"He should remember Ah Luo just like we have never forgotten him." Shan Ye said with a heavy tone.

Yun Fenglie nodded, "Yes, unknowingly, it has already been sixteen years. But this subject's memories are still so clear. This subject has never forgotten Ah Luo's appearance. "

Two men in their fifties, looking at a tombstone that had been erected for sixteen years, sighed so deeply. It seemed that they all knew very well that there was the same person in their hearts. Logically speaking, they were rivals. However, at this moment, the way they were chatting seemed to be reminiscing about an old friend who had passed away a long time ago.

I don't know what he was thinking about, but Shan Ye suddenly smiled bitterly, "When our Central Plains bloomed at the same time, Ah Luo actually likes the One Blossom who possesses North Dee. After so many years have passed, I still can't figure out why."

A half moon hung high in the sky, casting a hazy moonlight over the mountains. As it fell on the two people chasing after old friends by the grave, a lonely and sorrowful look appeared on their faces.

When they mentioned Ah Furong for the second time, Yun Qixi finally looked at the blood-red flower that was placed in front of the grave.

Aphrodisiac? However, this was clearly …

Yun Qixi walked over and picked up the so called Aphrodisiac and looked at it carefully. Yes, she was not mistaken. This flower was very beautiful and had many names. Perhaps Aphrodisiac was one of them.

"Where did this flower come from?" she could not help asking.

The cemetery in the darkness was very quiet, so her question was exceptionally clear. She believed that everyone had heard it, but no one answered her.

She raised her head, looked at Yun Fenglie, and then looked at Shan Ye. They had all avoided her gaze, obviously trying to avoid her question.

The more mysterious they were, the more curious Yun Qixi became. Just what kind of woman was buried here that would cause them to still be unable to forget after all these years? And why would she like this flower alone?

They did not answer, and she did not press them.

As Mu Jinluo's daughter, she could not be just curious, she should also have the sadness that a child should have.

She knelt in front of the grave and kowtowed three times. These three heads could be considered as her kowtowing in the place of the Miss Er. Now that she had replaced her identity, Mu Jinluo was also her mother. One day, she would find the answer to these questions.

"Ah Luo, look, Qi Xi has already grown so big, and she looks so pretty, like you. "I once betrothed her to the Crown Prince, but missed the opportunity. Now that I've betrothed her to Lian Cheng, I hope you won't object."

Shan Ye said to the tombstone. His voice did not have the majesty of the hall, it was a rare gentleness.

And at this moment, Yun Qixi saw that Yun Fenglie's eyes were suddenly filled with tears. Seeing Yun Qixi looking at him, he turned his face away and wiped the wetness from the corner of his eyes.

Returning from the grave, they returned back to the capital. At the intersection, they separated and Shan Ye rode on the carriage back to the palace while and Qiao Er rode on Yun Fenglie's carriage back to the Duke's Palace.

Along the way, Yun Fenglie just sat there quietly. Many things probably came to his mind, and his expression occasionally turned sorrowful.

"Qi Xi, after I marry into the Prince Jin Palace, I won't have much time to see you again. You have to take good care of yourself, do you understand?"

This was the only thing Yun Fenglie said on the way here.

Yun Qixi did not speak, she only nodded her head. Tonight, she could completely see his sorrow. She could not bear to tell him that she was no longer the Yun Qixi of the past, and could not bear to tell him that soon, she would disappear.

All of a sudden, she couldn't bear to see him suffer the loss of his daughter again if she were to disappear in the near future. If they were going to leave sooner or later, they should have let them accept the fact that they had already lost it.

When the carriage had almost reached the Duke Palace, Yun Qixi saw Su Yuwan pacing back and forth in front of the gate, looking extremely anxious.

When the carriage stopped, Yun Fenglie walked down from the carriage and his face lit up as he hurriedly went to welcome the carriage.

"Master, where did you go so late?"

Just as she finished speaking, Yun Qixi came out of the carriage, and then she clearly saw Su Yuwan's expression changed, and her smile became stiff.

"Qixi, you're here too."

"That's right, auntie. Why aren't you sleeping this late?" Yun Qixi asked with a smile.

Didn't she know how to pretend?

"Mm. I saw that your father hasn't come back yet, so I was worried. I couldn't fall asleep." Once she said she was worried, Su Yuwan frowned, she really did not seem to be worried at all.

Yun Qixi's stomach turned, she had an urge to vomit.

Only now did he realize that facing such a hypocritical person, she was already at her limit by smiling and cooperating with him.

"Master, what's wrong? You look very tired? " Su Yuwan's play had not stopped yet.

Yun Fenglie's patience seemed to have run out as he waved his hand tiredly. "I'm tired, I want to be alone and be quiet."

