Who is the white moonlight these days? We are just following the plot

Only then did Wen Yuan have the mind to talk to Li Heng.

"Prince Ruiping, why are you here?" Wen Yuan's voice was not loud, and compared to Li Heng's enthusiasm, it was indeed a little cold.

Li Heng's smile froze on his lips. "I'm going back to the capital to report, and I'm coming to see the Empress's wife."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Everything is fine with me."

Wen Yuan blocked the topic completely, and it was very obvious that he didn't want to reminisce about the past.

Li Heng was not deterred by her cold attitude. He asked, "Sister-in-law, can we talk alone?"

Wen Yuan's original intention of being cold was to keep Li Heng away from Ji Xingyao, or to chat alone, so that Ji Xingyao wouldn't have to serve him closely.

Wen Yuan nodded and asked Nanny Li to take Li Heng to the study.

After Li Heng left, after a while, Wen Yuan found some unimportant work for Ji Xingyao to do.

Ji Xingyao understood her intention, accepted the task and quickly left Yonghe Palace.

Only after Ji Xingyao's figure disappeared outside the door did Wen Yuan straighten his clothes and enter the study.

Nanny Li prepared the best tribute tea, and Li Heng was sipping it.

After Wen Yuan took his seat, all the palace maids in the study left.

"Sister-in-law, is the maidservant serving you called Ling'er?"

Wen Yuan never expected that this would be the first question Li Heng asked.

"Yes, is this what Your Majesty wants to say?"

"Of course not. I just heard the eunuch in the palace mention it last night. He said the emperor's sister-in-law has taken in a new maid."

Wen Yuan brushed off the non-existent dust on his sleeves: "This little thing is worth the prince making a special trip."

Li Heng put down his teacup and said with a helpless smile, "Imperial Sister-in-law, I just wanted to come and see you. It's my fault for bringing up random topics and making you unhappy."

Only then did Wen Yuan realize that she had wronged Li Heng.

She had something to hide. When Li Heng mentioned Ling'er, she overreacted and thought Li Heng had bad intentions.

For a moment, neither of them spoke, and Wen Yuan felt a long-lost sense of apology.

Li Heng drank the whole pot of tea like a mute. After finishing the tea, he started talking.

"Sister-in-law, I miss Xingyao. I can't find anyone to talk to, so I have to shamelessly come to you. Because I know you miss her as much as I do."

Wen Yuan was silent.

"After returning to Beijing, I went to Xingyao's tomb. It was empty, just like before I left."

Li Heng peered through the window sill at the fluttering butterflies outside: "Xingyao loves catching butterflies. If she were here, the butterflies in the Imperial Sister-in-law's garden would be in trouble."

This is true. Just now, Ji Xingyao caught two butterflies and his hands were covered with butterfly scale powder.

"Prince Ruiping, Xingyao is already dead. There is no point in reminiscing about the past."

Li Heng did not refute.

"I went to the frontier and met a master who said I had an aura from another world."

When Li Heng mentioned this, his eyes lit up: "At that time, I was wearing a strand of Xingyao's hair."

what!

This guy must be a pervert.

Secretly cut Ji Xingyao's hair and kept it with him?

"Sister-in-law, I know I was wrong, but I don't regret it. I'm glad I made this decision. I think it won't be long before I can find Xingyao."

Taoist priests in ancient times were charlatans with eloquent mouths. Wen Yuan never expected that Li Heng would fall for this trick.

She said halfheartedly, "Oh, really?"

"I know the Empress-in-law doesn't believe me. When I find Xingyao, I'll bring her to see you as soon as possible."

Li Heng was not discouraged by Wen Yuan's cold attitude. He was full of confidence and looked forward to the day when he would meet Ji Xingyao again.

"Li Heng, maybe Xingyao has been reincarnated and is living a happy life. If you keep holding on to her like this, aren't you hindering her happiness?"

Wen Yuan poured a basin of cold water on him without any mercy.

"Xingyao is not dead, she just hid herself." Li Heng said stubbornly.

From a God's perspective, Li Heng's persistence is right.

But Wen Yuan, the person involved, did not want Li Heng to continue to harass Ji Xingyao.

Ji Xingyao's life is long, and there are many wonderful places waiting for her to explore. She will meet many people. Li Heng is just a passer-by in the long journey of life. It's over, and there is no need to look back.
