C510 A person blocking the way (1/2)

The wind whistled, and fireworks were continuously being set off in the sky above Peony City. It was as if there was a peony city in the sky, causing people to be unable to help themselves from praising it. Even those opposing the Peony City would be unable to hold back their admiration upon seeing this scene.

As the fireworks rang out, the cheers of the crowd grew louder and louder. When Mu Ru Yue pulled Feng Qing and ran outside, she could see that there were quite a few peddlers peddling. At this moment, their faces no longer showed their initial bitterness, but instead, excitement, and infatuation with the beautiful scenery around them.

However, all of these thoughts of admiration had disappeared from Mu Ru Yue's mind. She could only focus on pulling Feng Qing and walking outside.

Feng Qing let Mu Ru Yue pull her along as she ran. His usually cold gaze fell on the place where both of them were clenching their hands tightly. A rare trace of gentleness appeared in his eyes. The cheers in his ears, to him, were not that repulsive.

The peonies that filled the city seemed to be congratulating Murong Yue and him.

Feng Qing really liked the feeling of relying on each other.

If it was someone else who dared to pull him, he would probably kill that person, right? Feng Qing thought in his heart. Very quickly, Mu Ru Yue pushed her way through the crowd. Once they reached the open space, she took a deep breath and started to pant.

”If I remember correctly, we are going to gather at the city gate, right?” Mu Ru Yue gasped for breath as she spoke.

Feng Qing thought for a moment and also nodded, ”That's how it should be.”

Then the question came. Mu Ru Yue looked at Feng Qing awkwardly and looked at his surroundings at a loss. She only knew the entrance to the city and didn't know where the north gate to the city was. Mu Ru Yue was someone who easily got lost, let alone finding a place that he hadn't been to before.

Seeing Mu Ru Yue's current predicament, Feng Qing turned around and headed towards an alley. When Mu Ru Yue saw this, he hastily followed him. Feng Qing's pace was not fast. It was as if she was deliberately waiting for her.

Mu Ru Yue followed behind him like this.

”When we return to the capital, between A Yue and me …” there won't be another chance for us to walk together like this, right? ” Feng Qing's voice was very faint, as if he was sighing. However, Mu Ru Yue felt that he had heard wrongly.

Feng Qing was the current crown prince, how could he be disappointed over such a matter?

Thinking that, Mu Ru Yue smiled. ”This matter has brought trouble to your highness. I'm afraid that when I go back, it will just be troublesome. It would be best if there was less contact between His Highness and me. Otherwise, it will only bring His Highness and I into a state of public opinion. ”

”What if I don't care about public opinion?”

”Huh?” Mu Ru Yue was stunned.

”It's nothing. If there's anything you need in the future, you can still come find me. I'll help you.” It was as if … ”Back then in the Huang Lin Temple, you helped me the same way.” Feng Qing's words made Mu Ru Yue sigh emotionally.

That time in the temple, she really didn't want to recall it at all!

After all, something had almost happened to her. If it wasn't for Feng Li's timely arrival, she probably wouldn't even know what would have happened next. Mu Ru Yue didn't dare to think what she would do if she let those people succeed.

Feng Qing didn't speak to her along the way. Soon, the two of them arrived at a city gate. There were only around five to six people guarding the gate. Even in normal times, these people were considered to be few in number. Not to mention the martial law today, logically speaking, there should be at least a hundred people there.

When Mu Ru Yue arrived, she saw a carriage already waiting for her.

When he saw Mu Ru Yue and Feng Qing walk over, Bai Yu stuck his head out from the carriage and said, ”My ancestors, you two have finally come. If you don't come soon, we will have to find you in the city.”

”You didn't understand it in the beginning, but who knows what the first firework was!” Mu Ru Yue was depressed to begin with, as she didn't expect Bai Yu to still dare to complain. If it wasn't for Bai Yu not explaining clearly, why would she and Feng Qing use such lame reasons to come out from the crowd?

Bai Yu was stunned by Mu Ru Yue's words and didn't bother to retort. He just said, ”Forget it, it's good that you're here. Please come up quickly. We're leaving now. We'll have to change shifts later. We won't be able to leave the North Gate.”

When Mu Ru Yue and Feng Qing heard that, they naturally got into Bai Yu's carriage as well.
