Except for Baiyun and Ziwu, Su Runrun did not tell anyone else that she was about to leave the capital.

On the day of leaving Beijing, Ziwu and Baiyun said goodbye to her at the city gate.

Bai Yun held Su Ruanruan's hand tightly and asked reluctantly, "Where are you going? How bored I will be without you..."

Su Ruanruan gently pinched her round and cute cheeks and comforted her softly, "Little fool, how can you feel bored? Didn't you just make two good sisters? Even if I'm not here, there will be someone to play and have fun with you."

Bai Yun burst into laughter after hearing this and patted his chest, "That's right! Hehehe, then you must come back soon. When you come back, we can still play happily together like before. I can also take you to play with them."

Su Ruanruan couldn't help but reach out and hug her, "Bai Yun, I'm very happy to meet you."

At this time, Zi Wu, who had been silent on the side, begged, "Master, please let me go with you."

Even though Su Ruanruan did not state the purpose of this trip, Ziwu was so smart that she naturally knew what she was going to do.

During this period of time, the master could not sleep at night and often sat alone in the courtyard all night long, and all these scenes were seen by the purple mist.

In the past, Prince Chu's personal bodyguards often accompanied her, but now, she is left alone.

An inexplicable uneasiness surged in her heart, surging like a tide, making her feel frightened. She felt that her master was like a withering flower, and her once bright eyes gradually lost their luster and became dull.

Su Ruanruan smiled slightly, shook her head and refused, "No, I have just finished cleaning up the shops that the emperor rewarded me, and there are still many things to deal with. If you leave with me, won't there be no one to look after this place?"

"But..." Zi Wu wanted to continue fighting for it, but was interrupted by Su Ruanruan raising her hand.

Su Ruanruan reached out and touched the top of Ziwu's head, and said earnestly, "Okay, don't worry, I do have important things to do this time. You just stay here and take care of everything for me."

Zi Wu bowed her head respectfully and nodded softly, "Okay. Please take good care of yourself while you are away. I will wait here for your return." After saying this, her eyes were full of attachment and reluctance.

Su Ruanruan teased Bairuan for a while before reluctantly handing it to Ziwu, "Please take good care of it for me."

The round, soft, obsidian eyes were now covered by a thin layer of mist, appearing somewhat hazy and blurred.

As if it had sensed the impending separation, its eyes remained fixed on her, unwilling to look away for even a moment.

Su Ruanruan got on the carriage lightly, lifted the curtain with her hand, and cast her eyes on the figure in the distance. She said softly to Ziwu, "In fact, your indenture has long been destroyed by me. If you have someone you like, you might as well be brave, and don't be like me, who regretted it after losing him."

At this moment, Zi Wu's eyes were filled with tears, and she said with a choked voice, "Master, I know. You must return safely!"

Su Ruanruan looked back at the capital city behind her again, a trace of melancholy welling up in her heart. Goodbye.

The carriage began to move slowly forward and drove out of the city gate, while Huo Yan rode the fierce wind and sped past.

Lie Feng seemed to have noticed something, stopped, and emitted a low neigh from his nose. Huo Yan looked around, his eyes fell on the carriage that was getting farther and farther away, but in the blink of an eye, the carriage had gone far away.

"Why? That little mare is long gone! You should forget about her."

He patted the horse's back gently, and the originally restless strong wind stopped for a moment, and then moved its feet reluctantly.

However, after walking for a while, Huo Yan began to feel inexplicably anxious and bored, which made him flustered and uneasy.

Suddenly, he grabbed the reins tightly, pulled hard, turned the horse's head, and looked straight at the carriage that had long gone away.

An indescribable feeling of loss surged in his heart. He felt as if something extremely precious was moving away from him, and the speed was so fast that he was almost unable to catch up.

Seeing that the carriage was about to disappear from sight, Huo Yan became extremely anxious. He quickly clamped his legs around the horse's belly, waved the whip, and drove Liefeng to gallop again.

Su Ruanruan sat quietly in the carriage, staring down at the acacia bean bracelet that Mu Bai gave her.

Recalling the scene on the eve of their separation, Mu Bai carefully put the bracelet on her slender wrist, his eyes full of affection, and whispered, "I only hope that Ruanruan will be healthy year after year, and spring grass will grow every year, and that you will have a smooth life and get what you want."

However, things are unpredictable, and now things have changed. The good old days are gone forever. The vows we made have also become a passing cloud, drifting away with the wind.

The carriage suddenly stopped, and the unprepared Su Ruanruan leaned forward suddenly, almost falling off the soft cushion.

However, at this moment, the bracelet on her hand accidentally hit the wall of the car, and the red beans originally strung on the bracelet poured down like a waterfall and scattered everywhere in the car.

Su Ruanruan was stunned for a moment, then quickly squatted down and anxiously picked up the red beans on the ground.

These red beans are of great significance to her. They are the last gift Mu Bai left for her. How could they be easily damaged now?

When she finally picked up all the acacia beans scattered in the carriage, she was surprised to find that one was missing.

She was extremely anxious and was about to look around when her eyes suddenly met that of a person who had lifted the car curtain and was staring at her silently.

