"The King dotes on the Queen so much!"
"Of course, I heard that His Majesty carried the Queen into the palace!"
"You're so spoiled!"
"I've heard that the Queen is Princess Wushang from the Great Xia Zhou Dynasty. She first married the heir of a marquis's family and then became the fourth imperial consort! Now, she's actually come to our Qingzhao with a young boy and become the Queen!"
"Is that so?"
"Of course! I also heard that this woman disappeared for a while. It turns out she went to the Western Regions and became the Queen of the Western Regions! That little boy doesn't even know who his real father is!"
"What? Such a thing exists?"
Upon hearing this, Ji Wushang froze, his face turning deathly pale.
Tuoba Heyan's eyes darkened instantly, his whole body filled with murderous intent. Ji Wushang saw that he had one arm around her waist and the other hand was already gathering a powerful force. Ji Wushang immediately grabbed his other hand, "No, no, Cong, don't do this." She pulled him nervously.
"I will make sure that person dies a horrible death!" Tuoba Heyan said coldly.
Ji Wushang pulled him away and led him to another place. They only stopped when they were far away and could no longer hear the voices of those people.
“There must be something fishy about this. Don’t get angry.” Ji Wushang looked at her and then said, “It seems that this is aimed at me. It’s normal for news of an appointment to spread among the common people, but for news of the emperor’s and even my past to spread, it means that someone is secretly sabotaging this.”
"After I return, I will take action. Tomorrow, I will summon the Grand Chancellor, and then I will know why I became the Prince of Qingzhao three years ago and why I lost my previous memories." Tuoba Heyan calmed down at this moment.
"The Grand Chancellor?" Ji Wushang looked at him.
"That was a formidable old man. I have no memories of what happened before, but I possess all of Tuoba Heyan's memories, from childhood to the present, everything is crystal clear. It's unbelievable!" Tuoba Heyan gently stroked Ji Wushang's bangs. "Back then, when I fell into the deep pool, it was the Grand Chancellor who saved me. Perhaps, it wasn't me who fell into the deep pool, but the real Tuoba Heyan. I never expected that he would switch places with me." Tuoba Heyan sighed.
"By the way, was it you who arranged for the Prince of Zhenbei to conduct a secret water burial for you?" Ji Wushang asked immediately.
"Yes." Tuoba Heyan's eyes darkened. "Master once said that water is the source of life. We are born from water, and we should also go with the flow in death." Tuoba Heyan looked at Ji Wushang, and only now did he calm down. He gently stroked Ji Wushang's face. "You won't blame me, will you?"
Ji Wushang looked at him. Since he was saying what the old man Pan Yao had said, he naturally followed what the old man Pan Yao had said. Moreover, to be honest, it was really thanks to this water burial that he was able to be mistaken for Tuoba Heyan and then be resurrected and meet him again!
Ji Wushang shook his head, unable to hold back his tears, "I just, I just feel a little sad sometimes. You don't know, the Prince of Zhenbei probably made a tomb according to your instructions. When I went to pay my respects, he gave me a long letter from your last will and testament. I cried my heart out. At that time, all I thought about was to smash my head against the tombstone and die to be with you in the afterlife!"
Tuoba Heyan held her tightly in his arms. "Please don't do anything so foolish. Otherwise, how can I forgive myself? As I said in that letter, I only want you to be well, for you to live happily for me. I don't want you to suffer, I don't want you to bear so much for me! Wushang, perhaps Heaven truly pities us, which is why we were able to meet like this, to love each other so deeply, and to never be apart." Tuoba Heyan closed his eyes slightly, and two tears rolled down his cheeks.
Everything was so difficult and unbearable! I wrote that letter with the mindset of certain death.
Ji Wushang sobbed softly, but when he mentioned Beigong Minhao, he immediately said, "Cong, that day, you seriously injured the Prince of Zhenbei..."
"I...I'm sorry to him. But I was just too angry at the time. I said no one could touch you, not even my brothers! My woman, only I can wipe away her tears." As Tuoba Heyan spoke, he placed his large hand on Ji Wushang's face.
Ji Wushang felt helpless and didn't know how to say it to this man. After thinking for a moment, she could only say, "Then you have to apologize. Also, I wonder how he is now. You really beat him up badly!"
"Well, I really went a bit too far back then." Tuoba Heyan scratched his head, a little embarrassed. "But he shouldn't die, don't worry."
"I understand." Ji Wushang sighed. He owed Beigong Minhao again and wondered how he was doing. He should have Hongfei and Cuiwu ask him.
Ji Wushang and Tuoba Heyan sat together for a long time and talked for quite a while before going back.
At this moment, in Qingzhao Suhua Palace, Consort Ansu was filled with endless resentment in her bedchamber.
"I never imagined that that vile woman would become the Queen! How despicable!" Consort Ansu looked at the many palace maids kneeling before her and said coldly, "You're all useless! You couldn't even keep an eye on her, allowing her to perform in front of the King!"
“Your Majesty, the King somehow sent many people to guard the Miro Palace beforehand, so we servants cannot approach!” A bolder palace maid stepped forward and prostrated herself, saying.
"You're all blind! Didn't you see she's a vixen? In less than a month, she's become queen! How can I expect to have any good days from now on?" Consort Ansu glanced at them coldly. "Have you all done what I asked you to do?"
"It's all taken care of. Tomorrow, the whole city will know that woman is a witch!"
“But the King doesn’t believe it at all! Damn it, if there’s a war that sends the King out, I’ll have a chance! The Queen Mother has always held a grudge against that woman!” Consort Ansu glanced at the palace maid kneeling at the front. “Come here, I have something to tell you!”
"Yes." The palace maid immediately stepped forward.
