Fu Ruihai nodded and left. Zhao Luyan stood there and watched him leave, feeling extremely melancholic. It would be great if the two of them could enter the palace together. He wondered how Lu Yueqin was doing. Lu Yueqin hadn't been home for a few days. Only Lu Wangyuan was there. It wasn't appropriate for her to go and see him. She wanted her father to go, but he wasn't willing. Zhao Luyan had no choice.
Originally, Fu Ruihai was the one who did this, but now that he had left, he was the only one left. It seemed that he could only do it himself. Zhao Luyan was particularly depressed. She did not even know where Fu Ruihai had been for the past few days. She had asked him for a long time to no avail, and he had even changed the topic to Yi Yunfei. Could it be that he had really investigated Yi Yunfei?
However, Yi Yun had already left the capital and had yet to return. How was Fu Ruihai going to investigate? It was like this every time. Fu Ruihai deliberately hid it, but he was helpless. She recalled what Fu Ruihai had said earlier. Why did he suddenly mention Shen Xiyin? Did he know something? Impossible, she had never told him. Could it be Ouyang Yuan?
Perhaps this was the only possibility. Zhao Luyan felt that she needed to meet Ouyang Yuan to clarify the matter. Otherwise, she would be nervous if she was on tenterhooks. Ouyang Yuan was a forbidden guard. It was not easy to meet him. Moreover, he could not tell his father. This was even more difficult. He needed to plan it carefully.
Back in her room, Zhao Luyan was still thinking about this question. After thinking for a long time, there was no result. When she was helpless, she saw Xi Mei running in hurriedly with a letter in her hand and handing it to Zhao Luyan."Miss, someone came over just now and asked the gatekeeper to give you this letter.”
Zhao Luyan took it and quickly opened it."It's an emergency. I look forward to meeting my old friend, Ouyang Yuan.”Upon seeing this name, Zhao Luyan was shocked. She had just thought of Zhao Cao, and he had come by himself. She did not know if it was a good thing or a bad thing. He turned around to look at Xi Mei and asked," Who sent it over? Was it Ouyang Yuan himself?”
"It's not Lord Ouyang, it's just a little errand boy. He came right after Lord Zhao left.”Xi Mei replied," That person hasn't left yet. He asked Miss to leave a meeting place.”
As expected of Ouyang Yuan. He was so thoughtful that Zhao Shengming wouldn't find out. After thinking for a while, Zhao Luyan took out a pen and paper, wrote it down, and handed it to Xi Mei. She said,"Give it to that person. There's no need to say anything else.”
After Xi Mei left, Zhao Luyan leaned back in her chair. She couldn't figure out why Ouyang Yuan wanted to meet with her. Could it be about Shen Xiyin and Huangfu Ye? Thinking of Fu Ruihai's attitude just now, Zhao Luyan felt that this was definitely the case. That's not right. According to Ouyang Yuan's martial arts, Huangfu Ye and Shen Xiyin were no match for him. How could he not succeed? Could it be that he did not find it, or did he show mercy? Thinking about it, it was not impossible. The relationship between Ouyang Yuan and He Yunxiu could not be ignored. Perhaps this matter was related to Fu Ruihai. Thinking of this, Zhao Luyan couldn't help but sneer. Could it be that Ouyang Yuan regretted his decision and wanted to work together again? These were all guesses. The key was to see what he had to say after they met.
Shunde Restaurant was the largest teahouse in the capital. Its location was very good and it was very lively. Zhao Luyan especially liked this place and would come here whenever she had time. However, this was the first time she came here at night, and she had no choice. Ouyang Yuan had left behind a creed that said it was best to do it at night. Zhao Luyan had no choice but to listen to him. Fortunately, Zhao Shengming was not at home, and Fu Ruihai had also left, so he was not worried that others would find out. Because it was her first time, Zhao Luyan was still a little afraid. After all, she was a woman. If she met someone, it would be difficult to deal with them. She brought a few people over, but she did not let them stay with her. She asked for a room alone and sat there to drink tea. Ouyang Yuan hadn't arrived yet, so there was only him and Xi Mei. After waiting for a while, Zhao Luyan was a little impatient and urged Xi Mei,"Go and see if Ouyang Yuan has come. If he still doesn't come, we'll leave.”
Xi Mei was about to leave when she heard Ouyang Yuan's voice outside the window…
"Miss Zhao is so impatient. You've only waited for such a short time and you're leaving.”As he spoke, Ouyang Yuan had already flipped through the window and entered. With a smile on his face, he walked in front of Zhao Luyan, picked up a cup of tea, and downed it in one gulp." Good tea."”
"The door is open, but you don't leave. You open the window and jump in. Lord Ouyang is really different from others.”Although Zhao Luyan said this, she was not that angry. She stood up and poured Ouyang Yuan another cup of tea.
"I have no choice. There are too many people here. If someone sees us coming and going, it will be bad for me and Miss Zhao. It's better to be careful.”Ouyang Yuan sat opposite Zhao Luyan." Miss Zhao, why did you choose this place? There are so many people here, it's not convenient to go out and come in. Moreover, I saw that Miss Zhao brought quite a number of people with her today. If they see me, I'm afraid it won't be good. Why didn't you choose a more remote place? It would be easier for us to talk.”
