Heaven Scheme Palace

Chapters 36 - 37 Departure

In a moment, Yao Dan Qing was searching for Lv Wen Hao in the cave but it was empty. She panicked for a moment and then shouted out loud: "Lv Wen Hao!"

When she rushed to the cave entrance, the sound of wind could be heard from outside, she finally saw Lv Wen Hao at the top of the cliff picking dates, and at that moment, she stood quietly at the cave entrance, gazing into the distance, her eyes filled with complex emotions.

When Lv Wen Hao returned with his clothes, he saw Yao Dan Qing standing motionlessly at the entrance of the cave. Seeing the bright light in her eyes, he seemed to have understood something and explained, "I saw that I was almost done eating the dates, so I went to pick some more."

"I, I thought you left me alone …" As Yao Dan Qing said this, he couldn't help but feel choked up. He couldn't help but jump into his arms and tightly hug him.

After so many years, she had never felt such fear, not even on the brink of death.

It was as if from a very young age, she had treated him as a man, and warned him that he would inherit the Yao Family's family business in the future, and not be weak in front of anyone.

But now, she thought the line of words Lv Wen Hao had left on the stone wall was his last words to her.

She thought that Lv Wen Hao had left just like that.

Lv Wen Hao embraced her frail body, and could feel her slightly trembling body. He comforted her in a low voice: "In the future, I'll tell you everything, okay?"

Yao Dan Qing buried her face in Yun Che's embrace, unable to utter a single word. She did not make a sound for a long time, and only thought that time could stop at this moment.

•

In the evening, Lv Wen Hao sat at the side of the cave entrance and allowed the cold winter wind to blow his clothes into the air. He sat there for four hours and Yao Dan Qing sat inside the cave, lost in thought while watching his back.

After hesitating for a while, she got up and walked to the cave entrance. She sat beside Lv Wen Hao and asked: "What are you thinking about?"

"If we are to return to the imperial city with our lives … I can't promise you anything. " Lv Wen Hao's voice was low and deep, a few words were blown away by the wind, but Yao Dan Qing heard them clearly in her heart.

"I know. Political positions are different." Yao Dan Qing spoke calmly.

"Let your father support the Prince Chu, I will definitely protect his glory for the rest of his life."

Hearing this, Yao Dan Qing laughed, "That's impossible, Father has his principles and perseverance, since he decided to support Crown Prince, it is impossible for him to betray."

Lv Wen Hao asked: Then, can we only be enemies?

"But I want to marry you as my wife." Lv Wen Hao's voice was calm, and she used that warm and gentle voice to express her feelings and feelings towards her. It was not passion like fire, nor was it coldness like ice, but was the most sincere expression.

Lv Wen Hao held Yao Dan Qing's hand that was placed at her side. Yao Dan Qing felt the strength behind his palm and couldn't help but clench it back, and laughed: "Actually, two people who love each other doesn't necessarily need to be together. Whether or not there is a different side of the world, as long as there's a mutual feeling in their hearts, that's enough, isn't it?"

Lv Wen Hao laughed, "Yao Dan Qing, just what kind of woman are you to be able to say such generous words."

"You just noticed that I'm different." Yao Dan Qing shamelessly replied, but in her heart, she felt extremely bitter.

"Let's make an agreement with Shaohua." Lv Wen Hao suddenly said.

"The agreement of Shaohua?" Yao Dan Qing was suspicious.

"Even if we can't be together, we must still live well. Even if we have our own destinations in the future, our hearts will always keep a place for each other, forever."

Yao Dan Qing used a bit more strength to hold his hand, and it faintly trembled a little. She leaned on his shoulder, and said with a low voice: "Forever?"

Forever, that word seemed so far away, so far away that she could not easily promise it.

At that time, she still didn't understand how deep her feelings for Lv Wen Hao actually were.

"En, forever." However, she still promised to follow her will for some reason.

•

Three days later, just as the two were sleeping soundly, and suddenly hearing some noises above their heads, Yao Dan Qing and Lv Wen Hao were startled awake, and quickly rushed to the side of the stone wall to listen, and when they could hear everything clearly, Yao Dan Qing said happily: "It's the sound of horses' hooves, there are a lot of them, and they are coming closer this way … … It must be Jin Jun who is looking for us! "

Lv Wen Hao nodded, "We can be saved!"

"But they didn't know we were below the cliff." Yao Dan Qing said with a frown.

"Oh, I have a signal detonator." Lv Wen Hao quickly took out a small bamboo tube from his bosom. Yao Dan Qing's eyes were wide open as she asked: "You have a signal detonator, why didn't you let it out earlier?"

"What if they don't see it? What if he found the right place? Look, right now Jin Jun is in the vicinity, if I were to release the signal detonator, they would definitely be able to pinpoint our location. " Lv Wen Hao said as he walked out of the cave. The signal shot out and released a rainbow light in the air.

The signal detonator had indeed alerted the incoming troops, the commander who led the troops to look for Lv Wen Hao was Vice General Li who was on his way in three different directions, after he was out of danger, he returned the same way to check out the situation.

Yao Dan Qing heard Vice General Li's voice echoing in the valley, while Lv Wen Hao responded loudly.

The joy of being reborn after a tribulation only lasted for a mere moment. She turned her head and stared at the row of words carved on the stone wall, and silently recited the words in her heart:

After leaving this cave, would she and Lv Wen Hao become strangers?

Just now, she said that those who loved didn't necessarily want to be together, but in reality, her heart had never been so open-minded.

"Danqing." Lv Wen Hao suddenly shouted at her.

Yao Dan Qing regained her senses, and walked towards Lv Wen Hao, only to see that at some point, a thick vine had been put down from the cave entrance.

"You go up first." Lv Wen Hao pulled the vine and wrapped it around her waist a few times. Only after he was sure that it was tied tightly did he let go.

Yao Dan Qing walked out of the cave in a daze, her hands tightly holding onto the vine. She felt a strong force pulling her up, but she still reluctantly looked at Lv Wen Hao who was standing at the entrance of the cave.

At this moment, he moved his lips as if he had said something to her. However, the wind around the valley was too strong, making it difficult to hear what she was saying.

Danqing, I love you.

Yao Dan Qing smiled sweetly with tears in her eyes as she replied, "I love you too."

Although she didn't know if he had heard her, she had already given him her most sincere heart at that moment.
