Why are you helping me?

Inside the prison, "Blood Purple Rose" questioned Infantry Commander Liu Qianqiu in her clear, beautiful voice.

"Are you really Princess Luoxi's child? Is Princess Luoxi alright?"

Upon hearing "Blood Purple Rose's" inquiry, Liu Qianqiu first looked around, and seeing that no one was around, lowered her voice.

"you……"

"Blood Purple Rose" had a look of suspicion in her narrow phoenix eyes.

"This humble servant is Liu Qianqiu, currently serving as the Commander of the Infantry. During the reign of the late Emperor, I served as a guard in the capital."

Liu Qianqiu gave a self-introduction, and "Blood Purple Rose" raised an eyebrow.

"What a promotion! Commander Liu, you've risen from a guard in the capital to the position of Infantry Commander. It seems that the sorcerer trusts you quite a bit. Congratulations!"

"Blood Purple Rose" spoke with sarcasm and barbs, convinced that he was in cahoots with the old Taoist priest Qiu Tianxiang, but then saw him smile bitterly.

"It's nothing but a precarious existence. The late emperor is nowhere to be found, and Qingyu Kingdom has become the old Taoist's possession. What can we do?"

Mr. Liu cannot bring himself to rebel. After all, he has elderly parents and children at home.

One year, the Imperial Advisor took a liking to the youngest daughter, Yanran, and attempted to forcibly take her away. Enraged, Liu was ready to fight to the death, but was stopped by the Sixth Young Master, who told him that it was better to conserve his strength than to fight to the death.

"Sixth Young Master? Chu Yunmo?"

"Blood Purple Rose" suddenly realized that she didn't understand him at all.

"The Grand Preceptor has many children, but the Sixth Prince is different. He is devoted to the people and will help anyone who is in trouble. He may seem cold and ruthless on the surface, but he is the most filial of them all."

Only he didn't look down on his mother's background and kept trying to please the Imperial Advisor, all so that he could bring his mother to live a life of luxury..."

Liu Qianqiu talked a lot with "Xue Ziwei". It turned out that the women in Qiu Yunce's courtyard were all rescued by him. He taught them the art of disguise and martial arts, just to help them escape Qiu Tianxiang's clutches. Liu Qianqiu's daughter was among them, namely Ruxuan.

Chu Yunmo of Zixiao Kingdom is a male prostitute hated by everyone, but Chu Yunmo of Qingyu Kingdom is a figure revered by all. Indeed, everything has two sides. For a moment, "Xue Ziwei" did not know whether Chu Yunmo was a good person or a bad person.

"By the way, I heard from Ruxuan that my maternal grandfather might still be alive. Commander Liu has been patrolling the palace; has he noticed anything unusual?"

Since Infantry Commander Liu Qianqiu was not one of Qiu Tianxiang's men, "Blood Purple Rose" decided to take the risk and trust her this once.

"This humble servant has also been searching for the late Emperor, but..."

Liu Qianqiu shook his head. If they could find the late emperor, this evil Taoist would no longer be able to act so recklessly.

"By the way, there is a place that I have never looked for. The Imperial Preceptor does not allow anyone to approach that place. Everyone who has approached it has died, except for the Sixth Prince."

"where?"

Upon hearing Liu Qianqiu's words, "Blood Purple Rose"'s eyes lit up; perhaps that place would be the breakthrough.

"rockery."

Liu Qianqiu spoke very softly, glancing around repeatedly as if afraid of being overheard.

"An artificial hill? Isn't that the place I walked through with Chu Yunmo last time?"

"Blood Purple Rose" recalled that some time ago, when she and Chu Yunmo entered the palace, they seemed to have heard some sounds when they passed by. Later, she asked Chu Yunmo about it, but he said that there was no noise and that he was just hallucinating. Could it be that the late emperor was hiding somewhere?

"If the late emperor really hid there, why would Chu Yunmo hide it? Judging from Liu Qianqiu's words, Chu Yunmo had approached the artificial hill. He couldn't possibly not know what's behind it..."

