Huang Yun said "oh" and didn't refuse anymore. He put the cloak on directly.
She was really cold, and with this cloak, she felt much warmer.
"It's so cold out here, let's get going! If you catch a cold later, I'll have to do you a favor."
Yang Feng put his hands to his mouth, took a deep breath, and replied loudly:
"Today seems to be the coldest day since the beginning of winter. Look, the horse is shivering from the cold. I'm afraid it won't be able to move faster."
Hearing him say this, Huang Yun hurriedly looked towards his horse. Sure enough, the horse's eyelashes were covered with frost, and the horse's limbs were moving forward weakly.
Her pretty eyebrows tightened instantly, and then she looked at Yang Feng in surprise.
"how so?"
The corner of Yang Feng's mouth twitched, and he replied indifferently:
"Maybe the horse has been here too long and gotten too fat, so it can't handle the cold outside!"
Huang Yun complained with a helpless tone:
"I've been riding this horse for a long time, and it's always been good. Today, I'm really embarrassed. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Mr. Yang. But there's one thing I'm not clear about. Did you come here specifically to follow me? And who ordered you to do that?"
Yang Feng expected her question, so he simply replied without hesitation:
"Prince Xi asked me to keep an eye on you."
"Oh? You're honest. What else did he ask you to do?"
"Nothing, just watching you."
Huang Yun curled his lips in disdain, glanced at Yang Feng, and asked directly:
"Tell me what you want to know."
Her words made Yang Feng stunned. He didn't expect that his thoughts were seen through by this woman.
He cleared his throat and shook his head helplessly. He was aware of Huang Yun's every move, so there was naturally nothing more to ask.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Huang Yun continued to ride forward, and Yang Feng also followed on horseback.
The two of them were silent for a while, and Huang Yun finally couldn't help but murmured:
"Perhaps you think that I came to Daning State and did these things for my country. In fact, I am not so righteous. I am just an ordinary woman. Although I have the title of Princess Yunmeng, no one cares. I do this for one person, a person who is connected to me by blood."
Her confession made Yang Feng stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that she would tell him everything about her without any preparation.
He asked gloomily:
"Is it your mother?"
Huang Yun turned his head and looked at him with surprise.
"How do you know?"
"The person you share a blood relationship with must be your parents. Your father is the King of the North Sea Kingdom and does not need you to rescue him. So this person must be your mother."
Huang Yun pulled the corner of his mouth, gave a helpless smile, and then nodded.
"Yes, it's my mother. Although I haven't seen her yet, I can feel that she longs to see me and she also longs to regain her freedom. So, I must find a way to rescue her..."
When Huang Yun said this, there were traces of tears in his eyes.
Yang Feng did not ask any further questions, but sighed to himself and said with a sad face:
"Actually, I'm just like you. I do these things against my will for someone, but that person is not related to me by blood."
Hearing this, Huang Yun looked at him in surprise, frowned, and asked:
"Is this person a woman?"
Yang Feng nodded, "Yes, it's a woman."
Although Huang Yun didn't know who the woman Yang Feng was talking about, she could tell from his expression that this woman was very important to him.
She looked at the dark sky, tightened her cloak, and said with a disdainful smile:
"So, we're all forced into this! Throughout life, we're never able to act according to our own wishes. We might even become pawns in the hands of others, at their mercy, with no room for rebuttal."
After being with her for five years, Yang Feng knew that she was actually very kind-hearted. If she was not forced, she would not do anything to let down Prince Yu's Mansion.
Thinking of this, he sighed secretly and said softly:
"Since there's no choice, then don't dwell on it. I know you can't bear to kill me, and neither can I. I've been in Prince Yu's mansion for five years, and both Prince Yu and Princess Yu have treated me with unwavering love. Those children even consider me their own family, and yet... yet I'm always ready to kill them. Ha! This is truly ironic and extremely cruel."
There was a gloom in his words. Huang Yun bit his lip tightly and nodded sadly in agreement.
"Yeah, ever since I received this mission, I haven't been able to sleep through a single night. I always dream of those children dying in front of me, my hands stained with their blood. Many times, I would wake up from the dream and start to reflect on myself..."
Listening to Huang Yun's words, Yang Feng sighed deeply, then nodded.
"You're right, but we have no choice. In fact, the reason I came to you today is to find someone to talk about these things, but I can't and dare not tell anyone else. Tomorrow, my hands will start to be stained with blood, and I'm not sure if I can come back alive tomorrow. So I want to ask you for help with something..."
Having said that, Yang Feng tightened the reins of the horse, and when the horse stopped, he looked up at Huang Yun.
Huang Yun also stopped his horse at this time and looked back at him, "Tell me, I will help if I can."
Seeing her agree, Yang Feng immediately pursed his lips with tears of gratitude, and said with a grin that was a little out of control:
"I've been thinking about this for a long time. I can't find anyone else to help me, so I can only turn to you. I hope you can help me out, considering that we've worked together for five years."
Huang Yun looked at him. His lips had turned purple from the cold, but his voice was still neither humble nor arrogant.
"I just said that I was used by Leng Xi because of a woman. Her name is Xiao Hui. She was the girl I grew up with. Now, she is forced to live in a brothel and make a living by performing. I wanted to redeem her, but I didn't have enough money. Leng Xi heard about this and proposed that I work for him for five years. After the five years are up, he will redeem Xiao Hui for me. Now there are still six months before the five years are up. A few days ago, Leng Xi told me that as long as I cooperate with you, you can let me take Xiao Hui away after the 18th day of the first lunar month. Just when I was secretly happy about this, he asked me to do this kind of murder again. For Xiao Hui, I have no choice. But I am afraid that I may not be able to complete tomorrow's mission, or that he will kill me before I can kill General Ling. So I want to ask you, if I really die, can you find Leng Xi for me and ask him to fulfill his promise to me, let him release Xiao Hui and give her freedom. That way, I can die with my eyes closed..."
