The prince initially thought Luo Yunhe was hiding something, but when he heard her words, he was stunned.
"Just because you like white, do you think he can win? Isn't it because of something else?"
Luo Yunhe thought for a moment and said, "People say that watching chess is like watching the world, but I'm different. I like to distinguish colors, especially my favorite colors."
I prefer white, so I believe that white can only win. White can be changed into many colors, but its one constant is purity.
I'm a pretty simple person; I don't overthink things and I tend to think of things in a simplified way. So white can also be called a simple color.
If you don't even support the colors you like, then I feel that life has little meaning. Everyone has to choose their own path, so why not choose one you like?
Faced with Luo Yunhe's words, the Prince hesitated for a long time before putting down the chess piece in his hand with a smile on his face.
"Hahaha, chatting with Miss Luo is indeed very interesting. Although Miss Luo's words were very simple, they relieved my worries."
Luo Yunhe: "...Really?" She didn't understand which of her words had eased the burning anger in his heart, but he still smiled foolishly.
Seeing that the other person was in such a good mood, Luo Yunhe felt she should also express her own thoughts, so she spoke up again without any hesitation.
"Your Highness! Actually, I came here today to discuss something with you, I..."
"I know! You just want to leave the capital, don't you?"
"Yes, winter is just around the corner, and I want to go back as soon as possible before it snows, since I still have so many family members there!"
"So you don't want to see Liu Yunzhou anymore?"
He was still a little unaccustomed to Su Jingxuan becoming Liu Yunzhou Luo Yunhe, but he wouldn't deny his real name.
"Of course I want to see him. He's been gone for five or six years, abandoning me without a word or even a letter. How could I not want to see him?"
But this is a matter between my husband and me. If he were to have ulterior motives, he would definitely tell me directly. I might as well go back and wait patiently. I've already waited six years; what's a little more time?
The prince looked at the beautiful girl in front of him. Luo Yunhe was indeed very beautiful, but there were just too many beautiful girls, and countless in the capital.
However, she gave him a different feeling because the woman seemed quite interesting.
He seeks neither fame nor fortune; he simply wants to live a quiet and ordinary life in his own little corner of the world.
What kind of mindset could enable him to achieve such a state of mind?
"Miss Luo, please wait a little longer! We've already waited three months, so waiting another month or two isn't out of the question!"
"But……"
"Don't worry, I guarantee you won't have any problems in the entire capital. And Liu Yunzhou will be back soon. Don't you want to see him as soon as possible? Even if he comes back, he can't go back to you right away because he has important things to do, and he needs my help with those important things."
"If you can stay in the capital and everything is settled, I'll agree to help him, okay?"
"Your Highness, can you tell me what use I am to you? You can't just leave me here in a daze."
The prince merely gazed at Luo Yunhe before him, a faint smile playing on his lips. Yet, his eyes were incredibly deep. Luo Yunhe seemed to sense a different aura emanating from his gaze.
"Miss Luo, there are some things that are better left unsaid. I'm doing this for your sake, because knowing too much might not be a good thing for you."
"You only need to wait until everything in the capital is resolved before you can leave. I can even help you with Liu Yunzhou's matter!"
Although his words were ambiguous, Luo Yunhe realized how serious the matter was, and that his decision to leave her in the capital was probably a way to blackmail Lun Sujingxuan.
Since he was able to coerce Su Jingxuan, it meant that Su Jinxuan's current status was not low. So what exactly was his status? Why was a prince so wary of him?
What happened to the Liu family in the past?
Luo Yunhe didn't understand.
His desire to leave was rejected once again, leaving him feeling extremely frustrated. After leaving the Prince's residence, he began wandering the streets, his mind constantly replaying his conversation with the Prince earlier that day.
He seemed to have grasped many important points, but these points didn't give him certainty, and he didn't know how to proceed.
Why!
I'm a perfectly law-abiding citizen, living a peaceful life in my own little corner of the world. Who would have thought that I'd be trapped here like some kind of demon?
When will I finally be able to go back to my own territory?
At this moment, he was like an animal that habitually marks its territory, only feeling a sense of security in the places it had marked.
In this capital city, where people devour each other without spitting out the bones, he always felt extremely unsafe, as war might break out any day.
The street appeared peaceful and undisturbed at night, but undercurrents were swirling beneath the surface.
Unable to leave, Luo Yunhe's passion vanished without a trace. He stayed in his room every day, never venturing out, and even when his two maids tried to coax him out, he refused.
All I do is eat and sleep, and after I wake up I write books; I can't muster any energy for anything else.
About 10 days later, General Xu returned in triumph.
The sun hung high in the sky, casting countless golden rays, and the city gate towers of the capital stood majestically in the sunlight. The victory drums resounded throughout the heavens, stirring the hearts of the people.
The general rode a tall horse, its red tassels fluttering wildly in the wind. Bloodstains stained his black armor, yet they could not conceal his imposing heroic spirit and boldness.
His eyebrows were sharply angled, his eyes held a commanding presence, and his cold, handsome face resembled that of a war god descended to earth.
Behind him, a mighty army surged forward like a steel torrent. The soldiers stood tall and proud, their faces covered in dust, yet unable to conceal their joy of victory. The bloodstains on their spear tips had not yet dried and gleamed dazzlingly in the sunlight.
The city's inhabitants had already poured out, their cheers rising and falling like waves.
Crowds surged along both sides of the road, and flowers fell like colorful clouds.
The children broke free from their parents' arms and ran to the front of the procession, staring wide-eyed at the heroes with curiosity; the girls shyly threw their sachets at the general, the sachets carrying a faint fragrance as they flew through the air.
