Chapter 69: Seize the Opportunity to Make a Decision

ighed softly before saying, "The Crown Prince hasn’t slept these three days and nights either; he has been sending people to search for you and Lord Xie..."“Hmph, I doubt that’s true. He's only trying...Chapter 69: When Something Must Be Cut, It Should Be Done So

Yun Qianyue discovered that wherever there was Rong Jing, the air in that place would be filled with a scent reminiscent of snow and lotus flowers. Even the thick smoke from the burning grain in the military council camp couldn't dispel his presence or the faint fragrance around him. She wondered how someone like him could exist, someone whose mere presence seemed to transform the very air.

"What are you thinking about" Rong Jing lifted his head after laughing and his eyes were still filled with a deep smile.

"I was wondering where that loud noise came from," Yun Qianyue asked, smiling. She had originally thought that the two grain silos in the center of the military council camp had been planned by him since last year's autumn. This was something she didn't know about.

"The sound they heard wasn't coming from inside the silo but on top of it. Someone went up to the roof and made a commotion, creating an opportunity for two skilled martial artists to enter the silo, set fire to the grain, and leave before anyone realized what happened," Rong Jing explained.

"So that's how it was!" Yun Qianyue thought about how high-level skills must have been used to avoid the emperor’s covert surveillance. Moreover, such swift actions were completed within seconds! She looked at Rong Jing with a smile and said, "You’ve got quite capable people under you!"

"Mutual compliments!" Rong Jing replied with a smile.

Yun Qianyue gave a cold snort. “My most powerful commander is Feng Jin, but he was bullied away by you!”

"Feng Jin has another important task; besides, when one leaves, another arrives—like the Third Young Master! In any case, we're not lacking for people," Rong Jing said with a raised eyebrow and added: "The Third Young Master is no worse than Feng Jin!"

“Yeah, that’s true! Then I’ll forgive you for bullying Feng Jin,” Yun Qianyue nodded, smiling.

Rong Jing lightly kissed the corner of her lips and said softly, “Be good!”

Yun Qianyue's eyelids flickered; just as she was about to say something, a faint scream came from afar. Her smile faded instantly, and she sat up straight in Rong Jing’s arms, asking him, "Did you hear any sounds"

"Yes, I heard them!" Rong Jing nodded.

Yun Qianyue squinted her eyes, listened carefully once more, then frowned and said, “It's Princess Qing Wan!” She then told Rong Jing, "Cloud Muhan and Princess Qing Wan went to Xi Yan Lake. I heard the sounds coming from there; something must have happened. I’ll go take a look. Since you’re injured, don’t come!"

"Alright," Rong Jing nodded.

Yun Qianyue leapt onto White Crimson Phoenix’s back and urged it forward with the reins. The horse immediately galloped toward Xi Yan Lake; Black Crimson Phoenix followed Yun Qianyue as she rode away.

Rong Jing lifted the curtain to see Yun Qianyue and her horse already several dozen zhang (Chinese unit of length) ahead in a moment. He looked towards Xi Yan Lake, pursed his lips slightly, and told Xian Ge, "Let’s go take a look!"

"Yes," Xian Ge had heard the sounds too. Although Yun Qianyue left instructions for him to stay behind, he knew that Young Master Rong would certainly be worried if Yun Qianyue went alone. He flicked his whip, and their carriage turned toward Xi Yan Lake.

Yun Qianyue urged her horse forward at full speed; as she neared Xi Yan Lake, she couldn’t hear the commotion anymore. She focused intently ahead with her eyes while probing the area ahead with true qi (inner energy). There were around ten people fighting in the distance, and their movements suggested they had exceptional martial arts skills and sinister intentions. Yun Qianyue pursed her lips as White Crimson Phoenix galloped swiftly.

They arrived at Xi Yan Lake within a short while. Indeed, several black-clothed men were besieging a man in fine clothing who was holding a woman with disheveled hair and torn clothes; the man's body was covered in blood but his appearance remained recognizable—this was Cloud Muhan. The woman he held had bruises on her face and couldn’t be recognized anymore, but she was unmistakably Princess Qing Wan by her familiar attire. Dozens of corpses lay around them, including several black-clothed men as well as two dozen or so differently dressed men in various shapes and sizes. Some were only wearing tops and exposing their lower halves. The air smelled of blood and something worse—Yun Qianyue’s heart sank.

