The war is not over, the Northern Wei is at its peak, how can Murong Qi be willing to leave? Huai Yu shook his head: "I have no choice but to take her, I couldn't defeat her."

  Lu Jingxing felt a little desperate, his eyes like autumn wind blowing through branches, a bleak and desolate scene.

  Hua Yu secretly found it amusing that a person as radiant and elegant as herself could be driven to the point of being notorious by Murong Qi in just a few short months.

  "It's actually you who is too afraid of her." She said, "Look at ordinary girls, being teased and then ignored by you, which one has been entangled with you all the time?"

  "I'd dare to use my methods on her." Lu Jinghang sighed, "As for Dong Jin's Bai Hua Jun, if she's not in a good mood, I wouldn't even have a place to reason with her."

  "Don't worry, don't worry." Li Huaiyu waved his hand. "Although Murong Qi is a person who doesn't talk about reason, she's straightforward. If you provoke her, she'll only deal with you personally and won't implicate your store or family property."

  "Really?"

  "Really!"

  For some reason, Lu Jinghang gained a bit of confidence and tapped his palm with the fan: "Then I'll know what to do."

  She chuckled twice. Li Huaiyu subconsciously stretched out her hand to touch the jade carving, but ended up touching nothing, she felt a bit uncomfortable and sighed: "Today seems like I haven't seen that thing all day."

  The people in the car were startled, and Chi Jin stood up and said, "Today's weather is not bad."

  She lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked outside, then frowned: "It's cloudy."

  "It's not the right time now, so it's cloudy. By dusk, there will definitely be a red glow all over the sky."

  Li Huaiyu's eyes flickered as he glanced at them: "You all seem a bit strange today."

  "What's wrong?" Lu Jing said calmly, "Everyone is still their usual selves."

  She raised an eyebrow, stretched out her hand to support her chin: "The usual Akane wouldn't say so many words, the usual you wouldn't have so much free time to accompany me to release the bear, and the usual Hatsune. When speaking, they would all look into my eyes."

  The three of them jumped in unison, and Xu Chuyi said softly, "I'm a bit tired today."

  "Red Gold Lowered His Eyes: 'I'm Afraid You'll Be Bored.'"

  Lu Jinghang looked up at the car roof: "I'm free anyway."

  "Good, very good, that makes sense." Give them a round of applause. Li Huaiyu's smile was insincere, "Then may I ask, where did Si Hai go? In the past, whenever I went out, he would follow me."

  The carriage fell silent.

  Lin Si Hai, who was locked up in the prison cart, suddenly had his bear skin torn off by Chi Jin, and before he could ask what happened, he was taken to the horse carriage at the foot of the palace.

  "See, I didn't lie to you?" Lu Jinghang wiped away his cold sweat and said, "The person has been following behind us all along."

  Lin Si Hai stood up with a bewildered expression and bowed his hands in greeting.

  She glanced at him twice. Huai Yu smiled and said: "It's just that I'm being overly cautious, let's go, continue climbing the mountain."

  "Yes."

  The curtain fell, and the people outside were so miserable that they had to re-tie the dismantled bear skin, exhausting a group of people to the point of near death, barely managing to tie it back into a bear shape before reaching the mountain waist.

  Li Huaiyu was smiling all the way, but when she got off at her destination, she stood still and didn't move.

  "The bear" was taken down by them, tied to a bamboo pole and carried into the forest, Qing Si carefully asked: "Does your highness want to go take a look?"

  "It's too dangerous." Chi Jin hastily said, "Your Highness can just watch from here."

  "That makes sense, Your Highness can leave now." Lu Jinghang also kept making eye contact with Qing Si, but since His Highness didn't say he wanted to follow, who would take the initiative to mention it?

  Hua Yu turned her head, the smile on her face unabated, a pair of almond eyes swept over the group of people beside her, following Chi Jin's words: "Yes, it's too dangerous."

  Everyone had just felt a sense of joy, but she continued to say: "I really went to see, what if the four seas are not like bears? Wouldn't I have discovered that you were all deceiving me?"

  The wind swept through the forest. The surroundings were instantly silent.

  Lu Jinghang looked at her with a bit of disbelief, then awkwardly turned his head away. Xu Chunian's face flushed red, and Qing Si was even more flustered: "Your Highness?"

  Hua Yu smiled slightly and stood in the crowd, scanning around her, asking them: "Who will tell me the truth? Is there something big going on that makes you all so anxious?"

  She paused for a moment, her throat slightly tight: "Is something wrong with Jiang Jing?"

  "It's not that serious," Xu Chuyan said softly, waving his hand. "Everyone just saw that you've been unhappy lately, so they wanted to think of ways to cheer you up."

