Only Chu You was left standing on the last step, watching Chu Yi’s slender figure disappear from the curtain in front.
Only when his personal eunuch called him “Your Highness” did Chu You return to his senses. He turned around and continued walking in the direction of the palace door, taking big steps forward.
Chu You didn’t say a word. His mind was filled with what Chu Yi had just said. He flipped and turned, thinking carefully and chewing.
The more he thought about it, the more shocked he became. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Chu Yi’s every word just now had a deeper meaning.
“Rumble!”
A soul-stirring spring thunder suddenly sounded in the sky.
A bolt of lightning suddenly struck down from the sky. For a moment, the surroundings were illuminated, and it also cast a treacherous shadow on Chu You’s handsome and cold face, making his expression abnormally cold.
The light brought by the lightning flashed, and the surroundings immediately darkened again. It was dark.
Chu You couldn’t help but think of Tailing City from nine years ago. Memories that had been sealed for a long time appeared in his mind.
When the city was broken into, the dark State of Yue army surged into the city like a tide.
The soldiers of the Great Jin Dynasty in the city had no leader. They were suppressed by the aura of the enemy and retreated step by step. The State of Yue army entered the city to burn, kill, and plunder, committing all kinds of evil.
Countless commoners also died in this battle. In front of the wolf-like State of Yue army, the commoners became hunted lambs. They could only constantly escape, wail, and beg for mercy…
But they still couldn’t avoid death.
Some had their arms, heads, and calves cut off. Some had their heads smashed beyond recognition, and red and white bodily fluids stuck to the city wall. Some had their bodies pierced by a saber…
Almost all the people he knew in Tailing City were dead…
Another deafening blast of spring thunder exploded in his ears, waking Chu You up.
Chu You continued walking forward and went out of the door without stopping. He got on the horse.
When the man and horse galloped out, there was a dripping sound on the ground. Spring rain fell from the sky, and the rain became heavier and heavier.
Pa.s.sers-by ran around. Soon, there were no longer any pedestrians on the street.
“Hua hua hua…”
The heavy rain poured down, forming a dense rain curtain.
Chu You didn’t mind at all. He let the rain drench his clothes and hair. The rain landed on his eyelashes, and his vision was blurry.
Chu You galloped on his horse without stopping. Wherever the hooves pa.s.sed, water splashed.
After an incense’s time, he returned to his manor. The gatekeeper was already looking up and shouting, “His Highness is back, His Highness is back!”
Chu You, who was drenched, turned a deaf ear and saw a beautiful figure walking out of the corner door at a glance.
Li Yunrong held the oil-paper umbrella and stood in the rain, smiling at him.
The big red oil paper umbrella made her face seem to be dyed red. Her face was like the morning sun, and her small chin was gentle and elegant, outlining the beautiful arc of a jade statue.
Just looking at her like this, Chu You’s heart felt soft and sweet.
At this moment, the first encounter between him and her nine years ago in Yangzhou appeared in his mind.
It was also such a drizzling spring day.
At that time, she was also holding an umbrella in her hand, and he was also riding a horse. She was shocked by the horse, and the umbrella fell from her hand. He was the one who grabbed the umbrella for her.
When she was young, she was like a delicate water lotus, making people feel pity for her.
“Rong’er.” Chu You smiled brightly, got off the horse, and walked quickly towards her in the heavy rain.
Along the way, his body was long drenched. His hair and clothes were wet, and a few strands of hair stuck to his cheek, making him look a little miserable.
But when he looked at her, his eyes were surprisingly bright and dazzling, as if she was the only one in his eyes..