The man opened his palm, and a bright and juicy acacia bean was lying in his palm.

“Give it back to me!” Su Ruanruan stretched out her hand without hesitation, trying to take back the missing acacia bean.

Huo Yan also never expected that he would be able to stop Su Ruanruan's carriage by chance. He looked at the stubborn woman in front of him and asked, "Where are you going?"

"I can travel freely anywhere in the world." Su Ruanruan replied firmly, and stretched out her right hand to Huo Yan again, wanting to take back her own acacia beans.

Unexpectedly, Huo Yan slightly turned sideways and avoided Su Ruanruan's hand. He lowered his head and stared at the acacia bean in his palm. He naturally knew who made it and how precious it was to Su Ruanruan.

Mu Bai resolutely left her, but she thought about him day and night and could not forget him.

And what about her feelings towards him? In her heart, there was no place for him at all. She even cruelly killed their child with her own hands.

Whenever he thought of this, Huo Yan's heart felt as if it was being stabbed by thousands of sharp blades at the same time, causing unbearable pain.

If that child were still alive, how could they have ended up in this situation.

"Su Ruanruan, you just can't forget him? We also had a good time, and you didn't have any attachment to me, but what about our child? Isn't he innocent?"

As he became more and more furious, the red beans in his hand, which symbolized lovesickness, turned into powder in an instant.

"No!" Su Runrun's breathing suddenly stagnated, and he watched helplessly as a gust of wind blew away the powder in his hand, and it disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Su Ruanruan's eyelids slowly drooped, and her curled eyelashes trembled slightly.

He sat back like a puppet without a soul. He didn't cry or curse. He just sat there quietly with a dead silence in his eyes.

After a long time, she raised her head, looked at Huo Yan calmly, and said slowly, "No children, we have never had children."

Huo Yan's face was filled with shock, his voice full of disbelief, "How could it be..."

Su Ruanruan smiled bitterly, "I did have a child, but unfortunately... it wasn't your child."

"You are curious about the past month that I have been missing. I will satisfy your curiosity today."

Memories of the past flooded into her mind like a tide. Su Runrun uncovered the bloody scar with her own hands and slowly recounted the painful experience again.

"At first I didn't know who was behind all this, until Chu Ran sent someone to grab me on the edge of a cliff, and then I realized that he was the one who had done it."

Su Ruanruan closed her eyes tightly, her voice trembling, "He told me that the child's biological father is a dirty beggar..." After that, she laughed softly, but tears flashed in the corners of her eyes, "Are you surprised? Are you surprised?"

"Is General Huo satisfied with this answer?"

Huo Yan seemed to be under a spell and stood there in a daze, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.

He never expected...

"Ruanruan..." He whispered Su Ruanruan's name softly.

Su Ruanruan pushed him away with force and jumped off the carriage, but Huo Yan hugged her tightly. They jumped onto Liefeng's horse together and galloped away like the wind.

The strong wind stopped only when it reached a quiet and deserted river.

Huo Yan hugged her tightly from behind, buried his head deep in her shoulders, and said in a choked voice, "Ruanruan, let's start over, okay?"

Su Ruanruan sneered, "Huo Yan, do you think your love is as deep as the sea? If I start over with you, where will Fu Xinrou be?"

"You should understand that I have never had true feelings for you. I just wanted to rely on your status for protection..."

"From the moment you used the death-free gold medal to save Fu Hengfeng, there is no possibility for us to be together anymore. It's even difficult for us to be friends."

"Huo Yan, let me go."

……

On a night of thunder and lightning, Huo Yan was reading in his study. He had not turned a page for an incense stick of time when he was suddenly startled by a deafening thunder.

He grabbed his raincoat and hurried out the door.

Fu Xinrou stood in the corridor, silently watching his back gradually going away.

The maid asked in confusion, "Miss, it's so late, where is the general going? The chicken soup you stewed..."

An indescribable loneliness appeared on Fu Xinrou's face, and she said softly, "I don't know."

The maidservant couldn't help but get anxious for her, "Miss, you and the general have been married for such a long time, but you haven't consummated your marriage yet. I am really worried about you."

Fu Xinrou's face turned even paler, like paper. She was sad, "Although there were reasons for what happened, I failed Brother Huo Yan in the end. I know in my heart that Brother Huo Yan likes Miss Su now, and he only married me out of necessity."

"I don't know what my father and brother said to Brother Huo Yan in prison. He actually agreed to marry me..."

"This position... should have belonged to Miss Su."

The maid hurriedly said, "Miss, please don't let your imagination run wild. The general and you are childhood sweethearts. If the general had no feelings for you, how could he marry you with such a beautiful wedding? You and the general still have a long time to live together."

Huo Yan suddenly remembered that Su Runruan was afraid of thunder and lightning, and only after he stepped out of the mansion did he remember that Su Runruan had left the capital.

Half a month has passed since I last watched her go away.

However, Huo Yan didn't know that the farewell was actually their last.

When he returned home, he received news that the exiled Fu Hengfeng had been assassinated.

The death was inexplicable and horrific, and no one knew who committed the murder.

Huo Yan couldn't help but think of Su Ruanruan, could it be her?
