After Chuan Shu died, the four apprentices turned black

Chapter 28

It was the rain praying platform where it rained yesterday, and it was sunny and sunny. Surprisingly, there were many people standing around the rain praying platform.

"Lao Zhang, when will the person who brought rain from the imperial court come, you are not lying to us, are you?"

"That's right, it's broad daylight and there's not a single cloud, so how could it be raining?"

"It was a coincidence that it rained yesterday. Why did you call everyone here to see the rain... There is no ghost!"

"It's almost gone, I'm dying of heat!"

The crowd shouted, most of them went to the man in the middle wearing the broad bamboo hat. If Mr. Xu was here, he would have recognized him immediately. This man was one of those who watched their rain fall in the middle of the night last night.

Zhang Laosan wiped the hot sweat off his face:

"Why would I lie to you? There are a few of them to testify for me. I dare not create rumors about the court."

He pointed to the three people around him. They witnessed the first rain in Nangong together yesterday, and they also heard Master Xu's words with their own ears, and saw the token hanging on his waist.

They went back and told their friends and relatives about it. Everyone either expressed doubts or were curious and wanted to see it.

Rainwater is what every farmer in Yunze Country longs for. If this is true, then they are definitely the happiest group of people.

"Seeing that the Yunhe River is getting shallower and narrower, the court has to eat, the emperor has to eat, and everyone will starve to death without food. The people they sent this time are to prevent such things from happening. Let's rest assured and wait." ..."

"Cough cough," a deliberately aggravated cough came from outside the crowd, "Everyone is concerned about the rain, so please be careful with your words and deeds, and don't say things you shouldn't say."

Everyone heard the sound and looked at it. The leader was a round-faced man with an amiable temperament, with a black mole between his eyebrows, and beside him was a pair of young boys and girls who looked like angels. , the woman is so smart that people can't help but imagine her future allure with just one glance.

Behind the three of them were two tall and strong attendants in soft armor, with knives on their waists and sharp eyes, which made people dare not despise them.

No need to speak, just relying on this completely different temperament, everyone knew that the person they were waiting for today was coming.

When Zhang Laosan saw Mr. Xu, he immediately felt happy and relieved, he straightened his waist and walked through the crowd to meet him:

"My lord, my lord, you are here. Don't mind the crowd. The grass people explained the matter to them according to your instructions. They insisted on seeing the demeanor of the adults' rain with their own eyes. So many people came after spreading the word." ...If the adults feel bad, the grass people will let them leave now."

Both Nangong and Yueying looked at Master Xu with some doubts, not quite understanding what was going on.

"Lord Nangong, Your Highness, it's like this..."

Master Xu slowly explained what happened yesterday.

The adult holding the token actually still calls this little boy "Master", and is that girl a certain princess?Zhang Laosan listened to his address to the two in astonishment, and his heart became more nervous and anticipating.

Nangong Yuheng looked around and found that everyone was staring at him with curiosity, inquiry or awe. He had never been stared at by so many people at the same time, not even when he was kneeling on the street begging someone to buy him. Many people look at him.

At that time, what was more rewarding was a cold look, a look of ridicule or sympathy.

Of course most people ignore him.

These gazes made him feel delicate. It has only been three or four years since time flies, and it has become such a situation. In the past, the little beggars on the street and the refugees who were despised by others can also get the attention of so many people.

"Nangong, are you okay?" Yueying gently shook his arm and asked with concern.

"Master with me?"

"Of course, if you need to."

"That's no problem." Nangong nodded calmly like a little adult.

"Do you need to let them go away?" Yueying was afraid that he would be nervous.

But he shook his head, he didn't hate the feeling of being watched, because these people needed him, which gave him a sense of accomplishment.

The two walked towards the rain praying platform hand in hand, and Yue Ying was carrying the vermilion umbrella in her hand, and everyone in the passing crowd consciously moved out of the way.

Before starting, Yue Ying whispered:
"Don't hold on, stop immediately when you feel tired, if you faint like before..."

"Then I can only trouble Master to carry me back again." Nangong said seriously.

It was obvious at a glance that he was teasing her, Yueying's phoenix eyes widened, and she slapped him on the arm at a place where everyone was not paying attention:
"Are you so courageous that you don't listen to Master?"

