without saying goodbye? " She held Yuwen He's hand and frowned.
"I know what you want to ask." Yuwen He patted Xiao Ruyue's hands as he hugged her tightly. Then, Xiao Ruyue obediently leaned on him.
"At that time, I was cultivating in the mountains with Master. It was an accident that I met you that day." Yuwen He said. Speaking of the things that happened that year, he was indeed very calm and collected, "At that time, I already recognized you, but I did not reveal my identity to you."
She was his benefactor, and he hoped that one day, he would become a very powerful person before thanking her for her kindness.
Unexpectedly, the more wrong he was, the further he would go.
Back then, he had only thought that she had married someone he liked and hoped that she would be able to achieve true happiness. Thus, he had followed his master on a trip to the desert for a few years.
By the time he received news of Wei Wangfei's reincarnation, it was already a few years later. By then, it was already too late.
He rushed back to Da Xia without stopping and heard the news that King Wei had long since remarried, the two elders of the Xiao family had died tragically, and the hands of bandits. Following Xiao Ruyue's death, the Xiao family that had passed down the marriage contract also collapsed with a loud bang.
It was too much of a coincidence, too strange, to believe that a man who loved his wife so much would marry him soon after his wife died in childbirth. He also didn't believe that there were so many coincidences in the world.
He followed the clues and continued to search. He finally found the ugly face hidden under Yuwen Chenglian's gentle and refined mask.
It was also because he had persevered and persevered that he had finally discovered the secret behind the prince's estate. However, when he sneaked into the manor to rescue her, he was still a step too late.
On New Year's Eve, she desperately took in her last breath.
With his eyes wide open, no matter what, he couldn't rest in peace.
The bones were stiff, but it was no longer possible to see their shape.
He regretted, he regretted!
If he had matured earlier, if he had been stronger, he would have been able to see through Yuwen Chenglian's false face. He wouldn't have watched her walk into Yuwen Chenglian's gentle trap!
He wished he could die for her!
He wished that he could use his life in exchange for her!
But he was powerless!
No matter how much time passed, as long as he thought of everything that had happened before his eyes, he would definitely not hesitate to kill Yuwen Chenglian on the spot!
He yearned for his benefactor, who he treasured as much as he could, but Yuwen Chenglian had treated him as grass!
"I wish I could tear them into a thousand pieces!" 's eyes shone with a cold light, and the grip on his hand unconsciously tightened.
He only came back to his senses when she screamed for pain.
The person in front of him slightly furrowed his brows, his eyes filled with mist and worry. His heart was filled with surprise and palpitations that came back to him as he could not help but lower his head and hold Xiao Ruyue's vermilion lip.
He kissed her wildly, asking for it, as if it were not enough.
She was a real, real existence, not the inhumane skeleton in the rubble.
Even now, he still remembered that she was as thin as a wood and as hungry as a ghost. The iron chain was embedded into her flesh and blood, growing together with her flesh and blood. In the end, he used a sword blade to cut off the iron chain.
That night, he took away the corpse and set a fire. The backyard of the Wei Wang Manor was completely burnt up, only leaving behind a pile of ruins.
He still vividly remembered the night when she died with grievance and was set on fire.
He was afraid, afraid that he would lose her again!
After going into a frenzy, Yuwen He hugged Xiao Ruyue and gasped for air.
"Elder Sister Xiao, I cannot lose you!"
He hugged him very tightly, very tightly.
He told her everything that had happened in the past.
Tell him how he found out about Yuwen Chenglian's wolfish ambition, tell him how he brought out her corpse from the Duke Palaces.
But she was terrified.
Xiao Ruyue had never known that Yuwen He would actually do so much for her when she wasn't aware of it.
If he hadn't personally said it today, she wouldn't have known the truth in this life.
"Elder Sister Xiao, the reason I am alive in this world is for you. Without you, everything would have been meaningless. "
A low and hoarse voice lingered in Xiao Ruyue's ears. Yuwen He's large palm caressed her face, as if caressing a rare treasure.
"I can't lose you."
"No, you won't lose me." Xiao Ruyue used both hands to hold his face, and looked at Yuwen He in the eyes, "Since the heavens know that I have a blood feud that I have yet to take revenge on, and allowed me to live, I will not let down this kind of kindness."
she said firmly, and laughed. "Do you know? I can't leave you anymore, Darling. "
Xiao Ruyue's smile was somewhat bashful, but it was not bitter. Holding Yuwen He's face, she moved her red lips up to her and gently kissed his lips.
"In the past, it was like a dream. Xiao Ruyue no longer exists in this world. If I don't want to, no one can take me away from you. "You know what I can do."
she said, blinking slyly.
Yuwen He smiled, and the iciness in his eyes slowly faded.
Once she stirred up the solemn atmosphere, there was no difference at all.
"I know your capabilities, and I will not allow anyone to hurt you again!" Yuwen He's large palm caressed Xiao Ruyue's exquisite face. The corner of his mouth slowly rose, it was the warmest smile in the world.
Yuwen He said: "For you, and for our child, you must protect yourself well. As for the rest of the matters, let my husband handle them."
"Mm, I'll leave it all to you. I believe that you will do everything in your power to protect this child who has finally arrived. " Xiao Ruyue replied obediently, her expression gentle and graceful as she smiled lightly.
Yuwen He also laughed.
He would not spare any of those people who dared to threaten his wife and children!
"Do you want to see your own burial ground?" Yuwen He restrained his thoughts and played with the hair in his hand.
Xiao Ruyue hesitated for a moment, then nodded her head.
"Fine, when you're better, my husband will take you for a walk outside the palace."
"Yes."
The bones were buried outside the city, in the mountains. He was facing the Imperial City as if he was staring at everything that was happening in the city.
That year, the great fire in the Duke Palaces had all been fooled by Yuwen Chenglian with a few words. How could he possibly admit that Xiao Ruyue, who had died from childbirth five years ago, had starved to death in the woodshed? He would also not admit that he could not even see the corpse of a dead person, much less admit that the fire was deliberately instigated by outsiders.
On that day, Yuwen He had also moved his country affairs office over to the Phoenix Inviting Hall, precisely for the sake of looking at Xiao Ruyue up close. She couldn't stop his even if she wanted, so she could only allow him to do as he pleased.
Xiao Ruyue drank the Body Nourishment Medicinal Solution and slept soundly throughout the night.
The next day.
She didn't get up until late morning. Yin Lin and the others knew that she was pregnant and needed to rest, hence they did not dare to disturb her.
Today, Feng Yuting wanted to keep track of her status as a Tatar female doctor and enter the palace. And before that, she had to first meet Mrs. Wang and Yao Ziyan.
When Mrs. Wang heard about the empress's invitation to enter the palace, she was quite surprised.
Because she knew that Xiao Ruyue was disguised as a man and worked in the Ministry of Industry, she could guess the Empress' real reason for summoning her into the palace. It was just that she was a little worried.
The empress suddenly summoned her to the palace in the name of her daughter's outstanding performance in the imperial harem. She couldn't help but feel unsettled.
