Chapter 13 The Lotus Pond

Murong Qingxue watched the song and dance, and her thoughts returned to her previous life. At that time, she was also good at singing and dancing, under the peach blossom tree, dancing low in the heart of the willow building, and singing the peach blossom fan. She thought she could be happy forever, but she finally died in Yuhu Palace. What a great irony, she glanced at Dongfang Haonan. He didn't squint, just drank glass after glass. Seeing Dongfang Haonan, the ruthlessness of the Yuhu Palace appeared in her mind, and her head hurt a little.

Retracted her gaze and saw Dongfang Yunrui, her heart beat violently, but she couldn't take her gaze back. Although Yun Rui's eyes had that indescribable feeling, there was a kind of exploration that Murong Qingxue was clear.

She hung her head and drank a glass of water, but coughed violently. Liu Shi hurriedly helped her gently stroke her back, and seeing her distracted expression, he asked with concern, "Qingxue, do you have something on your mind?" Murong Qingxue shook his head again and again. "Why are you drinking without a heart?" Wine, it turned out to be wine, no wonder it coughs.

"May I ask if it's the third young lady?" A guard suddenly appeared beside him, and Murong Qingxue recognized him, it was Yun Rui's close guard, Ling Ran. Murong Qingxue remembered that in his previous life, he had been by Dongfang Yunrui's side, protecting him and her. It's just that Ling Ran's gaze now has a kind of indifference.

"Ling Ran. Murong Qingxue naturally called out his name, and Ling Ran was stunned: "Third Miss, do you know me?"

The Liu family also looked at Murong Qingxue in surprise, Murong Qingxue realized the gaffe, and quickly changed the topic: "No, Princess Yirong said it when she came in." "When did Yirong say that this is just Murong Qingxue's nonsense. Ling Ran's face returned to normal, Murong Qingxue secretly said that it was dangerous, it seemed that he should always pay attention in the future.

"I wonder what happened to Gongzi?" asked Murong Qingxue. "On the orders of my master, I invite the young lady to the lotus pond for a while. Murong Qingxue's face was stunned, and the Liu family and Murong Qingyi were also surprised. Murong Qingyi's eyes were full of jealousy, and she couldn't think of why Ling Ran would let her go.

Murong Qingxue pondered for a while and said to the Liu family: "Mother, I'll come when I go." Ling Ran also saluted the Liu clan and led the way in front. Murong Qingxue could feel the light from Murong Qingyi's eyes, but she didn't mind.

There is no rain cover for the lotus, and the lotus pond in March is very bleak. There was a man in white standing by the pool, standing with his head down. Murong Qingxue approached and looked at him quietly. Dongfang Yunrui turned around and looked at the person in front of him. Murong Qingxue leaned over and asked, "I've seen Lord Rui." Dongfang Yunrui raised his hand to signal to flatten his body, and Murong Qingxue got up and lowered his head.

"Raise your head, why don't you look at this king, are you afraid of this king?" Dongfang Yunrui said lightly.

Murong Qingxue raised her head, with a lonely and cold face, but she couldn't help but be peerless. What did not match the temperament was that there was a layer of mist in Murong Qingxue's eyes. She can face Dongfang Haonan coldly, but she can't face Dongfang Yunrui calmly.

"I called the girl to come late at night, but there was something unclear, and I asked the girl to make it clear. Seeing that Murong Qingxue didn't speak, Dongfang Yunrui got straight to the point.

"Lord Wang, please speak. Murong Qingxue couldn't look at Yun Rui after all, so she still lowered her head. Dongfang Yunrui was not reluctant, and asked the lotus pond, "Girl, why did you appear in Houling?"

Murong Qingxue thought that he would ask, but how would she explain it? After all, she didn't know why she was there, did she have to tell him that she was reborn?

"What's the matter, can't you sue the king?" Dongfang Yunrui frowned, he didn't expect that someone would dare to refuse him, and a cold aura condensed in his eyes. Murong Qingxue raised her head and said sincerely: "Lord Rui, it's not that the courtiers don't say it, it's just that I don't know why I'm there." On that day, I was ordered by my eldest mother to go to the temple to burn incense and thank the gods, but then I fainted and woke up in the back tomb. You know, I can't find the exit of Houling at all, I'm telling the truth. You, do you believe me?" Murong Qingxue said the facts, and at the same time made up some content, otherwise this level is estimated to be impossible. However, she didn't deceive Yun Rui, she really didn't know how to get there.

Dongfang Yunrui stared at Murong Qingxue, wanting to distinguish the authenticity of his words, and at the end, he nodded: "Okay, this king believes you." In just five words, a stone was cast in Murong Qingxue's calm heart lake, and ripples rippled in his heart. He still believed in her, and he used him so excessively in his previous life, and he also had no complaints. Yun Rui, why do you believe me? Murong Qingxue's heart was a little confused. In order to hide her expression, she also walked to the side of the lotus pond and looked at the remnants of the pond calmly.

