After returning to the room, ng Qianqian poured a cup of tea for Lu Yuan: "What were you just thinking about?"
Lu Yuan picked up the teacup and glanced at it: "This cup wasn’t dropped on the ground, and then given to to drink, was it?"
ng Qianqian cleared her throat: "Am I that kind of person?"
"Hard to say."
Lu Yuan took a sip.
"Hey—hard to say and you still drink?"
ng Qianqian muttered.
Lu Yuan finished the cup of tea and placed the teacup back on the table.
He was always like this, saying the most unpleasant things while doing the most gracious actions.
ng Qianqian sat down beside him and stared at him intently.
Lu Yuan got back to the point: "Before leaving the Capital City, I went to bid farewell to the Supre Emperor."
ng Qianqian responded earnestly: "And then?"
Lu Yuan said: "The Supre Emperor gave a brocade bag, instructing to open it only after entering Miaojiang."
ng Qianqian asked: "Did you open it?"
Lu Yuan gave a slight nod: "I did. Inside was a letter and a peace lock."
"Where are they?"
"In the cabinet."
ng Qianqian rummaged through his cabinet and easily found an embroidered sachet: "You don’t even hide it a bit?"
Lu Yuan retorted: "Who to guard against? You or the little rascal?"
ng Qianqian’s mouth twitched.
Lu Yuan hit the nail on the head: "This peace lock isn’t valuable, the little rascal wouldn’t care for it, nor would you."
ng Qianqian: ...don’t put it that way.
"I’ve already destroyed the letter."
Lu Yuan said, "The Supre Emperor asked to find an old friend for him, and that old friend is King Qin. However, when the Supre Emperor gave the letter, he had not yet beco emperor, so the letter still referred to him as King Qin."
"How many King Qins are there in the world?"
ng Qianqian asked.
"One."
Lu Yuan answered.
"Who is this King Qin?"
ng Qianqian had lost her mory, but when Luo Shan ntioned King Qin earlier, everyone else seed to have heard of him, so he must be a prominent figure.
She should have heard of him in her past life, but after her rebirth, she didn’t rember.
Lu Yuan spoke deliberately: "In the Southwest, where power is fragnted, Great Zhou, the Western Regions, and even the forr Old Miao King all wanted to expand their territories there, but they were all blocked by the Old King Qin."
ng Qianqian was deeply shocked: "To stop the ambitions of three countries, that Old King Qin is no ordinary person."
Lu Yuan said: "The Old King Qin once did the Supre Emperor a favor, and since the Supre Emperor owes him a favor, it’s not good for him to send troops against his forces. As for what the Old Miao King and the Loulan King think, remains unknown."
ng Qianqian curiously asked: "What favor did the Old King Qin do for the Supre Emperor?"
Lu Yuan frowned and said: "The letter didn’t specify. The Supre Emperor just asked to take the peace lock to find the Old King Qin."
ng Qianqian further asked: "Was it the Old King Qin or his son who beca emperor?"
Lu Yuan pondered: "If the Old King Qin were alive, he should be around the age of the Old Matriarch, so it’s likely his son who beca emperor."
ng Qianqian raised an eyebrow: "Or maybe it’s his grandson."
The lineage of King Qin in the Southwest pacified the region, much like the Bai Family unified Miaojiang. However, the Old Miao King chose to submit to the court, while the lineage of the Old King Qin chose to establish its own empire.
ng Qianqian carefully examined the old silver peace lock: "I’ve seen jade pendants used as tokens, but never a peace lock. Aren’t peace locks ant for children?"
Bao Shu had a shiny golden peace lock hanging around her neck.
But her clothes were too thick, and the peace lock was hidden beneath them.
Lu Yuan had also been puzzled, but unfortunately, the old fox of a Supre Emperor insisted he open it only once in Miaojiang, and now that he’s in Miaojiang, how could he ask the Supre Emperor for answers?
ng Qianqian asked in a low voice: "Why do you listen to the Supre Emperor so much? Aren’t you always known for your rebellious spirit?"
