In Yun Rou's bedroom, Fei Cui was looking at the back of her head in the mirror.
She carefully touched the lump that had yet to disappear and said with a frown,"It still hurts! The next time I meet that damn man in black, I'll definitely think of a way to knock his head a few times and let him taste the pain. Damn it!"
While Fei Cui was muttering, Yun Rou stood by the window and sighed. She had been sighing for the past few days, and her mood was also in a daze, as if she was dreaming.
Why is Ge Ge sighing again? Fei Cui couldn't care less about her injuries and quickly came to her master's side.
"Ge Ge, what's wrong? These few days, this servant saw that you were restless, unable to eat or sleep well. All day long, I looked out of the window and sighed. Yesterday, the Empress Dowager asked this servant why Gege was so listless and if this servant had not served her well enough. Ge Ge, if you don't cheer up, the empress dowager will definitely call the imperial physician to treat Ge Ge. That won't be good.”
"I don't want to see any royal doctor!”Yun Rou said weakly.
"But Ge Ge looks like she's sick. Not only this servant, even the Empress Dowager thinks so.”
Yun Rou let out a long sigh. She looked at Fei Cui with her eyes that were no longer clear, murmuring,"Maybe I'm really sick.”She pointed at her chest.
"Here?" Fei Cui panicked and shouted,"Gege, you have an injury on your chest?" When did this happen? This servant will immediately find the imperial physician…"
"Don't panic!" Yun Rou finally stopped Fei Cui who was rushing towards the door. "When did I say I was injured? You're so stupid. I'm talking about my heart disease, not my chest injury!”
" Heart disease?" Fei Cui's face was full of confusion. What was that?
"I think so." Yun Rou's expression was so gentle that she could squeeze water out. " It's so strange. I've never missed someone so much before. Besides, the other party is a man. I…"
She looked at Fei Cui shyly and couldn't continue.
"What?" Fei Cui was still confused.
She lowered her head and whispered shyly,""I've only met him once, but I can't forget him. I don't know why I've become like this. To someone I've only met once and only know his name, how could I treat him…I feel so embarrassed!”
She shook her head, and her flushed face was indescribably charming.
Although Yun Rou knew that Fei Cui would laugh when she said this, she couldn't help but say it out loud.
She had been holding these words in her heart for a few days. If she didn't find someone to confide in, she would definitely go crazy.
Fei Cui naturally listened to everything. She listened carefully and quickly sorted out some clues.
" Ge Ge-" She called out excitedly,""Could Ge Ge have fallen for that Bu Qingfeng who saved her life? The person that Ge Ge misses day and night is him, right?”
Yun Rou stared at Fei Cui, making her feel helpless.
"How do you know I'm talking about him?" she asked, tongue-tied.”
Fei Cui shouted again,"Ge Ge, if this servant still can't guess, then Ge Ge's love for this servant is in vain."”
Fei Cui was really happy. Bu Qingfeng was handsome and heroic, and he was a perfect match for the gentle and beautiful Ge Ge. Moreover, the Emperor seemed to value him very much. It was said that he had originally planned to reward him with an official position.
Ge Ge's taste was really good. Bu Qingfeng had the right to make her like him.
Fei Cui's words made Yun Rou's face turn even redder. She lowered her head and tugged at the corner of her clothes, saying shyly,"I'm really strange, aren't I? Actually, it would be a lie to say that I wasn't afraid of him. However, compared to those men who had interacted with me before, I wasn't that afraid of him. Moreover, I would think of him from time to time and even yearn to see him again.”
She raised her head and looked at Fei Cui with a pleading look."Fei Cui, do you know what happened to me? He had become so shameless, so shameless.”
Fei Cui couldn't stand it anymore and shouted,""Ge Ge, what are you talking about? You didn't do anything wrong. You just fell in love with someone!”
Yun Rou was stunned. "Are you saying that I like Bu Qingfeng?”she asked hesitantly.
"Yes, I am!" Fei Cui grabbed Yun Rou's hand and shouted happily,"Ge Ge, don't you understand? You care about him, don't you? You're still thinking about him and missing him. If this isn't liking him, then what is? This servant congratulates Ge Ge. Ge Ge finally has a man by her side that she isn't afraid of.”
"Is it like this?" Hearing Fei Cui's words, Yun Rou started to believe it herself. "You mean, because I like him, I'm not afraid of him and care about him.”
"That's it. Ge Ge, don't doubt it. This servant can tell Ge Ge with certainty that Ge Ge likes Bu Qingfeng. It's true.”
