Luo Yuan: Chapter 73
After Jiang Qi left, Luo Yuan immediately changed into a night suit and sneaked out of the house.
He went to the Immortal Pavilion.
After he silently entered the room on the second floor of the Immortal Pavilion with a strange lock, he found that her things were still there. Ruo Ning's strange things were messily placed on the desk, and there was a huge backpack next to the bed. The mouth of the backpack was open, as if the owner had just gone out temporarily.
Luo Yuan was puzzled. Didn't she leave?
Suddenly, there was a small sound of footsteps at the door, and in a moment someone opened the lock and prepared to enter the house. He quickly dodged and hid behind the door.
The door opened, and the person who came in was Susu.
Su Su stood still in the room, silent for a moment, and then asked in a low voice, "Lord Luo?" β
He came out of the darkness.
Su Su breathed a sigh of relief, as if she had been waiting for his arrival.
"Lord Luo," her voice was anxious.
"Where is she?" He asked, as he walked over to his desk, examined the condensed contents on the table.
"Are you asking where my sister is? Something happened to you, I've been asking for news about you and your sister, I want to ask if my sister is okay, but I can't get in touch, I also want to ask how your sister is," Unexpectedly, Su Su said so.
"When was the last time you saw her?"
"She went out to deliver the goods that day and never came back, I thought it was because Lord Luo was implicated in the recent incident, and my sister couldn't come to see me. It turns out that adults don't know where my sister is? Su Su was even more worried.
His eyes were suddenly drawn to a piece of colored paper on the table. He pulled out a piece of hard paper a few inches square pressed under the book, it was something called a photograph that could capture everything in the world, Ruo Ning had shown him.
Luo Yuan gasped when he saw the two people in the photo clearly through the moonlight. Dusty memories poured out of the deepest part of my mind in an instant, and the couple in the photo seemed so real and yet unreal.
In the photo, the young queen mother is wearing a yellow dress and smiling shyly, and the man opposite her who looks down at her with infinite love is actually a national teacher! At a glance, he recognized the black shirt worn by the national teacher in the photoβthat was the clothes that Ruo Ning often wore!
It turns out that the national teacher is the person Ruo Ning is looking for?!
Luo Yuan suddenly realized something, and he quickly put the photo into his arms, "Ruo Ning's things, you put them away and hide them first, and when others ask, they will say that she went to the land of debasement with me." After he confessed to Su Su, he jumped out of the window and disappeared into the night.
************
As soon as Luo Yuan entered the back garden, he saw Uncle Zhong standing in the courtyard. Uncle Zhong's body was stiff, and he looked at a flower bush in the garden with his back to him, and he didn't notice anyone coming in at all.
He suddenly felt strange and called softly, "Uncle Zhong." β
Thinking of this call, Uncle Zhong was so frightened that he fell to the ground all of a sudden.
Seeing Uncle Zhong's reaction like this, Luo Yuan glanced at the flower bush that Uncle Zhong was staring at just now, and suddenly had doubts in his heart. What is it about that flower bush that makes Uncle Zhong so frightened?
Seeing that it was Luo Yuan, Uncle Zhong hurriedly got up from the ground, his voice trembled, and said, "My lord, I want to invite a Taoist priest to come to the mansion tomorrow, please allow my lord!" β
Method? He suddenly remembered that Uncle Zhong said earlier that he wanted to invite a Taoist priest, why did he suddenly ask a Taoist priest to do it at this time? Is there a ghost haunting the house? He felt that something was wrong, so he asked in a deep voice, "Where did the ghost come from?" β
Uncle Zhong pointed to the flower bush and said, "Just ...... From there came the voice of a ghost......"
"Male or female?"
"It's a male voice......"
He realized that the "ghost sound" that Uncle Zhong said might be something like Ruoning, so he immediately said, "Uncle Zhong, you go back and rest late at night, I will guard this courtyard." β
ββ¦β¦ Yes, my lord," Uncle Zhong wanted to speak and stopped, but since the adult was resolute, he had no choice but to withdraw from the courtyard, and before leaving, he told the adult to be careful.
After Uncle Zhong left, Luo Yuan found a black "box" in the flowers.
Not knowing how to use it, he twisted the button at random, and then a strange hissing sound came from the "box".
"Yang Ruoning, are you there?" A voice was heard immediately.
"Aono?" He muttered.
Unexpectedly, Qingye over there actually replied, "Luo Yuan? This startled him, and Aono could actually hear him! However, Ruo Ning had too many strange and strange magical things, and it was not unusual to have something like 'Thousand Miles', so he quickly regained his composure.
"Yes, I am," he replied.
"What about Yang Ruoning?"
"I thought she was with you."
"Is she really gone?" Aono muttered, "She should have said goodbye to me, how could she leave without saying goodbye to me......" Aono suddenly shouted, "She won't leave without saying goodbye to me!" β
The hidden facts revealed in that photograph have turned everything upside down. The person Ruo Ning is really looking for is the Queen Mother, and if the relationship between Aoye and Ruo Ning is really as he guessed, then his obsession with returning to the throne of Jinluan is the reason why she has never been able to get close to her, and finally chose to leave?
He had to know the truth, and he had to hear Aono tell the truth!