"I won't faint again."

He put away his emotions, took a deep breath and calmed down, and the pouring rain came in an instant.

Everyone was overjoyed, and they didn't want to leave even if they got wet. They stared closely at the two thin figures under the swaying red umbrella in the wind and rain, as if they saw the future of Yunze Kingdom.

The rain seemed to be heavier than yesterday, but Nangong Yuheng obviously did not work as hard as yesterday. His speed of progress was astonishing. Master Xu watched everything from a distance, nodded in satisfaction, and secretly thought about the next itinerary.

……

"The memory recall is over, the plot is 10% complete, please continue to work hard on the host!"

Returning to reality again, there is still a violent storm around, but the rain will automatically bypass without using an umbrella.

Nangong's magnified face came closer to her eyes, her black and long eyelashes were as superior as his black hair, his warm breath lightly rushed to her face, and his misty eyes were very intoxicating.

"what are you doing!"

Yueying's heart skipped a beat, and when she realized it, she pushed him with red ears and yelled nervously.

Nangong didn't move at all, but she almost fell off the rain praying platform, but fortunately he grabbed her with his long hand and held her firmly.

Before she could say anything, he let go of his hand immediately, a little aggrieved and said:

"Your Highness is in a daze. I have called several times but there is no answer. Come up to see the situation."

Calling Your Highness again, Yueying was not used to it.

He had already stood on the platform for praying for rain, and he was very close. His tall figure completely enveloped her, which made her feel that he was different from when she was young, and standing with him was very oppressive.

"I remembered something again." She explained the reason for her daze.

"Really?" Nangong Yuheng's lacquered pupils lit up slightly, and he said in surprise, "What do you remember?"

The rain was over, and the rain gradually became weaker. Because of the sunken structure of the rain praying platform, a pool of water gathered around the high platform, and vortices formed around the small holes for drainage. The two were temporarily unable to leave before the drainage was over.

Of course, Nangong could manipulate the water at will, but he didn't want to do that. The feeling that the two of them were isolated in a certain area and had to be alone made him happy physically and mentally, as if they were forced to live in a barren garden and depended on each other.

"Remembering the first time you rained, and before I fell into the water..."

Yueying picked up some important things to say, and Nangong listened intently, countless pictures of memories came one after another, accompanied by complex and changeable emotions when she was young, flooding her mind.

"At that time, I was terrified." He said in a low voice, and he was a little scared. If there was no coincidence of God's gift at that time, the consequences would be disastrous.

No, maybe not by coincidence.

There was a voice guiding him to save Yueying. He was deeply impressed by that mysterious voice. At first he guessed it was the voice of a god, but why did the god ask him to save her?

Treat it as a secret, although he couldn't figure it out, he never told anyone, including Yueying.

"It's okay, the result is good, you saved me, and my brother." Yueying patted his shoulder with a relaxed tone.

Then he asked casually:
"Oh, by the way, what happened to them?"

"them?"

"Yes, it's Yue Qiyou, Yue Xiao, my brothers and sisters—" She stopped as she spoke, feeling that she wouldn't hear a good ending, princess and prince, how could it be any better?

What's more, he was the one who had sinned against Nangong Yuheng in the past.

Sure enough, his eyes were deep:

"Does Your Highness care about them?"

"I don't really care, I don't even remember their faces." Yue Ying said half-truthfully.

She really didn't care too much, because she didn't belong to this world, and because most of them had bad and arrogant personalities, which almost caused Nangong to cut off her relationship with her. She couldn't be bothered to hate them, nor could she like them.

"That's good, you don't want to know what happened to them afterwards."

He said calmly, and silently breathed a sigh of relief.

The collapse of the Yunze Kingdom was completely controlled by him. Although there was a general trend, he definitely added the most critical fire, because he hated this country and these high-ranking rulers. Squeezing everything out of him, ignoring human life, his father, his mother, himself, were all deeply used and exploited... He ended all of this, in his own way, and cleared away those who were in the way.

Originally, the person he valued the most in Yunze Kingdom was Yue Ying, but Yue Ying disappeared. In those years, he was almost blinded by hatred. Did a lot of unspeakable things.

He didn't want Yueying to know what happened during that time, he was worried that Yueying would hate him.

