On the outskirts of Liangdu, on a mountain, a woman in white stood facing the sun. There was a canyon at her feet. Below the canyon, a group of soldiers were marching forward in an orderly manner. Her eyes were wandering around, as if searching for something.
"Miss, did you expect that the Sixth Prince would pass by here?" Qiu Yuan finally caught up, calmed down her breath, and asked the person in front of her.
Yun Yan retracted his gaze, looked at Qiu Yuan, and said lightly: "No, I just wanted to see the strength of the Dongyue Kingdom. Now it seems that I have no worries."
Qiu Yuan smiled, looked at the long queue below, and said to herself: "With so many people, you don't know where the Sixth Prince is? But it doesn't matter. If the Sixth Prince knows that you are back, he will come over soon.
See you, I'll go down below to find the Sixth Prince." As she said that, she turned around to leave.
"He is not among these people!" Yun Yan grabbed Qiu Yuan and shook his head at her, "Let's go back to Liangdu." With that, she walked directly down the mountain.
Not there? Qiu Yuan looked at the mighty team below in surprise. Didn't the Sixth Prince just set off? How could he not be there? But looking at the appearance just now, the young lady's expression was filled with joy. Why was that?
Seeing that Yun Yan was walking further and further away, she quickly caught up with him.
In Liangdu, because the late emperor passed away and was still in the state of mourning, the city was deserted and the streets were not as lively as before. Inside the carriage, Yun Yan opened the curtain and looked at the scene around him.
The scene in Du suddenly came to mind. It was obviously three months ago, but she felt as if a long time had passed. Thinking about it carefully, the first time she came here with resentment, but this time, it really felt like going home.
.
Linglong Pavilion has been closed during this period due to the absence of Qiu Yuan and others, and Yunyan does not plan to return to Linglong Pavilion. After all, her identity as the Seventh Young Master is no longer a secret to some people. If she returns to Linglong Pavilion, the target
It is too big, and there are many properties belonging to her in Kuangliang City, so it is not difficult to find a secluded place to live.
There is a separate courtyard in the city. There is no one in the courtyard. This is the most inconspicuous place among Yunyan's many properties in Liangdu, and it is also the safest place.
"Sixth sister-in-law, why do we have to live here? Now that sixth brother is the prince, we can go back to the palace." Mu Zhaoyang looked at the courtyard in front of him. Although it was very clean and tidy, the palace was naturally better than here, and
The mother-in-law is also in the palace.
Yunyan walked in the front. Because she was afraid of being recognized when she entered the city, she covered her face with a veil. When she first covered her veil, she unconsciously remembered the time when Mu Jingnan gave her a gift for the first time.
I just gave him a box of veils. Unexpectedly, one day, she would use them.
As if he knew what Mu Zhaoyang was thinking, Yun Yan said calmly: "I know you are worried about your mother and concubine, but it is not suitable for you to return to the palace now. In the eyes of the world, the war between Nanyao Kingdom and Dongyue Kingdom is the fuse.
It’s your marriage to Yan Lingxiao. If you show up now, the soldiers and civilians of the South Yao Kingdom will be even more convinced that you have regretted your marriage and that the East Yue Kingdom has broken its promise and insulted their king. Such words will be detrimental to the morale of our army."
Hearing this, Mu Zhaoyang nodded. After experiencing so many things, she also knew that she could not be too willful. If she was worried, no one could compare to Sixth Sister-in-law.
"Miss, you need to rest first. Let's prepare some delicious food first. Everyone hasn't eaten well these days." Qiu Yuan stepped forward and said.
Yun Yan nodded, "You should go about your business, but be sure not to go out at will, especially you, Zhaoyang. I have wronged you to stay here during this period."
"No grievance, I can stay here as long as Sister-in-law Six can stay!" Mu Zhaoyang said, patting his chest.
On the side, Qiu Yuan and Bishui couldn't help laughing. Because of getting along with each other in the past few days, the relationship between the three of them has become better and better. Yunyan smiled and then walked directly towards the room on the far left. She really needed to take a rest now.
.
As soon as the door was closed, Yunyan put one hand on the door to keep herself from falling. She shook her head. She was indeed too tired these days. She gently stroked her abdomen. Fortunately, she felt peaceful inside. The pain in her heart was
The pain was not obvious. She slowly moved to the couch, sat down, and adjusted her breathing.
In the imperial palace, because Mu Jingnan left Liangdu, the political affairs of the court were also handed over to Yun Mocheng and other senior ministers. Therefore, it was easier for Yun Mocheng to enter the palace than before.
Beside a rockery, Yun Mocheng looked at the person blocking his way in front of him, suddenly smiled and said, "I have met the Second Prince."
Mu Kexiang glanced at Yun Mocheng and said calmly: "Just after seeing off the prince, Prime Minister Yun came to the palace to help me. He is really the pillar of my East Yue."
"The second prince said something serious. I am just following the prince's will and serving the country." Yun Mocheng stood up and said with a smile.
"In that case, I will not disturb Yun Xiang." As he said that, Mu Kexiang glanced at the rockery beside him and walked straight ahead.
Yun Mocheng's eyebrows moved slightly, and he said with a smile: "Farewell to the Second Prince." He slowly raised his head and watched the person go away.
Not long after Mu Kexiang left, a figure came out from behind the rockery.
"Dad, did the Second Prince discover something?" Yun Hong said, looking ahead warily.
Yun Mocheng's eyes darkened slightly and he said, "I don't know. This man rarely participates in government affairs. My father can't see through him. Moreover, this time Mu Jingnan ascended to the position of crown prince, he also contributed to the situation."