White Crimson Phoenix was still a few dozen zhang away from the black-clothed group besieging Cloud Muhan, but Yun Qianyue couldn’t wait any longer; she leaped forward while flinging her Crimson Silk. The crimson silk flew out with a fierce light like a sword slicing through the sky, instantly striking several of those surrounding Cloud Muhan and sending them flying.

Yun Qianyue’s Crimson Silk circled around again without delay, felling more men in moments. After two moves, she was by Cloud Muhan's side; he seemed to be at his limit and, upon seeing her, tried to collapse on the ground. Yun Qianyue immediately supported him with a hand, but he relaxed his grip, causing Princess Qing Wan to slip down.

Yun Qianyue didn’t have time to catch Princess Qing Wan; she kept moving Crimson Silk and knocked back two more men.

The head of the black-clothed group saw Yun Qianyue’s swift actions and shouted coldly, "Retreat!"

Upon hearing his command, all remaining black-clothed figures pulled back to leave.

<

Yun Qianyue wouldn't let them leave so easily. Seeing that Yun Muhuan had fainted, she gently placed him on the ground and lightly touched her toes to intercept the black-clothed men who were retreating. The Crimson Beauty Brocade flew out from her hand again. At the same time, she flicked her sleeve, sending thin sewing needles flying from it, causing several more people to fall.

The leader of the black-clothed men saw that they could no longer retreat and his expression under the mask changed drastically. He shouted, "Form an array!"

Within a moment, the remaining twenty-plus men gathered together, forming a killing formation around Yun Qianyue.

Yun Qianyue gave a cold laugh. Such a small array could never stop her! Not only couldn't it stop her, but she could also use this opportunity to capture them all at once! She narrowed her eyes and suddenly retracted the Crimson Beauty Brocade, urging her energy forward. The first level of Heaven's Thunder and Earth's Fire from the last stage of Fenghuang Scripture was activated. Although she had just started practicing it without testing its power, now was a good opportunity to do so.

As soon as she started using her energy, her body began spinning in mid-air. As her figure rose, all true energy gradually dissipated around her, forming a fine circle of true energy around her within an instant. Each ring of true energy was like a sharp sword, and any black-clothed men who came close to it were killed instantly.

The leader's face changed drastically when he saw the situation turning unfavorable. He immediately abandoned his companions and retreated. Yun Qianyue wouldn't let him escape, so she threw out the Crimson Beauty Brocade again. Instead of aiming for his neck or vital points, she tied it around his waist in an instant, making a tight knot. No matter how hard he tried to break free with his palms or slash at it with his sword, his sword was repelled by the true energy around the brocade. His eyes went blank as he took out a pill from his pocket and threw it into his mouth.

Yun Qianyue had nothing else in her hands to stop him, so she frowned. She had originally wanted to leave one of them alive for interrogation, but now that probably wouldn't happen either. As she thought this, the leader's hand suddenly stopped moving towards his mouth as his body went stiff and motionless. Surprised, Yun Qianyue turned around and saw a black carriage approaching. Rong Jing had picked up the curtain to look at her, clearly having struck him down from afar.

Yun Qianyue redirected her gaze and gathered her true energy, retracting the Crimson Beauty Brocade tied around the leader's waist as well. Within an instant, several cries of pain rang out. All the black-clothed men who had set up the formation collapsed to the ground. She retracted her energy and landed gracefully, glancing at all the dead black-clothed men on the ground before hurrying towards Yun Muhuan.

Yun Muhuan was still unconscious when she arrived beside him. She lifted him up and felt his pulse; it was scorching hot to her touch. Her face changed slightly as she immediately asked Rong Jing, "He's been poisoned by love flowers. Do you have the antidote"

"Yes!" Rong Jing reached into his pocket and pulled out a white jade bottle which he tossed to Yun Qianyue.

