It's not good to be a widow [Comprehensive]

"Your friend's wife?!" Duan Zhengchun really didn't expect, "Then why did she save our Majesty..."

Chu Liuxiang remained silent, because of Ye Gucheng's deliberate control, in today's arena, few people actually know about the fact that the wife of the Lord Baiyun ran away from home.

So as a friend, of course he had better not reveal anything to the outside world.

But he also knew Duan Zhengchun's character very well, and knew that if he kept it secret, it would only make him more curious about Lu Jinglu's identity.

If, out of curiosity, he ran to the Yihua Palace in Xiuyu Valley to look for Lu Jinglu——

Chu Liuxiang thought of this, and said decisively: "Maybe it was because I had an awkward fight with my friend before. She ran away from home, and my friend has been looking for her."

Duan Zhengchun: "Really? Then your friend..."

"He is very dedicated." Chu Liuxiang tried to remind Duan Zhengchun again, don't try to get Lu Jinglu's idea.

"It's quite inhuman." At the same time, Duan Zhengchun also said the second half of the sentence.

Chu Liuxiang was stunned again when she heard that, and she waited for a while before she spoke: "Where do you start with this? Did she mention the matter between their husband and wife to you?"

Although he and Lu Jinglu have not met a few times, but in his impression, Lu Jinglu should not say so much to unfamiliar people.

Sure enough, Duan Zhengchun's next sentence was no.

"But she is pregnant with the child by herself, and she would rather live outside than go back to find your friend. It can be seen that there must be a lot of conflicts between husband and wife." Duan Zhengchun said, "To be honest, if you didn't say that she is your friend's wife, I would have lost everything before. Hearing that our Majesty mentioned that the green girl was traveling with her friends while she was pregnant with Liujia, he thought she was a widow whose husband had died."

If he didn't know that there was nothing wrong with his ears, at this moment, Chu Liuxiang would have thought that he had auditory hallucinations.

What is Duan Zhengchun talking about?Lu Jinglu is pregnant with a child? !

"Are you sure she's really pregnant?" he heard himself ask.

"Of course I'm sure." Duan Zhengchun said, "She and that flying girl are both pregnant with children. If it wasn't for this, our Majesty wouldn't have delayed going to Xiuyu Valley for half a year to thank them."

Chu Liuxiang: "..."

Afterwards, he asked Duan Zhengchun carefully about some things, such as when Duan Yanqing was rescued by Lu Jinglu, and Duan Yanqing's estimate of Lu Jinglu's due date of delivery. From his answers, he deduced the possibility of Lu Jinglu's pregnancy time.

...It was before and after she left Baiyun City with the help of Su Rongrong and others.

After deducing this point, Chu Liuxiang also ignored the previous plan to relax in Dali for a while, and immediately said goodbye to Duan Zhengchun, saying that there were still important things to deal with.

Of course, before leaving, he didn't forget to remind Duan Zhengchun again: "If you don't want to get into trouble, don't mention this matter to anyone, and don't go looking for her again."

Duan Zhengchun was very curious: "So after talking for a long time, which friend's wife is she?"

With that tone and posture, it's clear that my heart is still itchy.

In order to make him completely give up, Chu Liuxiang could only say frankly: "My friend's surname is Ye, who is known as the number one sword in the South China Sea, do you know now?"

When Duan Zhengchun heard this, he almost lost his footing, and said, "Bai, Lord Baiyun?!"

Chu Liuxiang nodded, and said that I have said everything that needs to be said, and then you can do it yourself.

Duan Zhengchun: "..." Oh my god, I'll burn the painting in a while.

After Chu Liuxiang mentioned Duan Zhengchun, he left Dali quickly and rushed to Feixian Island without stopping, preparing to tell Ye Gucheng the news he had inquired from Duan Zhengchun.

Only at this time would he feel that the boat Zhang San built for him by Kuaiwang was not fast enough.

Fortunately, compared to the Central Plains, Dali Kingdom is not far from the South China Sea. It took him five days to arrive at Feixian Island.

This day happened to be the Double Ninth Festival, and Feixian Island was very lively. He got off the boat and went to the city lord's mansion to find Ye Gucheng, but was told that he was not there.

