C332 To meet an old friend when one is lost (1/2)
Princess Wuyou could only reluctantly follow the imperial concubine. When they left, the imperial concubine gave Mu Ru Yue another look. Her expression was complicated, but she didn't say anything.
This attitude made Mu Ru Yue even more puzzled by what this imperial concubine had said to her previously. Perhaps there was another reason behind the events of that day. It didn't matter whether it was true or not. She couldn't even take the risk.
The princess was going to bring her away, but she could not stay in the palace. Thinking about this, a hint of darkness flashed across Mu Ru Yue's eyes. From the looks of it, she had to leave the palace.
With that in mind, Mu Ru Yue decided not to continue wandering around the palace.
With the scorching sun in the sky, the people surrounding the Thousand Year Palace had already left one after another. But at this time, in the garden of a maze not too far away from the Thousand Year Palace, there was a woman, mumbling something.
This woman wore red clothes and her facial features were ordinary. However, she had a pair of eyes that people would never forget. She was none other than Mu Rong Yue, who was preparing to leave the palace.
”Damn it!” Where is the exit? ” Mu Ru Yue sat in the middle of the garden gloomily as she looked at the scorching sun above her head. She really wanted to cry, but no tears came out. She must have been crazy to be running around with Wuyou. In the end, she didn't even know where the Thousand Year Hall's exit was!
Ask someone else? He was worried that something might go wrong.
Mu Ru Yue felt that her biggest mistake was believing too much in her ability to recognize her own path! The gardens of the palace all looked the same, but who would have thought that once they entered, they would never be able to leave!
Sitting there in disappointment, Mu Ru Yue opened her eyes wide.
The surrounding cicadas continuously chirped. The scorching sun seemed to be able to turn the surrounding soil into smoke. Mu Ru Yue closed her eyes as she felt despair. But at this time, a burst of laughter sounded out.
However, this laughter only lasted for an instant. When Mu Rong Yue heard it, she jumped up and looked in the direction of the voice. The smile that was just lifted on Mu Ru Yue's face froze.
This person was wearing a spotless white robe, and her phoenix eyes seemed to contain starlight as they landed on her side. People couldn't help but be attracted to him. However, this was not the main point. The main point was … Why would Feng Qing appear here!?
”What a coincidence.” Mu Ru Yue said with a stiff expression.
”You're lost again.” Feng Qing's gaze landed on Mu Ru Yue as she said that.
Mu Ru Yue instantly became embarrassed. This person … Can't you speak properly! He had to poke a sore spot. The last time he met Feng Qing, she seemed to have gotten lost in the palace as well?
However, the first time they met, she didn't dare to say who she was. Now that she mentioned it again, Mu Ru Yue's face was also filled with awkwardness.
”Why did you enter this maze garden?” Feng Qing looked at Mu Ru Yue, puzzled. The phoenix's eyes were filled with confusion as well. Even if he was here, he would occasionally get lost.
Not to mention a person who had just entered the Imperial Palace.
For those who had never been inside this maze garden before, they would have no choice but to wait for someone to save them.
”You just … What did you say? ” Mu Ru Yue's entire body didn't look good.
”Why did you come to the maze garden?” Mu Rong Yue almost cried when Feng Qing repeated herself. 'No matter what, I can't leave this place!' It felt like this was a maze?
”Who built this maze here? Is it used to torment people!? ” Mu Ru Yue was enraged. When Feng Qing heard this, he blinked and said, ”Father built it for me.”
”Huh?” Mu Ru Yue felt even more embarrassed.
Then, the man continued in his cold voice, ”Back then, after I lost my mother, royal father took care of everything. Even though he kept me by his side, in the end, he couldn't take care of me.
At that time, royal father forbade me to see anyone. Everyone who approached me was certain that they wanted to kill me. In such a situation, royal father built this place.
While I was busy with government affairs, I was left in the middle with another person standing guard around me. I am looking for an exit here. If I find one, it can be considered as my victory. I can propose a condition to him. If I lose, I will have to wait for him to finish his work before I am released. ”
”Then, Your Highness, have you won?” Mu Ru Yue asked curiously.
When Feng Qing heard this, his gaze landed on her body as though he was feeling sad. ”If I win, this place might not exist anymore. royal father needs to find a way to trap this palace again.
Therefore, I have never won a single time. This place has also become my usual place. ”
Feng Qing's words made Mu Ru Yue sigh deeply. The Emperor took care of Feng Qing, but Feng Qing was also the entrustment of the Emperor's heart. Losing a lover, losing a son, that was the most painful thing. In that situation, only he knew what kind of pressure the young Feng Qing was under.
She did not have any family, so she did not know about this feeling. However, the only thing she knew was that if it were her, she would have already run away. He would not stay in this maze.
