”Forty-nine, let's go.” He closed his eyes and ordered.
”Yes.” He jumped into the carriage and began to drive the horses. The wheels of the carriage began to rumble as the carriage moved further and further away. Gradually, they left the vicinity of the Prime Minister's Estate.
His heart was in incomparable pain. Two streams of clear and cold tears slowly rolled down his jade-like face. His fists were tightly clenched — —
Goodbye, big sister …
Goodbye...
This winter came earlier than usual.
The first round of snow fell in the early winter. It had been snowing for three days and three nights. The Residence of Prime Minister was wrapped in silver, and a few plum blossoms blossomed in the snow-white world, appearing exceptionally beautiful.
”Elder sister …” Lian Ruyue was in her room drinking green tea. Suddenly, a clear voice came from her mind.
She suddenly sat up straight and asked, ”Is Yi'er back?”
When the young girl heard this, she helplessly shook her head and said, ”Miss, the young master has already left for more than a month.”
”Oh …” Lian Ruyue said softly before slowly sitting down. A hint of bitterness appeared on the corner of her mouth as she said, ”I think it's just a hallucination.”
A month ago, Lian Meng had suddenly left without saying goodbye. The entire Prime Minister's Mansion was shocked, even Yan Qing had sent out a large number of men to search everywhere, searching for it wherever it might go. However, Lian Meng seemed to avoid it on purpose, and continued searching for seven days straight without leaving even a trace.
His mother and his first wife sighed all day long and washed their faces with tears, worrying about the safety of the incantation.
Because he could not show off, Yan Qing had been secretly searching for the whereabouts of the Lian Lian Tactic, but the Lian Tactic seemed to be determined to not let anyone find it.
Only Lian Ruyue knew why Lian Lian Fang left …
He thought that even if someone tried to assassinate him, he would die far away from the Prime Minister's residence. If no one could find his body, then no one would investigate his death and she and her mother would not be implicated.
This was how stupid Lian Fu was. His heart was as clear as a mirror.
”Eldest Miss, the snowy scenery outside is so beautiful. Why don't we go out and take a look?” Qing Dai said from the side.
”Sure.” Lian Meng Yue recalled that ever since the snowfall, she had always been holed up in the Immortal Lotus Courtyard and never left.
Fairy Qingmei took a cloak for her and a handbag for her before heading out. Lian Ruyue walked all the way to the back garden.
She stood silently in the corridor. She was wearing a dress with red embroidery and silver threads. Under her snow-white fox fur coat, she seemed to have merged with the scenery of the snow —
At this moment, the entire back garden was covered in a snow-white robe. A few children were playing in the snow, creating a joyous atmosphere.
At this moment, Lian Yueyue seemed to see a bright young man running towards her from afar. He was wearing a gown with a full blue silk collar and long pleats, and the front and back of his robe were embroidered with large golden patterns of willow leaves and lake blue. He had a bright yellow white jade belt around his waist, and a gold crown of purple jade on his head.
Beautiful as a jade, beautiful as a jade tree.
Where are you now, and is it snowing over there?
Lian Ruyue's face slowly revealed a faint smile. She bent down and picked up a lump of snow. She watched the snow slowly melt and disappear in her hands before turning into water that dripped onto the ground — —
”Eldest Miss!”
At this time, Leng Mei quickly ran over while treading on the snow. When she arrived in front of Lian Ruyue, she said with a heavy expression —
”During the battle of Zhou Liao, Xiao Zhenhai had won a great victory. Now that he has returned to the capital, the Emperor has led the princes and officials to personally step out of the city gates to welcome him. Right now, all of the citizens of the capital have placed red cannons in front of their doors to welcome the triumphant return of General Xiao …”
