"Your Majesty, the heavy rain last night at Matang Mountain has caused landslides, and the temple where Prince Ping'an is located has been buried under the rocks..."
"What about Prince Ping'an?" Jun Ye Su's hand holding the brush paused for a moment, ink splattering out.
"Prince Ping'an's whereabouts are unknown."
"Send someone to search."
"Understood!"
The person exited, and just as the door closed, a nonchalant remark floated back: "If you can't find him, just dig your own grave and jump in."
A cold sweat broke out on his back as he hurriedly ran towards the palace gate.
Once the footsteps faded away, Jun Ye Su set down the brush, his gaze chilling: "What about Qi Shen?"
"Qi Shen plans to act within these three days; I have already made arrangements," replied none other than Hong Hairen, who stood beside Jun Ye Su! Lord Hong—!
"If we can't retrieve Ping'an, then even if we know how to activate the Linglong Spine, it will be of no use. All these years of planning will go up in smoke! How can I accept that?!" Jun Ye Su clenched his fists and slammed them onto the desk, causing ink from the inkstone to splatter everywhere, leaving deep marks on the Xuan Paper.
Lord Hong stood beside him with his head bowed: "Prince Ping'an is not dead; our informants saw her being rescued from the mountain."
"Do you know where she is?"
"We have already sent people to secretly search along that route; I believe news will come soon."
"It better be so... The person guarding the Crystal Coffin is dead, and my aunt's body is also missing. Those in the shadows act much faster than we imagined." Jun Ye Su's gaze wandered over the Xuan Paper, watching as it turned black from the ink stains, his eyes filled with depth. "Once Qi Shen rebels, we will strike directly and uproot all his forces. Within these three days, we must quickly find out the connections between the enemy country's Emissary and Qi Shen; it would be best to have evidence proving they are blood brothers! We don't have much time left..."
Lord Hong bowed obediently but a cold glint flashed in his eyes upon hearing that Jun Liuji had been stolen away; his hands involuntarily clenched tightly.
………………
Qi Mo woke up that night and, seeing Su Peijiu sleeping with her head tilted against him, the corners of his lips curled slightly: "This is the first time someone has thrown themselves into my arms like this."
Hearing the voice, Su Peijiu rubbed her eyes and opened them, only to find herself staring into a pair of Azure eyes. She blinked: "Have I seen you before?"
Qi Mo's heart skipped a beat: "Maybe in a past life."
"I feel like I know you very well... The last time I saw you, it wasn't this intense, but now the more I look at you, the more familiar you seem."
Qi Mo chuckled lightly: "We've shared a bed; if we weren't familiar by now, that would be strange."
Su Peijiu's face flushed bright red: "It's not like I climbed into your bed on my own; it was that person beside you. I was recovering from an injury, and without saying a word, he just picked me up and tossed me onto your bed."
When Qi Mo heard the word "picked up," a cold glint flashed in his eyes. Just then, Qi Che pushed open the door, and his older brother's sharp gaze shot over, causing him to break out in a cold sweat.
"You're awake?" Qi Che said as he entered with a basin of water, hesitantly approaching Qi Mo.
"Since he's awake, I should head back," Su Peijiu said as she prepared to get up. However, as soon as her feet touched the ground, she pulled them back and smiled shyly at Qi Che: "Could you carry me back again?"
Qi Che lost his grip for a moment, spilling half the basin of water. His face turned pale as he looked at Su Peijiu. Could she say fewer words?
Seeing that Qi Che didn't move, Su Peijiu frowned at him: "Even if you don't want to carry me, could you call my senior brother over?"
Qi Che caught a glimpse of Qi Mo's already darkening face and quickly set down the basin. He walked to the door, closed it with a bang, and locked it.
"Take good care of my brother; he got injured because of you."
After saying that, she felt somewhat guilty but thought about Qi Mo's grim expression and decided that her own safety was more important.
Su Peijiu stared blankly at the door for a while, then turned to Qi Mo and asked, "What is he going crazy about?"
Qi Mo propped himself up to sit up, only to realize that he was completely wrapped in gauze. A slight movement sent a sharp pain throughout his body, and he muttered, "With injuries like this, there should be scars left... How am I going to explain this to my wife if she sees it in the future?"
Su Peijiu immediately felt as if she had made a huge mistake. She cautiously glanced at him and then lowered her head. "Your brother went to the back mountain to save me... If no one wants you in the future, what will you do if no one wants you..."
"If no one wants me, what will you do?"
Su Peijiu looked up at him for a moment and then quickly looked down again. "If no one wants you in the future, then I will reluctantly accept."
With her chin being lifted, she saw a pair of azure eyes that were as clear as spring water melting from ice and snow. "I hope you remember that."
Just as Su Peijiu was about to respond, the door suddenly crashed to the ground. Ji Yu, dressed in red, glared at Su Peijiu and stepped forward to grab her ear. "While I’m not here, you ran over to someone else's bed? What if Master sees? Who knows how he would punish you?! Get up!"
