"If I can meet you again in the next life, I think I should treat you better. I owe you in this life, and I will keep it in my heart."
Mo Lanyue's long and leisurely voice floated through the desolate backyard. As expected, there was no one around. The only people who could hear her voice were the two old trees and the vines covering the courtyard wall.
Mo Lanyue stood in the desolate backyard of Zige Palace for half an hour, until her feet were sore from standing, she suddenly turned around and left this place that was not very familiar to her. Walking out miraculously
She was not lost. She saw the two people waiting outside at a glance. They were as motionless as stones, waiting for her.
After going to the Zige Palace, she regained her composure again. She sat alone in the room, waiting for Gu Lieyang to come back. She would talk to him for a while, eat something together, do some exercise and then rest. Her daily life was ordinary.
, but she waited calmly.
She was used to being active, and suddenly she turned into a lady. Gu Lieyang couldn't help but wonder if the injury on her head had other sequelae besides causing her to lose her memory.
Gu Lieyang didn't dare to push too hard. As long as she stayed within his reach, he could handle political affairs with peace of mind. No matter how busy he was, he would take time to accompany her for a while, and he was even more attentive to her at night.
It was so tight that even Mo Lanyue was clearly aware of his intentions, but always turned a blind eye and fell asleep next to him every night, purely treating him as a pillow.
Three to five days passed by in a hurry. During this period, Gu Lei looked for her again, but because of her amnesia, the agreement between them finally came to nothing. Gu Lieyang pampered her like a treasure, and even Gu Lei took care of her.
She couldn't help it.
In the Ziyang Palace, Mo Lanyue was like a powerful mistress. Even though she didn't care about anything, the servants still treated her with extraordinary respect.
On this day, Mo Lanyue had just gotten up, and Gu Lieyang was no longer there. She saw a small note under the teacup on the table. While getting dressed, she walked over and took the note in her hand, thinking that she didn't need to tell her.
She also knew that Gu Lieyang went to the Imperial Study Room. His daily schedule was so regular, so why did he need to leave a note for her to report?
When she read the line of small words on the note, her eyes locked on the signature in the corner of the note.
The person who left the message to her was not Gu Lieyang, but Liu Jueming. He actually came all the way here to find her. If she remembered correctly, there was such a deep hatred between them. She would never dare
He took the initiative to provoke his biggest enemy. Could it be that he felt that she had lost her memory and was easy to talk to, so he was ready to laugh away the grudges with her?
She put away the note, asked Lin Feng for a dagger, put it in her arms, and was about to leave the palace.
But when she was about to leave the palace, Gu Lieyang rushed in and blocked her way out of the palace.
"Girl, what are you doing out of the palace alone?"
"Isn't there another Lin Feng following me? It's obviously two people."
She raised her eyebrows at him and chuckled.
"If you have anything to do, I can just ask someone to do it for you. Why bother doing it yourself?"
"The beautiful lady has an appointment. I'll go and come back."
Gu Lieyang frowned, obviously not wanting to let him go. In her current situation, if she went out of the palace alone, she might not be able to protect herself if anything happened.
"Give me a reason to let you out of the palace."
Mo Lanyue smiled sweetly and leaned against his chest, "You once said that you would not force me. If I want to leave the palace, do you have to stop me?"
She still had a smile on her face, but Gu Lieyang could see the impatience in her eyes. If it were Mo Lanyue from before, she would have yelled at him directly now. She could still pretend to smile, which was already very impressive to him.
He would save face. But if it were Mo Lanyue who had extraordinary abilities before, he wouldn't be so worried. Now it happened to be his busiest time, and it was impossible to accompany her out of the palace.
After bargaining, Mo Lanyue finally led a large group of guards out of the palace. Several of them knew Lin Feng and greeted each other as soon as they met. Mo Lanyue walked in front alone, trying not to pay attention to their presence.
.
After leaving the palace, she followed the address written on the note and found it was a restaurant when she arrived.
I had time to make an appointment with her at a restaurant instead of an inn. I thought Liu Jueming's visit was not in a hurry.
She walked directly upstairs, and the orderly footsteps behind her reminded her of the mammoth force of this team. As soon as she stepped onto the second floor, the dozens of guardsmen indeed aroused all kinds of curious looks from the people around her.
Wandering around the imperial city with dozens of guards would not be that eye-catching, but taking dozens of guards to a restaurant and even going up to the second floor of a restaurant, which is not big in the first place, would be considered a rare event.
Mo Lanyue stamped her feet dissatisfied. She originally wanted them to wait for her outside the restaurant, but none of them listened to her orders. Even if they stayed three meters away from her, they refused. Gu Lieyang didn't know what was going on in private.
How did you explain to them that they treat her as a child who can't live without adults?
On the terrace near the street, Liu Jueming was already sitting there waiting for her. When he saw her arriving, he stood up to greet her very politely.
Mo Lanyue didn't feel embarrassed, so she went over to sit opposite him and asked straightforwardly.
"What do you want from me?"
