"Yes, I won't disturb the prince anymore!" Manager Li wanted to leave as he wished. He bowed and exited the flower dance hall.
"Do you think the emperor knows about it?" Murong Lie asked sideways. Maybe Murong Jue also received the news and knew what was going on in the prince's residence.
"Maybe!" Murong Zhan sighed, unable to answer him definitely.
"Are we just waiting here for Brother Huang?" Murong Lie asked again. At this moment, Murong Jue should not be back for a while.
"Since you're here, please sit with us for a while!" Murong Zhan heard this, and Qingcheng's figure suddenly flashed in his heart. I wonder how his wife-in-law is recovering now?
"Wait for me here for a moment, I'll go and come back!" Murong Zhan stood up and said, wanting to see Qingcheng.
"Oh!" Murong Lie replied blankly, looking up at Fifth Brother who suddenly felt something strange, and watched him leave the Flower Dance Hall.
Murong Zhan walked out of the hall and went directly to the Royal Garden, hoping that he could see Qingcheng there, even if he just stood outside and looked at her back...
Prince Chen's mansion was very big. He met many maids along the way from the Flower Dance Hall. He didn't want to ask them where Qingcheng was now, but he was still afraid that he would be disappointed when he went to the Royal Garden!
"Is the third sister-in-law in the imperial garden now?" Murong Zhan stopped a maid and asked.
"The princess was in Xiangting just now, but now I don't know where she is!" the maid lowered her head and replied.
Xiang Pavilion?
Murong Zhan frowned and said nothing, then strode towards the Xiang Pavilion.
It turns out that the place she likes to go is not Yuyuan, but there...
When Murong Zhan came to the incense pavilion, Qingcheng was still there, sitting there with her slender figure, just like what he had seen before, with a noble temperament permeating invisible.
He stood quietly not far outside the pavilion and did not come forward again. His bright eyes stared straight at her without moving or blinking...
What is she thinking about at this moment? Is it Ye Yunmo who has been away for many days?
Murong Zhan curiously began to guess in his heart.
Ye Yunmo, that man was no match for his imperial brother, but he was able to win her heart. He lived so deeply in her heart that no one could shake him even a little bit.
Perhaps the relationship between them for more than ten years from childhood to adulthood cannot be blocked by anyone, not even his superior brother Murong Jue!
What kind of past do they have between them? Is it purely brother-sister love? Or is it the love between son and daughter?
Murong Zhan frowned and thought deeply. He was very curious about the past between Qingcheng and Ye Yunmo. A sense of voyeurism spread in his heart, wanting to know what their past was like!
The long black hair was blown by the breeze, and a hint of cold fragrance spread in the pavilion. Murong Zhan was confused and glanced around the scenery. There was no flower and grass in his eyes that emitted such a fragrance, and this kind of fragrance spread in the pavilion.
The aroma seemed familiar to him.
Murong Zhan was about to step forward, but after taking two steps, he was stopped by Murong Lie who was looking for him from behind.
"Fifth brother! Third brother is back!" Such a shout made Murong Zhan stop immediately, and also made Qingcheng in the pavilion turn sideways.
She looked back calmly and saw the two of them behind her, their expressions still as calm as a clear pool...
Murong Zhan looked at Murong Lie at that moment, his eyebrows were furrowed and he was a little unhappy. He instantly looked like Qing Cheng in the formal hall, and his face was a little stiff and unnatural.
However, facing the gazes of the two brothers, Qingcheng just stood up indifferently, looked at them for a few seconds and then walked out of the pavilion.
She didn't come forward to talk to them, and left without even a nod of greeting...
Murong Zhan's heart suddenly became heavy. Is she angry? On the day she was angry, he helped her imperial brother conceal the news of Ye Yunmo's departure?
He just stood there, watching Qingcheng gradually walk away...
"Fifth brother..." Murong Lie walked up to him and shouted in a low voice, his eyes flowing between him and Qingcheng.
"Let's go!" Murong Zhan said in a deep voice. The depression in his chest made him very uncomfortable, as if the dream he had been looking forward to suddenly shattered. A huge gap made his chest feel tight!
He didn't know what dream he had in his heart was shattered. In short, the indifferent look Qingcheng looked at him just now made him uncomfortable!
He could feel the indifference and blame in her look just now...
Is he overthinking it? Or is this the truth?
"Fifth brother, what are you thinking about?" Murong Lie stood beside him and asked in a low voice, somewhat confused as to what was wrong with him and why he was already at the Flower Dance Hall and he was still unaware as if he was wandering in a fugue.
Murong Jue, who was sitting in the hall, looked at him calmly. If Murong Lie hadn't called him, I believe he would still be in a daze.
"No...nothing!" Murong Zhan suddenly came back to his senses and felt at a loss for a moment!
Murong Lie raised his eyebrows, silently telling him that they had arrived.
Murong Zhan looked at Murong Jue who was directly in front of him. He still had not changed much. Even though he was silent, there was still a strong sense of shock sweeping over him!
"Third brother!" He called him, sorting out his somewhat confused thoughts, hoping that the man in front of him didn't see any clues.
