half-believing and half-doubting. She couldn't find any loopholes for the moment. She would ask Ajing about the events in Tianba country later and investigate if there was ever a princess to see if...Seeing Mo Yunchen actually leading people to find Mo Junyi, he went contentedly to another tent.

It was deep into the night. Except for the soldiers on guard duty, almost everyone in the camp had fallen asleep, including Dr. Liu.

Doctor Liu was always cautious, and even when he slept, it wasn't a deep sleep. So, when Yun Rui appeared by his bedside, he seemed to have sensed something, and suddenly opened his eyes wide!

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a man in a mask standing beside the bed. He immediately acted, for as a military doctor, he was naturally skilled in martial arts.

He wasn't even a real threat, his moves were clumsy at best. Yun Rui simply used light kung fu to step back, while Dr. Liu refused to give up. Perhaps he had been sleeping too soundly and was completely oblivious to the vast difference in skill between him and the person before him.

He not only didn't realize the danger of his situation, but he continued to advance, wanting to capture this 'mysterious person' who had suddenly appeared in his tent.

Yun Rui shi didn't speak, and he was also curious to see what skills the person in front of him, who he hadn't seen in years, had acquired.

Dr. Liu is skilled in medicine but not in combat. While he can handle some low-ranking soldiers, facing someone as powerful as Yun Rui is beyond his capabilities. It's simply... a case of overreaching.

Yun Ruizhi stood still, while Dr. Liu charged forward. Before Dr. Liu's hand could touch Yun Ruizhi's body, he suddenly felt a gust of wind behind him, forcing him to dodge hastily.

While dodging, the dagger in his hand flew towards the masked man, but his speed was nothing to be feared in the eyes of the man.

I only saw the man flash lightly, easily dodging all of Dr. Liu's attacks.

After several exchanges, Dr. Liu finally realized that he was completely outmatched by the man before him. If this man had wanted his life, he would have been dead by now.

Realizing the disparity in strength between himself and the man before him, Dr. Liu quickly regained his composure. He ceased his attacks and stood face-to-face with the man.

They stared at each other in silence for a moment. Dr. Liu's brow furrowed. "Who are you And how did you get here"

Yun Rui's smile tugged at the corner of his lips under the mask. He let out a sudden, unexpected chuckle, "Liu Cheng, after all these years, you haven't improved one bit."

"!"

Hearing this long-lost, familiar voice, Dr. Liu was so surprised that he stood there like a piece of wood, his mouth agape. He didn't know how long it had been before he came to his senses. When he guessed who the person in front of him was, his hands trembled uncontrollably.

"Stareing at him for a long moment before she could find her voice, "Who...who are you"

Yun Rui smiled again, "So now you can't even hear my voice"

"! "

After confirming he hadn't misheard, Dr. Liu immediately knelt down, "Your Highness..."

Listening to the long-forgotten address, Yun Rui's eyelids drooped slightly, his eyes dark and deep, like the ocean. It seemed that some emotion was surging within him, for many years no one had addressed him this way.

The name instantly brought back memories of his father's time. Back then, he was just a prince with no ambition, content with a simple life. He was so full of vitality, often inviting three or five friends to enjoy the scenery, write poetry, and live a carefree and happy life.

Who could have imagined that one day, his life would undergo such a drastic change His father was murdered, his siblings were executed overnight, the woman he loved was coveted by others, and everything he had always been proud of vanished in an instant. And all of this was caused by the current emperor!

Thinking of this overwhelming hatred, Yun Ruishi's eyes flashed with a cruel and eerie light, causing an inexplicable tremor and fear. Even Liu the doctor, still kneeling on the ground, felt the change in Yun Ruishi's emotions. He didn't need to think much to know what caused the shift in Yun Ruishi's mood.

He, too, had firsthand experience of those days. As a former close friend, he understood the hatred in Yun Ruisheng's heart very well. Looking back now, even he felt a complicated mix of emotions, let alone Yun Ruisheng, the victim himself.

"It's just... after all these years, thinking back still makes him a little dizzy. "Your Highness, you... have you been doing well all these years"

Liu Cheng's concerned question made Yun Rui inexplicably think of something. He coldly opened his lips, his eyes suddenly becoming incredibly sharp as he stared at him, saying in a tone devoid of emotion, "What do you think In your place, would you be able to live well"

"..."

Doctor Liu pursed his lips. He also realized after asking the question that he had asked a rather foolish one.

It's understandable, wouldn't anyone who experiences the sudden loss of their home and family find it difficult to cope

Even after so many years, what's done is done. Those innocent lives lost can never return, Yun Ruisi's face will forever bear the scars, and his beloved woman... she's gone forever.

Thinking back to all the things that happened to Yun Ruishi, Liu Cheng knew that no matter how hard he tried to persuade him, it would be useless. The hatred in Yun Ruishi's heart was so deep that even if they killed the culprit from back then, it wouldn't ease his pain.

That's precisely why he didn't try to persuade Yun Rui to let go of his hatred at this moment. Honestly, if it were him who had suffered the loss of his family and home, with his loved one taken away, he would have fought tooth and nail for revenge, even more so than Yun Rui, who was once the most spirited prince.

Yun Rui shi did not bring up Liu Cheng's past deeds. At this moment, he bent down and helped Liu Cheng to his feet, and the two of them sat down.

Liu Cheng looked at Yun Rui's face, the mask on his face. "Your Highness, even after applying medicine, your scars haven't faded"

After the incident, Yunruishen had a hard time escaping from the capital. They did many things, but unfortunately, the emperor had made many preparations back then to prevent Yunruishen from fleeing.

Later, almost all the people Yun Rui Shi knew were killed. Yun Rui Shi himself destroyed his appearance and endured hardships to escape the capital. Of course, in the end, he was the only one who could escape the capital.

To get out, ghost knows how many schemes they used to cover their tracks. Fortunately, the final result wasn't bad, Yun Rui's life was saved in the end.

Is she merely the beloved of Yun Rui, or has she entered the palace... enduring humiliation and hardship to become the empress of the current emperor, only to die within those deep palace walls in the end

Remembering her fate, Liu Cheng's eyes flashed with a trace of sadness, but he quickly hid it away.

Yúnruì shí did not miss the emotion in his eyes, but he pretended not to see it, only faintly said, "The medicine you gave me that year, I didn't use it."

"! "

Liu Cheng frowned, "Why That medicine can indeed lighten the scars, making your face, Your Highness, not so..."

"Not too ugly, is it"
