Lian Que's gaze was fixed on the room for a long time.
He had mixed feelings.
He had waited for more than 20 years for this man.
He didn't even recognize him.
Everything in it seemed to have disappeared like bubbles.
And he was the only one who remembered all of this!
Thinking of this, he felt nothing but sadness.
He didn't even feel the joy of reuniting after a long time.
Third Uncle heard the emotion in his words, so he got up and walked to him. He patted him on the shoulder and comforted him, "It will be fine. Everything will be fine."
Lian Que's eyes darkened.
He didn't say anything.
…
In order not to attract King Huyi's attention, the Marquis of the Southern Kingdom had to return to the city before the gates closed. Over the years, King Huyi had constantly arranged spies around him. Pairs of eyes were always watching him, just in case he rebelled or plotted against him. However, he had been doing business dutifully for more than 20 years. Although he had the title of Marquis, he had never interfered in the affairs of the court. In fact, he did not even hear or see anything.
He asked.
In the eyes of King Huyi, he was like a completely tamed beast, not threatening at all.
Because of this, he was not on the list of officials that King Huyi had secretly ordered to kill!
But —
If King Huyi's spies knew that he left the city today, and secretly at that, it would definitely cause trouble.
Therefore, he had to return to the city quietly!
Before he left, he told Master San, "Ah Tang, you guys can stay here for the time being. It's very safe here. As for other matters, I'll come find you after I'm done with them. We can discuss it then."
Third Uncle nodded.
He understood what he meant by 'other things'!
Then, the Marquis of the Southern Kingdom looked at Jing Rong and looked him up and down. There was shock and admiration in his eyes. He said, "I didn't expect that the famous Prince Rong of the Great Lin would be standing in front of me. I have met you several times, but I didn't notice you at all. How disrespectful."
Jing Rong smiled. "Since I have the intention to hide my identity, I naturally won't be discovered by you. Otherwise, I would have attracted a lot of trouble on my first day in Huyi." "That's true, but …" The Marquis of the Southern Kingdom said worriedly, "The situation in the future will be extremely dangerous. This path will be filled with thorns, and no one can say how far we can go. After all, this is an internal affair of the Huyi royal family. You are a prince of the Great Lin.
When that time comes, Huyi and Great Lin will inevitably be implicated, and you will be affected as well, so … "" Marquis, you worry too much. Before I came to Huyi, I had already planned everything out and made preparations. If I was afraid of causing trouble, I naturally would not have come. Moreover … "He looked at Ji Yunshu and smiled warmly, then grasped her slender hand." Where is the person I love, how can I have any control? "
The reason to not follow? After experiencing so many life and death situations, there was no need to care about this matter! Even if I have to climb a mountain of swords and plunge into a sea of flames, I will not hesitate. "
He looked at Ji Yunshu with a firm and affectionate expression.
Ji Yunshu met his gaze, and the corners of her eyes couldn't help but moisten.
She knew that the man in front of her was willing to give up his life for her.
That kind of love was selfless.
It was also profound.
Just like how she loved him.
The Marquis of the Southern Kingdom looked at the beautiful couple in front of him, and his heart was filled with relief. He looked at Ji Yunshu and said, "With Prince Rong taking care of Yunshu, as her uncle, I am naturally at ease. I will also leave it to Prince Rong."
When he finished speaking, he raised his hands and bowed to Jing Rong.
Then, he left.
Just as he left, suddenly …
Lang Po asked, "By the way, where is Bai Yin?"
Huh?
Indeed, he was nowhere to be seen.
Where did he go?
Meanwhile, on the other side of the bamboo house.
Bai Yin stood under a large tree.
His face was expressionless.
In an instant, a shadow gradually approached him from behind.
However, it stopped three meters away from him, no longer moving forward.
Bai Yin sensed the person behind him, but remained unmoved. She only asked with her back facing the person, "You already knew?"
Lian Que's grip on his sword tightened. After a long time, he said, "I wasn't sure!"
"Then what about now?"
Lian Que's eyes reddened as he called out, "Ah Jin."
After a while, Bai Yin turned to look at him.
The moment Lian Que's face entered his line of sight, a voice resounded in his mind.
"Lian Que, Lian Que, Lian Que …"
It was the voice of a child.
Over and over again!
He shook his head inwardly to bring himself back to reality.
Then, he said to Lian Que, "I don't remember what happened in the past."
Lian Que's heart trembled.
His nose turned sour.
He slowly raised the sword in his hand and asked, "Don't you remember this sword as well?"
Bai Yin stared at the sword and a ripple of emotion appeared in her eyes.
He shook his head.
He couldn't remember. Lian Que took two steps towards him and said, "Do you remember that day when we were lying on the roof together? I told you that I really liked this sword, but in the blink of an eye, you fell asleep! I thought that you didn't hear what I said, but not long after, you ran to me with this sword.
You begged your Imperial Father and Imperial Mother for a long time to get it, just because … I told you that I liked it. At that time, I took the sword and told you that I would always protect you. "
Bai Yin looked at him.
She continued to listen.
Lian Que's voice choked with sobs. "But I never imagined that when the palace was surrounded by layers upon layers of soldiers, I would be powerless and could only watch helplessly as you disappeared. I didn't fulfill my promise. I've let you down."
Bai Yin immediately said, "No! You didn't let me down. Anyone else would've been powerless to do what happened back then. "
"Ah Jin …"
"Lian Que, I'll remember. Everything … I'll remember," Bai Yin told him firmly.
At that moment, Lian Que's eyes suddenly welled up with tears.
He nodded his head heavily.
He believed that Bai Yin would definitely remember.
…
A horse carriage sped along the forest path towards the city gates.
It finally arrived before the city gates were closed.
There were still many commoners entering and leaving the city gates!
But —
Due to the assassination attempt at Wen Bridge, the entire city was now on high alert.
Hence, everyone entering and leaving the city gates had to be thoroughly checked.
The Marquis of the Southern's horse carriage was stopped.
The guards at the city gates stood next to the horse carriage and asked, "Who are you? What are you doing in the city? "
The coachman replied unhurriedly, "Business, just in time for this."
"What's in the horse carriage?"
"Nothing much, just some goods."
"Open it, we want to inspect it."
Huh?
The Marquis of the Southern's pupils suddenly shrank!