  The sun was setting in the west, and the dark clouds were getting thicker, casting a gloomy shadow on Li Huaiyu's face. She didn't speak, her lips pursed, and her figure looked somewhat slender.

  Lu Jingxing couldn't bear it anymore, inserted the fan into his waistband, stretched out his hand and took the box from Qing Si's hand, handing it to her: "Anyway, you can't hide it, take a look yourself."

  The box that should have been heavy felt surprisingly light in her hands, and Huai Yu was taken aback. She opened the box to take a look: "Where's the jade carving?"

  "It was broken when you fell asleep yourself." Lu Jinghang said in a bad tone, "Afraid that you would think wildly, so everyone thought of ways to deceive you, it wasn't Jiang Xuan's accident, but just a jade carving."

  Blinking her eyes repeatedly, Hua Yu finally let out a sigh and said somewhat helplessly: "Can't you just tell me directly? Do I have to be kept in the dark about this too?"

  Everyone was stunned.

  She carelessly closed the box and laughed, "I was so scared that I thought there was some bad news from the front, but it turned out to be just a broken jade carving. And it's still me who broke it myself. With such thick fur wrapping around you, aren't you hot?"

  Looking at her expression, he was certain that she wasn't really upset. Chi Jin let out a sigh of relief and couldn't help but ask: "How did you see through it?"

  "When you brought him here, his legs were still tied with bear skin. Besides, even if I haven't seen what a bear looks like, I've at least seen what the four seas look like, right?"

  One of them couldn't help it and Xu Chuyan burst out laughing, the people around also relaxed, and the atmosphere suddenly became harmonious.

  "I told you it wouldn't work." Lu Jinghang shook his head. "Even if the Four Seas return to their former glory, they still won't be fat enough."

  "Even the bamboo pole is too heavy to lift now."

  "Yes, you didn't see how hard it was for us adults to lift him just now."

  Laughter erupted, Li Huaiyu held the box in her arms and laughed along with them.

  "Your Highness, there seems to be some unusual movement in the mountains." The scout returned with a serious expression and said, "Let's hurry down the mountain."

  Someone unknown crossed over the forest at the foot of the mountain. A rustling sound followed.

  "Alright." Lin Si Hai Dao, "I'll go scout ahead first, once I confirm it's safe, Your Excellency can bring the young master to board the carriage."

  The red hat nodded.

  Li Huaiyu smiled and said: "Then you go first, I'll take a look over there by the mountain cliff."

  Qing Si was taken aback and subconsciously wanted to ask what was so good about the other side of the mountain cliff? It was both high and dangerous, but Lu Jinghang stopped her.

  "Go ahead," he said. "If you see anything unusual, be sure to come back and tell us."

  "Good." Huai Yu smiled and nodded, hopping and jumping through several large trees, sitting on a big rock at the edge of the cliff.

  The voice behind her faded away, and she couldn't see her anymore. Li Huaiyu pursed his lips, the smile on his face like a peeling lacquer, slowly falling off bit by bit.

  Under the cliff was a dense canopy of trees, nothing could be seen. Lu Jinghang knew she was suffocating, so he let her come over to catch her breath.

  Everyone is worried about her, she can't be sad in front of them, but after holding a jade carving for over a month, it suddenly broke. Saying she's not sad is a lie. In just two more days, it will be 49 days since the seventh of July, even if it's an illusion, they could have waited for a result, unfortunately, there isn't one.

  She still can't see him.

  The tip of her nose felt a bit sour, and she tightly hugged an empty box to her chest. Her eyes gradually became blurry, and everything in front of her was shrouded in a haze.

  Lu Jinghang is a scoundrel, Yu Xiao can't become Jiang Jing. Jiang Jing is also a scoundrel, saying he loves her, saying he will protect her, but not even giving her any news. She's so obedient, taking good care of the child, governing Danyang and the first-line city. She even took his handwriting to practice calligraphy, can't he see that her words are so neat? Doesn't know she practiced until her hands were sore, not a single word of praise was given.

  The more she thought about it, the sadder she became, so she opened the box and buried her face in it, sobbing quietly.

  There were footsteps behind, step by step, getting closer and closer.

  Hua Yu heard it, but was so distressed that she couldn't even collect her emotions. She simply broke down and hoarsely said: "Let me be alone for a while."

  The footsteps stopped abruptly.

  The only person who understands her is Lu Jinghang, Li Huaiyu feels even more distressed, continues to sob in the box: "It's been 47 days, just two days left, can't it be 77-49? Can't it be 77-47?"

  "Let's go." The person behind him said in a low voice.

