Chapter 106 Detection Chapter 106 Observation...
Chapter 106 Perception
“No one bullied me.” Seeing that Gongzi Mingyue looked like he was going to stand up for her, Ling Hao laughed. “Have you forgotten? No one can bully me.” She brandished the sword in her hand.
Gongzi Mingyue was a little embarrassed. "I forgot." He thought for a moment, then said seriously, "But I still want to help Ahao. Ahao, I will always stand by your side."
“Okay, I’ve got it,” Ling Hao replied with a smile.
She dispelled the slight disappointment in her heart, thinking that if she didn't see A-Yu for a while, she could just assume he had gone on a long trip. Besides, his body was right in front of her, which meant he was safe and sound, wasn't that good enough?
The poet ordered breakfast to be served, and turning around, she saw Linghao and Young Master Mingyue walking in hand in hand. "Young Master, Miss, the food is ready." After saying that, she stood aside.
It rained last night, so of course she knew they had to change the person.
"Ah Hao, come here quickly." Young Master Mingyue sat down and then beckoned to Ling Hao.
Ling Hao chuckled, "Just one or two steps away."
Gongzi Mingyue smiled but didn't speak, only showing a hint of confusion when Linghao sat down opposite him. "Ah Hao, why are you sitting across from me?"
His words surprised Ling Hao. "Mingyue, haven't I always been sitting opposite you?" Unless it was Young Master Mingyue who specifically sat next to her, she always sat opposite him.
Gongzi Mingyue was stunned and asked strangely, "Yes, why do I feel that you should sit next to me?" It's so strange, he always felt that Ahao should sit next to him, and he also felt that they should be closer to each other?
How strange! He and Ahao were already good friends, very close, weren't they? Why would he feel that they should be different? Gongzi Mingyue's eyes were full of doubt, and his fingers twitched slightly.
Ling Hao was startled by this. This was clearly a habitual little gesture of A Yu's, so why would Ming Yue...? A thought suddenly flooded her mind. Could it be that Ming Yue was about to merge with A Yu? If they merged, would Ming Yue disappear? Or would it be A Yu who disappeared?
Neither of them wanted to disappear. But Linghao wasn't a professional and only had a superficial understanding of these psychological issues. She didn't know if merging them would be better for his situation, or if maintaining the status quo would be better.
What should she do? Both Ayu and Mingyue are people she cares about, and she doesn't want them to disappear, but... Ling Hao is in a state of confusion and her mind is a mess.
"Ah Hao?" Young Master Mingyue looked at Ling Hao curiously, then followed her gaze to her own hands. "What's wrong with my hands?"
"No." Ling Hao snapped out of her reverie and forced a smile. "I just suddenly remembered something."
"What is it? Do you need my help?" Young Master Mingyue asked.
"No need," Ling Hao shook her head. "I can handle it."
"Alright then." Gongzi Mingyue was still a little disappointed. "Anyway, Ah Hao, just call me if you need anything, okay?"
Ling Hao nodded. "I've got it."
After the two had breakfast, Gongzi Mingyue subconsciously followed Linghao outside, but Shici blocked his way.
"What are you doing?" Gongzi Mingyue frowned as he looked at her.
"Young Master, you should go see the Crown Prince of Taiping." If she could, Shici wouldn't want to stop the Second Young Master at all. Compared to the Eldest Young Master, the Second Young Master is much more willful. She had just sensed that he seemed unhappy, and if she stopped him, she might easily get into trouble.
But sending the young master to see the heir of the Prince of Taiping was an order from the Emperor, and reminding the young master was her duty. If she hadn't reminded him, she might have been in trouble. Thinking of this, Shici felt truly miserable.
Other people's work is work, and hers is work too. But others only need to deal with one normal boss, while she has two bosses who take turns appearing. This feeling is just amazing, haha. Shici always feels like she's going to go crazy one day.
"I don't want to go," Young Master Mingyue refused outright.
"Your Majesty, please keep an eye on the Prince Taiping's heir," Shici said calmly. "If he makes any moves, we'll need your assistance, young master." What a terrible fate! When will she finally be able to retire and stop working? If she thinks about it, it might be decades from now.
Well, it feels even more sinful. Why do people have to work? Why can't people be like trees? That way, they wouldn't have to work to earn money and could still survive. Poetry is probably on the verge of madness.
“Then I won’t go either.” Gongzi Mingyue was not an obedient person; compared to Gongzi Yu, he was actually more willful.
Seeing this, Linghao stepped forward and said, "Can only Mingyue go alone? Otherwise, shall I come along?" She knew that the reason Mingyue didn't want to go was because of her. Since that was the case, she would just go with her.
