Not long ago, the General’s Mansion.
Lu Jin followed Lu Ren and said, "Brother, I'll take you to the city gate."
"No need." Lu Ren shook his head, "Just send it to your doorstep."
Lu Jin sighed, a little reluctant: "Brother, are you really leaving?"
"Yeah." Lu Ren took the reins from Lu Jin's hand and responded lightly.
"Does the princess know you are leaving?"
Lu Ren paused: "I don't think I know."
"Then I'll go and inform the Princess's Mansion."
"No need!" Lu Ren shouted hurriedly, realizing that his reaction was a bit too much.
His tone paused for a moment, then became very light again, and he murmured, "No need, it's best if the princess doesn't come, I can leave without any worries."
Lu Ren said as he jumped on his horse and galloped away.
He tried hard to get rid of the confusion in his mind, but he didn't expect that as soon as he arrived at the city gate, he saw a very familiar carriage in the distance.
With just one glance, although the person in the carriage did not show up, he knew who was inside at a glance.
It's a princess.
Princess...is she here to see him off?
Lu Ren pulled the reins and subconsciously slowed down.
Lin Yuzhi was the first to hear the sound of horse hooves. He stood beside the carriage and turned his head to look over. Lu Ren was riding slowly towards them.
Lin Yuzhi handled the matter impartially and said in a clear voice: "General Lu, I, the Prime Minister, am here to see you off on behalf of the Emperor."
Lu Ren nodded slightly: "Thank you for your hard work, Prime Minister Lin."
After he finished speaking, he looked towards the carriage and was silent for a moment. He then got off the horse and saluted through the curtain, saying, "Your humble servant Lu Ren greets the Princess."
Unlike how she quickly responded to Lin Yuzhi's salute just now, Wen Yu did not react for a long time after Lu Ren finished speaking.
Lu Ren clenched his fist and said again: "Your humble servant Lu Ren greets the princess."
At this moment, the car curtain moved slightly, Wen Yu lifted a small corner, and her eyes fell lightly on Lu Ren's cheek.
Lu Ren was still dressed lightly today. In the cold wind, his black clothes outlined his tall and straight figure.
Wen Yu sighed: "Didn't I tell you to wear more clothes? Aren't you cold?"
At this moment, on the high building, Lance was holding the bow and frowning. From this angle, he could only see the jade-white hand holding up the car window curtain, and a small part of the extremely delicate chin.
The best opportunity to make a move is to wait until Lu Ren leaves.
When Lu Ren heard Wen Yu's caring words, he pursed his lips.
He was about to say that he was not cold, but Lin Yuzhi beside him smiled and explained for Lu Ren: "Princess, General Lu has a strong inner strength, so this temperature is nothing to him."
Lu Ren paused, nodded and said, "Prime Minister Lin is right."
But Wen Yu said, "I don't believe it. Let me feel your hand to see if it's cold."
Lu Ren moved his fingertips, and facing Wen Yu's concerned gaze, he wanted to pretend nothing had happened and say "no", but his hand went up uncontrollably.
Upon seeing this, Wen Yu grabbed his hand directly, and their palms were pressed together. After a burst of warmth, Wen Yu inserted her fingers between his fingers and held them tightly.
She curled her lips: "Well, it's not cold."
Lu Ren: ...
Lin Yuzhi: ...
Lance on the tall building: What are you talking about?
What that woman said was actually true. Lu Ren and the eldest princess of Dasheng really had that kind of relationship!
At this time, Lu Ren's hand was completely frozen. He tried to pull it away, but it didn't move. Wen Yu's palm was like a lock that tightly locked him.
"Are you really leaving?"
"...Didn't the princess ask me to leave?"
Wen Yu smiled and said, "Are you happy to see me coming to see you off?"
Lu Ren lowered his eyes and stared at their clasped hands. He couldn't tell whether they were happy or not. He whispered, "I didn't expect the princess to come and see me off."
Wen Yu curled her lips, touched his face with her other hand, and sighed: "After all, we are in love, how can I let you leave alone?"
Lu Ren: ...
Love?
These two words made Lu Ren's heart tighten instantly, and a feeling of confusion surged into his mind.
His ears began to turn red uncontrollably, and soon they looked like blood.
With his fingertips trembling, Lu Ren stared at Wen Yu closely but could not utter a word. All his emotions were stuck in his throat and evolved into cheers and joy in every pore of his body.
Lu Ren's eyes even felt a little hot.
He waited day and night for the princess to come and coax him, but the princess didn't.
He once wanted madly to monopolize the princess, but soon realized from the princess's attitude that it was impossible, so he tried madly to convince himself again.
Every rooftop late at night can reveal his inner conflicts and struggles.
But every time he tentatively proposed to be the princess's only one, the princess looked at him with such indifference, as if he was an insignificant existence that could be replaced by someone else at any time.
It made him extremely insecure.
Even the love she expressed seemed like a casual perfunctory response to him. The princess would even flirt with other men in front of him.
So he always brought it up again and again, just wanting to know what he meant to her.
But today, the princess actually said that they were in love...
In love... He loves the princess, but does the princess really love him?
Or was it just to trick him?
"Princess, do you really love me?" Lu Ren's eyes were hopeful and trembling, "Don't lie to me."
He said, his fingers slowly tightening.
"I'm not lying to you." Wen Yu smiled sincerely, then curled her eyes and slowly said, "I love you."
"Not to tease me."
"No, I really mean it, but..."
"No buts." Lu Ren's voice trembled a little, his fingers tightened, then suddenly loosened, and then slowly pulled away.
He turned around, grabbed the reins, and climbed onto the horse.
Wen Yu raised her eyebrows.
Lu Ren's eyes were inexplicably evasive and shy. He pursed his lips and said, "I will go back with the princess."
Wen Yu chuckled and looked at him with her chin raised.
Liu Chun was shocked. This, this is how it was done?
That's it? That's it?
A self-torture tactic? Why is a self-torture tactic needed?
The princess gave General Lu a little sweet talk and he surrendered.
Wen Yu saw Liu Chun's incredulous expression and tapped her forehead: "Do you understand the destructive power of sincerity?"
