Su Qinghe had been neglected by Mo Shaojun for the past two days, and she was feeling extremely anxious and upset.
She tugged at Su Rong'an's sleeve worriedly.
"Mother, we..."
Su Rong'an glared at her and deliberately shouted loudly into the Buddha Heart Hall.
"Qinghe, what's the rush? With your father and your elder brother here, our branch of the family can hold its own even without the Su family's prestige. Come on, since your grandfather refuses to see us, let's go to the Third Prince's residence."
After saying that, he grabbed Su Qinghe and hurriedly left.
Su Yulan spat at their retreating figures, feeling extremely smug.
"Finally, we've gotten the better of them! That feels great!"
Cheng glanced again in the direction of the Buddha Heart Hall.
“Your grandfather clearly wants to sit back and watch the tigers fight. We absolutely cannot lose this round. Let’s go and wait outside the palace for Minglang to come out. You and your husband must maintain your relationship well.”
Su Yulan nodded immediately.
Inside the Buddha Heart Hall, the old servant recounted the events.
"Master, I didn't expect Qin Run to have such good fortune. I'm afraid this might cause some discord with the Third Prince. Should you send a message to appease him?"
Su Weichuan waved his hand.
"Ignore it, let them make a fuss."
He had no interest in these matters at the moment.
He wants to reclaim the Heart of the Sea Dragon.
He couldn't let Jiang Qingwan monopolize the treasure he had nurtured for so long.
Otherwise, all his years of planning would have been in vain.
Cheng and Su Yulan drove their carriage towards the palace.
They gave a lot of money to inquire about information.
After waiting for quite a while, a young eunuch finally came out.
He gave a perfunctory bow to the two of them.
"Are you two ladies here to pick up Qin Dingwei?"
Su Yulan was completely confused.
"Qin Dingwei? What Qin Dingwei? We're here to pick up General Qin Minglang. He's the Emperor's great benefactor, so watch your words and think twice before you speak."
The young eunuch gave a sarcastic smile.
"This servant knows nothing of gratitude or favor. I only know that Qin Dingwei was taken to the city gate by the Grand Steward, where an imperial edict was read out, declaring that from now on he would be demoted from a second-rank general to a sixth-rank guard."
Su Yulan staggered and almost fell to the ground.
"Impossible! How could this be? He's a second-rank general, the Chief Justice of the Court of Judicial Review, and the great benefactor who raised the prince. How could he possibly be guarding the city gate? You must be talking nonsense!"
The little eunuch rolled his eyes, turned around, and left.
Su Yulan was anxious to grab her, but was quickly stopped by Cheng.
"This is the palace, stop fooling around. Let's go to the city gate and we'll see if it's real or fake."
When they rushed to the city gate, they saw Qin Minglang, dressed as a servant, bowing and scraping as he poured tea for the city gate guard with a worn-out teapot.
Su Yulan's hopes were completely dashed.
...
Inside the carriage heading to Xuanling Mountain,
The more Mo Yunhan thought about it, the stranger it seemed.
"The Emperor is recognizing his son far too quickly. He didn't even conduct any investigation and just recognized him on the street based on a token. Something's not right."
Jiang Qingwan was lounging lazily on the soft cushion, leisurely reading miscellaneous books.
She glanced at him upon hearing this.
"How much do you think Qin Run looks like the Emperor?"
Mo Yunhan shook his head.
Not a single cent.
Jiang Qingwan kicked his calf with her foot.
The little girl gestured towards the snack box.
Mo Yunhan chuckled, and while serving her some, he said, "Eat less, the journey will be bumpy, you'll feel unwell later."
"None of your business!"
I got hit on the calf again.
Mo Yunhan smiled and voiced his guess.
"So, Qin Run isn't a prince, is that right?"
Jiang Qingwan didn't answer, but only said, "It seems the emperor really likes that embroiderer."
Mo Yunhan, however, did not think so.
"Emperors are ruthless, let alone a prostitute."
Jiang Qingwan paused for a moment as she took a bite of the hibiscus cake.
"If you became emperor, would you also have a harem of three thousand?"
Mo Yunhan was about to say that his mind wasn't on this, but then he noticed Jiang Qingwan secretly glancing at him, so he deliberately coughed softly.
"If I were to actually sit in that position, with all kinds of beauties, plump and slender, at my disposal, even if I were cold-hearted, I fear I would find it difficult to resist."
Before he could finish speaking, he was kicked hard in the shin.
Seemingly still not satisfied, Jiang Qingwan raised her foot to kick again after kicking, but her ankle was grabbed.
The intense heat of the man's palm was hard to ignore even through his socks.
Jiang Qingwan struggled but couldn't break free, and glared at him angrily.
"let go."
"Is my wife jealous?"
"Hmph, don't flatter yourself!"
"Then what makes you angry?"
"I only feel sorry for women because all men in the world are fickle."
"oh……"
The man's voice trailed off menacingly.
The once spacious carriage suddenly became extremely cramped.
Jiang Qingwan puffed out her cheeks, clearly displeased, but her beautiful eyes sparkled with captivating light.
It's intoxicating, captivating, and impossible to escape.
Mo Yunhan slowly bent down.
The warm breath stirred my heartbeat.
Jiang Qingwan couldn't bear it any longer. She subconsciously closed her eyes, her eyelashes trembling, filled with anticipation yet also panic.
"It smells blood!"
Mo Yunhan suddenly stood up and lifted the curtain on the side.
"Night Seven, stop the car!"
Night Seven also sensed something was wrong.
He immediately raised his hand to stop everyone.
The carriage had just come to a stop when the sound of rapid hoofbeats came from ahead.
In just a few breaths, they were upon each other, and a soldier covered in blood was strapped to a horse and galloping away.
But it lost control of the direction and was about to crash.
