Bai Lishen looked at her worried face, lowered his head and said, "Ma Qingyi...is dead!"
"..." Chun Ling's face was a little stiff, and suddenly she smiled bitterly, "Impossible, don't joke with me!"
Bai Li looked at her with a deep frown and said seriously, "I didn't lie to you!" He stood up and walked over to grab Chun Ling's arm, but Chun Ling slapped her arm away. Chun Ling cried and said, "Impossible, the lady can't die!"
Bai Lishen looked at her sad face and regretted telling her. Suddenly, Chunling ran out. Bai Lishen hurriedly followed her, grabbed her and asked, "Where are you going?"
"I want to go back to Mo Yu Country, I want to go back to Prince Fu Qing's Mansion! I want to find the young lady..." Chun Ling shook his hand, struggled, and cried sadly.
Bai Lishen looked at her, pulled the struggling Chunling over and hugged her tightly, saying comfortingly, "I know it's hard for you to accept it. We are all sad that she left us, but calm down. Qingyi wouldn't want to see you like this!"
Chunling finally calmed down and cried in Bai Lishen's arms.
Bai Lishen's hug tightened a little more, and he patted Chunling's back with one hand, trying to comfort her.
Chunling suddenly looked up at Bai Lishen and said, "There's a box on my cabinet. Can you help me get it?"
Bai Lishen turned his head and looked over. Sure enough, there was a small, exquisite black box on the table. He stretched out his hand and handed it to her. Chunling took it and opened it. Bai Lishen looked inside and then looked at Chunling. Chunling's eyes were red. She took out the pendant and stared at it.
"This is a gift from the young lady..." Chun Ling said sadly. She suddenly broke free from him, stood up and knelt on the ground. "Please, Your Majesty, let me go back to Mo Yu Kingdom to find the young lady. I just want to go back and see her!" Bai Lishen was frightened by her actions. He hurriedly stood up and pulled Chun Ling up from the kneeling ground. He looked at her with displeasure and scolded her, "What are you doing!"
Chunling was pulled up and looked at him with a frown, her face full of sadness and pleading.
"Please let me go back!" Chun Ling cried, as if nothing could stop her determination to go back. Bai Lishen looked at her with some hesitation, holding her shoulders tightly. He sighed deeply and said, "If you want to go back, I can certainly agree to it, but... the Queen Mother might not be happy!"
Chun Ling shook her head and said with tears in her eyes, "No, doesn't the Queen Mother also like the young lady? If she knew... she would definitely agree, maybe... she would go too!"
Bai Lishen looked at her firm determination and nodded, unable to convince her otherwise. "If the Queen Mother doesn't agree, you can't disobey her! Do you hear me?"
Chunling nodded and wanted to kneel down to thank him, but before she knelt, Bai Lishen grabbed her. Chunling raised her head and looked into his bright eyes. Bai Lishen pulled her gently and Chunling stood up. Bai Lishen looked at her and reached out to touch her face. He seemed to want to say something but stopped himself. In the end, he didn't say it. Chunling also lowered her head and didn't ask him what he wanted to say!
Chunling looked somewhere with her eyes slanted, biting her lips lightly. Just as she was about to raise her head to say something, Bai Lishen put down his hand on her shoulder and said, "Okay, you take a rest, I'll take you there tomorrow!" Then he turned and left.
Chunling was stunned for a moment, and when she came to her senses, Bai Lishen had already left.
Chunling fell on the bed, looking at the small pendant in her hand, holding it tightly against her chest, and muttered softly, "Miss, how could you... leave Chunling alone like this!"
Moyu's palace is full of the prince's palace
Mo Yufeng sat under a tree in front of his study, with empty wine jars beside him and another in his hand. He slowly raised his head, poured apricot blossom wine into his mouth, and looked at the sky. Suddenly, a line of poetry emerged in his mind:
Let’s drink together again and break all the willows in the wind.
Leaning against a tree, listening to the wind blowing past his ears, he slowly closed his eyes. In a trance, it seemed as if there were a pair of hands in front of him gently stroking his face. A figure gradually emerged. It was the blurry face of Ma Qingyi. Mo Yufeng suddenly opened his eyes. Standing in front of him was not Ma Qingyi, but Hong Yi. Hong Yi's face was horrified, but then he recovered, looked at Mo Yufeng, and said, "Your Majesty, the princess's father is here and wants to see you!"
"What is he doing here?" Mo Yufeng staggered to his feet. Hong Yi tried to support him, but he pushed him away. He said awkwardly, "Someone in the mansion must have leaked the news. Ma Xiong must have known that his daughter was killed!"
"..." Mo Yufeng turned and left. Hong Yi looked at his lonely yet strong and resolute back and sighed helplessly.
…
Mo Yufeng sat on a chair and took a sip of tea. Ma Xiong was brought in, followed by Wang Li. Ma Xiong had been on the battlefield for a long time and faced Mo Yufeng without a trace of fear. He said, "Your Highness, why didn't you send someone to tell me about this serious incident that happened to my daughter?"
Mo Yufeng raised his head slightly, glanced at him, and said in a cold voice, "In my heart, she will never leave!"
"..." Ma Xiong didn't say anything either, but lowered his head. It could be seen that Mo Yufeng really loved Ma Qingyi, and such a thing was unpredictable!
"Your Highness, do you know who murdered her?" Ma Xiong asked with a choked and trembling voice.
Mo Yufeng's expression remained unchanged as he stood up and said, "I don't know!"
"..." Ma Xiong turned around and looked at Wang Li and said, "You go out first, I want to talk to the prince alone!"
Wang Li glanced at Mo Yufeng, tightened his grip on the sword, lowered his head and said "Yes!" He turned and left, closing the door.
There were only two people left in the room. Mo Yufeng said softly, "General Ma, if you have anything to say, please sit down and talk!"
Ma Xiong walked over and sat down, taking out a pendant from his chest. Mo Yufeng turned his head to look at the pendant in his hand and was stunned for a moment. It was a white phoenix!
Mo Yufeng looked at it and asked, "Where did you get it from, General?"
Ma Xiong smiled helplessly, "Your Highness should recognize this pendant. Yes, it is the pendant of the Princess of Baihan Country... This pendant belongs to Qingyi!"
Mo Yufeng said solemnly, "You've known for a long time that Ma Qingyi is the princess of Baihan Country, and you've kept her by your side as your own daughter!"
Ma Xiong smiled bitterly, shedding two lines of tears. "It's too late to say anything now. She won't even know that she is a princess!"
Mo Yufeng frowned and said nothing. The two men cried silently in the room. Suddenly, Mo Yufeng asked, "Why didn't you tell her earlier?"
Ma Xiong raised his head to look at the sky, took a deep breath and said, "When I was a general on the frontier, I experienced a war. The situation was critical at that time. Fortunately, the army arrived in time and we were not wiped out. On the way back home, I saw a woman covered in blood holding a baby girl in her arms. She asked me to help her take care of the child. She left after she said her last words. I couldn't bear to leave the child behind. Later, I found a pendant around her neck and realized that she was the princess of Baihan Country. I was afraid that there would be trouble in the future, so I kept it... It is also because of this child that I never married in my life!"
