The carriage full of medicinal herbs moved slowly on the main road, and it was almost four hours before entering the imperial capital.

The streets of the imperial capital, which should have been bustling and noisy, became a little depressed and quiet due to the dark clouds in the sky.

Liu Ziqi, who had been silent all the way, looked up at the gloomy sky, and said as if talking to himself: "Shen Yu, if the years are long enough, is there anyone in your heart who can replace them?"

"You just have to put people in the right place in your heart, it's very important. Shen Yu blurted out.

Liu Ziqi's heart moved, and he glanced at Shen Yu with a complicated look and said, "Actually, sometimes I think that I owe you something or something." ”

"Hehe, don't, don't get me wrong, since it's all like this, then I'll tell you, who you like doesn't affect me in the slightest. Shen Yu stared at Liu Ziqi and said the words that had been hidden in his heart for a long time.

They never imagined that the confession they thought would be extremely embarrassing would be so natural at this time.

"But you're going to affect me!"

Shen Yu's face changed slightly after hearing this, and he was stunned for a moment.

"I mean me, I don't want you to go on like this. Shen Yu's reaction made Liu Ziqi a little annoyed

Unexpectedly, Shen Yu became relaxed and said with a smile: "Destiny is like this, you can't complain about me." For a while, Liu Ziqi couldn't deal with it.

While speaking, the two of them have come to a junction in the imperial city, where the intersection is the Rongguo Mansion on the left, and the Wuwang Mansion on the right.

"Okay, I'll go see the little junior sister first. ”

Shen Yu jumped down from the carriage, looked up at the gloomy sky and said, "It looks like it's going to rain, you can come back early." ”

"You know, wait for me. Liu Ziqi smiled lightly and drove slowly to the right.

Rongguo Mansion

Mu Xiaoyun sat by the window and stared blankly at the outside of the yard, sitting there in a daze almost all day since she woke up.

"Brother Huangfu, I want to hear you play the guqin, is it okay?" Huangfu Yu was about to leave after bringing the medicine into Mu Xiaoyun's room, but Mu Xiaoyun, who had been silent, stopped him.

Huang Fuyu put the medicine bowl in front of her and said softly: "Okay, drink the medicine, and I will play it to you." ”

"Hmm!" Mu Xiaoyun nodded obediently, picked up the medicine bowl and drank the medicine clean.

Seeing that Mu Xiaoyun finished drinking the medicine, Huang Fuyu smiled slightly, and asked someone to put his guqin in the courtyard, and sat under a maple tree in the courtyard and played the guqin.

It didn't take long for Mu Xiaoyun to fall into the low and tactful sound of the piano, Huang Fuyu's constantly plucking fingertips gradually fascinated Mu Xiaoyun, for a long time, she seemed to see herself dancing on the guqin, and a little jade bead around her sprinkled on the seven strings to strike crisp music.

Her eyes gradually dimmed, and on the guqin, it was clear that she was laughing in the Star Picking Courtyard in the past: in the empty martial arts arena, she was dancing under a big green tree in a long green dress, three or two spirit butterflies chased her flying clothes, and Shen Yu sat on the side holding a wine jug and laughing, sometimes raising her head to drink, sometimes cheering.

The scenes of the past appeared in front of her eyes, and slowly dissipated, and a breeze blew, making her involuntarily clench her arms.

Who reads that the autumn breeze is cool alone, Xiao Xiao's yellow leaves fall on the west window, and two lines of hot tears roll down Mu Xiaoyun's cheeks, this poem that her mother used to chant alone suddenly welled up in her heart.

"Little junior sister!"

Mu Xiaoyun suddenly turned her head to look outside the courtyard, and in the haze, she vaguely heard Shen Yu's voice calling out to her.

"Little junior sister!"

A familiar voice rang in her ears again.

It's really him! Mu Xiaoyun really listened to it, it was indeed Shen Yu's voice, it was Shen Yu who came to see her!

The sound of the piano in the courtyard stopped abruptly, and Mu Xiaoyun hurriedly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

At this time, she was happy, but she couldn't smile anyway, her heart was surprisingly calm after a moment of rolling, and finally, she managed to squeeze out a smile.

"Brother Huangfu, where is she little sister, how is she?"

Shen Yu had already come to the courtyard, and when he saw Huang Fuyu in the courtyard, he asked Mu Xiaoyun directly.

