Ten days later, Mo Junyu finally found Mo Junyang who was travel-worn at the gate of King Rui’s mansion.
“Junyang, where have you been these days?”
Mo Junyang’s eyes were darkened and he looked exhausted. He waved his hand. “Let’s talk inside.”
Mo Junyu followed him in. For the first time, he saw Mo Junyang so tired, so he was curious.
“Where on earth did you go?”
“What happened in the capital city?”
They asked at the same time.
Mo Junyang rubbed his forehead and repeated his question.
Mo Junyu was curious but had to tell Junyang about the conversation between Ling Ruiyin and him and what he had guessed. Then he expressed firmly, “I definitely don’t love your girlfriend Qingxue. Don’t get me wrong.”
Mo Junyang cast a sidelong glance at him and smiled faintly. “What if you love her? She would never take a fancy to you.”
Mo Junyu was unable to reply.
Shi Qingxue didn’t argue with Xia Mang but returned to her room and wrote a letter. She gave it to Xia Mang. “Send this letter to King Rui’s mansion now. Be sure to hand it to Mo Junyang.”After thinking for a while, she was still worried and added, “Hmm, Qu Yuebai or Wei Zichao is okay. Anyway, ask Mo Junyang to give me a reply as soon as possible.”Xia Mang was not surprised that Shi Qingxue called Mo Junyang by his name. She just said worriedly, “Madam has said that you can’t contact His Excellency. You…”Shi Qingxue raised her eyebrows. “Little Xia Mang, do you listen to me or my mother?”Little Xia Mang, who was several years older than Shi Qingxue, kept silent and admitted her destiny to send the letter to King Rui's mansion.After asking, she learned that Mo Junyang went out just now and nobody knew when he would come back. Qu Yuebai received the maid from the Shi Family.Qu Yuebai glanced at Xia Ma
Shi Qingxue anxiously took out all the food from the bowl and found a note at the bottom as expected.She read the note, and it was Xia Mang’s writing.“His Excellency is not in the capital city. Madam has burnt the reply to your letter given by Mr. Qu. I don’t know what is in it.”“Ah!” Shi Qingxue howled sadly and almost shed tears.Her last hope was Mo Junyang. She thought as long as she sent a letter to him, he would surely find a way to take her out.Unexpectedly, Mo Junyang left the capital city at this crucial time, and Dong Hui had burnt the only letter he left.She didn’t even want to live.Shi Qingxue didn’t have appetite and then went back to lie on the bed. She mumbled, “What should I do?”“My Lady, have you finished your dinner?”Fen’s voice came from outside the door. Qingxue suddenly sat up on the bed and hurriedly hid the note. Then she put the food ba
Shi Qingxue didn’t know any martial skills. She subconsciously closed her eyes and turned to one side, but she could only dodge once.“Ah!”A scream appeared, but it was not from her.Shi Qingxue was stunned for a while and then opened her eyes suddenly. The assassin in black was lying on the ground in a pool of blood, without closing his eyes.In front of her, a tall and big figure stood straightly. With his back toward the sun, he was as steady as a high mountain but was unrealistic.Shi Qingxue squinted and saw the person in front of her reach out his hand to her. He comforted her in a gentle voice, “It’s all right. Can you get up?”She paused for a while and didn’t stretch out her hand but chose to struggle to get up by herself. At the same time, she moved a few steps backward and kept her distance from the man.She expressed her gratitude with a poker face, “Your Highness, thanks for savi
Shi Qingxue was surprised. “What are you doing?”But Mo Junhao held her more tightly and said seriously, “There is such a fierce fire. It’s dangerous to walk downstairs in the house. Perhaps many people are waiting for us on the first floor. I will take you to jump from the window to the back yard and then ride away.”Then he hugged Shi Qingxue and jumped to the stable in the back yard.Without giving Shi Qingxue any chance to protest, he held her waist and flew to the horse’s back. Before the assassins waiting in the front yard chased them, they left the hotel on horseback.Mo Junhao was excellent at riding and soon the hotel disappeared from sight.Shi Qingxue looked back and could only see some red light indistinctly, but the way ahead was in the darkness.She could do nothing but hug Mo Junhao and remain still, but later she felt something wrong.That group of assassins was chasing them.
In the surging river, two figures emerged and disappeared occasionally, as if they might be swallowed by the water anytime.Shi Qingxue and Mo Junhao were floating along the river for a long time, but they grabbed each other’s hand all the time, so they didn’t get separated by the flowing water.“It’s not good. We need to get on shore instantly.”Mo Junhao was good at swimming and tried several times to swim to the bank grabbing Qingxue’s hand, but soon he was dashed back, so they had to go with the stream.When the two tried another time, Mo Junhao suddenly found that there was a big rock standing in the water downstream less than two meters away from them.“Be careful!”Mo Junhao shouted in a sharp voice, but they couldn’t get any leverage. When Shi Qingxue flowing with the water was about to bump into the rock, he abruptly applied much strength to pull her into his arms.Shi Qingxue felt th
Shi Qingxue bit her low lip and remained silent for a while till Mo Junhao was surprised and called, “Qingxue?”She then turned to Mo Junhao with a fait smile. “It’s a nice skill. At least I won’t starve to death.”It sounded strange, and Mo Junhao realized after a while that she was answering his question, but why did it sound so confusing?“Qingxue, are you kidding? How could a person starve to death?” Mo Junhao thought Shi Qingxue was joking with him or being exaggerated.Even if they didn’t have roasted pheasant to eat, they would just be hungry for a while and couldn’t be so miserable as to starve to death.Shi Qingxue stopped looking at him and replied coldly, “Just take it as a joke.”“Qingxue…”Before Mo Junhao finished his words, Shi Qingxue threw the roasted pheasant she hadn’t eaten into the fire and then stood up, walking to the outside of the forest.He couldn’t stop
Shi Qingxue moved forward to dodge, but Mo Junhao’s hand followed her closely. She didn’t have a chance to resist before going into a coma.Her slim body fell forward, and Mo Junhao reached out, trying to pull her into his arms, but a long arrow came after breaking through the air and forced him to lean back.When he steadied himself on horseback, Shi Qingxue was in the hands of a man in black.“Damn it. If you dare to hurt her, I will make you and your master die a graveless death!” Mo Junhao unsheathed his sword and stared coldly at this man who came to rob halfway.Mo Junhao showed the killing intent for the first time, and anybody else would have trembled with fear at the sight of it.But that was anybody else.The man in black held Shi Qingxue and sat on the horse’s back. He glanced at Mo Junhao silently and tried to ride away.It was the first time for Mo Junhao to be totally ignored, an
Wenren Chi’s intention to deny turned to nothing when Shi Junhe said the last words.He was unable to deny.But he couldn’t admit boldly, either, so he had to smile bitterly.“Father!”Wenren Chi called in a soft voice, and even he didn’t know what he was going to say next, or what else he could say.Shi Junhe smiled and suddenly asked, “Chi, do you know how many times you called me Father today?”Wenren Chi was stunned.Shi Junhe then asked, “Do you remember since when you didn’t like to call me Father?”Wenren Chi raised his head in surprise and panicked.“Don’t be frightened. I don’t mean to blame you,” Shi Junhe comforted him.But he turned to the dense fog outside the tent, as if recalling the past. “After I brought you home when you were young, you were afraid of strangers and refused to call me Father. Later, you got closer to Qingxue and mixed in
