The stars and the moon are bright tonight, and the warm breeze of May blows through the quiet courtyard, bringing a hint of coolness!
The bright moonlight sprinkled on the land shrouded in darkness, revealing a tranquility that made people feel calm. The servants in each courtyard had all fallen asleep. Without the noise of the day, Yun Qianmeng, who had been tired for more than ten days, pushed open the wooden window of the inner room and quietly admired the moonlight in the sky. She felt that time flew by. It was still snowing in winter when she left the capital, but now it was almost summer!
"Although the warm breeze is extremely comfortable, there is heavy frost and dew at night, so be careful not to catch a cold!" A soft silk coat was draped over her shoulders, and then her body was embraced in a warm embrace. She knew it was Chu Feiyang without looking back!
"Is the bath over?" A faint scent of vanilla drifted from the chest behind her. Yun Qianmeng curled her lips into a smile, then relaxed her body and leaned lightly into Chu Feiyang's arms, but her eyes were still calmly looking at the crescent moon in the night sky that was emitting a lustrous luster like jade!
"What are you thinking about? Why are you so absent-minded?" Chu Feiyang could tell that Yun Qianmeng was worried, so he asked softly, but his arms went around her body, accurately holding her small hands that were resting on the window frame, and gently wrapped her hands to prevent her from catching a cold!
"Tomorrow, I will go to the Fuguo Mansion to visit the old lady and others!" Yun Qianmeng rested her head on Chu Feiyang's chest and spoke lightly!
"Just going to visit the old lady?" Chu Feiyang was not fooled by her soft voice. He held her shoulders with both hands and slowly turned her body. His black eyes that could see through people's hearts at any time stared at Yun Qianmeng and asked softly!
Yun Qianmeng pursed her lips and smiled. She couldn't help but put her arms around his waist, raised her elegant face, and looked into Chu Feiyang's dark eyes with her cunning eyes. She said mischievously, "Oh, you saw through me again!"
After he finished speaking, both of them fell silent for a moment. After a deep gaze, Yun Qianmeng raised a hand, and gently stroked Chu Feiyang's slightly furrowed brow with her delicate fingertips. She whispered, "The evidence regarding the Youzhou incident is solid. Even if father wants to deny it, it will be in vain! However, I don't want to see Grandpa sad!"
Especially tonight when they were discussing what had happened in the past few months in the room, Chu Nanshan seemed normal, but there was still a hint of loss in his expression, which made Yun Qianmeng feel a little bit uncomfortable!
Holding Yun Qianmeng's small hand that was gently stroking his brow, Chu Feiyang put it to his lips and kissed it gently, then he sighed, "I understand what you mean!" How could he want to see his most cherished grandfather showing a sad expression?
"Go to bed early! I'm sure tomorrow's morning court will be very lively!" Yun Qianmeng closed the window and spoke with a chuckle, but she was not worried at all about the situation her husband was about to face!
Seeing Yun Qianmeng with a sly smile on her face, Chu Feiyang felt a little envious, a smirk flashing across his eyes. He suddenly half-knelt down, and before Yun Qianmeng could escape, he picked her up and carried her towards the long-missed bed...
In the hazy night, a black horse galloped on a rugged mountain road. It was dark everywhere, and the low roars of wild beasts could be heard from time to time. But the man sitting firmly on the horse had a stern expression. Compared with the terrifying environment around him, his bloodthirsty and murderous face was even more frightening!
As the horses reached the middle of the mountain, the sounds of the wild beasts gradually became smaller, but a sense of oppression came from all directions. The silent night sky was filled with an lingering atmosphere of tension and fear!
"Whoosh!" Just as the horse had moved ten feet ahead, a sound of breaking through the air came from the darkness. Although the sound was subtle, it was very clear in the quiet night!
The man on horseback showed no fear at all. He held the reins tightly with his left hand, and had already drawn the sword he carried with him with his right hand!
"Dang!" The sound of arrow tip colliding with sword suddenly resounded through the dark night. A hint of contempt appeared in the man's eyes. He suddenly clamped his legs around the horse's belly, causing the horse to rush forward at an even faster speed!
'Swish... swish... swish...' The sounds of arrows from all around were coming at an increasingly frequent rate. The man swung his sword faster and faster, with a cold and sarcastic expression on his face. Until everything returned to silence, the man pulled the reins, stopped at his feet, staring coldly at the direction from which the arrows had just been shot, waiting for the person hiding inside to come out!
A rustling sound was heard, and after a while, Hai Chenxi, dressed in a black robe, slowly walked out from the darkness!
Staring at Qi Jingyuan, who was sitting on horseback with an air of pride, with his eyes full of evil smile, Hai Chenxi bowed and said, "I didn't expect that it would be the Crown Prince who came to visit. I'm so sorry for not welcoming you!"
"Is this how you treat people in your Sea King's Palace?" Qi Jingyuan put the long sword in his hand back into the scabbard and said with a sneer. His arrogant temper did not change even though Hai Chenxi came out to greet him in person!
"Your Highness, you are joking! The Sea King's Palace is located on Yangming Mountain, which is in a dangerous place and surrounded by wild beasts. It is only natural for us to take extra precautions! I just didn't expect that the Prince would come here in the middle of the night. It is really puzzling!" Hai Chenxi reacted very quickly. In just a few words, he cleared the accusation of Dai Buzhou and even accused Qi Jingyuan of coming to disturb him in the middle of the night!
