Tyrant's First Favorite Concubine

Chapter 209 Scars

Ru Qin greeted Yu Li to sit down at an exquisite long table under the rose trellis, and said, "Yu Li, I knew about your coming here a few days ago, but I haven't seen you all this time, I think, there are many things It's all in the past, it's all a new beginning, so I don't want to disturb you."

"Ruqin, you didn't answer me. How could you be the concubine Ruqin of Xirong Kingdom?" She looked at Ruqin, her eyes full of questioning, "Could it be that you were so resolute at the beginning because of your status? Are you rejecting Chang Jai?"

Ruqin smiled slightly and said: "Even if I am not Rufei, it is impossible for me to be with him. Yu Li, have you forgotten that I am from Xirong Kingdom, and he is a general of Fengyan Dynasty."

Yu Li sighed, and said, "Ruqin, why are you so rational? How can you be so rational when facing feelings?"

Ruqin didn't answer, but instead asked her: "Are you still used to it here? Does he... treat you well?"

Of course Yu Li knew that the person Ruqin was referring to was Xiao Muyu.

She didn't know how to answer, because she suddenly found that the relationship between them was too complicated.

Ruqin didn't force her, pushed over a cup of tea, and said, "This is the most famous tea in Xirong Kingdom, you can't drink it anywhere else, try it."

Yu Li picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said, "Very good tea with a very clean taste."

Ruqin said: "This is a gift from him. There are only two cans of this kind of tea in the palace every year, one for me and one for the empress dowager."

Yu Li listened quietly, trying to figure out Ruqin's intentions in saying these words to her.

However, Ruqin went on to say: "All he can give me are these things you can see, this luxurious palace, the silk and satin on this body, and endless jewels and treasure hairpins, and more... , that’s the tea. Besides these, he said he couldn’t afford any more.”

She smiled, that smile may have been a little sour and sad two years ago, but now, there is only peace.

Yu Li finally understood why she said these things to her, she didn't want Yu Li to feel guilty towards her, and she didn't want Yu Li to have a barrier to Xiao Muyu because of her.

She still loves him.

Yu Li was drinking tea, she didn't want to talk about this topic anymore, she just said: "Can I still come to your place in the future? Can I still dance with you? Just like in Nuanxiangyuan..."

Ruqin looked at her for a long time and said, "Not good."

Yu Li looked at her disappointedly, she didn't expect that she would refuse.

Ruqin said: "This palace seems to be calm and peaceful, but there are so many people moving around, there will inevitably be disputes. Yu Li, stay in Jinxiu Palace and live your life well."

Yu Li understands her intentions, she knows that she is still the past, the past is like Qin, even now, she has become an obstacle to her happiness, she still treats her sincerely, and still hopes that she will live well.

***********

The palace lanterns of the Splendid Palace were flickering, the breeze came in through the gaps in the windows, gently lifted the curtains on the bed, and the person on the bed uttered ravings from time to time, even in their sleep, they were so uneasy.

Xiao Muyu had just returned from Chongxian Hall, he changed into thin and loose clothes, shunned the maids, and approached the big bed.

He raised the tent and looked at the beautiful face on the bed. What did she dream of?Why are you frowning like this, why are you in such pain?

Xiao Muyu sat down on the bed, but had no intention of lying down immediately.

"Cen Ya..." Suddenly, Yu Li called out, shaking her head as if struggling, "Cen Ya, why, why did you treat me like this...Cen Ya..."

She was almost in tears, and with such a demeanor, even those who saw her felt heartbroken for her.

Xiao Muyu wanted to comfort her, but as soon as she raised her hand, Yu Li grasped his hand tightly like grabbing a life-saving straw, and she whimpered: "Don't leave me, don't leave me... save me ..."

Xiao Muyu smiled strangely, leaned close to her ear, and whispered softly: "Li'er, I am Anyun..."

"Anyun... Anyun..." Yu Li murmured and repeated, and finally she opened her eyes suddenly as if startled.

"Ah—" She gasped and looked at him blankly.

Xiao Muyu smiled gently, he knew that Anyun must be smiling like this in front of her, he knew himself and Anyun that way, he often laughed, but that smile was rarely warm.As for An Yun, he rarely smiled, but when he smiled, it was always warm.

Li'er, do you like the warmth like this?

Yu Li seemed to have come to her senses suddenly, she approached Xiao Muyu's arms, and said in a low voice: "I forgot, I forgot that you have returned to my side, Anyun, it's good that you can come back..."

Xiao Muyu stroked her head without speaking.

Yu Li raised her head, looked at the face that had appeared countless times in her dreams, and also looked at the dark scar.

She stretched out her hand, and her fingertips moved gently on it, and she said, "Anyun, is there no way to get rid of this scar?"

Xiao Muyu narrowed his eyes and asked, "Why, you don't like it?"

Yu Li shook her head and said: "It's not that I don't like it, but this scar always makes me feel that you are far away from me, An Yun, if I can get rid of your scar, would you be happy?"

Remove scars?Xiao Muyu smiled in his heart.This scar once made him despair, make him feel inferior, and make him suffer, but later, this scar became his pride, his support, and his friend!In this world, perhaps the only thing that can distinguish him from An Yun is this scar.

He ### held her hair in a bun, and said hoarsely: "Li'er, it's not this scar that separates us, but..."

