《Princess Comes, Prince Obeys》


 C1

    When the wind blew, it was already dark. The leaves on the trees swayed along with the wind, and the dark clouds in the dark sky completely covered the last of the moonlight. The night sky and the forest street were covered in endless darkness, signalling the start of a new storm.


    The night was dark and the wind was high. In the maple forest outside the city, the movement in the dark night had already begun.


    A commotion broke the silence in the forest. Even though it was night time, he could still see shadows floating in the forest. Suddenly, a roar broke the silence in the forest.


    "Master has ordered me to kill the Regent and reward him with a thousand taels of silver."


    "Hmph, you think you can kill This King?!"


    In the darkness, the man wore a purplish-gold embroidered python robe, a jade pendant in the shape of a dragon, white jade and gold at his waist. He wore a black jade hairband, and the fluttering black ribbon in the wind highlighted the man''s figure even more.


    The man waved his sleeve and the Qi blade flew towards the assassins, knocking them to the ground. Bright red blood spurted out and dyed the maple trees outside the city red, dyeing the moon that lost its light in the dark sky.


    Even though the man''s martial arts were unrivalled, he was not a man of God. His physical strength would eventually run out, and the number of assassins would not be small. Seeing the men gradually losing their strength, the killers'' attacks became even fiercer.


    Through the long night, the sounds of fighting filled the silent forest...


    Time slowly passed.


    The man spat out a mouthful of blood, the corner of his mouth still dripping with blood. At this time, the man had already been cut several times, but the purple gold python robe covered his blood-red body, and the stench of blood in the air became increasingly thick.


    Seeing that the man was severely injured, the leader of the assassins gathered all of his power into his sword and swung it towards the man. In this moment of life and death, a leaf floated down from the tree, but hidden within the tree was a deep layer of inner strength. In the blink of an eye, the leaf passed through the throat of the killer just now.


    After that, leaves began to fall from the tree, and the number of swords that fell to the ground increased.


    At this time, a graceful woman dressed in a long moon-white robe appeared in the darkness. The girl had a thin figure. Standing in the dark night, she was even more reflective and revealed the lightness of her body.


    "Who are you? How dare you obstruct us?!"


    He could feel an invisible pressure from it. Obviously, this pressure didn''t come from the heavily injured Yu Lingjing, so it could only come from someone else. One of the killers asked the night.


    "My surname is Qi. As for my name, only the dead know."


    The woman in the white robe replied. Her voice was ethereal and distant, with no traces of her presence, revealing her deep inner strength.


    The hitman saw that the one who came was Qi Wan County, heard the girl''s arrogant words, and asked: "Qi Family, Martial Lin Family? This matter is not something that your Qi family can handle. Did he really have to stick his hand out and deal with this matter that he shouldn''t care about? You''d better consider the cost before you answer. "


    The corners of Qi Wan County''s mouth raised as he coldly sneered, "The matter that I am about to meddle in is not something that you and other scoundrels would talk about."


    The killer saw Qi Wanshi''s tough attitude and could only clench his teeth and say, "Withdraw!" Yu Ling Jing, consider yourself lucky today, and you will come to take your life sooner or later. Qi Shengmo, since you''ve decided to interfere in this matter, you should accept the price! "


    The assassin was forced to retreat and disappeared into the dark night. If these assassins didn''t retreat soon, they would die in the hands of Qi Lang County.


    After seeing the killer leave, Qi Wan County walked towards Yu Ling Jing who was standing on the ground in front of them. With a deep bow, he cupped his hands and said, "Greetings to the Regent. I have come late to save you. Please forgive me."


    Yu Lingjing helped Qi Dian, who was bowing and bowing to him, up, and then said, "I should be the one thanking Miss Qi for saving my life. Just now, if it wasn''t for Miss Qi, I would have died a long time ago."


    When Yu Ling Jing saw Qi Shu County''s appearance, he couldn''t help but look at it. His eyes became unmoving as he lamented her beauty. A beauty that could topple nations and topple nations, a beauty that could overturn heavens.


    Seeing this, Qi Wan County said, "Prince, you are seriously injured. If you don''t mind, please come to the Qi Mansion in front to recuperate!"


    When Yu Ling Jing saw this, he recalled that his wounds just now were indeed unable to return to the palace or the barracks. If he didn''t agree, then he probably wouldn''t even be able to leave this forest, and so he agreed to Qi Shu''s request.


    "Thank you for saving my life, Miss Qi. Little Wang will never forget it! "


    Qi Dian rushed forward to support the heavily injured Yu Ling Jing, and headed in the direction of the bullying.


    Qi and Yu Ling County slowly disappeared into the bloody forest.


    A white-robed, white-haired woman on top of a tree in the distance saw everything that happened, and could not help but frown, and whispered: "A storm is brewing, and the entire martial arts world will be in turmoil, not only will my two disciples survive in the dark." It is unknown what kind of predicament the people of this world will face. "


    A gust of wind blew past. The white-haired woman disappeared into the darkness, leaving behind only silence in order to return the earlier massacre in the Maple Forest.


    On the second day after the assassination, there was no haze or loneliness like last night. The sky was blue and cloudless, and when one looked up at the sky, which symbolized the highest point of authority, they could still see the white crane flying through the clouds.


    However, although the Residence of Crown Prince of the capital was under the clear sky and white clouds, it was not as warm and beautiful as it was outside. On the contrary, it was filled with a depressing atmosphere, like a black cloud pressing down on a city.


    "Bastard, I have raised you trash for nothing. So many people were unable to kill the Regent on the way back to the capital, and I was even rescued!"


    In the elegant and ancient room that highlighted the royal family''s power, the yellow-robed man was furious when he heard the news of the failed assassination yesterday.


    Strands of sunlight shone in through the window. The part of the sunlight that shone onto the yellow-robed Dragon Marked Jade Pendant revealed the haze on the man''s face. Even though the man''s face was extremely exquisite, it couldn''t cover the fury in his heart.


    The man couldn''t help but tightly clench the Dragon Marked Jade Pendant in his hand as if it was shattered into pieces.


    Her pitch-black brows tightly knitted, as she glanced at the person in front of her, and said in her heart, "This time, who was the one who intervened to obstruct me?"


    A man dressed in black didn''t dare to raise his head to look at the man in front of him.


    He cupped his hands and replied, "Reporting to the crown prince, it''s a woman with the surname Qi. We are no match for her."


    Hearing the black-clothed assassin''s reply, the jade in his hand couldn''t help but break. With a cold laugh, he said, "A girl with the surname Qi? It seems like this old fart, Qi Shengmo, is going to oppose me to the end. I will let you know the price you have to pay for bad things that have happened to me. "


    He couldn''t help but think in his heart, since that woman''s surname is Qi, the outside world says that you have no children, but everyone knows that you have an adopted daughter. Regardless if it''s you or not, I will definitely get rid of you. Qi Shengmo, it seems like your Qi Mansion is at peace, your Qi Mansion should also be at an end!


    He then said, "Make the arrangements to exterminate the Seven Deaths Houses within three days!" His sneer was the embodiment of viciousness.


    Since you have blocked my path, I will not let you, the Qi family, live for one day!


    Similarly, the day after the assassination in the Qi Province, although it did not have the oppressive aura of the capital''s Crown Prince''s Palace, it still emitted a gloomy aura.


    Inside the classical pavilion in the Seventh Mansion, a pearl curtain separated the burly middle-aged man from the graceful and beautiful woman. The man''s expression was solemn, revealing a strict aura, while the woman was gentle and graceful like water.


    Even if a pearl curtain were to fall upon her eyes, it would still not be able to conceal her beautiful figure and her beauty that could topple empires and topple empires. She was like a fairy that had been scattered across the world, calm as a maiden and graceful as a dragon.


    "Father, even if you don''t want to get involved in the battle for the throne, it looks like you won''t make it."


    A gentle and beautiful voice came from the other side of the pearl curtain. It sounded just like the sound of nature.


    "Since you are engaged to Yu Ling Jing, how can I not involve myself in the matter of my future son-in-law? Only, you acted too rashly last night, luckily you didn''t expose your name. "


    Hearing the sound coming from the other side of the pearl curtain, Qi Shengmo replied with a smile.


    "Father, I am not acting rashly, it is just that things happened too suddenly, I don''t have the time to report to you. If I had acted a little later, the Regent King, Ling Jing, would have already passed on. "But now that I''ve saved Yu Ling Jing, I''m afraid that this undercurrent has already flooded into the Qi Residence."


    After hearing his father''s words, Qi Shu couldn''t help but frown as she slowly spoke.


    Qi Wan County was very worried. He was afraid that the Qi family would become the next target of the Crown Prince. The Qi Mansion would never be at peace, and this martial arts Lin was going to be involved in this bloody storm that did not belong to him. Perhaps, Qi Tong already knew that the Qi family hadn''t made their position known in the martial arts world. This calamity would surely come, and it was just a matter of time.


    After the woman finished speaking, the two of them did not continue their conversation. The room was so quiet that even the rustling of the grass could be heard outside.


    On the second day after the failure of the assassination attempt, the weather was still very beautiful. However, what was out of place was that the Qi Mansion of the Martial House and the majestic Crown Prince''s Palace were covered in a layer of haze.


    In the capital''s crown prince''s mansion, a man dressed in dragon robes was playing chess alone in a pavilion in the garden. As soon as the black piece on his left hand landed on the board, the white piece on his right hand had yet to fall, but he glanced at the person beside him.


    "Tonight, I must get rid of this stumbling block known as the Qi Residence. Otherwise, let''s raise our heads and meet them! "


    Hearing the man''s order, even if it was difficult this time, he could only bite the bullet and agree.


    "Yes, this subordinate obeys!"


    After he finished speaking, he disappeared within the pavilion, and at the same time, wave after wave of black-clothed masked men gathered at the Seven Palaces. Tonight, the Seven Palaces were fated to be a place of slaughter.


    After nightfall, the black clouds pressed down on the city and the howling wind was the complete opposite of the beautiful day.


    There was a slight disturbance in the treetops, and the candle flame in the room was also slightly shaking. Qi Wan was sitting by the window, slowly drinking the new tea that had just been poured, and looking at the scene outside, she thought to herself, It''s finally here, but much faster than I thought. Qi Shengmo, who was sitting in front of the desk with a book in his hand, indifferently said.


    "What should come will eventually come."


    A man in dark clothes said from outside the door.


    "Patriarch, Miss, the guest is here. "And they didn''t come with good intentions."


    Hearing the words of the person outside, Qi Shengmo, who was reading, only replied with one word.


    "Fight!"


    In an instant, the great Seven Palaces were filled with people. Today, the annihilation of the Seven Palaces was inevitable.


    Qi Shengmo, who was still dressed in blue ink and had a burly figure, could not help but laugh when he saw this scene.


    "The Crown Prince is really praising my small Qi Residence."


    After these words, the servants in the Qi Mansion fought with the numerous assassins in the dark of the night.


    Even if everyone in the Qi Residence knew martial arts, even if the Patriarch of the Qi Family had superb martial arts, and the young miss of the Qi Family Qi Shu County had exceptional martial arts, it would eventually be difficult to defeat this batch of assassins who had undergone special training. To be more accurate, it should be the hidden guards personally trained by the crown prince of the imperial court, Yu Hanfeng.


    The sword light was sharp, the Qi family''s blood dyed the sharp sabre edge red, dyed the blooming flowers of the Qi family forest courtyard red, the originally beautiful flowers were dyed with blood, it was even more enchanting, even more so a hint from hell.


    During the battle, the Qi family would eventually fall into a pool of blood. The originally clean Qi Mansion was now in a state of chaos, and blood was flowing like a river.


    Tonight, over five hundred members of the Qi family, regardless of their gender or age, had died in this undercurrent.

 C2

    The current Qi Mansion was no longer the magnificent Qi Mansion that it used to be. Now, the Qi Mansion had become a place where rivers of blood flowed and corpses littered the ground, and the thick smell of blood could not help making people feel nauseous.


    At this time, among all the corpses of the Qi family members, there was a person whose finger was quietly jumping. This person was the Qi Lang country that was lying in a pool of Qi family blood, after the fierce battle last night, Qi Wan county no longer had any strength left, and during last night''s battle, he himself had been stabbed several times. He could tell just by looking at the blood on his body. However, no matter how weak she was, no matter how weak she was, she had to stand up. She still wanted to see how many people from the Qi family were still alive.


    He struggled to stand up but couldn''t even stand properly. He looked at the desolation on his face and felt pain in his heart. There was nothing to describe the pain in his heart. He could only feel blood dripping from his heart.


    Her black hair reached her waist, and she was not wearing any fancy clothes, only plain clothes, and the simple clothes she wore were already stained with streaks of color. One could see how terrible the battle had been last night, and how badly she had sustained her own injuries. At this time, Qi Wan County was in a very sorry state.


    Seeing the tragic scene in the Qi Residence, there was no obvious change in his expression. Only a tear fell from his cheek and his hand was tightly clenched. He didn''t even feel pain when his fingernails pierced into his flesh.


    If one were to ask anyone in the world, their fingers were always linked to the heart. The pain of having their nails pierced the heart, how could it be compared to the pain of having their entire family annihilated, regardless of whether they were men, women, or children?


    When he saw the current Seven Palaces, he didn''t feel a sense of desolation.


    "Father, did you know that this would happen?" "In the eyes of the world, I am the adopted daughter of the prime minister of the Hao Yue Empire, and I am the only daughter of the Qi family."


    "Was it because I didn''t save the heavily injured Yu Lingjing that day? Could it be that the Qi family won''t end up like this?"


    "Did you already know that I wasn''t allowed to appear in front of the world?"


    "I was wrong, I was really wrong. I shouldn''t have acted rashly, I deserve to die, it''s all my fault, if not for me, how would you all have died? "


    "I truly deserve to die. The person who deserves to die is me, and it shouldn''t be you. You didn''t do anything wrong, and the person who did it was me. Why did you all die while I didn''t? Why did you all want me to live on in this world?"


    "Don''t worry, all the people in the Qi family won''t die in vain. There will be a day when I will behead my enemy!"


    "I deserve to die, I really deserve to die ¡­"


    "I deserve to die ¡­"


    He sobbed, facing the sky, his face already full of tears from the pain. And then he shouted at the sky, "I deserve to die, I deserve to die. You let them come back.


    Although it was just a few sentences, the despair and desolation in his words were all scattered in the air.


    Perhaps it was at this moment that, from the moment Qi Shengmo saved Yu Lingjing from the hands of the killer and the annihilation of the Qi Family overnight, the trajectory of life in Qi Lan County underwent a tremendous change.


    He could not bear to see the entire Qi family in the wilderness. After burying the bodies of the entire Qi and Yu family in the ground, he kowtowed three times in front of their graves, then turned around and left in pain.


    No matter how painful and difficult it is ahead, no matter what the price is, I will avenge all of you.


    Then, a flock of crows flew out from the forest. They were the symbol of death.


    At this moment, the atmosphere in the capital was completely different.


    In the Residence of Crown Prince, when he learned that the Qi family had received the crown prince last night after his entire family had been annihilated, he could not help but feel elated. A devilish smile always hung on his face.


    Qi Shengmo, this is the price you have to pay for offending me. Are you satisfied?


    At the same time, the Residence of Regent was covered by dark clouds.


    "Your Highness, this subordinate came late to save you, please forgive me."


    When the steward of the Regent''s estate learned that the Regent had been assassinated on his way back to the capital, he blamed himself and asked the Regent for his punishment.


    "Forget it, this assassination attempt caused even This King to underestimate the crown prince. What about you? "


    Although the Regent was cold and arrogant at night, he was divided into black and white. He knew that it was none of his business, especially since the steward was his trusted aide for so many years.


    "Oh right, Your Highness, there''s another thing. It''s ¡­"


    When he saw that even the steadier of the stewards could not help but stutter, he felt that this matter was not trivial.


    "Go ahead."


    "Yes!" Last night, the Qi Family had been wiped out, not a single one of them survived. "But who knows, the Qi family''s corpse was actually buried by someone."


    Hearing this news, Yu Ling Jing could not help but feel guilty. Actually, this result should have been already decided from the moment Qi Ying won and Mo saved him, but it was a pity for the entire Qi family of the Martial Forest Family.


    "What a pity."


    When I heard the news of the destruction of the Qi family, I didn''t feel any pain in my heart. If the Qi family was exterminated, then it seems that the girl who saved me that day would be in trouble.


    "This battle is getting more and more interesting."


    The Qi family had clearly been annihilated, so who was it that buried them? Could it be that the Qi family really was like the rumours outside, that they had no children under their wing? What was the relationship between him and that girl Qi? Why did that Qi girl still save him even though she knew he was the disaster of the Qi family? Judging from her familiarity with the Qi Estate that day, she must have had a deep relationship with them, and her martial arts skills were still so high. Could she be Qi Shengmo''s adopted daughter? This was indeed strange.


    It seemed like the Qi family was not as simple as the rumors said!


    After the annihilation of the Qi family, the capital was in a state of peace. In the capital''s teahouse, on the second floor, three handsome men sat near the window. The three men were small and thin, far from being men, and instead more like women. However, although the three of them were small and delicate, they still exuded the heroic aura that men should have.


    The three youths wore plain clothes, and only used a hair band to tie up their long and elegant black hair. They gave off an elegant and refined image of a gentleman.


    One of the "men", dressed in green, sipped some tea as he gazed outside the window with his elegant eyes. After recovering, he turned to the "man" dressed in white and the "man" dressed in light blue silk and said, "The Qi family will be exterminated.


    He then looked at the white man beside him and said, "We know about your matters. Since we are on good terms, your matters are ours too. We will help you no matter what."


    He took a sip of the good quality Longjing from his white jade cup and said lightly, "However, you have to be assured about these things. You have to learn to be at ease and not be bored all day."


    The "man" who opened his mouth was precisely Ruan Qingyan who was known as "Medical Saint" and "Poison Saint". Perhaps it was because she was a medical saint and a Poison Saint, she said those words when she was tired of seeing life, death, and suffering. However, for a girl who wasn''t even twenty to be so indifferent to life and death, it could be seen how much separation she had experienced between life and death.


    Hearing her good friend Ruan Qingyan''s words, Qi Dian felt warm in her heart. Even if the Qi Family was exterminated, she could not be considered pitiful. No matter what happened, she would always have these two good friends by her side, spending time with her.


    Hearing his good friend''s advice, in order to not make his good friend worry, Qi Wanxian immediately smiled and said, "Don''t worry, I will be relieved, but the hatred will still be relieved ¡­ "After all, I am the main culprit behind the Qi family''s annihilation. Why? Why did the people from the Qi family all die, yet I was the only one left?"


    After calming down, tears were already flowing down Qi Shu''s face.


    He whimpered softly, "But, but, the one who deserves to die is me, I was reckless that day. If I didn''t save Yu Lingjing recklessly, the Qi family wouldn''t have been annihilated overnight. Do you know that the one who deserves to die is me? It''s me? It''s me! Why do you want other people to die? "


    After hearing the words of her good friend Qi Wan County and Ruan Qing Yan, Qing Mo Xue looked at her Junior Sister''s sad appearance, opened up her fan a few times, and comforted her: "We all understand, so you don''t have to mind her words, she is a person who is used to seeing life and death, her vision is still different from ours. To reach her height, you still need a few years. "


    He could not help but be worried, and then reminded him: "With our current strength, we are unable to contend against the Crown Prince. The only thing we can do is wait and create opportunities for ourselves. "Don''t worry. With the two of us here, you won''t fight alone."


    After saying this, the light blue clothed ''youth'' holding a fan smiled, as if victory was already in his hands. Indeed, for the ''female Zhuge'', where both Wu Lin and the imperial court vied over one another, this was not a difficult problem.


    After the three of them looked at each other, they understood what the other was thinking. They smiled at each other and continued to drink their tea, watching the brief peace outside the window.


    On the second floor of the teahouse, there were not only three gentle and petite "men" but also two men. When the two men saw the ''man'' sitting on the opposite table, they couldn''t help but raise the corners of their mouths. How interesting, it had been a long time since they last saw a woman with such a temperament.


    One of the two men in front was a noble and unapproachable Regent. Although he was wearing casual clothes, the cold and arrogant aura exuded from his body was enough to make the surrounding people retreat. He was still wearing a purple robe and was smiling as he looked at the white clothed Qi Shou''s figure that was facing him.


    Seeing his good friend, Yu Lingjing, looking at a woman dressed as a man like that, the official in red couldn''t help but tease: "You stand on the bridge and watch the scenery. The person watching the scenery is currently watching you from upstairs."


    He was dressed in red, his chest was halfway down his path, and his long, narrow, phoenix eyes were filled with emotion. At a glance, one could tell that this man was a man of love, and that he possessed the charm of an official''s shadow. He had a face that was even more beautiful than a woman''s.


    When the man dressed in purple heard the words spoken by the official, he cast a cold gaze at the red-clothed official. If looks could kill, officials would have died many times over by now.

 C3

    The official felt Yu Ling Jing''s cold gaze that could kill, and acted upright. He looked at Yu Ling Jing with a serious expression and said, "The three people at the table opposite us are not ordinary people. Ordinary women would not have such an imposing manner. Even if these three people were dressed in ordinary clothes, they would still not be able to conceal the high level of their martial arts skills, as well as the inner strength behind them. "


    When the purple clothed iceberg man heard the official finally say something normal, he slowly withdrew his gaze from him. He said slowly, "You finally found out. I thought you were trash."


    The three of them gave off a feeling that they were not easy to get close to. The feeling the three people gave people was the most normal and easiest to get close to, and the green-clothed person beside them gave people a kind of both charming and plain feeling, but the person who was the least approachable was the person dressed in light blue. Although her eyes looked calm, it was actually a feeling that if she wasn''t careful, she would fall into the abyss.


    Yu Lingjing thought to himself, I hope these three aren''t with the crown prince, otherwise it would be troublesome for us to deal with him. If we can get the three of them, it would be like adding wings to a tiger.


    After he finished speaking, the man turned his gaze towards the three ''men'' in front of him. Hearing Yu Ling Jing''s evaluation of him, Guan Lu Ying couldn''t help but feel angry, but he couldn''t think of anything to refute him. He could only reluctantly snort and continue to narrow his eyes at the person on the table.


    How could the three people with superb martial arts not feel the two pairs of eyes staring at them? The three of them exchanged glances, then stood up and left, coincidentally passing Yu Lingjing and Shangguan Diao Ying.


    The two felt that the three women had already discovered him, so they retracted their gazes and continued to drink their tea as if nothing had happened.


    The three women walked past the two people and silently glanced at the two people beside them. As they walked past, Qing Mo Xue, who was wearing light blue clothes, paused for a moment, and Ruo Ruo smiled as she left behind two sentences, "It''s not a good habit for the two of you to be staring at us without blinking. In addition, this short peace is about to end. I wonder what the two of you think? "


    After saying that, the three of them continued forward. However, the words of the woman in light blue made the two of them feel that they were right. The three of them were not simple people. The woman''s words just now made them feel that they were extraordinary.


    On the other hand, when the three women passed by, Yu Ling Jing''s gaze was completely focused on the woman in white in front of him, and he could not help but feel joy in his heart, this was not the woman who had saved him that day, and seeing that she was still alive, the worry in his heart lessened. However, just now, when Qi Lan had walked past him, although she had left very quickly, he could still see her reddened eyes. Looks like she should be the adopted daughter of the Qi Family''s Patriarch, Qi Shengmo.


    The official''s gaze shifted to Qing Mo Xue, who was dressed in a light blue dress.


    When Guan Ying saw Qing Mo Xue, he had always been interested in her. When he passed by, he had never once looked directly at them, nor did he look at anyone when he was speaking.


    At the highest point in the capital, an emperor sat on a yellow dragon throne. Emperor Yu Lingxuan wore a yellow dragon silk dragon robe and a dragon crown. The hanging curtain on the crown highlighted the man''s seriousness and righteousness.


    Seeing Yu Lingxuan seated on the Dragon Throne, all the ministers and princes in the hall kneeled down and shouted, "Long live the Emperor!"


    After the person on the dragon throne heard this, he only said, "Stand up." However, the anger on the face of Emperor Yu, Ling Xuan, was slowly building up. He was only missing one breath of venting.


    After the officials and princes had all reached the same level, the impatient Yu Lingxuan finally released all of his anger. He looked at the officials below with a dark face and said angrily, "I heard that my royal brother was assassinated on his way back to the capital. Shouldn''t you give us a reasonable explanation? "


    The courtiers and ministers couldn''t help but break out in cold sweat and tremble slightly when they heard the angry words of the emperor, Yu Lingxuan. Everyone knew that even though the Emperor''s younger brother, the Regent, was not born from the same mother as the Emperor, the friendship between the two was extremely deep, not to mention that the Regent was always at the border and had guarded it for several years.


    Although the people below the court were drenched in cold sweat, only the crown prince, Yu Hanfeng, and the regent, Ling Jing, were unafraid of the emperor''s wrath. He was just standing there, waiting to see what would happen next. It was understandable that the Regent, Yu Lingjing, would not be moved. And the mastermind behind all this, Yu Hanfeng, was still unmoved. It was unknown how many things he had done to deserve this.


    After seeing the people in the imperial court whispering to each other and seeing that the officials did not give a reasonable explanation, the anger in his heart flared up.


    He continued to ask angrily, "Minister of War, are you in charge of the security around the Imperial City? Could it be that you didn''t sense anything amiss? Don''t you usually have great powers and powers?


    Upon hearing the Emperor''s question, the previously standing and uneasy Minister of War felt his legs go weak. He knelt on the ground and stammered, "Emperor ¡­" Huang ¡­ Your Majesty, please forgive me. This humble subject truly did not realize that your humble subject had failed in my duty. Please forgive me, Your Majesty. "


    At the same time, all the officials kneeled down and said in unison, "Your Majesty, please forgive us."


    Seeing this, the emperor''s anger did not come up again. He waved his hand and said, "All of you, get up. The Military Department''s Minister had failed in his duties and was suspended from duty to investigate! This official shall make an example of this. "


    After dealing with the Military Department''s Minister, the Emperor looked at Yu Lingjing, who was playing the Regent in front of him. He did not feel guilty, as she was his youngest brother, who had no desire to fight, and had guarded the border for seven years at the age of twelve. Now that he was back at court, he had almost died on the road. Besides, he knew it was his son who did it.


    Thus, he opened his mouth and said, "The seven years that the Regent''s Town Hall passed have brought seven years of peace and tranquility to the dynasty.


    Gold 1000 taels, silk 1000, East China Sea night pearl, black coral and other strange treasures are heavily rewarded to the Regent. to bestow upon the regent a dragon''s whip, to knock out the emperor, and to give orders to his courtiers and officials. "


    The corner of his mouth raised slightly as he saw the emperor''s actions. He thought to himself, "My royal brother is really a protector of the calves. To be able to cover this matter up so easily, it must be the love between father and son." After hearing the emperor''s reward, he had to say, "Imperial brother is too kind. To guard the borders is to protect the family and the country. Your servant brother thanks royal brother for the gift. "


    Hearing the regent''s reply, she already knew that he still hadn''t let go. Someone said blandly, "You are not young anymore. I heard that you have an engagement with the daughter of the Zuo Xiang Clan. Since you are back now, you should arrange the marriage as soon as possible!"


    The Regent also understood in his heart that the Emperor really had deep feelings for him. How could he continue to brood over this matter? Since this is the case, I will continue acting with you two. "He then said," I''ll listen to Imperial Brother''s arrangements. "


    Hearing the reply from the Regent, Yu Lingjing, beamed. He looked at the Minister of the Left and said, "Minister of the Left, what do you think?"


    How could he have any objections? Furthermore, in the eyes of ordinary people, this was the best thing that could happen, even if they did not want to marry their only daughter, so what? Even if she was a foster daughter, even if they did not want her to join the royal battle, there was no room for negotiation. They could only agree and helplessly say: "This official has no objections, I have my own decision."


    Seeing that both sides had no objections, his mood could not help but turn good. So he said, "Okay! How long has it been since our Hao Yue Empire has had such a good occasion? Since the Regent and Minister Zuo have no objection, let''s set the date for this marriage after three months! "


    Without giving either of them any leeway, he said, "If there''s anything else for the officials, they can leave now."


    The emperor saw that his official did not do anything, so he stood up and left. When the officials saw this, they kneeled on the ground and shouted, "Long live our emperor."


    The time bomb in the hearts of the courtiers and officials could finally be put down. It was a close call this time. After the next assembly, the courtiers went to congratulate the regent and the Left Premier.


    Since the wedding date had been set, the Left Premier, who did not participate in the battle for the throne, had no choice but to join the fray. The Minister of the Left also greeted the Regent, who was walking ahead of them, and exchanged a few pleasantries.


    Not long after the Minister of the Left returned to his residence, he told his adopted daughter who was staying in his room and had no knowledge of the situation in the palace. Soon after that, the imperial edict arrived at the Residence of the Minister of the Left. After explaining everything to her daughter and seeing her daughter''s indifference, she could not help but worry that she would do something she could not bear to do.


    Just then, an elegant eunuch came into the House of the Left Premier with an imperial edict in his hand. He smiled at the Minister of the Left and said, "The imperial edict has arrived. According to the imperial edict, the Left Minister''s adopted daughter Qi Wanxian is resourceful and resourceful. I am grateful for the contributions of my two dearest officials to the Imperial Court. The two of them have the same eight characters and have the same interests. This is it! "


    Then he laughed and said, "Let''s accept the decree from the left. "Congratulations Minister Zuo, the two of them have been together for a hundred years."


    Hearing his father-in-law''s words, the Minister of the Left beamed with joy and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Thank you for your blessings. Please take a seat, Eunuch." He could only cater to the actions of the Chief Eunuch by the side of the Emperor. He couldn''t let the people around the Emperor be dissatisfied with him.


    At the same time, Qi Shu County, who was standing in the middle of the hall, went to greet him, and used a few words to smile at his father-in-law.


    When it was time to leave, the eunuch greeted the two and exchanged a few words of greeting before leaving the manor.


    Seeing her foster father in a dilemma over today''s marriage, and seeing her foster mother''s teary eyes under the imperial edict just now, Qi Wanjun stepped forward and comforted her, "Foster father, foster mother, daughter is fine. Don''t think too much about it, my foster father doesn''t need to worry about my daughter. No matter what, the daughter will protect herself. "


    Qi Wanjun, who had just experienced the pain of annihilation of his entire family, received this edict. If it was anyone else, they wouldn''t have been able to bear it, right? He had just experienced the most painful thing in the world, and now there was this wedding. Although Qi Wanxian said it was nothing, but who would really believe that this Qi Wanxian was nothing.


    Hearing his daughter''s words, both Zuo Xiang and Madam were moved. Although this daughter was not his biological daughter, she was still his biological daughter. Now that she had grown up, she knew how to comfort him and reassure him.


    As the saying goes, a thousand miles is a long way to go." It was the same for mother and daughter. After eighteen years of marriage, Madam Zuo was worried about her daughter, and they chatted for a long time.

    In the Prime Minister''s Estate, not long after, the Lord Regent''s gifts had also arrived. This betrothal gift was indeed abundant, and one could see that the Prince''s estate had such a large amount of wealth and influence. When the betrothal gift arrived at the Prime Minister''s manor, the Regent, Yu Lingjing, personally came to the Prime Minister''s manor. When the crowd saw the arrival of the Regent, Yu Lingjing, they stepped forward and said, "Greetings to the Regent. I do not know that he has come from afar to welcome us. Please forgive me."


    The Regent, Yu Lingjing, was wearing a black robe as he walked towards the Minister of the Left. However, he was looking at the daughter of the Minister of the Left, Qi Wan.


    As expected of a peerless beauty, seeing the appearance of the Minister of the Left''s daughter, Qi Liuxian, he also recognized that the daughter of the Minister of the Left was one of the three girls he met at the teahouse a few days ago, dressed in white." The three of them were not ordinary people. This man in white was the daughter of the Minister of the Left, his fiancee. The identities of the other two were also very interesting. Furthermore, this king''s fiancee was not on the same level as the crown prince. He was overjoyed.


    Ye Zichen playfully looked at Qi Shu and said with a smile, "Is young miss satisfied with this king''s betrothal gift?"


    At this time, Qi Dian saw the pain in Yu Lingjing''s heart, if she didn''t save you, how could the Qi Family be annihilated, would you dare to ask if I was satisfied with the betrothal gift?


    Qi Tong was dressed in white, her hair was also slightly tied up, her red lips moved, and her dimples appeared. Her eyebrows slightly curved, and she said with a smile: "Thank you, Regent, for your love. Your subject''s extremely grateful. " He thought to himself, with so many betrothal gifts, if there was any more dissatisfaction, wouldn''t it be a slap to the Regent''s face? Furthermore, wasn''t this Regent one of the two people from the teahouse?


    Yu Lingjing saw the Minister of the Left and Madam Minister of the Left in the blink of an eye. He asked with a smile, "Minister of the Left, can I spend some time alone with my fianc¨¦e?"


    Hearing the Regent''s words, Zuo Xiang and his wife consciously left the hall, leaving only Qi Lan and Yu Ling Jing behind. Hearing the Regent''s words, Zuo Xiang and his wife consciously left the hall, leaving Qi Lan and Yu Ling Jing behind.


    Hearing Qi Wan County''s enmity filled words, Yu Ling Jing didn''t feel angry, but instead felt a trace of happiness. He angrily asked: "My wife, this is the third time we''ve met, the first time you saved me from a knife, the second time you passed me by a teahouse disguised as a man. Looks like our fates are not shallow after all. I am unable to repay your kindness to me, so I will repay you with my body. Do you think that''s okay? "My wife."


    He could only call her ''wife'' with great affection. He gritted his teeth and said, "If I knew that saving you would cause the entire Qi Family to be exterminated, I would rather kill you myself that day to prevent you from coming out to harm others."


    Yu Lingjing, who didn''t mind, continued to smile and said, "My wife, don''t worry, you saved your husband. Your revenge is mine, I will avenge you. As for you, you just have to obediently bear my children."


    The more he heard Yu Ling Jing''s words, the angrier he became. Right now, he only wanted to chase him out of the mansion, and he opened his mouth neither hurriedly nor slowly: "The prince has also been here for a long time, is there nothing official to do?"


    Hearing Qi Wan County''s order to leave, Yu Ling Jing continued to say, "Business is not as important as your wife. Your wife, don''t be shy. I''ll come visit your wife again in a few days." "I want to leave. My wife, don''t miss me too much."


    Hearing Yu Ling Jing''s exposed words, miss you? I want you to die.


    On the second day after the regent''s marriage, the ministers in the imperial court were giving their opinions.


    The cause of this incident was the sudden downpour of a torrential rain from the southern part of the Hao Yue Empire, which not only broke through the dam, but also flooded tens of thousands of acres of fertile land in the southern part of the empire, causing heavy casualties. Because of the humid and hot weather in the south, there were some rare diseases and infectious diseases in the disaster area. This kind of situation was caused by the neglect of the officials in the disaster area, and the disaster situation had spread for a month. The people in the disaster area couldn''t even drink a bowl of porridge, and the people in the disaster area were living in deep abyss.


    During this period, the imperial government had already allocated several large sums of money to the affected areas in the south. Strangely enough, the situation in the affected areas in the south had not improved at all. In fact, it was getting more and more serious. And now, the situation in the affected areas of the south had spread to the imperial court. Although the lofty emperor had supreme power, he was still a king who loved his people like a child. Although he didn''t have the power to deal with the plight of the people of the south, he knew the hardships of the people. Therefore, in the morning court today, they gathered all the court officials to discuss how to deal with the disaster area and how to alleviate the disaster situation.


    No matter when, no matter which dynasty it was, people were the foundation of the country. Deciding on people was directly related to the stability of this regime, and if the people in the disaster area were unable to solve their problems, it was very likely that an uprising would erupt. Regardless of whether the uprising could be suppressed or not, it would still deal a heavy blow to this dynasty.


    It was for this reason that the court officials below the court all expressed their opinions on the relief in the disaster area, though there was no end to the whispers in the hall.


    "Your Majesty, this subject believes that the situation in the disaster area is getting more and more serious. The reason why the situation is so serious is probably because of the evil deeds done in the southern disaster area. This subject humbly requests the Emperor to cast a spell to expel evil from the severely damaged area and to restore peace to our country. " Minister A proposed his own solution.


    "Your Majesty, this subject believes that his words are false. This subject has never believed in the evilness of words. If it is really as he says, then doesn''t that mean every disaster can be solved just by casting a spell? But isn''t that the case? The situation in the disaster area is so serious that not only is it a natural disaster, but also a human disaster. This subject pleads that the emperor, when governing the disaster area, should also correct the management of the disaster area. " The Minister has refuted Minister A''s point of view and put forward his own.


    "Your Majesty, as the situation in the affected area became more and more serious, this subject believes that it was not that the royal doctors we sent out were useless, but that we did not find the source of the disease. "This subject has heard that the Medical Saint in the folk martial arts world has the ability to bring the dead back to life and has great medical skills. This subject would like to request the Emperor to order the people of the people to find the Medical Saint to heal the people in the affected areas." Minister C put forward his own treatment of the epidemic disease in the disaster area.


    Minister Ding: "Your Majesty, this subject thinks ¡­"


    Minister Wu: "Your Majesty, Wu Chen thinks..."


    The ministers spoke one sentence at a time. Although they all had their reasons, in the end, it was only one aspect, or perhaps the possibility of it was too small. The emperor turned his gaze to the crown prince, Yu Hanfeng, and the regent, Yu Lingjing, who had not spoken during this period. So he said blandly, "Alright, I already know about your governance. I wonder what the Crown Prince and Royal Brother have to say about the governance of this disaster area? I also really want to know how you two will govern. "


    Hearing the emperor''s words, Yu Hanfeng, as crown prince, took a step forward and cupped his hands, "Imperial Father, this son believes that all the ministers have a point. Even though the situation in the disaster area is becoming more and more apparent, it is still the same as before.


    When the high and mighty Emperor Yu Lingxuan heard the words of the Crown Prince Yu Hanfeng, he couldn''t help but frown. However, other than the Regent, no one else had noticed such a small movement. The emperor was worried. The crown prince''s ability to control the cold wind seemed ordinary.


    After hearing the crown prince''s suggestion, the emperor''s gaze turned to the calm and collected Regent Yu Lingxuan and continued, "My royal brother, the crown prince told me of his method. What about yours?"


    Hearing the emperor''s question, Yu Ling Jing paused for a moment, and then said: "Your majesty, younger brother''s thoughts are completely different from the crown prince''s. The situation in the disaster area became more and more serious. Not only is there the problem of natural disasters, but also the problem of our governance. Let''s first talk about the illness in the disaster area, we have never seen or heard of such a disease. If we continue to follow the previous treatment methods, not only will the final result not improve, it will even develop in the opposite direction. The number and amount of funds allocated by the imperial government to the disaster area should be enough to solve the problems of the people in the disaster area, but the result was that the people in the disaster area could not even drink a bowl of porridge. This fully illustrated the flaws in the use of funds by the officials in the disaster area and the problems in the administration of officials in the disaster area. If we do not solve the problem of government officials in the disaster area, it will be very difficult to solve the disaster situation. "


    He then continued, "Therefore, my younger brother believes that in solving the epidemic situation in the affected area, we should seek help from the people, and the people who are known as medical saints are also the people we should seek help from. In the case of the administration of the disaster area, we should select the wise and able to re-dispatch honest men from the imperial court to supervise the administration of the disaster area, and at the same time, we should seek the capable and unorthodox from the people to help us solve the disaster situation. "


    It seemed that this royal brother of his had been training at the border for the past few years, and his ability to govern the country could be said. He did not feel happy in his heart, it seemed that not all the people in this imperial court were trash.


    The Crown Prince, Yu Hanfeng, upon hearing the suggestion of the Regent, Yu Lingjing, sneered and slowly said, "Royal Uncle, is there really no one else in the imperial court? To go to the commoners and look for the capable and unusual, is this an indication that the quality of the officials of the imperial court is declining? "


    Emperor Yu Ling Xuan and the Regent Yu Ling Jing shook their heads at Yu Feng''s retorts. Yu Ling Jing thought to himself, "Idiot, if the Crown Prince Yu Feng is smart, he shouldn''t retort. With this retort, his stupidity will be exposed to the court officials. Although Yu Hanfeng was the crown prince and his mother was the queen, that didn''t mean that the position of the crown prince wouldn''t change. For the sake of Haoyue''s people, the future ruler of Haoyue definitely wasn''t such a fool.


    Yu Lingjing glanced at Yu Hanfeng and explained in a neither hurried nor slow manner: "Looking for help from the common people does not mean that the talent of the imperial court is declining, but instead gives the common people a sense that the Hao Yue Empire sympathizes with the common people and treats the common people as its basis. Moreover, the talented people in the people had their own reasons to survive. They could feel the suffering of the people in the disaster area and think for the people in the disaster area. This way, the situation in the affected areas will be resolved more quickly. "


    Yu Lingxuan, who was sitting on the dragon throne, did not want to see a ''quarrel'' between the crown prince Yu Hanfeng and the regent, so he said, "Enough! I felt that the method of the Regent was indeed feasible, and I was also deeply impressed, so I followed the method of the Regent to cure the disaster area. "Retreat!"


    The crown prince was obviously at a disadvantage in the fight between the Imperial Cold Wind and the Imperial Cold Wind Palace over how to govern the disaster area. As he retreated, he saluted and left. From his back, one could tell that he was not satisfied. When Yu Lingjing, who was behind him, saw the look on Yu Hanfeng''s face, she sneered and thought in her heart, ''Truthfully, This King has overestimated you and can''t even deal with this kind of situation. I really don''t know, besides being vicious enough to make This King look up to you, what else can make This King look up to you.

    In the southern flood-affected area, there was a simple shack. A group of people wearing tattered clothing were waiting in line for a doctor. Not a single one of the victims in line did not show pain or want to die. They were the victims of the plague in the disaster area; they were small, bent, and did not have the strength to walk with their backs straight. They were so skinny that one could not help but feel sorry for them when they saw how thin they were. People who were capable of eating were, even if their lives weren''t rich, not people who couldn''t even afford a meal like now, or even the grass and roots. This sudden continuous torrential rain, this sudden flood, had taken away many innocent lives.


    In the grass hut, two young girls, green and blue, were busily working in the grass hut. The young girl dressed in green was the so-called Junior Sister Zhuge, Qi''er, and the blue girl who was checking the pulse of the victims was the "Medical Saint" Ruan Qingyan who was on the court looking for the people.


    These two girls had met and chatted with Qi Rui at the teahouse. Because these two strange people left early, after they left, they immediately rushed to the southern disaster area to save the victims. The two of them weren''t like the rumours in the outside world, cold and proud, cold and lonely. Their hearts also held great love for the world.


    The blue-clothed girl was currently in the midst of treating the victims in line. The green-clothed girl was repeatedly grabbing the medicines and handing them one by one to the victims. In addition to the medicines, the green-clothed girl was also brewing the medicines on the side, directly distributing them to the seriously ill victims. In the middle of this bustling shack were two famous people from the Wu Lin Cauldron who were trying to cure the victims.


    In order to break the bustling atmosphere, the azure-dressed girl Qi Dian looked at Ruan Qingyan who was taking her pulse, and jokingly said: "Everyone says that the epidemic situation in this disaster area is constantly spreading, since you and I are so close to the victims, of course you aren''t afraid of being infected as a medical saint, you have already been immune to poisons, but I''m different from you, what if it spreads to me? Shouldn''t you give me something to avoid this disaster? "


    Ruan Qingyan who was checking her pulse heard the teasing from Qi Hui County, and continued to check the pulse of the victims, and slowly said: "I am indeed immune to poisons, but you are not weak, your senior sister is a female Zhuge, are you, a female junior sister of Zhuge, waiting for me to prepare something for you to escape? "Besides, don''t think that I don''t know what you''re wearing. Didn''t you happen to help you avoid that gold-threaded jade sweater?"


    When Qi Lang heard Ruan Qingyan''s words, he thought to himself, I knew that you wouldn''t help me prepare. If I hadn''t prepared it myself, wouldn''t I have been infected long ago? Thus, the azure-dressed girl continued to boil the medicine. She looked at the increasingly rare medicinal herbs and slowly said: "But Qingyan, the situation is getting more and more serious, the number of victims is increasing, and our number of medicinal herbs is also becoming fewer and fewer. These medicinal herbs are not enough for us to sustain for a few days."


    When Ruan Qingyan, who was checking her pulse, heard Qi Shu''s words, she also felt the helplessness in her words. When Ruan Qingyan, who was checking her pulse, heard Qi Shu''s words, she also felt the helplessness in her words. In the blink of an eye, he looked at Qi Wan County, who was currently refining the medicine, and slowly said, "Indeed, these herbs really can''t save many people!"


    In the blink of an eye, she continued, "However, your Senior Sister is a female Zhuge. As a martial arts female, Junior Sister Zhuge, you don''t need to wait for Qing Mo Xue to come. You should be able to solve the problem with these medicinal herbs, right?"


    Qi Wan County, who continued to boil the medicine, did not look at Ruan Qingyan, but lowered her head and stared at the medicine that was currently boiling in front of her. In the air, a strong smell of soup was emitted, and she slightly opened her mouth and said: "There is indeed a way, but this time''s method is indeed not too open and honorable." After saying this, Qi Lang''s cherry red lips slightly rose, and her eyes also exposed a bright light of calculation. Although his schemes weren''t as good as his own Senior Sister Qing Mo Xue''s, to solve such a small problem, he didn''t need his Senior Sister to step in and solve it himself.


    No matter what happened, this martial arts woman Zhuge Liuyun would always be able to think of a way to deal with it, but this Qi Lan was the same, even now it was the same. Although Qing Mo Xue did not have the foresight and foresight to do this, but in this situation, she did not need Qing Mo Xue at all. Hearing her words, he could roughly guess how she was going to resolve this matter. It was just that the situation was more serious than before, and the imperial merchant group on the way wasn''t trash either. No matter how high her martial arts skills were, it wouldn''t be an easy task for her to deal with so many people.


    Ruan Qing Yan looked at Qi Wan County''s calculating gaze and said worriedly: "This time, the person is not ordinary, don''t force him. Do you want me to go with you? "


    Listening to Ruan Qing Yan''s words, Qi Shu knew that she was worried, but even if she failed this time, if I went alone, there would still be one left to save the victims. If I captured both of them, wouldn''t the poor victims have to wait for death? He pretended to be displeased and spoke to Ruan Qingyan unhappily: You''re going? Do you want to give me any trouble? Besides, what if you go with these people? Also, aren''t you underestimating my martial arts too much? It''s better if you just obediently stay here and heal your victims. I''ll take care of the matter of the medicinal materials. "


    Ruan Qing Yan, who was standing to the side, naturally knew of Qi Shu County''s intentions, but because of this, she was even more worried. However, her eyebrows were knitted tightly, and her face did not show any expression.


    Qi Shu County, who was brewing medicine at the side, heard these words, but didn''t say anything. She only quietly waited for night to descend.


    At this time, she just so happened to be the most suitable time to be a "gentleman above the beam". Thus, she changed out of the blue dress she had worn during the day and changed into the night clothes that she hadn''t worn in a long time. She covered her face with a veil, performed her light arts slightly, and flew towards the direction of the royal merchant caravan led by Shangguan Zongying!


    Qi Shu County looked at the majestic imperial merchant group and the goods they were shipping and felt a burst of unwillingness in his heart. ''You noble officials of the capital, you princes, you would be able to enjoy life, but the pity is that the commoners in the disaster area, no matter how rich your lives are, your lives are just too pitiable.


    Thus, some smoke was blown into the tents where all the people were sleeping, causing them to fall into a deep sleep. Just as Qi Wan County was about to blow smoke towards the tent where the official''s shadow was located, the official''s shadow within the tent had already discovered the traces of Qi Wan County.


    Qing Mo Xue thought that they had already successfully entered Qi Lang Country, so she unrestrainedly walked towards the imperial merchant, telling him that all the goods were already tied to the horse she had just woken up. With just a light pat, all the goods would leave, and all the horses would take them to where they were supposed to go. Just when Qing Mo Xue thought that she was about to succeed, she suddenly felt a trace of cold air behind her, and guessed that the person behind her was an official. That''s right, he had thought that the shadow of the government office would be enchanted by this small cloud of smoke. He hadn''t thought that it would be an act, but it didn''t look too highly on him.


    After knowing who the person behind him was, Qi Tong lightly smiled, and leisurely said in a neither hurried nor slow manner, "It''s been hard on you, and you''ve faked it for so long and looked at it for so long. Don''t you feel very tired?"


    The majority of her hair was unrestrained and unrestrained. After hearing Qing Mo Xue''s words, he thought to himself, this woman is really interesting, she obviously came here to steal things, yet she said it so boldly and brazenly, just like how these things were originally hers, isn''t she a little shameless? That pair of long and narrow eyes of hers, especially those red eyes that had always been staring at Qi Wan county, had a hint of playfulness in them as she said: "I don''t think that looking at a beauty late at night is a very tiring matter."


    Hearing the teasing voice of the official, he coldly snorted and said, "You are in such a good mood. You can''t sleep in the middle of the night. Why don''t I send you on your way?" He quickly turned around and shot the silver needle in his sleeve at the shadow of the official''s house. At the same time, he waved his other hand to wave his horse, which was full of goods. By the time the shadow of the official''s house dodged the silver needle, the horses were already far away. Qi Lun could not help but let out a sigh of relief in her heart when she saw the horses leave. If the goods left, would she be able to leave? Even if he couldn''t escape, he could still save the victims.


    The officer who dodged the silver needles saw the goods leaving and knew that he wouldn''t be able to catch up with them. However, it would be good if he could keep them. Seeing Qi Wan County was about to leave, he said, "Beauty, you stole my goods, do you want to leave like this yourself? You won''t leave me anything worth remembering? "


    Qi Lang, who was at the side, heard these shameless words from the official, and said at a moderate pace, "Whether you want to leave something behind, or leave something behind, will depend on your own ability!" After he finished speaking, he pulled out the flexible sword from his waist with lightning speed and waved it towards the smiling face of the official, who then took out the fan in his hand to deal with the enemy.


    In the dark night, the fight between red and black was getting fiercer and fiercer. The sword qi of Qi Hui County was getting sharper and sharper, and the moves that the official Dian Ying used to fan were also becoming more and more murderous. In the darkness of the night, under the blowing wind, the two of them were clearly engaged in a life and death battle. From afar, they looked more like two people flying in the air, and the life and death battle between the two looked more like the tacit understanding of two people dancing together.


    And in the few hundred moves between the two of them, even though the Qi between them was becoming more and more dangerous, the official still did not forget to be romantic, and still shamelessly teased Qi Lin County, truly an unrestrained and unrestrained "love seed", as the saying goes, even ghosts under a peony flower would be unrestrained, but didn''t this coincidentally mean that they were not afraid to tease the officials of Qi Yi County?

 C6

    And Qi Wan County''s feeling towards the official''s shadow was, "It''s best if I don''t see you again, or else I really want to castrate you with a single stab." Hearing that he was being flirted with by the official, Qi Shu County became more and more angry, and following that, the moves he released became more and more murderous. However, Qi Wan County saw that the two of them had not been able to get to a conclusion for a long time, so they decided to quickly retreat. If they waited until the effects of the bewitching effect had passed, then he really wouldn''t be able to deal with so many people. Originally, I wanted to openly fight with you, but now, it seems that I have to play a trick. If you want to blame something, you can only blame yourself.


    After the official shadow became a silver needle, Qi''er kicked him in the foot, drew a sword on his body, and then turned around and left. When he was about to disappear into the darkness, he said to the official shadow who was standing on the ground: "Many thanks for the courtesy, Sir!"


    After Qi Wan County left, the smile on Guan Ying''s face became more and more obvious, showing the charm of a man. This woman''s voice was exactly the same as the woman''s voice at the teahouse, the two of them were completely the same person. It was interesting that the two of them could meet in such a way. Moreover, in the battle between the two today, he didn''t use his full strength, yet that woman was actually able to fight evenly with him. This was indeed rare, after all, in this world, besides Yu Lingjing, there weren''t many people who could compete with him within a few hundred moves. I''m really looking forward to when and how we''ll meet again!


    After that, the official left the place where the two were fighting. They wanted to go to their own tents.


    The morning of the second day after Qi Wan County stole the imperial merchandise. The sun had just risen, and the morning mist had yet to disperse. The dew in the surroundings in the morning was also a drop of pearl of the same name. The sun had just risen up and was already reflected back. The sunlight penetrated through the crystal clear dewdrops, appearing exceptionally enchanting. And at this very moment, this place gave off a faintly discernible feeling, making those who came here feel as if they had arrived in paradise.


    At this moment, the early morning was quiet, as was the tranquility. One could even hear the chirping of birds in the mountains. Even with such a beautiful scene and such a tranquil atmosphere, she still cried out, "This is bad, the goods have disappeared!" It was broken, although this matter was within the expectations of the officials, only the officials knew. The others had been brought into the dreamscape by the smoke last night, and they were still sleeping soundly, so much so that they hadn''t even heard the sound of two people fighting. It could be seen how much smoke Qi Xi had used to stun the people in her imperial merchant group.


    Early in the morning, a boy who had just woken up was about to check the goods and the horses that were pulling them in as usual, but when he got to his original place, he discovered that the horses and the goods were all gone. This was unprecedented in the situation, moreover, this thing had disappeared, and he could not bear the responsibility of it disappearing.


    After all, no one dared to intercept the goods belonging to the Guan Family. Although the Guan Family was an imperial merchant, the goods they were transporting were basically delivered privately, and the Guan Family was rich, so the disappearance of all the things in one night was unheard-of. Everyone was startled by the disappearance of the item, afraid that if they were not careful, the crime would fall onto their heads.


    So the man who led the goods reported this morning and what he had seen this morning to the official in the open, trembling with fear. When the servant came to the tent of the official, he saw that the official was lying on the bed of the imperial concubine. He used his hand to support his head and when he saw the servant that had entered, he said slowly, "I heard that the goods and horses that we were transporting are all gone?" Although this was within his expectations, he still had to put on an act in regards to this matter.


    When the attendant who had just entered heard the question of his master, Sikong Ying, his legs trembled as he knelt on the ground. His entire body was trembling and his body was trembling.


    He stuttered, "Yes ¡­" This morning... This morning, little... Image... Check the goods and horses as usual, and this morning, little people... When I get there... "Then..." I''ve already discovered that... Goods... The goods were gone. Small... I deserve to die ¡­ Please forgive me, Master. " Although their master said that she was usually free and unrestrained, she always liked to joke around.


    He loved to flirt with beauties, but he was never ambiguous about his own business and his own interests. Now that such a big thing had happened, it would be strange if the master, Sikong Ying, didn''t get angry. He was already prepared to be scolded to death.


    When the half-reclining, half-exposed, official''s shadow saw the trembling and stammering servant in front of him, he suddenly felt that he had raised a bunch of trash. He didn''t even know when he had been drugged, nor when he had slept until the next day, and he was so scared when he saw that something was gone. Seeing how scared that manservant was, if he were to get angry with him again, wouldn''t he be scared to death? He waved his hand at the manservant and helplessly said, "Alright, I understand. You can go now!"


    After hearing his master''s words, he thought he had misheard. He was still kneeling there motionlessly. Could it be that his master''s personality had changed? In the past, if he knew that his interests were hurt, no matter who the other party was, he would never let them off easy. But now, with so many goods in front of him, it could be called a sky-high price, but his master was actually so generous and did not pursue the matter any further.


    The official saw that the person kneeling there did not make a move and sneered: "Are you still not leaving? You like to kneel so much? If you want to kneel, go out and kneel, don''t get in the way of my eyes! " Hearing his master''s words, those people who were kneeling on the ground couldn''t help but break out in cold sweat. Looking at his dark face, they fearlessly said, "But master, the disaster area is right in front of us, we don''t know whether master should go forward or not." This sentence was basically said very carefully.


    The already dark face of the official, Sikong Ying, glanced at that person and then coldly said, "Since everyone has come, of course we have to go and take a look." Hearing his master''s words, he couldn''t help but to remind him, "But ¡­ but in front of us is a heavily affected area, and the disease is spreading." The official''s face that was already dark became even darker after hearing the attendant''s words. He said impatiently, "Is there anything else?" If you have nothing to do, then scram, don''t be an eyesore here! " Currently, the officials really wanted to know if he had raised a bunch of useless people, a bunch of useless people.


    After hearing his master''s impatient voice, the person kneeling on the ground immediately rolled away. For him, the storm had finally passed and his head was safe. At this time, the government official also wanted to visit this so-called disaster area in the south. As for the matter of the goods being stolen, the store owner thought that it must be related to the disaster area. He had to go and see for himself what exactly his goods were used for in the disaster area.


    At the same time, in the disaster area, Ruan Qingyan, who was checking her pulse, finally felt relieved when she saw Qi Dian return in the early morning. As long as the goods weren''t important, it would be good as long as he came back, after all, the Shangguan family, especially the current Patriarch, was not someone to be trifled with. Seeing Qing Mo Xue who had returned, Ruan Qing Yan could not help but smile. Qi Wanli saw that Ruan Qingyan was smiling, and he himself also responded. Perhaps this was the mutual understanding between good friends after so many years. A single smile could represent the other party''s thoughts and understand the other party''s heart.


    To Qing Mo Xue who had returned successfully and even took away all the goods and horses to exchange for medicine, after returning, she naturally had to tell her good friend Ruan Qing Yan to show off. But before that, she had to tease Ruan Qing Yan first. He pretended to be dejected and said, "Damn it, unrestrained official. This time, the goods that he had already obtained were taken back by him!" Hearing Qi Wan County''s grumbling, Ruan Qingyan put down the patient who was in the midst of her diagnosis, walked up and comforted him: "Just be content with yourself, you''re still alive!" After hearing what Ruan Qingyan had said, the playfulness that had just arisen had disappeared. As expected, it was never suitable to joke around with Ruan Qingyan.


    Turning his head and holding Ruan Qingyan''s hand, he smiled and said: "Alright, alright, stop worrying, didn''t I come back well? Moreover, I even brought sufficient food and medicinal herbs with me. What''s more, what in this world can''t be obtained after my Qi and Wan Prefecture has made its move? " Hearing Qi Wanli''s words, Ruan Qingyan already knew about the burglary last night. She had succeeded in Qi Wanli County and was able to steal things from under the nose of the officials. She might as well change her name to "Thief."


    After a while, Qi Wan County finally finished showing off last night''s achievements. After a moment of silence, Ruan Qingyan helplessly looked at her and said indifferently: "Since you''ve been through so much, then hurry up and boil some medicine. Don''t just stand here and do nothing!" After Qi Wan County made a face at her, she knew that she wouldn''t let me have time to rest. Forget it, just boil the medicine, I have plenty of energy now anyway. The two of them continued as before. One of them had a pulse diagnosis while the other had medicine concocted.


    The news he had heard from the imperial government was that the epidemic situation was spreading at a very common rate. It seemed that these officials liked to report the news without retaliation, and their ability to resolve small problems had already reached such a level. If it wasn''t for him coming here to take a look today, he might never have known the true situation of these people in the southern region, and he also knew about the reason why that woman stole the news last night.

 C7

    Standing there, the official looked around and saw a grass shack, a group of people queuing up, and a girl dressed in green who was currently brewing medicine. Although he could only see the back of the girl, he was certain that the girl in cyan who was brewing medicine was the same person from last night, the arrogant woman who was also at the teahouse.


    The situation of the commoners here was eye-catching, but the most eye-catching thing was the blue girl''s back. Thus, the official walked quickly towards the grass hut. After entering the grass hut, the blue clothed lady, Ruan Qing Yan, who was checking her pulse, and the green clothed lady, Qi Shu County, who was concocting medicine were also startled, and the two of them were in a completely different mood. As far as Ruan Qing Yan was concerned, no matter who you are, as long as you don''t cause trouble in my territory, there will definitely not be any quarrels or fights. If you don''t have eyes, then don''t blame me for being rude.


    Even if she stole something from him last night, he didn''t need to chase her east to the disaster area, right? Wasn''t this person''s brain a little abnormal, and this was really a response to the words of someone who was at odds with her? Perhaps it was because of his guilt, but although Qi Lang continued to boil medicine, he did not look at the unscrupulous official who was standing there.


    Since you didn''t come to look for me, then I will go to look for you. The official walked to the front of Qi Wan County and bowed, then said, "This lady looks a little familiar. Have we met before?" Qi Wan County saw the actions of the official and inwardly cursed ''hypocrite''. He was clearly a sentimental type, but now he was pretending to be a refined and refined gentleman. However, he still forced a smile and said, "Is Young Master seeing wrong? How come I don''t remember meeting with Young Master before?" If you want to pretend you don''t know me, you are still far from me, so you continued to say with an apologetic tone, "I have overstepped myself, but I saw a person who looked like this lady on the second floor of the teahouse and near the disaster area last night.


    He never thought that this person would still remember and would actually look down on him. However, Qi Wan County did not have any expression of surprise on his face, and continued to smile and say gently: "Since young master recognized the wrong person, then please quickly leave. This is a disaster area, and the disease is severe, if young master gets infected, then young master will lose too!" However, it was not that easy, so he said, "Thank you for the lady''s good intentions, but you two girls are not afraid of being infected here, how can I, a dignified man, back down? I''m outside, if there''s anything you need, just tell me."


    After he finished speaking, he did not give Qing Mo Xue another chance to refute and left. At this moment, Qi Wan County was angry to the point that his teeth were itching. Kind of a reminder, since you won''t listen, then don''t blame me for not saving you even if you get infected with an epidemic disease!


    The official frowned as he looked at the wailing commoners. However, he couldn''t help but curse the officials of the imperial court who had just lost their lives. He had to submit a book to them.


    "I think we''ll have to stay here for a few days. Find a place to stay." He seemed to be muttering to himself, but his tone also contained an unbreakable, domineering air. It was very different from the sloppy, sloppy look he usually had. When his subordinate heard this, he bowed slightly and quickly retreated.


    Ruan Qingyan fed the medicine to the patient, and when she got up, she saw the frowning face of Shangguan Siying. It seemed like he was also concerned about the common folk, but he was even more beautiful than a girl.


    Sensing that someone was staring at him, his eyebrows twitched. He turned around and only saw the back of someone dressed in blue. He shook his head and saw that Qi Shu and the others had no intention of looking for him. He felt that he was asking for trouble, so he smiled and shook his head.


    "Mistress, the house has been found." A servant said obediently.


    The official nodded his head. He glanced at the shabby thatched cottage, then turned around and left.


    He had to admit that the efficiency of his subordinates was extremely high. Within a short period of time, he found a house for him in this chaotic disaster area. However, this house was obviously abandoned and was completely empty. Other than tables and chairs, there was nothing else of value. However, this was to be expected. In the face of such a natural disaster, the wealthiest people could run away, but most of them had already run away. It would be strange if they didn''t move all their belongings.


    "Mistress, I''ve already spoken with the local officials about this house. Although the conditions are a bit poor, it''s still the best that can be found. You can have it!" "The servant lowered his head and spoke respectfully. "Also, the magistrate said that a banquet will be held at home, please pay attention to where you are going."


    When the official heard this, the disdain in his eyes was not concealed at all. The commoners were suffering, but the county magistrate was still in the mood to arrange a banquet to please the imperial merchant. This was indeed a good official.


    The bowing subordinates could feel the cold air radiating from their master''s body. It seemed like the county magistrate was in for a ride of misfortune.


    After he finished bathing, he changed into a set of dark colored clothes. The dark colored clothes did not suppress his beauty and instead gave him a mysterious feeling.


    He performed his Qing Gong and landed together. In a moment, he arrived at the place where he met Qi Wanjun and the others during the day. Through the paper window, he could see the dim light of an oil lamp inside the room. It seemed that the two girls were still busy with their work here. He symbolically knocked on the door, and a moment later, pushed it open and walked in.


    Qi Wan County and the others had long since heard the sound, and from the sound of the footsteps, they already knew that it was from a martial artist. Moreover, the most likely person to come to this place was this scoundrel. Qi Wanjun rolled her eyes at the shadow of the official in front of her. She had been busy the whole day today, so she didn''t have the time to fight with the shadow of the official in front of her. As for Ruan Qingyan, she did not have any reaction. She half-knelt on the ground and carefully wiped the face of the patient who was lying on the mat. Guan Yuanzhong looked at the gentle side of Ruan Qingyan''s face and wondered who she was. Qi Dian, who had stopped to rest, noticed the gaze of the official on Ruan Qingyan and was annoyed again.


    "You scoundrel, look over there, don''t even think about getting my Qingyan. Just like you, the flower heart big radish, a toad wants to eat swan meat." In fact, Qi Wanli knew that the official was not a simple lecher. She felt that he was actually investigating Ruan Qingyan, so she pretended to be ignorant and tried to interrupt him.


    Hearing this, the official raised his eyebrows, Qingyan? This name was not bad, it had a taste, and it even sounded very familiar. While he was thinking, he turned around and smiled at Qi Wanshi with a devilish smile. Qi Wanshi felt as if all the goosebumps on his body were about to rise.


    "Yes, yes, yes. Such a heartless girl, how could a scoundrel like me be worthy of her. However, how did you, a female hero, get together with her?" The tone of the official''s voice was strange and full of sarcasm.


    "Go out." Qi Wanjun slammed the table, causing the already tattered table to completely fall apart.


    Ruan Qingyan also stood up and said to the official, "Sir, it''s better if you leave. We still have to take care of the patient." The polite words were in an irresistible tone, and his eyes shone with a sharp light.


    The shadow officer did not have the mood to continue to bicker with them. He turned around and left the house. With a leap, he stood on the tree outside the house and looked at the moon.


    Jiya ~ Qi Lan opened the door and stretched.


    "It''s finally time to call it a day ¡­" She raised her head and looked at the sky. The moon tonight was really round!


    The corner of Ruan Qingyan''s mouth raised into a smile.


    "You''re finally out." A frivolous voice came from the tree.


    Hearing this, the two girls'' faces couldn''t help but darken. They didn''t even notice that there was someone on the tree. It seemed that this man was even more unfathomable than they had imagined. Qi Wan County also began to suspect whether the previous successful theft had been caused by his own strength, or by the fact that the official had purposely let him off the hook. However, why did he let him go?


    "I felt that it was really inappropriate for the two ladies to return home late at night, so I waited here to escort the two of you." The shadow official said with a straight face and a sincere expression.


    However, in Qi and Wan Prefecture''s eyes, no matter how much the official said, she still felt that it was fake. "We will stay nearby. We don''t need to send you off ¡­" She pulled Ruan Qing Yan''s hand, no longer planning to act arrogantly.


    Other than feeling somewhat shocked in the beginning, the expression on Ruan Qingyan''s face did not change at all. She had an indifferent expression.


    Of the two girls, one was the Poison Saint and the other was a female hero and a female thief. The shadow of the government official was leaning against a tree as he looked at the two girls with interest. He couldn''t help but reveal a satisfied smile on his face.


    In fact, when he heard the two words "Qing Yan", he remembered the legendary Medical Saint, but he never thought that this Medical Saint was really young and beautiful, he had always thought that he was an old lady. However, who was that female thief? When he had time, he still needed to send someone to investigate. Even though he didn''t even know her name, this kind of investigation was easy for him.


    Qi Wan County only felt that the shadow of the official''s face was full of smiles as he pulled Ruan Qingyan along and left.


    Seeing this, the other officials also followed at a moderate pace.


    Qi Wan County felt that this man was extremely bored and continued to pretend that they hadn''t seen him.


    In less than a few steps, they arrived at her house. In order to make it convenient for her to take care of the patients, they had no choice but to stay here.


    The official looked at the dilapidated house and frowned.


    Ladies, I''m afraid this isn''t a good place to stay. How about going to my residence? It''s not a good place, but it''s at least a hundred times better than yours." The tone of the official''s voice was filled with the bearing of a gentleman.


    Qi Wan prefecture acted as if he didn''t hear anything and was about to enter the house.


    Ruan Qingyan who had been silent suddenly spoke up.


    "Young master, if you have something to say, just say it. There''s no need to beat around the bush like that." His ice-cold voice floated gently in the night wind.


    "Qing Yan!" Qi Wan County was not stupid, but she was very disgusted by the official''s unrestrained appearance and didn''t want to talk to him too much.


    The corners of Shangguan Siying''s mouth curled up slightly. He had to admit that he liked dealing with smart people.

 C8

    "Since it''s like this, I won''t say much. However, I don''t want to stay in this small broken house of yours." So please take a seat in the winter house. " There was a smile on his face, but his eyes were filled with determination.


    "Alright." Qi Wan County softly replied. Ruan Qing Yan glanced at Qi Shu County and remained silent.


    The shadow of the official''s office retracted its gaze and a bright smile appeared on its face. Looks like this Qi Hui county is also quite smart and bold.


    "Then two ladies, please!"


    The shadow of the official''s house was half lying on the chair, his eyes shining brightly.


    "I heard that this is only a minor outbreak in the imperial government. Looking at it today, it looks completely different. It''s time for the imperial government to clean up."


    "The prelude is enough." Qi Wan County was a bit impatient.


    "Alright, I''d like to ask you two to describe the situation of the disaster zone. I''d like to request that the both of you play His Majesty."


    "Oh ~" Qi Wan County thought for a bit, just relying on their voluntary contributions didn''t help this disaster area much, she still had to rely on the government to help. Although she hated some people from the imperial family to the bone, she didn''t want to kill them all. Moreover, this commoner''s life was more important than her family''s revenge. There was no need to delay the commoners for her sake.


    "When we first arrived, the outbreak was very serious. The magistrate also said that it had already been reported to the imperial government, allowing the citizens to wait quietly. The commoners came to the county magistrate, and every time, the magistrate would have all sorts of excuses to send them off. In the end, the epidemic became even worse, and Qing Yan and I were on our own. All the rich who could run here had run away, while the county magistrate had simply closed the door. He had really done it to not hear a word of what was going on outside, and had wholeheartedly lived his days of comfort ¡­ " As he spoke up to here, Qi Wan couldn''t help but tighten the cup in her hand, drink a mouthful of tea, and no longer speak.


    "The materials we brought have been used up very quickly, that''s why we came up with such a plan. I hope you don''t mind." "Yes." Ruan Qingyan answered coldly. However, since young master is rich and imposing, I presume that you don''t care too much about it! " Ruan Qingyan''s words changed the subject as a sense of foreboding inexplicably rose in Shangguan Siying''s heart.


    "The Shangguan family is an imperial merchant, they are wealthy in the world. It is said that the property of the family is no less than that of the treasury. Saving a life is just a small matter." Qi Wan County said leisurely.


    The official also immediately understood the other party''s intentions.


    "Naturally, before the policy of the imperial court comes to an end, I will contribute money to the rescue of the people."


    "Is it just for this period of time?" Ruan Qingyan''s voice was ice-cold.


    "Of course, the matter of the people is the matter of the Son of Heaven, so we can''t interfere too much in it."


    Ruan Qingyan''s eyes instantly darkened. Qi Dian lightly coughed, and she finally reacted. Even though the emperor''s merchant house was as wealthy as a kingdom, if they interfered too much in this matter, it would be filled with people trying to curry favor with the people. No matter what, the emperor''s merchant house was just a rich people, there were many people who were jealous of the emperor''s family. It was already good that the merchants were willing to support them during this period of time.


    "Thank you very much." Qi Wan County got up and paid his respects to the magistrate.


    "Please take care, both of you." The shadow of the official turned back into a frivolous face, completely devoid of the solemnity with which he had begun the conversation.


    Seeing the two figures disappear at the door, the expression in the official''s eyes deepened.


    "Prepare some ink and pens for me." The official''s voice was low.


    "Recently, the grass citizens'' goods have been robbed. Later on, we found out that there was someone doing it for disaster relief ¡­" The official wrote down the details with great seriousness. He had actually perfectly revealed the details of the disaster area. He had also done his best to show his sincerity towards the emperor. No matter how much he loved his people, the emperor couldn''t help but be suspicious.


    "I hope His Majesty can send people to rescue the disaster as soon as possible." Putting down the brush, the servant hurriedly put away the letter and sent someone to deliver it to the capital.


    The shadow of the government office stood by the window. A cool breeze blew past, bringing with it a faint smell of decay. He closed the window, turned around, and in the blink of an eye, was on the bed.


    Even the sun had dimmed in the early morning of the disaster area.


    As the official walked through the empty streets, the wailing patients were placed in their own rooms. However, the faint sounds of pain that came from within were equally heart-wrenching. He frowned and walked forward quickly.


    The shadow of the government official was leaning on the door as he watched the two of them bustling about in Qi Wan County. He had a relaxed and carefree expression on his face, and didn''t have the slightest intention of helping them.


    "There are good houses here too, why do you have to stay in them ¡­" The official was a bit depressed. This shabby house was too lacking in quality.


    "Those big houses are all for the patients, so we can only stay here. Moreover, this place is located at the center of the ward, so it''s more convenient to take care of the patients."


    He did not look up as he squatted by the fire, fanning the wind as he spoke, but when he heard the patient''s groans of pain, he quickly turned around to inspect it.


    Ruan Qingyan turned around and looked at Shangguan Dian. She threw the white cloth in her hand towards him and the official store caught it. They could not help but smile, this woman had some skill, her strength was quite strong. Then, he imitated Ruan Qing Yan''s action of covering his face with a white cloth, revealing only a pair of peach blossom eyes, which flowed with light.


    Qi Wan County had always disregarded his attitude. Even though she knew that he was not a bad person, her first impression of him had made her unable to bring up any good feelings towards him.


    "Let me help ¡­" Because of the white cloth, the voice of the official became even more magnetic. When the two girls heard this, they couldn''t help but be stunned. It was very abnormal for a noble young master dressed in luxurious clothing to help with the treatment of a patient.


    However, the next thing he did was to make the patient''s actions even more surprising. It was all done fluently and quickly. He felt their gazes on him, and the white cloth on his face lifted up slightly as he said, "I''ve grown up in this kind of thing, it''s just that to me, it''s all my own."


    Qi Wan County felt that the officer''s disdainful tone was filled with bitterness. Thus, she felt a little better towards him.


    However, not long after, the shadow official pulled the white cloth away, clamoring to leave, saying, "It''s easy to take care of yourself, but it''s not hard to take care of others. I''m leaving, you guys can continue."


    The two girls rolled their eyes in unison. On the surface, he didn''t even raise his head. The shadow of the official gave two whistles and then left.


    Not long after, over twenty people stood in a neat row in front of the house they were staying in. In order to keep the fresh air in the house, the door was not closed. Qi Wan''s eyebrows twitched as she looked at the row of people wearing the same uniform ¡­ He found it hilarious.


    "The Young Master said to wait for the young ladies'' orders." The unified voice of over twenty people caused Ruan Qingyan to be stunned. This unscrupulous official must have had his own intentions.


    Qi Wanxian took out a piece of white cloth and gave it to them, explaining all the things they needed to pay attention to. Thus, he asked most of them to take care of those who were slightly lighter, leaving a few who looked much older to follow him and Ruan Qingyan in the other rooms to take care of those who were seriously sick. Everything had suddenly sped up. However, there were many things that needed them to do personally. After all, Guan Yuanzhong did not have the habit of bringing doctors with him.


    The official looked at the deep sky. There were only a few stars, and as time passed, everything would dissipate. The good and the bad, without exception.


    Qi Wanxian laid on the bed, the weak moonlight shining on her face, pale and powerless. She suddenly thought of her marriage contract and felt a headache coming on. She wondered how that prince was doing in the capital. However, a person like him shouldn''t be so easily tricked by others ¡­ Thinking of this ¡­ She couldn''t help but think of her dead family members. Even if he was tricked, there would still be people supporting him ¡­ Hehe ¡­ Qi Dian felt a bit awkward at the corner of her eyes. She would definitely avenge her family. She definitely had to kill that dog Crown Prince with her own hands. Thinking like this, Qi Lun couldn''t help but clench her fists.


    Ruan Qingyan felt that the person beside her was trembling slightly. She immediately turned around and embraced her.


    "Xiao Prefecture, don''t worry. No matter what choice you make, I will accompany you. No matter what, I will be by your side." Who would have thought that the rumored vicious Poison Saint would actually be as gentle as water in front of his good friend?


    Qi Wan County leaned against Ruan Qing Yan, and the tears that had yet to fall slowly dried up from the corners of her eyes. She did not want her friends to worry about her, and also did not want them to see her tears.


    Within the imperial study.


    The candles in the room were brightly lit, and the Emperor was flipping through the imperial records with his white hair slightly frosted over and over. It was nothing more than a matter of indifference, but was the world really so peaceful?


    He rubbed his forehead, feeling a little tired. He went to the bed and looked at the flickering candle. It seemed that he was just like this candle ¡­


    "Your majesty, the young master of the Shangguan family played it ¡­" You haven''t seen it yet. " The chief eunuch, upon seeing this, reminded them.


    "Truly, the emperor is not in a hurry, but the overseer is. What''s so good about a rich family? Are you being bribed again? " Right now, His Majesty''s tone was a bit of a joke. He closed his eyes and looked like he was preparing to take a nap.


    "What if there''s something urgent? The last time the Shangguan Family played was three years ago ¡­" The eunuch smiled awkwardly. He''d been by the emperor''s side for more than ten years and couldn''t hide such a thing from him. But luckily, His Majesty was lenient, and his control over the situation was good as well. After all, there were some papers that the Emperor wouldn''t be able to see without some special methods. The government was like a battlefield. This was just a method.


    "Then help This Emperor take the paper roll and have a look at it." The Emperor slowly opened his eyes. The tiredness in his eyes was slightly lessened.


    "How preposterous." Emperor Yan was furious and threw the paper on the chopping board.


    "Your Majesty ¡­" The eunuch spoke probingly.


    "To think that such a disastrous situation would occur in my world that I would never know of." "What have those officials been doing, or have they eaten the heart of a bear to deceive me for the sake of a compliment from our court?"


    "Your Majesty, please calm your anger ¡­" The eunuch was confused, and could only say these words.


    "Never mind, you can leave now." His Majesty sighed, then relaxed his brows slightly and waved his hands. Disappointment and exhaustion could be seen in his eyes, but more importantly, pity for the common people. One had to say, this sort of emperor was indeed an enlightened ruler.


    My people are really suffering. I don''t know how many things these so-called officials have hidden from me. It seems that the court needs to be reorganized.

 C9

    "Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!" An orderly voice resounded in the solemn hall.


    "Your majesty, this subject has something to say." The Minister of Industry bowed and took a step forward.


    "Speak." The man on the dragon throne stroked his gray beard, and his eyes shone with a light that didn''t match the wrinkles on the corner of his eyes.


    "The flood in the area of Jiang and Zhe provinces has been managed. The casualties of the people and the loss of property have all been effectively controlled. In two more days, the disaster will be completely controlled." There was a hint of pride in the Minister of Industry''s tone.


    "Then does my beloved one need any reward?" The Emperor rested his hand on the arm of the Dragon Throne, his eyes unfathomable.


    "To share the Emperor''s worries is the duty of this official. Who would dare ask for a reward?" The Minister of Industry''s tone became even lighter.


    "Oh? Is that so? Then why did my beloved one report it to me? " The emperor''s mouth curved in a mocking smile.


    "The Emperor loves his people like his children. This subject believes that the people of this world should promptly report their safety to the Emperor." The Minister of Industry''s palm broke out into a cold sweat. What''s wrong with the emperor today? When he heard these good news in the past, he had a beaming smile on his face, but his tone of voice didn''t seem to contain even the slightest bit of gratification or happiness. Could it be that he had finally met his match? Thinking of this, he almost couldn''t hold back from slapping himself in the face. He wanted to show off his strength, but now he was really unlucky. He deserved it!


    "The words of my beloved official really strike a deep chord in my heart!" The Emperor stroked his beard and laughed. The Minister of Industry was trembling a little. This emperor was really unstable with happiness and anger, but why did he feel that the atmosphere around him had become increasingly solemn and oppressive?


    "What do all the loved ones think of the Minister of Industry''s words?" The Emperor turned his gaze to the other ministers, looking down at them without a hint of anger. The group with the Minister of Industry was momentarily at a loss for an answer. The Minister of Public Relations'' words were naturally reasonable, but smart people all knew that His Majesty''s thoughts weren''t on whether or not those words were true or false, but on whether or not he was right. It looked like the old man must have made a mistake in some kind of official matter.


    "I believe that there is nothing wrong with what the Minister of Industry has said. He has been an official for many years." The man who was with the Minister of Industry stood up for him. The Minister of Industry glanced at him out of the corner of his eyes. It seemed like this person belonged to the crown prince as well.


    "I think so too." The Emperor sat up straight and looked fixedly at the Minister of State.


    "Your majesty, forgive me for being blunt, but what you just said is very true, but it is not true. Although few ministers have reported anything major these few years, but whether or not this country is truly peaceful cannot be judged like this. Everyone will say what they say, everyone will pretend to be true." Yu Lingjing stood in front of the court officials, dressed in a moon-veined black robe. There were no ripples on his resolute face. It was as if those words had never come out of his mouth.


    "That royal brother''s meaning is that the imperial court is afraid of being deceived by us?" The Emperor squinted his eyes and looked at his younger brother, who was twenty years older than him.


    "The crown prince was worried. This was obviously against the Minister of Industry and his letter. As a great supporter of the crown prince of the six ministries, he had no choice but to protect him." Your son thinks that your royal uncle''s words are wrong. Your father is the Son of Heaven, who would dare lie to you? "Besides, ever since father ascended the throne, the Minister of Public Works has been working for father, doing everything in his power ¡­"


    "Please wait a moment, Crown Prince. I am just saying what I want to say. There is no other meaning to it. Why should Crown Prince take a seat?" Yu Ling Jing looked at him coldly, feeling that the crown prince was useless. Wasn''t this clearly telling the Emperor that the Minister of Industry was his man? No matter what he did, would he ask the Emperor to be merciful? Thinking of this, Yu Ling Jing couldn''t help but lift his lips.


    "Your highness, there''s no need to make things difficult for the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince had only said a few fair words, and we''ve already seen all the work of the Minister of Industry. Why did he suddenly commit all these unwarranted crimes?" A second rank official said in a loud voice.


    Hearing this, Yu Ling Jing turned to look at him, and the official couldn''t help but shiver. This Martial Immortal''s killing intent was truly frightening.


    "I didn''t say that the Minister of Industry is guilty, so why should you think about it?" Yu Lingjing turned around and spoke indifferently, as if that murderous look in his eyes was just an illusion of a second-ranked official.


    "Alright. I''ll say one word of what you''ve come to say. " The Emperor glanced at the eunuch at the side. The eunuch hurriedly took out the paper in his sleeve and passed it to the emperor. The emperor took a paper roll and fiercely slammed it on the table. All the officials were shocked. This foreplay has been going on for so long, is it finally getting down to business? The Emperor was really patient. Those ministers who harbored evil thoughts couldn''t help but wonder if they had done anything recently to get the emperor to take advantage of them. In the past few years, the imperial court had overruled the officials and they had been suppressed quite a bit. Now, it seemed that they could finally vent their resentment, even if the character of these good officials were not bad. However, the thought of what could happen next was still very satisfying.


    "Your Majesty took a deep breath, then picked up the paper roll once more and gave it to the Chief Eunuch." Read it out for them! "


    The eunuch''s shrill voice resounded in the hall, stabbing at the heads of some people in pain.


    "No deceit? Do you really think I''m old... You dare to do whatever you want? Do you really think I don''t know about all the nonsense you''ve done in the past? He was truly bold now! How dare you call such a big matter a minor calamity? Ordinary plague? If someone had not given this book to me, I would have really believed you. All the people in the world, how many of you hold the people in high positions? Parent Officer... Laughable? " It had been a long time since the Emperor had said such a long sentence. Coupled with his agitated mood, he couldn''t help feeling a little dizzy after saying these words. He touched his forehead and looked at the officials.


    "Please calm your anger Your Majesty. This subject knows his wrongs." In the next instant, the officials in the court all fell to the ground.


    "Minister of Industry, although I am old, my memory is not that bad. You were the one who took responsibility for managing this disaster area. Is this how you handle things?" This is the safety and well-being of the people that you should report to us? " The emperor''s arrogance melted slightly.


    At this moment, the Minister of Industry was pressing his forehead against the ground, not daring to answer.


    "Father, this son feels that this matter cannot be completely blamed on Sir Shang Chen. This is too far away, and the calamity was reported by the local officials. How could Sir Shang Chen know whether this is true or false?" The Crown Prince was still trying to defend the Minister of Industry.


    "Shut the hell up for me. I have been turning a blind eye to the little Jiu Jiu that is in your heart." You''d better not talk now. " The emperor looked at the crown prince, his eyes nearly spitting fire.


    "This subject has something to say, I don''t know if I should say it." The military general behind Yu Lingjing spoke with a sonorous voice. His demeanor made it seem as if the emperor was admitting it or not.


    "Go ahead." The Emperor felt rather helpless.


    "This subject is a coarse person and does not speak very well. Although I do not have much of a culture, I still understand some principles. The magistrate is also in the affected area, so no matter how much he has done, he would not be bold enough to not report it. Furthermore, this disaster did not bring any benefits to the magistrate, so I do not think that there would be anyone who could have gotten himself out of this disaster and ended up like this, is the magistrate a pig''s brain? " This general''s words were very plain and easy to understand. He also said everything that everyone wanted to say, but no one dared to.


    It seemed like this person would be a useful talent in the future. Yu Ling Jing thought to himself.


    "You''re right, Minister of Industry. Do you have anything else to say?" The Emperor glanced at the military general in approval before shifting his gaze to the still kneeling Minister of Industry.


    "This official knows his crimes and was indeed muddle-headed for a moment. I wanted to indulge myself in pleasure and save myself a lot of trouble by doing so." The Minister of Industry''s voice trembled.


    "Oh, then why did my lord automatically ask me to do this task?" Yu Lingjing looked at him with a cold smile.


    "I ¡­" The Minister of Industry''s body trembled.


    "Royal Uncle, you ¡­"


    "Shut up. He will continue! " The crown prince forcefully swallowed the latter half of the sentence that was stuck in his throat.


    "I only took this job to... Let... The emperor is giving me some rewards! " He stammered.


    "Really?" Yu Ling Jing said coldly, his powerful aura causing the Minister of Lands to break out in a cold sweat. And then she actually said what she was thinking.


    "Disaster relief has always been a fat job, there''s quite a bit of oil to be salvaged ¡­"


    The Emperor, who was sitting on the Dragon Throne, looked down upon everything. He suddenly discovered that there was an additional aura of a ruler descending upon the world on his younger brother''s face.


    "So you gave up the people there? Just for a little bit of his own selfish desire ¡­ Very good! What a great person... "Loyal official, what a great father and mother ¡­" The Emperor closed his eyes slightly. "The Minister of the Ministry of Industry and Technology did not care about the life and death of one of the commoners because of his selfish desire. "As for his past life, he was reduced by five ranks as an official."


    "Thank you, your majesty, for your kindness." The Minister of Industry shouted loudly.


    His companions couldn''t help but feel relieved. Fortunately, the Emperor didn''t investigate too much, and the Minister of Industry didn''t have the heart to drag them into the water.


    "Don''t look like you''re relieved. I know too much about your matters. From now on, don''t anger me again. This world is still mine. " As he spoke, the emperor looked at the crown prince in disappointment. This son of his was wholeheartedly trying to strengthen his own snobbishness and stabilize his own heels. However, he had forgotten that Jiang Chen was a shrewd person. If it wasn''t for his indulgence, how could he have done so much? It seemed that he needed to properly discipline him this time. As for his own brother, he could not be looked down upon. No wonder the crown prince feared him, but luckily, he also knew very well that what his brother loved was not a river or a mountain.


    The Crown Prince stood aside with a sinister look in his eyes. This Minister of the Ministry of Industry was one of his generals. Such an outcome was a huge blow to him. However, there was nothing he could do. In his subconscious, he blamed Yu Ling Jing for seizing the throne. One day, he would definitely kill this dog king.

 C10

    "Chendi thought that the most important thing to do right now would be to save the situation." Seeing that the situation had stabilized, Yu Ling Jing opened his mouth to speak in a calm and composed manner. Of course, he was well aware that the stability of the situation was merely a superficial phenomenon. The treacherous officials had a lot of schemes in their minds.


    "There is no need for you to say any more unnecessary words." The Crown Prince said coldly.


    "I think even a large amount of supplies might not be enough to solve the problem in the disaster area."


    The Crown Prince saw that Yu Ling Jing didn''t seem to care about him and gritted his teeth. "Then what does Uncle Wang think?"


    "The disaster has happened for a long time already. There must be a large number of doctors as well as people who are lacking in morals." Yu Ling Jing spoke slowly, he didn''t seem to be doing things like he usually did in the army.


    "You''re right. "Continue." The emperor nodded, looking at Yu Ling Jing in approval.


    "It''s been so long since the disaster area was rescued by the imperial government. I''m afraid the people''s hearts have been thrown into disarray, so I feel that I have to find a way to calm them down." Yu Ling Jing spoke slowly and methodically.


    "Oh?" the Emperor asked with interest.


    "To send someone of sufficiently esteemed status to the disaster area to let the people feel that they have been valued, this humble subject feels that this is the easiest and most effective method." Yu Lingjing lifted her head and looked directly at the emperor. His eyes were unusually clear. His Majesty couldn''t help but think of how his younger brother was still young when he ascended to the throne. Back then, he had looked at him with those same eyes, but at that time, his eyes had been even more clear and gentle.


    "Then, who do you think is the best candidate?" The emperor''s mood suddenly became better.


    "This son is willing to go." After thinking for a while, Imperial Wintry felt that this was a good opportunity to win over the hearts of the people, so he took the initiative and spoke first.


    "Your Majesty, this subject believes that although the people in the affected areas need to be pacified, the crown prince''s status is too honorable ¡­" There were many sly ones in the imperial court. It was not as if there were none who disliked the crown prince. It was only natural that there would be people who could see through his intentions and wanted to obstruct him.


    "I think so too. The epidemic situation in the affected area is serious. The Crown Prince is a pauper. It would be inappropriate for him to get infected by the plague!" Another minister objected.


    The Crown Prince shot a glance at the two ministers who had spoken. Okay, he''ll remember the two of them.


    "I feel that as the Eastern Palace, I have the responsibility to go."


    "Forget it, it''s better if you stay in the palace and help me!" Everyone, how can you be a candidate? " The Emperor no longer looked at the Crown Prince.


    "This subject is useless ¡­" The officials kneeled down again.


    "I believe that the prince is the best choice." "The general who spoke earlier spoke again." The prince had an honorable identity. He could pacify the people''s hearts, and since he had been in the battlefield for a long time, he naturally wouldn''t be afraid of such a small outbreak of disease. "This idea is the way of the prince ¡­"


    "Royal brother, what do you think? Are you willing to go? " Everyone knew that this was just a formality and that the order was given just like that.


    "This subject naturally does not dare to disobey orders. "Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty." Yu Ling Jing was expressionless, all of this was within his expectations.


    "In that case, withdraw from the imperial court ¡­" The Emperor waved his hand.


    "Retreat ¡­" The eunuch''s shrill voice rang out once more.


    "Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"


    Yu Lingjing stood alone on the steps of the palace hall, looking at the slightly curling clouds on the horizon. It was unknown just what she was thinking in her heart. Out of the corner of his eyes, he saw the military general who had spoken up and down a few times, so he nodded slightly at him. Then, just as he was preparing to head back to his own residence, that familiar high-pitched voice rang out yet again from afar.


    "Your Highness, please wait. The Emperor invites you to the imperial study."


    Yu Lingjing turned and followed the eunuch.


    "Royal brother, it''s been a long time since we''ve sat together and played chess like this."


    "Right now, my royal brother and I are no longer simply brothers. We are already subjects of the monarch. Besides, my royal brother has many responsibilities today, so it is inevitable that he will spend more time with my brother." Yu Ling Jing looked at the chessboard and considered his next step.