Let the wind and rain bury that period of time, and bury his dark side, leaving a clean and perfect him to present to the most cherished person.

"Okay." Yueying didn't know what was going on in his heart, but she just nodded, seeing that the water was almost drained, she jumped off the platform, "Let's go, it's time to go back."

She misses Princess Fuyu and the big dog named Heiyun in her heart, and she can visit them when she returns early.

Seeing Yueying who couldn't wait to leave her side, Nangong reluctantly followed.

On the way to leave, Yue Ying once again enjoyed the admiring gaze of everyone, which made her feel a little smug.

No wonder those people want to sit on the pinnacle of power in such a crowded way. This feeling of admiration and admiration is really fascinating. I don't know how the person next to him feels in his heart?

Yueying observed him curiously, and when she grew up, she turned into a cold-faced iceberg who didn't show his face, she couldn't read any emotions from his face at all, just like he never had emotions.

It's not as interesting as childhood, she sighed inwardly.

"What is Your Highness looking at?"

"Look at your expression." She said sincerely.

"What are you looking at my face for?"

"Guess what you're thinking, isn't it nice to be admired?"

"It's really good, but after a long time, I get used to it, and I haven't reached the point where I need to show any expression."

He paused, his cold face melted with a smile:
"Compared to this, the feeling that His Highness is by my side is more worthy of my expression. Can you see it? I am very happy, this is a happy expression."

He never talked much, but he couldn't help talking nonsense and doing childish things to Yueying.

Seeing Master Guoshi pointing at the corner of her mouth and trying to smile, Yue Ying was in a complicated mood.

"Okay, okay, I see, don't laugh so exaggeratedly, this doesn't fit your personality, and you're not handsome anymore."

Sure enough, he immediately withdrew his smile.

On the contrary, Yue Ying started to chuckle secretly, and quickly changed her face for him.

For some reason, now she is more able to accept his occasional "confession", perhaps because she is constantly traveling back and forth in memory, she is more able to empathize with his deep feelings.

After returning to the palace, she immediately changed into light clothes, explained to Nangong Yuheng, and hurriedly left the Yunmi Palace, holding the apology she had brought from Nangong in her arms.

I am his master, what is his is mine, there is nothing wrong with it, Yueying comforted herself.

Following the little eunuch who led the way, we walked through many corridors to Princess Fuyu's palace.

At Princess Fuyu's current age, she should be getting married in a short time, but as the emperor's only daughter, the choice of consort must be carefully considered, so there is no rush.

What's more, it is said that Nangong Qi dotes on her very much and is reluctant to marry her.

"Your Highness, do you need a servant to accompany you in?" The little eunuch asked nervously. He was caught by her halfway to ask for directions. It was the first time he came into contact with this legendary figure at close range. He was afraid that he would accidentally offend her. It is even more terrifying than directly offending the national teacher.

"Are you afraid of me?" Yueying glanced at his trembling appearance, a little depressed.

She doesn't eat people, and is even kinder than most people, why are you so afraid of her.

"I don't dare!" Hearing this, he quickly knelt down, his body trembling more obviously, "Your Highness, please forgive me..."

Yue Ying had a complicated look on her face, she waved her hand to tell him not to follow, the little eunuch, as if she had received an amnesty, hurriedly retreated, leaving in such a hurry that she almost tripped over herself.

"Couldn't it be that Nangong spoke ill of me..." She muttered, cheering up...but she couldn't be too energetic, otherwise she strode into the hall without appearing to be apologetic.

"Stop, who are you to trespass... Your Highness Mingchen! The servants deserve to die, Your Highness Fu'an."

When a court lady saw her, she thought it was a trespasser at first, and was about to scold her, but when she saw her face, she was frightened out of her wits, and knelt on the ground trembling to pay her respects, just like the little eunuch before.

Yueying got used to it, so she had to do business first:

"No problem, what about your Highness?"

"His Highness Mingchen is here to find His Highness Fuyu?"

"Yes."

"His Royal Highness Fuyu is not here, she has gone to the Tai Hospital."

"Is she sick?" Yue Ying asked in surprise.

"No..." The maid's voice weakened, "I'm going to take care of Heiyun, Heiyun is that black dog, His Highness should have seen it before."

She was overjoyed: "Hei Yun is not dead?"
