Xiao Ruoyu sat on the stone bench and looked at the man standing at the entrance. He was wearing a dragon robe, his face was resolute, his eyes were as sharp as blades, and he had the aura of a king in every move of his hands and feet.
The man in dragon robe is none other than the current Lord of Beili, Emperor Mingde.
Xiao Ruojin!
But when he saw Xiao Ruoyu in front of him, his eyes couldn't help but darken.
"Brother, since you are here, let's have a drink." Xiao Ruoyu flicked the teacup on the table, and the teacup rushed straight towards Xiao Ruojin.
"Yes." Xiao Ruojin nodded, reached out to catch the tea cup coming toward her, and then took a sip.
“Good tea.”
"Do you know what kind of tea it is?" Xiao Ruoyu asked.
Xiao Ruojin slowly walked up to Xiao Ruoyu and sat down, "I know, this is what he gave to you when Xiaoyu got married."
"How does it taste?" Xiao Ruoyu continued to ask.
"It's very good, the same as before, but there is a hint of bitterness in it," Xiao Ruojin said.
"How many years have passed? It's normal to have a bitter taste. It's not wine." Xiao Ruoyu smiled.
"Xiaoyu, long time no see." Suddenly Xiao Ruojin said such an inexplicable and strange word.
"Have you been to the White King and the Red King?" Xiao Ruoyu said lightly, as if he didn't hear them.
"You know, why are you asking me?" Xiao Ruojin took a sip of tea and said.
"Hehehe" Xiao Ruoyu smiled and tapped the stone table with his fingers, "Your two sons, compared to you and him, and of course me, at that time, they were far behind, and they didn't have enough firepower."
"It's really not enough," Xiao Ruojin said.
In another courtyard of the palace, Yin Luoxia sat on a chair, dragging her cheeks with one hand and looking at the dazzling flowers in front of her.
At this time, the sound of footsteps brought Yin Luoxia back to her senses. She turned her head slightly to look at the person coming towards her.
"Master, who is here? Why are there so many people outside?" Luo Mingxuan said.
"You don't know?" Yin Luoxia asked.
"I don't know." Luo Mingxuan also didn't understand. You must know that the door of Jiangling Prince's Mansion will not be opened easily. Why today...
"Haha" Yin Luoxia suddenly became interested and prepared to tease Luo Mingxuan.
"You really don't know?" Yin Luoxia asked again.
"Really, I just came from the back garden," Luo Mingxuan said.
"You want to know who is coming, I will tell you right now, but don't get scared and get down, you know," Yin Luoxia said quietly.
"Harm" Luo Mingxuan patted his chest, "Besides the prince, who can I be afraid of? I just asked who else can make me afraid."
"Hahaha" Yin Luoxia looked at Luo Mingxuan and laughed. How awesome he is now, how scared he will be later.
"When I was in Xueyue City, I told you some things about Tianqi," Yin Luoxia said.
"I know." Luo Mingxuan said, "It can't be Lan Yuehou."
Yin Luoxia shook her head, "No."
"Grand Master? That's not right, General Ye Xiaoying?" Luo Mingxuan said.
"Ye Xiaoying wouldn't dare to come to the house with Hu Ben on horseback. Even if Ruo Yu gave him the courage, he wouldn't dare," Yin Luo said slowly.
"Hu Ben?" Luo Mingxuan caught an important word, and two words flashed in his mind at this moment. His body couldn't help trembling, and he swallowed in fear.
"What? Are you scared now? Who said that just now." Yin Luoxia imitated Luo Mingxuan's tone and repeated, "Besides the prince, who can I be afraid of? I just asked who else can make me afraid."
"Master, this is different. He is the emperor, the master of the entire Beili," Luo Mingxuan said hurriedly.
"Yes, the emperor of Beili. The emperor all walked out of the river of blood," Yin Luoxia said lightly. There was a trace of sadness in her eyes.
"Master..." Luo Mingxuan saw that Yin Luoxia looked a little sad and opened his mouth to comfort him.
"Okay, everything has passed. What did you want to do before?" Yin Luoxia stood up slowly and walked towards the kitchen.
"Master, why are you going?" Luo Mingxuan asked.
"Today is his memorial day, let's make some bean soup and rice," Yin Luoxia said as she walked.
"Master, can you cook?"
"Xiaoyu, you and I, and he both grew up in Tianqi. You and he don't like to live in this cage, but like to wander around the world. But I am different. My whole life, from that time on,
It's doomed," Xiao Ruojin said slowly.
"Hehehe" Xiao Ruoyu smiled, "Cage? Did he and I escape? Not really?"
"He and I just escaped from the cage temporarily, but we didn't come back in the end. The fate of the royal family has been determined for life. It's not just you."
"Sometimes, I really feel that there are some things that I can only say to you and him," Xiao Ruojin said.
"Today is his memorial day, you should pay your respects," Xiao Ruoyu said suddenly.
Xiao Ruojin's expression froze, and then she nodded, "Of course, I want to pay my respects."
Then the two of them got up together and walked towards the deep courtyard.