    "Hehe ¡­" Why must royal brother be so courteous? " The emperor said this, but in his heart, he was very satisfied with Yu Lingjing''s attitude. It had to be known that no one would be allowed to spy on one''s throne. Regardless of whether one was an enlightened ruler or not, during his reign, no matter how intimate one was, one could not show the slightest disrespect.


    Two hours later.


    "Royal brother, you''re really ¡­" His Majesty looked at Yu Lingjing with a helpless expression. "This younger brother was extremely respectful to him everywhere, but when he arrived at the chessboard, he did not give in at all." He had the pleasure of playing chess with his royal brother. If it were anyone else, they would all give way to me. I would have thought I was invincible. Hahaha ¡­ Although I''ve lost to my royal brother now, I''m still happy. "


    "Royal brother, this world is yours. There is no invincibility in this world." Yu Lingjing''s polite words slipped away more and more.


    "Good, good, good. My royal brother said it well." The emperor''s face was flushed with laughter! "There is a sudden change in the topic of conversation." "Have I grown old?"


    "How could that be? When my younger brother heard your straightforward laughter, he didn''t feel the slightest bit old."


    "But I ¡­" He still couldn''t be at ease in this world! Crown Prince, I''ve been pampered since I was young. I do have the ability to do so, but my temperament ¡­ I will make this royal uncle of yours light up after a hundred years. " On the surface, he wanted Yu Ling Jing to help him against the cold wind, but more importantly, Yu Ling Jing had to remind him that he had no part in the throne, so he decided to focus on being his assistant!


    "Royal brother, where are you going? This subject will naturally do whatever you do." Yu Lingjing replied evasively. How could he not understand the emperor''s words? This was how smart people spoke to smart people. On the surface, they did their best, but they didn''t say a single word.


    "Hehe ¡­" "That''s good." The emperor stroked his beard and gave Yu Lingjing a meaningful glance. Could it be that his little brother''s thoughts were going to change?


    "It''s almost time for lunch, so I''ll stay together with my royal brother!"


    "Thank you, royal brother." Yu Lingjing didn''t want to stay, but she couldn''t refuse.


    The Emperor rose from his seat. He said to the eunuch standing outside the door, "Call Han Feng over for a meal as well."


    "Chirp ¡­" The young eunuch hurriedly walked out of the room.


    "The scenery in the back garden is a good place to eat." The Emperor and Yu Lingjing walked on the flagstones.


    "Hmm, my royal brother sure is humorous. He is also very interested." Yu Lingjing''s voice was calm.


    One by one, the maidservants placed the dishes on the ten tables of the imperial garden. Because the tables weren''t big and there weren''t many dishes served, they all looked delicate, and the smell was quite fragrant.


    "Father... This son has come late, and has troubled royal father to wait for a long time. " Imperial Winds walked over, looking as if he hadn''t seen Yu Ling Jing.


    "Why didn''t you call him uncle when you saw him?"


    "Oh, I wasn''t paying attention. I hope that Imperial Uncle can forgive me. " Even though Yu Hanfeng said he was sorry, he didn''t seem to care. The emperor didn''t say anything, but smiled and nodded.


    He was pretending to be happy. Yu Ling Jing sneered in his heart. He did not have any bad feelings towards his royal brother who loved his people like his children. However, his status as an official and the hegemony of a superior that his royal brother naturally revealed made him feel that they were a family. However, as a member of the royal family, isn''t acting your best?


    "Royal Uncle, you''re really smart. Your performance in the imperial court just now was really admirable!" The Crown Prince smiled, "Imperial Uncle, you must be very popular in the army!" After he finished speaking, Yu Hanfeng glanced at his father, and sure enough, his father''s expression darkened.


    Yu Lingjing picked up a mouthful of food and put it in his mouth. He politely smiled but didn''t respond.


    "Royal Uncle, this is your tacit consent? Royal Uncle sure is capable! " The Crown Prince continued to laugh.


    "If I can''t compare to you, Prince, no matter how popular I am in the military, I will only be with the barbarians." If I can''t compare to you, no matter how popular I am in the military, I will only be with the barbarians. Yu Lingjing swallowed the food in his mouth and spoke unhurriedly.


    "Hur hur." The Crown Prince smirked as he took a long sip of his tea.


    The emperor''s gaze also became increasingly dark and profound.


    Like this, the eerie atmosphere finally passed.


    "Royal brother, your servant will take his leave now." Yu Lingjing stood up and bowed.


    "Yes." The emperor faintly replied.


    "Then Father, your son is going to accompany you for a walk in this garden?" Yu Hanfeng smiled as he looked at the emperor.


    "Alright, let''s eat." The Emperor rose as well.


    "Father, what do you mean by Uncle Huang''s words?" Yu Hanfeng, who was standing behind the Emperor, cautiously asked.


    "How many meanings can there be?" The Emperor obviously didn''t want to say more.


    "But he has the heart of a soldier ¡­"


    "If you have the ability, you can do it too!"


    Imperial Wintry''s complexion changed. He really couldn''t figure out what his father was thinking.


    "Feng''er, look at the fish in the pond." Imperial Wintry didn''t know what was so good about the fish, but he still obeyed the order and looked over. There was a school of fish swimming in the pond. A black carp was leading the way. The red carp behind him was crowded, but it couldn''t affect the black carp at all. Imperial Wintry was stunned. Did this father say he wanted him to be the black carp? Or could it be that only lowly people can use it, could it be that royal father was warning him not to rush to snatch it? Thinking of this, he couldn''t help but be shocked. It seemed that his ambition had been too obvious!


    "Is this fish pretty!?" A kind smile suddenly appeared on His Majesty''s face.


    "Good." Yu Hanfeng replied with a blank look on his face.


    "Alright, you can go first. I''ll take a walk by myself."


    "Father, your subject will leave first." The cold wind was now full of fire.


    "Let''s go." The emperor walked to the pavilion and anxiously gazed at the beautiful imperial garden. This was the grief of the imperial family. There was no true love, but only conspiracy? People, even flowers?


    Yu Hanfeng kicked open the door with a gloomy face, scaring the servants in the room. What was wrong with this master? This Yu Ling Jing was clearly against him, and caused his father to become angry at him, this time, he would definitely not let him go. No one can steal what belongs to him, and those who disobey will perish.

 C11

    The morning sun shone on the official road, but it did not bring any warmth. On the contrary, it made it even colder.


    "Royal brother, Zhen has already prepared the troops. I''ve sent out a few qualified imperial physicians from the Grand Hospital." As for the supplies, you can go first. I''ll send someone to deliver them in a few days. " The emperor looked down at Yu Ling Jing condescendingly.


    "Your subject obeys the decree." Yu Ling Jing cupped his hands towards the Emperor.


    With a turn of his body, his black hair fluttering in the wind, Yu Ling Jing jumped onto his horse. His slender figure and handsome face merged with the mountains and rivers in the distance to form a painting of ink. Those who were bold and unrestrained were about to shout out. Unfortunately, there were no girls here. There was only a high and mighty emperor, a bunch of obedient subordinates, and a bunch of vile people hiding in a certain corner.


    "Uncle Huang, have a pleasant journey!" Imperial Wintry stood on the distant city gate tower, a mocking and sinister smile on the corner of his mouth, and his pair of charming eyes revealed even more ferociousness and viciousness. In his eyes, Yu Ling Jing was as insignificant as an ant. However, he didn''t know that this was just an illusion. Some people were as unfathomable as the sea.


    "My lord, there is a tea shop in front. Let''s take a break there!" Someone wiped the sweat from his forehead and suggested.


    "Alright." Yu Lingjing glanced at the imperial physicians who were too weak to handle the situation, took a look at the simple tea shop, and nodded.


    The simple, crude banner with the word ''tea shop'' on it fluttered slightly in the air.


    Yu Lingjing was sitting upright in front of a short table. The simple tools on the table did not make him look lonely. Instead, it made him seem even more extraordinary. The waiter of the tea shop was actually just the boss. Seeing this group of people, although their clothes weren''t extravagant, their aura and aura could easily match their identity, they were either rich or noble. It had been a long time since the owner of this teahouse had seen so many customers, but now that he realized they were important people, he almost rushed up to hug them.


    Everyone drank their tea in big gulps. Honestly speaking, the tea was extremely bitter. However, they were also thirsty, so they were not as picky. Only Yu Lingjing remained on the first floor, sipping slowly. It was as if he was enjoying himself.


    He goes out to war all year round. He had been through a lot of hardships, many times he had not been able to drink any of the water. Sometimes, he had even drunk dirty, muddy water in order to live, and this bitter tea was no different from those precious tea leaves in the palace.


    "Dear guests, the restaurant is rather simple and crude. This is the best tea in the restaurant, I hope you don''t mind." The owner of the tea shop smiled obsequiously. However, no one answered him. The owner of the tea shop didn''t mind and continued to talk to himself. Where are you guys from? "


    Silence reigned in the tea shop.


    "Beijing." One of the coachmen didn''t want to embarrass the owner, so he kindly replied. When the owner of the teahouse saw that someone had answered him, he immediately raised his head with a smile towards the source of the voice. However, the moment he saw that the other party had no temperament whatsoever other than that of a normal person, his face immediately fell. Seeing the boss change his expression so quickly, the coachman couldn''t help but inwardly despise him for looking down on others.


    The owner of the tea shop turned around and used his small eyes to size up the crowd. When he saw Yu Lingjing calmly drinking tea, his eyes flashed. It seemed like this person was a noble. He was just about to get close to her.


    "Sir ~"


    "Boss, please serve us two pots of tea." A man with a full beard walked in and slapped the table heavily with his broadsword. His eyes were filled with arrogance. Seeing such an evil person, the boss couldn''t care less about fawning over Yu Lingjing. He turned around and smiled at the big bearded man with a fake smile. " Customer, can you drink two pots of tea by yourself? "


    "If I said two pots, then two pots. Why the f * ck are you spouting so much nonsense?" The bearded big fellow''s temper was obviously very irritable.


    "I don''t want to waste your silver." The boss immediately changed his tone, appearing somewhat submissive.


    "Really? Then don''t worry, my stomach is too big. I can put it on." When the bearded man heard this, he suddenly laughed out loud. The tea shop owner turned around upon hearing this. This strange person appeared year in and year out, so why was there so many of them here?


    When someone on Yu Ling Jing''s side heard the bearded man''s words, they couldn''t help but burst out laughing. He nervously looked at the silent Yu Ling Jing, not really reacting. He didn''t know that when someone saw his little daughter-in-law''s appearance, they couldn''t help but spit out the tea in their mouths and then burst out laughing in a baffled manner. Along the way, because they had a master who didn''t like liveliness, the group of them walked in quite a suppressed manner. After laughing, everyone came to their senses, and looked at Yu Lingjing in unison. Seeing that the other side was still as aloof and indifferent as before, they felt that although Yu Lingjing was aloof, his opponents were not too harsh on him, at least not forcing others to match his preferences.


    "Hehehe." A wave of strange laughter rang out, causing everyone to be stunned once again. The owner of the laugh scratched his head in embarrassment. I see that you guys are quite happy, so you all just laughed along. "Haha."


    Everyone felt their mouth twitch. They never thought that this person would be so interesting.


    "Brothers, are you guys from the caravan or what? Where are you going?" The bearded man suddenly became serious.


    "What are you doing learning from that shop?" Someone shouted back.


    "How did I learn from that shop?" The bearded man was confused.


    "Why are you blabbering so much?" The man continued. The shop owner, who was busying himself at the counter, was speechless. Why did this person always like others to tease him?


    "Isn''t this the same as asking questions when I see you guys again? I''ve always wanted to get to know more people from Beijing."


    Yu Lingjing raised his head to look at the bearded man, and his eyes darkened. When the shop owner asked them where they had come from, the bearded man was no longer by their side. There were many forks in the road. This bearded man was so sure that they were from the capital. It seemed that this person was a bit rough, but in reality, he wasn''t simple. However, he wasn''t that smart. As he thought of this, a cold smile appeared on Yu Lingjing''s face.


    "Let''s go." Yu Lingjing stood up and said in an indifferent tone. The rest of the entourage also immediately took up their positions. No one replied to the bearded man''s words.


    "The shop owner has paid the bill." the coachman shouted. The shop owner hurriedly ran over. His eyes lit up when he saw the fine money bag made by the driver, and he laughed darkly.


    The bearded man sat on the spot and silently stared at the cup, but in reality, he was constantly paying attention to the movements of Yu Lingjing and the others. However, this person was using his ears. He picked up the knife from the table and walked out.


    "Hey, why do you want to leave before settling the bill?" Seeing this, the shop owner hurriedly shouted. The bearded man acted as if he didn''t hear anything and continued to walk forward.


    "Bullshit." There were very few people around, almost all of them coming and going. It was not as if this shop owner had never met an overlord before. Every time, he would secretly curse in his heart. After all, a person with a knife was not someone he could afford to offend. The bearded man''s ears twitched and he raised his foot to kick backwards. A stone accurately hit a table in the tea shop. Kacha! The table instantly broke into pieces.


    "I''ll let you off today." The bearded man said loudly. The shop owner was shocked. He felt that he was really unlucky. He hurriedly ran to the door and closed it behind him. Although this person looked rough at the start, he also seemed honest when he spoke. Why did the group of people become fiendish once they left? What a strange person.


    Yu Ling Jing rode his horse and sped along in front of the group. As for the group of old doctors, they were naturally sitting in the carriage, dozing off.


    "Faster." Yu Ling Jing''s tone was filled with orders that could not be disobeyed. It had to be said that he was quite anxious right now. The citizens were still suffering, but he could not be sure when he would arrive. The appearance of the bearded man just now told him that this journey would not be a peaceful one.


    The bearded man took his saber and traversed through the forest. In the blink of an eye, he had arrived at an extremely secluded location. A group of people dressed in common clothes respectfully kneeled in front of him. He seemed to be training in an orderly manner. The bearded man, Yang Shou, touched his lower jaw and tore off a piece of the human skin mask, revealing the long scar on his face.


    The sun was hanging in the west, and it looked like it was on the verge of collapsing. The sunlight shining on the path added a hint of warmth to the tense atmosphere. Yu Ling Jing and his horse kept advancing. The sky was getting darker, and the birds were no longer chirping by the side of the road. Quite a few bugs were beginning to move, and nature seemed to not allow the world to have a moment of peace. At this moment, the sun had already set halfway down the mountain. Half was set aside, reflecting the clouds on the horizon. It continued to illuminate the world.


    When they reached a corner, Yu Ling Jing and his team suddenly stopped at a fork in the road. They weren''t too familiar with the road, and didn''t know where to start for the moment. "One of Yu Lingjing''s underlings hurriedly asked as a man dressed as a woodcutter approached.


    "Walk to the right. There will be a village not too far away. Everyone can rest there for the night." The woodcutter replied enthusiastically. It''s getting dark. Why is it that a woodcutter is walking in the opposite direction? There weren''t any villages on the other side of the road. Yu Ling Jing was thinking this, but his face remained expressionless. He sat on the horse and glanced at the axman. He then said in an indifferent tone, "Thank you." He then rode the horse in that direction. Then let it be. If he could get rid of one trouble as soon as possible, then that would be one less problem.

 C12

    "Your Highness, could it be that you''ve taken the wrong path?!" An underling asked in confusion. They had been walking along this road for a long time. How come I haven''t seen the village the woodcutter was talking about?


    "I did go the wrong way. All of you, get ready." The people around Yu Lingjing weren''t all freeloaders. They understood what their master meant and put their hands on their weapons, ready to act.


    Yu Lingjing sat on his horse and looked at the imperial carriage behind him. Some people immediately understood what he meant. This doctor couldn''t be harmed in any way.


    Yu Ling Jing looked around, and then suddenly jumped down from his horse. While he was in the air, he had already drawn his sword, and everyone else had also pulled out their weapons. There was a friction sound, which added to the somber atmosphere of the forest.


    The black-clothed men hiding in the forest didn''t try to conceal themselves anymore. The twenty or so people immediately surrounded Yu Lingjing and the others. Yu Ling Jing swept a glance around, and couldn''t help but let out a sneer. It seemed that nephew of his really didn''t place him in his eyes. Yu Ling Jing''s sword swung out, and the black clad man in front of him fell to the ground before he could even react.


    "Do it." A man who seemed to be the leader of the men in black shouted.


    For a time, a sword light flashed. The cold moonlight shone on the sword, bringing about waves of chilliness.


    The sound of metal colliding with metal echoed in the night sky. It was as if the only sound in the entire world was the sound of metal slicing through flesh and blood. None of the imperial physicians in the carriage dared to make a sound. It was as if the black-clothed man would kill whoever got angry at him.


    But after a while, there was no longer any sound outside. The imperial physicians were all taken aback. One of them lifted the carriage''s curtain boldly, only to see Yu Lingjing standing behind the carriage, looking at his subordinates with a face full of admiration, before collapsing to the ground.


    It turned out that after the group of black-clad men had attacked them, Yu Ling Jing''s underlings had quickly realized that their target was only Yu Ling Jing. Yu Ling Jing then made a hand gesture for them to move to the side. It was clear that he wanted them to come alone. Although he didn''t understand, he didn''t dare to disobey him. Therefore, everyone watched as Yu Ling Jing was like an Asura, every move he made was effective. Every strike was a life. The other side was clearly a well-trained assassin, but to Yu Ling Jing, he was nothing at all. Some of his subordinates had fought alongside him, but this was the first time they had seen him display such power. It had to be said that their master really did have the aura of the supreme ruler of heaven and earth.


    Yu Ling Jing looked at the dark forest. A gust of cold wind blew through, and the forest was once again filled with rustling sounds. He just needed to leave a live one for him to go back and report. Otherwise, this game would be too boring.


    Yu Lingjing walked in front of his horse and stroked its mane as if to comfort it. However, no matter what, the horse couldn''t run. After all, it had received a fright and it would be very lucky if it didn''t run. Yu Ling Jing pulled his horse and walked forward step by step. He liked black clothes, and because of the amount of blood, no one could tell.


    The group looked at each other for a moment before all following. Fortunately, the imperial physicians'' carriage was right behind them, so it didn''t have much of an impact. Otherwise, it''d really be a big problem.


    "The imperial government has already sent someone, but he''s still a big shot. Do you want to know who he is?" The shadow of the official''s office was already on the pillar. A pair of beady eyes were smiling brightly like the stars in the sky.


    "Not interested." After spending these few days together, he discovered that the official''s aura was not as bad as she had imagined. Therefore, he was now willing to pay attention to her.


    "When he comes tomorrow, you''ll be interested in someone even more good-looking than me." The official laughed loudly. Long time no see.


    Qi Dian County couldn''t help but fall into deep thought. Other than Yu Ling Jing, who else could be more beautiful than an official.


    "We''ve finally arrived." After a few days of riding on horseback, they finally arrived at the disaster area. It could be said that it was quite strange that, other than the day of the attack, they did not encounter any sort of danger and even walked on the official road, making it much easier for them to walk on it.


    Yu Ling Jing looked at the lifeless house and couldn''t help but frown. How could this be? This was more serious than he had imagined.


    "Welcome, your highness. Your highness is here to welcome you. If I am not able to welcome you, your highness, please forgive me." The magistrate stood in front of Yu Lingjing with a fawning expression, the fawning in his heart was lost on his face. Yu Ling Jing looked at him and frowned even harder. The commoners here were trapped in the middle of water and fire, stepping on their parents would make them look like they had eaten enough.


    "Your Highness, I have prepared a banquet at home, I hope that Your Highness can take a seat." The magistrate continued to speak. If he were to hear this, he would probably say, "You dog of a government official, why is it that you''re treating me to food? With so much money, why don''t you just send someone else to suffer?" However, at this moment, the shadow official was sleeping soundly on the bed. He naturally already knew that Yu Lingjing had returned today, but he also knew that the Shangguan family''s methods were much more complex than those of other families.


    "Lead the way." Yu Lingjing finally opened her mouth. He hated this kind of social interaction, but it was inevitable. Besides, he didn''t have any problems traveling all the way, but they were all old bones and couldn''t take it anymore. There was no way for him to take care of the patients in this state, and he needed to understand some things from the county magistrate.


    "What the hell is going on here?" Yu Lingjing looked at the dishes on the table, but didn''t have any appetite.


    "Reporting to Your Highness, this calamity started two months ago." The county magistrate smiled as he spoke at a steady pace.


    Two months! So much time had passed. And yet, the Imperial Court only found out the truth now? Yu Lingjing slammed the table. The magistrate hurriedly explained, "At that time, only a few people suffered from the same disease. Everyone thought it was an ordinary illness, so not many people cared." "However, who would''ve thought that the epidemic situation would suddenly spread. This lowly official is completely powerless." The county magistrate was submissive as he spoke, his eyes like a mouse''s as they rolled in circles.


    "Helpless? Do you really think of a way? " A cold light flashed through Yu Ling Jing''s eyes.


    "This official has been wronged. I had reported the calamity to the Imperial Court long ago, but the Imperial Court did not react. I really do not know what to do. During this period of time, this official has also been terrified." The magistrate trembled in response to Yu Ling Jing''s gaze.


    "Each of you is more than the other, yet you are trying to shirk responsibility. Are you doing worse than the other? "Why do I feel like you''re better off than anyone else?" Yu Lingjing glanced at the dishes on the table. The county magistrate was greatly alarmed. This was really eating chicken until it turned into rice.


    "This official knows that he was wrong. But the two girls who came a while ago helped a lot. " The magistrate weakly said.


    "Miss?"


    "As if, those two girls were really good-looking, one of them even had great medical skills. "And then the young master of the Shangguan family came and gave him a lot of financial support. The epidemic situation was finally under control." As the magistrate spoke, he glanced at Yu Ling Jing and saw that his complexion seemed to have improved. He couldn''t help but secretly sigh in relief.


    "Is the owner still here?" Yu Lingjing asked.


    "Yes, he has a good relationship with those two girls." As the magistrate spoke, the corners of his mouth curved into a vulgar smile.


    "Oh, then where are they?"


    "I say, girl, can you stop being so stern with me? How have I offended you?" The official called out loudly, but his tone was full of ridicule.


    "You''ve already offended me." He didn''t even raise his head. On the other hand, Ruan Qing Yan showed a nonchalant expression.


    Yu Lingjing stood in the doorway, a dark look on her face. This was the relationship between the county magistrate and her words were not bad? And why was Qi Wan County here? And who was that girl with good medical skills?


    "Aiyo, our wargod is here!" The shadow of the official''s house twisted and turned like a bawd in a brothel as he walked towards Yu Lingjing. Yu Lingjing looked at him with disdain, but didn''t say anything. He had known the officials for many years and was used to his leftist side. When the officials saw this, they felt bored and stood up straight. Then, they pinched their throats and said, "Ladies, a guest is coming." Ruan Qingyan''s hand that was fanning her fan suddenly stopped. It really did seem like she was releasing poison, that fellow who was so poisonous.


    Yu Ling Jing avoided the shadow of the official and entered the house, how could Qi Wanli disappear in such a short time?


    "What about that girl who doesn''t know her place? She didn''t even come to meet him when a big shot came to pick him up?" The shadow of the official was so shocked by the role of the bawd that he could not extricate himself. Ruan Qingyan threw the fan and it flew straight towards the official''s store, accompanied by the sound of something tearing through the air. The shadow of the pavilion master flashed as he dodged to the side. Ruan Qingyan clapped her hands and stood up straight.


    "He went to take care of the patients behind him." Ruan Qingyan seemed to be answering the question from the official, but her eyes were fixated on Yu Lingjing. This was the person his good friend was going to marry, with an extraordinary aura and unfathomable inner strength. Besides that, he was still worthy of his sister. If someone were to hear this monologue within his heart, it was unknown how much blood they would cough up. The young brother of the emperor, the wargod of his generation, was actually of a bullshit identity. What was this girl thinking?


    "I''ll go find him." As he spoke, he leisurely walked towards the back. Yu Ling Jing also followed.


    "What are you doing?" The official felt that it was strange. Shouldn''t Yu Lingjing be doing some proper work? Why are you following him?


    "Look at your girl." Yu Lingjing said seriously. The shadow of the official stopped. Was the sun rising from the west? Yu Lingjing was actually joking. At this moment, the official, Sikong Ying, really wanted to announce this to the world. Yu Ling Jing also had a sense of humor.


    "My girl is there."


    Yu Ling Jing looked at the direction the official pointed at, he seemed to have lost a lot of weight.

 C13

    "Qi Wanli County." Yu Ling Jing''s cold voice broke the tranquility of the room.


    Qi Lang turned around upon hearing the sound, and looked at Yu Ling Jing expressionlessly.


    The official stood at the side with a blank look on his face, but he quickly reacted. This woman was actually Yu Ling Jing''s fiancee. How could someone let the fine wangfei go and come to this disaster area? Was he stupid? But from the looks of it, it was not that simple. If it was just an ordinary adopted daughter of the Minister of the Left, she would have been raised like a prince. How could she have suffered so much and even put her body down to live with the victims? Furthermore, this woman had extraordinary skills.


    The official was used to seeing those so-called well-bred noble ladies in the capital, but in reality, they only knew how to put on an act. People like Qi Wanxian were truly too rare, but in reality, there was no such thing. Before he knew Qi Wan County''s identity, he had always thought Qi Wan County was a martial artist''s woman.


    Therefore, even though he wanted to confirm her identity, he wasn''t too interested. However, it seemed like it was still worth investigating.


    Guan Yuanzhong''s eyes rolled around, he did not pay attention to the situation of the two people around him. In fact, there was nothing wrong with them. When the official finally regained his senses, he realized that the room was unusually quiet. He was actually happy to watch such a joke.


    "Hey, why aren''t the two of you talking? You''ve both turned silly." The official tried to break this tranquility, and with a wretched look in his eyes, he glanced at Qi Wanjun a few times. But as soon as he finished speaking, the room became cold and still again.


    The shadow of the official shook his head. He thought that if he didn''t leave now, these two definitely wouldn''t speak. He might as well find another way to satisfy his curiosity. Thinking like this, Guan Yuanzhong''s heart suddenly became joyful. He then shook his head and walked out with light footsteps, shouting as he walked.


    "Miss Ruan, you didn''t even tell me about such a good friend of yours. It''s truly too disgraceful." It was full of the sound of blood sucking. Qi Wanshi couldn''t help but roll his eyes when he heard this. Yu Lingjing was still standing in front of her with a poker face.


    After waiting for a long time, Yu Lingjing finally spoke up.


    "That guy on the roof, have you heard enough?" Qi Dian''s eyebrows rose. There was someone on the roof, but why didn''t she notice it? It was that bored brat who was so unrestrained again.


    Yu Lingjing was getting more and more powerful. He had already tried his best to hide his presence, but he didn''t expect that just like that, he would be discovered. It seemed that his skill had improved a lot.


    The mood of the officials suddenly improved. He and Yu Ling Jing had been friends for many years, and he was always happy for Yu Ling Jing because of this matter. Whenever Yu Ling Jing''s skill improved, the happiest person wasn''t Yu Ling Jing, but his naughty friend.


    However, it was also normal for people like Yu Ling Jing from the royal family to live in ghost hell, as long as he had a little ability, he would be able to guarantee his safety.


    "You don''t even care if I sleep on the rooftop. You really think too much. Why should I eavesdrop on your conversation? You actually don''t allow me to sleep here? You guys are really troublesome." The moment he finished speaking, he flew out of the house and left the rooftop. In this place where patients were wailing everywhere, he felt that he was going to get moldy. It wasn''t easy for him to encounter something that piqued his interest, so he didn''t want to listen.


    "Qi Wanli County." Yu Ling Jing cried out again.


    "Hmm, you already shouted that once. I heard it, there''s no need to shout again. " Qi Dian raised his eyelids as he indifferently said.


    "Why are you here?" Yu Lingjing disregarded Qi Wan County''s rude choice, he did not want to haggle with women.


    "Since the imperial government doesn''t care, of course I will be in charge." Qi Wan County said coldly.


    "Oh ~ It seems that you have a Bodhisattva''s heart, but don''t forget that you''re my fiancee." Yu Ling Jing looked at Qi Shu County without moving.


    "If it wasn''t for the Bodhisattva''s heart, do you think I would have meddled with this matter and saved you? And number one, it''s not that I want to be your fiancee, but rather, what does my coming here have to do with being your fiancee? " Qi Wanli turned around and continued to organize the medicinal materials.


    "If you come here with a plague, I don''t know how to explain it to your godfather." Yu Ling Jing smirked. He didn''t know why, but every time he was in front of Qi Shu County, his mood was easy to get excited, and even a little unfamiliar with his own control. Perhaps from the bottom of his heart, he didn''t want to hide his feelings in front of Qi Shu County.


    "This is my own affair. What does it have to do with you?" Qi Wan County put down the herbs in his hand as he spoke word by word.


    "Indeed, it has nothing to do with me. If it wasn''t because you were my savior, why would I care so much about you?" The smile on Yu Lingjing''s face grew even colder. When Qi Wanli heard this, a trace of a mocking smile appeared on his face. Sure enough, what he cared about was whether he would offend her foster father and ruin his reputation of being righteous.


    "Then give me back your life, I don''t mind." Qi Wan said mockingly. Yu Lingjing was stunned. This woman was really malicious.


    "I''m not talking to you. I have business with you." Yu Ling Jing creased his eyebrows, looking at Qi Wan County''s skinny back.


    "What business do you have with me? I''m just a woman, how can I be worthy enough to discuss proper business with you, wargod? " The words that came out of Qi Wan''s mouth were spicy. He really didn''t want to see Yu Ling Jing at all. If he hadn''t met him, he wouldn''t have lost his family. Although this couldn''t be blamed on Yu Ling Jing, she couldn''t help but regret that she didn''t save that war god. But she also knew that if she did it again, she would have made the same choice.


    "I really do have something to talk to you about," Yu Lingjing''s tone softened. Qi Lang continued to look down at the table full of herbs as if she hadn''t heard a word.


    "What happened to the epidemic situation in the disaster area? If you don''t want to bother with me, I don''t care. However, you''d better tell me about the people''s matters." Yu Lingjing felt that what he had said today was worth what he had said ¡ª what I had said for several days.


    "Alright." Qi Wanxian turned around, glanced at Yu Ling Jing from the corner of his eyes, and then walked outside. Yu Ling Jing also slowly followed.


    Qing Yan, this person wants to ask about the disaster area. You are a professional doctor, you know it better than me. Qi Wan County softly spoke to Ruan Qing Yan. With that, she walked to the other room without looking back.


    "Qi Wanli County, where are you going?" For some reason, Yu Ling Jing was suddenly unhappy.


    "I think taking care of patients is more important than talking to you." There was a hint of impatience in his voice.


    Ruan Qingyan looked at the two of them and could not help but shake her head. This was great, the two enemies were still unmarried.


    "Miss, I am Yu Ling Jing." Yu Lingjing said indifferently to Ruan Qingyan.


    "Ruan Qingyan." Ruan Qingyan nodded her head lightly. There was a smile on her face that no one could figure out. He did not want to hide his identity. If Qi Wanxian and Yu Ling Jing were to marry in the future, Yu Ling Jing would know that she had a good friend behind her back, and might even have an egg of her own.


    After all, she, Ruan Qingyan, was known for her viciousness.


    Everything was more complicated than this martial arts world, and it was also more terrifying than this one. In this martial world, most people were neither black nor white, yet after entering the palace, they seemed to be calling each other brothers on the surface, but in reality, they were all eager to get rid of each other.


    When Yu Lingjing heard the name Ruan Qingyan, she was a bit surprised. How could Qi Lan County be with someone like her? She didn''t even know how many things she had.


    Why would a Poison Saint be here to provide disaster relief? However, the most important thing right now was to connect the dots. These things could be discussed later.


    Yu Lingjing had drank countless cups of tea. With every word that Ruan Qingyan said, Yu Lingjing''s frown intensified.


    "Well, that''s about it." After Ruan Qingyan finished speaking, she also picked up a cup of tea and gulped it down.


    "Yes, thank you." Yu Lingjing relaxed her brows a little.


    After a moment of silence, Ruan Qingyan rolled her eyes.


    "Did you bring a doctor to help?" Ruan Qingyan suddenly became serious.


    "Yes, why?" Yu Ling Jing was puzzled.


    "Naturally, it''s better to take care of the disaster relief with them." Ruan Qingyan rolled her eyes, " You''re not a doctor, so there''s nothing much for you to help me with. Oh yeah, I was the one who said that just now, what else did you bring? "


    "Oh, the doctor I brought is still resting. As for the supplies, the imperial court will send them in a few days." Yu Ling Jing raised his head and looked at Ruan Qingyan.


    "Fine, as you wish. In any case, there''s still that rich man, unrestrained and unrestrained. I don''t need any supplies." Ruan Qingyan let out a sigh of relief. What happened next should be much easier. He really couldn''t hold on any longer, and Qi Wanxian had lost so much weight in this period of time, so when he saw this, he felt his heart ache.


    "Then please take me to chat with your imperial physicians."


    "No problem." Yu Ling Jing took a glance at the door, Qi Wan County had been standing there for a long time, and Yu Ling Jing had long noticed it, but he did not want to take the initiative to talk to Qi Wan County, nor did he want to stop his conversation with Ruan Qing Yan because of Qi Wan County, because what he hated the most was to be interrupted while talking about official matters.

 C14

    Qi Wan County coughed lightly and slowly walked in. Her lotus dress moved slightly, giving off a heroic vibe, yet it did not lose its grace. It made people think that Wei Jin was a romantic.


    "When did you get here?" When Ruan Qingyan saw her good friend, she immediately put on a smiling face.


    "Not long after. I didn''t want to interrupt you, so I waited. " Qi Wanshi smiled, and his gaze was gentle. Yu Ling Jing looked at Qi Lang, and couldn''t help but be startled, when she smiled she was really pretty, of course Yu Ling Jing had seen a lot of beauties, but Qi Ling County was indeed the most beautiful one, it was just that he very rarely saw any expression on his face, he never thought that her smile would actually be so pretty, with a bit of a little girl''s innocence.


    However, someone had forgotten that he looked good when he smiled. Other than his polite smile, he didn''t seem to smile much. His sincere smile must have been far away from him.


    "Qingyan, didn''t you say you want to go to Yu Ling Jing to see the imperial physician? I''ll go with you." Qi Wan County''s tone was gentle, not at all like when he was speaking to Yu Ling Jing.


    "Alright." Ruan Qingyan nodded gently.


    "Sure." Yu Ling Jing said indifferently, but the two girls chose to ignore him and kept walking forward.


    "And me." An official who came out of nowhere suddenly shouted.


    Yu Lingjing stared at her friend.


    The official was a bit helpless as he shouted: "Yu Ling Jing, you''re too much of a friend just like that. If you vent all of your anger on me, be careful that I don''t want you anymore." As he spoke, he put his hand on Yu Lingjing''s shoulder.


    Yu Lingjing tore his hand off.


    The official continued unabashedly instructing the students. After going back and forth a few times, Yu Ling Jing didn''t care anymore. Yu Ling Jing took a step forward and snatched them away. The two women didn''t ask where the imperial physician was and just left. Meanwhile, the shadow of the government office started to look like it was being dragged along by Yu Ling Jing.


    "Let me stand a bit better." The store owner was a bit speechless. Why was this friend of his relying on his superior martial arts to bully him when he was just walking along the road? He was truly scheming against him. The atmosphere around the four of them had become much more relaxed with the aid of the gem.


    Looking at the door plaque that was covered with dust, the official was somewhat speechless.


    "Yu Lingjing, why do you live with this dog official? Why don''t you stay with me? "These few days, I''ve been living by myself with a few servants that I can''t be any more foolish. I''m so bored that I''m about to go crazy." The shadow of the government office kept talking non-stop. If it weren''t for Yu Ling Jing who knew that this person was usually sloppy and careless, he would have thrown him away.


    "Is that any better than this?" Yu Ling Jing''s clothes showed his interest.


    "I wasn''t so good to begin with, but after a few days of taking a good rest due to boredom, I''ve gotten rich and willful." The shadow of the official looked like he was proudly asking for praise.


    "Oh? "You evil businessman, are you stupid to bring in so much money to build a house in a disaster area?" Yu Lingjing shook off the shadow of the official''s office and refused to move forward. He was already used to Yu Ling Jing changing expressions faster than a book could be flipped, but he no longer spoke to him. He shifted his gaze to the two beauties behind him.


    "I heard that this County Magistrate is a pervert. Are you afraid?" The shadow of the official''s office raised his eyebrows, his face full of wicked amusement.


    "We''ve been here for so long, nothing happened. What''s there to be afraid of?" Ruan Qingyan had a serious look on her face.


    "Qi Wan County cast a meaningful glance at the official''s shadow." Even more perverted than you? Let me tell you, I should be afraid of which dog''s county magistrate. " The corner of the official''s mouth twitched, luckily this woman was going to marry Yu Ling Jing, he felt that only Yu Ling Jing could actually suppress this woman, and if someone else were to marry Qi Shu County, they would probably die.


    "Aiyo, the prince is back." The magistrate eagerly ran out to receive Yu Ling Jing.


    "There''s still young master official." The county magistrate knew that his eyes were almost out of sight. However, when he saw the two girls behind him, his expression couldn''t help but change greatly.


    The County Magistrate would never forget these two girls in his life. He still remembered the day they arrived. One of his subordinates happened to run into them, and hurriedly came to report to him. One had to admit that the subordinate of the magistrate also had the courage to remain calm in the face of such a serious disaster. He was still in the mood to introduce the pretty girls to his master. It was the first time that the county magistrate had seen such a beautiful girl.


    However, he didn''t go out to see the plague. Just as he was thinking about how to "invite" the two girls over, the girl actually came to him herself.


    But the way these two girls appeared was just as extraordinary as their appearance. The two girls had already kicked the door of the official''s office to the point of collapse. At the start, although the County Magistrate jumped with his back towards the door, he still felt that the two girls had quite the character. In the end, the two girls kicked each other and sat on his seat, watching him. The speed at which the hair dyed the magistrate thought he had seen a ghost.


    Then, the two girls started to interrogate him about the disaster in this place and even asked him why he didn''t save the people. Only then did the magistrate find out that the person he met wasn''t a girl, but a grandaunt. Originally, he didn''t want to say it, but a sword suddenly shot out from a girl ten meters away, right in front of his feet.


    The magistrate nearly peed his pants. The officials walking in such a small area had never encountered such a scene before. He then explained everything in detail. Unexpectedly, one of the young ladies in blue actually started laughing when she heard this.


    At that time, the county magistrate only felt a chill down his spine. Fortunately, the other girl in yellow took the blue-clothed girl''s hand and whispered a few words into his ear. Then the girl in blue stopped laughing, waved her hand in front of his eyes, and left.


    The County Magistrate then spent the next few days having food for a week. Thinking of this, the County Magistrate couldn''t help but feel his legs go soft. He came to his senses and looked at the two girls. He almost lost his balance.


    When Ruan Qingyan saw the county magistrate''s reaction, the corner of her mouth raised into a mocking smile. Then, she wickedly walked in front of the county magistrate and waved her hand. The county magistrate was so shocked that he directly sat on the ground. Qi Wanli raised his lips. Originally, Ruan Qingyan had wanted to kill the County Magistrate. However, Qi Wanli County felt that this person might be of some use if he stayed, so they let Ruan Qingyan only punish him a little.


    When Yu Lingjing saw the magistrate''s expression, he couldn''t help but furrow his brows. This was truly embarrassing. Guan Yuanzhong did not know what happened, but he felt that it was funny and started laughing loudly on the side.


    The magistrate felt his face grow hot as he quickly stood up from the ground.


    The outside of the government office looked extremely dilapidated, but it didn''t look like it was in the disaster area at all. There were also women with complicated clothes and delicate makeup walking down the corridor.


    "You can leave." Yu Lingjing waved his hand impatiently, signaling for the magistrate to stand down.


    The shadow official quickly started to ask Qi Shu and the others what had happened to the dog official just now. Ruan Qingyan''s mood was very good, so she slowly explained everything that had happened. The shadow of the official became happier when he heard this. Yu Lingjing coughed twice, but the corners of her mouth raised in a smile.


    "If you want to laugh, laugh. Why are you holding yourself back?" The official rolled his eyes at Yu Lingjing''s cold and aloof attitude.


    Yu Ling Jing glanced at him, and he felt the temperature of his body drop. He shouted again, "Yu Ling Jing, you are a f * cking magical summer weapon."


    Yu Ling Jing couldn''t be bothered with him, and strode forward.


    Qi Wanxian stared at Yu Ling Jing''s back, for a moment he didn''t understand how two people with completely different personalities could become good friends. Although the two of them did not seem to have a good relationship, but if they were friends, no matter how bold the officer was, he would not act so brazenly in front of Ling Jing again. However, what did this have to do with her? Thinking of this, Qi Wan shook her head. She really liked to meddle in other people''s business more and more.


    "Prince, come back." Yu Lingjing''s underlings hurriedly lifted the four of them and pushed open the living room door.


    "Mm, go and call the old masters over. I have something to discuss with them." Yu Ling Jing ordered as he walked.


    "Yes, sir." After finishing his sentence, his subordinate quickly but silently ran into the room next to the net. Qi Wan County''s expression darkened. He never thought that any of Yu Ling Jing''s subordinates would have such good skills. Then why was he in danger last time? While thinking about this, Qi Lun looked at Yu Ling Jing, and Yu Ling Jing also happened to raise their heads to meet Qi Lun''s gaze, but immediately moved away. On the battlefield, looking is a good way to intimidate the enemy. But now, when he saw the clear eyes of Qi Lan county, his first thought was to escape. [What the hell is going on with me?


    Yu Ling Jing frowned, and couldn''t help but bang his fingers on the table a few times. At this time, the official suddenly quieted down, silently drinking his tea while sprawled on the chair. However, his eyes did not stop for a moment. When he sent it out, Qi Wan County had already started to wander. Yu Ling Jing had lost his mind for a split-second just now, so it was obvious that Er Ruan Qing Yan was impatient. It seemed like he was the one with the best mood in the entire room.


    "Greetings, Your Highness." A dozen imperial physicians dozens of years old knelt on the ground and shouted in unison.


    "Yes." "Get up." Yu Lingjing waved her hand. The servants immediately brought enough chairs for the imperial physicians to sit down.


    "Miss Ruan, you first." Yu Lingjing glanced at Ruan Qingyan and nodded slightly.


    All of the imperial physicians were surprised and puzzled. What did the prince want a girl to say?

 C15

    The imperial physicians suspected in their hearts that Yu Ling Jing had said something, but on the surface, it seemed as if he was treated with great respect. However, when their gazes turned towards Ruan Qing Yan, they became somewhat disdainful. It was just a girl, what could he do? On the other hand, Ruan Qingyan had an indifferent expression. After all, she was already used to it.


    "Ladies and gentlemen, imperial physicians!" "I am called Ruan Qingyan. I have come here just to discuss the disaster area." In any case, they had to put on a friendly front. When the imperial physicians heard his words, all of them were startled. This little girl was unexpectedly the Medical Saint, Ruan Qingyan. They all knew that the Medical Saint was a woman, but they never thought that he would be so young. From their point of view, it was very difficult for a woman to become an expert in medicine, and even if she succeeded, it would still take more time than a man. However, they never expected that the legendary Medical Saint, whose achievements surpassed theirs, would not even reach a third of their age. Furthermore, I''ve heard that since the Medical Saint was established, doing things for treatment depends entirely on one''s mood and one''s ability to see through others. Those who didn''t like the look of him, so he didn''t treat him. Those who came to cause trouble would use poison. Furthermore, the poison he used, even if it wasn''t fatal, it would still cause extreme pain. He didn''t expect that the legendary Poison Saint Jia Zheng would actually be a little girl that seemed like a wet behind the ears in their eyes.


    "Greetings Miss Ruan. I''ve heard of your great name for a long time. However, why are you here?" You''re too talkative, so you asked in doubt ¡­


    "The reason why I''m here has nothing to do with you. Don''t worry about it too much." Ruan Qingyan said indifferently, the smile on her face had disappeared! The imperial physician was a little angry when he heard this. This girl was really arrogant. It looked like he had to treat her instead. But he forgot, no matter what, he was still an elder. Although in terms of medical skills, he might not be as good as Ruan Qingyan, but in terms of age and mentality, he should at least be more mature than Ruan Qingyan. He had lived for dozens of years.


    "You girl, you don''t know what''s good for you. How can you speak to me like that?" The imperial physician''s tone was a little impatient. Qi Wanjun actually laughed out loud when he heard this, okay, it was just that although his tone of voice was a bit impatient, it made people feel that he was like a little daughter-in-law. They didn''t know why he was so old, how could he use such a tone to compare notes with a little girl, and it was one-sided at that.


    Yu Lingjing coughed softly to one side, and the imperial physician suddenly discovered that he''d lost his composure. He then sat upright.


    "This Old Master, I don''t think I said anything." You don''t have to be so anxious, and although I''m younger than you, I started to study medicine from the moment I was born. Okay, I forgot that you''re so much older than me, so although my time to study medicine is shorter than yours, the people I live through may not be any less than yours. " Ruan Qingyan smiled.


    The imperial physician was immediately angered to the point that his face turned red. Indeed, when he learned medicine, he had gone to the imperial palace and stayed there as long as he could to treat his concubine''s illness or the official''s mild illness. Sometimes, when he had a serious illness, several imperial physicians would treat it. He had long forgotten about his own strength, but how could he be willing to admit that he was weaker than a little girl? " "Little girl, you''re truly arrogant. Even if you cure more people than I do, you cause more people than me, right?" As he said this, he felt that he was simply too smart! He couldn''t help but reveal a complacent smile.


    "I say, where did this old man come from?" Ruan Qingyan rolled her eyes, " Aren''t you afraid that if you anger me, I''ll make you my next target? "


    "I asked you to come here to discuss the disaster area. Why did you talk so much nonsense? If I didn''t say something, you wouldn''t have stopped." Yu Lingjing glanced at the imperial physician. The other imperial physicians originally wanted to watch a good show, but now, Yu Lingjing was glaring at them. At that time, they suddenly remembered that they were not here to compete against this little girl.


    "Hehe, it''s him who wants to say it, not me." Ruan Qingyan let out a cold laugh. "Alright, I''ll get down to business now. Listen to what you guys want to hear, and listen to what you don''t want to hear. However, the prerequisite is that you don''t have to make any noise and interrupt me."


    "I''ve been in this disaster area for a long time. That''s right, I definitely know more about the victims'' diseases than you do." So let me introduce to you the main illnesses of the victims here. There are some places that I might not have thought of, so I''d like to ask the imperial physicians to tell me about them so that I can better find a cure for the plague. " Ruan Qingyan seemed to have completely forgotten about the disagreement between her and the imperial physician just now.


    The imperial physicians sat on their chairs as they listened to Ruan Qingyan''s clear and organized narration of the victims'' situations. They followed what Ruan Qingyan had said and sank into deep thought. From Ruan Qingyan''s description, it could be known that the plague here, if it could be controlled as soon as possible, would not have developed to such a state. But now it was too late.


    "I feel that even if I say so, you won''t be able to fully understand the patient''s condition, so after he has rested, go and see the patient yourself. After that, I will show you the list of medicines that I have written, and if there is anything amiss, you can discuss it with me. "Although I do not like some of you, I will not disobey your advice because of this little bit of affection. I hope you will believe me." With the current situation, with Ruan Qingyan''s performance, she had the ability to lead.


    When the imperial physician who had been bickering with her heard this, he couldn''t help but feel ashamed. Why did he suddenly lose control of his emotions? It was a waste of so much time to say such inappropriate words. It was enough to say that a physician was kind-hearted to even think of bickering with a lady in a situation like this. This imperial physician wasn''t a particularly petty person. He had always liked to say whatever he wanted to say, but he''d said everything he wanted to say. Of course, what he said was true, as well as what most of the imperial physicians present were thinking.


    "I''m sorry, girl. The words that I have said earlier were not intentional, it''s just that this old man really doesn''t believe that a young lady has achieved such a great achievement at such a young age. "


    "Oh, is that so? Then should I thank you for your praise?" Ruan Qingyan smiled.


    "Hehe, that won''t be necessary. I just hope that Miss doesn''t take my words to heart." The imperial physician felt a little awkward.


    "I think you''ve had enough rest. Go and see the patient." Yu Lingjing said coldly.


    Everyone stood up. Qi Wan County and Ruan Qing Yan were at the back.


    "These patients are quite sick. Although we have already done our best to take care of them, there are still a lot of them, so there are still a lot of them who haven''t been taken care of in time. Now that you guys are here, I hope you can cooperate well with us. "Of course, you can also think that we are cooperating with you. We don''t have any objections." Ruan Qingyan said slowly.


    "Alright." All the imperial physicians nodded their heads. Although they were proud and arrogant, they were still imperial physicians after all, so they still had their own qualities. Furthermore, there weren''t any imperial physicians who were particularly proud of them.


    "Miss, what I want to ask is, how long have these people been sick for?" An imperial physician said slowly while stroking his beard.


    "Of course not. If I had been sick for too long, I would have died a long time ago." Seeing that Ruan Qing Yan was too lazy to reply, Qi Wanli answered on his behalf. Ruan Qingyan had indeed talked a little too much these past few days, so it was normal for her not to want to talk anymore.


    "It actually didn''t last long. Didn''t you come for a long time? Why don''t you know how to isolate these people?" An imperial physician said with a frown.


    "Of course we know that it is useless to isolate them. The illness of this plague seemed to be delaying the onset of the disease. We didn''t know at first that we were going to put people who didn''t look sick in the same place, but we didn''t expect them to still be sick. It took us a while to figure out that we couldn''t see the plague in the beginning, so we were too careless. " Qi Dian continued to speak, while Ruan Qingyan did not say anything. This was one of the biggest failures he had suffered since he started his treatment.


    "So that''s how it is, but it can''t be blamed on the girls. If it''s us, we might not be able to deal with it well, so the two ladies need not blame themselves. " A benevolent imperial physician said kindly.


    "Yes." We don''t feel that we''re at fault, we''re just repeating the truth. " Qi Wan County continued to speak bluntly.


    "Eh, the lady''s words are quite direct." The benevolent imperial physician continued.


    "Forget it, it''s better if you all take good care of the patient. Don''t talk about such nonsense here." Qi Wan County glanced at the imperial physicians, then turned around and walked out. He did not understand why there was no need to stay here. Moreover, there was someone inside that he did not want to see.


    The imperial physicians looked at Qi Wan County''s back. It seemed like the two ladies were really similar in personality to each other.


    Yu Ling Jing looked at Qi Wan County walking away, and then his feet moved, as if he was about to give chase, but then stopped. Looking at his good friend acting like this, he couldn''t help but find it funny. It was quite rare for a wargod to hesitate for a woman. Yu Lingjing noticed the official''s unrestrained gaze. It seemed that this brat liked to peek at other people''s thoughts while trying to guess their faults, but he hadn''t changed at all! Seeing that Yu Ling Jing was paying attention to him, he was not anxious at all. Instead, he gave him a meaningful smile. Yu Ling Jing raised his eyebrows, and the officer turned his gaze towards another direction.

 C16

    Qi Wan County stood at the door and took a few deep breaths. He stared blankly at the withered trees.


    Just now, she had been in the same room with Yu Ling Jing. Although it wasn''t just the two of them and she had pretended not to see his appearance, she didn''t know why her own heart had always been thinking about him.


    Qi Wan County shook his head, thinking that he was only doing it because Yu Ling Jing was his fianc¨¦, but he didn''t like him, and the other person didn''t like him either.


    She told herself that this was something a girl would always care about. After all, it was her life. Even though he had walked in the martial arts world for many years and his entire body was exuding the aura of the martial arts world, which girl didn''t want him to marry to her? Which girl wouldn''t care if the person she married cared about her? But she seemed to have forgotten who she was?


    She never cared about people she didn''t care about. She did things on her own conscience. But now he was thinking about someone she didn''t like, someone he didn''t know about. This at least showed that even though he didn''t like Yu Ling Jing, he still had a good impression of her. However, he kept denying this good impression because he still hated her. He still subconsciously believed that Yu Lingjing was the cause of his family''s destruction.


    The imperial physicians and Ruan Qingyan were discussing various plans nonstop.


    When he walked out, he even specially glanced at Qi Lun, who was standing outside. Seeing that the other party seemed to be completely distracted, he was too lazy to bother her.


    Yu Ling Jing stood to the side and listened attentively to their conversation. After a while, he also felt that it was a bit boring. The words he used were all professional jargon and he couldn''t understand them at all.


    Yu Lingjing turned around and looked at Qi Wanxian, who was standing outside the door. He stood beside him, unable to move his hand.


    Qi Wanshi felt a person standing beside him. He didn''t need to guess to know who it was. He did not say anything and continued to stay in a daze as if no one else was around. Yu Ling Jing laughed, indicating his presence.


    "Why did you come out?" Do you want to quarrel with me, or do you want to tell me how I am? " Qi Wan County''s tone was extremely unkind. The moment she saw this person, she felt very uncomfortable in her heart, but he couldn''t say what she felt. She didn''t want to see Yu Ling Jing anyways.


    "Your words are really spiteful. I don''t have any enmity towards you. You are my savior. " Yu Lingjing emphasized the words'' benefactor ''.


    "Oh so it''s like that. Looks like I was overthinking it." You''re right. Just now, you had a cold and aloof look on your face. If I didn''t say anything, how could I bear to start a fight with him? "It seems like I''ve been getting more and more stupid recently, and my nonsense has gotten more and more frequent." Qi Wan County raised his lips with a disdainful expression.


    "I think you''re thinking too much." Yu Ling Jing didn''t know what to say, so he simply answered without thinking.


    "Yes, I did." The conversation between the two was inexplicable and completely illogical. It was simply out of character for them.


    "Yes." Yu Lingjing replied dryly. Afterwards, everything quieted down, and only the sounds coming from within the room could be heard. The atmosphere instantly turned awkward. However, both of them seemed to be used to this kind of atmosphere!


    "Mi County, come in for a moment." Ruan Qingyan called out from inside the room.


    "Qi Lang took a look at Yu Ling Jing and quickly walked in." Qing Yan, what''s wrong? " Qi Wan County softly said.


    "Oh, I see that you are outside. You seem rather bored. Why don''t you come in and help me!" Ruan Qingyan smiled indifferently. He knew that he did not want to be alone with Yu Ling Jing. He had to say, having such a good friend was a great blessing in the life of Qi Shu. However, in the days to come, he wouldn''t need to speak to understand her. His good friends would help him a lot. She was always there when he needed her.


    Yu Lingjing turned around and looked at everything in the room, feeling that there was no longer any need for him to stay here. It would be better to take a good look at the situation of the disaster area.


    "Hey! "Yu Ling Jing, why did you come out as well? Aren''t you going to stay there and keep the beauty company?" The official appeared out of nowhere and placed a hand on Yu Lingjing''s shoulder.


    "Beauty is your patent, how can I fight with you for it? I can''t fight with you over it, right?" Yu Lingjing said with a smile that was not a smile.


    "Aiyo, it''s been three days since we last saw each other." My Lord War God can also joke around, and he can even drive this kind of thing. He''s really improved a lot " The official sat in front of Yu Ling Jing with a mischievous smile on his face. He looked like he was laughing without a care in the world. Yu Lingjing frowned.


    "Stop messing around, I have serious matters to attend to. You have also been here for quite some time." You should know the terrain better than me, so bring me to see how the patients and the commoners are divided up. " Yu Ling Jing put on a serious front, and Guan Lu Ying knew that this was not a good time to joke around. If I were to joke around, I would still have plenty of time in the future.


    "It''s a good thing that there are only a few families here. Those families lived in the southernmost part of the city. The rest is in this area. So you know why the dog officer didn''t have the plague? I hope he didn''t do anything, but he did a good job of protecting himself! " As he spoke, he winked at Yu Ling Jing.


    "Can you talk properly?!" Yu Lingjing was somewhat helpless.


    "Did I not speak properly? Everything I said was the truth. I just felt that it was inappropriate not to say anything in response. Otherwise, how could you be worthy of my good face, right?" The official began to laugh again.


    "Can you stop talking so much? Why are you spouting so much nonsense to such a big person?" Yu Ling Jing walked with big strides.


    "If I say that you have no expression, then how can others not have one as well?" The official did not take Yu Lingjing''s words at all and continued.


    "Right, right, I have a lot of feelings for you. You''re handsome, so no matter what, you''re right, okay?" Yu Lingjing was also drunk. She really wanted to give it a slap, but it seemed as if she had lost her prince''s demeanor!


    "Aiyo, Lord War God''s mouth is really quite sweet. These words are too harsh on the ears, but I feel that you are the most handsome one here, truly." The official slowly spoke.


    Yu Lingjing was talking to the official, but her eyes were scanning the surroundings. The street was deathly still, as if it were a deserted place.


    Yu Ling Jing walked outside for an afternoon and identified a few places that could be used as a treatment center.


    "Guan Guying, you have a lot of money, right? Then come and help me." It was clearly an inquiry, but Yu Lingjing spoke with a commanding tone.


    "I say, you, a prince, still need me, a commoner. Help? I have no money, my family is poor. " The shadow of the official rolled his eyes. Was there anyone who begged like that?


    "If your family is poor, then the world is full of poor people. The resources of the court will not come for a while, so it will be up to you. " Yu Lingjing said lightly.


    "Damn, you guys really know how to do business. Who is the businessman? I''m gonna lose my life!" The shadow of the official station around Yu Ling Jing a few times.


    "I''ll return the materials to you when they arrive." Yu Lingjing made a detour around the official''s shadow and walked towards the front.


    "Alright, alright, alright. I''ll return it twice the original amount." Then he whistled.


    "In your dreams!" Yu Ling Jing quickly rushed forward.


    "Why are you running? "If it wasn''t for me, where would you be borrowing money from?" Guan Siying also used his Qing Gong to chase after Yu Ling Jing. It had been a long time since the two of them had gotten together, and it wasn''t easy for them to get together. How could they not compete in Qing Gong which they were all extremely proud of? Unfortunately, Yu Lingjing didn''t seem to want to compete with the officials. He continued to fly forward.


    On the other hand, the shadow of the government office was very excited. He followed closely behind but he was still a step away. He secretly cursed himself in his heart. Could it be that it was because he hadn''t practiced for a long time? In the past, the attacks of the two were on par with each other. Although they were only a single step away, for martial artists, especially Fang Ling Jing, it had to be said that this was a huge improvement. After all, the stronger they were, the harder it was for them to improve.


    Returning to the government, Qi Lang, Ruan Qingyan, and the crowd of imperial physicians, he didn''t know when, but he had long since returned.


    "Why are you guys here? Shouldn''t you hate this place?" The official looked at Qi Lun County and said.


    "It''s not easy to refuse these imperial physicians'' kind invitation." Ruan Qingyan said indifferently.


    "Oh, since when did your relationship get better?" The official felt that it was really strange!


    "Young master official, you don''t understand. This is called having the same interests." An imperial physician interrupted. That afternoon just now, they had completely changed their attitude towards Ruan Qingyan. At the beginning, they had some doubts about his strength, but after an afternoon of interaction, they discovered that Ruan Qingyan''s strength was truly a lot better than theirs.


    Everyone wants to be able to make great progress in their field. The medical skills of these imperial physicians were naturally not bad, so those who could consult with them were few and far in between. Now that they finally met someone with such difficulty, although she was just a young lady, they had no choice but to accept it, because a young lady''s strength was obvious to everyone.


    "I don''t understand? "Of course I understand. When I was strolling around the building, I talked to those young masters about it."


    The atmosphere suddenly became strange.

 C17

    "How shameless!" Qi Wanjun turned his head and glanced at the official''s shadow.


    "What do you want to do with your face? Can you also use it for a meal?" The official continued to act with complete lawlessness.


    Yu Lingjing stood off to the side, frowning. This was the look he''d been wearing most of the past few days. Not only because of the victims, but also because he found out that he really didn''t know anything about Qi Wan County.


    "Let''s get down to business." Yu Lingjing spoke up.


    "What do you mean know each other? Now that everything is done, what else is there to say?" Right now, the most important thing is to eat. " The shadow of the official rolled his eyes as he moved closer to Yu Ling Jing.


    "It''s all over? So many things. " Yu Ling Jing didn''t look at him, and couldn''t see the bottom of his eyes.


    "Even if you haven''t finished, you still have to eat. How can you have the strength to work if you don''t eat?" The official''s shadow rolled his eyes. Why was this Yu Ling Jing still devoid of any human feelings? He had thought that Ye Zichen would joke around and change his personality. In the end, he thought too much and there was nothing to it.


    "You''re right, then let''s eat." Yu Lingjing''s brows never relaxed.


    "Hahaha, we can finally eat." The pure smile on the official''s face did not match her identity at all.


    "But what to eat?" Ruan Qingyan looked at the official in front of her and threw out this question.


    "Eat, what else can you eat?" The shadow of the official rolled his eyes.


    "Why do I feel like there''s no food here?" Qi Wanli indifferently spoke.


    "How can there be no food? "Look at how well this county magistrate has done ¡­" As he spoke, the shadow official also felt that something was amiss.


    "Oh, I forgot to tell you guys. Before I left, I told the magistrate that I wouldn''t be eating here tonight?" Yu Lingjing felt a little awkward.


    "F * ck, have you gone stupid?" The official said in a speechless manner ¡­ "Then what do they eat ¡­" "Why haven''t we seen that idiot''s county magistrate yet!" The official felt that his friends were more of a scam than a scam.


    "Oh, and I told her not to show up in front of me, and then to call me again." Yu Lingjing continued to look paralyzed.


    "Yu Ling Jing... War God was just like this ¡­ It was indeed extraordinary. Then why didn''t you send someone to cook? " The shadow of the official was on the verge of exploding. He had been starving for a very long time, so his stomach had been protesting for a long time. It was just that there was still no sound coming from it.


    "All the doctors I brought were imperial physicians, nothing that could cook." Yu Lingjing told the truth.


    "Oh, then you still want to talk about eating?" The official was somewhat speechless.


    "I didn''t say anything. I was eating. You said you wanted to eat." Yu Lingjing''s tone was as stubborn as ever.


    "F * ck your grandmother, did I curse you?" He felt like a volcano was erupting in his heart. But there was nothing he could do about Yu Ling Jing!


    "To be honest, I thought you were going to call me over to your place for dinner." Yu Lingjing felt a bit embarrassed.


    "You''re thinking too much." The shadow of the official walked to a stone bench beside the stone path and sat down. "Then come to me, my servants are pretty quick."


    "Aren''t all your servants there to help? Why are there people who cook? " Qi Wan County suddenly opened his mouth.


    "Well, I forgot. I just ate and drank at your place a few days ago. " "Oh?" The shadow official scratched his head. "Then let the county magistrate send someone to cook for us." The official''s gaze shifted to Yu Ling Jing.


    "I don''t want to talk to him. I don''t want to send people to talk to him either. " Yu Ling Jing really didn''t give up.


    "I say, can a prince not be so arrogant!" The official was close to howling into the sky.


    "You are just an official young master, can you not talk so much nonsense?" Ruan Qingyan''s ears were about to turn into a cocoon and she could not help but say it out loud.


    "Good, good, good." The shadow of the official closed his mouth. So what if he was hungry? In any case, he wasn''t the only one with a group of people accompanying him. There was still a prince, so it was worth it.


    Yu Lingjing felt that it didn''t matter if he ate less than he did, but these imperial physicians weren''t young anymore, and it wouldn''t be good if he didn''t eat. They still had to take care of the patients tomorrow, so they needed a lot of effort.


    "Then please help me, ladies." Yu Ling Jing turned his gaze towards Qi Shu County, and Ruan Qing Yan.


    "You want us to cook?" Qi Wan County met his gaze.


    "Yes." Yu Lingjing responded indifferently.


    "Alright." Yu Ling Jing originally thought that Qi Shu asked to reject, but he didn''t expect him to still agree.


    "Where''s the kitchen?" Qi Wanxian turned his head away from Yu Lingjing.


    Yu Lingjing pointed to the back.


    "Qing Yan, let''s go." Qi Dian looked in front of him and indifferently said.


    "Yes." Ruan Qingyan followed him. Yu Ling Jing also silently followed. On the other hand, Guang Ying laid down on the stone bench and slept. Before he closed his eyes, he even shouted out loudly. Remember to call me when the meal is ready. "


    Seeing that the masters had all left, the imperial physicians were at a loss as to what to do. In the end, they all slowly went back. The monologues in their hearts are the same as the officials'', remember to call us after dinner, we are really tired.


    Yu Lingjing was standing in front of the stove, cooking skillfully. Qi Wan County felt that it was a bit strange, but thinking about it, it was quite normal. If a person who stayed at the border all year round didn''t know how to cook, then he would have probably starved to death long ago. Even if he was.


    Yu Ling Jing watched the surroundings while cooking. Then he saw Qi Wanxian crouching at another stove to set Ruan Qingyan on fire. The light of the fire on his face brought a hint of gentleness to him. It was very warm. Just what kind of woman was he? Yu Ling Jing, who had never been interested in women, suddenly became curious.


    "Cut this radish." Qi Wan County looked at Yu Ling Jing and said. She seemed less disgusted now that she was living in the same room with him. Yu Ling Jing quietly picked up the radish, and in a few strokes, he had cut it into neat and thin strands.


    Soon, they finished cooking. The speed at which they were cooking was astonishing. Perhaps it was because they were all martial artists, so they moved quickly.


    After the meal, Yu Ling Jing asked a portion of the imperial physicians. He went to rest. It was already night time. Although there were many patients who needed to be taken care of, he knew that he still needed to work together. He couldn''t just squeeze out more labor.


    "Your Royal Highness, you''ve worked hard for the entire day, so you should go rest." The rest, the servants will do it. " One of his men said to Yu Lingjing as he felt blessed.


    Yu Lingjing walked out as if she didn''t hear him. Qi Dian was slightly curious, but he didn''t ask any further. She also had to take care of the patients. Too much time had been wasted today.


    Yu Ling Jing stayed in the stuffy room, looking at the patients lying on the wooden boards. Qi Wanshi pushed open the door, and upon seeing this magnificent back, she didn''t know why, but she suddenly felt that this man was actually very lonely. It was a cold feeling at high places, but Qi Wanli felt that this was the feeling he liked.


    "What are you doing here?" Qi Wan County subconsciously asked.


    Of course, Yu Ling Jing knew who it was. He knew who it was from the sound of the footsteps, so he didn''t turn around. However, he did not want to answer Qi Wan County''s question.


    After a while, Yu Lingjing finally spoke up.


    "The peace and stability of the people is the foundation of the world. The Emperor loves his people, but there are few officials." Qi Wanli was surprised when he heard this, as this really didn''t seem like what Yu Ling Jing would say to her.


    "For one''s own benefit, they would completely disregard others. This is the style of the imperial court." Qi Wan County sneered.


    "I''m not answering the question." Yu Ling Jing said coldly.


    "I didn''t realize your question was a question, and I was just expressing my own thoughts, so there''s no need to act like this." Qi Wanxian walked past Yu Ling Jing, looking down to check on the health of the patients.


    Yu Ling Jing looked at his back, and everything became abnormally quiet. However, it was destined to be a restless night.


    Qi Wan County''s investigation revealed the patients'' condition in each room, while Yu Lingjing just followed behind the man without saying a word ¡­


    "I say, Your Highness, there''s no need for you to act like this at all. You should have gone to rest a long time ago." Qi Dian County was very dissatisfied with this "follow the little bastard" who came out of nowhere, even though he was definitely the most handsome follower in the world.


    "It''s necessary." Yu Lingjing spoke concisely. Qi Wan County naturally wasn''t narcissistic enough to think that Yu Ling Jing was left behind for his own sake. From the looks of it, Yu Lingjing was still very concerned about his character. It seemed that he wasn''t the same as those so-called good officials. How many powerful figures could do such a thing personally? Qi Wanxian''s heart to Yu Ling Jing a little more good impression.


    After checking the last room, the two of them walked down the path. Suddenly, another kind of night breeze blew by. The leaves on the trees rustled loudly and gave off a chilly feeling. It seemed as if a person''s shadow was drifting past somewhere. Yu Ling Jing looked around warily. He didn''t notice anything, but seeing something didn''t mean it didn''t exist. Clearly, there were other people here as well, and there were more than one who came with ill intentions. Qi Dian County also felt the abnormality. Neither of them was armed now.


    The cold wind stood behind the fence, looking at the silver moon. He didn''t expect that Yu Ling Jing and his fiancee would be there too. He could finally kill two birds with one stone. He didn''t manage to get anything last time, so he had to succeed this time! He recalled that Yu Lingjing shouldn''t have been on the ground today, as his entire body was covered in blood. Thinking of this, he couldn''t help but reveal a proud smile on his face.


    Some people are like that. He was always overly confident in himself, and always liked to be happy too early. When he really failed, then he would feel that this was a form of humiliation for him.

 C18

    "Be careful!" Suddenly, a beam of golden light shot out from the bushes at the side.


    "Am I that weak in your eyes?" Qi Wan County somewhat disdained Yu Ling Jing''s reminder. Last time he saved Yu Ling Jing, Yu Ling Jing already knew of his strength.


    Yu Lingjing didn''t say anything. One person after another jumped out from the crowd. Yu Lingjing thought to himself that the Crown Prince had become smarter, knowing that there were more than twenty people who were no match for him. This time, it seemed to have doubled ¡­ Although not all the killers had come out, but Yu Lingjing quickly realized that not all of them came out at this point. There were still a lot of them. But he wasn''t in a hurry. He had confidence in himself. He also had confidence in Qi Wan County.


    "Being with you is a problem. I told you not to follow me, and now I''m going to solve your problem. " Qi Dian lightly said. When the killers saw the two of them bare-handed, they couldn''t help but relax a little, and their movements also slowed down by a few steps.


    It was said that Yu Ling Jing had unparalleled martial arts, but they didn''t believe that he didn''t have a weapon. They couldn''t kill him yet, and the girl next to him looked weak, but she sounded very arrogant.


    As he said this, Qi Shu quickly retracted his hand. When he extended his hand, there were already several dozen silver needles in it. Rays of cold light flashed through the darkness.


    Everything happened too fast. The assassins were hit in twos and threes before they could react.


    A few weapons fell to the ground. Yu Ling Jing stretched out his hand, and quickly moved his feet, picking up the weapons on the ground.


    In fact, it only took them a few seconds to react to all these actions.


    Their hearts trembled slightly. They didn''t expect that they would underestimate them again. From the time they appeared onstage to now, it had only been less than five seconds, and they were still not ready to make their move. After that, he had already lost several people, although those people didn''t seem to be seriously injured, nor were their faces in pain, but that was because of their good killer training.


    Needless to say, their hand tendons were broken.


    One figure after another flashed through the forest, waiting for the right opportunity to make their move.


    The assassins did not dare to underestimate Yu Ling Jing and her group anymore, and their moves were sinister and ruthless. It was obvious that their target wasn''t just Yu Ling Jing alone, but the two of them.


    "Right now, it seems that I am not the only one who is causing trouble. You are also a big trouble." Yu Lingjing slit her throat with a sword.


    "Hehe, your highness really has the leisure and elegance to talk nonsense with me even in such a situation." Although she didn''t want to have any physical contact with him, but she didn''t want to have any enemies behind her back. This was a principle that should be understood by everyone in the martial arts world.


    "I am not spouting nonsense. I am merely stating the truth." Yu Lingjing said lightly. The assassins saw that they were able to chat as if there was no one around, and felt that they were too arrogant. However, they were indeed quite powerful. Their mouths were talking, but their hands'' movements weren''t as good as that little wind, they were still faster than lightning. In a moment, a dozen people were lying on the ground.


    "Hur hur, indeed." Qi Dian also felt the killing intent of those assassins towards him, if he didn''t have the order from his master. Ordinary killers wouldn''t kill anyone other than their target. In truth, he had obstructed her heart, but at most, he would only be able to make her lose the ability to obstruct him. But now, those assassins were all fatal moves. They didn''t seem to let him off the hook at all.


    "But why do these people want to target you? Is it because of me?" Yu Ling Jing had killed two or three more people.


    "It''s good that you know this. If it wasn''t for you, how could I have lost my family? "If it wasn''t for you, I would still be able to use it. Here ¡­" An assassin''s sword hacked over. The words that were about to come out of Qi Wanli''s mouth were not spoken because he wanted to block this sword attack.


    "Yes, yes, yes. It''s all my fault. However, I did not do it on purpose. The one at fault was actually not me." Yu Ling Jing smiled mockingly as he slept.


    "I know what you want to say, I also know that this matter is just as you said. It really isn''t your fault, but ¡­" "I still can''t do anything ¡­" He actually said what he was thinking under such circumstances.


    "Alright, I can understand."


    "This is ¡­" Qi Wan County focused his attention. But now is not the time to chat. " The sword slash descending from the sky had caused his arm to go numb.


    "I think it''s pretty good. There''s an atmosphere." Yu Ling Jing replied with a sentence that made Qi Shu feel bad enough.


    "Don''t you always pretend to be fucking aloof? "Why did the fight start so quickly? So much bullsh * t ¡­" Qi Wanli couldn''t hold it in any longer and cursed. As expected, the world was as dark as a crow. Who would have thought that Yu Ling Jing would be so unruly with an official?


    "Actually, I''m not talking much nonsense. Just looking at you, I can''t help myself from spouting so much nonsense. Perhaps it''s because you ¡­" A person flashed past Yu Ling Jing''s left side, and he didn''t know what he was going to say. He flipped his right hand, and the assassin fell to the ground. Blood was still trickling from the corner of his mouth. Yu Ling Jing couldn''t help but shout.


    "Come out." The men in black that you hid in the trees jumped out. I don''t know why they came out so obediently to seek death.


    Qi Wanjun suddenly felt that Yu Ling Jing was born with the aura of a king. Yu Ling Jing looked at the men in black, his face revealing a cruel smile.


    Qi Wan County felt that this kind of Yu Ling Scene was simply strange and terrifying. He was like an elegant ghost that had crawled out of the eighteen levels of hell.


    This was a very dangerous person, Qi Wanshi told him. Yu Ling Jing''s body was constantly shuttling back and forth in the dark night. Qi Wan County felt that there was nothing behind him, so when did Yu Ling Jing leave behind her?


    A black cloud covered the moon. Qi Wan County finished off the people on their side and looked towards Yu Lingjing''s direction. He was standing in the middle of a group of people who had fallen to the ground. He was dressed in profound clothes, and his black hair was as black as ink. His entire being seemed to be blending in with the darkness. It was clearly a bloody scene, yet it seemed so extraordinary. Qi Wanshan was actually stunned as he watched.


    "Don''t say that these people must have been sent by the crown prince. Is he bored or not? He has been here for quite a while, and now he''s here again." The air was filled with the thick smell of blood. Yu Ling Jing turned around and looked at Qi Lun County.


    "When you heard the word ''crown prince'', you couldn''t stay calm in Qi Shu County anymore. His eyes reddened, as if he was about to spit fire. He gritted his teeth and said. Crown Prince! One day, I will make him pay with his blood. I must overthrow him step by step and then personally kill him. "


    Yu Lingjing looked at his out of control look and suddenly couldn''t help but want to advise her. "For some reason, he felt a slight pain in his heart." You are a woman after all, so you can''t be too strong. " Yu Lingjing would never know how gentle his voice was right now. Moreover, he wouldn''t know if it was the completely out of control Qi Shu County.


    "But if I don''t rely on myself, who can I rely on?" Qi Dian smiled. His clear and cold eyes coupled with the faint smile on the corner of his mouth made him look very miserable.


    At this moment, the moon had already revealed itself again. The weak moonlight shone on their bodies, but it did not slow down. It was now a sorrowful atmosphere. Yu Lingjing wanted me to give it to him, but didn''t know where to start, and didn''t know what kind of identity to use.


    Friend? Were the two of them not that close to each other in society? Unmarried couple? Not to mention that neither of them wanted to admit it, at least not yet. Yu Ling Jing shook his head helplessly.


    "Forget it." He spoke softly.


    "I finally understand why you like to wear black." Qi Wanjun took a deep breath and said this without any reason. When Yu Lingjing heard this, he was slightly stunned. He looked towards Qi Wanli County, somewhat puzzled.


    "Haha, you don''t have to be afraid because of this. Because you killed someone, your clothes were dirty and you couldn''t tell anyway. And the blood that flows from your own body, no one else can see it. It was a good confusion for both the enemy and his own people. A very good cover. " Qi Wanshi suddenly laughed, laughing so innocently, laughing so unrealistically. This was the first time he smiled like this at Yu Ling Jing.


    Under the moonlight, her yellow skirt was dripping with fresh blood and there were a few drops on her face. Her eyes were like the moon in the sky, clear and cold.


    She just stood there, smiling, with delicate features and bright red blood. It was a very flirtatious woman. For some reason, Yu Ling Jing suddenly wanted to walk over and stroke its head, or hug him and tell him that it was okay.


    She was clearly smiling, but he felt that she was so lonely, so pitiful. But he knew he wouldn''t, and he didn''t need Qi''er, because Qi Wan wasn''t the kind of person who needed someone else''s pity, not someone who needed someone else''s comfort.


    He was very strong, not only because of his strength, but also because of how she felt in her heart. She was different from all other women. Yu Lingjing suddenly felt like he understood something.


    "Hurry up and go, you smell too bad, I don''t want to stay here any longer." Qi Wanshi and Yu Ling Jing were both much better to him, perhaps because they fought side by side just now.


    Yu Ling Jing came back to reality. He had been in the battlefield for a long time, and the smell of blood was nothing to him. He looked at Qi Shu County again, but didn''t say anything. Qi Wanjun felt his gaze, and he lightly smiled, cold and distant.


    He didn''t know what was going on.


    He didn''t know what was going on, so he just smiled and let it go.

 C19

    After Senior Servant Liu gave a warning, Jun Peiyun said, "This is nothing. My father did leave some family property for me, but since I was still young when my father passed away, I had no choice but to live together with my husband and aunt. That money was slowly being spent."


    After the original owner''s uncle found out that Jun Peiyun had so much money, he planned to cheat Jun Peiyun of all her money and use it to do business. The result was that she would never return, so Jun Peiyun naturally had no money left.


    Jiang Xiang Xue was so embarrassed that she didn''t say anything. Everyone with brains could understand the meaning behind Jun Peiyun''s words.


    From this, Jun Peiyun finally knew why the Jiang sisters had come. They were here to get a better understanding of her background.


    At this moment, Jiang Yanxue said, "This is nothing. The Ning family has compensated eldest sister-in-law with ten thousand taels of silver. We won''t have to worry about the future anymore."


    Although they were the young ladies of the Jiang family, they didn''t have 10,000 taels of silver. With this amount of silver, Jun Peiyun could be considered as a dowry, but they were only concubines. In the future, they would definitely not have a dowry worth 10,000 taels of silver.


    "This is the Ning family''s compensation. To be honest, I''m not exactly someone without a dowry." Jun Peiyun responded vaguely.


    The two exchanged a few words, then left.


    Jun Peiyun escorted them to the entrance of the courtyard. The sun was really high. It was only the entrance to the courtyard. Perhaps it was already noon.


    When they got back to the house, Qingmei said, "Young Madam, they are taking care of too many things."


    Jun Peiyun frowned and said, "Qingmei, they are the masters of the mansion, you can''t say that."


    Qing Mei lowered her head. "Qing Mei knows her mistake."


    Senior Servant Liu added appropriately, "Young Madam is right. Qingmei, you should speak less cautiously from now on."


    Qing Mei started to feel even more inferior when she heard Jun Peiyun praise Cai Die like this. She started to suspect that her young miss had already started to despise her, but she didn''t dare to ask.


    When Jiang Xiangxue returned to Aunt Xiang''s courtyard, she hurriedly asked, "How was it, how was that Jun Peiyun?"


    After drinking a few mouthfuls of green bean soup, the servant girl fanned her body for a long time before saying: "Aunt should have given up on this idea as soon as possible. That Jun Peiyun is not a simple person, how could she be able to rope her in? You don''t know what I intentionally tricked her into saying, she didn''t fall for it at all, what I should''ve said shouldn''t have been said, she''s an extremely intelligent person, but she really is the daughter of the Imperial Physician Jun, but she doesn''t have any assets left in her family, only the Ning family''s compensation for her ten thousand taels of silver taels is left."


    Hearing this, Aunt Xiang still didn''t want to give up. "Tell me, do you think the chances of us getting those ten thousand taels of silver are high?"


    Yes, it was because Aunt Xiang saw that there was no one in Jun Peiyun''s mother''s house and had also entered the Jiang manor like this that she wanted to cheat Jun Peiyun of her ten thousand taels of silver.


    Jiang Xiangxue didn''t look optimistic, "Grandmother dotes on her like that. Although the First Wife doesn''t look like much on the surface, that Bright Moon Pavilion has already given her such a good courtyard. There''s also Senior Servant Liu, who was originally the First Wife''s red woman. Now that she''s by her side, how do we get her?"


    This dispelled much of Aunt Xiang''s motivation. "So according to your words, we have no chance at all?"


    Jiang Xiangxue sighed, "I don''t know why Grandmother dotes on her so much, but she''s just a person of unknown origins. Normally, she wouldn''t even be fit to carry my shoes, but today, I''ll call her sister-in-law obediently, and even sell her a lot of smiles. It''s still that Jiang Yanxue who''s smart, plays dumb, and doesn''t need to smile."


    "Why are you comparing yourself to her? She and her concubine are the eldest madam''s dogs. Do you dare to make a sound? I''ve already said not to take her, yet you don''t believe me."


    Wasn''t it to make it less obvious?


    He quickly changed his clothes, and as soon as he came out, he said to Aunt Xiang in a spoiled manner, "Aunt, did you manage to get that piece of cloth I told you about last time? It can''t be that you were hiding it from your daughter, right?"


    In the summer, wearing one was good. Ever since Jiang Xiangxue had looked at it, he had always thought of making two pieces of cloth for her to wear, and since then, he had never been afraid of the heat. Thus, he had always pestered Aunt Xiang to get them for him.


    Aunt Xiang poked at Jiang Xiangxue''s forehead in annoyance, "You have no conscience. If Aunt has any good stuff, I''ll forget about you. I''ll get that cloth for you, but it''s only half a piece. It''s enough for you to make a set of clothes."


    Jiang Xiangxue was unwilling, "Why only half of them? I''ve already asked around. There are four in the mansion. Grandfather and Grandmother asked for two, and Jiang Mengxue asked for one. There should still be one more."


    "Jiang Mengxue said that she wanted to make another set of clothes. Since you know about the eldest wife, you should hold onto her for now. Since your father has already ordered it, the eldest wife should first give half of it to Jiang Mengxue before sending it over." Aunt Xiang said.


    Jiang Xiangxue said hatefully, "That Jiang Mengxue already took one, but he''s still so greedy. He''s really a b * stard."


    The mother and daughter pair couldn''t avoid having to talk for half a day about the eldest wife and daughter.


    On the other side, Jiang Yanxue also told Aunt Liu about Jun Peiyun''s situation. Aunt Liu reminded her, "Ye Xue, now that your grandfather and grandmother value Jun Peiyun, you absolutely cannot offend her. However, seeing how the First Wife is indifferent, you can take good care of yourself."


    Jiang Yanxue responded, then asked: "Aunt, you said that Jiang Xiangxue dragged me to the Bright Moon Pavilion, and then said those words, just what is the meaning of it?"


    Aunt Liu was making clothes for the master. "Who cares what her intentions are. It''s fine as long as her mind isn''t on us."


    Jiang Yanxue sighed and stopped talking.


    Aunt Liu saw that something wasn''t right and put down the things in her hands. "What''s wrong, what''s the matter?"


    Jiang Yanxue looked at Aunt Liu. "Aunt, they''re both concubines, so why is it that Jiang Xiangxue''s life is so good, that he''s practically the same as a direct descendant, and yet I have to be so sullen?"


    These words had probably been in Jiang Yanxue''s mind for a long time, he had only asked this question today.


    Aunt Liu''s eyes widened as she sent all the servants in the room away. "What happened to you today? Why did you suddenly say such words?"


    "Aunt, you don''t know. Today, when eldest sister-in-law asked me, I didn''t say anything, and I didn''t know how to answer her question, so when Jiang Xiangxue entered the pavilion, he didn''t hesitate to tell her a lot. As for me, because of this worry, I didn''t dare to say anything, so I couldn''t understand why I had to worry so much about Jiang Xiangxue not using her. "Why ¡­"


    She held Jiang Yanxue in her arms and said, "Auntie is useless, I didn''t get the favor of your father. You must understand, Auntie Ye Xue is here to help me up, she can help me down at any time, Aunt Liu can''t afford to take the risk, but Auntie Xiang is different. Your father took a liking to him, so he naturally has some confidence."


    The first time when the first master saw Aunt Xiang and said he wanted her concubine, the first wife felt very uncomfortable, but had no choice but to accept it. However, after Aunt Xiang entered the mansion, the first master went to Aunt Xiang''s courtyard every now and then.


    After Jiang Yanxue cried for a while, she raised her head to look at Aunt Liu. She saw that Aunt Liu was even more upset than she was and felt very guilty. "Aunt, your daughter won''t be like this in the future. Your daughter is being insensible and making you sad."


    Aunt Liu dried her tears and shook her head. "Night Snow, Aunt promised you that in the future she will do her best to hold onto your father''s heart and let you live a good life like that Jiang Xiangxue. Aunt has thought it through clearly, so it''s not a big deal to just blindly hide.


    Jiang Yanxue nodded. "Alright, your daughter believes in aunty."


    Naturally, no one else in the palace knew of this love between mother and daughter.


    For example, Jiang Lingyun. He put down his pen, passed a handkerchief over to wipe his sweat, and said: "Young master, the weather is so hot, why don''t we move our practice time to the afternoon? Otherwise, you will always sweat a lot, and it''s not a solution."


    Jiang Lingyun wiped off his sweat and gave the handkerchief to Liu Xiaoyang, "No worries, I''m just practicing my mental state. Training in this hot afternoon is more effective."


    As if recalling something, Jiang Lingyun asked, "Did Jun Peiyun come to find me today?"


    "Young master, didn''t you tell the young mistress yesterday that she can''t come to the Flowing Cloud Pavilion without your permission?" Six-Point asked curiously.


    Six heard this while waiting outside.


    Jiang Lingyun finally remembered and nodded. "That''s right, then did you find out what she was doing today?"


    Six Horn told Jiang Lingyun everything he knew, "Young master, this Third Miss and Fourth Miss are so passionate about the young mistress, and they''ve even specially come to visit her. Could they have some other motive?"


    Jiang Lingyun couldn''t figure out why, so she said, "Keep watching."


    "Yes." "Yes," Six-Pointed answered.


    Jiang Lingyun thought for a while and said, "I''m afraid the day after tomorrow, even the two houses and three houses will have to see a joke from me."


    Ning Jiatong wasn''t willing to marry him, and now that the Ning Family had brought the dowry back with them, the people outside would laugh at the Jiang manor, and the people in the manor would laugh at him as well.


    "Well, tell me what this has to do with the second and third rooms, but the second wife went to ask the wife if she would like a few people from the second room to help her. The wife is the head lady of the Jiang family, and she still can''t find anyone, so it''s clear that she''s sincere in making the second wife uncomfortable."

 C20

    Jiang Lingyun said, "Since the people from the second house want to watch the show so much, we should let them have their way. Six Corner, go prepare something for me in the next two days."


    Then, he said everything that was on the table, causing the six horns to be puzzled. "Young master, are we really going to prepare these things?"


    "Of course it''s true."


    "But the young madam ¡­" He looked towards Jiang Lingyun, full of questions.


    "Just do as I say." Jiang Lingyun said.


    After saying that, Jiang Lingyun spread out a new piece of paper and said, "Jun Peiyun, I should be giving you some sweets."


    In the past two days, Jun Peiyun had finally gotten to know all the women in the Jiang family, so it could be said that these rich people couldn''t suppress her. If it wasn''t for the Old Master and Old Madame suppressing her, there would be even more women in the Jiang manor.


    There were two concubines in one large room, and one concubine in each of the two, three, and three rooms. Compared to the other residences, the population of the Jiang manor was extremely simple.


    This one or two wasn''t simple. It made sense. If it was simple, how could it survive in the Jiang manor?


    It was early in the morning in the Jiang manor, and the servants were clearly a bit restless. Jun Peiyun recalled that today was the day the Ning Family came to move their dowry away. She guessed that the Ning Family must have sent someone to tell them about it.


    While Jun Peiyun was eating breakfast, Jiang Yi Rou came over and said, "Yo, sister-in-law is still eating breakfast here. Don''t you know that the people from the Ning family have arrived?"


    Jun Peiyun continued to drink her porridge and took out a bun. "So what if you''re here? It has nothing to do with my breakfast."


    Jiang Yi Rou cursed Jun Peiyun in her heart for putting on an act, but on the surface, she spoke in pity for Jun Peiyun, "That''s right. If it wasn''t for the fact that she doesn''t want to marry her elder brother and instead wants to enter the mansion, it would be really awkward for her to go out now."


    Jun Peiyun stopped eating and looked at Jiang Yi Rou, who had a complacent expression on her face. Senior Servant Liu frowned and said to Jiang Yi Rou, "Young miss, as the saying goes, ''death goes without saying anything.'' Why don''t you sit by the side and wait for First Young Madam for breakfast before speaking?"


    Jiang Yiran glared at Senior Servant Liu. "When did I say something? How did it become your servant''s turn? When did the rules of the Jiang manor become so strict that the servants could control the master?"


    Senior Servant Liu lowered her head and said, "This servant is only reminding Eldest Miss. Eldest Madam often says ¡­"


    I know you used to be one of my aunt''s men, but since you''re in the Bright Moon Pavilion, your master is your sister-in-law, and your sister-in-law has yet to speak, so how could a mama like you teach me a lesson? Jiang Yirou scolded Senior Servant Liu while hanging her eyes, not showing any trace of politeness.


    Senior Servant Liu had been working with Jun Peiyun these past two days, and had always given her face whenever they met each other. It was also because she knew that she was the first wife, so she didn''t expect Jiang Yirou to put on such a show for her. How could Senior Servant Liu be happy, but even if she was unhappy, she could only endure it and say, "Eldest Miss is right, this servant knows her wrongs."


    Jiang Yiru was very proud of herself and continued to say, "If you know your wrongs, you have to change. You are now my sister-in-law''s senior sister''s tutor, if you teach me, then what would happen to you? I always thought my sister-in-law was weird, so it was all thanks to you."


    Jun Peiyun put down her chopsticks and smiled as she said, "Thank you, eldest sister, for specially coming to my Mingyue Pavilion to teach me a lesson. Thank you for your hard work."


    Jiang Yi gently tilted her head upwards and said, "As long as elder sister-in-law understands my painstaking efforts."


    Jun Peiyun stood up with a bun and walked up to Jiang Yirou. "Thinking about how my eldest sister has just returned from Rong An Hall. She probably hasn''t even had breakfast. I should at least eat a bun to fill my stomach."


    When Jun Peiyun said this, Jiang Yiran really felt hungry. She reached out to pick up the bun, but the bun fell to the ground after she let go of it. She first touched Jiang Yiran''s shoes before rolling away.


    Jiang Yi Rou immediately jumped away and shouted: "Jun Peiyun, what are you doing? These shoes are my favorite!"


    Jun Peiyun covered her mouth apologetically, "I''m really sorry, eldest sister. I couldn''t hold my hand properly for a moment. Please forgive me."


    Jiang Yi Rou looked at Jun Peiyun''s exaggerated expression and was enraged. She pointed at her and scolded, "You clearly did it on purpose. You want to dirty my shoes. What are you reassured about?"


    Jun Peiyun smiled and said, "Eldest sister, why do you say that? I gave you the steamed buns because I was worried that you''d get hungry. It''s not like I haven''t eaten anything. I still have some porridge here and it''s delicious."


    After saying that, she quickly scooped a bowl of congee for Jiang Yirou. Before she could even react, Jun Peiyun accidentally spilled another bowl of congee on Jiang Yirou''s clothes. Jiang Yirou was so angry that she wanted to immediately rush up and slap her.


    It was only then that Jun Peiyun thought that Jiang Yirou would act in such a way, and she retreated a few steps back to avoid the attack.