"Do it all!" Murong Jue said, his steady voice without any emotion.
Soon after the two of them took their seats, a maid brought two cups of fragrant tea, and then they all left, leaving only three extraordinary men in the hall.
"There has been nothing unusual in the Prince's Mansion recently, but Qi Yao is not restless at Lintong Pass!" Murong Lie spoke loudly, telling Murong Jue all the news they had received in the past few days.
The man in the seat just listened silently, with an unworthy expression on whether he already knew about this or didn't know.
"Qi Yao is careful when doing things. If he can get Murong Jin's attention, he must have certain abilities!" Murong Jue said calmly, his face was expressionless, and his eyes seemed to have glanced at Murong Zhan just now.
"So Third Brother, what do you mean..." Murong Lie followed his advice, his starry eyes shining brightly.
"Just stand still!" Murong Jue simply said, and then talked about other things, "The battle plan of Fengguo will change in the past few days. The person leading the army is their Princess Chaoyang. This woman is in Fengguo."
His reputation can be as good as that of the prince of the feudal country, and he is deeply loved by the feudal emperor."
"Third brother refers to Princess Chaoyang, who is known as Zhuge Zhuge?" Murong Lie raised his eyebrows slightly. He had also heard of this woman's reputation. Although she was born as a girl, she could strategize and lead troops in battles as well as men.
There were rumors for a while that she might accept the position of crown prince in the future and become the first empress of the feudal kingdom!
"Well, if she was there to give advice, the battle at Ye Yunmo would be more difficult!" Murong Jue said, obviously focusing on Murong Zhan.
He was very quiet today, and there seemed to be something on his mind hidden in his starry eyes. His eyebrows were slightly furrowed and he didn't say a word. There must be something being hidden from him.
When Murong Jue looked at Murong Zhan like this, he suddenly became nervous and thought to himself: Did he find something?
"Third brother...I..." Murong Zhan was a little flustered. Even though Murong Jian never asked him what happened, his look still made him restless and made him hesitate.
"Just tell me if you have anything to say!" Murong Jue also wasted time and waited patiently for his next words.
Murong Lie also turned his attention to him. He noticed that he was in a daze on the way from the Xiangting Hall just now. He didn't know what was wrong with him!
"Will Brother Huang help Ye Yunmo?" Murong Zhan hesitated for a few seconds before asking.
As soon as his words fell from his red lips, Murong Lie, who was sitting next to him, had an instant change in his eyes, and then he turned his attention to Murong Jue, wanting to hear what his answer was.
"No!" Murong Jue said very directly, leaving no room for negotiation.
Murong Zhan's eyes darkened a bit, "If something happens to him, everyone in the Ye family will be chained and punished. Then won't the third sister-in-law also..."
Murong Zhan wanted to say that Qingcheng would also be implicated, but before he could speak, Murong Jue already knew what was behind him, and interrupted him loudly, saying: "Now that she has married this king as his concubine, naturally
She is one of my own, even if the Ye family is raided, no one will dare to touch her!"
Murong Jue said this, as if he didn't care about the life or death of everyone in the Ye Mansion. He only knew that the woman who belonged to him would be fine.
"But the third sister-in-law is also from Ye Mansion. She will never ignore anything happening to Ye Yunmo!" Murong Zhan said anxiously. He didn't want to see Qingcheng's sadness again. He wanted to see her live a better life.
Get happiness from the soul!
Such an idea seemed to have taken root in his heart unconsciously, making him think about it naturally and seriously.
"You care about her very much?!" Murong Jue made a double entendre, his eyes were as calm as before, but his words seemed to stir up a cloud.
"Now that she is my third sister-in-law, it is right for the emperor to care about her!" Murong Zhan said calmly, suppressing the panic in his heart and meeting his dark eyes.
Murong Jue twitched the corners of his mouth when he heard this, not knowing why he was laughing.
"Yes, she is your third sister-in-law. As for Ye Yunmo... I want him to guard Lintong Pass just to ensure that he never returns." Murong Jue said viciously. When he was waiting for Qingcheng to turn around and look at him,
But he never got the results he wanted, which made him jealous of Ye Yunmo and crazy jealous of this man. He thought that if he died, would he be in her eyes?
Murong Jue thought selfishly, but he was not so happy in his heart. He also had worries that others could not see. He was afraid that once Qingcheng knew something happened to Ye Yunmo, she would chase him regardless of her own life like last time.
, will become farther and farther away from yourself...
If something unexpected happens to Ye Yunmo, what will be her reaction? Is it the former that he expects? Or is it the latter that he doesn't want to see?
Murong Jue's eyes were dark, and his heart was as deep as the ocean, making it impossible to see his struggle...
Ye Qingcheng, this woman has become his weakness. The person he once wanted to take revenge on has now become the person he least wants to lose!
He was very confused in his heart. In fact, they had never met each other since Qingcheng woke up. Even if he saw her figure while walking in the corridor of the palace, he would just stand there quietly and look at her for a moment, and then
Walk away silently!
How many times did he really want to walk up to her and shake her awake, telling her that she was his wife now and that there was no possibility of her and Ye Yunmo... But he didn't dare!