"Not here?!" Chu Liuxiang frowned, "Where did he go?"

"It seems that I went to the cliff outside the city to practice my sword." The old housekeeper replied to him and persuaded him, "The city lord doesn't like being disturbed by others when he is practicing sword. Xiangshuai might as well rest for a few hours until the city lord comes back. , I will inform you again."

Chu Liuxiang thought about Ye Gucheng's previous trip to the Central Plains, and it would take half a year to go there. She thought it best to tell him what she knew immediately, so she declined the proposal and went out of the city to find him.

The old housekeeper of the City Lord's Mansion groaned behind him for a long time, as if he wanted to persuade him a few more words.

Chu Liuxiang left a sentence that I have the news he most wanted to know, and then ran out without looking back.

There are four gates in Baiyun City, the one in the north of the city leads to the largest crabapple forest on the island, the south of the city is close to the ferry, and the west of the city is close to the sea.

Chu Liuxiang recalled the general location, and felt that if Ye Gucheng wanted to practice swords, he could only be in the east part of the city.

After going east all the way out of the city gate, he saw a white figure standing against the wind on a cliff not far away.

"You really have to thank me." Chu Liuxiang muttered this sentence in a low voice before raising his breath and rushing up.

……

In Xiuyu Valley, Lu Jinglu, who had sent Duan Yanqing and Duan Zhengchun away, did not know that his whereabouts had been leaked by Duan Zhengchun, a philanderer.

She felt that she had rested long enough after giving birth, so she decided to start practicing sword again in order to train her body to be more resistant to tossing.

Yaoyue was happy to see the success of this, and specially helped her improve the inner strength and mental method she was practicing now based on her physique.

Lu Jinglu: "Huh? Could it be that I practiced this badly before?"

She felt that from Ye Gucheng's point of view, it shouldn't be so.

"It's not bad." Yaoyue said, "It's still good for your body, but if you keep using that mentality, it will be difficult for you to become a top expert, do you understand?"

Lu Jinglu was taken aback by the word top master, and blurted out: "I couldn't be a top master..."

She thinks that people should have self-knowledge, but Yaoyue raised her face when she heard this, and said, "How can you think like that?"

"With me teaching you, why can't you become a top expert?" Yaoyue seemed to be angry, "Do you think I am willing to teach any cat or dog?"

Lu Jinglu's eyes widened when he heard this, and he forgot to express his opinion for a while.

When Yaoyue flicked her sleeves in anger and went back to the room to calm down, she realized that she was even more dumbfounded.

It's over, what should we do now?

She thought for a long time, but she couldn't make up her mind, so she had to seek help from Lian Xing, who knew Yaoyue very well.

Lian Xing was also shocked when she heard the whole story of her quarrel with Yaoyue: "Why do you think you can't become a top expert?"

Lu Jinglu looked confused: "I only started learning martial arts last year. I didn't have any foundation before. How did I become a master?"

"What? You only started learning it last year?" Lian Xing was even more surprised, "Then you can still get your sister to offer to teach you. It shows that you are really good at using swords, and you are one in a million talents."

"...Then what should I do now?" Lu Jinglu sincerely asked for advice, "She must be very angry that I don't seek to improve myself so much."

Lian Xing thought for a while, and said: "Based on my experience, my sister didn't get angry on the spot, and she didn't cut flowers or trees, so it's not too angry."

Lu Jinglu waited for her to speak.

"So—" Lian Xing continued with a prolonged tone, "Go and coax her, it should be fine."

"Coax?" Lu Jinglu didn't understand, "How to coax?"

Lianxing said that I can't give you any advice, otherwise let my sister know that you are coaxing her according to what I said, and she will turn her anger on me when she turns around.

Lu Jinglu: "..."

In other words, if she failed to seek help, she could only rely on herself.

Lu Jinglu made mental preparations for a long time that he might be disgusted by Yaoyue, and went to Yaoyue's residence with a sword.

Yaoyue still hasn't come out of the room, presumably the anger has not completely passed.

