C379 Ling Xis request (2/2)
”You did not hide your selfish desire. It is enough for you to tell me. However, if you really go to Peony City and meet him, how about it? ” Mu Ru Yue asked curiously.
Because right now, Ling Xi was facing exactly the same situation as she was about to face. It didn't matter if it was her or Ling Xi; it was all because they had met each other. However, Ling Xi was a bit better, because Ling Xi … She didn't die because of it.
As for himself?
He died because he believed in the wrong person. Now, she couldn't forget the pain from that day. Therefore, Mu Ru Yue was curious as to what Ling Xi would decide.
On the other hand, Ling Xi smiled shyly, ”I don't know either. If he has his own difficulties and also explained them to me, I think … I will forgive him. The only person I've ever loved in my life.
However, if he really betrayed me, I think that I wouldn't do anything to him. Because I've never truly hated him before. I only blame him for leaving me alone, for putting a shackle on me, and for being forced to sink into the refugee zone in the south of the city.
I wanted to ask him if he had ever thought about how a weak girl like me could survive here. I'd like to ask him if he's interested. ”
When Ling Xi said up to here, she was choked with sobs.
Murong Yue was moved when she saw Ling Xi wiping away her tears. Perhaps, the difference between him and others lay in this place. She had once hated that person, and now she could not let it go. If he had any difficulties with her, even if she really explained it to her, she would only laugh. Because she had already died once, hadn't she?
”Princess Hua-Yang, do you think …?” Is my way of thinking a little cowardly? ” Ling Xi's face reddened slightly as she looked at Murong Yue and asked embarrassedly. Mu Ru Yue shook her head and replied, ”Everyone has their own choices. It's the same for me. It has nothing to do with cowardice, but because you love that person a little more. ”
Mu Ru Yue's words made Ling Xi feel slightly warmer. All these years, she had constantly questioned herself why she wasn't willing to hate him. Even until the very end, she still didn't understand. Even today, it was the same.
She didn't hate him, but neither did she know why. Perhaps it was because he was a person that he did not dare to hate.
”Who's over here?” Just as Mu Ru Yue and Ling Xi were walking on the streets in the southern part of the city and looking at the people from other houses, they heard a stern voice that made Murong Yue turn her head when she heard it. She saw a man in brown official uniform walking over with a dozen guards. These guards instantly surrounded Murong Yue and Ling Xi.
The man in brown slowly walked over. As they walked closer, both of them were stunned.
Mu Ru Yue looked at the middle-aged man, who had a fox-like smile on his face. She only had one thought in mind, and that was, enemies often cross paths!
She wasn't the only one who had such thoughts. The people facing her were the same. Prime Minister Murong looked at the red-clothed girl before him. He looked very different from the cowards he had at the Mu Rong family. In fact, he was even more eye-catching than the children he cared about.
The only reason why he had abandoned this chess piece completely was because it no longer had any use. However, he never would have thought that he had bet the wrong treasure.
Prime Minister Murong felt a moment of regret, but that was only for an instant. As far as Prime Minister Murong was concerned, there was no need to think about what he missed. After all, the most important thing right now was the Mu Rong family.
Mu Ru Yue, on the other hand, was fated to be irreconcilable with the Mu Rong family.
”So it's Prime Minister Murong. I wonder why Prime Minister has stopped this wangfei?” Mu Ru Yue asked with a smile.
Opposite of us, Prime Minister Murong remained calm and continued, ”Greetings, Princess. This subject has been ordered to investigate the disappearance of the Ninth Princess. We believe this is the easiest place for the Ninth Princess to hide.
Therefore, I have decided to make some inquiries here. Since the Royal Concubine is also here, may I ask where you have been? ”
”Are you checking on me?” Mu Ru Yue raised her brows as she said unkindly.
”No, it's just routine.” Prime Minister Murong said neither humbly nor arrogantly. This attitude of hers made it impossible for Mu Ru Yue to reject him. With so many people watching, if she didn't give a proper answer, this old fox would definitely claim her place!
The next person who comes to interrogate us is most likely the empress and her entourage. They were worrying about how to deal with themselves. With that thought, Mu Ru Yue's smile returned as she said, ”My shop collapsed for the second time, leaving me at a loss. Isn't this? The reason my maid came to find me was to let me see for myself.
This is still an estate after all, and also something from the prince's mansion. As the wangfei, I naturally have to take good care of it. I just came from there. ”
