42. Empty Tomb
Guard?1
Shen Ning shook his head." No, it's not a guard."
There were indeed guards protecting her not far away that day, but the person who carried her was not a guard.She clearly remembered the aura on that person or the feeling she had felt before. How could he be a guard?
"That day, there was no doubt that they were guards. Young Master, before he left, he sent people to guard him. The people outside were naturally unable to enter."The wet nurse said.
The granny brought some porridge, but Shen Ning had no appetite at all. That person was so familiar, how could he not be Lian Cheng Ye!She didn't believe it. She pushed aside the granny's obstruction and ran out of the door. She looked around and found that there was only a fallen peach forest. There was no one there.
"I know you hate me, but why don't you let me see you?""Lian Cheng Ye, you said you wouldn't let go of me, you said you would n' t leave me!"
It was as if all of his strength had been exhausted and Shen Ning fell to the ground. Lian Chengjing came back and quickly dismounted to support her." You're still weak right now, so how can you afford to do this?"
Shen Ning seemed to have seen a life-saving straw and grabbed his shirt." Can you help me find him?""He won't see me. Can you help me find him?"
Lian Cheng Jing frowned." Who?"
"Lian Cheng Ye, he's still alive...I saw him in the cemetery a few days ago, but he refused to see me ……"
His body was extremely weak and he didn't eat. Shen Ning could n' t say too much.
Lian Chengjing's expression slowly changed. It was complicated and cold. A year ago, he had a trace of doubt about that body. He had not given up on the secret search. Two days ago, he had received a letter from the Flying Pigeon. Two guards had died near the cemetery. One of them had taken off his clothes. Then, was that person really back?That was why he had to retaliate and take everything away, causing the imperial court to panic?
However, he would never hand over what he had already obtained.
"Alright, I'll send someone to look for him.Don't worry, I' ll definitely get him back for you, but..."You have to recuperate before you can see him."
Lian Chengjing fed the hot porridge to Shen Ning's mouth and his concerned tone was gloomy.
Shen Ning's emotions finally calmed down with great difficulty. Even if Lian Cheng Ye did not want to see her now, she would still see him one day. As long as he was still there, even she would n' t dare to think.
Lian Chengjing's eyes darkened when he saw her look of anticipation. From beginning to end, his heart was filled with Lian Cheng Ye. Even if it was just an illusion this time, she was still persistent.
As for him, he had always been a guardian, so what could he do?
A ruthless and resolute expression flashed across his face. He would never lose to that person. The person in front of him could only be his!
He began to settle down to the fact that he still cared about the officials of the previous emperor and the power that Liancheng Ye had left behind in Phoenix City. However, day after day, Liancheng Ye still did not show himself. Instead, the people who were loyal to him were continuously killed. His endurance was gradually approaching its limit.
"Lian Cheng Ye, what's the point of pretending to be a ghost?"Come out if you have the ability!"
Shen Ning looked at the collapsed cityscape from afar. She pressed her chest down and leaned against a tree. She did not know how to face all of this.
More than a year had passed and she had never seen him. Instead, the battle between Lian Chengjing and the people behind the scenes was getting more and more intense. She even wondered if what she had seen that time was really an illusion.
She waited day after day. She often stood up in the middle of the night and looked up at the dome of heaven. After countless hopes and disappointments, she was finally tired. She thought, perhaps he really was lying here.
Lian Chengjing waved his sword, his voice hoarse, filled with resentment and unwillingness.
If this continued, everything he had painstakingly obtained would be put into use. He couldn't keep the person he wanted to keep.
Hatred and bone erosion made him go crazy.
He gathered all his strength and slashed the sword from the center of the tombstone. Shen Ning widened his eyes." No, don't ……"
The tombstone cracked. Even the cityscape couldn't calm down and ordered someone to dig Liancheng Ye's tomb.
When he saw the tomb that had been dug up, Lian Cheng Jing's body stiffened and he stared blankly inside.
Shen Ning's heart ached. When she ran over, she was also stunned. The coffin was empty, nothing.
She retreated and smiled bitterly. It turned out that was the case...
