Chapter 381
As she spoke, she took the bun from Lu Tingyu and took a big bite. Her bright eyes were full of satisfaction. "Beef stuffing, I like it!"
Lu Tingyu apologized, "Sorry, there are too many people buying soy milk."
Mo Wansheng pulled out his hand and waved at Lu Tingyu, "It's okay, I'm very happy that you can bring me breakfast!"
After saying that, she hummed a little tune and walked towards the direction of Shenyu Mountain.
The girl's voice was crisp and ethereal, like a lark flying freely in the mountains, which made people smile involuntarily.
Lu Tingyu raised his eyebrows and raised his feet to keep up with Mo Wansheng's steps.
Because of Lu Tingyu's presence, the two of them easily caught three July butterflies this time. Mo Wansheng happily collected the phosphorus powder on the butterfly wings into a small porcelain bottle, and then put it in his arms like a treasure.
With these phosphorus powders, Fusang Gu should be able to recover completely.
In the past, when Fu Zhi left Nanjiang, both she and Fusang Gu were seriously injured. Later, in order to recover from the injuries of Fusang Gu, Fu Zhi first fed it with her own blood essence, and then traveled to many places, which made its injuries slightly better.
However, before Fusang Gu's injuries were completely healed, Fu Zhi lost too much blood essence when giving birth to Mo Wansheng, which led to dystocia. Although both mother and daughter survived, Fu Zhi's body was seriously damaged and she died a few years later.
The Gu master died and the injuries could not be cured. Fusang Gu fell into a deep sleep until it was accidentally awakened by Mo Wansheng ten years later.
Therefore, Mo Wansheng began Fu Zhi's unfinished mission and tried his best to heal Fusang Gu's injuries. It has been three years since then.
The phosphorus powder on the wings of the July Butterfly is the last poison to cure Fusang Gu.
Lu Tingyu skillfully released the last July butterfly in the butterfly net, and then looked at Mo Wansheng with curiosity, "I haven't asked yet, what do you collect these phosphorus powders for?"
After several times of getting along, Lu Tingyu can see that Mo Wansheng is a kind-hearted girl, and collecting poisons is obviously not suitable for her.
Mo Wansheng shook his head at him firmly, "This is a secret, I can't tell you, but you just need to know that I won't use it to harm others."
Fusang Gu is the only thought left by Fu Zhi for them, so Mo Wansheng wants to cure it. As for what it does and how much power it can exert, this is not within Mo Wansheng's consideration.
Seeing that Mo Wansheng was unwilling to say more, Lu Tingyu did not force it, "Okay, I believe you."
Although he didn't know what Mo Wansheng's purpose was, Lu Tingyu was willing to believe this girl who was as warm and shining as the little sun.
Hearing this, Mo Wansheng immediately smiled brightly, "I was right, you are a good person."
Lu Tingyu smiled, "You are also a good person."
Mo Wansheng's eyes were bright, "In that case, I will treat you to lunch today, just as the first formal gathering between good people."
Lu Tingyu nodded with a smile on his face, and the sorrow in his eyes dissipated, leaving only joy in his eyes.
At this time, Lu Tingyu had not noticed that every time he was with Mo Wansheng, he would subconsciously forget the pain in the past.
After many days of haze, after the appearance of Mo Wansheng, the innocent little girl, Lu Tingyu finally welcomed his first ray of sunshine.
…
Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, Lu Tingyu had been in Hualing City for three months.
The lotus flowers in Ting Lake have withered, and the chrysanthemums on Chenyu Mountain outside the city have begun to bloom one after another.
In these three months, Mo Wansheng came to see Lu Tingyu almost every day, and the emotions in the little girl's eyes gradually changed from admiration at the beginning to love.
Lu Tingyu saw it clearly, but never exposed it.
Because Lu Tingyu also enjoyed the days when Mo Wansheng was by his side, but he knew in his heart that one day he would leave Hualing and return to Shengjing, so he did not dare to respond to Mo Wansheng's sincere and passionate love, nor did he know how to respond.
On the fifth day of September, autumn had arrived. Even in the south of Da Chu, the night had inexplicably become a little cooler.
Under the dark clouds, a snow-white pigeon flew through the sky and finally landed in front of a window of an inn in the city.
Lu Tingyu opened the window, removed the bamboo tube from the pigeon's feet, and took out the note inside.
When the letter paper was unfolded, three lines of small characters were written on it-
The general has been convinced that the sect has been preparing for a long time and can enter the Jianghu.
The content of the note was clear, and the letter was sent by Tan Ji.
Tan Ji, the leader of the Thousand Poison Sect under the Jing'an Prince, was also the sweetheart of General Qi Lie of Zhenxi.
From an orphan to the general's wife, Tan took more than ten years with the help of Jing'an Prince, but before Tan could do anything, Jing'an Prince was assassinated by Emperor Yonghe.