"It's just catching up with old times, don't be so nervous."
Liu Jueming pointed to several rows of guards behind her and said with a smile.
"I don't want to bring so many people with me, but my husband won't let me, so I have no choice. But you, Your Highness, went to great lengths to sneak into the palace and leave a note, asking me to meet outside the palace, just to catch up with me? You're not
Don’t know I…”
"I know, but I still can't help but come to see you. I think, even if you don't remember me, we can get to know each other again. I don't mind starting from being just friends."
After pouring a glass of wine for her, Liu Jueming pushed the glass forward and waited for her answer.
Mo Lanyue picked up the wine glass noncommittally and looked at his seemingly cheerful smile, but she couldn't laugh in her heart.
"Why don't you say anything? I don't mean any harm. I know we had some disagreements before, but you have forgotten them. Can we just write them off and start over?"
Liu Jueming couldn't wait for her answer and couldn't help but ask.
She remained silent for a long time, then put down the wine glass in her hand, "I don't know what kind of blessings I accumulated in my previous life. I have to know so many people from the royal family in this life. His Royal Highness is very handsome. If not everyone told me that I
Since you are already Gu Lieyang, I might fall in love with you."
At this point, she suddenly laughed, picked up the wine glass again, and toasted to Liu Jueming, "I can't remember what happened before, but my heart tells me that such an excellent friend is definitely worth making."
Mo Lanyue's words made Liu Jueming confused, but when he saw her finally toasting, he felt relieved. He thought she would rush him away, but he didn't expect Mo Lanyue after losing her memory.
He has a much gentler personality than before.
After drinking the first glass of wine, the two of them became warmer. They poured wine one glass at a time and talked more and more. Mo Lanyue listened to Liu Jueming's talk about how he stole alone.
He slipped out of the Caiying Palace and went on the road alone, just to come here to see her again. Liu Jueming listened to her talk about the things she encountered after returning to the palace, happy and unhappy, and she was happy to share them with him.
Dozens of guards behind them watched the two of them interacting like this. Forget it if they didn't know. The faces of those who knew the inside story were green with anger. But now they couldn't talk. No matter how unhappy they were, they could only stare blankly.
Focus. After all, their responsibility is to protect Mo Lanyue's safety, not to avenge the death of the Fifth Highness.
"Liu Jueming, if you hadn't gone all the way to make an appointment with me this time, I would have lost a rare good friend like you. Come, let's have another drink. Thank you for coming to me."
Mo Lanyue stood up and spoke sincerely while holding the wine glass. For a while, the sound of grinding teeth behind her became clearer.
"The Liu Jueming they described to me was not like what I saw today. Before today, I might have been hesitant about how I should face you, but today, I can tell you with certainty that when I see you,
I am very happy to see you and meet you again."
She kept saying a few words, which left Liu Jueming speechless. He excitedly drank the wine glass in one gulp, filled it up for himself and her, and toasted her with a glass in return.
"Mo Lanyue, after today, we are friends. When you need help, as long as you say a word, I will go to any lengths for you, no matter how hard it is, I will go through the mountains and into the sea of fire."
After Liu Jueming finished speaking, he drank another glass of wine. Before seeing her, he only thought about seeing her. He never dared to expect that she would be kind to him, but she gave him
There are too many optimistic reactions, as if he is his old friend, chatting over wine and talking about everything.
At this moment, he seemed to feel that everything he had lost was back. Without Caiying's power, he still had Mo Lanyue.
He also has Mo Lanyue...
"Well..."
Just as he was secretly chuckling, Liu Jueming suddenly felt a sharp pain in his abdomen. He didn't even hold the cup in his hand, and fell to the ground. It broke into pieces with a 'pop'.
He looked at the fragments of the wine glass on the ground, then raised his head and wanted to ask the waiter to get him another glass. When his eyes glanced at Mo Lanyue's face opposite him, he was completely stunned.
Mo Lanyue put down the cup at some point, supported her head with one hand, and tapped the table with the other. Seeing his painful expression, she leaned forward slightly and asked with concern, "Liu Jueming, what's wrong with you? Is that right?
You drank too much and now you feel like vomiting?"
He should be happy to hear that she cared about him like this, but he couldn't laugh at all, just because... he saw something familiar in her eyes.
That was the emotion he saw every time he saw Mo Lanyue before, an emotion he was very familiar with.
Hatred, thick hatred showed through her eyes without concealment. Even though she was smiling at him and looking into her eyes, he had to guess whether she was cursing him to die soon in her heart.
"Liu Jueming, why don't you say anything? Are you really that uncomfortable? Do you want me to find a doctor for you?"
Mo Lanyue stood up and grabbed his wrist with one hand, as if to help him, but it just stopped him from retreating.
"Mo Lanyue, you...remember me?"
Liu Jueming tried to stand up several times, but finally fell down on the stool weakly.
The severe pain in his abdomen and the weakness of his body made him worse than an ordinary person at this time. Any woman with some strength could knock him down, let alone the extraordinary Mo Lanyue he knew.
