Luo Rongji's long and slender arm drooped, the corner of his pitch-black clothes slightly swayed, he stood tall and straight without moving, quietly watching the servant girl, who was hiding poison within her teeth, be carried down by the servants.
Luo Rongji lowered his head, and his fingertips spun around lightly and joyfully. The scroll that said, "It is enough to overturn the world, spanning 4000 years of age", his eyes were filled with scarlet red — —
This scroll actually came from him, and for that purpose, he used this spy in the lobby to his death.
On the nape of the dead woman's neck was a white powder tattoo of an iris, which he had quietly covered with blood.
He raised his gaze slowly and stared fixedly at the pale-faced, young girl, whose entire body was exuding a sense of fear and unease as she was comforted by Li Suren. He could not help but find it funny: "Old Ancestor, this princess, who is not much different from a young girl and does not understand human suffering, is she really the person you're looking for?" It was just a mere weak girl who didn't have any soul power, but was also naive and foolish.
Can she really do as you wish?
Master Luo, what do you think? Zuo Yueshang walked over with a serious face. Luo Rongji withdrew his train of thoughts, his delicate lips moved slightly, as he spat out a word, and looked at her.
stared blankly for a moment. After realizing that Luo Rongji was referring to Chaxianyu, his face immediately revealed a worried look. Master Luo, from what I see, Princess Xing Ning's nature is lively and pure, loyal and loyal, just that she's still young and immature. I'm afraid that I...
Oh? What the Master Zuo meant was.
Zuo Yueshang cupped his hands together in a humble manner. His highness Xing Ning and this lowly one's beloved wife, Li Suren, have come to address each other as sisters, while I, the Left, also view the Princess as my younger sister. Today, the scroll's secret words have appeared out of nowhere and it will definitely not be peaceful in the future …
I beg the Master Luo to assist His Highness Xing Ning in making the right decision.
When Luo Rongji heard it, he was not surprised at all. He turned his head, looked at Chaxianyu from afar, and said steadily.
When Zuo Yueshang heard this, he was somewhat surprised. Luo Rongji had long since spread open his legs, his steps steady and steady, like the wind blowing. When he reached Chaxianyu's side, Chaxianyu was holding onto the hem of his skirt, leaning into Li Suren's embrace, his eyes looking into the unknown.
Are you going to find your mother?
Chaxianyu was shocked, she looked at the person who asked the question with astonishment. The man's exquisite face was as cold as ice, as though asking her questions was just following a specific procedure, he did not have any reason to consider Chaxianyu's feelings.
Shier Hong frowned, he was extremely unhappy, but he still walked over and coldly said, "Master Luo, this does not seem to be something you should interfere in."
Go to Empress Cha?
Luo Rongji emphasized his tone as he repeated himself. His blood-red eyes stared at Chaxianyu unblinkingly, completely ignoring the bitter Shier Hong beside him.
Chaxianyu clenched her fist tightly. She was silent for a good while, and when she raised her head, the terrified look in her eyes had already disappeared like smoke into thin air. Replacing it was a pair of firm and bright eyes that were as bright as obsidian.
Yu Er! Shier Hong frowned. He found it hard to understand, with just a piece of paper left behind by an unknown spy, he was about to go to the legendary Penglai Immortal City's "Guangye" to find the Empress Cha that everyone knew had passed away 15 years ago … It was too rash and risky.
Chaxianyu suddenly looked at Shier Hong and laughed, Young Master, I suddenly feel lucky that I escaped the palace.
Since someone was willing to secretly guide me, to remind me of the possibility that my mother might still be alive, to ask me to look for her, whatever his motives might be, I should hope to give it a try.
It was better than doing nothing until I had seen it with my own eyes.
Shier Hong was momentarily stunned by the young girl's resolute tone. He wanted to say something, but he eventually sighed, and with a complicated expression, he said, "Since you've made your decision, I can't advise you anymore, it's just that —"
You are not going to search alone, the agreement between you and I is still valid.
Chaxianyu was very touched, her eyes were burning hot, she was extremely happy, smiling like a peach blossom she immediately expressed her thanks, Thank you Young Master!
At this time, High Priest Luo's faint voice sounded in his ear, "I'm sorry, but I'm afraid that I might have disturbed Prince Xing Ning's mood."
He looked at Chaxianyu who had a puzzled expression and spoke frankly. This Luo Yuan is under the orders of General Zuo to accompany you on your journey to your left and right to protect your safety.
Li Suren who was at the side raised her sleeves to cover her mouth, she could not help but be overjoyed, ah! If that was the case, it couldn't be any better! She happily shook Chaxianyu's hand. Yu Er! With these two men with powerful martial arts skills, I can be said to be the companion of the elites of the human race.
Chaxianyu was dumbstruck. She had repeatedly confirmed whether the black-clothed man's words were a joke, and on Luo Rongji's face, which was as beautiful as a sculpture's, which seemed to lack any normal person's muscles or nerves, there was nothing else other than an expressionless face.
If there is nothing else, I will take my leave first. Luo Rongji clasped his hands in salute, quickly turned around and was about to leave the hall when Chaxianyu suddenly shouted and stopped him. Wait! Master Luo!
Luo Rongji turned his face, his high nose bridge revealing a trace of pressure. His heart skipped a beat as he stammered, "Uhh …" Then, tomorrow morning, we'll meet at the carriage at the front entrance of the Zuo Mansion …
Luo Rongji nodded and replied with a single word. Just as he was about to lift his leg and leave, Chaxianyu called out to her again. Luo Rongji seemed to be slightly unhappy, his eyebrows slightly raised, and patiently indicated for her to finish.