"Now that something big is about to happen, what should we do about him?" Yun Hong said in a low voice.
Shaking his head slightly, Yun Mocheng said in a low voice: "What are you afraid of? He has no power and power and cannot be a threat."
Yun Hong nodded, but after thinking about it, he suddenly said: "Dad, I heard from the prince before that Yan'er is fine. Do you have any news about her?"
Hearing this, Yun Mocheng frowned and shouted: "Big things are happening right now, so don't have other distracting thoughts. My father will leave first." After saying this, he walked directly forward.
Looking at the departing figure, he didn't know when his back started to become a little rickety. Yun Hong sighed in his heart, his father was really old.
In the afternoon, Yunyan took a nap, ate some food after waking up, and regained a lot of strength.
Night had fallen unknowingly, the door was opened, and Yun Yan walked into the courtyard alone, looking up at the sky. The sky was filled with darkness, and the moon had disappeared. Suddenly, she jumped directly onto the eaves.
"How long have you been here?" Yun Yan looked ahead and said calmly.
In the darkness ahead, a dark figure walked out. As he approached, his knife-carved face gradually became clearer by the light of the lamp.
Looking at the woman opposite, a glimmer of light flashed in Ji Lengxue's eyes, and the hand holding the wine bottle trembled. However, just for a moment, he walked up to her, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he said lightly: "It won't be long."
Yun Yan smiled slightly, looked at the wine bottle in Ji Lengxue's hand, and said with a smile: "You came to me for a drink? I was just about to drink too!" After saying that, she turned around and sat down directly on the eaves.
Seeing Yun Yan sit down, Ji Lengxue also sat down next to her.
The atmosphere seemed to be frozen for some reason. Maybe it was too quiet at night, or maybe so many things had happened, and many of my thoughts were different from before.
"Are you okay?" Ji Lengxue looked ahead and said suddenly.
Yun Yan pursed his lips slightly and said calmly: "I'm fine. I told you in the letter before that the toxins in my body have been temporarily suppressed and it's no big deal. I'm just a little tired these days. I'll be fine after a few days of rest.
.”
"That's good!" Ji Lengxue raised her head and took a sip of wine, the faint light in her eyes flashed away.
"You helped me again this time, otherwise Jingnan wouldn't have gone so smoothly. At least he doesn't have to worry about my safety. Thank you for your hard work." Yun Yan looked at Ji Lengxue and said gratefully.
Hearing these words, a trace of sadness flashed across Ji Lengxue's eyes. He twitched the corner of his mouth and said lightly: "No need, this is what I should do!"
Yun Yan looked ahead, the smile on his face gradually dissipated, "Leng Xue, do you remember? The year Tingxue Tower was first established, in order to make Tingxue Tower rise quickly, the two of us worked side by side to destroy the largest company at that time.
A killer organization?"
After hearing this, Ji Lengxue glanced at the woman beside him, nodded and said, "Remember." Then he looked ahead, a trace of warmth appeared on his knife-carved face. How could he not remember that time?
He was attacked by someone, and with that sword stabbing him, he was afraid that his life would be lost. But at that critical moment, a woman came over with a sword. She was stabbed five or six times in a row, but she managed to save her.
Got him.
Yun Yan suddenly stood up and looked into the distance, "I know you are grateful to me for saving your life back then, but Leng Xue, you also saved me and helped me several times. If you count, we don't owe each other anything. But sometimes
People are always blinded by their own feelings and think that is love."
Don't owe each other? Feeling? Ji Lengxue's hand holding the wine bottle tightened, and his deep eyes followed her gaze, falling into the distance, and all the light melted into the boundless darkness.
"What you can't get is always the best. However, people often lose their most precious things because of the things they can't get. Just like Mu Qingyuan, just like you now, Bishui still has you in her heart, you
Carefully recalling every moment of being with her, even if it is not spectacular, at least it will last forever." Yun Yan's voice gradually lowered, "People always regret when they lose something, I hope you don't do this."
Ji Lengxue looked forward and said indifferently: "I think you misunderstood. I remember I told you that the ultimate purpose of staying with you is the promise, to defeat you with my own hands and gain freedom. As for Bishui, she is suitable
That Xiao Yao who obeyed her words. I am a killer. You know, feelings are fatal to killers. My biggest goal in life is to become the number one killer in this world. Before that, everything I had was
It’s to defeat you and make you convinced of your defeat.” He held the wine bottle in his hand tightly, but this action seemed more unconscious.
Looking at Ji Lengxue's cold look, Yun Yan was stunned for a moment. After a while, her expression moved slightly, and she nodded and said: "So, I'm overthinking it. Leng Xue, don't worry, as long as I can live until that time, I will
We must abide by our agreement."
"It's a deal!" Ji Lengxue's voice was still cold, but if you look closely at his expression, he seemed to be trying his best to hide something.
"It's a deal!" Yun Yan looked at the night, smiled slightly, and said, "It's getting late, I'll go back and rest first." After saying that, she turned around and jumped off the eaves.
Ji Lengxue maintained the same movement, holding the wine bottle and looking ahead. She vaguely heard the sound of the door closing not far away, and then there was a "bang" sound and the sound of something breaking.
The blood on her hands fell drop by drop, onto the broken porcelain pieces at her feet, mixing with the wine on them, but Ji Lengxue seemed to be completely unaware, staring straight ahead.
At this moment, a green figure suddenly appeared on the eaves. Looking at the man in black in front of her, tears fell from the corners of the woman's eyes and she cried silently. She bit her lip tightly, her expression full of pain.
