Three days?! Song Ruiyang's heart suddenly tightened.
Candles had been lit in the room as soon as the emperor and empress's carriage arrived outside the East Palace. The flickering yellow light in the room covered up the white moonlight that came in.
Song Ruiyang didn't know how to convince the two superiors to accept his "sheltering and connivance" of an "assassin."
The queen was also puzzled when she heard the emperor say this, but the emperor stopped her with a gesture. Both of them waited for Song Ruiyang to reply.
If Liu Yue can't be found and the misunderstanding can't be cleared up in three days, will she really be tracked down by the emperor? If everything goes well, how should she explain everything to the emperor and empress? After all, everyone knows what happened today.
Song Ruiyang's mind was churning rapidly, and all kinds of scenarios had already turned over countless circles in his mind in an instant. Three days is three days, and he must first calm the emperor down and ask him not to touch her for the time being.
After making up his mind, Song Ruiyang raised his head and looked at the emperor and empress with clear and peaceful eyes, "Thank you, father and mother. I will come to report in three days! It is my fault for making you worry today. Please go back to the palace and rest!"
The emperor and the empress gave earnest instructions for a long time before leaving the East Palace with mixed emotions.
Song Ruiyang stood in the yard and looked at the ice wheel that was already setting in the west. He raised his hand to his chest and felt the turmoil in his heart.
Just now, I could finally clearly remember and identify the girl in my dream. She was Liu Yue!
So smart and cunning, so full of vitality, isn't this exactly the Liu Yue I saw at the dock that day
And that pair of bright and thoughtful eyes were exactly the same as those of Liu Yun and Liu Yue. Song Ruiyang was sure that he would not make a mistake.
And he had actually humiliated Princess Jingmo at her birthday banquet. Thinking of this, Song Ruiyang wished he could go back to that night and beat himself up.
Xiao Luzi dragged his numb legs to Song Ruiyang and asked carefully, "Your Highness? The court session will start in another hour. Do you want to sleep for a while?"
Song Ruiyang came to his senses, dismissed the people who were still kneeling, left Xiao Luzi to serve him and returned to the bedroom. The light illuminated an area in front of the couch, and the moonlight had disappeared into the clouds.
Song Ruiyang rubbed his forehead and lay down, "I'm not going to sleep anymore. Just massage my head and I'll take a rest."
"Your Highness, we servants, we servants..." Xiao Luzi was massaging Song Ruiyang skillfully while wanting to apologize in a panic, completely ignoring the pain in his knees.
Song Ruiyang was helpless, he closed his eyes and waved his hands, "I have punished you, and the matter is over. I don't want to mention it again. You can rest tomorrow and don't have to serve me."
Xiao Luzi immediately kept quiet, and Song Ruiyang finally got some peace and quiet. However, he felt depressed when he thought about the difficulty of finding Liu Yue. Last time, Liu Yun had made it impossible for him to start. Now, if she wanted to hide, it would be even more impossible to find her.
As for whether Liu Yue had left safely, Song Ruiyang instinctively knew that there was no need to worry. After all, her martial arts skills were so good. Her skills in saving Miss Hu twice at the riverside and in the inn were simply amazing. She would definitely be able to escape safely.
In a flash, Song Ruiyang suddenly thought of another thing. Was it her who left the marks on his roof? He had checked it at that time, and the freshness of those marks indicated that they had not been there for long.
If that was her, she must have come to the palace because of the Cao Gang matter.
She had such skills but she didn't attack me secretly. Instead, she confronted me head-on with her not-so-profound martial arts. She was clearly the behavior of a heroine. Why would I believe Zhou Zhiyuan's slander and defame her like that
He had been avoiding her all along and had allowed Zhou Zhiyuan to do so many things that destroyed the Cao Gang. For the first time, Song Ruiyang felt like a fool.
With his thoughts in a tangled mess, Song Ruiyang fell into a light sleep under Xiao Luzi's hands. At that time, all his thoughts boiled down to one idea: Liu Yue, I must find you.
