The midday sun was shining brightly, shining down on the ground. The small garden was full of flowers and plants, but it was not in full bloom at this moment. They were just trimmed into shape and looked light green. There was a very tall cherry tree in the yard, which stood out particularly and cast a shadow.
Qing Yue was standing in the shadow.
She was wearing a light yellow dress today, which made her look more gentle, but the aura around her was cool. She stood with her back to the sun, as if blending into the shadow of the tree.
Chu Yan came over at this time. He walked on the bluestone road, but he forgot the beautiful figure under the cherry tree at a glance.
But suddenly, my heart skipped a beat for no apparent reason.
He vaguely recalled that many years ago, it was also here that the cherry tree bore fruit for the first time. His Yue'er brought him to the mansion and picked all the cherries on the tree, leaving none for Qing Zhan. He was so angry that he kept yelling about it for several months, even though the cherry tree only grew seven or eight cherries that year.
Yue'er had forgotten many old things, and he rarely mentioned them again.
Seeing her standing there, his thoughts surged up in his mind, and he couldn't help but soften his voice and shouted out.
Hearing the voice, Qing Yue suddenly turned around.
Their eyes met, and they were both stunned. Then Chu Yan's eyes turned cold, and he said coldly, "Why are you here?"
The disgust in his tone seemed undisguised.
Chu Yan was indeed feeling rather uncomfortable at the moment. He had actually mistaken Qin Wan's silhouette for Yue'er? This mistake had made him feel even worse.
How could he have mistaken Yue'er?
"Prince You's question is very strange. Can't I be here?"
Qing Yue was already feeling extremely upset, and now seeing Chu Yan, she felt even worse. Especially since he had just called her "Yue'er"? Haha, hearing those two words coming out of his mouth made her feel incredibly sick.
"If you can be here, why can't I?"
Qing Yue sneered repeatedly.
Chu Yan's face turned completely cold, but he didn't get angry. Instead, he sneered, "You compare yourself to this king?"
This sentence, this sneer, was full of sarcasm.
"Compared to the prince, I can't compare. After all, compared to the prince's ruthlessness and stealth, Qin Wan is ashamed of himself."
Qing Yue sneered.
Chu Yan's face turned cold.
"Qin Wan, what did you say?"
Chu Yan didn't expect that Qin Wan was so bold as to say such disrespectful words in front of him.
Facing his icy anger, Qing Yue seemed not to notice it and simply said, "After all these years, when you wake up in the middle of the night, Your Highness, aren't you afraid that those people you killed will come back to seek revenge?"
"presumptuous!"
This sentence made Chu Yan snort coldly. Then Chu Yan waved his hand, and the palm wind as sharp as a knife flew directly towards Qin Wan's cheek.
He had long disliked this woman and had not even forgotten that she had injured Yue'er's back of the hand at the eldest princess' birthday banquet.
Qin Wan's pupils shrank, he tilted his head, then took two steps back to the side. The palm wind brushed past his ear and hit the small garden behind him, causing leaves to fall to the ground.
Chu Yan's eyes were filled with murderous intent and disgust. He withdrew his attack after one move, both as a deterrent and a warning. He said, "Qin Wan, one must know when to stop and be self-aware. I will spare your life for the sake of my sixth brother, but one day, when you leave Prince Yu's Mansion, I will see if you can still be as rampant as you are today."
Chu Yan was angry for only a moment before he calmed down.
He is not an irritable person, but Qin Wan in front of him always provokes his emotions, making him disgusted and irritated.
"Okay, let's wait for that day to come. I also want to see my own fate... or the prince's fate."
Qing Yue said coldly, staring at the man in front of her who had just attacked her, her heart already bleeding.
Chu Yan's cold eyes flashed.
The two men's eyes met, one with murderous intent, the other with hidden hatred and anger.
"Brother Ayan..."
At this moment, Qing Yunyao's voice sounded from a distance. She came quickly with a panicked look on her face, and even her voice unconsciously increased by three points.
When she was inside the house, she couldn't find a chance to talk to Qin Wan. After settling her mother, she found a chance to come out, but she saw Chu Yan and Qin Wan standing there, facing each other, and she didn't know what they were talking about. Her whole heart suddenly skipped a beat, almost jumping out of her chest.
What is Qin Wan talking about?
Is she telling Brother Yan what happened three years ago?
Qing Yunyao walked up quickly and threw herself into Chu Yan's arms.
"Brother Ayan, you're here."
The moment he received Qing Yunyao's call, the coldness in Chu Yan's eyes disappeared completely, "How is Qing Er?"
After hearing Chu Yan's voice and seeing that there was no change in his expression, Qing Yunyao finally breathed a sigh of relief. She was now like a frightened bird, not knowing whether Qing Yue was dead or not, nor whether anyone had witnessed what happened on the top of Luoye Mountain more than three years ago. She was even more afraid that her brother Ayan would lose the truth...
In the past three years, she has had everything she had ever dreamed of and is absolutely unwilling to lose it.
Qing Yunyao shook her head, and her eyes immediately turned red. "There's still no way. Even the imperial doctors are helpless."
"I've found a few more doctors here, they'll be here soon."
"Um."
Qing Yunyao nodded with red eyes.
Seeing the two of them acting hypocritically, Qing Yue's eyes turned cold. At this moment, she heard Qing Yunyao say, "Brother Ayan, go over and take a look. Prince Yu is talking to Dad. I'll be here to talk to my sixth brother's wife for a while."
Chu Yan frowned and said, "Come with me."
He was not at all confident about Qing Yue being with Qin Wan. This woman was too evil and had bad intentions.
"I just came from there. I felt bad staying there."
Qing Yunyao shook her head and leaned closer to Chu Yan and whispered, "Brother Yan, I know you're worried that she'll hurt me. Don't worry, it's okay. I can protect myself. Besides, this is the General's Mansion, it's my home."
"Well, call me if you need anything."
Chu Yan gave a few instructions before leaving. Before leaving, he glanced coldly at Qin Wan.
After Chu Yan left, only Qing Yue and Qing Yunyao were left in the small garden. Without outsiders, the sadness and grief on her face disappeared instantly. She walked to Qin Wan, looked at the cherry tree and said, "It seems that this cherry tree was planted for me by my second brother. It's a pity that my second brother will never be able to eat these cherries again..."
The tone sounded like regret, but it was also full of schadenfreude.
As if this wasn't enough, she continued, "Qin Wan, my second brother is dying. Are you happy or sad?"