Su Peijiu covered her ears, pouted, and reached out to grab Ji Yu's neck with teary eyes. "You're so fierce; you'll have no wife in the future!"
Ji Yu snorted coldly. "That's none of your business! You little brat, always causing trouble!"
Carrying Su Peijiu on his back, he prepared to walk outside. Just as he took a step, a lazy voice called out, "Senior Brother, long time no see. Why didn’t you greet your junior brother before leaving?"
Ji Yu turned his head to look at Qi Mo and smirked sarcastically, "All wrapped up in bandages; you really are down on your luck."
"For the beauty, I am willing to be down on my luck."
Ji Yu snorted again. "There will always be a time when you cry." He then left with Su Peijiu, who looked back apologetically at Qi Mo. Qi Mo leaned against the soft cushion, his gaze falling on the broken door panel...
After Ji Yu returned Su Peijiu to her room, he stepped out for some fresh air. However, just as he walked out of the room, he saw Qi Che standing at the staircase.
"When did the Demon Cult Master become free enough to escort a woman?" Qi Che said sarcastically as he took a sip of his drink at the tavern, squinting his eyes at the spicy flavor.
Ji Yu twirled his finger around the wine cup and asked, "What do you want?"
"Give Fourth Brother some space, give him one last chance."
"What position are you sitting here with me? You’re just an eleven or twelve-year-old kid; do you think you know something?" Ji Yu scoffed.
"No matter what I know..." Qi Che picked up a piece of food and put it in his mouth, then took a sip of wine, his eyes slightly red from the spice. "No matter what I know, there is one thing I am sure of: Qi Mo is the person who would never harm Qin Ge!"
"What does your Qin Ge have to do with me?" Ji Yu frowned, bringing the wine cup to his lips but suddenly froze when the other spoke again.
"Do you really need me to clarify the relationship between Qin Ge and Su Peijiu? Then what ability does Master Mu Chu have? I believe the palace master, as his eldest disciple, should be very clear about that."
Ji Yu gently placed the wine cup back on the table and pressed down on it with one hand. "What exactly do you want?!"
"Still the same thing: Qi Mo will not harm Su Peijiu, so please don't act like a hen protecting her chicks. Their bond cannot be severed. If the palace master has any self-awareness, please treat your junior sister as a normal senior brother should."
"..." Ji Yu smiled without anger. "You know I am the palace master of the Demon Sect. People in the Demon Sect regard ethics and morals as nothing. Who I like is my freedom; what does it have to do with you?"
Qi Che casually crossed his legs and shook them a bit. "I kindly advise the palace master to avoid getting deeper into this and to withdraw early; otherwise, when they are together and celebrating their child's full moon, how will you handle it?"
Ji Yu twitched his lips; he had already attended a full moon celebration for a child, okay? It was just that the child's biological father did not show up.
Qi Che thought he had hit a sore spot with Ji Yu, so he became even more pleased with himself. "That's all I have to say; whether you listen or not is up to you."
As Ji Yu watched Qi Che stand up and prepare to leave, he lazily spoke up, "How much do you know about what happened after The Fall of the Great Yan?"
Qi Che looked at Ji Yu, sitting back down. "I know a bit."
"You also know that Fourth Brother is my junior brother?" Ji Yu said mockingly, watching Qi Che's stunned expression. He then downed the drink from the table in one go and left without looking back.
Qi Che sat in place, stunned for half a moment.
He murmured, "…My Fourth Brother is Master Mu Chu's most favored disciple? Did I hear that wrong?"
First, let’s sort this out.
First of all, in The Fall of the Great Yan, my Fourth Brother personally killed Qin Ge and then lifelessly sent the person into the Royal Tomb, disappearing for a year afterward. He was unclear about what Qi Mo had been doing during that year, but the only thing he knew for sure was that after a year, he returned, and during that year, Su Peijiu, as Chancellor Su Chi's Legitimate Daughter, caused a sensation with a song called Soul of the Samurai.
Then my Fourth Brother went to confront her angrily. After some back-and-forth banter between the two, he vaguely realized that Su Peijiu was actually Qin Ge, and his Fourth Brother had found his true love. But true love deeply hated him, and reluctantly, the two engaged in a cycle of longing and conflict several times until Yuan Cang perished.
Su Peijiu stayed in Suzhou City for several months and even had a child. My Fourth Brother's child is Ji Yu's, but Ji Yu's behavior towards Su Peijiu didn't seem like that of a child's father… so whose child Su Peijiu's really is remains to be debated.
The most important question now is that Su Peijiu took the Forgetfulness Pill and forgot the grievances between her and my Fourth Brother. However, fate brought them back together again. What about that child…? It seems my Fourth Brother still intends to silently get rid of this child.
There were many men around Su Peijiu, but during that time period, it seemed there were only Ji Yu and my Fourth Brother. Since Ji Yu isn't the child's biological father… then who is the child's father?
Qi Che covered his face and took a deep breath.
It seems he has deduced something significant!