After Jing'an Prince died, all the forces he cultivated during his lifetime became Lu Tingyu's.
Originally, Lu Tingyu did not want to do anything with these forces at the beginning, but the shadow of his parents' death and his beloved entering the palace always loomed over his head, so in the end Lu Tingyu still couldn't control the heart that had long been blinded by hatred.
He wanted to make Jing'an Prince's Mansion more powerful, wanted Jing'an Prince's Mansion to no longer be slaughtered by the royal family, and wanted to... get the power to control the world that the Lu family already had.
So Lu Tingyu accepted the advice of his subordinates, secretly cultivated the power of the court, developed the Thousand Poison Sect, and gradually turned the contents of the imperial edict left by the first emperor into reality.
Leaving Shengjing and coming to Hualing was also part of the plan. Part of it was to forget the sadness, and the bigger part was to deceive others.
Emperor Yonghe was extremely afraid of the Jing'an Palace. Even after he died, he had many spies watching every move of the Lu family. Therefore, Lu Tingyu had to restrain himself no matter what he did in Shengjing, so today's trip to Hualing was born. .
However, Lu Tingyu never thought that he would meet Mo Wansheng here, that innocent and beautiful girl who treated him sincerely.
Thinking of Mo Wansheng, Lu Tingyu couldn't help but smile.
There is no doubt that Lu Tingyu was also thinking a lot about Mo Wansheng.
Jiang Lingyi has entered the middle palace, and is deeply favored by Chu Nanchen. Now she has given birth to a heir apparent, and her status is stable, and she will only be brilliant in the future.
As early as the day Jiang Lingyi married into the East Palace, it was destined that Lu Tingyu would never be able to be with her again. Staying together for three years could be regarded as the end of their previous love.
Now, his parents have died, and he is the only direct descendant of the Lu family. Marrying a wife and having children to continue the bloodline is his unshirkable responsibility, so he must step out of the past and finish the life that a descendant of a noble family should finish.
When it comes to getting a wife, the first thing Lu Tingyu thinks of is Mo Wansheng.
It would be good if he could spend the rest of his life hand in hand with such a woman... But Mo Wansheng's identity made Lu Tingyu hesitate.
She was the little princess in Hualing City's hands. How could she leave everything behind and return to Shengjing with her? That would be too unfair to her.
After thinking about it, Lu Tingyu, who finally regained sleep, fell into insomnia again.
…
The next day, Lu Tingyu walked out of the room with blue eyes, and saw a familiar figure in the corner of the hall downstairs looking melancholy at the window.
The little girl who once laughed and had no worries now has sorrow?

Lu Tingyu frowned slightly and walked towards Mo Wansheng. He saw a cup of tea on the table that had already cooled down but had not been touched at all.
It seems that she has been here for some time.
"Shengsheng." Lu Tingyu called out. Mo Wansheng was immediately startled and turned around subconsciously. Her eyes were filled with joy the moment she saw Lu Tingyu, "You're here!"
However, after being excited, Mo Wansheng began to feel melancholy again. The two emotions kept changing in his eyes, looking extremely tangled.
Lu Tingyu replaced the cold tea in front of her and poured a cup of hot tea in front of her. "What's wrong? Are you worried?"
Since they met, this is the first time Lu Tingyu has seen Mo Wansheng like this.
Mo Wansheng nodded, but out of the corner of his eye he glanced at the shopkeeper who was busy at the counter, and immediately put back the words that were on his lips.
"How about we go out and talk? The chrysanthemums in the south of the city are blooming. How about we talk while admiring the flowers?"
Lu Tingyu nodded in agreement, but when he stood up, he was a little confused, "Why not go to Shen Yushan?"
The chrysanthemums in Shenyu Mountain bloom better and the environment is quiet, which is obviously more suitable for viewing.
Hearing this, Mo Wansheng pursed her lips, "Because I have something to do later."
Lu Tingyu didn't know what she was going to do next, but he respected her idea.
The two left the inn and walked along the remote streets towards the south of the city.
There was no one around, so Mo Wansheng cautiously inquired: "Brother Tingyu, I think you are not young anymore. After so many years, do you still not have a sweetheart?"
Lu Tingyu glanced at the cautious little girl, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes, "Yes."
The word 'you' instantly shattered Mo Wansheng's expected mood. She was so lost in thought that she didn't even notice the crying tone in her voice: "Who... is that person? Ting Yu Are you from my brother’s hometown?”
Mo Wansheng also wanted to ask, 'Will you get married? ’ But when the words came to my lips, I couldn’t say them out.
The first time she fell in love with someone ended in tragedy. This was undoubtedly a huge blow to Mo Wansheng.
"She is also a very good girl, but it is no longer possible for us."
Under Mo Wansheng's confused gaze, Lu Tingyu added again: "She is married, and now the child is one year old."