She took a deep breath, knocked on the door, and asked tentatively, "Grand Palace Master, can I come in?"

Yaoyue: "What's the matter?"

These words still sounded cold and hard, but at least she didn't reject her. Thinking about this, Lu Jinglu finally relaxed a little, then pushed the door open and walked in.

Sure enough, seeing her coming in, Yaoyue didn't reprimand her, let alone drive her out.

Lu Jinglu lowered her head and admitted her mistake, saying that she shouldn't belittle herself, let alone not believe in her abilities.

"I figured it out. I was not good at martial arts before because I hadn't practiced seriously for a long time." She said sincerely, "Now you teach me, of course it's different."

After she finished speaking, Yaoyue didn't respond for a long time, which made her very nervous, but she didn't dare to urge her, so she secretly raised some eyelids, trying to observe Yaoyue's expression.

As a result, Yaoyue found out after this move.

Lu Jinglu: "!" She immediately lowered her head again.

Seeing this, Yaoyue couldn't help but correct her and said, "Have some ambition, look up!"

Lu Jinglu: "...Oh!"

At this point, the sulking Grand Palace Mistress finally calmed down, and was finally willing to continue talking to her about sword practice.

Yaoyue said: "Anyway, you practice according to what I gave you first, and when you are almost done, I will add and modify the sword formula for you."

Lu Jinglu responded obediently: "Yes, I will definitely devote myself to practicing and live up to the expectations of the Grand Palace Master."

For the whole of August and September after that, her daily life only consisted of taking care of her daughter and practicing martial arts.

As I said earlier, Chlorophyll cannot do without her own mother, so even if she went to Yaoyue to practice martial arts, she had to take her daughter with her.

Then during martial arts training, I handed it over to Yaoyue to hold her.

Yaoyue is not very good at holding children, she was always too nervous to move at first, but after being tossed by Chlorophyll's sudden crying for a few times, she also developed the ability to coax children.

While Lu Jinglu practiced her sword, she caught a glimpse of her holding her daughter with a gentle look on her face, and she couldn't even believe that the girl in front of her who was exuding maternal brilliance was the Grand Mistress of Yihua Palace.

It seems that the plots of the novel may not all come true, Lu Jinglu thought, if Duan Yanqing can meet the nobleman Black Pearl, overcome difficulties and obstacles and go back to be the emperor to avoid the tragic fate of the original work, then maybe the Palace Master Yihua can also meet the nobleman Heizhu. Before going to Jiang Feng, he first became a normal person with emotions, not the female devil in the original work.

Lu Jinglu sincerely hoped so.

At the same time, she also remembered the reason why she insisted on leaving South China Sea.

I don't know if Ye Gucheng listened to what she warned him in the letter?If he really reduced his contact with King Nan because of this, and didn't participate in the rebellion, then...forget it, then she would have no face to go back to him.

In the final analysis, in the first six months of traveling, without him, her situation would only be [-] times more miserable than it is now.

"Why don't you come over after training?" Yaoyue couldn't help asking when she saw that she was standing still after putting away the sword.

Only then did Lu Jinglu come back to her senses, and walked towards her, taking the daughter in her arms by the way.

The child who is only over three months old can neither walk nor speak, and can only lie in the arms of the adults and look around, but Lu Jinglu always feels that she can already recognize herself, because the recent For a few days, every time she was brought back from Yaoyue's hands, she would turn her head and start laughing.

"Susu really clings to you." Yaoyue said the same thing, "I'm happy when I'm in your arms."

"It's worth my hard work to give birth to her." Lu Jinglu was very emotional, "Finally, I still know how to get close to me."

Yaoyue: "When she gets older, I can teach her Mingyu Gong."

There is an age limit for starting to practice this skill, so Lu Jinglu couldn't learn it, and Yaoyue has always been very regretful.

Lu Jinglu has been in close contact with her for so long, and he has understood her character. Hearing her say this, I know that she definitely really thinks so.

But it was also because she was sincere that Lu Jinglu couldn't laugh or cry: "Susu is only so young, so you started planning to teach her martial arts?"

Yaoyue nodded solemnly: "She and A Fei should both be suitable for learning martial arts."