Yun Qianyue caught it with her hand, opened the bottle, and put a pill in Yun Muhuan's mouth. She then looked at several wounds on his body that were bleeding and sealed them off by striking certain acupoints. Once she was done, she turned to look at Qing Wan Princess who had fallen beside Yun Muhuan. Setting Yun Muhuan down, she checked Qing Wan Princess' pulse; her breathing was weak and her pulse faint. Clearly, she had been subjected to some form of torture, but there were no injuries on her body except for the redness around her face. She retracted her hand and looked at the corpses of several men who didn't have pants when they died earlier. Her lips tightened.

"Kill her!" Rong Jing's voice suddenly rang out.

Yun Qianyue turned to look at Rong Jing, seeing him still sitting in his carriage and looking down at her from behind the curtain. Although she knew who he was referring to, she couldn't help asking, "Who"

"Qing Wan Princess!" said Rong Jing gently.

"Why" Yun Qianyue seemed to be addressing both him and herself.

"You know in your heart that if Qing Wan Princess were alive in this state, would you really let your brother marry her Although Yun Muhuan isn't your real brother now, he is for all practical purposes. Moreover, he's also his cousin. Would you want to see him forced into a marriage with Qing Wan Princess against his will Don’t forget that she’s not just an unfortunate woman; she’s the emperor’s princess!" Rong Jing reminded her.

Yun Qianyue pursed her lips tightly; she had also thought of this idea just now. Clearly, someone had tortured Qing Wan Princess, but could her brother really marry a Qing Wan Princess in such a state Moreover, since Yun Muhuan had brought her out today and it was his responsibility when something happened, plus Qing Wan Princess was infatuated with Yun Muhuan all along; if she were destroyed now, besides marrying Yun Muhuan, there would be no way for her to marry another. Therefore, the answer was obvious.

"Furthermore, from a different perspective, if she continued living, not only would it be her own suffering, but also Yun Muhuan's. If he wakes up and doesn’t let you kill her, then his whole life of marriage will be ruined because of this. Compared to the pain for the rest of his life, which is more important You should clearly distinguish between them," Rong Jing reminded once again. "When you should cut off ties but don't, you'll only bring chaos upon yourself!"

After Rong Jing's words, Yun Qianyue suddenly closed her eyes, picked up a sword from the ground, and slit Qing Wan Princess' throat without looking at her face, causing blood to flow out. Qing Wan Princess died instantly. She let go of the sword in her hand and opened her eyes, with a cold expression on her face. She knew that Yun Muhuan didn’t like Qing Wan Princess; she couldn't allow such a Qing Wan Princess to ruin his life. Therefore, there was only one way for her. When it's time to cut ties, do so decisively.

"Qing Ying!" Rong Jing looked at Yun Qianyue and spoke gently.

"Young Master!" As soon as Rong Jing finished speaking, someone answered him.

Yun Qianyue raised her head to look. Standing beside Rong Jing's carriage was a faint silhouette that seemed shrouded in mist; she couldn’t see his face clearly but knew it was a young man. She had seen this person only once before, three years ago. At that time, Rong Jing and she were on the Westwood Ridge between Nanyang and Beiyang when Ye Qian made a deal with Ye Tianyi.

"Take him away and imprison him in a dark room for interrogation!" said Rong Jing gently.

"Yes!" Qing Ying responded. He didn't approach the leader but simply waved his hand, causing mist to float out of it and wrap around the leader instantly. After he got hold of him, he vanished from the spot.

At this moment, hoofbeats were heard from afar.

When Yun Qianyue looked in the direction from where the sound came, she saw one person and a horse. The man sitting upright on the horse was indeed Ye Tianyi. She withdrew her gaze and gave the dozens of corpses lying around her a cursory glance. These people were clearly divided into two groups, and it was clear that the group responsible for defiling Princess Qingwan must have been the bandits. Today's events seemed to be more complicated than she initially thought.

Shortly after, Ye Tianyi arrived, reined in his horse, took a glance at the scene before him, and fixed his gaze on Yun Qianyue, "Moonie, what happened here"

"I also want to know!" Yun Qianyue glanced at Ye Tianyi.