After he finished speaking, he no longer paid any attention to Su Yuwan and walked in alone.

Seeing Su Yuwan's change in expression, Yun Qixi was happy. She then smiled at her from the bottom of her heart, "Aunt, then I will go and rest as well."

Su Yuwan awkwardly laughed and nodded: "Ok."

While walking, Yun Qixi thought to herself, Su Yuwan should know 100% of where Yun Fenglie went tonight, right? So, was she vying for a dead man's favor?

Thinking about it, Yun Qixi laughed again.

After the time it took for an incense stick to burn, she lay down on the bed.

It was already late at night, and the surroundings were very quiet. Therefore, she could hear even the tiniest bit of sound clearly. For example, at this moment, there seemed to be the sound of crickets chirping non-stop.

So noisy! Yun Qixi turned her body around in frustration.

Time ticked by. She was a night owl, and it was difficult for her to sleep at night. However, the sound of the crickets continued to ring out, disturbing her.

In the end, she sat up and decided to find the noisy cricket as well.

She heard the sound and felt it was out of the room, so she put on her clothes and went out.

Listening carefully, she concluded that the sound was on the roof.

Now that her legs were almost healed, flipping over a wall was no problem at all for her.

However, when she flipped it over, she was shocked because she really saw a huge "crickets".

Yun Qixi walked over, and removed the big felt hat, staring at the smiling face under the felt hat in displeasure. After staring for a moment, she burst into laughter.

When Yun Qi saw the sinister smile on her face, he took off his felt hat.

"I'll beat you to death for staying up all night to disturb the peace and quiet of the crickets."

Yun Qi grabbed his felt hat and smiled at her pleadingly. "I'm sorry, I just wanted to wake you up."

"What are you doing? It's the middle of the night." Yun Qixi asked snappily.

"Here's a present for you." Yun Qi said.

Yun Qixi raised her hand and laughed, "What day is it today? Why are there so many people giving me gifts? "

"Isn't today your birthday?" Yun Qi asked.

"How do you know?" Yun Qixi asked in surprise.

Yun Qi sat up and put his felt hat on his head as he said lightly, "I guessed it because of your name."

Yun Qixi was skeptical, "You sure know how to guess."

Yun Qi took out a cloth bag and passed it to her.

Yun Qixi took it, and noticed that there was light coming out from the cloth bag, and could not help but be curious, "What is it?"

"Won't we know after taking a look? But it's a bit lighter. "

Yun Qixi gently opened the cloth bag and the light from inside leaked out.

It turned out to be a lantern, but this lantern was completely sealed off. Occasionally, there would be bits of light dancing about.

"Firefly?"

"Yes." Yun Qi said.

"Will you suffocate them like this? Let them out. " Yun Qixi exclaimed.

Yun Qi smiled. "The light of a firefly is weak, but many people are different when they come together."

"But you can light them up in one place and make them fly out. They can light up the night sky."

Yun Qixi realized that she had said something extremely philosophical, and her awareness rose to a certain level. Feeling rather proud, she poked a hole in the lantern and fireflies flew out of it one after another.

Slowly, the night sky before her filled with flickering lights. It was like stars in the night sky. However, these stars were so close and bright.

It was a beautiful scenery.

Yun Qixi seemed to have suddenly thought of something, and turned her head towards Yun Qi, awkwardly sticking out her tongue, "It must be difficult for you to catch these fireflies, I'm sorry, I'll let them all go."

Yun Qi smiled and said, "As long as you're happy."

The fireflies flew further and further away. Yun Qi raised his head and watched the fireflies leave from under his hat. He smiled. "Perhaps they can light up the path where the Cowherd and Weaver girl will meet."

Yun Qixi nodded and gave him a thumbs up, "If it's like this, then it can be considered as your contribution, and God will remember it."

Only when all the fireflies had dispersed did Yun Qi leave. Yun Qixi silently descended from the roof and returned to her room.

Early in the morning the next day, the Qiao Er brought back a piece of news.

"Miss Er, a lady has invited you to roam the river."

"Which lady?" Yun Qixi asked.

She did not remember which madam she was close to. Could it be that she had connections with someone from the past of Miss Er?

The Qiao Er shook his head, "I don't know. The one who came to deliver this message should be that lady's little girl. She told me to tell you that the lady said that you wouldn't be disappointed if you go."

Yun Qixi's words had really piqued her interest, and she smiled, "Alright, then I'll go meet this lady."

When she arrived at the riverside, she discovered that this so-called floating boat was actually a very big boat. It could absolutely be called luxurious.

Only after boarding the boat did she realize that the so called Madam was actually someone she knew.
