Chapter 13
There was a man standing outside the tent. He was dressed in black clothes, with his head lowered and a gloomy expression. He looked really aggrieved.
As soon as Lu Ling walked out of the tent, he met the gaze of the person in front of him and felt a little scared.
Shen Wangyou looked up at Lu Ling and slowly said, "A Ling."
Lu Ling ignored him, brushed past him and walked towards the military doctor's office.
"A Ling, listen to my explanation." Shen Wangyou held Lu Ling's hand and didn't let her leave.
Lu Ling shook off his hand and left, leaving Shen Wangyou alone.
"What else do you want to do? Since you don't like my young lady, why are you still here? Just be an official in the capital and don't bother my young lady." Qingdai pushed Shen Wangyou and scolded.
When Shen Wangyou heard this, his face suddenly darkened. He clenched his fists and said angrily, "When did I say that I don't like A Ling? I came here to make it clear to her. Also, I have resigned from my official position. I don't like being an official. I just want to be an idle person."
Qingdai was also unhappy when she heard Shen Wangyou say that.
Her young lady had never liked anything so much since she was a child.
However, this man did not know how to cherish it and reported to the emperor that the master had secretly stored military weapons, which eventually led to the destruction of the Lu family.
He was the one who caused all this, and now he has the nerve to come to the lady.
"You just want to be an idle person. Why didn't you refuse when the master recommended you? Why did you tell the emperor about it? Shen Wangyou, you ungrateful guy, don't bother my young lady."
Qingdai pushed the person back and followed Lu Ling.
Shen Wangyou spread his hands and pounded his head, but in the end he still couldn't think of any good way to make Lu Ling forgive him.
If Lu Ling ignores me, I won't be able to explain to her, and if I can't explain to her, I won't be forgiven.
Lu Ling originally wanted to break up with Shen Wangyou, but when she looked into his eyes, she didn't know what to say.
She hadn't seen such a look in his eyes for a long time, it was like the day they first met.
But she had to break up with him. She knew that no matter what happened in the family, it would be more or less related to him.
Wait a little longer. If he leaves, then we can have nothing to do with each other from now on. If he still stays here, no, Xie Yuwang will not let him stay here. As long as he ignores him, he will leave.
Lu Ling thought.
As Lu Ling thought, when Xie Yuwang saw Shen Wangyou, he just kept asking him to leave.
Shen Wangyou refused to leave, but he didn't know which tent Lu Ling was in, so he looked for him one by one, but before he found him, he was caught by Xie Yuwang.
When Shen Wangyou was captured by Xie Yuwang, Bai Xichen was also by Xie Yuwang's side.
Xie Yuwang untied his hands and said with a smile, "Master Shen, why did you come all the way to the military camp? The military camp is not a place where strangers can come and go as they please. Or did you bring a decree from the emperor?"
Shen Wangyou didn't like Xie Yuwang. When he first arrived at Lu Mansion, Xie Yuwang called him "Sister, Sister" every day, which gave him a headache.
Fortunately, less than two months later, Xie Yuwang was called to the border by his father. He thought he would never see him again, but he never expected to see him again today.
Shen Wangyou listened to his sarcastic tone, raised his head and said with a smile: "Young General, you are flattering me. I am just a commoner now, how can I have the emperor's will?"
Shen Wangyou did not answer the previous question. After all, if Xie Yuwang knew that he was looking for Lu Ling, he would definitely kick him out of the barracks immediately.
"Since you are not here to convey the emperor's will, then Lord Shen, oh no, Master Shen, please go back. The military camp is not suitable for a frail and sick person like Master Shen to come."
Xie Yuwang emphasized the words "weak and sickly", which made people very angry.
When Bai Xichen on the side heard the words "weak and sickly" said by Xie Yuwang, he stared at Shen Wangyou with wide eyes, as if he couldn't believe it.
"The young general and I hit it off right away. I wonder if I could bother you more in the future?" Bai Xichen said with a bow, holding a fan in his hand.
Bai Xichen was the Prince of Shu'an, so Xie Yuwang naturally had no way to refuse. He could only reply, "Prince Shu'an can come whenever he wants. How dare I refuse?"
Xie Yuwang had always been outspoken since childhood, and he realized something was wrong after he had spoken, so he quickly added, "Of course I welcome Prince Shuan."
"Hahaha," Bai Xichen raised his hand and pointed at Xie Yuwang, then said, "Thank you, Young General, for your permission."
After saying that, Bai Xichen pulled Shen Wangyou out of the military camp.
Only Xie Yuwang stood there, his face turning red and white.
*
For several days in a row, Bai Xichen came to the military camp to find Xie Yuwang.
Every time he came, Shen Wangyou would follow behind him. When he first entered, Shen Wangyou was still behind him, but he disappeared after a while.
"A Ling, listen to my explanation, don't hide from me."
This is the only sentence Shen Wangyou said every time he saw Lu Ling.
Lu Ling had a lot of things to do these days, and after being disturbed by Shen Wangyou, he had nothing to say to him and was not in the mood to listen to his explanation.
Just today, Shen Wangyou made Lu Ling upset again.
Lu Ling originally went to help the military doctor bandage the injured soldiers today. In the past, Lu Ling would always wash the blood-stained cable ties, but today, Shen Wangyou didn't know what was wrong with him. When he saw Lu Ling holding the basin, he snatched it away.
Naturally, everyone in the military camp saw everything and laughed while covering their mouths.