    "Jun Peiyun, you slut. How dare you dodge?" He was about to hit her again, but Jiang Yiran''s face was extremely ugly right now.


    "Yi Rou, what are you doing?" A familiar voice sounded at the courtyard''s entrance.


    Jun Peiyun and Jiang Yi Rou looked over at the same time. Jiang Yi Rou put down her hands and ran in front of Jiang Lingyun as if she felt wronged. She said, "Big brother, look, Jun Peiyun actually threw porridge at me. Luckily the porridge was warm, otherwise I wouldn''t be able to walk now."


    Jun Peiyun saw how Jiang Lingyun was going to handle the situation, and she saw Jiang Lingyun''s brows furrow as he looked at her. Jun Peiyun gave him an eyebrow in response.


    Jiang Lingyun comforted Jiang Yi Rou, "You also know that your sister-in-law is not from a wealthy family, so the rules are a bit lacking. You go back first, and I''ll punish her."


    These words of Jiang Lingyun had vented Jiang Yiran''s anger, but it also made Jun Peiyun frown. Jiang Yiran turned her head proudly towards Jun Peiyun, looking as if she was the one under her big brother''s protection.


    Jun Peiyun did not say a word and only looked at the two quietly. However, Jiang Yi Rou was still unwilling and said, "Big brother, I want to stay here. I want to see her being punished before I go back."


    "You mean I''ll be partial to her?" Jiang Lingyun''s voice turned cold.


    Jiang Yi Rou quickly stopped and said, "No, how could brother side with her? It''s just that I was annoyed and couldn''t stand watching her get punished."


    "I told you to go back first. I still have something to say to your sister-in-law, so it won''t be convenient for you to listen." Jiang Lingyun was expressionless. There was no trace of the gentleness from before.


    Jiang Yi Rou did not dare to cause any more trouble, and could only return.


    Six horns pushed Jiang Lingyun in. Jun Peiyun stepped forward and said unhappily, "Eldest Young Master, why are you here?"


    The corner of Senior Servant Liu''s mouth twitched. She wanted to remind Jun Peiyun that she shouldn''t speak to Eldest Young Master like that, but seeing the atmosphere between the two of them, she tactfully shut her mouth.


    He pushed Jiang Lingyun into the house and went out.


    Seeing this, Senior Servant Liu also left with the Cyan Plum Butterfly, closing the door.


    With only two people left, Jun Peiyun couldn''t be bothered to continue pretending. She immediately put on a stern face and asked, "What? You want to teach me a lesson for the sake of your eldest sister?"


    "What''s she worth to me? She came this time to let you follow me to the main entrance in an hour." Jiang Lingyun was supposed to arrive an hour later, but when Jiang Yiran arrived at the Bright Moon Pavilion, her sarcastic remarks were heard by Liu Suifeng, so Jiang Lingyun came over.


    Jun Peiyun pulled out a chair and sat down. "No."


    Why did he tell me to go? I have to go, she''s not Jiang Lingyun''s servant.


    Jiang Lingyun narrowed her eyes. "Why?"


    Why else? Jun Peiyun crossed her arms. "Why would I want to go? I''m not from a wealthy family, so I don''t have any manners. If I go with you, I''m afraid I''ll insult your reputation and make you look bad. I''d better not go."


    So it was because of his anger, "These words are said to calm Yiran down a little, are you serious?"


    "Why shouldn''t I?" Jun Peiyun said.


    Jiang Lingyun began to feel that she was being unreasonable, "If you hadn''t poured the porridge on her, I would have needed to say these words to calm her down, or else she would have gone to Grandmother''s place. Do you think you can go to Grandmother''s place?"


    Do you think I''m a shrew? Why do you think you''re the one who''s going to teach me a lesson when I''m not here? If it wasn''t for you, I''d dare to give her a slap if she didn''t dare, and I''d dare to go against her even if she wanted to. I, Jun Peiyun, am not from a noble family, and if I''m not from a noble family, I''ll be bullied by her, Jiang Yirou? I tell you, no way! "


    Jiang Lingyun was so angry that his face turned pale. He said he wasn''t a shrew, but if he wasn''t, then what was he?


    "You don''t need to be angry. You''re the young master of the Jiang family, so what if you''ve been secretly plotted against? At least no one in the Jiang family would dare to be angry at you. How could you understand my feelings?"


    Jiang Lingyun said with a darkened face, "Are you done talking?"


    Jun Peiyun looked at him. Both of them were so angry that they stopped talking.


    "Come with me to the main gate in an hour. If you don''t want to be ridiculed, then come. The Ning Family is here to carry the dowry. You should know that the two of us will be the only ones who will lose face." After saying that, Jiang Lingyun turned his wheelchair and was about to leave.


    "Six horns, come in."


    When Six Horn heard Jiang Lingyun''s voice, he quickly pushed open the door. The atmosphere in the room was really suffocating, so he had to lower his head and push Jiang Lingyun''s wheelchair.


    After Jiang Lingyun had left, Senior Servant Liu and the rest had also entered. It was fortunate that Jun Peiyun and Jiang Lingyun had lowered their voices when they were arguing, otherwise Senior Servant Liu would have told them earlier.


    "Young Mistress, how could you have splashed Eldest Miss like that just now?"

    "Your Highness, everything has been settled." The black man stood in the corner, his expression invisible. There was a note of credit in his voice.


    "You didn''t leave any evidence, did you?" Defending against the cold, he played with the bead in his hand.


    "Nope." There was a hint of pride in the African man''s tone. He had finally succeeded.


    "That''s good. I don''t believe that they will be able to successfully finish it this time around." A smile appeared on the crown prince''s face, making people feel uncomfortable. Yu Ling Jing, I want to see how you''re going to explain this.


    "Senior Sister, you''re back." Early in the morning, as soon as Qi Shu pushed open the door, she noticed a familiar figure standing at the door. His mood suddenly improved. As soon as he got up, the sleepiness in his heart immediately disappeared. She slept very late last night because of the view. They had been standing together by the pond the day before, and the scene had been lingering in his mind. He had a strange feeling that he had never felt before, a strange feeling that lingered in his heart, unspeakable, sweet, and bitter.


    "Right, everything has been resolved." Qing Mo Xue gently nodded her head. A while ago, it was the day when the officials were swaggering about, and he just happened to receive a letter from his master, calling him to go back when he had something to do. Therefore, he hadn''t appeared in the disaster area during this period of time.


    "On our side, although we''ve encountered a few small twists and turns, everything is progressing exceptionally smoothly." Qi Dian came back to his senses, and a big smile appeared on his face. To him, his Senior Sister was also a very important person. The two of them grew up together so that they could wear the same pants.


    "That''s good." Qing Mo Xue also smiled.


    "Oh right, where''s the young master of the Shangguan family that I saw last time? Is he gone? " Qing Mo Xue asked casually.


    "No, it''s still here." Qi Wan County answered without hesitation. He walked over and took her hand. His movements were exceptionally skilled.


    "What is he doing here?" Qing Mo Xue looked around as if she was looking for something.


    "I don''t know either. Maybe it was during the disaster, so I might as well play with him for a while." Qi Wanli indifferently replied to her senior sister''s question.


    "Oh!" Qing Mo Xue casually replied.


    "Senior Sister, I feel that something''s wrong with you today?" Qi Wan County suddenly discovered that the key point of his Senior Sister''s question seemed to be a little different. Shouldn''t he be concerned about what kind of twists and turns they had encountered? Even if he wasn''t worried about what was happening in the disaster area. He should also be asking where Ruan Qingyan had gone to ¡­ Qi Wanjun couldn''t remember when Qing Mo Xue had such a good relationship with the government official, so he asked him the moment he came back.


    "Is that so? Are you overthinking it?" Qing Mo Xue''s expression did not change as she said indifferently.


    "But what you said today didn''t sound like you at all." Qi Wanli silently speculated in his heart. Could it be that his senior sister''s heart was moved? Although they were all enemies and had a bit of ''that'', it was still in accordance with his Senior Sister''s clear and strange taste! Furthermore, the people in the government office were not bad. At that time, they seemed to be a bit unscrupulous and flippant. If Senior Sister really fell for him, who knows if he could suppress the official''s shadow.


    "Maybe I''m a little tired and my mind isn''t clear." Qing Mo Xue shook her head. What she had just said was a bit strange. Why did he suddenly ask about him? Could it be that he ¡­ But how was that possible? Even though they had only seen one side of the conversation, they had only seen a few sentences ¡­ Furthermore, they didn''t get along well.


    "Eh, is that true or not, I don''t believe it ¡­" Qi Wanli secretly laughed. This wasn''t his senior sister''s style.


    "Girl, where did all this nonsense come from?" Qing Mo Xue shook her head. He felt that there must be a lot of evil thoughts running through his Junior Sister''s mind.


    "Aren''t I concerned about Senior Sister?" Qi Wan County chuckled twice.


    "I haven''t asked you yet. When I came over, I saw the Regent. Why is he here? " Qing Mo Xue went into the house and sat down on a chair, looking at Qi Lan County and said.


    "He''s here to provide disaster relief. Who knows why that government sent him here?" Qi Wan County rolled his eyes.


    "Oh." "Yes." Qing Mo Xue replied. She suddenly thought of her Junior Sister. Just now, she had been trying to tease this Junior Sister.


    "I thought he was looking for you?" Qing Mo Xue patted the corner of her clothes with a sincere look.


    "What did he come looking for?" Qi Wanxian in the heart silently scorn those extremely, just you speak more, now, good, has angered Senior Sister?


    "Do I even need to say that? "Don''t pretend that you don''t understand, and don''t want to either. If you do, then pretend that you don''t understand ~" Qing Mo Xue revealed a big smile. Qi Xiao looked at this smile and felt that it was especially terrifying. Every time Senior Sister smiled like this, it proved that he was in for a ride of misfortune.


    "Alright, alright, you''re the smartest, I won''t say ¡­" Qi Dian waved his hand at his senior sister. He didn''t even want to continue looking for trouble.


    "It''s good that you know this ¡­" Qing Mo Xue raised her eyebrows.


    "You old fool ¡­" Qi Wanli looked at his senior sister, and his expression made it difficult for him to refrain from speaking.


    "Shameless, you want to earn money and fight, right?" Qing Mo Xue fiercely looked at Qi Shou County, but her eyes were filled with a smile.


    "Aiyo, I''m so scared ¡­" Qi Wanjun made a face at his senior sister. At this moment, she was just like a child. She and Qing Mo Xue both knew each other, so she didn''t have any worries in front of him.


    Qing Mo Xue was an orphan that their master picked up when they were out on another trip. At that time, she was still a baby in swaddling clothes, and she was barely able to breathe. At that time, her master was still very young, so he carried her back to raise her. Qing Mo Xue had been sick and weak ever since she was young, so most of the martial arts she learned were just to improve her body''s health, but when she grew up, her body became a little better. Because not only did she train in martial arts, but her master also found all sorts of pills and herbs for her to strengthen her body. From the moment she started to read, she started to read all kinds of books. At first, he couldn''t understand it, but later he started to read it, over and over again. In addition, his brain was especially good, so he slowly started to understand.


    Later on, his master felt that the books could no longer teach him much, and he had taught her everything he had earned in his life. Thus, she allowed him to enter the world to train. You know, there''s more to this society than there is to books. He had been extremely intelligent ever since he was young, and he had helped people everywhere to solve their problems. He had always been able to predict what would happen to her, so before the age of twenty, she was going to become famous and known as the girl, Zhuge of Jianghu. He had to be admired.


    Since he was a child, Qi Wanshi had been sent by his parents to his master to learn martial arts. When he had just arrived, she was three years old and Qing Mo Xue was five years old. The first time he saw his sister, he felt especially close to her. A pair of spirited eyes with feather-like eyelashes flickered. As for Qing Mo Xue, she would never forget the sight of Qi Wan County for the first time. The girl in green clothes was being led by her mother. Her face was covered with tears, and she looked at them with watery eyes. Her face was so pink that one would have liked to pinch it. Sometimes, Qing Mo Xue was especially envious of Qi Xi, because every month, his parents would come visit her, but he was an orphan, and he only had his master and his little sister. Therefore, to Qing Mo Xue, Qi Wan County was one of his only two relatives in this world. Qi Wan County was known by his master as a martial arts prodigy, and his brain was also exceptionally good. However, because he cultivated both martial and civil arts, there were still places where his schemes were inferior to Qing Mo Xue''s.


    However, in terms of martial arts, he far surpassed Qing Mo Xue. However, in his eyes, the world was just like a divine existence, similar to his master. When Qi Wanxian was completely ignorant, Qing Mo Xue told me many of his secrets about the world. At the same time, he would make all kinds of toys for him. He would teach him how to write, comb her hair, dress her, and punish her when he was in trouble. When Qing Mo Xue was young, she had grown up extremely fast. When the three year old Qi Hui County stood in front of him, she was like a little bean. The three-year-old girl didn''t understand and had a strong dependence on her mother, so Qi Wanqian had to leave her mother to come here and learn martial arts. Although meeting once a month was a very painful thing for a child, so he often cried. As for his master, he would never take care of children. Only the heavens knew how Qing Mo Xue came here.


    Therefore, at this time, the five-year-old Qing Mo Xue acted like a mother. He took care of Qi Xiao County, wiped her tears when she was crying, and applied medicine on her when she was injured. Sing him a lullaby when his little mama can''t sleep, and he makes the childhood of Chiru less pathetic and lonely. So in this way, with day after day of warm company, in Qi Wan County''s heart, Qing Xue was just like his own older sister. Therefore, Qing Mo Xue used a long and beautiful period of time in exchange for the admiration of a beautiful woman who possessed both civil and military skills. In exchange for a good friend, a sister even more dear than a sister.


    However, no matter how good a friend was, they would part from each other, and the world would always eat. After Qing Mo Xue was sent by his master to gain experience, Qi Wan County suddenly became bored, and he began to train and sleep late. In less than half a year, when he went down the mountain to help his master buy some things, he heard news of his senior sister. He said that others knew that his senior sister was very famous. Although he felt extremely proud of himself! However, the people of Qi and Wan County were all very low-key, so even now, not many people knew that he was the Junior Sister of the Jianghu''s girl, Zhuge.

    The commoners automatically made way for them, and a team of people arrived at the Jiang family''s gate. The Ning family carriage was on the right side of the Jiang manor gate, and the procession to deliver the dowry was on the left.


    The first wife looked at the long line and was stunned. Jiang Lingyun reminded her mother, "Mother, shouldn''t we have someone come out to burn firecrackers to welcome the dowry?"


    Logically speaking, the dowry should have been sent to her husband''s house before the marriage, but Jun Peiyun''s situation was unique and she was already well aware of Jinling''s situation.


    The first wife reacted and quickly ordered people to prepare the dowry.


    Old Master Jiang and the others all rushed to the door when they heard the news. The master of the Jiang family had appeared, and the way the entire Jiang family welcomed their dowry was even more impressive than when the Ning family had entered the door.


    Jiang Xianxue and Jiang Yanxue were both stunned. Didn''t Jun Peiyun say that her uncle had already spent all of her money? How could there be so much dowry? How could there be so many boxes after boxes on the carriage?


    The consul at the front of the dowry team saw that his family members were all present, so he took the list to Jun Peiyun and bowed. "Miss, according to your instructions, the dowry has been moved here. A total of 64 pieces of dowry have been brought over. Here is the list. Please have a look."


    Jun Peiyun took the list and opened it, wanting to open her eyes wide. Heavens, the gold silk bed, the rosewood table, the rosewood dressing table, and the other furniture all had three boxes of gold and silver jewelry, not to mention the expensive cloths and items like that. Sixty-four of them were lifted, and there was not a single piece of clothing missing.


    "Yes, miss." The consul took back the list.


    At this moment, the first wife had already ordered people to prepare firecrackers. They were all waiting to burn firecrackers to welcome the dowry.


    At this time, the first dowry of the Ning Family had already been moved to the door. The two of them clashed, and it was just one going in and one going out.


    Master Ning had his men stop first. He walked up to Old Master Jiang with a darkened face and asked, "Old Master Jiang, what do you mean by this?"


    Old Master Jiang still didn''t know where Jun Peiyun had gotten all these dowry, and still couldn''t react in time. With Master Ning behaving like this, Old Master Jiang naturally had to do it for the sake of his own reputation.


    It was also because he heard the servant speak of the first wife''s reaction that he didn''t know what to say.


    "Master Ning, this is the dowry for Pei Yun. I didn''t expect her to welcome us in today. What a coincidence." He gently tossed the ball to Jun Peiyun.


    Master Ning turned to look at Jun Peiyun. She smiled and said, "Ever since I''ve become the first wife of the Jiang family, I''ve ordered people to pack up my dowry and send it over to the Jiang family. Who knew that I would receive a letter this morning saying that it would be delivered today? I can''t be at ease with all these dowry, so I might as well welcome them into the mansion today."


    "You know full well that our Ning Family is here to move back to the palace today, but you can''t just choose another day to bring the dowry back to the estate?"


    Jun Peiyun laughed, "Sir, is what you said a joke? Why would I, Jun Peiyun, want to see your Ning family''s day when I enter the mansion with my dowry? Furthermore, your Ning Family''s marriage annulment was first, and the fault lies with you guys. According to logic, you should have let me, Jun Peiyun, live as long as I can. "


    Master Ning was so angry that his face turned green. Ning Chenyu supported Master Ning and looked at Jun Peiyun, "Miss Jun, aren''t you making yourself uncomfortable? Our Ning family has a total of 64 dowries, and every dowry is worth a lot."


    Jiang Lingyun''s face turned cold. "There''s no Miss Jun here. Pei Yun is now my wife, and also the first wife of the Jiang family. Please speak your mind carefully, Young Master Ning. If you call her by that, aren''t you still thinking about the marriage between you and my wife?" Since you''ve already reneged on your marriage, don''t tell me you''re still thinking of snatching back Peiyun? "


    "What, the Ning Family has an engagement with Jun Peiyun, or Young Master Ning''s?" The commoners were all shocked, and the focus of their discussion turned to Ning Chenyu and Jun Peiyun.


    "From the looks of it, this Jun Peiyun shouldn''t be some wild girl. Otherwise, why would she have an engagement with Young Master Ning?"


    "That''s not certain. Then why did the Ning family break the engagement? It must be that Jun Peiyun isn''t worthy of Young Master Ning."


    "The Ning Family actually destroyed two marriages in a row. They''re really the Prime Minister''s Estate. They''re not afraid of people talking about their betrayal."


    "The Ning family is powerful, so how could the Jiang family and Jun Peiyun dare to offend them? They broke the engagement as soon as they wanted to, but seeing how Jun Peiyun is going to get married, it won''t be that simple."


    "..."


    Master Ning and Ning Chenyu looked at Jun Peiyun for a moment. Master Ning growled, "Jun Peiyun, you actually went back on your word. Did you say that you wouldn''t tell others? You took the money, but you actually went back on your word?"


    These words could only be heard by the Jiang family members and the Ning family members. The commoners outside could not hear them.


    Jun Peiyun didn''t want to either. It wasn''t like she said that. It was obviously Jiang Lingyun who said that, okay? Was this Master Ning deaf?


    Ning Chenyu also said, "Jun Peiyun, don''t think that you can barge into our Ning family like that, I ¡­"


    Eldest Young Master Ning, since Pei Yun joined our Jiang family, she has become very popular in the Jiang family, and we have to thank Eldest Young Master Ning for letting us go. Speaking of which, her medical skills are brilliant, and her looks and talents are unquestionable, I, Jiang Lingyun, have been fortunate enough to have a wife like her in my three lifetimes. She also said that the Jiang family will be her family from now on.


    As he spoke, Jiang Lingyun took out a silver note from his pocket and said, "When I spoke to Pei Yun that day, she tore it off in a fit of anger. However, I thought that even though the Ning family was going to take back the marriage certificate, my wife didn''t lack this money, so I''ll give it to you."


    As he spoke, he handed the notes to Ning Chenyu, who didn''t accept them and just stared at Jiang Lingyun.


    Jiang Lingyun turned around and said to Jun Peiyun, "Pei Yun, it seems that young master Ning is not willing to accept my silver notes. Since the Ning family bought your marriage certificate for 10,000 taels of silver, you can return it now."


    Jun Peiyun inwardly applauded Jiang Lingyun''s domineering attitude ten thousand times. This time, it was the loudest. If she still didn''t know what Jiang Lingyun was up to, then she would really be a fool.


    "Young Master Ning, when I first went to the capital, the Ning Family refused to see me, so we gave up on the marriage contract. You should take back the ten thousand taels, as my husband said, if it weren''t for your Ning Family, we wouldn''t have gotten married, and today, my husband and I have been blessed by the Ning Family to be our matchmaker. I can''t take the ten thousand taels, so please take it back to my mother, Second Madam Ning."


    These words were really a slap to the face. Ning Chenyu''s face was dark, and Jun Peiyun''s smile really made his face turn hot.


    "Jun Peiyun, don''t make me sound good. Don''t you know what Jiang Lingyun''s condition is like? I''m afraid you won''t be happy for more than a few days." Ning Chenyu''s words were extremely vicious, and even the Jiang family was enraged.


    "Young Master Ning, what do you mean by this? Are you cursing Lingyun?" Old Man Jiang''s face darkened.


    Jun Peiyun laughed, "Grandfather, outsiders have said so why should you care? Could it be that you don''t believe in her medical skills and that your husband will be fine, when my father was an imperial physician in the palace, the nobles of the palace praised him, and now that father has passed all his medical skills on to Peiyun, she will definitely do her best to cure him. Peiyun is confident that her husband will definitely be an ordinary person in the future, healthy and healthy."


    "Imperial Physician Jun? Jun Peiyun''s father was actually the Imperial Physician Jun? "He''s the imperial physician who was second to none in the palace before, looks like young master Jiang''s illness can be cured."


    "I don''t know what the Ning family is thinking, but they actually missed out on such a good daughter-in-law."


    "..."


    After another round of discussion, Jun Peiyun saw that the fire was almost gone. She stuffed the silver notes into Ning Chenyu''s hands and said to the first wife, "Granny, you can order the firecrackers to be burnt now."


    The first wife came back to her senses and gave the order. She set the firecrackers on fire, and for a while, the Jiang family was filled with joy. Everyone was originally just watching the Jiang family become a joke, but now they were just watching the Ning family.


    The first madame smiled at Master Ning. "Master, it''s not good for you to tarry here either. Why don''t we proceed together?"


    Master Ning waved his sleeves and gritted his teeth. "Fine, we''ll take the dowry as well."


    The consuls on both sides read the dowry slips together. As they went in and out of the house, they thought that the Ning Family''s dowry would be greater than that of Jun Peiyun''s, and that she would need to open the box to check that of Jun Peiyun. At the same time, both sides opened the box, and Jun Peiyun''s dowry was not any worse than that of the Ning Family. Her value seemed to be slightly higher than that of the Ning Family''s, and Master Ning''s face was darkening while the faces of the Jiang Family''s were flushed red.


    The Ning Family had finished carrying their dowry, and Jun Peiyun had just finished carrying her dowry. Since both sides had ended at the same time, Master Ning didn''t have the same attitude as the Old Master Jiang. He directly got into the carriage and ordered them to return home.


    Today''s matter could be considered as having been spread around Jinling for quite some time. The gossip about Jun Peiyun had begun to boil. The wild lass, who was originally unknown in Jinling, had suddenly become a celebrity.


    The Jiang family closed their doors and the first lady ordered people to move their dowry to the Bright Moon Pavilion. The old lady then said, "How can the Bright Moon Pavilion keep so many dowry? In addition, prepare a storage room for Pei Yun. In the next few days, change the furniture in the pavilion and give the key to the storage room to Pei Yun."


    The First Lady nodded and asked Jun Peiyun, "Do you think this is appropriate?"


    "She''s all at the disposal of her grandmother and mother-in-law."

    Qi Wan County sat on a tree trunk, staring at the water in the pond, his eyes shining like stars. Yu Ling Jing leaned against a tree and sat on the grass. His eyes were closed, and it was unknown what he was thinking about. From afar, this man and woman, a tree, beautiful just like a painting. They were quiet and warm, with a sense of peace and harmony.


    "When I was young, I especially liked to climb trees. Afterwards, I would always be unable to jump down when I climb up. At that time, my senior sister would come and help me." Qi Wanli indifferently spoke.


    "Is that so? When I was very young, I could jump from tree to tree. " Yu Ling Jing''s voice was faint, as if the voice came from the wind.


    "Oh, then you''re really amazing." Qi Wanli continued to deal with the situation. He was speechless for a moment.


    "Why do you think a person lives?" Qi Wanxian held a leaf in his hand and slowly opened his mouth as he turned his attention to other things. He looked at the clouds. It was as if he was speaking to the air.


    "Everyone has their own goals, and in everyone''s life, there are different meanings. It''s possible. " Yu Lingjing didn''t open her eyes. Her gentle voice lingered in the air, drifting with the wind.


    "What about you?" Qi Wanxian turned his head and looked down at Yu Ling Jing.


    "Me! Do you believe it when you say it''s for the common people? I live for the sake of being alive. " Yu Ling Jing suddenly opened his eyes, and raised his head to look Qi Lan''s eyes.


    "I didn''t dodge to the side, she just stared straight at Yu Ling Jing." I didn''t think about it that much in the past, but ever since that incident, the most important thing in my life right now is revenge. "


    "You can''t live in hatred all your life." Yu Ling Jing''s eyes flashed with a strange light. He had hated Yu Ling Jing before, but he had slowly calmed down after that.


    "Of course I know, so I will quickly overthrow that person." Qi Dian rolled her eyes. She didn''t know why she would talk to Yu Lingjing about such things. In any case, he felt especially at ease in front of Yu Ling Jing. Even his senior sister wouldn''t be able to give it to him. Perhaps it was because Yu Lingjing was strong enough, and his personality was not bad, and his character was kind and not bad to him ¡­ But who knows how far-fetched this reason was ¡­


    "It''s not that simple." Yu Lingjing frowned, a hint of worry in her eyes.


    "I know, but if it''s really not stabbing you, don''t you know how painful it is?" "I hate him! I wish I could have killed him!" Qi Lang looked at Yu Ling Jing''s eyes and wondered why he had such an expression, but he quickly chose the nurse. What did this have to do with him? All he wanted now was revenge. He shouldn''t let his parents die in vain like that ¡­


    "Do you think you can do it?" Yu Ling''s brows tightened even more. He looked at Qi Wan County, the wind blowing softly with the scent of grass.


    Qi Wan County jumped down from the tree. He clapped his hands! He looked indifferent. He said word by word to Yu Lingjing. " "So what if I can''t do it? I have nothing more to lose."


    "But once you start, you won''t be able to stop, unless you die or she dies." Yu Lingjing''s frown loosened, and a long sentence escaped from his thin lips. He wanted to persuade Qi Shu County. There was nothing that could not be let go, nothing that could not be passed. "One cannot live forever in the past." And the things you decide to do will involve everyone around you. Are you sure you want to put them in danger? If they lose their lives for you, what will you do? "


    Qi Dian also frowned, but the rage in his eyes didn''t decrease in the slightest. I''ll try to keep them out of it. "


    "But can you really do it? Even if you don''t allow it, will they really let you face it alone?" Yu Ling Jing looked at the girl who only had hatred in her eyes, and suddenly felt that she needed his protection. Although he looked strong, she was still a girl. He didn''t have the strength to bear it, but she firmly believed she was a heroine.


    "I don''t care. I just want to hug him. This is the life of a few dozen of my family members. " As Qi Wanjun spoke, his eyes turned red and his voice trembled. "In the end, he even felt as if he was screaming at the top of his lungs." You don''t know, although I have been far away from them since young, they are still the most important existences to me in this world. "


    "I''ll help you." Qi Wanxian''s words made Yu Ling Jing''s heart ache.


    "You helped me? On what basis are you helping me? Who are you?" When Qi Wanjun heard this, he suddenly became excited. His eyes turned red as he fiercely looked at Yu Lingjing. He did not need anyone''s pity nor did he need anyone''s help. He only needed one person.


    "Am I your fianc¨¦?" Yu Ling Jing looked tenderly at Qi Shu County. Fortunately, there was no one else here. Otherwise, if others saw him, they would have thought he was having a fit. He was the famous god of ice mountains. It was hard work to get him to say more. Of course, this was only seen by outsiders.


    "I won''t marry you." Qi Wan County closed his eyes, not letting his tears flow out. He did not know why he said such words. The two of them clearly did not want to get involved with each other.


    "Are you sure?" Yu Lingjing raised an eyebrow and suddenly laughed. The feeling was as if the sky had been covered by dark clouds. Suddenly, a ray of sunlight shot out from the thick clouds, shining on the earth. It was warm and dazzling.


    "I''m sure." At this time, she had already recovered most of her rationality. He took two deep breaths to calm himself down. He didn''t want to lose his composure in front of Yu Ling Jing.


    "Then turn your head and look at me. Tell me, you have no feelings for me at all." Yu Ling Jing took a step towards Qi Wan County.


    "Heh heh, it''s not like you like me, why do you care so much." Qi Wanjun suddenly let out a cold laugh. He turned his head to look at Yu Ling Jing, and his eyes became clear and bright. However, it could still be seen that her eyes were a little red ¡­


    "Who said I don''t like you?" Yu Ling Jing''s beautiful phoenix eyes rippled like spring water.


    "Who said you like me?" Qi Wan County asked, his mood a bit better.


    "I ~" Yu Lingjing actually had a bit of a fake voice when she said this word, which made her sound a bit cute.


    "Why?" The corners of Qi Wan County''s mouth raised a little. He didn''t know why he felt that such a scene was closer to life. The previous Yu Ling Jing always felt like he was on the top, but now that he was like this, he actually felt a little cute ¡­ But did Yu Ling Jing''s words make sense? Was it really that easy for one person to fall in love with another? Even if it was that easy, how long could such feelings last?


    "Do you need a reason to like someone?" Yu Ling Jing turned his head and no longer looked at Qi Shu County. He really didn''t know whether he liked him or not. He wasn''t too sure what it was that he liked. He only knew that in his heart, he was a completely different existence and that he cared about him. He wanted to protect him, and that was probably what he liked.


    "I don''t know, I don''t like anyone." Qi Wanqian returned with those indescribable emotions in his heart. He thought to himself that he was only joking. Moreover, there were many kinds of people. For friends, for family, it was only for appearance, or for other people''s talents. Who knew which type he was referring to?


    "It doesn''t matter, I will make you like me." Yu Lingjing said confidently, a faint smile on his face. It had to be said that his current appearance was like the spring breeze. So let the icebergs melt.


    "You''re really confident." Qi Wanshi didn''t notice her smile at all, but a disdainful smile still hung on the corner of his mouth.


    "Of course, of course, I am the most handsome prince in this dynasty." Yu Ling Jing watched as the wind gently lifted up Qi Lan''s dress. Although he didn''t know why he liked her, but how could she be unworthy of his love?


    "I finally know why you were so good at playing with those officials." Qi Wan County''s smile suddenly turned warm.


    "Hur hur, why?" Yu Lingjing raised an eyebrow and asked with interest.


    Qi Wan County suddenly burst into laughter, "Things are clustered together, people are grouped together, all of you are just as shameless."


    "You''re beautiful, so whatever you say is true." Yu Ling Jing turned his head and saw the sunlight shining through the gaps in the leaves, leaving a colorful patch on the ground. Just like Qi Wanli''s smile, it was just like a dream, causing people to be unable to open their eyes.


    "Thank you for your praise." Qi Dian said indifferently. However, this was really just like a crow in the dark. He thought that Yu Ling Jing was different, but in the end, he became like this.


    "No need to thank me. What I said was the truth." Yu Ling Jing''s eyes were filled with a dazzling brilliance, just like a pool of water under that light.


    "I just like it." After Qi Wanli said this, he turned around and walked to the front. Yu Lingjing stood there in a daze. Did she really just like him? He didn''t even know what it was like to like. How could he know what it was like to be different from love?


    Unknowingly, the sun had already moved to the center of the sky, shining its light directly on the earth, but it was not very bright at all. The entire town seemed to be warm, just like this day''s weather, everything was slowly getting better. There were even a few patients who had recovered. I should be leaving this place soon, right? But he didn''t know that if he were to leave this place ¡­ Would Qi Wanshi leave with him ¡­ Who would have thought that the famous War God would also feel troubled because of his children ¡­

 C24

    "I''m going back to Beijing tomorrow." Behind Yu Ling Jing was a sky full of stars, but in his eyes, there was only that girl. The night breeze blew against his hair, bringing with it a slight chill.


    "I wish you a pleasant journey!" He thought that Yu Wanjun had something important for him, so he decided to leave as soon as he heard that Yu Ling Jing was going back to the capital.


    "Come with me." Yu Lingjing summoned up the courage to speak. When had a web page like him ever said something like that? Under normal circumstances, no one would dare to disobey his orders, right? Of course, other than the Emperor, there was also the crown prince.


    "No way!" Qi Wan County decisively rejected Yu Ling Jing''s suggestion.


    "Why? It''s not far from our wedding date." Yu Ling Jing frowned as he looked at her in confusion.


    "I don''t want to go with you, and I don''t want to go back to the capital either? "Even more, I don''t want to marry you ~" Qi Wan County let out a hollow laugh, did not expect Yu Ling Jing to be this kind of person. However, who knew if he was on the spur of the moment. After all, those with power all had strange temperaments.


    "But don''t you want revenge?" Yu Lingjing didn''t want to talk about this in front of him, but right now, he only wanted her to go back with him, so he didn''t know what to say.


    On the battlefield, a general who was never timid in the face of an army of thousands of soldiers was now cowering in front of a girl, but he had no idea how important that girl was to him. It was only after many years that he realized that he truly loved him in particular ¡­


    Of course, that love did not come at this very moment. In the days that followed, every single one of her expressions and smiles had been etched deeply into his heart, but he had no intention of doing so.


    "Yes, but not in such a hurry." Qi Shu rolled his eyes again. He felt that Yu Ling Jing was simply meddling in other people''s business


    "I said I''d help you." Yu Ling Jing went around to the side and stood in front of Qi Wan County, firmly saying ¡­


    "How are you going to help me? You cannot afford such a crime. " Qi Wanjun felt that it was a bit funny. ''You, a prince, went to fight with the crown prince for a girl like her?'' Risking loss of power and position. He didn''t think so highly of himself ¡­


    "You have to believe me." Yu Ling Jing felt as if he was possessed. Why did he always have to be a girl to pester her all the time? Hadn''t he always disliked talking to others?


    But why was he willing to say so much to this girl ¡­ And it was in a situation where the other party completely ignored him ¡­


    "Why should I believe you? I''m fine by myself." Qi Wanshi didn''t want to argue with him anymore ¡­


    "You''re a girl, don''t try to be too brave." Yu Lingjing''s voice grew colder and colder. He felt that he was about to lose all patience.


    "A man does not yield to a man." Qi Wanshi had a very proud look on his face, but who knew that his heart was filled with worry about the future. Already sad and sad about what happened in the past.


    "But if you are like this, the only thing waiting for you is death." The temperature in Yu Lingjing''s voice had already dropped to a freezing point.


    "Then tell me, what do you think I should do?" Qi Lang wasn''t angry, instead, she was smiling. This way, she made Yu Ling Jing feel like she needed more protection.


    "I''ll help you." Yu Lingjing tried her best to soften her voice as she spoke.


    He really didn''t want her to help her. He didn''t want to drag anyone else into the water. Yu Ling Jing also stopped chasing after him. He didn''t like to force others. But what was the purpose of what he had just said?


    "Wan County, let''s go to the capital." Qing Mo Xue knocked on her door and walked in. She then stood in front of him and said in a dignified manner.


    "Senior Sister?" Qi Dian asked in surprise.


    "I want to go with him ¡­ I''ll go wherever he goes ¡­" Qing Mo Xue''s tone carried the flirtatiousness of a little girl.


    For the past few days, the relationship between Qing Mo Xue and Shangguan Ying Ying had gone from simple bickering at the beginning to simple bickering on the side. Thinking about it, Qing Mo Xue unconsciously had a feeling of being attracted to this young man.


    From the beginning, he had suspected that it was because he hadn''t seen a good-looking boy for a long time that he felt this way about him. But why was it that he didn''t see Yu Ling Jing? Of course, in the eyes of the officials, he had always been friends with this girl, Baodi.


    However, Qing Mo Xue didn''t think that way in her heart. However, she didn''t tell him about her intentions. In a situation where she wasn''t sure if he liked her or not, he wouldn''t do something so impulsive. Who would have thought that love at first sight would happen to the Jianghu girl, Zhuge... He also knew all of this in Qi Wan County because Qing Mo Xue didn''t have any secrets in front of her.


    Both of them knew what they were talking about.


    "Are you sure?" Qi Wanli felt a little incredulous ¡­ Was this senior sister of his poisoned?


    "Mm ¡­" Qing Mo Xue nodded, her eyes flashing with a pure light that did not belong to him.


    "He never said he liked you!" Qi Wan County didn''t understand.


    "It''s enough for me to like him, isn''t it?" Right now, Qing Mo Xue was like a lovestruck fool ¡­


    It''s not a matter of wishful thinking. What kind of feeling would a person have?" Qi Wan County was simply speechless as they watched this scene. Why was it that his Senior Sister shouldn''t be a particularly rational and intelligent person? Why did it become like this ¡­ However, he saw her as a senior. This satisfied and happy appearance actually made him very happy in his heart. However, he still couldn''t help but worry for her.


    "That''s what we need to be together. I just like him. I''m not with him?" In the eyes of Qing Mo Xue, Qi Wan County was her true power.


    "But if you like someone, aren''t you supposed to be with him?" Qi Wan County was a little confused ¡­ What kind of thing is love?


    "Junior Sister, you don''t understand. There will be a day when you will understand." Qing Mo, Xue Xuan, and Xue Moyan spoke in a mysterious manner ¡­


    "What''s the use of understanding these things?" Qi Wanjun rolled his eyes, but his ears were completely red.


    "That''s because you haven''t fallen for anyone yet ¡­" Qing Mo Xue smiled and then blinked her eyes at Qi Tong County.


    "So Senior Sister fell in love with him just like that!" Qi Wanli still couldn''t understand her senior sister.


    "No. This is love ¡­ " Qing Mo Xue''s words were unrelenting and unrelenting.


    "Can''t you be more rational?" Qi Lang slapped his forehead. He felt that his perspective of life was about to be overturned by his senior sister.


    "You would never have known before ¡­" Qing Mo Xue sighed softly, but her eyes were still filled with a smile.


    "Oh, it''s time to go home!" The shadow official sat on his horse and shouted happily. He was not afraid that his horse would be frightened.


    "En, I''m home ~" Qing Mo Xue looked at the official, who also indifferently agreed. It had to be said that he really knew how to disguise himself. In front of the official, Qing Mo Xue didn''t reveal any expression of liking him at all.


    "At least I can''t stay in this damned place and suffer anymore ~" The official smiled like the sun.


    "I''m afraid there will be a fierce battle after we return to the capital." Yu Ling Jing pulled on the reins, his eyes staring into the sky.


    "What''s there to be afraid of? In the wilderness of the capital, there are probably too many experts." The shadow of the official also became serious, but immediately, a trace of a wicked smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. [I really want to know the expression of the Crown Prince when he sees us safe and sound. "Hahaha, he will definitely vomit blood in anger."


    "Haha, you''re right. I won''t let him off so easily. " Yu Ling Scenic Spot nodded. At this moment, his eyes seemed to cover the entire world.


    Qi Wanjun couldn''t help but be dumbstruck when he saw Yu Ling Jing''s appearance. Exactly who was the real him? He was cold and aloof all of a sudden, which gave people a sense of security. And sometimes people thought he was shameless. But the current him made others feel that she was the king of this world.


    The wind blew across the grassland, and a butterfly stopped on the tip of the grass. Everything was so beautiful, so calm, so peaceful.


    With five handsome men and women riding on horseback, this world should belong to them.


    But people have ambition. This world had never belonged to anyone.


    "What about you guys? What do you plan to do when you return to the capital?" The official looked at the three girls and said with a smile.


    "I don''t know. Let''s buy a house first." Qing Mo Xue was the first to reply. His horse was right beside the official horse, so they were now side by side, and from the view of the county, they were like a pair of men, a perfect match. Perhaps it wasn''t bad for Senior Sister World to find such a place to return to. At least she was by his side and would no longer need to wander the rest of her life.


    "That''s troublesome. Come live in my house." The shadow official said very kindly. Of course, he knew there was a 90% chance that his suggestion would be rejected, but he still wanted to give it a try. After all, if there were three beauties living in that house, then his following days would be really fun. Moreover, after spending so much time with each other, he truly treated these three girls as his friends.


    "No need, the three of us girls." Ruan Qingyan who had been silent all this time spoke up. She didn''t want to live in a man''s house at all. As for Qing Mo Xue, although she really liked the place, she wouldn''t stay in other people''s houses like that. She wanted to live with the people from Qi and Wan Prefecture more.


    "Alright, then leave the matter of finding a house to me." The shadow official scratched his head as if he was not surprised, and then said.


    "Alright, we won''t be polite either." The three girls didn''t have anything to say to this suggestion. After all, it was a bit too much trouble for the three of them to buy a house.

 C25

    "It just so happens that I can''t stand being polite." "As the official said this, he turned his head and looked at Qi Wanxian." "But you won''t be able to enter Qi Lan county, you''re in the Zuo Xiang Fu now ¡­"


    "Qi Wanjun felt the unrestrained gaze of the official as he turned his head to look at him." My foster father would not care so much about me living with him, but I feel uncomfortable... "Moreover, there are some things that are more convenient to do outside ¡­"


    "What is it?" The official was somewhat suspicious. Since Qi Shu County had arrived in the capital, shouldn''t they be enjoying life? What else was there to do?


    "It''s better if you ask less. If you know too much, you will be killed." Qing Mo Xue suddenly interrupted. Why are men so full of nonsense these days?


    "Are you sure?" Qi Wanjun thought this was fun, but how could there be someone who said those words without thinking?!


    "Of course I''m sure. I still need to do it myself." Qing Mo Xue looked at Qi Shu County, her gaze fierce. In the eyes of others, this was a symbol of danger, but in the eyes of Qi Wanxian, it was actually a bit funny. He didn''t think that his senior sister could be so childish!


    "Really?" Qi Wanjun blinked his eyes and smiled at Qing Mo Xue. The light in his eyes was even brighter than the sun above his head.


    "Really." Qing Mo Xue turned her head and no longer looked at Qi Shu County. This Junior Martial Sister of hers, once she caught hold of someone else''s weakness, she would not easily let go.


    "That''s good. When I can''t stand him, I''ll throw the sword to you. Help me kill him." Seeing her senior sister like this, Qi Wanshi couldn''t help but feel happy, and he continued to joke around.


    "Then you''re going to make things difficult for him. How could he do that? Besides, he won''t be able to win, so you should let me." If I were to casually place a poisonous substance on him, he would have already been poisoned to death. It would be extremely inconvenient. Furthermore, I will definitely let him die a very beautiful death. "


    Ruan Qingyan looked at the two of them singing at the same time and immediately guessed at something. Some things could only be seen by a girl. Therefore, she immediately decided to make fun of him. After all, it was a rare opportunity to make a joke about Zhuge!


    "Hey hey, do you need to bully me like that?" Although he was an expert in love, he never thought that Qing Mo Xue would like him at all. Therefore, if someone else said something like that in front of him, he would definitely be suspicious or make a joke and ask that person if they liked him. But now, she felt that it was completely impossible.


    Even though he was a smart person, the other party''s intelligence gave him a feeling that he was someone who would not be left behind in the world.


    "Of course you can use it. It''s so boring. If I don''t ridicule you, who else could I insult?" Qing Mo Xue happily said. She really liked these kind of days where they were having fun together. This kind of feeling was carefree.


    "If you have the ability, go and challenge Yu Ling Jing!" The official frowned and began to loudly shout like a child that had yet to grow up. But he was already over twenty years old.


    "We don''t have the ability, we can''t push him either." Qing Mo Xue smiled until her eyes were curved like the moon.


    "He''s too bored, so it''s not fun to talk about it, so it''s more fun to talk about you." Ruan Qingyan also agreed. On the other hand, Qi Wanli and Yu Ling Jing sat on the horse without saying a word.


    "Asking about the differences between people." In fact, he really liked this feeling. He did not need to play games or worry about any schemes. Even if each of them were not simple, at least at that moment, they were not prepared for each other at all. For some reason, she was willing to believe in this group of people, far surpassing those so-called bros who had known her for a very long time!


    While they were arguing, a group of civilians walked over from the city gate. They all kneeled on the ground and kowtowed to Yu Lingjing and the others while shouting out thanks.


    As Yu Ling Jing looked at this group of people, he suddenly felt a sense of satisfaction and pride. Although he had fought in the war outside for many years and had made many contributions to the country and had been welcomed by people every time he returned to the capital, that feeling was different. Those people who had welcomed him were all wearing bright and beautiful clothes.


    The feeling it gave people was even more impactful. He suddenly felt that perhaps, the thing a prince should do was to protect the commoners like this ¡­ Not to make the people thank her, but to make the people happy.


    "We respectfully send you off, your highness, and thank you for your great kindness. We are unable to repay you in any way, and we wish you and the other Young Heroes a pleasant journey." A representative of the common people stood up and bowed to them again and again. All of them expressed their sincere gratitude.


    The commoners gradually left one by one. Qing Mo Xue and the rest of them rode their horses as they slowly walked on the road. Now that they were not in a hurry, they started the conversation with the officials.


    "Who told you to be uglier than others?" Qing Mo Xue''s eyes were filled with disgust.


    "Can you not strike me down like that?" Looking at his fair face, he suddenly felt the urge to pinch it.


    "I like it!" Qing Mo Xue arrogantly raised her head, no longer looking at him.


    "I don''t like it." His eyes were black and white, but was he really as pure as he appeared? Was he really as careless as he appeared to be? How was he before?


    Yu Ling Jing and him were probably the only ones who knew about it. No, perhaps only Yu Ling Jing knew ¡­ This was because he had almost forgotten what he used to look like.


    "It has nothing to do with me." Qing Mo Xue turned her head to look at the shadow of the official, she could clearly see the blue sky, white clouds, and herself in Qing Mo Xue''s eyes.


    "Why are you even more vicious than your Junior Sister''s mouth?" The shadow almost fell into his eyes, but he quickly regained his senses and continued bickering with her.


    "The older the spicier ¡­" Qing Mo Xue said happily.


    "Last time, you said it was so. Green wins blue and blue wins ¡­" The official''s shadow was speechless. Why did all women change so easily?


    "What can you do about what I say?" Qing Mo Xue was like an ordinary little girl in front of Shangguan Ying.


    "I don''t care, but be careful that I sew up your mouth." In this way, the life of the emperor became more and more vicious, as if he really wanted to swallow her alive.


    "Do you dare? Qing Mo Xue jumped in fright when she saw his expression. She suddenly felt like she didn''t know him, but she quickly retracted the shock she felt and turned to look at Ruan Qing Yan.


    Suddenly, she felt a little afraid in her heart. He had always felt that even if there was something that he did not know about in the past, she still felt that he was him. But just now, she suddenly realized that he knew nothing except who he was and what he was. But she had to pretend he didn''t show anything.


    "Damn, I really can''t afford to offend you three ladies ¡­" The shadow of the official rolled his eyes. He did not want to continue quarreling with them. Although it was fun to argue like this every day, it was not as interesting to lose every day.


    "It''s good as long as you know ¡­" Qi Dian felt that something was wrong with his Senior Sister, and hurriedly opened his mouth, wanting to help him get rid of this awkward situation.


    Just like this, they had caused a ruckus along the way. Although they would sometimes fall into a somewhat awkward situation, the road was still particularly interesting. Even Yu Lingjing, who didn''t like the liveliness, found this journey especially interesting.


    The imperial physicians were even happier now, because the journey was simply too boring and they were about to be assassinated. But now, the journey was smooth sailing, and they also had the treasures of an official. They had to listen to all kinds of jokes at all times.


    The streets of the capital were crowded with people. All sorts of hawkers were hawking their goods. This time, Yu Lingjing did not inform the emperor in advance because he felt that he would come back anyway, so there was no need to trouble the servants with this trip. As a result, no one helped them drive the car. However, many people, upon seeing their group, consciously opened up a path.


    Yu Ling Jing rarely spoke along the way, and Qi Hui felt that Yu Ling Jing was only a person in his dreams after talking to him for so long.


    But now and then he would look at her and tell her, No. But did Yu Lingjing really like him? Perhaps it was just a feeling of freshness. Yu Ling Jing rode his horse a little faster, riding in front of them in Qi Wan County, then turned around and spoke to them.


    "Then the rest of you should temporarily stay at the residence of the official, the Ying Family. I''m going to report to the imperial government and the emperor about the disaster area." After saying this, Yu Ling Jing looked deeply at Qi Wan County, then turned around and left quickly.


    "Crown Prince, your highness is back." The black man plopped down on his knees in front of the cold wind.


    "That prince!" Yu Hanfeng slowly turned the teacup in his hand.


    "Regent." The voice of the man in black trembled.


    "So fast?" Do you dare to come back and beg for forgiveness? " His voice was chilling.


    "No, I heard he solved all the problems there." The black man''s head was tightly pressed against the floor, afraid that if he got angry, the cold wind would drag him out and kill him.


    "How is this possible?" Imperial Winds sat up straight and shouted loudly.


    "Please calm your anger, Crown Prince." The man in black felt his back getting wet.


    "Scram, useless thing ¡­" The crown prince smashed the teacup in his hand onto the head of the black man and a stream of fresh red blood immediately flowed out.


    The man in black knew that the moment he walked out of the room, he would die. It was said that accompanying a tiger was akin to accompanying a king. It looked like that was also true in front of the Eastern Palace.

 C26

    "Reporting to your majesty, I''ve already dealt with everything in the disaster area." Yu Lingjing knelt in front of the emperor and said word by word. There was no expression on his face.


    "Oh, tell me what happened." "Your majesty is looking down at him from above, his fingers slowly playing with his white beard." Sit down in the chair next to us, and we''ll talk slowly. "


    "Thank you, your majesty, for just encountering a few small unforeseen events." Yu Lingjing stood up and sat on a nearby chair. Very soon, a palace maid brought a cup of tea and placed it beside her.


    "What change?" The emperor''s old eyes suddenly shone with light. No one would be stupid enough to do such a thing.


    "Since someone poisoned the well water." I didn''t have any plans to tell the emperor about the robbery because she didn''t want him to know that the emperor had helped him. If the emperor knew about this, I''m afraid the official''s house would suffer quite a bit. After all, anyone could be an imperial merchant, and since ancient times, the emperor had been suspicious.


    "Did you find out who it was?" The expression on the emperor''s face didn''t seem interested in this matter. After all, it had already been resolved.


    "This humble subject is incompetent and has yet to find out who it was, but I''m afraid there are only a few people who could poison this humble subject, right?" Yu Ling Jing took a sip of the tea beside his hand and spoke slowly.


    "Alright, I understand. Then how did you get rid of him?" This simple sentence caused the Emperor''s heart to surge with emotions. There were probably only a few people in this world who had the guts and the ability to poison under the eyes of the Regent. Moreover, it seemed that his son was the only one that his royal brother had offended. The emperor glanced at Yu Lingjing. It seemed like his royal brother didn''t intend to obtain the throne. Otherwise, he could use this matter to make a big fuss and drag the crown prince into the water.


    "I have to say, experts live in the countryside. There was a woman there who was skilled in medicine and had helped me quite a bit." Yu Lingjing knew the emperor had guessed wrongly, so he didn''t say anything more and changed the subject. Of course, he didn''t plan to tell the emperor about Poison Saint''s existence. He didn''t want to leave any evidence in the hands of this old fox.


    "Is that so? What about the girl? "Why didn''t you come here to claim credit?" The Emperor temporarily put aside the suspicion he had towards the crown prince. He suddenly became interested in this girl. What kind of girl would he need to make the ice-cold Regent praise her?


    "That girl didn''t want to come to the capital." Yu Lingjing said lightly, intending to pass the message. Actually, he just wanted to end the conversation with the Emperor as soon as possible. He couldn''t help but feel particularly uncomfortable sitting here.


    "Alright, then I''ll give you this tomorrow. You can leave for the last time. Have a good rest." His Majesty waved his hand, gesturing for Yu Lingjing to step down. He didn''t want to talk too much with an overly intelligent brother like his. Because that was really a troublesome matter.


    "Thank you, my lord!" Yu Ling Jing thanked him and quickly retreated. You have no idea what kind of words the Crown Prince would use to mock him when he sees him in the imperial court tomorrow.


    It was still dawn when Yu Ling Jing changed into his court uniform and rushed to the main hall. However, he had to admit that he was not sure if he was unlucky, or if his luck was too good. As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the imperial court, he met the crown prince. Naturally, the Crown Prince had seen him long ago. Yu Ling Jing simply stood there, unmoving. The wind gently blew against his clothes, giving him a domineering feeling.


    "Emperor Uncle truly has great ability. He came back in such a short time." The crown prince quickly walked to his side and spoke with a tone of mockery. There was also anger that could easily be detected by others. Yu Lingjing suddenly felt that he treated this nephew of his as a worthy opponent. Although he had many tricks up his sleeve, he couldn''t help but reveal his ambition.


    "Not at all, not even the Emperor''s men." Yu Ling Jing didn''t mind continuing his fight with the crown prince. Saying this and that. If he didn''t know how to say these words, then he would have died in those plots over ten years ago.


    "Weren''t you also sent by the Emperor?" The crown prince revealed a mocking expression. It was very uncomfortable. Actually, they said that the two of them looked a little similar between the brows. It was just that one of them had been in the battlefield for a long time and had a kind of tough temperament, while the other was immersed in the palace''s schemes and tricks, which were especially feminine.


    "Then, Crown Prince, just treat it as me praising myself." Yu Lingjing''s voice was cold. She was clearly being too polite, but she made the Crown Prince especially angry.


    "You''re really not being modest at all ¡­" The Crown Prince felt that he really couldn''t win against this uncle of his. Although he repeatedly lost in front of him, because of his inborn conceit, he didn''t feel like he lost to Yu Lingjing. He felt that he was just lucky and that one day he would get rid of him.


    "This is such a good habit. It''s similar to the Crown Prince''s studies ¡­" After saying this, Yu Ling Jing walked into the court without looking back. Only Yufeng stood there, glaring at his back.


    "Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!" The official knelt on the ground and shouted. It had to be said that this kind of scene was enough to make one''s blood boil. No wonder the crown prince had always wanted to get his hands on this ¡­ However, as the saying goes, one cannot eat hot tofu in a hurry.


    "I''m in a particularly good mood. Do you know why?" The Emperor, seated on the Dragon Throne, smiled so much that his eyes narrowed. However, he did not intend to let the civil and military officials answer this question.


    "Our war god, the Regent, solved the disaster in such a short amount of time." His Majesty''s eyes were full of praise as he cast a gaze at Yu Ling Jing, but it was difficult to fathom his determination. Who knew if his expression was actually fake?


    "This is truly a matter worth celebrating!" Some of the officials who liked to flatter hurriedly said ¡­ Actually, these words were nonsense ¡­


    "I wonder what kind of reward royal brother would like?" The elder sister of the Phoenix Mountain Range completely ignored the official, smiling as she spoke to Yu Ling Jing.


    "This matter will be decided by the emperor," Yu Lingjing said with a bow, but her voice was neither servile nor overbearing.


    "Okay, I''ll give you ten thousand taels of gold, one for the mansion, and five hundred Dendrobium Night Pearls, each consisting of three hundred silks." Oh... Give me two more beauties. " It had to be said that each and every one of the emperors was exceptionally generous. However, in order to win over the hearts and stabilize his position, this was nothing.


    "I don''t have any objections to the ones before the emperor, but in the end, it''s better to just forget about these two." Yu Lingjing frowned. This month, the civilian police were famous throughout the country for not being close to women. However, it was said that he had a bosom friend ¡­


    "Haha, I almost forgot. In a few more months, my royal brother will get married soon?" The emperor seemed to have thought of something especially big. In fact, he didn''t even take this matter to heart. Otherwise, how could he have almost forgotten about it?


    "Thank you, your majesty." Yu Lingjing bowed. He only suddenly felt that the matter of him being ordered to marry Qi Wan County was the best thing that the Emperor had done.


    "Uncle Wang, now that you have received the reward and have also gained the liking of the people in the disaster area, you are really, really, quite good." The Crown Prince said in a cold tone. No one present was an idiot; they all knew what he meant. This meant that the Regent had been rewarded with a disaster and had won over the people. He was most likely planning to rebel one day.


    "Hehe, I don''t care about this kind of thing. I''m afraid you care about the crown prince too much, right?" Yu Lingjing was not to be outdone. In the past, he had let his nephew go to all sorts of trouble, but now it seemed that there was no need for him to endure any longer. After all, he was easily bullied by others.


    "Are you saying that you don''t care about the things bestowed by my royal father, or do you not care about the commoners?" The Crown Prince gritted his teeth. The last time he had failed again and again, it was as if a fire was burning in his heart. Even in the imperial court, he had no choice but to restrain himself.


    "Crown Prince, you are overthinking it. I am referring to the people''s hearts and minds." Yu Lingjing''s face was filled with disdain. When the crown prince saw his expression, he felt even more uncomfortable and wanted to retort. However, the Emperor interrupted him.


    "Can the two of us not ruin my mood?" The Emperor frowned as he looked at the crown prince. His son''s ambition was simply too great. If he didn''t properly discipline him, he might even be able to force the emperor into a palace. His little brother would probably start as well ¡­


    "This official knows his wrongs." Yu Lingjing lowered his head and said lightly.


    "Your son knows his crimes." The Crown Prince forcefully swallowed the words that were about to leave his mouth.


    His Majesty looked at the eunuch by his side. The eunuch understood immediately. He used his high-pitched voice to shout.


    "If you have anything to say, please play. If you have nothing to say, leave the court!"


    "Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!" The civil and military officials knelt down once again.


    The white pigeon on the roof jumped at the sound and flew away. A white feather gently fell from the sky, and Yu Lingjing walked out of the hall and caught it. He put the feather in the sun and looked at it again and again. He suddenly thought of Qi Wan County, that soft smile that was like feathers. Then, a warm smile appeared on his face as well. The officials who passed by him could not help but feel especially surprised and began whispering. They could not help but guess that the social network, which had never seen her smile before, was staring at a feather and laughing. What had happened? Was the prince confused by all this scheming and scheming?

 C27

    His bright red clothes were slightly open, revealing the snow-white skin on his chest. Coupled with his pair of peach blossom eyes that rippled with spring light, in Yu Lingjing''s eyes, he looked just like a beautiful old procuress in spring. Aiyo, our family''s War God is here? "Could it be that the sun has risen from the west? I''ve known you for so many years, yet no major event has come to find me. This has never happened before!"


    "I''m not looking for you." Yu Ling Jing looked at him, and then continued walking forward. Currently, he rarely visited the official''s house, but she was extremely familiar with the topography and the roads here ¡­ Because she bought, rarely came, but once or twice he made a note of the road...


    "He''s looking for beautiful women again." The official stood up and straightened his clothes. Alright, his way of thinking was the same as being unreasonable. If not for the fact that Yu Ling Jing was already used to it, he would have thrown it out with a wave of his hand.


    "That''s right!" Yu Lingjing replied blandly.


    "You definitely took the wrong medicine." The official felt as if he had discovered something extraordinary, as Yu Ling Jing actually said something like this. Yu Lingjing didn''t pay any more attention to him and kept walking forward. In his heart, he secretly wondered where Qi Shu County was. He didn''t want to go and ask the official about it. That guy was always making a fuss and was in a lot of trouble. When he was passing by the pond in the garden, he suddenly saw a thin figure in front of him. He suddenly felt a little happy in his heart, so he quickly walked over.


    "What are you doing here?" Standing at his side, Yu Lingjing suddenly spoke up.


    "Look at the scenery." Yu Ling Jing didn''t intentionally hide his footsteps and breath. Naturally, Qi Wanli County had already sensed that someone was coming. However, he didn''t turn his head because he had already guessed who it was. With such steady footsteps, Yu Ling Jing was the only one he knew.


    "It looks like this ¡­" Yu Lingjing suddenly felt a little awkward. It was not good for talking, so he really didn''t know what to say at this time. "The atmosphere suddenly turned awkward again, so he had no choice but to find something to say." Does it look good? " After he said this, he suddenly felt like hitting himself. If he didn''t look good, what was there to look at ¡­


    "Yes." Qi Wan County replied. Afterwards, the only sound that could be heard was the sound of wind by the side of the pond. The two of them lowered their heads to look at the carp in the pond. Qi Wan County suddenly felt that it was very funny, then had already revealed a gentle smile. And at some point, Yu Ling Jing had stopped looking at the fish in the pond and was now looking at Qi Wan County from the side. He suddenly felt that standing with Qi Wan County, even without saying anything, was a very beautiful thing. At this time, it was already the beginning of spring. The weather slowly began to heat up and new sprouts began to appear from the branches of the willow tree. It seemed to have a touch of green, but also seemed to not have any. It felt like a drizzle of rain. Just like his feelings for her at this moment, they seemed to be very strong and they did not exist.


    "Then let''s go out and play together." The official, Guan Ying, who would always appear at the wrong time to ruin the atmosphere, was here again. Yu Lingjing''s face suddenly turned ugly. He glared at the official. However, the official did not seem to feel anything.


    "No, there isn''t much fun in the capital." Without waiting for Yu Lingjing to reject, someone else had already snatched it. Yu Lingjing turned around and glanced at him. A smile that could barely be seen appeared on his face. Since the appearance of Qi Wan County, Yu Ling Jing had laughed more and more.


    "You think this place isn''t fun because you''ve been here for a long time. You''ve already played all the fun places, but your senior sisters definitely haven''t played any yet. So let''s just take them out for fun. " The official''s shadow grabbed Qi Shu County''s sleeve and acted like a spoiled child, but who knew if he wanted someone to accompany him out for fun, or if he really wanted to take them out for fun?


    "Do you think they look like people who like to play?" Qi Wanxian, you said something to block off the official''s unrestrained suggestion.


    "To relax." The official pouted his mouth and winked at Qi Wanjun.


    "Alright then." Qi Wanjun accidentally thought about it and his face exploded with vulgarities. Why did his senior sister like this kind of person!? However, for the sake of his senior''s blissful life, Tan decided to stay with this seductive woman for a while longer. Qi Wanshi''s heart was shouting loudly. Senior Sister, look how much I love you. For you, I will even disgust myself, okay?


    It had to be said that with so many handsome men and beautiful women walking on the streets, the ability to attract attention was definitely one of the best. The man was staring at Qi Shu and the others, while the woman was staring at Yu Ling Jing and the others, eating both young and old. After their trip, the capital began to gossip about them. The marriage between Qi Wan County and Yu Ling Jing was also very quick, and it was already known by the people. This was great, all those rumors about the Regent having a sleeve with a severed arm had been dispelled. On the contrary, there was a few more scenes of another person''s romantic affairs, saying that the other two girls were his soulmates. However, for people like this, the more rumors, the better. Of course, this was all in the future. At this moment, they were still slowly walking in the wide market. They completely ignored the stares from the people behind them. However, it had to be said that it was very boring for a group of overly rational people to come out and play together. They walked like this, not buying anything or showing any interest in anything. For some reason, Guan Yuanzhong suddenly became quiet again. He walked alone, giving off a very lonely feeling.


    "Junior Sister, do you want to eat that? I''ll buy it for you. " Someone finally spoke. Qing Mo Xue saw an old lady carrying a sweet gourd walking over, and immediately pointed at Qi Wan County. He could still remember when he was young, he would always use the candied fruits to coax his junior sister whenever she cried. However, since they lived on the mountain, there was no place for them to buy candied fruits. Those candied fruits were all made by their master, who always seemed to know everything. And even when she grew up in Qi Wan County, she also had a special liking for candied fruits.


    "Alright!" Qi Dian immediately laughed when he heard this. He revealed two small canines at the corner of his mouth, looking especially cute.


    "No need." Yu Ling Jing suddenly said from the side. Qi Wan County really wanted to tell him not to speak carelessly, but when he turned around, he discovered that there was already a stick of candied fruits in his hand. In fact, Yu Ling Jing just saw Qi Wan County keeping an eye on the candy seller, so he quickly guessed that Qi Wan liked the candied fruits, so he bought them for her. Unfortunately, no one else noticed.


    "Eh." Qi Wanshi stared blankly for a moment, as she felt that her reaction speed was getting slower and slower.


    "Do you like anything else?" Yu Lingjing didn''t notice the astonished look on the faces of the people beside him. Was this really the legendary war god that killed people like this? He looked just like a warm-hearted man!


    "I don''t like it." Qi Wanshi didn''t accept his kindness, but he had already received the candied fruits and started to eat.


    "My Junior Sister likes to eat osmanthus cake and all the other sweet things." Seeing the two of them like this, Qing Mo Xue couldn''t help but want to tease her junior sister.


    "Thank you, Senior Sister." Yu Lingjing''s sudden words startled everyone. Even the officials couldn''t help but think, could he have been infected by me? How can he be so shameless?


    "Who''s your senior sister!" Qi Wanli stuttered as he spoke, but his words didn''t sound intimidating at all. On the contrary, they gave off a kind of adorable feeling.


    "Aren''t yours mine?" Yu Lingjing''s tone was still cold, but how could someone use such a shameless tone to say such words?


    "Oh my god, this sun definitely came from the west." The shadow of the official turned his head to look at the direction of the sun.


    "Do you even have any shame?" Qi Wanshi''s eyes were only slightly opened from his shock. She felt as if she had never met this person before.


    "En, I don''t want it anymore. I already have a very handsome face." Yu Lingjing didn''t realize that the person beside him had become completely petrified the moment he said those words!


    "Eh, I feel like my outlook on life is going to be overturned because of this." Guan Yingying placed his slender fingers on his forehead and acted as if he was about to faint. However, he quickly stood up and walked forward seriously while chanting.


    "Asking what the emotions in this world are would cause a great change in one''s personality."


    "What you just said is really fitting for two people." At this time, Ruan Qingyan who had been silent all this time spoke up. He sounded like he was concluding something in Qi Wan County. However, there were probably only three girls who could understand what he meant.


    "Other than the wargod, who else can it be?" The shadow of the government office opened its eyes wide, black and white...


    "Guess." Ruan Qingyan blinked her eyes and pretended to be deep in thought.


    "Get lost!" This was absolutely courting death!


    "Say it again, be careful that I don''t blind you." As Ruan Qingyan spoke, she turned her head and looked at Qing Mo Xue with a smile.


    As expected, someone was unhappy, so he decided to shut up. And looking at Qi Wanxian and Yu Lingjing being stood there by someone, they were both tightly pursing their lips and not saying a single word. Not to mention, they really were a good match, a perfect match! But her own good friend seemed reluctant... But that''s fine. Once you enter a noble house, you will be as deep as the seas. However, who can control feelings and such things?

 C28

    "Have you guys found a house yet?" It had to be said that Yu Ling Jing really knew how to find a topic to talk about. If he had nothing to say, then it would be quite depressing.


    "I haven''t even been here for a day, not yet." Qi Dian felt the corner of her mouth twitch. How did she come out to play and even ask about this? But in order to not embarrass someone, she reluctantly answered.


    "How about I help you guys find it?" Yu Lingjing frowned. He didn''t know why, but he suddenly didn''t want the three of them to live in an official''s house. Maybe it was because he felt that someone was too dangerous.


    "No need." Qi Wan County bluntly refused. With a prince to find a house for her, they didn''t have that much face.


    "Then let''s go for a swim in the lake." Seeing the two of them having such a boring conversation, the official suddenly thought of a fun place and hurriedly suggested, interrupting the conversation of two bored people.


    "That''s no fun." Qi Wanli didn''t even think before directly refusing.


    "Why is it not fun? I think it''s pretty fun." The shadow of the official rolled his eyes. Could it be that this girl didn''t want to go anywhere to play?


    "My family in Wanzhou is seasick." Qing Mo Xue snickered at the side. He had exposed another weakness of his Junior Martial Sister.


    "Haha, I''m dying of laughter ¡­" "You, a travelling martial artist, actually fainted." The official was laughing out loud, but he didn''t know where the point of her laughter was. Qi Wan County''s ears slightly blushed, this was something she really didn''t want to talk about. When I was young, I got seasick and fell into the water, and she couldn''t swim.


    "Do you want to die?" Qi Wanjun suddenly remembered her childhood experience. It had to be said that it was one of the shadows of his life, and now she felt as if her anger had left her body. If it wasn''t for Senior Sister, she would have already made her move.


    "Aiyo, I''m so scared." The shadow of the government office shrank back as the light in its eyes flickered. However, it was enough for a man like him to do such a thing. Qi Dian and Ruan Qingyan felt nauseous looking at him like this, but there was another girl who felt that he was especially funny and funny.


    "Alright, stop messing around. I won''t be going then." Ruan Qingyan spoke indifferently, these few people were extremely cold and terrifying whenever they acted properly. And later they would know that someone who had never been there before was actually more frightening than they were.


    "This won''t do, the scenery in the middle of the lake is especially beautiful." Under the willow tree, the official pointed to the middle of the lake. It was said that the combination of red and green was simply unbearable to look at, but at this moment, the bright red clothes and the faint green color of the willow tree branches combined together made him look like a colorful painting in Qing Mo Xue''s eyes.


    "What the hell, the scenery in the middle of the lake?" Just a moment ago, Qing Mo Xue was looking at a certain someone in a daze. But in the next second, her face completely changed as she spoke ferociously. In the eyes of her junior sister, she had already become the most ungrateful person in the world.


    Take a look for yourselves. Come closer and look better." Guan Yuanzhong felt helpless. The group looked towards the center of the lake. It was already late, but there was still a faint mist in the middle of the lake, hazy and mysterious. There was a faint deep green color within that layer of white yarn. It looked like a house, with four corners that were slightly tilted. There was actually a house in the center of it, which was quite strange. Qing Mo Xue suddenly became interested in this.


    "Senior Sister, you guys can go now. I''ll just wait here by myself." "Or I can go back first." Qi Wanshi was so sensitive that he noticed the excitement in his Senior Sister''s eyes. I can''t ruin Senior Sister''s happiness because of me.


    "But ¡­" Qing Mo Xue felt that if they were to go, it would be too disloyal to leave her junior sister alone.


    "I''m fine with staying with her, I don''t want to go ¡­" Yu Lingjing suddenly spoke up.


    "Alright, I''ll leave my junior sister to you." Qing Mo Xue looked at Yu Ling Jing. She thought that maybe it would be helpful for her junior sister''s love life in the future if they could get along well before marriage. It was already difficult for her to continue on with her life, so her junior apprentice sister didn''t have any other choice.


    "Yes." Yu Ling Scenic Spot nodded.


    "Senior Sister ¡­" Can you be more careful when you speak? " Qi Wan County frowned, and was slightly speechless. Why did everyone want to get the two of them together?


    "Hehe, I can''t." Qing Mo Xue smiled craftily. Diao Ying, who was watching from the side, suddenly felt that the girl looked weird. She looked the same in front of her friend, and when she was facing someone else, she looked the same. But they were all so real.


    "Then you can go." The official pretended to be impatient and waved his hand.


    "I don''t want to go either. The two of you can go together. I want to go back and see a medical book. " Ruan Qingyan felt that if she was with Qing Mo Xue and Shangguan Ying, she would feel a little awkward, because she would feel that she was an unnecessary person. After all, he knew what someone was thinking.


    "You are all teasing me... Right? A group of people came out to play, and then just the two of us. Why are you reading a medical book? A medical saint like you doesn''t have anything good to look at. " This official was no longer happy. He naturally liked people more boisterous and lively, but now there were only three people out there.


    "To live and learn until the end. You don''t understand. " Ruan Qingyan said seriously. Of course, even if he were to head back now, he might not necessarily be reading a medical book in the future. There was a high possibility that he might be working on a new poison.


    "All right, all right, how about the two of us? "As long as Lady Qing Mo Xue doesn''t mind me, of course I won''t mind." The shadow of the official rolled his eyes. Only then did he realize that he was completely unable to stop these people who wanted to leave.


    "Children of the martial arts world, don''t bother about small matters." Qing Mo Xue said grandly. Ruan Qingyan and Qi Lun smiled at each other tacitly. The two of them only had one friend in common. It seemed that they had truly fallen into enemy hands. Although they felt that he was always a slob, they felt that he was not a bad person. At the same time, they also believed in their good friend''s judgement. If the eyes of the number one woman in the martial arts world were not good, then the men of the other candidates were not allowed to have them.


    Qi Wan County and Yu Ling Jing slowly walked along the water''s edge. Meanwhile, Ruan Qingyan had long left. On the other hand, Qing Mo Xue and Guang Zhen rented a small boat and went to the center of the lake together to enjoy the scenery.


    "In Tianjin, the drizzle is soft, but the grass color is not. Most importantly, it has the benefit of spring. It is definitely superior to all the fireworks in the capital." Qi Xi stood on the shore, then suddenly recited a poem.


    "Jian Jia, Cang Cang, the white dew is frost. "The so-called ''Yi'' is on the side of the water." Yu Ling Jing didn''t have the intention to praise this scenery at all, his eyes were completely filled with Qi Wanli County.


    "Do you like me?" Qi Wanjun suddenly turned around and stared at her as he asked word by word. Yu Ling Jing panicked at the look in his eyes, and suddenly didn''t know how to reply.


    After a long while, the two of them fell into a deathly silence.


    "Yes." Yu Ling Jing replied. Another gust of wind blew past, blowing the grass into bits and pieces. At the same time, the woman jumped out of the water with a tiny splash. Everything was so peaceful and beautiful, but at this moment, Yu Lingjing''s heart was surging with emotions. He began to ponder when exactly did he start feeling these feelings, and why? Was there really no need for a reason like love? What was it about her feelings, like them, or just curiosity about the unknown?


    "Do you know what it is?" Qi Dian continued to ask with a tone that was neither humble nor arrogant. There wasn''t a single ripple in his tone. It was even colder than the calm surface of the lake.


    "I don''t know. I only know that I care about you. You are different to me. " Yu Lingjing had lived for so many years, but for the first time in his life someone had asked him a question. He really didn''t understand these things. He didn''t know how to answer. He was also afraid that if he answered, it would be better not to. He was suddenly worried that Qi Wan County would leave without a word.


    "I care about a lot of people. Everyone is different to me." Qi Wanli lightly said, his eyes flashing with light, reflecting the sunlight directly into Yu Ling Jing''s heart.


    "Do you love me?" Qi Wanshi suddenly laughed, and his smile was even more brilliant than her usual smile. It was so bright that it seemed as if this smile didn''t belong to him.


    "I don''t know. I don''t want to say love." Yu Lingjing was speechless. No one had ever told him what these things were. Before this, he had never thought about these things. He did not know that girls would care about these things. He just felt that it was love to care, and he would think that it was care. However, he suddenly realized that he might be wrong. A person would care about a lot of people, and a person would like a lot of people. However, a person who truly loved someone would only love that one person. But when he thought about his youth many years later, he had to admit that he had been caught up in it when he first saw Qi Wanjun''s smile.


    "I don''t want to either. I don''t want to play with you, so if you don''t love me, don''t be so nice to me. " He continued to look at the lake. Although this time he didn''t turn around and leave as usual, she made Yu Ling Jing feel even more distant. He felt that their relationship had returned to the freezing point.


    A water bird glided across the water. Its white wings drew a beautiful curve, but it soon disappeared without a trace, leaving no trace behind. It was as if it had never existed in the future.

 C29

    Ever since the two of them parted ways by the lake, they never contacted each other again.


    For the first time, Yu Ling Jing didn''t know what he was really thinking. Besides, he had been busy fighting the crown prince for intelligence and had not had time to think about such things. He didn''t even go to Qi Wan County on the day they moved. Actually, there wasn''t much of a conflict between them. All he did was say the words in his heart, and the relationship between them became awkward. What was there to say?


    However, Qi Wan County seemed to be in the best of moods, their house had long since been found by the official. The house was not very big, and it was surrounded on all four sides by bamboo. It should be cool during the summer. The green and ink-colored tiles, the snow-white walls, and the beautiful bamboo were like a beautiful ink painting. It wasn''t particularly luxurious, nor was it high-profile, but it just happened to be something that three girls liked.


    The three girls lived here, and with two or three servants, it was not very lively, but it was not very lonely. The official was still the same as before, always coming to cause trouble with them. Everything seemed the same as before, but the things in his heart had changed.


    It was just like when there was a ruckus. Sometimes, both Qing Mo and Guan Ying would look at each other and smile. Their relationship didn''t seem to be that great, but the subtle things that suddenly appeared when they got along with each other were completely different from before.


    Qi Wan County was lying alone on the window, looking up at the moon in the sky.


    The moon was very round tonight, but it wasn''t very bright. The surroundings emitted a faint glow, giving off a hazy feeling. Even the nearby stars seemed particularly bright.


    What was he doing now? Are you sleeping or still on duty?


    Qi Wan County dragged his cheeks and started to think about some things. A familiar figure suddenly appeared in her eyes. She was somewhat astonished. Why was he here?


    A gust of cold wind blew, the bamboo forest rustled, Qi Dian County quivered, and immediately came back to his senses. Why did I have the illusion again? It seems like my recent sleep was not good at all. Otherwise, why is my mind still unclear?


    Moonlight shone softly on the floor of the study through the lattice of the carved windows. Yuing Jing put down his pen and stretched. It was getting late, and he pushed open the door to return to the bedroom. Suddenly, from who knows where, Nightingale began to sing softly.


    He suddenly felt that his tired body was not as tired as it used to be. He looked up at the moon, and soon I was covered by a cloud. He shook his head. He didn''t want to see the moon.


    Qi Wan County closed the window, and even the reward for a month was so disheartening. He had been making all sorts of plans to assassinate the crown prince. He knew that he did not have the ability to do so, so he could only deal with him using ''the Crown Prince'' as a form of defense. After all, it was already quite good that the other party was the crown prince.


    But he made all sorts of plans, and he couldn''t find one that would satisfy him and make him absolutely sure he was safe. He wasn''t afraid of losing his credibility. She was afraid that even if she died, she wouldn''t be able to kill him.


    The sun had just risen. Qi and Wan Prefecture sat in the pavilion in the small garden at the center of the house, watching as their senior sister walked over step by step. Qi Wan lightly closed her eyes, her feather-like eyelashes lightly trembling. She hadn''t had a good rest in October, so the faint dark circles around her eyes contrasted sharply with her pale cheeks. When Qing Mo Xue saw her Junior Sister acting like this, her heart ached.


    "Senior Sister, what do you think I should do?" His voice was also a little shaky, and it could be heard that she was actually quite helpless right now.


    She had never been on guard against Qing Mo Xue before. She believed in her senior sister, so she very naturally revealed those emotions she did not want to show to others.


    "In my opinion, although you said you were smart, the only strength you have is, we are just people in the martial arts world, your foster father, I know that you do not want to implicate him. But if you want to take revenge, how can you overthrow a crown prince without the support of an official? " Although Qing Mo Xue''s heart ached for her Junior Sister, there were some things that she had to say directly. Many things were left up to the bystanders to see, so she felt that rather than letting her Junior Sister carry those messy thoughts, it would be better to tell her directly.


    "I don''t need to overthrow him, I want to kill him!" Qi Wanshi I opened my eyes, red eyes, eyes revealed a vicious light. She was no longer who she used to be.


    "Is that really all? How can you kill him if it''s just that? You can''t even get into the palace. Right now, the palace guards are extremely tight, and I heard that you can''t even fly a single bird, not to mention you''re alone, if no one takes you in, how are you going to get there? " When Qing Mo Xue saw this scene, her heart was in a mess. She suddenly felt a special nostalgia for Qi Lan. At that time, although Qi Lan had seen a lot of incidents in the mortal world, it didn''t happen to her. She still believed that the world was beautiful, but now ¡­ However, in Qing Mo Xue''s eyes, some words were better than nothing ¡­ Rather than hesitating and beating around the bush, saying whatever it was was, it was better to just tell him the method and the serious consequences.


    "I can figure it out for myself." Qi Wanxian felt his nose was sour, and his words were accompanied by a thick nasal voice. He didn''t want to shed tears in front of Qing Mo Xue, she didn''t want to continue worrying. Therefore, she tried her best to hold back the tears in her eyes.


    "Do you think those words in the book could be used as a eunuch to enter?" Qing Mo Xue frowned, but the words she spoke did not have the slightest intention of being tactful. She didn''t want her Junior Sister to take the risk.


    "I know it''s not that simple. Senior Sister, what do you think I should do? " Qi Wanxian closed his eyes, allowing his emotions to stabilize.


    Qing Mo Xue was silent for a while, then she opened her mouth and spoke each word. It was as if he was making suggestions to someone who had nothing to do with him... However, he knew that this was the only way for his Junior Sister to truly listen to him.


    "I think the best way for you is to first obediently marry Yu Lingjing. Although I know that marriage isn''t something that can be used as a trade, but if you want revenge, you have to do it this way. As your senior sister, I naturally don''t want your marriage to be this way, but as a person who advises you, this is the best advice. As long as you marry the Regent, do you still fear that you won''t have many chances to meet the Crown Prince in the future? "


    "Maybe I can block the way to assassinate him." Qi Wan County didn''t think about marrying the Emperor at all. Even when the Emperor bestowed the marriage upon them, his first thought was, "Since I can''t refuse, then flee!"


    "The chances of failure are ninety percent. The Imperial Court''s Embroidered Uniform Guard is not weak. How could they let a martial artist like you succeed?" Qing Mo Xue''s gaze was ice-cold as she stared at her Junior Sister. Right now, she only wanted her to wake up as soon as possible. "To let him know how difficult it was." Perhaps, you can ask that foster father of yours, who''s over fifty years old, to help you. " As she said this, Qing Mo Xue suddenly snorted.


    "I know." Qi Wan County''s heart turned cold. He had always seen this matter as something that belonged solely to him. If she failed, she would be dead, but now she realized that she had completely ignored the other consequences. Regardless of success or failure, this was still a great crime of killing nine clans. If she wanted to involve no one else, she would have to pull the Crown Prince down through improper means.


    "You can''t live in hatred forever. Either choose the safest way or give up. The wicked have their retribution. " Seeing the disheartened look on her face and the extreme discomfort in her heart, Qing Mo Xue couldn''t help but try to console her.


    "Then why isn''t there a good reward for the good guys ¡­" Hearing this, Qi Wan County''s mood began to become unstable again. Her parents had never done anything bad, but because their daughter had saved a person, they were exterminated ¡­


    "Alright, if you choose, Senior Sister will support you with all her strength." Qing Mo Xue smiled at her.


    "Thank you, Senior Sister." Qi Wanli gazed at his senior sister, suddenly feeling that he was not alone. He still had a very good friend. He wasn''t without worry in this world. She still hoped that she could live well and be with the people she cared about. This was what his parents really wanted to see. It wouldn''t be too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years.


    "Silly girl." Qing Mo Xue looked at the silent Qi Shu County. He suddenly realized that the Junior Martial Sister he had been taking care of had already grown up. He could think of many things from just a single sentence. He really had the feeling that a girl had just matured in his house.


    "And me." At this moment, Ruan Qingyan walked out from the corner of the corridor. She was not as smart as Qing Mo Xue. He was afraid that if he said something wrong, he would hurt his good friend. Thus, she had chosen to evade.


    Spring had truly come, and the sprouts on the willow trees were growing more and more. It seemed that there was no longer any sense of haziness. Even the peach tree that looked withered had tender leaves growing on it. There seemed to be some gray flower bud on the tip of the branch. If the temperature was a little higher, it would only open up.


    Qi Dian looked at his two good friends. He suddenly felt that perhaps the heavens were fair to everyone. Whatever you lose, he will compensate you with something of equal value. Unfortunately, after a long period of time, he had always despised this idea of his. The heavens had never been fair ¡­ But if the end of a thing is not good, then it is not the true end.

    In a small teahouse in Beijing, a few commoners made a table and shared their after-dinner discussions.


    Suddenly, one of them winked and said, "Hmm, it''s not some big news." Have you heard? The Regent God of War is going to be married in ten days? "


    "How do you know?" The other person in sackcloth asked. The one who spoke first heard that they didn''t know anything about it, so he suddenly became excited. His face was filled with pride.


    The other person suddenly laughed vulgarly and said in a low voice, "I always thought that prince was the best person in Long Yang."


    They all smiled tacitly. One must know that in this dynasty, sixteen or seventeen years old, one must know that they were going to be married. However, this prince was still unmarried at the age of twenty-one? That crown prince who was two years younger than him now had a son, which was why the rumors about the mighty and dignified Regent were spread. He was a fetishist. It was a pity that someone did not pay any attention to such things. If he knew what the commoners would say, what kind of expression would he have?


    The person who spoke had smiles in his eyes. After all, it was very difficult to find information that no one else knew. He was the focus of the entire conversation. He grabbed a handful of melon seeds on the table and slowly said, "Isn''t there someone working in the palace at home? They say that they''re busy preparing something for them right now."


    "Oh wow, who is that bride?" Everyone at the seats seemed especially interested in the news. After all, it was boring after dinner. Furthermore, everyone who came to this place liked to gossip.


    "I heard she''s the adopted daughter of the Zuo Xiang Clan." The man knocked on a melon seed, then casually spat the shell on the ground. Of course, the people sitting with him wouldn''t care about these things.


    Prime Minister Zuo''s adopted daughter?" "Isn''t she a pretty girl? I remember that half a month ago, I saw the Regent and a few pretty girls walking together. Oh, and also that young master from the Shangguan family." When a person heard this, his eyes rolled around, as if he had thought of something.


    "Aren''t you speaking too vaguely? There are too many beautiful girls in the capital." The man said disdainfully after knocking on another melon seed. Indeed, who could tell who was who by the word beautiful?


    "I think that girl is the prettiest in the capital." Then, he would choose to ignore him. Then, a hint of a yearning smile appeared on his face. Everyone has a heart that loves beauty.


    "I wonder if there''s a chance for me to take a look as well." A civilian who had been silent all this time suddenly spoke up. Anyone who didn''t want to look at a beauty would have their eyes raised.


    "You country bumpkin, forget it." a big man joked.


    "You''re not the same." The people who were mocked rolled their eyes ¡­


    It was still by the lakeside. The spring breeze blew gently, causing the lake''s surface to ripple. The reflection of the setting sun on the surface of the water also began to wrinkle. Yu Ling Jing stood tall and straight, and a unique aura formed around him as he stood there. Today, he was wearing a navy blue outfit, a rare sight. Usually, he would wear black here with golden patterns swirling around his sleeves. Coincidentally, Qi Shu was wearing a blue skirt today. The two of them chose to wear the same skirt and it looked like a perfect match. Qi Wan County looked down at the blurry reflection of a person on the water''s surface. A fish swam by, shattering their reflections, and then quickly returned to its original form.


    "I feel like the two of us are fated to be together. Why does it feel like there are fishes appearing whenever we''re alone?" Yu Ling Jing was the first to break the silence, but the other side had no intention of responding. In the past few days, he didn''t actually think about this girl very often, because he was too busy to remember anything. However, the wedding date was approaching ¡­ There are some things better said in person...


    "I thought you were going to run away, but I didn''t think that you still hadn''t run away." Yu Lingjing was silent for a moment. He thought that perhaps he didn''t want to hear this nonsense, so he decided to get straight to the point.


    "Qi Wan County has always been stiff with friendship, and Yu Ling Jing always wanted to know when Qi Wan County would treat him like her friend." "Do you believe that I''ll run tonight?" There was a chill in her voice that didn''t belong in spring.


    "I don''t believe it." Yu Ling Jing answered with determination.


    "Where did you get your confidence from?" Qi Dian raised his head and looked at Yu Ling Jing. He was not short, but to stand in front of a wargod who looked 1.9 meters tall made him look extremely small and petite. At this moment, she was untactfully running away, as if she knew that someone''s Qing Gong was better than hers.


    "You still want revenge, don''t you?" Yu Lingjing''s cold voice pulled the girl back from her reverie.


    "Since you already know that I married you for revenge, you''re still willing to marry me?" Qi Wan County was somewhat puzzled. No one would be willing to let someone with a purpose approach them. Success.


    "Just treat it as me paying back the life that I owe you ¡­" Yu Lingjing suddenly laughed coldly. In his eyes, that unique girl was looking at him like he was a nobody.


    "It seems that I really didn''t save the wrong person. However, if it wasn''t because of you, how would I even need to take revenge?" Qi Dian felt that his smile was particularly dazzling, but he also smiled. Her smile was different from Yu Ling Jing''s, Yu Ling Jing''s smile was cold, and his smile was filled with determination.


    "That''s not what I thought." Yu Lingjing looked at this expression and felt speechless.


    "You''ve said the same thing a second time." Qi Dian withdrew the smile from the corner of his mouth. He indifferently glanced at Yu Ling Jing, then turned around and was about to leave. Yu Ling Jing looked at Qi Lun slowly turning around, his eyes flashed with a hint of hesitation, and then he stretched out his hand to grab Qi Lun County''s arm. He suddenly realized that this girl was really thin. He could feel that the hand through the cloth was just skin and bones.


    "Let go." Qi Wanshi gritted his teeth and said ruthlessly. Yu Ling Jing didn''t say anything and didn''t release his hand. Qi Lang also stopped talking and didn''t struggle. The two just stood there in a deadlock. After half a minute, Qi Wan felt her hand loosen and her heart became empty. However, he still chose to leave without looking back. Qi Wanshi didn''t want the two of them to have any real feelings towards each other, because feelings in her heart were something that would affect others. Once they had feelings for each other, they would act with more apprehension. He was actually afraid of a lot. He was afraid that the people around him would leave him again, and he didn''t want the people he cared about to increase. The more he cared about, the more he was afraid he would lose. However, who could truly control something like emotions?


    The peach blossoms on the peach tree had already bloomed. A tree of peach blossoms with a thousand red flowers looked just like the colorful clouds on the horizon in the evening.


    "I like you." Yu Ling Jing behind the vast blue sky, a soft white cloud, slowly floated past. The warm sunlight shone on her face, making everything seem so illusory ¡­ So beautiful... A light breeze brought with it the fragrance of flowers and the corner of his clothes. It felt like it was being blown away by the wind.


    "Yes." The person standing in front of her had peach blossoms on his face, and his ears were red. His eyes seemed to contain millions of stars.


    "Really." Yu Ling Jing looked lovingly at the girl, a gentle smile on his lips as he reached out to stroke the girl''s head. It was as if he was cherishing a treasure ¡­


    "Got it." The girl obediently lowered her head, her ears turning even redder. The myriad stars in her eyes instantly turned into a pool of spring water, so warm that it seemed as if they could melt a person inside.


    "What about you?" Yu Lingjing never stopped smiling. His other hand was tightly gripping the fan. At this moment, his heart was covered in a thin layer of cold sweat. He could feel his heart beating faster and faster,


    "I like you too." The girl replied shyly, slowly raising her head to look at Yu Ling Jing''s expression. Yu Ling Jing stretched out his hand as if he wanted to hug the girl, but everything stopped just like that, as if time itself had stopped. Yu Lingjing''s hand was still a centimeter away from the girl''s shoulder.


    At this moment, the wind suddenly grew stronger, blowing Yu Ling Jing away with the wind. He really was like that, dissipating in the air with the wind. There were no traces at all, the girl who looked like a peach blossom just now was given a big jump, his face was especially anxious, his eyes sparkled with sparkling tears, he reached out his hand to randomly touch the air, but he couldn''t grab anything, everything was like a dream, that person had never come before.


    He felt a thin layer of sweat on his back, and he patted his head. Why did he have such a dream? Did she really like him? Was it a dream or a dream that was always the opposite of reality?