"Qingwan is dead" Ye Tianyi looked at Princess Qingwan, who had blood spurting from her neck. Her face changed, and he immediately dismounted the horse.

“Yes!” Yun Qianyue responded briefly.

Ye Tianyi took two large strides to reach Princess Qingwan and frowned as he looked at her for a moment before shifting his gaze to the nude male corpses. His lips tightened into a thin line, and he then turned back towards Yun MoHan in Yun Qianyue's arms and asked, "How is Young Master Yun"

"He was poisoned by love flowers! I just gave him the antidote," Yun Qianyue explained.

“Under broad daylight such things happen How disgusting!” Ye Tianyi’s face showed slight anger.

Yun Qianyue remained silent. There were not only these incidents of attempted murder under broad daylight today. She and Ye Tianyi, as well as Princess Qingwan and Yun MoHan had left the city together. After spending less than an hour at the military headquarters camp, such events happened upon their return. It was evident that a premeditated plan was in motion.

"What situation were you in when you arrived Did you leave anyone alive" Ye Tianyi asked again.

“I rode my horse there first. At the time, the situation was too urgent; I didn't manage to detain any living captives,” Yun Qianyue looked at those black-clothed corpses and sounded somewhat numb. Despite their black robes and face masks, she had discerned that they were from Southern Liang based on their combat style. Because her mother hailed from Southern Liang, and due to the switch of identities with her brother and cousin ten years ago, she would naturally not leave a live captive behind. However, now Ye Tianyi was no longer the same as before; she had to be wary.

“So it is like this!” Ye Tianyi nodded, looking at Rong Jing, "Young Master Rong, what do you think of this matter"

"After Young Master Yun wakes up, he will probably know how the incident happened. At present, anyone's thoughts are merely conjectures," Rong Jing said coolly: “Prince Seventh has just arrived; let him handle things here.” With that, he spoke gently to Yun Qianyue, "Young Master Yun’s cure for the love flower poison is still not complete and must return home immediately to treat his injuries. We should head back now!"

Yun Qianyue nodded, “Okay!”

"Xiang Ge, you take Young Master Yun back to Cloud Manor first," Rong Jing instructed Xiang Ge when he saw that Yun Qianyue was about to pick up Yun MoHan.

"Yes!" Xiang Ge immediately stepped forward.

Yun Qianyue retracted her hand, and Xiang Ge picked up Yun MoHan. Just as he was about to use his light-footed technique, she said, "Ride my horse back."

Xiang Ge nodded, holding Yun MoHan while flying onto White Vermilion Phoenix with both legs clamping the horse's belly; the steed galloped towards the city gate.

After Xiang Ge left, Yun Qianyue looked at Princess Qingwan. She thought of how she used to be a noble princess with fine silk clothes and delicacies. As Emperor’s most favored princess, she had enjoyed all the attention and affection that comes with being a princess. Perhaps she never imagined she would end up like this due to her love for Yun MoHan. Because she loved Yun MoHan, who was also the Young Master of Cloud Manor, she was destined to be an instrument in Old Emperor’s hands. However, conversely speaking, everything has two sides. If she hadn’t fallen in love with Yun MoHan and insisted on marrying only him, perhaps she wouldn't have received Old Emperor's favor.

Today, from the moment Princess Qingwan turned around as soon as she appeared at Cloud Manor’s main hall, Yun Qianyue knew that she was conscious, but just pretended otherwise. She didn’t believe that Yun MoHan, who had interacted with her longer than anyone else, hadn't noticed it. Or rather, perhaps not only Yun MoHan and herself, astute individuals like Ye Tianyi or Old Emperor wouldn't miss it.

Today, it was Ye Tianyi who brought Princess Qingwan out of the palace to Cloud Manor. Originally, Yun MoHan planned on taking her outside the city’s eastern gate to Xiyan Lake; she had said that she wanted to come here instead. But such an incident happened in the end. Was this fate or human agency If it was human agency, did Princess Qingwan know what awaited her Did Ye Tianyi have anything to do with her leaving the palace for Cloud Manor and knowing about such things happening

"Qingwan already died when you arrived" Ye Tianyi suddenly asked.

