498 Doomed To Be Alone This Time
Plum Garden in the Suburbs of Beijing
In the twelfth lunar month of winter, plum blossoms are in full bloom.
Two months of peace and quiet in this paradise made the full moon feel lazier and more real than when she was in the Prince's Mansion.
Everyone she cares about is here, except for Jingren.
She has been missing for two months. I wonder how Jinglei feels now?
It's just that there are many traps outside the plum garden, and there are Bagua arrays in them. If she wants to get out, she has to break the nine traps and the Bagua array. However, she is not in a hurry to break through the array and get out.
Two months have passed, and she has no news here. Her captors will send news from outside every day. She also knows that the envoys from the four countries will arrive in Kyoto in two days, and there are still two days left. She has already waited for two
It’s rare to be able to spend two months without any worries in this paradise. If you can stay forever, why not?
However, the life she was willing to live for was destined to be unable to continue.
In the evening, the Bagua array that had trapped her for two months opened on its own.
When Tieying came to tell her excitedly, she didn't feel anything at all.
She doesn’t know who her captor is!
She doesn’t know why she is being let go now!
She wanted to be a carefree Linghu Man Yue, instead of being as clueless as she is now.
"Miss - if you don't want to go out, then Tieying will stay here with you for the rest of your life!" Seeing that Man Yue was silent, Tieying hurriedly spoke.
"No. It's time for us to go out for a walk, but it's me alone, not you."
The full moon looked thoughtfully into the distance, her eyes cold and cold.
"Miss - what do you mean?" Tie Ying trembled, feeling unspeakably worried and nervous.
"Once the Bagua array here is opened, the prince's people will find it soon. Previously, the formation made people outside think that this place has reached the end. Even if I stay, I will be taken back by the prince. But - if I go back
, the prince will never believe that I did nothing outside for two months, just eat, drink and sleep every day, let alone who kidnapped me. He is no longer the prince before - or rather - from beginning to end, he
They are all the prince I don’t know.”
Man Yue's tone was calm, but she accepted the reality that the prince had changed.
She studied the news sent from outside in detail every day. Although she did not say it on the surface, various signs of the changes in Kyoto told her what kind of actions the prince had carried out to consolidate the prosperous dynasty that he was about to acquire.
"Miss, you are worried that something will happen to us - you -" Even though Tie Ying was upright, she could hear Man Yue's plan at this moment.
"I have decided. You go and tell them to wait here. Someone will come to pick you up later." After the words fell, Man Yue turned around and walked out.
Since the Bagua array can be opened, there will be people waiting for her outside.
"——Yes, eldest lady." Tie Ying understood that the decision made by his eldest lady would not be changed easily.
——
Outside the forest, Man Yue saw the three men in black who brought her here.
The one in the middle was respectful when he saw her.
"Female Officer Linghu, my master said that the time has almost come, and the female officer should leave here."
"What is the timing?" Man Yue frowned and said coldly.
"The master informed his subordinates that Lady Officer Linghu's enemies are not dead yet, maybe they are still alive, and they have also sneaked into the ranks of the envoys from the four countries. The lady officer has an unfulfilled wish, so she arranged for the lady officer to leave here."
As soon as the man in black said these words, Man Yue's gaze, which had been calm for two months, condensed like frost at this moment.
There was a trace of blood in his eyes.
"How did your master know?" Her voice suddenly turned cold!
She doesn’t believe it! She doesn’t believe that despicable Lin Donghe is still alive!
"Female Officer Linghu, the secret must not be leaked. But since the master said so, it is not unfounded. The master told his subordinates that the female officer may not want to return to the prince's mansion. Since the other party is also in the dark, the female officer can also be in the dark. The female officer's new
The identity master has already made arrangements for the female officer."
The man in black's tone was as calm and low as ever. For the past two months, he had been delivering meals every day, and they were all her favorite meals. She once suspected that the master behind the man in black knew everything about her.
But in Kyoto, she really couldn't think of any other person with such a powerful and terrifying hidden force.
"Okay, since your master has made all the arrangements, I will take a good look at who is human and who is ghost in this drama in the dark! But - my maids and subordinates -" Man Yue paused as she spoke.
He glanced behind him.
At some point, Tieying, Yinxiu, Ningjing, Ximeng, and several other personal guards and maids stood not far behind her, looking worried and reluctant to look at her.
"Don't worry, Miss Linghu, the master will arrange to send them to a safe place to stay temporarily. After Miss Linghu has finished dealing with that person, you can see them anytime you want. The master will not embarrass them."
The man in black said this, and Man Yue nodded silently.
In fact, it wasn't that the man in black knew everything about her inner thoughts. To be precise, it was the master behind him who knew too much.
"Miss - do you really want to leave?"
Yinxiu made a hoarse voice from behind.
Without them around - if anything happens to the eldest lady - no! The eldest lady will be fine!
"Let's all go back. I am destined to walk this journey alone."
Man Yue spoke calmly, but as soon as her words came out, they were blown away by the cold wind.
Two years after her rebirth, she seemed to have gradually found the path she should truly take.
After two years of seemingly step-by-step effort and planning, in the end, what she won was only a short-term victory. For her, what she lost was always the original innocence and happiness in her previous life.
God gave her a chance to be reborn, not to let her go around in circles just for revenge.
Her heart has been buried for so long, and it's time to really air it out.
Only by washing away your own haze can you live out your self after rebirth, instead of falling into hatred and punishing yourself for the mistakes of others.
Looking at her relaxed back, Tie Ying, Yin Xiu and others looked at each other.
No matter what, they all saw that the eldest lady now was indeed different from before, but they were still worried that the eldest lady was traveling alone.
——
One day later, Dongluo Station
Mu Hua touched his chin and tilted his head to look at the full moon writing at his desk. From time to time he curled his lips and stared, but he didn't know whether he should speak or not.
Later, I couldn't bear it anymore, so I cleared my throat and asked carefully,
"That - Miss Mu Xing - eh, can you tell me how you did it?" Mu Hua pointed to the pile of folding papers on the table that were originally piled up, but were neatly organized at this moment.
