Seeing Qing Ziyuan frowning in confusion and looking inquiring, Qing Yunyao immediately spoke up.
After these words were spoken, the doubt in Qing Ziyuan's eyes disappeared. Just for a moment, he actually felt that the Princess Yu in front of him seemed to understand him very well, and that long and deep gaze made him feel inexplicably uncomfortable in his heart.
"Princess Yu, I heard from my father that you and Prince Yu once saved my brother. I would like to thank you, Princess Yu and Princess Yu."
Qing Ziyuan bowed in the direction of Qing Yue.
Qing Yue's eyes were moist and she looked away slightly.
Her eldest brother is like this, with a cold and tough temperament, upright and incorruptible, and a clear sense of right and wrong, very much like their father.
"I have rushed back from the border to see my brother off and to see the murderer punished. As for the misunderstanding and grudge between my sister and the princess, I believe we can clarify it today. I just thought the princess and my sister were just playing around, and this matter ends here."
Qing Ziyuan's voice was sonorous and righteous.
He mentioned Qing Zhan's life-saving grace, and also mentioned the scene where she had strangled Qing Yunyao's neck just now. He brought up both the gratitude and the resentment together, as if to write them off at once. This was the character of the eldest brother.
Qingyue twitched the corners of her mouth.
Qing Ziyuan was looking at her, waiting for her response.
As for Qing Yunyao, she was just watching the joke. Listening to Qing Ziyuan calling her "big brother" and looking at Qing Yue with red eyes, she felt so happy in her heart.
The next moment, Qing Yue in front of him suddenly shook her head.
"Brother, there will be a fight between her and me until death."
The finger pointed straight at Qing Yunyao's face.
The words "big brother" and "fight until death" made Qing Ziyuan's face suddenly dark as the sea of ink.
Qing Yunyao's pupils shrank. She could see that Qing Yue had been forced into a desperate situation. Was she even trying to hide it? But what could she do? Who would believe her? Who could prove she was the real Qing Yue? They had grown up together, and she knew most of what Qing Yue knew, not to mention she had a backup plan. But looking at Qing Yue like this, she had nothing left. Haha... Now, she could only rely on her mouth to satisfy her desire and act mysteriously.
"Qin Wan, you..."
Qing Yunyao pretended to be angry and scolded.
Before he could finish his words, he heard Qing Ziyuan beside him say coldly, "Princess Yu, what do you mean by that? Also, I am not worthy of being called your big brother."
Qing Yue didn't answer Qing Ziyuan's words. She just looked at the two of them deeply, turned around and headed towards the palace gate. In the distance, she could hear the sound of a children's song, "The sky is vast, the wilderness is boundless. My brother got up to learn carpentry. The small figure sat on the doorstep, carving a knife on the left and a sword on the right..."
Qing Ziyuan froze in place, his heart trembling. His memory was brought back to his childhood by the ballad. He was a little boy who had a hobby since he was young, carving. Back then, he would get up early and sit at the doorstep, concentrating on carving swords and knives, not going anywhere. His little sister was only a few years old, and was the most noisy. She always wanted to go out and play, and would always come to disturb him.
He was cold and silent and didn't want to pay attention to his little sister, so she would sing nursery rhymes around him in a crisp voice, and she had been singing them for many years. These rhymes were all composed by her little sister.
"Girl, did you also tell Pingyang about this ballad?"
Suddenly, Qing Ziyuan asked.
When Qing Yunyao heard Qing Yue singing the nursery rhyme, her heart skipped a beat. This Qing Yue really had bad intentions. However, even if she tried to do something sneaky, it would be useless because no one would recognize her.
"Well, big brother, I've always been good friends with that girl Pingyang. I tell her everything. Now that Pingyang is getting close to Qin Wan, I guess she'll tell her everything too. That girl has always been simple-minded."
Qing Yunyao lowered her eyes and said.
Qing Ziyuan frowned and said nothing. He couldn't say whether his impression of Princess Yu was good or bad, as he had heard it all from his family.
As for his father, he seemed to be grateful to the Princess Qin Wan, but his sister and Prince You were extremely disgusted with her.
As for him, he traveled thousands of miles just to find out the truth about his second brother's death.
"Um."
Qing Ziyuan nodded, and this episode was over.
"Brother, aren't we going in?"
Qing Yunyao asked. Chu Yan had already gone in. She was waiting here specifically for Qing Yue, just to provoke her or even spy on her.
"Wait a moment, Dad and Mom are behind us, we'll come together to see the emperor when the time comes."
"Has mother also come to the palace?"
Qing Yunyao looked up and asked.
Qing Ziyuan nodded. "It was your second brother who got into trouble. How could Mother sit still if she knew the truth? She must find out who killed A-Zhan."
Qing Yunyao's pupils flickered, and when she looked up, she saw Qing Leishan and Rong Wan coming together.
"Dad and Mom."
Qing Yunyao hurriedly spoke and stepped forward to meet him.
…
Chongyang Palace.
In the hall, the emperor sat in the highest guarding position with a gloomy look on his face. Empress Xiao sat there with a stern face. Concubine Feng's eyes were a little red and she looked a little haggard.
Chu Yan and Feng Ling both arrived and sat on each side. The atmosphere in the hall was cold and tense.
When Qingyue entered the hall, everyone raised their eyes and Emperor Chu's expression eased a little. This was mainly because Qingyue and Fengling had encountered a fire together last night. The burns on their faces were still very obvious, and it was obvious that they had suffered.
Sitting next to Concubine Feng were the eldest princess and Princess Pingyang, in the same seats as the last time she entered the palace.
When Pingyang saw Qingyue entering the palace, she stared at her with her eyes, as if she had a lot to say, but Qingyue just glanced at her and didn't even meet her eyes.
Pingyang pouted, feeling anxious and depressed.
Qing Yue bowed and walked to Feng Ling's side. Feng Ling naturally held her hand and played with it gently in his hand.
He leaned in his wheelchair, looking unruly and indifferent.
Seeing this scene, Concubine Feng blinked her beautiful eyes. Her son and Wan'er had made such rapid progress? Had they talked it out? Her mood suddenly brightened a lot. It seemed that Qin Ningyue's incident had not caused any trouble for the two children, but had instead brought them closer together.
At this time, footsteps were heard outside the hall. Qing Yunyao and Qing Ziyuan entered the hall, followed closely by Qing Leishan and Rong Wan.
Qingyue followed her father and mother closely with her eyes, and tears almost fell from her eyes after just one glance.
But in just ten days, Daddy's hair had turned half white, and Mommy looked even thinner, with the dark circles under her eyes no longer concealed. It was obvious that she hadn't slept well for several days.
Qing Yue quickly looked away, fearing that she would lose control of her emotions.
"I pay my respects to the Emperor."
"This old minister and his wife pay their respects to the Emperor."
They all bowed together.
"Everyone, get up."
The King of Chu raised his hand.
"Please take a seat."
The King of Chu said.
As everyone sat down, Emperor Chu finally spoke, "In just a few days, quite a lot has happened..."