“No! She was originally in a coma, but after I revived her she couldn't take the shock and committed suicide!” Yun Qianyue said calmly.

Ye Tianyi nodded, took one step forward to carry Princess Qingwan, not caring if his snow-white brocade robe would be stained with blood, and told Yun Qianyue, "I will take Qingwan back to the palace. This matter must be reported to my father immediately!"

“Yes!” Yun Qianyue nodded.

Night Tianyi carried the Qingwan Princess and leaped onto his horse. He shouted, "Come here!"

"Seventh Prince!" As soon as Night Tianyi spoke, someone responded. This person was around thirty years old with a regular-looking face and black brocade clothes. A special badge of the Imperial Family's Secret Guard hung at his waist.

“Take these people back to the city and store them in the morgue under strict surveillance!” Night Tianyi ordered, "Wait until His Majesty issues an order for a thorough investigation!"

"Yes!" The person immediately replied.

Night Tianyi glanced at Yun Qianmo and then looked at Rong Jing. He spurred his horse and led the way out of Xiyan Lake towards the city gate, disappearing in no time.

Yun Qianmo cast a glance at that Imperial Family Secret Guard, then walked towards Rong Jing's carriage. Upon reaching it, Rong Jing extended his hand to her. She gently placed her hand on his and was firmly held by him as he pulled her into the carriage.

The curtains fell, and Rong Jing instructed the horseman driving the carriage, "Return to the city!"

The horse understood what he said and turned around, heading towards the city gate.

After the carriage left, that Imperial Family Secret Guard issued a signal. Soon, dozens of secret guards arrived; he gave them instructions with a wave of his hand, and they began to clear the bodies from the ground.

In the carriage, Rong Jing took out a handkerchief and wiped the blood off Yun Qianmo's hands. Seeing her pale face, he asked softly, "Do you feel uncomfortable killing Qingwan Princess"

"Yes, a little," Yun Qianmo nodded. After all, they had grown up together since childhood. She watched Night Tianqing, Night Tianyi, and other princes grow up; she also watched the growth of Qingwan Princess and Sixth Princess and other imperial princesses. Even though there was no affection involved, it was still a human life. If not for Rong Jing, she didn’t know if she could have brought herself to do it.

"Everyone has to face death someday. For Qingwan Princess, her death is the best path under these circumstances," Rong Jing said.

"Yes, I understand that she can't live on and her death is for the best. But I fear what Yun Muhuan will do when he wakes up…" Yun Qianmo sighed, leaving the rest of her sentence unsaid.

"Are you afraid that he would be furious with you if he knew it was you who killed Qingwan" Rong Jing raised his eyebrows.

Yun Qianmo remained silent. When she arrived, Yun Muhuan was awake and had protected Qingwan Princess even in such a situation. She knew that although Yun Muhuan didn't like Qingwan Princess before, he might have developed feelings for her now. Would someone who cares deeply about another person care if she lost her chastity If not, would Yun Muhuan hate her to the bone for killing her

"He won’t be angry with you," Rong Jing said gently.

Hearing his certain tone, Yun Qianmo felt a bit stiff. She looked at him and saw that his expression was rather profound. She didn't quite understand it and raised an eyebrow, "Are you so sure"

"Yes!" Rong Jing nodded.

Yun Qianmo’s eyebrows lifted higher.

"Do you remember when you blocked the Driftleaf Fragrance for me in front of Qianmen" Rong Jing asked.

"Of course, I do!" Yun Qianmo nodded. She had acted according to her true feelings at that time; she didn’t know whether it was because her deep love hadn't faded despite losing her memories and still lingering deeply in her heart, or if it was because during the period when she had lost her memories, he had reestablished his presence within her heart again.

"Don't you find his attitude at that time strange" Rong Jing raised an eyebrow.

Yun Qianmo was stunned for a moment and then carefully recalled the situation back then. After a while, she frowned, pursing her lips tightly together; soon, her frown relaxed as she glared at Rong Jing, "What's so strange about it! Why must you be more sensitive than women"

Rong Jing suddenly smiled and reached out to embrace Yun Qianmo. He sighed, saying, "For your sake, I cannot help but be sensitive!"