Previously, A-Yu would go alone. He would usually go out after she finished practicing her swordsmanship and then come back quickly. That was usually when she was beating up Fang Yingkan or Di Feijing, and he would stay with her afterwards. However, now that Fang Yingkan has been imprisoned and the Six and a Half Hall has been dealt with, she no longer needs to clock in.
Since that's the case, it's the same if she comes to keep Mingyue company.
"Of course!" Before the poem could even be uttered, Gongzi Mingyue readily agreed. "I want to go with Ahao. I don't want to be alone."
For some reason, upon meeting Ling Hao again this time, Gongzi Mingyue felt an inexplicable unease. He felt as if he had missed something, lost something, but he didn't know what it was.
In just half a morning, Gongzi Mingyue felt very uncomfortable and uneasy; something felt off about everything. Only when he saw Ahao, only when he was by Ahao's side, could this strange feeling be suppressed. Therefore, he simply did not want to leave her side.
But he also knew that he had to listen to his sister and do what she said, otherwise he would definitely suffer the consequences. However, Gongzi Mingyue would rather suffer the consequences than not follow Linghao. But now that she was willing to go with him, that was even better.
He can be with Ah-hao, which doesn't mean he's disobeying his older sister. It's a win-win situation, isn't it?
"Thank you for your hard work, young lady." Shici had no other choice; she was merely a messenger and a scribe. She had no say in how the young master should act.
Ah, thankfully, Miss Linghao is an exceptionally good girl, completely different from the young master!
Ling Hao smiled helplessly. Why did she always feel that Shici's eyes were somewhat teary when she looked at her? It must be her imagination; she looked no different from usual.
Actually, Ling Hao's feeling is not wrong; poetry does indeed have a tearful connotation. Sigh, anyone would be moved to tears doing such mentally and physically exhausting work.
Gong Jiu was in the garden of the Prince of Taiping's mansion. He sat in the pavilion, staring blankly in one direction. There was a small flower bed there, which didn't seem special at all. If there was anything special about it, it was that all the flowers and plants in the small flower bed were dead, and now only some withered branches and fallen leaves remained, which looked very out of place with the garden full of flowers.
The flowers and plants in that small flower bed were planted by Princess Taiping herself. When she was tending to the flowers and plants, Prince Taiping would help by handing her various tools. At that time, little Gong Jiu would wander around, touching this and that, and couldn't stay still at all.
Usually, the Prince of Taiping would call out helplessly, but Xiao Gong Jiu wouldn't listen at all, while the Princess of Taiping would look at her son tenderly.
Whenever Gong Jiu looked at that small flower bed, those beautiful childhood memories would flood back. But his expression didn't improve much, because his memories were becoming increasingly hazy. He clearly remembered what Princess Taiping looked like, but in his memory, her appearance was blurry.
He clearly remembered what the Prince of Taiping looked like back then, but in his memory, the Prince of Taiping looked like he did now. Gong Jiu didn't want those beautiful memories to disappear, so he tried his best to remember everything.
But the harder he tried, the faster he forgot, and all his efforts were in vain.
Gong Jiu knew that his memory was malfunctioning. He clearly remembered everything; whatever he remembered, he wouldn't forget. But before Princess Taiping committed suicide, his memories became increasingly blurry.
His memory is faulty. Thinking of this, Gong Jiu was filled with rage. "Aren't you going to come out now?"
Gong Jiu was the only person in the entire garden, so naturally no one responded to what he said.
"I know you're here." Gong Jiu stood up. "You really listen to the Emperor, coming over every day. Aren't you tired of it?"
There was still no movement.
"Young Master Yu, come out here!" Gong Jiu's emotions were very unstable, and his eyes seemed to be bloodshot.
There was still no movement.
"Mingyue Nu, come out!" Gong Jiu said again.
Gongzi Mingyue stepped out from behind the pillar. "You have no idea where I am."
“But I knew you were here.” Gong Jiu smiled when she saw him. “I knew it. If Gongzi Yu didn’t come, then it must be you.”
Gongzi Mingyue said, "Alright, I'm out. And then?"
“Mingyue Nu, do you know? Actually, you don’t…” Gong Jiu’s body suddenly flew backward, dodging a sword that appeared out of nowhere. “It’s you.”
Ling Hao's shards of snow pointed at Gong Jiu, "If you dare to talk nonsense, I'll cut out your tongue." She had barely stepped out when Gong Jiu wanted to expose the connection between A Yu and Ming Yue. Although she didn't know how he knew, she absolutely wouldn't let him reveal it.
Mingyue had no idea that Ayu and he were the same person. If he found out, Linghao had no idea how things would develop. She only knew that she couldn't let Mingyue know yet, at least not from outsiders.
What if Mingyue is hurt and becomes mentally unstable? Linghao will not allow that to happen, absolutely not. "Heh." Gong Jiu sneered, "He's really lucky, always having someone protecting him."
