Tang Yuehua was sitting in the reception hall, quietly waiting for Qian Renxue and Lingtian.
She actually wanted to ask Lingtian for questioning just after the court meeting, but because Lingtian and the others were called away by Xue Ye at that time, she could only leave the palace first and go to the Prince's Mansion to wait for their return.
As a teacher of aristocratic etiquette in the Tiandou Empire, Tang Yuehua's image has always been full of aristocratic temperament, but at this moment, there was a rare look of eagerness in her beautiful eyes.
At the same time, his fingertips touched the earring on his right ear from time to time, wondering what he was thinking about.
"Aunt Yuehua must have been waiting for a long time."
At this moment, Qian Renxue walked into the hall and explained a little apologetically: "I just wasted some time in the palace, please don't blame Aunt Yuehua."
"I can't blame His Highness for my unexpected visit."
Tang Yuehua stood up and came forward, her beautiful eyes looking closely at Lingtian behind Qian Renxue.
Complex emotions were flowing in his eyes.
In Lingtian, she seemed to see the shadow of that person...
"Um?"
Sensing Tang Yuehua's gaze for the first time, Lingtian was slightly startled, because from Tang Yuehua's gaze, he felt a similar feeling to when Ning Yu looked at him before.
It's like looking at your own child?
In addition, there is this different feeling.
Lingtian didn't understand why Tang Yuehua looked at him like this.
It's only the second time that he and she have met, so logically speaking, he shouldn't have such a reaction, right?
Qian Renxue, who was standing in front of Lingtian, was also secretly surprised when she saw the absent-minded Tang Yuehua.
"What's wrong with her?"
You must know that as a special agent for the interests of the aristocracy, Tang Yuehua can't find any fault in his work. Why did he make such a simple mistake today?
What happened to make her distracted?
"Aunt Yuehua?"
"..."
Seeing that she didn't come back to her senses for a long time, Qian Renxue could only remind her: "Ahem. Aunt Yuehua, please sit down first. If anything happens, we can sit down and talk about it."
"Hmm...ok."
Tang Yuehua also realized that he had just been distracted.
Finally, he took a deep look at Lingtian and then sat down in his original position.
Lingtian also followed Qian Renxue and sat on the seat next to him. At the same time, he looked at Tang Yuehua with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.
…………
After all three people were seated, Qian Renxue asked the servants to bring tea.
After the servants had filled their teacups, Qian Renxue asked, "I wonder, Aunt Yuehua, why did you come to the Prince's Mansion this time?"
"Qinghe, I am here for the Sky Ice King today." Tang Yuehua did not mince words and said straightforwardly.
Qian Renxue was slightly startled, "Lingtian?"
"Um?"
Lingtian also looked at him, Tang Yuehua, with confusion. He had only met her once, so why did she say that she came here for her own sake.
Just when both of them were full of doubts, Tang Yuehua's eyes looked at Lingtian again.
"Heavenly Ice King..."
After a moment of silence, Tang Yuehua's eyes moved slightly and he looked at Lingtian again, "Did you say in the court that you were adopted by Wu...Wu Qu?"
"Well, I was raised by the old man." Lingtian nodded.
A trace of hesitation flashed in Tang Yuehua's eyes, and she asked softly: "Then he...has she told you something about...other things?"
"Master Tang Xuan, do you... know the old man?" Lingtian suddenly thought of something and narrowed his eyes to look at Tang Yuehua.
"...Well, I know Wu Qu. We were also...good friends back then. He was the first friend I met in Tiandou City. When I left Haotian Sect, I wanted to find him in Tiandou City...but wait for me
When we arrived at Tiandou City, we found that the entire Wu family had been ransacked, and there was no news about Wu Qu."
Tang Yuehua introduced the relationship between the two as so-called friends.
But whether Jue Ti was a friend or some other relationship, only Tang Yuehua and the late Wu Qu knew.
Lingtian didn't care about Tang Yuehua's vague explanation on the relationship between the two, but asked, "So, Master Tang Xuan, you came to me today because you want to know about the old man?"
After hesitating for a moment, Tang Yuehua summoned up the courage and asked, "Well, Wu Qu, is he okay?"
"The old man has passed away."
Looking at Tang Yuehua who looked expectant, Lingtian sighed, "Before I became a soul master, the old man passed away... It has been seven years now."
"..."
Tang Yuehua trembled all over and covered her mouth with her hands, looking at Lingtian with a pair of beautiful eyes in disbelief.
Go...died?
The person she has been waiting for for so many years has died long ago?
She has been waiting for so many years, waiting day after day, but she did not expect that good people have already been separated from each other, and in the end she only received news of her death...
Maybe Wu Qu has forgotten him a long time ago?
That’s right, we’ve only known each other for less than half a year, how could he, a young master from an aristocratic family, remember...
Tang Yuehua couldn't accept it, and two lines of tears fell from the corners of her eyes.
"Master Tang Xuan?"
"Aunt Yuehua?"
The concerned calls from the two men brought Tang Yuehua back to her senses.
She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, her eyes were slightly red, and she looked at the two of them apologetically, "I'm sorry for being a little rude. I didn't expect that guy to be really..."
Seeing Tang Yuehua's reaction, it was obviously better than ordinary friends.
Lingtian felt slightly suspicious in his heart, and suddenly thought of the similar earrings he saw at the banquet.
Thinking of this, Lingtian subconsciously raised his head, looked at Tang Yuehua's right ear, and saw the similar earring at a glance.
With a thought in his mind, Lingtian took out the earrings given by the old man.
He lowered his head and looked at the one in his hand, then raised his head and looked at Tang Yuehua.
Same……
Although I didn't hold it in my hands for comparison, I can tell it apart with my eyesight.
These two earrings are indeed the same.
"Master Tang Xuan, were you familiar with the old man back then?"
"Um."
Tang Yuehua nodded lightly.
"Huh?"
Lingtian pretended to see Tang Yuehua's earrings inadvertently, and then asked casually: "Master Tang Xuan's earrings don't all come in pairs, why are you wearing one earring today?"
"..."
After hearing this, Tang Yuehua raised her hand and touched her earrings.
After a moment of silence, a complicated look flashed in her beautiful eyes.
"This earring... was given to me by a friend of mine. I didn't expect it to be a thing of the past."
Originally, when others asked about this matter, Tang Yuehua never explained it, but because Lingtian had some relationship with Wu Qu, she just explained it casually.
This person has passed away, and this earring has no meaning...
