Las cosas malas suceden a menudo

Capítulo 123

Yu Wuxia forced a smile, but suddenly she didn't want to continue. She casually replied, "Anyway, this book is probably about the female protagonist's attitude towards love!"

Situ Xingyun raised an eyebrow and asked, "What part of this book does Wuxia like the most?"

Wuxia tilted her head slightly, the golden hairpin on her head swaying. Recalling the beautiful meaning in the book, Wuxia smiled sweetly, "What I like most is the red bean bracelet described in the book. Red beans grow in the south, how many branches will sprout in spring? I wish you would pick more, for this is the most cherished token of love. A string of red beans represents deep longing and intense love."

Situ Xingyun trembled as memories flooded back like a flowing river.

"Your Highness, have you heard the poem? Red beans grow in the south, how many branches will sprout in spring? I wish you would gather more, for this is the most cherished token of love."

"Red beans represent longing, but no jewelry store sells jewelry made of red beans, simply because red beans are too inconspicuous, neither gorgeous nor elegant."

For the first time in public, his dark, jade-like eyes surged with a torrent of emotions—shock, surprise, excitement—and Situ Xingyun's eyes instantly lit up with joy.

He grasped Yu Wuxia's hand, trembling. "Wu...Wuxia, how does Qingyun look?"

Wuxia bit her lower lip, hesitating whether to speak or not, when she saw the almost desperate yet frantic joy and deep longing in Situ Xingyun's eyes. Her heart ached, and she softly replied, "Sister Qingyun is a very, very beautiful woman. Even in the entire world, nothing can compare to her."

Situ Xingyun was even more delighted. He carefully took out a painting folded into a square from his clothes, gently unfolded it, pointed to the woman in the painting, and asked, "Doesn't she look exactly like her?"

Without even glancing at it, she was immediately shocked and jumped up from her chair. She snatched the painting and began to examine it closely.

The woman in the painting is dressed in gorgeous clothes, but her hair is completely unadorned, hanging straight down. Her face looks exactly like Sister Qingyun, as if they were carved from the same mold. The words "Xue'er" are written in the lower left corner of the painting.

Seeing Yu Wuxia's shocked expression, Situ Xingyun immediately confirmed his guess, and joy spread wildly across his face.

Yu Wuxia was startled. Suddenly, she remembered the portrait of Princess Fengxue that she had found in her cousin Wuhen's cabinet years ago, and the doting affection her cousin Wuhen had shown her after Qingyun married into the family…

She gave a bitter smile, realizing everything.

Seeing Situ Xingyun's delighted expression, Wuxia said quietly, "Cousin and sister-in-law have a very good relationship."

These words were like a bucket of cold water poured on Situ Xingyun. His face turned cold, he glanced at Yu Wuxia, and then turned and left.

Tears fell slowly.

So many things have surprised her lately, so many that she's become numb. She thinks that even if someone told her the sky was about to fall, she wouldn't be surprised. After all, she's already numb.

No matter how you look at it, who could have predicted that Emperor Fengxi's heart would fall for Sister Qingyun?

Plum Garden.

Situ Xingyun strolled through the plum garden, and for the first time, a happy smile appeared on his lips.

He stroked the withered plum tree and said gently, "Xue'er, I've finally found you."

The gentle whispers sounded like words between lovers.

At this moment, a black figure suddenly appeared, knelt down and said, "Anmei greets Your Majesty."

"Get up!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Anmei stood up and reported, "Your Majesty, yesterday I finally found out about the matter of Empress Wenshu's disfigurement that Your Majesty asked me to investigate two years ago. It is..." Anmei lowered her voice and slowly began to recount.

Situ Xingyun's pupils suddenly contracted, and suddenly, his dark eyes flashed with a terrifying light, and a strange curve appeared on his lips.

"Anmei wrote to the Palace Master of Li Palace, saying that I have something I want to exchange with him. I'm sure he'll be very happy to do so." After a pause, Situ Xingyun continued, "There's no need to investigate the Empress's affairs any further."

After a moment's hesitation, Dark Enchantress replied, "Yes."

After Anmei left, Situ Xingyun's hand once again touched the tree trunk. "Xue'er, you will always be mine. Hehe... No one dares to take you from me!"

Situ Xingyun said this. His face showed a determined expression.

The sun was shining brightly, and the air was still hot, but all of this seemed to be brewing a surging wave, making people tremble with fear.

Volume Two: Fate Leads to a Separated Palace, But a Good Marriage is Born; Li Jing and Li Jing 3

Departure from the palace.

Jun Wuhen received an anonymous letter.

The letter contained only a few words, but it was enough to terrify Jun Wuhen.

"Pear Mirror, separated from the mirror, disfigured, tonight at 7 PM, at the mouth of the Wujiang River."

Without much thought, Jun Wuhen arrived at the mouth of the Wujiang River at the hour of Xu (7-9 PM).

The moonlight was alluring.

A soft silver light spilled across the shimmering river surface, reflecting the twinkling stars. From above, the water seemed to hold a picture of starlight accompanying the moon.

Tonight is a peaceful night.

Suddenly, a magnificent boat began to glide slowly across the river. A young man in a blue robe stood at the bow, holding a jade fan; his face was as handsome as jade. A night breeze stirred, causing his hair to flutter, making him appear exceptionally elegant and refined.

Situ Xingyun stood at the bow of the boat, facing the night wind, a constant smile on his face, as if something pleasant was about to happen. He gently shook his jade fan, his eyes shining brighter than starlight.

Suddenly, a completely black figure appeared in front of him, silently.

Situ Xingyun's eyes flashed, and he immediately waved his fan and laughed, "Your Excellency is so fast."
