The heavens were truly joking around with him. Back then, when Xue Luoyun loved him so much, she was determined to escape her.

Later on, when he found out how he felt about her, he was forced to get engaged to Xue Lian.

Now that she finally returned, Yue Lao directly slapped her face and mocked her for her wishful thinking.

Mu Zhuoyun's heart was filled with incomparable regret, regret that he had been covered in dust at first, and he had actually thought of annulling the marriage with Xue Ruyun. If it wasn't for him breaking off the engagement for the first time, there wouldn't be so many things happening in the future.

The heavens would never give him the chance to start over after he ruined this marriage with his own hands.

It could be said that the affairs of the world fooled people. Only those who lost would know how to cherish it. Unfortunately, it was already too late. He was fated to never be able to obtain Xue Ruyun in his entire life.

The cold moon at noon was very boring. She would need a few days before she could report to the Imperial Palace. The Emperor allowed her to spend these few days wandering around the Imperial Palace.

After leaving the Mu Zhuo Palace, Leng Yue wandered around. When they heard that Xue Ruyun and the others were in the Imperial Garden, they leisurely came to look for them.

From afar, he saw Mu Zhuo's dazed expression as he lowered his head and slowly walked forward.

"Hey, where are you going?" Leng Yue stepped forward to greet him.

He didn't expect that Mu Zhuoyun, who had been stumbling along the way, would completely miss the cold moon that was coming her way. She knocked it over onto her body.

"Ouch."

"I'm sorry." Mu Zhuoyun absent-mindedly said as he continued to walk forward, not paying any attention to the cold moon at all.

"What's the matter with you?" Leng Yue asked as she rubbed her aching shoulder.

From the looks of it, something had happened to him. It was completely different from the morning.

Mu Zhuoyun raised his head. Only now did he recognize that it was Leng Yue. "Oh, it's you." Mu Zhuo said and left.

"What kind of person is this?" Leng Yue looked at Mu Zhuoyun's back with a puzzled expression.

"Be careful, Crown Prince." The servants behind him cried out in alarm and reminded Mu Zhuoyun.

"Sigh, that's by the lake, hey!" When Leng Yue heard the cry of surprise, she saw Mu Zhuo staggering toward the lakeside, looking as if he was about to fall into it.

She quickly changed her form and stepped forward, grabbing onto Mu Zhuoyun.

"Be careful, it's dangerous." The cool moon pulled Mu Zhuoyun to a safe place.

"Thank you, General." The servants kneeled on the ground and kowtowed. If anything happened to Mu Zhuo just now, their heads would be on the line.

"What's the matter with you?" Leng Yue could tell that Mu Zhuoyun seemed to have suffered a great blow as he sat him down in a pavilion.

"Nothing." Mu Zhuoyun held his head and forced out a smile. With that, he stood up in a daze and walked towards the palace.

Seeing his expression from afar, Leng Yue was truly worried. He was originally going to look for Xue Ruyun, but after seeing that he had lost his soul and appeared to be in an absent-minded state, he had no choice but to follow him as he was afraid that something would happen to him.

"Are you sure? "Actually, you can stay in the capital." Mu Zheng looked at Xue Ruyun, wanting to make her stay in the capital so badly that it would be hard to say anything.

Although Xue Ruyun belonged to Mu Sheng now, if she was in the capital … At the very least, she could watch over her and know that she was fine. That would be enough.

Mu Zheng's eyes were filled with intense anticipation, but when he opened his mouth, he was actually speaking of a few words to urge him to stay.

He tried his best to conceal the feelings in his heart, afraid that he would become a burden to Mu Rong Hao and Xue Ruyun.

"I've been in the capital for too long, and I want to see the outside world. Since Mu has nothing to do, we'll stop here and take a look at the Great Thousand World. We can also help Your Majesty get a better sense of the situation." Xue Luoyun said.

In her eyes, as long as he was with her, no matter where she went, it would be the best.

Mu Zheng smiled wryly in his heart. From the beginning to the end, the only person in her eyes was Mu Sheng. Forget it, it's fine if he left. Perhaps the longer he stayed, the better his feelings would be.

Since he couldn't stop him, Mu Zheng could only nod and say, "Be careful on the road."

"I will."

Having also lost some of his feelings, Mu Zheng endured it and buried his love deep within his heart. As an elder, he continued to care about her with a carefree expression on his face.

However, it was difficult for Mu Zhuo to do this. He could not control his emotions just like he could not control his emotions. He could only choose to evade.

"Isn't it fine in the morning? What happened? " Leng Yue, who was following behind Mu Zhuoyun, asked in puzzlement.

"The heavens' will is messing with me, the heavens' will is messing with me." Mu Zhuo smiled, but his eyes were filled with tears.

Leng Yue didn't know what had happened to her, but the only thing that could cause a person to laugh and cry, yet cause him to be unable to speak of the bitterness within his heart, was most likely his feelings.

Leng Yue looked at his back and suddenly felt her heart ache. She didn't know how to comfort him, so she paused for a moment, then suddenly opened her mouth and said, "Let's go drink."

"Drink?" Mu Zhuoyun stopped. Perhaps there was nothing better than wine at this time. Drunk to ease one's worries.

"Yeah, I wasn't enjoying myself yesterday." Leng Yue unfurled her fan and spoke heroically.

Mu Zhuoyun turned her head to look at her. Standing under the flower tree, she looked extremely beautiful. A gust of wind blew over, causing the flowers to fill the sky. A few of them landed on Leng Yue's hair.