Lu Ling blushed, his ears also red, and he pulled Shen Wangyou to the river.
“Speak.” Lu Ling let go of Shen Wangyou’s hand and said coldly.
Seeing that Lu Ling was finally willing to listen to his explanation, Shen Wangyou was delighted and said, "A Ling, it was indeed not me who informed on your father's affairs. I swear to God." As he spoke, Xie Yuwang put his hand next to his head.
Lu Ling looked at him expressionlessly and motioned for him to continue.
"I was originally packing my things at home that day to prepare for our upcoming wedding," Shen Wangyou pouted like a wronged child, and said, "But suddenly Eunuch Liu came to the mansion and asked me to convey his order. I was naturally scared at that time, but I didn't dare to resist, otherwise he would say he would kill you, so I had to pretend to be arrogant when I arrived at the Lu family."
"A Ling, believe me, I never thought of hurting you." Shen Wangyou lowered his body, took Lu Ling's hands, and said sincerely.
Lu Ling pulled Shen Wangyou's hands apart, looked up into his eyes, and said, "I understand, but I think we can't go back to the way we were before. I want to take this opportunity to make things clear."
When Shen Wangyou heard this, his brows knitted together.
"We say goodbye now, and you don't have to come to the barracks again. From now on, you and I will never see each other again."
As soon as the words came out, Shen Wangyou froze in place. The sound of the river flowing around him and the sound of leaves being blown by the wind seemed to have nothing to do with him. The only sound left was the sound of his heartbeat being hit by a fist.
"A Ling, don't you believe me?" Shen Wangyou heard himself say this.
Lu Ling forced an ugly smile and said, "I believe you, otherwise I wouldn't have been so determined to marry you..."
"Then why do you want to separate from me?" Shen Wangyou interrupted Lu Ling and shouted.
"Chen Wangyou, even today, do you still think we can go back to the way we were? I can no longer go back to the way we were, and neither can you. Can we separate and live our own lives?"
"No! No!" Shen Wangyou shook his head in disbelief, almost going crazy.
"A Ling, I'll talk to General Xie on your behalf and ask him to let you leave the barracks, okay? How about we both go far away and not come back to this sad place?"
A tear fell from the corner of Shen Wangyou's eye.
"It's not good, it's not that great either. You should just go far away. I'm fine here." Lu Ling didn't seem to see Shen Wangyou's tears, nor did he see his almost crazy actions.
"What are you doing?" When Lu Ling came to his senses, Shen Wangyou had already walked to the edge of the river.
"I should have died two years ago, but you saved me. Since you don't need me, I will give my life back to you." Shen Wangyou turned around and said to Lu Ling with a smile.
Lu Ling ran in front of Shen Wangyou and slapped him.
"Chen Wangyou, are you sick?" Lu Ling's eyes turned red with anger, and he continued, "If you are sick, I can help you find a military doctor. If you are not sick, can you please stop doing this."
Lu Ling was angry and didn't care what he said, "If you want to die, then go far away and die, don't dirty my eyes here."
Everything was silent, and Lu Ling could only hear his own heartbeat.
"Forget your worries!"
Bai Xichen ran to the river and saw Shen Wangyou with his lower body wet and his feet in the river. Lu Ling beside him seemed to be angry.
"Why did you run into the river? It's not even summer yet, and you're feeling so hot?" Bai Xichen tried to break the awkwardness.
Seeing that the two of them didn’t speak, Bai Xichen pulled Shen Wangyou away and said with a smile: “Come on, let’s go. How could you be so careless and fall into the river.”
Shen Wangyou said nothing, his face pale, and was pushed forward by Bai Xichen.
Before leaving, Bai Xichen smiled and said to Lu Ling, "Thank you, Miss Lu, for taking care of our Wangyou. I'm sorry for bothering him during this time. I won't bring him next time."
After saying that, the two left.
Lu Ling's hand was still numb from hitting Chen Wangyou, and he stood there without moving.
*
"Chen Wangyou, ah Shen Wangyou, what were you doing in the river just now? Do you want to live?" Bai Xichen said hatefully.
Shen Wangyou adjusted his sleeves and said, "I really don't want it anymore."
"you……"
"But I'm betting. I bet she won't let me die." Shen Wangyou interrupted Bai Xichen.
Shen Wangyou laughed out loud and walked forward, "Fortunately, I won the bet."
Bai Xichen shook his sleeves, somewhat confused about this infatuated couple.
When they reached the gate of the military camp, Shen Wangyou suddenly turned around and asked Bai Xichen, "What did you mean just now?"
Bai Xichen played dumb and said, "What do you mean?"
Chen Wangyou glanced at Bai Xichen, who was frightened and hurriedly explained, "It's all to help you get your love back. I have to come here every day to find that fool Xie Yuwang. Now he finds me annoying and told me not to come here anymore."
"So you agreed?" Shen Wangyou asked.
"Of course I agreed. It's my fault that I failed the competition." Bai Xichen murmured.
Even though the sound was small, Shen Wangyou still heard it.
"You, the King of Shu'an, were defeated by a fool. If this gets out, how can you still govern Shuzhou?"
Bai Xichen was unhappy when he heard this and said, "What do you mean by me governing Shuzhou? I'm just an idle prince. It's not my turn to govern Shuzhou."
Shen Wangyou didn't want to talk to him anymore, so she ignored him and walked away alone.
More harm than good.
