Just then, a young man in black rode out of the darkness on horseback.
"drive--"
They are getting closer and closer.
Even though she knew it wouldn't matter much if the horse bumped into her, she couldn't help but step aside to let it pass, her back bumping into a cool, firm chest.
However, none of this bothered Wu Yue. What surprised her was the man's eyes and brows; his appearance was clearly that of Lu Shu after he had grown up.
Black clothes... black clothes...
Is he the guy named He Xieyan mentioned in the historical records? The young ruler of Shu, ruthless, sinister and tyrannical.
She possessed a face as beautiful as the mountains and the moon, and a figure as exquisite as jade, yet she was disliked by the world.
Tonight marks the beginning of the new year. The capital city is bustling with activity, cranes cry out, fireworks light up the sky, and the people's faces are filled with undisguised joy.
"The Book of Mountains and Seas was destroyed a thousand years ago, and several fragments of the book fell here. Fuzhu and Lushu were among them." Yan Chiyu's voice, devoid of any emotion, came from behind. Wu Yue was stunned and felt a pang of sadness in her heart.
"The events of tonight are not mentioned in history books because they have been erased."
Yan Chiyu released his hold on Wu Yue and whispered, "Follow He Xieyan, he's going to the palace."
Wu Yue nodded, and Yan Chiyu carried her through the air.

In the eyes of the world, Prince Fuzhu was gentle, kind, and spoke in a soft and gentle manner.
He cared deeply for the land of Tianze and all its people.
But no one expected that he would protect the ruthless ruler of Shu in every way.
He said they were friends.
People wonder how people with such different personalities could come together and become friends.
...
Fu Zhu originally had no intention of telling He Xieyan his feelings.
But that night, while drunk, he couldn't help but say, "I don't have anyone I like, but I have someone I want to protect."
Protect him for life, together with this world.
His birth was destined to be extraordinary; he was the crown prince of Tianze, the future ruler of Tianze. He had countless subjects behind him, and he should not be held back by personal feelings.
But only this once, he selfishly wanted to protect someone, to protect a bad kid who hadn't grown up.
Fu Zhu sat in the Crown Prince's bedroom, took off the broken flute from his waist and held it lightly in his hand—the broken flute was cold, just like his heart.
"Fuzhu, as the Crown Prince of Tianze, you already have a heavy burden on your shoulders that makes it hard to breathe. Why do you still have to protect that guy He Xieyan?"
“I know you are friends, but this friendship has crossed the line.”
“You look so mature, but have you ever thought that you haven’t even come of age yet? In my heart, you’re still just a child.”
"Your Highness, I hate everyone in the world, but I find you the only one I like. I want to be your friend."
"Fuzhu! Kill him! Kill He Xieyan, this scourge!"
In a lifetime, one hears so many things that it becomes impossible to distinguish who is telling the truth and who is lying, who is sincere and who is insincere.
But none of these were reasons. His hesitation and indecisiveness stemmed from the fact that in his heart—
Everyone in the world is just as important as He Xieyan.
He sat quietly by the window in a moon-white brocade robe. The lonely moon was cold and clear, and the light it cast made him feel cold, just like the frost between his brows and eyes.
The process is slow and gentle...
The pen fell to the ground.
The ink spread out.
He Xieyan:
I've said we're friends, and we'll be friends for life. Others may not know, but I know you're kind. Tell the world you're not just what you seem; you also care about the world.
I've protected the Shu Kingdom for you. I...
If there's a chance, let's be friends again in the next life. I'll be here waiting for you, waiting for you to bring a pot of "Intoxicating Jade Heart" wine, and we'll drink together until dawn.
Outside the main hall.
The boy in black cursed and swore the whole way.
"Fuzhu! You fool! I've already decided to abdicate, you just wait!"
The young man in black galloped smoothly along the way. When his horse stopped at the bottom of the stone steps, he dismounted and ran, his clothes fluttering in the wind, as fast as a blur.
