Luo Wenyu looked out the window, his dark eyes filled with complicated colors.
"Is there anything bothering you, Your Majesty?" Fan Ling asked tentatively.
Fan Ling has been with Luo Wenyu since he was a child, and he could tell at a glance that Luo Wenyu had something on his mind.
Luo Wenyu's eyes were stunned for a moment when Fan Ling asked him this question. He still looked at the moon outside the window, "Why do you ask that?"
"Because, my lord, you have been absent-minded all day."
"Is it that obvious?"
Fan Ling, "Yeah."
A long chuckle rang in Fan Ling's ears. Luo Wenyu turned around and patted Fan Ling's shoulder, "Let's go, it's time to join them." His face seemed to look better than before.
The two arrived at the gate of the palace, where the patrolling monks had been waiting outside for a long time.
Luo Wenyu glanced at everyone and said, "Old rules, each group patrols designated streets and alleys."
"I act alone. If something difficult happens, use the magic talisman to notify me, and I will arrive immediately!"
All the monks said, "Yes!"
Luo Wenyu didn't leave until everyone had left.
He walked alone on the street, the cold moonlight shone on his body, and the sadness on his face seemed to grow a lot more.
His good-looking brows couldn't help but wrinkle slightly, and a complex look appeared in his eyes.
It looked like he was patrolling, but he was actually absent-minded, and his thoughts were almost wandering to the sky.
A clear and melodious sound of bells sounded behind him, and the sound was getting closer to him.
His wandering thoughts were quickly brought back, Luo Wenyu turned around suddenly and at the same time drew out the Linyun Sword from his waist.
The black Linyun Sword glowed with a cold and stern look under the moonlight.
After seeing clearly who was behind him, his dark eyes froze for a moment. He took back the Linyun Sword and asked with doubt in his eyes, "Why are you here?"
Shang Longyue chuckled and said, "The prince usually looks for me, this time it's me who looks for him." As she spoke, she had already walked up to Luo Wenyu.
Those smart eyes looked him up and down, "Why are you frowning again?" She stretched out her hand to open his frown.
A faint blush instantly spread on Luo Wenyu's face. He subconsciously took a step back, his heartbeat beating uncontrollably.
Even the expression on his face became a little stiff.
Shang Longyue raised her brows slightly and put on a bad smile on her lips, "The prince seems to have something on his mind, why don't you tell me about it?"
Luo Wenyu's eyes darkened slightly, "There is nothing to say about a small thing."
Shang Longyue showed a look of regret, and she sighed softly, "Oh? Really? That's a pity. Since the prince has nothing to worry about, I'll leave." After saying that, she turned around and left, Shang Longyue
The moon is counting down in my heart, one, two...
San stopped her before she could count the people behind her.
Luo Wenyu, "Wait!"
She turned around and looked at Luo Wenyu, "Does the prince have anything else to do?"
Luo Wenyu, "You know why you ask."
Shang Longyue rolled her eyes, "My lord, I wish I had just said no."
"How...how did you know that this king has something on his mind?"
Shang Longyue tilted her head slightly, "The expression on the prince's face is very obvious."
Luo Wenyu was silent for a long time before he spoke. He told her everything about punishing Shang Longyue today.
It's really a good experience to hear other people talk about their own affairs.
However, when Luo Wenyu told her, he did not tell her Shang Longyue's name. He just used her character instead of her name. Shang Longyue nodded lightly, thoughtfully, "If the prince said,
This woman was indeed a scheming and vicious person before."
"But her recent changes have made her no longer like herself, but like another person."
"Moreover, words and deeds are not as usual. I feel that a person's personality, demeanor, actions, and habits cannot change overnight."
"Looking at what happened today, Your Majesty, if she had been in this situation in the past, I wonder how she would have reacted?"
Luo Wenyu remembered the conversation with the guard.
Luo Wenyu, "Did she say anything?"
The guard hesitated for a moment before speaking, "She admits what the princess said she did, but she doesn't admit what she didn't do, even if she is beaten to death."
Luo Wenyu sneered, his eyes still falling on the book in his hand. He turned to the next page and continued reading, "Did she say anything else?"
The guard shook his head, "No more."
"No, but..."
"But what?"
"After the princess received thirty blows, we wanted to help her up, but she pushed us away."
"When she walked back to the room by herself, there were blood stains on the floor wherever the princess walked."
An inexplicable emotion flashed across his dark pupils for a moment, and he put down the book in his hand, "What do you want to express?" His voice had a sense of oppression.
"I, I think the princess this time..."
"Okay, get down!"
Luo Wenyu's suddenly raised voice frightened the guard to tremble.
Guard: "Yes!"
Luo Wenyu also knew in his heart that this was not like Shang Longyue's style at all. If it had been in the past, she would have cried and hanged herself and kept tossing.