Just as "Blood Purple Rose" was muttering to herself, a commotion came from outside the cell. The two turned around and saw Lieutenant Ouyang Chen leading a group of people in.

"Commander Liu, I have sent you two more people. Keep a close eye on them. When the Imperial Advisor takes out the Imperial Seal, it will be the time for my Qingyu Kingdom to dominate the world."

Ouyang Chen waved his hand smugly, and two people were pushed out of the crowd.

"Li Mufeng? Wang Feng?"

"Blood Purple Rose" frowned; how could they have been arrested too?

"Lord Ouyang, this..."

Liu Qianqiu knew Li Mufeng and knew he was the Dragon King of the "Purple Cloud Kingdom," so he probed,

"The Imperial Advisor is indeed brave and mighty. He just captured Miss Luo Yun, and now he has captured the Dragon King of Zixiao Kingdom. It is only a matter of time before he can dominate the world."

"No, it was the young masters who worked together to capture these two thieves."

The Imperial Preceptor suffered a qi deviation today because these two trespassed into the training room. The princes, worried about their father, all rushed here and found the two men lurking suspiciously outside the palace gates. So they joined forces and captured them.

"Young masters? Qiu Tianxiang has gone mad with qi deviation?"

"Blood Purple Rose" grasped a few key points, glanced at Li Mufeng, and saw that both Li Mufeng and Wang Feng were covered in wounds, indicating that the battle had just taken a fierce turn.

"Bring it in."

Liu Qianqiu glanced at "Xue Ziwei," and seeing her nod, waved his hand.

Li Mufeng and Wang Feng were roughly pushed into the "Blood Purple Rose" cell. Seeing that Lieutenant Ouyang Chen had left, Infantry Commander Liu Qianqiu bowed.

"I will wait outside. Miss Luo Yun must have a lot to say to Prince Longxuan, so I will not disturb you."

After Liu Qianqiu finished speaking, he wisely prepared to leave, but was stopped by "Blood Purple Rose".

"Since the Sixth Young Master has done you a favor, do you think it would be possible to rescue his mother, Ziyuan, first? The reason we came back is precisely for her."

"I fear I am powerless to help. In the past two days, I lost dozens of my generals in an attempt to save her, but we were still unable to get even half a step closer to that room."

Yesterday, the matter of the Sixth Young Master harboring my daughter was exposed. I fear that the evil Taoist priest has long suspected me. Today, entrusting you to my guard is likely a test. I apologize.

Liu Qianqiu felt extremely guilty. Li Mufeng spoke up.

"Don't make things difficult for him. The place where that old Taoist priest imprisoned Zi Yuan and the others was covered with layers of formations. Wang Feng and I went to great lengths and only managed to lure the old Taoist priest out of the room."

"Lure them out of the room? Wasn't it said that the old Taoist priest had gone mad with demonic possession?"

"Blood Purple Rose" raised her narrow phoenix eyes. Could it be that Ouyang Chen just said that on purpose to lure them into a trap to kill the old Taoist?

"It's not necessarily a case of going astray, but since that wicked Taoist is so audacious, Your Highness may as well give him that thing..."

Wang Feng was gloating from the sidelines, but before he could finish speaking, he saw Li Mufeng's cold gaze fixed on him. He immediately realized what he had said, and his face flushed slightly.

"This subordinate said nothing."

"Li Mufeng, you're something else! That's ruthless of you, actually castrating that evil Taoist priest?"

"Blood Purple Rose" looked on with admiration. If she were to face that evil Taoist priest again, she would castrate him. He deserved it for harming so many women.

"Good, good. That way, those women we arrested a couple of days ago will be spared."

Commander Liu Qianqiu, who shared the same thought, gave Li Mufeng a thumbs up.

"And this is...?"

Only then did Li Mufeng realize that he hadn't yet asked "Xue Ziwei" why she was so familiar with the person in front of him.
