Bai Yueguang, the stand-in for Prince Sick Jiao

In the late spring, the peach blossoms in the garden are dead, and the ground is soft, only the bamboo leaves in the corners of the walls are more and more green.

Fu Yunchuo was sitting on the porch holding the jug, half of his body was lazily leaning on the railing, his phoenix eyes were slightly closed, his black hair was loosely behind his back, his cheeks were slightly blush, looking delicate and soft.

Ever since she met Mu Liuchun that night, she has been getting drunk all day and all night. In the past, when Xie Yuanting was around, she would come to accompany her, but now that Xie Yuanting is gone, no one else in the Princess House dared to come.

Man Dong watched impatiently, but had no choice but to invite Ling Youyao over.

When Ling Youyao saw Fu Yunchuo who was so drunk, she sighed, and gently took the flagon from her hand, but she grabbed her hand.

"You're back."

Ling Youyao didn't know who she was talking about, she just said: "Your Highness, you are drunk, may I help you go back to rest?"

Fu Yunchuo opened his eyelids with difficulty, and when he saw Ling Youyao, he naturally let go of her, "Youyao? Why are you here?"

"Man Dong said you were drunk, I was worried about you, so I came over to have a look."

Ling Youyao reached out to help her, but Fu Yunchuo waved her hand away and said vaguely: "They have left one or two, why are you here? I am used to being alone, even if you are all gone , I can still do it alone.”

Before he could finish speaking, his body suddenly softened and he slid off the bench.

"Your Highness," Ling Youyao quickly supported her, "Are you okay?"

"It's okay, I'm probably a little drunk..." Fu Yunchuo sat on the ground and refused to get up, her black hair hanging down, covering her face.

Then, she said: "Seven years ago, my father passed away. In March of the same year, I received the news of Qingshan's death. It was also in the winter of that year that I met Xie Yuanting in Foguang Temple."

"At that time, I naively thought that Qingshan was not dead, so I recognized Xie Yuanting as him. In fact, I have always known that they are not the same person, and I also know that Qingshan will never come back in this life. But this palace After all, I still have a little thought, now that I heard the answer with my own ears, it makes my heart feel more at ease."

She told everything slowly, and those sad pasts were spoken out now, but she was extremely calm.

The lights were scattered that night, and the bustle was gone.After seven years, she finally got the answer——

Xue Qingshan is dead, how should he come back?
My heart is dead, even if I live, I can't go back to the past.

Fu Yunchuo held the hem of the skirt tightly with both hands, and the danko on his fingertips was as bright as a begonia in the garden. He let out a deep breath, as if he was trying to suppress something.

"Your Highness." Ling Youyao lightly stroked her shoulder, looking worried, but she didn't know how to comfort her.

Fu Yunchuo forced a smile: "I'm fine, it's just that this wine is a bit smoky, which makes people feel sad for no reason."

Ling Youyao heard about Mu Liuchun from Fu Mingjue, and knew that the eldest princess was feeling sorry for him, so she said, "Your Highness, we went to Foguang Temple together that day. There is a cause and effect. Now that it has passed, don't trap yourself in it."

"Everything in the world happens for a reason."

She murmured this sentence over and over again, until the hot tears fell on the ground at the end, she didn't say a word, only sobbed silently.

Seeing her like this, Ling Youyao just patted her on the back lightly, and said softly: "Your Highness, it's late spring now, and it will be Lixia in a few days. If you should forget it, forget it."

Fu Yunchuo's thin back trembled slightly from crying, and his ten fingers clutched the hem of the skirt tightly, as if he wanted to completely vent the sadness that had been suppressed in his heart for these years.

The thing she is obsessed with has been answered, the person she misses has left, and it seems that she should let it go.
After crying for a while, the drunkenness really came to the fore. Fortunately, Ling Youyao stayed with her all the time. Seeing that she was tired, she and Man Dong helped her into the house.

After watching Fu Yunchuo fall asleep, Ling Youyao got up and left.

Man Dong thanked her very much: "Thanks to the presence of the princess this time, otherwise I really don't know how to persuade Her Royal Highness with just a servant."

"Seeing the eldest princess like this, I am also very worried," Ling Youyao said, "Your Highness cried a lot today, thinking about it, she is much better. If there is anything else in the future, you can send someone to come to the palace to find me."

Man Dong thanked her and sent Ling Youyao away from the Princess Mansion.

When passing Fuyi Garden, Ling Youyao suddenly paused, she remembered that when she came back to the Princess Mansion, the sound of the piano came from here.

Seeing this, Man Dong explained: "This is Mr. Xie's yard. After he left, it was vacant, and the eldest princess never asked anyone to remove the things inside, maybe because he thought Mr. Xie would come back. "

"It's not a matter of flicking clothes, it's like his style." Ling Youyao smiled and didn't say any more.

It has been two months since Xie Yuanting left, although His Majesty has sent people to look for him, but he has not been found so far, and it is not known whether he is alive at this moment.

Now that Mu Liuchun is gone, Xie Yuanting is also injured and left, everything seems to be quietly leaving with the withered peach blossoms.

It was supposed to be the spring when all things recover, but there is a faint sadness everywhere.

As soon as Ling Youyao returned to the palace, she saw Sun Fuzhi coming out with Jiang Liu carrying a medicine box, so she asked Fu Mingjue when his eyes would recover.

Sun Fuzhi replied: "The medicine sent by the national teacher that day has a certain effect on removing the toxins in the prince's body. Combined with the medicinal bath prepared by the upper and lower officials, it should be cured soon."

Hearing this, Ling Youyao finally felt relieved, sent Sun Fuzhi away, and turned to look for Fu Mingjue.

In order for Fu Mingjue to get better as soon as possible, she specially asked someone to build a soup pool in Lanhui Courtyard. Although it is not comparable to the hot spring in the palace, it is much more spacious than a bathtub.

As for why Tangchi was built in Lanhui Courtyard?

Ling Youyao said: "Things like money should be kept by your side to be at ease."

At first, Emerald didn't understand what this meant, but it wasn't until she saw the pool inlaid with jade and pearls that she realized why she said that.

"Princess, wouldn't all the money you earn be spent here?" Lu Bao clicked her tongue.

"It's not flowers," Ling Youyao corrected, "but all my belongings are here."

Yinzhu and Lubao looked at each other, unable to understand what she meant.

Ling Youyao didn't explain, she pushed the door and walked in.

The inside is misty, and there is a faint smell of medicine floating in the air.Hearing her footsteps, Fu Mingjue still closed his eyes, and said with a half-smile: "You are getting more and more courageous now."

Ling Youyao stood far behind the screen, did not step forward, said: "Don't worry, I won't look at you, I just want to ask you something."

Hearing her words, Fu Mingjue had a casual smile on his lips: "Even if you read it, I don't know, after all, the person I can't see now is me."

"I'm not the kind of villain who would take advantage of others," she whispered.
