Chapter 188 Should I really obey the truest voice in my heart this time?
Facing Murong Zixi's question, Jun Feimo just raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, and said slowly: "Xi'er, although I am in this complicated and scheming royal family, I always understand one truth in my heart - 'Water can carry ships forward, but it can also overturn and sink them'. My royal brother is a well-deserved wise ruler. He cares about the people of the world and only wants the country to prosper and the people to live and work in peace and contentment.
Our Dongyang country has been in constant war for many years, resulting in a serious deficit in the treasury, and the people are in dire straits and suffering. At this moment, the unexpected discovery of this gold mine here is undoubtedly a favor and gift from God to our Dongyang country.
In this case, this huge amount of wealth should naturally be fully utilized and invested in various national construction projects to save the people from suffering, rather than satisfying one's own selfishness. "
As the words fell, Jun Feimo's eyes, which were already as deep as a pool, became even deeper. He stared at Murong Zixi as if he could see through everything, as if he had seen through her innermost thoughts.
Then, he spoke again: "I have never had any thoughts about the so-called throne. I just want to be my brother's most capable arm. My brother will be in charge of the internal affairs and govern the government; while I am willing to stay abroad and resist foreign invasion. Only in this way can we ensure the eternal stability of Dongyang and the well-being of the people."
Murong Zixi slowly walked out of the cave. Outside the cave, the night was as dark as thick ink. Everything was silent but for the soft singing of the autumn wind, which brought with it a hint of desolation and coolness.
Her beautiful eyes seemed to reflect the faint and soft starlight, shining brightly, as if containing endless thoughts and secrets, the true meaning of which was impossible to discern.
Her silence was as unfathomable as the endless night, making it difficult to guess what she was thinking.
At this moment, a gust of wind suddenly came without warning, passing through the dense woods, hitting the leaves, making a crisp and pleasant sound.
The wind was filled with the unique chill of autumn, blowing mercilessly at Murong Zixi's delicate body, causing her to tremble slightly involuntarily.
This extremely subtle action was particularly eye-catching in such a quiet and peaceful night.
She subconsciously clutched her collar tightly, trying to resist the sudden cold, but it seemed to be ineffective.
At the same time, Jun Feimo had been standing silently by the side, his eyes never leaving Murong Zixi even for a moment.
With his extraordinary keen insight, he easily noticed the subtle changes in her body, and an imperceptible pity flashed across his eyes.
Without the slightest hesitation, he carefully took off the exquisite coat embroidered with complex cloud patterns. The whole action was as smooth and natural as flowing water. "Xi'er, put it on quickly." His voice was low and gentle, like the warm and pleasant sunlight in spring, and it drove away the slight chill in the surroundings in an instant.
After hearing this, Murong Zixi was slightly startled. She raised her beautiful eyes and stared at Jun Feimo in front of her. She saw that the other party's deep eyes were full of concern and irresistible determination. "Thank you, I don't need to..." She responded softly. Although her tone was gentle, it still contained a little stubbornness.
Facing Murong Zixi's polite refusal, Jun Feimo merely responded with a faint smile, which revealed an unquestionable determination and endless doting.
"Xi'er, there is no need to be so distant with me. You are weak, and I brought you here because I was not careful. Moreover, the temperature in the mountains drops sharply at night, and it is very cold. If you catch a cold, I will be heartbroken."
Murong Zixi's heart felt as if it had been hit hard by a heavy hammer, causing it to tremble violently.
She has always had a deep yearning for a free and unrestrained life, and has been trying to break free from the shackles that bind her.
However, at this moment, her heart, which had been as solid as a rock and unwavering, seemed to have suddenly lost its direction and began to lean uncontrollably towards some unknown area.
Could it be that this time I should really obey the truest voice in my heart? Murong Zixi couldn't help but fall into a fierce ideological struggle, with endless entanglements and contradictions in her heart.
At this moment, she seemed to be standing at a crossroads, facing completely different choices, each of which could lead her to a completely different life trajectory.
In the end, she silently gave up resisting and let Jun Feimo carefully and gently put the coat on her delicate shoulders.
This coat seemed to carry Jun Feimo's unique warmth and exclusive aura, like a spring breeze blowing across the face, instantly bringing Murong Zixi an indescribable feeling of warmth.
"Let's go back." Jun Feimo whispered softly. Before he finished speaking, he stretched out his arms without hesitation and gently embraced Murong Zixi's slender waist with an irresistible strong force.
Then, his figure flashed and he leaped into the air like an nimble cheetah. Taking advantage of the deep night and gentle breeze, he rushed towards the foot of the mountain like a shooting star chasing the moon.
Their figures gradually moved away in the moonlight until they disappeared...
