Murong Jue was already upset, and his face became even colder after meeting her again.
He replied quietly: "Yes!" and then walked forward without stopping.
The smile on Huaying's face was a little stiff, and she felt bitter and sour in her heart when she looked at the man walking past her!
She has been waiting for a long time, and it has been five years since Ye Qingcheng died, but she still cannot be seen in his eyes.
Huaying wanted to go up and ask him how long it would take for him to forget the dead woman? Is it possible for her to live in his heart in this generation?
However, when she took a step forward and wanted to chase him, she hesitated again! She didn't dare. No matter how unwilling she was, she didn't dare to ask him face to face. She was afraid that she wouldn't even have the chance to wait in the end.
Got it!
Huaying looked at his retreating figure, her eyes dimmed!
Murong Jue, who returned to Qingcheng's room, had removed all the frost at this moment. He looked at the spotless place in front of him, and the sadness in his heart was spreading uncontrollably!
The place that was once full of warmth is now only lonely. Where she once was, her shadow can no longer be found!
The appearance of Leng Wuxin today set off a huge wave of emotions in his mind. He had some doubts that he was on the verge of collapse. If not, how could he feel that Qingcheng was by his side? Why had he never felt this way in the past five years?
Did it get more intense after she showed up?
Murong Jue was sitting by the couch. Everything in front of him was so familiar, but the loneliness he had experienced for five years was still very unfamiliar. He didn't want to accept it but had to bear it!
After a long time, he lowered his eyes and lay on the couch, letting his heart be swallowed up and drowned by darkness. He was so tired, really tired...
——Qingcheng, if I go to see you now, will you forgive me?
Murong Jue closed her eyes and asked in her heart, wanting to know if the punishment of these five years was enough?
He was the only one in the quiet room, no one answered him, and no one would answer him...
The next day, when the morning light rises, the sky is filled with fish-belly white light, and the warm warmth shines on people's bodies, which is very comfortable!
Leng Wuxin got up very early. The medicinal materials given to her in the palace were all of the highest quality. After last night's rest, her physical strength had almost recovered, but her face was still a little sickly pale.
"Squeak, squeak..." The little white fox had been barking early in the morning, so Leng Wuxin could only hold it in his hand.
She walked casually in the palace, stopped when she was passing the imperial garden, and her eyes changed when she looked at the scenery inside. The white fox also jumped out of her arms and ran into the garden, letting her
My thoughts were interrupted in an instant!
"Qingcheng!" Leng Wuxin shouted and ran into the garden to look for the little guy.
"Squeak, squeak..." The white fox kept barking. Listening to its cry, Leng Wuxin knew that it liked this place very much. After all, there was one thing in common between this place and the place where she had lived for three years, and that was the sky.
The pear blossoms are flying, as if this is the purest and most sacred place in the world!
Leng Wuxin was also mesmerized by the scene at this moment. How many years has it been? How many years has she not been here? Even if she can build a pear orchard anywhere, after all, there is no place that can compare with this one, and there will never be one.
The place will hold the memories here!
Leng Wuxin stopped calling Qingcheng. She stood in the garden, her slender figure exuding coldness, her black hair flying around her shoulders, making a snapping sound with her clothes!
She closed her eyes and raised her head slightly, raising her hand to catch the falling pear blossoms in the sky. However, this familiar scene made the expression of the man who entered the garden change drastically...
"Qingcheng!" Murong Jue whispered in his throat, then ran towards her and shouted: "Qingcheng!"
However, the moment Leng Wuxin turned around, he stopped in his tracks, and even the look of surprise on his handsome face froze in shock!
His pupils are constricting and there is pain in his eyes!
Leng Wuxin looked at him, and he looked at her blankly, their eyes intersecting with each other, but Murong Jue's eyes were filled with hurricane force, and he shouted: "Who let you in, get out!"
The roar was filled with rage, and the deafening sound made people's hearts tremble violently!
Leng Wuxin's face turned pale, her purple pupils were twinkling. She pursed her lips and ran out without saying anything. She didn't even have time to pick up the white fox on the ground!
"Squeak, squeak..." The little guy thought he was frightened, but he quickly ran out with Leng Wuxin, leaving Murong Jue alone in the imperial garden feeling sad!