When she is punished, she will choose to swallow it in order to protect herself from harm, even if it is something she has not done.
But now her expression seemed to have changed.
"Actually, the prince also knows that today's incident was indeed not caused by her, and the injuries suffered by the daughter were also caused by her on purpose."
"It's just that, my lord, you hate her so much that you found a way to punish her in disguise."
Luo Wenyu did not refute her words, he just nodded.
At this point, Shang Longyue was a little confused again. She looked at Luo Wenyu with suspicious eyes, "I have something unclear."
"What's the matter?"
"Since the prince hates her so much and hates her so much, why is he still worried about punishing her now?"
Luo Wenyu looked at Shang Longyue for a long time and was speechless.
"Huh?" She looked at him puzzled.
"Because...her eyes are very similar to yours..." Not just her eyes, her eyes are also very similar to hers.
Hesitantly, his voice was too low, and Shang Longyue didn't hear him clearly at all. "My lord, can you speak louder?" She looked at her with disgust.
Luo Wenyu said, "I don't know why."
Shang Longyue, "..." She sighed, "The prince said that she once told you that she is not the original her, the original one is dead, and the current one is from another world."
"It sounds ridiculous, but has the prince ever thought about what if what she said is true?"
"Didn't the prince also say that she took out a weapon that you have never seen before? From the prince's description, the thing was very powerful. Didn't the prince also feel that it is not something that belongs to this world?"
Luo Wenyu did not speak, his eyebrows were solemn, "I still don't believe what she said." "Why isn't the prince curious, will I believe what she said?"
Luo Wenyu was stunned for a moment when she asked her this question. Yes... not only did he not find it strange, but he felt that she didn't believe it, which was why he found it strange.
Before Luo Wenyu could speak, she said, "I am just doing a rational analysis. It is impossible for a person to change his personality, habits, behavior, style, and demeanor overnight."
"And if she knew martial arts before and was so powerful, why would she have to hide it until now? Even if there is a reason, wouldn't it be a waste of time for her to hide it before and now expose it now?"
"My personal preference is that what she said is probably true."
"The world is ever-changing, full of things, monsters, devils, ghosts, and monsters all really exist. Why is it that what she said may not be true?"
"Gods also exist in this world. They live in the heavens, places that are beyond the reach of us mortals, let alone places unknown to us."
Since the divine world exists, is there a possibility that the world she mentioned really exists?"
After hearing this, Wenyu was silent for a long time, and Shang Longyue could see that his mind was indeed a little shaken.
Shang Yuyue said, "I just think so personally. Your Majesty, you don't need to take it to heart."
"I..." He swallowed the words again, "Forget it, it's nothing."
Shang Longyue, "Huh?"
"Are your injuries better?"
"Where do you mean, Your Majesty?"
Luo Wenyu narrowed his eyes slightly, "Are you injured elsewhere?"
Shang Longyue immediately realized that she had said the wrong thing. She did not panic, and her expression remained calm. She pointed at her heart, "The splinters of wood were contaminated with the poisonous gas of the ghost. I didn't realize it at the time. Later, I
I only discovered it when I felt a stabbing pain in my chest.”
"Fortunately, it was discovered early, otherwise the poisonous gas would attack my heart, and I would not be standing in front of the prince today."
Luo Wenyu, "Are you really okay?"
Shang Longyue smiled and said, "Well, is it possible that I still lied to you? If the prince doesn't believe it..." She paused deliberately and moved closer to Luo Wenyu, "Then the prince might as well take a look for himself?"
She reached up and pointed at her heart.
As she expected, Luo Wenyu's face turned red immediately. Fortunately, it was dark at night, so the redness on his face was not very obvious.
"No...no need." Luo Wenyu tilted his head to the side.
Shang Longyue became bolder again. She kept moving closer to him, so close that he could smell the delicious fragrance on her body. "Really?" Her voice was full of confusion.
His expression seemed to be enduring something. The more Shang Longyue looked at him like this, the more she wanted to bully him.
"Prince? Why don't you speak? Could it be that you are afraid of..." Before the word shame came out, Luo Wenyu put a hand on her shoulder and pushed her back. Shang Longyue's back blocked her.
on the wall.
Luo Wenyu's hands were on both sides of her, encircling her inside, and his dark eyes showed a dense color.
His breathing became a little heavy and rapid, as if he could no longer hold back the impulse in his heart.
Shang Longyue was obviously frightened by him, his breath hit her face, and the scent of white sandalwood on his body penetrated her nose.
Her heart, which should have been calm, was now beating wildly.
The sounds of intertwined breathing were mixed with the sounds of two chaotically beating hearts.
Fortunately, he had good concentration. If it had been anyone else, she would have been wiped clean.
Luo Wenyu retracted his hand, and he opened the distance between him and Shang Longyue. Then he seemed to feel that he was a little far away from her, so he quietly moved closer to her.
