The moon was bright and the cold wind was blowing, blowing up a gust of fallen dead leaves, making a rustling sound. The wind passed through the treetops, leaving behind a few sparse shadows swaying.
Two bedrooms, one for men and one for women.
Shen Wuyou set up a barrier, closed the door, turned around, and watched them spread out the blanket, sit down on the bed, and then lie down, collapsing in a row.
“…”
The next second, she also walked over and sat down together.
"Huh—I can finally take a nap."
Bai Yumo blinked her tired eyes and looked up at the sky.
Ju Shou, who had been frightened all the way, had already fallen into a deep sleep, but these three salted fish were still exchanging information with their eyelids fluttering.
I only heard Yan Qingli beside me slowly say:
"I've only heard of Qi Qingyun. He's the third son of the Qi family. He's been weak and sickly since childhood, coughing every three steps and gasping every five. But he was born with a good life. His eldest sister protects the country, and his second sister collects wealth and does business. They protect him closely, so he has never been bullied since he was a child.
"When he grew up, he won the favor of the Crown Princess, who insisted on marrying him. Despite the opposition of many ministers, she married him home with a grand ceremony, giving him full face."
Bai Yumo listened and didn't seem to see anything wrong. She immediately asked in confusion, "So, he's a delicate flower that grew up in a greenhouse, living a smooth and carefree life. Why would he secretly recruit troops and gather these evil thoughts?"
"What's the use of these evil thoughts?" Shen Wuyu's eyelids felt heavy, so he simply closed his eyes.
"If collected by humans, they are mostly used to feed ghosts; if collected by ghosts, they are generally used as food. Of course, there is also the most terrifying scenario..."
Bai Yumo paused, then explained seriously: "But if it is used to nourish the ancient ferocious beast Hunyuan and help it break the seal, then the trouble will be huge..."
Hunyuan is a demonic being formed from the evil thoughts and evil intentions of the six realms. It has existed since the creation of heaven and earth and the birth of life. It feeds on evil thoughts, absorbing the evil thoughts of the world to nourish itself and continue to grow.
As long as evil thoughts persist, they will never disappear.
This is why it has to be re-sealed every five hundred years instead of being killed completely.
It coexists with the six realms and lives and dies with all living things.
"Come to think of it, I find it strange too," Yan Qingli analyzed. "Keshou's memory is incomplete. There's a missing section, probably from when he was 16. It's like someone deliberately erased it."
"Is it possible in this world to erase people's memories at will?" Shen Wuyou asked in surprise.
"Erasing it completely can be used to feed the Forget Worry Water, but erasing only a fragment is not right." Bai Yumo frowned slightly and muttered, "Who in this world has such ability?"
“…”
The three of them suddenly fell silent, all shaking their heads in confusion.
"Let's go check it out tomorrow. This Qi Qingyun is a problem."
"Yes. He lives in the palace. Since he can come out quietly, it means he also has the ability to get people in quietly."
"I even have some doubts, is Long Aojun kidnapped by Qi Qingyun?"
"......" Bai Yumo and Yan Qingli turned to look at her at the same time, "Why?"
Shen Wu's eyes slowly opened, and he leaned sideways, supporting his head with one hand, looking at them: "Because of the struggle for imperial power, within the royal family, those who want to achieve great things can kill even their closest relatives."
Yan Qingli didn't quite understand: "What do you mean?"
"Qi Qingyun, don't you find this strange?" she asked.
"The imperial family's biggest taboo is premature death. Even if it's to consolidate the Qi family's power, there's really no need to marry him as a principal husband. Given his physical condition, even if he becomes a concubine, the people will probably still be grateful for the emperor's great favor."
"As the future crown princess, how important is her ascension day? If she happens to coincide with her husband's death, how will the people of the world view her? And how will the fate of the nation be portrayed?"
Bai Yumo thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps, this is true love?"
Hearing this, Shen Wuyou laughed: "You're talking about true love with a crown prince?"
Yan Qingli looked at her and said softly, "In this world, there are always some people who desire warmth rather than power."
Shen Wuyou also looked at her. After a moment of silence, he suddenly chuckled, "Okay, okay, we'll see tomorrow... Go to sleep."
The breathing of the two people beside him gradually calmed down, but Yan Qingli couldn't fall asleep for a long time.
Long Aojun had a bad temper, but he wasn't cunning. His identity was so sensitive, implicating two countries. If he was really being used by someone with ulterior motives, he would probably hate himself.
Two days...
Where are you...
......
At the same time, in the basement of Wutong Palace in Huangquan Country—
"Get out! Everyone, get out of here!!!"
An angry roar accompanied by billowing flames occasionally burned this magnificent dark room.
Long Aojun has been trapped here for two days and two nights!
When he woke up, he found that he had nothing on him, no jade token, no magic sword, and was surrounded by a group of servants in palace uniforms. Even if he was a fool, he would have understood by then -
He was kidnapped by his own family?!
It's such a shame and humiliation!
He immediately rushed to find the Queen Mother, only to discover that these people had the audacity to imprison him here, preventing him from leaving freely?!
He had such a bad temper that he immediately released the Phoenix Divine Fire to burn the entire room!
However, I never expected that the buildings here were all made of pure gold! It was a kind of gold specially forged according to the properties of the Phoenix Divine Fire!
