She was the youngest daughter of a century-old general's household, of noble status, cherished by her father and brothers, living a life of freedom and spontaneity. Yet, she was tragically murd...
Chu Yan's voice was cold and low, but it left no room for doubt.
As soon as the words fell, Rong Wan raised her head and said, "I think your Highness's move is feasible."
As soon as she finished speaking, seeing Qing Leishan and Qing Ziyuan looking over, Rong Wan's eyes were firm and unwavering. She simply said, "For me, nothing is more important than Yue'er's life. As long as my child can be saved, anything is fine."
After saying this, Rong Wan nodded towards Chu Yan and said, "I will go back to pack my things and tell Yue'er while I'm at it."
"Thank you, Madam."
Chu Yan nodded.
Qing Leishan opened his mouth and closed it again. His wife hadn't paid any attention to him until now. Even last night, he was sent to sleep in the side room.
Qing Ziyuan frowned and said nothing. It was obvious that Prince You had made up his mind.
After Rong Wan returned home, she directly ordered her trusted maid to prepare things, and then went to Qingyue's room. Qingyue was called out from her sleep and was told that they were going to the Nanjiao Temple Branch Courtyard. She was confused, but when she heard that it was her mother who wanted to go, and she always couldn't sleep well at night, and wanted to listen to Buddhist music, Qingyue agreed immediately. It would be good for the baby in her belly. She packed her things and got on the carriage with Rong Wan, then fell asleep and slept all the way to the Nanjiao Temple Branch Courtyard.
The three remaining men of the Qing family stared with grim expressions as they watched the carriage roar away.
"Dad, what do you think?"
Qing Ziyuan spoke up to break the silence.
Qing Leishan pinched his brows. He naturally knew what his eldest son was thinking. His eldest son was most like him, but his temperament was more calm. Knowing his worry, he could only sigh and say, "As I said, it's already very difficult for your little sister to survive. Your mother... you've seen it too. Don't upset her anymore. Let's leave it at that for now... We can talk about future matters later."
Qing Leishan waved his hand.
Hearing his father's words, Qing Ziyuan sighed and said nothing. He watched the dust raised by the carriage as it sped away, his brows furrowed, and he felt even more uncomfortable.
Thinking of how my younger sister woke up last night and got up to eat, she saw him at home. She was so happy that she rushed forward to hug him, calling him "big brother" over and over again, asking him when he came back and how many days had passed. She hugged his arm and told him that he was going to be her uncle.
With such a messed up memory, only those beautiful things remained in her mind.
That smile was so clear and crystal clear that no one had the heart to break it.
No wonder King You decided early on to keep his younger sister away from the troubles in the capital.
Having seen my younger sister's heart-wrenching despair and pain on the wedding day, and now that she's so innocent and cute, who would be willing to expose all this?
However, Qing Ziyuan also knew that the current peace and beauty was only temporary and would eventually explode one day.
Because the foreigner has not been captured yet, his whereabouts have been unknown since he escaped that day. The entire imperial capital was blocked, and almost all the troops were deployed, including the Imperial Guards, the Ministry of Justice, the Dali Temple... but his whereabouts were still not found. Thinking that he might have escaped from the city, catching this person would be even more of a distant goal.
But not being able to catch this guy is always a hidden danger. After all, he has put a life and death Gu on my little sister. Although my little sister is fine now, the child in my belly...
In short, this is their last trump card, and it will come back sooner or later.
The emperor has allowed him to delay his return to the border for three months, which should be the final deadline. That's why he thought that if he could catch the foreigner during this period and kill him in one fell swoop, it would be best if his family and his younger sister could move to the border and stay away from the troubles in the capital.
But right now, it is obviously a bit difficult.
Yesterday, he only mentioned a few words, but King You had already seen through his thoughts and brought people to Nanjiao Temple early in the morning.
Qing Ziyuan exhaled, and in a blink of an eye he saw Qing Zhan standing there, staring into the distance in a daze. Following his gaze, he could no longer see the carriage.
Thinking of his brother's experience, he reached out and patted his shoulder, "Let's go, go back."
Qing Zhan nodded gloomily, but felt lost in his heart.
**
The sky was bright and the morning sun rose, covering the land of the imperial capital.
Feng Ling stood up and walked into the dining hall with an expressionless face. After breakfast, he would go for a stroll outside the Qing family mansion. He didn't dare to go into the Qing family these days, but he couldn't sleep every night, and his longing for Qing was getting more and more painful.
He hadn't laughed for a long time, and the entire Prince Yu's Mansion was shrouded in a low pressure.
At this moment, Zhong Wu came hurriedly to report.
"Your Majesty, the secret guard reports that the princess has awakened!"
The tone was suppressed and excited, with a tremor.
"What?"
rub!
Feng Ling's expression suddenly changed, and then her eyes instantly revealed ecstasy and a hint of panic, "Really?"
As soon as he spoke, his voice was choked and the corners of his eyes were red.
God knows how much torment and pain he has been in these days, and the self-blame almost destroyed him.
One month!
A whole month!
He missed Yue'er almost to the point of madness, but he never dared to knock on the door of the Qing family again because he knew the resentment of the Qing family towards him. As long as Yue'er didn't wake up, he would not set foot in the Qing family.
Never mind that he was some kind of Prince Yu. He abused his power to oppress others. Yue'er had saved his life and legs, so how could he possibly do something like that?
Upon hearing the news that Yue'er had woken up, Feng Ling felt a bit dazed. His ecstasy was accompanied by a heartache and fear. He wondered if Yue'er would be willing to see him or forgive him.
"Master, the princess..."
In the midst of ecstasy and uneasiness, she suddenly heard Zhong Wu's hesitant look and the look in his eyes, and her eyes narrowed slightly.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
Zhong Wu knelt on the ground and said immediately, "But the princess was taken away by Prince You. The shadow guards followed her and found that her place was the Nanjiao Temple Branch Courtyard, which is under Prince You's property. Our people can't follow her in."
Feng Ling stood there, silent for a long moment. The next moment, she rushed out of the yard and headed straight for the horsemen. She mounted her horse and rushed towards Nanjiao Mountain. A single thought entered her mind: Yue'er had woken up, but Chu Yan had taken her away. Why had he taken her away? And to Nanjiao Temple? Had something happened? Could it be that Qin Wan had woken up again?
Panic and fear enveloped him completely.
In an instant, my back was covered in cold sweat.
He ran all the way, leaving all the guards behind. In less than half an hour, he arrived at the foot of Nanjiao Temple Mountain.
Behind the Nanjiao Temple, a large villa was built, surrounded by mountains on one side and the temple on the other. It covers a huge area and has excellent scenery, green mountains and hills, and is naturally protected. It was built based on the mountain temple. Many people have speculated before about who owns this house, but because the owner kept it secret, no one knew. Now they know that it belongs to Chu Yan.
Feng Ling ran all the way to the foot of the mountain in the southern suburbs, only to see two twin boys coming forward to greet them. "This subordinate greets Prince Yu."
Feng Ling knew these two people. They were Chu Yan's close subordinates. They were very skilled in martial arts and very loyal.
"Where is your master?"