Lu Jinglu: "..." Ah Fei is suitable, she believes it.

"But I remember Lian Xing said that when your master founded Yihua Palace, he once said that Mingyu Gong must not be spread outside." Lu Jinglu said.

"You two are not outsiders." Yaoyue said without hesitation, "And sooner or later I will formally accept an apprentice."

Lu Jinglu said again: "..."

So in this way, if nothing unexpected happens, her daughter will inherit the Xiuyu Valley Yihua Palace in the future?

Thinking of this, Lu Jinglu was actually led by Yaoyue to look forward to the future.

A few days later, she also had a dream. She dreamed that her daughter had grown up and really inherited the Yihua Palace, and became the most feared overlord in the world. Only when she was in front of her, she was always clingy change.

Because of this dream, she was in a very good mood for several days afterwards.

If you are in a good mood and concentrate, then your sword practice will go more smoothly.

After practicing the prescribed number of times that day, Yaoyue also specially praised her, saying that she has made great progress.

Lu Jinglu said happily: "Really? Thanks to you for teaching me."

"Take a break." Yaoyue said, "After half an hour, play a game with me."

"With...who?" The smile froze on his face.

"Follow me." Yaoyue repeated without changing his expression, "Practice alone is useless, you have to fight against others to know where your weaknesses are, otherwise in the future when life and death are at stake, any experienced Warriors can beat you."

Although the reasoning is the same, I'm really afraid to fight you when I come up, Lu Jinglu thought.

However, I am afraid that I will also fight, after all, Yaoyue has always been a man of one word, and Lu Jinglu does not want to rack his brains to coax her again.

So after resting for half an hour, she handed her daughter to Yaoyue's personal maid, and after a few simple instructions, she picked up the sword again and stood opposite Yaoyue.

Yaoyue could probably see that she was nervous, and before making a move, she specially comforted her: "It's okay, I won't use all my strength."

Lu Jinglu: "..." If you use all your strength, then next year today will be my memorial day!

She took a deep breath and made mental preparations for a long time. After finishing, she finally raised her sword, silently recited the sword formula she had learned, and took the lead in attacking Yaoyue.

Yaoyue didn't use a sword, nor did she use a flower to catch a jade, but simply used her body to deal with the moves that evaded her.

But even so, it was enough for Lu Jinglu to be in a hurry.

Several times, after she made a move and was blocked by Yaoyue effortlessly, she forgot to continue, or Yaoyue reminded her: "What's next?"

Lu Jinglu gritted her teeth and tried her best to continue to make moves, but her rhythm became more and more chaotic as she got to the back, so that when she made the last move, her posture of holding the sword was not standard at all.

Yaoyue was not dissatisfied, but said sharply: "Come again."

Fighting against people can't be like practicing by yourself, you can follow the steps step by step, one move after another, when you come to the second time, Yaoyue obviously speeds up, forcing her to have no time to think, what is the next move?

She could only leave it to her body to react, to reflect which move she should use at this time, so as not to be swept away by Yaoyue's palm, and then fall completely to the ground, unable to hold the sword anymore.

It's strange to say, obviously with the speed up, she didn't have time to think so much, but Ye Gucheng's voice appeared in her mind again.

She remembered that when he first learned how to swing a sword, he taught her how to swing the sword, and corrected her substandard posture, leaned over and told her in her ear: "When you can keep the sword in your hand at all times, you won't You can only be considered a swordsman if you are knocked out of your hands."

Lu Jinglu didn't know how far she was from this standard, but she knew that now that she finally had the chance to continue her studies and increase her life-saving skills, she must do her best.

She and Yaoyue fought for more than half an hour before it ended.

When she stopped, she was already sweating profusely, she was almost exhausted, and when she raised her eyes to look at Yaoyue, there was almost no difference from before she made the move.

Lu Jinglu completely felt the gap between them, panting: "You are really amazing..."

Yaoyue pursed her lips and said, "You are not bad, you can last so long."

Lu Jinglu actually didn't know how long she lasted, but she couldn't help but ask, "How long have we been fighting?"