"I know that Lord Ouyang is the same as my senior brother. He likes to walk at night to facilitate his work. However, this is the capital, not Jiangluo City. My father has many ears and eyes. Moreover, I don't know where they are at all, but they know me. If they see me and tell father, I'll be finished. Actually, this place is very good. I come here often, so my father won't suspect anything. The reason why I brought so many people was because I wanted them to be my witness and also to protect me. After all, I was a girl. It was inevitable that I would be a little afraid when I came out late at night. With them following me, I would feel a little more at ease.”Zhao Luyan looked at Ouyang Yuan with a smile.
"Zhao Luyan is a hero among women, and she is not inferior to men.”Ouyang Yuan deliberately sneered.
Zhao Luyan heard the sarcasm in his tone and was a little angry. However, she knew that now was not the time to be angry with Ouyang Yuan. To put it bluntly, she needed to cooperate with him now and could not anger him. She smiled and said,"Lord Ouyang, you flatter me. This little girl is not a heroine. I just don't want to be left behind, so I have no choice. When I was in Jiangluo City, I didn't leave a good impression on Lord Ouyang. Please don't believe me. Zhao Shengming asked me to do this, so I couldn't do anything.”Seeing Ouyang Yuan deliberately turn his head to the side as if he did not believe her at all, Zhao Luyan smiled helplessly and continued," Let's not talk about the past. It's all in the past." Actually, I didn't want to come today. If it wasn't for your invitation, I wouldn't be here. I don't know if father will come back tonight. If it's too late and he suddenly comes back without seeing me, it'll be difficult for me to explain.”
"In that case, I'll get straight to the point.”Ouyang Yuan coughed lightly and looked at Zhao Luyan. He asked," Miss Zhao, do you still remember Shen Xiyin and Huangfu Ye from Jiangluo City?”
"Of course I remember. Without them, we wouldn't have been able to obtain the Night-Luminescent Pearl.”As expected, it was related to them. Zhao Luyan knew what was going on. Since Ouyang Yuan had said it, it meant that these two people were not dead. However, Zhao Luyan had to figure out what was going on. Hence, he deliberately asked," I remember that Lord Ouyang promised me that he would deal with the two of them that night. How is it? Everything went smoothly, right?"”
"They didn't die." Ouyang Yuan said calmly.
"What did you say?" Although she was mentally prepared, Zhao Luyan was still shocked when she heard this. She subconsciously stood up and questioned," What exactly is going on? You have to tell me clearly what you promised me back then. Have you forgotten?”
"Miss Zhao, please calm down. I still remember what I promised you. I didn't want them to live either, but something happened back then that forced me to show them mercy.”
"What happened that made you suddenly change your mind?”Zhao Luyan asked excitedly. He suddenly felt that this was not a good idea, so he sat down and asked," If I remember correctly, Lord Ouyang has never met Shen Xiyin before. He only met Huangfu Ye a few times and did not have a deep impression of him. Why would he show mercy to them?”
"You're right, I want to kill them. If it wasn't for Fu Ruihai, they would have long become ghosts under my blade.”Ouyang Yuan said hatefully.
"It really is him." Zhao Luyan became even angrier when she linked Fu Ruihai and Shen Xiyin together again. However, Ouyang Yuan was in front of him, so he could not flare up. He could only keep his cool and ask in a low voice," What did he ask you to do?”
Although Zhao Luyan's tone was extremely calm, Ouyang Yuan could still see the ripples beneath her calm face. He sneered and said,"I set off after I promised you that night. They shouldn't have gone far by then. My plan is to end the battle quickly and leave no room for negotiation. I didn't expect to meet Fu Ruihai halfway. He heard everything we said. He asked me to give up on chasing him and even mentioned He Yunxiu. You know our relationship. I didn't want to have a conflict with her. Besides, I had no enmity with Huangfu Ye and the others, so I agreed. Instead of chasing after them, he went straight back to the capital.”
"No wonder Shixiong didn't care about them and seemed to have forgotten about them. It turns out that he was confident and knew that they were safe. You made me nervous for so long." Zhao Luyan said in a bad mood. She thought that she had hidden it from Fu Ruihai, but she did not expect Fu Ruihai to know it all along and deliberately play dumb with her. Zhao Luyan suddenly felt like a failure. She sighed and said," Why are you telling me all this? Are you trying to sow discord between Fu Ruihai and me? You're wrong. My relationship with Fu Ruihai isn't ordinary. Even if that's the case, the matter is already in the past. As long as he and Shen Xiyin stop interacting, I can let bygones be bygones and continue to pretend that I don't know anything.”
"I'm not interested in your relationship with Fu Ruihai. I'm telling you this because I regret it. Now I know that you were right. Shen Xiyin and Huangfu Ye can't stay.”
"It's good that you know this. I, Zhao Luyan, have always been far-sighted and thoughtful. This time is no exception.”Zhao Luyan said proudly," But it's not too late for you to realize this now. The two of them have nowhere to go, so they definitely can't stay in Jiang Luo City. If I'm not wrong, they must have gone to the outside of the pass. Shen Xiyin is from there. Go find them now and kill them. It can be considered as making up for your mistakes.”# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:052520186:07PM