Mo Wansheng obviously didn't expect that things would turn out like this. For a moment, he really didn't know how to comfort Lu Tingyu, "Yes... I'm sorry, brother Tingyu, I didn't mean to mention your sadness."
Covering up the pain in his eyes, Lu Tingyu pulled his lips and smiled, "It doesn't matter, it's been a long time since it happened, and it's time to forget it."
This sentence was meant for Mo Wansheng to listen to, but also for myself.
Mo Wansheng nodded and was silent for a while before continuing to test out: "Then will brother Tingyu marry and have children in the future?"
Lu Tingyu responded softly: "Well, my family has only three generations. If I don't marry a wife, I will be completely extinct."
The slightly teasing tone calmed down Mo Wansheng's anxious heart, "Then... what kind of girl do you like?"
The little girl's eyes were full of curiosity and expectation, and a hint of nervousness could still be seen.
Lu Tingyu could tell that if nothing unexpected happened, the little girl's next sentence should reveal her true feelings, but there were some things that he hadn't thought clearly about yet.
After thinking for a while, Lu Tingyu skipped Mo Wansheng's question and talked about his past, "Shengsheng, I don't think I have ever told you my identity. I am from Shengjing and I am the prince of Jing'an Palace. My father, mother and concubine have passed away one after another. After returning, I should inherit the title of prince.
And my wife will go back to Shengjing with me in the future, so Shengsheng, have you really thought it through?"
Lu Tingyu's sudden disclosure made Mo Wansheng panic instantly, "Ah, you are the prince?"
Lu Tingyu's words were very clear. If Mo Wansheng wanted to be with him, she had to leave Hualing City.
Lu Tingyu nodded at the little girl, "Yes."
Mo Wansheng stopped talking.
Lu Tingyu did say before that his hometown was far away from here, but Mo Wansheng always thought he was teasing her, so she never took it seriously. But today, when she heard him say that he was from Shengjing, thousands of miles away, she was a little confused.
Shengjing is so far from Hualing City, what should she do?
Should she continue to like Lu Tingyu?
Mo Wansheng was very entangled, and Lu Tingyu did not interrupt her thinking, letting the little girl struggle in her heart.
As for the matter of marrying a wife, Lu Tingyu had figured it out when he stayed up all night last night: if Mo Wansheng was willing to go back to Shengjing with him, he would treat her well; if she was unwilling, he would not force her, and after returning to Shengjing, he would choose a famous lady to marry, just like his father did.
After experiencing so much, Lu Tingyu has seen through a lot of love.
Since it is something that cannot be forced, let it go.
Because she was worried, Mo Wansheng looked absent-minded throughout the whole process, and Lu Tingyu was not in a hurry, but leisurely admired the flowers, spending this time with Mo Wansheng.
At nearly noon, Mo Wansheng said goodbye to Lu Tingyu.
Lu Tingyu responded on the surface, but turned around and followed Mo Wansheng. He had a hunch that what Mo Wansheng said might not be a good thing.
Lu Tingyu followed Mo Wansheng from the south of the city to the east of the city, and finally stopped in front of a shop called Jiangyue Teahouse.
At the door, Mo Wansheng hesitated for a long time, and finally stepped in.
After entering the door, Mo Wansheng whispered to the shopkeeper and asked a few questions, and then went upstairs.
The more Lu Tingyu looked, the more he felt something was wrong, so he gave the shopkeeper a silver ingot to ask where Mo Wansheng was going, and booked a box next to it, and then went upstairs with a serious face.
Because the shopkeeper just told him that the box that Mo Wansheng asked about was not booked by her, but by a young and handsome young man, who said that he seemed to want to see a girl.
In other words, Mo Wansheng rushed to the south of the city just for the "handsome young man" who booked the box in the shopkeeper's mouth.
Lu Tingyu didn't say anything, but the expression on his face had betrayed him. At this moment, he really wanted to see how handsome the 'handsome young man' mentioned by the shopkeeper was.
There is no doubt that although he said on the surface that Mo Wansheng should consider and decide for herself, Lu Tingyu was still very nervous when the crisis occurred.
After all, he was still afraid of returning to Shengjing, where there was no human touch, alone.
After entering the box, Lu Tingyu leaned against the wall that separated him from the opposite side and listened carefully, trying to hear some movements next door, but the sound insulation of Jiangyue Teahouse was too good. Lu Tingyu listened for a full quarter of an hour and didn't hear a word.
After pursing his lips and looking down for a while, Lu Tingyu finally calmed down. It seemed that his actions today were a bit too absurd?
It was Mo Wansheng's freedom to meet whoever she wanted. It was too ungentlemanly for him to do this.
Thinking of this, Lu Tingyu turned around and walked out of the door, intending to leave. However, as soon as he opened the door of the private room, he saw the door of the private room next door also opened.
Lu Tingyu paused, and just as he was about to step back, he saw Mo Wansheng looking at him, with a surprised face, "Brother Tingyu? Why are you here too?"