Lu Yuan: "..."
Lu Yuan: "A ruler’s command cannot be defied."
ng Qianqian mumbled: "And yet you’ve defied it many tis already."
Lu Yuan had rarely followed orders, but this ti he had been tricked by the Supre Emperor.
The older the ginger, the spicier.
Lu Yuan lanted: "Old fox!"
ng Qianqian picked up the wedding invitation Luo Shan had left on the table: "I and Chen Long originally planned to go to the Thousand chanism Pavilion for reckoning, and you were to et the King Qin of Southwest. But now the Thousand chanism Pavilion has moved to the Southwest and beca the State Preceptor for the King Qin, so we don’t have to part ways."
Lu Yuan’s face darkened: "You originally planned to part ways with ? Use this relationship to cure Changle, then go separate ways with and follow Chen Long to Lingshan?"
Heartless girl, use and discard!
ng Qianqian tugged at his hand: "Husband."
"It’s useless."
"What would work then?"
Lu Yuan extended three fingers.
ng Qianqian widened her eyes: "Call three tis?"
Lu Yuan: "Have three children."
ng Qianqian: "...!!"
ng Qianqian ran away.
Liu Muye stayed in Shang Changle’s room for an entire afternoon.
When ng Qianqian went to find Shang Changle, she had already woken up.
Her pale face had gained a hint of rosiness, and she stretched comfortably: "Sister, I haven’t slept so soundly in a long ti."
"Really?"
ng Qianqian touched her hand, "It’s not as cold anymore. Still, Grandmother has her ways. Don’t worry, Grandmother will surely be able to cure you."
Shang Changle nodded.
After leaving Shang Changle’s room, ng Qianqian went to Liu Muye’s courtyard.
Lu Yuan was also there.
"Grandmother."
ng Qianqian saluted.
"Co, sit."
Liu Muye said to ng Qianqian.
ng Qianqian sat beside Lu Yuan: "Grandmother, Changle seems much better."
Liu Muyan said: "She’s just had a good night’s sleep. This child has poison invading her heart, suffering from a heart condition, and has not had deep sleep for years."
ng Qianqian said with distress: "So Changle has been enduring such pain all along."
Looking at the delicate and fragile young girl, her toughness rivaled that of a man.
Who says only Shang Wuyou took after Second Uncle?
Shang Changle’s endurance, perhaps, surpassed that of Second Uncle back then.
"Grandmother, I’ve heard this poison is incurable, Changle she’ll..."
This was ng Qianqian’s biggest worry.
Although she didn’t know what Si Snake and Grandmother discussed in the room, Si Snake didn’t ntion anything about treatnt upon coming out.
It’s likely that Changle’s condition isn’t sothing Si Snake could fix.
Liu Muye said: "Changle’s poison is complicated, but thanks to you finding the Purple Dream Grass, it’s as if this child wasn’t destined to die."
ng Qianqian asked excitedly: "Does Grandmother an that Changle’s illness can be cured?"
Liu Muye said: "I will do my best. It’s just that she’s been poisoned for a long ti and can’t recover in just two or three days. Ayuan told about your plans to go to the Southwest. Since it’s the Supre Emperor’s wish, you should take the trip."
ng Qianqian looked at Lu Yuan, then at Liu Muye.
"Grandmother."
Having just reunited, now they have to part ways, her heart is surely full of reluctance.
But who wasn’t feeling reluctant?
ng Qianqian’s gaze returned to Lu Yuan’s face.
Liu Muye took Lu Yuan’s hand and gently stroked his face: "Go, Grandmother will always wait for you at Witch Mountain, no matter how far you go, Grandmother will be at Witch Mountain waiting for you to return."
Lu Yuan, like a silent child, gave a low hum.
Liu Muye smiled: "This ti, don’t let yourself get lost again."