    Qi Wanshi habitually turned his head to look out of the window. The moon was no longer the full moon that he had seen a few nights ago, but it was now full. The moon was curved like a yellow beautiful boat emitting a cold light, carrying people''s thoughts through the deep night sky, slowly moving through the colorful clouds. When everyone woke up tomorrow, and when the sun came out tomorrow, Qi Wanxian would have to wear her own mask again, to escape from her true thoughts in the dark, to face everything in reality with a different face.


    But how long could he pretend like this?


    Everything was very simple, everything would come at once without any warning, and everything would leave without a sound.

 C31

    Inside the lobby, the sun was shining brightly. On the table, there was a precious porcelain teapot. Some were big and some were small, but without exception, all of them had exquisite patterns, while the others were simple and elegant. The Minister of the Left just sat like that on a wooden chair in the middle of the hall, his face facing the sun, looking especially kind.


    "I say, you should have come back to visit your father since you''ve been in the capital for so long." The Minister of the Left narrowed his eyes and said, although it was a reproachful remark, it revealed his affection for Qi Wanxian. Although the girl in front of him didn''t stay by his side for too long, in his heart, she was like his biological daughter, because he and Qi Shu''s biological parents were also good friends for many years.


    "Aren''t there a few older brothers who are with you?" Qi Wanli raised the corner of his mouth into a smile. He had indeed been thinking about revenge these past few days and had completely forgotten about it. He wanted to come back and see this foster father of his. He suddenly felt that he was a bit selfish. Why did he always think about his own matters and forget about the feelings of the people around him?


    "What''s the use of your brothers? will only cause me trouble. " The Left Minister laughed, the lines at the corners of his eyes twisting. The silver hair at his temples stood out in the sunlight.


    "Father, I know I was wrong. Am I not back?" Qi Wanxian looked at the wrinkles at the corner of his foster father''s eyes and the silver hair. Everything had changed so quickly, but she was powerless to change it. All he could do was keep moving forward along the river of time. He needed to work hard to run, so that instead of being pushed along by the river, he would have to walk by himself.


    "I know that you stayed outside because you were happy and free. Now that you''re back, it''s also because you''re getting married, right?" The Minister of the Left used his hand to stroke his gray beard. If he was old and spicy, how could he not know what Qi Lan County was thinking? However, he still sounded a little jealous when he said that.


    "Father, I know that you treat me like your own daughter, but there are some things that I have to do by myself." She knew what her foster father wanted to say, but she would not listen to him, even if she respected him.


    "Silly child, if father can help you, I will definitely help you. It''s just that my large family can''t all be because of you ¡­" The Minister of the Left withdrew his smile and his expression suddenly turned serious. He knew that Qi Wan County didn''t just stay outside to be free, she also wanted to keep her relationship with him as distant as possible. Perhaps, after she did that thing, she would be able to harm them to a minimum. The Left Premier also wanted to help her, but he knew that he couldn''t rely on him for the sake of his family.


    "I know, father, I didn''t want you to do this for me ¡­" Qi Wanshi looked at his foster father''s conflicted expression, and his heart was especially uncomfortable. His foster father was especially good to her. Since he was young, he had always come from his own home when he was free. The people of this family had never treated her as an outsider either.


    "Ai, I don''t know what kind of evil it is. "But don''t worry. If it''s necessary, foster father will definitely help you." Because of his old age, the Left Premier had cloudy eyes as he looked at Qi Shu County. Under the sunlight, the young girl''s face seemed especially beautiful. He really had grown up. He was no longer the same old man who trained diligently. However, she was always yelling about the little girl who wanted to hug him.


    "Isn''t this Wuxian? How can you bear to come back?" A noblewoman walked out from the corner behind the screen. She was dressed in complex white clothes that dragged on the ground as she walked over, step by step. She looked like a lotus flower.


    "Mother." Qi Dian looked at this familiar figure, and suddenly couldn''t speak. At this moment, he suddenly realized that she had lost a home. She had another home. However, the blood was as thick as water, and the hatred wouldn''t fade because of anything.


    "Alright, alright, alright, it''s good that you''re back. You''re also someone who''s about to get married. I''m afraid you''ll be able to come back even less often." The noble madame nodded with a smile. At this moment, she looked somewhat similar to the Minister of the Left who was sitting there. Qi Wanshi stood up and walked over to the noblewoman''s side. Then, he extended his hand and gently pulled her hand, which, even though it could be taken care of, had slightly relaxed her skin. Qi Wanshi''s finger slowly rubbed against that old skin. The Left Premier''s wife lightly patted Qi Wanxian''s shoulder to comfort him.


    "I won''t." Qi Dian said indifferently.


    "The prince has arrived!" The servant''s voice came from outside. Madam Zuo felt her body stiffen for a moment. It seems like this child didn''t really want to marry her future husband ¡­


    "You''d better hurry back to your room and stay there. Before the wedding, it''s better if we don''t meet." The Left Premier''s wife turned to her adopted daughter and said.


    "Master, tell me, is this marriage good or bad?" The Lady Minister of the Left and the Minister of the Left stood in a row, waiting to greet the Prince, she whispered to her husband.


    "Based on status and looks, this marriage can''t be any better." The Minister of the Left turned around and looked at his beloved wife with a profound look in his eyes.


    "But they don''t have any feelings for each other." Madam Zuo frowned, but her tone revealed slight dissatisfaction.


    "Then, did the two of us have no feelings before we got married?" Looking at his wife, the Minister of the Left revealed a gentle smile. He had only married this kind of woman in his life. It was indeed a strange thing to marry this man in his current dynasty, where he had three wives and four concubines. After saying that, she turned around and stared at the door. Her eyes were deep and filled with worry.


    "That''s true, aiya ¡­" The Left Premier''s wife lowered her head. She didn''t notice the look on her husband''s face. He tried to comfort himself by doing so, but he couldn''t help but sigh.


    Yu Ling Jing''s slender figure appeared at the door, giving off the vibe of a natural born king!


    "Greetings, Your Highness." The two of them bowed in unison as they spoke.


    "Minister Zuo, please get up." Yu Lingjing reached out her hands to help the two elders take a look around. Other than a few plain servants, there was no one else.


    "Thank you, Prince!"


    "Your highness is here today to propose marriage. "Then ¡­" The Minister of the Left remained seated at the head of the hall, while the Lady Minister of the Left was seated to his right. Yu Ling Jing held the cup of tea and blew lightly on it.


    "Yes." "I''ll just wait outside with the presents I prepared. If Minister Zuo doesn''t agree, that''s fine too ¡­" Yu Lingjing said half-jokingly. In fact, he only felt that someone might throw out these things ¡­ But even now, he still didn''t see the person he had been waiting for ¡­


    "Isn''t this prince intentionally joking around? Who would dare disapprove of the emperor''s decree?" Moreover, Your Highness, you are the most beautiful man in the Hao Yue Empire, and also the War God. We have no reason to refuse, do we? " Zuo Xiang stroked his beard and smiled. His eyes were still constantly sizing up Yu Lingjing. Although he had always seen this prince in the imperial court and had always been impressed by his intelligence, they rarely met in private. There was a saying that went, ''one doesn''t know the face and one doesn''t know the heart''. She would not completely confirm this person just because she was only in the imperial court and had a very good impression of this prince.


    "Just in case. All of the items used for the marriage proposal are outside. Milord, you can go out and check them out. " Yu Lingjing looked at the Minister of the Left and smiled. The Minister of the Left was a bit confused. He knew that the Prince would always keep a smile on his face. Even if he said something nice, his face would still remain cold. But why did she treat him so well now?


    "Forget it, we still need to check the things that the Prince has given us." The Minister of the Left didn''t mind talking to her about some pleasantries. Sometimes, the more the better.


    "Hur hur." Yu Lingjing smiled dryly. Actually, he felt a bit restrained now. After all, this was the first time she proposed to someone else. Although this marriage had actually been decided long ago, because the Emperor had bestowed it upon her, the etiquette she should have was not lacking. The marriage ceremony of the War God of the Hao Yue Dynasty could not be careless.


    "Your highness, if I had something to say, I''ll just say it directly. I have no children, and only a daughter that I adopted. Although she isn''t my biological daughter, she can''t be compared to me. I hope that after she marries you, you can take good care of her. " Zuo Wuji suddenly became serious. He spoke word by word. The light in his eyes was very sharp. He had been a government official for dozens of years. He couldn''t ignore his imposing aura even though he was a warlord who had experienced hundreds of battles.


    "Of course." Yu Ling Scenic Spot nodded, using the corner of his eyes to once again glance to the side.


    "It''s easier said than done." The Minister of the Left took a sip of tea and spoke slowly.


    "Please rest assured, Minister Zuo." Yu Lingjing nodded politely but strangely.


    "The Left Premier''s wife can''t take it anymore. She and he are a pair for life, so she naturally hopes that her daughter will be treated like this as well." This daughter of mine has never liked to compete with others.


    "Junior will listen to your teachings."


    "Alright." The Minister of the Left relaxed a little when he saw Yu Ling Jing''s sincere expression.


    "Then Prince, why don''t you have lunch here today?" Madam Zuo politely asked him to stay.


    "Sure." Yu Ling Jing looked up at his two elders and smiled.


    The Left Premier and his wife were also smiling, but they were actually wondering in their hearts. This ice-cold prince actually agreed to let them eat at their house. He had really given them a huge amount of face ¡­

 C32

    Prime Minister Zuo. Because they were about to get married, the Left Premier''s wife had ordered that they were not allowed to go out. Otherwise, it would be a bad omen. Although Qi Wan County didn''t believe it and didn''t care about it, she still chose to listen to her.


    Qi Wanxian sat cross-legged on the railing beside the pond. His posture was extremely domineering, and he was constantly throwing small stones into the water. Those who didn''t know what he was doing would think that he was learning to reclaim the sea.


    "I say, you''re someone who''s about to get married, why aren''t you paying attention to your image?" The shadow of the government official lightly walked over, concealing his presence. Someone whose cultivation was lower than him naturally didn''t notice it. He gently pushed Qi Shu County. Qi Shu County''s body swayed, but it quickly stabilized. She turned and threw a flying kick right into the corner of his shirt. She was still slower than he was.


    "Anyway, if someone were to marry her, what kind of image would they need to pay attention to?" Qing Mo Xue looked at her Junior Martial Sister''s angry face and blinked her eyes. Their dimples were deep, as if they were trying to suck a person in.


    "What you said makes sense. I admire you." The shadow of the government office stood at the side as it made a weird sound. As for the usually quiet Ruan Qingyan, she acted as the ice-cold beauty at the side.


    "However, getting married is truly troublesome, and people are actually not allowed to go out to play. I don''t want to get married anymore." It was unknown when the official had appeared on the banyan tree nearby and shouted to the girls below. The sunlight shone brightly on his face. At this moment, in Qing Mo Xue''s eyes, he was the only person left in the entire world.


    "What did you say ¡­" Qing Mo Xue had always been able to control her emotions and say things that were not from her heart. She liked him a lot, but she had no way to put down the modesty of a girl.


    "What I said was the truth. I never wanted to become a spirit. It''s good to be alone and be free." There was a leaf hanging from the corner of his mouth. The dark green light reflected off his bright red lips, making it look extremely alluring.


    "That''s right. This way, you can enjoy the brothels to your heart''s content." Qing Mo Xue rolled her eyes, pretending to be indifferent as she spoke. During this time, he had accompanied someone who boasted that he was an unparalleled figure, to the capital''s best brothel. The interior was crisscrossed with light and was filled with all kinds of salty smells, making people feel particularly uncomfortable. As such, Qing Mo Xue only lasted for less than an hour before she ran off. It was because this official had mocked her for a long time.


    "Can you lower your voice a little? Don''t make me lose all my face." With a "pui" sound, the official spat out the leaf in his mouth and shouted loudly, completely disregarding the image of a noble young master.


    "You still know how to lose face?" Qing Mo Xue didn''t even look at the official as she walked to Qi Wan County''s side, preparing to take her hand.


    "Stop arguing." Qi Wan County suddenly shouted coldly. His eyes were like a pool of stagnant water.


    "What''s wrong?" Seeing this, Ruan Qing Yan was a little worried.


    "Nothing much, I just feel that it''s a little too lively." Qi Wan County shook his head, his voice was low and muffled.


    "That flower heart big radish, you should go, we girls want to talk." Qing Mo Xue glared at him, causing him to roll his eyes.


    "Alright, alright, girls are troublesome." With that, he slipped away like a wisp of smoke. He wasn''t that stupid after all.


    "Junior Sister, what''s wrong?" Qing Mo Xue sat beside Qi Wan County, looking at her somewhat haggard side profile.


    "I don''t know if my choice was right or wrong. I don''t want to use him." Qi Wanli shook his head and looked at Qing Mo Xue and Ruan Qing Yan. There was a hint of helplessness in his eyes.


    "You have no choice." When Qing Mo Xue heard this, her voice became cold and hard. Although he didn''t want his Junior Sister to take revenge, he knew that he couldn''t stop her, so he had to let her choose the right method. At this moment, Ruan Qingyan chose to remain silent. He did not know how to persuade her, so he could only accompany her in silence.


    "But ¡­" Qi Wan County frowned. He didn''t know why, but he felt that using Yu Ling Jing was a very ungrateful thing to do with him. Even though he already knew about it, he didn''t care.


    "This is unlike your style of doing things. It can''t be that you have feelings for him, which is why you have so many misgivings, right?" Qing Mo Xue saw that her Junior Martial Sister seemed to want to continue talking, and her brows wrinkled.


    "Senior Sister, you''re thinking too much. I don''t want to use anyone. " Qi Wan County''s tone and tone had become much more pronounced. He seemed a little too excited. Hearing his tone, Ruan Qingyan could not help but look at him worriedly. Ruan Qingyan had concocted many poisons, but his master had told him since he was young that emotions were the most vicious poisons in this world. However, she didn''t understand it. After a long time, she would truly understand it through her friends.


    "Really? Don''t lie to me. When the two of us grew up together, how could I not know the little Jiu Jiu Jiu in your heart? " Qing Mo Xue tightly stared at her Junior Sister, her eyes filled with a confidence that made Qi Wanli not dare to look directly at her. Qing Mo Xue knew what her Junior Sister minded and feared, but she felt that it was better for her to let him face reality than to let him immerse himself in the web she weaved with lies.


    "But ¡­" How could I possibly like someone so much? " Qi Wanjun shook his head, and his eyes were filled with confusion. No matter how smart a person was, they would still have their moments of confusion. She had never seemed to show such an expression since she could remember, but now she was confused by a man who had ruined his family.


    "Then tell me, how come I like your senior sister so much?" Qing Mo Xue looked in front of her as she spoke slowly.


    "Well, I admit I don''t understand." Qi Wan County jumped off the railing, clapped her hands, and walked forward. No matter what, she had to stride forward, and she wouldn''t stay where she was because of anything.


    "Listen to your words, senior, and follow your heart." Qing Mo Xue''s voice came from far behind her, along with the wind blowing past her ears.


    It was night. Qi Wanxian sat under the banyan tree with a jug of wine and drank alone. Her face was pale in the cold moonlight. Her tolerance for alcohol was not that good, as she was already slightly drunk. She looked at the moon and giggled. The leaves moved without wind, and she became alert. Even though he was drunk, he had not lost his sanity yet.


    "Why are you here?" When she turned around, she saw a familiar figure. At this moment, her cheeks were slightly red from drinking the wine.


    "I was too bored at home, so I came out for a walk." In fact, someone who had been observing her for a long time said awkwardly while sitting on the wall ¡­


    "So you turned around and rolled in through the wall?" Qi Wanshi''s mouth was a little unclear, but he seemed especially adorable like this.


    "The flowers here are too fragrant, so I followed the scent here." Yu Lingjing told a lie that even she didn''t believe.


    "You''re not at all suited to lying." Qi Dian looked at him with a silly smile, but the words that came out of his mouth were not the slightest bit slurred. Was this person drunk or not?


    "No, you can''t." Yu Ling Jing stretched out her hand and ruffled the hair on her forehead.


    "When did I ever lie?" Qi Lang instinctively took a step back and said to Yu Lingjing, his tongue couldn''t turn around.


    "When you said you didn''t feel anything for me." Yu Ling Jing blinked his eyes, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.


    "Get lost!" Qi Wan County silently said in his heart how handsome he was, but he still cursed in his mouth.


    "Fine, I''ll be leaving. I only need to give you a single glance. I feel that it''s enough." Yu Ling Jing raised an eyebrow, then turned around and walked towards the back.


    "Say, aren''t you so disgusting in front of girls? Aren''t you supposed to be a cold war god? How come I didn''t notice at all?" Qi Wan County faced that slender back and loudly coaxed him. Fortunately, it was already late at night and most of the people in the mansion were asleep. The guards were stunned when they heard this voice, but the deathly silence that followed made them feel as if they were hallucinating.


    "Only to you." Yu Lingjing turned around and smiled back at him, then turned around. With a single step, he flew out of the wall, and from Qi Qitong''s perspective, it seemed as if he was flying towards the moon. Ah, the smile on his face just now caused tonight''s thought to involuntarily appear in his mind. He couldn''t help but smile charmingly.


    At this moment, he was leaning against the white wall of the Zuo Xiang Fu, thinking that he had failed in his act. He was upset, [I did everything I told you to do.] [It is useless even if the words are in the book. It seems like those who wrote the words are just spouting nonsense.] But how could he be so stupid as to believe those things? He raised his head and glanced at the banyan tree in the courtyard. Because it was too lush, it had come out and the moon hung over it coldly.


    On the morning of the second day, Qi Lang County sat on the bed, stretched, and looked around, the carved sandalwood table, and the light blue bedclothes, but her expression suddenly became surprised, she clearly remembered that she seemed to be drunk, and then fell down in the yard, he still remembered his last thought before he got drunk, which was, "Don''t catch a cold." But why was he in her room now? She had told her foster father that she was forbidden from coming here. Did she remember wrongly?


    Meanwhile, Yu Ling Jing, who had slept very well last night, had already left for home. Almost all of the officials in the imperial court had noticed this, and he was in an exceptionally good mood today. Not only was his expression softer than before, he even let the crown prince off when he was fighting with the crown prince. From the back of the house, the officials watched the lithe Regent and felt that too many strange things had happened to Yu Lingjing this year. And they could only endure and ask nothing? Was it because he was about to get married and everyone had a happy occasion?

 C33

    "The peach is like a gem in the sky, shining brilliantly. The son returns home. It is a good place to stay."


    On this day, the streets of the capital were filled with a bustling crowd. This street that used to be filled with grocery stores of all sizes was now filled with people. All of them were smiling as if they were just there to watch a good show. The branches of the trees along the street were all tied up with red ribbons. This, the royal wedding, everyone said this matter is busy, is the current emperor''s favorite emperor, it seems that is not wrong at all.


    It was the season of blooming flowers in the spring. The peach blossoms on that tree were in full bloom. Everything was looking very happy.


    A burst of firecrackers could be heard, and everyone looked towards the corner of the street. The Regent was clad in red and riding on a black horse. Although his face was expressionless, it was much gentler than usual. Looking back, he saw carriages lined up neatly, red silk flying in the air, and the palace maids sprinkling petals all the way. This was the grandest wedding that the imperial family had seen in recent years. No wonder so many citizens wanted to see it.


    Qi Wan County sat in front of the bronze mirror, looking at his own blurry shadow in the mirror. Actually, the distance from Wang''s mansion to the Zuo Mansion was not very far, but because of the custom of the wedding and the fact that they had to cross several streets to get here, they did not have much time. Qi Wanshi picked up the red paper and slightly pursed his lips. She had always been pure beauty and had never used rouge or cosmetic powder. He felt that those things were all troublesome matters. However, the blurry figure in the bronze mirror could be seen by others. It was a very powerful explanation for why all girls liked those things. Suddenly, an elegant figure appeared behind him. Qi Wanxian turned his head and looked. Someone had come.


    "Wanxian, come and comb your hair." The Left Premier''s wife looked at Qi Wan and said gently.


    "Thank you, mother!" Qi Wan County obediently nodded his head. Today, because of their identity, Senior Sister and the rest did not come to the Minister of the Left''s house. He had to say that he actually felt a little disappointed in his heart.


    "This place will also be your mother''s home in the future. If you suffer outside, come back and tell your mother." Madam Zuo could not help but blush as she spoke. Although the child in front of her was not his own son, he had always treated her well. He didn''t have any other daughters, and now ¡­ Thinking of this, he could not help but sigh. If it wasn''t for that incident, he would have been the one to comb his hair... What a bitter child.


    When you comb your hair, you don''t have to worry about wealth. When you comb your hair, you don''t have to worry about disease; when you comb your hair, you have to worry about life; when you comb your hair, you have to support your children; when you comb your hair, you will raise your eyebrows; when you comb your hair, you will be happy and happy; when you comb your hair, you will be happy and happy." The Lady Minister of the Left took a comb that emitted a faint wooden scent and slowly combed through Qi Wanxian''s supple black hair. He spoke slowly and softly. There were tears in his eyes, but there was also a hint of gratification.


    Madam Zuo helped her comb out a high-ranking maid, then she placed the exquisite jewelry onto the table, one by one. Her delicate golden legs swayed slightly on the tip of her hair.


    "Madam, the auspicious hour is approaching." A matchmaker wearing red flowers came out, carrying a plate with a red cap on it. Qi Dian looked at the patterns on the hood and suddenly lost his mind!


    "Aiyo, why isn''t this lady crying? This custom of crying and marrying can be followed." The matchmaker looked at Qi Wan County''s exquisite makeup and felt that this girl was the most beautiful bride she had ever seen. However, he suddenly realized that something was amiss. Was this bride too clean of face? When Qi Wan heard this, he was suddenly stunned. He had never cried in front of someone he didn''t know. Even if it was his senior or his parents, he rarely cried. Letting him cry now, wasn''t this just making things difficult for him?


    "It''s fine. If you can''t cry, then stop." The Left Premier''s wife naturally understood his temperament, so she patted his shoulder.


    "Mother, I ¡­" Although Qi Wan County couldn''t cry, but he knew what this custom meant. If a girl didn''t cry when she marries, it meant that she was unfilial. If he were to marry like this, he would gain a bad reputation.


    "Madam, this ¡­" The matchmaker also used it. This was the first time he had seen something like this. He had met someone before who had pinched the girl and made her cry because she couldn''t cry. It seemed like this large family was truly different.


    "Then that''s it." Madam Zuo raised her head to look at Hong Niang, her gaze sharp. He naturally understood what this meant, so he didn''t want to say it out loud, and he didn''t want to say anything more. He couldn''t care about the amount of water in this big family, so he quickly stopped talking. The matchmaker went over, and the Left Premier''s wife picked up the red cap and covered the Chiru County.


    Suddenly, hundreds of ceremonial cannons bloomed in the air. Although it was daytime, the fragmented multicolored lights still added a lot of color to this spring day.


    He wore a crimson robe with rubies at the lapels. The two sleeves were embroidered with mandarin ducks and pomegranates, and the white crane embroidered at the hem of the dress seemed lifelike from the pace of Qi Wan County. A red ribbon was tied around her waist. Although his face was covered by a red veil, just looking at her body like this gave him the feeling of a peerless beauty. A gust of wind blew by, and the red gauze covering the dress floated up slightly. A gust of wind blew by, and the red muslin covering the dress floated up slightly.


    Actually, they were not as calm as they seemed to be. Qi Wanxian''s hand, which was placed in the matchmaker''s hand, trembled slightly while his other hand, which was hidden in his sleeve, clenched into a fist. She felt her nose go sour, and she bit her lips. Swallowing the sobs that were about to come out. He thought he wouldn''t cry, but when his foot, at the direction of the matchmaker, lifted up to praise the brazier, her heart suddenly clenched. Was he going to marry like this?


    "I''ll leave my daughter to you." Madam Zuo and the Minister of the Left watched the red-clothed Yu Ling Jing from the entrance, surprise flashing across their eyes. The Minister of the Left smiled as he instructed Yu Ling Jing.


    "Father-in-law, mother and father, please rest assured that I will definitely take good care of her." Yu Ling Jing looked at the Minister of the Left and nodded slightly. He turned his head to look at Qi Shu County at the side. He didn''t know what kind of expression she had under her head. However, she must be extremely beautiful today.


    "Alright, alright, alright. I hope you can keep your word." Zuo Xiang stroked his beard and said with a smile. But at the same time, he was well aware that once he entered the marquis'' house, his status would be as deep as the seas. Who knew what would happen in the future? But she could only bless the marriage of his adopted daughter.


    Qi Wanli sat on the bridal sedan, and he truly felt extremely uncomfortable. His eyes were red in front of him. She felt the palanquin shaking, causing her to feel extremely uncomfortable. He especially didn''t like the feeling of being hidden from her eyes. She could only rely on her ears to distinguish how many people were around her. It seemed that the people of the capital all thought highly of this Regent. There were quite a few people here to watch the commotion. Qi Wan County slowly let his imagination run wild. He slightly twisted his neck. The jewelry worn on its head was already very heavy, yet there was still a layer of such a thick red cover. He felt that was enough. Why not take a thin layer of muslin? Although he never believed that, for some reason, he still chose to listen to her words, for some reason ¡­ Qi Wanli twisted his body in a very unsteady manner while he silently complained in his heart. He hadn''t thought that getting married would be troublesome, but would he have to marry this kind of person in his entire life? Of course, this was not to say that she had especially deep feelings for that future husband of hers. It was just that he felt that he wouldn''t like anyone, and furthermore, he felt that he wouldn''t have the chance to meet the person he liked again.


    When Qi Wan County thought of this, he felt slightly helpless in his heart. But he was helpless in his heart. He wanted revenge as well.


    Yu Lingjing sat on his horse. Although he hated this slow pace, but he couldn''t ride his horse in this kind of situation. And for his sake, what could he do? A gust of wind blew, and the petals on the peach tree fell down, drawing beautiful arcs in the air, just like the two thin pink clouds on her face when she blushed. But what did it look like when he blushed? Yu Lingjing shook his head. Why did he seem like a kid now? He always liked to think about strange things.


    The wind was getting stronger and stronger, blowing the curtains of the bridal sedan. Qi Wanjun suddenly felt a bit hungry. He used his hand to touch the side, and sure enough, he felt something that was like a plate. I think it''s a osmanthus cake? Yu Ling Jing slowed down as he rode beside the bridal sedan. As the wind blew past, he could vaguely see through the corner of the curtain that someone was sneakily stuffing something under the hood of the sedan chair. He knew that he would be hungry, so he specially set aside the osmanthus cake that he liked.


    The capital was located to the south and the weather was warmer than other places. The peach blossoms here are especially early for blooming and early for blooming. As the wind grew stronger, more and more petals fell and the sunlight became brighter and brighter. When he raised his head, he could even vaguely make out the rainbow-colored halo in the sunlight. The faint pink light mixed with the bright red silk. Everything exuded a joyous smell, and even the air was filled with a sweet scent. Everything was so beautiful, but beauty was only temporary. What should come would eventually come.

 C34

    The palanquin suddenly stopped. Qi Lan quickly clapped her hands and sat upright. He said that he didn''t want anyone to see her like this right from the start. Someone quickly left and took her hand, slowly leading him off the bridal sedan. He didn''t take off the hand that was holding him, but in his heart, he was muttering to himself, why did he feel that there was a thin layer of cocoon on her hand? Although he felt that it was a weird thing for a lady to have a layer of cocoon on her hand, he didn''t think too much about it. Qi Wanxian seemed to feel that the person holding her hand was uncomfortable, so he silently withdrew his hand. It couldn''t be that he didn''t slap it clean, right? Otherwise, a piece of red silk would have been stuffed into his hand. He could feel that someone was holding the other end of the silk as well. Leaning against the silk, he was slowly led forward. He crossed the threshold and arrived at the lobby. Qi Wan County had never been to Yu Ling Jing''s house before, so he really wanted to see what this house looked like. After all, from today onwards, he would stay here for a very long time, standing there like a fool.


    "I bow to the heavens and the earth." The host''s voice rang out, and Qi Shu bent down. The emperor sat on the throne, looking at the two of them with eyes full of satisfaction. Actually, many people didn''t understand the marriage bestowed by the Emperor. This prince not only gained prestige at the border, but now even married the Minister of the Left''s daughter to him. Wasn''t this just helping him increase his power? Who could guess what was going on in his head?


    "Second bow to the hall." The face of Qi Wan County under the hood was silently twitching. What kind of crime was this! Yu Lingjing cast a sidelong glance at the bright red figure, the corner of his mouth curving slightly.


    "Husband and wife bow to each other." The moment she lowered her head, she saw the pair of black shoes and her body trembled.


    "Send him to the bridal room." Qi Wanjun felt like he was a puppet that was being controlled. He could only listen to the orders of others to do things, and he really hated this feeling. However, at this moment, the Regent, who always had a sense of hegemony, actually had a very enjoyable feeling in his heart.


    Qi Wanshi sat on the bed, not knowing where to put his hands. He could only put his hands on his knees in an extremely orderly manner. Not a sound. Yu Ling Jing stood in front of her, stretching out her long, slender arms. Just as she was about to lift the red veil, the door opened with a clatter.


    "How can we miss our wedding night?" The shadow of the officials had been restrained today. They were not wearing the same color as the groom. Instead, they were wearing a blue robe, which made them look a lot warmer.


    "I''ll bring them with me today. My two brothers will make a ruckus for you." A big smile hung on the face of the official, as two delicate and pretty students flashed out from the side with a wave of her hand. Yu Lingjing stared blankly for a moment before taking a closer look. It turned out to be ¡­


    "Junior Sister, happy newlyweds!" Qing Mo Xue loudly shouted at Qi Hui County who was sitting on the bed. She didn''t look like her usual calm self at all.


    "Don''t lift your head." Yu Ling Jing''s sharp eyes detected that Qi Wan County was about to shake his head. He hastily replied coldly.


    "Junior Sister, you should hurry and bring it with you." Qing Mo Xue also felt that her shout was a bit inappropriate.


    "Why do you care so much?" Qi Wanjun acted as if he didn''t hear it at all, and he lifted his head, thinking that his senior sister wouldn''t come. Yu Ling Jing looked at Qi Shu County, and his eyes flashed a bit of surprise, but it was quickly replaced by displeasure. Qi Wan County and the others naturally sensed the low pressure that came from someone. But no one cared.


    "Don''t talk nonsense anymore. Quickly, let''s drink a cup of wine." The official continued to jeer. Naturally, Yu Ling Jing didn''t have any good friends. His military brothers, as well as the court officials, all loved their identities, so they wouldn''t make a ruckus. He had wanted to save himself some trouble, but he hadn''t thought that this unrestrained government official would be so busy.


    "This exchange of wine is not done in front of outsiders." Yu Lingjing said dryly.


    "Are we outsiders?" The shadow of the official rolled his eyes. If he didn''t think highly of Yu Ling Jing, no one would dare to make a ruckus even if he was married.


    "Of course." Yu Lingjing answered directly without any intention of leaving any face for unscrupulous officials.


    It really is ¡­" If I tell you to drink it, then drink it ¡­ "Be careful, no one will drink with you if we''re not here yet." "The official didn''t spare anyone with his words and spoke without any hesitation. Hearing this, Yu Ling Jing''s body became colder and colder.


    "All of you, leave!" Yu Ling Jing coldly looked at the few of them, but Guan Lu Ying remained indifferent. Qing Mo Xue and Ruan Qing Yan, these two women dressed as men''s clothes, could only helplessly wave their hands towards Qi Shu County. It seemed that her brother-in-law was quite domineering. Actually, they did not want to make a ruckus, but they could not stand the pressure from the officials. Moreover, they could not afford to miss the wedding of their own sisters. Even in this strange way. Better than not.


    "Alright, alright, let''s go, we won''t disturb the two of you. "But I''ve got to throw the peanuts at them!" It was unknown when the official took out two bamboo baskets filled to the brim with peanuts and basil.


    "Where are the mothers-in-law?" Although Qi Wan County didn''t understand these things very well, he still knew that there were some things that were needed. Those old women had placed them on the table, but why was it him now ¡­


    "Did we chase them away?" The official shrugged his shoulders and made a booing gesture ¡­ Qi Wan County immediately felt the sky rumbling with thunder ¡­


    After placing the dishes on the table, Peanut and Gui Yuan tactfully left.


    "¡­" The room was once again plunged into an awkward atmosphere. He didn''t know when Qi Wan had put the hood back on ¡­ Yu Ling Jing looked at Qi Hui County, whose hair was covered, with eyes as gentle as water. But he didn''t know it, and neither did the people who were being watched. He slowly lifted the top of her head. He hadn''t taken a good look at her earlier, but just that one flick had made him unable to forget her appearance for the rest of his life.


    "That ¡­" Qi Wan County was extremely uneasy as he stammered.


    "Let''s have a drink!" for a good omen. " Yu Lingjing indifferently said, completely ignoring him.


    "Alright." Contrary to Yu Ling Jing''s expectations, Qi Shu agreed. The warm candlelight flickered slightly. With both hands intertwined, it seemed as if once one drank this cup of wine, they would be able to coexist for a hundred years. But no matter how nice a vow was, it would be unreliable, not to mention these customs. A teardrop slid down her face without a sound.


    "Shouldn''t you undress me?" After putting down the wine cup, Yu Ling Jing stood up, and opened his arms wide as he looked at Qi Wan County. The smile on his face was really unsuitable.


    "Sleep on the floor." Qi Dian rolled his eyes. After being silent for a long time, he finally opened his mouth and spoke.


    "Although it''s spring now, the weather is still cold. Are you willing to let me sleep on the ground?" When Yu Lingjing heard this, he was slightly surprised. He had thought that Qi Wanli''s actions just now were because she had accepted him. He hadn''t thought that ¡­


    "You won''t get cold so easily." He knew that his own request was particularly weak, but he really couldn''t accept it. He slept in the same bed with someone he didn''t really care about.


    "If... "What if ¡­" Yu Lingjing didn''t know what to say, but his gaze suddenly drifted to the bed. He looked at the snow-white handkerchief and felt a little nervous.


    "But that handkerchief needs to be shown to the old nanny."


    "What handkerchief?" Yu Wanjun slightly creased his brows. When Yu Lingjing saw her like this, her face was like peach blossoms, her skin was creamy, and her eyebrows were like daidai. Her red lips moved with endless grace. Yu Ling Jing pointed at the bed, and Qi Lan suddenly understood. This handkerchief ¡­ However, to prove her virginity ¡­


    "But ¡­" We don''t have any feelings for each other? " Qi Ning''s face suddenly turned red. Yu Lingjing looked at this apple-like person and really wanted to give him a bite. But he had to be calm.


    "I won''t force you, but ¡­" Yu Ling Jing acted as if he understood everything.


    "Then let''s sleep together. But you must not do anything, or else I''ll cripple you." The county fell silent again, and at last she gave in. Nodding his head.


    "Sure, I will." Yu Lingjing suddenly felt like he had succeeded in his evil scheme. He felt like a big bad wolf was bullying a simple little white rabbit.


    "Can you go over a little?" Qi Lang County pulled at the red bedding. Actually, at this moment, she really wanted to kick him.


    "No." Yu Lingjing didn''t even look at him.


    "Alright then." Qi Wan County leaned against the wall.


    "Yu Ling Jing... I always thought I wouldn''t marry you. " After a long time, Qi Wan suddenly opened his mouth, Yu Ling Jing''s heart jumped.


    "Don''t say that on this wedding night, and you should change your mind." Yu Ling Jing laid there motionless, like a block of ice. He said it coldly.


    "There''s no one here who doesn''t need it." Qi Wanjun''s ears turned red again, but he didn''t admit defeat.


    "Alright, then remember to change your words when you wake up tomorrow morning." Yu Lingjing shook his head. No more talking.


    Qi Wan County finally heard the sound of steady breathing beside him. His heart gradually relaxed as well. He stared blankly at the candle flame outside the pink screen. Unknowingly, he had fallen into a deep slumber.


    Yu Lingjing rolled over and looked at Qi Wanxian''s somewhat tired face. He had to admit that her makeup today was exceptionally beautiful, but he liked his current appearance more. It was real without any modifications. But it wasn''t as touching. He reached out his hand and gently stroked the hair on the front of Qi and Tong''s forehead ¡­ Qi Wanshi''s mouth pouted. Yu Lingjing''s hand stopped, but after a while, Qi Lang County also didn''t do anything else. She was really cute like this, just like a docile little wild cat.


    As the moonlight entered the house, Yu Ling Jing gently reached out his arms to embrace Qi Wanli.

 C35

    The first rays of the morning sun shone through the carved windows on the burned-out candlesticks. He reached out with his other hand and used the blade to make a small cut on the surface of the sandalwood table. He clenched his hand into a fist and let the bright red blood drip onto the snow-white handkerchief on the sandalwood table. He picked up another piece of cloth and wiped off the blood from his hand. Then, he turned his head to look at Qi Lun, who was still sleeping. After dressing himself, he pushed open the door and walked out. May the magpies on your peach tree sing.


    Qi Wan County rubbed his eyes, then slowly opened them. He looked around and saw that the pink gauze covering the carved bed was tied with a fine gold hook. The scattered items on the table had already been cleaned up by someone. He even put a jade bottle filled with peach blossoms ¡­ The crystal clear cyan color combined with the pink color gave off a unique flavor. Looking at the blue and white porcelain on the ancient shelf, it seemed that someone was particularly fond of such elegant things. In the corner of the room, there were two swords. The scabbard had golden patterns on it. If one looked closely, one would see that the two swords seemed to be flying at the same time. Qi Dian felt that these two were both particularly interesting. Just like that, he looked around and observed that the royal family was indeed different.


    "Princess, get up and change your clothes." Suddenly, a servant girl pushed open the door with one hand holding a tray. Qi Wan County pulled the silk blanket in his hand. Ever since he was young, he didn''t like leaving servants by his side, so many things were taken care of by himself. Now that there was suddenly one appearing in its house, it could not help but feel a little uncomfortable.


    "Where''s the prince?" Qi Wanxian suddenly realized that there seemed to be someone missing beside him. Logically speaking, this was the first time she had told a boy that his heart should be extremely unsettled. But last night, she felt that there was a feeling of warmth and security around her that made him feel especially warm. Of course, if he had known that someone had carried him to bed last night, he would not have thought this way.


    "Your Highness? Your highness went to attend the morning assembly? " This maid''s name was Liu Qi. Right now, he felt that Esteemed wangfei really was quite adorable after marrying her.


    "Oh, it looks like this." Qi Lang nodded, then looked at Liu Qi with wide eyes. Liu Qi lowered her head, not daring to look him in the eye.


    "Then let me sleep a little longer?" She felt that she was sleeping too comfortably here. He felt that it was probably because the bedding on the bed was too comfortable, and he still wanted to sleep for a while ¡­ Last night was arguably the most peaceful night he had slept in.


    "Esteemed wangfei, you have to go to the palace to serve tea to the empress?" Liu Qi was a bit surprised when she heard this. How come this wangfei didn''t understand anything? I hope he won''t be bullied in the future.


    "Eh. "Fine." Qi Dian heard this and was slightly surprised, unexpectedly still wanted to go to the Imperial Palace.


    "Then this servant will help you change wangfei''s clothes." Liu Qi looked at his master''s expression and felt a bit helpless.


    "No need, I''ll do it myself." Qi Wanshi quickly shook his head. He didn''t want anyone else to touch her at all.


    "But ¡­" Liu Qi paused.


    "Just listen to me." Qi Wanli coldly looked at him, and an invisible pressure pressed down on Liu Qi. Her body trembled for a moment. Then, she placed the wooden tray on the table and slowly retreated. She waited outside the door quietly. After about ten minutes or so, Qi''er County opened the door. Liu Qi looked at Qi Wan County, and a trace of joy flashed through her eyes. Qi Wanxian was wearing a pink skirt, and her breasts were embroidered with gold threads to make complicated peach blossoms. The hem of her skirt had become a lot simpler, and the white snowy brocade on the inside had grown a bit, causing Qi Wan County to look simply unfathomably beautiful. But very quickly, this little servant girl could only frown. This lady told him not to help, but his hair was still covered.


    "That wangfei, your hair ¡­" Liu Qi stammered, afraid that she had said something wrong. Qi Wanjun glanced at her, and this little girl who had passed through the autumn in front of him helplessly waved her hand.


    "Isn''t that good?" Most of the time, she would randomly use a hairpin for one night, but he had forgotten that he had not flipped it for a long time. The poems he liked were all incomparably gorgeous, and she felt that they really didn''t suit her.


    "No, no, no, that''s not good at all." Liu Qi anxiously shook her head.


    "Isn''t it beautiful enough?" Qi Dian blinked his eyes at this cute little servant girl, and a charming smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.


    "Of course she''s beautiful. Princess is simply as beautiful as a fairy, but she''s going to enter the palace soon. It''s so unofficial, is it really okay?" You still need me to comb your hair. " Liu Qi felt that the entire world had become brilliant. Why, she was so beautiful! He suddenly felt that it was a very disappointing thing that he had never gone to the private school, because when he saw such a beautiful woman, he actually did not know what words to use to describe him.


    "Esteemed Empress, please have some tea." Qi Wanshi knelt in the center of the Tang Dynasty with a calm and indifferent voice.


    "Good, good, good." When the empress saw him like this, she suddenly felt that he and Yu Lingjing were extremely compatible, with the same tone.


    "You can be considered my sister-in-law from now on." There are some words, and I am not out of it. Now that you''ve married into the palace, you have to know all its rules. "I know that you are the foster daughter of the Minister of the Left, but you definitely haven''t learned anything worthy of learning, so if I am to teach you in the future, you must listen more carefully." The empress slowly received the tea, but didn''t drink it. She held it in her hand and looked at Qi Lun who was kneeling on the ground. He was the mother of the crown prince, so when it came to matters between the crown prince and the regent, she naturally stood on his side. It was only natural that she would make things difficult for this wangfei. His words were laced with sarcasm, insinuating that the upbringing of Qi and Wan was not as good as that of the palace.


    Thank you, my imperial concubine, for your teachings. Esteemed Empress, you must take care of your daily affairs. In the future, chenqie will be less troubled." How could Qi Wanli not understand the meaning behind her words? He actually wanted to beat around the bush, he couldn''t be vague about it. Don''t worry, as long as you don''t provoke me, I won''t come looking for you. After all, he was only married to the prince, not someone who lived in the palace. Yu Lingjing''s mansion had long since been moved out.


    "I hope so." The Queen sat on a high seat as she looked down at Qi Wan County in a condescending manner. A smile hung from the corners of her mouth, but disdain could be seen from her eyes, as if it was nothing more than common knowledge.


    "The prince has arrived." The eunuch''s shrill voice came from outside.


    "Aiyo, this little brother, why are you here?" "Could it be that he knew that his royal sister was going to serve me tea today and rushed over here all of a sudden? The two of you are truly close!" The empress looked at Yu Lingjing''s slender figure with a fake smile. Qi Wanqian, this kind of person not selling this empress chat was on purpose, right? Why did he pretend to have forgotten about him and not let him get up? His legs were already hurting from kneeling.


    "My royal sister-in-law is really considerate." Yu Lingjing looked at his own mischievous sister-in-law. Very soon, a palace maid brought over a chair for him to sit on. However, the Queen still didn''t let Qi Wanshi, who was kneeling on the ground, stand up. Yu Lingjing frowned as he looked at the pink figure kneeling on the ground. It had to be said that he was very pretty today. He put on makeup, but it wasn''t the same heavy makeup as the empress. It was light and suited her perfectly. Qi Dian had just received the gaze from that person on his body, and uncomfortably moved.


    "That''s right. This royal sister, stand up as well. I forgot about it." A smile appeared on the empress''s face. Qi Xiao County inwardly rolled her eyes, and then she slowly stood up and sat beside Yu Ling Jing. Was this guy really not afraid of his mouth cramping?


    "Muhou." Suddenly, a slightly feminine voice sounded.


    "Feng Er, why have you come?" The empress finally revealed her truest expression today. And when Qi Wanxian heard this voice, the hatred in his heart started to surge again. She clenched her fists and wished she could climb the mountain now, but he knew he couldn''t.


    Yesterday, the bride was wearing a veil. I didn''t even see her, so of course I came today to take a good look at my aunt." Imperial Winds smiled gently. When Qi Wan County heard this, he became more and more agitated. At this moment, a hand tightly held his hand, which was on the table. Qi Wanjun was stupefied for a moment, and he felt that he had suddenly calmed down quite a bit. He did not know why Yu Ling Jing always seemed to have that kind of magic that allowed him to calm down.


    "Don''t say that Uncle Wang was really lucky to have married such a beautiful imperial aunt." Yu Hanfeng looked at Qi Lun''s carefree expression with a little pride.


    "This is a wedding bestowed by the Emperor. It''s also a blessing bestowed by the Emperor." An old nanny standing behind Yu Lingjing suddenly spoke up.


    "This old nanny really knows how to talk. I''m rewarded." The empress''s mood lightened when she heard this.


    "Thank you, esteemed empress." The old wet nurse was overjoyed and quickly bowed.


    "Sister-in-law definitely doesn''t understand the rules of the palace, right? The one the emperor loves the most is your prince." You want to add fuel to the fire for the royal family? Everyone says that mother is very expensive, just like how I have my Feng''er''s status. It''s just different. " The empress began again, his hypocritical ways looking at the two of them with a smile that didn''t reach his eyes. On the surface, she was saying that she had earned her position, but in reality, she was warning him that if he didn''t have a son, then he would wait for her to ascend to the next rank.


    "I''ll trouble the empress for that." Yu Ling Jing was holding Qi Wan County tightly. The empress naturally noticed their petty tricks. His heart sank again.


    "Then, sister-in-law, it''s not early anymore. We still have to return to our parents'' home tomorrow, so we have to go home and prepare. Please allow us to leave first." Yu Ling Jing said with a cold expression.


    "This Regent ¡­" The Crown Prince clenched his fists angrily.

 C36

    Yu Ling Jing held onto Qi Wan County''s hand, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his palm. Although Qi Wan felt a little at ease with him holding her hand, but he knew that holding her like this had other meanings. It was like silently announcing to everyone in the palace that this person was under his protection, so no one could bully her. As the two of them had woken up early in the morning, it was not too late. The sun hung on the right side of the sky blue curtain, emitting a warm glow.


    "Thank you." At that time, if it wasn''t for her tightly gripping his fist, he probably would have already lost his mind, and the consequences would have been unthinkable. After leaving his apprenticeship, he would have died first, but this was not what he wanted.


    "No need." Yu Lingjing''s lips curved into a faint smile. After he finished this sentence, the two of them started talking again. There was a long period of silence between them, but they didn''t feel that this silence was awkward anymore. They were already used to this kind of interaction.


    "Then you must be hungry." He remembered that he hadn''t woken up yet, so he definitely didn''t have time to eat.


    "Nope." In fact, it had been feeling hungry from the start. In the small cabinet, there were only two things on its mind. Firstly, why did this queen want to target him for no reason, and secondly, why did it have to get up so early without food? Now that the face-smacking matter had come, his stomach sounded as soon as he said that. She suddenly felt that the atmosphere had become strange, and his ears were starting to turn red again.


    "Still saying that you didn''t come so early? I''m sure you haven''t had breakfast. Let''s hurry up and go home." Yu Ling Jing smiled and looked at Qi Wan County. Qi Wan County raised his head and looked at Yu Ling Jing. He stood there facing the light, and within his long and narrow almond-shaped eyes were countless stars, as if they had all fallen into his heart at this moment.


    "Alright." Qi Wanjun suddenly became especially obedient and nodded his head. He realized that his feelings for him were slowly changing. Uncontrollable, unpredictable.


    "Then tomorrow we''re going back to visit our family and prepare something, right?" They sat together on the carriage. This time, Qi Dian County was the first to break the silence.


    "Of course, I will arrange everything. You just need to leave when the time comes." Yu Lingjing had regained her composure as an icy expression on her face.


    "Yeah, sorry to trouble you." Qi Wan nodded politely.


    "You''re my wife, aren''t you?" Yu Ling Jing''s face was expressionless, but he spoke words of love. Qi Wanshi felt that it was a bit strange. Why would someone use such an expression to say such sweet words?


    "In name only." Qi Wan County said coldly. Actually, in their eyes, dealing with intelligent people was very simple, but in the eyes of outsiders, it was very complicated.


    "That''s what you think." Yu Lingjing said lightly. It was as if what he said had nothing to do with him.


    "Forget it." Qi Dian felt the carriage stop and hurriedly got up, wanting to leave this narrow space as soon as possible. After getting off the car, he started to carefully size up this Wang Mansion. Four mahogany pillars stood against the eaves. The corners of the eaves were tilted as if they were about to fly into the sky. There was a large gold plaque with black wood inlaid on it. On it, written in bold and forceful characters, was the words "Regent''s Estate". The two of them walked into the manor together. Unlike the simple and unadorned outside, the sparse marbles could be seen everywhere in this dynasty. The small path to enter the sect was even more extravagantly made of white jade. The two sides, however, were quite surprised as they planted blue bamboo. Okay, wave after wave, I don''t know where the sound of the moon''s water came from.


    "Your servant greets Your Highness." Suddenly, a red figure appeared in front of the two of them. Qi Dian couldn''t help but start to size him up. His figure was not bad, and his face was pretty good. Judging from his bearing, he was not a simple person. He had martial arts, but it was normal, and the appraisal was complete.


    "Well, have you finished with what I told you?" Yu Ling Jing nodded, but Qi Wan County felt the ice on her face loosen a little.


    "Prince, don''t worry. You won''t believe me when I do things?" The woman charmingly smiled at Yu Lingjing. Qi Wanxian felt goosebumps rising all over her body, but the aesthetic standards of men and women were always different.


    "Of course I trust you." Yu Lingjing raised his eyebrows. From his tone, one could tell that he was in quite a good mood.


    "Then, Prince, come with me to the study to take a look at those ¡­" The girl didn''t say anything after speaking half a sentence. She indifferently glanced at Qi Wanli, who was standing at the side. Qi Wanjun suddenly felt that he was just an extra.


    "Why don''t you go and rest for a while? We''ll have our meal together later?" Yu Ling Jing turned around and looked at Qi Lun County as he spoke softly.


    "It''s nothing, you''re busy." Qi Dian said, but he had no intention of leaving. Yu Ling Jing and that girl walked side by side, and after a few steps, that girl also turned around to look at Qi Wan County with an unknown meaning.


    "Who was that person?" Qi Wan County was particularly displeased by the girl''s gaze. He said to the air, "Okay, actually, it''s to the Liu Qi who had been acting as the invisible person beside him."


    "That person just now, she has always been living in the Prince''s Mansion as a guest, but no one knows of his existence. Only the servants in the mansion know of his existence, but I feel ¡­" Liu Qi was actually only 13 or 14 years old. Her mind was actually quite simple, and when she spoke, she didn''t have any sense of direction.


    "What do you think? "Just say it ¡­" Qi Wanjun felt as if he had caught a hint of gossip.


    "It''s better if this servant doesn''t say anything." Liu Qi shook her head, then lowered it again.


    "Why didn''t you listen to me from the beginning?" Qi Wan County intentionally pretended to be angry. He knew that this little girl was especially timid, and would be easily scared.


    "Your servant knows her wrongs. Your servant spoke too much." Liu Qi felt like she was about to cry.


    "Just say it." Qi Wanli''s voice was especially cold.


    "I feel that he is the prince''s confidante."


    "Mm, a soulmate?" When Qi Wan heard this, his first reaction was that it was extremely funny. A person like him actually had a close female friend, but gradually, he felt a kind of sour feeling in his heart.


    "Yeah, a woman doesn''t have much ability, how can she possibly think so highly of him like the prince?" Liu Qi was suddenly strangely shocked and opened her chatterbox, but when he finished speaking and found that he was wrong, she suddenly really wanted to slap herself in the face.


    "That''s where you''re wrong. I know a lot of girls, I don''t want to be stronger than boys ¡­" Qi Wan County raised his eyebrows and said with a smile.


    "Really? That''s great!" I want to be that kind of girl too. " Liu Qi instantly became like a star, and that was only in the mind of a child.


    "You can do it!" His eyes were like the night sky, the bright moon.


    "I''m nothing." Liu Qi suddenly felt a bit bitter in his heart. What sort of abilities did a young maid have?


    "No matter what, I think you''re pretty cute. You''ve combed your hair pretty well." Qi Wanjun felt that this kind of person should be the type that he should have when he was young.


    "Hehe, what is this? I''ll comb a more beautiful one for the princess tomorrow. " Liu Qi''s mood immediately became good.


    "Sure." Qi Wanshi nodded.


    "Is the county back? "Is this prince being nice to you?" The Left Premier''s wife stood at the doorway early in the morning, waiting for Qi Wan County, while the aloof Lord Left Premier pretended to be calm and collected. This way, but in reality, he had been sitting in the hall since early in the morning, and when he heard this sound, he couldn''t help but stretch his neck and stare outside.


    "Very good!" Qi Wanshi smiled.


    "That''s good. I was worried, but I felt that you had a better complexion. Just one day was enough." The Left Premier''s wife took her hand and winked at him. Seeing the expression on his mother''s face, an especially strange question suddenly appeared in his mind. That handkerchief from the night of the wedding, how did he solve it ¡­ When Qi Wanjun thought of this, his face became red, and the Left Premier''s wife looked at him with great satisfaction.


    "I''ll stay here tonight." After the meal, the Left Premier''s wife looked at Qi Wanxian with a smile.


    "Mm, no need. Actually, these two houses aren''t too far apart. I can come back anytime if I want to." The first thing that came to her mind when she heard this was that if she were to sleep here, she would have to live in the same room as him.


    "What do you mean? "Although the two families aren''t too far apart, if you marry off and still keep running back to your parents'' home, that would be outrageous." The Left Premier''s wife shook her head and said with a smile.


    "Fine." Although Qi Wanli County was somewhat helpless, he had no way of continuing to refuse.


    "Um, this bed seems a little too small." Qi Wan County shrank back, his voice sounding as if it had been squeezed out of his throat.


    "I think so." Yu Ling Jing remained impassive as he spoke. Did Qi Wanxian suddenly think that he would not be paralyzed by talking like this? He glanced at Yu Ling Jing. Well, he was paralyzed.


    "Can I hold you?" After a long period of silence, a deep male voice sounded in the room.


    "No." When Qi Wanjun heard this voice, his body visibly stiffened. Yu Ling Jing Qi Wan County originally wanted to directly ignore him, but unknowingly, they still turned their heads to look at him. She blinked her single eyes now, and her eyes looked pitiful. Qi Dian felt that his view of the world was about to collapse, but what he said next made him feel like the world was about to collapse.


    "Alright! I''ll let you hug me for a while. "


    "Yes." Yu Ling Jing suppressed the joy in his heart, and lightly nodded his head.


    His gaze was gentle as he looked at the top of Qi Shu County''s head. He did not move for a long time, and when he looked at the person in his arms again, he did not know when he had fallen asleep.

 C37

    Qi Wan County and the Left Premier''s wife were standing in front of the gate to the House of Zuo. A carriage was parked in front of them, and the curtain covering the carriage was slightly moving. The bright red color was still a symbol of celebration.


    "Mom, we''ll be going back first." Qi Lang let his hand be held by the Left Premier''s wife, and spoke in a low voice. Moreover, in front of the Left Premier''s wife, he still looked like a special daughter.


    "A daughter that''s about to be married off. Like spilled water, she''s in such a hurry to return to her own world." Madam Zuo smiled, but her eyes were full of reluctance. The Left Premier''s wife naturally knew that Qi Shu County wouldn''t marry him just because he wanted to get the imperial edict. More importantly, he wanted revenge. Madam Zuo was a lady who was raised in a house with no one in her family. She didn''t know how to deal with this kind of thing. He could only hope that his daughter would be able to properly protect him while taking revenge. He also hoped that after marrying her, she would receive enough protection.


    "Mom, you said that. These two families are actually just one street away from each other. You''re saying that I won''t come back in the future? " Qi Wan County smiled helplessly.


    "Sigh." The Left Premier''s wife sighed. She didn''t know what to say to stop his plan. He did not know if he was truly happy. Although the two of them acted like a loving couple in front of him, but the more they acted like this, the weirder he felt it was. They were clearly relatives! But there are some things it''s better not to say.


    "Take good care of yourself as well." Qi Wanxian took out his hand and patted it on the Madame Minister of the Left''s hand. Why did he seem like an elder now?


    "You don''t need to worry about me, but you, ah, this palace is different. You still have to be more careful." The Left Prime Minister''s wife revealed a gentle smile on her face. Her voice was soft and gentle, and bit by bit, it smashed into Qi Wanjun''s heart ¡­


    "Mom, I know." When Qi Wanli heard this, she naturally understood the hidden meaning behind his words. He felt that he was actually a bit unfilial. Although he wasn''t his biological parents, the Minister of the Left''s family had always treated her as their own ¡­


    "Then you can go. It would be great if you could give me a big fat kid one day." The Left Prime Minister''s wife laughed. When Qi Shu heard this, her face instantly turned red. If she knew that she hadn''t consummated the marriage with him ¡­ He would probably frown at himself again and say, Worry or something.


    "¡­" The atmosphere instantly turned awkward.


    "You''re already married! What''s there to be embarrassed about!" The Left Premier''s wife shook her head. She had wanted to ease the atmosphere, but she didn''t expect ¡­


    "Nothing." Qi Wanshi replied with an irrelevant answer. His mind had long drifted off to who knew where. At that moment, the Minister of the Left and Yu Lingjing walked out from the door. What did the two of them say inside? He only saw Yu Lingjing walk out with a serious look.


    Yu Ling Jing and Qi Wan County sat in the carriage in silence, but you didn''t say anything. The two families weren''t far from each other, otherwise Qi Wan County would have thought that they were going to suffocate to death. Of course, this was not to say that he would suffocate to death if he did not speak. He truly felt that the atmosphere inside was extremely depressing.


    Qi Lang jumped down from the carriage and looked at the gold-inlaid signboard of the Prince''s Mansion. Then, he slipped away like a wisp of smoke. He did not care what the people around him thought of him after entering the store. Yu Ling Jing looked at his retreating back and found it funny. As soon as they entered the door, a red figure ran in front of them. Qi Wanjun was stunned. ''This girl can be considered good, right?''


    "Prince, you''re finally back. I have something to talk to you about." The woman in red spoke in a delicate tone, not at all affected by what she was saying. However, he didn''t know why Qi Wan County didn''t like him and felt very awkward. It had to be said that a woman''s intuition was especially accurate.


    "You can leave for now. I have to stay with Madam." Yu Lingjing waved his hand and said coldly. The woman smiled, squatted down, and turned away. There was no hint of unhappiness on her face, but God knew what he was thinking.


    "I don''t need you. You should go and accompany that soulmate of yours." Seeing the red figure walking further and further away, a coquettish smile emerged from the corner of Qi and Xiao County''s mouth. He didn''t lie at all. He didn''t know why, but as long as he stood by his side, he would feel especially uncomfortable and a little nervous. He would feel like he didn''t even know where to put his hands.


    "Who told you she was my soulmate?" Yu Ling Jing''s point was completely different from someone''s. Qi Wan County emphasized that he didn''t care, but what he emphasized was a close female friend. What was a close female friend?


    "Why did you react like that? I was just saying that." When Yu Lingjing heard Qi Wan County''s words, he immediately felt that it was a bit difficult for the two of them to communicate, their main focus was not on the same point.


    "These jokes are not just for show." He continued to put on an extremely cold expression. Just now, he had rejected Hong Kou because he wanted to accompany Qi Lun properly.


    "You''re so bored." Qi Wanli lightly said. Sure enough, it was impossible to joke with her. She took it seriously.


    "It''s a little boring." Yu Lingjing''s expression did not change.


    "Talking to you is a pain." Qi Wanjun felt his entire body become powerless.


    "Then don''t say it." When Yu Lingjing said this, Qi''er felt like her lungs were about to explode. Moreover, his following actions caused Qi Dian to be at a complete loss. Yu Ling Jing walked step by step towards Qi Shu County, and then he touched her hair, and then turned around and left ¡­ Someone stood on the spot with an adorable look on his face.


    This was Liu Qi who had appeared out of nowhere, and said gloomily behind Qi Wan''s voice.


    "I say, wangfei, how can you speak to the prince like that?"


    Qi Wan County felt gloomy when they heard this voice. At first, he was shocked, but he quickly reacted. Why does this kid always come out of the blue to scare people?


    "His attitude is just like that towards me. Why should I have a good relationship with him?" Qi Wan County indifferently said, his eyes didn''t show any emotion.


    "But just now, for your sake, he refused that soulmate of his!" He felt that this wangfei didn''t care about the prince at all, but this wasn''t normal. The prince was handsome, he had talent, he was powerful in war, he had status, and so on. They were all great, how could any girl not like him? He must be overthinking things. This wangfei must be pretending not to care about the prince.


    "Go, you just don''t want to deal with her and use me as a shield." Qi Wanjun felt that he was just simply speaking out his true thoughts. However, his words didn''t seem to mean that in other people''s ears.


    "Oh, wangfei, you''re wrong to think like that. But before this, that Hong Kou said that any prince would agree to his request." When Liu Qi heard this, she felt that her idea just now had been verified. Didn''t you see that this wangfei immediately said something sour?


    "His name isn''t bad, but why does the prince treat him so well?" When Qi Wan heard Liu Qi''s words, she also had a little bit of interest, but if it was someone else''s, then this sort of thing, he wouldn''t ask about it at all. But for some reason, she always felt it was better to know more about her.


    "This outsider might not know, but everyone in this residence knows it very well." This soulmate of hers, who is unknown to the outside world, is equivalent to half the mistress of this mansion. " Liu Qi saw her master ask this and immediately became interested and started talking nonstop. However, she was interrupted at the very beginning by her own master.


    "Oh, is that so? She must hate me, then?" Qi Wanshi raised an eyebrow ¡­


    "Now that our princess consort has come, it''s different. It''s only right and proper of you to do so." When Liu Qi heard this, his attention shifted from the gossip from just a moment ago to these words, and then he began to speak again.


    "Alright, alright. I don''t want to hear any of this nonsense. Bring me around the manor." Qi Wan County was a little impatient when he heard this, then he wanted to turn around and walk away.


    "Princess, how can you speak such nonsense? This matter is related to your position." When Liu Qi heard this, she immediately wanted to stop. What was this Wang Fei saying? She was doing this for his own good. If it was someone else, he wouldn''t even bother to say it ¡­ Afterwards, he didn''t notice that he was already acting presumptuously. If he was in front of other powerful masters, how would he dare to speak like that?


    "I''m not interested at all." Qi Wan County strode forward. He felt that this little girl was really very noisy, why did she talk more than those old ladies? However, what he didn''t know was that Liu Qi was always quiet in the mansion, and Yu Ling Jing also saw him being diligent and nimble, and also didn''t like to talk, so he felt that Yu Ling Jing would definitely like this kind of scariness, which was why he sent her. However, he didn''t expect this little girl to be so talkative, and now, she had met a master with a sharp tongue and a heart of rot.


    "Wangfei, you''ve got a good saying. You can''t let your guard down when you want to harm others ¡­" Liu Qi once again displayed the attitude of an educator.


    "At your age, you do have quite a few crooked ideas." Qi Wanxian rolled his eyes. He felt that this little girl was treating him as an idiot. Was it because he appeared to be too pure and virtuous?


    When Liu Qi heard this, she felt that she said it a bit too much. Then she immediately shut her mouth and responded to Qi Lan''s words, finding a way out for herself.


    "En, wangfei, don''t tease me anymore. I will return the favor ¡­"

 C38

    Walking along the long, winding corridor, Qi Wan County leaned lightly against the mahogany railing, turning its head to look at the scenery in the courtyard. It had to be said that the design of the prince''s mansion was a bit special and elegant. On the small fake mountain was the flowing water of the deep abyss, and the water was hard on the side. Create an environment that is particularly easy to feel comfortable and relaxed.


    Liu Qi led Qi Lang through the fake mountains that weren''t quite as wide as the land to the back. This place was even more special, the ponds on both sides of the road were filled with tender green lotus leaves. Taking a closer look at the patterns on it, he saw that it was a beautiful white magnolia flower.


    "Wangfei, look at the lotus leaves in this pond, right? Let me tell you, wait until the summer when the lotus leaves will bloom!" Then you can row around in this boat and enjoy the cool air... You can also pick a few lotus roots to eat. " When Liu Qi saw this scene, he was clearly more excited than Qi and Wan County. As he happily said this, his eyes were filled with the light of joy. In Qi Wan''s eyes, this girl didn''t know how to hide her emotions. Being happy was being happy, but being happy was being unhappy. He would say whatever he wanted to say. Actually, he rather liked this kind of character. He didn''t have any scruples, nor was there anything to worry about. In fact, what he didn''t know was that this girl had learned to observe her words since she was young. The reason why he acted so innocent and obedient in front of her was because he knew that this master wasn''t someone who would make things difficult for people for no reason.


    "Have you ever played like this?" It seemed like this little girl really liked this place. Thus, he intentionally asked her like this. Of course, she knew that it was impossible for him to have a chance.


    "How could I have the time? Even if I had, I still wouldn''t have the qualifications to play." The light in Liu Qi''s eyes suddenly dimmed. Before she was patted down to her side, she had always been in the kitchen cutting vegetables or doing some small chores. It could be said that he was one of the lowest ranked people in this mansion. However, one day, the prince suddenly took everything they had and picked it out. He thought that he had done something wrong and was about to be punished, but he didn''t expect that it would be a betrayal. He came to the side of such a good wangfei, so he was especially fond of this wangfei. Right now, he only needed to follow this wangfei and walk all over the place. It was much easier to live than in the past.


    "I''ll show you when summer comes." Qi Wanshi smiled and turned to speak to the little girl.


    "Really?" Liu Qi Hearing this, your eyes lit up again.


    "Of course it''s true. Would I lie to you?" Qi Dian felt that this little girl was truly too adorable. It was unknown who had brought her to his side. If Yu Ling Jing knew what Qi Shu was thinking right now, he would definitely think that his choice was too good. Although this little girl was a bit different from what he was thinking, it would be great enough to make Qi Shu happy.


    "Thank you, wangfei." Liu Qi suddenly discovered that she was overjoyed. Then she hurriedly lowered her head and bowed, saying thank you. Qi Wanshi didn''t say anything else. He put his hand on the railing and looked at the lotus leaves in the pond.


    "Qi Wanli County, what are you doing here?" Yu Ling Jing suddenly came out from behind the rock garden and said. There was a cool spring breeze with his words.


    "What else can I do here other than enjoy the scenery?" Qi Wan County silently rolled his eyes, then looked at the woman. No matter how much people liked to suddenly come out and talk, could they? There was still a bit of footsteps coming in.


    "Oh, I said some nonsense." Yu Ling Jing looked at Qi Lun and saw that she was indifferent, so he simply followed what he said.


    "It''s good that you know." Qi Dian County was also not polite at all. Yu Lingjing gave Liu Qi a look, and then the little girl happily and consciously withdrew. In his heart, he thought, "Haha, this prince, it seems like he has some feelings for Wang Fei. Otherwise, why would he deliberately create this opportunity for two people to be alone?"


    "There''s nothing to see here in the spring. Go to the pond over there and have a look." Yu Ling Jing looked indifferently at the pond. Actually, not all of the lotus leaves in his nephew''s pond were green. The spring had just arrived, and the lotus leaves in the pond hadn''t completely changed yet. So there were many withered yellow leaves floating on the surface of the water.


    "Alright, then I''ll listen to you. It''s boring anyway." Qi Wan County originally wanted to refuse, but he felt that if he refused like this. He seemed to care too much about it. Therefore, he thought that it was better to go. Since he had nothing better to do, he might as well go.


    Soon, Yu Ling Jing and Yu Ling Jing arrived at the pond outside of the courtyard. This courtyard was like an ordinary farmer''s house, a simple hut and a small pond. The water in the pond looked especially contemptuous, and the reflection of the willow tree beside the pond was reflected on the surface of the water, making the pond look like a piece of jade ¡­


    Your family really has a lot of pools." Qi Wanjun was actually very curious about why a mansion would have such a building, but she didn''t want to show off her ignorance in front of Yu Lingjing. So he chose to say something that was neither too salty nor too mild.


    "I like water." Yu Ling Jing looked at the fish swimming back and forth in the pond.


    "Lord War God is Lord War God, and even his special habits are so unique" When Qi Wan heard this nonsense, she suddenly felt that it was strange. Why would a man like water!


    "My mother, she also likes ponds. He and my father met at the pond. " After a while, Yu Lingjing suddenly opened her mouth.


    "It sounds like it really is a beautiful love story." When Qi Wanli heard this, he clearly felt his own heartbeat, as if he missed a beat. Did his childhood have an unspeakable story? But she still pretended to be heartless and laughed.


    "It''s a pity how heartless Emperor Gu was." He hated the fact that he was born in the emperor''s house the most. If he was just an ordinary child of an ordinary family, then even if there was a struggle, he wouldn''t need to be like the people in the palace. Every step he took had to be on edge, as if treading on thin ice.


    Who wouldn''t want a beauty in such a high position?" Qi Wan County also no longer had a frivolous attitude. She looked at the water in the pool with a profound gaze. He found that every time he and Yu Ling Jing had a serious conversation, it had always been at the pond.


    "There should be an exception." Yu Ling Jing didn''t look at Qi Shu County. His eyes were so dark that it seemed as if he wanted to suck a person in.


    "I''m sure you won''t be the exception." Qi Dian didn''t know why his mood suddenly became a bit agitated.


    "Firstly, I am not the least bit interested in that throne. My current battle with the crown prince is only to protect myself. Second, I''ve always felt that a person should live the life of a couple for life. " This was the first time Yu Lingjing had not fought with others in the imperial court, or had even discussed military matters with others in the movie, but had said such a big part in his normal life. Even after he had finished speaking, he still found it inconceivable. When did he become so talkative?


    "Is that so? It seems like the emperor''s family also has lovers. However, this is easier said than done."


    "There''s nothing I can''t do." A deep and rich magnetic voice, carrying an innate aura, word by word, struck Qi Wanxian''s heart. Because of his height, the weeping willow had already reached his shoulders. From Qi Wanxian point of view, Yu Lingshui of the picture-like handsome young man and the scenery around him were especially harmonious. He was like the person in the painting, as beautiful as a jade tree and enchanting as the wind.


    "You''re truly confident. From what I see, you won''t be able to do that." Qi Dian retracted his gaze and slowly said. He didn''t know why but he always wanted Yu Ling Jing to be unable to reply. It was a very interesting and fulfilling thing, but it seemed to have a very low success rate. For example, now.


    "Is that so? You can give it a try? " Yu Ling Jing squinted his long and narrow phoenix eyes. The light in them vanished in an instant, and the person with the corner of his mouth didn''t even have a slight curve. Qi Wanjun felt as if the aura around his body had completely changed.


    "I''m not the least bit interested in this matter." Qi Wanli disdainfully said.


    "I know you''re only interested in revenge." Yu Lingjing felt a burst of irritation in her heart, and her words became heavier. He found himself prone to irritability in front of this girl. But at other times, she was so gentle and gentle that even he didn''t recognize her.


    "It''s good that you know this." "Why does this person always like to poke at her wound?" "Then you are only interested in that life of killing and fighting." After Qi Wan County finished his sentence, he added after a while.


    "There is no one who doesn''t yearn for a peaceful and peaceful life." Yu Lingjing immediately retracted her thoughts and replied in a flat tone.


    "Is that so?" Qi Wanxian turned around and looked at Yu Ling Jing, his eyes unperturbed. "She spoke very slowly, as if she was afraid that Yu Ling Jing would not be able to hear her." If there''s a girl who wants you to give up all of this glory and splendor and fight him to the death, would you be willing to do so? "


    When Yu Ling Jing heard this, he stood there, his jade-like body trembling slightly. Who knows.


    Another gust of wind blew past. The weeping willow branch danced in the air, causing ripples to form on the surface. The reflections of the two people in the pond swayed as if they were about to merge together.

 C39

    A clear bird cry sounded out, breaking the silence that had persisted for a long time. Yu Lingjing finally lifted his thin lips. A magnetic voice resounded in the air. "Just like the bird cry just now, it entered Qi Wanli''s ears clearly and powerfully." If it''s someone I really like, then I should be able to give up everything for him. " In fact, he could have avoided answering this question, but he was willing to take every word that Qi Wanxian said seriously.


    "It seems that the girl you like is particularly lucky, but it''s easier said than done. Does anyone know how to say good things? " Qi Wan County seemed to take this sentence as a joke. However, he didn''t know how much struggle the person facing him had to endure before he could say such words.


    "Yes." But if I can''t do it, I won''t say it. " Yu Ling Jing never spoke of himself, and if he didn''t have the strength to do so, then it was just like how he never fought a battle without confidence.


    "Is that so? But would you really give up a life of luxury just for the sake of your own love? No one can resist the temptation of money status. " He had seen too many people give up something more important for money, for profit. But when he didn''t know it, there were things that made people happier and more satisfying than money and power. Those were things that money and power couldn''t buy, and they were also more valuable and valuable. Those who gave up such things for the sake of money and status would regret it for the rest of their lives.


    "I wouldn''t let her live like that." Yu Ling Jing frowned, not knowing why Qi Lang''s reaction was so intense.


    "You don''t have the right or the status anymore. What can you do to guarantee her safety?" Qi Dian indifferently said. He didn''t know where this feeling came from.


    "I believe I can." No matter what, as a prince, he had some ability. It was impossible for him to throw away his identity and do nothing.


    "What inexplicable self-confidence. But can a prince who has lived like a prince get used to living like that?" A disdainful smile appeared on Qi Wanjun''s face when he heard this.


    "Why can''t I? I am a prince, but I am also a soldier." Yu Ling Jing''s eyes seemed to ignite with fire. After a long while, he slowly spoke. It had been a long time since he had said these words to anyone, and he didn''t want to say them to anyone else, but in front of Qi Lan County, he was willing to say the words in his heart. This was probably a form of trust. You know, I don''t like living in the palace at all. "


    "I really don''t know about that." Qi Wanxian listened to the obvious essay for a moment, but she still chose to reply with a particularly frivolous tone.


    Yu Ling Jing frowned, and after a long silence, he finally opened his mouth. "She didn''t know how she would react to hearing that, but he wanted to say it." All these years, there are a lot of times where I can avoid going out of the city, but every time I can go, many people hate that kind of life. Many warriors want to go back home when they get there, but I don''t want to go back because this isn''t my home, and in my heart, this place is more dangerous than the battlefield. "


    "Why?" Qi Wanjun suddenly felt that the current him was a bit lonely. He always gave people a feeling that he was not easy to approach, but sometimes Qi Wan County felt that his own heart in Yu Ling Jing was different.


    "I can''t see the danger here." Yu Ling Jing''s eyes were abnormally deep as he listened, giving off a feeling that one couldn''t see the bottom.


    "Do you know what I thought when I heard that you wanted to take revenge alone?" Yu Lingjing''s tone suddenly became frivolous, and a cold smile spread across her face.


    "I just think I''m overestimating myself." Qi Dian felt that his smile was abnormally dazzling. He rarely smiled, but every time he laughed, it was like a spring breeze blowing across his face and an iceberg melting. But now, his smile made people feel scared. Qi Dian felt disgusted and trembled visibly, but he still knew how to disguise himself, so he didn''t seem to care in the slightest.


    "It looks like you know your own limitations." Yu Lingjing said lightly. One had to admit that his tone was very irritating.


    "But even if it''s a dragon''s lagoon or a tiger''s den, I will not give up." You start to get excited, she did not know why her attitude change so quickly. Hurry up, it was a bit strange, she didn''t seem to say anything.


    "It''s more dangerous than that. If one day you encounter something that disheartened you and makes you despair, will you not give up? " Yu Lingjing asked in a rhetorical tone. The light in her eyes dimmed bit by bit.


    "I didn''t even despair over the destruction of my entire family. What else can make me despair?" The corners of Qi Wan County''s mouth also revealed a cold smile. He felt like Yu Ling Jing was doing it on purpose, wanting to rub salt into his wounds every time, not wanting him to be happy.


    "Is that so? "I''ll help you. Let''s go eat first." However, Yu Ling Jing''s attitude changed even faster, and he suddenly said softly. Qi Wan County felt that it was faster to turn against this person than to flip a book.


    She slowly walked behind Yu Ling Jing, pondering over what he meant by his words just now.


    A bright and round moon hung in the vast sky. There were no stars twinkling around him, making him seem lonely and cold.


    "If there really is someone who can make me give up on this, then it can only be you." Yu Ling Jing blinked, and without blinking, he stared at Qi Hui County. His words were like a light feather, slowly brushing across Qi Wan''s heart.


    "Your words are getting sweeter and sweeter." Qi Dian felt his heart itch as if something was about to come out. He tried his best to restrain it, but the corner of his mouth slightly curled up.


    "But that''s all I''m saying to you, isn''t it?" Yu Ling Jing squinted his long and narrow almond-shaped eyes, and said in a clear and loud voice. These words struck his heart one word at a time.


    "I don''t know." Qi Wanshi subconsciously shook his head as if he was resisting something.


    "This is ¡­" Yu Ling Jing''s voice was filled with a magnetism that made it seem like he was drifting about, making him feel like an illusion. I know that this kind of self, may make everyone feel especially strange, but a lot of times, people are unable to control their own heart. There are some feelings that cannot be stopped once they have been created. "


    "I don''t know what you''re talking about, and I don''t want to know." Qi Wan County kept shaking his head. He didn''t know if he was denying what the person in front of him was saying or what he was really thinking.


    "Stop pretending. You dare to say that you don''t have any feelings for me?" Yu Lingjing smiled. There was an indescribable sense of confidence in his expression.


    "Why wouldn''t I dare?" Chiru looked at her in such a way that the traveller retorted.


    "Then look into my eyes!" Yu Ling Jing looked at her twinkling eyes, his tone especially light.


    "Why should I listen to you?" Qi Wanshi raised his eyebrows, as his mood had already stabilized.


    "Yu Ling Jing continued to speak, and completely ignored Qi Lan''s words just now." You look at me and you tell me what''s in your heart. "


    "I don''t know." Qi Wanjun felt a little discouraged. He really couldn''t see clearly what he was thinking in his heart.


    "You don''t know anything? You''re just scared, aren''t you? "Are you afraid you might be worried about something?" Yu Ling Jing suddenly laughed, this was the first time Qi Hui County had seen her laugh. The hearty laughter was like the ringing of a bell in an ancient temple. His words, word by word hit Qi Wanxian''s heart, Qi Wanxian felt as if her heart had been ripped open.


    The morning sunlight sprinkled on the sandalwood table, and it could be seen that tiny specks of dust were slowly dancing in the sunlight.


    Qi Wanjun suddenly sat up from the bed. He looked at the wrinkles on his right side of the bed and became a bit absent-minded. The person beside him had already disappeared. Could he have gone to attend the morning assembly? In order to avoid suspicion, they had been sleeping together all this time. At first, he was very resistant to sleeping with someone of the opposite sex, but later, she slowly got used to it. She didn''t know why he always slept especially peacefully with her. However, there seemed to be a sense of security around him. Even when the two of them interacted normally, it seemed like they were especially cold and discordant.


    Qi Wanshi lightly tapped his head with his hand. How could Yu Ling Jing say something like that in real life? How could he make a joke like that? But why did he dream of him? Why did he have such a dream? In the dream, who was the one who wanted to say it?


    You''re just scared, he said, and for the rest of the day it was in his mind that he couldn''t calm down to think about it. He had been planning his revenge for this entire time, but he needed the help of the owner of this welfare. However, he couldn''t say anything, and now that he had such a dream, could it be that he was really, really in love with him? The words that Yu Ling Jing said in his dream were in fact, his own thoughts! But if she really did like him, then what would he do? What else could he do to face him? How could he continue his revenge? Did he have more concerns? Could he really give up his life for revenge and leave without any regrets?


    He shook his head and told himself that there was nothing you couldn''t control.

 C40

    Yu Ling Jing and Qi Wan were seated facing each other, each holding a cup of tea, slowly drinking. Suddenly, the man spoke. His voice was deep and low. "Actually, I have a special understanding of what you want to take revenge on."


    "You understand that, but I don''t see it." He always felt that what he said was especially funny. He had never lost anyone, so how could he understand such an emotion?


    "Then let me tell you this, my childhood?" Yu Ling Jing slowly closed his eyes, recalling the past. More than ten years had passed, but many things were still fresh in his mind, and he would never forget them.


    Yu Lingjing was the late emperor''s youngest son, and he received a lot of favors when he was born. Even though the late emperor had no lack of sons, he had grown up to be a fan and sculpted son.


    Ever since she was young, the old nanny at her side had told him that Yu Ling Jing was his mother''s lucky star. Because of his arrival, her mother had been promoted from the position of concubine to that of concubine. Even his not-so-prominent family members had received many benefits. His mother was always smiling gently in front of him, just like the warmth of the winter sun. However, there were also many times when he would secretly peek at his mother sitting alone in the corner, in a daze, frowning with exhaustion in his eyes and face.


    However, at that time, he was still young. He was simply unable to understand why his mother, even though she was clearly very well off, would always have a worried expression on her face. Hai, he realized that every time he ran over to tell his mother to hug him, her mother would give him a real smile and then hug him, gently coaxing him. Her mother had given him the best love in the world.


    As for her father, who was also the late emperor, he gave her a lot of things. She wanted to accompany him and play with him, but she liked him even more and wanted to see his studies to receive the praise of his teacher. His martial arts had improved a lot, but he didn''t like this kind of situation. He wanted his father to simply accompany him, chat with him and accompany his mother, but she knew that this was an extremely extravagant wish.


    In this palace, there was no concubine who could be doting on him for a long time. Although Yu Lingjing''s position as an imperial concubine had improved due to him, he didn''t have the backing of his parents. Although his position was not as awkward as those who had turned from a palace maid to a concubine, he could not say much on many occasions. He could not be impudent, and of course, he also did not want to let it go. If others were angered, they could still vent their anger on someone lower than them, but since he was so kind, she would never take her anger out on him.


    However, people who were too kind in the palace never got any benefits. In order to be young and truly have to protect themselves in the palace, they had to learn how to scheme, and how to guard against others. But his mother was just that kind. He never hurt anyone, but that didn''t mean he would let them hurt him. Therefore, he was always extremely low-key in his heart. The clothes he wore were also as plain as he could be. She didn''t fight for it. Unfortunately, there were always some people who were sick with red eyes and disliked everyone. He would mock those who were worse off than him, and those who were better off, he would be jealous.


    She wasn''t favoured by the Emperor, but because you didn''t have a concubine to look for, even if those concubines came here sometimes, it would just be a few sarcastic remarks from them. He can ignore them, but after the Emperor''s occasional favor, she got pregnant and then the trouble came again, even though he was careful enough that the concubines didn''t succeed in their plot, he had successfully given birth to this child.


    But this also meant that his life would no longer be peaceful. There would be people who would want to hurt him and his children. He had to make himself stronger. Yu Ling Jing was a very smart person, but to a smart person, she was only a woman. He would be very fragile, and she needed the protection of others, but the people she could rely on didn''t want to protect her. Yu Ling Jing looked at his mother''s gentle smile as she silently cried.


    He felt that there was always a sense of worry in his mother''s eyes about the future, and he looked at her with a look of love and concern and regret.


    When Yu Ling Jing was six years old, he had a vague feeling of unease. Whatever he had learned was about to happen, and he felt that he was about to lose something very important to him.


    It was an exceptionally cold winter, and the ponds inside the Emperor''s Crown Garden were covered with a thin layer of ice. After one dinner, Yu Lingjing was led around the garden by his mother. There were no servants around, and although he was young at that time, his royal brother was now twenty years old. Yu Lingjing and her son met their group on the stone bridge in the garden. Their seniority was low, and they bowed to each other in respect. Just as they were about to leave. Suddenly, someone fell into the water. This had nothing to do with them. Yu Lingjing stood blankly by his side, watching everything. His mother was secretly crying out inside her head that things were not going well. It seemed like she wouldn''t be able to escape. They must be well-prepared. The next thing he needed to do was think of a way to protect his child.


    The guards in the palace came to rescue the people who fell in the water. It was the Imperial Bodyguard, and although there was nothing serious, it was impossible to avoid the cold from soaking in the cold water. However, what happened next caught Yu Lingjing off guard. After waking up, Yu Lingjing told the Emperor that he was the one who pushed him down.


    Yu Lingjing couldn''t react at all. He stared blankly at his brother, who had been good to him. But his brother didn''t explain him. Although he didn''t say anything, he was just like that. He was serious with his children, speaking nonsense and acquiescing ¡­ A chill went down Yu Lingjing''s spine. His mother was standing silently by his side, and he knew that there was no point in trying to explain himself.


    "The child is still young and not Jing Er. Actually, it''s me. However, because of the location earlier, Han Feng assumed that it was his uncle who did it. Actually, I''m not. I''ve always held a grudge against the crown prince. I''m jealous of him. "Jing Er has such a kind and kind relationship, how could he do such a malicious thing? I was the one who did it. I hope the emperor can be merciful and punish me alone." Yu Lingjing''s mother fell to her knees and kowtowed with all her might. Yu Lingjing looked at his mother''s bleeding forehead and couldn''t do anything. He knew what his own mother wanted to do. He just wanted her to protect him. As long as she took all the sins, then his royal father would think of his old relationship and leave him with his life.


    "How dare you." How could he not be angry? However, how could he not know whose fault all these actions were? It was just that he chose to indulge himself. Some things can be simplified and simplified, and very few people in this palace care about what others feel. "Wouldn''t it be alright if I was happy?" A death sentence can be avoided, but for now, scram to the Cold Palace. "


    "Father, are you going to let mother go?" Yu Ling Jing also knelt on the ground, wanting to plead for his mother, but to no avail.


    "I''ve already let it go." The emperor flicked his sleeve and turned around to leave. Yu Lingjing stared fiercely at the back of his father, so this was his father. These feelings were so fragile.


    However, just because the emperor let him go didn''t mean that others would let him go. There was a sudden news that Yu Lingjing''s mother committed suicide in the cold palace. Yu Lingjing knew that it was impossible for her mother to commit suicide because she hadn''t seen him for the last time. When Yu Lingjing saw his mother''s last time, he actually saw relief from the cold and stiff expression on her face. He didn''t know why his mother was like this, perhaps because she had lived too hard.


    Yu Lingjing was raised by a concubine, but the emperor no longer doted on him. He suddenly lost his mother and his father''s favor. However, he knew that he had to be strong and live well, because he knew that he was his mother''s only concern in this world. Although the concubine who had raised him treated her well, that was all. He also thought about taking revenge, but he discovered that he really couldn''t do it. He didn''t know who to blame, and whether to blame Yu Feng? You little brat, if it wasn''t for someone else instigating you, how could you have done such a thing? Blame that royal brother of his. He knew that Huang Song wouldn''t do something like that. Although that royal brother of hers really wanted to get the throne, he wouldn''t casually injure the innocent. However, his silence at that time represented that they would never be able to be like brothers again. At that time, she was still young, so there was nothing she could do. By the time he grew up, the real mastermind had already died. He wanted to avenge his mother, but he really had no place to do so. Then there was the feeling of enmity, but not being able to hold it. Who could experience it?


    He would never forget that day, the changes that had occurred. He finally understood why his mother always had a worried expression on her face. In his memory, he rarely saw his mother, so he revealed the most brilliant smile. Thus, he hated this palace to the extreme. Thus, when he was very young, he had followed those generals to the battlefield. While the other warriors were homesick, he was enjoying his life, a life of slaughter.

 C41

    Seeing this indifferent and sad man in front of him, Qi Wan County''s heart was extremely sour. It was unknown when the rejection towards him had completely vanished, and it was replaced by sympathy! Since the ancient times, how ungrateful was the Emperor? He hated being born in the emperor''s house the most? However, how could one choose the source of destiny? The concubines of the royal family were helpless to do anything. Why not the princes and princesses of the royal family? I just hope that in my next life, I won''t go to the emperor''s house again!


    If a person could not even protect the person closest to him, then who could understand the pain he was suffering in his heart?


    "Never thought of that?" You have such an experience! I always thought ¡­ " At one time, she thought that the man in front of her was born to be a proud, aloof, and cold person. He had the advantage of being unique, had the most respected royal bloodline in the world, and had a face that could enchant all the women in the world. All of these were enough for him to be arrogant and overweeningly proud? Who would have thought that all of his rings of light had such a sad history!


    "That''s what you think I was born with, isn''t it?" Yu Lingjing sneered and said self-deprecatingly. Qi Dian didn''t say anything, but the expression in her eyes seemed to say that it was true! Yu Ling Jing seemed to see the inner thoughts in Qi Shu County, the corner of his mouth raised into a rare smile, and he lightly said, "No human likes indifference, likes being overweeningly arrogant! But sometimes in order to survive, in order to survive, in order to let your bereaved family member have a little less to worry about? He had no choice but to pretend like this! "So ¡­" Yu Ling Jing paused, and then sighed, "I understand how you feel about taking revenge!"


    "But our loved ones are watching us from the sky, so don''t let this hatred lose its way! "Believe me ¡­" Yu Ling Jing placed his large and warm hand on Qi Wanli''s palm. Qi Wanli''s heart was like a fawn that was violently beating around the bush, and his scarlet face was as bright as a peach. For some reason, he didn''t resist, allowing his small hand to be held tightly by Yu Ling Jing! She didn''t say anything. She didn''t know where to start.


    Qi Wanxian tried his best to suppress the uneasiness in his heart, but her uneasiness was unable to escape Yu Ling Jing''s eyes, he said gently, "Look into my eyes, listen to me ¡­"


    Qi Wanxian slightly raised his head, and his hazy eyes rolled around, not knowing where to go. Why was he in such a panic? What was he afraid of in his heart? Why don''t I dare to look him in the eye, is this still the woman who walks the Jianghu? Was she still that heroic, unyielding heroine?


    Yu Ling Jing lifted her chin, and looked at Qi Wan County affectionately, and said word by word, "Believe me? I will avenge you, but before that, you must not act rashly! "


    A warm current flowed into Qi Wanli''s heart, and her head buzzed. She was immersed in her own world of awkwardness and apprehension, and didn''t know what Yu Ling Jing was saying at all. He nodded without knowing what to do!


    Outside the window, a pair of white arms were tightly clenched, followed by a pair of sharp eyes. The face that was so beautiful that no one dared to look directly at it had been replaced by anger, and its hideous face was like that of a corpse! She was jealous, she was being calculative, she was jealous, she really wanted to ¡­


    But she seemed to have forgotten her identity? Why should she be jealous? Why should she care? Why should she be jealous? Who was she to him? She was the foster daughter of the Minister of the Left, and was bestowed by the Emperor. And me! Who am I to him? Humph! The woman mocked herself as she slowly unclenched her fists! To say that she was his guest and to say that she was his servant and master?


    But she wasn''t willing. She wasn''t willing to give up silently just to become this woman. In her eyes, she didn''t love him and wasn''t worthy of him at all. Did she have to think of a way to take him back? She couldn''t stay like this any longer! She silently had a crush on him, so she had to show some actual actions?


    She glanced at the two people in the room who were standing in mutual fear. With a cold gaze, she disappeared into the yard!


    The leaves outside looked greener in the sunlight, and as the breeze blew by, they began to laugh mischievously like children!


    The silence was broken by a sudden voice.


    "Oh? I''m sorry! I''m sorry! Me? You didn''t see anything? " The official pushed open the door, and upon seeing Yu Ling Jing and Qi Wan County''s expressions, he immediately felt that he made a mistake. After seeing the things he shouldn''t have seen, he immediately covered his eyes, but carefully observed their expressions through the gaps of his fingers, and said, "Sorry, I didn''t see anything!" Even a fool would know that the meaning behind his words was, hehe, I saw it all! His words had no hint of apology or apology in them.


    "That?" I''m sorry! I forgot to knock! "I''ll go knock on the door right now ¡­" As he said that, he turned around and pretended to walk out, but his eyes were fixated on Yu Ling Jing and Qi Lun. Yu Ling Jing''s calm face did not show any changes, Qi Lun''s face was as red as an apple! He didn''t know that at this moment, Qi Lun County really wished they could find an empty hole to hide in!


