Dou Sichen was heartbroken.

"don't want!"

In the blink of an eye, a dark figure rushed over and slammed a palm heavily into Su Weichuan's chest.

Click.

The sound of the sternum cracking was clearly audible.

Su Weichuan screamed in agony as blood spurted out.

Shadow leaped to catch it, and was about to retaliate when Night Seven also rushed in.

"Thieves, stop running!"

Su Weichuan said something.

The shadow immediately grabbed him and disappeared in a few flashes.

Even though Ye Qi's lightness skill was considered superb, he chased the enemy to the rooftop but saw nothing.

It was as if the two of them had vanished into thin air.

He had to fly back to the ground.

"Your Highness, the person has disappeared."

Mo Yunhan didn't have time to pay attention to him at the moment; he was quickly applying blood to stop Jiang Qingwan's bleeding.

Jiang Qingwan waved her hand, took out a talisman from her purse, and stuck it on the wound to stop the bleeding and relieve the pain.

He then pushed his arm aside and quickly walked up to Dou Sichen.

The shadow disappeared, and the restraints on Dou Sichen were also released.

Jiang Qingwan then took out another talisman to help Dou Sichen stop the bleeding.

Before he could even open his mouth to speak, he was given a lecture.

"Why are you so disobedient? I told you to leave, didn't you hear me? How dangerous was that? If something had happened to you, how would I explain it to my master?"

He was anxious, angry, and heartbroken.

His eyes were red.

Jiang Qingwan had a lot of questions to ask, but she opened her mouth and then remembered that there were other people present.

He immediately turned his head and said, "Mo Yunhan, you and Ye Qi take your uncle back first."

A glint flashed in Mo Yunhan's eyes.

He remained silent.

Jiang Qingwan knew he was worried and was about to explain a few more words.

Dou Sichen suddenly said, "You can go out now. I have something to say to him."

Jiang Qingwan echoed.

"I know, isn't this just a suggestion? Wait a little longer."

Dou Sichen sighed, stood up, and patted Jiang Qingwan on the shoulder.

I'm talking about you.

Jiang Qingwan turned around in surprise.

"I...I'll go out? Then who will you talk to?"

Dou Sichen raised his hand and pointed at Mo Yunhan.

"With him."

Ye Qi carried the unconscious Zheng Qing out the door first.

Jiang Qingwan was also pushed out by Dou Sichen, who pointed to the location across the street.

"Go away, and don't eavesdrop."

Jiang Qingwan's face puffed up with anger, but she was unusually obedient.

Ye Qi was dumbfounded.

When did his princess become so well-behaved?

The courtyard gate was closed again.

Dou Sichen looked at Mo Yunhan.

"You saw the danger just now. I need you to send Qingwan away from the capital immediately. If you can't do that, I'll take her back to Zhuge Sect right away."

Mo Yunhan had no objection to sending Jiang Qingwan away from the capital.

He nodded emphatically.

“I have already made preparations. Sending her away is not the goal. I hope she can have a better life, and I can assure you of that.”

Dou Sichen seemed somewhat satisfied with this and gave a deep "hmm".

Mo Yunhan was more concerned about something else.

"You are Wan'er's senior brother. Can you tell me what the relationship is between the Zhuge Sect and the Sui Dynasty?"

To this day, Dou Sichen has no intention of hiding it.

Especially when they saw that old scoundrel Su Weichuan was still alive.

But he had no intention of being completely honest with the princes of the Great Zhou.

"What the Great Zhou owes the Great Sui, we will come and collect it ourselves. At that time, we will each rely on our own abilities, and we will have no regrets about life or death! If you truly cherish Qingwan, do not tell her about this."

Mo Yunhan's heart sank to the bottom in an instant.

He had some suspicions, but now that they've been confirmed, it's still hard to accept.

The officials of the royal family are different from ordinary people.

Once war breaks out, the people who die the most are the civilians.

But he has no right to demand that the other party not seek revenge.

After all, when the Sui Dynasty was destroyed, countless people died.

He cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards Dou Sichen.

What you think is what I think too.

"There is one more thing I would like to ask you. Since you have a grudge against the Great Zhou, why did you still bestow medicine to save my father?"

Dou Sichen's expression changed repeatedly.

"If I knew...if I knew..."

He didn't finish his sentence, filled with resentment.

If he had known that the refined scholar who caused the downfall of the Sui Dynasty was actually Prince Su Weichuan, who had breached the Sui Dynasty's defenses and slaughtered the entire imperial palace, would he have given him medicine because of the relationship between Jiang Qingwan and Mo Yunhan?

If the Great Zhou were merely fighting the Great Sui, with success or failure depending on individual abilities, then even with the animosity between families and nations, no one could utter a single wrong word.

After all, it's a dog-eat-dog world; if you start a war, you have to accept the consequences of defeat.

However, the Great Zhou was too cunning. They actually used such shameless means to deceive the feelings of the ruling princess, steal the core information of the Mechanism Camp, and even designed the Heavenly Gate Formation.

For so many years, he had believed that the swindler was dead.

Although unwilling, the royal bloodline still exists.

There's plenty of time ahead; their goal isn't revenge, but restoring their kingdom.

But now...

He looked at Mo Yunhan again.

He didn't know if Jiang Qingwan would repeat the same mistake that the eldest princess had made.

He really wished he could do the same shameless thing as the Great Zhou Dynasty back then, and put poison into the moat of the capital to kill everyone.

Seeing that he was unwilling to talk about it, Mo Yunhan did not press him further.

"Where are you going? I'll have someone take you there."

"No need!"

Dou Sichen took a deep breath, said nothing more, turned around, opened the courtyard gate, and walked straight to Jiang Qingwan's side.

A thousand emotions churned in his eyes, but eventually settled into calm.

As usual, I raised my hand and gently rubbed her little head.

"I'm going back to the Qilian Mountains. Do you want to come back with me?"
