Chapter 117

  After finishing, she pulled Mu Rong's hand and said, "Mu Rong, mentioning the Emperor, I must write a letter to him immediately. He was very sad when he knew you were missing. If he knows you're back, I don't know how happy he'll be. The He Yi Garden was designed by the Emperor himself in the past. Many people wanted to live there, even the Father Emperor wanted to change it into a temporary palace, but the Emperor never agreed. Now that our grandmother has given it to us, I'm afraid even the Father Emperor is envious."

  Meng Wanlu stood silently, not making a sound. After a while, she suppressed her anger and sadness, and said faintly: "Wanlu thanks Grandmother for her kindness, Wanlu will definitely guard this place well and wait for the Fourth Prince to return." After finishing speaking, she raised her eyes to look at Murong Feng, still with a faint tone, faint hatred, not revealing her true feelings, and lightly said: "Miss Murong, it seems that we really can't coexist because of one man. As long as Wanlu is here, the Fourth Prince will never be yours alone. Given time, I will definitely become the only one in the Fourth Prince's heart!"

  I recall the words of that thin old man, could it be that this woman is her calamity in the Daxing dynasty? But if she can love Sima Rui, even if she becomes a beautiful mermaid, what's the use? Turning into foam and losing her life, what's the use? As long as she can love, anything is fine!

  Yan Yu walked over with Chun Liu, who had heard that the young lady was back and first cried like a person made of tears. Then she insisted on coming to see the young lady herself. Although it was difficult for her to take steps, she still gritted her teeth and crawled step by step until she reached Mu Rong Feng's side. When she really saw Mu Rong Feng, a cry escaped from her throat, "Young Lady!", She had already been crying so hard that she couldn't speak, but she also smiled, enduring the intense pain.

  "Spring Willow." Murong Feng caught Spring Willow just as she was about to kneel down, anxiously asking, "Yan Yu, what's wrong with her? Why is she like this?"

  "It's just that I offended the new crown princess," Yan Yu said coldly. "She was beaten until her clothes were stuck to her skin, and her flesh was a mess. I couldn't bear to clean her wounds, but after applying Empress Lihua's medicine, she's much better now. Last night was truly pitiful, she barely made it through the night, but she's just a young girl, fortunately someone had mercy on her."

  "Meng Niang——" Murong Feng turned around lightly, "I won't discuss right or wrong for now. Even if my slave has committed a crime, considering you are the beloved of the person I love, shouldn't you be more lenient? You actually dared to do such a thing, just because Chun Liu is my slave, it makes me feel cold in my heart. Even if I, Murong Feng, didn't come back, I wouldn't have put my mind at ease with you taking care of Sima Rui in the future. Now that I'm back, let's not mention who came first or last, who took precedence, but just follow one's heart. I want to see, after this period of time, who will Sima Rui truly care about! I deeply love him and won't allow anyone to harm him. As long as I love him, I'll accompany him and never leave before him. Let's see how you, Meng Niang, will respond!"

  Meng Wanlu's heart skipped a beat. This woman loved Sima Rui no less than she did, and for some reason, she felt a hint of fear in her heart. However, if she retreated, not only would she lose the power to love Sima Rui, but she would also be unworthy of being Meng University's daughter. How could she admit defeat? It was just the beginning, and slowly but surely, she didn't believe that Sima Rui wouldn't have any sympathy for her.

  "Maple." Sima Rui's emotions were indescribable, this woman was truly worth him dedicating his life to. No wonder the Emperor said that meeting Maple was his good fortune, what virtues or abilities did he, Sima Rui, possess to be deeply loved by Murong Feng?

  He Yi Garden, a quiet early summer evening. The courtyard is dense with trees and fragrant flowers, peaceful and serene.

  The Empress Dowager personally issued an edict, instructing people to hang a handwritten placard on the gate of Heyi Garden, knowing that Murong Feng was back, and many people would want to see her, such as Murong Xuan and Murong Xue, who were probably anxious. However, Sima Rui and Murong Feng had not seen each other for more than half a year, and they must have had a lot to talk about and many emotions to express.

  So, hang up the bright red lanterns, implying celebration, and suspend the golden plaque of "do not disturb" high up. Anyone who wants to see Murong Feng can only wait until the "do not disturb" plaque is removed.

  Suddenly a strong wind rose in the evening, and a summer rain came in an instant. After passing through the willows of spring, I had already applied the medicine of Empress Lü, sometimes it was light and sometimes not, but one could not help saying that this Wūméng country is truly a paradise for medicinal herbs. Some medicines, even if placed in the 21st century, are merely imagined.

  Murong Feng bathed and changed into a light, plain silk dress, her long hair falling to her shoulders, feeling peaceful and sweet. Now guarding the one she loves, happiness is so real.

  Simarui heard the raging storm outside, but his current mood was either liking or loving, without a hint of sadness. It's best this way, all the thoughts have turned into two people accompanying each other for life, and he didn't feel any suffering.

  Gently holding Murong Feng's hand, smiling at her, seeing her blushing face and shallow joy, only to see tears in each other's eyes. The kiss was lightly imprinted on those deep eyes, the hot and salty tears had unspeakable thoughts, as if they had smoothed out all the sadness and longing in Sima Rui's heart. That warm body quietly nestled into his arms, soft and listening to each other's heartbeat, silent for a moment.

  It's been a long time, I don't know, all I know is that the wind and rain outside are getting bigger and more violent, all my thoughts at this moment have turned into an unwillingness to let go of each other. Sima Rui lowered his head, looking at Murong Feng's face, his eyes still had a hint of worry and tears, he looked at her, word by word, saying: "Feng'er, in this life, you are my wife, in the next life, you will still be my wife, I want us to be together for all eternity, never mentioning separation again. If you want to leave, remember to take me with you, from now on, you are me, and I am you."

  Murong Feng nodded gently and said softly: "Simarui, I love you."

  A kiss, sealed all the words, everything, freely flowing in the wind and rain, everything beautiful, coexisting with heaven and earth. This night, there will be no more sorrow or pain, this night, there will be no more helpless longing for something that has lost its way, this night, love is all-encompassing.

  Embracing each other and falling asleep together, holding the hand of a loved one and drifting off to sleep to the sound of their breathing, what great happiness it is, what a joyful thing.

  From then on, there is always the breath of loved ones by your side, no longer alone.

  Entwined, entangled, as if the world was only open for the two of them, they freely and joyfully savored their sweetness.

  Until the early morning, the rain still didn't stop. Two people in love were lazily lying in bed, neither wanting to get up, just wanting to hold each other like this until the end of time, without feeling any annoyance.

  What the world says is right or wrong, what should and shouldn't be, let them all go to one side, as long as you love, it's fine. Murong Feng thought, love is just that unreasonable! Confused or selfish, let it be, let it go.