"Is that so?"
Yun Rou touched her chest. Her heart was beating fast. She felt helpless and bitter, but at most, it was sweeter than honey.
Although she had never liked anyone before, this time was different. Fei Cui was right. Although she had only met him once and only spoke a few words to him, he had given her so many feelings. If she did not have a good impression of him and liked him, then what was it?
"Perhaps that's true." Yun Rou's eyes were like water and she had a dreamy smile on her lips as she murmured,"If I can see him again, maybe I can be more certain of my feelings.”
"See him again? Isn't that simple? Ge Ge just needs to inform the emperor, and the emperor will summon him into the palace!”
"No, this won't let others know that I'm treating him…No, this is absolutely not allowed.”Yun Rou shook her head.
"I say, Ge Ge!" Fei Cui smiled and said,"Now is not the time to be reserved." That Bu Qingfeng is pretty good too. Isn't Ge Ge afraid that another woman will snatch him away?”
" You…" Yun Rou glared at Fei Cui with shame and anger, pouting her little mouth and said angrily,""How dare you laugh at me? See if I don't punish you to clean the latrines?"
Fei Cui was not afraid at all. She smiled and said,"Aiya, Ge Ge, spare me! This servant is doing this for Ge Ge's sake. Ge Ge, don't be angry. This servant has another idea that Ge Ge will definitely like.”
Yun Rou's eyes lit up.
"What method? Tell me about it."
"This servant will obey."
Seeing Yun Rou like this, Fei Cui laughed in her heart. Ge Ge's expression said everything. She really cared about Bu Qingfeng.
Fei Cui whispered into Yun Rou's ears.
Yun Rou's face turned awkward after hearing this. "Is this okay? I don't think it's appropriate."
"This is better than asking him to enter the palace openly, right?”Fei Cui tried her best to convince Yun Rou for her master's happiness,"Ge Ge, you have to quickly make up your mind. If you miss Bu Qingfeng, will you have a chance to find another man you're not afraid of in the future? This is your own happiness. You have to think about it clearly.”
Yun Rou looked at Fei Cui in a daze. The struggle in her heart continued.
Bu Qingfeng's daily life was actually very simple.
He woke up at dawn. He spent the morning teaching the disciples of the Howling Moon Manor martial arts. After fully exercising his muscles and bones, the afternoon was quiet. At this time, he would usually sort out the accounts and business of the manor, and would also take advantage of this time to go down the mountain to visit customers and friends.
Everyone knew that Bu Qingfeng was a famous figure in the martial world, but very few people knew that he was also a successful businessman. The neighboring towns and villages all had businesses that he operated or invested in, and almost every one of them was very successful. It was also because of his business acumen that he was able to expand the Howling Moon Manor to its current state. To him, business and martial arts were like fish and water. The fish would help the water, and the water would help the fish.
As for the night, sometimes when he went out, he would spend the night outside and not come back. If he came back, he would use the most peaceful time of the day to read and write, and finally go to bed. It was a simple, even meager end to his day.
It's really simple, isn't it? If there was anything special about his life, it would be Fang Ying, who had lived in the Howling Moon Manor three years ago.
Fang Ying was Fang Rong's younger sister, and Fang Rong was a good friend of Bu Qingfeng's for many years. Fang Rong's parents died early, and he and his only sister, Fang Ying, relied on each other to live. If it weren't for the accident three years ago, his, Fang Rong, and Fang Ying's fates wouldn't have changed so much!
If it wasn't for the accident three years ago, which was a terrifying accident, it could only be called an accident. If it wasn't an accident, Bu Qingfeng would never have killed Fang Rong, a good friend who was like his brother.
Three years ago, he was twenty-three years old, Fang Rong was twenty-five, and Fang Ying was only thirteen. That accident happened without any warning.
At that time, Fang Rong was not only his good friend, but also his capable helper. If not for Fang Rong's contribution to the Howling Moon Manor, the Howling Moon Manor would not have what it had today. In Bu Qingfeng's heart, the peak of the Howling Moon Manor was created by him and Fang Rong together.
On the day of the accident, he was sparring with Fang Rong. This was Fang Rong's suggestion, and he did not reject it because it was a common occurrence for him and Fang Rong. They often sparred with each other to see if their martial arts had improved or regressed.
It was just a competition between friends, but no one expected that this simple competition would turn into a nightmare.
Bu Qingfeng couldn't remember what had happened. During the competition, he accidentally injured Fang Rong and also took his life.