    "No need!" Compared to when he was in front of Qi Hui County, he was completely different. At this moment, he had once again reverted to the overweeningly arrogant demeanor of a king!


    The official laughed. He had already expected this! In fact, he did not really intend to knock on the door. He was just putting on an act! He couldn''t help but rejoice in his heart. His happiness was maintained for a short moment before he was shocked by Yu Lingjing''s following words.


    "Next time, don''t knock!" I will chop off your hand. "


    Such a vicious sentence! This was the black-hearted prince. Just thinking about it, he felt a little scared. This Yu Lingjing had actually done it! It''s nothing! He didn''t want to touch this nail, so his gaze finally landed on Qi Wanli and he chuckled. "I say, esteemed wangfei, you have to properly manage your prince!" This person was scary, but he had a heart attack! Are you going to touch my little heart because he''s scared out of it? "


    As the official spoke, he walked to the front of Qi Wan County and opened his chest, watching as Qi Xi County turned her head away in embarrassment!


    When the official turned around, he met Yu Lingjing''s abnormally cold gaze. He glared fiercely at her, and the rage in his eyes could not wait to swallow her up! Shadowgale''s heart skipped a beat and he quickly recovered his smile. For a man like him who wasn''t afraid of boiling water, Yu Lingjing''s dignity was just like painkillers. It had a temporary effect of relieving the pain! As for the root cause, it was incurable!


    That?" How were you that night? " The official''s shadow stared with lustful eyes as he lowered his head to look at Qi Wan County. He had a leisurely expression as he asked this question, his meaning was very clear. You guys didn''t have a round room last night? However, if this question was asked by an ordinary person, it would make them feel disgusted. However, since it came from a playboy, it was a prelude to a deliberate teasing!


    Qi Wan County finally couldn''t hold it in, and raised his head to ask in a stern voice, "What nonsense are you spouting? How could he ask such a question!? How shameless! "


    The official wanted to say something, but what was there to be ashamed of after doing it! However, he was interrupted by another sentence, "When did this young master of the Shangguan family have to show his face?" Along with a clear and melodious voice, a young girl dressed in a light purple group of people flashed in. The instant she saw the young girl, Qi Tong shouted in surprise, then pointed at the store owner''s shadow, and said with a wronged expression, "Senior Sister! He bullied me! "


    "You? How did you speak? " The moment he saw the girl and heard her talk about him, he was so angry that his smiling face immediately changed to a stern face. This girl, Zhuge, didn''t have any sense of propriety when she spoke and didn''t leave any face for me?


    The corner of Yu Ling Jing''s mouth curved into a smile. Originally, he had wanted to deal with the emperor''s shadow, but who knew that he would be able to kill his way out. At this moment, Yu Ling Jing was holding both of his hands, waiting for the upcoming show!


    "I like to talk like this, what''s wrong! You dare to bully my junior sister? "You''ve grown up, haven''t you?" Qing Mo Xue''s pitch-black eyes glared viciously at Shangguan Ying. Qing Mo Xue raised her arm as if she was trying to avenge her cousin. To say that this object was inferior to that of another was indeed very true. Although Qing Mo Xue was normally a good talker, she was no match for Qing Mo Xue!


    "Hehe!" No? No, how could I dare to bully your Junior Sister? Even if I had ten times the guts, I wouldn''t dare! Don''t you think so? " "Hehehe ¡­ heheheheheheheheheheheheh ¡­" Qing Mo Xue turned and walked towards the shadow of the official, who waved both his palms with an innocent look on his face.


    Seeing that the official shadow had succeeded in his scheme, Qi Wanshi angrily said, "He has it!"


    "I''m a witness!" At this time, Yu Lingjing, who was standing to the side, also opened her mouth. Seeing the usually taciturn prince also speak, Qing Mo Xue couldn''t help but ponder the truth of the matter! When Qing Mo Xue''s eyes were once again glaring at Shangguan Ying, he gave her an eye and smirked. When Qing Mo Xue came back to her senses, Guan Ying had already disappeared with a stomp of his feet!


    "Stop right there!" Qing Mo Xue shouted loudly. With a flick of her feet, she also followed along!


    What''s wrong with this senior sister? It was completely different from the senior sister before. If people saw Zhuge running around with a man in hot pursuit, wouldn''t he lose his teeth in laughter?


    The only ones left in the room were Qi Lang County and Yu Ling Jing. They looked at each other and smiled, but no one spoke! After Qing Mo Xue and Guang Ying left, they regained their calmness, as if the two of them had never been in the future. It was as if they were in a dream!


    After breakfast, Qi Wan and Liu Qi went for a walk together, and unintentionally walked into the prince''s study.


    Coincidentally, she saw the prince and the woman in red discussing something. Although she knew that they were together for official business, her heart still felt sour. Liu Qi saw the expression on the face of the wangfei.

 C42

    Liu Qi comforted her, "That confidante of hers was with the prince purely for official business. Don''t take it to heart, wangfei!"


    These words caused Qi Wanli to reveal an awkward expression as he hurriedly explained, "I know that they''re together for official business, so I didn''t take it to heart!" As Qi Ning said this, she revealed a helpless smile. Liu Qi knew that the wangfei still had a prince in her heart. Otherwise, when she saw him with other women, she wouldn''t have such an expression! Since the wangfei said she didn''t take it to heart, then she wouldn''t take it to heart. It wouldn''t be good for her to say anything!


    "Let''s go!" Princess, how about we go for a walk? " When Liu Qi saw that the wangfei was embarrassed, she immediately changed the topic. It had to be said that this girl was very young, but her ability to read words and see expressions could be said to be superb. It was no wonder that he was forced to live in the palace at such a young age!


    Walking aimlessly on the streets of Qi Wan County, all I could think about was the scene of Yu Ling Jing and the woman in red together, what''s wrong with me? Why is my mind full of this, and what am I doing? Jealous? How could this be, how could I, Qi Wan County, be jealous? I am a child of the martial arts world, how could I fuss over this kind of thing? But why was he so uneasy and terrified whenever he thought of the prince with that woman in red?


    As he walked, he saw an aunt selling candied fruits. Qi Wanshi''s mind was preoccupied with the scene of his Senior Sister wanting to sell her a candied fruits during their last outing, but Yu Ling Jing had already snatched the opportunity to buy it! A faint arc appeared on Qi Wanli''s face. In just that instant! Then his face darkened and he muttered, "So what? Isn''t he still with other women? " They all knew how heartless the Ancient Emperor was. Could it be that the king of the family was not compassionate? Did he really have nothing to do with this so-called bosom friend?


    A pair for a lifetime, how many people would be able to make such a sarcastic remark? At this moment, when he thought of these words, a burst of ridicule appeared in the eyes of Qi Wanli!


    The bustling streets, the bustling capital! How many people dream of the place, but in my heart is so unbearable! Why do I have the urge to run away? If it wasn''t for saving Yu Ling Jing, why would our Qi family be annihilated?


    If it wasn''t for revenge, why would I have to marry Yu Ling Jing? I would have been carefree and free a long time ago, and this is the life I long for. I don''t want to be involved in the battles of the imperial family here. I hate this disguise, but I have no choice but to disguise it. In order to get revenge and get close to the crown prince, I must use my status as an imperial concubine?


    When they returned to the mansion, Qi Shu County was lying on the bed, recalling the details of their journey! He had unknowingly fallen asleep ¡­


    The dark green lake water reflected the setting sun. The distant mountain was faintly discernible, giving off a kind of poetic beauty! Where is this place? Qi Wanxian looked at himself and found himself sitting on a leisurely little wooden boat. His heart was filled with fear.


    Why am I here? Am I not seasick? At this moment, thinking of how she fell into the water when she was a child, Qi Wan County immediately became restless. They wanted to leave, but the boat was in the middle of the lake, so how could she leave by boat? She was so scared. She felt that her life was so fragile, so vulnerable to a single blow!


    A gust of wind blew past and the clear sky suddenly became overcast with dark clouds. The boat swayed as if it was going to fall into the water! Qi Wan County cried out for help, but when they looked around, no one came to save her!


    Another gust of wind unceremoniously swept her along with the boat into the lake. She struggled desperately in the lake, calling out for help, but no one came to save her! Disappointed, she closed her eyes and sank into the lake. A large hand grabbed her small hand in her shallow consciousness. When she opened her eyes again, she saw a handsome face that no one dared to look at.


    The instant she saw his face, her heart was filled with joy, as if he had become the only thing in her life that mattered to her! She cried tears of joy as she hugged him tightly, afraid that someone would snatch him away. At this moment, it was unknown who had pulled him away!


    Qi Wanjun raised his head to look, and a tall and slender red clothed female was standing there. Her fierce face revealed a trace of disdain, and her eyes that were filled with hostility stared angrily at her as she fiercely said, "The prince is mine! You''re not worthy of her! Get lost! Get lost! "


    Qi Wanshi looked at her, wanting to say something, but he found that he couldn''t! He looked longingly at Yu Ling Jing, but Yu Ling Jing waved her hand and left with a smile on her arm. She shouted, "Yu Ling Jing, I love you, come back! "Come back here!"


    "I love you, Yu Ling Jing! Come back! "Come back here!" Seeing the wangfei calling out the prince''s name even in her sleep, the corner of Liu Qi''s mouth raised into a smile! This wangfei was good in every way, except her temper was too stubborn and her mouth was too tough! He was clearly thinking of the prince, but he didn''t say it out loud.


    "Royal Consort ¡­ "Princess!"


    Liu Qi shook the sleeping Qi Shu County, looking at the wangfei''s appearance with a bit of heartache!


    Qi Wan County slowly opened her eyes and saw the brilliant smile on her face. The only person in this mansion who didn''t have any ill intentions towards her was this thirteen or fourteen year old girl. The corner of Qi Shu''s mouth curved slightly. Only he knew whether it was good or not!


    "Princess!" Are you dreaming? " Liu Qi sincerely asked.


    Qi Wanli looked at her suspiciously. How did this little girl know that she was dreaming?


    Liu Qi chuckled, "The wangfei was just calling out your name in her dreams?" Liu Qi didn''t have any intention of ridiculing the wangfei. She only felt that her life as the wangfei was very depressing. She clearly liked the prince, but if she didn''t say something about loving him, it would definitely be very uncomfortable! Although she had never been in a relationship before, but she dreamt that being in a relationship was a very sweet and blissful thing! How come it was so painful for the wangfei and the prince?


    Qi Ning''s small face instantly blushed, then she looked at Liu Qi and asked, "Then did I say anything?" Actually, what she wanted to say was, did I say anything that a girl shouldn''t say,


    Liu Qi smiled and said calmly, "I didn''t say anything!" I just said, "I love you, Yu Ling Jing.


    Did he not say anything? If he didn''t say anything, then what face did he have to say anything? Seven want county''s ashamed face reddened even more, she wished she could find a hole to burrow into!


    At this time, Yu Ling Jing pushed open the door and walked in. He saw Qi Wan County in such a state? She hurriedly asked, "What''s wrong?" Liu Qi squatted down and respectfully said, "Greetings, Prince!" Yu Ling Jing waved her hand, the corners of Liu Qi''s mouth curved up in understanding, and she turned to leave!


    "That?" What''s wrong with Liu Qi! " Yu Ling Jing wasn''t looking for a topic to talk about, but he wanted to ask, was Liu Qi smiling just now? What happened to your treatment!


    "She? She might be in a good mood today! " Luckily, she was not seen by Yu Ling Jing, otherwise her face would have been extremely bad. At this time, she felt someone staring at her from outside the window, so she quickly got off the bed and rushed to the door, opening it, only to see a red figure floating away in the darkness!


    "What''s wrong?" Yu Ling Jing looked at Qi Wan County''s strange actions and asked.


    "Oh? "It''s nothing!" Qi Wan County lightly said. However, at this moment, she finally felt that the Prince''s Mansion was not peaceful. It seemed like she was being watched! He didn''t know if he was an enemy or a friend, or a disaster or a blessing? It was just that she couldn''t say anything about this person at the moment, so she could only pretend as if nothing had happened in front of Yu Lingjing!


    Qi Wan County closed the door, revealing a long face, looking at Yu Ling Jing, "It''s getting late, Your Highness should rest!" After he finished speaking ¡­


    He went straight to bed.


    Seeing this woman''s strange actions, Yu Ling Jing''s curiosity was greatly raised. Could this woman have taken the wrong medicine? He was just about to say something when he saw Qi Wanxian''s back. He raised his hand and swallowed the words that were in his mouth!


    That night, Qi Wanli found it difficult to sleep. She thought about her dream and the red figure of her back? It shouldn''t be a coincidence. Regardless of whether it was a premeditated plan or not, she wanted revenge. However, she couldn''t let herself be caught up in such a trivial matter. No matter what the result would be, she had to find out?


    Early morning of the next day, Qi Lang rushed over to Qing Mo Xue''s place and pulled her up from the bed. Qing Mo Xue rubbed her sleepy eyes and said, "Although, I''m Zhuge, but I still need to sleep, okay? Insufficient sleep is bad for the skin! "


    The county didn''t care what she said. Since she was young, due to her master''s indifference, Senior Sister not only acted as an older sister, but also as a mother! Thus, he could act as he liked in front of her, "Senior Sister, help me find someone!"


    The moment she heard that they were going to investigate, Qing Mo Xue immediately became excited! This was her daughter, Zhuge''s forte, "Who?"


    Qi Wan County said seriously, "A woman called Hong Kou from the Residence of Regent! But it must be kept a secret! "


    Seeing how serious her Junior Sister''s words were, Qing Mo Xue immediately guessed the severity of the matter. He slowly nodded his head. After all, his Junior Sister was fighting alone in the Prince''s Mansion. Therefore, she must investigate this woman thoroughly!


    Yu Lingjing woke up, and reached out to hug Qi Wanshi beside her, but her arms missed their target. "Huu!" "When he opened his eyes, he found that Qi Wanxian was no longer there. He had slept too deeply these past two days, and he didn''t even know that the person beside his pillow had gone out!


    Once she entered the palace, she felt a pair of invisible eyes staring at her. It was just that she wasn''t sure if those eyes were the same pair from last night!


    She looked behind her and entered the house with a smile!


    "..."

 C43

    The door closed behind him. She lifted her head to find Yu Lingjing looking at her with a strange expression on her face. Her heart thumped as if she had been struck by something. She hadn''t expected that this man would still be here. Her heart was filled with doubts. Why didn''t this man want to attend the morning assembly today? He should be in the imperial court at this hour? Why was he in the mansion? This kind of atmosphere was very awkward, it made Qi Wanliang feel as if she had done something wrong!


    Qi Wanshi hated this atmosphere. She slowly walked over with a smile and said in a considerate tone,


    "Oh? I just went out to settle some matters, and saw that you were sleeping soundly, so I didn''t disturb you! "


    What a clever little mouth.


    He sat down on a chair. There was nothing to be done but sleep! In other circumstances, she still wished to keep her distance from this so-called prince!


    "What is it? "You didn''t go ¡­" His heart was thumping, and his face was burning hot. Logically speaking, they were already married, yet they had slept in the same bed with him for a few days, and yet, in front of him, he still had a disappointing appearance, and even his speech was a little shaky?


    Looking at Qi Shu County that was deliberately keeping a distance from him, Yu Ling Jing felt as if a cold wind was blowing through his heart. His initial enthusiasm was ruthlessly extinguished by it! Why was it that no matter how hard he tried, he was still unable to leave her heart?


    What was she afraid of? Why was she so against herself?! From the time they were married until now, it had been a few days. She had been very good to him, sometimes bad, sometimes cold, sometimes hot.


    Looking at the shy appearance of this woman in front of him, she was like a blossoming peach blossom! He really wanted to immediately have her and make her his real woman! He was certain that as long as he wanted to, she would not be able to escape. However, this would lower his position in her heart! He cared about her and respected her, so he wouldn''t force her. He wanted to wait until she stopped resisting him. He wanted to have her in her entirety. She who belonged to him in her heart!


    It was unknown how long this process would take. Although he had never retreated from the battlefield, he did not even have the courage to move forward in front of her.


    "I sent word to the palace that you are not feeling well today! I have to take care of you in the Manor! " Yu Lingjing said lightly, but his indifference still remained in his words, his inviolable authority!


    Do you really know how to find excuses? Am I not feeling well? You cursed me. Why didn''t you say you weren''t feeling well? Maybe it''s just an excuse you want to give me! Qi Wan County silently cursed in his heart.


    "I''m fine? There''s nothing wrong with it? " Qilong pretended to be naive, her eyes staring straight at YuLing Jing, trying to not let go of any of the expression on his face? Let''s see how he''s going to end this, Yu Ling Jing, hur hur ¡ª


    Yu Lingjing knew that she was blaming herself for saying that she wasn''t feeling well. If it were an official, he would definitely come up with ten thousand excuses to make the girl happy.


    But he was Yu Ling Jing, a person who didn''t care to lie, nor did he care to lie. Although he knew Qi Wan County would be angry, he still didn''t want to lie to her? Regardless of his appearance or appearance, this prince was a dragon among men, a proud son of heaven. However, a girl had to be coaxed. He could not and would never be able to match up to the shadow of an official!


    He did not let her down. His eyes were also looking at her! where the four eyes meet, and no one gives in,


    At this time, the young maid, Liu Qi, came to report that the palace had sent an imperial physician to treat the wangfei!


    Yu Lingjing didn''t think that one of his unintentional lies would actually garner the attention of the emperor. He had actually sent an imperial physician? What kind of honor was this? However, he didn''t have the mood to experience these. He could only hope that his next diagnosis wouldn''t be missed. Was he trying to bully the sovereign?


    Thinking of this, he couldn''t help but worry a little. He used a pleading gaze to look at Qi Lan, but Qi Wan replied with a proud look, as if to say, "You''re cocky!" Let''s see how you''re going to end this.


    If you say ''humbly'' to me, perhaps I will make this lie for you in front of this court lady?


    Of course, Yu Lingjing understood what she meant. She immediately retracted her pleading gaze and switched it to a look of contempt. With a casual look, her mouth curved into a smile as she walked out! Qi Wanjun''s eyes opened wide as he thought, "Really? Well, grandaunt is waiting to see you ¡­?"


    She followed him! Hiding behind the screen at the side of the hall, listening to their conversation,


    "This official pays his respect to Your Highness!" The imperial physician in a green robe saw Yu Lingjing and immediately knelt down in salute.


    "Exempt the imperial physician!" "Please have a seat," Yu Lingjing said with a smile. She stretched out her arm, and every gesture she made was filled with his extraordinary aura!


    "The Emperor''s favor is vast and mighty!" The imperial physician smiled as he echoed her words, cupping his fists and pointing in the direction of the palace gates. The grace that the Emperor etched in his heart is not something that anyone can possess. "


    Yu Lingjing cupped his fists and pointed in the direction of the palace door, saying lightly, "This king is the emperor''s official! It is this king''s duty to help the emperor resolve his troubles. I must trouble Your Majesty to remember this in your heart. This king is truly flattered! " This swift and decisive Regent was neither humble nor arrogant no matter what happened. Qi Wan who was hiding at the side sighed!


    The imperial physician stroked his slightly graying beard and laughed out loud. "Prince is so modest!" It is truly a blessing for our Hao Yue Empire to have such a valiant and murderous wargod guarding us! "


    "Imperial Physician, you''re too kind!" Embarrassed! "I''m ashamed!"


    What? Embarrassed? Was this Yu Ling Jing? Was he still that arrogant and disrespectful Regent? Qi Wanxian pouted, his small face full of suspicion.


    In order to fight with the Crown Prince for courage, in order to survive, he had slowly broken away from the cold and aloof Yu Ling Jing of the past, and slowly moved closer to the schemer who pretended to be taking turns making preparations. It was as if this was a real Royal Prince!


    "I heard that wangfei is the sworn daughter of the Minister of the Left! She is the number one beauty in the capital, and the marriage between the prince and the princess was decided by the emperor himself. For the time being, he didn''t know what kind of medical skill this imperial physician had, but his flattering abilities were truly outstanding! Qi Wanjun chuckled. This was the first time she evaluated this imperial physician!


    "The imperial physician is joking!" He had always disregarded those who flattered and fawned over him, but today''s imperial physician was sent by the emperor! His every word and action represented the emperor, and he couldn''t just ignore them. It would cause a loss of face for the emperor, so he had no choice but to cater to him!


    "It is this old man''s fortune to be able to treat wangfei''s illness today! This old man has spoken too much today, I hope that you do not take offense to my words. " This old man is really cunning, he let you say everything you want to say. Yu Lingjing sighed to herself. This Jiang was indeed more experienced!


    "Where? Where? The imperial physician, please! My wife is resting in the back hall? " Yu Lingjing waved his arm, as if inviting the imperial physician into the back hall. However, his last sentence was clearly louder than the previous ones, he said it for Qi Lun County, how could her little tricks escape his eyes. He already knew that this mischievous little woman was hiding behind a screen!


    At the same time, Qi Wanxian heard the words, "My wife is resting in the back hall!" He immediately ran to the back of the hall quietly and took off his outer clothes, revealing only a set of white silk undergarments. He tore off the Golden Steps and the other accessories on his head and laid on the floor, pretending to feel uncomfortable.


    This series of actions made Liu Qi, who was watching the show, laugh out loud. Qi Xiao glared at her and made a "hush" gesture. That little girl finally stopped!


    Yu Lingjing walked over to the bed and was greatly surprised! This woman was putting on a decent act. Interesting! The corner of her mouth raised in a curve that no one else could see. It seems that I have underestimated her!


    That was only natural. In terms of scheming, although she couldn''t compare to Senior Sister, but her mind was far more shrewd than Senior Sister''s!


    Since you''ve played such a good role, my husband the king can''t let you down, can he? Thinking up to here, Yu Lingjing pretended to be worried, and sat on the collapsed chair, holding Qi Wanli in his arms. "My beloved concubine!" Love concubine! Are you better? "


    Qi Wanxian grinned as he opened his eyes. He blinked and made a face! Yu Lingjing held back the laughter in his heart and said worriedly, "You should lie down first! Your royal brother sent the imperial physician to diagnose you of your illness! " Yu Lingjing said as he tightly pinched Qi Dian County with his arm, indicating that she should behave!


    The imperial physician walked over and stroked his beard. He looked at the beautiful woman with the willowy eyebrows and the skin that seemed frozen, lying there with her eyes closed. She was as beautiful as if she were from a painting.


    Qi Wanjun slowly opened his eyes and looked at the Imperial Physician with his dim eyes. He said weakly, "I''ll have to trouble Imperial Physician Yun!" Cough cough? "


    The imperial physician smiled back at her and placed his right hand on the woman''s wrist to feel her pulse! However, this pulse seemed to be stable at times, almost like it could be seen at any time. Was it really that strange? The imperial physician frowned as he thought, but couldn''t find the cause? The imperial physician couldn''t believe he couldn''t find out the cause of the disease. Even though he couldn''t compare to the medical saint, Ruan Qing, he was still the capital''s best imperial physician! How could that be?


    Seeing the Imperial Physician''s expression, Yu Lingjing had a bad premonition. This premonition had something to do with the woman lying on the ground, so he couldn''t help but look carefully at the expression on the Imperial Physician''s face. He was indeed very worried about this little girl, but she was clearly still ¡­ Yu Lingjing was filled with doubts!


    Helpless, the imperial physician summoned up the courage to take another pulse. It was the same effect as before! He dejectedly stood up, shook his head, and weakly said while cupping his fists, "Forgive this old man for being unable to do anything! Your Highness must have invited someone else! " He left without turning back. Before Yu Lingjing could ask him, he had already disappeared!


    Seeing the woman lying on the floor, Yu Ling Jing''s face was full of worry!


    "..."

 C44

    Hearing the sound of footsteps getting farther and farther away, Qi Wanshi determined that the Imperial Physician had already walked far away. His eyes quickly opened, and a strange light flashed across his eyes. The corner of his mouth slightly raised into a charming smile.


    This speed, this expression, how did it look like he had just been lying on the ground, dying.


    Liu Qi laughed out loud.


    Yu Ling Jing''s eyes were wide open, as though he was in a dream, and he couldn''t believe what he was seeing. He walked up to Qi Wanxian and gently touched her forehead with his hand. He then placed her wrist on his left hand and placed his right hand on her pulse. Her pulse was calm and normal.


    But it was very strange. Just now, the imperial physician said he was powerless to help and had his lordship invite someone else. He really thought that his newly wedded wangfei was suffering from some incurable illness.


    Not only did Yu Lingjing train a steel-like willpower during the arduous battle, but he also forced himself to learn a bit of medical skills in that environment where doctors were lacking and medicine was lacking.


    In order to survive, he had suffered all sorts of hardships. Although the Hao Yue Empire was somewhat selfish, a useless official who only cared about the lives of the commoners and did not do any actual work, became the worm of the entire empire.


    But the imperial physicians were facing imperial concubines and imperial relatives outside the palace. Moreover, the imperial physician this time had been sent by the emperor, and he was the best imperial physician in the entire imperial court.


    "What about the wangfei? Is everything okay? " Yu Lingjing gave a cold snort and stared at Qi Wanli with a strange expression. Could this woman have used some strange trick? How could she have even tricked the imperial physician? From beginning to end, his gaze did not escape Qi Shu County''s agile and strange eyes.


    She smiled arrogantly as she took out a black bottle from her waist with her small white hand and opened the bottle stopper, pouring out a small pill the size of a fingernail, "This is called Tranquil Heart Pill, after taking it, her face immediately turned pale, and her pulse immediately went from strong to weak, almost as if it had disappeared. Anyone who did not understand the situation would think that she has some sort of incurable disease. However, its flaw is that its medicinal effects will only last for half an incense stick of time. After that half an incense stick of time, the effects will immediately disappear. "


    "Is this thing really that magical?" Yu Ling Scene had dominated the battlefield for more than ten years, but he had never heard of any Soothing Heart Pill? His eyes stared straight at it, in disbelief.


    "How come I''ve never heard of such a thing?" Yu Ling Jing didn''t dare to say that he had seen all the rare treasures and elixirs in the world, but he had seen most of them. Even if he hadn''t seen them, he would have heard of them. But now ¡­


    Seeing Yu Lingjing''s skeptical attitude, Qi Wanli said proudly, "This Soothing Heart Pill was developed by the legendary medical saint, Ruan Qingyan, who was brought back to life from the dead with superb medical skills."


    "Is it really that magical?" Yu Ling Jing still couldn''t believe it.


    "If Your Highness doesn''t believe me? you can give it a try? " Was this an insult to his good friend Ruan Qingyan? She had to seek justice for her and pass the brown pill to Yu Lingjing with a provocative expression.


    Even if it was a miracle medicine, this king would not bother to give it a try. What''s more, this small Sedan Heart Pill, Yu Ling Jing used a disdainful gaze to look at Qi Wan County as he handed it over. He said lightly, "No need. Since it is a masterpiece of the Medical Saint, This King believes so. "


    At least you''re sensible.


    Since the imperial physician had diagnosed and treated an incurable illness, he believed that he would definitely report it to the emperor when he returned. In that case? This was even more troublesome. Thinking of this, a hint of worry flashed across Yu Ling Jing''s eyes.


    The beautiful figure outside the window could clearly see everything within the room. Angry, "This woman really deserves to die. will only cause trouble for the prince. "


    "..."


    After noon, the colorful flowers in the garden became even more colorful in the sunlight. Not a landscape.


    Qi Wanxian felt that today he had made a name for himself in front of Yu Ling Jing, and he was in a very good mood. He brought Liu Qi along for a walk in the garden at the back of the courtyard. Although this palace was not as grand and classical as the palace, it was still several times stronger than the palace of the Minister of the Left.


    "It looks like you''re living quite a comfortable life, wangfei?" Along with a burst of clear and bright laughter, Qi Wanli looked back and said, "Senior Sister."


    When Qing Mo Xue saw Liu Qi, the young maid that was standing behind Qi Wan, she gave her Junior Sister a look and immediately said, "Liu Qi." I have a few words with senior sister, you can stand down. "


    Liu Qi politely bowed to the wangfei before leaving with a smile.


    Seeing Liu Qi''s figure getting further and further away, Qing Mo Xue said, "Seems like this little girl is very considerate, and she doesn''t seem like someone with schemes."


    Qi Dian gently replied, "Senior Sister is right. Right now, she is the person I trust the most in this palace. "


    "Senior Sister." Just the two of us. Tell me, how''s the investigation going? " Qi Wanjun impatiently asked. She really wanted to know more about that woman in red.


    "Hong Kou''s original name was Su Yan. He was originally a family of generals. His father, Su Gang, was the former head of your family''s Regent King. In one battle, in order to cover up the fact that your prince had been injured by the enemy''s poison arrows, before he died, he had entrusted his only concern to the Regent, his daughter. The Regent had raised her in the palace, and though she was a servant, she had the treatment of a young lady. Watching her grow up, not only was she enchanting, beautiful, meticulous, and resourceful, she not only took care of your prince, but she also did a lot of things for him. Slowly becoming your prince''s confidante, if ¡­


    At this point, an awkward expression appeared on Qing Mo Xue''s face. She couldn''t bear to continue. On the way here just now, she had been thinking about whether to tell all of the facts to Junior Martial Sister. She was worried about her, afraid that she wouldn''t be able to take it. But if he didn''t tell her, with his Junior Sister''s personality, she would find out sooner or later. When the time came, he would definitely blame her for hiding it from him.


    This slight movement from Qing Mo Xue did not escape her eyes. She pulled Qing Mo Xue''s hand and said with a faint smile, "Senior Sister." I''ve always treated you as my own sister, my real sister? How could he hide the truth from his own sister? Tell me the truth. "


    Since she would find out sooner or later, he might as well tell her now to be on her guard.


    "If you didn''t marry her, she might have been the princess." Qing Mo Xue looked at the stiff expression on her Junior Martial Sister''s face and forced a smile. It was obvious that she was in a lot of discomfort.


    She pulled Qi Wanxian into her arms and said with a pained heart, "If you feel uncomfortable, just cry." Qi Wanxian, who was in her arms, tried hard not to let her tears fall, but they still failed to fall. He didn''t know when, but he actually cared about Yu Ling Jing, afraid that others would snatch him away.


    "Senior Sister." So their relationship was really delicate? What about me? What am I? "


    "Silly girl. No matter what, you are the famous princess consort. Even a soulmate would have to take you into consideration, right? "


    With regards to her Junior Sister, who she had grown up with, Qing Mo Xue knew her too well. She knew that her junior sister''s marriage to Yu Ling Jing wasn''t purely for revenge, but because she liked her in her heart. It''s just that Junior Sister''s strong personality prevents her from lowering her head in front of others. Even if she loves someone, she wouldn''t tell him before I''m completely confident, and even if others misunderstand her, she wouldn''t explain. It was just that this kind of junior sister really made one''s heart ache?


    "Are my eyes blurring? What did I see? " At this time, a man wearing a blue robe with his chest half open saw a girl in a purple dress and a woman in a white robe hugging each other. He thought he was seeing things and that the two women were hugging each other. The shadow official immediately rubbed his eyes and looked over. This time, he was sure that he did not see wrongly.


    Then he walked over with a ''haha'' expression, "Beautiful girl. Have you held enough? "


    Qing Mo Xue immediately let go of Qi Wan County in her arms. Qi Wan County used her sleeve to gently wipe away her tears. She embarrassedly walked away and stood to the side. From the looks of it, Yu Ling Jing''s wife seemed to have just cried, so the official pointed at her and asked Qing Mo Xue, "She? "What''s wrong?"


    Qing Mo Xue''s face was filled with anger as she glared at Shangguan Qing Ying, and coldly said, "You men. "None of them are good."


    "None of us men are good?" The official repeated the same sentence, "Eh? What does that have to do with me? " Hearing this, Shadow felt that this Yu Ling Jing''s wife must have suffered some sort of grievance from my family''s War God.


    He walked in front of Qi Wanxian and patted her arm, still looking as annoying as before. "Aiyo? Did he cry? I said, War God''s wife? If you suffer any grievances, tell Mom to me, Mom, and I will go clean up our family''s War God. "


    "Guan Guying. Stop being so disgusting to my Junior Sister. "Then where are you going to stay?" As Qing Mo Xue spoke, she pulled away Shangguan Ying Ying. The official wasn''t able to stand still and staggered before falling down on his back.


    "Disgusting? "You." The official who fell on the ground raised his arm and said this. He was so happy that Qing Mo Xue laughed out loud. Qi Wanli''s mouth also curved into a smile.


    "I say, young master official?" "You''re really in the wrong life. If you were to become a woman in your next life, you would definitely be the number one person in the brothel." At this moment, it was as if Qi County had forgotten about her sadness. At this moment, she was really envious of her Senior Sister. Although this young master of the Shangguan family was a merciful person, did he bring happiness to her? As for himself, ever since he had married into the palace, he had been plotted against everywhere in the Royal family. There were traps everywhere, and even when he slept and ate, his words would be monitored?


    If she could, she hoped that she could be like her senior and follow a free and uninhibited man, roam the martial world, or live in seclusion in the forest. In short, she wished to live a simple and happy life far from the capital, even if it was the sunrise, or the sunset. At least he was very comfortable, very comfortable.


    Now that she had recovered her composure, Qi Wan County no longer cared about anything else. Closing her eyes, she stretched out her arms and raised her head to enjoy the sunlight. At this moment, she did not want to think about anything else, nor did she want to hate anyone. Let the deepest part of your heart follow the clouds in the sky to roam the sky.

    In the evening, the setting sun shone like the great earth, and the entire capital was covered with a golden veil that resembled the wings of a cicada. The great earth was covered with a mysterious color.


    In the study of the Regent''s Manor, Yu Lingjing spoke with a somber expression, "It looks like I won''t need to attend the assembly anymore." The woman in red, Hong Kou, stood to the side. Of course, he understood what the Prince meant. It was all due to that woman, but at this moment, she pretended that she didn''t understand and looked at the prince, "I don''t know why Your Highness is saying this?"


    Yu Lingjing sighed and said lightly, "After breakfast, the emperor sent an imperial physician to treat Princess Wangfei when he heard she wasn''t feeling well?" Who knew ¡ª "Yu Lingjing would never have thought that her unintentional words would become the reason for that woman''s plot. I''m afraid that the following scene will only get more and more intense. The Emperor will also ask about this.


    "Who knew that the imperial physician was helpless against it?" "I''m afraid that the Emperor ¡­" Yu Lingjing still knew that Qi Wan County feigned illness to take revenge on him, but the current situation was no longer as he had expected. How could he have thought that his words about the princess being unwell would be valued so much by the current emperor''s own imperial brother? How could he have imagined that not only would that woman play this part, but would also think that she was terminally ill, using such a deceitful medicine to deceive the imperial physician? Right now, it was impossible to stop halfway. If the Emperor were to report that the imperial concubine was not sick, then he would be cheating on the Emperor. The crime of cheating on the Emperor could be big or small, and the punishment would be nine familial extermination. At best, he had lost his life or demoted himself to a civilian because a joke was not worth it.


    Since there was no way out, he could only continue to play as planned. He hoped that there wouldn''t be any delay in the play to avoid the sound of the wind blowing.


    "Oh? I wonder if it''s an imperial concubine? " Hong Kui had a flirtatious expression as he looked at the prince with his watery eyes and asked gently.


    "She''s all right. "It''s just that she used a pill to fool the imperial physician." Yu Ling Jing said coldly, his eyes filled with hesitation and helplessness.


    "How could this wangfei be so insensible?" Doesn''t she know that this is bullying the sovereign? " Since the Prince told her the whole story, she didn''t have to pretend in front of him anymore. She had always hated that woman, so how could she let go of this opportunity?


    "Hong Kou." Yu Ling Jing said coldly, his cold eyes staring at the woman in front of him who he had once held in his hands. He didn''t know why, but even if she, Qi Wanli, had many faults, he still wouldn''t allow outsiders ¡­


    "Pay attention to your identity." Yu Lingjing''s tone eased a bit and became a bit gentler, but to Hong Kou, the previous prince held her in his hands and never said a single harsh word to her. But now, that woman came, and not only had the prince been snatched away by her, even his heart had been taken away by her.


    Hong Kou sneered, "Yes. This servant naturally knew his own identity. "It''s just that I feel heartache for the prince ¡­"


    Her lips that had been bitten were covered in blood, and the tears in her eyes slowly rolled down. However, the pain in her heart was far more painful than this pain. As if rubbing salt in her cut, Yu Ling Jing looked at Hong Kou''s wronged expression, blood trickling down from the corner of his mouth. He felt that his words were a bit too harsh. He slowly took out a silk handkerchief embroidered with peonies from his sleeve, handed it to Hong Kou, and accepted the handkerchief. He fell into deep thought ¡­


    That year, when the peach blossoms were in full bloom, outside the city gates.


    "My lord. This handkerchief is for you. In the future when he was lonely on the battlefield, would he look at it? Would he, Hong Ke, be by his side? Your Highness will not be lonely, you will not be lonely. "


    "Right." Yu Lingjing took the handkerchief, mounted the horse, and left.


    Looking at the prince''s handsome and free figure, Hong Kou had a face full of happiness. From that time onwards, her wish was to always be by his side. She was even willing to be his concubine.


    "..."


    In the study room, Hong Kou looked at the handkerchief in his hand and sneered in his heart. He could not help but sigh. The handkerchief was still there, Hong Kou was still there, and the prince was no longer there. He was no longer the prince who held everything in his heart. With an imperial concubine, his heart ¡­


    This awkward anger lasted for a long time. Yu Lingjing wanted to extend his arm to comfort Hong Ke, but his arm suddenly stopped in midair. From the beginning to the end, he had always treated her like his sister. He had never thought about it in any other way. He did not want to hurt this beautiful and kind girl in front of him.


    "If there is nothing wrong with Your Highness? Then, Hong Kou will take his leave first. " Hong Kou wanted to end this awkward atmosphere, wanting to leave this place and find a place to ease his emotions.


    "Right." Yu Lingjing didn''t know what to say at this moment.


    Hong Ke bowed to the prince and walked out.


    Hong Kou held the handkerchief tightly in his hand as he walked. He did not wipe the tears from his eyes and even told her that this handkerchief was a memory, a souvenir worth collecting. At this moment, Hong Kou felt a sense of loss in his heart that he had never felt before. In this world, ever since her father passed away, she had treated the prince as everything in her life. She never thought that the prince would leave him, perhaps I was being too selfish, but in front of feelings, who wouldn''t be selfish?


    As he looked to the sky, a pair of large geese began to fly past him in a row. Hong Kou sneered. It turned out that he was inferior to even a large geese. And they were a couple, if not a couple, then free? As for me ¡­


    At this time, Qi Xiang and Liu Qi came towards them. Seeing this woman, Hong Kou couldn''t bear to kill her with a single slash. Without her, perhaps the Prince would have changed his mind and become the true mistress of the Prince''s estate. Hong Kou''s bloodthirsty eyes glowered at Qi Wan County, who was getting closer and closer. He clenched his fist, and the poisoned pocket-sized dagger quickly slipped from his sleeve to his right hand ¡­


    "Is Miss Hong Kou well?" Qi Dian looked at the pretty face, black hair, and a slender figure. The red bandit dressed in red was like a fairy who had left the mortal world as he took the initiative to call out to her. If she wasn''t with Yu Ling Jing, if she wasn''t the one spying on her, then she would still like the mysterious person that spied on her a lot. Until now, she still had a sliver of fantasy in her heart and hoped that she wasn''t the enemy of Yu Ling Jing.


    At the same time, Hong Kou never would have expected that the high and mighty wangfei would not mind her status and would take the initiative to speak to her. In the end, she suppressed her impulsive thoughts, because if she was the calmest and most rational woman under normal circumstances, then today, because of the prince ¡­


    Hong Kui secretly withdrew the dagger in his right hand, and looked at Qi Wanli with an unfriendly gaze. "Isn''t the wangfei well?" "Why are you here?"


    The relationship between Yu Ling Jing and her was really out of the ordinary. Why did he always tell her everything? This Hong Kou was really his best friend. Qi Wanli silently sneered in his heart. Just as he wanted to curse Yu Lingjing, he was startled by what Hong Kou said next.


    "May I ask Your Highness if you love Your Highness?"


    Qi Wan County was stunned. She never thought that this Hong Kou would be so insolent. No matter what, he was still an imperial concubine. She didn''t know that it wasn''t that Hong Kou was being arrogant, but he was angry. In her heart, whoever harmed the king was her enemy. Naturally, she wouldn''t be polite when facing her enemy.


    "Me? "Of course I love you, your highness." She was just about to say that whether I love him or not has nothing to do with you, but Hong Kou beat her to it.


    Hong Kou sneered, "What did the princess say?"


    "Why are you talking to the princess like that?" The one that shouldn''t have come from Qi Wan County had actually been snatched away by Liu Qi.


    Hong Qi didn''t pay any attention to Liu Qi, and her angry eyes were staring at Qi Wan County. Her attitude was as if she were a wangfei and Qi Wan was a servant girl. Did wangfei use some good method to deceive the imperial physician with a small pill? When the imperial physician returned, he would definitely report it to the emperor. And here you are, Princess. Do you know how much trouble this will bring to the prince? The King is guilty of bullying the King. " Hong Kou glanced at Qi Shu County and said coldly.


    Qi Wanli had just said something when Hong Qi was already far away.


    Qi Wan County did not blame Hong Kou for his rudeness, only saying, "The prince is the crime of deceiving the monarch." He lingered by the side of his ears all this time, then returned to his room and lay down on the carved red wood. He closed his eyes, filtering through his mind every detail of the Imperial Physician''s departure, thinking about every detail.


    Suddenly, Qi Dian opened his eyes, and said with a face full of self-blame, "I was too rash. "All I want is to go against Yu Ling Jing, and ¡­" This man probably already knew that he should have discussed countermeasures with Hong Kou. I''ve really gotten Yu Lingjing into trouble, what can I do to help him?


    Finally, he came up with a countermeasure. Taking advantage of the darkening sky, he put on some night clothes and arrived at the wall of the prince''s mansion with a handsome and light movement technique. He carefully walked along the wall to the outside of the mansion.


    They found the room where Ruan Qingyan was and sneaked in. Ruan Qingyan, who had just fallen asleep, asked about the light footsteps outside and knew that someone was visiting. In a flash, she appeared behind the door.


    After a fierce battle, both sides felt that the other side did not have any intention of harming them. Perhaps it was one of their own, Qi Shu took off the black cloth covering her face and said softly, "Qing Yan is me."


    Hearing the familiar gentle voice, Ruan Qingyan lit up the lamp as she asked in surprise, "What''s wrong?" It''s you? "


    Qi Wanshi picked up a teacup and poured himself a cup of tea, gulping it down in one gulp. He sat down on a chair and said, "This is a long story. Sit down and listen to what I have to say."


    Seeing her good friend Qi Wanjun being so serious, Ruan Qingyan guessed that she must have run into some trouble, so she sat on the chair. Qi Wanli told the whole story to Ruan Qingyan.


    "So that''s how it is. It seems like the Regent won''t be able to sleep tonight. " Ruan Qingyan laughed coldly and said, "It''s all my fault. I don''t want to implicate him. " Seeing her anxious good friend, Ruan Qingyan held her hand with a face full of confidence, "Don''t worry. What about me? "


    Saying that, she took out a black pill from her sleeve and gave it to Qi Wanli, "After you go back, take it. It will only take six hours for it to take effect. During this period of time, you need to restrain yourself and continue feigning illness. Leave the rest to me. "


    Returning to the manor, Yu Lingjing still hadn''t returned. He didn''t go to court, but his military affairs didn''t slow him down. He busied himself until late at night, and Qi Wanxian smoothly ate the medicine before lying down on the bed.

 C46

    When Yu Ling Jing came back, Qi Shu County had already fallen asleep. This was the second time she slept so well in the prince''s mansion, and the first time was on the night of her wedding. Yu Lingjing had given her a feeling of security she had never felt before, which was why she slept so well. Tonight, he had helped him solve a difficult problem. Of course, this problem was caused by her, so now that he had solved it, he felt more at ease.


    Everything was planned, and things were going according to plan. Of course, there was no need to tell Yujingjing about the strong and conceited Qi Wan County.


    Lying on the bed, Yu Ling Jing didn''t feel that sleepy. Although he and Hong Kou had discussed the countermeasures, he was still a bit worried. This woman often did not play her cards according to common sense, and he never knew when this woman would create an unexpected situation for him.


    He wanted to indulge and protect her. It was just that he didn''t know how to protect her or himself. What happened next, he was already prepared to react to.


    Looking at Qi Shu sleeping like a kitten, Yu Ling Jing felt a sense of happiness that he had never felt before. He extended his arms and embraced the beautiful figure before him, the corners of his mouth curving upwards as he slowly closed his eyes.


    The morning sunlight shone through the window into the room. The chirping of the parrot outside woke the two of them from their dreams.


    "Greetings, young master official." A maidservant dressed in light pink looked at the square metal frame in her hand. Inside the frame was the image of a small animal, similar to a bird. She then bowed.


    The official then revealed a smiling face, "Where is my family''s War God?"


    "Young master Guan, please rest in the front hall. I''ll see you again when my prince gets up and changes his clothes."


    Hearing the voices outside, the two people inside the room smiled at each other and then changed their clothes. Although Yu Lingjing was a proud and aloof prince, he was not used to being served by others. From the moment his mother''s wife died until now, he had always taken care of himself. Just as he had said, he was still a warrior. Since he was a warrior, he could take care of himself and others.


    Qi Wan County was a woman of the martial arts world, so they didn''t care about these small details.


    "Aiyo?" "My lord, you finally decided to come out?" Seeing Yu Lingjing walk out, the official smiled and went up to her. However, his eyes were focused on the room. Was he looking for something?


    Yu Lingjing looked at him with disdain as he watched the official act, and in the end, her gaze fell on the parrot in his hand. When this cute little thing saw such a handsome and handsome man, it said, "Greetings, Your Highness. "Greetings, Your Highness."


    Who was speaking? Yu Ling Jing was filled with doubts, he looked around and saw that other than the two maidservants, the one speaking was himself. However, this voice was sharp, thin and short, not like a human''s voice. He once again locked his gaze onto this little thing that looked similar to a bird.


    "Greetings, Your Highness."


    "Greetings, Your Highness."


    Or could he not believe that this thing could speak human language?


    "My lord? You don''t have to look. It''s this little thing that''s talking. It took me an entire morning of training to learn these four words. "How stupid."


    "Stupid."


    "Stupid."


    The shadow of the official opened his eyes wide and looked at it. He raised his right hand and said furiously, "You dare to scold me? See if I beat you to death. "


    "Beat you to death."


    "Beat you to death."


    Everyone began to laugh. At this time, Qi Shu also walked out. She was attracted by this little thing''s voice. The official smiled obscenely at Qijin Jun, "Did you rest well last night? "Beautiful women."


    Qi Wanshi was not able to say anything before he was interrupted.


    "Beautiful girl."


    "Beautiful girl."


    As she focused her attention on this colorful little thing, the corners of her mouth curled up as she chuckled, extending her finger to tease it.


    You lecherous parrot? I''ve only taught you four words this morning. You don''t need to be taught when you see beautiful women. " "As he spoke, he scolded the officials.


    "You''re so lustful."


    "You''re so lustful."


    While scolding, he patted the cage with his hand. The little thing jumped and shouted.


    "Someone''s going to die."


    "Someone''s going to die."


    Everyone burst out laughing, and even Yu Lingjing, who was not smiling, raised a smile.


    Suddenly, Qi Wanshi felt his vision go black, and then he lost consciousness.


    When she woke up again, she was already lying on the collapsed bed. Her eyes were lifeless and her face was pale. Seeing that she had awoken, Wang Chao immediately gave her a pulse. It was just that this time, her pulse was as weak as if it had never existed. Yu Lingjing''s expression suddenly turned grave.


    The corner of Qi Wan County''s mouth raised into a faint smile. "I''m fine." She knew that it was definitely the effect of the pill. From last night until now, it had already been six hours. Although Qi Wan County felt somewhat uncomfortable, but for Yu Ling Jing, for his own fault, he didn''t complain.


    "Oh? "Which prince''s wife would you like me to bring flowers for you?" He rarely spoke normally, and it seemed like he had something to hide.


    "Your Highness, please help me get a doctor. I have something to discuss with Young Master Guan."


    "Sure." As he spoke, Yu Lingjing walked out. Before leaving, she didn''t forget to turn around to take a look.


    "Where''s my senior sister?" Qi Wan County had long guessed that it was related to her senior apprentice sister.


    "Mo Xue received a letter from your master earlier this morning and left. Before she left, she asked me to give this to you." As he spoke, he handed over the cute little thing. "Oh? There is also a letter that your Senior Sister left for you. "


    Qi Shu glanced at the little thing, and took the letter from the official in one hand, opened it and read it ¡­


    "My junior sister is doing well. Please forgive me for being unable to live with you. With my understanding of the emperor, I will definitely ask him about your matters. He will come visit you later." I''ll help you find a famous doctor. This talkative parrot is a treasure that I obtained when I roamed the world a few years ago. You only need to teach it six words to help you through this crisis. Please remember these six words. Senior Sister Mo Qingxue. "


    "Thank you, young master." At this moment, he seemed to have understood why his senior sister was moved by this sloppy playboy. It turned out that underneath his lopsided appearance was a fiery and sincere heart.


    The official shrugged his shoulders and said with a mischievous smile, "This young master was only entrusted with this task by someone. I can''t bear to see you women crying like this." "I''m leaving." With that, he placed the little thing on the table and walked out.


    Qi Wanjun stared at it, then called out to it the six words left behind by her senior sister.


    An hour later, Yu Lingjing led a doctor carrying a medicine box in.


    The doctor sat down and took her pulse. He looked at her tongue and skin color. He walked up to Yu Ling Jing and cupped his fists. "Princess Wang Fei''s illness? There''s nothing I can do. I hope that Your Highness can invite someone else. " He shook his head and left.


    "Liu Qi."


    "Liu Qi."


    Yu Ling Jing roared loudly, the echo lingering in the room, as though it was going to shake the whole palace.


    "Your Highness." Liu Qi came in and squatted down to pay her respects to the prince. "Take good care of the wangfei."


    "Yes." "My lord."


    A handsome figure riding on a horse arrived in front of a luxurious mansion. He glanced at the two words "government" on the black wood in front of the gate and then quickly dismounted and walked inside.


    "Guan Yuanzhong, where''s Ruan Qingyan?" Yu Ling Jing rushed into Shangguan Ying''s room, and grabbed the official lying on the bed.


    "War God? You''re so rough. How can I lose weight? " The official had an ambiguous expression on his face. Those who did not know what was going on would think that it was a couple flirting with each other just based on their words.


    "I''ll say it again, where is Ruan Qingyan?" Yu Ling Jing glared angrily at Shangguan Ying. He looked at the unorthodox manner of Guan Ying and felt as if he wanted to eat him up. Seeing that the War God was really angry, Guan Yuanzhi slowly said, "Ruan Qingyan? She has already left. "


    "When did you leave? "Where are you going?" Yu Lingjing did not believe that Ruan Qingyan would ask him this right at this crucial moment.


    "She''s probably the only one who left this morning ¡­"


    When Yu Lingjing heard Ruan ask Yan to leave, she quickly turned and left.


    Looking at Yu Ling Jing''s back, Shangguan Siying said in a relaxed manner, "He hasn''t finished speaking yet? "Really, I hate it."


    After returning to the manor, he dismounted from his horse and ran into Hong Kou, "What happened to Your Highness?"


    "The princess is sick." Yu Ling Jing replied, and immediately went to Qi Wan County''s room.


    Seeing the prince''s anxious back, Hong Kou placed his left arm on his stomach and his right hand on his chin, and said after thinking for a while, "Is he really sick? Or was it a fake disease? Did I scare her yesterday? "


    At this moment, the steward and a group of doctors neatly filed in, preparing to treat the wangfei.


    Standing at the side, Yu Chen Chen saw the doctors shaking their heads as they left. The hope ignited in her heart instantly fell from heaven to hell? Could it be that this little woman''s illness was truly incurable? Was that the end of his relationship with her? Why was Ruan Qingyan not around at this time? Was this heaven''s will? Yu Lingjing walked over with hurried steps. This was the first time in his life that he had been so impatient and impatient.


    After sending off the last doctor, Yu Lingjing collapsed on a chair beside Qi Wanli. He held her hand with a solemn expression on his face, "I''m sure." "Think of a way to cure you."


    Qi Wanjun powerlessly nodded her head. This was all part of the plan, and she was not worried about her illness, as all of this was just an act. She had Senior Sister Zhuge Qing Mo Xue who was in the midst of her daughter to scheme for her, and with the aid of the Medical Saint, Ruan Qing Yan, secretly helping her, what was she to worry about?


    However, when she saw how worried he looked, she couldn''t help but feel sorry for him. She couldn''t help but want to tell him. However, in order to make this performance even more lifelike, she had to make everyone, especially the person sitting on the throne, believe that she had no choice but to hide it from him.


    Under the dim light of the night, only the dim light of the missing moon could be seen hanging in the sky. Even the stars had been hidden away. This kind of darkness would make people feel sad.

 C47

    "Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"


    "Everyone, please rise."


    With a wave of Yu Lingxuan''s arm, all of the ministers neatly lined up in two rows to one side.


    "Why isn''t there a Regent in the imperial court today?" Yu Lingxuan looked at the ministers and asked whether it was intentional or not. How could he not know about the matter of the Regent''s wife? It seemed like it was an accident, but there was a hidden mystery behind it? This was a good opportunity to see who the Regent was on good terms with and whether he had formed a clique.


    How could these ministers not understand the hidden meaning behind these words? They looked at each other, and everyone knew that the Regent''s wife was sick, but no one was willing to stand up for her. As the saying goes, a companion of a king was like a tiger. If someone said something wrong and lost their official position, they might even lose their life.


    After a moment of silence, someone finally appeared.


    "Reporting to Your Majesty, this humble subject has heard that the regent''s wife is suffering from an incurable illness. Your highness is currently burning with anxiety." Following the voice, it was a burly man who looked like a military officer. He stood up and cupped his fists as he spoke.


    "Oh? "I almost forgot about that. I even sent an imperial physician to diagnose the illness a few days ago?" Yu Lingxuan acted as if he had awoken from a dream and was suddenly enlightened. He looked towards the eunuch at the side, his face full of doubt. "How did that imperial physician reply to me?"


    The eunuch was stunned, a shrill voice rang out, "This humble subject deserves to die, this humble subject is powerless."


    "It seems so?" The Regent Princess is quite ill, let''s go and take a look. " Yu Lingfeng''s words were clearly directed towards the eunuch at the side, who smiled and nodded his head.


    When he heard that his father was going to the Regent''s Estate, Imperial Wintry, who was standing amongst the ministers, swept a displeased gaze with his eyes as he coldly said, "Imperial Aunt has her own destiny. Why must I trouble Imperial Father to come in person?"


    Yu Lingxuan cast a fierce glance at Imperial Wintry, and cursed in his heart, "You bastard!" Wasn''t it blatantly offending the Regent in front of the Minister of State? In the imperial court, you, as the Crown Prince, must pay attention to your own words and actions. Each and every one of your actions, each and every one of your actions, not only represents yourself, but also representing me, representing the entire Luminous Moon Empire. Furthermore, this is a good opportunity for us to win the hearts of our subordinates. Even you have to obstruct us, truly ¡­


    I can''t even be bothered to talk about you, sigh.


    "The emperor is benevolent and compassionate towards his subordinates. This is a blessing from this subject." At this time, the military official who had just spoken loudly knelt down, and the other officials followed suit and kneeled down as well.


    "The Emperor is merciful."


    "Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"


    The Crown Prince, Yu Hanfeng, saw that the Minister had knelt down and knelt down helplessly with a stern face.


    This flattery came at just the right time. Yu Lingxuan''s smile was as brilliant as a blossoming flower.


    "Withdraw."


    "..."


    Although the weather outside was sunny and sunny, the Regent''s Estate had a gloomy and depressing atmosphere.


    A handsome man with bloodshot eyes was sitting deep within the bed, holding the hand of a sickly yet still beautiful and beautiful woman with closed eyes. It was obvious that he cared a lot about her.


    "My lord. It''s time for breakfast. " A servant girl wearing light green clothes slowly walked over. She squatted down and said with a pained expression on her face. She was the servant girl that the prince trusted the most besides Hong Kou.


    "You can go down first. This King cannot eat it. " The woman he cared about now was lying on a sickly corpse fighting with death. How could he eat her?


    "But Your Highness, you haven''t rested for the entire night? How can your body bear it? " Luro said gently, and her voice showed concern for her master from the bottom of her heart.


    Yu Lingjing did not say anything else. At the moment, he wished that he was the one lying on top of the collapse instead of Qi''er County. Qi Wanxian out of a muddled state of mind, a dreamy awake consciousness. Regarding her hazy state, other than sleeping for two hours every day and acting like this, Ruan Qingyan did not tell her about this point. She was afraid that she would take care of Ling Jing because she felt sorry for him, and only if she did not know about this would she be able to make him reveal his true feelings.


    This was Ruan Qingyan''s reasoning. Because she had underestimated the love of the world, and because human nature was cold and warm, only she was clear-headed while everyone was in a blurry state. In truth, Ruan Qingyan did not go far, she was just hiding in a corner that others could not see, and was looking for an opportunity to help Qi Lan. After Qi Lan returned from her place that night, she ran to Qing Mo Xue''s room and the two discussed the plan, but it was all part of the plan.


    I don''t know how long it was silent. I don''t know how long Luro stood next to Yu Ling Jing. At this time, the maidservant Liu Qi came to report, "Prince, there''s a guest at home. He said he''s your brother?"


    "This King''s brother? "Your majesty?" Yu Lingjing finally came to her senses and hurriedly stood up. She straightened her clothes, tidied up her messy hair and hurried out. Lu Luo followed the prince out, leaving only Liu Qi staring with her eyes and pouting with a face full of doubt.


    "Your Imperial Majesty is lucky."


    "Your Imperial Majesty is lucky."


    The little parrot, which was sitting on the table by the window, cried out twice. Liu Qi glanced at it and burst out laughing.


    "Xiao Chen did not know that the emperor had arrived, and did not welcome him from afar. I hope that you can forgive me, your majesty." Yu Lingjing looked at the middle-aged man in navy robes and immediately knelt down.


    It was no wonder that the maidservants didn''t recognize him. The emperor had already sent out a patrol squad. Without knowing his identity, no one would know him.


    Yu Lingxuan laughed and quickly helped Yu Ling Jing up, "Royal brother, please get up. "I''ve only brought one eunuch with me this time."


    Yu Lingjing glanced at the eunuch behind Yu Lingxuan. That eunuch smiled and took two steps forward, "Your servant greets Your Highness."


    "Eunuch, please forgive me."


    "Royal brother, don''t worry. This emperor came to visit the imperial concubine." May I know who''s the imperial concubine? "


    "Your Majesty, please." As he spoke, he waved his arm, inviting the two of them into the inner hall.


    As soon as Yu Lingxuan stepped into the room, he saw a sleeping beauty wearing white silk clothing lying on top of a collapsed bed. Her posture was like ice and snow, so beautiful that no one dared to look at her directly. Her silky black hair was scattered along her ears around her collar. This kind of beauty caused even the unsightly Yu Lingxuan to sigh with emotion. Just as he wanted to walk in and carefully look at this so-called sister-in-law, he was attracted by a sharp and hasty shout ¡ª


    "Your Imperial Majesty is lucky."


    "Your Imperial Majesty is lucky."


    Yu Lingxuan looked at this bird-like little thing in astonishment. As he looked at the two people beside him, that expression undoubtedly told the people around him that he was puzzled.


    "Your Majesty, don''t blame me. It''s the sound that came from this animal. " When Yu Lingjing saw the suspicious look on Yu Lingxuan''s face, she felt as surprised as if she had seen this beast before.


    "Oh? There''s actually such a divine bird? " Although Yu Lingxuan was the emperor, it was also the first time he had seen such a rare animal.


    Yu Lingjing said lightly, "This humble subject is also very surprised and surprised to see it for the first time."


    Listening to Yu Ling Jing''s words, Yu Ling Xuan''s curiosity towards this object was even greater, and he slowly approached it.


    "Your Imperial Majesty is lucky."


    "Your Imperial Majesty is lucky."


    Hearing how this colourful little thing was so considerate, Yu Lingxuan had actually forgotten his true purpose in coming to the Prince''s Mansion. The corner of his mouth raised into a complacent smile, "Hehe. Is it really a divine bird? "


    "Since the Emperor likes it, then this parrot is a present to the Emperor from my concubine." Following a burst of feeble voices, the Imperial Concubine Yu Ling turned around at the same time and saw Qi Wanli sitting on the collapsed bed.


    Yu Lingxuan felt a little ashamed that his thoughts were all on the Divine Bird and he didn''t even know when his sister-in-law woke up. But to tell the truth, as the sovereign of the dynasty and as the emperor of a nation, who wouldn''t want to own the best thing in the world? It was just that he, the emperor, was too embarrassed to give face to the emperor. Yu Lingxuan hurried over to the collapsed bed in Qi Shu County. "Royal sister is really considerate. It''s my royal brother''s fortune to be able to marry such a beautiful woman."


    Qi Dian sneered in her heart. This was just Yu Lingxuan''s way of saying that she wanted her treasure. She had to do this kind of thing that she wanted to do even if she didn''t want to. Could it be that this world was ruled by a king? Could it be that this world was ruled by a king?


    "Your Majesty is too kind. "Please forgive this concubine for not being able to pay respects to the emperor."


    "The imperial concubine''s body isn''t feeling well. Quickly lie down and rest." As he spoke, he supported Qi Lun County and laid down.


    "Thank you, Your Majesty. That parrot is very intelligent, and even I can''t take care of it. This kind of spiritual Divine Bird, I''m afraid only the Emperor is worthy of having? " For the first time in her life, Qi Wan County flattered her, but this time, it was worth it.


    "In that case, I shall accept it." Yu Lingxuan chuckled, "Imperial Sis, don''t worry." We will definitely search the entire world for a famous doctor to diagnose your illness. " Since the other party gave him such a spiritual Divine Bird, he should express himself.


    "Thank you, your majesty."


    "Oh, imperial concubine? "Rest well. Your illness is on me." As Yu Lingxuan spoke, he patted his chest. It was obvious that he was very sincere.


    Chillingshire lay on the bed and forced a smile.


    "I''ve been out for a few hours, it''s time for me to go back." As he spoke, Yu Lingxuan turned around and motioned for the eunuch to go get the so-called divine bird.


    The eunuch carried the divine bird to the side of the emperor, and the bird said,


    "Your Imperial Majesty is an auspicious medical saint."


    "Your Imperial Majesty is an auspicious medical saint."


    Yu Lingxuan didn''t understand. The divine bird''s first words of greeting were for him, but what did this'' Medical Saint ''mean?


    "The Medical Saint?" Yu Lingxuan muttered with suspicion.


    "Oh. The Medical Saint is a legendary doctor rumored by the people to have no incurable illness. He has to save the dying and help the wounded, and his clever hands can return to the spring. The last water plague in the south was treated too well by her. " Yu Lingjing explained.


    "In that case. The poster said that he was doing his best to find a medical saint to treat wangfei''s illness. " Yu Lingxuan looked at the eunuch by the side and said loudly.


    "Yes." The eunuch''s shrill voice sounded, bowing respectfully.

 C48

    "The Emperor is magnanimous. This humble subject is grateful. " Yu Lingjing knelt down in excitement and said.


    A smile formed on the corner of Qi Shu''s mouth as he laid on his bed. Everything had gone smoothly as planned.


    Two soldiers were pasted up with notices on the streets of the capital, but they were watched by a group of people.


    "What''s the note?" A peddler dressed in grey and wearing a grey brain asked.


    "The entire city is searching for famous doctors to treat the wife of the Regent King, especially the Medical Saint, Ruan Qingyan. If anyone can find a Medical Saint or find any traces of a Medical Saint to report to us, they will be heavily rewarded. Signature: Ministry of Internal Affairs. " A man dressed like a scholar read the notice aloud.


    "Oh. So the regent''s consort is sick? " A woman who was holding a child said,


    "Since you''re searching for a doctor in the entire city? I presume that the Regent''s wife is suffering from a serious illness? " A young girl wearing a brown skirt said.


    At this time, a man wearing a white robe and a conical hat pushed through the crowd and walked out.


    "Eh? "Who is this?" said an old man with gray hair.


    "I think he went to get the money." A middle-aged man with a towel over his shoulder said,


    "..."


    Beneath the bamboo hat was a man''s face that was even more delicate and pretty than a woman''s. The corner of his mouth raised into a faint smile as he looked at the notice in his hand. "The opportunity has finally arrived." This was the Ruan Qingyan who helped the dying and helped the injured, returning the dead to the dead.


    Ever since that day when Qi Wanjun had returned, she had discussed everything with Qing Mo and Xue. This included the fact that her departure was planned. She needed to avoid some people in order to make this show more realistic. Qing Mo Xue''s departure was not because she received a message from her master. It was also required for her plan to perform more perfectly.


    They were hiding in a place that no one else could see, watching the progress of the situation. Now the time had come for her to appear in the sunlight.


    Inside the Internal Affairs Bureau, an official was asleep in a hall. The mole on the corner of his mouth was very conspicuous. At this moment, he was sleeping soundly, and one could even hear the snoring sound coming from his mouth.


    At this time, a bailiff came to report, "Reporting to the lord, someone has announced the results."


    Seeing that the lord continued to crawl in the hall to sleep without any reaction, the bailiff walked up to the lord and called out into his ear, "Reporting to the lord." Someone has announced it. "


    The official went back to sleep, like a dead pig. He couldn''t even wake her up. The bailiff rubbed his head and rolled his eyes, "Sir, there''s a beauty."


    "Beauty? "Where?" The official who had been playing with Mr Zhou immediately sat up.


    The bailiff''s body bent and he said embarrassedly, "Sir, there are no beauties. Someone has announced it. "


    "There are no beauties. What did you call me up for? "You little brat, I think you don''t want to live anymore." The official cursed as he used his foot to kick the bailiff''s buttocks. The bailiff seemed to have expected this from an adult and started to run. The bailiff chased after him, tired, while the two sat on the ground breathing heavily.


    The official seemed to remember something and asked, "Little bastard." What did you just say? "


    "Sir, someone has announced the results." The bailiff said.


    "What?" Someone had announced the results. Why didn''t you say so earlier, you little bastard? " As he spoke, the official kicked again.


    "My lord." "I ¡­" After the bailiff finished his sentence, he did not continue. He was too lazy to continue being with such a muddle-headed adult, so he grumbled, "Anyway, it''s my fault."


    "Hey? "You bastard, you''ve even learned how to bawl, haven''t you?" The official frowned and shouted at the bailiff.


    "Me? How would I dare? " The bailiff had a coquettish smile on his face.


    "Hurry up and invite her over?" The officials finally reacted. With the Hao Yue Empire having such an official, it was truly a tragedy for Yu Lingxuan.


    "How am I so unlucky to have met such a superior?" The bailiff complained as he walked out.


    The bailiff walked to the door and saw a gentle man with a bamboo hat on his back, looking like a woman. He chuckled and said, "Our master has invited you."


    Ruan Qingyan had been waiting for so long, she was already impatient. She glanced at the bailiff and thought to herself, The imperial government should raise a bunch of pigs for trash as inefficient as you.


    She nodded and followed the bailiff in.


    Reaching the main hall, the bailiff bowed and pointed at the official, "Young Master." This is Lord Zhu of our Internal Affairs Bureau. "


    Lord Zhu? Hehe, but looking at how fat he is, he really does look like a pig. Thinking up to this point, Ruan Qingyan could not help but laugh.


    "You''re the one who announced the results?" Lord Zhu squinted his eyes, frowning as he circled around Ruan Qingyan. How could he not believe this person in front of him?


    "That''s right." Ruan Qingyan said coldly.


    "Give me your name." Lord Zhu touched his signature black mole, putting on an act that would make anyone who saw it feel disgusted.


    "Ruan Qingyan." Ruan Qingyan lightly said.


    "What?" Ruan Qingyan? " Lord Zhu stared at him and cried out in alarm. He really did not believe that this foolish brat was the Medical Saint, Ruan Qing Yan.


    Ruan Qingyan glanced at this Lord Zhu who looked like a pig with disdain, "Not bad. It''s you. "


    Just as he finished speaking, Lord Zhu and the bailiffs started laughing out loud. Ruan Qingyan really wanted to go over and slap them twice when she saw their expressions. Why would the government use trash that was even more useless than trash?


    After a burst of laughter, Lord Zhu asked the bailiff, "Sixth son. "What''s the number of places today?"


    The bailiff who had been replaced by the sixth son chuckled, "Reporting to my lord." One hundred twenty-seventh. "


    "Come on. The six of them were directly sent to the prison. "That''s it for today. Close the stall." As Lord Zhu said this, he turned around and prepared to return home. Unexpectedly, his neck was pushed back by something ice-cold. Lowering his head, he saw a shining dagger pointed at his neck. Lord Zhu''s Seven Souls bowed their heads to the ground. He hurriedly said, "Hero." What do you want? I''ll give it all to you. I beg you to let me go? I''m old, I''m young, and there are ten women in the middle who I need to raise. " Lord Zhu began crying as he spoke.


    Ruan Qingyan said fiercely, "Take me to see the Emperor."


    "Mask?" To see the Emperor. No problem. "No problem."


    "Then what about us?" Lord Zhu wanted to ask when he would get up?


    "Now." As Ruan Qingyan spoke coldly, she casually took out a red pill the size of a fingernail from her waist and stuffed it into Lord Zhu''s mouth, covering his mouth and making him swallow it in one gulp.


    "May I ask what hero gave me to eat?" Lord Zhu asked in a trembling voice.


    "Three Days Heart Destruction Pill." In order to prevent this dog official from causing trouble for her, she used this method.


    "Then am I not? You won''t live more than three days? " Lord Zhu asked with a frightened face. Ruan Qingyan said with a cold smile, "You can say that?"


    When the nearby bailiff saw that this man was so powerful, he stealthily prepared to slip away. Who knew that he had just taken a step? The yamen runner squatted on the ground and peed his pants as the dagger flew past him.


    "You ¡ª come here." Ruan Qing Yan pointed at the yamen runners squatting on the ground and roared, they obediently walked over.


    "Eat it." As Ruan Qingyan said this, she passed the other Three Day Corrupt Heart Pill to the bailiff, who was already scared out of his wits and dared not to disobey.


    Seeing the two of them being so obedient, Ruan Qingyan was very satisfied.


    They were not just being a good boy, they were also being scared.


    "But? As long as you don''t spout nonsense, I''ll give you the antidote after I finish my business. " Ruan Qingyan''s thin eyebrows twitched as she lightly said.


    "Really?" Lord Zhu and the bailiff named Liu Zi asked in unison.


    "Yours Truly''s words are as good as gold." Ruan Qingyan said seriously.


    Lord Zhu and the six children revealed a smile that was uglier than crying. Ruan Qingyan glanced at them, "Let''s go. "Lord Zhu."


    The capital was flourishing at night, and the streets were brightly lit. However, the palace at night was also different.


    Yu Lingfeng, dressed in a yellow dragon robe, was in his study reading through the imperial report when a eunuch by his side slowly walked over and reported, "Your majesty." The Lord Zhu of the Internal Affairs Bureau requests an audience. "


    "Lord Zhu? "Why did he come to see me so late at night?" Yu Lingxuan asked in surprise, raising his head.


    "Oh. Lord Zhu said that he found the Medical Saint. " The eunuch replied,


    "Oh? Let him in. " As Yu Lingxuan spoke, he put down the pen in his hand and sat down on a chair.


    "Yes." A high-pitched voice responded and walked out.


    "Your servant Zhu Xiao greets the Emperor."


    "This commoner, Ruan Qingyan greets the Emperor."


    "Get up." Yu Lingxuan''s gaze fell upon the handsome and elegant man beside Zhu Xiao.


    "You are Medical Saint Ruan Qingyan?" Yu Lingxuan asked in disbelief.


    "This commoner is me." Ruan Qingyan lightly said.


    "Lift your head and let me take a look."


    Ruan Qingyan slowly raised her head. Seeing the Emperor looking at her so intently made her feel very uncomfortable. She had never been looked at like this before. If he wasn''t the emperor, she definitely wouldn''t allow him to look at her like this.


    "What evidence do you have to prove your identity?" Yu Lingxuan stared at it for a long time before slowly spitting out these words.


    "In the midst of saving the plague in the south, this commoner had once met the Regent. "The Emperor can send this commoner to the Residence of Regent. If his identity is false, it won''t be too late to punish him." The corner of Ruan Qingyan''s mouth curved, as she lightly said. But her words, each word was like a gem, coming straight to the point.


    These words made Yu Lingxuan speechless. He turned to the eunuch and said, "Fine. Send her to the Residence of Regent. "


    "Yes." The eunuch bent his body and led Ruan Qingyan out.


    In the Regent''s Manor, Yu Lingjing was still holding Qi Dian''s hands. It had been a few days, and he had hired a lot of doctors, but they were unable to do anything. Before leaving, they would always say, "Prince, please invite someone else." Yu Ling Jing Bing began to doubt his wife''s illness. Was there really no one who could cure it?


    The servant, Liu Qi, slowly walked in. "Greetings, Prince." Someone from the palace has come again. "


    "Got it." Yu Lingjing said indifferently. He had given up on reporting any hopes of being in the palace. He carefully let go of his hand, glanced at Qi Hui County, then slowly turned around and walked out.


    "You? You are Ruan Qingyan? " The moment Yu Ling Jing saw my Ruan Qing Yan dressed as a man, the corner of his mouth curled up into a smile, as though hope had been ignited again.

 C49

    "Your Highness, is he really the Medical Saint, Ruan Qingyan?" "Your Majesty, this commoner met the Regent when he saved the plague in the southern waters. The Emperor can send this commoner to the Residence of Regent, and if his identity is false, then the Emperor will punish him."


    In the lobby, Yu Ling Jing looked at the suspicious face of the eunuch and said coldly, "That''s right. "Thank you, Eunuch."


    "In that case: "This old servant will return to report now." The eunuch cupped his fists, bowed, and left.


    "You''re here!" "This is great." Due to the presence of the palace maid, Yu Lingjing suppressed the excitement in his heart. He did not want the palace lady or even the emperor to think that he was secretly connected to the Medical Saint Ruan Qing.


    Although the Emperor was a kind and good emperor, he had a suspicious nature. As the sovereign of a country, he would absolutely not allow anyone to threaten his throne, even if this person was his own little brother.


    The moment he saw Ruan Qingyan, Yu Ling Jing felt elated, as if he had finally found hope.


    "How about the county?" Dressed in a white robe, with a white cloth bag across her waist, Ruan Qingyan asked excitedly.


    "Follow me." Yu Ling Jing said indifferently, waving his arm.


    "Right." As she said that, she followed Yu Lingjing to the inner hall.


    Once they entered the inner hall, Ruan Qing Yan gave Yu Ling Jing a look, and Yu Ling Jing sent Liu Qi away.


    Ruan Qingyan quickly sat down and looked at the two hours of unconsciousness other than sleep in Qi Shu County. This was also good, it was convenient for her to use the needles.


    Ruan Qing Yan took out a piece of cloth from the white cloth on her waist and opened it, only to see that there were tens of needles, big and small.


    Ruan Qing Yan quickly took out the longest silver needle and inserted it into Qi Wanli''s chest. Qi Wanli''s finger moved slightly, but this detail did not escape Ruan Qing Yan''s eyes.


    Ruan Qingyan put it back in its original place and quickly took out a slightly smaller silver needle. She quickly pricked the thumb of Qi Hui County, and then stuck it onto the other nine fingers one by one.


    A drop of black blood oozed out of the finger that had been pierced by the silver needle.


    "Poisoned?" Yu Lingjing asked in surprise.


    However, how could there be such a thing in the palace? Yu Lingjing felt that he had ruled over the Mansion with the harshness of an army. Someone dared to poison his manor? Yu Ling Jing frowned thoughtfully, but he couldn''t believe it.


    "That''s right. It was poison. Your highness has good eyesight. " Ruan Qingyan said coldly: "However, this poison is different from other poisons, its symptoms are a pale white, dry lips, the poisoned person does not affect their normal rest, other than sleeping for an hour in a day. It''s precisely because it''s not dark green like the others and because its lips are dark, doctors who don''t know about it wouldn''t think about it and would actually think that it''s some incurable disease. "


    "What about the county? Is she seriously poisoned? " Yu Lingjing asked impatiently.


    "With me here, I won''t die." Ruan Qingyan said indifferently. Her face was filled with confidence, but her heart was filled with ridicule. What a joke. Who am I, Ruan Qingyan, in this world is there a poison that I, Ruan Qingyan, am unable to cure?


    "I wonder when the county will wake up?" Yu Ling Jing asked indifferently.


    He wondered if he was being overly optimistic. She actually easily believed the legendary Medical Saint, Ruan Qing Yan. Although she had saved the plague in the water to the south, she had rushed through the battlefield for more than ten years and crawled out from a pile of corpses.


    Yet, Ruan Qingyan could hear the hidden meaning behind Yu Lingjing''s words. She was obviously not believing in herself, this was simply an insult to me, the Medical Saint, Ruan Qingyan. If it wasn''t for the county, even if you were the regent of the imperial court, you could still rely on your great-aunt to carry you. Thinking of this, Ruan Qingyan fiercely glanced at Yu Ling Jing and said, "This will depend on her body''s recovery ability."


    With that, she used a piece of white cloth to wipe off the black blood on Qi Wanli''s finger. Then, she lifted up her skull and gave her a finger sized, light green pill.


    His mouth urged, "After taking this antidote, I''ll write a prescription for her to drink some medicine and recuperate for a while." As Ruan Qingyan spoke, she gently placed Qi Rui County on the pillow, and slowly put Qi Wanli''s small hand under the silk blanket. She slowly stood up, turned around, and walked to the side of the table.


    However, if one took the antidote, it would be the opposite. In other words, if she was in the antidote state after taking the antidote, she would be in the antidote state after taking the antidote, but she would be in the antidote state after taking the antidote. Therefore, as to when Qing Er would wake up, Ruan Qing Yan could not be sure.


    "Who exactly dares to be so bold in this king''s regent''s palace? So vicious? You dare to poison this king''s wangfei? When this king finds out the truth, I will not let them off lightly. " Yu Ling Jing''s long and narrow eyes flashed with an exceptionally cold light.


    He clenched his fists so hard that his nails nearly fell out of his flesh. To dare openly poison an imperial concubine in this king''s estate, you really don''t place this king in your eyes at all. You are simply toying with your life over the years and playing with swords in front of the King of Hell. This King will definitely investigate everything.


    Hearing Yu Ling Jing''s words, Ruan Qing Yan slowly stood up, hugging her hands and said, "Your highness, there''s no need to trouble yourself."


    Yu Lingjing looked at Ruan Qingyan with a surprised expression. From her tone, it sounded like she knew who the culprit was. "What do you mean?"


    Ruan Qingyan sneered, "Why must Your Highness go through so much trouble?"


    If he had been suspicious earlier, Yu Lingjing was certain at this moment that Ruan Qingyan knew about the internal affairs. Yu Lingjing looked at Ruan Qingyan suspiciously, wishing that she could tell him the answer that he wanted to know. Yu Lingjing quickly walked to Ruan Qingyan''s side and grabbed onto both of her hands. With an excited expression, he asked, "Tell me who is the culprit?"


    Ruan Qingyan''s eyes glared as she fiercely flung his hands away, "There are two murderers, one of them is me." Ruan Qingyan lightly said. She said it so naturally, as if she did not feel the slightest bit of guilt.


    Yu Ling Jing''s cold eyes shot out a murderous light, but he was controlled by the last bit of his reason. He slowly released his hands. He could not believe that since Ruan Qingyan had poisoned them, why did she still try to detoxify them? Wasn''t that a contradiction?


    "You?" Yu Lingjing asked coldly.


    "It''s me." Ruan Qingyan said without hesitation. This was because of her personality, she would do whatever she wanted.


    However, Yu Lingjing was still glaring at Ruan Qingyan. He continued to suppress the rage in his heart. At this moment, he wanted to know who the other culprit was.


    "Who''s the other killer?" Yu Lingjing was silent for a while, before slowly spitting out a few words towards Ruan Qingyan.


    "It was Qi Wanli herself." Ruan Qingyan said indifferently, as if she was telling him something that had nothing to do with her. That was true. If the county was not her friend, then this matter really had nothing to do with her. However, in order to help the county, he and the county had become the pawns of the plan.


    "What?" The other killer was the wife herself? " Yu Lingjing''s eyes opened wide, and a strange light flashed across them. Never in his wildest dreams would he have thought that Qi Lan would poison him.


    Ruan Qingyan did not say anything and only nodded.


    "Why?" Yu Lingjing absentmindedly said these words.


    Ruan Qingyan let go of her arms, pointed at Yu Ling Jing and said loudly, "Isn''t it because of you. If it were not for your unintentional joke, how could the Imperial Physician think that the illness in the county was incurable? In order to help you get rid of the crime of deceiving the monarch, she took poison herself. "


    "Is it worth it?" Yu Ling Jing looked behind him at Qi Hui, who was lying down, and said with a pained expression. He thought that Qi Wanxian marrying him was equivalent to approaching the Crown Prince to take revenge on his status as the Crown Prince''s consort. He thought that this woman''s heart didn''t even have him. So he was wrong, this woman was silently giving her all for him. Thinking of this, Yu Ling Jing felt ashamed, and blamed himself, wishing that the one lying on the ground was himself.


    "Hmph." Is it worth it? " Ruan Qingyu said coldly, "Why do you think she married you? Just for revenge? "Do you know the county?"


    Ruan Qingyan''s words were like a sharp sword that pierced into Yu Lingjing''s heart. It was like a hammer that awakened Yu Lingjing''s head, causing her to wake up from her dream. What Ruan Qingyan said was right, he really did not understand this little girl.


    If she didn''t have you in her heart, she wouldn''t give in even if she had a knife to her neck with her Qi and County temperament." Ruan Qing Yan glanced at Yu Ling Jing and said fiercely. She was even a little suspicious that the county shouldn''t be in such a state for a man''s sake. Was it worth it? However, since ancient times, feelings have always been a mystery. What was love in this world? To only ask for a life and death battle? Maybe it was worth it only the person involved knew.


    "So? You still have this king in your heart? " Yu Ling Jing talked to himself while laughing like a child.


    Was this still the overweeningly arrogant Regent, the cold and heartless War God''s Overlord''s Soaring Scene? Ruan Qingyan sighed, "There shouldn''t be any problems with the brothel anymore. Put the prescription on the table and remember to give it to her on time." As Ruan Qingyan spoke, she walked out.


    Yu Ling Jing slowly walked to the side of the bed and sat down. He used his big warm hands to gently stroke the closed eyes of the beautiful woman''s fair and tender face. He took her small hands out from under the blanket and placed them on his face.


    The starry night sky was like a beautiful picture scroll. One could not see the edge to the horizon, but it also seemed to tell him that tomorrow was a beautiful day.

 C50

    Qi Wan County and Yu Ling Jing left the capital and arrived at a beautiful and beautiful paradise. They built a small two-story pavilion by a lush river, facing the mountain while facing the water, and once they woke up, the sunlight shone into the small pavilion. They saw the beautiful scenery of the mountain, and in the morning they went out to hunt hand in hand, and in the evening they sat side by side around a bonfire, tasting the wild game they had brought back, where Qi County and Yu Ling were far away from the hustle and bustle of the mortal world.


    For some unknown reason, her body could not move, as if it was being pressed down by some heavy object. She slowly opened her hazy eyes and wanted to sit up, but then she saw Yu Ling''er lying on her body, wearing a green robe. The corner of Qi Lan''s mouth raised into a faint smile, and then she gently lied down, as if she was afraid of waking up the person in her dreams.


    I just had a dream.


    Qi Ling County looked at Yu Ling Jing who was sleeping like a child, and smiled as he raised his small hand, gently touching that man''s exquisite and sculpted face, and looking at Yu Ling Jing who looked even more beautiful than Pan An, Qi Ling County felt like it was filled with happiness.


    Qi Wan County didn''t know that while she was ill, this man was watching over her day and night. He was really too tired.


    At this time, the maid, Liu Qi, walked in with a basin of water. When she saw this scene, the prince was sleeping soundly on top of the princess, but the princess was ¡­ Liu Qi''s eyes widened in shock. "Esteemed wangfei, you ¡­" Liu Qi covered her mouth with her hand and laughed embarrassedly.


    Seeing Liu Qi''s cute appearance, Qi Xi couldn''t help but laugh.


    "Princess, have you recovered?" Liu Qi opened her mouth wide, but no sound came out.


    The corner of her mouth curved. Last night in her hazy consciousness, she seemed to feel someone doing something to her. She tried to open her eyes, but she couldn''t.


    Seeing that the wangfei was fine, Liu Qi happily clapped her hands and jumped up. Qi Wan County signaled for Liu Qi to be quiet again, so as not to disturb the Prince.


    Yu Lingjing yawned and sat up. Qi Dian also sat up, because she really couldn''t lie down. If not for Yu Ling Jing''s pressure on her body, she would not have disturbed his sleep. With her Qi Lan''s personality, how could she have been lying on the ground up till now?


    Yu Lingjing looked at Qi Lan who was wrapped in white clothes, a strand of black hair flowing down her waist, and snow-white without makeup. Yu Ling Jing looked at Yu Ling who was wrapped in white clothes, and a strand of black hair flowing down her waist, but snow-white without makeup. It was as if the moment he let go of her hand, Qi Shu County would suddenly turn into a butterfly and fly away. His mouth constantly said, "My wife, I already know. My wife, you''ve suffered greatly."


    "..."


    The woman in his arms was embarrassed, her face as red as a ripe apple.


    Liu Qi, who stood to the side, currently covered her mouth and secretly laughed without a sound.


    Qi Wan County was hugged by Yu Ling Jing until they couldn''t even breathe, but Yu Ling Jing had no intention of letting go. Suddenly, she saw the basin of water that Liu Qi had just placed on the table. She turned her eyes and chuckled, "Hubby. Would it be okay for my wife to wipe your face? "


    Yu Ling Jing''s heart was bursting with joy when he heard his husband''s words. It seemed that his wife really did have him in her heart. Yu Ling Jing slowly released Qi Dian County, Qi Dian County felt as if it had been liberated, the body suddenly relaxed, the spirit refreshed. She got off the bed and slowly walked towards the table, the servant Liu Qi was like an outsider, standing there and chuckling.


    Yu Lingjing was still immersed in the joy of hugging a beauty. With a smile on his face, he turned around and saw the maid Liu Qi''s bright smile. The smile on Yu Lingjing''s face immediately froze. ''Why is this girl here?'' So she saw everything, heard everything?


    At the same time, Liu Qi saw Yu Ling Jing and immediately squatted down, "Greetings, Prince."


    Yu Lingjing gave an embarrassed "En". Seeing the prince in such a state, the young maid acted very tactful, pretending to be sincere as she said, "Your Highness." Your servant didn''t see anything just now, didn''t hear anything at all. " As he spoke, he waved his hand.


    If he didn''t say it, then that was fine, but now that he said that, Yu Lingjing''s expression became even more awkward. Seeing the cute appearance of Liu Qi, the Prince Yu Lingjing''s embarrassed appearance couldn''t help but laugh out loud.


    "That?" Liu Qi, you have no business here, you can leave first. "


    "Yes." Your Highness, I, your servant, will take my leave. "


    Yu Lingjing shot a glance at Qi Dian, who was gloating by the side, and said coldly, "Why didn''t you tell me Liu Qi is here?" This woman is clearly doing this on purpose, and actually caused me, the stately Regent, to make a fool of myself in front of a maidservant? How can I forgive her?


    Qi Wanshi feigned an innocent expression as he indifferently said, "I thought you knew."


    Yu Lingjing quickly walked to the side of Qi Dian County. His bloodthirsty eyes were glaring at Qi Dian County, as if he wanted to eat Qi Dian County alive. Facing the provocation of the man in front of him, how could Qi Dian not surrender? How could he allow the light in his eyes to engulf him? As the saying goes, you must treat others the way they treat you. Qi Wanxian used a tactic of using softness to overcome strength. If you use cold, I will use hot. Whoever laughs till the end will laugh the best.


    Thinking of this, Qi Wanxian''s mouth raised into a smile, staring at Yu Lingjing with eyes full of love. At the point where their eyes met, neither of them was willing to give in. This was a battle between ice and fire. Who would be the one losing?


    Yu Ling Jing looked at the fire like gentleness of this little beauty, like a hungry wolf seeing its prey, and wished that it could open its mouth and tear her apart one bite at a time. Do you know that you are seduction, seduction? Since you''ve delivered yourself to my doorstep, don''t blame This King for being impolite. The corner of Yu Ling Jing''s mouth slanted, he glanced over and hugged Qi Wanli tightly.


    She had not expected that Yu Ling Jing would hug her so intimately. It was different from the feeling she had when she was sleeping; every time she slept, she would lie flat on her back with her back facing him, and now their faces were almost touching.


    Before Qi''er could react, the man''s sexy lips were lightly pressed against hers, just like a dragonfly touching the water. Qi Shu immediately felt a kind of numbness coming from her face.


    When Qi Wanli finally regained his senses, Yu Lingjing''s lips had already left, her face was full of pride, and the corner of her mouth raised into a faint smile, as if what just happened had never happened. Qi Wanxian''s bright red face was as uncomfortable as being roasted on fire. She wanted to find a hole to hide in.


    With the rustling of the leaves in the yard, a charming red figure appeared in front of her eyes. She stood by the window like an abandoned child as cold tears rolled down her face. What else could she do now that she was awake? She slowly turned around and walked forward like a walking corpse. At this moment, Hong Kou felt that he was a puppet without a soul. He didn''t know where he was going, nor did he know where he was going.


    After breakfast, Qi Lan brought Liu Qi along with her and walked in the garden, bored, looking at the strange flowers and plants in the middle of the garden, Qi Wan didn''t have the mood to appreciate them, although it was only a few days since they arrived at the palace, but they had seen enough of these flowers and plants, they could no longer enter Qi Wan''s eyes.


    Seeing the lifeless look on the wangfei''s face, Liu Qi''s eyes turned and he said with a smile, "Since these flowers and plants are boring, why don''t we go out and take a walk?" Ever since she entered the Prince''s Mansion, the number of times Liu Qi had gone out, she could suddenly reach out with one hand. At that moment, how much did she yearn for the outside world, not to mention that she was only a child at the age of thirteen or fourteen, currently in the age to play.


    "You want to go out and play?" Looking at Liu Qi''s pair of eager eyes, Qi Lang glanced over and scratched her exquisite and small nose, and said with a face full of teasing.


    "Wang-fei ¡­" While acting like a spoiled child, Liu Qi embarrassedly pulled Qi Lan''s hand and called out, as if she could see through her thoughts.


    "All right. All right. "I''ll grant you that wish?" Actually, it was not only Liu Qi, she also wanted to go out for a walk. Ever since she had married into the King''s Manor, she rarely went out, especially after she had been sick for a few days, she had almost always spent her days in bed. This kind of feeling was even worse than dying, it was not scary for the Qi Province, but what was scary was lying on the bed and not dying at all.


    "Great. "Awesome." Hearing that she was going out, Liu Qi jumped and shouted.


    Walking on the bustling streets, Qi Dian felt like he had just walked out of a cage. He had often heard people say that once you were sick, you would be able to break out of the prison. Breathing in the fresh air outside again, Chiru suddenly felt that life was so beautiful, so comfortable.


    As she walked, a familiar figure wearing a light purple skirt flashed in front of her. Qi Tong stared at the person in front of her with wide eyes as she cried out, "Senior Sister? "Why are you ¡­"


    Qing Mo Xue, who was called Senior Sister, smiled and pointed at the teahouse beside them. "Let''s go in." This is a long story. "


    After entering, the three of them chose a room on the second floor that was close to the window and sat down. Qing Mo Xue carefully explained the cause and effect of this matter.