"Alright, let's go. I'll bring you to a place." Mu Zhuo was spirited and brought him to the hidden market building.

"Crown Prince." When the boss saw Mu Zhuo, he greeted him and went to his room just like before.

"Come, cheers!" Mu Zhuo Ji poured a big bowl and drank from it.

The cool moon smiled and raised her glass to accompany him.

As the saying goes, those who don't get drunk get drunk. After a few cups of wine, Mu Zhuoyun's entire being began to become dispirited.

He drank one cup after another, incoherently narrating his deep feelings of kindness toward Xue Ruoyun. In the end, he had still missed out on her heartache.

Looking at Mu Zhuo, who was lying on the table and mumbling to himself, Leng Yue gently lifted the bottle of wine for him and then gave him a piece of clothing. She walked to the window and looked into the distance, letting the wind blow against her, causing her clothes to flutter.

Mu Zhuo was drunk and his eyes were hazy. He saw Leng Yue's figure and fell asleep.

In the dream, he once again saw that figure who had appeared thousands of times, the dreamy back of Xue Luoyun.

He finally mustered the courage to call out to Xue Luoyun, "Wait, can you turn around?"

"Only to see Xue Ruyun turn around. He was speechless, but he still had a carefree smile on his face.

"I, I like you …" In his dream, Mu Zhuoyun had spoken out all the suppressed emotions in his heart.

He didn't ask for results, and only hoped that she would know his intentions …

Mu Zhuo, who had been drunk for a while, woke up. It was as if he had said goodbye to the past. His face became much calmer. The obsession in his heart had already been resolved. From now on, he would bury it forever in his heart.

He stretched his body and stood up. The wind had blown away his past, starting with a new future.

"You're awake?" When Leng Yue saw Mu Zhuo, her mood improved a lot after getting drunk.

"Thank you for accompanying me." Mu Zhuoyun handed the clothes in his hand to Leng Yue as he said gratefully.

"It's nothing, my friend." Leng Yue smiled.

When they returned, it was already late. The two of them just happened to run into Xue Luoyun, who had come out of the palace.

"Where did you go?" Xue Luoyun greeted.

"Eh, I took a stroll outside." "I'm not familiar with this place, so I asked him to show me around."

"Oh, what's wrong? Are you alright?" Xue Ruyun saw that Mu Zhuoyun's mood was a bit off.

"It's nothing. You, are you leaving?" Mu Zhuoyun looked at the face that he had been thinking about day and night. He lowered his voice as he asked, trying his best to seem very normal.

"Yeah, how do you know?" Xue Luoyun was somewhat amazed.

"No, I guessed." Mu Zhuo hid his face.

"Haha …"

"Then, how long are you going to stay and when will you be back?" Mu Zhuoyun was silent for a moment. Then, he could not help but ask again with a serious tone, his heart filled with unwillingness to part.

"I don't know. Maybe very soon. Maybe I'll never come back." Xue Luoyun speculated.

"Forever …" Mu Zhuozhi repeated his words in a low voice. There seemed to be thousands of knots in his heart. The knots were all about her attachment and reluctance to part ways.

"I was just randomly guessing, and I might not meet again in the near future. The matters of this world, who can say for sure?" In his heart, he still felt somewhat reluctant to part with his friends in the capital.

"Let's stop talking, I still have some matters to attend to right now. I'm in a hurry to leave the palace. We'll talk another day." As Xue Ruyun spoke, he prepared to leave.

"Sigh …" Mu Zhuo could not help but shout as he watched her shoulder in front of him and about to leave.

"Anything else?" Xue Luoyun turned around. How similar this turn was to her dream, how familiar this scene was. However, Mu Zhuo could no longer confess to her.

"Nothing, just pay attention to your safety." Mu Zhuoyun forced a smile.

"Alright, then I'll be going."

Mu Zhuoyun watched as her figure gradually disappeared. She staggered a few steps forward, but she still stopped in her tracks.

Leng Yue looked at Mu Zhuo's back and suddenly felt a pang for him.

Time flew by and in the blink of an eye, Mu Sheng had already taken care of everything around him. Xue Ruyun was about to set off on his journey, but the time to bid farewell still arrived.

At the city gate, one could see that Xue Muyun and Mu Ying had changed into civilian attire. They only brought a few hidden guards and a maid like Yun Zhi.

The two didn't want to show off and cause unnecessary trouble.

Mu Zheng and the others walked to the city gate. They stood there and bid each other farewell.

It was unknown when they would meet again after this day left.

"Alright, everyone, send them here." While carrying the health care, Xue Ruoyun and Mu Ying clasped their fists and said their goodbyes to everyone.

"You guys, take care." Mu Zheng looked at them with a myriad of words in his heart, but he could not say them. He could only say, "Take care, it will end the complicated feelings in your heart."

"Elder sister, take care." Leng Yue had been with Xue Ruyun for so long that she couldn't bear to part with him. At this moment, her eyes were a little red.

"You too. On the battlefield, blades and swords have no eyes, so you have to be careful. " Xue Luoyun looked at Leng Yue, who was dressed in a military uniform, and repeatedly instructed her.

Mu Zhuoyun stood to the side, not saying a single word. He was deeply afraid that if he opened his mouth, he would say something that he shouldn't have.

"Everyone, take care. We're leaving." Xue Ruyun glanced at everyone, then he jumped on his horse and sped away with Mu Ying and Mu Wenwen.

Mu Zheng and the rest watched as the horses' hooves trampled on the road, raising dust and dirt. Soon, their silhouettes were obscured by the dust. He turned around reluctantly and walked into the busy street with empty hearts.