——Why not her? Why?
Murong Jue stood stiffly and asked. His heart was very painful. How many years would it take for such a wound to heal? And how long would his punishment last before it was enough?
——Is life worse than death? But now he is worse than life!
"Ah!" Murong Jue cried out, full of regret and pain just like that night in Bailin Valley...
Leng Wuxin, who had already run away, stopped, and the moisture in her eyes caught her off guard. She raised her hand to touch her cheek with a cold expression, and the moisture on her fingertips made her heartstrings twitch. She...
Actually cried?
"Hehe...hehe..." She laughed, looking at her wet fingers and laughing at herself. She had endured the pain for so many years, but today she felt aggrieved and cried because of his roar!
Is it not strong enough? Or is the heart not hard enough?
"Zhizhi..." The little guy followed her all the way, and when she finally stopped, he used his front paws to pick up her trousers to make her notice his presence!
Leng Wuxin took a deep breath to swallow the pain in her heart, squatted down and picked it up, "I'm sorry, I will never leave you behind again!"
She lost her temper just now. She had only been in the palace for a day, and she couldn't control her emotions well. Such a mistake shouldn't happen!
"Squeak, squeak..." The little guy could feel her emotions fluctuating, and her bright black eyes were extremely clear, as if she was the purest creature in the world!
Leng Wuxin smiled, hugged it and walked away gradually!
Sunset was also the time for the royal family to have meals. Murong Jue stayed in the imperial garden today and did not leave until it got dark.
When he was walking aimlessly around the house, he came to the Jiuqu Bridge unknowingly. He looked at the koi carp swimming in groups in the pond, and suddenly felt that the saddest and loneliest person in the world was him.
Got it!
The maids carried exquisite food from the kitchen to the flower dance hall, and a maid came from the direction of the courtyard carrying a medicine bowl. At this time, Murong Bujue's eyes darkened, remembering that Leng Wuxin lived there!
"Stop!" Murong Jueqi shouted to the maid. For some reason he wanted to know why the concoction in the medicine bowl was not moved!
"Your Majesty!" The maid was called by him and immediately lowered her head to wait for his instructions!
"Why didn't you drink it?" Murong Jue asked directly. Although her body was fine, taking more qi-tonifying concoctions was not a bad thing.
"The girl has left!" the maid replied. When she went to deliver the medicine just now, the house was empty and there was nothing left!
"Leave?!" Murong Jue's heart was stabbed, and his eyebrows were deeply furrowed. He thought of the scene in the imperial garden just now. His appearance must have scared her, making her afraid to spend more time where he was.
Stay.
But it’s okay to leave, after all, her presence has made him no longer indifferent many times, as if her presence will make his pretense of indifference collapse in an instant, just like today in Yuyuan!
"Go down!" Murong Jue said in a deep voice, and then walked to his room alone.
The maid replied, holding the medicine bowl and walking in a different direction.
The halo of twilight stretched his figure very long. As the sun set, the shadow on the ground was lonely, as if he would continue to walk like this for the rest of his life...
The days are still passing by day by day, and a topic has recently spread in the imperial city that has been peaceful for a long time, and everyone in the city is aware of it.
It is said that a woman came to the Yanyu Pavilion, the largest brothel in the imperial city, half a month ago. Although no one has seen her appearance, she is good at playing the pipa. Some people even compared her ability to the sensational daughter of the Ye Mansion, Ye Qingcheng.
Compared with his piano skills, it attracted many noble people who came here to admire it!
Murong Lie loved the excitement, and he had never been to the land of fireworks. But now that he heard someone comparing him to his stunning third sister-in-law, he had to come and see who could have such ability!
When the Seventh Prince came here, he naturally treated him as a distinguished guest. The Madam stayed by his side smiling and waiting all night. Unfortunately, Murong Lie refused to accept this trick. He came here tonight for only one purpose.
!
"Mother Sang, I heard that there is a new oiran in your Yanyu Pavilion, and she is very good at playing the piano. How can it be that I, the king, have been waiting so long and no one has shown up? Could it be that I think the money I gave you is not enough, and you want me to do it again?"
