Chapter 364: Chapter 364: The Time to Get Acquainted with Ji Luochen Chapter 364: Chapter 364: The Time to Get Acquainted with Ji Luochen Fu Hanjiang paused, then added, “If I hadn’t had someone find you and send you a message before I died, I guess by the time you returned to the Qin Kingdom, I would have been nothing but a pile of yellow earth!”

Mu Lingyun: …

She couldn’t refute his words. At that time, Fu Hanjiang’s old wounds had recurred, and his death had come too suddenly. If it hadn’t been for his men bringing the information, she indeed wouldn’t have known.

Later, when she rushed back, it was already too late.

Because of this, she regretted it for a long time. She couldn’t let go of not having seen him one last time.

But she and Jiang Jingxin had indeed been innocent.

As she looked toward Ji Luochen and was about to say something deep, she saw that Ji Luochen had already stood up.

He hung his head, his phoenix eyes narrowed, showing no emotion.

“You two keep talking, I’m going out for a walk,” Ji Luochen’s voice was very faint, emotionless.

After speaking, he strode away with his long legs and left.

“Your Highness…” Mu Lingyun wanted to follow him but was grabbed by Fu Hanjiang.

Fu Hanjiang watched Ji Luochen disappear through the door, a thoughtful look on his face, and he asked, “Did I just say something wrong?”

“What do you think?” Mu Lingyun gave Fu Hanjiang a cool glance, her voice chilly.

“I’m just frustrated, you know that!” Fu Hanjiang let go of Mu Lingyun’s hand, speaking very unhappily, “You say after you ascended the throne, you were hardly at home, leaving all the affairs of the Imperial Court to me and Qin Xun, you’ve changed. Not only that, but you also keep wandering around with that Jiang Jingxin. We were with you through life and death, yet in the end, we matter less than Jiang Jingxin. What’s so good about him? He has nothing, he’s poor and not even good-looking.”

Mu Lingyun: …

After hearing what Fu Hanjiang said, she simply sat down, her fingers drumming intermittently on the table.

She frowned and remained silent for a long while before she seemed to make up her mind and spoke softly, “After ascending the throne, my mind was indeed not on the Imperial Court. But it wasn’t because of Jiang Jingxin.”

She hadn’t expected that Fu Hanjiang would have such a deep misunderstanding because of this.

It seemed she really needed to explain.

“Not because of him? Then because of whom?” Fu Hanjiang said, puzzled.

“Because of Ji Luochen.” Mu Lingyun lowered her eyes, speaking softly, “I was looking for him, and Jiang Jingxin was merely accompanying me in the search.”

Fu Hanjiang opened his mouth to say something, but ultimately remained silent.

He suddenly remembered something.

It must have been soon after Mu Lingyun had ascended the throne that she sent out all her Hidden Guards.

At that time, her Hidden Guards were scattered across the country, none remained in the capital.

It was after that she frequently left the capital with Jiang Jingxin.

He had asked her commander of the Hidden Guards.

But the commander only mentioned they were looking for someone, without specifying whom.

Hearing Mu Lingyun’s words, he now understood that she had sent people out to look for someone. Was she searching for Ji Luochen at that time?

“You and Ji Luochen knew each other back then? Why were you looking for him?” Fu Hanjiang asked.

Mu Lingyun slightly raised her eyebrows, a smile curling on her lips: “Is it strange that I knew Ji Luochen back then?”

Fu Hanjiang frowned deeply: “You being a member of the Royal Family and a princess of the Feudal Lords, should have been worlds apart. Isn’t it strange that you knew each other so early?”
