“Okay.” My eyes widened in an instant – I didn’t expect it to be this easy! “Could you say that again?”
“Okay.” Oh my God, Shu Yang is so easy to get along with! But I couldn’t let her sacrifice her future for my selfish desires. “What about your duties?” Shu Yang smiled reassuringly at me, “No worries, others will handle them.” “Wow, Xiao Yang, you’re so good!” Seizing the opportunity, I kissed her again, haha, it’s my luck to kiss someone so beautiful!
We hurriedly packed our bags when Lan grabbed us by the foot, “Your Majesty, where are you going with this wild girl?” I was angry, “Don’t call me a wild girl!” He glared at me, “Shut up!” I immediately fell silent.
Shu Yang then said, “Lan, I’m going to Jianghu with Xiao Han. Please have the empress dowager and court ministers handle state affairs for now.” Lan became stern: “Abandoning state affairs for a woman?!”
I felt selfish, not wanting to drag Shu Yang down. “Little Yang, you should stay. I can go alone.” But Shu Yang held my hand, “Xiao Han, let’s go. Lan, I’m sorry, but I can’t do otherwise. I care more about Xiao Han.” Lan stood frozen, and when I met his cold eyes, I felt blamed for my selfishness.
Without Shu Yang, I’d feel like an unwanted child, recalling my orphan days. I buried my face in Shu Yang’s warm back, inhaling her herbal scent. The March wind swept through my hair, biting like Lan, reproaching me.
I softly asked, “Yang, where is Jianghu?”
“Wherever there are people, there are conflicts. Wherever there are conflicts, there is Jianghu…” Shu Yang answered.
I smiled, a classic response that reminded me of wuxia novels. However, saying this seems to break the romantic atmosphere I had carefully built.
I wondered what kind of scenery Jianghu would be and what experiences awaited me there. Could I untangle my complicated feelings? Shang, Yu Mo, where are you now? Even if you’re hunting me, I still miss you. When my sins are pardoned, I hope we can live together again.
