After being a widow for half my life, I found out that my husband was not dead.

As the night grew darker, a thud broke the silence.

Liu Yunxiang was leaning on Yan Mu's arms and was already a little sleepy. Hearing the movement, he looked towards the window and saw a flickering light.

"Are we setting off fireworks?"

Yan Mu squinted his eyes and said, "Yeah."

"I want to see."

The clouds had stopped raining in the room next door, but it hadn't been long, Liu Yunxiang thought to himself. Seeing that Yan Mu was too lazy to move, she pinched his waist very hard.

Yan Mu was dozing off. Under Liu Yunxiang's glare, he reluctantly got up, pulled her up, and came to the window again.

The window opened, and a burst of cold air rushed in. It was so cold that Yan Mu shivered. He picked up the big cloak from the Arhat bed next to him and put it on Liu Yunxiang.

Fireworks are being set off to celebrate the Longevity Festival on the shore of Liaoyan Lake, and the best viewing spot is the boat in the lake. Liu Yunxiang's eyes widened as she looked at the silver flowers blooming all over the sky, as if all the little bits of light had entered her eyes.

She watched the fireworks, and Yan Mu watched her.

"So beautiful!" Liu Yunxiang couldn't help but admire.

Yan Mu pouted, "Is it beautiful?"

“The most beautiful scenery in the world.”

Yan Mu lowered his head and kissed the side of Liu Yunxiang's face, "Just say so."

When it was almost five o'clock, the boat docked, and Yan Mu got up and hurriedly sent the emperor back to the palace, then turned back to pick up Liu Yunxiang.

At this time, everyone in Dongchang and the palace had left. When Liu Yunxiang and the others got off the boat, it was already dawn.

As soon as his feet landed, the beggar came running in a panic.

He was surprised to see Liu Yunxiang, but he didn't bother to ask any more questions. Instead, he pulled Yan Mu aside. He didn't know what he said, but Yan Mu's expression changed drastically.

He looked back at her, said nothing, turned around and strode away.

The beggar sighed and walked over, "Madam, let me take you home."

Liu Yunxiang looked at Yan Mu's leaving figure and couldn't help but ask, "What happened?"

The beggar sighed again, "King Suping and his family left the city before dawn for Xizhou."

Liu Yunxiang didn't know much about the affairs in the court, but she remembered that the previous king, Suping, guarded Xizhou. After the new emperor ascended the throne, he summoned him to the capital several times, but he ignored him, and finally became an internal trouble for Da Rong.

Until her death, Prince Suping's palace had always dominated Xizhou, becoming the overlord of the area.

"Xie Zixuan once drew a portrait under the torture of Dongchang, saying that he saw this person's face when they encountered the Beijin robbery of grain and grass." At this point, the beggar glanced at Liu Yunxiang and judged Yan through her expression. Did Mu ever mention this to him?

Liu Yunxiang saw the beggar's intention and shook his head, "Yan Mu never told me."

The beggar pulled his beard and continued: "Through investigation of this man, we found that he was a subordinate of General Zhenwei Li Shuo, and then found out that Li Shuo and Beijin had secretly colluded before the Northern Expedition, and Li Shuo was Su An old subordinate of Prince Ping.”

Liu Yunxiang suddenly paused and looked at the beggar: "So King Suping also had an affair with Beijin?"

"King Suping, this old fox, is scheming and hid very deep. We secretly investigated for a long time and found no conclusive evidence. We could only surround Prince Suping's palace first to prevent them from making other moves. But after a net bag was caught, they ran away. A big fish.”

"Lu Changan!"

The beggar took a deep breath and said, "Yes, he ran away."

"But he...what can he do?"

He was just a weak scholar, and his relationship with Prince Suping and his son was weak. Even if Prince Suping had any important instructions, he would not be allowed to complete them.

