C125 (1/2)
From afar, it looked like a light layer of snow. Yue Luoxue leaned on a rock by the river and fell asleep, the corners of her mouth raised in a faint arc, as if she was having a beautiful dream.
When Tuoba Hong had found her with a worried and haggard face, he had seen Yue Luoxue in such a state. Only the heavens knew how scared he was when he saw those corpses last night.
Seeing that Yue Luoxue was sleeping soundly, Tuoba Hong did not plan to call her, but only took off his outer robe and planned to cover her with it.
The moment the clothes landed on Yue Luoxue's body, Yue Luoxue opened her eyes in a bit of a daze. Without even saying a word, she had clearly seen that the person in front of her was not Young Master Rong, but Tuoba Hong.
”Tuoba Hong? Why are you here? ”
Tuoba Hong could clearly hear the word ”appearance”, and he could not help but let out a bitter laugh. Was the smile she wore earlier because she had dreamt of Nalan Rongxuan? At least the current Tuoba Hong would not think that the person Yue Luoxue wanted to say ”Young Master Rong”, and not ”Rongxuan”.
”You didn't go back very late last night, so I'm worried about coming out to take a look.”
Yue Luoxue replied with an ”oh”, and looked around: ”When you came over, did you see anyone?”
”You mean the bodies? I've already sent people to find out who it belongs to. ” Tuoba Hong thought that Yue Luoxue was referring to the assassin, so she did not think much about it.
Yue Luoxue lowered her eyes slightly, feeling a little disappointed in her heart. When Young Master Rong left, she even suspected that he hadn't returned since last night. Everything that happened afterwards was just a dream on her part.
She remembered that Young Master Rong had hugged her, and even kissed her! She didn't know anything else until she woke up.
”What's wrong?” Seeing Yue Luoxue not speak for a long time, Tuoba Hong could not help but ask.
Yue Luoxue suppressed the question in her mind and laughed: ”I'm fine, I'm just thinking about who I was yesterday.” As she spoke, he stood up and looked at the scene before him. She could not help but exclaim, ”How beautiful!”
”If you like it, you can enjoy it for the rest of your life.” Tuoba Hong stood by her side, and even though he knew that there was already someone in her heart, he still enjoyed this kind of feeling.
Mo Shanghua and the Grandpa Mo were normal, which meant that she was the target of the investigation last night. Not long after they returned to the Duke Palaces, the results of their investigation were sent over.
Her and Tuoba Hong's research results were the same. The person who killed her was a hired killer, but the employer was smart, handling everything flawlessly, there were no clues at all.
Tuoba Hong was a little apologetic. He had said before that with him here, Yue Luoxue would not be harmed in the slightest, yet she was ambushed: ”Luoxue, I will definitely find out who the mastermind is.”
”Mm, since he wants my life, he will definitely take action.” Yue Luoxue frowned slightly. She initially thought that it was Liu Chengfeng, but from the information that Qing Huan had sent over, Liu Chengfeng might not have anything to do with this matter.
If it wasn't Liu Chengfeng, who else would be so extreme as to take her life? Especially with regards to North Qi, she really couldn't think of anyone she had offended. Her current identity was only that of a physician treating Tuoba Yu, unless someone found out her identity!
”Luoxue, don't worry. As long as I'm here, I won't let anyone hurt you unless I'm dead!” Tuoba Hong suddenly said solemnly.
Yue Luoxue was startled. This oath was too heavy, to the point where she felt that she couldn't afford it. She wanted to squeeze out a smile, but the stubborn and serious look in her eyes made her unable to hide herself.
Tuoba Hong smiled slightly. Battle Princess was actually correct, Tuoba Hong and his father were the same type of people, able to do anything for the people they knew.
”That's right, come over here for a while. Yu Er should have finished her medicine by now. I've made some new ones for her, you should go take a look at her when you have the time.” Yue Luoxue changed the topic and turned to walk back into the house. In a moment she was back with a box.
Tuoba Hong received it with a smile: ”The last time I went to see Yu Er, she even asked me why didn't you go.
Yue Luoxue thought about it, she had a good impression of that weak and kind girl, so she nodded her head: ”Alright, I will also check Yu'er's body.”
Tuoba Yu and War Princess were arranged to be in a small mountain village that was hundreds of miles away from Ardent Sun City. There was an even more northern part of the village.
The mountain village was very quiet. The two of them walked into a small, clean courtyard. Tuoba Yu was wearing a fiery red fox fur coat and had his head lowered as she fiddled with something. When she raised his head and saw that it was Tuoba Hong and Yue Luoxue, surprise flashed across her small face.
”Sister Xue, you finally came to see me!”
”Yu'er, slow down. Be careful of your body!” The Battle Princess came out of her room with a bowl of medicine and shouted anxiously.
Moonfall Snow sized her up. Battle Princess wore a purplish-red robe. Although the fabric was not bad, her appearance was ordinary. Compared to the last time she saw her, she looked a bit more lively.
”Hehe, mother, I miss Sister Xue so much!”
