Wrong Marry to Cold CEO - C281
After resting like this, he continued on his way. After three days of travelling, he finally arrived at Shuishan. It was an extremely remote place. The surrounding mountains were stacked up, looking extremely dangerous. From afar, it looked like a painting of mountains and rivers.
This was the first time Xue Fu and Duan Wang came back to this place. Xue Fu had only heard that True Master Jade was practicing martial arts here all those years ago, but she didn’t expect it to be a secluded place like this.
When they arrived at the entrance of the water mountain, a senior sister who had grown up with Xue Fu came out to welcome them. When she saw the two of them, she welcomed them happily and said, “Master has always been thinking about you two, afraid that something might happen to you two.” When he finished, he sized up Duan Wang and smiled shyly: “This must be Duan Wang, right? Master has always praised you as a martial arts talent. ”
Duan Wang politely cupped his fists towards her and said with a smile, “Miss, you’re too kind. It’s our first time meeting you. Say hello to Miss.”
“This is my senior sister Leng Cui.” Xue Fu introduced the two people as he looked towards the top of the mountain with an anxious expression. She was really impatient. Although Yue Ye wouldn’t possibly be in trouble, she still wanted to see him immediately.
“Hello, Lady Leng.” Seeing Xue Fu being so anxious, she laughed and teased, “Look, junior can’t wait to see the emperor. Let’s quickly enter the mountains.”
Xue Fu was so amused that her face turned hot, but she couldn’t help but ask, “How has the emperor been these past few days?”
“Alright, having a master to take care of you is naturally for the best.” Leng Cui replied with a smile, and they walked into the valley.
The place where Master Yuzhen trained was a large stone chamber. It was dark and quiet inside. The cave entrance was filled with lush green thorns. Duan Wang considerately pulled out the thorns for the two of them. With an apologetic expression, Leng Cui said, “It’s been a long time since I last lived here. I haven’t tidied it up cleanly enough.”
With Yue Ye’s heart and soul tied to him, Xue Fu allowed the two of them to slowly advance, while he quickened his pace and headed inside. When Master Yuzhen saw them, she heaved a sigh of relief and said, “You’re finally here.”
“Greetings, Grand Master Yuzhen.” Duan Wang cupped his fist and bowed.
“Duan Wang saluted. It should be Old Ni bowing to him.” He glanced at the unconscious Yue Ye and said, “The reason why Old Ni came to find King Duan was because he knew that the Northern Kingdom and the Empress Dowager were both searching for the whereabouts of King Duan and the Emperor. They can’t head in the direction of the Ning City anymore.
“Thank you for saving us.” Duan Wang thanked him gratefully. True Master Yu waved his hand at him, and the anxious Duan Wang immediately walked to the stone bed Yue Ye was lying on, sizing him up.
Xue Fu didn’t let go of Yue Ye’s hand the moment he came in, and the dim light in the stone room shone on her small white face, reflecting the light that ached for her. She turned back to the True Jade Grandmaster and asked, “Master, when will the Emperor wake up?”
“I can wake up soon. I’ve controlled the emperor’s sleeping points for the past few days. I’m worried that I won’t be able to suppress him even if he’s in a hurry to return to the city when he wakes up.” Now that you have come, maybe you can persuade him to give up and return to the city. ” Master Yuzhen spoke with a bit of helplessness as a slight gust of cold wind blew in from outside the cave, gently stirring everyone’s emotions.
The oil lamp on the stone wall also swayed with the gentle breeze, struggling not to extinguish it. Under the flickering of the flames, the room was not bright or dark as it alternated between one another. It made people’s faces dark, making it hard to see their expressions.
In the evening, Yue Ye finally woke up, unable to adapt to the dim light in the stone room. However, the familiar figure before him caused his heart to be filled with joy. It was his Queen!
His body moved slightly, and Xue Fu who was sitting blankly on the bed immediately woke up, and laughed when she saw him wake up. He called out softly, “Yi, are you alright? Does the wound hurt? ”
Yue Ye shook her head, sitting up from her stone bed, sizing up this unfamiliar stone room, muttering to herself, “This Emperor feels that I have slept for a long time, what kind of place is this? How did we get here? ”
Xue Fu held onto his hand. His hand was still warm, and he already had a feeling about it. She answered with a smile, “This is where the True Master Jade was once cultivating. It is located in the remote Shuishan of the State of Cloudmoon. The situation is uncertain right now. Master is bringing the emperor here to seek refuge.”
Yue Ye withdrew her gaze and looked around, landing it on Xue Fu’s face, caressing her tender skin with her hand, she gave a bitter laugh, “As the ruler of a nation, how could I flee in battle at this time? I should be with my people. ”
“Your majesty, as the old saying goes, leaving mountains to burn while being unafraid. Revenge must be done through long term planning, and one mustn’t act rashly.” She could see the resolution in Yue Ye’s eyes. She had to change that resolution, as only then would she be able to save his life.
