Lu Xian was running away, covering the wound on his chest with his hands. Blood was gushing out, his mind was in a trance, and while he was trying to find a way to escape, he couldn't help but think of his dream -

If he is like this, what should Luo Lingyu do?

Liu Mu would never let the secret of his regicide be known to the world. In his dream, Cousin Luo went to visit the sick Liu Mu. Did she really become suspicious and run into those Taoist priests? It could even be said that Cousin Luo was worse off than himself. Cousin Luo might have directly heard the conversation between Liu Mu and those Taoist priests...

It was raining heavily and the forest was dark. He ran through mud and water, and the guards died one by one. In the end, there was no guard left by Lu Xian's side. He was the only one left running in the endless forest, trying to escape, but at this time, he couldn't even tell the direction.

Liu Mu followed behind, slowly catching up with him like he was teasing a toy.

"ah--"

Lu Erlang screamed, and was caught by vines while running, and fell down. He rolled in the mud, hit a tree, and rolled down the slope. Liu Mu narrowed his eyes and rushed over, only to see the man rolling down the rugged, green mountain slope. It was raining heavily, and Lu Erlang disappeared.

Stunned for a moment, Liu Mu asked: "Where is down there?"

The subordinate beside him replied: "Xuanwu Lake... Sir, are you still chasing?"

Liu Mu's hand holding the sword trembled: Xuanwu Lake. With Lu Erlang's weak physique, it is almost impossible for him to survive after falling down the mountain. And Xuanwu Lake is so big, how easy is it to find a dead person?

Liu Mu put away the sword: "Don't chase him anymore. Clean up the traces and make it look like Lu Erlang went to the mountains to play and unfortunately fell to his death. Don't let people see any traces of fighting or the things from our Hengyang Palace."

The subordinates responded, and flew up and down in the forest like kites, and went to clean up the battlefield behind them. Liu Mu stared at the dark slope for a long time, scanning it inch by inch, and when he was sure that Lu Xian was not in sight, he slowly turned around and left. He felt numb in his heart, thinking that Lu Erlang kept pestering him——

Flattering: "Sir, what do you think of my cousin?"

Alert: "Sir, don't set your sights on my cousin."

Over and over again, surrounding Luo Lingyu, Lu Xian made everyone in the chaos and wanted to strangle him to death.

However, Liu Mu did not strangle him, but killed him.

Liu Mu closed his eyes.

After midnight, he returned to the Hengyang Palace, changed his clothes and took a bath to get rid of the unbearable smell of dirt and blood. In the study, he met his staff member, Mr. Kong, who was waiting for him worriedly. Mr. Kong was so old, but he stayed up all night because he was worried about this young man. He was waiting in the study, and when he saw Liu Mu's expressionless and pale face, he immediately understood that things were going in a bad direction.

Mr. Kong felt a tightness in his chest.

Liu Mu looked at him, as if he was studying whether he was trustworthy. After studying for a long time, Liu Mu whispered to Mr. Kong: "Kill all the guards who went out with me tonight. Move gently, don't let people notice that the Hengyang Palace has changed its guards."

Mr. Kong's eyes widened: "...My Lord!"

Those people have followed Liu Mu for so many years!

But the young man had already closed the door, his back stiffened, and he was unwilling to listen to Mr. Kong's muttering.

…

Lu Jilang is not dead.

He didn't know what state he was in. He was in great pain, conscious, but unable to wake up. This confused and conscious state made him lose consciousness for a moment, and then he heard the girl crying softly.

Hearing the girl crying, he stumbled along the way. Before he fell asleep, he was being chased by the King of Hengyang, but after he fell asleep, he arrived at a strange house. It was still raining heavily, and the rain did not stop. After walking around the pond in the courtyard for a long time, Lu Erlang realized that this was the courtyard where his cousin Luo lived in his dream.

In the dream, after cousin Luo and Prince Hengyang returned to Jianye, they did not live in Lu's house anymore, but rented a yard outside. In reality, Lu Erlang had looked for this yard and bought it specifically to prevent cousin Luo from living there again. And now he was walking on cement and came here...

It was like I was dreaming again.

Lu Erlang stood by the window, the rain was pouring down, he looked up, saw the dim light in the window, and heard the girl in the dormitory still crying. He saw the girl's figure through the window, and trembled out: "...Is it cousin Luo?"

The person in the dream naturally would not answer him.

Luo Lingyu lay on the table and choked up. Luo Yunhuan said in a clear but sad voice: "Sister, have you really decided to marry the Prince of Hengyang? Is there really no other way? If you marry, what will happen to my third cousin?"

Lu Xian outside the window was stunned: ...This was the first time he clearly heard Luo Lingyu admit something in his dream.

Lu Xian's heart was beating wildly.

Luo Lingyu's mournful voice has already sounded: "Fan Lang is forcing me to surrender with the marriage certificate, and I have discovered the secret of King Hengyang. In addition to marrying King Hengyang and promising that I will never betray him, what other options do I have? I shouldn't have visited the sick for the sake of a good reputation... Who cares whether he lives or dies?" Fan Qingchen forced the marriage, and only by inviting another powerful person can the marriage be suppressed and the Fan family be forced to cancel the engagement. King Hengyang wants to kill her, and the only way to avoid being killed is to become his person.

"But, but..." Luo Yunhuan said, "Maybe if I ask my third cousin for help, there may be a way..."

Luo Lingyu heard this, covered her face and cried again, angrily: "He is angry with me and refuses to talk to me. I went to him, but he turned his face away and scolded me. He was already unhappy to offend Fan Lang, and with the addition of the King of Hengyang... Even if he is the third son of the Lu family, he can't stand the power of both sides."

Lu Xian thought, yes, when he was not messing up the situation in the dream, Lu Yun was still quarreling and making a fuss with his cousin Luo, sometimes reconciling, sometimes quarreling again. But Lu Yun did not hurt his eyes at this time. Lu Xian felt guilty because he wanted to help his third brother in reality and wanted to push away the King of Hengyang who was beside Luo Lingyu. He pushed people away, but disasters came one after another, causing his third brother to get his eyes burned.

In the dream, Lu Yun only had his arm injured but his eyes were not hurt, so he should still be busy working in the government office every day.
