Ever since she met Mu Rong Yuan, Lu Zi Nuo's life seemed to be controlled by a pair of invisible hands. This made her very unhappy, and she didn't think that Mu Rong Chun trusted her very much, so she decided to leave the Eastern Palace.
When Lu Zi Nuo and Di Xian really walked out of the Eastern Palace sect, they were very surprised, there was actually no one who stopped them, thinking that it was true, her identity was just a commoner, how could he enter the eyes of the people of the Eastern Palace.
It was just that while walking on the streets of Shengjing, a teenager who had just turned fourteen would still be flustered. It was fortunate that Di Xian was here.
Because he was injured, Peizhou could not return. At the very least, he had to wait for his injuries to recuperate, and his sisters would also be leaving for here, so he might as well settle down in the capital as soon as possible, so he could prepare for Fifth Sister Lu Zi Xun's escape plan.
He stayed at the Hongfu Temple outside of the city for a few days before he found a house at the Jin Ping Square. He said that it was secluded and elegant and that Lu Zi Nuo hurriedly went to take a look.
Just as they reached the entrance of the alley, they saw a woman looking in their direction. Seeing Lu Zi Nuo, she was happy for a moment, but when she came closer, she shook her head in disappointment.
Lu Zi Nuo was a little surprised, but Di Xian told him in a soft voice: "This is the Madam Liu next door. I heard that every time she goes on holiday in nativology, she would wait here for her son's return.
It felt good to have someone waiting for him to return home. Lu Zi Nuo sighed softly.
When he walked into the house that he had just set up, Lu Zi Nuo liked it. Inside the house, there were thousands of green bamboo trees covering up the entrance, it was like he had returned to the green bamboo pavilion. There was a winding corridor leading to the entrance, and on the porch hung a parrot. In the fifth room, there were three lights and two shadows. The furnishings inside were all exquisite ship's wood furniture. From the inner room, there was a small door leading to the backyard. The backyard was filled with Begonia trees, magnolia trees, and four other small steps. There was even live water from the courtyard wall that flowed in and out of the backyard.
"I heard that this is the residence of the former Prime Minister Liu Yan, and that it was bought by a learned merchant. It's indeed unique." Di Xian said.
However, Lu Zi Nuo felt depressed in his heart: "No wonder the search went so smoothly, and it was him who helped out, right?"
Di Xian lowered her head: "It was His Royal Highness King Yong who sent Song Yi to look for me, not King of Grand Ling County."
"That's good." Lu Zi Nuo browsed through the courtyard, but he was still a bit tired in the end. Just as he was about to return to his room to rest, he heard knocking on his door.
Di Xian was startled, seeing that Lu Zi Nuo had nodded his head, he went to open the door, only to see a tall and sturdy youth standing in front of the door.
When the youth saw Di Xian and Lu Zi Nuo who was standing in the middle of the garden, she was also startled: "Is this Brother Shi's house?"
"It shouldn't be. We only moved in today." Di Xian said.
The person said apologetically and turned to leave.
"Please wait a moment." However, Lu Zi Nuo asked him to stay. "Are you holding the latest 'Legend of the Spirit Dragon' in your hands?"
"That's right!" That person smiled, "You also like to read books?"
knew that this young man was the person that the Liu family's Madam Liu was waiting for today — Liu Zhen Yang.
In the Hedong Liu family, the family had officials for generations, with an ancestor who was once the Prime Minister. As for Liu Zhen Yang's name, he was familiar with it. This Liu Zhen Yang was one of the few Dacheng s that were called divine children. When he heard that his young father had started to study under him, he used his feet to measure the size of the borders of the Dacheng Empire.
From the bottom of his heart, he was even more thankful for Mu Rong Yuan's arrangements. To be neighbors with this person, it had been a blessing in disguise for three lifetimes. Lu Zi Nuo's tiredness instantly vanished into thin air, and it finally revealed the excitement a youth should have.
From the afternoon to the beginning of the month, the two chatted more and more, talking about their experiences from north to south.
"Pa!" The moonlight was like water, and the reflections of the willow branches were like crisscrossing algae as they swayed on the stone floor. In Lu Zi Nuo's eyes, they were like ghost claws with bared fangs, she had once again removed the mud seal on the wine jar, but was stopped when he was about to drink.
Lu Zi Nuo's alcohol tolerance was not bad, but after all he had not fully recovered from his injuries, and was already slightly drunk. He lowered his eyebrows and lightly smiled, and his smile grew wider and wider, the color of his sweet and beautiful peach blossoms was pure and bright, his exquisite eyebrows and eyes raised slightly, the questioning gaze in his eyes made her stare like a little rabbit, acting cute and spoiled.
Liu Zhen Yang was startled, but he still took the wine jar and drank.
"Have you been to many places?"
Liu Zhen Yang did not understand and nodded in agreement. He then saw Lu Zi Nuo opening another jar of wine and fiercely gulp down a mouthful as he muttered: "Lu Zi Yun must be really envious of you." Seeing the look in Liu Zhen Yang's eyes, Lu Zi Nuo smiled: "My sister."
It was night. Originally, it was a bit wet, but Lu Zi Nuo felt a pot of fire burning in his heart.
The liquor slid down her throat like a burning snake, igniting her spreading chest. Lu Zi Nuo was not a person who liked to use alcohol to quell her sorrows, if there were any problems, she would rather face them calmly than cry on the inside. However, even if he were to face the problem of implicating his sisters in the palace, he could not solve it, "Who would have thought that it would implicate my sisters in the palace."
"Actually, the palace isn't as bad as you think," Liu Zhen Yang said as he took a sip of his wine. Although the wine stung the people's hearts, his expression was still calm, as if he had long ago thought that suffering was a must in the world. "After all, that place is bustling with people, and as long as they want to come out, they can go in."
"I went to summer with my father when I was twelve," he said, closing his eyes slightly. Those scenes would forever exist in his mind, and they would always be fresh in his mind, "When I met a six year old girl, she heard that I came from the Shengjing and begged me to bring her to the Shengjing. She wanted to sell herself to the palace."
He seemed to see that little girl from back then again, her chin was as sharp as a knife, only her pair of black and white eyes were left, her fingers were like little worms curling up on his green and white robe. She didn't know how many people she had pleaded. She also didn't know that the war didn't only happen in Xia Kou, nor did she know that the Shengjing she wanted to go to was not the Shengjing she had heard and imagined. "He remembered when he squatted down and held her cold, stiff fingers in his hands." "I agreed."
"But she died on her way to the city gate. She didn't even get out of the summer." Liu Zhen Yang frowned slightly, "She died under an arrow, and an arrow pierced through her heart. How painful is that, but she walked away smiling. That's why the palace is probably a good place to go. "
Lu Zi Nuo laughed helplessly, the alcohol gradually passed and she had a headache. She held his head up with one hand and looked at Liu Zhen Yang: "Your consoling skills are truly lacking."