He didn't know what he was afraid of, and he didn't know why he suddenly lost the courage to step forward!
Maybe he was afraid of the sadness in her eyes and the silence of the dead lake, maybe... he was afraid that she would tell him that no matter what, she only belonged to Ye Yunmo!
Murong Jue now felt sad in his heart again. His expressionless face left Murong Zhan and Murong Lie beside him speechless.
"If this is what you mean, I will stand by your side. I just hope... you won't regret it!" Murong Zhan was stunned and only said this sentence, then turned and left.
Murong Lie's expression also changed. He looked at Murong Jue, then at Murong Zhan who had already walked out of the hall, and then followed him out.
The departure of the two of them did not improve the dull atmosphere in the hall. Murong Jue was sitting alone, and suddenly a voice resounded in his heart. He was asking: "Will you regret it? Really?"
If he doesn't take this step, he will never know if he will regret it... If he doesn't take this step, he will never know how much his woman loves that man, and whether she will really be together for life and death.
….
Murong Jue was gambling, using Ye Yunmo's life to bet on his future happiness, but maybe he didn't know that there really is a kind of love in this world called - always with you!
When the smooth and stable days come to an end, storms will come!
It has been more than half a month since Yun Mo left the imperial city. The situation at Lintong Pass is relatively stable. We will get battle reports every now and then, but this is only limited to the court.
Qingcheng knew nothing about the situation there. She wanted to ask about Murong Jue several times, but when she saw his figure, she resisted and left...
This man was like a sharp thorn to her. Every touch would make her whole body convulse with pain. If she could choose the chance to meet him, she would rather never see him in her life!
Today, Murong Jue came back from the palace early in the morning. As soon as he entered the door, he asked: "Where is the princess now?"
Manager Li lowered his head and followed him and replied: "In the Royal Garden!"
The only places where Qingcheng could stay in the palace were the Xiang Pavilion and the Imperial Garden. In the early morning, she would go to the Imperial Garden, because Murong was definitely not in the palace, so she would not go there. In the afternoon, she would go to the Xiang Pavilion, and deliberately communicate with her.
He staggered.
Murong Jue knew that she had been avoiding him. In fact, he was angry after he discovered Qingcheng's habit, but gradually he gained peace of mind. He didn't care what she was doing now, as long as she was still with him.
The range of sight, as long as his patience has not been worn away by her indifference, he will wait for the day when she looks back and sees him...
After Murong Jue got the news, he went directly to Yuyuan. Today, whether she wanted to see him or not, he had something to say to her.
"Everyone, please retreat!" Murong Jueping retreated from the guards and Manager Li who were following him, and walked toward the Royal Garden alone.
It didn't take long for him to arrive at the entrance of the imperial garden. The faint fragrance of flowers was floating around, and there were gorgeous flowers swaying everywhere he looked, but their beauty was far less than one ten thousandth of hers!
She is the most beautiful scenery in the imperial garden. Even if there is only a lonely back, she can still attract all the eyes that are still standing...
Steady footsteps came from behind. Qingcheng turned slightly to see him, her expression flashed with a hint of unnaturalness, and then she stood up calmly.
"I have something to say to you, please sit down!" Murong Jue deliberately ignored the stiffness on her face just now, walked to her side and sat down and heard the voice.
Qingcheng pursed her lips and said nothing, but sat down again as he said.
The air here has changed slightly due to his arrival, and the night fragrance that only belongs to him is also floating in the yard from time to time, mixed with the fragrance of these flowers and the light cold fragrance of her body...
Both of them were silent. Murong looked at her carefully and calmly. It had been a long time since he had looked at her like this. She was thinner than before Ye Yunmo left, and she was as white as fat.
The skin also has a hint of sickly paleness...
Murong Jue's heart twisted again, and there was a slight pain, which was his love for her.
"I plan to go to Guanye City tomorrow. If you don't want to go with me, just stay in the mansion. If you feel bored, you can go back to Ye Mansion to stay for a few days!" Murong Jue sat for a while and then said warmly, passing by the thing on the mountain road last time.
Afterwards, he also learned how to talk to her softly.
Qingcheng listened quietly and learned that he would be away for a few days. After being silent for a while, she finally asked: "How long will the prince be away for?"
Her simple question made Murong Jue feel very good. When he came here, he never expected her to talk to him.
"Half Moon!" Murong Jue replied, looking directly at the person in front of him with a pair of eyes as dark as obsidian.
If the time had been longer, if he had waited a little longer, would she have changed her mind?
Murong Jue thought in her heart, looking forward to a bright future for herself!
When Qingcheng heard that he was going to go for so long, she just nodded lightly and said nothing.
"Tonight, I will accompany you to the Fourth Emperor's uncle. He specially organized a banquet for me to practice!" Murong Jue said the word 'accompany', and he no longer spoke to her in a commanding tone like before.
Now he has learned to respect her opinion and no longer force...
"Okay!" Qingcheng agreed, and there was only so much conversation between them. They were as simple as strangers, but this was the least explosive exchange they had ever had!
