Crown Prince Mansion.
Lan Yeyue was under house arrest in Chen Long’s courtyard, wanting to leave but couldn’t, wanting to die but couldn’t.
Of course, she didn’t really want to die.
She wandered aimlessly around the courtyard.
As she reached the door, a Miao master blocked her path.
Ruan Ling said, "The Miao King has ordered that you are not to step out of this gate without permission."
Lan Yeyue rolled her eyes.
She walked to the backyard wall.
Ruan Qing stood on the rooftop: "You can’t go here either."
Lan Yeyue angrily returned to the room.
Before she could sit down, the door was slamd open.
ng Qianqian walked in with a cold expression.
Lan Yeyue was startled and said unhappily, "What are you doing here? Your master has already taken all my dication!"
ntioning this made her angry. She had brought countless elixirs from dicine King Valley for ergencies.
In the end, they were all looted overnight.
Chen Long better survive; she would settle this score eventually!
ng Qianqian walked straight to her, staring intently.
Lan Yeyue was unnerved by her sharp gaze and asked irritably, "Lost ans lost. Staring at won’t help!"
"I’m not here to ask for dicine."
ng Qianqian said directly, "I’m here to ask, what is your purpose in coming to the Southwest this ti?"
Lan Yeyue said indifferently, "Just because you ask, I have to answer? Who do you think you are?"
ng Qianqian said, "If you don’t want to answer, you don’t have to, but don’t forget that you are now a prisoner, Lu Yuan’s prisoner. As the esteed daughter of dicine King Valley, surely you know the ans of the Grand Commander of the Jinyi Guard?"
Lan Yeyue looked at the indifferent silhouette standing in the courtyard and shivered inexplicably.
"It won’t hurt to talk."
ng Qianqian tempted her with a snack, taking out crab roe pastry bought halfway, "Fresh from the oven."
Lan Yeyue refused to eat out of spite.
ng Qianqian opened the box of crab roe pastries and pushed it in front of her.
The rich aroma wafted through the air, and Lan Yeyue swallowed involuntarily.
Not many people knew her preferences.
Chu Nan was one.
She had told him voluntarily.
"Chu Nan, I love eating crab roe pastries. If you ever make angry, rember to use them to appease !"
Thinking of Chu Nan, Lan Yeyue’s nose tingled with emotion.
ng Qianqian noticed her reluctance and took one to eat, only for Lan Yeyue to grab it back.
"Weren’t these bought for ?"
ng Qianqian said, "I thought you weren’t eating."
Lan Yeyue began eating heartily.
ng Qianqian poured her a cup of hot tea.
Lan Yeyue’s eyes were red: "I’m choking."
ng Qianqian said softly, "I know."
Lan Yeyue’s tears fell silently.
Her throat and heart ached, unable to taste the crab roe pastry.
But she stubbornly finished one.
ng Qianqian acted as if she hadn’t noticed her loss of composure and quietly waited.
"Aren’t you drinking?"
Lan Yeyue asked.
"No."
ng Qianqian replied.
Lan Yeyue paused: "Are you pregnant?"
ng Qianqian’s eyes flickered.
As expected of Mao Tu, her insight second only to Si Snake.
"Yes."
She straightforwardly admitted.
Lan Yeyue rarely teased her, just ate another crab roe pastry.
This ti, she seed much calr and tasted so flavor.
"Why do you want to know my purpose in the Southwest?"
She asked.
ng Qianqian said, "I want to know whether you knew about and were involved in Hu Lie’s collaboration with dicine King Valley."
Lan Yeyue responded oddly, "Hu Lie? You an Prince Jin’s uncle? You suspect him of colluding with our dicine King Valley?"
ng Qianqian asked, "You didn’t know?"
Lan Yeyue arrogantly said, "There’s nothing in dicine King Valley I don’t know. Whatever source you heard it from, I advise you not to be too credulous!"
Did Ji Feng hear wrong?
ng Qianqian furrowed her brows in doubt, quickly shaking her head.
Ji Feng wouldn’t hear wrong.
Either Hu Lie’s subordinates had the wrong information, or Lan Yeyue was also kept in the dark.
As to why it wasn’t Lan Yeyue deceiving her.
After all, having known each other for years, she could tell if Lan Yeyue was lying.
"You asked why I ca to the Southwest."
Lan Yeyue said coolly, "What purpose could I have? To watch the show! Just didn’t expect, you actually defeated the Thousand chanism Pavilion!"
ng Qianqian gave her a long look: "Was the plan to recruit the Black Armor Army your idea or your father’s?"
Lan Yeyue picked up another crab roe pastry: "Mine! Rather than let the Black Armor Army beco bandits, it’s better to have them join dicine King Valley!"
ng Qianqian directly looked into her eyes: "You want to protect the Black Armor Army, to ensure Chu Nan’s army continues."
Lan Yeyue pouted: "What does it concern you?"
ng Qianqian said, "Raising an army is not simple, your father didn’t oppose?"
Lan Yeyue proudly said, "I also thought my father would oppose. I was ready to threaten him with my life, luckily my father loves ."
Lan Yeyue wasn’t stupid, just there were things and people in life one chooses not to doubt.
ng Qianqian decisively shared the information Ji Feng gathered from the underground palace.
Lan Yeyue’s expression changed on the spot: "You are not allowed to slander my father! My father would never have designs on the Black Armor Army!"
ng Qianqian straightforwardly said, "So, you admit your father is capable of such despicable acts."
Lan Yeyue found herself choked up.
Her father might not be a saint, but she was the apple of his eye. Knowing she wanted to protect Chu Nan’s Black Armor Army, how could he take them away and turn them all into puppets?
ng Qianqian didn’t speak, just looked at her calmly.
Lan Yeyue was furious out of embarrassnt: "My father is not like Gongsun Yanming! He wouldn’t do this to ! He loves the most!"
"I never said your father doesn’t love you."
The Valley Master of dicine King Valley had Lan Yeyue in middle age, treasuring her as a jewel, but cherishing her was one thing, having his ambitions was another.
In this world, things aren’t just black or white.
Lan Yeyue was furious: "I don’t believe it I don’t believe it I don’t believe it! My father said, the Black Armor Army is mine!"
This was the second ti she lost her composure in front of ng Qianqian.
She gritted her teeth: "Are you deliberately trying to anger ?"
"No need for that."
ng Qianqian stood up and left.
"What evidence do you have?"
ng Qianqian didn’t answer her, nor did she say if she didn’t believe, she could check for herself.
She glanced at the azure sky: "Hu Lie has trained a formidable army, concerning knowledge of the Black Armor Army’s training thods, you are one of the few who knows so, you... haven’t ntioned this to the dicine King, have you?"
Lan Yeyue was stunned.
ng Qianqian brushed off her sleeves.
Lan Yeyue: "I’ll go find—"
"Too late."
ng Qianqian said leisurely, "The Black Armor Army is already surrounded by Hu Lie’s forces."
"Then why did you still—"
"But, dicine King Valley will not succeed."
ng Qianqian, facing the light, turned around, half her body cloaked in the shadow, "I trust Han Qi and the Black Armor Army."