As Xiao Ruojin walked on the road, her eyes seemed to go back to the past.
Back then there were not two people, but three people. Three people, drinking together and making promises to each other.
For Beili's future, for my own future. But does being a member of the royal family really have a future?
At that time, this problem had been bothering Xiao Ruojin.
Soon, the two of them arrived in front of the ancestral hall. Xiao Ruojin looked at the spiritual statue in front of her, with thousands of words in her eyes, but she couldn't say anything when the words came to her mouth.
Xiao Ruojin walked slowly to the soul, stretched out her hand to touch it, but stopped when she reached halfway.
"I feel guilty, either towards Ruofeng or you."
Xiao Ruoyu, who was standing behind Xiao Ruojin, did not speak, but only sneered at the corner of his mouth.
"In the first year of Mingde, it was Xiaoyu and Ruofeng who helped me stabilize Chao Gang."
While Xiao Ruojin was talking to herself in front of Xiao Ruofeng's spiritual tablet, Yu Luo had already arrived at Xiao Ruoyu's side.
Xiao Ruojin was stunned for a moment and then turned to look behind her.
"I have met your Majesty." Yu Luo saluted slightly.
Xiao Ruojin nodded.
"My lord, the princess is here," Yu Luo said.
Xiao Ruoyu did not speak, but looked at Xiao Ruojin.
Xiao Ruojin sighed secretly when she saw this, "This is your house, not the palace."
"Haha" Xiao Ruoyu smiled, "You are the Lord of Beili, you are the emperor, I am just the prince."
"What's the matter?" Xiao Ruojin asked.
"Your Majesty, the princess is here," Yu Luo said.
"Oh? Luoxia is here, let her in quickly," Xiao Ruojin said.
"Yes..." Yu Luo looked at Xiao Ruoyu, and Xiao Ruoyu nodded without leaving any trace.
Seeing this, Yu Luo retreated.
Outside the ancestral hall, Yin Luoxia held a big box in her hand and stared at the ancestral hall in front of her.
You must know that even I have no right to interfere with the ancestral hall in front of me. This is a forbidden area in the palace of Prince Jiangling.
After a while, Yin Luoxia saw Yu Luo coming out of it, but before she could say anything, she heard Yu Luo say: "Princess, the prince and your majesty invite you in."
Yin Luoxia nodded, and then slowly walked in. As soon as she took a step into the courtyard, she seemed to feel a cold air blowing towards her face. It made people shudder.
Then he walked a few more steps, crossed the wind screen, and saw the two people who were already in a stalemate.
"Brother Imperial" Yin Luoxia gave a slight salute.
"Luoxia" Xiao Ruojin said with a smile: "When I was in the Western Region, I heard that you were back. It just so happened that I also brought a gift this time, just as a blessing to you."
"I will accept Brother Huang's kindness," Yin Luoxia nodded and said with a slight smile.
"Yeah" Xiao Ruojin nodded.
"Brother Emperor, I made some food, you can try it." Yin Luoxia smiled lightly, put the box in her hand on the ground, and opened the lid.
Xiao Ruojin looked at the food in the lunch box and was stunned on the spot.
"Today is Brother Langya's memorial day. My siblings don't know how to cook anything else, but they can still make some bean soup and rice."
Yin Luoxia took out a bowl of bean soup and rice and handed it to Xiao Ruojin.
Xiao Ruojin took the bean soup and rice and looked down, not knowing what she was thinking in her eyes.
Then Yin Luoxia took out a bowl of bean soup and rice again and handed it to Xiao Ruoyu, "Ruoyu."
"Take it first." Xiao Ruoyu looked at Xiao Ruojin who was looking down at the bean soup and rice, and said lightly: "What? Do you think Luoxia's cooking is not delicious?"
"How could it be?" Xiao Ruojin denied.
"Ruoyu, you know what I'm thinking, why don't you tell me?"
"Hehehe" Xiao Ruoyu sneered: "Brother, please remember that it was the past. You could drink and think about what will happen tomorrow, but it is different now."
"No, it was different in Mingde's sixteenth year."
"Yes, yes, I still said what I said, I am ashamed of you and I am ashamed of Ruofeng." Xiao Ruojin raised her head and looked at Xiao Ruoyu,
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha"
Suddenly Xiao Ruoyu looked up to the sky and laughed. This sudden laughter made Yin Luoxia beside her stunned.
The entire Jiangling Palace was stunned.
Lieutenant Huben Li Changqing and Jiangling Guard Xiao Chenhua outside the mansion were stunned together.
After a long time, Xiao Ruoyu's laughter gradually stopped. He looked at the most authoritative person in Beili in front of him and said, "Are you guilty? Are you saying that you are guilty in front of Xiao Ruofeng?"
"Give it to me" Xiao Ruoyu handed it out and took the bean soup and rice handed over by Yin Luoxia.
Suddenly he shouted angrily, "Eat."
This sound almost scared Yin Luoxia next to her. She shook her head slightly because she knew that Xiao Ruoyu was angry.
