Murong Jingyu's face was full of admiration, and his eyes seemed to be shining with light, as dazzling as the brightest stars in the night sky.
Anyone who saw this look would immediately understand that he had great respect for someone.
“Yeah, it’s really good!”
After hearing this, Qu Yan and Qu Shang nodded in unison.
At this moment, they already knew that Murong Jingyu in front of them must have been an absolute little fanboy back then.
And the person this little fanboy is obsessed with is their mother.
However, when they looked at each other, they saw a hint of shock in each other's eyes.
Because in their previous understanding, their mother seemed to be very different from the image described by Murong Jingyu.
Could it be that their understanding of their mother has never been comprehensive and in-depth enough? Or is there some unknown secret hidden in it?
Thinking of this, the brother and sister couldn't help but fall into deep thought. At this moment, an idea suddenly flashed through Qu Yan's mind.
"So that's how it is. My brother's outstanding business talent is actually inherited from my mother!"
She murmured to herself, and although her voice was not loud, Qu Shang beside her still heard it clearly.
There was a hint of thought in his eyes...
While thinking this, Murong Jingyu on the other side continued to speak.
"Your parents are actually very loving. In the early stages of their relationship, those people in the royal family actually looked down on your mother's status.
But your father is not as easy to control as those people think. He solves problems with ruthless means.
He and your mother rose to the pinnacle of power and governed the empire well thereafter.
But... the empire has long been extremely corrupt, with constant internal and external troubles. No matter how capable they are, they are not gods.
It was at this time that news came from somewhere about the Qu family, the royal family of the Haohan Empire.
They have guarded the secrets of ascension for generations, and some even have the power to overthrow the world."
As he spoke, Murong Jingyu's expression became much uglier.
Apparently the memory went back to that time.
"None of us knew what it was, and no one believed our explanation. And that's how the war began.
The other two countries joined forces with some forces to attack Haohan. Your father led his troops and drove all these guys back to their own fiefdoms.
However, because his body could not bear it, he died on the way back to the imperial capital.
Your mother also disappeared after your father's death, and the lamps of life in the imperial temples also dimmed.
We all know that she has already..."
When Murong Jingyu said this, Qu Yan and Qu Shang suddenly looked up at Murong Jingyu.
Qu Yan and Qu Shang, brother and sister, had already sensed something was wrong with his words.
But they didn't express it, and only when these words came out did they look up.
Perhaps the meaning of their looks was too obvious, Murong Jingyu paused and suddenly smiled.
"You are indeed very clever. What I just said is actually what the current emperor says to the outside world.
Actually… although we don’t fully understand the truth, I’m afraid it’s very different from the actual situation.
The rumors that suddenly emerged were strange, the sudden attacks of those countries were strange, and your father's expedition was strange.
Your mother's disappearance and everything that happened afterwards seem to be shrouded in mystery.
The only thing we can be sure of is that all of this is closely related to the current emperor, your uncle."
Murong Jingyu's eyes flashed with murderous intent, as if he couldn't wait to kill the other person.
However, Qu Yan and Qu Shang, who were as delicate as silk, were like sharp hunters and quickly captured one of the most important words - "we".
As soon as he finished speaking, Murong Jingyu blinked his bright and deep eyes on his handsome face for a moment, and there was a hint of embarrassment in his expression, as if a secret had been exposed by someone, but at the same time he looked a bit innocent.
"That's right, it's us~"
At this moment, a charming voice, like the sound of a yellow oriole, suddenly echoed from behind everyone. This sudden sound was like a heavy hammer hitting Qu Yan's heart, making her shudder with fear.
With Qu Shang's strong support, Qu Yan stood up shakily and turned around with a look of astonishment on her face.
As far as the eye could see, a woman in gorgeous clothes appeared quietly behind them.
The woman lazily reclined on an exquisite chaise longue, her figure graceful and charming, exuding a captivating charm. When she noticed the gazes of the three people, she slowly sat up straight.
Immediately afterwards, the woman walked over with light steps and finally stopped in front of Qu Yan and Qu Shang.
She narrowed her eyes slightly, examining their faces carefully as if admiring a rare treasure, and murmured softly.
“It’s really beautiful…”
As she spoke, the woman couldn't help but raise a slender hand as white as jade, as if to touch Qu Yan's beautiful face.
In the blink of an eye, Qu Shang, who had been silent with a slightly concentrated look in his eyes, suddenly made a move and grabbed the woman's wrist with lightning speed.
At the same time, he moved sideways swiftly, protecting Qu Yan firmly behind him, and acted as if he was facing a formidable enemy and was extremely vigilant.
"Hey~ Don't be so nervous, I'm a girl too, so a touch should be..."