“The empress is right.” He stood two meters away from Yue Ye and Xue Fu and bowed, saying, “Your majesty, the rebel army is rampant right now, and it directly promotes the momentum of the Northern Kingdom. This is not the time for revenge.”
“Sixth Brother, you’re here.” Yue Ye was extremely shocked to see him, and waved her hand to signal him that there was no need to be overly courteous.
Xue Fu walked out and poured Yue Ye a cup of water, and upon returning, he said with a helpless expression, “We definitely didn’t think that General Liu would actually have the guts to betray us, could it be that he’s not afraid of death?”
“Your majesty, General Liu is only depending on the situation. When the empress dowager and Prime Minister Bai decided to betray their nation, he had no choice but to do so even if he didn’t want to.” Besides, General Liu bore grudges against the Emperor for the matters that happened in the future. If he had the opportunity, he would naturally be willing to defeat this lonely and new king!
“Are they that confident that they can defeat the North?”
“They are indeed overconfident. The State of Yun Yue will soon become the domain of the Northern Kingdom!” Duan Wang felt helpless and heartbroken. Just like Yue Ye, his country had been played around by a pack of overconfident and ambitious wolves!
Yue Ye took a deep breath in pain. This information was like a small needle piercing the bottom of her heart, painful and painful. Xue Fu gently placed her small hand on his big palm, giving him the power to support her.
Seeing Yue Ye’s sadness, Duan Wang hurriedly comforted her, “Your majesty, let them go now. What your majesty should be doing is accumulating troops and horses, just like the Northern Kingdom. They should be waiting for the right time to seize the world in one fell swoop.”
From this point of view, Nangong Jue and Nan Gong Yu were outstanding. There had never been a small country that had such powerful fighting capabilities, and had managed to grab hold of the situation so well.
Yue Ye let out a bitter sigh. Besides this, what else could he do?
“Come out with me to see the sun.” After he suddenly said this, Xue Fu nodded his head in joy, as long as he did not make any noise about going back to Ning City. After exchanging an excited look with Duan Wang, he took Yue Ye’s arm and headed into the cave.
Outside the cave, the setting sun was slanting down from the western mountains, which were shrouded in a blurry golden light.
At this moment, the light of the sun seemed to have been swept away by someone. It no longer dazzled people’s eyes, but was extremely soft and bright. Little by little, they began to slowly retreat to the west. Finally, they began to sway on top of the western mountain ridge before sinking. The few clouds in the sky began to disperse, transforming into a gorgeous sunset glow.
He wondered if the sun would rise again tomorrow, and what he had lost.
It was the end of spring, and the chrysanthemums were blooming all over the mountain again. Yue Ye stood in the middle of a field of golden flowers with her hands behind her back. The ten autumn leaves were like a spring breeze, leaving behind a shallow mark on this mountain of chrysanthemums. It also left a clear mark on this man’s body.
In the span of ten years, under his daily hard work and training, his confidence in revenge grew day by day, and his originally indifferent face became even more cold and solemn. Facing these soldiers who had been trained over time, he still maintained his regal demeanor.
A steward hurried out of the hall and knelt behind him. “Your Majesty, the empress’s in trouble.”
When he lifted his head, Yue Ye’s figure had already disappeared from his sight, and he only had enough time to see Yue Ye’s blood-red gown flash at the entrance of the cave. The Emperor’s Speed… The officer blinked, thinking he must be seeing things.
Yue Ye’s anxious figure quickly passed through the main hall, heading towards Xue Fu’s dorm. This was a huge and luxurious underground palace, and every place was meticulously designed by Yue Ye’s personally in charge. After passing the first hall, there was a room at the back that was not much smaller than the front hall. It was surrounded by huge stones carved into the walls, making it look extremely dangerous, yet it also exuded a fine and luxurious feeling.
The sound of water splashing against the ground came from the center of the hall. The pool’s clear water seeped to the bottom, and the pebbles at the bottom were like night pearls wrapped in beads of light, giving off an alluring feeling. It was the only clear pool in the hall.
However, Yue Ye was not in the mood to care about all these. Her steps were like the wind as she rushed towards the last palace. The thick frame of the door was empty above it, and it had never been opened.
Inside the room, Xue Fu’s thin and weak body was curled up on the stone bed. Her scrunched up eyebrows were painful to look at, and by her side, there was nothing Yu Zhenjun could do about it.
The tiny gold needle was held tightly in his hand. It was long and thin, a dazzling gold under the dim light. She needed to pierce a needle into a certain place on Xue Fu’s head, after which, either the poison would retreat or the person would die. Every time Xue Fu became ill, she would be in extreme pain and strife.
“Yi …” “Save me …” A small voice filled with pain came out from the corner of Xue Fu’s mouth. However, she didn’t feel any pain at all, because all of her feelings had been sucked away by the sharp pain in her chest. Her chest felt as if it was on fire, as if a rusty knife was slashing at it. That kind of pain wasn’t something she could endure, but it accompanied her for ten years.
A cry for help came from her mouth. It was despair, but also hope. She knew that Yue Ye would definitely save her. After so many years, wasn’t he the one who saved her?
