Bai Yueguang, the stand-in for Prince Sick Jiao

Chapter 126

The sky in the capital seems to have cooled down all of a sudden, and the palace, which was once lush with greenery, is now tinged with a bit of withering air.

When Fu Mingjue came back, he suddenly saw a person standing under the long corridor.

Ling Youyao was wrapped in a cloak, and the blood on her face had not yet fully recovered. When she saw Fu Mingjue coming back, her eyes suddenly sank, and she strode towards him without waiting for the other party to speak.

Fu Mingjue, who was longing for Ling Youyao to wake up, felt a little bit of retreat when he actually saw her at this moment.

But Ling Youyao would not give him a chance to escape, she grabbed his hand with a trembling voice: "My lord, I had a nightmare."

It was a long nightmare, so long that she almost never got out of it.

In the dream, she saw her sister collapsed in front of her countless times, looking directly at her with desperate and painful eyes, all the way into her heart.

Fu Mingjue looked at her with complicated eyes, and even through the material of the clothes, he could feel Ling Youyao's hands were freezing cold.

He held her hand and said, "It's just a nightmare. People who are frightened will have nightmares."

Ling Youyao didn't move, it was like a big stone was pressing on her heart, it was so heavy that she could hardly breathe.So, she now urgently needs an accurate answer to remove this stone.

"You know how my sister died, right?"

The straightforwardness of her question caught Fu Mingjue by surprise.

I don't know when, the relationship between the two has changed unconsciously.

Fu Mingjue slightly avoided her gaze, and said: "That year the rebels made a rebellion, fled outside the city, wantonly killed the surrounding people, and fled to collect money."

Before finishing the rest of the sentence, Ling Youyao knew what happened next.

She remembered that Ling Qingwei was obviously killed by the robbers, but Fu Mingjue said that it was because of the rebellion.

Did she remember it wrong?
Ling Youyao's mind was a little confused. In her dream, she clearly saw a person standing behind Ling Qingwei before she fell down.The man's figure was blurred, Ling Youyao couldn't see his face clearly, but was frightened speechless by the cold sword in his hand.

No matter how hard she tried, she still couldn't see his face clearly.

Fu Mingjue raised his hand to smooth her frowning brows, and said, "Don't think about it anymore, it's windy outside, let's go in first."

Ling Youyao looked at him, hesitated to speak.

Even if you ask some things, you may not get an answer.

She looked at Fu Mingjue's cold side face in a daze, and inexplicably came to her mind, that day on the top of Futai Mountain, after Mingyue fell, he hugged her in a panic and comforted her over and over again .

There was also a trace of fear mixed in the panicked eyes, but what was he afraid of?
Ling Youyao doesn't know.

Fu Mingjue noticed her strange gaze and understood it, then changed the subject calmly: "Are you hungry? Would you like something to eat?"

She wasn't hungry at first, but after hearing what he said, Ling Youyao really felt a little hungry, "I'm a little hungry."

Lu Bao heard about it and quickly brought some food.

After drinking a bowl of porridge, Sun Fuzhi came in with a medicine box, prescribed Ling Youyao a prescription to nourish Qi and refresh her mind, and repeatedly told her not to worry too much, but to relax.

Ling Youyao agreed one by one.

Since Qiushou came back, Sun Fuzhi has been staying in the palace. Now that Ling Youyao is awake, he should go back.

Before leaving, Fu Mingjue called him to the study alone.

Sun Fuzhi knew that he must have something important to do, so he hurried to the study after he came out of Lanhui Courtyard.

Fu Mingjue handed him the letter under the inkstone, and said, "This is the news that just came in, take a look."

Sun Fuzhi took it and browsed it carefully. The more he looked at the back, the more dignified his expression became.

After a while, he suddenly shouted: "Impossible! Ah Jing must still be alive!"

Fu Mingjue guessed that he would not believe it, so he said: "She did leave the capital alive back then, but when she fled to Huaizhou, she suddenly lost contact. According to what you said, I sent someone to investigate and found out that she The inn where we stayed at the beginning caught fire, and no one survived."

"Impossible." Sun Fuzhi held the letter tightly, paranoid that Ah Jing was still alive, "How could she die?"

"Back then, she was just a baby in her infancy, she couldn't even speak, how could she have the ability to protect herself?"

This is a bit cruel, but it is true.

But Sun Fuzhi still didn't believe it, and Ah Jing died just like that, "My mother handed Ah Jing to a maid who was close to her, as long as she finds that maid, she will know."

Before he finished speaking, Fu Mingjue interrupted him: "That maidservant died in that fire a long time ago. Although her body was charred, the bracelet on her hand is enough to prove her identity."

Hearing this, Sun Fuzhi fell into despair.

For so many years, he has endured countless hardships. Even if he was trapped in a barren mountain and fought with wild wolves, he never thought of giving up, just because—Ah Jing was still waiting for him to find her.

But he had firmly believed in the belief for many years, but was suddenly shattered by Fu Mingjue at this moment, as if all his strength had been drained from his whole body, and he became decadent in an instant.

After being silent for a while, he finally recovered his voice: "My lord, I believe Ah Jing is not dead, can you send someone to look for it near Huaizhou?"

Fu Mingjue took a deep look at him and didn't refuse, so he agreed.

"What this king promised you will naturally be done. It's just that so many years have passed, and the baby back then has already grown up. It is unlikely that you will find her."

Sun Fuzhi's eyes fluctuated, and suddenly he remembered something, picked up a pen and began to draw on the paper.

Not long after, a jade pendant appeared on the paper. Although some parts were uncertain, the lines on the jade pendant were roughly clear.

"This is the token that the man handed over to my mother back then. I originally had one, but after my mother had an accident, I smashed it."

Sun Fuzhi's indifferent tone was tinged with sarcasm, and he continued: "When Ah Jing was born, my mother left the remaining jade pendant to Ah Jing. What I used to hate so much, I didn't expect it to become a treasure hunt for Ah Jing now." the only clue."

Fu Mingjue stared at the jade pendant on the paper, feeling familiar, but couldn't remember where he saw it.

"The king knows, you go back first."

"Yes, the subordinate retire."

Sun Fuzhi left Prince Jing's Mansion with his mind on his mind. The moment he stepped out of the gate of the mansion, he only felt the light falling from above his head was a bit dazzling.

It was getting late, and lights were gradually lit up everywhere in the capital. Fu Mingjue originally arranged for someone to take him back, but Sun Fuzhi wanted to leave by himself, so he rejected Fu Mingjue's offer.

When going out this time, Sun Fuzhi only brought a boy with a medicine box on his back, and the two of them walked back along the long street one after the other.

Seeing the dim lights everywhere, he was suddenly a little confused.

Dayan is a vast country, and there are 10,000+ people in the capital alone. Looking for someone is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

He twitched the corners of his mouth expressionlessly, and before he could recover, a panicked female voice suddenly came from above his head: "Get out of here!"
