After Jiang Xiao Liang left, Yang Yun stayed in the woods until the sun almost set . When he returned to Yang's residence, Yang Yun jumped on the roof to avoid the others and clear his mind .

Some of the things that Jiang Xiao Liang had said to him in the woods, it's not like he had not heard them before . Months ago, General Jiang Xiao Xian had said almost the same thing . However, when the General announced that he was relieved off his duty until further notice, he was upset . He was angry . He lost the person he loved most and his job . In the end, he did not put what the General had said to him in mind .

This time, Jiang Xiao Liang's words lingered in his mind and heart . It was probably because Xiao Liang beat him so hard that he could still feel the pain all over his body .

When Mingyue disappeared, Yang Yun thought that everyone would blame him . However, no one said anything . Even though Princess Lingchen was mad that he did not stay to look for Mingyue, in the end, the Princess did not blame him for losing Mingyue . This only made Yang Yun hated himself .

Yang Yun snapped out of his thought and sat up when he heard his mother's voice . His mother, Liu Qing Xin, was instructing the servant to some task, watching as his mother made Yang Yun's heart ached . His mother had worked hard to raise him and his sister, Yang An .

Months ago, when he encountered the criminal in the woods, Yang Yun had decided to pursue the criminal alone . He missed his wife, Mingyue so much that he thought it would be good if he were injured in the mission and died .

Back then, he felt that perhaps he would be with Mingyue in the afterlife . Yang Yun did not give his mother and sister any thought . He didn't think of what will happen to them if he were gone . He was selfish .

Yang Yun knew that he was in the wrong . He shouldn't think the way he did . If his mother knew what was in his mind the moment he decided to go for the criminal, his mother would be sad and disappointed .

However, Yang Yun was haunted by the moment where Mingyue's hand slipped away from his hand . He failed to stop Mingyue from vanis.h.i.+ng, and he had become obsessed with the guilt .

Jiang Xiao Liang's words made him realized that he was not the only one who blamed himself for Mingyue's disappearance . For a while, Yang Yun was glad that Jiang Xiao Liang had beaten him back in the woods . It was the first time that Xiao Liang defeated yang Yun, and that boy did not even hold back his kicks and punches .

Yang Yun felt that he needed to get hit . At least Jiang Xiao Liang had released his anger and lessen the self-blame in him . The pain made him feel awake . He has to stop the way he thinks, or else, he might fall deeper into the pit and never get out of it .

Jiang Xiao Tian entered the Princess' palace once he got the information on Prince Lu Wei's departure . Once he reported the news to Princess Lingchen, Jiang Xiao Tian stayed quietly at the side and waited for the princess' further instruction .

"Arrange for people to escort Prince Lu Wei in secret until he reached Da Cheng's border," Princess Lingchen said after a long silence . "I don't want anything to happen to him before he got out . "

"Yes, Your Highness," Jiang Xiao Tian bowed . He knew that the Crown Princess was concerned with the Prince of Qian Rong's safety . If anything happened to the prince while he was still in Da Cheng's soil, it would give Qian Rong a reason to initiate an attack towards Da Cheng .

"Wait," Princess Lingchen said as Jiang Xiao Tian turned around to leave . She tapped his fingers on the table and paused . "You should escort the prince personally . I don't think I can be at ease without you going in person . "

Jiang Xiao Tian bowed again . After discussing with Princess Lingchen on some matters, Jiang Xiao Tian headed towards the army camp in the outskirt to meet his elder brother, Xiao Xian .

A few soldiers greeted him before he was taken to the General's tent . Jiang Xiao Tian waited outside as a soldier went in to announce his arrival . A minute later, he was allowed into the tent .

"It's rare to see you visit me," Jiang Xiao Xian said . He put away the doc.u.ments on his table and stood up . Then, he pointed towards a small table at the side room and invited Xiao Tian to sit down .

"I hope I am not disturbing you with your work, Eldest Brother . "

"You come at the right time," Jiang Xiao Xian said . "I might need your suggestion on some matters later . Bur first, tell me . Why are you here?"

"I heard that you're going to send a few of your men to escort the Prince Lu Wei of Qian Rong to Da Cheng's border," Jiang Xiao Tian said .

"What about it?"

Jiang Xiao Tian's lips curved into a small smile . "I need your help . "
