Chapter 15: A Young Man’s Dream, a Hard Regret
Mo Ruyan read Yan Yan's letter carefully.
Yan Yan said in the letter that she heard that she was kidnapped by gangsters and was frightened and recuperating in the mansion, so she specially organized a poetry gathering on the painting boat and invited her to participate in order to get rid of the bad luck for her.
The guests invited to the Huafang Poetry Festival are all well-known young figures.
Most of them are second-generation officials in the imperial city.
Mo Ruyan didn't find it strange that the other party invited her to participate in the poetry gathering on the painted boat.
It just so happened that she was about to get moldy staying in the palace. Now with the invitation from the seventh princess Yan Yan, her father had nothing to say. She couldn't afford to offend the royal family.
The princess has specially sent you an invitation and even wrote you a letter. If you don't attend the party, it would be a bit ungrateful.
If it were to be spread by someone with ulterior motives, you would be accused of disrespecting the royal family.
Lord Mo is not a prince with a blood relationship with the royal family of the Great Yan Dynasty, but a king of a different surname who was conferred a title for his outstanding military exploits.
Today, the Great Yan Dynasty is in turmoil due to internal and external troubles.
Especially recently, the man above seemed to have developed feelings for the king of a different surname in the Great Yan Dynasty, so they had to act carefully to avoid being plotted against.
After a while, Mo Ruyan went to meet Lord Mo with Yan Yan's invitation letter.
After seeing Princess Yanyan's letter, Lord Mo thought for a moment and nodded, "Since the Seventh Princess has invited you, go if you want. Come back early after the poetry party is over. Don't stay outside. The murderer has not been found yet and it's dangerous outside."
"Thank you, Dad." Mo Ruyan showed a happy smile on her face.
"Uncle Xu, please follow Ruyan and protect her safety for me." Lord Mo looked at the old man beside him and said.
Xu Bo smiled on his wrinkled old face and nodded slowly in agreement: "Well, don't worry, Ruyan is a child I have watched grow up, I won't let anything happen to her."
"With you, Uncle Xu, following me, I feel at ease." Lord Mo showed a hint of respect in his eyes.
"Dad, I want to take Liu Yang with me to have a look." Mo Ruyan proposed again.
Hearing this, Lord Mo hesitated for a moment, then said, "It depends on what he wants to do. But let me make it clear in advance that since you have decided to take him with you, you must be more careful. He is a rough man who has never learned etiquette and acts freely and unconventionally. Don't let him have unnecessary conflicts with those people in the imperial city."
"Yes, I will keep an eye on him. Besides, with Uncle Xu around, no one else dares to touch us. My daughter will leave first."
After saying that, Mo Ruyan happily went out and headed towards the courtyard where Lai Yang lived.
Lord Mo sighed slightly, turned his head and looked at Uncle Xu, a deep look appeared in his eyes: "Uncle Xu, please take good care of Ruyan and that kid. Don't let him get into trouble before the matter is investigated clearly."
"Your Majesty, the young princess seems to have some special feelings for that young man Liu Yang. Are you going to intervene?"
"Let the young people handle their own affairs. Ruyan has grown up, and I can't control her all the time."
Lord Mo looked down at the scroll on the desk, picked up the pen beside him with one hand, and spoke slowly.
In an instant, Xu Bo understood that his prince obviously had a good impression of the young man.
If the truth of the matter were to be uncovered, it would prove that he had indeed had a relationship with the eldest lady.
With his talent, if he joins the Wuwang Palace, perhaps he can help them in the future.
Of course, even if they found out he was lying, keeping this person around would make it easier for them to monitor and observe him.
The other side.
Mo Ruyan failed to find Lai Yang at his residence, but as expected, she later discovered him in the library.
"Look, I hide in the library and read books every day. I'm not worried that you will turn me into a nerd. I'm already like a piece of wood, and now I've become a nerd."
Mo Ruyan sat down in front of Lai Yang and rolled her eyes in annoyance.
Mo Ruyan was becoming less and less willing to hide her personality in front of him, and Lai Yang had almost gotten used to it in the past few days.
He put down the book in his hand, touched his chin with one hand, moved his eyes to the other's flat and smooth belly, and asked in a strange tone: "What's wrong with you today? Did you have your period today?"
Hearing this, Mo Ruyan blushed with shame and said angrily: "No!"
"There will be a garden poetry party in three days. You will go with me."
"No."
Lai Yang answered without any hesitation, with a prompt decision.
Mo Ruyan was completely stunned. I, the great Princess Wuyan, came to invite you to accompany me to the garden poetry party, and you said you didn't want to go? !
Mo Ruyan stood up angrily, put her hands on her hips, and said in a deep voice: "I came here with good intentions to invite you to accompany me to the garden poetry party, and you actually said you don't want to go? You must go. If you don't go, you are not giving me face."
"It's not that I don't want to go, it's that I can't go." Lai Yang sighed and spread his hands helplessly.
"If you don't explain the reason today, I will pester you all day long, and you can forget about reading."
Mo Ruyan seemed to be threatening, but she did not give people a sense of oppression at all. Instead, she looked kind of fierce and aggressive.
"Have you forgotten? I am still a wanted criminal of the imperial court. I should try to avoid crowded places to prevent being recognized. You asked me to accompany you to the poetry party. If someone recognizes me, it will not only cause trouble to you, but also to Prince Wu's Mansion. It is totally unnecessary. Go ahead and have fun. I won't go. I think it's good to read quietly by myself."
Are you kidding? Isn't it better to live a quiet life? He doesn't want to live a leisurely life, but he has to take risks and make his life more difficult. Is his brain still broken?
Although his Qi and blood power has reached the level of a seventh-grade martial artist, this strength is still not enough for him to walk around in the imperial city where there are many experts and dangers everywhere.
He really didn't want to cause any more trouble and just wanted to wait for Lord Mo to find out Liu Zhaodi's identity before making any plans.
However, after hearing his words, Mo Ruyan chuckled and said happily: "I thought it was something else. I have already told my father about this matter. He said that he would have someone help you solve it. You don't have to worry about it anymore. Even if someone recognizes you, it doesn't matter. With the power of my Wuwang Mansion, no one dares to offend us easily. Now you can rest assured to accompany me to the garden poetry party, right?"
I can't rest assured at all. Lai Yang complained in his heart.
Seeing that he still seemed to be worried, Mo Ruyan curled her lips and sat in front of him again. She put one of her fair and delicate hands on the table and the other hand lazily supported half of her pretty face. She said softly, "You, sometimes you think too much. Don't you think it's tiring?"
Tired?
Lai Yang's eyes were vague, as if he was lost in memories. It seemed that he had always been like this.
Whether in his previous life or this life, he doesn't like to do risky things and will try his best to avoid dangerous things.
However, as much as he could, he couldn't really give up everything and turn a blind eye to some things.
For example, after Liu Zhaodi died, if he could let go of his feelings and live in the town for three to five years, who could bully him, who dared to bully him?
Kill him with one sword.
For example, when he saw Mo Ruyan looking at him for help in Huangcheng Town, he hesitated and struggled in his heart, but finally he chose to take action and killed Tian Liang.
Even though this might bring him a lot of unnecessary trouble.
But he couldn't bear to watch Mo Ruyan being taken away by Tian Liang, and even potentially being raped and having her virginity taken away.
Even though she doesn't look like Liu Zhaodi, he would still be inclined to save her.
He was once a passionate young man who had a heroic dream of traveling the world with a sword.
But later, the passionate young man was eventually smoothed over by the cruel reality.