"Miss Xiaoyun is generally fine, in the room behind her. Huang Fuyu pressed his hands on the strings, and there was no wave on his face.

At this time, Mu Xiaoyun had already walked out of the room and came to the courtyard, and Shen Yu walked forward happily after seeing it: "Little junior sister, how is it, are you better?"

Mu Xiaoyun said lightly: "It's much better, thank you senior brother for your concern." ”

Shen Yu's smile froze on his face, he suddenly found that the little junior sister in front of him was a little strange, in the past, her innocent smile could make people feel like a spring breeze at any time, and her heart was indescribably happy, and at this time, Mu Xiaoyun's obvious smile surprised him, and a burst of sourness came to his heart, making him blame himself and lower his head.

"I'm fine, how is Senior Sister Ziqi?" Mu Xiaoyun's face was still calm.

"She's fine, I'll come to see you later. Little junior sister, since you are no longer in serious trouble, come back to the academy with me, where everyone can take care of you. ”

"No need, I want to stay here and rest for a while, the master has agreed, and I ask the senior brother to fulfill it. ”

Mu Xiaoyun said coldly, her voice was a little choked.

"In that case, you should stay here for now. ”

"Thank you, brother!"

With just a faint word of thanks, Mu Xiaoyun left the courtyard, and the moment she turned around, tears burst out of her eyes again, so that she had to speed up her pace and leave here, but did not enter the room, but went to the medicine field far away from here.

Shen Yu was stunned in his heart, and looked at Mu Xiaoyun's departing back and stood in place for a long time.

"I haven't seen her smile since she woke up and found out you had gone to the Star Picking Academy. Huang Fuyu came to his side and sighed softly.

Shen Yu was silent for a moment, and finally sighed and said, "Brother Huangfu, thank you for taking care of the little junior sister during this time, I hope she will like it here." ”

"Brother Shen, are you really like this? maybe as long as you accompany Xiao Yun well..."

"It's come to this, fate dictates, Brother Huangfu, the little sister is more suitable for a carefree life, I hope Brother Huangfu can help her get back the smile she once had. ”

"Brother Shen, you?" Huang Fuyu looked at Shen Yu in surprise.

Shen Yu smiled indifferently and said, "Brother Huangfu, you and I know each other, no one is more worthy of having Xiao Yun than you, and no one will cherish her more than you!"

Huangfu Yu was silent, he fell in love with Mu Xiaoyun from the first time he saw her, her face was always full of a smile like a spring breeze, and he couldn't help but want to spend his life protecting that petite body. And Mu Xiaoyun's past made him admire her strength and strengthened his determination to protect her.

Boom –

There was a muffled thunderclap from the cloudy sky, and sparse raindrops followed.

"It's raining. ”

"Brother Huangfu, take care!"

"Brother Shen, take care!"

Shen Yu arched his hand, and then turned around and walked towards the courtyard gate.

"Brother Shen Yu!"

Mu Xiaoyun's shout came from behind him, Shen Yu turned around slowly, only to see Mu Xiaoyun holding an umbrella in his hand, and rushed forward to stretch the umbrella in front of him after seeing him stop.

"Brother Shen Yu, it's raining. ”

Shen Yu took the umbrella in Mu Xiaoyun's hand, smiled slightly, and said, "Thank you, little junior sister, I will come to see you often, cherish!" and then left the courtyard.

Mu Xiaoyun looked at Shen Yu's departing back, and after a long time, she said slowly in a low voice: "Brother Shen Yu, take care!"

The right of the imperial city, the palace of the king of Wu

After separating from Shen Yu, Liu Ziqi drove the carriage to the Wuwang Mansion, she took out the edict of the Star Picking Academy and the forbidden army in front of the palace to explain her intentions and led the carriage into the courtyard of the palace.

The old housekeeper of the Wuwang Mansion took the edict and glanced at it, then bowed down and said, "Please wait here for a while, and I'll go and say goodbye." ”

"It's hard work!" Liu Ziqi smiled lightly.

As soon as the old housekeeper gave up his hand, he hurried through the front hall to the back hall, leaving Liu Ziqi waiting in the front yard.

Liu Ziqi looked at the huge Wuwang Mansion, as if she was looking for something, and the breeze blew the green silk on her forehead, making her feel extremely comfortable.
