Shangguan Ruoyu was out of her mind along the way. There were countless sorrows in her heart. She didn't know where to go or who to talk to. Unknowingly, he had arrived at the entrance of the restaurant.
The restaurant was bustling with activity. A few women in revealing clothes were greeting the guests at the door.
After thinking about it, he flew into the backyard of the Full Fragrance Brothel to look for Li Xi.
Before she entered, Shangguan Ruoyu heard the sound of a zither from the room. It was the song " Phoenix Seeking the Phoenix." Shangguan Ruoyu listened carefully. It was not the joy of meeting a king, but the sadness of seeing a king. He paused for a moment and walked in.
Wen Xin saw Shangguan Ruoyu and quickly went up to her.
"Miss Lin, why are you here?" Wen Xin couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. Miss Lin hadn't seen Miss for almost a month, but today she came to the Yingxiang Brothel in person.
"Is it convenient for your Young Miss to meet me?”Shangguan Ruoyu was also a little embarrassed at this time. She had come so rashly and did not know if it was convenient for her.
"I'll go tell the young miss. Wait a moment.”Wenxin bowed and walked into the house.
A moment later, the zither music had stopped and Li Xi had come out. She had light makeup on and her skin was as fair as snow, exuding a hint of charm. She truly lived up to her reputation as a beauty of the capital.
"Miss Lin, long time no see." The two of them sat down and Wenxin served tea. Li Xi then spoke with a tinge of bitterness in his tone.
"Yeah, I want to play the zither." Shangguan Ruoyu smiled bitterly.
Li Xi looked at her and didn't ask any more questions. He just asked Wen Xin to carry Rao Yue out and put her in front of Shangguan Ruoyu.
Shangguan Ruoyu looked at Rao Yue without speaking or playing the zither. After about fifteen minutes, she slowly started playing the zither. There was no tune. Shangguan Ruoyu just strummed the strings with one finger. The monotonous music was full of sadness. The surroundings were silent. The five people were talking. Slowly, even the noisy Yingxiang Restaurant could hear the sound of the zither. At first, one person stopped what he was doing. Then, more and more people stopped laughing and listened quietly to this sad song. In the end, the woman in the brothel slowly shed tears. Perhaps she thought of her own background, or perhaps she thought of someone's vow of eternal love in the past. However, things remained the same, but people had changed. A thousand sails had long passed.
The last note gradually disappeared, and everyone was still immersed in the sad tone. It was the brothel madame who came back to her senses first. She called out to everyone in return and greeted them again. The Full Fragrance Restaurant was bustling again.
On the other hand, Li Xi's room was still filled with sadness. Shangguan Ruoyu was already in tears. Li Xi seemed to have thought of something and his eyes turned red. Even Wen Xin wiped her tears quietly.
"Miss Lin, there's something on your mind." Li Xi had come back to his senses. He looked at Shangguan Ruoyu, whose hands were still on the zither, but his heart had run away.
"Miss Li Xi, have you ever loved anyone?" Shangguan Ruoyu didn't answer Li Xi but asked another question.
Li Xi's eyes flickered. She couldn't help but smile bitterly. How could she not have loved him? She had loved him for so many years and waited for him for so many years.
Shangguan Ruoyu didn't care about Li Xi's absent-mindedness and started talking. "I never knew that loving someone could be so sweet, but also so bitter. He didn't know how much courage I needed to love him, but the final result was like this. The heavens were really cruel.”
"Love is always like this. It is heaven and hell.”Li Xi said slowly.
After that, the two of them did not speak, perhaps they were both immersed in some kind of memory. About two hours later, Shangguan Ruoyu stood up.
"Miss Li Xi, thank you for your hospitality.”
"Miss Lin, you don't have to be so polite. In the future, if you have any problems, you can come and find Li Xi. Perhaps I can't help you, but I can still help you play the zither.”
Shangguan Ruoyu smiled and disappeared into the night.
Li Xi opened the window and looked at the night sky, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.
"Miss is thinking of the Tower Master again?" Wen Xin said as she draped clothes over Li Xi.
Li Xi's eyes lit up. He sighed and did not answer Wen Xin's question. After a while, Wenxin thought that she would not speak, but she heard," Tell me, do you have me in his heart?"”
Wenxin didn't know how to answer this question. The OP treated her very well and felt that she was in his heart. But which man would let his beloved stay in a brothel and kill for him?
"Wenxin doesn't know."
"Hehe, that's right. If you're not him, how would you know? Even I don't know myself.”
Then the room fell silent again, but the sadness of Shangguan Ruoyu's music still lingered in the air.
When Shangguan Ruoyu returned to Maple Feather Pavilion, it was already bright in the east. She was not in the mood to sleep, so she put down the Glazed Sword and picked up her usual sword to practice.
His white clothes were whiter than snow, and his moves were aggressive. The sword qi was faint, and the plum blossoms in the garden were scattered on the ground, either because of the wind or the sword qi. Shangguan Ruoyu jumped up and turned her wrist. The silver sword paused and then moved forward. It fell back to the ground and a dozen plum blossom petals were stacked on the tip of the silver sword.
The red plum blossoms danced in the wind, and the white dress stood in the middle. The harmonious scene was moving. Those who did not think that they saw it would think that it was a fairy descending to the mortal world.
"Little Yu." Yue Qingyuan's voice carried a hint of understanding.
Shangguan Ruoyu withdrew his sword and his thoughts. He turned around and looked at Yue Qingyuan.
"You can tell me if you have anything to say." Yue Qingyuan's eyes were filled with gentleness. In the past, whenever she was unhappy, she would practice her sword.
Shangguan Ruoyu shook her head." I want to finish this as soon as possible. The sooner, the better."”
"It's because of Zhang Xingyan." It was not a question, but a certainty.
Shangguan Ruoyu's body stiffened for a moment, but then she regained her composure. "He's Zhang Zhongshou's son and my enemy.”
Yue Qingyuan's eyes were filled with surprise. Then he looked at Shangguan Ruoyu." You..."
"Don't worry, I won't forget my mission. The next time I see him, we'll be enemies.”Shangguan Ruoyu's words were emotionless.
Yue Qingyuan sighed and looked at Shangguan Ruoyu, who was pretending to be strong. He understood her pain. It was just fate playing a trick on her.
"The sooner we defeat Zhang Zhongshou, the sooner we can return to Master's side.”With that, he turned around and left.
When Shangguan Ruoyu heard the word 'master', her heart softened and her eyes became firm again. Yes, she still had her master and mistress, Brother Qingyuan, Ah Nu, and Ling' er. She suppressed the pain in her heart. She still had a lot of things to do, didn't she?
Shangguan Ruoyu took a deep breath, put away her sword, and turned around.