    "In that case?" All of this was planned by you, senior sister. Even you, senior sister, were the pawn in the entire plan? " Qi Dian asked Qing Mo Xue with a puzzled look. Qing Mo Xue nodded and smiled, "If I don''t leave, will your Regent let me go? Can our plan go smoothly? "


    Qi Dian nodded his head, "Where is your Qing Yan? Was it you who let her go? "


    Qing Mo Xue smiled confidently, "That''s right. "Otherwise, your regent will not let her go. I will let her appear at what time."


    "Oh my god! Elder sister, you''re really too amazing! What kind of god did you come up with such a brilliant plan for?" Liu Qi rubbed her head and couldn''t remember the word.


    "An ingenious plan." The three of them burst into laughter together as they spoke.

 C51

    That''s right, the name ''Zhuge'' was not exaggerated. This was something that I, Qing Mo Xue, had learned in my early years. I relied on my wits and many years of studying to build up my reputation step by step. Thinking of this, Qing Mo Xue''s heart became beautiful.


    After laughing, Qi Wan seemed to have thought of something? Looking at Qing Mo Xue, he asked with a puzzled expression, "Senior Sister. Why did you appear here? "


    Qing Mo Xue faintly smiled, gently caressing Qi Lan''s silk-smooth little face, "Silly girl." Of course it''s to wait for you? "


    "Wait for me?" Qi Wanjun looked at Qing Mo Xue in astonishment. Did he really not understand what his Senior Sister meant?


    Although her heart and mind were a bit stronger, but compared to her senior sister, Zhuge, who had roamed the Jianghu for many years, there was still a gap. This was the truth, and Qi''er could not deny it.


    Now that Senior Sister said she was waiting for her here, she really didn''t understand that she had only just decided to come out after breakfast with Liu Qi and hadn''t told anyone else.


    How did Senior Sister know? Could it be that the red-clothed person who had been watching him from the shadows was his Senior Sister? Was this really getting more and more unfathomable?


    After Qing Mo Xue''s clear and bright laughter passed, she said, "That''s right." I expected you to be here. " Her white, scaly fingers lightly tapped on Qi Shu''s small head as if she was a big child bullying a little child. Since young, Qing Mo Xue had spoiled Qi Shu''s other method, but this method was also stolen by Qi Shu.


    Qi Wan County pretended to be wronged as he touched the spot that Senior Sister had flicked past. "Aiya." Senior Sister, you bullied me. " Qing Mo Xue laughed out loud at the side.


    "Senior Sister? What makes you think I''ll be here? " Qi Wanjun looked suspiciously at Qing Mo Xue. She was very curious, how did Senior Sister know she would appear here?


    Qing Mo Xue looked at Qi Wan County curiously as she stared at her, like a cute kitten? She laughed softly and slowly said, "Last night, Qing Yan came to me and told me that she had already cured you, maybe she would wake up in the next two days?


    I guess with your personality, Junior Sister, after you wake up, this Regent''s Manor won''t be able to hold you back. You''re definitely going to come out for a walk and have a good time, aren''t you? to make up for the loss of your bed these past few days. "


    "A person who knows me well? Senior Sister. " A smile of happiness appeared on Qi Wanshi''s face as he felt proud to have such a senior sister who understood her. But there were so many streets in the capital? "How did you know I''d turn up on this street?" Liu Qi''s small eyes were also filled with doubt, she also wanted to hear what her elder sister would say next.


    Qing Mo Xue gave a faint smile, "Junior Sister, how high are your standards? How could this ordinary street market enter the eyes of junior sister? Junior Sister will definitely go to the most prosperous place. "It''s just that the streets of the capital are connected to each other. Only on the busy streets would there be a bustling market." As she spoke to here, Qing Mo Xue squatted down for a while. She glanced at Qi Wan County and Liu Qi, and the two of them nodded in agreement.


    Qing Mo Xue continued, "Looking at the entire capital''s large and small streets, there might be quite a few of them?" However, there were four that were most bustling: Northern Han Street, Nanyu Street, Dongfeng Street, and West Twin Street. Northern Frosty Street was too far away. Even by horse carriage, it would take at least four hours to get there. Therefore, he was the first to rule out it.


    Although Nanyu Street and Eastwind Street were a bit closer to Northern Frosty Street, Junior Sister you are now the regent''s consort, so you shouldn''t come out for too long, so you had to rule them out once again.


    Only this West Twin Street was the closest street to the Prince Regent''s Mansion, and it was as busy as the other three streets. Therefore, Junior Sister, the probability of you appearing here is greater. So I waited here thinking I''d wait a few more days? "I didn''t expect it to be today."


    "Senior Sister." It''s good of you. " Qi Wanjun said as he tightly hugged Qing Mo Xue. Only in the arms of his senior sister would she be as willful as a child and act coquettishly as she pleased. This was a feeling that surpassed the affection between sister and daughter.


    Liu Qi was very envious of Wang Fei and her Senior Sister''s blissful appearances. Ever since she was born, her father had not been happy to see that she was a girl. He had continuously scolded and abused her, and then he had unintentionally entered the palace. Not only did he have to work hard all night long, but the servants also tried to play up to each other, bearing grudges against each other because they suspected that she was young, and often bullied for being bullied. Since her good days with the princess had come, so she thought the princess was her lucky star.


    "Princess Consort, is elder sister the woman you spoke of who isn''t worse than a man?" Liu Qi looked at Qi Wan County and asked sweetly while blinking her eyes.


    Only then did Qi Wanli recover his wits. He let go of his senior sister and looked at Liu Qi. He had been too concentrated on talking to his senior sister just now to notice the existence of this little girl.


    The corners of Qi Wan County''s mouth raised slightly. "Of course. "My senior sister is a girl named Zhuge, a hundred or even a thousand times stronger than an average man." This was not Qi Wanli''s boasting of his Senior Sister, but the truth.


    "That?" Princess. "What''s a female classmate?" Liu Qi scratched his small head in embarrassment and asked with a troubled expression.


    Qi Wanjun and Qing Mo Xue, you look at me, I look at you, and they both look at this incredibly cute little girl in front of them.


    "Liu Qi? "Zhuge said that this woman is more intelligent and more knowledgeable than ordinary people, can you really understand me?" Qi Tong frowned as she looked at Liu Qi, then gently asked.


    "Yes." I see. In other words, big sister is very knowledgeable, smart and brave, and is definitely not something a normal man can compare to. "


    "Liu Qi. "So smart." Qi Ning praised Liu Qi from the bottom of her heart.


    Liu Qi''s face turned red with embarrassment. She had slowly learned this from the words of others. If she had to pick up a brush and write this, then it would be difficult for her to die.


    Although she was very studious, she could only learn some speaking skills. As for writing? Liu Qi was now thirteen years old. Not to mention that she didn''t even know how to write her name, she didn''t even know how to hold a brush.


    "She''s very smart. Give her some time to train her ¡ª maybe even a talent?" Qing Mo Xue, who was standing to the side, looked at this little girl and couldn''t help but praise her. If she knew that the words she said would cause an earth-shattering change to her fate and Liu Qi''s fate, then she wouldn''t say it even if she died.


    "Did you hear that? "Liu Qi." Qi Wan County raised his eyebrows. His eyes turned over as he made a plan in his mind.


    "Yes." "Princess Hua-Yang." Liu Qi quickly replied. These two were singing the same tune as before?


    "Then hurry up and come greet Master." Qi Wanjun looked at Qing Mo Xue with a face full of smiles.


    "No, no, no. I have no intention of accepting a disciple. " Qing Mo Xue had a troubled expression on her face as she waved her hand to show that she didn''t agree. However, Liu Qi was clever enough to grab a cup of tea and kneel on the ground with an innocent face as she said, "Disciple greets Master."


    This was an opportunity, an opportunity to change her fate. How could Liu Qi let it go? She envied and worshipped her master, hoping to become like her, able to dominate the world and become famous.


    Seeing Senior Martial Sister''s awkward expression, Qi Dian felt very happy in her heart. Senior Martial Sister, no one can compare to the title of ''Zhuge'' in the name of a woman. How will you end this matter today?


    Senior Sister, I understand you too well, okay, Junior Sister, I will give you another catalyst, "Could it be that Senior Sister thinks Liu Qi is too stupid? Isn''t he smart enough? " Qi Wan County sneered.


    "Junior Sister." You know that''s not what I mean? "I just ¡­" Qing Mo Xue''s face was filled with excitement as she hurriedly explained, but she did not say anything.


    "Oh? "Then Senior Sister must think that Liu Qi is a servant girl because you are afraid that she will disgrace the name of your girl, Zhuge." Qi Wan County continued to mock and ridicule him.


    Seeing the expression on her Junior Martial Sister''s face, Qing Mo Xue was determined to take her as her disciple? He then looked at the innocent and cute girl kneeling in front of him. Wasn''t she just a disciple?


    I, Qing Mo Xue, have been in the martial arts world for so many years. Thinking of this, she took the cup of tea that Liu Qi was carrying with a smile on her face, took a sip and then put it on the table beside her.


    At the same time, Liu Qi watched as her master drank tea. In other words, her master agreed to take her as a disciple. The excited Liu Qi kowtowed three times in quick succession.


    Beside him, Qi Wan County also had a smile on his face.


    "Liu Qi. From today onwards, you are my, Qing Mo Xue''s, disciple. Your Royal Consort, my Junior Sister, will be your Junior Master, but there is one thing. You have to abide by the rules of the sect and keep it a secret. You can''t mention this to anyone except the three of us? Otherwise, I will chase you out of my sect at any time, understand? "


    "Understood. Master. " Liu Qi knelt in front of his master and said sincerely.


    "Very well. I will find time to teach you some basics and teach you some tricks when you are more proficient. " Seeing the serious look on her Senior Sister''s face, she was very much like a master.


    "Thank you, Master." Liu Qi said with a happy face. In the future, not only would she be able to learn things, but would she also be alone? With her master and her uncle master, she felt a kind of happiness that she had never felt before.


    "When I''m not around in the future, you have to properly protect me, Martial Aunt Wangfei?" From her words, one could feel the care and love of a senior sister towards her junior sister.


    "Don''t worry, Master." This disciple will definitely not disgrace Master''s order. " As Liu Qi said this, she cupped her hands together, and Yanran had the appearance of a child from the martial arts world, teasing Qing Mo Xue and Qi Ling County as they laughed heartily.


    "Liu Qi. "Hurry up and get up." Qing Mo Xue looked at the foolish child kneeling on the ground with a pained expression.


    "Thank you, Master." Liu Qi stood up as she spoke.


    "Oh Liu Qi, Master wants to eat Snowflower Paste. Is there a shop not far from the teahouse? Can you buy some for Master? "


    "No problem." Master. I''ll go right now. " Liu Qi skipped out the door as she spoke.


    Looking at Liu Qi''s back, he heard the sound of her voice getting softer and softer as she went downstairs? Qing Mo Xue slowly turned her head and looked at Qi Dian County with a serious and depressing expression, as if she was a completely different person from the relaxed and joyful appearance from before. It could be seen that she intentionally sent Liu Qi away.


    Qi Wanjun looked at Qing Mo Xue with a surprised expression. She really didn''t understand, since Senior Sister has already accepted Liu Qi as her disciple, why did she still deliberately send her away? What was there that wouldn''t let Liu Qi know? If I knew, Senior Sister would hate to eat snowflake paste since she was young.

 C52

    "Senior Sister, did you deliberately send Liu Qi away?" Qi Wan County raised his delicate eyebrows, the corner of his mouth curved up as he stared at Qing Mo Xue, and slowly said.


    "That''s right. Although I have already accepted her as my disciple, even if this little girl is loyal and reliable, there are still some things we cannot let her know. Qing Mo Xue said indifferently.


    It had to be said that her calmness and rationality was truly comparable to an ordinary person''s. If this matter had happened to Qi Wanli County just now, perhaps she wouldn''t have let Liu Qi off the hook. As the saying goes, success is the result of failure. Of course, to revenge, the fewer who knew, the better. If the Crown Prince knew that the Qi family had a fish that escaped the net, let alone revenge, Qi Shu County wouldn''t even know how it died.


    Qi Wan County nodded in agreement, "It''s good to know without her knowing. I don''t want her to get involved in this either. " This was the truth. Qi Wan County was naturally kind, especially after she entered the prince''s mansion. Only this little girl truly treated her with respect, so deep down in her heart, she had long since treated her like a little sister.


    "Junior Sister." You have completely recovered now, moreover you have gifted the emperor with a Divine Bird. The emperor will probably recruit you into the palace soon. " Qing Mo Xue looked at Qi Shu County and said with a worried expression. With her Junior Sister''s personality, what if she saw that the Crown Prince was coming?


    "Senior Sister." If you have something to say, just say it. " Qi Dian looked at his Senior Martial Sister''s expression and knew that there was a hidden meaning in her words. He grabbed her hand and said.


    "It will soon be the Mid-Autumn Festival. According to the old custom, the Regent would go to the palace for a banquet every Mid-Autumn Festival. So maybe this year is no exception? The Regent will take you to the banquet, and since it is a family banquet, the Crown Prince will be there as well. "If you see the crown prince in the palace ¡­"


    When she heard the words'' Crown Prince '', Qi Lan immediately released the hand that was holding Qing Mo Xue and clenched her fist tightly. A cold light shot out from her bloodthirsty eyes, as if the Crown Prince was standing in front of her. When Qing Mo Xue saw the change in her Junior Sister''s body, she grabbed her Junior Sister''s hand. Senior sister''s meaning was clear. She slowly loosened her clenched fist, and although there were tears in her eyes, she pretended to smile disdainfully. "Senior sister." Don''t worry. I know what else to do. "


    Seeing such a calm junior sister, Qing Mo Xue, actually became even more worried. She hugged Qi Shu County tightly and comforted, "Senior sister understands your pain." But now is not the time. "


    "Senior Sister." Are my loved ones all watching me from the sky? "One day, I will definitely behead the murderer and avenge my family." Qi Wanjun indifferently said as he laid on the shoulder of his senior sister, Qing Mo Xue. Qing Mo Xue''s eyes also dripped a tear of pain. Her junior sister had suffered too much. In order to take revenge, she was no longer the naive and impulsive junior sister she once was. However, after seeing her junior sister like this, Qing Mo Xue''s heart was filled with unease as well as heartache. At this moment, how much did she miss her previously carefree junior sister? But she also knew that since the day her Qi Clan was exterminated, that Junior Sister would never come back.


    "Master. Snowflake cream is back. " With a clear and straightforward voice and the sound of knocking footsteps as they went upstairs, Qi Wanli and Qing Mo Xue quickly let go of each other and wiped away the tears that had fallen on their faces, pretending to have a peaceful expression.


    "Master, Martial Uncle. Snowflake cream is back. " As Liu Qi spoke, she walked in.


    "Yes." Put it on the table. " Qing Mo Xue replied without even looking at him.


    "Senior Sister." We should go back. " Qi Wanjun looked at Qing Mo Xue with a reluctant expression and said. Ever since she had married into the palace, Qi Wanshi had always felt that her Senior Sister and Qing Yan were getting further and further away from her. However, what she didn''t know was that these two people had been silently watching her from behind?


    "Go." Qing Mo Xue faintly said.


    In the Residence of Regent, Yu Lingjing was in the study taking care of military affairs. He had been taking care of his wife for the past few days, and now that she had recovered, he would be able to attend court tomorrow.


    At this time, the steward knocked on the door. Yu Ling''s door was wide open, and he coldly said, "What is it?" Yu Lingjing was too polite today. In the past, whoever disturbed him while he was in the study would be dragged out and beaten to twenty pieces, so no one dared to come in at this time. Today, if it wasn''t for the prince telling the steward in advance that she had recovered from her illness, the steward wouldn''t have dared to look at his door of study. He wanted to accompany her to eat.


    "Oh? Prince. It''s time for lunch. " When Yu Ling Jing heard that it was time to eat, he put down the documents in his hands and asked faintly, "Is the princess in the past yet?"


    The butler bent his body and said seriously, "Oh? Prince. Just now, the old servant had gone to invite the wangfei for a meal, only to discover that she was not in her room. Perhaps the wangfei is bored and has gone out to relax. "


    "Have the kitchen prepare some light dishes. Let''s have a meal together when the wangfei comes back." As Yu Lingjing spoke, his mind was thinking, where is this little girl? She just recovered a bit and she couldn''t help but want to leave?


    "Yes." Prince. This old servant will arrange it now. "


    After the steward had left, Yu Lingjing sat in his study room and watched the military affairs pile up the hill again. However, he couldn''t calm down no matter what. He kept hearing about his wife. He did not know what had happened recently, but when it came to his wife, This King felt uneasy and worried about gains and losses. Could This King be sick?


    Since that woman went out to relax, This King will also go out to relax. Yu Ling Jing thought for a while and then walked out. Who knew that as soon as he stepped out of the doorway, Qi Lan and Liu Qi came back.


    "Your servant greets Your Highness." When Liu Qi saw the prince, she crouched down and greeted him.


    "No need for formalities." Yu Ling Jing coldly said these two words, his pitch black eyes staring straight at Qi Hui. Qi Xiao''s watery eyes just saw him, so they met again.


    Liu Qi''s spirited eyes secretly glanced at the prince, then looked at the wangfei? Seeing this scene, she smiled in understanding before quietly leaving.


    "He went out? Why didn''t you tell This King? " Yu Lingjing said coldly.


    Hearing Yu Ling Jing''s words, Qi Shu lowered her head like a child who had done something wrong. She didn''t know what she was afraid of. Why didn''t they dare to look into his eyes?


    Her small mouth was once again forcefully pressed against the sexy and thin lips of the man in front of her. This kind of feeling was different from the gentleness from before, as Yu Ling Jing''s hands were tightly hugging her in his embrace, his mouth was not as gentle as the last time, Qi Rong wanted to struggle free, but she was unable to suppress the fanaticism in his mouth. Her soul no longer belonged to her, and she closed her eyes as she followed him into another wonderful world.


    They seemed to forget that they were in the doorway, with the words "Regent''s Manor" written in large, powerful letters on the black wood above the gate behind them.


    When a red figure saw this scene, it wiped its eyes and angrily left.


    Inside the inner hall, Yu Ling Jing and Qi Wan County sat facing each other, looking at the variety of dishes in front of them but having no appetite. They looked at each other and smiled, still immersed in the dream-like kiss. After a moment of silence, the corners of Qi Wan County''s mouth curled up as she gently said, "I wonder where your highness is planning to go?"


    "Where is my wife? "My husband will go wherever he goes." Yu Ling Jing''s words made Qi Shu''s heart feel happy, as if flowers were in full bloom. Deep in her heart, she still cared about this man, but she wasn''t sure if he cared about her the way she cared about him. It was because of this uncertainty that Qi Lang had hidden his feelings for Yu Ling Jing in the depths of his heart. Never mentioned it to anyone.


    "Husband? Do you love me? " In the end, Qi Wan County restrained the apprehension in her heart and raised her head. She finally mustered up the courage to ask the question that was hidden in her heart the most?


    Yu Ling Jing stretched out his arm and grabbed Qi Ning County''s small hand hidden on the table. He looked at her watery eyes and said sincerely, "My wife." This King does not know what love is, but This King knows that his wife is everything to This King. The only thing you can do is not lose your wife. "


    Qi Dian smiled as he looked at Yu Ling Jing, "So it''s like this." Very good. Your concubine would rather lose the world than pay a debt. "


    In the imperial study of the imperial palace, a middle-aged man wearing a yellow Nine Dragons Silk Robe was holding a thin golden stick in his hand, teasing a bird-like animal that looked like a plant.


    "Your Imperial Majesty is lucky."


    "Your Imperial Majesty is lucky."


    The middle-aged man laughed heartily upon hearing the little guy''s short and delicate voice.


    After the laughter, he asked, "Is that person really the Medical Saint, Ruan Qingyan?"


    "Reporting to Your Majesty." "Seriously." Following the sharp and thin voice, the eunuch bowed deeply.


    "I wonder how the Regent''s wife is faring?" Wearing a yellow robe, Yu Lingxuan asked indifferently.


    "This servant knows that you are worried about the condition of the wangfei? Send someone to investigate this morning? Those who came back said that the wangfei has recovered. " The eunuch laughed and said.


    "You cunning old thing. "He can actually guess my thoughts?" Yu Lingxuan pretended to be angry and said.


    The eunuch chuckled, "How can this servant guess Your Majesty''s thoughts? However, this servant understood that the king cared about the king and cared about the officials so much that he dared to send someone to investigate? I beg for Your Majesty''s forgiveness. " "Your Majesty," the eunuch said before kneeling down. He''d followed by His Majesty''s side for so long, how could he not understand His Majesty''s intentions?


    Yu Lingxuan laughed, "I will not blame you. However, is that Medical Saint really that powerful? " If Yu Ling Xuan was suspicious, he could ask.


    "If Your Majesty wishes to know? Tomorrow, we''ll invite her to the palace and ask her about it. "


    "An edict. Tomorrow, we will invite the imperial physician to enter the palace together with us. " Yu Lingxuan solemnly said.


    "Yes." "Your majesty." The eunuch''s shrill and thin voice resounded clearly, lingering within the royal study. "Wuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuu

 C53

    The next day, when Qi Wan woke up, she opened her eyes and noticed that Yu Ling Jing wasn''t there. The servant girl, Liu Qi, was smiling as she laid on the bed. "Martial Uncle."


    Qi Wanxian quickly sat up and swept his eyes in the direction of the door. He made a "shh" gesture, indicating that she should lower her voice. Liu Qi disapproved, "It doesn''t matter. Martial Uncle. I just saw that there''s no one around. "


    Qi Wan County burst into laughter. Seeing that Liu Qi had woken up so early in the morning, and even had a sweet smile on her face, this little girl must be in a good mood. There must be something that made her happy, right? I might as well tease her.


    "That Liu Qi? "You woke up early today?" On one side, Qi Lang looked for Liu Qi, and on the other side, there was a large amount of Liu Qi, searching for something unusual with her, while on the other side he chuckled and said.


    Liu Qi''s round, black little eyes stared, "No? Martial Uncle. I get up at this hour every day? " After Liu Qi said this, she looked at Qi Tong with suspicion. ''What''s wrong with this Martial Aunt? Why did she think I started so early today? It''s already late and the Prince is about to step down. Why did she say it was still early?''


    "That?" What are you so happy about today? Did some little servant send you a love letter? for you to be so happy? " Qi Wan County raised his thin eyebrows and said calmly.


    "No?" No. What did you say, Senior Master? " Liu Qi heard that her Martial Uncle actually said that he had a small servant sending her a love letter? She was so embarrassed that she immediately said excitedly, but her face was as red as a ripe apple. She angrily turned around and spat out a few words, "Uncle-master Wang Fei." Bullying Liu Qi. "


    Seeing that Liu Qi was so cute, the corner of Qi Lang''s mouth raised to form a faint arc, and said with a stained face, "Aiyo? Is my family Liu Qi angry? Just who was this daring to bully my Liu Qi? I''ll wait for Martial Aunt''s wife to take revenge for you. "


    "Isn''t it Martial Uncle?" Liu Qi quickly turned around and pointed at Qi Wan County as she loudly said this.


    "Aiyo." How could I dare? Currently, you, Liu Qi, are the disciple of the Jiang Hu girl, Zhuge Qing Mo Xue. How dare you bully an old man like me? " Qi Wan County spoke while lowering his head. He pretended to be timid as he rolled his eyes and spoke in a soft voice.


    "Hahahaha." Uncle-master''s acting is really good, actually better than those who sing plays? If Martial Uncle has had enough time in the palace, why don''t we go and act together? " Liu Qi seemed to have forgotten her previous awkward appearance from being teased by Martial Uncle, as she spoke with an innocent expression.


    Seeing Liu Qi like this, a faint smile flashed across Qi Shu''s face, she was really envious, Liu Qi''s age was really good, happy to smile, sad to cry, everything was up to her, there was no need to think so much, she was just the real herself.


    "Alright. Does Liu Qi like acting too? " While saying this, Qi Wanjun stroked Liu Qi''s small head just like how his senior sister had stroked her head.


    "I do like it. "But ¡­" Speaking up to here, Liu Qi slowly lowered her head, and said with a sad face, "It''s just that I don''t have that chance."


    "Don''t worry." We will have plenty of opportunities in the future. " Qi Wanxian hugged the somewhat sad Liu Qi as he consoled her. This wasn''t just consoling her. As Zhuge''s disciple in the middle school, this kind of acting work would definitely be done in the future.


    "Martial Uncle." "What do you mean?" Liu Qi had a puzzled expression as she looked at Qi Shu County. She really didn''t understand the meaning behind Martial Uncle''s words.


    "Nothing. You will understand later. " Qi Wanjun had a calm expression as he spoke, but since he didn''t really understand Liu Qi, he might as well wait for her to slowly comprehend it in the future.


    "Why were you so happy?" Qi Wanshi gently released Liu Qi, returning to the main topic at hand.


    Liu Qi laughed and said, "When I was preparing to knock on the door with the hot water, Prince just happened to be out preparing for court. He told me that the Princess had just recovered and needed more rest. I was urged to stand quietly beside the princess and not disturb her. Your highness is so considerate. "


    "Did he really say that?" Qi Wanli suspiciously asked, ''Has Yu Ling Jing''s temperament changed?''


    "Your Highness did indeed say so. I swear. " As Liu Qi spoke, she raised two fingers of her right hand and pointed them at the sky.


    Qi Wan was stunned for a moment, then looked at the sincere Liu Qi, and hurriedly smiled as she held the two fingers she pointed to the sky and said, "Oh." No need. Senior Martial Uncle will trust you. " While Qi Wan said this, her heart was as sweet as if she had eaten honey. So this man also knew how to change? It wasn''t that men changed, but that both men and women changed in front of their loved ones. Sometimes it was intentional, sometimes it was an unintentional and subtle change.


    Qi Wanxian only knew Yu Ling Jing changed, did not know Yu Ling Jing only changed in front of her? He also didn''t know that he had changed because of Yu Ling Jing.


    Qi Wan got off the bed, walked to the side of the table, picked up a towel and wiped his face, looked at Liu Qi, and laughed, "Liu Qi. Why don''t you comb my hair? "After you finish your breakfast, I''ll teach you how to read."


    What happened to her? Why did you take the initiative to ask me to comb her hair today? I used to comb her hair, but she didn''t like it. Didn''t she like Qu Qingsi? Why was she here today? However, thinking about how her martial uncle had just said that he would teach her how to read, she was overjoyed for a long time.


    "Yes." "Martial Uncle." Liu Qi replied straightforwardly.


    Sitting in front of the dressing table, looking at Liu Qi in the bronze mirror combing her hair? Qi Wan County remembered the day of the wedding.


    In the House of the Left, Mrs. Left, dressed in red, sat at the dressing table, combing her hair, mumbling: "One comb to the end, no need to worry about wealth; two combs to the end, no illness and no worries; three combs to the end, many sons and many longevity; two combs to the end, two wings to the end; three combs to the end, a heart to heart to heart; two combs to the end, a life of wealth and wealth." That day, because he wasn''t crying and getting married, the Left Premier''s wife had a dispute with Hong Niang. In the end, she gave her some banknotes to bribe her mouth ¡­


    As she thought of this, she thought of the Madame Minister of the Left, whom she had not seen for a few days. She truly did miss her. After all, ever since she was young, she had treated her like her own daughter. It was about time she went to see her.


    Looking at the dressing table again, he saw himself in the copper mirror. He was covered in white clothes, and the black hair that was just a shawl just a moment ago had been cleaned up completely by Liu Qi''s delicate hands. Looking at the swaying steps on his head and the jade butterfly hairpin that was stuck into his hair, Qi Wanjun smiled in satisfaction.


    "Martial Aunt and Royal Consort. Do you want some rouge? " Liu Qi giggled as she spoke, but her words brought the thoughts of Qi Hui back to her mind. She said indifferently, "That''s good."


    Liu Qi asked casually. He didn''t think that Martial Uncle would actually agree to it. Liu Qi felt strange, why did Martial Aunt''s mood seem to be wrong today? At the same time, she used her hand to wipe some of the flour like white powder on Qi Lan''s face and evenly spread it over her face. Then, she took out some of the blush on her cheeks and adorned them a little, and finally placed the red paper in front of Qi Lan and placed it on Qi Ning''s mouth. Qi Ning lightly pressed her lips together, looking just like a devastatingly beautiful little beauty.


    "Too beautiful. Martial Uncle. It''s simply like dropping a kingdom. Even fairies can''t compare to you. " Liu Qi had a surprised expression as he said this.


    "What?" Qi Wanjun looked at himself in the mirror and calmly raised his face into a faint smile. Let''s go. "Let''s go eat."


    In the Hall of Golden Chimes, all of the officials kneeled down and shouted, "Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"


    On the Dragon Throne was a middle-aged man wearing a crown and a yellow Nine Dragons Silk Robe. He waved his arm and said with a dignified expression, "My beloved officials, please rise."


    "Thank you, General." The officials of the imperial court were shouting loudly as they lined up in two neat rows on both sides of the hall.


    Yu Lingxuan, dressed in his yellow silk robe of nine dragons, swept his eyes across the crowd of ministers with a pair of sharp eyes. Finally, his eyes fell upon the regent, Yu Lingjing, who hadn''t been to court for several days, and pretended not to know anything as he asked, "I wonder how my royal brother is doing at court today?"


    This emperor really knew how to act. He was no exception in front of his own younger brother. He always placed himself in a state of high vigilance and suspicion. It was undeniable that this was for his supreme throne, the selfless affairs of the imperial family since ancient times. This was even more so for the princes and princes. Their every move could not escape the emperor''s notice. The Regent Yu Ling Jing sneered in his heart. This Medical Saint, Ruan Qing Yan, was called over by the Emperor for Xiao Chen. Are you sure you don''t know about my wife''s illness? Yu Lingjing cupped his hands in thanks, "Thank you, your majesty." Your wife has already recovered. "


    "So that''s how it is. "Very good." Yu Lingxuan pretended to be aware of the situation.


    Standing on the other side was Crown Prince Yu Hanfeng, wearing a yellow six dragon silk robe. He had a hideous face, looking at the Regent King Yu Ling Jing, he coldly laughed and said, "Is Imperial Uncle really so lucky? It was said that once you survived, you would be blessed. I''m sure that in the future, Imperial Uncle''s fortune will not be shallow? " The meaning behind the Crown Prince''s words was, "Royal Uncle, you might have the possibility to become the Emperor?"


    How could Yu Lingjing not know what the Crown Prince meant? The corners of his mouth curled up slightly as he said, "The Crown Prince is right. Even if I am lucky, it is because of the emperor''s blessing. My humble concubine''s illness has passed through the gates of hell, and I was lucky enough to survive. The Emperor spared no effort to seek help from the Medical Saint for his lowly concubine. Here, dust kowtow Emperor Rongen. Long live the Emperor. " Yu Lingjing knelt down.


    Seeing how the Regent, Yu Lingjing, had once again saved him from danger, Yu Hanfeng clenched his fists tightly. His bloodthirsty eyes were almost popping out of his eyes, and his face was twisted to the point that it didn''t look human anymore. He had fought with him countless times inside and outside the imperial court, and had never tried to take advantage of him. In the battle that would follow, he had to be very careful.


    Yu Lingxuan glanced at his disappointing son, and then withdrew his gaze, chuckling to Yu Lingjing, "My royal brother, please quickly get up. We are all family members, there is no need to be so formal." Finished speaking, he cast a glance at the eunuch who had followed by his side for many years, and the eunuch immediately understood what he meant and shouted, "If there''s anything else, start it off. "If there''s nothing else, I will be leaving the court."

 C54

    My lord." Long live, long live, long live, long live, long live your life. " The officials left.


    Just as Yu Lingjing stepped out of the throne room, he was stopped by a sharp and thin voice: "Regent, please hold on."


    "..."


    Yu Ling Jing was startled, and slowly turned his head, with a faint smile on his face, "May I ask why eunuch is doing this?"


    The eunuch''s slightly aged face revealed a smile that was not a smile, "Your Highness, please. The Emperor is waiting for you in the back garden. "


    Following behind the eunuch, Yu Lingjing slowed down. Why did the emperor want him to stay? What does that mean? If it was because of official business, why didn''t he choose to stay in the royal study and chose to stay in the garden? Presumably it wouldn''t be business. As Yu Ling Jing thought this, he arrived at the back garden.


    A man in a yellow robe and a woman in a blue dress were sitting in the garden, playing chess. Where had he seen that woman''s back? It was actually a little familiar? Yu Lingjing looked suspicious as he slowly approached. The chess player''s voice was getting closer and closer. "Your majesty, you''ve lost.


    "Looks like it. I don''t have a good wind today, do I? I''ve let my royal sister down. "


    "Where? Where? It was the emperor who allowed this lowly concubine. "


    This voice was clear and melodious ¡­


    "Your Majesty, the Regent has arrived." The eunuch bowed to the yellow robed Yu Lingxuan in front of him who was playing chess, then quickly retreated to the side.


    "This subject greets Your Majesty." As he spoke, he knelt in front of the emperor.


    "Oh my royal brother? "Hurry, wake up." Yu Lingxuan said with a wide smile on his face.


    Yu Lingjing slowly stood up. As he glanced around, he saw that the blue-clad woman beside him was immediately stunned. She actually ¡­? It was actually his imperial concubine, Qi Wanliang. That''s right, how could Yu Lingjing be mistaken? How could he be mistaken about his own wife? But why would his wife appear here? Why was he dressed up like this? Wearing blue clothes with heavy makeup and wearing a jade hairpin, this kind of dressing was very different from the one he knew in Qi Lan County, it was simply not the same person.


    As the saying goes, a soldier dies for the one who knows him, and a woman for the one who enjoys herself. Because of what Liu Qi had said, and because Yu Ling Jing cared about her? And to say goodbye to his past self, that headstrong, reckless Qi Wanxian. From today onwards, she would change herself into a completely different Qi Wan Country, so the first step of this change would be to start with clothes.


    If one did not experience it, they would not grow. It was precisely because Qi Wanxian had experienced too much, that she had grown up the most. It was as if he was a completely different person from before.


    Qi Dian looked at the man standing in front of him. This man was arrogant and indifferent, yet a faint smile appeared on his masked face. It was as if in front of him, he was the real him.


    From Qi Wan County''s gaze, Yu Ling Jing felt a trace of coldness, a sort of coldness he had never felt before. This kind of coldness made him unavoidably worried. He was afraid that she would do something out of line in this palace, which would bring her a calamity ¡­


    "That?" I am very concerned about my royal sister''s illness. When I heard that my royal sister was unharmed, I couldn''t wait to invite her over? I hope that little brother Huang will not take offense to it. " Yu Lingxuan looked at the loveless couple and laughed, interrupting the awkward silence.


    However, his explanation was worth considering. He had just pretended not to know anything in the court and had already invited his wife over? Hehe, Your Majesty, do you think I, Yu Ling Jing, am a fool? And she was a three year old child. How could she make it in time? Alright, since you''re the emperor, then no matter what, it''s still the same.


    Yu Ling Jing looked away from Qi Hui County, and immediately changed his gaze to an indifferent one, clasping his hands, "This humble subject doesn''t dare." The Emperor was so busy with his affairs that he was actually so concerned about his lowly concubine. This humble subject once again thanks Your Majesty on behalf of this humble concubine. "


    Yu Lingxuan sighed in his heart. If my son had half of the intelligence of my royal brother, the Regent, and his ways of handling matters, I would have given him the mountains and rivers without any worries. It''s fine if you don''t mention it, but it''s fine if you don''t. Yu Lingxuan chuckled and said, "Is it okay for royal brother and royal sister to stay and eat together?"


    Yu Lingjing pretended to look troubled and said flatly, "Although I''ve recovered, I still need to take medicine and recuperate on time before I can truly recover." Thus, we shall not disturb your Majesty anymore. "


    "So that''s how it is. I won''t force you. But in the future, my royal sister would come to the palace to walk around and chat with the empress whenever she had nothing else to do. "The empress was talking nonsense with me a while ago?"


    "The emperor''s wife is very loving, this humble subject and his humble concubine cannot compare." Yu Lingjing feigned an envious expression? Looking at Yu Ling Ling


    Seeing this, Qi Shu sneered in her heart. This man''s acting is so good, it''s a pity he doesn''t sing.


    The corners of Qi Wan County''s mouth slightly lifted as he hugged his fists. "Your majesty of the Emperor passes through the entire Nine Prefectures." The Emperor''s broadmindedness was like the sun and moon. This lowly concubine truly admires you. "


    "Look." This swift little mouth, my royal brother, you are more blessed than me. With such a beautiful lady''s thoughtful care, what more can I ask for? " Yu Lingxuan looked at the Qi Lang Country in front of him. Not only did he have a devastatingly beautiful face, he also had a clever tongue that was not one inch away. Compared to his Queen who only knew how to fight for power, he was many times stronger.


    But these words were not something that Yu Lingxuan could speak of in front of them. Who knew what suffering existed in his heart? Although he was his own younger brother, he was still his subject. Since ancient times, when the king had bid farewell to his son, he could only swallow his bitterness in his heart. How many people would want to sit on his throne? I don''t know, when you really sit on this throne, you will be truly lonely. When you become an emperor, even your wife and son are scheming against you. How sad is your heart? Thinking of this, Yu Lingxuan could only silently sigh in his heart.


    "Thank you, your majesty, for your praise." Qi Wan County cupped his fist and said with a happy expression. Seeing his wife so unperturbed, Yu Lingjing felt that the worries she had been worrying about just now were unnecessary. She slowly heaved a sigh of relief.


    Actually, although Qi Wanxian had enmity with the Crown Prince, she didn''t dislike the Emperor? Although she would flatter and flatter the emperor in front of her, she could see from his eyes that the sincerity in his words was something the crown prince and empress of the imperial palace didn''t have. Qi Wan County, who clearly loved and hated the crown prince, would not vent her anger on a benevolent emperor who didn''t know anything. Although this was the father of her enemy, she wouldn''t either. Since ancient times, grievances have always had a head, and debts have always had a head. She was so understanding and righteous that she probably didn''t even think of Yu Lingjing.


    "Xiao Chen, farewell."


    "I''ll be taking my leave."


    The two of them clasped their fists and knelt down as they spoke in unison.


    "Go." Yu Lingxuan faintly spat out two words. Looking at Yu Ling Jing''s and Qi Wan County''s backs, Yu Ling Xuan''s eyes were filled with disappointment.


    As he sat within the carriage, Qi Wan opened the curtain and glanced at the red-tiled palace door, then took a deep breath. The fresh air outside the carriage''s window made him feel much more at ease. It was like the comfortable feeling of a fish meeting water.


    When she turned around, she saw Yu Ling Jing staring at her with his cold and dark eyes. Yu Ling Jing stretched out his right hand and grabbed the small hand of Qi Lan, who was sitting opposite of him. The corner of Qi Lan''s mouth raised into a faint smile, letting this proud and cold man hold her small hand tightly. How she wished that she could sit in this carriage with him and just continue on forever, without end ¡­


    "This King has another question?" Yu Ling Jing looked at Qi Wan County, and his gentle eyes were like water as he coldly asked this question. This question lingered in his mind countless times, but in the end, he still blurted it out.


    "Why am I in the palace?" Qi Wanxian gazed at the man in front of him, and with a single sentence, he cut to the chase. Qi Wan County had already expected Yu Ling Jing to ask. If he didn''t ask, then he wouldn''t be Yu Ling Jing. If it was her Qi Wan County, then she would also ask.


    "Exactly." Yu Ling Jing said slowly, but his eyes never left Qi Lan''s eyes.


    Qi Wan County fell into deep thought ¡­


    Qi Wan County and Liu Qi ate together in the room, but just as they ate, the housekeeper came to report that someone from the palace had arrived. Waiting in the outer hall. Qi Wanshi changed into a different set of clothes. A while ago, her Senior Martial Sister had just given her a blue Luo Qun with the same cloak, and she had followed the housekeeper to welcome the guests.


    When he arrived at the outer hall, he saw a young eunuch that he had never seen before. When the young eunuch saw a beautiful blue-clothed woman, he was stunned for a moment before he said in a soft voice, "Royal Concubine Qi Shu County, Medical Saint Ruan Qing Yan is to receive the decree ¡­"


    Qi Wanshi knelt on the ground and raised his hands. "My lowly concubine Qi Wanli accepts the decree." However, the Medical Saint has already left and this lowly concubine doesn''t know his whereabouts? "


    "In that case. "Princess Consort, why don''t you accept the decree first?" The young eunuch said with a thoughtful expression.


    "Yes." Your humble concubine accepts the decree. " Qi Wanli lowered his head and said with his brows raised.


    "According to the heavens, this is the Emperor''s edict. Medical Saint Ruan Qingyan had done a great service in treating the royal concubine Qi, and she declared that the two of them should enter the palace together. "Here it is." When the eunuch had finished, he gave a piece of the yellow imperial edict to the princess.


    "This lowly concubine accepts the decree to thank you." After Qi Wanli had finished speaking, he stood up and followed the young eunuch into the palace. Afterwards, he was brought to the Imperial Garden.


    "..."


    Looking at the astonished Yu Ling Jing in the carriage, Qi Hui felt from the bottom of his heart how wonderful it was to have someone by his side. It was unlike the desolate and cold feeling he had when he was alone in the palace. Most importantly, this man was actually a dragon among men, a phoenix among men. He was a proud son of heaven, a man who gave him a sense of security, and also had the ability to protect himself. Thinking of this, she smiled as she sat beside the man. Like a child, she placed her head on Yu Lingjing''s shoulder. Yu Lingjing hugged the lovely person in his arms, and a happy smile appeared on his face.


    The carriage moved forward at high speed on a road that stretched out beyond sight.

 C55

    At noon, the carriage stopped in front of a noble and elegant manor. Shockingly, there were four large and powerful golden words in front of the manor: "Regent''s Manor".


    Yu Ling Jing opened the curtain and quickly got off the carriage, then turned around and extended his arm to support Qi Lun who was opening the curtain behind him. What a considerate man. How many people would be envious of such a scene?


    Looking at the words "Regent''s Manor" in front of her door, she felt an unprecedented joy in her heart. Before she had entered the palace, she had wanted to flee from the mansion, or to roam the martial arts world, or to live in seclusion in the mountain forest, without a care in the world?


    But now, for the first time, she felt that it was very intimate, like her own home. Was it because she had lived here for some time and felt some affection for it, or was it because someone she cared about lived here?


    The butler stood by the door as if he was waiting for someone. Yu Ling Jing pulled Qi Lun County in, and slowly walked in. The housekeeper''s body bent, and his kind and peaceful face revealed a faint smile, "My prince. The Princess came back. The Madam Minister of the Left has been waiting in the lobby for a long time. "


    "Yes." "Got it." Yu Ling Jing coldly spat out a few words, and without even looking at the butler''s eyes, he pulled Qi Lan into the doorway.


    Qi Wanjun was a bit excited in his heart. He couldn''t help but wish he could fly to his foster mother''s side like a little bird. Ever since the Qi Family had been annihilated, Qi Wan County had treated their foster father and mother as if they were real parents. Only in front of them could Qi Wan County relive its happiness as a daughter.


    She cared about them, respected them, and had to protect them, so she said nothing about revenge in front of them. She was afraid they wouldn''t be able to help her out of caring for her family.


    Just as they entered the hall, a graceful middle-aged woman wearing light brown silk clothes took two steps forward, "County Governor!" "You''re back."


    Qi Wanxian saw his foster mother make a naughty face, then he happily dived into her arms. Ever since the disaster at home, it was also the first time Qi and Hui County had let go of their hearts and acted like a spoiled child in front of their foster mother.


    "How old are you? Still being naughty like a child? " The Left Premier''s wife said smilingly as she hugged Qi Wanjun. She also glanced at Yu Lingjing who was beside her, who smiled and cupped her fists, "Young son-in-law is rude. "I''ve made mother-in-law wait a long time."


    The Left Premier''s wife smiled kindly. "No problem."


    Seeing Qi Wan''s sticking to the Left Premier''s wife, it was likely that the two of them would have a lot of secrets to talk about, so Yu Lingjing found an excuse, "That? Your son-in-law''s study still has a lot of official matters to handle, so he can''t accompany your mother-in-law anymore. " As Yu Ling Jing spoke, he swept his gaze across Qi Wan County, and its eyes flickered with joy. This man was quite tactful, so she added another point to his heart.


    "Your Highness, please do as you wish." Madam Zuo said blandly.


    Looking at Yu Ling Jing''s handsome back as he walked away, Madame Left Prime Minister said indifferently, "He''s a good man. I only hope that he will treat you sincerely. "


    Qi Wanjun slowly stuck his little head out from his mother''s bosom and said with a blissful expression, "Mother, don''t worry." The prince dotes on me. "


    "That''s good. Mother, you can rest assured. " As the Left Premier''s wife spoke, she patted Qi Dian''s small head.


    "Go mother. I have a lot to say to you. " He let go of the Left Premier''s wife with both hands, and with one hand he took her into his room.


    They entered the room and sat down on the bed.


    At this time, the maid, Liu Qi, walked in with a cup of tea. Qi Wan glanced at Liu Qi, and with a single glance from Qi Wan, Liu Qi tacitly stood at the door.


    "County? Mother heard that you were sick, what exactly happened? " Madam Zuo, who was holding Qi Shu''s small hand, frowned and asked with a worried expression.


    Just now, when the Prince was present, she was too embarrassed to ask. It wasn''t because the Prince was taboo, but rather because the Regent was a member of the imperial family. He had just gotten married to a man who had just gotten married to a woman in the Qing-Yun Realm. He was still unsure of his temperament and personality. Therefore, it was better to avoid saying anything in front of him.


    "I''m fine, mother. Don''t you think I''m better now? " Qi Wanxian smiled as he looked at the Left Premier''s wife and said indifferently. Qi Wanxian had already expected that her foster father would find out sooner or later. The emperor had ordered someone to post a notice stating that this matter could not be concealed, so she thought that she could conceal it for a time.


    "Your father was coming a few days ago? But we heard that the emperor has already asked, so we shouldn''t interfere in the affairs of the imperial family? Thus, today, I will come alone to see what exactly is going on.


    County Governor, you can''t blame your mother and your foster father, right? " The Left Premier''s wife felt a little sad. Even if her own daughter were to marry a member of the royal family, they would be helpless to do anything to her, would they?


    "Where did mother say that?" I am very grateful that you have come to see me. " As Qi Wanli spoke, he snuggled up to his mother with a blissful expression on his face.


    The Left Prime Minister''s wife hugged Qi Rong County tightly. She was a child who was having a hard time. Was it because her kindness had saved the Regent of the current dynasty and caused him to be exterminated? And he had no choice but to marry the person he saved for the sake of revenge.


    Who would have thought that before she had even married into the palace and had the chance to enjoy her fortune, she would have an urgent illness. Fortunately, the heavens were opening their eyes. This poor child was finally fine. He only hoped that she would be safe and sound in the future. I hope that the heavens will not make things difficult for this poor child anymore.


    Although the child looked strong on the outside, she was very fragile on the inside. She was a sensible child. For fear of implicating the Zuo Xiang Fu, she did not mention anything about revenge in front of them.


    As Madam Zuo thought about it, tears started to roll down her cheeks uncontrollably. Even her own daughter might not be able to match up to her at all.


    "Good boy. "Good child." As the Madam Minister of the Left spoke, she was already sobbing. She slowly let go of Qi Shu and turned her face away. She didn''t want this sensible child to see her sad appearance. That way, her heart would ache even more. But how could all this escape from the eyes of the county?


    "Mother. Don''t feel sorry for me. I''m really good here. The prince favors me in everything, and follows me. "If you don''t believe me, you can ask my servant Liu Qi." As he spoke, Qi Wan County shouted towards the door:


    "Liu Qi. "Come in."


    Liu Qi heard Senior Martial Uncle call her and slowly walked in. He squatted down and said, "Liu Qi greets the wangfei and the madame."


    Madam Zuo immediately wiped the tears from her eyes with her sleeve and pretended to be calm. She slowly turned around and forced a stiff smile, "So you are Liu Qi? What a beautiful young maid. "


    "Thank you for your praise, madame." Liu Qi said with an innocent face.


    Looking at this girl, Madam Zuo really liked her. The Left Premier''s wife seemed to see the shadow of the past in her?


    "How long have you been with the County?" Madam Zuo pretended to be indifferent.


    "Reporting to the madame. Your servant has followed Princess Consort since the day she entered the estate. " As Liu Qi said this, she glanced at Qi Wanshi. Qi Wanshi nodded, agreeing with her words.


    Madam Zuo glanced at the two''s actions and realized that the relationship between the two of them was quite deep. Then he gently said to Liu Qi, "Come. Girl. Come to me. "


    Liu Qi once again glanced at Qi Wanqian County. She wanted to know the meaning behind Martial Aunt Wangfei''s words. Qi Wanshi lightly nodded his head, and Liu Qi walked to the side of the Madam Minister of the Left with a ''hehe'' expression on her face.


    "Girl. "How old is he?" The Minister of the Left looked at Liu Qi, pulled her small hand, and gently asked.


    "Reporting to the madame." Your servant is thirteen this year. "


    "Is he still a child? "But it''s going to be soon. In two years, she will grow up to be a big girl." As the Madam Zuo Xiang spoke, she gently caressed Liu Qi''s forehead.


    "My apologies to the madame." Liu Qi said this with embarrassment, her face completely red. Having grown up, this was the first time other than Wang Concubine had pulled her and touched a stranger that was so close to her.


    "County son." Do you see how sweet this girl''s mouth is? I like it when I see it. " The Left Prime Minister''s wife swept her gaze across Qi Wan County as she said this, and Qi Wan County smiled faintly. "Liu Qi is the person that the Duke Palace''s County trusted the most."


    "Oh? "Then I have to take a good look." After listening to the words of the little girl, Madam Zuo became even more interested in this servant girl called Liu Qi. After looking at her carefully, she found that this little girl had a pretty face, and didn''t seem like a scheming girl. He was even more elated, thinking that if he was able to cultivate a person of his own to follow beside Little County, then he and the Master would be much more at ease in the future. Thinking about that, the Left Premier''s wife immediately took off an emerald bracelet from her arm and handed it over to Liu Qi, "Miss. You and I are friends at first sight. This is an old woman''s greeting gift. "


    "No, no, no. "Old madam, this servant cannot afford it." When Liu Qi saw the old lady give such a precious gift to her for the first time, she took a few steps back with a frightened expression and waved her hand as she spoke.


    From the looks of it, this little girl did not seem like she was faking it. Madam Zuo thought to herself. This way, she would like this girl even more. Still smiling, he continued, "It''s just a bracelet. I hope the girl doesn''t mind. "


    "Liu Qi. Since it''s from mother, you can accept it. " Seeing her foster mother''s sincere appearance, she knew that her mother must have really liked Liu Qi, or else she wouldn''t have given her such a precious jade table, so she made a favor out of it.


    "Since that''s the case. If wangfei says so, then this servant will thank the old mistress. " As Liu Qi spoke, she received the bracelet and kowtowed a few times.


    Seeing Liu Qi''s cute appearance, Qi Shu and the Left Premier both burst out laughing. The laughter was transmitted out of the palace and into the slowly moving white clouds.


    "..."

 C56

    Liu Qi slowly stood up and walked to the side of the Countess and Martial Aunt Wangfei.


    Liu Qi''s eyes flickered with tears and were filled with envy as she looked at the Princess Consort and Madam Zuo who were not mother and daughter but were instead more like mother and daughter. Liu Qi already couldn''t remember what it felt like to be his mother.


    In her memory, every time her father drank and beat her, her mother would rush up to her and block her father''s punches and kicks.


    Perhaps mother had a very sweet and happy feeling. She worked hard for her children and worried about them, just like how Madame Left Prime Minister treated her uncle master?


    "Liu Qi?" Madam Zuo looked at Liu Qi beside her and slowly said, "Is my son doing well at the Prince''s Mansion?" It was an ingenious question. Madam Zuo didn''t directly ask the prince if he treated her daughter well, but the meaning behind her words was like that. If her daughter wasn''t used to it, she could ask, "Is my son used to living in the Prince''s Mansion?" The meaning behind those words were that Madam Zuo had a good grasp over it.


    Qi Wan was startled, then she frowned, slightly worried. She was afraid that Liu Qi''s thoughts were pure, and that she wouldn''t be able to understand the mystery behind her mother''s words? Or perhaps it was Liu Qi giving her mother a careless look, letting her mother see some clues.


    Liu Qi was stunned by the madame''s question. She hadn''t read much, but she had stayed in the Prince''s Mansion for many years. She could hear the meaning behind her words. But she had to be more careful when she spoke ¡­


    Liu Qi blinked, and looked at Madame Left Premier with a smile. "Madame." You are overthinking it. Princess Hua-Yang and Prince Hua-Yang were as sweet as lacquer. I wonder how many other people have been envious of him? "


    "Oh? "Really?" If the county governor had said that she was doing very well, she would have thought that he was afraid of her being worried, which was why he said that. However, from this little girl''s mouth, she basically believed him. Looking at her innocent eyes, it didn''t seem like she was lying?


    Qi Ling looked at Liu Qi''s innocent appearance and thought of what she had said. She sighed in her heart. "Looks like I have still underestimated this little girl?" She really didn''t expect that not only did she hear the hidden meaning behind her mother''s words, she also did her a great favor.


    "Of course it''s true. "Do I look like a liar to you?" As Liu Qi said this, she brought her delicate, white, and small face closer to Liu Qi, showing a look like she was trying to get a good look at the Madame Minister of the Left.


    Madam Zuo was amused by Liu Qi''s expression, "You''re really clever." I believe in you. "


    Seeing that her mother''s face had now become a bit more peaceful, Qi Wanxian''s worried heart finally relaxed. It seemed that she had worried too much. However, in his heart, Qi Wan County had a whole new level of respect for Liu Qi, and it seemed that letting her senior sister take her as a disciple was the right decision.


    "Thank you, madame." Liu Qi had an innocent smile on his face.


    In the evening, the last rays of the setting sun faded away and hid in the darkness.


    After dinner, they stood outside the gates of the prince''s mansion.


    Qi Tong walked in front of the carriage while supporting his mother. He pouted his lips and pulled at his small face as he reluctantly asked, "Mother, why didn''t you stay for the night?"


    The Left Premier''s wife patted Qi Shu County''s arm and slowly said, "I''m worried about your father alone, right?"


    "Don''t we still have maids?" Qi Dian pretended to be angry as he said.


    "Why would a servant be kind to her mother?" Forget it, let''s end it here. The weather has turned autumn, and the night has turned cold. As the Left Premier''s wife spoke, she let go of Qi Wan County, which was supporting her, and was helped up the carriage by the butler.


    Seeing Madame Left Premier lift up the curtains, Yu Lingjing said lightly, "Please take care, mother-in-law." He turned to the butler and sternly said: "Butler." You must bring Madam An Ran back to her residence. "


    "Yes." "My lord."


    Seeing that her mother was getting further and further away from the carriage, a drop of tears of disappointment fell from Qi Wanjun''s eyes. It was as if her mother was getting further and further away from her. Yu Ling Jing slowly looked at Qi Shu County, with a face full of heartache, he pulled her into his embrace.


    "How many days do you want to stay in the House of Zuo? This King will have the steward send you back tomorrow. " He didn''t know what to say at the moment to comfort this pitiful beauty in front of him.


    Qi Dian''s watery eyes glanced at this man who had a powerful appearance but was not very adept at comforting women. From his cold eyes, she saw his fear and helplessness. A sudden urge to drink?


    "Can Your Highness agree to one of my requests?" Qi Wanxian stared at Yu Ling Jing in a daze.


    From the eyes of Qi Wanxian, Yu Ling Jing saw an urge to get an answer. Anyway, this situation was a bit of a wine to warm up his feelings. Yu Ling Jing didn''t say anything and just nodded.


    In the inner hall, in front of the dim oil lamp, Qi Wanshi took up the white jade wine cup and slowly poured a cup full of strong and fragrant wine for Yu Lingjing. He placed it in front of Yu Lingjing and didn''t even glance at the wine that Qi Wanli handed over.


    His gaze was fixed on Qi Wan County, watching this woman''s every move. He could tell that she had something on her mind. Since she didn''t say anything, he didn''t ask either. He just silently accompanied her like this. Time was peaceful and good.


    Qi Wan County poured himself a cup of wine, and slowly raised his cup, looking at Yu Ling Jing who was staring at him for a long time, he bitterly smiled and said, "Tonight, Prince will accompany me to drink anything you want? "Can I?"


    "Sure." Yu Lingjing coldly spat out these two words.


    Qi Wanjun''s face squeezed out a smile that was uglier than crying, and he raised his wine cup. "Many thanks to Prince." This lowly concubine will do first as a form of respect. "


    Yu Ling Jing felt his heart ache as he looked at the little girl in front of him. Looking at her made his heart hurt even more than she did. However, regarding this matter, Yu Lingjing really hated himself for not learning some skills from unruly officials to make women happy. Thinking of this, Yu Ling Jing lifted up his wine cup and drained it in one gulp.


    Qi Wanshi picked up the cup in front of Yu Ling Jing and filled it again. He also filled his bowl for himself, and just like that, he drank it all.


    "..."


    After an unknown amount of time, the wine bottle on the table had already been filled to the brim. Qi Wan County still felt that she still hadn''t drunk enough? He didn''t know why, but the more he wanted to get drunk, the harder it was for him to get drunk.


    She slowly stood up, but she didn''t manage to stand properly. She staggered and piled the wine bottles on the table onto the floor, and when she was about to fall down, she was caught by the man in front of her. Listening to the sound of the wine bottle smashing to the ground, her mind was extremely clear.


    Seeing this aloof and arrogant prince, whose appearance was even more beautiful than Pan An, his mind filtered the bits and pieces of him together. Qi Wanli truly wanted to put everything down and stay with him for the rest of her life, never leaving. However, he still had a blood feud that he hadn''t avenged yet. He couldn''t be so selfish and immerse himself in the love of his children.


    Speaking of revenge, Qi Wanshi felt really ashamed. So what if he had enemies in front of him? He didn''t have the power to take revenge, and he also didn''t have the power to protect the person he wanted to protect. As long as she thought of this, her heart felt as if it was filled with a myriad of knives that were stabbing pain. Today, her foster mother came. It was precisely because her foster mother came that she thought of her mother.


    Yu Ling Jing looked at the drunk yet not drunk little girl in front of him. Her red face was like a blossoming peach blossom, giving him an urge to kiss her.


    Yu Ling Jing suddenly felt that he couldn''t suppress his emotions anymore due to the alcohol, as if it was going to erupt at any moment. The moment that impulse reached his head, it was slowly extinguished by his reason. Yu Lingjing avoided Qi Shu County, and took a look out of the window, sighing.


    "Do you like me? Do you love me? " Qi Wanjun said blandly. He held the table and slowly walked in front of Yu Ling Jing. He accidentally fell into Yu Ling Jing''s arms.


    "This King naturally likes you. Otherwise I wouldn''t have married you. " Yu Lingjing was still looking out of the window, not looking at Qi Dian County in her arms. "Then, Your Highness, do you love me?" From Yu Ling Jing''s point of view, she might have drunk too much, but from his own point of view, he was abnormally clear-headed. He had merely borrowed her drunkenness to ask some questions that he didn''t have the courage to ask.


    "This King should love you." Yu Lingjing indifferently said, his heart extending to him. He was lost and confused, but he couldn''t tell what was the difference between liking and loving.


    "Look in my eyes." Qi Wan County said loudly.


    Yu Ling Jing slowly turned around, and his gentle, watery, and bloodshot eyes once again pulled Yu Ling Jing from reality into the abyss. That''s right. At this time, he didn''t dare to look into Qi Shu''s eyes. He was afraid that Qi Shu wouldn''t be able to control himself and would hate him for what he had done.


    Qi Dian looked at Yu Ling Jing''s concealed eyes and sneered. This man was too timid. Since he is timid, I will help him. Thinking of this, Qi Wanxian cherry under the small mouth, aimed at the man''s sexy thin lips, deeply buckled up.


    Seeing Qi Wanxian take the initiative to kiss him, Yu Ling Jing stretched out his arms and tightly hugged her, falling down with her. Qi Wan County slowly closed his eyes, then took the initiative to let Yu Ling Jing devour her step by step.


    She thought that Yu Ling Jing would turn her into a real woman when the iron was hot, but Yu Ling Jing stopped.


    Qi Wan opened his bloodthirsty eyes and looked at the man in front of him, then said coldly, "Why not me?"


    "You''re drunk. You will regret it. " Yu Lingjing said faintly. Although he had ten thousand urges for this woman in his heart, that was in her conscious state. At this moment, she was drunk, so he wouldn''t take advantage of her.


    Qi Wan County fiercely glared at him. He stretched out both of his hands, took off his clothes, hugged this man, and kissed him.


    At this moment, she was very clear-headed. She knew what she was doing. Perhaps it was only under the premise of being drunk that she could put down everything and allow herself to act recklessly.


    The night was very quiet and beautiful.


    "..."

 C57

    Early in the morning, under the urging of the crowing of the chickens, the sun lazily stretched out its arm and smiled as it shot out the first ray of light. That golden line warmly shone into the room and turned it into a golden color.


    Qi Wanshi woke up from his dream and slowly concentrated. Suddenly, he found that the arm he used to hug her had disappeared. He felt as if his body was floating, as if he was about to fly. She slowly opened her sleepy eyes and looked to her side. As expected, that person was not there.


    At this time, he should be in the imperial court, right? Qi Wan County glanced around at the table and floor that she had messed up the night before. Why was it so clean and tidy?


    It must be that girl Liu Qi who came early in the morning to help her clean the room. Thinking about this, Qi Wan''s small face revealed a faint smile. Yu Ling Jing had found for himself a girl who was not only diligent and loyal, but also clever and clever. Perhaps this girl was my greatest boon in this noble and elegant palace.


    It was late, but Qi''er was still sleepy. Last night''s strenuous exercise made every part of Qi and Wan County feel like it was going to fall apart. In particular, the area between his legs was filled with a heart-wrenching pain.


    The drunk scene from last night was still fresh in his mind, and Qi Lang didn''t regret it at all. Like this, he could give himself an explanation, an explanation to Yu Ling Jing.


    She couldn''t possibly keep this cold and proud prince, yet she was like a white lotus flower that could help him. Moreover, deep in her heart, she had some feelings for him, so she couldn''t help but lazily stretch her body and turn around.


    She closed her eyes and recalled all the details from last night with Yu Lingjing. Her delicate, white face was brimming with a kind of happy smile. If she could throw away everything, she would be willing to stay by his side for the rest of her life to do some mundane things. She was an ordinary woman who was only interested in her husband and children ¡­


    The sound of the door opening sounded out. Presumably, Liu Qi had entered. Qi Xi quickly turned around and saw Liu Qi carrying a hot water basin with both hands. She had a big smile on her face as she walked over.


    "Uncle-master Wangfei, you''ve been getting lazier and lazier lately?"


    "What do you mean?" Qi Tong frowned and looked suspiciously at Liu Qi. She didn''t understand what Liu Qi was referring to. Why did she say that she was getting lazier and lazier?


    Liu Qi walked to the side of the table and put down the basin. He slowly walked to the bed and looked at Martial Uncle Wang before him, saying seriously, "Martial Uncle, when you first came to the estate, I remember that you had two hours every day for training. But recently, Martial Uncle Wang Fei said that it was training?"


    He didn''t even seem to get out of bed. If this isn''t laziness, then what is it? " If it was in front of others, Liu Qi wouldn''t dare to say such words, but after getting along with her for a few days, Liu Qi discovered that her Martial Aunt Wang was not an ordinary woman.


    Xiao Ning naturally knew that Liu Qi was doing this for her own good, but she still wanted to tease this little girl. Every time she saw her, Qi Wanli couldn''t help but want to tease her a little, as if teasing Liu Qi would also add a bit of happiness and comfort to her boring life in the prince''s mansion.


    Qi Lan pretended to be angry, and immediately sat up, her hands on her hips, pulling her small face, and fiercely staring at Liu Qi, "Okay little girl? You want to rebel? How dare you talk to me like that? "


    "Liu Qi doesn''t dare." "But consort, you should go out and train and exercise, right?" Liu Qi''s words caused Qi Wan County to wake up as if they were in a dream. That''s right. Rather than staying in the prince''s mansion and doing nothing, why not go out and see what suitable place was suitable for cultivation?


    As long as his martial arts became more and more refined, why would he need to worry about the date of revenge? Thinking up to here, Qi Wan''s eyes flashed with a firm and unswerving light. She looked at Liu Qi with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, then quickly got off the bed.


    "You''re right. "Let''s go."


    "Go where?" Liu Qi frowned and asked with a puzzled expression. Wasn''t this Martial Uncle Wangfei changing a bit too quickly? He had just been sleeping on the bed, and now he was going out?


    "Take breakfast." After breakfast, we will leave the manor. " Qi Tong indifferently explained as she pulled Liu Qi away. She was impatient, so she could do whatever she wanted. It was just that the impatience he felt now was a bit more rational than before.


    "Butler." If the Prince comes back, I''ll have to trouble you to let him know, I have matters to attend to with Liu Qi. " Qi Wan wiped her mouth and looked at the middle-aged man beside her as she spoke gently.


    She did not like how arrogant and domineering she was in front of the servants, so she did not do it herself. The children of the martial arts world emphasized on the principles of the martial arts world ¡ª fairness, justice, harmony, and righteousness.


    She did not know what other people were like, and this was her Qi Province''s style of doing things. Whether it was in the martial world or the prince''s mansion, she had always kept to her ways. So, ever since she came to the Prince''s Mansion, these servants were privately discussing that not only did this wangfei have a devastatingly beautiful appearance, she even had a gentle and kind heart of a Buddha.


    "Yes, Princess. Do you want this old servant to send you there? " The steward said with a kind expression.


    "No need. Liu Qi can accompany me. "


    "..."


    Looking at the distant backs of Qi Wan County and Liu Qi, a red figure flashed over like a ghost. Her beautiful face didn''t have the slightest expression, and her ice-cold eyes shot out a cold light. If I didn''t see you poison yourself for the sake of helping the king, how could I forgive you?


    The crowd bustled with activity as they passed through who knew how many streets. The piercing sunlight shone on the pedestrians on the streets to the point that they couldn''t even open their eyes.


    After walking for almost an hour, Martial Aunt Wang still fearlessly walked forward, but Liu Qi behind her could not take it anymore, so it was no wonder. After all, Qi Shu was a person who had practiced martial arts, and although Liu Qi had been working since she was young, the work of the palace was not that hard? Not so tired, so her little body still?


    "Martial Aunt Wangfei?" Where are we going? " Liu Qi couldn''t help but ask. She really didn''t understand why her Uncle-Master Wangfei was the grand and majestic wangfei of the Regent''s Mansion. Why didn''t she come out in a carriage and choose to walk instead?


    However, she could even walk as a wangfei, let alone a young maid like him. She could only silently complain in her heart.


    Liu Qi''s unwillingness still couldn''t escape from her eyes. She glanced at Liu Qi and said righteously, "Little girl, how can you not suffer hardships if you want to become famous? "You can''t even take a trip like this?"


    "Who said that? Do you think I can leave faster than you? " Liu Qi was not convinced not because the wangfei had said something about her, but because she was a young and talented person who wanted to stand up in the martial arts world and not admit defeat. As she spoke, she quickly walked to the front of Qi Xi County.


    Seeing Liu Qi''s expression, Qi Tong, who was walking at the back, shook his head and laughed with a face full of smiles. "This girl is really ¡­"


    After an hour, Qi Wan and Liu Qi had passed over a majestic mountain and arrived at a beautiful little river. Green grass and dense flower fragrance filled the air with spring air? It''s just that why would there be a place like this this this season...


    "Wow. This place is so beautiful. " Liu Qi looked at such a beautiful place and couldn''t help but sigh.


    "Why does it feel like I''ve been here before?" Qi Wanli lightly said, but he couldn''t remember when he came to this place.


    "Uncle-master Wangfei." You said it''s autumn, why are there flowers and plants here? " Liu Qi blinked her eyes as she looked at Qi Wan County, longing to get the answer she wanted from her Royal Princess Martial Uncle.


    Qi Wanxian placed one arm on his abdomen while the other one rested vertically on his stomach. He frowned thoughtfully and shook his head. As for why it was like this, she did not know. She just felt that it was warmer here than outside. Perhaps it was due to the climate?


    Qi Wan County turned around and saw a large open space between the river and the mountain opposite. It was best to build an ideal house here with two or three floors, one side beside the mountain and the other side across the water. The house needed to have two windows, and after waking up, one could see a vague mountain in the distance.


    Thinking of this, Qi Wanxian smiled as she closed her eyes, raised her head, and stretched out her arms, as if she was already in a dreamy house.


    A light breeze blew by, gently blowing Qi and Tong Prefecture''s hair. The faint pink Luo Qu danced in the breeze. From afar, it really looked like a fairy in a dream.


    "Is it so beautiful here? Shall we give it a name? " Behind him, Liu Qi had a face full of smiles as she spoke, but she was also attracted by the scene in front of her.


    "Like a poem or a fantasy? Let''s call it the ''Illusory Valley''. " Qi Wan County maintained the posture of enjoying the natural scenery as he indifferently said.


    "Illusory Valley? "Listen well." Liu Qi shouted happily and jumped up. Her good luck had really come after following Uncle-Master Wangfei, but she didn''t have to work so hard. She could come out for a walk when she had something to do, and she even had to acknowledge Zhuge as her teacher to come to such a beautiful place to play? She was really too happy.


    Do you know about Yu Ling Jing? This Illusory Valley was so comfortable, so cozy. If I, Qi Wan County, avenged my great vengeance, would you be willing to settle here with me? Would we build a home that would only belong to the two of us? Would you like to come with me and rise at sunrise and return home at sunset? Will you stay here with me for the rest of your life?


    "Martial Aunt Wangfei, it''s getting late. We should head back." Liu Qi slowly walked over, and said with an unwilling expression.

 C58

    "Right." Qi Wanli faintly said this word, then he withdrew his arm, opened his eyes, and restored his calm face. The two of them glanced at this beautiful place once more before walking in the direction of the palace.


    "..."


    By the time he returned to the manor, it was already evening.


    "Butler, why are you here?" Qi Wanjun asked when he returned to the mansion and saw the butler standing at the entrance to greet him.


    "This old servant will wait here for the wangfei if there''s nothing else." The steward bent over with a warm smile on his face.


    Qi Wanli had a face full of laughter as he said, "Thank you, Butler." As he spoke, he entered the gates of the mansion.


    "Princess Hua-Yang is serious. This old man has nothing better to do than to idle away his boring time. " The butler''s casual words made Qi Wanli''s heart feel more at ease and more comfortable.


    She hadn''t thought that such an old housekeeper would be so kind and considerate. Deep down, she felt gratified for Yu Lingjing to have such a loyal and kind servant.


    "Where is the prince?" Qi Wan County indifferently asked.


    "Oh? "Princess Consort, please go out first. Your highness came back, but he was picked up by a servant sent by Young Master Guan before he could even step through the door."


    In other words, Yu Ling Jing hasn''t come back yet? Then, didn''t she need to explain to him what she had just prepared? Thinking of this, Qi Wanxian felt a little happy in her heart.


    "Oh. I''ll have to trouble the steward to help me and Liu Qi prepare some dinner. " Qi Wanshi County was indeed a little hungry, but just now after they passed by the streets and saw the dazzling sight of those snacks, they didn''t have any appetite.


    Ever since she was young, she had never liked eating those random things outside. Qi Wanxian thought that eating those things was not only unhygienic, but also unresponsible and insulting to her stomach and intestines. Therefore, she would rather starve to the point where she had to hurry home to eat.


    "Yes." Princess. This old servant will go and prepare. " The butler clasped his hands together and left.


    "Aiyo, my stomach is about to deflate from hunger." Seeing that the butler had already left, Liu Qi said with a face full of discomfort, as if she hadn''t eaten for a few days.


    It was no wonder that Liu Qi was so exaggerated. It had already been five hours since breakfast. Her stomach was already rumbling with hunger, but since Martial Aunt Wangfei wasn''t willing to eat outside, how could she have the face to eat alone? He had no choice but to persevere.


    Looking at Liu Qi''s impatient appearance? Qi Dian''s eyebrows jumped as he slowly said, "Who is that? Did she just say in the street that she wasn''t hungry? "


    "Who''s hungry? I''m not hungry at all. " Hearing the words of Martial Aunt Wangfei, Liu Qi suddenly seemed to be provoked. She became quick-witted and quickly stood up, then quickly walked forward.


    "Damn girl." "You better be careful with your words." Qi Wan spoke a few words, then followed Liu Qi to the inner hall.


    At this moment, the officials were singing and dancing.


    A half naked man in a purplish-red robe, holding a woman with a thick makeup on her body and holding a wine cup in one hand, said to another man who was even more handsome than himself, "Come. "Cheers."


    Yu Lingjing, who was standing across from him, shot him a fierce glance, and said coldly, "Are you that brazen? Are you not afraid of Qing Mo Xue? "


    The officer smiled obscenely as he kissed the woman in his arms, "She just received a message from Master to leave. There is also a letter for your wife. " As he spoke, he pulled out a folded piece of paper from his half-naked bosom and placed it on the table in front of him. The maidservant then stepped forward to deliver the letter to the Regent.


    Yu Ling Jing took the letter and placed it in his undergarment. He glanced at the official''s shadow and coldly said, "Qing Mo Xue just left and you''ve already started singing and dancing, looking for flowers?"


    The official sneered, "Do you think I''m as stupid as you? There''s only one woman you can''t get rid of. " Before the voice of the official could fade away, a white jade wine cup flew towards him. Seeing that cup hit his incomparably handsome face, he quickly moved to the side and the cup dripped onto the ground.


    Not only did Guan Yuanzhong not get angry, he even provoked him happily, "So you''re saying? Are you done? "


    "Quick." Hurry up and pour some wine for my wargod. His War God had finally become a true man, and he wanted to celebrate. But she couldn''t help but tease this cold and proud prince, "If you want me to say it, what''s the point of taking care of a woman? "You should learn like me. You can''t let her outshine all of us. You have to get soaked in all the rain and dew." After saying that, the official took a sip of wine with a complacent look on his face.


    Yu Lingjing''s face broke into a sneer. "You want me to be like you?"


    As soon as he said that, all the wine that was in the mouth of the official''s shadow spat out, one drop at a time. The servant girl that was pouring wine beside him laughed, and the official''s shadow became furious, "Laugh? Why are you laughing? "All of you, go down."


    The maidservants bowed and left the hall. The official, Sikong Ying, looked at the enchanting woman in his embrace whom he had kissed countless times. He then said loudly, "You too."


    Seeing that the official was angry, Yu Ling Jing was in a very good mood. There was a sense of triumph. At this moment, an official wearing a purple robe and half naked chest walked over. He pointed two fingers at Yu Lingjing while his other hand was on his waist. He was frowning and swearing like a shrew.


    I''m talking about Yu Ling Jing? War god? Regent? You... "Why are you ¡­"


    "How can you speak of me like that in front of a servant? Where do you put my face? " The shadow of the official was so anxious that he almost jumped up.


    Yu Ling Jing, on the other hand, was leisurely drinking his wine as if he hadn''t heard anything. After he finished drinking the wine, he slowly stood up. He looked at the shadow of the official and moved in front of him. The corner of his mouth slightly raised into an arc, "May I ask when young master official, when did you ask for your face?"


    The shadow official''s eyes widened in anger as his mouth gaped open? When he came back to his senses and wanted to continue cursing, he found that the speaker had already disappeared.


    In the Lord Regent''s inner chamber, Chirong County stood by the table, holding Liu Qi''s small hand and slowly teaching her to write her name. As she wrote, she muttered, "This is Liu? "Willow trees and willow trees are also willow trees of Liu Qi."


    "So this is my Liu Qi''s Liu?" The girl she was holding in her hand couldn''t help but call out when she saw the crooked "Liu" character on the paper after she finished writing. She finally recognized her surname.


    Seeing Liu Qi''s face brimming with excitement, Qi Tong''s confidence was as if she had eaten honey. She didn''t know why, but every time she saw Liu Qi happy, she would feel a kind of indescribable joy in her heart. Perhaps this was her love for a sister?


    "Come on, let''s write Liu Qi''s'' Qi ''again. It''s also the word Qi in Qi and Yu County. " As Qi Ling spoke, she once again held Liu Qi''s small hand, preparing to write something ¡­


    At this time, the door creaked open with a ''shove''. Qi Wanxian and Liu Qi both looked over at the same time, and saw a handsome and cold face.


    "The prince is back." As Liu Qi spoke, she shook off the princess'' hand and quickly walked in front of Yu Lingjing, bowing. "Your servant greets Your Highness."


    Yu Lingjing didn''t even look at Liu Qi, his cold eyes stared at her. With just a wave of his arm, Liu Qi retreated.


    At the same time, Qi Wan County''s smile froze on his face.


    Yu Ling Jing quickly walked to Qi Shu County''s side, a deep princess carried her, and the brush in Qi Lan''s hand slowly fell to the ground.


    "Do you regret it?" Yu Lingjing looked down on the woman beneath him. Although he already had her, he wasn''t a bandit, but he was a prince with supreme dignity. He wanted the woman beneath him to forever belong to him, regardless of whether it was in his body or in his heart.


    Of course, Qi Wan knew that Yu Ling Jing was referring to last night''s drunkenness. She looked at the man on top of her with eyes as gentle as water. She faintly smiled and shook her head.


    Looking at this woman''s rational appearance, Yu Ling Jing was like a soldier receiving orders. Her sexy thin lips fiercely kissed the woman''s tender and tasty mouth, and she was devoured step by step with an unprecedented force.


    This time was different from last night, his worries were not a problem. Since it wasn''t a problem, then he would enjoy his woman to his heart''s content like a man.


    It was just that Qi Wan County didn''t know how anxious and helpless she had been in Yu Ling Jing''s heart. She was a woman, and she would never be able to understand a man''s situation.


    Facing his beloved woman, he wanted to protect her, but he didn''t know how to. He wanted to comfort her, but he didn''t know how to comfort her. He wanted to obtain her, but he didn''t know how to make her belong to him without any regrets.


    Although this man was valiant and fearless on the battlefield, he was in such a sorry state in front of a woman. Perhaps, this was the difficulty of being a good man.


    Tears fell like pearls from those piercing eyes outside the window. Did they consummate their marriage? Hong Kou sneered. They actually made a round room, but what was I doing? What''s there to be sad about? They were husband and wife. But me? What''s wrong with me? I''m just a servant, what right do I have to care about this.


    "..."


    The night had turned cold, and the autumn wind was rustling the fallen leaves as it fell onto the ground. Hong Kou was only wearing a thin cardigan, which was as thin as a cicada''s wing, and he shivered. However, she seemed to be unable to feel any trace of coldness. Compared to her body, her heart was even colder. It was like falling into an icehouse, from the bottom of his heart to the tip of his feet.


    To love a person is to be happy, but to secretly love a person is indeed painful. If the person you have a crush on doesn''t know that you have a crush on him, and is still whispering to other women in front of you, then you will be in pain. Perhaps you won''t even have an intuition anymore.


    The hazy night was cold and desolate, with only a few faint stars occasionally shining and occasionally dimming.

    It was still dawn when Yu Ling Jing woke up. This was not only because of the imperial court, but because of his years of military life. Yu Ling Jing had already gotten used to waking up early in the morning, and even if he didn''t, he would still wake up at this time to train.


    Before the imperial court, Yu Ling Jing placed the letter from Qing Mo Xue to Qi Wan County on the table.


    When he reached the door, he looked back. In his dreams, he saw a cute and flirtatious woman. The corner of her mouth raised into a faint smile as she gently closed the door.


    It had to be said that the Qi Province of a wangfei really was much lazier than before. In the past, when he was at home or in the residence of the Minister of the Left, he would wake up early every morning to greet his parents.


    Since he had entered the Residence of Regent, he had been able to wake up naturally from his sleep.


    As the Regent''s Estate existed independently outside the palace, Yu Lingjing''s mother was no longer present. The Emperor had only called her over once in a while. In addition to the Prince, everyone else in the estate were servants.


    In the imperial court, a middle-aged man wearing a dragon crown and nine dragons'' golden silk robes slowly walked to the side of the throne and sat down. The officials all loudly shouted, "Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"


    "Everyone, please rise." Yu Lingxuan, who was sitting on the dragon throne, waved his arm and shouted. The rest of the group immediately stood up.


    "Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival? May I know how our beloved officials are preparing to pass this time? " In truth, he didn''t have any other intentions. But, his ministers were usually too full of flattery and suspicions, to the point that even the simplest of words from him would be read by them for a long time.


    Minister, are you looking at me? I''m looking at you? He didn''t know what to say. Afraid that he had accidentally said something wrong, or perhaps he had said too much? In order to be safe, it was better not to say anything.


    "Oh? "Even our beloved officials have to ponder over how to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival for so long?" Yu Lingxuan, who was sitting on the dragon throne, sneered. Were his subordinates usually scheming and scheming? How could they please each other so easily? However, when they were asked for advice, they all backed off and remained silent.


    "Reporting to your majesty, every year, this old official of Mid-Autumn will eat a reunion dinner with his family and admire the moon. That''s all." The speaker was the Minister of the Left, the foster father of Qi, the Lord Regent''s father-in-law. With a simple sentence from the Minister of the Left, his true thoughts were revealed, which meant that to him, talent was the most important thing.


    "Minister Zuo, you are so elegant. How fortunate." Yu Lingxuan faintly said.


    Seeing that someone had started the conversation, the other ministers stood up to speak as well.


    "Reporting to Your Majesty. This humble subject likes to bring the whole family to the Drunken Immortal Tavern to have a feast. "


    "Reporting to Your Majesty. This humble subject will spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with my colleagues. "


    Report to the emperor. This humble subject will go back to my hometown and spend Mid-Autumn with my parents. "


    "..."


    Humph. This group of crafty and cunning officials didn''t say a word when I asked you all about it. Now that someone has started it, their mouths are talking nonstop like a flood.


    After all the officials had stopped their discussion, Yu Lingxuan glanced at Yu Lingjing, who stood silently at the foot of the hall, and asked with a smile, "I wonder how your royal brother will spend this Mid-Autumn Night?"


    No expression could be seen on Yu Lingjing''s handsome and cold face. He cupped his hands together and said calmly, "Reporting to Your Majesty." This humble subject will enter the palace to meet you for a feast, just like in previous years. "


    "Alright. His royal brother had just gotten married, so he brought his royal sister with him to the palace. "It''s bustling with noise and excitement." In the depths of his heart, he rather liked this imperial sister of Qi Wanli''s. He hoped that her empress would be able to walk around with her and learn from her as a wife, and not be so scheming and scheming all day long.


    "Thank you, Your Majesty. This subject obeys. " Although Yu Lingjing said this, in his heart, he didn''t want Qi Wan County to enter the palace.


    He was afraid that she would cause trouble for him at any moment. Even if Qi Wanli was obedient, there was still the empress and the crown prince in the palace, and they were scheming against each other. He was afraid that he wouldn''t be able to protect his own woman.


    However, the Mid-Autumn Festival was originally a reunion day. Ever since mufei had passed away, his relatives had gradually dwindled. Now, only his imperial brother Yu Lingxuan and his family remained.


    However, he couldn''t refuse this Mid-Autumn Festival. He couldn''t leave any clues for the Crown Prince.


    The crown prince, who was standing on the other side, didn''t say anything. He glanced at the Regent with a sinister gaze. The corner of his mouth curled up into an evil grin.


    "Proclaim my will. On this year''s Mid-Autumn Festival''s night, any official above the third rank may enter the palace to attend our royal family''s feast. " As soon as Yu Lingxuan finished speaking, the crowd of officials shouted:


    "This subject and others thank Your Majesty for his grace. Long live the Emperor. "


    "Withdraw." A sharp and thin voice rang out.


    "..."


    At the same time, when Qi Wanxian got up, she saw the letter that Yu Lingjing had placed on the table:


    My junior sister is well, since I have already accepted Liu Qi as my disciple, I hope that she will teach me more when I am not here. In addition, please in the Mid-Autumn Night must be careful of the crown prince, senior sister Mo Xue.


    Could Junior Sister please be careful of the crown prince on the Mid-Autumn Night? What did she mean? What did she mean? Could it be the Crown Prince? When he thought of this, Qi Wan County deeply frowned, and tightly grasped the letter in his hand with a dignified expression.


    In the evening of the next day, a black silhouette swiftly flashed into the Crown Prince''s study.


    "We must get rid of him tonight." With a gloomy voice that sounded like it came from hell, a young man wearing a yellow dragon robe played with the two walnut-sized iron balls in his hands. With a gloomy voice that sounded like it came from hell, a young man dressed in a yellow dragon suit played with the two walnut-sized iron balls in his hands.


    "This subordinate understands." "Please rest assured, Master."


    The yellow clothed man waved his arm, and the black clothed man turned around and left. The yellow robed man sneered. He looked at his palm and muttered to himself, "Tonight?" Yu Ling Jing. You can''t get out of my hands.


    In the inner hall of the Regent''s Manor.


    Yu Ling Jing straightened his clothes, then looked at Qi Lan and Liu Qi who were dressing themselves in front of the mirror and asked, "Are you ready?"


    "My lord. Wait a minute. "It''s going to be ready soon." Liu Qi giggled.


    Qi Wanjun sat in front of the bronze mirror, her mind completely focused on her senior sister''s letter.


    Since Senior Sister has left this letter, I presume Senior Sister must have found out something? Where would the Crown Prince make his move? The security of the manor was tight, and the crown prince would never do it openly. This way, both sides would suffer.


    It was impossible for the palace to hold a banquet. Since the emperor had ordered all officials above the third rank to attend, then the imperial guards would definitely be unable to escape. The crown prince was not a retard.


    The only thing left to do was to go to the palace. Since it was a family banquet, those attending the banquet would not bring that many guards. Thus, this was the best time to assassinate them. On the way or on the way back?


    "Well, my lord. Come and see how beautiful the wangfei is, right? " Liu Qi''s voice brought Qi Lun back to reality.


    Qi Dian looked at his reflection in the copper mirror, and started to wave the hairpin around. He became even more lively, and his face became even more beautiful and limpid after being touched by the rouge and cosmetic powder.


    The corner of her mouth curled up in a faint smile. She turned her beautiful body around, making Yu Ling Jing dumbstruck.


    This woman''s skin was not only creamy, but also beautiful, like a fairy. Now that this beauty had become his consort, Yu Lingjing felt an indescribable joy and pride in her heart.


    "My wife is as shocking as the heavens today. She must be proud of the imperial harem." Since she was young, she had always been controlled by beautiful women, and she was afraid that others would make fun of her beauty the most.


    "Your Highness is too serious." About that, it''s getting late, let''s hurry up and enter the palace. " As Qi Wan said this, she took the lead and walked out. Liu Qi secretly ran in front of Yu Ling Jing, her face full of smiles as she whispered, "Your highness." "I''m sorry, but you should hurry up and chase after her."


    Yu Ling Jing glanced at this little girl, and quickly caught up to Qi Wanli.


    She couldn''t let her husband see through her, so she pretended to be calm and maintained her smile. It wasn''t until she arrived at the entrance of the palace and got off the carriage that she could finally relax.


    Since they were safe on their way here, would the Crown Prince make his move on the way back?


    "My wife. "What are you thinking about?" Yu Ling Jing inadvertently noticed Qi Wan County''s absent-minded look, and asked. Qi Wan''s eyes flashed, and laughed: "Nothing? It''s just that the carriage was too rushed just now, so I got a little dizzy. "


    "It''s good that you''re fine. "Let''s go." Yu Lingjing spoke indifferently. A thick and warm big hand tightly held the small, thin, and cold hand of Qi Wan County as she walked forward. Qi Wan''s small face was brimming with a happy smile.


    "The wangfei is really like glue that can enrich the bystanders." A second rank official, accompanied by his wife, said with a smile when he saw the once arrogant and aloof Regent. He was so considerate in front of his wife and did not care about the many court ladies who came and went, even holding hands with her.


    Yu Ling Jing didn''t pay attention to the official as he continued walking, but Qi Wan''s face was as red as a ripe apple. She tried to break away from Yu Ling Jing''s hand, but was held back by Yu Ling Jing, who held her wrist tighter. When someone said this again, Yu Lingjing smiled back at them.


    Qi Wan County didn''t have any way to break free, but it couldn''t break free. He wanted to find a hole to hide in, but he found that the palace was covered in glazed road stone tiles, and there was nowhere he could hide?


    Helpless, Qi Wanli could only smile along with him, but her smile was even uglier than crying.

 C60

    Looking up at the night sky, the sky was as clear as water and the moon was as bright as a mirror. Looking at the bright moon like a plate of jade, Qi Wanxian thought of an ancient poem: The sky will today, the moon night, once washing the ocean; The sky will be clear in summer, the autumn will be clear; The stars will shine, the wind will shine; To be able to change the world, it is definitely Yujing.


    In such a scene, Qi Wanli County was filled with emotion. Perhaps the only thing in this world that would never change was the moon.


    When he arrived at the main hall, most of the officials and their wives had already taken their seats.


    At this time, a man wearing a yellow dragon robe walked towards them. When he saw Qi Lan and Yu Ling Jing, a disgusting and sinister smile appeared on his face. "Uncle Huang, Aunt Huang, hello!" Although he said this, he was actually calculating in his heart. Let''s see if you can return alive tonight.


    Yu Lingjing said faintly, "There''s something wrong with the atmosphere today?" Why did the crown prince take the initiative to greet This King? " This crown prince was so rude to him in front of the emperor, so why did he do so today?


    Qi Wan County knew that the Crown Prince had something to hide. Looking at his pretentious face, he really wished that he could cut him into a thousand pieces. Just as she was about to step forward, Yu Lingjing grabbed her hand and pulled her behind her.


    Imperial Winds continued to laugh disgustingly, and said slowly, "Oh? Today was the Mid-Autumn Festival. Aside from the past, you are my uncle, and I am your nephew. It''s only right for this nephew to greet his uncle, isn''t it? "


    Yu Lingjing snorted in her heart. You actually know that I''m your uncle and you''re my nephew? Which nephew of his would be able to do this to his own uncle, then frame him over and over again until he died?


    "Crown Prince, you are too kind. I hope you think so too. " With that said, Yu Lingjing pulled Qi Dian behind him and left. He did not want to waste any more words with this savage nephew in front of him. The two of them enjoyed the delicacies together.


    However, the Emperor''s banquet was truly extraordinary. He had all sorts of fruits and snacks.


    Some looked like they were about to jump up from their seats; some were crawling on their plates looking like a lazy lamb, causing others to be unable to tell if they were real or fake. The most outrageous part was that the dragon carved from carrot was placed in front of them, looking as if it were alive.


    That must be the Emperor''s seat. Qi Wanli gave one last look, and the watermelon in front of him was cut into the shape of a lotus. Qi Wanli was dumbstruck as if he couldn''t bear to eat it.


    Multicolored mooncakes were brought up one by one by the fairy-like maids and placed on everyone''s table. Next were abalones, fish wings, chicken, duck, goose, eggs, and so on.


    "The Emperor has arrived." Following a sharp and thin voice, a middle-aged couple wearing yellow clothes walked up to the dragon that was carved out of carrot. Everyone immediately kneeled down as they shouted,


    "Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"


    "The empress has lived for thousands of years."


    When the couple dressed in yellow finally sat down, Yu Lingxuan waved his arm. "All beloved officials, please rise. "Sit."


    "Thank you, your majesty."


    Everyone stood up and took their seats.


    "Aiyo." Isn''t this royal sister? "Such a charming and charming person, even I am ashamed of myself for removing dirt from a person''s face." Seated next to the Emperor Yu Lingxuan, the empress Shangguan Yao pretended to look at Qi Shou''s beautiful appearance in surprise. However, her acting skills really made Qi Shou not dare to compliment her.


