Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After Long Yin led his men and left the temporary imperial residence at White Eagle Mountain, he quickened their pace as he planned to rush toward the frontier of Great Shang.
The convoy left in the morning and only stopped to rest for a while during the evening.
After Qi Heng finished drinking his water, he saw Long Yin standing next to his horse, looking somewhere in the distance.
Qi Heng followed the direction of Long Yin’s gaze and was not surprised to see that he was looking toward White Eagle Mountain.
He held a waterskin in his hand and walked toward Long Yin. “Have some water, Your Highness.”
Long Yin turned his gaze away and took the waterskin with a frown.
“Are you missing Lady Hexin, Your Highness?” Qi Heng could not help asking when he saw Long Yin looking unhappy.
He had been by His Highness’s side since he was young. Although he was known as Long Yin’s study companion, he more actually more like Long Yin’s follower and friend, and he knew His Highness’s character very well.
Long Yin was a calm and disciplined man who rarely allowed his emotions to take control of him.
However, he had allowed his feelings to control his actions today when he received news about Lu Xue. There was still a troubled look on his face now. It seemed like he was at a crossroads about something.
This was quite unlike His Highness’s usual self.
Qi Heng could understand how His Highness was worried about Lu Xue. They were cousins who grew up together, after all. Moreover, His Highness used to like Lu Xue. It was only normal that he would be worried when he heard something had happened to her. However, why did he look troubled in addition to worried? It looked like he was unable to make a decision about something.
That was why Qi Heng had asked the question.
Long Yin passed the waterskin back to him and said nothing.
Qi Heng was about to leave when he saw this, but then, he heard Long Yin say,
“Heng, I really have no idea what to do now.”
Those words made Qi Heng stop in his steps. He asked, “What exactly is bothering you, Your Highness?”
Long Yin frowned and said, “When you brought me the news this morning,
Hexin asked me a question, but when I heard the news about Lu Xue’s disappearance, I forgot all about it.”
“What was the question?” Qi Heng was quite curious.
“She asked me if I liked her,” Long Yin replied softly. There was a flash of regret in Long Yin’s deep, dark eyes.
Why did he forget about this then?
Hexin clearly liked him, but he had no idea what was holding her back. She had been passive during the entire time he was chasing after her, and she even clearly rejected him at one point. However, she has asked such a question today. This was enough to prove that she might have changed her mind and was considering accepting him.
However, he did not immediately reply to her at this crucial moment. Instead, he had run off.
What would she think of him?
This was a disappointing setback for him despite just making some progress.
The more he thought about it, the more he regretted it.
It bothered him so much that he had even forgotten about what happened to Lu Xue.
While they were rushing on the road, his mind was mostly occupied with what happened between him and Hexin. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸𝘦𝑏𝑛𝑜𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸𝑜𝘮
Qi Heng was a little astonished to hear his words. “How could Your Highness forget about something so important?”
He had witnessed His Highness chasing fervently after Lady Hexin during this time. It was clear that he liked her a lot. Otherwise, someone like His Highness would never have so much patience to spare on just one girl.
All his talk about admiring the scenic view at White Eagle Mountain was just an excuse for him to get close to Lady Hexin.
“I was anxious when I find out about Lu Xue being missing, which was why I had forgotten about this.” Long Yin frowned.
Qi Heng said, “Your Highness, Would it be appropriate for me to say something?”
“Go on,” Long Yin said in a low voice.
Qi Heng coughed gently and said, “I think that His Majesty and Her Highness could arrange for someone to deal with Lu Xue’s disappearance. Besides, aren’t there also people from the Grand Duke Mansion? The most important person in all this would be General Wanyan.. No matter what, I don’t think there is really a place for Your Highness to worry about this, is there?”