"Hmph, if the Sea Prince's Palace didn't have something to hide, why would they be so mysterious? This is only halfway up the mountain, and they're already heavily guarded. Doesn't the Sea Prince's Palace on the mountain have to be impregnable?" Qi Jingyuan mocked Hai Chenxi coldly. His eyes had already scanned the people hiding in the dark, and then he sneered, "Why, is this how the Prince of Hai treats people?"
Hai Chenxi did not argue with Qi Jingyuan over this topic. He took the white horse led by the guard and quickly jumped on its back. He looked deeply at the dark mountain road in front of him and said with a faint smile, "What are you talking about, Prince? You are not a human being! Prince, please come in!"
After saying that, Hai Chenxi swung the long whip in his hand and lashed the horse hard. A white shadow rushed out in an instant...
Seeing this, the smile in Qi Jingyuan's eyes disappeared instantly, and the hostility reappeared. He followed Hai Chenxi and ran towards the Sea Palace!
When the two arrived at the Prince of the Sea's mansion, the butler, who had been waiting for them for a long time, was already standing at the gate. He hurriedly ordered someone to take their horses away and respectfully said to Qi Jingyuan, "Your servant greets the Crown Prince! Prince, the Crown Prince, the Prince is already waiting for you in the room. Let me take you in!"
As he spoke, the butler bowed and made a gesture of invitation to the two of them, then walked beside them and led them to the room!
"Father, what is Qi Jingyuan's intention in coming to the Prince of the Sea's Mansion at this time?" In the room, Hai Yue frowned and asked Hai Quan. He was still a little annoyed that Hai Quan had just sent Hai Chenxi to pick up Qi Jingyuan, but left him, the prince, aside!
"Yue'er, calm down! When Qi Jingyuan comes, we will know his purpose, right?" Hai Quan was flipping through the recent memorials, but his mind was thinking about what happened today!
Chu Feiyang has returned to the capital today. Tomorrow morning, Emperor Yugan will definitely question him in detail about the matters of Youzhou and Nanxun. At that time, there will definitely be a debate!
At this moment, everyone's attention was focused on how to punish Chu Pei! If the punishment was too severe, would Chu Feiyang harbor resentment? If it was too light, it would be difficult to convince the crowd! Regarding such a matter, Emperor Yu Gan would surely not miss the opportunity to test the attitudes of the various factions!
"Your Highness!" At this time, the butler's voice sounded outside the room!
At the same time, the door to the room was pushed open by Hai Chenxi. He walked in with a chilling air, and with his arrogant eyes, he just glanced at Hai Quan and said coldly, "The Sea King is in a very elegant mood and is enjoying the happiness of family life!"
"Your Highness is joking! Please sit down!" Hai Quan waved to the butler, and saw the butler quietly leave the room, and even quietly closed the door for his master!
"I wonder what important matter the prince has come for? Did something happen to my younger sister in Northern Qi?" Hai Yue was annoyed when he saw that Qi Jingyuan didn't even have his eyes on him, but he still spoke in a gentle and polite manner, with a faint smile on his face that was so disguised that no one could see any reluctance!
"I believe that the King of the Sea knows very well why I took the risk to come here!" Qi Jingyuan waved the robe behind him and sat down on the armchair beside him with dignity, but the expression on his face was mixed with bloodthirsty light, as if he would immediately turn against Hai Quan if he told a lie!
How could Hai Quan not understand the meaning behind Qi Jingyuan's words? He closed the memorial he was reading, his gentle eyes hiding the ambition that swelled in his heart. After a hearty smile, he said cheerfully, "As expected of the Crown Prince of Northern Qi, he even saw through this!"
As Hai Quan laughed, Qi Jingyuan merely sneered and said grimly, "Is the Sea King testing me? Are his methods too crude? Do you think your wildly imaginative plan can seduce me? Or do you think Hai Tian's angelic beauty will be able to make me dizzy and lose my judgment?"
"Haha, don't be upset, Prince! I'm only doing this for safety's sake! Since I've been seen through by the Prince, I'll offer you a glass of tea instead of wine, as an apology!" Hai Quan didn't care about the offensiveness in Qi Jingyuan's words. He picked up the teacup at hand, raised it to Qi Jingyuan, and took a sip himself!
Qi Jingyuan, however, sat there motionless, watching Hai Quan's performance in front of him with cold eyes, with more thoughts in his mind than Hai Quan's!
Qi Jingyuan's failure to raise his glass made Hai Yue frown slightly. He felt that Qi Jingyuan was arrogant and domineering just because of his status as the Crown Prince of Northern Qi. Did he think that their Sea Palace must rely on his power?
However, Hai Chenxi looked as if it had nothing to do with him. He drank his tea in silence, as if all the undercurrents in the room had nothing to do with him!
Hai Quan, however, didn't care about Qi Jingyuan's weakness at all. He put down the teacup in his hand and said shrewdly, "Since the prince is willing to take the risk to come here, he must have an answer in his mind!"
Qi Jingyuan actually smiled, and a deep calculation appeared in his cold eyes. "Of course!"
