There was a rumbling sound, and a door behind the stone bed appeared. Ling Yuxuan turned around without hesitation and walked out of the stone room. He walked along the tunnel and could vaguely see the light in front of him. He couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. His heart also relaxed, but he realized that his entire body was in pain.
" I'm finally out of this damned place. I really miss the days when there's sunlight." Ling Yuxuan placed his hands on his hips and narrowed his eyes.
Coming to the entrance of the cave, he looked at the sunlight outside and smelled the stench on his body. He was almost suffocated by his own smell. The exit was hidden and covered by a large patch of green plants. Ling Yuxuan turned around to look at the place where he came out. There was no cave entrance at all. Not far away, there was a waterfall with rapid water flowing down from a high place. A silver curtain hung in the mountain, giving off the aura of a waterfall that flew down three thousand feet. A rainbow hung at the foot of the waterfall, on the lofty cloud peak. The clouds and fog dispersed, and the mountains were covered in verdant greenery. The trees on the mountains were lush and green. There was a pool at the foot of the waterfall. The water was blue and crystal clear. Ling Yuxuan looked at the water as if he had seen gold. He hurriedly jumped over and took off his clothes. He didn't care about his wounds and jumped into the pool. He swam a few times in the pool. After a long time, he finally showed his head. He looked at his face in the water. It was unfamiliar, but it was still handsome. He had a high nose bridge and bright eyes. It could only be described with the word 'handsome'.
"This wangye is really devilish. Look at his eyebrows and eyes, it really makes people envious.”As he spoke, he touched his face and then lay back in a relaxed manner, allowing the lake water to drown him.
He touched his flat chest with one hand. He was still not used to the loss of the two buns." Damn, this thing is so troublesome!"!”She hit the water surface in frustration, causing water to splash everywhere.
The cold pond water washed away the fatigue from the past few days and also washed away the previous dispiritedness. Feeling the recovery of the inner energy in his body, he kicked into the water and his body rose into the air. He grabbed the clothes he had brought out from the stone room and put them on. Although he was a man now, he still felt uncomfortable being naked. He tied his belt and stabbed the dagger into his waist. His hair was still wet, so he tied a headband casually. A few strands of hair hung down. His clean and fair face revealed a sharp and cold handsome. His deep black eyes had a mesmerizing luster. His thick eyebrows, tall nose, and beautiful lips were all noble and elegant. This, this was simply the Prince Charming in fairy tales! At first glance, he was a weak scholar, but at a closer look, he was evil and cold. His white clothes complemented his otherworldly temperament.
Along the quiet mountain path, he arrived at Leisure Cloud Town, where he had returned to the capital. The town was still the same. It had not changed because of what had happened that night. However, when he went to the place where the incident had happened, there was no trace of it.
" It seems like my men are quite serious. They didn't leave any clues behind," Ling Yuxuan said as he looked around.
Knowing that he wouldn't get any clues here, he left and arrived at the town's Full House. As the name suggested, the guests came like clouds. He chose a table by the window and sat down.
The waiter ran over with sharp eyes and asked," Dear customer, what would you like to eat? Although this restaurant is small, it's full of color, aroma, and taste."
Ling Yuxuan raised his eyebrows." A signature dish? I want to try your signature dish."
The waiter immediately introduced,"Our signature dishes are Master Liu's braised chicken and vinegar cabbage. These are our specialties!"”
" I'll have braised chicken first, then cabbage with vinegar sauce…" As she spoke, she looked downstairs. This picturesque scenery was exactly the house with a small bridge and flowing water! There was an ancient bridge with flowing water. The river was clear, and one could see the fish playing in the river. It was very happy.
The dishes were served very quickly. Looking at the delicacies in front of her, she drooled all over the ground. She had not had a good meal for many days. Previously, she had only eaten hastily. However, he did not forget that he could not eat too much greasy food after being hungry for a long time. He asked the waiter to bring him a bowl of porridge to eat. Halfway through the meal, there was a commotion coming from the neighboring room. She looked up and lowered her head to continue eating. She looked around and listened to everything.
After the meal, he saw that he did not have much medicine left. Moreover, he had to buy some medicine to treat such an injury. After bandaging himself for so many days, he still could not compare to a professional doctor. The first thing he needed to do was to recover before he could rush back to the capital. He made up his mind to stay in the Full House. After paying the deposit, he went out to look for a pharmacy and take a look at the scenery of Leisure Cloud Town.
After asking the passersby, they found a Tongji Pharmacy. There were many patients. The doctor took Ling Yuxuan's pulse and looked at his worried expression. He stroked his goatee and sighed,""Young Master's pulse is sometimes weak and sometimes strong. It must be caused by a serious internal injury, causing your Qi and blood to be unstable. In addition, it hasn't been properly treated for many days, so it's a little troublesome. I'll prescribe some medicine to soothe your Qi and blood first.”