Yun Qianmo leaned against him, exhausted all her strength and handed over her body weight entirely to him. She whispered softly, "What do you think the old emperor will do about this matter Will he conduct a thorough investigation

"A thorough investigation" Rong Jing raised his eyebrows, then after a moment, his tone turned indifferent: "Maybe!"

"Hm" Yun Qianyue looked up at him.

"Whether or not it will be a thorough investigation depends on the Seventh Prince!" said Rong Jing with a faint smile. "If the Seventh Prince does not wish for this matter to become public, then she must bring Qing Wan Princess back quietly to the palace; if he wishes for a thorough investigation, then they will enter the palace without any concealment along the way. A royal princess being defiled and by bandits of all things—where would the honor of the imperial family be"

Yun Qianyue fell silent. The old emperor naturally wouldn’t want news of Qing Wan Princess’s defilement to spread across the land, but she couldn’t say for Night Tianyi. If she knew about his past actions, she could make an estimate, but now it was hard to tell. After all, Night Tianyi would certainly care about the reputation of the imperial family.

"Moreover, whether or not it will be a thorough investigation is still up in the air; we’ll have to wait and see what Yun Muhuan says when he wakes!" said Rong Jing.

"Right. After we return home, he should also wake up," Yun Qianyue remarked.

Rong Jing nodded but remained silent.

The carriage passed through the city gates; the soldiers at North Gate saw that even though there was no driver, the horses seemed to have someone driving them and immediately recognized Rong Jing’s carriage, letting it pass through. The swift horse pulled the carriage toward Yun王府 (Yun Manor).

After a smooth journey, they arrived at Yun Manor where the carriage came to a halt. Yun Meng’s voice was heard: "Young Master Jing, Miss Shallow Moon has returned!"

Yun Qianyue emerged from Rong Jing’s embrace and raised her hand to open the curtain; she saw Yun Meng standing by the door and immediately asked, “Has my brother woken up”

"Young Master hasn’t woken yet! Miss Shallow Moon, you’re finally back. Please go see Young Master right away! His injuries look very serious and he’s still running a fever," said Yun Meng urgently.

"It’ll be alright; I gave my brother some medicine on the way here, so once we get home, Rong Jing will prescribe another formula to brew more medicine for him. Don’t worry, there won’t be any danger to his life." Yun Qianyue replied.

"That’s good! That’s good!" Hearing this, Yun Meng sighed in relief, "Then I’ll inform the Old Marquess first; he’s currently at Young Master’s quarters and is very anxious. He asked for a physician earlier but Xiangge Guard said that you two would return soon so there was no need to call one yet. I’ll tell the old marquess so he can rest assured."

"Alright," Yun Qianyue nodded.

Yun Meng immediately rushed inside.

Yun Qianyue glanced at Rong Jing, who nodded in response to her; she jumped down from the carriage lightly and Rong Jing stretched out his body slowly as they both walked toward the manor’s inner quarters. They crossed through the front courtyard, circled around to reach Xifeng Garden. In Xifeng Garden, maids and servants were carrying bloody water in and out. Seeing their arrival, they all quickly greeted them; Rong Jing and Yun Qianyue entered the main house.

Through the curtain, she saw Yun Muhuan lying on a bed, apparently having been cleaned up from his bloodied state. His upper body was exposed while he wore only a single pair of trousers. He had more than ten sword wounds all over him. Sitting by the bedside were Cloud Old Marquess and standing beside them was Cloud Marquess.

"Young Master Jing, come in quickly and take a look, then prescribe some medicine," said Cloud Old Marquess upon seeing their arrival.

"Alright!" Rong Jing nodded as he stepped forward to Yun Muhuan’s bedside to feel his pulse; Yun Qianyue also approached and stood beside Rong Jing looking at Yun Muhuan.

"Rotten girl, tell me what exactly happened," Cloud Old Marquess asked Yun Qianyue with a stern look.

