He swung his spear, stirring up a bloody storm; he held his spear high in the wind, looking down upon the vast landscape.
It is hard to imagine that such a slender woman who was supposed to stay in the inner room playing the piano and painting could so incredibly defeat the men in the same army and achieve such a great feat!
Bai Yumo respected her and unconsciously adjusted her tone before replying, "The evidence is under Shao Junlang's bedroom. However, the Second Prince is not in danger for the time being. We suggest waiting for a while to lure out the mastermind behind this."
"What do the immortals know?" Her eyes were indifferent, but her light glance contained a sharpness like an eagle, which made people's hearts tremble.
"From what we know so far, your country's young master is indeed hiding some unknown secrets. And..." Bai Yumo's eyes were solemn. As he spoke, he suddenly asked, "I wonder if Your Majesty has heard any rumors recently?"
"No." Jun Ling was the high and mighty emperor, so some rumors from the city naturally could not reach her ears.
Bai Yumo was silent for a moment after hearing this. While pondering her words, she stepped forward and whispered in his ear, "On the way here with my friends, we heard a few children singing a nursery rhyme..."
Canary~Canary~
Gold thread woven into a brocade fur belt~
Gold, jade, and ivory chopsticks~
A feast of gold and paper~
The phoenix is attracted by the phoenix~
Phoenix is coming~Phoenix is coming~
Phoenix wings gold thread pendant ~
Standing on the phoenix tree with phoenix feathers draped over his body
Mingsheng disguises himself as a phoenix~
From now on, the relationship is no longer there~
As she whispered slowly, Jun Ling's eyes gradually darkened...
"I guess the immortals have a plan." She looked calm and her voice was steady and composed.
The dark and suddenly shrunken pupils only existed for a barely noticeable moment, and then instantly recovered their usual nobility. The imperial aura revealed in her bones was submissive, as if the vicious and cruel woman in the nursery rhyme had nothing to do with her.
Seeing her like this, Bai Yumo thought she must have made a decision in her mind, so she thought for a moment and replied, "Three days."
Jun Ling raised his eyes to look at her, and she also raised her eyes to meet his inquiring gaze, and said calmly, "If Your Majesty can wait for three days, we will give Your Majesty a satisfactory answer."
"In that case, I'll trouble you all."
After she finished speaking, she added, her tone unquestionable and affirmative: "You are tired, so you can rest here for a few days."
Afterwards, he called over several palace maids to lead the way for them.
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, the courtyard arranged for them was Cangwu Garden, which was closest to the Princess's Mansion.
After sending away the group of palace maids, the three of them gathered together to discuss their next plan, waiting for dark to go to the Princess's Mansion to find out what was going on.
They changed into black clothes that blended in with the night, sneaked into the Princess's Mansion silently, and lay on the roof of the Wutong Palace to observe the situation below.
I heard from the palace maids that Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess loves this young prince Lang very much. She favors him almost every night and takes great care of him. It is truly enviable.
But it seems that this statement is not very accurate.
Because they saw with their own eyes that this heroic and vigorous Crown Princess who had fought on the battlefield was quite cold towards Qi Qingyun who came to greet her.
"My dear wife!" Qi Qingyun immediately showed a look of joy when he saw someone coming back. The joy in his eyes did not seem fake, and the deep love when he looked at her did not seem fake either.
It was completely different from the cunning look they saw today, it could be said that he was like two different people.
"I'm going to Liuyun today. You go to sleep first." Long Chujun looked a little tired. He reached out and gently patted his hand, then pushed it away.
Qi Qingyun was stunned for a moment, then slowly revealed an understanding smile, and said weakly with a pale face: "Yes, the wife is not just Qingyun's wife, she has to take care of the other brothers."
Long Chujun looked at him deeply and smiled faintly: "You are always so well-behaved and sensible."
Today, inside the Golden Palace.
She was discussing with her mother how to prevent winter snowstorms when she heard the guards report that three immortals had come to Xuwang Mountain to seek a meeting.
She was drafting documents in the side hall, so she didn't go. But when she went there later, she happened to hear them talking about Qingyun kidnapping her second brother.
To be honest, she naturally didn't believe it.
She had been with Qi Qingyun for three years, and he had always been so frail that he would cough and gasp for breath even when leaving the yard. How could he have secretly built a secret passage as the immortal said?
But she also understood that Xuwang Mountain never cared about worldly affairs. They came here either to eliminate evil spirits or they really came for their second brother.
She was lost in thought when the Queen Mother's voice suddenly came:
"Did you hear everything?"
Upon hearing this, she slowly walked out from the shadows, her eyes dimming slightly: "Yes, Queen Mother."
"You don't need me to teach you what to do, do you?" The Queen Mother's voice was slightly cold. It seemed that the nursery rhyme reminded her of that dark past.
"I understand!" Although she was unwilling to believe it, if the evidence was conclusive, she would definitely not show favoritism.
So, Qingyun, don't let me down...
Long Chujun gave him a last deep look, then turned and went to his concubine's bedroom.
Qi Qingyun, who was standing behind him, had sorrowful eyes as she followed the receding figure until she completely disappeared into the thick darkness...
"Young Master, why don't you ask His Highness to stay?" His personal attendant Luan Ting couldn't bear to see him so sad and distressed, so he said, "If Young Master had asked His Highness to stay, His Highness would have definitely—"
Luan Ting suddenly fell silent.
Because his master raised his hand to stop him from finishing his words.
"Your Highness is the Highness of all the people, and your wife is the wife of all the ministers. How can I be the only one who can monopolize her?!"
His voice was a little harsh, and he spoke more seriously. He coughed a few times and then said seriously, "Don't say such things again in the future."
"Yes, I know my mistake..."
Luan Ting sighed inwardly, then immediately stepped forward to support Qi Qingyun. His master wasn't feeling well, yet he insisted on coming to the palace every day to greet the princess. It was a cold winter, and even wrapped in outer clothing, he couldn't withstand the chill rising from his feet.
"Master, let's go back."
If you are blown by this cold wind for a while, you will feel uncomfortable again.
Qi Qingyun didn't know whether he heard it or not. He just stood there quietly, his eyes moving towards the direction where Long Chujun disappeared, staring at the darkness quietly for a long time.
Until his body was shaken by the cold wind again, he coughed violently a few times, and then reluctantly withdrew his gaze, his voice slightly hoarse:
"Let's go back..."
Watching the desolate figures of the master and servant entering the room, the three people on the roof looked at each other for a few seconds and decided to move a tile to observe his next move.
Unfortunately, the man in the room had been depressed ever since the Crown Princess left. He curled up in bed with a sad face, holding the clothes left by Long Chujun, and slowly fell asleep.
From beginning to end, there was nothing worth pondering.
