Meng Fulin arrived deep in the peach grove and approached Yu Qianqian. He placed the guqin on the ground and slowly sat down. He gently plucked the strings with his ten fingers, and a beautiful melody slowly spread through the deep forest.
As the music began, Yu Qianqian, holding a peach blossom in her hand, gracefully leaped and began to dance nimbly under the tree, her every move as ever-changing as a sprite.
Sitting opposite Meng Fulin, who was playing the zither, he glanced at the fluttering flowers and the graceful dance of a woman in a red robe. His eyes held a warm smile, as if bathed in a spring breeze, while his hands gently plucked the strings, his movements still elegant and skillful.
Meng Fulin stared intently at Yu Qianqian dancing joyfully not far away, not even blinking. For a moment, he saw Yu Qianqian as a phoenix about to take flight, as if she were about to leap straight into the heavens at any moment.
Before the music could even reach the forest, a graceful woman appeared, landing gently amidst the falling blossoms. She landed beautifully before Meng Fulin, smiling sweetly, and said, "Meng Fulin, what do you think of my dance?"
Her smile made Meng Fulin blush and his heart race. He then subconsciously stopped what he was doing and quickly replied, "Your Majesty the Empress... looks very beautiful."
Yu Qianqian thought that the little eunuch was just flattering her, and since he had asked, he had no choice but to praise her. So she didn't take it to heart and forgot about it as soon as she turned away.
However, Meng Fulin seemed to take this matter very seriously, following Yu Qianqian all the way from the peach blossom forest to the foot of the mountain, step by step.
Watching Yu Qianqian skip and hop along in front of him, it wasn't long before she stopped by a stream. She sat down on the ground as soon as she landed, her eyes reflecting the waterfall cascading down the other side, sparkling in the sunlight.
"Your Majesty is the most perfect woman I have ever seen. If there is an afterlife, I would be willing to be your servant, even if it means being a cow or a horse." Meng Fulin stood beside her, staring at her intently, and unconsciously sighed from the bottom of his heart, his tone extremely strange.
She turned around at the sound and saw Meng Fulin with an extremely complicated expression. The bright smile on his face gradually disappeared. Although the little eunuch was indeed very kind to her, what bothered her the most was still the existence of Mu Beichen. She always felt that everything Meng Fulin did was for a purpose.
So even now, she still can't be sure whether this person is an enemy or a friend.
At this moment, she paid even less attention to the fact that the other person's words were spoken long after she had finished speaking, after countless deliberations.
Yu Qianqian did not respond immediately, but her expression suddenly changed as she turned her head slightly. She then answered irrelevantly, "I once had a very close male friend in the mortal world, but to this day, in order to seek revenge, I have had to torture his family to the point of wishing they were dead."
"Meng Fulin, do you think he would resent me if he knew everything one day?"
As he slowly raised his head to face her at close range, Meng Fulin's gaze remained cautious. Then, he asked softly, "This servant dares to ask Your Majesty, is that friend very important to you?"
"He is my last attachment in this world, and the only person I owe the most in this life. If it weren't for him, there would be no Yu Qianqian today..." Yu Qianqian's voice grew softer and softer, until the last word was so weak that it seemed as if she was about to die.