"I want to know too!" Yun Qianyue looked at the old marquess and seeing his angry eyes, she explained, “When Rong Jing and I returned from the Military Affairs Department, I heard screams coming from Xiyan Lake which felt off so I went to check. When we arrived there, we found dozens of black-clothed men attacking my brother; I killed them and saved him.”

"What kind of black-clothed men were they" Cloud Old Marquess asked.

Yun Qianyue glanced around the room to ensure there was no one else present before she whispered, "Assassins sent by Southern Liang!"

The old marquess’s expression changed and Cloud Marquess was startled.

Yun Qianyue remained silent after that.

"I'll prescribe a remedy for him. He should take it immediately. The meridian in his arm has been damaged, but if he takes good care of himself and rests properly, it can heal," Rong Jing withdrew his hand and said to the Cloud Old王爺.

“As long as there's no danger to his life!” The old face of the Cloud Old王爺 nodded seriously.

Rong Jing walked up to the table, pulled out a piece of xuan paper and wrote out the prescription. It didn't take him long to finish writing it; Prince Cloud immediately came forward to take it and instructed from outside, "Uncle Meng, quickly go prepare the medicine!"

“Yes!” Yun Meng immediately walked in, received the prescription, and ran off.

"How is Qing婉Princess She left together with Cold Boy!" The Cloud Old王爺 remembered Qing婉Princess and asked again.

Yun Qianyue glanced at Yun Muhuan before she was about to speak. Just then, Yun Muhuan suddenly opened his eyes and sat up straight. She immediately stopped speaking and looked at him. When Yun Muhuan woke up and saw that he had returned to his own room, there was a moment of confusion; but shortly after, when he saw Yun Qianyue, it seemed as if something came back to him. He glanced once more at Rong Jing and the Cloud Old王爺, then turned to Prince Cloud without speaking.

"Cold Boy, how do you feel" The Cloud Old王爺 looked at Yun Muhuan and asked.

Yun Muhuan didn't answer, his face darkened.

The Cloud Old王爺 frowned slightly but didn't say anything more. Prince Cloud walked forward to ask, "Your grandfather is asking you a question. How do you feel Shijie Rong Jing just wrote out the prescription and Uncle Meng has already gone to prepare the medicine!"

Yun Muhuan remained silent as if he hadn't heard.

Yun Qianyue looked at Yun Muhuan and saw that his wounds were not bandaged. She instructed from outside, "Someone, bring in the medical box used for bandaging." As soon as she spoke, someone responded outside; she then said to Yun Muhuan, "Lie down first, your injuries are severe, I will bandage you up."

Yun Muhuan suddenly raised his head and looked at Yun Qianyue, asking, "Where is Qing婉Princess"

Yun Qianyue's expression remained unchanged; she said calmly, "Dead!"

Yun Muhuan's body trembled; the tone of his voice suddenly deepened, "How did it happen"

"I killed her," Yun Qianyue pressed her lips together. She felt that she should tell Yun Muhuan the truth: if she said Qing婉Princess had committed suicide, would Yun Muhuan feel guilty It's better to just be honest with him. If he is angry and takes it out on me, it's better than him bearing this alone.

After Yun Qianyue spoke, Yun Muhuan's body trembled again; the Cloud Old王爺 who had been sitting suddenly stood up abruptly; Prince Cloud stumbled nearly falling down; they both stared at Yun Qianyue in disbelief with wide eyes.

"You killed her" Yun Muhuan's voice became unexpectedly soft.

“Mm-hmm!” Yun Qianyue nodded.

“Qianyue, how could you... How could you kill the princess” Prince Cloud felt his body go limp; killing a princess was no small matter.

Yun Qianyue didn't speak, only looking at Yun Muhuan. To her, killing Qing婉Princess wasn't much of an issue; she wasn’t afraid even if the emperor found out and追究her; what mattered most to her was Yun Muhuan's reaction.

Well, Qing婉Princess died like this, is anyone mourning for her (╯▽╰)╭

Rain and wind are coming, we believe that our Qianyue and Rong Mei Ren will conquer all obstacles! O（n_n）O~
