Chapter 49 Chapter 49 If I don’t want her to be my sister…
Madam Yun Li was shocked. Looking at Yun Qin's gloomy and sinister expression, her voice trembled: "Qin'er, calm down."
Yun Qin lost his usual calm and gentle demeanor. He was silent for a moment, then said self-deprecatingly, "Aunt, I lost my composure today. I'm sorry."
Madam Yunli's eyes were filled with worry. She approached Yunqin, her gaze fixed on the room. "So, you always knew that Ai Ai was a fake?"
Yun Qin remained silent, but did not deny it.
Madam Yun Li staggered, having thought it was Yun Yan's fault. But now it seemed that it was just fate. However, Yun Qin clearly knew the truth, so why did he still protect her?
Yun Qin sat beside the wooden steps, with a trace of blood at the corner of his lips, which was caused by the excessive loss of internal energy and the disturbed mind.
Madam Yun Li saw that Yun Qin had calmed down a bit, so she stepped under the eaves and stood beside him, hesitantly saying, "Then Ai Ai..."
"Her name is Jiang Daiyi. Fourteen years ago, she was abducted by Tianque and trained as an assassin. She infiltrated to gather information about the Yun family, or perhaps she had some other purpose."
Yun Qin calmed down completely. Madam Yun Li couldn't imagine that he had suppressed himself for so many years. No wonder he always had an almost paranoid desire to shackle Jiang Daiyi.
He didn't tell the elders about Yun Yi's death, and secretly concealed Jiang Daiyi's identity. If Yun Qing and Yun Yan knew about it, I'm afraid...
Seeing that he didn't care at all, Madam Yunli sighed softly.
The dead are gone, and after going through so much, Madam Yun Li only wants Yun Qin to be well. She hesitated for a moment, but still asked, "So now, do you treat her as your concubine?"
Yun Qin's eyes darkened when he heard this. After a long pause, he said softly, "Aunt, she is just her, not just anyone else."
Madam Yun Li didn't understand. Now that she knew the truth, she should get everything back on track. "Then..."
"Aunt," Yun Qin interrupted Madam Yun Li calmly, "Please build a cenotaph for Ai Ai."
The setting sun in the west wind and the chill of the autumn rain soaked Yunqin's body. His mind suddenly became clear, as if he had returned to those dark days when all hope was lost.
Back then, the human-faced ghost's tormenting torture day after day destroyed Yun Qin's mind. He didn't know when this kind of pain would end.
The water of the cold pond spread over the shore, and Yun Qin allowed the frost flower poison to soak into the rain and corrode his body.
"Don't you feel any pain?" The little girl's hoarse voice came into his ears.
The little girl was Jiang Daiyi in her youth. She seemed to have an eye disease. She could see things, but not clearly. She tapped him with the wooden stick in her hand and asked in confusion, "What are you doing soaking in this ice?"
Yun Qin didn't know what to do. He wanted to become strong, but unfortunately the person he wanted to protect was no longer there. Now he was more like a purposeless self-torture. Only in this way could he temporarily forget the pain in his heart.
"Why aren't you talking?" Jiang Daiyi was wary, but she wasn't worried he would hurt her, because anyone who dared to approach the cold pond was definitely not from Tianque. "You probably aren't from Tianque, so why did you come here?"
Jiang Daiyi had seen many doctors who were proficient in medicine in the cold forest. They brought people who were poisoned to the cold pond to detoxify them. She guessed that he was also here to detoxify them.
But he said nothing, and his whole body exuded the word "unhappiness".
Jiang Daiyi didn't dare to be as fierce as Yunqin. She didn't dare to get close to the cold pond water, so she could only stay away from him and comfort him: "Don't be unhappy, I'll tell you my story."
Yun Qin turned his eyes to Jiang Daiyi.
Jiang Daiyi didn't care whether he wanted to listen or not, and continued to speak: "I'm not originally from here. I was very happy. I have parents and friends. But one day, I suddenly ended up here. I don't know how to explain it to you. Anyway, I will never see my relatives again, and I can't go back to my hometown."
"What about you? Why are you unhappy?"
It has been a long time since anyone asked Yunqin why he was unhappy. He almost forgot what it felt like to have a heart-to-heart talk with someone.
Yun Qin looked at the ragged Jiang Daiyi and said in a hoarse voice, "I don't have a sister anymore."
Jiang Daiyi smiled and asked, "How about I be your sister?"
Yun Qin didn't answer her. Jiang Daiyi felt a little disappointed. "That's right. You might just be here to detoxify. Besides, you and your sister must have a very good relationship. How could you recognize someone else as your sister?"
Jiang Daiyi placed a small bottle on the shore. "I don't know how many days I can live, so I'll leave this good medicine to you. Don't be unhappy. If you have nowhere to rely on, why not work hard to make this world a better place, even though it may be difficult..."
Yun Qin's fierce eyes softened because of these words. If it weren't for the chaos in the world, he and his sister wouldn't have been forced to flee the Yun family because of the power struggle, and his sister wouldn't have died.
Jiang Daiyi seemed to have other concerns and could not stay by the cold pond for long. She reminded Yunqin: "Brother, you must take the medicine carefully. Once the poison is cured, leave here quickly. It hurts to be soaked in the cold pond water."
Yun Qin's eyebrows were as white as snow. He watched Jiang Daiyi leave indifferently. After a long time, he reached out and took the medicine and opened it. It was indeed a good medicine.