    Qi Wan County coldly snorted in his heart. This Queen was really the son and mother of the Crown Prince? The tone of his voice was the same. He really did agree with that sentence. If he had a mother, he would have a son. If he had a son, then he would have a son; if he had a son, he would have a son, and if he had a son, then he would have a son.


    However, she was still the empress and the mother of a nation. Qi Wanxian''s delicate face forced out a very forced smile as she clasped her hands together. "How can a lowly concubine match up to the empress in the slightest."


    Qi Wan County''s flattery made Shangguan Yao burst with joy. Which girl didn''t want to be called her beauty? At this moment, she pretended to be embarrassed and said, "I''m old, how can I compare with you? "What do you say, royal brother?" This cunning woman had thrown this problem to Regent Yu Lingjing.


    Yu Lingjing''s lips curved up into a faint smile as he cupped his fists and said, "The empress is the mother of a nation. Her every word and action is the role model for all women in the world." "How can a lowly concubine compare to him."


    He didn''t say how beautiful his wife was, nor did he say how beautiful the empress was. He only said what a nation''s mother should be, and that was all he wanted from her.


    How could Shangguan Yao not understand, even if others did not understand her? She still didn''t understand him, but she was even more shameless than that shameless person. How could she miss the matter of plastering gold on her face?


    She pulled at the emperor sitting on the side, feigning embarrassment as she said in a spoiled manner, "Your majesty?" Look. This royal brother sure knows how to talk. This chenqie is too embarrassed to say such a thing. "


    "Yes." The Emperor''s words are extremely true. " Yu Lingxuan patted the arm of the woman beside him, pretending to agree.


    Even if he had closed the door of his wife''s house, Yu Lingxuan wouldn''t say a word in front of outsiders. After all, the Emperor was the ruler of a country, and if he needed face, then his wife was only half of his dignity. As long as someone flattered him, regardless of whether it was true or not, he would just open his eyes and laugh.


    All the officials watched, this was the empress dowager, the princess'' entire family, each word and each word, no one would say another word, after all this was a royal affair, they would not interfere if they could, they would not interrupt if they could, if they couldn''t, they wouldn''t interrupt if they couldn''t, and if they couldn''t, they would provoke a ruckus, making themselves inhumane inside and outside.


    "Let''s begin the banquet." The eunuch''s shrill voice rang out as the banquet began.


    The Crown Prince did not say anything else that night. He just sat there obediently and ate his food, as if the existence of the others had nothing to do with him. This strange action of his caused Yu Lingjing to feel uneasy. What was wrong with him? Or perhaps it was the prelude to a storm?


    Two hours later, the feast was over. The Minister and his wife left one after another. Yu Ling Jing wanted to leave with the court officials, but for no reason, she was forcefully dragged down by the empress, forcing them to talk for an hour. Originally, Qi Lun had wanted to have the company of the court officials, but the crown prince didn''t dare to be too presumptuous, so he could only rely on himself.


    After leaving the Imperial Palace, Qi Wan County opened the carriage curtain and found that there wasn''t even a single pedestrian on the street. The cold autumn wind blew directly towards him, and a sort of coldness assaulted his face.


    At this moment, only by quickly returning to the manor could he ensure his safety. Thinking to this point, Qi Wan shouted to the carriage driver, "Master. "Let''s speed up."


    "Good ¡­" "Eh?"


    Hearing the driver''s voice, a burst of horse cries followed. Qi Wan County shouted loudly, "Be careful, Prince." With a leap, he jumped out of the carriage.


    "Who are you?" A masked assassin coldly asked. For professional assassins, it was disdainful for them to pay attention to these people who didn''t care about the main issue. As long as they didn''t interfere, they didn''t want to waste their energy and seek trouble.


    "Those who know my name are all dead." Qi Wanjun coldly said as he quickly took out the flexible sword that he had followed for many years from his waist. With a spin, he kicked out a few times and easily knocked down the black-clothed man.


    Another person who was hiding in the darkness said harshly, "All of you, attack!" Do not let anyone who is in your way off scot-free. " As he finished speaking, a dozen or so black-clad men rushed out. At this time, the Regent King, Ling Jing, also spun around and broke through the door from the top of the carriage. He began to fight with the black-clothed man who was flying towards him.


    It was just that Black Robe, who had been hiding in the darkness and issuing the order, hadn''t made a move yet. He had been watching their fight the entire time, but for some reason, he felt like he had seen this wangfei''s move somewhere before. It looked familiar, but he couldn''t recall where.


    When he looked again, his men were lying in pools of blood.


    "There''s one more." Qi Dian shouted as he prepared to pounce towards the black clothed man, but Yu Ling Jing stopped him, and said coldly, "Let him go back and send a message to his master, wanting to kill Ben Wang? "It''s not that easy."


    The autumn wind blew the fallen leaves on the ground, causing the desolate street to become even more desolate.


    A black dog was hiding in front of the inner hall of a noble and elegant mansion. A man in black clothes, who had run away, kneeled down in front of a man in a yellow dragon robe. This man''s ferocious face didn''t have the slightest trace of a living person, and he played with a walnut-sized iron ball in his hand, fiercely asking, "Did you fail again?" As he finished his sentence, a steel ball grazed the face of the man in black and struck the head of the dog that was lying outside the door. The dog died on the spot.


    This scene caused the black clothed man who was kneeling on the ground to tremble in fear. He took a deep breath and knew that this was a threat from his master. Maybe the next time he would end up like that dog.


    "Say it? "What''s going on?" After a moment of silence, the yellow man closed his eyes and slowly asked,


    "It''s not that my men are useless." But there''s a particularly powerful woman helping him? " The black clothed man said while trembling,


    "Women?" The Crown Prince was confused.


    "That''s right. It was a woman. "Seems to be the same woman who rescued the Regent on his way back to the capital." The man in black said without even raising his head.


    The Crown Prince opened his eyes, "So it''s someone from the Qi family? Didn''t they say that there is no one in the Qi Family that can live? "


    "But. The corpses of the Qi Family members have all disappeared? " The black clothed man said in a submissive manner,


    "A fish that slipped through the net?" Suddenly, a glint flashed in his eyes, as if something had occurred. He looked at the kneeling man in black and said coldly, "Go and investigate. If she really is a fish out of the Qi family''s net, then get rid of her at all costs. Otherwise, that dog will be your end."


    "Yes." "Yes, sir."


    "F * ck off."


    If that woman really was the fish that escaped the net of the Qi family, after all, they had an irreconcilable feud, and he could not let her live in this world.

    When he returned to the manor, almost all of the servants had gone to bed, leaving only the butler waiting.


    "This... What was going on? "What about the carriage?" The steward asked anxiously as he saw his princess consort riding in on the same horse. Her clothes were still stained with blood, but the carriage from before was no longer there.


    Yu Ling Jing quickly got off the horse, and helped his wife Qi Lun off the horse, and gave the rope to the butler. There was not a trace of emotion on his cold face, only a soft sigh.


    He didn''t say anything. He didn''t want to say anything. He really had nothing to say to this nephew of his who was covered in human skin.


    What he had said in the palace was still vivid in Yu Lingjing''s ears. That was the last bit of hope he had for his nephew. Even though he knew it was impossible, he still harbored some illusions.


    He imagined that if his nephew Yu Hanfeng would no longer oppose him and no longer think of ways to kill him, he might be able to let bygones be bygones and not care about him. However, this fantasy was still just an illusion.


    Deep down in one''s heart, the saddest and most disappointing thing is not that there is never any expectation, but that the expectation you had just turned into disappointment.


    "We''ve encountered an assassin!" Qi Wan said indifferently, looking at Yu Ling Jing beside him, his handsome cold face swept the goods with a trace of disappointment.


    Qi Wan County understood him, understood him, and knew that Yu Ling Jing''s heart was extremely uncomfortable. Just now, he was ambushed by his nephew once again. However, this sort of thing was nothing out of the ordinary. However, it remained that similar blood was flowing from their bodies.


    This was because, in order to maintain their position in the royal family, for the sake of the supreme being position, these families who should have been close to them might have done so for their own benefit, but in order to protect themselves, they had no choice but to do so.


    In front of that illusory throne, the affection they should have towards each other was pale and weak. They couldn''t even withstand a single blow. Perhaps this was the sorrow of a royal?


    "This is all your subordinate''s fault. If your subordinate had insisted on going with you to the banquet, perhaps ¡­" The butler blamed himself as he spoke.


    Yu Lingjing said coldly, "This has nothing to do with you!" He then turned around and left.


    "Prince ¡­"


    "The Prince said it has nothing to do with you! Don''t think too much. " Qi Wanli faintly smiled. It seemed that he did not put the matter of the assassination in his heart.


    "But this is the capital? How could that person dare to brazenly assassinate the Duke? " The butler looked at Qi Dian County with a puzzled expression. Qi Dian cupped his fist with his hand and sneered, "Don''t you forget, that person is the crown prince? What can anyone do to him but the Emperor? "


    The butler nodded. That''s right, so what if he assassinated the king? Even though the prince was the emperor''s brother, the crown prince was still his son.


    "Sigh ¡­" I was careless! It seems that I have to properly adjust my mansion in the future. I have to find a few secret guards to protect the prince. " As the butler spoke, his eyes flashed with a cold light.


    "Hmm, I''ll be troubling you, Butler?" It''s getting late, let the steward rest. " After Qi Wanjun finished speaking, he turned around and left with a smile on his face.


    The next morning, sixty-four masked men dressed in black were standing with their hands behind their back on the training field in the backyard of the Regent''s Mansion.


    A high-spirited, valiant middle-aged man was standing on the drill grounds, "As the saying goes, a thousand days is enough to raise an army, but a few days is enough for a single soldier! Now is the time for you to be loyal to the Prince. " This middle-aged man was the butler, a loyal servant of the prince who taught him martial arts.


    The sixty-four guards standing below were secret guards that had been carefully trained by the steward for many years. Normally, they were not allowed to show their faces unless the prince''s residence was in grave danger! However, his master had been ambushed one after another, so he had no choice but to use these secret guards.


    "Subordinate vows to be loyal to Your Highness!" The sixty-four people below clasped their hands together and knelt on one knee as they shouted.


    "Good!" Then I shall give you a chance! " The butler said in a loud voice. Looking at the high-spirited young men below, the butler seemed to be able to see the shadows of his youth. At that time, his martial arts skills were not considered to be the best in the world, but he didn''t even put ten princes in his eyes.


    "But! Not every one of you has the opportunity to do so. In a while, I will have you two compete in a group. Half of you will be eliminated in the first round! According to the rules of the first round, the second round would continue to eliminate half of the participants. The third round would be the same! There are only four people left at the end of the last round, and that''s the winner.


    "Understood!"


    "Good!" Begin! The first round will be held in an incense stick of time! " After he finished speaking, the steward waved his arm and a servant beside him lit the incense.


    After the butler finished speaking, the dark guards who were covering their faces began to fight intensely. They had all practiced for many years, and none of them wanted to be the losers. Since they were masked, they wouldn''t be polite regardless of whether the other party was a brother or son.


    "Good!" "Time''s up!" The butler turned around and saw that out of the sixty-four people who were originally standing, only thirty-two were standing, with the remaining half lying on the ground.


    "Help your defeated opponent to rest. After an hour, we will begin the next round of the martial arts competition!" As the butler finished speaking, he stood on the drill ground and watched as the victors helped the losers down one by one. A faint smile appeared on his face.


    The guards that the steward had trained were all men of justice and martial arts, but they had never seen each other. Other than the steward, no one had ever seen their true faces, and what they were wary of was the day they would be captured and implicated.


    At the same time, Qi Wanxian continued to teach Liu Qi how to write. After these few days of practice, not only did Liu Qi write her name, she even recited half of the Three Character Classic. She was very smart, and her progress was also very fast.


    "Is Liu Qi tired? "If you''re tired, then take a rest." This little girl was very studious and had a lot of talent. It wasn''t just because of Senior Sister''s instructions? It was also because he liked this little girl. No matter what he did with her, it would be very interesting, including teaching her how to write and how to read.


    "Martial Aunt Wangfei!" I''m not tired. " Liu Qi giggled. Compared to all the other jobs she had done before, writing and reading was her greatest happiness. Even if it meant tiring, she would still willingly do it.


    It''s been two hours. Even if it''s a wooden block, she should at least rest for a while, right?" What''s more, she was a living person. That girl was eager to learn, but learning was a gradual process, so she wasn''t in a rush at this moment. As the saying goes, if you can''t eat a fatty in one bite, you can''t step one foot into the sky.


    "Aren''t you tired?" Qi Wan frowned and asked with a provocative expression.


    Liu Qi blinked her round little eyes and nodded innocently.


    "But I''m tired?" He pretended to look very sleepy and tired. "Aiyo, my waist, I''m really tired. Also, my shoulders are sore, right?"


    When Liu Qi saw that Wang Shishi was really tired, he hurried over to her side and reached out with her fair hands to rub her shoulders. "How was it? Is Martial Uncle feeling better? "


    "Hmm, much better! But my nose and eyes are tired too, what do you think we should do? " Qi Wanjun continued to feign an uncomfortable expression as he rubbed his eyes and pinched his nose.


    "Ah?" "Martial Aunt Wangfei, are you sick?" Liu Qi had a worried expression as she said this. She was afraid that if Martial Uncle Wang really became ill, the prince would blame her for not being able to serve him properly. What if the prince lost his temper and didn''t want her to serve him? Then her good days would come to an end? Thinking of this, Liu Qi''s heart immediately skipped a beat.


    "Oh? If you accompany me for a walk, perhaps you will be better at once? " Qi Ling saw Liu Qi''s worry and lightly said. Her eyes were fixed on Liu Qi''s eyes, and she secretly laughed in her heart. I can''t lie to my Senior Sister. Could it be that you can''t deceive her disciple? Hehe.


    "Then shall we go?"


    After exiting the house, he realized how bright the sunlight outside was. He put his small hand in front of his eyes and looked at the sunlight through the gaps between his fingers. He immediately felt comfortable and comfortable. With that, he walked to the drill grounds in the backyard.


    "The third round is over. Let''s begin the last round!" "Half an incense stick of time!" As soon as the butler finished speaking, the eight masked men began to fight in pairs. One of the men hit his opponent in the chest with his right fist at lightning speed and knocked him down to the ground.


    The other black-clothed person used an uppercut fist to take advantage of the opponent''s inattention and hit his stomach and ribs, also knocking his opponent to the ground. Another man in black used the ninth form of Tempest Palm''s undercurrent to catch the opponent off guard ¡­


    "These people are so powerful, Uncle-Master Wangfei." Liu Qi laughed and called out. Qi Wanli lightly said a word, "Shh!" Liu Qi then quieted down.


    Looking at the four men in black who were still standing, they kneeled down in front of the butler, "This disciple is useless! Master, please advise me! "


    "Report your identities!" The steward exclaimed loudly.


    "Number 8!"


    "Number 17!"


    "Number 39!"


    "Number 60!"


    The four masked men reported the number that their master had given them and stood up.


    "From today onwards, Number Eight will be the Wind Guard!" Number seventeen was the Rain Guard! Number 39 was Thunder Protector! Number 60 was the electric guard! In the future, the four of you will use wind, rain, lightning and thunder to replace your previous numbers and wholeheartedly protect your highness! At all times, you will always stand by the side of the Prince like a shadow. "


    "Yes!" Master! "


    With a wave of the steward''s hand, the four of them disappeared from the drill grounds! When the butler saw Qi Wan County and Liu Qi, he walked down with a ''hehe'' expression on his face.

 C62

    "This old one is untalented, I''ve let the wangfei down!" The butler had a benevolent look on his face as he chuckled and said.


    Qi Wan County was wondering just now, who exactly was this butler? How could he be so capable? Only now did Qi Hui County suddenly feel that after coming to the Prince''s Mansion for so long, this butler was so unfamiliar to him, and he actually didn''t even know his name.


    Perhaps, he didn''t even understand the entire Duke Palaces. There were hidden dragons and crouching tigers within, so he couldn''t underestimate them.


    "Where? But, housekeeper, you surprise me. " "It seems that I have to properly adjust the mansion in the future. I have to find a few secret guards to protect the prince." When the butler mentioned it, she just ignored it. She didn''t expect it to happen today.


    "They''re all flowery martial arts, aren''t they worth mentioning compared to you, Consort Wang?" Did the housekeeper''s calm face give Qi Wanliang a sense of peace? It seemed to have something to do with this man who was in his forties and had an extraordinary bearing.


    "The butler is serious!" "What is your name, butler?" Qi Wan County curiously asked. Her eyes were filled with desire, longing for the butler to give her a satisfactory answer.


    "This old man''s cheap name is not worth mentioning." The steward laughed and said.


    It seemed that the steward still wanted to continue to argue with her. Qi Lan raised her eyebrows and glared at the steward with a serious expression. "What if I still want to know?"


    "I wonder if Royal Concubine has heard of Nangong Yu?" The steward said casually.


    "The only son of the Nan Jiang Family that has shocked the martial arts world for twenty years? Nangong Yu? " Qi Wan County looked at this middle-aged man with an extraordinary bearing with a surprised expression.


    "That''s right!" "That''s me!" The steward''s deep eyes shone with a desolate light, as if speaking of the wise reminded him of a past he could not bear to look back on. The former Nangong Family was just like the former Qi Family. They thought that they would be able to get away with it without any conflicts between the imperial government. Who would have thought that they would still end up doing the same thing?


    "You are the number one expert of the martial arts world, Nangong Yu?" Qi Wan County''s eyes were wide open in disbelief.


    The steward in front of him was the number one expert from twenty years ago? The Jiang-Nan Nangong family was like a martial arts mythology. The old manor lord Nangong Bo had unparalleled kung fu skills, standing alone in the world. He was a very straightforward person and had great standing and prestige in the martial arts world.


    He was truly afraid that his son would fall out of his grasp. With his mouth filled with fear, it was almost as if he was picking stars for him or the moon for him. Villa Master Nangong''s son was Nangong Yu.


    Rumor has it that Nangong Yu is a martial arts genius that only appears once in a hundred years. Her martial arts intelligence is amongst the best, but I wonder why the Nangong Family in front of me would disappear in a single night?" Afterwards, Nangong Yu had also disappeared without a trace. Was she still alive or dead?


    Nangong Yu was a Martial Senior that he had always admired and respected. From a young age until now, Qi Wanli had listened to his story and had grown up, hoping to have the same martial arts attainments as him.


    "I''m sorry! I''m a little tired today, so I''ll take my leave first! " After the butler finished speaking, he left without waiting for Qi Wan County''s reply. Seeing his strange expression and hurried steps, Qi Wanli could feel that something was going on in his heart, but he just didn''t want others to know about it.


    Returning to the inner hall room and lying on the bed, Qi Wan''s mind was filled with thoughts of the housekeeper, Nangong Yu? He did not understand why a young master of the Nangong family would become the steward of the Regent, Yu Lingjing.


    Of course, being a butler for the Regent King would not make Nangong Yu feel wronged. However, compared to the tyrannical Young Villa Master, the steward of the Regent''s Mansion was slightly inferior.


    He thought about how Qi Wanxian had fallen asleep and had had a terrifying dream. She dreamed of a boy about her age, covered in blood.


    Qi Wan County shook him as he yelled, "Wake up!" Wake up! " But the boy had a pulse and a breath, and he was in a coma. The more he refused to wake up, the more anxious Qi Dian became, until Qi Dian could not even see his face, and could only shout, "Wake up!" Wake up! "


    Inside the room, Yu Lingjing looked at his wife, who was sweating profusely. He reached out a hand to wipe away the cold sweat, only to discover that she was sweating profusely. It seemed that her wife had suffered from the cold, so she brought a basin of hot water and used a towel to cover her forehead. Qi Lan shook her forehead and shouted, "Wake up! Wake up! "


    "My wife!" "My wife!" Yu Ling Jing held his wife''s hand and called out. At this time, Qi Lun slowly opened her eyes, and when she saw Yu Ling Jing holding her hand, she asked, "What happened to me?"


    Yu Ling Jing looked at his wife''s pale face and cracked lips. Just a moment ago, he was still talking nonsense and shouting, "Wake up!" Wake up. "


    "I am not sick. This is not nonsense. This is a scene from my dream." She believed that Yu Ling Jing definitely knew about the steward Nangong Yu''s matters. She looked at him with eyes that were filled with hunger and thirst, "Husband, husband, master, your highness, your highness, I beg of you, please tell me one thing, I hope you will tell me the truth, okay?"


    Yu Lingjing had never seen his wife so flustered. It had been so long since they had married, and it was the first time his wife had begged him. He nodded without thinking too much about it.


    "Your Highness, I would like to know about the butler, Nangong Yu?" Qi Wanshi looked at Yu Ling Scenic Spot and said with an excited expression.


    Yu Lingjing looked at her in astonishment. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn''t think of what her wife wanted to ask her. She begged him to tell her about Nangong Yu? It was just that so much time had passed, why would his wife mention it now? Yu Lingjing stood up with an awkward expression. He walked to the side of the table and sighed. He didn''t know how to begin. After all, this was the steward, as well as his master''s secret.


    "Hubby!" Will you please tell me? " As he was about to get out of bed, he stumbled and fell to the ground.


    "My wife!" What are you doing? " When Yu Lingjing heard the sound of Qi Wan landing on the ground, he quickly turned around and walked to Qi Wan County''s side.


    "Hubby!" Just tell me? " Qi Wan County did not care about the matter of her falling to the ground, and continued to ask Nangong Yu about it.


    Yu Lingjing nodded helplessly.


    "The Nan Gong Family is the same as your Qi Family, they were originally a martial arts family. Twenty years ago, during an incident, the Nan Gong Family was framed and accused of being involved in a Royal Family strife, and the current Empress''s father, Shangguan Tong, bribed a whole country''s assassin and the family was massacred overnight. Nangong Yu ran away from the Nan Gong Family the day before the Nan Gong Family was exterminated due to a dispute with her father. But he never would have thought that running away from home this time would end up becoming his and his family''s eternal farewell, with Yin and Yang being separated! "


    When Yu Lingjing said this, his eyes became moist. He once thought that his mufei had passed away, and there was no one in this world worth crying over, until he met his master. He couldn''t bear to open his Master''s wounds again.


    "And then?" Qi Wanshi''s eyes were also filled with tears, but he couldn''t help but ask ¡­


    "After that, Nangong Yu used alcohol to dispel her worries and lived on the streets. One day, she was almost beaten to death by a few beggars. It was my uncle who saved him and helped him regain his confidence. After my mother passed away, my uncle entrusted me to Nangong Yu. He taught me martial arts and taught me how to read and write.


    "So that''s how it is?" Qi Dian finally understood and seemed to have thought of something. He looked at Yu Ling Jing with a puzzled expression and asked, "Could it be that he never thought of taking revenge?"


    "Revenge?" How could he take revenge? The Emperor''s father-in-law, the current Empress''s father? It''s not like he doesn''t want to take revenge, but sometimes people can''t live with hatred. " Yu Ling Jing said indifferently, these words seemed to be said for Qi Wan County to hear.


    "Oh? I''m tired, so I want to rest early. " While saying this, Qi Wanshi turned his head. She didn''t want to continue this topic with Yu Ling Jing, perhaps the difference between people was the difference between beliefs.


    Perhaps the most important thing for the housekeeper was to protect the talent he had to protect while alive, but to him, it was revenge. As for revenge, no one could stop it.


    Yu Lingjing didn''t say anything more. Seeing the strange look on Qi and Tong Prefecture''s face today, it must have been the steward who said something to her. His master had been hiding his worries in his heart for so many years. Why was it like this today?


    He had never allowed himself to call him Master because he did not want to recall everything about Nangong Yu. He wanted to forget everything about the Nangong Family, and wanted to avoid it, so he only wanted to be a housekeeper, a housekeeper with no name or background.


    Perhaps only by living as lowly as a servant could he feel better. Thinking of this, Yu Lingjing felt an incomparable heartache, but there was nothing he could do. His master could never let anyone into his heart, so he wouldn''t let anyone feel sad for him. He wished that he could continue living his numb life like this, so the only thing he could do was to fulfill his wish.


    It was unknown how much time had passed, or how many years had passed. He only wanted to forget the past and start over again, the dead and the living to have a hard time?


    If he hadn''t run away from home that year to argue with his father, or if he had also died in that annihilation, his conscience might have felt better.


    He hated himself for not being able to take revenge, but for him, it might be harder than death. He had been asked by others to protect Yu Ling Jing for the rest of his life.


    Since that was the case, could he only live on in this world? Even if he was despised by the world, being hated by his loved ones who had once died in vain wouldn''t be able to change his original intentions.


    Tonight''s starry sky was peaceful and peaceful. It was the same feeling Nangong Yu had at this moment.

 C63

    At the moment, he was sitting at a mahogany table, holding a wooden stick that was the size of a chopstick. He was teasing the extended neck of the snake that was hovering in the crystal box in front of him, while spitting out its thin red tongue. The head of the snake was oval in shape, with white rings on its back and black rings on its back. The white ring was rather narrow, its tail was long and slender, and its body was about five feet long.


    Under the man''s teasing, the snake sometimes stretched its neck out of the crystal box and fell into the crystal box like a pool of stagnant water. The man looked at his cute and vicious pet''s mischievous appearance, but didn''t have the slightest expression on his face; it could be seen that he was no longer interested in its tricks since he was used to playing with this kind of pet.


    A black shadow with only the features flashed past. This poisonous snake, which was hovering in the crystal box a moment ago, quickly jumped out. It only heard a "Eh?" With a sound, the poisonous snake quickly fell into the crystal box. The black shadow just now was holding onto his arm, his lips were black, and his eyes were filled with pain.


    The man dressed in the green dragon robe didn''t even look at the masked man, he immediately took out a bottle of medicine the length of a finger, threw it out, the masked man quickly caught it, and said coldly, "This is the antidote, sooner or later there will be two, one time, take it for three days before it is completely cured!"


    "Thank you, Crown Prince!" The masked man spoke in fear. His arms shook as he opened the bottle stopper and poured two pills into his hands. He closed his eyes and swallowed them quickly. He took a deep breath. It was as if he felt much more comfortable and relaxed now.


    Crown Prince Yu Hanfeng continued to tease his pet, and said coldly with a slanted mouth, "This is my new pet, the Many-Banded Krait. This snake is extremely poisonous! Anyone who is injured by it will not survive more than an hour without the antidote! "


    The masked man''s face was covered in sweat as he soaked his black bandana. He swallowed a mouthful of saliva as he thought, "So close, I almost fell here today."


    "How''s the investigation going?" The cold wind was slowly speaking.


    "Reporting to the Crown Prince, this subordinate went to Qi Shengmo''s hometown and pretended to be an Elementary Scholar who had received favor from the Qi family. Finally, this subordinate discovered a shocking piece of news." He did not let the Crown Prince down this time.


    Yu Hanfeng paused, his eyebrows raised and he glared. He was just teasing his pet when he threw away the stick. He quickly turned around and stood up, spitting out two words, "Quickly say it!"


    The masked man said calmly, "Qi Shengmo really does have a daughter!"


    It seemed like he had guessed right. That old bastard Qi Shengmo was really a cunning old fox ¡­


    "But not an adopted daughter? It''s an only daughter! "


    "What?" Not an adopted daughter? So you mean Qi Yingmo''s own daughter? " Yu Hanfeng''s eyes were wide open as he tightly grabbed the arm of the masked man. He asked with a suspicious expression, but he absolutely didn''t expect that this Qi Lang county was actually the biological daughter of Qi Shengmo. His cold eyes flashed and he cursed, "You old fox!"


    "However, we didn''t find this woman among the exterminated bodies of the Qi Clan, which is to say ¡­"


    "She might still be alive?" Imperial Wintry released his grip on the man in black and slowly turned around. He tried his best to suppress the uneasiness in his heart and gently closed his eyes.


    Thinking about the reason behind this matter, this woman had once saved Yu Lingjing on her way back to the capital. After the destruction of the Qi family, Yu Lingjing had married that woman into the palace, and the fish that had escaped the net had become the regent''s consort.


    Then Yu Ling Jing can protect her fair and square. What a brilliant plan. Yu Ling Jing, oh Yu Ling Jing, I want to see how long you can protect her for.


    Imperial Cold Wind opened his eyes with a whoosh. His bloodthirsty eyes emitted a cold light that made people shudder when they saw him. He quickly turned around and coldly said, "Do everything except for this bitch!"


    "Yes sir!"


    In the Regent''s Manor, Qi Wanliang was lying on a couch in a pavilion in the garden, her eyes closed and a peaceful expression on her face as she examined Liu Qi''s lessons.


    Liu Qi stood in front of Qi Shu County with her hands behind her back, and said in a clear voice, "In the beginning, people were born with a good nature; they were close to each other, and they became distant from each other.


    He had slept well last night, and he had an inexhaustible body strength. ''Teach that little girl some basic skills later. How can I walk in the martial arts world without having time to defend myself? '' He would go out for a walk two hours later. The sun was shining brightly and the wind was warm. He could not waste such a great gift from the heavens. He had to go out for a walk.


    "Martial Uncle?" Senior Master? " Liu Qi waved her small hand in front of Qi Lan, thinking in her heart, "Could this Martial Uncle Mo have fallen asleep?"


    "En, continue carrying it on your back!" Qi Wan County slowly opened his eyes, and said with a smile on his face.


    Liu Qi mischievously blinked his eyes, and said with a face full of mirth, "Martial Uncle! "I''ve finished reciting it!"


    "Finished memorizing it? "To recite the ''Lir of the Hundred Families''!" Qi Wanshi stood up and lightly said.


    "Good!" "Zhao Qiangsun Li Zhou Wu Zheng Wang, Feng Chen Chu Wei Jiang Shen Han Yang, Zhu Qin You Xu, He Lu Shi Zhang, Kong Cao Yan Hua Jin Wei Tao Jiang ¡­" Liu Qi answered as she carried it on her back.


    Qi Ling County attentively listened. This little girl was indeed a good seed for reading. After Liu Qi finished reciting, Qi Li repeatedly applauded, "That''s right! "That''s right!"


    Liu Qi mischievously made a face, and said with a face full of pride, "Uncle-master is too kind! It''s also because of uncle master''s guidance? " This little girl was truly quick-witted. At such a young age, she could flatter others with her silliness and observation. However, surviving in this manor was really difficult for her.


    Qi Dian seemed to have thought of something as he suddenly glanced at Liu Qi and said indifferently, "You seem to be able to barely pass this test, but I wonder what this martial art of yours is?"


    Hearing that she still needed to practice martial arts, a trace of displeasure appeared on Liu Qi''s face. She pulled on Qi Lan''s sleeve and asked with a troubled expression, "Which one? You still need to practice martial arts? Martial Uncle! "Can you ¡­"


    Qi Wan County pretended to be angry and threw Liu Qi''s small hand away, and said sternly, "No! There was no room for negotiation! "If you don''t learn kung fu now, don''t you know how you will die in the future when you are traveling in the martial arts world?" He could get used to this little girl in other areas, but he definitely could not relax when it came to martial arts. He definitely could not let her get away with it, or else he would harm her.


    "Ah?" Was it that serious? "Martial Aunt Wangfei?" Liu Qi said with an expression of disbelief, as if what his Martial Uncle said was too exaggerated and too serious.


    "The martial arts world is filled with blood and gore. Do you think that the title of Zhuge of your master''s daughter was earned by mere words? She had relied on what she had learned in her entire life, along with her wisdom and strategy, to practice her martial arts step by step! Do you know how many people in the imperial court are nobles and how many royal relatives are trying to rope you in as a master? Do you know how many people with ulterior motives want your master''s life? " Qi Mu said with a serious expression, Liu Qi shook her head.


    "How many people in the imperial court want to win your master over? How many people in the martial arts world want your master''s life? " Qi Wan County said coldly.


    "Why? Why do those martial artists want to kill my master? Does my master have enmity with them? " Liu Qi asked in confusion. She really didn''t understand how those martial artists could be so cruel.


    "Do you think that they would only kill people if they had a grudge against them? "With Zhuge dead, whoever kills her will become famous, or perhaps he will be the next female Zhuge or Zhuge!" Qi Wan County thought that at this moment, only by letting Liu Qi understand the ruthlessness of the martial arts world and the cruelty of the people in it, would Liu Qi be able to calm down and practice martial arts properly.


    "So, are they doing it for fame and fortune? "Martial Uncle!" Liu Qi seemed to understand a bit. Killing since ancient times was nothing more than killing for revenge, or for fame, or to get bribed and killed. Compared to the third situation, the first two situations happened more often, making people unable to control themselves.


    Qi Wanshi nodded. Liu Qi seemed to understand that the reason why Martial Aunt Wang wanted her to practice martial arts was so that she would be able to move around the Jianghu more skillfully in the future. Thinking up to here, the corner of Liu Qi''s mouth raised into a faint smile. "Martial Uncle! I must study hard! I will definitely not disappoint the hopes that you and Master have placed on me! "


    Qi Wan County looked at the little girl with a smile. "Then let''s start. Prepare to ride on horses ¡­"


    Yu Ling Jing came out of his study and passed by the garden. When he saw this scene, he stopped in his tracks and didn''t step forward. When he looked at his wife teaching Liu Qi how to cultivate, it was as if he saw the scene where his master had taught him how to cultivate when he was young. His master had often said, "The legs must be steady, the fists must be fierce, and the punches must have strength ¡­"


    "Master! Do you think that''s the right thing for me to do? "


    "Yu Ling Jing, how many times have I told you? Don''t call me master, call me housekeeper."


    "Housekeeper?"


    "..."


    Yu Ling Jing''s thoughts were brought back to reality by his wife Qi Wan''s loud voice, and he once again looked at the two practicing their martial arts under the pavilion.


    "Liu Qi, what you''re doing isn''t right? "Look at me!" As Qi Wanli spoke, he gave Liu Qi a demonstration. Seeing his wife and Liu Qi being so close like a teacher and a friend, as well as a sister, Yu Lingjing was very envious. His master, on the other hand, was always protecting him like a servant. This feeling made Yu Lingjing''s heart feel a tinge of sadness.


    Since his wife liked Liu Qi, he would let them be together. As long as his wife was happy, she would teach Liu Qi how to read and write, she would teach martial arts, and as long as she was happy, everything else mattered.


    At noon, Qi Wan County had taught Liu Qi the way of cultivation. After the two finished their lunch, they happily left the mansion.


    "..."

 C64

    Outside the door, Liu Qi was jumping around like a little bird that just flew out of the birdcage. Although it wasn''t the first time she came out, every time she came out she would have the same feeling as the first time.


    Qi Wanxian looked at the childish Liu Qi with a happy smile on her face. With Liu Qi and Liu Qi together, Qi Wanxian could truly feel that she still had family in this world. Although she had an adopted father, the Left Premier, and the Left Premier''s wife, she had to act like a good daughter in front of them. She didn''t want them to worry about her, worry about her, and be with them. Although Yu Lingjing was her husband, he was a man. There was a need to hide some of a woman''s thoughts from him.


    Qi Wan County and Liu Qi immersed themselves in their own happiness, unaware that behind them was a pair of eyes full of murderous intent staring at them.


    "Follow them and make your move in the right place!" A masked man in black said to the dozen men in plainclothes beside him.


    "Yes!" "Boss!"


    Qi Wan and Liu Qi walked together until they arrived at the teahouse where Liu Qi had taken Liu Qi as his master last time. Seeing Liu Qi staring straight at the teahouse, Qi Wanli seemed to understand something. This girl must have missed her master with her conscience. Qi Dian acted like he didn''t know, and said indifferently, "Isn''t it just a broken teahouse? What''s there to look at? "


    "Is this the place I took in you as my master?" Have you forgotten about it, Junior Master? " Liu Qi''s face was filled with astonishment as she looked at Qi Wanqian County. It had only been a few days, how could Martial Uncle forget about it?


    "You didn''t think of that?" You should remember? " Qi Wanshi pretended to be suddenly enlightened.


    Liu Qi nodded. Although she hadn''t seen much of her master, the image of her master''s smile and voice was still engraved in her mind. Because on her, Liu Qi saw a hope, a hope that a woman could be more powerful than a man and be based on martial arts. How could she forget?


    "Since we''ve decided, let''s go in and take a look. It''s also good to see a speculator!" Qi Dian spoke indifferently and took the lead to walk in.


    "Wait for me, Martial Uncle!" Hearing Martial Uncle say it, Liu Qi''s heart was sweeter than eating sugar.


    The two of them went to the second floor together. It was the same room as last time, and they were sitting in the same place. However, this time they were missing Qing Mo Xue, causing the two of them to feel a little desolated. At this time, they heard a "dong dong" sound as they went upstairs. The two of them looked up and saw a waiter wearing gray clothes and a gray hat.


    The waiter held a white towel in his hand. When he saw the two beauties upstairs, he couldn''t help but take a glance at them. He bent his body and chuckled, "I wonder what the two ladies would like to drink?"


    "A pot of the best Longjing in your store!" Qi Wan County looked at the amiable waiter with a smile on his face, and said indifferently.


    "Miss! Please wait a moment! " The waiter acted like a soldier who had heard the order, he put the towel he was holding onto his shoulder and chuckled, then quickly went downstairs.


    Seeing his cute appearance, Qi Shu and Liu Qi looked at each other and chuckled.


    There was another "thump thump" sound. However, this sound was like the footsteps of many people and not the footsteps of a single person. Qi Dian couldn''t feel that the situation wasn''t good. This shouldn''t be the waiter. As expected, the people who came were a few big burly men. They were clearly somewhat vigilant when they saw the eyes of Qi Dian, who was staring straight at them. The leading man''s expression suddenly changed as he bent his body and laughed. "Apologies? "I went into the wrong room," he said as he turned around. He had only taken one step before he turned around and pounced on Qi Wanxian.


    From the moment they climbed the stairs, Qi Lun knew that they had not come from Qi Lun, and his tricks were not worth mentioning in Qi Lun''s eyes. The moment he charged towards Qi Lun, Qi Lun quickly pulled Liu Qi to her side and kicked the nearby table at the same time. The table just happened to fall right on the stomach of the man with the flying dagger, scaring Liu Qi who stood behind them, her eyes were wide open, her mouth was wide open, no wonder Liu Qi was like this, she grew up so big? When had he ever seen a real fight or murder?


    "The remaining men saw the man in front falling to the ground, and they all rushed up, only to see Qi Lun County supporting the chair with one arm, leaping up and throwing themselves out with a few kicks, one after the other, these people fell onto the ground, while Qi Lun County stood with her hands cupped together." You don''t think much of me? Why did you send some trash over? "


    When she turned around, she saw that a few masked men in black had flown in from the window, her feet quickly spun around and flew in front of a man in black, her left hand quickly unleashed a palm, her right hand executed a throat locking technique, causing the man in black to quickly fall to the ground. The corner of his mouth tilted, and he instantly arrived in front of the other black-clothed man. A lightning-fast palm strike knocked him down to the ground, then followed by the third, and the fourth black-clothed man ¡­


    Liu Qi hid in a corner and watched her uncle master Wang''s lightning fast speed of hitting people. She couldn''t help but admire him and understand why he wanted her to learn so much. If she could cultivate a technique as powerful as Martial Uncle Wangfei''s, then she wouldn''t need to hide in this corner and need her to protect him. Thinking of this, Liu Qi''s heart ached.


    "Go back and tell your master that he wants your aunt''s life. Send some people next time and don''t send any more useless animals?" Qi Wanshi clapped his hands as he looked disdainfully at the only survivor on the ground.


    "Let''s go? "Liu Qi!" As he spoke, he pulled Liu Qi down the stairs and walked to the door. He threw down a certain amount of silver to the owner who was holding the abacus and coldly said, "No need to look for it. Treat it as the table and chair I''ll pay you!"


    "Wah?" Such a huge sum of silver? "Thank you, young lady!" When the boss recovered his wits, Qi Wan County and Liu Qi had already disappeared.


    The black-clothed person that was hiding in the shadows saw Qi Wanshi and Liu Qi walk out from the teahouse, and he knew that his plan had failed. Even so, he still had a calm expression, as he had a second plan. Thinking of this, the black clothed man''s eyes flashed with a strange light.


    Outside of the teahouse, Qi Wanli felt that something was wrong. She was thinking about the identities of these people. Why were they here for her? If it was the crown prince''s men, their target would be the Regent, Yu Lingjing. Why would they do anything to her? And these people were not like ordinary thugs, but were more like well-trained killers? The more he thought about it, the more confused he became.


    Walking to a corner alley, he saw a few tall and sturdy men chasing after a woman with disheveled hair and disheveled clothes. The woman ran to Qi Shu and grabbed her arm, her face filled with panic, looking at Qi Lan with pleading eyes, "Miss! "Save me!"


    Qi Wan County didn''t say anything. At this time, those few men had already caught up to them, and loudly shouted, "Get out of the way!" "Don''t meddle in my business!"


    Qi Dian sneered, and pushed the woman behind him, "This kind of thing? This grandaunt is determined to care! " As Qi Wanjun spoke, he kicked out, knocking the man who had just spoken to the ground.


    "I think you don''t want to live anymore?" The few people behind them cursed and rushed up, but they were all knocked down to the ground by Qi Lan.


    "Lady! It''s alright now, you can go back now? " Qi Wan County looked at the pitiful girl in front of him and said with a gentle expression.


    "Thank you, heroine, for saving my life!" As she spoke, the girl kneeled down.


    Qi Wanshi quickly supported the kneeling girl and helped her comb her messy hair. This girl had delicate features; with a glance, one could tell that she was a beauty. Qi Wan County lightly said, "It was just a small matter! Why are you being so courteous? "


    Liu Qi who stood to the side had a face full of smiles as she said, "My wangfei has a heart of a Bodhisattva, she likes to be a chivalrous hero!"


    "Princess? So you''re a wangfei? " The girl opened her eyes wide and looked at Qi Wanjun in surprise. She couldn''t believe that a wangfei had such good skills.


    "That?" My surname is Princess, and not really Princess Hua-Yang? " Qi Ling glanced at Liu Qi, her meaning was obviously to make you talk too much. Liu Qi''s face was filled with embarrassment as she didn''t say anything else.


    "So that''s how it is!" The woman faintly smiled as she suddenly realized what had happened. Just now, she had thought that the one who had saved her was really the wangfei.


    In the past when Qi Wan County was wandering in the Jianghu, they had done this sort of thing quite a lot, but they rarely said their names. It wasn''t because they were afraid of their enemies seeking revenge, but because Qi Wan County felt that doing something this simple was not worth mentioning.


    "It''s getting late!" We should go back! Miss, please go back. " As Qi Ling spoke, she pulled Liu Qi along as she prepared to return to the mansion. Unexpectedly, the young lady''s eyes were filled with tears as she stood there motionlessly.


    "What''s wrong? Girl? Don''t cry! What''s the matter? " Qi Wanjun looked at the teary eyes of the young woman as he consoled her with a pained expression.


    "Miss Wangfei, do you know that I was sold to the brothel by my husband, who only ate and drank and gambled at brothels? Now ¡­" At this point, the woman''s tears began to flow down her face.


    "So that''s how it is?" Qi Wan County never thought that this girl''s life would be so pitiful. If she was asked to return, who knows if she would be able to escape the fate of being sold. Not as good as...


    "If you don''t mind, then come with us to stay at my house for a few days. What are your plans in the future?" Qi Wanxian said with a face full of laughter. As the saying went, good things should be done to the end. Send Buddha to the west! Since this girl couldn''t return home, then what was the harm in letting her return to the manor for a few days?


    "Then how can I accept it?" As the woman spoke, her heart was filled with joy. She had finally achieved her goal and was laughing coldly in her heart. She didn''t expect that this woman''s martial arts would be so easily deceived.


    "No worries!" "Anyway, there are a lot of houses in my house. Let''s go!"


    While saying that, Qi Wanli pulled the woman and Liu Qi towards the direction of the King''s Mansion!

 C65

    The black clothed man who was hiding in the corner suddenly relaxed a lot as he watched them leave. With a leap, he quickly turned around and left.


    Two hours later, the three of them arrived at the entrance of a noble yet elegant mansion. The woman stopped in her tracks and took a glance at the four words on the black wooden plaque, "Regent''s Manor". Although all of this was planned, the necessary acting was still indispensable. Thinking about that, the woman pretended to be surprised, pointed at the four words on the black wooden plaque, and asked curiously, "This? This is the Residence of Regent? "


    Qi Wanli didn''t say anything and only faintly smiled. However, Liu Qi snatched it away first.


    "I know the wangfei of this palace. I heard she''s a great benefactor." As Liu Qi spoke, she shot a glance at Qi Wan County. This was clearly revenge for being glared at by Martial Uncle Wang?


    [This little girl is so vindictive?] He actually dared to challenge me for such a trivial matter? Is he getting bolder and bolder? Fine! Just you wait for me and see how I''ll deal with you in the future. Thinking of this, a faint smile rose from the corner of Qi Wanli''s mouth.


    "Oh? "Go on in!" As Qi Ling said this, she pulled the girl up and walked in. Liu Qi was still lost in the complacency of glancing at her Martial Uncle, and when she regained her senses, she shouted, "Wait for me!" He chased after them in a hurry.


    At the same time, in the backyard of the capital''s crown prince''s residence, a man dressed in an azure dragon embroidered robe was calmly dancing with his sword in deep love. The sword in his hand was like a white snake spitting out its tongue, hissing through the wind, and like a dragon swimming through the air. It moved about four times, sometimes lightly like a swallow, and sometimes like lightning as it rose.


    At this time, a black shadow appeared behind him. The man put away the sword in his hand, slowly closed his eyes, and let out a long breath. He said coldly, "How is it?"


    The black shadow cupped his fists and nodded, "The first plan was a failure, Merlin was taken into the Regent''s Mansion by that woman."


    "A bunch of trash! You deserve to die! " Yu Hanfeng indifferently said as he slowly opened his eyes. His long and narrow eyes shined with a sinister light. However, this was to be expected. That woman was not easy to deal with. Fortunately, he had a second plan.


    After a moment of silence, the Crown Prince spoke slowly, "The hope now is all on Merlin." His eyes swept across the crowd and he said fiercely, "Work together with Merlin. We must kill that woman!"


    "Yes!" Subordinate obeys! "


    In the Regent''s Manor, Qi Shu brought that woman to the great hall and met a housekeeper who saw that the wangfei had brought an outsider into the mansion, so they didn''t say anything. He carefully and vigilantly glanced at this woman with messy hair and untidy clothes. For some reason, the butler had a bad premonition the moment he saw this woman. However, he couldn''t pinpoint where the problem was.


    When the woman saw the unordinary manner of the middle-aged man in front of her, she wondered if she had been shocked by him. It was still because she was guilty of being a thief that an inexplicable fear assaulted her. She wisely and quickly avoided the steward''s gaze and hid behind the Qi Hui County.


    The steward immediately withdrew his gaze from the girl and changed it to a benevolent smile. He cupped his hands and bowed, "Princess!" May I know who this lady is? "


    Qi Wanjun was stunned. She was only concerned with saving others, and yet she didn''t even ask for their name. She slowly turned around and said with an embarrassed expression, "That?"


    The woman looked at Qi Shu County with a troubled expression and timidly said, "My surname is Mei, my name is Mei Lin."


    "Oh? Right! Was she Lady Mei? Do you see my memory? " Qi Wanli pretended to have a face of sudden enlightenment as he spoke with a smile, but unfortunately, he was still unable to escape the steward''s eyes.


    The steward gave a suspicious "En," but Qi Dian felt embarrassed.


    "Oh? Butler, please prepare some lunch! Miss Mei and I are both hungry! " Qi Wan County immediately found a topic to talk about.


    "Princess, please wait for a moment. This old man will prepare them right away!" The housekeeper glanced at the submissive young woman hiding behind the princess'' back, then he turned around and left. In his heart, he thought that it was best to be careful around people like her who didn''t know their identities.


    Merlin saw that the butler had already walked far away, and pretended to be surprised as he pulled on Qi Shu''s arm. "Big sister!" Sister! Are you really the princess here? "


    "I''ve just said it before, I know the wangfei here, she''s a great benefactor!" Liu Qi said smugly to Merlin. This girl is really the same as my senior sister, she doesn''t know modesty at all, and she also remembers grudges. Qi Wan County secretly sighed. As the saying goes, what kind of master do you have, what kind of disciple do you have? This was truly the same.


    Qi Wan County was still smiling like it was bathed in spring breeze, but the expression on his face was self-evident.


    After lunch, Qi Wanshi arranged for Merlin to stay in the room next to Liu Qi''s, and sent Liu Qi to get Merlin a set of clean clothes for him to change into. He slowly walked back to the inner hall room and prepared to take a nap on the bed. Maybe it was because he was too tired? Qi Wan County actually didn''t even know that there was someone following her from behind. Or perhaps it was because the martial arts attainments of the person following behind her was very profound, causing her to be unable to detect it.


    Qi Wan County lay on his bed and thought about how his opponents were all extraordinary after today''s great battle. If it wasn''t for the fact that his martial arts was decent, he probably would have become a corpse a long time ago. However, the person who attacked her today really couldn''t understand why. She had been travelling in the martial arts world for so long and had never offended anyone. Why would those people want her dead?


    If the enemy was the crown prince, then that didn''t make sense! I really can''t understand, if only Senior Sister was here. Qi Wanxian thought about this and fell asleep ¡­


    At the same time, while Liu Qi was on her way to get the clothes, she was robbed by the butler. The butler looked around, then pulled Liu Qi to a small room with no one in it, "Girl, do you trust this old man?" Seeing the steward''s serious look, Liu Qi nodded.


    "Then tell this old man everything that happened today!" With his many years of intuition, he felt that there was something wrong with that woman, but she was brought in by the imperial concubine, so it was inconvenient for him to say that he was a servant. Even if he had a subtle relationship with the prince, he should not alert her before finding out the truth.


    After a few days of interaction, the steward had learned that although the princess had great martial arts skills and was experienced in the martial arts world, she was, after all, a kind-hearted child. As a kind-hearted child, her heart was weak and innocent, and it was very possible that someone with ulterior motives would be able to take advantage of her.


    Liu Qi knew that the steward had good intentions. For the sake of the wangfei, he told the steward everything without missing a single word.


    A slender figure quickly flashed into the inner hall. Gently closing the door, a cold ray of light shot out from her black and white eyes. She quickly pulled out a poisoned hairpin from her messy hair and held it tightly in her hand.


    Looking at Qi Wanxian''s small face, which was as beautiful as ever without any makeup, Merlin''s heart trembled a little. Slowly, he put down his hand that was holding the hairpin up high.


    Not only was this woman kind, she was also a rare beauty. If it wasn''t because of her master''s orders, her own family would be held hostage by her master, and she wouldn''t be harmed by him. Thinking of his master''s methods, not only did Merlin shiver. He could disregard his own life, but he definitely couldn''t ignore the lives of his family. Thinking of this, Merlin once again raised the hairpin and aimed it at Qi Shu''s chest ¡­


    Hearing a creaking sound, Merlin quickly put the hairpin behind him, turned around to look at the door, and saw Liu Qi walk in. Liu Qi saw Merlin and said happily, "Elder sister, I''ve put the clean clothes in your room!" Then, he asked with a puzzled expression, "Why is elder sister here?"


    Merlin pretended to be calm and forced a smile on his stiff face, "I just lost my way in the washroom because of Sister''s anxiety!"


    "It''s all Liu Qi''s fault, I didn''t explain it clearly to big sister, Liu Qi will bring big sister over right now!" As Liu Qi said this, she pulled Merlin along and walked out of the room. The moment she stepped out, Merlin turned around and looked at the sleeping Chiru, smiling like a child.


    The butler quietly returned to his room and closed the door. This was an ordinary looking room that hid a secret. The butler moved the incense burner in the room that was used to serve the esteemed Guanyin. What used to be a large painting of Guanyin had now become a secret compartment that could accommodate one person. The butler took a fire piston and walked in softly. Then, the secret compartment naturally closed.


    There were two exits, one to the north and one to the south, one to the north. One to the north, one to the south. One to the north, one to the south. Originally, there had been no special secrets about this capable Regent''s Mansion. However, the steward had quietly changed the place in the middle of the night after he had taken up residence with the Prince. "The best thing to prevent is that a tragedy similar to that of the Nangong Family should not happen to you, your highness.


    Currently, only the steward and the prince knew of this secret passage.


    Every time he entered this secret passageway, the butler, Nangong Yu, would be thinking about a problem. That was, if the Nangong Family from twenty years ago were like this, then would the fate of the Nangong Family being exterminated be changed?


    Walking to the door of the prince''s study, the steward took a break from the fire.


    This hour was the appointed hour between the steward and the prince. No matter if it was Hong Kou, who often accompanied the prince, or his new concubine Qi''er, they would not be disturbed at this hour. The butler knocked three times on the wall, and a secret compartment similar to the one in the butler''s room opened up.

 C66

    Yu Lingjing looked at the middle-aged man standing in front of him. The man who taught him martial arts strategy and literacy was not his father, but rather, his father. He wanted to call him Master.


    However, when he thought of his master''s situation, and the tragedy that had occurred in the Nangong Family, he swallowed his words back. Restraining the impulse and apprehension in his heart, he said with a calm expression, "Butler!"


    The steward glanced at Yu Lingjing, a faint smile appearing on his benevolent face. "I wonder if Your Highness'' skills have improved?" Before he finished his sentence, he created a modified Eight Trigrams Palm at the speed of lightning. It was like flowing clouds and flowing water that could not be predicted, causing Yu Ling Jing to be unable to react in time.


    "No matter how unpredictable the opponent is, your heart cannot be thrown into disarray. Only then will you be able to adapt to the changes!" These words were naturally meant for Yu Ling Jing, he believed that with his potential, he would be able to resolve these problems.


    The butler''s words made Yu Ling Jing realize what was going on. Once Yu Ling Jing looked at the butler''s path carefully, he could calmly and easily defeat him.


    Seeing that Yu Ling Jing had found the solution, the butler continued, "Have you remembered that move?" Since he was young, Yu Ling Jing loved to dance with sabers and guns, and he had a strong feeling towards various martial arts. As long as he read through the moves once, they would be firmly engraved in his heart.


    "I''ll remember it!"


    "Good, this is an inner force skill. If you match it with the skill I just taught you, you will be like the clouds and flowing water, and the tiger wings will fly high!" As he spoke, the steward took out something that looked like a book from his undergarments, and tossed it to Yu Lingjing. He turned around and left, and just as the door closed behind him, he heard the words, "A guest has arrived at home."


    "A guest has arrived?" What did his Master''s words mean? Yu Lingjing asked him indifferently. This was definitely not an ordinary guest. If it was an ordinary guest, his master would never mention it in front of him. Was he hinting at something? Yu Ling Jing''s black eyes gazed at the direction his Master left in, as he pondered.


    It was already evening when Qi Wan County woke up. Suddenly, they thought of Merlin who had just entered the mansion. They quickly got off the bed and walked to Merlin''s room.


    He knocked on the door three times, but there was no sound from inside. Qi Dian pushed the door open and walked in, only to find that Merlin wasn''t there. When he arrived at Liu Qi''s room, he found that she wasn''t there either? Where the hell did these two girls go?


    While Qi Wan County was puzzling over this matter, they heard a burst of clear and melodious laughter. Qi Wan County followed the sound and looked over, and saw two beautiful girls, one wearing a light purple skirt and the other wearing a light green skirt.


    "Esteemed wangfei, you''re awake?" The one who spoke was Liu Qi, who was wearing a light green dress. Ever since she had gone from a maid to a young miss, she had been treated like a servant girl. Liu Qi was a thoughtful and thoughtful child, so Qi Tong had taken her to be her little sister. Her clothes were a bit better than that of an ordinary maid, so it was natural for her to wear it.


    In the end, her gaze landed on Merlin, who was wearing a light purple skirt. With the appropriate makeup and the perfect clothes, as well as his pretty face and his natural beauty, even a woman couldn''t help but glance at him a few times, let alone a man.


    "Sister! You make me feel embarrassed watching this! " Merlin lowered his head as he spoke.


    Seeing Merlin''s shy and cute appearance, Qi Wanxian''s brows jumped, "This woman is too embarrassed to even look at a woman, then wouldn''t it be better for this man to find a hole to hide in?" Liu Qi laughed out loud as she said this, but it was hard for Merlin, so her originally bright red face became even redder.


    The butler who was standing far away slowly approached. "It''s time for the wangfei''s dinner!"


    "Where is the prince?" Since he came back, he had not seen Yu Ling Jing, so he asked the steward with a face full of suspicion.


    "The prince has been in the study room and has already sent someone to invite him!" The butler had a benevolent expression as he said that, making you unable to feel that he had some sort of connection with Nangong Yu. Originally, the steward was responsible for arranging all the matters concerning the prince, including treating the prince to a meal. However, the woman who came today made the steward uneasy, so the steward naturally wouldn''t miss out on any details related to her.


    However, this woman was too cunning. Every time the housekeeper looked at her, she would use this opportunity to avoid his gaze, or to pull Qi La County along with her and laugh.


    "Oh, let''s go!" While speaking, Qi Wan County pulled the two of them towards the main hall.


    As soon as he stepped into the hall, a handsome man wearing a cyan robe stood there. His face was as cold as ice and emitted a heroic aura, giving off a feeling that one could not look directly at him.


    Yu Ling Jing glanced at the pretty girl in the light purple dress, this was the guest the steward was talking about. Yu Ling Jing glanced at the pretty woman in the light purple dress, this was the customer the steward was talking about.


    "My lord, this lady is called Merlin. As for how we met, I will tell you in the future!" This was because in her heart, she felt that she was better than Merlin, even a bit more than Liu Qi.


    "Miss Mei is my wife''s friend and also this king''s friend. Please do not be polite!" He didn''t know why, but when these words came out of his mouth, it didn''t seem to come out of his mouth, but it gave off a very intimate and warm feeling.


    "Thank you, Your Highness!" Merlin bent his body and spoke calmly. It was said that the Regent''s Regent''s ability was not only superior to Pan An''s, but was also a combination of both martial arts and martial arts. Could martial arts and wits be said to be unrivalled? In front of this man, I must be careful not to reveal myself.


    "Let''s start the meal!"


    The steward, who had been standing by during dinner, had his eyes fixed on the woman, Merlin, and thought that sooner or later the fox would show his tail.


    The steward didn''t tell the prince about the assassination attempt. He was worried that the prince might lose his sense of propriety because of the wangfei, but he had secretly sent out wind, rain, and lightning to investigate the matter as an explanation for the wangfei.


    Inside the inner hall, under the dim light of the oil lamp. Qi Wanli snuggled up to Yu Ling Jing and asked with a puzzled expression, "My lord, why don''t you ask me why I brought Merlin back to the Mansion?"


    "My wife has her own reasons!" "As long as my wife is happy!" He used to feel sad for not being able to coax this woman. Now that she was his woman, all he could do was do his best to satisfy her and spoil her.


    "Aren''t you curious, your highness?" Qi Wan County really didn''t understand what this man''s thoughts were like, and why he didn''t ask. If it was her, she would definitely ask. It was precisely because his thoughts were different from others that Qi Wanxian became infatuated with him, and became more and more attached to him.


    Yu Lingjing faintly smiled and lightly kissed Qi Ning''s forehead. "If my wife wanted to say it, I would have said it even if I hadn''t asked. If my wife didn''t want to say it, I might not have been able to hear the truth even if I had asked!"


    Yu Ling Jing''s words made Qi Lun County dumbstruck? What kind of man was he? How could he analyze people''s thoughts so thoroughly? His words were so considerate, so pleasing to hear.


    Qi Tong smiled and gave him a kiss. Yu Ling Jing''s cold bone fanaticism was once again awakened by this demon-like little girl in front of him. At this moment, he only wanted to have her! He gently picked her up and placed her on the bed ¡­


    The night was very quiet and the night was very beautiful. At this time, the people of the manor had already fallen asleep. However, in the servant''s room in the backyard of the prince''s mansion, a black figure flashed by.


    "Why are you here? Don''t you know where this is? " A clear and melodious voice of a woman sounded out from the darkness. Just this one sentence had a certain charm to it, causing one to be unable to stop.


    "Hehe!" "Of course I missed you ¡­" An evil, lustful man''s voice rang out. As he spoke, he reached out his hand to touch the woman''s face, but the woman dodged him.


    The man''s arm missed its mark and he seemed to be angry. He sneered, "Merlin! You are just a dog owned by the crown prince? Why can''t I fight for the crown prince''s position? "


    "Swish!" Merlin cursed.


    "*?" Humph! I don''t know who. I think you want to be a whore and you want to build a memorial archway? Do you think that in the eyes of the crown prince, you are any different from a brothel? " The man lewdly smiled as he walked behind the woman. He held her from behind and lightly sucked on her lips, "Mhmm ¡­" Was it really that fragrant? Why don''t we enjoy it in time? " As she spoke, she quickly carried the woman onto the bed and pressed her body down. Suddenly, she felt something ice-cold. Reaching out her hand, she touched something that felt like a knife?


    The woman sneered, "You want to take advantage of me? In your next life! "Alright, can you let me cripple you now?"


    No, no, no!" The man stood up and took a few steps back, but Merlin followed him. The man said, "I''m sorry, my lady! "I am not a human, I am an animal. Can you please let me go like a fart?" "This vulgar man had turned into such a man just like that. Compared to his domineering appearance a moment ago, he was like a completely different person.


    "Kowtow three times for me and I''ll let you go!" Merlin laughed out loud. If he wanted to bully his grandaunt then he would have to act according to his own character. He would have to consider whether or not he had the ability to do so.


    "Good!" Clang! Clang! "Clank, clank!" As the man spoke, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times.


    "So late? What exactly is going on? " Merlin seriously asked after seeing the man kowtow three times.


    "Master wants you to make a move as soon as possible!" The man said politely.


    "Go back and tell the master, I will act according to the circumstances! "Scram!"


    If it wasn''t for his family, what crown prince? Your majesty? This old lady doesn''t even put him in her eyes, but once a person has a worry, they will have a weakness. If a weakness is found, then it is easy for others to catch hold of it and manipulate it!

 C67

    "Someone come!" Take this slut''s family and chop them off for me! " A man wearing a yellow dragon robe angrily said as he pointed at Merlin who was kneeling in front of him.


    The woman quickly kneeled in front of the man and pulled his clothes as she cried, "Your Highness the Crown Prince! I beg you? Please let my family go. "


    The man''s sinister face was devoid of any color. His zombie-like face seemed to be from hell as he sneered, "Mission failed!" You still have the face to ask for it? " The Crown Prince raised his foot and shook off the kneeling Merlin.


    Merlin once again knelt in front of the Crown Prince and pulled his clothes, "Your Highness! "For the sake of Merlin''s many years of service to you, please let my family go?" The woman looked at the man before her in despair and grief.


    "If it weren''t for the fact that you''ve served me for so many years, you would have been able to kneel and plead for mercy!" The man slowly crouched down and gently caressed the petite and beautiful woman''s silky, soft, and smooth little face, reaching all the way to her chest.


    "Do I beg the Crown Prince to let Merlin die in place of his family?"


    "You die?" How could I bear to do that? " The Crown Prince smiled obscenely as he picked up Merlin and walked towards his bedroom.


    Despite Merlin screaming and struggling with all his might, it was to no avail. The man who was on top of her would not feel any pain at all. On the contrary, the more she struggled, the more excited the man on top of her got ¡­


    "Please! No! No! "No ¡­"


    "..."


    The morning sun shone into the room, adding a tinge of color to the already deserted room. Merlin slowly opened his hazy eyes. He felt as if he had slept for a long time like a dead man, as if he had just crawled out of a grave. How desolate, how terrifying! Merlin stretched out his fair and delicate arms and touched his forehead, sweating profusely.


    Merlin sat up slowly, thinking about the dream. He shivered and curled up on the edge of the bed. If he couldn''t complete the mission? That dream was not a dream, but reality. Perhaps reality was even more frightening than that dream. However, the palace was heavily guarded, and the wangfei''s kung fu was high. It was simply impossible for her to complete the mission.


    Merlin suddenly felt a tightness in his chest. He felt nauseous and nauseous, but he couldn''t spit it out. So many times, tears filled Merlin''s eyes, but the symptoms were still bad? What''s wrong with me? I haven''t completed the mission yet, so I can''t let anything happen to you at this critical juncture. Otherwise ¡­


    "Sister Mei! Are you awake? " Liu Qi, who was standing outside, knocked on the door, interrupting Merlin''s train of thoughts.


    "Oh? Is it Sister Liu? " Merlin asked gently,


    "It''s me!" Sister Mei! The wangfei invites you over for breakfast! " Liu Qi, who was standing at the door, had a happy expression as she said this.


    "Sister Liu? "Wait a moment, I''ll open the door for you right now!" Merlin wiped away the tears that had just appeared in the corner of his eyes, put on a coat, and went to open the door to Liu Qi.


    "Sister! Let me help you fill up the face wash! Let me help you wipe your face! " As Liu Qi spoke, she entered the room and put the basin on the table. She picked up a towel to moisten the water and was going to wipe Merlin''s face.


    "No, no, no! Elder sister should do it herself! " This time, she came to the regent''s mansion. Not only did the imperial concubine treat her like a sister, but even the maid Liu Qi didn''t treat her as an outsider. This series of warm feelings made it hard for Merlin to digest all of it.


    "What is it? Elder sister, do you think Liu Qi is clumsy? " Seeing that Sister Mei still treated her as an outsider, Liu Qi said with a face full of anger.


    "No, no, no! Elder sister doesn''t mean that! " Merlin looked at Liu Qi pouting, pulling at her little face, and immediately explained in excitement. He then smiled and said, "Alright then!"


    It seemed like elder sister didn''t see her as an outsider anymore. Liu Qi''s face was full of smiles as she picked up a towel and gently wiped Merlin''s delicate and exquisite face. This little girl''s changing speed was even faster than flipping through books.


    "Come! Sister, let me help you dress up! " After washing her face, Liu Qi pulled Merlin to sit beside the bronze mirror. It had to be said that Liu Qi really liked helping people dress up. To Liu Qi, turning a slovenly person into a beautiful and beautiful person with her hands seemed to be a very successful thing.


    "How is it? Sister! Are you satisfied? " Liu Qi looked at elder sister Merlin in the bronze mirror, and asked with a face full of arrogance. Her words were filled with confidence, so how could anyone be dissatisfied?


    "Hm!" "Thank you!" Merlin had just said these words when that disgusting and sour feeling of nausea hit him once more. Merlin covered his mouth, afraid that he would accidentally vomit onto the spotless ground.


    "Sister! What''s the matter with you? " Behind her, Liu Qi had a panicked expression as she said, "Big Sister Mei was perfectly fine just now, why did she suddenly become so uncomfortable?" Liu Qi thought as she patted Mei Lin''s back, hoping this would make Mei a bit more comfortable.


    "Hm!" I''m fine! "Thank you, Sister Liu!" After feeling disgusted for a few times, Merlin pretended to smile and said, his eyes still brimming with tears.


    Looking at Sister Mei''s appearance really made one''s heart ache. In a while, tell her to ask for a doctor to come over for her.


    "Alright then!" Let''s go, if not the wangfei would be in a hurry, right? " As Liu Qi said this, she pulled sister Plum out of the room.


    In the Crown Prince''s Palace, a young man dressed in a yellow Six Dragons Silk Robe sat in a pavilion in the back garden, closed his eyes and slowly took a sip. In the south, he had just paid tribute to the West Lake Longjing this autumn, and the corners of his mouth rose as he slowly savored the taste of the tea he had just tasted.


    As the autumn wind blew, the Crown Prince opened his eyes and said coldly, "You can come out now!"


    As soon as the Crown Prince finished speaking, a man in black clothes jumped over the wall and knelt down on one knee in front of the Crown Prince.


    "What did Merlin say?" The Crown Prince then drank another mouthful of Longjing and asked slowly.


    "Go back to the crown prince! "Lady Mei said she would take the opportunity to do so!"


    "Hm!" Take good care of Merlin for me, she is my treasure, understand? " Yu Hanfeng glanced at the kneeling man in front of him. A helpless light shot out of his long and narrow eyes. If this group of trash wasn''t trash, how could I have allowed my treasures to enter the tiger''s den and take the risk?


    "Yes!" "Master!"


    With a wave of his hand, the black-clothed man flipped over the wall. Merlin, Merlin, you must make sure that I return safely. As long as you do me a meritorious service, I will take you as my concubine at all costs.


    Inside the inner hall of the Regent''s Manor, Liu Qi was leading a doctor inside a medicine box. When she saw Qi Shu sitting on a chair, she clasped her hands together and said, "This old man greets Princess Wang!"


    "Exempt!" Sit down! " Qi Wanshi lightly said.


    "May I ask where Princess Hua-Yang is unwell?" The doctor who sat at the side asked the wangfei with a puzzled expression.


    "Thank you, Doctor!" I''m fine! " Qi Wanshi said with a smile on his face.


    "If that''s the case! I wonder why wangfei invited this old one here? " The doctor looked at her doubtfully.


    Qi Wanshi lightly smiled. "Please follow me!" As he spoke, he left the room. The doctor followed the princess to where the servants lived in the backyard.


    The doctor was even more confused. It wasn''t the princess who was injured? Could it be a servant?


    Princess Hua-Yang pushed open a servant''s room and slowly walked in, followed by the doctor. After entering, he saw a beautiful woman lying on the bed in a light purple skirt. Although she wasn''t as beautiful as the princess, she could still be considered charming and enchanting.


    "Elder sister, why are you here?" Merlin watched as Qi Wanxian walked in, then sat up and prepared to get off the bed.


    "Sister, quickly lie down. I''ve invited a doctor to treat you!" While saying this, Qi Wanshi supported Merlin, who was about to sit up, and let her lie on the bed. Then he looked back at the doctor and the doctor realized that his patient was this beautiful little woman.


    The doctor sat on a chair by the bed, feeling his pulse, and asked Merlin about his symptoms. "How long has the girl been ill?"


    "It was only today that I got sick!" Merlin indifferently said.


    The doctor frowned and continued to ask, "Miss, is there any news for you this month?"


    Merlin shyly shook his head.


    The doctor didn''t know what to say. He didn''t know if the girl was married or not. Qi Wan County saw the doctor''s expression and slowly said, "It''s fine, just speak the truth!"


    "This lady is of the wedding vein!" Since the wangfei had already said so, the doctor no longer cared.


    "Xi Mai? Is there a problem with the doctor''s diagnosis? " Qi Wan County opened his eyes wide, unable to believe what he had just heard.


    "Don''t worry, wangfei!" This old one will use thirty years of medical ethics to guarantee that you won''t make a mistake! " The doctor solemnly vowed, and Qi Wan County was also speechless.


    The doctor slowly stood up and cupped his fists. "Princess!" Then, this old one will take my leave! "


    "Doctor, take care!" While saying this, Qi Wan County signaled for Liu Qi to send the doctor out.


    "What are you going to do?" Qi Wanjun looked at Merlin who was sitting on the bed with his head lowered in silence, and said with a pained expression. She didn''t know how to comfort this poor woman, nor did she know how to help this poor woman. It was as if at this moment, all she could do was sit with her in silence.


    "I want to give birth to this child!" Merlin lifted his head and spoke slowly. Suddenly Merlin sneered. "You must think I''m stupid, don''t you? Your husband doesn''t even want me anymore, and I still want to give birth to a child for him? "


    Although she had never given birth to a child, she could understand that it was difficult for a woman, especially a mother. Since Merlin wanted to give birth to a child, she could only support him as a good friend.


    "You have your reasons!" Qi Tong lightly smiled and held Merlin''s hand, and tightly embraced Merlin. "No matter what? I support you! "


    "Thank you! Big Sister Qi! " Merlin smiled as he spoke, tears flowing from the corners of his eyes.

    "Liu Qi, come over here!" Qi Wan County looked at Liu Qi, who had returned with the doctor, and spoke with a serious expression.


    "What''s wrong? "Princess!" Liu Qi slowly walked over and asked the wangfei with a suspicious expression. She had just returned from sending the doctor back, did she do anything wrong? Why was the princess like this?


    "Besides the three of us, we can''t let a fourth person know about your sister Mei''s pregnancy, right? Do you understand? " Qi Wan said righteously.


    "Sister Princess Mei, I understand! Don''t worry! I, Liu Qi, swear I won''t tell anyone! " Liu Qi said this and was about to swear, but was stopped by Merlin.


    "No need, Sister Liu! Sister believes in you! "


    "Thank you, sister!" Liu Qi said with a face full of smiles.


    "Tomorrow, I want to go out and see my cousin. He can help me send a message home, can you see elder sister Qi?" Merlin looked pleadingly at Qi Shu County.


    "Of course you can! I''ll go with you! " Qi Dian said with a smile. When Merlin''s sister went out by herself, she was still a little worried.


    "There are a lot of things in the manor. Big sister Qi is the princess, Merlin doesn''t dare to ask for your help. I think I should let Liu Qi accompany me there, right?" Merlin looked at Liu Qi as he spoke, "I wonder if Little Sister Liu is willing?"


    "Yes! Yes! Of course I''m willing! " When Liu Qi heard that she could leave the mansion again, she really wanted to grow wings like a little bird and quickly flew out of the mansion.


    Merlin sneered in his heart. Liu Qi was always easier to deal with than Qi Hui, this little girl was still very simple.


    "Alright then!" Liu Qi! You have to promise that you will take good care of your sister Mei, or else you will never leave the house ever again? " Qi Wan County raised his eyebrows and threatened fiercely.


    "I promise! I promise! " When Liu Qi heard Wang Fei''s words, it was clear that they were meant to threaten her. This scared Liu Qi so much that she hurriedly promised Wang Fei, afraid that she wouldn''t let her leave home.


    "Thank you elder sister Qi!" Merlin pretended to be excited as he said this. It seemed that this woman was much easier to deceive than he had imagined.


    "Then little sister should rest well. I''ll get Liu Qi to send you dinner later!" While saying this, Qi Wanli helped Merlin gather up the quilts and gently closed the door.


    The steward who was hiding in the distance saw the princess leaving and he slowly left as well. It seemed that the woman was sick, but he didn''t know what kind of illness she was suffering from.


    Merlin tossed and turned on his bed. He had to inform the crown prince of his pregnancy as soon as possible, so that he could prepare himself for it. However, if the crown prince knew that he was pregnant with his flesh and blood, how would he feel in his heart? Would he want the child? No matter what, he had to give birth to this child. Even if the Crown Prince didn''t want it, it didn''t matter. He was the future emperor. How exalted was his status? Was he just a puppet in his hands? As long as he could give birth to this child safely, he hoped that he would let his family off on behalf of the child.


    As he left Merlin''s room, he felt a sudden sense of loss. Was he feeling sorry for Merlin, sorry for her? Or do you feel helpless as a woman? In this era, a man could have four concubines, but a woman had to die one at a time. A man could control his own destiny, but a woman could only entrust her fate to a man to follow the will of the heavens. His life was over. He had married a good husband and had made sure that his children would live a peaceful life. Was he unlucky, yet at any moment he could be like Merlin, abandoned by his own husband? Was this the fate of women?


    Seeing that Merlin Qi Lang thought of her, she didn''t go straight back to the house and instead brought Liu Qi to the familiar lake. As he looked at the sparkling lake surface under the setting sun, he thought of the scene when he had just entered the palace. Those scenes were like a roller coaster, passing through his mind one by one, as if it was yesterday. Even though he was an imperial concubine, who knew what would happen in the future? Would Yu Ling Jing just let him go? Would there be other women who would share her husband with her, as well as that Hong Kou?


    When it came to Hong Kou, Qi Wan County felt very strange. He didn''t know why he hadn''t seen the figure of the prince''s confidante, Hong Qiang, ever since Merlin had entered the manor. Perhaps he had been too busy recently and neglected her? Even the pair of eyes watching him seemed to have disappeared.


    "Liu Qi!" Qi Xi seemed to have awoken from a dream and seemed to have thought of something, and she quickly called for Liu Qi, the servant girl beside her.


    "What''s wrong? "Martial Aunt Wangfei!" Liu Qi had a surprised expression as he asked. This girl deeply remembered her master''s instructions. When there was someone else, she called Qi Wan County "Royal Concubine." If there was no one else present, she would call Qi Wan County "Royal Aunt" and "Royal Aunt".


    "Why haven''t I seen Hong Kou in the past few days?" Qi Wanli asked with an indifferent expression.


    Uncle-master Wangfei, why did you think of that woman?" Liu Qi rubbed her little head and frowned as she asked with a puzzled expression. She really didn''t understand what was going on in her uncle master wangfei''s mind. "That woman was the prince''s confidante, the love rival of Martial Aunt Wangfei. It would be better if she wasn''t here. Could Martial Aunt Wangfei have taken the wrong medicine and cared about that woman?


    "Oh!" I''m just asking! We''re all in the same palace, it''s just a little strange that we haven''t seen each other for a few days! " Qi Wanli lightly smiled as he spoke.


    "I heard that she was sent on a mission by the prince! "As for the specific details of the mission, no one knows!"


    "Oh? "No wonder ¡­" In this way, everything made sense. The one monitoring her from behind was most likely Hong Kou, but with a woman''s intuition, she and the prince were not simply close friends, or perhaps she had feelings for the prince. As for the prince''s intentions towards her, it was unknown.


    "No wonder what? "Martial Aunt Wangfei!" Liu Qi didn''t understand the meaning of these words. She only felt that she was being strange.


    Qi Wanli couldn''t be bothered to explain to this little girl who didn''t know anything, and he said with a face full of laughter, "It''s nothing!" He continued to look at the scenery.


    The next morning, Qi Wan County prepared a carriage for Liu Qi and Merlin, and the two of them went out together.


    After walking to the back garden, he couldn''t help but be excited. He took out the flexible sword from his waist, and borrowed the rustling autumn wind to dance around the garden. The sword qi seemed to have been given life, surrounding her body as it moved freely. Qi Wanli County was sometimes as light as a cloud, sometimes as light as feet on the ground, and sometimes as heavy as a thousand pounds.


    From afar, a slender blue-clothed woman was dancing in the beautiful garden, as if she were in a fairyland.


    As she sat inside the carriage, Liu Qi''s face was filled with joy as she looked at the bustling and bustling carriage that was like flowing water and the market that resembled a dragon. She couldn''t wait to jump off the carriage and run crazily through the streets at this moment, but when she thought of the instructions from her Martial Aunt Wang yesterday, she immediately threw away the curtain in her hands. She pulled back her face, pursed her lips, and turned around with a face of disappointment.


    Merlin had just been wondering how to get rid of Liu Qi. At this moment, when she saw Liu Qi like this, her eyes immediately flashed with a strange light. With a smile on her face, she pulled on Liu Qi''s smooth and delicate hands, "Sister, you''re thinking of going out to play now, aren''t you?"


    "En!" Liu Qi nodded excitedly after hearing the kind words from her elder sister Mei. He frowned again and said dejectedly, "But I want to take good care of my sister!"


    Merlin smiled as before, "Elder sister is already such a big person, I can take good care of myself! Sister, you don''t have to worry. At noon, we will gather at the small teahouse in front of us. " Merlin lifted the curtain of the carriage and pointed at the small teahouse in front of them.


    "But ¡­" Liu Qi still had a hesitant face. She was afraid that the wangfei would be angry after knowing this, but she was even more afraid that the wangfei wouldn''t let her leave the mansion in the future.


    Merlin saw Liu Qi''s worry, so he pulled Liu Qi into his arms and slowly said, "Don''t worry little sister, little sister will just play around as much as you want, big sister will not tell anyone. Big sister will help you get the coachman back, I''ll definitely keep his mouth shut!" Only you and I know of this, and no one else will! "


    Hearing her sister Mei''s considerate words, Liu Qi felt a bit ashamed in her heart. It was as if she were being too selfish. Her sister was thinking for her and she was only thinking of fun. It didn''t seem quite right. But what about you, sister? " Liu Qi came out from her elder sister''s arms and said to her with a face full of worry.


    "Elder sister can take good care of herself, what''s more there is a coachman accompanying her?"


    "Hm!" Okay then, Liu Qi will thank elder sister! We will keep this a secret! " Liu Qi stretched out her pinky and hooked up with Merlin.


    The horse carriage arrived at the front of the small teahouse, then it stopped and put down Liu Qi before continuing forward. Merlin looked at Liu Qi''s jumping figure that was getting further and further away, and the corner of his mouth slanted into a sinister smile. He then took out some silver from his sleeve and handed it to the driver, "This matter is not good to talk about. I am just a plaything!"


    Seeing Merlin defend her sister like this, the coachman took the silver and said with a charming smile, "This little one will not talk too much!"


    Merlin smiled in satisfaction and said slowly, "Stop the tailor shop in front. I want to order a set of clothes!"


    "Alright! Miss, please take a seat! " As the coachman spoke, he took the whip and whipped it, and the horse galloped on.


    Liu Qi was as free as a happy bird. Previously, she thought that Senior Martial Uncle was her lucky star, but now it seemed that Sister Mei was also her lucky star. Her good days were coming, and thinking about it, Liu Qi''s heart was even sweeter than eating honey.


    The carriage stopped in front of the location where Merlin had secretly contacted the master before entering the palace.


    "Please wait here for a moment, I''ll be out soon!"


    "Please, miss. I will wait here!"


    Merlin glanced with her charming almond-shaped eyes at the wretched coachman and walked in, leaving behind only a black plaque with the words "Plum''s Tailor Shop" written in large, liquid gold.

 C69

    After entering the tailor shop, Merlin glanced around. There were two men, a young man dressed as a worker, introducing the materials to several young women.


    Another middle-aged man, who looked like the boss, was standing in the distance and smiling at Merlin. Merlin returned his polite smile.


    Ever since Merlin entered the store, the boss had been paying attention to this woman. Unlike the other girls, she was curious about this piece of material and touched it.


    This woman shouldn''t be here to order clothes. Lao Zui thought to himself as he slowly walked to the side of the woman and said tentatively, "I wonder what you like about the black silk?" "Do you like white silk?"


    Merlin''s eyebrows wrinkled as he slowly said: "I like red silk!"


    The boss'' expression suddenly changed, this phrase was originally a signal to the organization. The owner turned serious and said, "In that case, please follow me!"


    Merlin glanced at the tailor shop again and smiled as he followed the boss to the inner hall.


    This inner chamber was not very large, but it was still considered elegant and refined.


    The shop owner turned around and carefully observed his surroundings. When he found no one suspicious, he carefully closed the door.


    He walked to a shelf that held vases. On top of one of the smallest vases, he twisted his hands. A hidden compartment that could accommodate two people at the same time appeared before his eyes.


    The boss opened the fire piston and walked in front. Merlin followed closely behind him. After walking about half a kilometer, a small room that resembled the bedroom of an inn appeared in front of him. The owner stopped at the door, bowed his head and said, "This way, Miss!"


    Merlin smiled and nodded. He slowly pushed the door open and walked in. The boss closed the door.


    "You''re here?" With a cold voice, a man dressed in black suddenly flashed out.


    "I want to see Master!" Merlin glanced at the man and said indifferently. This damn man tried to take advantage of me last time, see how I''ll deal with you later?


    "Merlin! Before you finish your mission, Master will not see you! " The man said coldly.


    "This man really knows how to pretend. I had taken care of him once, but it seems he was still too light, and he got dragged in again?" Pretend? You''re still pretending in front of me? " Merlin laughed as he reached out to remove the cloth covering the face of the man in black.


    A handsome and clean face appeared in front of Merlin. Merlin''s smile froze on his face. Wasn''t this the face that had flirted with him at the regent''s?


    He could recognize the face that was flirting with him. He was called Han Tong. Although Han Tong was handsome, he had a perverted look. Compared to the face in front of him, it was like heaven and earth!


    "You? "You''re not Han Tong?" Merlin looked at the cold man in front of him and said,


    "I''m his older brother, Han Yi!" The man said coldly!


    No wonder they look so similar!" Merlin glanced at Han Yi and said slowly. It really was a mother giving birth to nine sons. Seeing that Han Tong only stared at the woman''s chest all day, he acted as if he didn''t have any proper bearing. "This Han Yi''s body was emitting an enchanting magic, giving off a feeling of wanting to be close yet fearing to be close. No matter how you looked at it, he didn''t seem like an assassin, but rather like a noble prince who had left the mortal world.


    Han Yi didn''t say anything, but still stood there? He didn''t know why, but after seeing this woman, his cold arrogance was retracted by a lot. If it was in the past, would someone have dared to be so impudent in front of him? At this moment, he was afraid he was already dead, but to this woman, he didn''t.


    "How come I''ve never seen you before?" Merlin raised his eyebrows and stared straight at the handsome man called Han Yi as he spoke.


    "If I hadn''t received my younger brother Han Tong''s letter, I wouldn''t have gotten involved in this dirty struggle between dynasties!" The man indifferently said. His pair of clear eyes seemed to come from another world? It was as if he didn''t belong here.


    It didn''t belong here. How could a hero who only wanted to learn martial arts and didn''t care about money or fame have anything ordinary in his eyes?


    "Are you the crown prince''s man?" Merlin asked doubtfully. This man''s way of doing things didn''t seem like someone who belonged to the crown prince. But if he wasn''t the crown prince''s man, how would he know about this place? This was the location where Merlin had contacted Prince Han Tong while preparing to infiltrate the Regent''s Estate. It was impossible for others to know of this place.


    The man shook his head.


    Since they were not the people of the crown prince, they were his enemies. Towards his enemies, Merlin would not be lenient. She quickly pulled out the hairpin from her head and stabbed it towards the man''s chest. The man dodged like lightning and instantly locked onto Merlin''s wrist. His other hand pinched Merlin''s neck as the hairpin fell to the ground.


    "How do you know this place?" Merlin glared angrily at the proud and aloof man in front of him as he spoke fiercely. Although he was at a disadvantage, with his temper, Merlin could not give in to anyone.


    "I just said that I''m Han Tong''s brother. Naturally, it was my brother who told me!" There was a trace of disdain in the man''s voice. There was a trace of ridicule, as if he was ridiculing Merlin for being retarded.


    "Where''s Han Tong?" I want to see him! " Looking at this man''s overbearing attitude, the anger in Merlin''s stomach flared up, and he wanted nothing more than to kill this man with his eyes.


    "How do I know where he is?" The man glanced at Merlin and spoke coldly. There was a trace of disdain in his eyes.


    Damn it, why is this man looking at me like that? I, Merlin, had always been the one who despised others, but now I''m being looked down on. How can Merlin endure this?


    "If it wasn''t because you are Big Brother Han Tong?" I wasn''t polite just now! "


    "If it weren''t for my little brother Han Tong, you would already be a dead man!" The man sneered and let go of Merlin. This reckless woman was really something. It was laughable that she was still being stubborn even in such a disadvantageous situation.


    "You ¡­ How do you know my name? " Merlin was so angry with the man in front of him that he only now remembered the question.


    "Of course it was my brother who told me. I didn''t expect a retard to come after waiting for so long!" Han Yi inadvertently said this. Just as he finished speaking, he was already complaining in his heart? What''s wrong with me today? Why should I be serious with a woman?


    "I want to see Han Tong!" Merlin was so angry that he shouted loudly. He had not gone out to read the imperial calendar today, so how could he have met this barbarian?


    "Who wants to see me?" Following the voice, a sloppy-looking man with a stalk of withered grass in his mouth walked to Merlin''s side, looking at him with a lewd smile. "Hey?" Darling, did you miss me? "


    "Pui!" Two brothers against one * *! " Merlin glared at Han Tong and said,


    "Han Tong did not care how Merlin scolded her. This woman, especially the pretty ones, all had a temper, he could understand." "Say it, you want to see me? What''s the matter?" Han Tong said with a mischievous smile.


    "Tell the Crown Prince! I''m pregnant! "


    "What?" "Are you pregnant?" Han Tong looked at Merlin in surprise and asked, "Crown Prince?"


    "Don''t ask anymore, just pass the word along!" Merlin lowered his head in shame, his face flushed red.


    "Humph!" Are women nowadays really good enough? I can''t stand the loneliness anymore at such a young age! " The one who spoke was not Han Tong, but Han Yi, who was standing at the side.


    Merlin listened to Han Yi''s sarcastic remarks, and felt as if a cold knife was stabbing into his heart. The pain was so painful that it almost suffocated him. She suddenly raised her head and looked at Han Yi with eyes full of grievance, tears streaming down her face. He wanted to curse at the man, but he didn''t know how.


    Han Yi looked at Merlin, then turned to his younger brother Han Tong and said, "Don''t go to that kind of place anymore! And next time, don''t let me disguise myself as you again! " As he said this, he took off the layer of black skin, threw it on Han Tong''s body, and quickly left.


    "Eh? "Brother ¡­" Han Tong held the clothes that his brother Han Yi left behind and shouted towards the direction that Han Yi left.


    "Humph!" "Damn man!" Merlin walked out as well, cursing, leaving only Han Tong behind.


    Outside the tailor shop, Merlin looked at the sun. It was already noon, and he still had to rush to the teahouse to meet up with Liu Qi. Merlin thought and boarded a horse carriage.


    Looking at the back of the horse carriage that Merlin was riding, a handsome man who was hiding in a corner jumped off and onto the back of a horse.


    As he sat in the carriage, a strange sense of loss rose in Merlin''s heart. How could he say that about me? Tears rolled down his face as he thought about it. Merlin quickly wiped away his tears. "What''s wrong with me? Why do I care so much about the words of an outsider?" Really, I don''t care, I don''t care!


    As he sat in the main hall looking at Yu Ling Jing, who was beside Qi Lan, Merlin thought of Han Yi, who had no appetite at all. It was unknown why Merlin always felt that there was something very similar to Han Yi in Yu Ling Jing''s body, but he couldn''t tell what exactly it was. Could he have fallen in love? The Crown Prince''s mission was not completed yet and he was pregnant, he was truly worried to death. Why did the Crown Prince insist on killing Qi Lan County? Was it because she wanted to protect the regent? Protect her husband? No, I can''t do it until I figure it out.


    Within the Crown Prince''s Palace, a man dressed in black was kneeling down on one knee next to a man dressed in azure dragon robes. "Reporting to Crown Prince, Merlin is pregnant!"


    "What?" Merlin pregnant? That means this crown prince is going to be your father? " This was truly good news. Merlin had really brought him great rewards, since he was pregnant with his own flesh and blood. As long as she completes this assassination mission, this crown prince would not fear any resistance and take her as his side concubine!


    "Congratulations, Your Highness!" Han Tong, who was kneeling on the ground, cupped his fists and greeted him.


    Hahaha ¡­


    The cold wind guffawed at the sky.

 C70

    In the evening, a handsome man in a white robe rode by on a fine horse. The dust behind him was a sign of his urgency. When the horse he was driving arrived in front of a noble and elegant mansion, he lifted his long straight legs and quickly jumped off the horse.


    He hastily entered the residence. Behind him, there were only four words that stood out behind him: "Regent''s Manor".


    The man went straight to the study. He straightened his clothes at the door and knocked on the door.


    "Come in!" Following the familiar yet cold voice, the man who knocked on the door walked in with a smile.


    "Your Highness! Everything has been settled! " The man cupped his fists and smiled gently.


    Yu Lingjing slowly raised his head and sized him up. The corner of the mouth of this man who was even more delicate and pretty than a woman lifted slightly. Not bad? Hong Kou! With that attire, even This King will not be able to recognize you? "


    "Thank you for your praise, Prince!" Your servant''s attire is also for the convenience of handling errands for the prince! " Hong Kou smiled confidently. In front of his prince, she would forever be his truest self.


    "How are the widows?" Yu Lingjing asked with concern. He also knew that it wasn''t easy to be a warrior after all rolling and rolling in the battlefield. He was ready to die for his country at any time, but he pitied his wife and children. Therefore, how to pacify the widow of a hero who had sacrificed his life for his country was a headache for him. After he was done with it, he would be able to show kindness to his subordinates and would not be able to deal with anyone from the inside if he couldn''t. Therefore, dealing with these problems was also the best way to test one''s wisdom. Fortunately, Hong Kou had followed Yu Ling Jing for many years, and was meticulous and quick-witted. Letting her handle this would save Yu Ling Jing a lot of thought.


