People began to suspect that Xiao Yi's apparent death was a ruse to secretly amass troops. Some even doubted that Xiao Yi had long harbored intentions of rebellion. Especially King Xuan Luo Yu, who was gathering soldiers in his fief, creating an atmosphere of insurrection.
The current Emperor Yuwen Hao disguised himself and visited Prince Zhongshan’s Mansion in search of Xiao Yi. Meanwhile, Luo Yu also infiltrated Prince Zhongshan’s Mansion. The first person he sought was me.
Luo Yu had unfinished business from our last encounter. Even if Xiao Yi did not want me to know, he still had to tell me. I had been investigating the truth behind Xiao Yi's death in the Dongyang battle years ago. I suspected that the culprit was none other than Luo Yu.
"Luo Yu, what exactly is going on?" I asked.
Luo Yu lowered his gaze and chuckled softly. "Qian Qian, you should have guessed by now."
"Xiao Yi's current state of injury and misfortune is all my doing."
I was taken aback, looking at him in disbelief. "Why?"
Luo Yu smiled lightly and leaned closer to me. "Don't you know? Xiao Yi is the most cold-hearted and unfeeling person."
"He has experienced betrayal since childhood; everyone has treated him poorly."
"But you gave him your sincere heart."
"Qian Qian, you are so innocent, so passionate."
"Your eyes are always so bright."
"Even back then, you never looked at him like everyone else did."
"You called him brother and protected him at every turn."
"Qian Qian, don't you remember what happened back then?"
I stared blankly at him, unable to speak.
Luo Yu was right.
Back then, I really liked Xiao Yi.
But he always treated me coldly.
I thought he didn't like me.
Until that time, when he stood in front of me covered in blood after killing someone.
I was so scared that I couldn't get up and cried, begging him to take me home.
Although Xiao Yi said impatient words, he still picked me up.
After that, I often clung to him.
I knew that although he appeared indifferent, he actually cared about me.
Otherwise, he could have easily left me there without a second thought.
But he didn't.
He killed that person but saved me.
"Qian Qian, do you know why Xiao Yi cares about you?"
Luo Yu's voice pulled me back to reality.
I lowered my gaze and said softly, "Because I saved him."
"No."
Luo Yu smiled.
"That's not it."
"Qian Qian, it's because you're foolish."
"You are so innocent, so passionate."
"Even if the whole world abandons him, you will stay by his side."
"Qian Qian, you are his light."
I was stunned, my mind blank.
Luo Yu's words plunged me into deep thought.
Could it be that Xiao Yi really only cared about that past Qian Nuan?
I stood facing Luo Yu, questioning him about the truth from back then.
"So, Xiao Yi's faked death was caused by you?"
Luo Yu chuckled softly.
"Yes."
"The battle at Dongyang was orchestrated by me behind the scenes, putting Xiao Yi in danger."
"But he never expected that such a formidable person would fall into my hands."
"During that battle, Xiao Yi was severely injured and on the brink of death."
"Qian Qian, all of this is because of you."
I stared at him in disbelief.
"Because of me?"
Luo Yu sneered, looking at me with a complex expression.
"Qian Qian, do you truly not remember what happened back then?"
I didn't remember.
Back then, when the capital fell, the Former Dynasty Emperor pushed a noblewoman onto the city wall as a hostage.
To save himself, Father Qian pushed me up there.
On the city wall, I stood at the edge with other women, with nothing but rolling stones and wooden stakes below us.
Once Xiao Yi attacked the city, we would fall and be pierced by sharp blades.