Chaxianyu's fingers were twisted like a fried dough twist. God knows how much courage it would take for her to say a single word to this frightful and cold Priestess. She stumbled and almost bit her tongue. Master Luo can call me Chaxianyu in the future … There was no need to call him Princess …
Hearing that, Luo Rongji asked, could I call you Miss Yu?
Chaxianyu nodded her head with all her might. It's possible!
Luo Rongji seemed to be amused by her, but at the same time, he didn't laugh. The faint curve of the corner of his mouth seemed to be just an illusion. His tone seemed less cold, but also as if nothing had changed.
Luo Rongji softly said, "Okay."
That night
Chaxianyu lied on the bed in Li Suren's room, her legs that were exposed outside started to sway. As she flipped through the paintings that Li Suren had made, she pouted her lips and muttered softly.
Li Suren was seated in front of the copper mirror with her hair tied up. She asked gently, What does Yu Er want to ask? It doesn't matter.
Yu Er still remembered that when they were at the palace, her sister had told Yu Er that she had a lover. According to her sister's description, Yu Er just couldn't understand how the man whom you have loved for 11 or 12 years suddenly became General Zuo Xu Ming, who she was not very familiar with in the palace.
Li Suren's combing of her hair suddenly stopped.
She put down her cinnabar comb, got up and walked to Chaxianyu's side. She hugged her shoulders, and her cheek gently pressed against the girl's soft top of her head. "Yu Er, you are still young, in this adult world, nothing is absolute.
Li Suren raised his eyes and looked at the lush and verdant scenery outside the shutter. His eyes became long and calm.
I also remember, when I told you about someone I like, you were just a silly little seven-year-old kid. Now that I think about it, you've grown up into a big girl for eleven years. Time passed too quickly.
Li Suren lowered her head, her amber, gentle eyes faintly hiding the emotions that Chaxianyu couldn't understand. Actually, from the moment I fell for him, I understood that this person was an existence that I would never be able to obtain in my entire life. He was so high and mighty that I didn't even have the right to stand shoulder to shoulder with him. However, I can't let him go. Thus, I can only work day after day, year after year, trying my best to increase the cultivation of my soul power. I can't even learn how to deal with the red girl, so I can only practice playing the music that he likes … She secretly hoped that she would be good enough to attract his attention to me one day.
Chaxianyu asked softly. Did he pay attention to her sister's feelings?
That man is a passionate and single-minded gentleman. In his heart, there will always be a woman who could crush me to pieces and restore me to my previous self. "I knew from the beginning that my adoration was a doomed death.
Then, Sister Li, since you love him so much, how could you suddenly ask your royal father to marry General Zuo after so many years?
Li Suren laughed, because I realized that Yue Shang was the same as me.
Chaxianyu's face was full of question marks. Li Suren touched her head and thought, all these years, I have always been immersed in my own world, desperately chasing after that person's back, completely ignoring the voices of the outside world. I have never had the time or time to care about the feelings of others, so when Yue Shang told me that he fell in love with me when I was 15 years old, I was truly shocked.
When he confessed to me, his face flushed red, and he stammered as if he was at a loss for what to do. The look in his eyes, as he looked at me, jolted me from my long unrequited love — it turned out that the look in his eyes when he loved a person was so deep and affectionate, there was nowhere to hide it. Even if he didn't speak and just stood there, my heart would swear to me: This man loves me, his eyes, his expression, his actions, everything about him, he loves me, loves me so much.
He fell in love with me just because I performed a snow fox dance in front of His Highness Emperor Xun when I was fifteen years old. He carried my portrait into his arms, brought it to the army camp, brought it to the battlefield, and then returned to the palace ten years later, carefully fished out the portrait for me from his bosom. Oh my god, if he hadn't explained, I really wouldn't have known that the ink on the portrait was on my face... Hahaha
Fog slowly started to rise in front of Chaxianyu's eyes, and she knew what Elder Sister Li was going to say next.
Each of us has the right to love others, the person I love, and the person I love. Previously, I had always felt that the natural law of the world was that as long as I was willing to work hard, there would definitely be a response, and there would definitely be a reward. Unwittingly, I turned my love for him into a game of self-esteem, betting on my own beauty, betting all of my happiness, just wanting to prove that I was outstanding, I was right, I was so good, I would definitely be loved. I'm sure I can win this battle of love.
I've already... How long has it been since I listened to other people's feelings? It was only then that I realized, ah, that the tall man in front of me was exactly the same as I had been running desperately towards him for the past eleven years. Before I knew it, I had become the one standing high above me that prevented others from getting close to me. It turns out that he, just like the self-abased, hard-working and courageous me from the past, was also silently chasing after my figure while I was trying to love someone else without a care in the world.
Li Suren's tears dropped from her eyes as she smiled brilliantly. Her tears slowly rolled down her fair cheeks. I have loved a man for such a long time. He would never be able to notice me, remember me, and even love and protect me … Perhaps it was due to my heartache towards the past, or perhaps it was due to Yue Shang's unique gentle personality that deeply moved me. The moment he kneeled down and proposed to me, I was already willing to withdraw from a competition that I had competed with myself for eleven years.
I am probably not a good woman. I don't know if he will be happy with me in the future. It's just that I, only towards this foolish and serious man who is trying his best to get close to me, want to never hurt him no matter what, let alone let him down.
Chaxianyu gently hugged Li Suren as she sobbed. This Master Zuo truly loves you, and this Master Zuo will definitely … She would understand Sister Li.
Li Suren also slowly raised her hands and hugged Chaxianyu back. Yu Er, thank you for staying by my side all these years.
From tomorrow onwards, you will embark on a new journey.
Sister wants you to be brave and love what you love.
I hope that you will come back safely.
