"Mingyue?!" Fu Yueli recognized Shi Mingyue from afar. The luxurious blue dress she wore when she left him had become so tattered, and there were blood spots on her body.
Shi Mingyue turned around and saw that the person on the horse was Fu Yueli. She could no longer suppress the grievance and sadness in her heart, and tears welled up in her eyes.
Fu Yueli jumped off his horse, walked over to her in two or three steps, grabbed her shoulders, looked at her carefully for two seconds, and then hugged her tightly. Fortunately, she was fine. He let her go, and seeing that her face was already covered with tears, he wiped the tears from her face with his hands: "I'm sorry, I'm late."
Shi Mingyue shook her head and was speechless.
Fu Yueli pulled up her hand, but saw that she was gasping in pain. His heart suddenly tightened. He looked carefully and found that her left hand was broken.
"How could this happen!" He didn't expect that she was hurt so badly.
"I'm fine, don't worry." Shi Mingyue comforted him with a smile.
How could it be okay? Fu Yueli knew she was trying to comfort herself, so he said, "Go back home first and let the doctor connect you."
They were about to go back, and at this time Fu Yueli noticed Qin Zheng. Others nearby had already noticed Qin Zheng and had been wondering whether he was an enemy or a friend.
"It was you who saved Mingyue?" Fu Yueli asked when she noticed that Qin Zheng was also in a rather miserable state.
Qin Zheng did not answer his question, but suddenly asked: "Can you lend me a horse?"
Fu Yueli didn't understand, but still replied, "Okay." Then he asked each person to give up a horse.
Shi Mingyue knew Qin Zheng was leaving because no matter whether the emperor was dead or alive, the secret guards would not let Qin Zheng go. She said nothing and just watched Qin Zheng leave.
After getting on the horse, Qin Zheng did not look back, but rode away at full speed.
"Where is he going?" People nearby have already started talking.
Back at the palace, shocking news arrived: the emperor was not dead! The palace's explanation was that the emperor had been hunting in the suburbs and had accidentally fallen off a cliff. He was currently receiving emergency treatment at the palace and was not in danger of death.
When she learned the news, the doctor had just set Shi Mingyue's bones. Fu Yueli was about to go to the palace, so she came to tell her.
Shi Mingyue blurted out subconsciously: "He's not dead!"
Fu Yueli's expression changed, and the doctor next to her also looked unhappy.
Shi Mingyue immediately changed her words: "What I meant is that my father is the true dragon emperor. A lucky person will be blessed by heaven, and he will definitely not die."
The two's expressions finally returned to normal. Shi Mingyue felt relieved, thinking that Fu Yueli hadn't mentioned the emperor's broken leg, which meant that the palace didn't dare to disclose the matter yet. His leg was already broken in two, unlike hers, which was still connected by flesh. It was completely severed. Even Hua Tuo couldn't reattach it, right?
Fu Yueli went to the palace very quickly. No matter how worried he was about Shi Mingyue's condition, filial piety was more important than anything else, so he had to go to the palace.
During this time, Lu Lingyan came to ask Shi Mingyue about the kidnapping that night. Shi Mingyue couldn't say that the mastermind was the emperor, for many reasons. She replied that she was unconscious, saying that she didn't know anything about the situation.
Lu Lingyan was in a terrible headache. Lu Lingjing was knocked unconscious by a man in black. When she woke up in the wilderness the next day, she rushed to seek help. However, the men in black were masked, and Lu Lingjing couldn't describe their appearance or characteristics. Now Shi Mingyue also said that she had no recollection of the men in black, so it seemed that only Qin Zheng, who rescued her, knew. However, Qin Zheng had borrowed a horse and left that day, and there had been no news since. He went to Qin Zheng's house, but his servants said that Qin Zheng had not returned since he left. How could he investigate?
The next night, Fu Yueli finally came back.
Shi Mingyue's hand wasn't seriously injured and would heal after about two months of rest. Fu Yueli felt that he had failed in his duty as a husband. He asked distressedly, "Does it still hurt?"
"Fortunately, the doctor prescribed some painkillers. As long as I don't move, it won't hurt." Shi Mingyue was telling the truth.
Fu Yueli said: "I haven't had time to ask you, how did you get injured?"
"I accidentally fell while running away." He did fall, but Shi Mingyue just omitted the mention of falling off a cliff.
"Ling Yan said that you don't remember those people or the place?"
"I don't remember." Shi Mingyue lowered her eyelashes.
Fu Yueli had a suspicion: who had kidnapped Shi Mingyue? The person who had spared Lu Lingjing was only harming Mingyue, clearly intending to use her for some purpose, most likely targeting him. But after careful consideration, he realized his suspicions about Fu Baiheng and Fu Fenglin were unfounded. He was even more puzzled: who was the mastermind behind this?
As if she had thought of something, Fu Yueli took Shi Mingyue's right hand, pulled down her sleeve, and found a purple fingerprint on her right wrist, which was obviously from someone grabbing her. "Was this done by the man in black? Does it hurt?"
"fine."
Fu Yueli was almost going crazy. Who on earth could it be? It was a pity that he couldn't find any clues.
"By the way, you went to the palace. How is our father?" Shi Mingyue asked. She still wanted to confirm.
Fu Yueli sighed: "Father, Father broke a leg."
"Can't connect?"
"It can't be reconnected. Xu Ziling also went there and said that the broken part was bloody and the time had exceeded an hour, so it couldn't be reconnected." Fu Yueli couldn't help but wonder why all the bad things happened at once.
Shi Mingyue thought this must be retribution, but she didn't know what else Fu Xingkai would do. She couldn't just sit there and wait for death anymore, she had to take the initiative. It was a pity that the emperor was not dead. Even if he could survive at this time, he wouldn't live for much longer.
Soon it was the end of the year, and the New Year's Eve dinner was supposed to be held in the palace, but the banquet was cancelled because of the emperor's broken leg.
This year, Shi Mingyue celebrated the New Year in Prince Ling's Mansion with Fu Yueli, Lu Lingyan, and Lu Lingjing. After eating the New Year's Eve dinner, the Lu siblings left without disturbing them.
The charcoal stove beside the couch burned brightly, and the oil lamp on the table above the couch was also bright. Shi Mingyue cut a few paper-cuts to suit her taste. When they were unfolded, there were little figures holding hands, and there were also snowflakes connected together.
"Does it look good?" she asked Fu Yueli opposite her.
Fu Yueli paid attention to her left hand: "Your hand is fine, use less force."
Shi Mingyue smiled and said, "It's just folding the paper. It's fine. Don't worry."
At this time, the light illuminated her face, which was slightly red due to the high temperature in the room. She looked very beautiful. Fu Yueli's heart moved and he snatched the scissors and paper from her hands, "Let me do it."
"Hey, what do you want to cut?" Shi Mingyue asked curiously.
Fu Yueli folded the paper in half and said, "Just look at it."
Shi Mingyue supported her chin and looked at him.