Yaoyue said: "A quarter of an hour is an hour away."

This answer made Lu Jinglu dazed for a while, and after the daze passed, she couldn't help being proud of herself, and said: "Then I will try to last for an hour next time!"

Just as Yaoyue was about to say yes, she suddenly heard a rush of footsteps coming from outside the forest, she couldn't help but looked in that direction, and then asked directly without waiting for the person running over to pass through the forest : "What happened? In such a hurry?"

Most of the maids in Yihua Palace know a little bit of kung fu, and some of them with high status are even allowed to learn Yihua Jieyu. Naturally, they heard her words and immediately answered loudly.

"I'm reporting to Palace Master, a man came from outside the valley and said he was looking for someone."

Yaoyue: "Looking for someone? Who are you looking for?"

The rumored court lady hesitated: "His...his wife."

While speaking, the court lady trotted through the forest and stood still in front of Yaoyue.

And just as she stood still, her eyes also glanced towards Lu Jinglu's direction.

Lu Jinglu, who didn't even have time to wipe off her sweat: "..." Could it be what she thought?

"Did he say what his name is?" Yaoyue asked again when her heart was fluttering.

"I didn't say what it was called." The maid paused, "but he said his surname was Ye."

Lu Jinglu really wanted to faint on the spot, really?

Who will tell her how Ye Gucheng knew she was here? !

Seeing her face turned pale and red, and red and white again, Yaoyue also guessed that she didn't want to see Ye Gucheng any more, and said directly: "I'll meet him when I go out, don't worry, I will let him go."

Lu Jinglu: "...how are you going to tell him?"

Yaoyue took it for granted: "Why did you say that? Wouldn't it be better to just hit him?"

This is how Palace Mistress Yihua behaves. If she can do it directly, she will not say much. Anyway, there are not many people who can beat her in this arena.

After Lu Jinglu understood what she meant, she almost fell to the ground with a limp leg. Fortunately, she used the hilt of her sword to support her at the critical moment.

"No, no, don't." She said to Yaoyue, "I'd better go see him myself."

Yaoyue: "Then I will accompany you." In case he takes you away.

Lu Jinglu knew that she meant well, and nodded in response: "...that's fine."

On the way the two of them headed towards the valley entrance, Lu Jinglu felt for the first time that Xiuyu Valley was too small. From the innermost to the outermost, it was only such a small distance that they had already reached the valley entrance. It was still a mess, and I didn't know what to say to Ye Gucheng after seeing him.

Yaoyue mentioned it again: "You don't want to see him so much, or forget it."

Lu Jinglu: "...It's not that I don't want to see him." I was afraid and ashamed to see him.

But it's all here, and it would be a bit embarrassing to run away again.

Lu Jinglu took a deep breath, quickened his pace and continued to walk outside.

The moment she walked out of the Embroidered Jade Valley, her heart was beating to the extreme. When she looked up and saw Ye Gucheng standing a foot away from her, she instinctively held her breath.

At the same time, the first thought that popped into her mind was that he had lost weight.

She also lost a lot of weight, tiredness appeared between her brows, and the white clothes that were always spotless were also stained with dust.

This appearance, which was three times more embarrassing than in her impression, made her nose sore.

"You... How did you come here?" It took a long time for her to hear herself asking him.

"Someone told me you were here, so I came." He answered quickly, but his tone was cautious, as if he was worried that if he got a little serious, he would scare her away.

Lu Jinglu originally wanted to ask him who told him, but when the words came to his lips, he felt that he already knew about it, so what's the point of knowing it from where?

Compared to this, it is better to ask him what he wants to do this trip.

If she is angry and wants to settle accounts with her, then she must admit it.

Thinking of this, she lowered her eyes subconsciously, and said: "I left without saying goodbye, I was sorry for you."

Ye Gucheng said that you said this in the letter, so there is no need to say it again.

"I didn't come here to listen to what you said, nor did I want to force you to go back with me." Speaking of this, he suddenly paused, "I just want to see you."

The author has something to say: Xiang Shuai: Let me teach you another trick, you can say what you think, tell all the tm, don’t hold back