Murong Qingxue felt that Dongfang Yunrui's eyes were always on her body, as if she wanted to explore something, but she could only pretend not to know. She really couldn't stand this atmosphere, and Murong Qingxue was afraid that the longer she stayed here, the more she couldn't control it. He saluted Dongfang Yunrui: "Lord Rui, if there is nothing to do, the courtiers will retire first." ”

After saying that, he was about to leave, but Dongfang Yunrui didn't stay, nodded, turned around and strode away. Murong Qingxue was uneasy in her heart, and because she was by the lotus pond, she was in a panic, tripped over a stone, and actually fell down the lotus pond.

Murong Qingxue felt extremely embarrassed, but this was not a matter of shame, because she didn't know how to water. The lotus pond was not deep, but it was enough to surpass her. She struggled as hard as she could in the water, but she couldn't do it and choked on several mouthfuls of water. Murong Qingxue felt more and more depressed, and the qiē in front of her became more and more blurred, and she instinctively shouted: "Yun Rui, save me, Yun Rui ......" She was very scared in her heart, she was afraid that she would die like this, she only had Yun Rui in her heart to rely on, and she only remembered to call his name when she was dying.

Ling Ran saw Dongfang Yunrui coming, but he didn't see Murong Qingxue, so he felt strange in his heart, so he asked, "Your Highness, why hasn't Miss Murong come back?" Dongfang Yunrui's face changed slightly, and he said, "She came back one step ahead of me, so it's time to arrive." Ling Ran looked at Dongfang Yunrui: "Could it be that something happened to her?" Dongfang Yunrui also felt bad, and hurriedly rushed to the lotus pond with Ling Ran. He couldn't tell why he had always been indifferent to anything, and how could he panic when he thought that something might happen to that woman?

By the time the two of them felt the lotus pond, Murong Qingxue was already about to sink. Ling Ran was about to go into the water to save him, but was stopped by Dongfang Yunrui. Ling Ran didn't believe it, could it be that His Highness was really so indifferent, but since he brought Murong Qingxue here, he had the responsibility to save him. Ling Ran was just about to jump into the water, but was forced back by the cold in Dongfang Yunrui's eyes. "Lord Wang, if you don't save her, she will die. Ling Ran was a little anxious.

"The king knows. Dongfang Yunrui didn't look at him, but jumped into the water alone, swam to Murong Qingxue's side, and fished her out, seeing that Ling Ran was dumbfounded. At this time, Murong Qingxue's face was pale, and she was muttering something. Dongfang Yunrui leaned down, but what he heard was intermittent: "Yunrui, save me." “

His face froze for a moment, and he couldn't tell what he was feeling. Why did this woman call him Yun Rui, and he didn't have any impression of her. Also, in Houling, when I saw her for the first time. Hearing his voice and seeing him appear in front of her, the woman was not afraid, but cried and asked him, "Yun Rui, is it you", as if she was reborn after the catastrophe and saw her dependence. Dongfang Yunrui was puzzled. In fact, it was incomprehensible why there was only Dongfang Yunrui, and even Ling Ran was confused. In my impression, Lord Rui has never done this to any woman, let alone going into the water to save her. Even when he treats Princess Yirong, his nominal sister, he is indifferent.

"Ling Ran, you go back to the palace first, prepare a set of clean clothes and send them to the Yuhu Palace. Dongfang Yunrui said lightly. Ling Ran was ordered to go back immediately.

Dongfang Yunrui patted Murong Qingxue's back and wrote it down, and saw that she spit out several mouthfuls of water, and her face was a little bloody, so he was relieved. Murong Qingxue opened her eyes and looked at the person in front of her, she had a thousand words in her heart but couldn't say them, so she could only lower her head. Suddenly feeling that he was in Dongfang Yunrui's arms, he hurriedly moved to the side a little.

"It was this king who saved you, don't you thank you?" Dongfang Yunrui looked at Murong Qingxue, who was a little embarrassed, and asked with a smile. This smile, although a little teasing, is very warm.

Murong Qingxue bowed her head and said, "The courtiers are grateful to the prince for saving his life. After saying this, I couldn't help but sneeze.

The weather in early spring was warm and cold, not to mention that it was soaked in water for so long. Thinking back to his previous life, that is, on this warm and cold spring day, he was killed, and Murong Qingxue's eyes had a kind of sorrow that could not be dissolved.

Dongfang Yunrui frowned, he couldn't understand this woman, she should be at the same age, why did she always have a worry that she couldn't understand? Seeing Murong Qingxue shrink, Dongfang Yunrui took off his coat and draped it on her. Murong Qingxue felt a trace of warmth on his body, and looked at Dongfang Yunrui gratefully.

Dongfang Yunrui said to her: "You just fell into the water, and the weather is still cold, I'll take you to change your clothes." ”

Murong Qingxue nodded, struggled to get up, but sprained her foot again, and couldn't help but let out an "ah" in pain. She looked at Dongfang Yunrui with a little apology, she didn't mean it, but she made mistakes again and again. His brow furrowed again, and without thinking he reached out and picked her up. The movements were gentle and powerful, and Murong Qingxue was cuddled in his arms, so warm and steady. But after all, one is unmarried, the other is unmarried, after all, it is inconvenient, so Murong Qingxue tries not to get so close, but she can't help but shudder when she relies on the cold wind and blows like this. Dongfang Yunrui frowned slightly, and hugged her tighter. It was so natural that Dongfang Yunrui himself was surprised.
