Chapter 345 The song is called "Swordsman"
Wen Lingling continued to speak to Nalan Mei beside her, "Princess, what do you think would happen if the Regent knew that Lan Xiyue was entangled with another man?"
Nalan Mei raised her eyebrows slightly, naturally understanding the deep meaning behind these words, "Wen Lingling, Lan Xiyue will be married to the Regent soon. If you spread rumors, I'm afraid even your father, the Minister of War, won't be able to protect you."
The people around heard this and started talking. "Yeah, Lan Xiyue isn't that stupid. She's getting married to the Regent soon, so why would she be entangled with another man?"
Wen Lingling smiled even more brightly, "Princess, I saw it with my own eyes, how could I make up rumors casually? The secret guard prepared by my father to be by my side is very skilled in martial arts. I have already asked him to go to the Regent's Palace to report the news. I believe that it won't be long before the Regent will come in person." There was a hint of pride in her tone, as if she had foreseen the coming storm.
Nalan Mei narrowed her eyes and thought to herself: This idiot, even if Lan Xiyue is really entangled with another man, once the Regent gets angry, they will inevitably be vented their anger on him.
But her expression remained calm. She simply looked at Wen Lingling calmly and asked, "Do you have a grudge against Lan Xiyue?"
Wen Lingling shook her head, her smile suddenly becoming more complex. "I have no grudge against Lan Xiyue, I simply dislike her. If it weren't for her, Lian Yan wouldn't have died with such bitterness. Lian Yan always loved the Regent, but he never even took her seriously. Now that Lian Yan is dead, she hasn't rested in peace yet. As her good friend, I naturally cannot stand Lan Xiyue's actions." There was a hint of sadness in her voice, as if she truly felt sorry for Bai Lianyan.
Nalan Mei sneered in her heart. She was no fool. Bai Lianyan had just died last night, and the Prime Minister's Mansion had been burned to a complete mess. Although there had been no funeral, as Bai Lianyan's good friend, how could Wen Lingling still be in the mood to visit Furong Garden today? However, none of this had anything to do with her.
Nalan Mei no longer had the heart to paint, so she followed Wen Lingling to take a look.
How could the talented men and beautiful women behind miss such a good show, so they all followed.
The group followed Wen Lingling through the winding path. Wen Lingling pointed to a place not far away and said, "Princess, they are in here. Princess, let's not go in and alert them. Let's wait until the Regent arrives."
Upon hearing this, Nalan Mei walked into a pavilion and sat down. "I am tired and will rest here. Someone, prepare some tea and snacks."
The maidservant responded and left.
Wen Lingling was very happy when she saw this, "Princess, if the Regent comes and sees Lan Xiyue alone with another man, Lan Xiyue will be finished."
Nalan Mei just glanced at Wen Lingling lightly without saying anything.
Others couldn't help but discuss, "This Lan Xiyue is really a nympho. She's almost the Regent Princess, but she's still not satisfied. She's actually hooking up with another man. Who knows who this man is?"
"Yes, yes. If the Regent comes, she will be finished."
Wen Lingling glanced at Nalan Mei, who was sitting next to her. She had deliberately not mentioned that the man with Lan Xiyue was Lu Jingzhou. If she had, the princess would have rushed in impatiently. What would the regent have to look at then? Wen Lingling was very proud. Lan Xiyue, you're dead!
Prince Regent's Palace
Mo Liyuan sat upright in the study, holding a secret letter tightly in his hand, his eyes as cold as ice.
Mo Liyuan couldn't help but frown when he heard what the letter said about Gao Yuan and Meng Yu, two useless people.
They fell just as they reached Yamen Mountain, and the soldiers suffered heavy casualties. Gao Yuan and Meng Yu fled to Fengcheng in a panic with the remaining troops. If Fengcheng was lost again, the rebels would be able to enter the capital like a free land, and the world would be in chaos. How could the people be safe?
The aura around Mo Liyuan became increasingly cold. Although he wanted to put some pressure on the emperor, he absolutely did not want to see innocent people displaced by war.
"Tianyi!" he called in a deep voice.
Tianyi came in upon hearing the voice and bowed, "Master, what can I do for you?"
Mo Liyuan's eyes were like torches. "Send people to Fengcheng immediately and make sure to defend the city. After my wedding, I will personally lead the army to crush the rebels."
Tianyi was puzzled when he heard this. "Master, haven't you always wanted to see the eldest prince and the emperor fight? Why do you want to take action yourself now?"
Mo Liyuan snorted coldly, "I didn't expect Gao Yuan and Meng Yu to be such useless people. I don't want to see innocent people suffer in the flames of war."
Tianyi was shocked when he heard this, lowered his head and responded, then turned and left, quickly arranging people to go to Fengcheng secretly.
At this moment, a secret guard hurried in and knelt on one knee. "Master, there is a man at the door who claims to have witnessed the princess behaving intimately with a strange man in Hibiscus Garden."
Mo Liyuan's face instantly darkened upon hearing this, his fists clenched until they made a creaking sound. He sneered, a cold look flashing in his eyes, "Go, take care of that man."
The secret guard took the order and left. After thinking for a moment, Mo Liyuan stood up and disappeared in the study in a flash.
On the other side, Lan Xiyue saw that Lu Jingzhou was obsessed with music, so she also exchanged a flute in the mall and played modern songs. Suddenly, a passionate and uplifting flute sound rang out, and Lu Jingzhou's mind was involuntarily drawn there.
The sound of the flute was sometimes passionate like a war drum, and sometimes gentle like the gurgling of a stream. Lu Jingzhou looked in the direction of the sound and saw Lan Xiyue holding a long flute with a focused and devoted expression. He couldn't help but smile slightly. However, as the sound of the flute continued, the smile on Lu Jingzhou's face gradually faded.
Such skills are not something that can be mastered overnight. Lan Xiyue's musical attainments clearly far surpass the reputation of "fool" spread by the outside world. The rumors in the capital seemed so pale and powerless at this moment. He couldn't help but think to himself: "Brother Ye's sister is really well-hidden."
Just as Lu Jingzhou was immersed in his thoughts, Lan Xiyue finished her song and slowly stopped playing the flute.
"What do you think of this song, Mr. Lu?" Lan Xiyue asked softly.
Lu Jingzhou nodded, his eyes gleaming with a strange light. "I have never heard such a beautiful song before. If it could be played together with the piano and the flute, it would surely have an unexpected effect."
Lan Xiyue smiled faintly upon hearing this. "Mr. Lu is truly an expert. He immediately understood the beauty of the qin and flute ensemble. Indeed, this piece was originally composed for qin and flute ensemble. Not only that, it even has complete lyrics."
Lu Jingzhou's eyes flashed with excitement when he heard this. "Oh? I really love this piece of music. I've never heard such a passionate and uplifting tune. Miss Lan, what's the name of this piece of music? Can you..."
Lan Xiyue opened her red lips slightly, a smile spread across her face as she said, "This wasn't composed by me. It was created by a master. The name of the piece is 'Swordsman'."
Upon hearing this, Lu Jingzhou's eyes flashed with surprise, and then he became excited. "When I first heard this piece, I could feel the heroic spirit of the Jianghu. It truly lives up to its reputation. The name 'Swordsman' is the most appropriate. Miss Lan, I wonder if I could have the honor of meeting the master you mentioned? I am quite interested in music and would like to discuss a few things with you. In fact, I just want to ask you for advice."
