Duke Jing's younger sister

The moon is crescent, the wind is gentle, and the sound of the pipa continues leisurely in the east tent.

Under the dim moonlight, Luo Cheng felt the special gaze from the woman in front of him.

He couldn't help but curl his lips and smile, and jokingly said, "What are you looking at? Are you in love with me?"

Shen Li: "......"

Why can't this person be a mute! ?

She must have been kicked in the head by a donkey to think he is a good fit!

"I like you? Stop daydreaming!"

"You're so absolute? This makes me lose face, okay?" Luo Yan said angrily.

Shen Li was too lazy to pay attention to him and continued walking forward. In the dim light, several figures came running towards her. They were the men who had just run to the east tent to peek at Linlang.

After seeing Luo Cheng, the purple-clothed man immediately praised,

"That Miss Linlang is so beautiful. Compared to her, those people in Wanhua Tower are just mediocre!"

The others echoed, "When we just passed by, we saw her sitting in Duke Jing's arms!"

"I heard that Duke Jing asked the prince for her, and he wants to spend the night with her tonight!"

The man in purple made two "tsk tsk" sounds, his teeth aching with envy.

"As expected, a hero cannot resist the temptation of a beautiful woman. On the surface, Duke Jingguo seems to be a man of high moral character and integrity, but he never thought that he would fall at the feet of Miss Linlang in the end. You can't judge a person by his appearance!"

Several people were talking about it, and Shen Li felt as if a huge rock was thrown into her mind, splashing water everywhere with a splash, making her ears buzz.

There was no sound around her, and her mind was filled with the words she had just heard.

Linlang...sitting in the arms of Duke Jingguo?

He wants to spend the night with her... tonight?

No, she doesn't believe it!

These people must have been drinking, so they must have seen it wrong, or she must have been drunk and heard it wrong!

Subconsciously, she turned around and walked towards the east tent, unconsciously quickening her pace, but still felt it was not fast enough, so she simply lifted up her skirt and started running.

"Shen Li, where are you going?"

Luo Cheng shouted behind her. Her steps were hurried, and her slender back looked so fragile in the night, revealing a grief that was difficult for him to understand.

He immediately felt very strange, quickened his pace and chased after her, asking anxiously, "What's wrong with you? Why are you running?"

Shen Li did not answer. She seemed not to have heard anything and just kept running forward. Only when she saw the huge bright yellow tent did she slow down her pace.

She continued to move forward breathlessly, getting closer step by step. Although there was only a short distance left, she felt like she had used up all her strength.

Torches were lit in front of the tent, and a large number of soldiers were guarding outside. They stood straight with their hands on the swords at their waists, and the silver armor on their bodies reflected the jumping flames.

She stayed far away in the dark. Luo Cheng stood beside her and looked in the direction she was looking at, wondering, "What are you looking at?"

Shen Li did not answer. Seeing that something was wrong with her expression, Luo Cheng stopped asking questions and just stood quietly with her.

A moment later, a jade-like young man in a dark blue robe walked out of the tent.

Her dull eyes suddenly focused, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and she looked straight at the handsome man and beautiful woman who had just walked out of the tent.

The young man seemed to be drunk, his steps were unsteady, there was a smile on his lips, and there was a laziness in his handsome eyes and eyebrows.

In his arms, a woman more beautiful than flowers was wearing a red gauze dress. Her snow-white shoulders were faintly visible, outlining her proud figure.

Linlang was charming and enchanting, full of amorous feelings. She opened her red lips slightly, leaned close to his ear and whispered softly, as if she was saying some sweet love words.

He listened attentively, a smile spreading across the corners of his lips, like the peach blossoms blooming all over the mountains in spring, with peerless beauty and dazzling elegance.

Shen Li watched the two figures getting farther and farther away and more and more blurred. Tears silently slid down her cheeks, along the angle of her jaw, dripped onto the green grass leaves, and shattered into crystal dewdrops.

