Gu Lan"s tears were streaming down her face endlessly. She stared ad Gu Ruoyun tearily as she answered, "Yu"er and I were pa.s.sing through the Dragon Moon Empire when the Empire"s Princess Ye Luan fell in love with Yu"er and wanted to make him the Empire"s son-in-law. Yu"er had refused but I don"t know what the agents of that Empire had done to Yu"er and caused him to lose all his memory. He doesn"t even recognize me! He"s become obedient to Princess Ye Luan and is following her orders to kill me. Sob, sob, Sister Gu, what should we do? Yu"er doesn"t remember us now..."

Gu Ruoyun"s expression slowly sank.

Princess Ye Luan"s love for Xia Linyu was not a crime but she had sinned by hurting Yu"er.

Gu Ruoyun would never allow anyone to hurt her loved ones.

"Gu Lan, take me to the Dragon Moon Empire now!"

Gu Ruoyun lowered her gaze as a cold light flashed in her eyes. "Since the people of Dragon Moon Empire had dared to touch my brother, I won"t ever let them get away with it!"

"But, Sister Gu, Yu"er has forgotten all about us. If we crash into the Dragon Moon Empire, I"m afraid that Princess Ye Luan will use Yu"er against us. I don"t want him to get hurt."

If that had not been the case, she would have mobilized the Gu family to save him by now.

"I don"t know what she has done to Yu"er but as long as I can see him, I can save him!" Gu Ruoyun turned towards Gu Lan. "Take me to the Dragon Moon Empire now! I"d love to see how Princess Ye Luan had found the nerve to touch my brother!"

A sliver of hope flashed in Gu Lan"s eyes as she nodded, "Alright."

She has great faith in Gu Ruoyun. As long as Gu Ruoyun was in the picture, there would not be any problems...

At this moment, everything was peaceful in the Dragon Moon Empire, blissfully unaware of the oncoming calamity.

A delicately handsome youth was standing with his back against the door in a luxurious bedchamber in a palace. His clear and limpid eyes stared intently out the window as his graceful brows were knitted into a frown, deep in thought.

Sunlight streamed in from the window and lit up the youth"s lanky, tall and slim figure as he placed his hands behind his back. He was keenly aware that someone was approaching him from the back but he did not move.

"Sir Xia, what are you thinking about?"

The woman"s graceful voice rang out behind him and caused Xia Linyu to jump. He slowly turned around and his clear gaze settled on the woman"s pretty and dignified features.

"Princess Ye Luan, you"re here?"

He looked at Ye Luan who was walking towards him and smiled.

The man"s voice was like the sound of a clear spring. It was comforting and caused the listener to feel as though their soul was being cleansed.

"Sir Xia, we will be married in a few days time. Before we get married, I wonder if, if you could..." Ye Luan"s graceful features turned a little shy, "Could you embrace me for a while? We"ve known each other for so long but you"ve never hugged me. Are you avoiding me, Sir Xia?"

Ye Luan"s eyes filled with tears and she looked so pitiful that one could not help but be moved to tenderness towards her.

Xia Linyu"s heart softened in the face of Ye Luan"s teary gaze. He walked towards Ye Luan.

Ye Luan"s eyes filled with antic.i.p.ation as she saw the youth reach his hands out to embrace her. Suddenly, he stopped...