That was truly an accident, a terrifying accident. Bu Qingfeng would never forget the scene of Fang Rong dying in front of his eyes. That was the pain of his life.
On his deathbed, Fang Rong did not say any words of reproach. He only said six words: "Take care of Fang Ying for me."
Because of this sentence, Fang Ying moved into the Howling Moon Manor. Alone and helpless, she had another family member-Bu Qingfeng.
In these three years, Bu Qingfeng had taken care of Fang Ying meticulously and doted on her. Fang Rong's last words were always in his heart. He wanted to give Fang Ying the best and do his best to take care of her on behalf of Fang Rong.
As long as he was in the manor, he would look for Fang Ying, talk to her, and play chess with her. As long as she asked, he would do anything for her.
He usually went to Fang Ying's courtyard to see her in the afternoon.
"Yingying, are you feeling better today?”
" Big Brother Bu."
Seeing Bu Qingfeng, Fang Ying's pale face broke into a smile, and her frail body also rushed forward.
Bu Qingfeng's thick eyebrows furrowed because of Fang Ying's paler face than usual.
"Why do you look so pale? Did you take your medicine this morning?”
"I've eaten." The one who spoke was Fang Yingqing's maidservant, Xiaotong.
She was only one year older than the sixteen-year-old Fang Ying. She was an ordinary-looking, thin little girl.
"Miss coughed again yesterday and called for a doctor in the morning. The doctor said that she had a cold and prescribed some medicine.”Xiaotong said in one breath.
"You even invited a doctor? Why didn't you tell me?" Bu Qingfeng looked at Xiaotong reproachfully.
Afraid that Xiaotong would be punished by Bu Qingfeng, Fang Ying said first,""Big Brother Bu, I didn't want Xiaotong to tell you. It's not Xiaotong's fault, it's mine.”
"Why didn't you tell me?" Although Bu Qingfeng still had anger on his face, his gaze towards Fang Ying was gentle.
"Do you think I won't be worried if you hide it from me? If you hide it from me, I'll only be more worried. You know that, don't you?”
Fang Ying's eyes glistened with tears, and her voice became hoarse from excitement."Big Brother Bu, I naturally know how good you are to me. Sometimes I really hate myself. If I were a healthy woman, I wouldn't have caused you so much trouble.”
Ever since she could remember, this weak body had been with her. She was uncomfortable for most of the year, and bottles of medicine could be seen everywhere around her. Because of this, her body was as thin as a stick, and her face was paler than the average person. Eight out of ten people who saw her would suspect that she would be blown away by a strong wind.
"If you don't take good care of your body, you'll bring me trouble.”Bu Qingfeng said gently, raising Fang Ying's face to make her look at him.
This was a delicate and beautiful face. Her eyes made people feel that she was delicate and pitiful. If her pale face could have a healthy red color, he believed that this person who was as close as his sister would be very beautiful.
Fang Ying had to be beautiful because it was his responsibility. For the sake of the dead Fang Rong, for the sake of atonement, he wanted Fang Ying to live a healthy, beautiful, and happy life.
His slender fingers gently touched her almost transparent face as he gently said,""Promise me that you won't hide anything from me from now on, including your physical condition, okay?”
"Yes." Fang Ying revealed a pitiful smile, and tears welled up in the corners of her eyes.
Xiaotong, who was watching from the side, smiled happily and said,""Manor Lord, please chat with Miss. I'll go make tea now!”She tactfully let her master and his sweetheart be alone.
After Xiaotong left, Bu Qingfeng sat down, and Fang Ying sat opposite him.
"Big Brother Bu, I have something to discuss with you.”Fang Ying said.
"What is it? Tell me."
"It's like this. In ten days, it will be my big brother's death anniversary.”Fang Ying looked at Bu Qingfeng and said carefully,""Last year, because I was sick, I couldn't go to his grave to see him. This year, I want to invite you to go with me, okay?”
"Of course," Bu Qingfeng only replied once and then stopped talking. His expression was very serious.
For the past three years, he often went to the place where Fang Rong was buried to see him, but he had never gone with Fang Ying. It wasn't that he didn't want to go with Fang Ying, but if Fang Ying was there, he would be severely reprimanded to the extent that he couldn't bear it.
Big Brother Bu, are you angry?" Fang Ying saw the strange expression on Bu Qingfeng's face and said timidly,""If you don't think it's good, then forget it.”
"No!" Bu Qingfeng didn't want Fang Ying to worry, so he forced a smile. "I don't think it's bad. I just feel sorry for you.”
