Chapter 74 Lin Qingyue is missing!
Lin Ruzhen desperately shook her head. "You can't do this, Your Highness. You can't treat Zhen'er like this. You said Zhen'er is someone you should cherish forever. Even if I lied to you, are all the vows we made to each other in the past false? No, you can't!"
Although she still couldn't express what was in her heart, Dongfang Yan seemed to understand.
He sneered and said, "I promised to keep a place for you by my side, and I will keep my word. Therefore, I will make you the most humble servant in the palace! I will let you taste what it means to live a life worse than death!"
Lin Ruzhen was still wailing as she was dragged away. But... that was all she could do.
Dongfang Yan changed his clothes and shoes, and couldn't wait to find Lin Qingyue.
Lin Qingyue—his princess—didn't completely forget him. Otherwise, she wouldn't have exposed everything when he and Lin Ruzhen were about to have their wedding night.
She must be waiting for me in Qiwu Palace right now!
She was waiting for him to discover the truth, then regret it and apologize to her.
Although it was a bit embarrassing, when he thought about his past behavior and the suffering and grievances Lin Qingyue had endured, he felt that face was not worth mentioning.
Walk faster and see her soon!
He wanted to let his beloved concubine know that he had just punished Lin Ruzhen, making her mouth and tongue ulcerated so that she could no longer speak, and also making her the most humble servant.
If my beloved concubine still can't calm down after this, then tie up that bitch and torture her to death in front of me!
The Qiwu Palace was pitch black, without a single light or servant.
He stood in the empty hall and asked Zhao An in a cold voice, "Didn't I ask you to arrange for someone to serve the princess?"
Zhao An hurriedly explained, "We had arranged for some servants to serve, but the princess didn't like crowds, so she only left Bi'er by her side. The other servants only came to clean when the princess was not around."
Dongfang Yan thought: She must have suffered too much hardship and too much pain since childhood, so she doesn't like having so many people around her. It doesn't matter, I will slowly make it up to her in the future, treat her well, and let her live a happy and fulfilling life.
There is no one in the front hall, she should be in the bedroom in the back hall.
Dongfang Yan walked lightly to the door of Lin Qingyue's bedroom and knocked: "Qingyue? My beloved, are you asleep?"
No one responded.
He knocked again: "This prince has something to say to you, do you hear me? My beloved? My beloved! If you don't say anything, then this prince will take it as your consent? This prince is coming in."
It was clearly his wife inside, but at this moment he spoke and acted with some caution.
When the door was opened, moonlight poured in, illuminating the empty bed.
Still no one.
Lin Qingyue was not there, and neither was the little maid Bier.
Dongfang Yan finally realized that something was wrong. When he went to look for them again, he found that there was no trace of the master and servant in the entire palace.
At that moment, he suddenly felt a little scared - he finally recognized his true feelings and saw through the confusion in front of him, but she was gone.
Don't you want him anymore?
No! Since God had given them the chance to meet and know each other, and had allowed them to overcome numerous obstacles and become husband and wife, then there was no way he would let go in this life!
"Find it, find it for me!"
While Dongfang Yan was looking for someone everywhere, Lin Qingyue had already reunited with Xie Shouzheng and rode out of the city on horseback.
She had no ties to the palace, so when she left, she simply packed a few pieces of clothing and left without a hitch.
Of course, this trip was dangerous and involved confidential information, so she did not take Bi'er with her. She just sent her back to the Marquis of Changning's Mansion in advance and left her to serve Liu Wanqing.
"Deputy Envoy Lin, the Prince of Jin is taking a concubine tonight, yet you're running away. You're truly the first person of all time!"
Xie Shouzheng couldn't help but admire Lin Qingyue a little.
Other women regard their husbands as their first priority, but Deputy Envoy Lin can abandon her husband and family for the sake of her mission!
With such a strong ambition for career, it's no wonder she sent her husband away for a ghost marriage.
Lin Qingyue glanced at him and said, "Why are you talking so much nonsense? Hurry up and leave!"
After leaving the city gate and traveling along the official road for half an hour, we arrived in Wan'an County, a suburb of the capital. Suddenly, we saw a man and a carriage parked on the road ahead.
The moonlight is like frost, illuminating the surrounding scenery.
A man in white stood beside the carriage with his hands behind his back, his sleeves flowing like clouds, his black hair gilded with silver by the moonlight, and his tall figure leaning slightly against the shaft of the carriage, like a banished immortal descending to the earth.
Suddenly, the old friend from my past life's memory appeared in my mind - dressed in white and with black hair, smiling as warm as spring, and the way he picked flowers and handed them to me was as clear as yesterday.
Lin Qingyue's fingertips trembled, and she subconsciously tightened the reins. The horse neighed and stopped, disturbing the quiet of the night and also the contemplation of the man beside the road.
He turned slowly, and in the light of the clear sky, a face with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes came into view.
His eyebrows and eyes are somewhat similar to Dongfang Yan's, but without that sharp edge. His eyes are gentle and calm like the moon reflected in spring water.
Unfortunately, although that face was as beautiful as jade, it was not the clear figure in my memory who was picking flowers and smiling.
Lin Qingyue was still lost in thought, and the man in front of her was about to speak when suddenly a thunderous cry erupted—"Your Highness—Ahhh, my Your Highness! I finally see you again!"
Then a swift figure flew out, knelt at Dongfang Qi's feet, hugged his thighs and cried loudly:
"Your Highness, I miss you so much—Aww, wow, wow—I can't enter the East Palace, so I can't see you. Every day I can only pass by and remember you—Aww, wow, wow—I'm glad you're okay... Your Highness, I'm Xiao Hui. Why are you silent? Why aren't you excited? Have you forgotten your Xiao Hui Hui?"
Lin Qingyue was stunned. She had known Xie Shouzheng for so long, and had seen him be cunning, nagging, and embarrassed, but she had never seen him be so... a bootlicker.
In his excitement, he even cried out like a wolf.
Dongfang Qi was also speechless.
He waited here in advance just to leave a good impression on Lin Qingyue and make her forget how miserable he was when he was a cat.
He even deliberately adjusted his standing position several times, such as what angle of moonlight would make a person look better.
When he heard the sound of horse hooves in the distance just now, he deliberately did not turn around and waited until she came closer before looking back and smiling.
But Xie Shouzheng perfectly ruined the atmosphere, and Dongfang Qi even regretted letting him come out.
"Little Gray, let go of your claws, let go! Your snot and tears are all over me, Little Gray! If you continue like this, I'll make you go back!"
Xie Shouzheng was startled and quickly stood up, wiping his tears and blowing his nose as he said, "Your Highness, please forgive me. I really didn't expect you to appear here, and Your Majesty didn't tell me in advance. I was so excited to see the master so suddenly! Your Highness, please don't chase me away. Even if you do, I won't leave!"
What could Dongfang Qi do? His pet, transformed into a human, hadn't lost its loyalty and love for its owner, so he couldn't really blame it.
