"Your Highness, Mr. Yun... has left the villa." Qiuyue came up and whispered.
"Yes." Ning Wanjun responded.
"She's leaving."
"I know."
"She is going back to Gyeonggi."
“…”
"After this goodbye, I don't know when we'll see each other again—"
Halfway through her words, Qiuyue's cheeks were pinched by Ning Wanjun, "At this time, can you shut your mouth and stay quietly aside?"
The maid nodded repeatedly.
Ning Wanjun retracted her hand angrily, "She is different from you - you can only follow me, but she is not. There is no risk in being an official of the Ministry of Works, and there is no need to get involved in what I want to do. If I become , then naturally everyone will be happy, and if I fail, she will not be affected in any way."
"But Your Highness, don't you want to keep her for a few more days?" The maid rubbed her cheek and said cautiously, "My maid feels that you are quite happy during this time."
"I am a princess now. It doesn't matter how long she stays, but what if I am no longer there one day? Do you think Mo Yun's experience will be found out?" Ning Wanjun sighed, "Besides, she I've only been here for less than a week, and I've already noticed the clues. If I stay longer, I think she can roughly guess my plan."
"So... you're scared?"
Ning Wanjun's eyes narrowed and murderous intent emerged.
Qiuyue immediately covered her mouth with her hands, bowed and saluted, "My maid, please leave."
After the maid left the palace, Ning Wanjun leaned back on the couch and bit her lips slightly. She knew deep down that she was indeed afraid of something.
What would she think if Mo Yun decided to leave after knowing this
Just thinking about it made Ning Wanjun feel bleak. That means that the other party made a choice between pros and cons, and this choice cannot be said to be wrong.
It's precisely because she did the right thing that makes it even more uncomfortable.
Even if they could meet again one day in the future, Ning Wanjun asked herself that it would be impossible to treat her as a friend again.
So she chose to avoid this possibility.
As long as she hasn't experienced it, she can pretend it never happened.
After all, I have chosen an extremely difficult path, and I am destined to be lonely in the future.
"Da da."
At this time there was a knock on the door outside the house.
"Go away."
Ning Wanjun said impatiently that she didn't want to see anyone now.
Unexpectedly, it was followed by a creak - the door was pushed open.
Ning Wanjun felt that the veins on her forehead suddenly arched. She actually ran in without her consent. Qiuyue was too courageous! Could it be that she has really relaxed her discipline recently and made her a little complacent
The princess clenched her fists and jumped up from the chair, intending to give her a taste of her ass blossoming.
"Qiuyue, get out of here—"
However, mid-sentence, she froze on the spot.
The person standing at the door turned out to be Mo Yun.
"You... aren't you leaving?"
"I went to Jinxia City Government Office, and I didn't say I was leaving Shenzhou." Mo Yun replied calmly.
"What are you doing at the government office?"
"After all, I was an official of the Sixth Ministry before. It is naturally more appropriate to send letters to them through government channels."
"Before?" Ning Wanjun keenly captured the other party's words.
"Yes." Mo Yun said calmly, "That was a resignation letter. The moment it was sent, I was no longer an official of the Sixth Ministry, and the affairs of the Ministry of Industry were naturally not under my control. How about it, now I Can you stay in Jinxia City for a little longer?"
"Why... are you doing this?" Ning Wanjun frowned. Of course, officials can resign, but they have to follow the rules. To send them off with a letter like her is undoubtedly an offending move. In the future, It was absolutely impossible for her to enter the officialdom again.
"Because we are friends." Mo Yun crossed his arms and said, "You must have encountered some trouble, so you left Shangyuan City without saying goodbye. Don't you want to implicate me? The problem is that at this time, If you don’t trust your friends, then who can you trust?”
Ning Wanjun smiled bitterly, "This is quite a trouble."
"No matter what it is, I will stand by your side." Mo Yun stared at her and said, "Because I know what kind of person the Third Princess is."
"..." Ning Wanjun didn't know what to say for a moment.
"You can tell me after you think about it. Anyway, I have nowhere to go." Mo Yun took a breath, "The Mo family regards me as a stranger, and Lord Shangshu will definitely be furious about this, so I can only stay here Your Highness, you are here. If Your Highness is not willing, I can also move to the dormitory area of the Privy Council Mansion. There are many empty rooms there anyway, so I don’t think Mr. Xia will refuse me."
"Okay." Ning Wanjun was laughed at by her. It was the first time that she saw the "cold and aloof Mr. Yun" in the eyes of outsiders using such sinister words to irritate her, "There is no turning back from this matter."
"That's better than looking up from the endless work one day and finding that you have disappeared without a trace." Mo Yun said openly.
Ning Wanjun walked to her side and closed the door with her own hands.
"I want to take revenge on the royal family." The princess said solemnly.
…
"You mean, your mother was killed by the imperial concubine?" After listening to Ning Wanjun's story, Mo Yun was surprised. She had known the princess for a long time, but this was the first time she heard about it. There are no relevant rumors in the palace, and external claims are that the third princess's biological mother, Concubine Qing, died of illness.
Today, the Holy Emperor has granted a total of five concubines. Among them, only Concubine Qing is not from a noble family. She had no background and no backing. She was an ordinary girl that the Holy Father had taken a fancy to before he ascended the throne. This matter became a good talk many years later.
"A few years after she gave birth to me, she became pregnant again. The sons born to Concubine Qi and Concubine Feixiang, who are now the Crown Prince and the Second Prince, still showed no signs of feeling Qi. On the contrary, I could already feel Qi, so they Together with two other concubines, he accused my mother of being unfaithful and having an affair with someone in the palace. The Holy Spirit believed this and ordered her to abort her pregnancy with medicine, which severely damaged her vitality. She eventually died in a short time. In the palace."
Ning Wanjun said expressionlessly, "I only found out about this later - my mother recorded all these things in a booklet, and it was finally handed over to me by Eunuch Li. I was just twelve years old that year. .The irony is that less than half a year after the death of his mother, the second prince awakened the ability to sense qi, but the prince still cannot sense qi to this day. I sometimes think, if I awaken a few years later, or I will never be able to sense qi in this life. With the power of Qi, could they be murdering Concubine Xiang instead of my mother?"
Mo Yun said solemnly, "This is not your fault!"
"Of course not," Ning Wanjun cast a reassuring look, "I'm not pedantic enough to regard parricide as my fault. If they commit such a crime, they will naturally have to pay for it - if we talk about the right of inheritance, The only thing they long for is the best revenge for them, to pull their lifelong hope off the throne."
