This night, Chu Liuyue did not sleep peacefully.
Vaguely, she seemed to have had a long dream.
In dreams, there are many scenes that constantly emerge.
However, in the end, they were all burned up and annihilated in a ball of flames.
When Rong Xiu arrived, he saw Chu Liuyue lying on the bed, her eyebrows furrowed, her body curled up into a ball, and she murmured something in a low voice.
The moonlight shone from the window, stretching his tall figure very long.
His face was half bright and half dark, and his eyes were as deep as the deep sea, but there seemed to be cold flames burning in them.
He stepped forward and took the person into his arms.
Chu Liuyue was like a traveler walking in the desert who finally found an oasis and subconsciously leaned closer to her.
Rong Xiu bowed his head and kissed her forehead gently.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Chu Liuyue grabbed the placket of his chest with both hands and closed her eyes tightly, but there was a teardrop in the corner of her eye.
Rong Xiu sucked away the tear.
Bitterness on tongue.
He stepped back a little and looked at the person in his arms. His voice was low and inaudible, floating in the night wind:
"What is supposed to come, will come."
Early the next morning, Chu Liuyue woke up and smelled a familiar cold fragrance on her body.
She immediately understood that it was Rong Xiu who had come.
In fact, even if there was no such smell, she could probably guess it.
She was restless and had nightmares in the first half of the night, but in the second half of the night, she quietly regained her composure and became at ease.
Only Rong Xiu can do this.
Unknowingly, she had already become accustomed to Rong Xiu's presence, and gradually became dependent on him.
A hint of sweetness overflows from the bottom of my heart.
Chu Liuyue took a deep breath, walked to the window, and looked at Yifengyuan.
Rong Xiu was not in the courtyard at this time. She could only see the peach trees with lush leaves.
The breeze blew and she woke up a lot.
Now that we have reached this point, there is only one way to move forward!
"Liu Yue?!"
Someone was calling her name downstairs.
Chu Liuyue simply tidied up and went downstairs to open the door.
The visitor turned out to be Teacher Bai Chen.
"Teacher Bai Chen? Why are you here?"
Bai Chen's expression was a bit complicated, with excitement and worry.
He handed over an invitation.
"This is the invitation for today's palace banquet. Your Majesty wants to cleanse the dust of the emperor. You previously won the first place in the mid-term assessment, and you also performed very well in the Youth Competition, so - you are also invited to go."
This is an excellent thing. After all, not everyone is qualified to meet the envoys of the Tianling Dynasty.
But yesterday, Lieutenant General Mu seemed to have some differences with Chu Liuyue, and he didn't know if he would take Chu Liuyue's contradiction to heart.
Chu Liuyue took the invitation:
"Thank you, Teacher Bai Chen. I will be there on time tonight."
"Liu Yue—"
Teacher Bai Chen spoke hesitantly.
"You, follow Mr. Sun when the time comes, and be careful about everything."
"Are you worried that Deputy Mu will target me?"
Chu Liuyue guessed Bai Chen's worries right away.
The corner of her mouth curled up.
"Don't worry. If a person of his status really wants to do something to me, he won't wait for the palace banquet."
Bai Chen thought about it, and that was true.
"What you said is not unreasonable. However, after all, it is better to be cautious."
Bai Chen explained a few more words before leaving.
After Chu Liuyue thanked her, she looked at the invitation in her hand.
She slowly curved her lips and smiled.
She has been waiting for this day for too long.
At noon, half an hour before the official start of the banquet, the left and right sides of the Jiao Yang Palace were already filled with people.
Only the top seats are still vacant.
The clothes and temples are covered with shadows, and the glasses are intertwined.
Everyone was chatting with each other, and the atmosphere seemed very harmonious.
But in fact, everyone's eyes are looking upward from time to time.
Today, they are all here for Lieutenant General Mu from the Tianling Dynasty!
"Mother, you must help me this time!"
Rong Zhen leaned close to the queen and kept begging.
"That Vice Admiral Mu is so powerful, he can definitely make me recover!"
She saw clearly in the square yesterday that Vice General Mu was stronger than anyone she had ever seen before!
The queen also felt a little more hopeful. She patted her hand and whispered comfortingly:
"Don't worry, Queen Mother will definitely find an opportunity to help you with your request. However, that Deputy General Mu looks cold and cold, and I don't know if he will help."
"Why not?! He will definitely do it!"
Rong Zhen's eyes were bright and his face was full of admiration.
"Mother, I think that although he looks cold, but..."
There were two blushes on her cheeks.
The Queen's heart skipped a beat.
Seeing Rong Zhen acting like this, he clearly fell in love with Mu Qinghe!
She is so crazy!
"Zhenzhen, you, what kind of person you are, we can't mess with you! You'd better give up this idea as soon as possible!"
The smile on Rong Zhen's face disappeared immediately:
"Mother, what do you mean by this? He - he is the most powerful person I have seen in these years! Even the emperor brother can't compare! Why can't -"
The queen quickly pulled her arm and quickly glanced around. She felt a little relieved when she found that no one was paying attention.
"What else can it mean!? You know it in your heart! The queen mother only tells you one thing. She only wants to help you recover this time. You must not think about anything else!"
That Mu Qinghe is a ruthless character at first glance. Not to mention that he doesn't like Rong Zhen, even if he does, he can easily manipulate Rong Zhen into applause!
Rong Zhen has been raised very willful for so many years. When he is around such a person, he will lose his life if he is not careful!
"Anyway, don't mention it again! If this path doesn't work, just follow Chu Liuyue's method."
The queen's expression became a little more severe.
Rong Zhen didn't dare to make any more trouble and kept his mouth flat.
"I know! But that Chu Liuyue is really charming! She actually dared to seduce in front of so many people yesterday—"
The queen gave her a warning look.
Rong Zhen shut up completely, but his hatred for Chu Liuyue deepened.
If she finds out that Chu Liuyue dares to do this at the banquet today, then she will never let Chu Liuyue look good!
After Chu Liuyue arrived with Mr. Sun and others, she sat down in her seat and waited quietly.
She could feel a lot of eyes on her, but she didn't care.
She slowly turned the wine glass in her hand.
until-
"Deputy General Mu from the Tianling Dynasty has arrived!"
She turned to look.
Mu Qinghe was walking in from the door. Emperor Jiawen was half a step behind and respectfully invited him to take a seat.
For a moment, the sound of a needle dropping could be heard in the hall.
After a moment, everyone saluted in unison.
Mu Qinghe's eyes swept over everyone.
He was almost uncontrollable, and his eyes stayed on Chu Liuyue again.
Emperor Jiawen thought he was still angry about what happened yesterday, so he said earnestly:
"Vice General Mu, didn't you come here to find some outstanding geniuses? Chu Liuyue is one of the best! You may also know that she is a rare third-level cultivator of martial arts master and heavenly doctor. genius!"
Mu Qinghe's eyes moved:
"Oh? What a coincidence, I have an old friend who is also a third cultivator."
I will only be able to update one chapter at nine o'clock tomorrow morning, but it won't be as late as today.
Will adjust back in the next few days!