It was Gu Cen Ya.

He didn't say it after all, he couldn't bear to see her still in such pain when she woke up from the dream.

Yu Li didn't bother with this question anymore, she suddenly remembered the scene when she saw Ruqin during the day, and asked: "Anyun, how did you recognize Ruqin, and, and... she is actually your concubine."

"Are you jealous?" Xiao Muyu asked immediately as if he had caught something.

Yu Li curled her lips and said, "Why would I be jealous of her? Anyun, Ruqin is a very good person, do you know that she taught me all my dances. At that time we were in Geye City, in Nuanxiangyuan, if it weren't for Ruqin, I'm afraid I would have lived in even more pain!"

"Did you live in pain at that time?" Xiao Muyu held her face in his hands and asked, "Who made you suffer? Who bullied you?"

"No...no..." Yu Li said in a daze, "Anyun, don't talk about me, can you tell me about you? Since you are the king of a country, why did you sneak into Luoyun Valley at that time? At that time, Xirong Kingdom and The Yutian Empire is at war, aren't you afraid..."

Finally asked.Xiao Muyu said in his heart.

However, at this moment, he suddenly couldn't think of a good reason to explain it. He was silent for a moment, and asked back: "Li'er, we have been separated for so long, do you always remember me? Do you wish for me to come back in your heart?"

Yu Li smiled and said, "Of course, can't you see it?"

Xiao Muyu felt a pain in his heart, and suddenly blurted out, "But the one who came back now is no longer the Anyun that was back then!"

Yu Li was startled for a moment, then took his hand, his hand was so cold, as if there was no temperature, "Anyun, I know that many things have changed, but it doesn't matter, you are still that Anyun in my heart! "

Xiao Muyu's heart at this time didn't know whether to be happy or sad, she said that no matter what, he would always be that An Yun!

God, he really wanted to tell her that he wasn't An Yun at all, no!He is Xiao Muyu, the Xiao Muyu who will never forget her after seeing her on the battlefield!

**********

On the second day, Yu Li heard that the royal palace of Xirong Kingdom also planted a large piece of wintersweet. Although the winter in Xirong Kingdom is not as cold as Yutian Dynasty, the wintersweet flowers here are still blooming brilliantly.

Accompanying Yu Li, Ya Le took a walk in the wintersweet garden. Yu Li showed a rare smile and picked a large bunch of wintersweet flowers with the help of Ya Le.

"Girl, this wintersweet flower is raised in a glass bottle, and it won't wither after a long time in the palace!" Yale said happily.

Yu Li smiled and said: "In that case, let's take these wintersweet flowers back. This flower has a light fragrance and smells very clean."

Just as he was talking, Yu Li saw a pavilion not far away, which was different from ordinary pavilions, with five or six floors stacked on top of each other, and the construction technology was also very exquisite.

"What's that?" Yu Li asked.

Ya Le looked at Yu Li's pointing point, and said: "This is the highest pavilion in our palace, named Fengwu Pavilion, and you can see the whole royal city from above! By the way, after the girl came to the royal city, she has been waiting for a long time. In the palace, you still don’t know what our royal city looks like?”

Yu Li watched in rapt attention, nodded, and said, "Let's go and have a look."

Ya Le became anxious when she heard that, and said: "You must, the girl doesn't know something, that pavilion can only go up during festivals, and no one goes there on weekdays."

"Why?" Yu Li didn't listen, but still walked over there.

Ya Le followed and said, "There is a small river under this pavilion, and there is no bridge above it. Only during festivals do flower boats carry people up."

"Oh?" Yu Li hesitated now. She stared at the small river that Ya Le mentioned. It was already winter. The layers don't seem to be thick.

Yu Li stretched out one foot and tried it on the ice.

"Girl, don't scare the servant, you are too dangerous. If something happens, the servant will die ten times!" Yale begged bitterly, but how could her pleading stop Yu Li's actions at this time? curious?

She was already standing on the ice.

At this time, on the ice, a woman in a lavender skirt and jacket, wrapped in a snow-white fluffy cloak, holding a bouquet of wintersweet, is walking cautiously on the ice...

"Hiss..." Seeing that she was about to reach the opposite side, Yu Li suddenly heard a strange sound coming from the bottom of her feet.

"Be careful—" Ya Le yelled in panic, "Don't move, girl, don't move anymore..."

She was about to cry, turned around and cried out as if possessed, "Help, help—"

Yu Li also felt the danger approaching at this moment, she could almost predict that if she made a slight movement, she would fall into the river entirely.

She looked at the shore, looked at Yale...

At this moment, a dark figure galloped from a distance suddenly, he tapped his toes lightly, and within a split second, he picked up Yu Li from the ice, and after a perfect spin, both of them landed on the ground. on the shore.

Yu Li was still in shock, but Ya Le was surprised and delighted, and kept saying to that person: "General Ruoxun, thank you...thank you..."

Ruoxun?

Yu Li repeated this name in her heart. A few years ago, after leaving Luoyun Valley, there was a person who had been silently escorting her and Anyun, and caring for her. He called Anyun "Third Brother", and he Said his name was Ruo Xun.

Yu Li was so excited. If there was any uneasiness before, when she saw Ruo Xun, her heart was completely at ease. She walked up to him, looked at him with wet eyes, and said: " It's really you..."