Luo Yuan's momentary silence made the people on the walkie-talkie even more anxious, and Qingye shouted hysterically, "Luo Yuan, Yang Ruoning has nothing to do with this matter!" Isn't this the throne you want? I'll give it to you! Don't hurt Yang Ruoning! She kept telling me to get out of here with her, it's me! It was I who insisted on staying, and she didn't do anything! She didn't do anything to be sorry for you! β
Luo Yuan pretended to sneer and said sharply, "She and you are really a pair of hard-working mandarin ducks, they are so desperate to exonerate each other, such a touching scene makes me want to fulfill you!" β
"Bitter mandarin ducks?" Qing Ye was stunned for a moment, Luo Yuan's statement surprised him, "She really didn't tell you, did she?" Aono seemed to be muttering to himself.
Luo Yuan's left eyebrow raised, and he took the opportunity to ask, "Tell me what?" β
"The person she loves is you, and it has always been you," Aono's voice gradually increased, and finally he yelled, "She married you!" β
"What is she going to tell me?" Luo Yuan ignored Aono's anger, and he continued to ask unrelentingly.
On the other end, Qingye was silent, half ringing, and his sigh came from the other end of the walkie-talkie, "You also love her, don't you?" β
"That's a matter between me and Ruoning, what does it have to do with you?"
"I need to know, I must know, when I tell you this truth, am I facing Yang Ruoning's husband Jun Luoyuan, or the little prince who is bent on restoration?"
"What's the difference?"
"Because of this truth, I can only tell Luo Yuan, who is wholeheartedly devoted to her, can do anything for her, and is willing to give up everything for her."
Luo Yuan took a deep breath and said, "Ruo Ning is gone, no one knows where she went." β
"She's not going to leave without saying goodbye to anyone!" Aono became even more agitated, "She must have met with danger!" β
"So I need to know that truth!" Luo Yuan shouted.
"Okay, I'll tell you, but you have to promise me first, you'll never hurt her!"
"I love her to the point of madness! For her, I am willing to give up everything! β
The other side of the walkie-talkie was silent for a few seconds, and then Aono's voice sounded, "Okay, Luo Yuan, I will believe your words." Qingye paused, "The truth is that Yang Ruoning is my aunt, my biological father, and the national teacher who disappeared, Yang Ruoning's younger brother - Yang Ruoxuan!" β
Luo Yuan staggered back a step, this was the truth that Ruo Ning had been unable to tell him! How was she going to tell him? It was he who told her over and over again that her family was the murderer who murdered his mother and concubine, caused him to lose his throne and live among the people! How could she tell him?!
Luo Yuan lowered his head and smiled bitterly, and then he said to Qing Ye, "Qing Ye, before I find Ruo Ning, you will stay honest with me there, don't act rashly, and wait for me to come back!" β
"Luo Yuan, please be sure to find her!"
*********
Where is Ruoning now? Luo Yuan felt fear that he had never felt before. The woman had told him what true courage was, and she told him that courage was knowing that the future was thorny and thorny, and that it was necessary to go on without hesitation. But now, fear almost took his breath away. What if you freeze...... No! He slammed his fist on the stone table, Ruoning would definitely be fine with her, he didn't allow her to be fine!
Thinking of this, Luo Yuan raised his sword again, preparing to venture out to meet Wang Zhongze again. He turned out of the courtyard, but saw Uncle Zhong still standing outside the courtyard anxiously waiting.
As soon as Uncle Zhong saw Luo Yuan, he pounced and knelt directly on the ground, "My lord, please spare the small side, Miss Yang's ghost ......" Before he finished speaking, a cold light flashed, and Luo Yuan's long sword was already on his neck.
"Why are you sure that Ruoning is dead?" There was a faint chill in the voice.
"My lord, the old slave is just acting on orders......"
Luo Yuan's sword had already left a bloody mark on Uncle Zhong's neck. "On orders? On whose orders? Your master is me! β
"My lord," Uncle Zhong held a resolute heart to die, "A month ago, a secret letter from Youzhou asked me to secretly dispose of Miss Yang. I was going to tell you first, but that day I overheard your conversation with Miss Yang, and Miss Yang asked you to elope with her, and from then on let go of the hills and valleys; I was worried that you would be deceived by her and give up your position, so I sold Miss Yang to a slave trader in the capital without telling you......"
"You're so bold," Luo Yuan's sword seemed to be embedded in Uncle Zhong's flesh. Uncle Zhong was originally the father-in-law of the concubine's palace and had been loyal to him for many years. Although he was angry because of Uncle Zhong's deception, after all, he remembered the old feelings, and now he was still needed in the guard's mansion, so in the end, although Luo Yuan was angry, reason still prevailed. He drew his sword back into its sheath.
Luo Yuan glanced at Uncle Zhong who was kneeling on the ground, and said coldly, "I'll spare you once, but I won't make an example!" Remember, your master is me! It's not the one from Youzhou City! With that, he turned and was about to leave.
Uncle Zhong was unrelenting, "My lord, don't miss the great cause of the country because of a woman, my lord-"
"Uncle Zhong, do you know that if there was no Ruoning, there would be no me today; If there is no condensation, what is the significance of this great cause to me! The prince you know died in that valley with his mother when he was seven years old. β