    "They say that it is their fortune to have their men follow the prince. They are all deeply grateful to the prince!" Although she was deeply grateful to her lord, it was also because of her, Hong Kou, that she had contributed greatly.


    "Hmm? After travelling for so long, you should hurry back to your room to rest! " After saying this, Yu Lingjing lowered his head and continued with his official duties.


    Hong Kou wanted to say something, but he saw that the Prince''s thoughts were no longer on her. He squatted down and said, "Your servant will take his leave!"


    After exiting the study, Hong Kou frowned. He was still a bit worried. She had to understand the situation in the manor, especially the few days she was away. Thinking of this, she went to her good sister Lulu''s room.


    "Elder sister is much more handsome than the man in this outfit! Once you leave this place, who knows how many girls will be enchanted? " Luro looked at Hong Kou who was disguised as a man and couldn''t help but tease her.


    "Stupid girl!" Looking for a beating, right? " As Hong Kou said this, he extended his fist in a fighting manner.


    "Elder sister, don''t blame me!" Luro is just joking with elder sister? " "Big sister Hong Kou seems to be angry," Lu Luo said after changing colors.


    "I''ll give you a chance to redeem yourself! Tell me everything that happened in the few days I was gone, and if you perform well, I will spare you! "


    "Sister! So many things have happened in the few days you were away? But why should I tell you? "What good is that to me?" Lu Luo raised her thin eyebrows. She wasn''t tricked by Hong Kou, so her elder sister''s words were obviously a trick.


    "Stupid girl!" Are you really looking for a beating? " Hong Kou''s fist landed on Lu Luo. Lu Luo acted as if it was extremely difficult for him, and with a face full of pain, he burrowed into Hong Ke''s embrace, "Big sis, kill me, I''m not going to live anymore!"


    "Alright!" Stupid girl! I''m really afraid of you? What do you want to say? " Hong Kou pushed away the green Luo that was in her arms. This little girl was a business expert and never does business that suffers losses, and every time he heard a few words from her, he would definitely bleed. Otherwise, that little girl would not say anything even if she died. But to Hong Qiang, other than the prince, nothing else was important. So, she didn''t care what Lulu wanted from her. As long as she could do it, she would be satisfied.


    "Sister! I want the jade thumb ring that you brought back from the Western Regions! " "Hehe," Lu Luo giggled, seemingly not the least bit embarrassed.


    "Girl? His appetite was big enough? That''s your sister''s treasure! " Actually, she didn''t really care much about that thumb ring. It was just that, if she were to say it like that, she would be happy in her heart.


    "Sister! My sister! " Ever since she entered the Prince''s Mansion, Big Sister Hong Kou had been like her own elder sister. No matter what she had, she would always think of her, and as long as she wanted her elder sister to have the ability, she would always give it to her.


    "Alright!" Alright! I''ll just give it to you! If I don''t give it to you now, you''ll break my arm! " She was used to her little sister being around her. After all, she was the only person in the Prince''s Mansion that Hong Kou could accompany her, and other than the Prince, she was the only person who treated her sincerely in the Prince''s Mansion. Although this girl was greedy for money, she was not an unrighteous person. Thus, this was also a place where both the prince and Hong Kou admired her.


    "Thank you, sister!" After that, he told his sister everything that had happened in the manor in the past few days. Although they were maidservants, Lulu and Hong Kou were the same. In this palace, they only recognized the prince and were only loyal to the prince, and everything else had nothing to do with them, so they wouldn''t care about it.


    Qi Wan County took Liu Qi and Merlin for a walk by the lake, intoxicated in his own world, enjoying the comfortable wind blowing across his face, infinitely comfortable, infinitely beautiful. However, this comfort, this beauty, was suddenly interrupted by an ice-cold voice ¡­


    "Princess Hua-Yang is so satisfied?" The three of them turned around and looked at the voice. A beautiful woman in red entered their eyes. Her skin was as white as snow and her makeup was exquisite. They couldn''t help but marvel at this creator. He could actually create such a wonderful girl.


    "Miss Hong Kou, how have you been?! These few days, it''s become even more beautiful! " Qi Dian said with a smile. Since this woman had come back, he should be more careful.


    "I''m ashamed! Compared to a heroine like you, esteemed wangfei, who doesn''t give in to words, you can''t possibly be compared! " Hong Kou calmly said, but his words were filled with provocation. Her clear black and white phoenix eyes swept over Merlin, and her lips curved into a smile, "I presume this is Miss Plum, I''ve heard a lot about you!"


    Merlin smiled back at Hong Kou, "Miss Hong Kou is serious!" This woman was not simple at all. She actually didn''t place the imperial concubine of Qi Hui County in her eyes. Just what kind of status did she have? Although Merlin had just arrived, he was still an old man who had stayed in the crown prince''s mansion for many years. As for the rules, she could tell. It was just that it would be inconvenient for him to get involved in the silent battle between her and Qi Dian County while he was living under someone else''s roof.


    In the end, Hong Kou''s gaze fell on Qi Wan County. After all, she was his real opponent. As for the other unrelated people, she didn''t have the time or energy to ask about them.


    She came here today to demonstrate her prowess. Although I, Hong Que, am not in the mansion for a few days, I, Hong Que, am still aware of your every move.


    How could Qi Wanli not know what the Red Bandits were thinking? It was one thing for a maid to not put her mistress in her eyes. Yet, the moment she returned to the manor, she came before him to demonstrate her strength? Wasn''t this obvious? If he were to say that she had nothing to do with her husband, even ghosts would not believe him.


    She was a soulmate of her husband, and had once been a treasure held in his hands. She couldn''t let her husband misunderstand her and lose his dignity in front of his servants. How could she not be a laughingstock?


    Since you made your move, I will break it apart. After all, I am the wangfei, and you, Hong Kou, are only a maidservant when you gain the trust of the prince.


    "Miss Hong Kou does things for my husband with great diligence and meritorious services. I should have prepared some food and wine as an imperial concubine to pay my respects, but I let Hong Kou pay me a visit first. I really shouldn''t have done that!" Qi Wanli''s words were very polite.


    However, there was a hint of mockery in his tone. ''You servant girl, come back and flaunt yourself in front of me, the wangfei. Do you want me to eat and drink to serve you?''


    Seeing Qi Wanxian still smiling, Hong Qi Kui couldn''t help but wish he could eat and drink his blood in his heart. No wonder the prince was fooled by her until he was in circles. He must think of a way to let the prince clearly see that slut''s true appearance and chase her out of the palace.


    "What kind of words is'' wangfei ''? This servant really has lost her life! " Hong Kou did not back down, and a sharp sword seemed to shoot out of his ice-cold eyes. If this gaze could kill, then who knew how many times this Qi Lang county had died.


    Qi Wanshi thought to himself, You should have known that you were a servant, yet you dared to be so impudent in front of your mistress? Wasn''t this wangfei afraid of you? I''m too lazy to bother with you. He maintained a smile from the beginning to the end, "For dinner tonight, I have ordered the kitchen to prepare a few more side dishes to welcome Miss Hong Kou into the welcoming ceremony, okay?"


    "No need!" After Hong Ke finished speaking, he glanced at the three of them and angrily turned around to leave. That slut will let you be proud for a few days, and be arrogant for a few days. Once I, Hong Kou, find your weakness, I''ll see how you get out of the palace. Thinking about that, Hong Kou''s mouth slanted and revealed a faint smile.


    "Princess!" Why are you being polite to her? Let''s tell the prince! " Liu Qi said with a face of displeasure. She didn''t understand why Martial Aunt Wangfei would tolerate this woman so much.


    Qi Dian shook his head and indifferently said, "She has followed the prince for many years and is also his confidante. Furthermore, I have only been at the palace for a short while, yet she has already started to stir up trouble in front of the prince, what about her? If you were the Prince, would you believe it? "


    Hearing the words of the wangfei, Liu Qi seemed to understand.


    Merlin also sighed in his heart. It seems like the concubine of Qi Wan County was not easy to be?

 C71

    It was a windy night, and the moon hung in the sky like a dim disk. In the small forest outside the Residence of Regent, a gust of autumn wind blew. Four black figures flashed as they all knelt behind the middle-aged man with his hands behind his back. "Disciples greet Master!"


    "Get up!" A familiar yet good-natured face was reflected in his eyes. This person was the master of the Regent, King Yu Ling Jing and steward of his household, Nangong Yu. "Wind and lightning, how is the investigation I had you all investigate?"


    "Reporting to Master! "I''ve found out that the person who assassinated the princess a few days ago had something to do with the crown prince?" The one who spoke was the head of the four guards, the Wind Guard.


    "Imperial Cold Wind? It really has something to do with him! " Twenty years ago, his Nangong family was destroyed by Yu Hanfeng''s grandfather, the Shangguan family. A few months ago, the Qi family was massacred by the crown prince, and a few days ago, the crown prince sent someone to assassinate Royal Concubine Qi County. This series of blood cases had all been linked together because of the Imperial Palace''s battle. Then why did the Crown Prince want to assassinate her? "


    "This?" Disciples have not been investigated! " This time, the one who spoke was Lei Bao.


    "It must be related to the Qi family, right?" The Wind Guard cupped his fists and said indifferently.


    "Qi family?" Butler replied. Speaking of the Qi Family, butler Nangong Yu''s eyes flashed with a trace of sympathy. The Qi family and his Nangong family had a similar experience. Since they were aristocratic families of Jianghu, they had accidentally caused their families to be exterminated because they had been involved in the battle for the palace. The wangfei''s surname was Qi, then what kind of relationship did she have with the Qi family? Thinking of this, the butler quickly turned to the four men in black and viciously said, "Wind, Rain, Thunder and Lightning!"


    "Disciple is here!"


    "Investigate the relationship between the wangfei and the Qi family immediately!"


    "Yes sir!" Before the four of them finished speaking, they had already disappeared into the boundless darkness with a glare of their feet. In the place where they had just stood, there were some leaves that had fallen from the autumn wind, as if they had never come here before.


    Fallen leaves fell onto the steward''s grey hair. The steward was still standing there like a soldier. Princess Hua-Yang had been assassinated for no reason. She had saved a woman her husband had kidnapped and sold off on the day she was assassinated, and she had even brought this woman back to the residence? Was this a coincidence? The butler looked into the distance with his pitch-black eyes and said slowly, "Next, the Royal Mansion will be bustling with noise and excitement!"


    Early in the morning, everything was quiet. The first rays of dawn lit up the sky, and the darkness was about to fade. The dawn light slowly woke up the sleeping creatures.


    Yu Ling Jing put on his court uniform, kissed the smiling Qi Wan County in his sleep, and walked out of the room. If the sky was peaceful and the land was calm, then Yours Truly would like to be an idle person to accompany his beloved to stroll by the lake and watch the rising sun. If the sun was setting, wouldn''t it be great if we traveled together to the great rivers and mountains to taste the delicacies everywhere? When he thought of this, Yu Ling Jing''s lips unconsciously curled up into a faint smile.


    When Yu Lingjing reached the palace gates, she was stopped by a familiar and annoying voice, "Royal Uncle, please wait!" The one who spoke was the crown prince, Yu Ling Jing, who was wearing a yellow Six Dragons Silk Robe. Yu Ling Jing didn''t pay him any attention as he continued walking. The corner of the crown prince''s mouth tilted to one side as he quickly caught up to Yu Ling Jing, walking right next to him. He looked at Yu Ling Jing and sneered: "Royal uncle, are you looking good? I presume that Imperial Aunt is unharmed? "


    "Is Imperial Aunt safe?" The other meaning of this sentence was that Qi''er County was unwell? Hearing the words about Qi Wan County, Yu Ling Jing immediately stopped, his cold eyes staring at Yu Feng. "What do you mean?" Yu Lingjing really didn''t understand what Yu Lingfeng meant, was there something wrong with Qi Wan?


    "Maybe! Your Imperial Uncle had to work hard for the country and might have neglected your Imperial Aunt, but you actually didn''t even know that your Imperial Aunt was assassinated a few days ago? " Yu Hanfeng said with a mocking expression. From his eyes, it could be seen that he was very proud of himself. That''s right, isn''t your Regent, Yu Lingjing, also known as the War God? No matter how heroic and invincible you are on the battlefield, you can''t even protect a woman at home? If word of this got out, wouldn''t he be laughed to death?


    Yu Ling Jing grabbed onto Yu Feng''s collar, and with bloodthirsty eyes, he wished he could skin Yu Feng alive. "This King warns you!" If you have the ability, come at This King. Don''t use women as weapons! "


    "It seems royal uncle and his wife have a deep affection for each other?" I''m so jealous! " Yu Hanfeng pretended to be envious as he said, "Imperial Uncle was with Imperial Aunt every day, but didn''t Imperial Aunt tell you? From the looks of it, Imperial Aunt also doesn''t seem like a couple with deep feelings for each other? "


    That''s right, she didn''t even tell me about the assassination attempt on my wife. Just what is my position in her heart? Yu Ling Jing suddenly felt a sense of loss, and slowly let go of Yu Feng. He stood there blankly, but Yu Ling Jing just laughed loudly and left.


    At the same time, when Qi Wan had just gotten up and washed up, Liu Qi ran over with a happy face. "Senior Master!" A guest is coming! "


    "Guest?" "Who is it?" Senior sister was not here, she did not have any other friends in the capital besides the official and Ruan Qingyan. However, there was no need to notify the officials every time he came. As for Qing Yan? Was it impossible for her to come to the Residence of Regent on her own accord? Who could it be?


    "It''s a handsome guy that''s even more handsome than Prince!" Liu Qi''s smiling face was quite suspicious.


    A handsome guy that was even more handsome than Yu Lingjing? Who could be more handsome than Yu Lingjing? It wasn''t that Qi Wan County was praising her man, but so far, she had never seen a man more handsome than Yu Ling Jing, so she had been wondering, who exactly was this person?


    "Let''s go, Uncle-Master!" "You''ll know in a bit." As Liu Qi said this, she pulled Qi Lang toward the door.


    Arriving at the main hall, he saw a skinny man with his hair tied in a bun. He wore a white robe and had his hands behind his back, looking very graceful from the view of his back. Qi Dian politely cupped his fist and asked with a smile, "May I ask who this brother is?"


    The man turned around and smiled at Qi Wanxian.


    Qing Yan? Why is it you? " Qi Dian looked at the man who had turned around in surprise. She was his good friend, the Medical Saint, Ruan Qingyan. Liu Qi was right, this Qing Yan was indeed more handsome than Yu Ling Jing.


    "I came to see if you had recovered?" Ruan Qingyan lightly said, then she took Qi Lang''s small hand and took her pulse.


    Qi Dian County actually enjoyed the process of the Medical Saint taking over one''s pulse. It had to be known that not everyone had the treatment of a Medical Saint. As Qi Dian County thought of this, its heart was filled with joy.


    Ever since she cured the poison in the county, she had returned to the house they bought together to study poisons and had not come to visit the county. Today, her research was successful. Since she was free for the time being, she came to check on her good friend''s recovery before coming out to relax. Ever since the county married into the manor, only Qing Mo Xue and her remained in the manor. Now that Qing Mo Xue was not around, she was bored. If she was the only one living in the city, she would have gotten used to it. However, after living with Mo Xue, she seemed to have gotten infected by them.


    "Very good! "It seems like you''ve recovered!" Ruan Qingyan slowly said as she let go of Qi Shu County''s arm.


    "You damned girl, why didn''t you say Qing Yan was here earlier?" Qi Wanli pointed at Liu Qi''s small head and pretended to be angry as he spoke.


    Liu Qi giggled, "Royal Consort! Didn''t I want to give you a surprise? "


    Qi Wan glanced at Liu Qi and said with a wry smile, "You''re quite surprised?" As for joy, so was it. However, this little girl was intentionally toying with her, so she didn''t say where her happiness lay.


    "Liu Qi, go accompany Merlin, I still have something to say to Qing Yan." While saying that, Qi Wanjun pulled Ruan Qingyan and walked out.


    In the imperial court, Yu Lingjing was like a different person. He was not in the mood to listen to the opinions and strategies of the ministers, nor was he in the mood to argue with the crown prince. Every time he was assassinated, his wife would stay by his side to protect him. But when his wife was assassinated, where was his husband? He had seen too many of those scene, and he had never been afraid? But whenever he thought of Qi and Hui County in such a situation, Yu Ling Jing became restless and absent-minded. Yu Lingjing knew he cared about his wife, but didn''t know he had planted her in his bones.


    Crown Prince Yu Hanfeng looked at his imperial uncle, whose heart was no longer in it, and felt as beautiful as if he had eaten honey. After battling with his Imperial Uncle for so many years, he had almost never obtained any advantages. Although this time was no exception, the assassination attempt had not been successful. But as long as he saw Yu Ling Jing in a trance, worried about his personal gains and losses, Yu Feng was happy, as if he had won a war. It seems that Imperial Uncle still cared a lot about that woman. As long as he cared about her, it was fine, but he was afraid that he wouldn''t care. As long as he cared, this crown prince would have a handle on Yu Lingjing!


    Next to the court, Yu Ling Jing walked out of the door of the court like a zombie. He looked at the frightened white pigeons flying past him, and he seemed to see Qi Lun County struggling.


    At this time, the Crown Prince, Yu Hanfeng, passed by him. He glanced at him and fiercely said, "Uncle Huang''s good methods are truly worthy of my admiration!"


    Yu Lingjing''s cold eyes stared at Yu Hanfeng, and he said indifferently, "I wonder what the Crown Prince''s intentions are?"


    Yu Hanfeng sneered and looked straight at Yu Lingjing, "Do you think you can protect her just by marrying that fish that escaped the net into the mansion? You think I don''t know anything? "


    Yu Lingjing looked at Yu Lingfeng in surprise. So he already knew that his wife was related to the Qi family, so he sent people to assassinate her?


    "I want to see how long Royal Uncle can you protect that fish that escaped the net for. "Hahaha ¡­"


    Looking at the crown prince''s back as he left, Yu Lingjing was shocked. Just how could he protect this little girl?

 C72

    It was already noon by the time he returned to the manor. Yu Lingjing did not return to the room where he lived with Qi Dian and instead went to the housekeeper Nangong Yu''s room.


    "May I know why Your Highness is here?" the steward asked as he looked at Yu Lingjing''s troubled expression.


    "If wangfei gets stabbed, I hope the steward will put in more effort to protect wangfei in the future!" Yu Ling Jing said indifferently as he stared at the person in front of him, the person he respected the most in his heart.


    "Don''t worry, your highness!" This old one will definitely protect Princess Hua-Yang well! " The butler calmly said.


    Looking at his master''s indifferent expression, could it be that he already knew that his wife had been assassinated? Yu Lingjing decided to test his master to see if he really knew. Suddenly, he shifted his gaze and asked coldly, "Who does the butler think it was?"


    "This old man is useless, I don''t know what he''s capable of!" The steward spoke indifferently, "My prince, my prince, how could this old man not know your thoughts? But now is not the time to discuss these matters. What should be discussed now is how to protect you and my princess."


    Master is truly watertight, he actually started laughing with This King. Yu Lingjing was a little disappointed in his heart, but he forgot that the person sitting opposite him was his teacher who raised him up and taught him martial arts. His little tricks were too child''s play in front of his master.


    "In that case, This King will be taking his leave!" Yu Ling Jing turned and walked out after he finished his sentence.


    Looking at Yu Lingjing''s back, the steward''s lips curled up in a faint smile.


    Ruan Qingyan did not stay for lunch and left before Yu Ling Jing returned to the manor. She was not used to eating with people other than Qi Lan and Qing Mo Xue, she felt that it would be uncomfortable if there were more people.


    After lunch, when Merlin wanted to leave the house, Qi Wanli asked Liu Qi to accompany him. Now all that was left on the table were Qi''er County and Yu Ling Jing. The two of them stared at each other. No one spoke. They just sat there for an hour.


    Finally, Qi Wanli couldn''t help but open his mouth first, "May I ask what Prince has in mind today?" "Why do you look so depressed?"


    Yu Lingjing looked at his beautiful and considerate wife and thought of how she had been assassinated outside the estate. His heart ached. Nothing? This King only... " Yu Lingjing paused, not knowing what to say next.


    Qi Wan County saw that Yu Ling Jing seemed to want to say something, but stopped himself. He knew that Yu Ling Jing had encountered something difficult to talk about! He then said with a smile, "Prince, you and I are husband and wife, what can''t we say for our wives?"


    Hearing his wife''s words, Yu Lingjing no longer cared. "The assassination attempt on my wife''s life a few days ago was all this king''s fault. I was careless and didn''t send anyone to protect my wife! I hope my wife won''t blame me? "


    Qi Wanjun slowly stood up and walked to Yu Ling Jing''s side. He sat down and held Yu Ling Jing''s hand. He looked into Yu Ling Jing''s eyes, and said with a smile, "This matter has nothing to do with Prince!" Qi Wanli knew Yu Ling Jing cared about him, and because she knew Yu Ling Jing cared about her, she didn''t tell Yu Ling Jing about the assassination, but he still found out.


    Yu Lingjing pulled Qi Rui into his arms, and sighed deeply. Tears flickered in his eyes, and he said slowly, "Believe in this king! This will never happen again! "


    "This lowly concubine believes in Your Highness!" Qi Wanxian had a blissful expression as he snuggled up against the bosom of his beloved. He only wished that time could be frozen here forever. He didn''t know when, but Qi Dian felt that he had changed into a different person in front of Yu Ling Jing, becoming a lot more docile. Perhaps it was because of the Qi Family being annihilated, or perhaps it was because he cared about him, or perhaps it was because he was the one he longed for.


    After leaving the mansion, Merlin left Liu Qi and went to the tailor shop by himself, just like last time. She had to know everything about Chiru. She couldn''t be a machine, like a fool, just listening to orders and killing people without asking why? After entering the secret compartment, Merlin felt that the atmosphere was not right. It seemed to be a lot quieter, but was it different from the last time he came? The reason for her alertness was due to her profession. Unexpectedly, the moment she pushed open the door and entered, she started to fight with someone. In the darkness, she could not clearly see the person''s face, so Merlin was no longer polite.


    "Eh?" Merlin cried out and fainted.


    This frightened the man who had fought Merlin. He had originally wanted to tease this woman, but who would have thought? The man immediately opened the fire piston and lit the oil lamp. By the light of the lamp, the man could see that Merlin''s lips were black and her face was black. He knew that she had been poisoned. He quickly undid Merlin''s clothes to search for the wound, then used his mouth to suck out the venom ¡­


    Merlin''s consciousness slowly gathered, and the pain in his wound continued. She slowly opened her eyes and saw a familiar yet annoying face looking at her.


    "You think you can secretly hit me with your little cat martial arts?" Save it! " This person was Han Yi. Originally, he did not want to help his little brother Han Tong, but after thinking about it, he agreed to help her for some reason.


    "Why is it you again?" The moment he saw Han Yi, the nameless fire in Merlin''s stomach flared up. He hated her for everything, as if the heavens were deliberately going against him.


    "Do you think I really want to see you, you bitch? If it weren''t for my little brother Han Tong, even if your beloved crown prince came to invite me, I wouldn''t have come!" Han Yi said coldly, "I advise you not to use these underhanded methods in the future, otherwise you''ll be at a disadvantage yourself?" He glanced at Merlin''s bare left shoulder.


    Merlin looked at where the man was looking at and immediately put on his clothes. He pointed at Han Yi with a face full of anger and shouted, "F * ck!"


    "*?" Humph! "If I really was a pervert, I would have ¡­" Han Yi said indifferently, but his eyes swept across Merlin''s lower body, meaning that he understood what Merlin meant.


    What this man said made sense. In that case, he was the real deal. What could he do? Thinking about that, he felt that he had wrongly blamed him, so he quickly said embarrassedly, "That? I''m sorry, thank you! "


    "What are you talking about? I didn''t hear it! " Han Yi put his hand to his ear, and leaned his right cheek forward, pretending that he couldn''t hear anything.


    "Sorry? "Thank you!" Merlin''s voice was much louder.


    "What?" I still can''t hear you! " The man remained in the same position.


    Merlin was angry, knowing the man was teasing her. He opened his eyes wide, opened his little face and fiercely said, "Go to hell!"


    "Women these days are not only unable to endure loneliness, they are also very ungrateful, aren''t they?" Han Yi hugged his hands and said in a weird voice.


    "Who did you say could not endure loneliness? Who did you say was ungrateful? " Merlin pointed at Han Yi and cursed.


    "Other than me, this room is also for you. You''re really retarded!"


    "You? You''re talking nonsense! " Merlin was so angered by this man that he didn''t know how to refute.


    "To be pregnant before marriage, if it is not unable to endure loneliness, then what is? I saved you, so it''s fine if you don''t feel grateful towards me, but you''re even cursing at me. Han Yi''s words were just and fair, leaving Merlin speechless. Just as he finished speaking, Han Yi was a bit regretful. He didn''t know why he was so fussed over a woman. Was this still the proud and aloof Han Yi of the past?


    Merlin did not say anything else. He sat down on the ground and began to cry. She felt that she had been wronged and helpless. As a result of being sold to the crown prince''s residence as a child, she was trained to be an assassin by the crown prince. As she grew older, she would grow up to be slim, graceful, and beautiful. Now, in order to complete his mission, his family was taken hostage by the Crown Prince? How could he decide his own fate? Who could sympathize with him?


    Seeing this woman crying so miserably, but Han Yi''s heart started to hurt? It seemed like the reason for this girl''s crying was related to him, it was caused by him. He walked slowly to Merlin, squatted down, and patted her shoulder. "I''m sorry," he said slowly.


    Merlin shook off his hand and angrily said, "Go away!"


    Han Yi didn''t leave. Instead, he sat beside Merlin and accompanied her in this manner, as if being able to sit with her was a very fortunate thing.


    "Do you think I want to? Do you think I''m willing to live under someone else''s roof and be manipulated? Who would understand my pain? Even if I am pregnant with that person''s child, doesn''t he still use my family as hostages to threaten me? " Merlin spat out the words in his heart. He had no idea why he would reveal the secret he had hidden in his heart in front of a man he had only met twice.


    Hearing Merlin''s words, Han Yi felt that this girl was very pitiful, and needed someone to protect her. Thinking of this, he stretched out his arm and pulled the crying girl into his arms. Merlin, who was crying with sorrow, did not refuse, as if she really wished that she had a shoulder to lean on to let her vent her emotions.


    "I''m sorry! I shouldn''t have said that about you! " At this moment, Han Yi saw Merlin''s reaction, and said with a face full of self-blame. His cold eyes were no longer cold. He used to be so carefree, so resolute, and so cold. Why had he changed the moment he met this woman? It was as if the coldness in her heart had turned into a net of tenderness in front of her.


    Merlin regained his senses and stopped crying. He pushed the man who was holding her away and slowly said, "You are right! But humans are different, I am the one who cannot control his destiny! " A hint of despair flashed in his eyes, but it also seemed like there was a trace of desire. If one did not have enough power, how could they control their destiny?


    "There are always unlimited possibilities in life, don''t be discouraged! Perhaps your fate will change? " Han Yi looked into Merlin''s eyes and said emotionally.


    Merlin seemed to see hope in his eyes, and replied with a faint smile. Han Yi smiled and held Merlin''s hand, "If you need help, then come find me!"


    "..."

 C73

    "Okay then, can you help me check Qi Wan County''s real identity? And why must Crown Prince Yu Feng kill her? " When Merlin saw the sincere eyes of this handsome and handsome man, the defense in his heart seemed to have dropped to the lowest point. He wondered why he would trust this man so much at this moment. It was as if everything was natural for her to be with him.


    "No problem!" Han Yi said indifferently. To him, being able to help this helpless and pitiful woman in front of him was a very happy thing. He hoped that she could continue to rely on him this much, and that he could continue to help her this way.


    "That?" It''s getting late, I should return to the Residence of Regent! " As he spoke, Merlin embarrassedly pulled back the small hand that Han Yi was holding, and slowly stood up with a flushed face.


    "Take care!" Han Yi faintly spat out these two words, as if other than these two words, the rest of his words were unnecessary. His hand was still in the same position as Merlin''s hand had been when he pulled it out.


    "Take care!" Merlin smiled and said the same word. He glanced at Han Yi, then turned around and left.


    Han Yi gently picked up the hairpin that Merlin dropped on the ground. As he looked at this hairpin, it was as if Han Yi saw Merlin''s brilliant smile. The corner of his mouth unconsciously raised into a faint smile. He did not know why he was attracted by this woman he had only seen twice, but every time he saw her, his heart would beat wildly, and he would not be able to help himself from saying those words he did not want to say. If he did not see her today, he could guarantee that even if his brother Han Tong knelt in front of him, he would not be here, and would not get involved in their dirty business again.


    After leaving the tailor''s shop, Merlin slowly walked towards the small teahouse. Her mind was filled with images of a handsome face. This face seemed to be etched into her heart, and would not go away for a long time. Merlin''s eyes flashed with tears of helplessness as he sneered. So what if you miss him? You are not on the same path. Thinking of this, Merlin quickly used his sleeve to wipe away his tears and quickly walked forward.


    When he returned to his residence, it was already late in the morning.


    Merlin and Liu Qi went to the inner hall of Qi Wan County together, only to see the mischievous kitten sleeping with its back facing them. The two of them smiled at each other, tacitly wanting to tease this adorable and gentle princess.


    They tiptoed around the room looking for tools to seduce Qi and Hui County, but after a long time, they still couldn''t find them. At this moment, they suddenly heard three words, "It''s so beautiful!" When the princess woke up, Merlin and Liu Qi''s hearts almost jumped out of their chests. They looked at each other and slowly turned around with their eyes closed, feeling helpless. They were ready to ask Qi Shu how should they apologize?


    What was going on? The two of them stood there, waiting for Qi Shu County to come forward and denounce them. However, they didn''t see her speak for a long time. The mischievous Liu Qi slowly opened one eye and saw that the princess was still sleeping. Her back was facing them, and there was even a trace of a smile on her face. It seemed as if she had just had a beautiful dream. Liu Qi covered her small mouth and laughed. She lightly pulled on Merlin''s sleeves and whispered: "Elder sister! Look! "


    Merlin gently opened her breathtaking phoenix eyes and glanced at the bed in Qi Wanli County before letting out a laugh. This wangfei was really cute. Looking at how she slept, she wore a smile on her face and drooled like a small child.


    "Let''s go!" "Continue!" Merlin quietly said to Liu Qi beside him, and the two of them once again tiptoed to find a tool. This time, they found a rusty gong and a stick the length of a finger''s worth of chopsticks on the mahogany table near the window. Merlin raised his eyebrows, and Liu Qi nodded her head with a happy expression.


    "It''s on fire!"


    "It''s on fire!"


    "..."


    Qi Dian, who had just been sleeping, was awakened by the deafening ringing of gongs and loud shouts. He opened his eyes immediately and asked doubtfully, "Where''s the fire?"


    Merlin and Liu Qi looked at each other and laughed. Seeing the expressions of these two, Qi Shu County immediately understood the reason. So these two people were playing tricks on her? Qi Dian pretended to be angry as he swung his fist, punching the two of them separately. He scolded loudly, "Is that so? All of them are bullying me right? Are your guts big enough? If a tiger does not show off its might, do you think our Qi Lang Country is a sick cat? " After he finished speaking, he punched them until they were begging for mercy.


    "Princess!" Please spare me! This little one doesn''t dare! "


    "Sister! Please spare me! Merlin will not dare to! "


    Seeing them begging for mercy, Qiyan County smiled proudly. She put one arm on her waist and the other hand waved, "Let''s see if you dare to sneak around this wangfei again? You will definitely die a horrible death! " She looked just like a princess.


    As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Qi and Mei Lin kneeled on the ground and clasped their hands: "Yes! "Princess!"


    As soon as he finished this sentence, the three of them burst out laughing.


    The brilliance of the room was clearly seen by a woman''s charming eyes through the small round hole in the window.


    How could their complacency be tolerated by Hong Kou, who had been spying on them for a long time? Hong Kou gasped for breath. He clenched his fists tightly, and her anger was completely revealed through her eyes.


    Not only was her martial arts high, but her methods of winning people over were also first-rate. Not long after she entered the prince''s mansion, not only did she take the princes, stewards, Liu Qi, and the others into her cyst, but she also brought an unknown woman who was also very obedient to her. This won''t do, how can I be a match for this woman alone? I have to do my own thing, and do my own thing. I have to imitate this slut, and I have to find a helper!


    When it came to helpers, the first thing Hong Kou thought of was his sister, Lu Luo. The most important thing was that Lu Luo only loved money. Although she was loyal to the Prince, she didn''t have any ill intentions. Thinking up to here, Hong Kou''s eyes flashed with a ray of hope. His mouth curved into a smile as he walked towards the room with the green leaf.


    "I wonder why big sister is here?" She understood her sister, Lulu. In this world, the only person who could make her sister think and care about him was her own master. Even when she came to her sister''s place, she would always visit the Three Treasures Palace for no reason.


    "Little sister is really intelligent, no wonder so many maids only favor little sister!" Hong Kou replied with a chuckle as he turned around gracefully.


    "Big sister must be joking!" How could Your Highness favor me, Lu Luo, as a servant? "You can''t compare to me, your elder sister. You''re the confidante of the prince in your hands, and also the half mistress of this mansion!" Lu Luo continued to play with Hong Kou, laughing and raising up each other.


    Hong Kou sneered and slowly said, "Half a mistress? This is not what I, Hong Kou, want! " There was a look of dissatisfaction in her eyes and face.


    "Could it be that big sister wants to?" Lulu did not finish her sentence. She opened her eyes wide and covered her mouth, showing an expression as if she understood what was going on.


    Hong Kou smiled confidently: "What little sister thinks is exactly what big sister thinks! However, big sister needs little sister''s help right now. After this is done, the person in charge of this mansion will be you and me, the two sisters. I only want the title of prince and princess, as for the other gold and silver treasures? "At that time, little sister will take whatever she sees!" Hong Kou said as he held onto Lu Luo''s small hand.


    Lu Luo swept her gaze over Hong Kou''s hand. With a grave expression, she pondered the fierce relationship. Although there was danger, it was not without hope. Royal Consort Qi Qi had just arrived at the mansion and her foundation was unstable. She only had the steward and Liu Qi by her side, and most of the other servants still maintained a neutral attitude. If she teamed up with her sister, they would have the confidence to win. There was still at least half a chance of success, but should she take this risk or not? Was it worth it? Should she think about it carefully?


    Hong Kou looked at the hesitating Lu Luo and understood her thoughts. She clenched her little hands tightly, "What are you hesitating for, little sister? Opportunity doesn''t wait for people! "


    "Whatever, opportunities and profits are proportional. Since ancient times, riches and danger have always been taken advantage of. People die for money, birds die for food, fighting for a chance at life is also a good thing." Good! I''ll promise big sister then! " The corners of Lu Luo''s mouth curled up as a trace of unease flashed in her eyes, as if she yearned for power and money.


    Hong Kou''s face was filled with a satisfied smile. This result was not unexpected to him, and it was already within her expectations. Green love money, often this love money people have a restless heart. She only wanted to see how much money she would be willing to pay for her, but other than caring about the position of prince and the wangfei, she didn''t care about anything else. However, with the addition of Lu Luo, Hong Kou felt that he was like a tiger that had grown wings. He was not far from success.


    The two colluded and each took what they needed!


    Over the next few days, Merlin did not take any action. She was waiting for news from Han Yi. After spending a few days with her, she felt more and more that Qi Hui County was a kind girl, a sincere and loyal friend. How could she treat friends like this?


    Looking at the twinkling stars in the night sky, Merlin thought of himself. It was said that when a person died, they would become a star shining in the sky. If that was the case, it would also be a good fate. At the very least, there would be no worries or worries.


    Suddenly, a black figure appeared in front of Merlin. Merlin''s quick actions were quickly stopped by the other party. He took off his headscarf and hissed.


    "Han Yi? Why is it you? " Merlin looked around as he spoke. After noticing that no one was around, he whispered, "Follow me!"


    "..."


    The two of them went to Merlin''s bedroom. As soon as they entered, Merlin looked around vigilantly. Only then did he close the door and light the oil lamp.


    In the dim light, a handsome face appeared in front of Merlin. If he didn''t have the task of becoming the crown prince, if he hadn''t given himself to the crown prince, if he wasn''t in the Regent''s Mansion, what would have happened between her and Han Yi? This daydreaming only lasted for a moment, before Merlin tried his best to restrain it. In the face of impossible situations, she still had to face reality.

 C74

    "Did you find out?" After a long silence, Merlin opened his mouth.


    "Yes!" Han Yi''s eyes were still fixed on the beautiful woman in front of him. However, since she didn''t speak, he didn''t speak, so she asked and answered her own question.


    "What did you find?" Merlin did not want to think about anything other than his work.


    "The Regent''s Consort Qi Wanshi was originally the only daughter of the Qi Family of the Wulin Family!" Han Yi said indifferently, but his eyes were still fixed on Merlin.


    Merlin looked away. "So? The crown prince wants to eliminate the roots! " Qi Yu County was Qi Ying Mo''s only child, so why didn''t the Crown Prince tell him? Yet, he didn''t know at all? She had only heard about the destruction of the Qi family from Han Tong. Although he had been by the crown prince''s side for many years, ever since he had given his body to the crown prince, the crown prince seemed to be guarding against him intentionally or not.


    "Since you are one of the crown prince''s men? "Why don''t you know?" Han Yi asked curiously, causing Merlin to not know how to reply. The previous killers were almost no longer able to kill. Merlin did not know that in the crown prince''s heart, there was still a place for her. He also wanted to take her as his secondary wife, but the palace rules were too difficult. The reason the crown prince didn''t tell her was because he didn''t want her to get involved in these bloody battles. If it weren''t for the fact that his subordinates had disappointed him time and time again, he definitely wouldn''t have allowed Merlin to enter the tiger''s den.


    "Ever since I started following that person, I''ve stopped taking part in a lot of things!" Merlin sighed and said.


    "What are you going to do next?" Han Yi asked indifferently. From his slightly sad eyes, it could be seen that he cared a lot about this woman, but he was afraid that he might accidentally hurt her again.


    Merlin shook his head and said faintly, "I didn''t expect that the Crown Prince would be so cruel and merciless. Not only did he destroy the entire Qi Family, he even didn''t leave this single seedling to the Qi Family?"


    "Don''t you know what kind of person your crown prince is?" Han Yi sneered, and said with a hint of sarcasm.


    Merlin laughed at himself. I should have known that even I, who had served him for a few years, held my family hostage for a single mission? Let alone others? "


    "Where''s Han Tong?" Merlin seemed to have thought of something as he hastily replied.


    "Why are you looking for him?" Han Yi coldly said. In his little brother''s eyes, besides a woman, there was only money. What a joke.


    "I want to see the Crown Prince!" Merlin said anxiously. She wanted to talk to the Crown Prince, she wanted to try and use the child in her womb as a bargaining chip to see if he could let her go. She really didn''t want to get involved in this endless struggle, even though Merlin knew the odds were against him, but she still wanted to give it a try.


    "Maybe you can see him at the Return of Spring Institute in the south of the city!" Han Yi glanced at Merlin and said sarcastically. He thought that this woman would definitely hate the crown prince to death, but he didn''t expect her to be so impatient to see him.


    "I''ll have to trouble you to help me pass the message to him!" Merlin looked at Han Yi with a pleading look, hoping that he wouldn''t refuse.


    Han Yi looked at this woman''s eyes, his heart was sour, and he coldly said, "I will carry your words with me!" After saying that, he glared at Merlin and jumped out of the window.


    It seems like Han Yi misunderstood. I was just trying my best to get out of this situation, but he thought that I was still thinking about that person. She was forced to give herself to that person because of helplessness. The relationship between her and that person was always a master-servant relationship. He had never expected to get anything from him. If he really did have an extravagant wish, then he hoped that that person would let him go and let him be a free man. Merlin didn''t know if he could fulfill his extravagant hope in this life.


    Ever since he met Han Yi, he unconsciously felt a sense of assurance that he hadn''t felt before. He longed for happiness. He longed to be like a normal woman, able to be with the man he loved. He longed for happiness. He and Han Yi were not the same kind of people, and there was never going to be a result. Since there was no result, why would he slander himself and slander others? Rather than a long pain, why not a short pain?


    From her gaze just now, Merlin seemed to feel Han Yi''s feelings towards her. Thinking of this, it was good to let him misunderstand. After all, it was impossible, so why give him hope? Thinking of this, the corners of Merlin''s lips curled up into a faint smile.


    "..."


    In the inner hall, Qi and Shu County crawled in front of the oil lamp, teasingly teasing the wick. It was already late, but Yu Ling Jing was still busy working in the study, and it was unknown when Qi Xi had gotten into the habit of not sleeping with Yu Ling Jing by his side. Unknowingly, she had become more and more reliant on Yu Ling Jing. Qi Wan County didn''t know whether it was good or bad to get used to her. If she really couldn''t leave him that day, and he couldn''t stand the temptation of other women? As he thought about this, he fell asleep.


    When Qi Wanxian woke up, the sky was already bright. She rubbed her sleepy eyes and realized that she was actually lying on the bed? That''s not right, I was clearly lying on the table last night? Why was he in bed? Could it be that he was sleepwalking, or that he hadn''t had a good rest and was too tired? He didn''t even know where he was sleeping? Could it be that Yu Ling Jing came back last night? Thinking about this, Qi Wanxian searched the entire room for traces of Yu Ling Jing, but after searching for a long time, he still couldn''t find her.


    At this time, the door was suddenly pushed open. Qi Wanli looked over and was shocked by what she saw ¡­


    She actually saw Yu Ling Jing walking in slowly with a white towel on the side of the basin and a pot of steaming hot water in his hands. Qi Shu thought she had seen wrongly, so she quickly rubbed her eyes and looked again? That''s right, it''s Yu Ling Jing. What''s wrong with Yu Ling Jing today?


    At the same time, when Yu Ling Jing saw Qi Wanxian looking at him rubbing his eyes, he chuckled, and laughed so brilliantly, so innocently, like a child. Perhaps even Yu Ling Jing himself was surprised that he could have such an innocent smile? Sometimes, this person was just so strange. It was as if he could never become a human but could still change. The most important thing was to see who he was facing. Was it someone he was interested in?


    Yu Ling Jing walked to the table and placed the basin on top. His mouth curved into a smile as he stretched out his arm: "Please wash your face, my wife!"


    Qi Wanli quickly got out of bed and walked to Yu Ling Jing''s side. He looked at the proud and aloof Regent in front of him with a surprised expression. Could this man have a fever? Qi Wan County immediately reached out to touch Yu Ling Jing''s forehead, then immediately touched his forehead. No, no fever?


    Yu Ling Jing smiled as he placed the towel in the hot water and moistened it. He twisted 50% dry and gently wiped his hand across Qi Lun''s silky face. Qi Lun was flattered. Was the regent washing her face in Qi Lun? What kind of treatment was this, what kind of special honor was this? Qi Lang stood there like a wooden chicken, allowing Yu Ling Jing to carefully scrub her.


    "What happened to my wife?" Seeing Qi Wan''s expressionless face, Yu Ling Jing felt that it was very strange. This didn''t seem to be Qi Wan County that he knew, but was it her wife?


    "Ah?" "What?" Qi Wan County hadn''t recovered yet, and he hadn''t heard what Yu Ling Jing had said clearly.


    "What happened to my wife?"


    Nothing much!" Qi Dian said with a wry smile. His expression clearly showed that he had betrayed her.


    "It is already late autumn, and the weather is getting colder and colder! My wife, don''t sleep on a table anymore. " Yu Ling Jing said indifferently, his words full of concern for his wife Qi Wan County.


    "Oh!" As soon as Qi Dian finished speaking, he immediately reacted. How did Yu Ling Jing know I was sleeping on the table? Did he come back last night, or did Yu Ling Jing carry me onto the bed? What''s wrong with me? These honor favors, these happiness came too fast, leaving me at a loss for what to do!


    "That?" Your Highness, don''t you have to attend the assembly today? " Qi Wanxian lamented in his heart that he had finally found a topic, but this early in the morning, he acted like a fool.


    "Did my wife forget that today is the day of rest? Don''t you have to attend the assembly?" Yu Ling Jing asked with a smile, which made Qi Wan County very awkward. Just now, he was lamenting that he found a topic, which made him no longer look like a fool. Who knew that this topic was another joke, and the questions were really stupid.


    "That?" What about Liu Qi? Why did the Prince have to fetch water himself today? " "This topic should be fine," Qi Shu said in her heart.


    "As her husband, isn''t it natural for her to fetch water for her wife to wash her face?" While saying that, Yu Lingjing washed the towel and wrung it out before placing it on the side of the basin. If it was any other woman, she would definitely hug the handsome and considerate man in front of her and kiss him again and again. But Qi Wan was a person of the martial arts world, and what these children of the martial arts world hated the most was saying sweet words and hesitating.


    "That?" Your Royal Highness, can you promise me one thing? " Qi Wan County blinked his eyes and said with a pleading expression.


    "Please speak, my wife!" Yu Lingjing said with a smile.


    "This matter of beating water and washing your face, in the future it''s better to leave it to the servants. I''m really not used to your kindness, your highness!" I hope that you can return to your old self. I''m not too used to you smiling at me like this! " Qi Wan looked at Yu Ling Jing''s gentle eyes, and said with a helpless expression.


    "If that''s the case! This King agrees to my wife''s request! " Yu Ling Jing said indifferently. He had recovered his previous indifference, as if only this kind of Yu Ling Jing was the real Yu Ling Jing!

 C75

    It was another sleepless night. Merlin sat by the window looking out at the dim moonlight, lost in thought.


    At that moment, a man in black clothes jumped in through the window in front of her, startling Merlin. Merlin quickly stood up and stuck his head out of the window. Looking around, he quickly closed the window and walked to the table that was further away from the window.


    "You heard my brother say you want to see me?" The man who jumped in took off his mask and walked over to Merlin. He smiled obscenely at Merlin and said, "Could it be that you can''t endure the loneliness? Do you miss me? " This man was Han Tong, the killer next to Crown Prince Yu Hanfeng. As Han Tong said this, he stretched out his big, dirty hand and caressed Merlin''s fair and delicate face.


    This Han Tong always felt that he had a handsome and charming face that was very feminine. He didn''t know that he was just an assassin who worked for someone else. Furthermore, as an assassin, he was not a competent one. He had failed nine times out of ten missions. If his brother Han Yi had not helped him, he would have been killed by the crown prince who knew how many times. This man''s biggest problem was that he was overconfident and conceited, just like his master, the Crown Prince. He had a face that made people loathe him.


    Just as his big hand was about to touch Merlin''s face, Merlin quickly turned his face and dodged Han Tong''s dirty hand. He glanced at Han Tong and said coldly, "I want to see the Crown Prince!" Merlin did not even want to look at this Han Tong. One look at him was enough to make him feel disgusted, as this was the biggest insult to his own eyesight.


    However, Han Tong untactfully brought his self-proclaimed handsome face in front of Merlin. "Merlin!" The Crown Prince won''t see you? "


    "Impossible. I''m still carrying his child?" Merlin did not believe that the Crown Prince would be so heartless as to refuse even to see her. After all, he was still carrying his own flesh and blood in his belly.


    Han Tong glanced at Merlin''s stomach, circled around him, and sneered, "Even so! The Crown Prince won''t see you either? Compared to his mission and his throne, what are you and your child? "


    Han Tong''s words were like a blow to Merlin''s head, causing him to wake up from his dream. Merlin laughed at himself: "You are right! Let alone a child, what could ten children do? Compared to the task of the crown prince and his throne, he will still be willing to part with it without hesitation! "


    Merlin had been with the crown prince for more than ten years and had served him for three years. She knew her master very well. Anyone who blocked the Crown Prince from ascending the throne would be the enemies of the Crown Prince, and he would be merciless enough to part with them, including his women and children. The funny thing was, how could he be so naive? He had even imagined using the child in his womb to make the Crown Prince let him go and let his family go? Thinking about it, it was simply a fantasy story, a fantasy story.


    Looking at Merlin''s dazed expression, Han Tong could not help but feel sympathy for him. Although he, Han Tong, was a bastard, and would not use his own women and children as gambling stakes, nor would he ruthlessly throw them away in front of benefits. On this point, he truly admired his master. Han Tong suddenly changed the topic and slowly said, "Actually, the Crown Prince still has you in his heart! He wants me to cooperate and protect you? "


    Merlin laughed coldly as tears flowed down her cheeks. He pointed to the direction where the Crown Prince was standing and then pointed to himself, "Did he have me in his heart? Would he force me to complete the mission for him and use my family as hostages? " Merlin was now regretting how he had blindly followed this heartless beast. If he had known that things would turn out this way, he might as well have died to avoid so much trouble. Thinking of these past events, Merlin felt as if his heart had been slashed by thousands of knives. He was so numb that he almost didn''t know who he was.


    "That?" The Crown Prince said that as long as you complete this mission and perform meritorious deed! He will find a way to take you in as his secondary wife! " He hoped that Merlin would feel better when he said this, but the Crown Prince did have this intention. Prince Merlin truly liked her, and he had been extremely troubled by the idea of taking her as his side wife. However, he was still the crown prince and not the emperor, right? There were so many things he couldn''t do anything about.


    "So? The crown prince wants me to go for broke, is he trying to block my way out by forcing me to complete the mission! Only by completing the mission can I save myself and my family. Otherwise, they wouldn''t even see me if they died right? " Merlin said with a self-deprecating look. Then, he looked at Han Tong''s face. Han Tong did not say anything, but Merlin understood everything from his expression.


    "This is the Silver Ring Poison that the Crown Prince has recently developed. As long as you put it in the food of Qi Wan County, you will die within two hours!" As Han Tong said this, he took out a bottle of blue poison from his waist and shoved it into Merlin''s hands. "Take care!" Opening the window, he leapt into the night sky and disappeared.


    Merlin no longer held any hope for the crown prince. In the eyes of this sinister and ruthless man, there was only himself and his throne. Thinking of this, Merlin''s eyes suddenly shot out a sharp and cold ray of light. The corners of his mouth widened into an evil grin as he stared at the bottle of poison in his hands.


    Merlin stayed up all night.


    The next day Merlin was up before dawn. After she was done washing up, she placed the bottle of Silver Ring Poison she had prepared into her sleeve, waiting for the opportunity to throw it in.


    It was a fine day, and the sun shone through the windows, gilding the quiet and harmonious room. Qi Wan County slowly opened her eyes. Today, she had once again fallen asleep. It had to be said that the life of the Regent''s Consort was quite cozy and comfortable. Not only were there delicacies and delicacies, she could also throw away everything and sleep until she woke up naturally. Unknowingly, Qi Wanxian seemed to have fallen in love with this comfortable life of a princess, as if she had forgotten that she was once a woman of the Jianghu. Lazily, one step at a time, they eroded Qi and Wan County, as if this was a life of a wangfei and a life of a wangfei, and this was the life of a real wangfei.


    After breakfast, Qi Wanshi brought Liu Qi and Merlin to the garden for a walk. They walked to a small chair by the marble table outside the flower garden and sat down. Because his mood was so good, even Qi Wan County, which usually didn''t like flowers, couldn''t help but take a look at this garden filled with beautiful autumn flowers!


    Looking at the dozens of beautiful and tender flowers, including chrysanthemums, osmanthus flowers, hibiscus flowers, camellias, and other flowers, Qi Lun''s eyes finally fixed on the five petals, flower shaped more delicate and colorful flowers, and the corner of her mouth unconsciously revealed a slight smile.


    To the side, Merlin looked at the colorful flowers in a daze, pretending to be confused as he asked: "Elder sister! What flower is this? "So beautiful!"


    The corner of Qi Wan''s mouth curved as she indifferently said: "Flowers in the four seasons, a batch of incense per month. The cold and summer weather will not change, as if it will always stay the same! "


    "Ah?" Sister! I don''t understand! Can you explain it more clearly? " Merlin said with a troubled expression,


    Qi Wan County looked at her with a face full of laughter and explained, "This flower''s name is'' Rose '', also known as'' Four Seasons Flower '', and it''s also known as'' Queen of Flowers'' because it blooms all year round!"


    "Oh!" Hearing her sister''s words, Merlin started to understand! " Merlin pretended to be enlightened as he exclaimed, "Sister is so knowledgeable!"


    Before Qi Wan County could say anything, Liu Qi, who had a quick mouth, snatched the words away, "Of course! My wangfei is a female Elementary Scholar who has both the arts and the arts? No, it should be a female top scholar! "


    Seeing Liu Qi''s proud expression, Qi Lang smiled and shook his head. While admiring the flowers, he said slowly, "Flowers fall and blossom continuously. Spring doesn''t matter. Peony is the most expensive only spring evening, peony age only early summer. "Only this flower is not tired of blooming. It takes up four hours of spring a year."


    "Awesome!" "Awesome!" Liu Qi clapped her hands as she called out, looking as adorable as a child.


    "Such a scene! "If there is some dessert and a cup of green tea, it would be even more beautiful!" Qi Wan County indifferently said, and didn''t have any other meaning. As the saying goes, ''unintentional, unintentional''.


    "Princess, Sister Mei, please wait a moment. Liu Qi will go to the kitchen to prepare some dessert!"


    Looking at Liu Qi''s disappearing figure, Mei Lin''s eyes flashed with a strange light. He immediately laughed and said, "Big sister is right. Merlin will go! "


    "There''s no need to trouble yourself. I''m just saying that!" Qi Wanli looked at Merlin and said with a smile. It was good to have tea with him, but if he had to trouble little sister Merlin to come this time, he would be very reluctant. After all, was little sister Merlin still pregnant?


    "Elder sister treats me like a sister, it''s only right for me to pour you a cup of tea! Sister wait a moment, Merlin will be right back! " After saying that, Merlin bowed to Angele and left.


    Qi Wanshi looked at Merlin who was dressed in a light pink outfit, floating away gracefully, as if he was a fairy that had left the mortal world? Qi Wanli couldn''t help but sigh in his heart. Why was such a gentle, considerate, and beautiful woman, yet the heavens were unfair to her? Why couldn''t the heavens give her a good home to return to? Didn''t they say that people got good rewards? Why didn''t they have a good answer for Merlin''s sister? "Isn''t it fair when God made men? Is it fair when God made men?


    No matter what had happened to Merlin''s sister, what had happened to her? Let it pass. After Merlin''s sister has given birth to her child, he would be willing to beg the king to find a better husband for her. He hoped that she would be able to live a happy life in the future.

 C76

    In the kitchen, Liu Qi happily placed the osmanthus cake, green bean cake, tea cake, and other exquisite snacks onto several plates to create a beautiful shape. Then, she placed them one by one onto the tray, preparing to leave, but just as she stepped out of the doorway, she bumped into Merlin.


    "Sister Mei? "Why are you here?" Liu Qi looked at Merlin in surprise and asked.


    Merlin smiled: "I''ll bring you some tea!"


    "Or was it sister who thought it through? Otherwise, I will have to run twice! " Hearing that her elder sister had come to help her carry some tea, Liu Qi''s small face was immediately filled with gratitude.


    "Sister Liu Qi, don''t you call me sister Merlin? Isn''t it natural for this sister to help her?" Go! Don''t let the wangfei wait too long! " Merlin said gently while patting Liu Qi on the shoulder.


    "Alright then!" I''ll be leaving first, Sister! "


    Merlin looked at the back of Liu Qi who was getting further and further away. His eyes shot out a cold and sharp ray of light. After sweeping his gaze around the kitchen and discovering that there was no one around, Merlin quickly entered the kitchen.


    As soon as he entered the kitchen, Merlin immediately saw the teapot that Liu Qi had prepared. He opened the lid and found that the tea leaves had also been set down. A strange smile appeared on Merlin''s face. He picked up the gourd from the pot, poured the boiling water into the teapot and sealed it. Then he took out three cups, light green, light pink and white, from the wooden cabinet where the teapot was placed and placed them on a tray.


    After finishing all this, Merlin took out the bottle of Silver Ring Poison he had prepared earlier. He opened the bottle and poured it into the silk handkerchief he had pulled from his waist. He then carried the tea out of the kitchen with a satisfied expression.


    Arriving at the back garden, he saw Qi Wan County and Liu Qi talking and laughing, and thought about how Qi Wan County had treated him well in the past. Merlin''s heart seemed to waver a little. However, when he thought about the fact that his parents and brother were still in the hands of the crown prince, he let out a long sigh and walked to the front of the two of them with a calm expression and put down the teapot in his hands.


    "I wonder which one big sister would like to use, these three beautiful cups?" Merlin smiled and asked softly.


    "Of course it''s pink. Is this a cup specially made by the prince for the princess?" Before Qi Ning could say anything, she was snatched away by Liu Qi.


    Qi Wanshi pretended to be angry as he glanced at her. "You talk too much!" However, her heart was filled with joy. Liu Qi was right, this pink cup was really Qi Wanli''s favorite, and it was also what her senior sister Qing Mo Xue had purposely revealed to Yu Ling Jing. Every time she thought of this, her heart was as sweet as if she had eaten honey. The so-called happiness was only this much.


    Merlin glanced at Qi Shu. From the subtle changes in her expression, Merlin could tell that Liu Qi wasn''t lying. Qi Ling really did like pink cups.


    Thus, Merlin picked up the teapot and poured the tea into the teapot before placing it in front of each of them. Qi Wanxian picked up a cinnamon cake and put it in his mouth. It was sweet and delicious, with an endless aftertaste. After eating the cinnamon cake, Qi Shuren picked up the pink cup of tea that was placed in front of her. Just as she was about to take a sip of tea, she suddenly placed the cup in front of her mouth.


    "Aiya! How depressing! Let me help you change a glass of wine, sister! " Merlin, who had been watching Qi Lang, said as he took the cup from Qi Wan.


    After receiving the teacup, a cold ray of light shot out from within Merlin''s clear black and white phoenix eyes, quickly splashing the dirty tea onto the ground. "Grabbing her own silk handkerchief, she carefully wiped the cup clean before pouring another cup of tea for Qi Wan." Elder sister, please come in! "


    Qi Wanjun faintly smiled and received the cup. "Thank you, sister!"


    "Elder sister is being too polite!" Merlin said, but his eyes were still fixed on the pink cup that Qi Wan County was holding, watching her drink the tea one by one.


    Liu Qi, who was at the side, was eating delicious snacks and drinking fragrant tea, seemingly unaware of all that had happened. When Liu Qi managed to react, Qi Shun was already lying on the ground. Looking at her uncle-master who was still fine a moment ago, her face turned dark and her lips turned black. She lay on the ground in unbearable pain. Liu Qi panicked, not knowing what to do? It was Merlin''s words that reminded her: "Invite the prince!"


    "Oh!" Liu Qi replied as she ran off.


    Merlin helped him up from the ground. His eyes were half-closed, and his pained look had already caused sweat to crawl all over her forehead. Using her last bit of consciousness, she forced herself to stay awake, then stretched out her arm and shook it in the air. Why... To... Do this... I... I know... You... Not... To... "You truly hurt me ¡­"


    Merlin grabbed Qi Shu County''s arm that was originally playing around with him. Seeing Qi Wan County''s painful and miserable appearance, Merlin''s heart was filled with regret. She wished that the one lying on the ground now was herself. Her heart was like a thousand arrows piercing her heart, tears blurred her eyes: "Me? I don''t want to, but? If I don''t kill you, the Crown Prince will kill my family! I have no choice! "


    "So ¡­" It was Yu... Cold Wind... He is... "What?!" Qi Wanli subconsciously told himself that he must persevere and persevere on Yu Lingjing. Otherwise, with Yu Lingjing''s temper, Merlin would be dead for sure.


    "Because he wants to root you out, he already knows that you are a descendant of the Qi family!" As Merlin spoke, he began to cry loudly while hugging Qi Lang County.


    In the dim light of Qi Lan County, he seemed to see his parents, as well as everyone from the Qi family beckoning her over with a smile. This seemed to be the last reflection of light before death. Qi Wanjun only felt that he had let down his parents and over 500 people of the Qi Family. Before he could take revenge, he was already killed by his enemies. However, he was unwilling. Yu Ling Jing? Why wasn''t Yu Ling Jing here yet? I, I can''t hold on any longer ¡­


    "My wife!" Wake up my wife! " Yu Ling Jing shook his head vigorously as he screamed hysterically, as if trying to wake the stars in the sky.


    "My wife!" Wake up, my wife! "


    "..."


    Qi Wanshi finally opened his tired eyes. Because the poison was too strong, he could only half-open his eyes. She only felt that she was very sleepy and wanted to sleep, but the man in front of her shook her so much that she didn''t want to sleep. Her consciousness was slowly gathering together. "No, I can''t die. I still have things to do, so how can I die?"


    "Wang... "Prince ¡­" Qi Wanxian''s hand was moving in the air as if he was looking for something.


    Yu Ling Jing understood what she meant, and grabbed Qi Wanxian''s small hand. With a pained expression, he said, "My wife! I''m here! "


    The corner of Qi Xi''s mouth slightly curved, his half-closed eyes forming a line: "Don''t ¡­" Monster Plum ¡­ Merlin... She ¡­ Body... "I can''t help myself ¡­"


    To the side, Merlin was already crying his heart out. His legs were powerless as he knelt in front of Qi Lan County: "Big sister Qi! Me? I''m sorry! "


    "Give me the antidote!" Yu Lingjing looked at Merlin kneeling on the ground and said coldly. Those bloodthirsty eyes of his wished that he could cut Merlin into a thousand pieces. If it wasn''t for his wife pleading on her behalf, he dared to guarantee that he wouldn''t let her live past an hour.


    "Me? I have no antidote! The Crown Prince didn''t give me the antidote! Believe me, I really don''t have an antidote! "


    "I... Believe... "You ¡­" Qi Lun said dispiritedly.


    "Elder sister Qi!" Merlin cried out in pain. Why was Big Sister Qi still protecting her and only she still trusting her, but what did she do? She actually poisoned big sister Qi? He really wasn''t human.


    "My wife!" Hold on! This king will send you to Qingyan''s place! "


    "Medical Saint Ruan Qingyan?" When Merlin heard Yu Ling Jing''s words, he seemed to see hope. Joy flashed across his face and he quickly said, "There''s still hope for her within two hours!"


    "Someone, come!" Yu Ling Jing shouted loudly.


    Immediately, two guards came forward and kneeled in front of Yu Lingjing, clasping their hands in salute, "Your Highness!"


    "Put her in prison for This King. No one is allowed to see her without This King''s permission!"


    "Yes!" "Your Highness!" The guard said as he escorted Merlin away.


    "Butler!" Prepare the car! I will personally send my wife to the Medical Saint''s place! " Yu Lingjing slowly spoke after trying his best to suppress the anger in his heart. Who knew how uncomfortable he was feeling at this moment? All five senses were assaulting him. Did he really want to erupt like a volcano? But he told himself that he had to be rational, he had to hold back. Maybe someone was hiding in a corner, waiting to see him make a joke of Yu Ling Jing? It seemed that he had been careless. Someone had sent a spy to his Residence of Regent. If this got out, wouldn''t it make him laugh his teeth out?


    The woman in red who was hiding not too far away saw this wonderful scene. Seeing that the woman had been poisoned, Hong Kou was indeed very excited. He hadn''t even made a move, yet someone had already acted on his behalf? This was truly satisfying and extremely joyous! She only prayed to the heavens to take away that bewitching slut, and to save her, the Red Bandits, from all troubles. Thinking about that, Hong Kou''s lips raised into a faint smile.


    After the carriage traveled for almost two hours, it finally arrived at a small and elegant house. Due to the fall, the original emerald green bamboo had turned yellow and was curled up in rolls. Unavoidably, it was somewhat desolate.


    "Qing Yan! "Crush!" Yu Ling Jing shouted as he ran.


    Inside the house, a delicate and pretty girl in plain clothes, without makeup, was in the middle of making poisons. Hearing the shouts of the people outside, she quickly put down the medicine jar in her hands.

 C77

    "What happened to her?" Ruan Qingyan coldly asked, feeling her anger from her tone.


    Yu Lingjing placed Qi Wan County on the bed in the main hall, like a child who had done something wrong, and said dispiritedly: "It''s been poisoned!"


    While Ruan Qing Yan was taking the pulse of Qi Dian, she glanced at Yu Ling Jing and said angrily: "I really don''t know what kind of food the Regent''s Manor people make?"


    Yu Lingjing knew that Ruan Qingyan was worried about her wife, and that she could be poisoned in his Residence of Regent, that''s why he said that. He did not care about what she said, nor did he care about what she said. As long as she could cure his wife, he wouldn''t have any complaints, let alone scold her, even if she beat him or killed him.


    If it was someone else who dared to be so presumptuous in front of him, Yu Ling Jing could guarantee that he would have already been turned into a corpse. However, what Qing Yan said was right. The Crown Prince was able to arrange for the spies to go to his Regent''s Mansion. Yu Lingjing suddenly recalled the conversation he had with the crown prince at the entrance of the imperial court that day. "Imperial Uncle, I''d like to see how long you can protect that fish from the net." "Hahaha!" That is to say that the Crown Prince was prepared to do something to his wife at that time?


    "Fortunately, it was delivered in time. If I had arrived half an incense''s time later, I would not have been able to save myself even if the deities came!" Ruan Qingyan said indifferently.


    "Does that mean I can still be saved?" Yu Lingjing excitedly grabbed onto Ruan Qingyan''s arm. Ruan Qingyan gave him a fierce glance and he quickly retracted his hand that was grabbing onto Ruan Qingyan''s arm. Could it be that he had lost his composure because of Ruan Qingyan''s words?


    "Nonsense!" Do you think that my Medical Saint is someone who eats dry food? " As she spoke coldly, she looked for a light blue bottle on the medicine shelf where she kept the bottles, and poured out a red pill. She turned around, walked to Qi Shun County''s side and opened up her blackened mouth, stuffing the pill in.


    "I wonder what poison my wife is infected with?"


    "This poison is called the ''Silver Ring Poison''. It was extracted from a snake called the ''Silver Ring Snake''. The poison itself is extremely poisonous!" But if he could get the antidote within two hours, that would be alright? If it takes more than two hours, even if you manage to obtain the Enlightenment Pill, it would be to no avail! " Ruan Qingyan said indifferently. To an ordinary person, she might not be strong enough to cure the Many-Banded Krait, but to her, the poison was nothing?


    Even though he was young, he had followed his master around the world, roaming the world. He had seen all sorts of strange and rare poisons. There was no cure for the illness that she had seen, and there was no cure for the poison that she had seen. She, Ruan Qingyan, was able to create a poison that was even more powerful than the Silver Ring Poison.


    "Hm!" Understood! "Then when will my wife wake up?" Yu Lingjing understood that his wife had been poisoned. At that moment, he was more concerned about when she would wake up.


    "It should be soon! The antidote would only be effective for an hour! You stay here with her, I''ll go to the back of the mountain to gather some herbs! After she wakes up, all of you can leave at any time! " As she spoke, she picked up the bamboo basket that was placed beside the medicine rack and carried it on her back. Then, she left without looking back.


    He did not know that, at the instant that Ruan Qingyan turned around, her tears had already begun flowing out of her eyes. It wasn''t that she didn''t want Qi Lun and the others to stay here, but every time she saw their intimate relationship, she would think of her master. When she thought of her master, the scar in her heart would be reopened? It was an eternal pain in her heart, and she didn''t want to think about it. The only thing she could do was to evade.


    An hour passed, and Qi Shu''s consciousness slowly gathered itself. She felt as if she had died? It didn''t seem to be dead? She remembered that Merlin had poisoned her. In her blurry state of mind, she saw her parents and the Qi family waving to her, and she thought it might be a sign that she was about to die. But it was like someone in a dream had lifted her into a carriage and brought her somewhere she didn''t know.


    She was not in the underworld. Although she had never been to the underworld, she had heard people say when she was young that the underworld was filled with dark energy, filled with darkness. There was the fiendish Hades, the ugly Black and White Impermanence, and countless wailing ghosts? But not here. This place gave people a very comfortable feeling, and also a familiar feeling? As if it was medicine, Qi Dian raised his nose and took a deep sniff. It was indeed medicine, and the smell was very strong.


    Where was this place? Am I not dead? I''m still alive? Slowly, uncertainly, Qi Wanxian turned her head. At this time, she saw a handsome, cold, and familiar face. This was the face of her husband, the Regent of Qi Lan Prefecture, as well as the Regent of the Dynasty, Yu Lingjing. The moment he saw Yu Ling Jing, Qi Shu''s mouth curved into a smile, and his eyes were filled with tears.


    "My wife!" You''re awake! " Seeing that his wife had woken up safe and sound, Yu Lingjing relaxed a little and revealed a smile that she hadn''t worn for a long time. He slowly walked to the side of the bed and sat down. Who knew that the moment he sat down, Qi Wanxian would quickly sit up and tightly hug him.


    "I thought I was going to die just like that! I thought that I would never be able to see you again in this lifetime! " While Qi Wanli was speaking, he held Yu Ling Jing even more tightly.


    "My wife!" It''s fine now! It''s all in the past now! " He stretched out his arms and hugged his wife even tighter, as if he would run away the moment his wife was released.


    Qi Wanxian only now knew how blissful it was to hold the man he loved. Without Merlin''s poison and the feeling of having walked through hell, she would never know how important this man was to her and how much she cared about him. On the verge of death, her heart was not thinking about others but Yu Lingjing. So she not only did not blame Merlin, but thanked her in her heart.


    "Shall we go home?" Qi Wanjun had a spoiled expression as she spoke. She was talking about going home and not going back to the prince''s mansion. It could be seen that she had already treated the palace as her real home.


    "Good!" "Go home!" Yu Lingjing''s face was filled with a happy smile. He was really happy that his wife had finally treated his regent''s mansion as a writer. The moment she hugged him, he realized that she still cared for him a lot.


    By the time Ning returned to his manor, it was already evening. The setting sun reluctantly withdrew its last bit of afterglow and slowly hid in the black night sky.


    In the great hall, the steward, Liu Qi, as well as the maids and servants were extremely happy when they saw that the Royal Concubine Qi had returned safely. Everyone in the mansion was brimming with joy.


    A red figure flashed by, her charming face replaced by a ferocious expression. Was that woman really lucky? You can''t die even like this? Looks like I''ll have to think about it a bit more.


    After dinner, Qi Wanxian was escorted by Yu Lingjing to prison. It had to be said that the setup of the King''s Manor''s dungeon was quite ingenious. Rather than calling it a prison, it was more like a dungeon.


    Its entrance was located at the bottom of a flight of stairs below the fake mountain in the palace garden. It went down one step at a time, and after going up no more than two hundred steps, it would be equivalent to five small teahouses on the second floor. Every level twenty steps were guarded by twenty soldiers. Adding to the more than two hundred guards in the dungeon, there were four hundred guards. This kind of dungeon probably wouldn''t even allow a fly in.


    Above the dungeon was the shallow lake in the garden. How big is a shallow lake? How big is the dungeon underneath it? In other words, the shallow lake was just a trick to confuse outsiders to protect the dungeon! Just who had designed this exquisite dungeon? Of course, Qi Wan County would know about it later, and this was what would happen in the future.


    When they arrived at the dungeon, they saw a woman in plain clothes with disheveled hair sitting on the back of an iron rod at the edge of the dungeon that was as thick as an arm sitting in a corner of the prison.


    The guard took the key and slowly opened the three locked cell door. Hearing the lock opening sound, the plainclothes woman slowly turned around and stood up, and shouted with a face full of surprise: "Elder sister Qi! Are you okay? " Seeing the joy on her face that came from the bottom of her heart, Qi Wanxian''s heart was comforted. She had guessed correctly, she had not seen wrongly. Merlin really did not do it on purpose, and deep down in her heart, she did not want to hurt herself.


    Qi Wan County walked in with a smile on his face and held onto Merlin''s hand as he slowly said: "Your sister, me? Luck! It will be fine! "


    "Seeing big sister Qi in this state, Merlin felt relieved. Even if he were to die right now, she would be willing to do so." Sister! "I''m sorry!" Merlin kneeled in front of Qi Shu County and said with a face full of self-blame, tears welling up in her eyes.


    Yu Ling Jing looked like an outsider and was only here to watch the show, but he believed that his wife would definitely take care of this matter.


    "Get up!" This is none of your business. This is all part of the Cold Wind conspiracy, and you are the victim! "However ¡­" As he said this, Qi Wan County paused with a troubled expression on his face.


    Merlin saw her dilemma and said with a smile, "Sister being alive is the greatest gift to Merlin! "Sis, if you have something to say, just say it. Merlin can accept anything!"


    Qi Wan County saw the unordinary determination on Merlin''s face, so she slowly said: "Before we all fell to the Crown Prince, I''ve already troubled little sister to stay in this dungeon for a while, if you go out, the Crown Prince will not let you go!"


    "Elder sister said it was over there! "Not to mention for a period of time, even if sister allowed Merlin to live in this dungeon for the rest of his life, he would still have no complaints!"

 C78

    Hearing Merlin''s words from the bottom of his heart, Qi Wanxian said with a sincere face, "Don''t worry, sister! Your family members ¡­ I will think of a way to save them from you! "


    Merlin was moved to kneel on the ground again, "Merlin will never forget big sister''s great kindness! If there is a chance in this life, I will definitely do my best to help big sister! "


    Qi Wanjun supported Merlin, who was kneeling on the ground, with a smile on his face.


    "..."


    "Please take a step back, sister!" Merlin nodded in understanding and took two steps back.


    Qi Ning immediately took out the flexible sword from her waist, and her sharp eyes shot towards Merlin. The sharp flexible sword hacked towards Merlin, and just as a strand of hair was about to hit the ground, it was caught by Qi Ning. She smiled mischievously: "You have scared my sister! However, this matter still requires me to borrow a strand of my sister''s hair and a treasure from her! " Qi Wanshi looked at the helpless and pitiful Merlin as he spoke gently.


    "En!" Merlin smiled as he nodded his head. At the same time, he pulled out an exquisite jade key made from top-class and Tian Yu''s jade key. He slowly picked up Qi Shu''s small hand and placed it on top of the key. This is the jade key that the crown prince made for me back in the day. I once promised him that as long as I am alive, I will always wear it! "


    Merlin''s other meaning was that if he handed the key to his sister, it meant that she was already dead. There was a hint of sadness in her words, and from her eyes, he could see the helplessness of the past. But unfortunately, she followed the wrong person.


    Qi Wan County took the jade key and nodded, then tightly held it in his hand. However, he used a sharp gaze to look at Yu Lingjing. The corner of his mouth slanted as he smiled slyly, "Your humble concubine still needs to trouble Your Highness with one thing!"


    Seeing his wife''s expression, Yu Lingjing knew that she must have a plan in mind. He said calmly, "Please speak, my wife!"


    "Sorry for troubling you, Your Highness, to post a report and issue a public announcement ¡­" The corner of Qi Lang''s mouth curved as he thoughtfully spoke. However, a cold light shot out from the corner of his eyes, making people''s hair stand on end when they saw it.


    The next morning, there were reports pasted all over the streets and alleyways. People were all talking about it.


    In a small teahouse on a street south of the city, a man wearing a white robe flashed by. The cold aura exuded from his body made it hard for people to avoid him.


    A few idlers were sitting in the middle of the first floor of the teahouse, drinking tea and discussing the notice issued by the Regent''s Manor today.


    "Eh? Have you heard? The valiant and invincible War God, the Lord Regent of the Southern Prefecture of the Hao Yue Empire, actually had a spy? " A man in a grey robe asked as he took a sip of tea. He placed the cup on the table and placed one leg on the chair he was sitting on. The others nodded in agreement.


    She is courting death!" Who is our Regent? The entire Hao Yue Empire was even more beautiful than Pan An. It was as if they were exiled from the heavens, and their martial arts were peerless. They were a cold and aloof king! Was he someone who had been through the battlefield for a long time and had climbed out from the countless piles of corpses? Even the current emperor was a bit fearful of him, yet he actually dared to lay his hands on such a reckless spy? That was no different from playing with a big knife in front of the King of Hell and a spear in front of Guan Gong. "Hee hee ¡­" "The speaker was a super fan of the regent, Yu Lingjing, who was dressed in blue.


    A handsome man in a white robe sat at a table to the side, drinking tea slowly. He listened to the discussions of these people with a calm expression, making it hard to tell if he was happy or worried. However, the cold air that was being emitted from the entire body of such a person made one retreat three steps and not dare to approach him. Especially the three foot long bronze sword on his left, just looking at the blade itself was enough to tell that it was extremely valuable, and for someone to be able to use such a priceless treasure sword, he was most likely not an ordinary person.


    "I heard that that person died too miserably. It seems like he was executed with great difficulty? Stain... It''s simply too horrible to look at, it''s completely unrecognizable! " A man wearing brown clothes and a hat of the same color said with a sneer on his face. It was as if he had seen it with his own eyes.


    "That''s not right!" I heard that the spy was poisoned. That spy was supposed to poison the Regent''s Consort, but the Regent''s Consort found out in the end. Seeing that he had nowhere else to go, the spy took the poison and committed suicide! " It was a man dressed like a scholar, speaking clearly and clearly.


    "I heard that the spy was an extremely beautiful woman. She was so beautiful that she could topple nations. Sigh ¡­" "What a pity ¡­" The man in light blue clothes shook his head as he spoke, his tone seemingly sympathetic towards the spy.


    "I see you?" You haven''t seen a woman, have you? He actually pitied such a heartless woman? You probably don''t even know how you died? " A man with white hair and beard, who was sitting next to a light blue shirt, said while laughing.


    "Haven''t you heard of the peony flower dying? Do you even know how to be a ghost? " When Lan Yi said this, the people beside her all burst out into laughter.


    Due to the interest of these idle people, the small teahouse''s business became even more popular. It was bustling like a market.


    The white-robed man sitting next to another table held the hairpin that Merlin had left behind tightly in his hand. A bloodthirsty light shot out from his cold eyes, giving off the feeling that he could explode at any moment. This cold and handsome man, was Han Yi.


    "..."


    This matter of the spy from the Residence of Regent quickly spread throughout the entire capital. It gave the capital, which had been on the verge of reacting, a new life, and it became the laughingstock of the people of the capital.


    In front of a noble and elegant mansion, a guard hurriedly entered. He walked to a leisurely man sitting in a chair in the lobby, and knelt down as he played with a walnut-sized metal ball.


    His head was almost touching the floor, and he didn''t know what to expect next. Because he brought bad news.


    "Reporting ¡­" Reporting to the Crown Prince! No... This is bad! " The guard''s head was stuck to the ground as he spoke with a terrified expression.


    The Crown Prince, who had been resting with his eyes closed, immediately opened them and spat out a word, "Speak!"


    ''Merlin... It broke! "


    "It broke? It broke! " Yu Hanfeng''s eyes widened as he stood there dumbly. The two metal balls that he was playing with just a moment ago slowly fell from his hands and rolled to an invisible corner.


    "This is something that your subordinate painstakingly bought from the guards." The guard handed over a lock of women''s hair and a jade key.


    Looking at this key, the Crown Prince recalled the scene of him and Merlin together.


    It was the time for spring grass to sprout. In the back garden of the crown prince''s residence, he asked, "Your Highness, will you always be so good to Merlin?" Merlin glanced at the key in the crown prince''s hands and asked happily.


    The Crown Prince looked at the beautiful girl in front of him and hugged her, kissing her, "Of course! Merlin is my treasure! "


    "Alright then!" "I will take this Jade Key Merlin. As long as I am alive, Merlin will wear it all the time!" Merlin said mischievously as he snatched the key and put it on his neck, all the way to ¡­


    The Crown Prince''s hands trembled as he took the lock of hair and the key that Merlin had left behind. His Merlin, his treasure, was gone just like that? Was she pregnant with her own child? These few days, he had been thinking about how to celebrate her return, how to accept her as his side wife? At this moment, someone actually told him that she had broken the contract? How could he accept it? The ferocious expression on the crown prince''s face was as lifeless as a zombie. He looked towards the sky and shouted, "Plum ~ ~ Forest ~"


    It was a sad, sad cry through the clouds, as if it were the voice of a poor, sad man.


    The Residence of Regent regained its former calm, but after the incident of the princess poisoning, Yu Lingjing understood even more clearly that it was impossible to overturn the opposition between him and the crown prince. It must be that if you die, then I die, and his struggle with the crown prince would only grow fiercer. From when he was previously outside the capital to when he arrived at the imperial court, and now he was at home? It seemed that he had really underestimated this vicious and merciless nephew of his. In order to achieve his goals, he hadn''t even spared a single one of his woman and children.


    In the past few days, the Prince''s Mansion needed to readjust their guards. The steward had only sent his lightning and wind to protect the Prince in secret, so he didn''t know that the Crown Prince''s target was actually Princess Hua-Yang. He thought that Merlin might just be trying to get the money from the King''s Manor, or he might have some ulterior motives towards the manor. He did not expect that her target would be the assassination of the imperial concubine, Qi Shu County, and even more so, Merlin was a spy for the Crown Prince. And as the butler of the palace, he couldn''t even find out the identity of this woman. He felt ashamed in his heart.


    The butler passed through the secret compartment of his room and arrived in front of Yu Ling Jing, saying with a ashamed face: "It''s all this old man''s negligence. I beg Your Highness to atone for my sins!"


    Yu Ling Jing said slowly: "That''s none of your business! This King was too careless! "


    He knew that his master had put all of her energy into him, including the four Dark Guards, Wind, Rain, Thunder, and Thunder. Since his master had not said it, Yu Lingjing would not ask, pretending that he knew nothing. The relationship between him and his master, father, son, teacher, and friend, was also very close and distant. In short, it was very subtle. No one wanted to say anything, so the other party did not ask any further. It was as if they had reached a tacit understanding.


    "What about the spy?" The steward asked with concern. He was curious in his heart as to how the Prince would deal with this spy.


    "I''ll follow wangfei''s instructions. I''ll imprison the crown prince until he falls!"


    "Then what if we can never defeat the Crown Prince?" The steward wanted to ask if the prince had any intentions of killing her. If he did, then he could do it for the prince if it was inconvenient for him to do so. He was just a steward, and killing that servant had nothing to do with the prince.

 C79

    Of course, Yu Lingjing knew that his master wanted to solve the problem for him, but since he had promised his wife, he had to do it. Thinking of this, Yu Lingjing''s long and narrow eyes flashed with a gentle light. He said lightly, "If you can''t defeat the crown prince, then you''ll imprison her for life!"


    The butler understood the prince''s meaning! He did not want to kill the spy. Since that was the case, then let him be. Imprisoning him was also good.


    At the foot of the imperial court, before the emperor had even ascended to the throne, a crowd of officials was already gathered around Yu Lingjing, discussing her: "I''ve heard that Your Highness executed a spy? I wonder if that is true? " A civil servant with some pockmarks on his face asked with a chuckle.


    Yu Lingjing glanced at the officials surrounding him and saw the crown prince Yu Hanfeng glaring at him with anger in his eyes. Yu Lingjing''s mouth curved into a faint smile: "You reckless fool!" This is simply asking for it! " These words seemed to be said for the official who had just spoken to him, but it was actually said for the crown prince beside him. This time, he, Yu Lingjing, gave the crown prince another ruthless slap on the face.


    When the officials surrounding Yu Lingjing saw the Regent, who had been laughing for a long time, they laughed and spoke indifferently. They knew that he was right. The group of ass-kissers said in succession.


    "Your highness is really powerful! "As expected of the War God of the Hao Yue Empire?"


    "Your highness is our role model. If not, all of the officials here will feel threatened!"


    "Prince''s actions are really doing this for the sake of the people to get rid of harm. To spread the might of our dynasty!"


    "..."


    "My lords, you''re too serious!"


    These lackey''s flattery was incoherent. Wasn''t it related to the Yang Empire''s national might to just gather up a small subject? How ridiculous! However, Yu Lingjing was not in the mood to listen to their flattery, he only laughed and chatted with them, his gaze fixed on the crown prince, Yu Lingjing. His vicious, super conceited nephew was his opponent, and also someone worthy of his attention.


    The veins on the crown prince''s face were popping out and his heart was filled with rage. Yu Lingjing was very happy inside. If you had the ability to arrange for a spy in my Residence of Regent, how could you not have thought that this would happen?


    The Emperor has arrived!" Following the shrill and delicate voice of a eunuch, a middle-aged man dressed in a dragon robe with nine dragons'' golden threads and a dragon crown on his head walked to the front of a dazzling golden dragon throne.


    The civil and military officials below the court quickly lined up in two neat rows and knelt down together, shouting: "We greet the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! "


    "Everyone, please rise!" Emperor Yu Lingxuan slowly said as he sat on the dragon throne, waving his arm.


    "Thank you, your majesty!" The officials shouted in unison.


    "Oh my royal brother? I heard that my royal sister was poisoned. I wonder if my royal sister is well? " Yu Lingxuan indifferently asked.


    Yu Lingjing took a step forward and cupped his fists, saying indifferently: "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty! This lowly concubine was lucky to escape this calamity! " If Yu Lingjing could say less to the emperor, then so could he. The so-called ''monarch''s heart is hard to fathom''. Who knows what the emperor would think in the next moment?


    "Did you catch the murderer?" At the same time, he also wanted to know just how his royal brother had dealt with this murderer.


    "I ask for Your Majesty''s blessings! The culprit has been captured and executed by this humble subject! "


    "Oh? Did you find out who ordered it? " Yu Lingxuan was more concerned about this seemingly random question. Was this murderer sent out by his son, or was it related to his son?


    "No!" The murderer would rather die than submit. This humble subject feels that there''s no point in continuing the investigation, and will directly execute her! " Yu Ling Jing said calmly, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.


    At the same time, the crown prince''s bloodthirsty eyes could not wait to hack Yu Ling Jing to pieces! Was that his Merlin in the cold wind, his baby? You, Yu Lingjing, gave it to me just because you said so? You want to oppose this crown prince to the end? Since that''s the case, I''ll accompany you to the end. Yu-Ling Jing, you wait for me. I swear I will make you pay a heavy price to pay for Merlin''s death.


    "My royal brother handled it well!" For someone who has taken such a risk, we should make an example of him! " As Yu Lingxuan spoke, the corners of his mouth raised in a curve that no one else could see. Luckily, this killer had nothing to do with his son, or even if it was related to his own son, he still hadn''t betrayed his son. He couldn''t help but feel relieved in his heart.


    "Three days later, the envoy of the Beichen Kingdom and the princess of the Beichen Kingdom will arrive at the Hao Yue Empire. My dear officials, who would be willing to welcome them for me?" This envoy from ancient times was either someone from the royal family, or a high status official from a respected country. However, the officials of this "beautiful lady" Yu Lingxuan were unwilling to do the work for him, and those officials who ate royal food and did not bother with proper matters also sped up the turmoil and uneasiness of the Emperor of Hao Yue, burying the potential dangers of war in the future.


    "Your Majesty! This humble subject believes that welcoming the emissaries and princesses of the Beichen Kingdom is a matter that reflects the talents and military might of our Haoyue Kingdom! Therefore, this humble subject believes that he must send a handsome, extraordinary, highly talented, exceptional martial arts, and highly respected person to go! This humble subject believes that the Regent is the best choice! " The one who spoke was the Minister of the Right, who was as famous as the Minister of the Left.


    "Right Prime Minister is right!" Yu Lingxuan smiled as he looked at Yu Lingjing, "I wonder what your royal brother thinks?" He sounded like he was discussing something with Yu Ling Jing, but the emperor did want her to go. Actually, this method of questioning was just a courtesy from the Emperor. There was no need to take it seriously. If you really don''t agree to go there, there''s a lot of trouble.


    How could Yu Ling Jing not understand the meaning behind his words? He cupped his fists and said slowly, "This humble subject shall be decided by Your Majesty!"


    I, Yu Ling Jing, am not someone to be trifled with. If I were to head there actively, the Emperor''s suspicions would make him think that I have other intentions? If I did not go, would the Emperor think I would not serve him, or was there some other purpose? Is it not the best choice, whether I go or not? Since that''s the case, the Emperor threw a hot potato at me, I''ll throw it back to you, I, Yu Lingjing, will completely listen to His Majesty''s arrangements, if you ask me to go, I''ll go, if you don''t want me to, then I won''t go.


    "What do you think?" Yu Lingxuan calmly asked the Minister. He didn''t say that he would directly send Yu Lingjing to meet the envoys, but rather asked the other ministers for their intentions. No matter what the result was, it wasn''t the Emperor that had his own intentions, but the various ministers''.


    "His Royal Highness is the best choice!" All the ministers said in unison. These fence-sitters had long seen through the emperor''s intentions. They were just doing him a favor. In any case, they weren''t going alone.


    "Royal brother!" Look at this? " Yu Lingxuan pretended to have an awkward expression. This meant that the ministers had sent you, not my royal brother? What a great acting, playing both a good emperor and a good brother.


    "If that''s the case! This humble official shall go! " Yu Lingjing looked at the place where the masses were hoping for. She had to go, why not follow the wishes of these people?


    "Royal Uncle must establish a good relationship with the Beichen Kingdom this time, so that we can have a convenient time in the future!" The Crown Prince, Yu Hanfeng, said mockingly. His meaning was clear, it was for Royal Uncle to take advantage of this opportunity to meet the envoys of the Beichen Kingdom and rope them in so that it would be convenient to rebel in the future.


    "The Crown Prince is right. This king will definitely establish a friendly relationship with Beichen Kingdom for the Emperor of Hao Yue in order to ensure the peace of our nation!" Yu Lingjing looked at the crown prince as he spoke, cupping his hands in salute towards the emperor.


    "Royal Uncle sure is eloquent!" It seems like this prince will have to learn from you in the future! " Imperial Cold Wind saw that Yu Ling Jing had dispelled the other meaning in his words, and said with a sneer.


    "Where? The Crown Prince was joking! If you were to say that This King needs to learn from the crown prince, then in terms of scheming, This King will willingly admit defeat! " Yu Lingjing''s mouth curved into a faint smile. The meaning behind those words were that in terms of scheming and scheming, I, Yu Lingjing, am far inferior to you, Crown Prince.


    Seeing these two fight, Yu Lingxuan was satisfied. He did not want these two to ruin his mood. Looking at the eunuch beside him, he loudly shouted: "Withdraw!"


    The ministers all dispersed one by one. Yu Ling Jing tidied his clothes and prepared to return home. Who would have thought that just as he took a step, he would be called to a halt by the crown prince, Yu Hanfeng. "Royal Uncle, please wait a moment?"


    Yu Lingjing looked at the crown prince with a smile on his face and slowly said, "I don''t know what the crown prince would like to advise me?"


    "I''ve heard that Royal Uncle executed a spy. I presume that Imperial Uncle''s mood must be very good, right?" The Crown Prince stared at Yu Ling Jing with a sinister look on his face.


    Yu Lingjing suddenly felt that his nephew was not simple. He had just dealt with his woman, and he was still in the mood to joke with him. Yu Lingjing said complacently: "It''s not that I''m proud!" It was just a false alarm, but luckily, this humble concubine''s fate was great and everything was safe! It was just a pity that the spy who had tried to harm her, the beautiful lady who was as beautiful as snow, had disappeared without a trace? Sigh ¡­ What a pity, but she was carrying a child in her womb, a corpse and two lives? "


    Yu Hanfeng''s eyes immediately glowed with a pitiful light as he angrily roared at his flesh and blood, as though he was going to explode at any moment. He tightly clenched his fists and was about to charge forward to tear the murderer who killed his woman and child into a thousand pieces. The last wisp of reason told him that he could not, that things had come to this, that he had to be patient, that he had to wait for an opportunity, that it was the best comfort to Merlin and the child that he knew about, if only to get rid of Yu-Ling-Jing.


    Thinking of this, Yu Hanfeng closed his eyes and took a deep breath, slowly releasing his tightly clenched fist. He immediately put on a calm face, looked at Yu Lingjing, pretending to be envious, and said, "Imperial Uncle sure is lucky!"


    "This King does not care about that! But it''s still better than some people, who lose both their husband and their troops! " After Yu Ling Jing finished speaking, he glanced at Yu Ling Han, and then left with a complacent look on his face.


    Looking at Yu Ling Jing''s receding figure, Yu Feng''s face became ferocious again.