"Sorry to me?" Fang Ying suddenly understood. She said anxiously,"Big Brother Bu, do you think I blame you? No, I know it was an accident.”
"It was an accident, but it's a fact that I killed Fang Rong. It's an ironclad fact!”Bu Qingfeng said with a heavy tone.
"No!"
Perhaps Fang Ying was too excited, but she stood up and walked to Bu Qingfeng's side. She knelt down, and her upper body fell into Qingfeng's arms.
"Yingying?" Bu Qingfeng was stunned.
"I forbid you to say that!" Fang Ying looked up and shouted excitedly,"Big Brother Bu, I don't blame you anymore. It's been three years. You've taken care of me more carefully than my family, loved me more, and even treated me better than my brother. How can I blame you? Please don't blame yourself anymore. I know you're still brooding over my brother's death. I feel so sad.”
"Yingying, is what you said true?”The agitated Bu Qingfeng forgot that men and women shouldn't touch each other and that Fang Ying was only his sister. He hugged her tightly and shouted,""You really don't blame me anymore? Really? Was it true? Will you forgive me, forgive me, the murderer?”
"You're not a murderer. You're the person I respect and love the most!”Fang Ying cried out loudly.
Bu Qingfeng was moved beyond words. He pulled Fang Ying into his arms again.
This was the first time he had hugged Fang Ying. It was a hug from an older brother to his younger sister.
This was true for Bu Qingfeng, but it was completely different for Fang Ying.
Bu Qingfeng was not just her brother, not just her family. She had too much admiration and admiration for him. Such feelings could not be explained by friendship or kinship.
She loved him, and she wanted him to love her.
She knew that he still treated her as his sister, but this situation would not last long. She believed that he would soon realize that she was not only a sister, but also a woman who loved him deeply.
Yun Rou, who had never climbed a mountain in her life, had suffered a lot this time.
According to Fei Cui's information, the Howling Moon Villa was located halfway up the mountain. Although it was a mountain road, one could still ride a horse up the mountain. However, for some reason, her horse threw her to the ground and ran away as soon as she went up the mountain. Her means of transportation were gone. The food, water, and clothes Fei Cui had prepared for her had also disappeared with the horse, leaving her with nothing.
He didn't expect that the princess of a country would end up penniless.
At this moment, Yun Rou really regretted that her willpower wasn't strong enough to listen to Fei Cui. If her will was strong enough, she wouldn't have been incited by Fei Cui, and she wouldn't have fallen into such a miserable state.
She looked at the bruises on her wrists and the tears on her clothes. She was in a sorry state!
There was only one way now, and that was to rush to the Howling Moon Manor as soon as possible before the sky turned dark. Otherwise, when the sky turned dark, she would not even be able to see the road clearly, and she would be in trouble in this unfamiliar mountain.
She walked with all her might, laboriously, step by step, towards the Howling Moon Manor that she didn't know when she would reach.
She really regretted it now. She wished that she could grow a pair of wings and fly back to the palace hundreds of miles away.
If she had known earlier, she wouldn't have used the jade method.
This was the sequence of events.
Because she missed Bu Qingfeng, whom she had only met once, more than she could imagine. Besides Fei Cui, she didn't dare to tell anyone else what was on her mind. Therefore, she couldn't ask her emperor brother to summon Bu Qingfeng into the palace.
Since she had no way to get Bu Qingfeng to enter the palace, she could only look for him herself.
Fei Cui said. Fei Cui had already thought about it for her. It would take less than two days from Beijing to the Howling Moon Manor. Fei Cui wanted her to go to the Howling Moon Manor to find Bu Qingfeng herself. As for all the jade in the palace, she would deal with it.
The emperor was very busy every day and had so many concubines to pamper. He wouldn't notice that Yun Rou wasn't around in just five or six days.
As for the empress dowager, it was even easier. Last month, the empress dowager went to Wutai Mountain to pray for the emperor. She would not be back for at least half a year, so Fei Cui thought that Yun Rou would be safe this time.
"You want me to find Bu Qingfeng myself?”When Yun Rou heard Fei Cui's words, she was so surprised that her beautiful eyes widened.
"That's what this servant meant." "Ge Ge, think about it. Since you're too embarrassed to let him come to the palace, you can only go to the Howling Moon Manor to find him yourself." Fei Cui continued. The emperor doesn't know anyway, so Ge Ge, you can go in peace!”Fei Cui was very proud after she finished speaking. She admired herself for coming up with such a good method.
"This isn't a matter of being at ease.”Yun Rou didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Fei Cui, are you right? Putting aside my identity, I'm still a virgin girl. How can I just send myself to your door? What is this?"