  The voice sounded a bit off. Li Huaiyu took his head out of the box, suspecting that he had cried himself into a daze, and it wasn't until after a moment of confusion that he thought to turn around and look back.

  However, as soon as she turned around, someone was waiting behind her, leaning down to turn his head and accurately catch the lips she handed over.

  Li Huaiyu's eyes widened in shock.

  The entire world seemed to freeze in an instant.

  The person in front of her had a good appearance and a pleasant expression. He was wearing a cyan-colored brocade robe with strange and awkward flower patterns on it. His black eyes blinked slowly, his long eyelashes sweeping across her forehead, causing a tingling sensation. The familiar fragrance of sandalwood gradually filled her nostrils, and his thin, cool lips moved against hers for a moment before becoming warm.

  He held her waist and turned her body around, tightly clasping her in his arms.

  Solid and warm embrace, not a dream.

  Coming back to her senses and realizing what had happened, Huai Yu swallowed hard, reached out to hug him tightly, and tears streamed down her face.

  "How could it be you"

  Jiang Xuanjin hooked his lips, and his forehead lightly touched hers, saying in a low voice: "I heard you miss me."

  The low voice, followed by a slight gasp after running wildly, made her heart melt into a mess, and she burst out crying with a "wow".

  The cry was so loud that a group of people behind the tree rushed towards the cliff.

  "Your Highness?!"

  Jiang Xuanjin softly coaxed her: "Don't cry. Look, they've all come over, I think doing something else won't work."

  Hua Yu grasped his clothes tightly and wiped away her tears and nose: "How dare you say that, how dare you come back!"

  I

  "Why don't you write me a letter? Why won't you let anyone give me even a single sentence?"

  Because

  "You bastard!" Before he could finish speaking, Huaiyu fiercely bit his shoulder.

  Then, Qing Si and the others rushed over to see Zi Yang Jun laughing with a pampered expression on his face as he sat on a large stone. His Highness knelt in his arms, like a small beast, baring his teeth and biting his shoulder.

  It seems that Your Highness's mouth is completely merciless, but for some reason, the harder she bites, the happier the king becomes.

  "What's going on?" Lu Jinghang was stunned.

  Lin Si Hai followed them over, scratching the back of his head and said: "I just wanted to tell you guys that I discovered the return of the Zi Yang army at the foot of the mountain. It seems like they sensed our presence up here, which is why they made a move."

  "Alright, let's go to the mountain and release a 'bear'. Who would have thought that we'd coincidentally bump into Jiang Xuanjin who just happened to be returning? Lu Jinghang rolled his eyes: "Why didn't you get any news beforehand?"

  "It's probably a secret return to the city," said Chi Jin, "Even we didn't receive any news, let alone the enemy army, Kyoto is safe."

  I heard their gossip. Li Huaiyu was even more angry, his eyes were red like a rabbit's, he let go of the person and couldn't help but punch him again: "Do you think this can give me a surprise? I'm not surprised at all, I'm going to be furious!"

  He reached out to hook the stray hair that had been bitten into her mouth, and Jiang Xuanjin held her waist steady, saying in a low voice: "When we return to the manor, whatever is to be done will be at your discretion, madam."

  "Fine! I'll lock you up and give you a good thrashing, then you'll know how bitter it is to be separated from the one you love!"

  Fierce appearance, like a lion living in the east of the river.

  Jiang Xuanjin didn't get annoyed, instead he lightly laughed, his eyes gleaming with light as he steadily looked at her.

  It suddenly dawned on Li Huaiyu that something was amiss. She blinked her eyes, then blinked again: "What did you just call me?"

  "Huh?"

  "Don't pretend to be stupid!" Her momentum suddenly weakened, she grabbed his collar, her face turned red, "Did you just call me that?"

  "What's up?" He raised an eyebrow.

  With jade-like teeth and snow-white canine teeth exposed: "Will you say it or not?!"

  She couldn't stop giggling. Jiang Xuanjin hooked his arm around her waist and pressed her into his chest, leaning down to her ear and saying, "It's been months since we last met, yet you still blush?"

  Her face, which was originally not red, was instantly flushed half of the sky by his warm breath.

  Lu Jinghang fanned himself, looking at the mother lion who had just turned into a helpless little kitten, and with a flick of his eyelid, he curled his lip and spat out two words: "Pathetic."

  I thought I was going to see a thrilling fight, but it was over in just a few words.

  However, Jiang Xuanyi seems to have changed a bit. He used to be reluctant to show affection in public, but now he's hugging someone and doesn't even want to let go of their hand.

  The time was late, as if the setting sun had said so, the weather was fine, the dark clouds dispersed, and the sky was filled with red glow. The two of them stood on the mountain ridge, surrounded by the glow of the sunset, looking very warm.
