Loving you for 106 years across thousands of miles

  Watching Meng Wanlu walk in gently and stand beside the bed, looking at Sima Rui, she also stretched out her hand to gently stroke Sima Rui's face. In her heart, there was a sharp pain. How could she be like this?

  But what can she do? She is now unable to do so, living in another time and space. Being able to come back and see him like this may already be a blessing from above. What more can she ask for?

  Meng Wanlu sat down gently on the bedside, staring blankly at Sima Rui. Her slender hands softly and quietly stroked Sima Rui's face. In her heart, she was filled with happiness. No matter how this man treated her, his figure had already occupied her entire heart, filling it to the brim. As long as she could look at him, it was an inexpressible happiness for her. Only when he fell asleep could she gaze at him like this, listening to his breathing and collecting happiness.

  Wang Bao saw it from the side and quietly walked away. As the saying goes, "Those who take things from others will be short-handed, and those who eat from others' mouths will be short-mouthed." This is indeed true. Meng Wanluo was a generous person, and in order to see the Fourth Prince, she had not hesitated to put things into his hands. He originally didn't want them, but after one or two times, he couldn't bear to refuse anymore. Having accepted the gifts, he had to take care of her a bit. But if Smoke Jade and Spring Willow were to find out, it would definitely not end well.

  Wang Bao was not a greedy person. Following the Fourth Prince, he received a considerable amount of silver every month, and with the Fourth Prince's reputation to back him up, he had indeed avoided many troubles.

  Almost collided with a person, scaring him to tremble, and rebuked in a low voice: "Who is it? Standing here at midnight, looking for death or not?" - Yan, Smoke Jade Girl.

  Yan Yu coldly gazed at him, saying: "How is it that Miss Meng has been so easily entering and exiting the Fourth Prince's chambers these days? Even a while ago, she could climb onto his bed. There must be someone on the inside helping her; otherwise, how would a weak woman like her be able to get close to Sima Rui, who has already given up on life?"

  Wang's heart skipped a beat, and his mouth stuttered uncontrollably, "Yan, Yan Yuguang, it's so late, why haven't you slept yet?"

  Yan Yu hummed softly and said coldly, "I was just wondering about this. With the Fourth Prince's excellent martial skills, he actually let someone without any martial arts skills gain the upper hand. It's really too strange. So, you're a mastermind behind the scenes, huh? Wang Bao, your audacity is getting bigger and bigger, daring to play tricks on your lord. Just wait and see, I'll report back to Her Majesty the Empress Dowager and flay you alive."

  "Miss Yan Yu, I'm innocent!" Wang Bao hastily said, "Please listen to my explanation first."

  Yan Yutou's head turned, "Pfft, can you still spit out ivory from your mouth? Empress Li has already stopped the medicine for the Fourth Prince, it's just that the Fourth Prince himself is heartless, so the medicine is slow to take effect, and he won't recover immediately. But even if that's the case, the Fourth Prince wouldn't be unaware of someone entering his room. Meng Wanlu is just a weak woman, where did she get such skills? If it wasn't for you meddling inside, it would be impossible for her to do this. Today, you actually let her in again, letting her cause chaos, truly unbelievable."

  "Yan Yu, I'm also kind-hearted," Wang Bao said with difficulty. "Although I accepted some bribes, it's not just because of these bribes. I think our master is quite pitiful. Since the fourth prince's concubine left, the fourth prince has been depressed and unhappy. As a man, he needs someone to comfort him. This Meng girl, although her appearance and character can't compare to the fourth prince's concubine, she's not too bad either. Compared to the other prince's concubines, she's above average in terms of looks and talent. Moreover, she's the daughter of Meng University Scholar and has been well-versed in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting since childhood. She's also devoted to our master with all her heart. Although there's no feeling now, who knows if it will develop over time? Maybe things will get better slowly."

  Yan Yu looked at Wang Bao with anger and said: "You really have the nerve, daring to make decisions for Master! Do you think you can decide on Fourth Prince's affairs? You're truly uneducated! That night's events already broke Chun Liu's heart, she even took an axe to chop up the bed and set the house on fire. Fourth Prince didn't say anything, it was because he still had feelings for Fourth Princess, he also didn't want anyone to replace her. You are... too despicable!"

  Wang Bao did not utter a word.

  "If the Fourth Prince's consort were to return, you would definitely be the first one she wouldn't let off scot-free. You have a big nerve to stay in our household and raise a mistress for your master. If I don't strip you of your skin, you won't remember the lesson!" Yan Yu said hatefully.

  "The fourth prince's consort is already gone, so stop deceiving yourselves." Wang Bao sighed and said, "You don't consider the master's feelings at all. Since the fourth prince's consort left, what has he become? If you truly care about the fourth prince, then never mention anything related to the fourth prince's consort again, and let him live out his own days in peace. Even if he doesn't marry Meng girl now, one day he will marry another woman, and eventually, there will be a new crown princess in this place."

  Yan Yu nodded, "Your words are reasonable, but your actions are not. Whether or not there is a new fourth prince's consort is the fourth prince's own business, what does it have to do with you? You're quite good at matchmaking, take this Meng girl for example, even if she were a heavenly fairy, in my Yan Yu's eyes, she's nothing special. If she wants to marry the fourth prince, she'll have to pass through our servants' test first. Tomorrow I'll go back to Empress Dowager and see which department is short-staffed, and directly assign you to fill the gap."

  "Yanyu girl!" Wang Bao hastily said, "I really am thinking for the good of the Fourth Prince, don't go tell Empress Dowager, you also know that Empress Dowager has always doted on the Fourth Prince's consort, if she finds out, she will definitely not forgive me. From now on, I won't let Meng girl get close to the Fourth Prince again, if there is a next time, it won't be too late for you to go find Empress Dowager."

  Yan Yu snorted in her nose, looked at Wang Bao and said coldly: "Don't think that just because you are the fourth prince's person, you can be lawless. I, Yan Yu, don't take orders from you first of all. If you want to do good for your master, take care of him properly and don't stir up trouble. Also, watch what you say, have you seen the corpse of the fourth prince's consort with your own eyes? Or did you witness the scene of the fourth prince's consort passing away? You should be certain before making such a statement that the fourth prince's consort is gone. Even if the fourth prince's consort really has passed away, it's not up to you to say so."

  Wang Bao didn't dare make a sound.

  "Go and get that Meng girl out of the house, what's going on? It's the middle of the night, a young unmarried girl running to a man's room, what kind of propriety is this. And they say she's a talented and virtuous lady, honestly..." Smoke Jade said unhappily.

  "Yes." Wang Bao didn't dare say more and hastily turned around to invite Meng Wanlu out.

  Bai Min looked, listened and thought, she must find a way to come back. She liked the life here, although simple but rich in content, she liked the people here, the things here, the scenery here, everything here, most importantly, there was Sima Rui here.
