Chapter 168 The Meaning of Light, Princess Ling Visits
Hearing that Yue Heng not only did not blame the two for deserting the battlefield, but also instructed them to take good care of the chief, the usually insidious and cunning Huo Liaoye was rarely ashamed and wished he could dig a hole in the hall with his toes.
Obviously, the empire is at a critical juncture, and this shield is most suitable for protecting Yue Heng himself, but he sent it out without hesitation...
No wonder the people of the empire always say that their king is a pioneer unprecedented in the entire fairyland, a saint, a forerunner, and the true light.
Now he truly acknowledged this statement.
Huoliaoye did not join the empire when it was at its weakest, but joined when the empire had gradually developed, so he once disdained the fact that the dark night fairies called Yue Heng "light".
But now he understood that Yue Heng's kindness and dedication were light, and he told the fairies of the dark night where to go.
When light first appears, it often cannot illuminate anything, but it allows people in the dark to understand what light is like and where it is.
Just as Huo Liaoye was sighing, a fairy walked into the hall gracefully but quickly, bowed and wanted to report something, but after looking at Huo Liaoye, she stood still and said nothing.
Obviously, although Huo Liaoye's act of deserting the battlefield did not anger Yue Heng, it left a knot in the hearts of the imperial officials.
However, Yue Heng waved his hand and said, "The Fire Lord is not an outsider, just say it directly."
The imperial official curled his lips, but finally said in a frustrated tone: "Yes, King, Princess Ling is here."
"Princess Ling?" Yue Heng thought for a moment. He didn't expect that she would come just now. It seemed that Hua Ling had been struggling in her heart for a long time.
But at this moment, Huo Liaoye suddenly proposed to leave, "Moon Lord, I won't bother you any more here. I have to take Xiaoyi to the Fire Rainbow Desert as soon as possible."
Yue Heng raised an eyebrow, but didn't say anything. He just nodded to show that he understood, and then watched Huo Liaoye leave.
Huo Liaoye breathed a sigh of relief after leaving the Mirror Palace. In fact, he was not that anxious, but he also saw that the official did not trust him, and Huo Liaoye expressed his understanding for this.
It was obvious that he and Prince Jin had no intention of participating in the war, but the empire had given them many resources before.
Although he and Prince Jin also provided support for the Empire's weapons, they still owed the Empire a lot.
Everyone was planning to leave, and Huoliaoye was too embarrassed to continue interfering in the empire's affairs. Rather than waiting to be mocked by others, it would be better for him to leave.
On the other side, Yue Heng had followed the imperial officials all the way to the office at the gate of the inner city. Yes, it was the office where Qiluo and Xingduo were waiting.
No matter what fairy you are, unless you can force your way through the protective shield, you have to wait here according to standard procedures.
From a distance, Yue Heng saw a fairy covered in a white robe staring intently at the imperial people coming and going at the city gate.
However, the white robe was not wide enough, and the pink hem of the skirt, the few golden hair showing from the hood, and the butterfly wings occasionally showing from the cuffs still exposed her identity.
"It seems that Princess Ling is still a little timid, otherwise she wouldn't cover herself with a white robe." Yue Heng was a little amused.
In fact, he had no ill will towards Princess Ling. After all, he was not the Fairy of the Dark Night and had not endured any oppression. It was just that the people of the empire were badly harmed by her.
Yue Heng did not descend immediately, but covered himself and the fairy beside him with a white robe, and then landed gracefully next to Princess Ling.
"I have long heard of your great name, Princess Spirit of the Mother of Life."
The sudden sound frightened Hua Ling so much that he trembled all over. He quickly turned around and took a defensive posture, looking vigilantly at the two white-robed fairies in front of him.
The taller fairy in white robes chuckled, "Princess Ling, don't be nervous. There is no danger inside the empire. Besides, didn't Princess Ling want to see me herself?"
"So you are--Moon Lord Yue Heng?" Hua Ling tilted his head in confusion.
The tall fairy in white robe nodded.
"Are you really Yue Heng, the Lord of the Moon? Isn't this your empire? Why are you wearing a white robe?" Seeing the tall fairy nod, Hua Ling became even more confused, but his guard remained unchanged.
It is somewhat unbelievable that a king of a country has to wrap himself in a robe when traveling in his own country.
The tall fairy in white robe slightly lifted a corner of her hood, revealing her handsome face so Hua Ling could see it clearly. "Have you confirmed it now, Princess Ling?"
Seeing Yue Heng's face, Hua Ling finally felt relieved, "It is indeed the Moon Lord, but why do you want to hide your identity?"
"Well, how should I put it? First of all, I must correct a mistake in Princess Ling's previous words. The empire has never been my empire. The empire has always been the empire of the people."
"Secondly, I wear a white robe for you!"
"What do you mean?" Under the hood, Hua Ling was first shocked by Yue Heng's first sentence, and then frowned because of the second sentence.
She naturally didn't think that the King of the Empire had any interest in her. A king who could hold the fairies in his heart would never be the kind of foolish king who only had love in his heart and eyes.
The meaning of his second sentence was that he might have made some negligence that caused the king of a country to have to use a hood to cover his identity.
When she thought of this possibility, Hua Ling suddenly felt guilty. Excessive kindness always made her involuntarily take the responsibility on herself.
"Are you feeling guilty?" Yue Heng suddenly asked.
Hua Ling was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
"Because I wear a white robe?"
"Um."
Yue Heng burst out laughing, but it was not a mocking laugh, "There's no need to feel guilty about such a small matter, but I think I know why you became the driving force behind the tragedy of the Dark Night Fairy, because you are kind~"
"Haven't you noticed by now that many fairies passing by are looking at you?"
"How could it be!" Hua Ling was startled, then quickly looked around. The fairy whose eyes met hers immediately lowered her head.
The people of the empire are not fools. The butterflies that pop up from time to time around Princess Ling are too conspicuous.
"It's actually true... So have I been discovered?" She muttered to herself in disbelief.
"Not yet," Yue Heng denied her guess, "Everyone is just guessing, but if I come to see you directly as the king of the empire, I'm afraid I won't be able to hide it."
"I think you probably don't want to be discovered so early."
Hua Ling could not see Yue Heng's smile under his hood, but she could hear the kindness in his tone. This king was completely different from the brutal and ferocious king as rumored in the alliance.
"Thanks."
"So you want to come with me and tour the empire like this?"
"Yeah." Hua Ling nodded, then added, "Thank you."
Yue Heng patted Hua Ling's shoulder as if he had a headache, "Princess Ling, there is no need to thank me all the time. There are not so many things in the whole fairyland that are worth your gratitude."
"You are just too kind."
…………
Following Yue Heng, Hua Ling came to the school built by the empire.
Through the bright glass, many newly born fairies of the night, little fairies, and elves sat together and chattered as if there were no barriers between them.
On the podium, a fairy who looked ordinary in red Confucian dress was listening to the noise below with a headache on her face. However, judging from the bulging veins on her hands, it was estimated that the little guys were bound to be beaten.
It was just an ordinary scene, but Hua Ling couldn't help but tremble.
"It's lovesickness." She said firmly.