The human-faced ghost descended from the cedar tree and, looking at the slightly moved young man, jokingly said, "She's an assassin from within the Heavenly Palace. Looking at the scars on her body, you know she's no pushover. So, do you really want to take her in as your sister?"
Yun Qin tilted his head back and poured the medicine from the small bottle into his mouth. Bitterness spread in his mouth. He chewed it slowly and swallowed it all. He did not answer the question of the human-faced ghost.
But every day after that, the human-faced ghost saw Yunqin seemed to be waiting for the little girl. He was looking forward to the little girl coming to the cold pond again.
But the little girl never appeared again.
Once a person gets a little warmth in the dark and painful situation, he will always have expectations. So Yun Qin never wanted to lose that little warmth. He concealed the news of his sister's death and returned to the Yun family.
The first thing he did after returning to the Yun family was to pretend to help Yun Yan expand the power of the Yun family and offer advice to King Xianglin to quell the rebellion and consolidate his own position. Yun Qin secretly cultivated his own people and gradually swallowed up Yun Yan's power.
He deliberately spread the news that the Yun family was going to search for his sister, allowing Tianque to successfully send Jiang Daiyi to infiltrate the Yun family. Everything was under Yun Qin's control.
Yun Qin knew that Jiang Daiyi was extremely smart and not easy to fool. The only thing he had to do was to turn a blind eye and let her pass the news about the Yun family to Tianque, and then pretend to be suspicious and question her.
Only by keeping a person in a state of anxiety and tension at all times can she concentrate and focus on dealing with the things at hand, without having time to think about anything else, whether it is the situation or not.
Over the past seven years, Yun Qin has been able to handle the confrontation with Jiang Daiyi with ease.
But as she grew up, she became less and less under his control. The King of Wei arranged for her to interfere, and her purpose was clear: she wanted to use the King of Wei to seize power in Tianque.
She can win over people's hearts by bewitching and winning them over. The large group of Tianque assassins she rescued not long ago have now all been incorporated into Song Lai's army. It is self-evident what she wants to do.
That day it seemed that it was King Xianglin who was causing trouble, imprisoning Yunqin and making things difficult for Jiang Daiyi, but little did people know that Jiang Daiyi had put herself in the situation. She knew that Yunqin would definitely save her, and she wanted him to leave the palace.
Jiang Dai wanted Yun Qin to be unable to help King Xianglin. She wanted King Xianglin to lose the support of the people as soon as possible. Once King Xianglin lost the support of the people, Song Lai would be loyal to him blindly and die-hard. Then, in the end, Song Lai's army would also be cursed by the people.
The State of Yan has been in chaos these days, with rumors spreading everywhere. The people's resentment towards King Xianglin has reached a peak. Unfortunately, Song Lai suffered a defeat, and King Xianglin has lost most of the people's support.
If Yun Qin does not go back to take charge of the situation now, there will definitely be Jiang Daiyi's men in Song Lai's army who will spread rumors to shake the morale of the army. Jiang Daiyi knows that he will definitely go back, so at that time, it will be time for her to use Yun Qin's hand to pull Song Lai down.
Jiang Dai planned this game very well, but unfortunately, Yun Qin still saw through it in the King of Wei's tent.
Once Song Lai encounters resistance from the people, the army will inevitably turn to Yun Qin under the pressure of public opinion. At that time, part of the power in the army will inevitably be controlled by Jiang Daiyi.
The evening air was chilling, and Madam Yun Li interrupted Yun Qin's thoughts, "Qin'er, she is indeed from Tianque. If the common people knew about this, I'm afraid they would harbor resentment towards the Yun family."
Yun Qin's face was as thin as a cloud, "Let's end this over there early."
Seeing that Yun Qin was confident, Madam Yun Li didn't want to interfere. In fact, she had long regarded Jiang Daiyi as her own relative, but she had to explain her identity to the people. Since Yun Qin already had a plan in mind, she no longer worried.
Madam Yun Li reminded Yun Qin of another matter, "Yan State is no match for Qian State and has already lost two cities in a row. Do you want to go back and stabilize the morale of the army now?"
Yun Qin said, "The King of Qian hates killing the most. So what's the harm in giving him two cities? Being a subject of King Qian is better than being a subject of King Xianglin."
Madam Yun Li couldn't understand Yun Qin's actions: "Are you trying to use this opportunity to criticize Prince Xianglin?"
Yun Qin said, "Prince Xianglin relies on the Yun family's protection to achieve his current power, but his virtue is unworthy of his position. I will not tolerate this any longer. I must make him realize that although he is a king, he is also under my control. If he dares to resist, he will bear the consequences of being demoted."
Madam Yun Li was startled: "Qin'er, you..."
Yun Qin made no secret of his ambition, "Aunt, this world has been in chaos for too long."
Madam Yun Li knew long ago that Yun Qin was no ordinary man, and that his cunning was worthy of his ambition.
However, regarding Jiang Daiyi, Madam Yunli and Yun Qin discussed, "Aunt will continue to call her ��. Seven years of friendship are indeed true, and I'm sure you'll find it hard to let go. Although she's not your sister, if you wish, Aunt can adopt her as your adopted daughter and make it known to the world. From now on, she will have no further connection with Tianque. She will still be your sister."
Yun Qin's expression remained unchanged upon hearing this, but a gloomy look appeared in his eyes. "Aunt, what if I don't want her to be my sister?"
