The Three-Life Stone

After everyone left, Nangong Yu sat on the stool and looked at the tattered books for a long time.

These things look quite old. Qin Yunhuai never told me that this thing existed. Today, he took it out and gave it to Bei Mingmo in front of me, and did not take it back. Should I see it?

After thinking it over again and again, Nangong Yu felt that he was the Palace Master of Nanxing Kingdom after all, so it was nothing to know these things, so Qin Yunhuai did not hide it and took them out directly today.

Hundreds of years ago, during the Lantern Festival, the place was bustling with people. The driver of Prince An's carriage and the guards surrounding the carriage were shouting to "make way" along the way. However, a light blue figure in front of them did not move. When the carriage approached, the figure stood alone without moving at all, which seemed a bit abrupt.

"Who in front dares to stop Prince An's carriage?"

The guard drew his sword and shouted, and there was nothing special about the woman's scent, so he wanted to scare her away with his momentum.

The thin figure ignored him and took off his veil. The loosely tied white gauze fell from his eyes in the wind. His bright eyes sparkled as he looked at the curtain of the carriage, as if he wanted to look at the prince through the curtain.

Seeing that the other party was so bold, the guard put the sword directly against the woman's neck. The woman did not retreat or give in, and let the cold sword rest on her shoulder.

Nangong Yu thought that this person had some grievance that needed to be appealed, so he was determined to stop him despite the risk of being disrespectful.

"Jingzhe, retreat."

A steady and powerful voice came from behind the curtain. As the sword was sheathed, the green figure rushed into the car.

"Your Majesty!"

The guards drew their swords and pointed them at the carriage, but Nangong Yu stopped them immediately. He grabbed the woman's neck with one hand, and a mark soon appeared on her slender neck. If he used a little more force, the woman would die!

Why didn't she struggle?

Why did she keep looking at herself?

Her eyes were very clean, not tainted by the world, and like autumn water. Except for a slight frown due to pain, these eyes just looked at him calmly.

"I will not kill innocent people, but you seem to be taking it too far."

Nangong Yu tried his best not to be affected by the other party's emotions. He stared at Luo Xing fiercely. He didn't know if the other party was frightened by his appearance. Dark springs surged in his starry eyes. He was soft-hearted for the woman who could be strangled to death with a little force. If the other party really wanted to say something, he could listen first and then decide.

Luo Xing's tears were not because of the pain, but because she was too familiar with that voice. She had dreamt of it so many times, and the nightmare would disappear just like that when she heard that voice.

"Please, accept me. I am willing to go through fire and water for you and work like a slave for you."

"A completely unknown madman who looks like an assassin rushes in and asks me to work like a slave for him?"

Nangong Yu originally thought that this powerless woman could tell some tragic story, but he still underestimated this crazy woman.

Nangong Yu really didn't like this pair of eyes looking at him like this. He could see something through the eyes of many people, shyness, calculation, suspicion, sadness, disappointment... Only this pair of eyes was very clear, which made the darkness in his heart flash with a ray of light, but the woman's behavior was even more incredible.

"Whether Your Majesty believes it or not, what I said is true. Your Majesty can investigate at any time. I only ask Your Majesty to take me in."

In the narrow space, Luo Xing kowtowed heavily, and the guards outside the car were also confused by this behavior.

When the maid who followed Luo Xing out saw the guard holding a knife to Luo Xing's neck, she hurried back.

"Not only is this girl so shameless as to take off her veil in public, but she is also trying to stop the palace's carriage?" Master Luo asked in disbelief as he listened to the servant's breathless report.

The maidservant gasped and replied, "Yes... yes, Master... what should we do?"

"Don't worry. There are very few people in this city who know Luo Xing's true identity. Let's see what the palace says later."

If you die and everything is over, it will be the end of it. You have offended the prince and you deserve to die. If you don't die, then you can say that you grew up in the countryside with your mother and don't know etiquette. It won't be too late to go to the palace to apologize.

Nangong Yu couldn't figure out Luo Xing's thoughts for a moment, so he didn't make things difficult for him. Luo Xing just sat in the carriage and followed the team all the way to the palace gate, and then they returned to the palace together from the palace gate.

Nangong Yu didn't really plan to keep such a person of unknown origin around him, so he randomly arranged a room for him and sent someone to watch him for twelve hours.

At the same time, he checked the Luo family and knew that this person was the eldest daughter of the Luo family. She had lived in the mountains for more than ten years. Her mother passed away two years ago. She has been back for more than half a year. What is she planning now?

The Luo family would not send someone to him in such a bold way. Luo Xing was a girl who had hardly left the courtyard since she came from the mountains. It could only be someone who ordered her to stop in front of his carriage so accurately? Who could it be?

Even if a young lady who has just come of age has never received an education, does it mean that she has no knowledge of etiquette and morality and would go home with another man?

Since nothing else could be found, Nangong Yu asked someone to call Luo Xing to him and asked directly, "It has been three days since you came to the palace. You might as well state your purpose directly. If I think it is okay, I might be able to help Miss Luo. If Miss Luo doesn't appreciate it, don't blame me for bullying a woman."

"Your Majesty, I have said that I will leave my life to Your Majesty. I only hope that Your Majesty can let me settle down and have nothing to do with the Luo family anymore."

"If I remember correctly, Miss Luo is the legitimate daughter of my family. Are you willing to come to my palace to be a slave?"

"I am willing to follow the prince and get rid of the Luo family."

"From a moral and logical point of view, you are Luo Huai's daughter. If they want you, why should I bother to give up the Luo family for a maid?"

"If I use you well, it can bring temporary peace, but if I use you badly, it will lead to disaster. I, Luo Xing, am different. I am different from those two-faced people in Luo Mansion. I can endure hardships and am willing to learn. How much I can play depends on you, my lord."

"If what I said is correct, you are also from the Luo family, right?"

"The prince gave me this name."

Nangong Yu smiled, and that smile was like a spring breeze, bringing joy to people's hearts, and it was also engraved in Luo Xing's heart.

It turns out that he looks so elegant and has such a beautiful smile. His playful little canine teeth add a different charm to his usually steady appearance. He has a fair face, sword-like eyebrows, bright eyes, a straight nose and thin lips.

Luo Xing cried again. No one would understand how important her survival and his salvation were to her.

Nangong Yu naturally didn't understand either. He didn't understand why this person chose him, nor did he understand what deep hatred she had with the Luo family that could lead to this extent. He also didn't understand why this woman was crying out of the blue.
