Chu Wu bent down again, wanting to touch the rose, but was stopped by Mu Lin,""Be careful, there are thorns." The man's fingers were slender and gentle. Under the current bath, they were so holy, as if a light touch would offend him.
Mu Lin didn't have such a feeling. He patted the dust off his hand indifferently and said to Chu Wu You,""I'll give this pot of roses to you.”
Chu Wuyou hugged the rose and walked back to the courtyard under the gaze of the High Priest and Qing Huan.
" This flower? The High Priest pointed at the flower and asked.
"Third Young Master gave it to me." Chu Wu You said lightly.
"Could it be that he is interested in the Emperor?" The High Priest suddenly laughed.”
Chu Wu rolled his eyes at the High Priest and said: "Can we talk about something serious?"
The High Priestess nodded, indicating for Chu Wu You to continue.
"He wants to form an alliance with us. This pot of flowers is the token.”
"Are you saying that he wants us to help him ascend to the position of City Lord?”The High Priest asked.
"I think he should know our identity. Besides what we say on the surface, we know nothing about him.”Chu Wu You said as she caressed Qing Huan.
"Then should we help him?"
If Chu Wuyou's guess was correct, Mu Fengyi's choice of City Lord should be Mu Lin. After all, Mu Lin was too similar to him. It was as if they were carved out of the same mold. It was just that one was old and one was young. The rest of the young masters were mostly mediocre and flashy. Only this third young master was unpredictable. However, if he helped Mu Lin, he would be going against Nie Wuhui. From the way he and Mufeng Yi were at daggers drawn, it was obvious that this matter was not that simple.
In an instant, Chu Wu You's mind was at a loss for ideas. A dark cloud floated across the sky. It was probably going to rain.
……
The promise really did not lie to Ming Yi. There was a deep lake under the cliff. Ming Yi jumped straight down, but he was only slightly injured by the impact. He did not hurt any vital parts. He simply bandaged his wound and began to look for the exit. He wanted to go up. When he reached the top of the cliff, he would climb a mountain and pass a city. Then, he would reach the territory of Xi Zhao.
Ming Yi walked along the flowing water and saw Promise in a long black dress. Her hair was tied up high, and she was sitting on the ground carefully grilling the fish. She saw Mingyi walking over and said,""You have been unconscious for three days and three nights. Fortunately, you woke up. Otherwise, I would have called the doctor instead.”
"Why are you helping me this time?" Ming Yi raised his head and asked, his eyes filled with doubt,""I won't give you a second chance to betray me.”
Promise smiled bitterly." I learned martial arts and literature. I sold myself to the emperor. I have never had a choice, so there is no such thing as betrayal."”
"Since you can't help it, why did you accept my Violet?”Violet represented the master's recognition of the killer, and also represented the meaning of " I trust you."
"Why aren't you saying anything? Are you feeling guilty?”Seeing that Nuo Yan had gone silent, Ming Yi could no longer stand this strange silence and questioned loudly.
"There's no need to mention these old things again. You've been unconscious for so long. You must be hungry.”Promise said nicely.
"You can leave. I hope this is the last time we meet. The next time we meet, it might be either you or me.”Ming Yi said tiredly.
Seeing him like this, Promise didn't say anything more. She got up and placed the grilled fish neatly in a place not far away from him."Whether you believe it or not, I have never betrayed you, not even once.”
Ming Yi closed his eyes and waved his hand at Promise, as if he was bidding farewell. Promise turned around, and there seemed to be tears in the corner of her eyes, like a meteor in the night sky, disappearing in the blink of an eye. There are no killers or pursuers ahead. You can go forward without worry. Ming Yi, it's good that you're alive. Live a brilliant life, live a high and mighty life, and you won't let down all the choices I made for you. You will be the king, the king of Xi Zhao, and the only king I promised.
At night, the rain seemed to have gotten heavier. The wind blew against the window and made it sound. Chu Wuyou tossed and turned, unable to sleep. Just as she was feeling troubled, she suddenly remembered that she had casually placed the pot of roses by the window. She did not know if it had been damaged by the wind and rain. Chu Wuyou quickly got up to check. As expected, the delicate petals scattered all over the ground. The flower pot was also blown into a mess. Chu Wuyou sighed. She did not expect that she could not even protect the pot of roses. If Mu Lin suddenly asked, how would she answer? When he gave it to Chu Wuyou, Mu Lin had told her to take good care of this pot of flowers. However, it had not even been a day and it had already become like this. Chu Wuyou could not sleep at all.
Early the next morning, he knocked on the high priest's door with dark circles under his eyes. The thick dark circles really scared the high priest. He smiled bitterly and said,"Do you have to do this for a pot of flowers? At most, I'll just buy another pot."
Chu Wuyou shook her head and said,"Do you think you can hide it from someone like Mu Lin by buying another pot?"”
The High Priest thought about it and agreed. After all, he was the one who was rude first, and he still needed that pot of flowers to deceive others. It was not the behavior of a gentleman.
"Are you sure you want to support Mu Lin as the City Lord?”The High Priest asked.
Chu Wu You nodded her head. It was a rare kind of determination.
On this side, Chu Wu You was still lamenting about the withering of the flowers. Lou Yan lifted his cloak and looked at the golden plaque of the Mu Residence. He revealed a strange smile. Little Emperor, you didn't expect us to meet so soon, right? I really want to let you taste my dart array again.
"Mr. Lou, this way please. The Eldest Young Master has been waiting for you for a long time.”Someone interrupted Lou Yan's thoughts. It was Mu Min's servant.
Lou Yan nodded.”
After passing through the courtyard surrounded by green trees, they arrived at the door of Eldest Young Master Mu Min. The servant knocked on the door and said,""Young Master, Mr. Lou is here."
There was a moment of silence in the room before a deep voice came from inside,""Please come in, Mr. Lou."
Lou Yan thanked the servant and pushed the door open. The door was simple and heavy, making a creaking sound.#
