Wen Yu was stunned for a moment, then patted the empty seat beside her and said, "Come over and warm yourself by the fire. I'll feel if your hands are cold."
Lu Ren remained unmoved.
Wen Yu sighed: "Guarding Beiyang Pass, right? I understand, you can go back now."
This casual tone made Lu Ren's back stiffen, and a hint of uneasiness and frustration leaked out from his cold eyes.
"Princess, do you have anything to say to me?"
Wen Yu smiled slightly and said, "What do you want to hear? Don't leave? Stay, and I promise that you will be alone from now on?"
Lu Ren pursed his lips instantly. It turned out that his little thoughts were exposed under the princess's eyes.
Wen Yu took Lu Ren's hand, gently hugged his waist, pressed her cheek against his chest, and listened to his suddenly violent heartbeat.
She tapped her fingertips and said, "Listen to your heart. It's beating so fast because I'm close to you."
As he spoke, he raised his head, his gentle and soft eyes lingered on Lu Ren's lips, with a hint of temptation: "Lu Ren, look at me."
Lu Ren's whole body tensed up, and he kept telling himself not to look, but his eyes still uncontrollably met Wen Yu's smiling eyes.
“…”
In silence, the two lips pressed together and gradually went deeper.
Wen Yu pulled gently, and Lu Ren fell obediently on the bed, sinking into Wen Yu's kiss.
The kiss was not passionate, but rather full of tenderness and gentleness, which made Lu Ren lose his mind.
He leaned over and pressed Wen Yu under him, their noses pressed tightly together and their breaths intertwined.
After Lu Ren pecked her gently again, he asked the question he had asked more than once: "Princess, can't you just have me?"
Wen Yu panted slightly, stretched out her hand to trace his eyebrows, and finally her fingertips stopped at the tip of his nose. She said in a calm voice: "Tomorrow I will tell my brother that you are allowed to guard Beiyang Pass."
Lu Ren's eyes flickered. This sentence had already given him the answer.
If he insists on being the only one, then he can go back to Beiyangguan.
Lu Ren's tone was a little hoarse: "Princess, why can't you just want me? What are the things about them that you like, but I don't? I can learn. If they can do it, I can do it too. Can't the princess just want me?"
Wen Yu sighed slightly and said, "Silly boy, bananas, apples and pears can never taste the same."
As soon as she finished speaking, a tear suddenly fell on her cheek.
Wen Yu was a little stunned.
There was a trace of moisture on Lu Ren's eyelashes. He closed his eyes, slowly stood up and left.
"I will go and ask His Majesty for permission myself. There is no need to trouble the princess to speak."
The door was opened, and a chill invaded the room. Lu Ren walked out quickly, his expression was calm, but it revealed a trace of extreme sadness.
Wen Yu gently wiped the tears on her cheeks with her fingertips.
Ning Xuanyan, who was guarding outside the courtyard gate, saw him coming out and immediately said, "Farewell, General Lu."
Liu Chun and Liu Dong looked at each other. What's going on? General Lu's expression doesn't look right...
When they returned to the room, they found Wen Yu staring at her fingertips, not knowing what she was looking at.
"Princess, General Lu's expression was very ugly when he left. What happened?"
Wen Yu took a sip of tea: "I'm in a bad mood."
"Throwing a tantrum?" I feel like this word has nothing to do with General Lu.
Wen Yu nodded: "Yes, he said he wanted to go back to guard Beiyang Pass."
"Oh, guard Beiyang Pass... What?! Go back to guard Beiyang Pass?!"
Liuchun and the other three were all very surprised, only Ning Xuanyan curled the corners of his lips imperceptibly.
When Lu Jin returned to the general's residence and saw Lu Ren's stern expression, he knew that his brother had been humiliated by the princess again.
He was just about to say a few words of comfort when he heard Lu Ren say, "Tomorrow I will ask the emperor for permission to guard Beiyang Pass. After I leave, don't cause any more trouble for me. Stay in the mansion."
Lu Jin was stunned: "But brother, didn't you just get transferred back? Haven't you had enough of the bitter cold of Beiyang Pass?"
"I have made up my mind."
"Are you really determined to go back?"
"Um."
"What about the eldest princess? You are not..."
Lu Jin was halfway through his words when he noticed Lu Ren's expression.
Although he didn't understand love yet, he suddenly understood why his brother decided to leave Shengjing City.
Lu Ren said hoarsely, "I can't accept that the princess has eyes for someone else. I always tell myself to be calm, but as soon as I see her, I get confused and my heart is completely out of my control. It fluctuates with her words and actions. As long as I stay in Shengjing City for one day, my emotions will always be controlled by her. Maybe not meeting again is the best choice."
"I should go back to Beiyangguan. That's where I should be. Let's just pretend we've never met..."
"elder brother……"
Lu Jin looked at Lu Ren's leaving back and recalled the day when he was drunk and searched all over the snow just to find the brocade bag that was so precious to him.
How similar are the determination in throwing away the brocade bag at that time and the determination in saying that he wants to return to Beiyang Pass now?
Brother, can you really do this?
Can you really leave Shengjing City and leave the Princess?
On the second day, Lu Ren went to the palace to ask to see the emperor.
After hearing the notice, the emperor, who was reviewing memorials, had a bad feeling in his heart for some reason.
"Xuan."
Upon hearing the order, the palace maid immediately led Lu Ren into the hall.
"Your humble servant Lu Ren pays respect to His Majesty!"
The emperor put down his pen and looked at Lu Ren, still feeling a sense of inexplicable guilt and shame in his heart.
"General Lu, why do you want to see me?"
Lu Ren lowered his eyes and was silent for a moment before he spoke: "I would like to ask the emperor for permission to leave the capital and guard Beiyang Pass."
The emperor was very surprised: "Return to Beiyangguan?"
"yes."
"Why?"
Lu Ren said: "I have been guarding Beiyang Pass before. I was called back to the capital because of the Xili incident. This time I am just returning to my original position."
"You have made great contributions in the battle of Xili, and I have not yet decided on a reward. How can I allow you to return to a cold and bitter place like Beiyang Pass? How will the civil and military officials view me?"
"I have failed to live up to your Majesty's wishes. I beg your Majesty to grant my approval."
The emperor stared at him for a long time. He knew the real reason that Lu Ren had buried in his heart.
"I agree, but if you change your mind, you can still stay in Shengjing City."
Lu Ren lowered his eyes and said, "I have made up my mind to leave."
The emperor sighed, "Royal sister, oh, Royal sister, you are really capable! What kind of magic potion did you give Lu Ren?"