"As long as we don't let Bu Qingfeng know that Ge Ge went to look for him, won't it be fine?”Fei Cui said," Ge Ge, you can use any excuse. You might be lost, or you might be looking for a friend. He would pretend that he had accidentally come to the Howling Moon Manor. This way, Bu Qingfeng would not know that Ge Ge had appeared in front of him to see him.”
" But…" Yun Rou frowned at Fei Cui. "Even if I do see him, what can I do? Don't tell me you want me to stay in the Howling Moon Manor?”
"Ge Ge is right this time!" "If you want to know more about a person, of course, you have to get close to him," Fei Cui said with a smile. Ge Ge could use this opportunity to get to know Bu Qingfeng better and confirm her feelings for him. This was killing two birds with one stone! Ge Ge, it'll be a pity if you shrink back because of shyness.”
Just like that, the indecisive Yun Rou was persuaded by Fei Cui's glib tongue. No matter how she thought about it, it was inappropriate. However, under the circumstances where she was at her wit's end and really wanted to see Bu Qingfeng, she had a fierce struggle in her heart. In the end, she listened to Fei Cui's plan and came here alone.
She didn't expect that she would be in a mess before she even met Bu Qingfeng.
She had wanted to reach the Howling Moon Manor before the sky turned dark, but because she was too anxious, she was distracted and did not see the big hole in the ground. When she realized that her right foot had stepped into the hole, it was already too late. Not only did she fall to the ground, but her right foot, which was stuck in the hole, also twisted heavily, causing her to cry out in pain.
"Ouch, it hurts!" She was in so much pain that tears were about to fall.
With cold sweat on her forehead, Yun Rou endured the pain and examined her injured ankle. Her ankle was swollen and would hurt at the slightest touch.
Yun Rou tried to stand up, but her right foot couldn't touch the ground at all. She sat on the ground, sweating profusely. She seemed to have used up all her strength.
"I'm really useless."
Only now did she realize how useless she was. She was like a canary kept in a beautiful golden cage. Once she left the cage, the canary would no longer be able to fly, nor would she be beautiful. She would become useless.
The more she thought about it, the sadder she became. The tears that had been swirling in her eyes for a long time fell.
After crying for a long time, she suddenly heard the sound of horses approaching her. Someone was coming!
She quickly looked up and saw a white horse. The white horse ran straight in front of her, and the raised horse's head kept hissing.
Yun Rou forgot to cry. Her wet eyes stared at the man on the white horse without blinking.
She finally saw him! In order to see him, she had suffered a lot!
"Bu Qingfeng!" She couldn't help but call out the name of the first man she had missed so much in her 16 years of life.
"It's you?" Bu Qingfeng immediately recognized the young lady who had fallen by the roadside.
That was the most beautiful and refined face he had ever seen. Even if he hadn't seen her for a year, he could still recognize her at a glance.
He immediately dismounted and ran to her side.
"Princess Yun Rou, why are you here?”As he asked, he looked at her tear-filled face in surprise, her torn clothes, and the redness and bruises he could see.
Compared to the bright and beautiful her she had seen in the palace the last time, she was quite miserable today.
" I..." Yun Rou's brain was in a knot when she saw someone she missed. She couldn't think of any excuse. Her eyes were fixed on the ground. The pain in her ankle made her unable to hide the truth." Big Brother Bu, I injured myself while riding a horse. My leg hurts…"
"Falling down?" Bu Qingfeng saw Yun Rou caressing his right ankle with a pained expression. He didn't think too much about it and only asked her,"Are you alone?"”
Yun Rou nodded at Bu Qingfeng with an innocent face.
Bu Qingfeng thought that saving her was more important, so he bent down and picked her up without hesitation.
"Sorry to trouble princess. Let me rest in my Moonhowl Manor first and let me help princess treat her foot injury!”
Bu Qingfeng hugged Yun's soft body and touched her soft and tender body. He could feel his heart beating wildly. He didn't understand why he had such feelings for a woman he had only met twice. He had never been easily moved by a woman, let alone a stranger.
Yun Rou didn't know that Bu Qingfeng was looking at her with a complicated gaze. At this moment, her face was red and her heart was flustered.
" Thank you, Big Brother Bu," she replied softly.”She was so shy that she only let him see her lowered eyelashes.
Bu Qingfeng quickly woke up. He shook his head and threw away those unnecessary thoughts. He carried Yun Rou on the horse as fast as he could and then galloped towards the Howling Moon Manor.#