Can't we wait?" Murong Lie said slowly, picked up the wine glass and took a sip, with a half-smile on his charming handsome face, making one wonder if he was impatient to wait now!
"Hey, this old slave has ten courages to keep His Highness Prince Qi waiting. Miss Xin'er is preparing now. She will come right away, come right away... Hehe, come on, Your Majesty, have a drink to relieve your anger.
!" Mother Sang said with a sharp tongue and a smile. If you look at her even closer, you can see the thick rouge and gouache falling off her old face!
Murong Lie didn't even look at her. Since he said he would come 'immediately', he would just wait!
Sure enough, Mother Sang didn't lie this time. After a burst of singing and dancing, music sounded from the gauze curtain on the stage. As everyone retreated, another gauze curtain on the stage was opened, and a woman held a pipa for half a year.
The face is covered, the black hair hangs down slightly on the shoulders, and the face is covered with gauze. With so many protections, people can't see this person's true face!
The faint music is smooth and light, and there is a hint of sadness hidden in the coldness. It is really like her to be able to perform this song so empathetically...
Murong Lie watched intently, holding the wine glass in his hand but he hesitated to drink. Seeing how fascinated he was, the Madam beside him was filled with joy. If he can be valued by King Qi, I believe he will get a lot of money later!
There are already countless gold and silver in Mama Sang's eyes waving to her, and her smile is really swaggering, it's obvious!
After playing the song, the woman on the stage stood up and bowed to everyone, her purple eyes catching people's hearts!
"Haha, how is Miss Xin'er's piano skills? Masters, have you heard this? Now let's make a bid. Whoever bids the highest price tonight will get Miss Xin'er!" Mother Sang was very happy. Since then, she has
After this money-spinner, her business in Yanyu Pavilion has improved dozens of times, and she is tired of counting money every day!
"One hundred taels!" Someone had already started shouting. Although they didn't see the woman's face, there were still many young men willing to bid!
"Two hundred taels!" After one person shouted, others began to shout out prices. The atmosphere here was now much more lively than before.
"Four hundred taels"
"..." Mother Sang was already smiling from ear to ear. It must be another big harvest tonight!
"One thousand taels!"
Suddenly someone shouted "One Thousand Liang". Such a high price made everyone look towards the source of the sound. Even Murong Lie, who had been watching the fire from the other side, turned his head and looked away, and his eyebrows were raised slightly without realizing it!
This person is wearing a white brocade robe with blue prints, and his black hair is tied up with a blue ribbon. There is a pearl from the East China Sea that is worth a lot at a glance, and this person's bright star eyes are just looking at the woman on the stage.
The red lips curved into a smile, and this look seemed to say: I’m going to bet on you tonight!
Murong Lie naturally knew this man. He was the son of Shangshu. He was a famous playboy in the imperial city in recent years. However, this man was also principled and did nothing. He was a man!
"One thousand five hundred taels!" Murong Lie also started to bid. If this man became his opponent, he would still be interested in playing!
The man turned his head and his smile deepened, as if Murong Lie's joining could not make him shrink back!
"Two thousand taels!" the man shouted again, and he poured himself a glass of wine and sipped it slowly.
"Two thousand five hundred taels..." Murong Lie didn't show any weakness, thinking that as the son of the emperor, why should he lose to the son of a minister?
"……."
The competition between the two of them has reached a fever pitch. Mother Sang cannot describe her happiness at this moment, but can only express horror and disbelief!
At present, their asking price is about to exceed ten thousand, but it is still unknown whether they are willing to throw ten thousand taels for a woman with fireworks!
"Ten thousand taels!" the man shouted coolly. Even though he was talking about ten thousand taels now, in his eyes, there seemed to be no difference from the one thousand taels just now!
"Fifteen thousand taels!" This shout was not made by Murong Lie. Everyone heard the sound and looked towards the gate. They never thought that the prince of the current dynasty would also come to this place of fireworks!
Murong Zhan walked towards them in a calm stride. Murong Lie naturally looked a little embarrassed and stood up to greet him with a ruffian smile. The man opposite also stood up and saluted him respectfully. This competition has been decided!
If Murong Lie loses, it won't be a big deal, but if someone dares to steal something from the prince, it's not something that can be afforded!