"I don't want to go through so much trouble. I'll just grab some medicine that can stabilize my injuries. Do you have it here?”
" Yes, but it's very harmful to Young Master's body. I think it's better not to use it." As he spoke, he began to bandage the external injuries on his body.
"I just want this medicine. Then I'll have to trouble the doctor to prescribe it for me!”
The doctor sighed and went to get Ling Yuxuan some medicine. He took the medicine and walked out of the medicine hall. As he walked along the river, his thoughts drifted away.
On the other side, the Wind Shadow Guards had already found the cave and learned that the young prince was still alive. They immediately sent a letter to the Emperor to report that he was safe. The Emperor who received the news was relieved. Recently, there were more and more matters in the court, and the troublesome matters were getting more and more troublesome. Now that he knew that his brother was fine, he could concentrate on handling political affairs.
The Wind Shadow Dark Guard followed the tunnel to the stone room. He didn't see the young prince and couldn't get out. He could only return the way he came and go to the nearest Leisure Cloud Town to see if he could find the young prince.
Ling Yuxuan listened to the sound of the zither coming from afar and followed the sound to the small lake. It was neither too early nor too late, just as the sun was setting. The one playing the zither was a young girl. She was covered with a veil and had curved willow-like eyebrows. Her beautiful eyes were clear and bottomless. Her skin was as clear as jade, and her long black hair hung down her shoulders, glowing faintly as it fluttered in the wind. Her figure was tall and elegant, like a celestial being. The spiritual aura on her body was overwhelming. The fiery red sunlight shone on the body of the zither. The water sparkled like stars in the sky. What a beautiful woman in a painting. Although her true face could not be seen, one could feel that her current state of mind was calm and unruly. He did not disturb her. He sat down at the side and listened to her play quietly. He watched her hands dance agilely on the zither.
After the song, Ling Yuxuan raised his head and saw her sly eyes. He was slightly stunned and nodded. She stood up and put away the zither. Because she was in a hurry, her veil was caught by the zither and fell down. A stunning face was reflected in Ling Yuxuan's black pupils. He hurriedly picked up the veil and turned to leave.
Ling Yuxuan was left alone by the lake. He watched the sun set and felt the breeze blowing from the lake. The willow branches fluttered. He simply lay on the grass and looked at the sky. In his previous life, this kind of life was simply a luxury. Now, he could enjoy it properly.
Night came very quickly, but she still didn't want to move. She looked at the night sky, which was filled with stars. Why wasn't the night sky in her previous life so beautiful?
He got up and prepared to return to the inn. Along the way, the shouts of the common people were endless. The roadside food stalls were all over the ground. In his vague memory, there seemed to be a scene. Three little boys secretly ran out of the house and came to the market outside. They rarely went out, so they felt that the outside world was very fresh. They ran and jumped happily. At that time, there were many food stalls along the roadside. They smiled happily and played around at the food stalls.
"Actually, this prince is still very happy.”Ling Yuxuan said calmly.
Thinking of this, he was even more determined to live well with this body and feel the warmth of love. After returning to the inn, he took a shower and soon fell asleep. He slept until he woke up naturally, which surprised him a little. In the past, he would only feel sleepy very late and wake up very early in the morning. Today, he slept very soundly. After eating breakfast, he asked the waiter to make medicine. After drinking the medicine, he suddenly wanted to go to the small lake yesterday. For some reason, he felt that he might meet the girl who played the zither again. In the morning, there were still some dewdrops that had not evaporated. Under the warm sun, it was extremely comfortable. He strolled to the lakeside. The dew on the grass reflected the sunlight. He was bathed in the sunlight. He stretched out his hands and embraced the sun.
Someone walked over from behind and ignored him. It was not until that person walked closer and a faint fragrance entered his nose that he spoke.
"Young Master, why did you come to the lakeside alone in the morning? Could it be that you have something on your mind that disturbed Young Master's mood?”
He looked and saw that it was indeed the woman who played the zither yesterday. Out of curiosity, he asked,"Why is that girl here? Could it be that she has a knot in her heart?"”
The girl chuckled and said," Young Master is so boring. My name is Nichang. Yesterday, I was playing the zither here. When I saw you beside me, I seemed to be able to understand my zither music. I was wondering if you would come again today. I saw this beautiful scenery in the morning and came out for a walk. I didn't expect you to be here too. It seems that we are really fated."”
Listening to her chattering, he thought,"This little girl looks smart and quick-witted. Why didn't she see if the other party was good or bad before reporting her name?”
"I am Ling Yu, and I have the honor of knowing you."
"Then can I call you Big Brother Ling?”
"Sure."
Ling Yuxuan rarely talked to anyone when he arrived, and he had only met a few people. Nichang seemed to be the first person to take the initiative to talk to him, and he even had a good impression of her. For some reason, he did not reject this feeling. Her eyes made people feel at ease and relaxed, so he did not reject her. The two of them walked along the lake and talked. The morning sun stretched their shadows.
