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.