While she was looking at Shen Beiqi, Luo Cheng was also looking at her.

She just stood there quietly under the moonlight.

It was as if the soul had been taken away, and the eyes were empty and confused, as if staring at a point in the distance but unable to see anything.

He felt a little suffocated in his chest. What could he not see clearly and guess from her previous loss of composure and her current appearance?

It turned out that the person in her heart had never been Gu Nanxiao.

It turns out that the man she couldn't love was actually her sworn brother, Duke Jing, Shen Beiqi?

He was a little surprised and wanted to persuade her, but he didn't know where to start.

The night wind blew, and the grass covered with a layer of moonlight surged like a tide, accompanied by a slight rustling sound.

After a long time, she raised her head and looked at the crescent moon in the sky.

"Look, the moon tonight... is so beautiful." Her voice was filled with infinite sadness, which made Luo Cheng's heart feel sour.

He knew that she was not talking about the moon, she was talking about Shen Beiqi.

His throat was a little hoarse, and he didn't know what was going on in his mind, just like he didn't know why he had to attend her betrothal ceremony.

He stretched out his hand and stubbornly turned her body around, taking her eyes away from the unreachable bright moon in the sky.

"If the moon always causes you pain, stop looking at it."

Shen Li stared at him in a daze. At this moment, Luo Yan's long eyes were filled with the fragmented moonlight, and he looked serious, which was unlike him.

“When you give up the moon, you will get the stars in the sky, and you will find that the stars are also beautiful. There is more than just one moon in the sky.”

There is more than one Shen Beiqi in Jiangdu City.

Shen Li was stunned immediately.

She knew very well that there was more than one moon in the sky.

But so what?

She still watched herself sinking into unconsciousness step by step, watched herself doing things that she knew were impossible, and loving someone who she knew was unlovable.

She broke free from his hand, took two steps back, took a deep breath, and said, "I'm a little tired. I'm going back to the tent to rest."

She turned and left, and Luo Cheng stood there in a daze.

Her back gradually disappeared into the endless night.

Maybe Luo Yan is right.

She always chases the moon, but ignores that the stars can also shine. As long as she stops looking at the moon, perhaps she can find the star that belongs to her.

This is probably what he said today... appropriate, right?

When they reached the tent where Shen Beiqi lived, Shen Li stopped. Yue Yang was waiting outside the tent and was a little nervous when he saw her.

She approached the tent door step by step, and Yue Yang quickly stretched out his arms to stop her, "Third Miss, the master has gone to bed today, let's talk about it tomorrow."

The night was quiet, and the sounds of drinking and music in the distance could not cover up the moans of the woman in the tent.

She bit her lower lip hard, listening carefully to the sounds of pleasure coming from the tent, feeling as if her heart was being pricked by needles, with blood oozing out drop by drop.

A fishy-sweet taste spread in her mouth. She didn't feel the pain on her lips, but only felt that her whole body was numb.

Yue Yang looked embarrassed and tried to persuade her again, "Third Miss, um...you should go back first!"

Shen Li laughed helplessly.

She doesn't even have the right to feel heartbroken.

He is the famous Duke Jingguo of Southern Wu. What is one Linlang? It would be easy for him to get ten or a hundred Linlangs.

She closed her eyes, turned around, and walked towards her tent with heavy steps.

Yue Yang let out a long sigh as he watched her leave, and quickly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

As soon as she entered the tent, she felt dizzy and fell backwards as if she had lost weight.

In the darkness, a pair of hands caught her steadily.

When her head was dizzy, she realized that there was someone hiding in her tent. She was suddenly awakened and was about to shout, but the person covered her lips and pushed her against the corner of the tent.

There was a bonfire in the distance that was still going on. The evening breeze blew the curtains, and with the flickering firelight, she could see the man's pair of sparkling and deep peach blossom eyes.

"It's me, don't shout."