"When the emperor was still a prince, he was ignored by the late emperor and bullied by other princes because his mother-in-law was not of high birth. Later, his mother-in-law died of illness, and he was even more lonely in the palace. At this time, he was protected by two eunuchs. He had overcome all obstacles and sat on the throne. Of these two eunuchs, one was Shangguan Xu, now the governor of Dongchang. The other was Zhang Jian, who had been serving the emperor until he fell seriously ill the year before last. The emperor sympathized with him and Let him recuperate in Wuhou Mansion. Although there was no imperial seal due to etiquette, the gold-lettered plaque of Wuhou Mansion was personally written by the emperor, and he became a high-ranking Wuhou. Because of his childhood experience, the emperor only trusted Two people, one is our adoptive father and the other is Marquis Wu."

The governor of Dongchang was famous for his ruthless tactics, but Liu Yunxiang had never heard of this Marquis of Wu, thinking about it carefully.

"Marquis Wu often went to the Impermanence Taoist Temple in the mountains for meditation and rarely returned to the capital. But this does not mean that this person is truly isolated from the world and no longer admires power. The emperor raised a night wolf army, which was invisible and invisible. But when the emperor needed it, he could quickly assemble it, and the emperor handed this secret weapon into the hands of Wuhou, which shows how much the emperor trusted him. And this Wuhou had a good relationship with King Suping, and after King Suping was trapped, he was like a Naturally, he would not just capture a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, but wrote a letter to Lu Changan and asked him to take it to Marquis Wu for help."

Liu Yunxiang's heart tightened, so Yan Mu didn't want to kill Lu Changan for no reason.

"Marquis Wu returned to the capital and secretly took the emperor to Yiyue Pavilion, where he allowed the emperor to see the woman who looked very much like Yan Mu's mother. The emperor was so lustful that he actually listened to Marquis Wu's advice and agreed to let King Suping return to the west. Prefecture is guarding. The emperor will summon you to court this morning, and Marquis Wu is on guard against Dongchang, allowing Prince Suping to leave the capital first."

Liu Yunxiang frowned, "Why does Yan Mu keep holding on to King Suping?"

The beggar looked at Liu Yunxiang, his eyes suddenly sharp, "Back then, the emperor ordered the execution of General Yan's family, and the person who carried out the order was Suping Wang Lu Zhi."

Liu Yunxiang swayed, and she hid Lu Changan, indirectly helping King Suping and Yan Mu's father-killing enemy.

When I got home, it was already broad daylight.

The beggar still had something to do, so he escorted her back and left quickly.

Liu Yunxiang returned to the west room and was staring at the window in a daze when Aunt Zhang came in and whispered to her: "Zhang Qi asked me to tell Madam that the person you asked him to hide is back."

Liu Yunxiang's mind was suddenly shaken, but he fell into confusion again.

In the previous life, Lu Changan saved her.

In this life, Lu Changan also saved her.

In the last life, Lu Changan had a deep affection for her.

In this life, Lu Changan also showed affection to her.

Should she tell Yan Mu?

No, Yan Mu will lose his mind when he sees Lu Changan and kill him.

But if she didn't tell him, he...if he knew, he wouldn't forgive her.

After struggling like this for a day, when it was getting dark, what she couldn't prepare for was Lu Changan coming to the door in person.

Lu Changan walked in the front door, and before the two of them could say a word, Yan Mu came back, and his face turned gloomy.

Yan Mu sneered coldly, "Prince Lu, Prince Suping fled westward in a hurry, why did he leave you behind?"

Lu Changan raised his chin slightly, showing disdain and disgust when facing Yan Mu, but due to his upbringing, he didn't show too much.

"My father has been guarding Xizhou for many years, putting down foreign invaders and ensuring peace in the world. He is a great hero, and he acts and sits upright. If he hadn't been framed by treacherous villains like you, why would he be like this? Fortunately, the emperor is wise, and we have to calm down the palace. I was not harmed by you. As for me, I stayed here voluntarily."

Yan Mu raised his eyebrows, "Oh, you're not afraid of death?"

Lu Changan glanced at Liu Yunxiang, then straightened his back, "There is no need to fear death, but I can't harm Miss Liu."

Liu Yunxiang closed her eyes. Lu Changan stayed here because of her.

Yan Mu clicked his tongue, "You two really have a deep love for each other."
