He stood behind the rockery, feeling as casual as meeting old friends: "I'm picking flowers."

Yun Wei hummed, "I'm learning flower arrangement from Concubine Xian these two days."

Lu Xingyi said with a smile: "No wonder, my royal garden has been wiped out by you."

Yun Wei argued, "I didn't dare to pick the ones in the big garden. They were all picked in Concubine Xian's small garden, you see."

She showed him the flowers in her hand, proving that they were not from the imperial garden.

Lu Xingyi looked at the plum and camellia in her hand and said, "Can you give me one?"

Yunwei was very generous, "Pick whatever you want."

Lu Xing also only needs one.

It was the branch of red plum that she and Ruhua were discussing just now, with eleven plum blossoms on it...

He picked it out and turned it around on his fingertips, "This one will do."

Under the rising sun, the plum blossoms still carry the morning dew. Facing the rays of light, they slowly gather into a long-lasting painting in Lu Xingyi's eyes...

On Yunwei's 15th birthday, Lu Xingyi gave her a bouquet of white roses.

She counted eleven flowers at that time.

Feeling it was unlucky, I pulled out one flower and said with a smile, "It's so perfect."

He pulled out the one she pulled out and inserted it forcefully back in. "Eleven flowers are pretty good too. They represent wholeheartedness. I will treat you wholeheartedly from now on, okay?"

At that time, she didn't understand what his single-mindedness meant, so she was very well-behaved, smiled sweetly, and said, "Okay."

I don’t know that white roses also have another flower meaning: I am enough to match you.

Lu Xingyi always thought that when he was good enough, he would be worthy of Weiwei, but he never expected that life would be so dramatic.

He broke his promise...

Feeling ashamed, Lu Xing also thought of letting her go a few days ago, and said guiltily: "Last time, I heard that the Iron Flower will be returning to the show today. Do you want to go and see it?"

Yunwei wants to go, but she doesn’t know if he will go?

She didn't want to be with Lu Xingyi, otherwise the queen would be jealous and her ex-husband would sneak into the palace at night and torment her.

As if he could see her concerns, Lu Xingyi was particularly considerate, "I'm very busy and don't have time to accompany you. Can you ask the guard to accompany you?"

Yun Wei's lowered eyelashes instantly raised, but she still said calmly, "That's okay, I promise not to run around alone."

Lu Xing also saw her joy, which was just because of his absence.

Looking back, Weiwei used to be clingy, but now she has finally grown up.

He is no longer needed...

He raised his hand, suddenly wanting to touch her head, but he raised it halfway and did not drop it in the end, turning into a brushing motion.

"A plum blossom fell on your head..."

Yunwei said oh and hit herself twice.

Lu Xingyi clenched his palms and said, "Go back and pack up, and change into clothes that are convenient for traveling. Someone will pick you up soon. Go out early during the day, and you can also go shopping in the market."

Yunwei was surprised that he was so considerate, so she became more generous and said with a smile: "Then I will give you another flower. It would be great in pairs."

Lu Xingyi looked at her smile and shook his head: "No, the two will make me confused. I don't know which one is more beautiful, so I might as well stick to this one."

Yunwei said oh, took back the flowers and excused herself.

Half an hour later, a young eunuch prepared a carriage to take her out of the city.

Yun Wei changed into a lighter smoky purple coat skirt, which looked cute and cute.

Lu Xing also came to see her off in person and assigned many guards to her to protect her safety.

He also told her to be careful outside and never leave the sight of the secret guards.

Don't be playful and run around, nagging as if she is not just going to play, but going out for a long time...

It's a pity that Yunwei is now focused on going out to play. Like a bird that has been trapped for a long time, it can finally flap its wings and fly around, and can't wait to rush to the sky.

She hummed a few times and happily climbed into the carriage without seeing the complicated emotions in Lu Xingyi's eyes.

Ru Shi opened the curtain for her, and the sunlight fell on her hands, which were white and soft...

Lu Xingyi's eyes were fixed on Weiwei's bright smile.

I haven't seen Weiwei smiling so happily for a long time.

After Yunwei got on the carriage, she poked her head out of the window, waved to him, and said, "I'll be right back."

Lu Xingyi also smiled and waved, but there was infinite melancholy in his eyes...

As the carriage moved away, Liu Ying appeared and said: "The princess's residence has been thoroughly searched inside and outside, and there is nothing suspicious."

"And when the princess left, she only went to say goodbye to Concubine Xian. There was nothing unusual about what she said."

"The princess's carriage was also inspected by my subordinates. There is no place to hide anyone. The princess only took Ru Shi Whua out with her during this trip. The others are all our people."

It seems that Weiwei is unaware...

Ye Mengruo ran away.

But Lu Xing was also sure that she must be in the palace.

Someone must have hidden her.

Lu Xingyi immediately suspected Weiwei, but now, seeing that she looked cheerful about going out to play, he probably didn't know.

But now it doesn't matter whether you know it or not.

Lu Xingyi asked, "Are you all ready?"

"Go back to the master, it's ready. I personally saw the bowl of tea being fed by Princess Xian to the princess."

After a pause, he hummed, "Try not to hurt her..."

"Yes."

"How long will it take for Yun Chao to return to Beijing?"

"Within three days."

After getting some news from Ye Mengruo, Yun Chao arrived faster than he expected without him urging him.

Lu Xing also stood on the same spot, looking at the shadow of the carriage that gradually shrank into a little bit, his eyes far away...

……

When Chu Jiaojiao woke up, she found a vase on the window sill. There was only one bright plum blossom in the vase, which looked lonely and brilliant under the mottled light and shadow.

She watched intently, and the quilt fell off her shoulders...

Suddenly someone helped her put the quilt back on her and said in a gentle voice, "Wake up."

She turned her head and realized that he was sitting on the edge of the bed. He had been sitting there for an unknown amount of time. When his hand passed over her shoulder, she could feel the slightest chill through her clothes.

Brother Qi's hands have always been warm, but now they are also cold.

He weighed her backrest considerately and asked with concern, "Are you feeling uncomfortable again? I heard from Piaoxu today that you ate very little last night. You were poisoned. Your body is already weak. You can't be picky about food anymore."

As he got closer, the agarwood on his body became a little stronger.

Chu Jiaojiao didn't pay attention before, only thinking that he was used to smoking agarwood.

Now I know that he smoked these incense to cover up the smell.

The strange smell of blood in the secret room...

The smell was so strong today, it seemed like he had gone to the secret room.

Chu Jiaojiao rejected the smell and backed away from his surrounding area.

Lu Xingyi paused slightly. In the past few days, she had been avoiding him, or pretending to be unconscious, and he was more or less used to it.

Normally, he would act wisely and not make her feel disgusted or get emotional.

But today, he didn't avoid it. Instead, he took her hand and rubbed it slowly...

"Jiaojiao, did Ye Mengruo poison you and threaten you not to reveal her hiding place?"

Chu Jiaojiao was silent.
