Qing Zhan pursed his lips and did not speak immediately. He suppressed his suspicions, but his vigilance rose a little. No matter what, no one in Prince You's Mansion could be trusted at this time.
"It's okay."
Qing Zhan shook his head.
"The poison hasn't cleared up yet, and I haven't rested well, so I'm not in good spirits. But I'm also weighed down by something. Who do you think did this? They poisoned me and then you too. This person is quite capable."
Qing Zhan explained and then asked in confusion.
Chu Yan lowered his eyes, thinking of what happened that night. When he raised them again, the coldness in his eyes had deepened by three points. He said coldly, "This assassin is unusual. He said something that I don't understand. However, I have a misconception that there is an invisible person behind the scenes plotting a grand game against the Qing family and me."
Qing Zhan was very cautious and didn't say a single unnecessary word.
Looking at Chu Yan's puzzled and thoughtful look, who knows if he is acting?
Before Qing Zhan could speak, Chu Yan continued, "That female assassin's words and deeds actually seemed to indicate that she had come to avenge you. I always felt something was amiss, but now I think it might be to sow discord between me and the Qing family."
Chu Yan said again.
Qing Zhan cautiously did not respond.
…
On the other side, Qing Yunyao went to the ghost's house and told him that Qing Zhan was back and wanted to visit him with Chu Yan.
There wasn't even a candle lit in the ghost's room, it was pitch black. Hearing Qing Yunyao's words, he chuckled twice, "What did he say?"
The ghost's hoarse and low voice sounded.
Qing Yunyao then repeated Qing Zhan's words.
"Master, you are right. Qingyue is indeed not dead. However, I severely injured and disfigured her and kicked her off the cliff. Even if she had survived, she would have looked like a ghost. She did not dare to show her true face to anyone. She did reveal her identity to Qingzhan, but he thought she was crazy. It seems that the two of them even had a conflict. My second brother told me about this as soon as he came back."
Qing Yunyao seemed very proud when she spoke.
"Is that so... That's easy then."
Hearing Qing Yunyao's words, the ghost in the shadows sighed twice.
"Master, your trick of luring the snake out of its hole is indeed very useful. Now, as long as we can find Qingyue's hiding place, we can capture her and definitely find what you want."
Qing Yunyao gritted her teeth.
Whenever she thought of Qingyue hurting Brother Ayan, she wanted to skin her alive and pull out her tendons.
I didn't kill her more than three years ago, but if she falls into her hands again this time, I will make sure she is dead without a burial place.
"Send someone to keep a close eye on Prince Qing's mansion. Since she's not dead, she'll definitely reappear. As soon as she does, notify your master immediately."
"Yes, Master."
Qing Yunyao nodded. She knew what to do even if her master didn't tell her.
"Master, my elder brother Ayan and my second elder brother want to visit you. Should I bring them here to meet you?"
Qing Yunyao whispered.
"No need. I have some things to do here, so I'll be away for a few days. If you have any news, you can come to the old place to find me."
"Master, are you leaving?"
Qing Yunyao asked anxiously. She had finally managed to get her master to live in the palace and didn't want him to leave at all.
"Um."
"Master, can you please not..."
Qing Yunyao wanted to discuss something, but the foreigner glanced at her with his gloomy eyes. Qing Yunyao suddenly didn't dare to speak. Her master had a strange temper, and she never dared to question the decisions he made.
"Master, take care of yourself. If you have any questions, please let me know."
Qing Yunyao gave a few instructions, and the ghost waved his hand, put on his black robe, opened the door, and disappeared into the night.
Qing Yunyao returned to the house, and Qing Zhan raised his head, "Little sister, how is it? Did Senior Wushuang agree to my visit?"
Qing Zhan spoke hurriedly. He came here today and learned such a big news. Naturally, he wanted to see the true appearance of Senior Wushuang. He would also talk about this matter with his younger sister after leaving Prince You's Mansion.
Chu Yan also raised his eyes.
Qing Yunyao shook her head, "Master said he had something to do and has already left."
"I see."
Qing Zhan's eyes flickered, and there seemed to be some regret in his tone.
"Master is like that. He comes and goes without a trace. It's hard for me to even see him once. It's really my good fortune that I happened to meet Master back this time. I'll wait for the next opportunity."
Qing Yunyao explained on the side.
"Then we'll wait until next time, when Senior Wushuang wants to see us, and then we'll visit."
Chu Yan spoke up to smooth things over. He didn't think there was anything wrong. Instead, he thought more about it. Old Man Wushuang was a mysterious person. When he married Yue'er, the old man never showed up. Yue'er never mentioned this matter over the years. It can be seen that the old man is indeed a low-key person. If he hadn't happened to come to Kyoto this time and found him poisoned, the old man would probably not show up and expose his identity.
In addition, as for Feng Ling, my father will definitely come to ask the old senior to treat her.
But can Feng Ling’s legs be cured?
It was obviously a wise move for the old senior to leave at this time.
Thinking of this, Chu Yan couldn't help but smile, as if he saw through the old man's clever actions. Thinking that this old senior was Yue'er's master, Chu Yan felt even more proud. The girl he liked was indeed unique and was accepted as his apprentice by the old senior.
"In that case, Second Brother will leave first. It's getting late."
Qing Zhan stood up and said goodbye.
Having received useful information, he would not stay any longer.
"Second brother, I'll see you off."
"No, just take good care of your brother-in-law. I'll come back another day."
Qing Zhan waved his hand, looking very cool.
Knowing that his second brother was not a polite person, Qing Yue nodded and called the guards to send Qing Zhan out.
After leaving Prince You's Mansion, Qing Zhan walked forward for a while, then turned and headed towards Prince Yu's Mansion. He had to tell his younger sister the news so that she could prepare early.
Pingyang climbed over the wall to get out. She had been under house arrest by her mother before. She learned about Qing Zhan's poisoning from the servants' conversation. She was so anxious that she immediately climbed over the wall and ran to Qing's house. But she was too late. Qing Zhan was missing. Pingyang immediately sent her men out to look for him, but although she was a princess, she had no one useful under her.
After all the fuss, there was no news at all, and her mother scolded her and told her to stay at home and not go anywhere.
But just one day later, she heard that Qing Zhan had returned! She was surprised, happy, and even more worried. She then climbed over the wall and came out again, heading straight to Qing's house. However, she learned that Qing Zhan had gone to Prince You's Mansion, so Princess Pingyang chased him without stopping.
Because it was night time, she was afraid that her mother would stop her from going out, so she went out quietly, without even taking a servant with her. She ran all the way on foot, cursing Qing Zhan all the way.
As soon as I arrived at Prince You's Mansion, I saw Qing Zhan coming out of the mansion.
Her eyes lit up, and just as she was about to say hello, she saw a man in a black robe emerge from the shadows, following behind Qing Zhan...