After giving her instructions and dismissing everyone, Consort Ansu entered the inner chamber. However, as soon as she closed the door, she saw a dark figure on the bed inside. It looked like a tall man. It couldn't be the King, so who was it?
Just as she was about to scream for help, the dark figure was incredibly fast, appearing in front of Consort Ansu in an instant! Before she could even see what it did, Consort Ansu was already unable to move or speak!
Consort Ansu looked at the man in front of her with a look of horror. What she feared was the schemes in the harem. If a man suddenly appeared and ruined her reputation, Tuoba Heyan or the Empress Dowager would definitely not let her off easily!
I used to use such methods to force some women to die!
However, the man in front of me did not do that; instead, he had another purpose. So, I can rest assured a little!
The man was dressed entirely in black, his body completely covered, his disguise extremely well, only revealing a pair of deep purple eyes.
Consort Ansu wanted to speak, but she couldn't utter a word; all she could do was stare at him.
“You are not jealous of Ji Wushang becoming queen.” The man said with a very certain tone. He was standing in front of Consort Ansu, no more than three meters away.
That voice is incredibly beautiful, magnetic yet alluringly sexy. In short, Consort Ansu is absolutely smitten!
Yi Yun Shangcheng's cold eyes darkened slightly. "I can help you make Ji Wushang disappear from Tuoba Heyan's sight, and then make you Tuoba Heyan's queen!"
Consort Ansu was surprised. Was this really possible? But looking at this uninvited guest before her, she was deeply suspicious! Would he really be this kind to her? What if it was fake? Would he let her fall into his trap?
Yi Yun Shangcheng looked into her eyes, his gaze penetrating deep into her heart. A slight smile played on his lips. "You have questions in your heart, and I can answer them all. But I can tell you clearly, it is a great honor for you to have me as your partner!" Yi Yun Shangcheng stretched out his large hand, revealing his crystal ball before her. He immediately channeled immense energy into his hand, and within seconds, the crystal ball displayed a scene of Ji Wushang and Tuoba Heyan embracing each other!
Yiyun Shangcheng felt a surge of anger rising in his chest, but he suppressed it!
Consort Ansu was speechless with astonishment! This man's martial arts skills are truly formidable! Moreover, it seems that there is only one crystal ball on the entire continent, the one held by the current King of the Western Regions. But wasn't it said that the King of the Western Regions fell into the cliff and died three years ago? Could it be a lie?
That crystal ball can only be used by one person, and that is the King of the Western Regions! Moreover, his eyes, it is said, are the most beautiful pair of purple eyes in the world!
The man in front of me also has one!
Could it be this man?
"Have you guessed my identity? Very well!" Yi Yun Shangcheng no longer bothered to hide it, and activated Consort Ansu's pressure points. "Consort Ansu had better know her place!"
"Come in and talk to me!" Yi Yun Shangcheng withdrew the power of the crystal ball and put it into her sleeve. She really didn't want to see Ji Wushang entangled with another man! Damn it, had she already forgotten the dead Nan Xu Cong and fallen in love with this Prince Qing Zhao?
In terms of brutality and cruelty, Prince Qingzhao was no less than Yiyun Shangcheng. Why was such a person able to win her favor? And why couldn't I? No matter how much I did for her, she showed no gratitude whatsoever; instead, she hated me!
Yi Yun Shangcheng was filled with extreme hatred and madness! Yi Yun Shangcheng clenched her fists, wishing she could find Ji Wushang and this time, tear her heart out to see what was going on!
The two entered the inner room, where Yiyun Shangcheng sat down at the table and said, "As long as you do as I say, you will definitely become the Queen of Tuoba Heyan. If you are still not satisfied, you can also become the Queen of my Great Western Regions!"
"Really?" Consort Ansu looked at him, wondering whether she should move closer, but looking at the man in front of her, she felt a deep sense of distance and fear!
My God, what kind of man is this! Even Tuoba Heyan never gave her this feeling!
The night was terrifyingly deep. Tuoba Heyan carried Ji Wushang into his Xiu Xun Palace, gently placed her on the bed, and then lay down beside her. Ji Wushang was already exhausted and had fallen asleep in the carriage.
I wonder how Huangfu Jun'an is? Ji Wushang has been by his side all day, and they are in Xiu Xun Palace and Mi Luo Palace... Tuoba Heyan got out of bed and quickly went to Mi Luo Palace.
"Sister Hongfei, where is Mother? Why doesn't Mother come to see Nianlang?" Huangfu Jun'an sat by the bed and looked at Hongfei, who was pouring medicine into a bowl. Hongfei's hands were hanging down, and she was very obedient. She spoke in a childish voice.
"The princess went somewhere else. She told me to make sure Young Master Nianlang takes his medicine properly and not to worry her!" Hongfei said, then came forward with a bowl. "Here, young master, take your medicine first!"
"Yes. Nianlang misses his mother. Nianlang wants his mother to take his medicine." Huangfu Jun'an looked at Hongfei and said with a hint of grievance.
Hongfei thought for a moment. Now that the princess had been made queen, would she be following Tuoba Heyan from now on? Was Tuoba Heyan really the master or not? She had to find the princess and ask her first.
"The princess will be back soon, Nianlang, you must be good. Come on! Eat some." Hongfei coaxed, then began to feed Huangfu Jun'an his medicine. But just then, Huangfu Jun'an saw someone at the window. "Sister Hongfei, there's someone outside the window!"
Tuoba Heyan was startled and immediately disappeared into the darkness.
"Who?" Hongfei immediately became alert.
“It’s that uncle with the golden mask!” Huangfu Jun’an said, and then he was about to get out of bed.
When Hongfei heard it was Tuoba Heyan, his heart skipped a beat. How could he possibly be here? Then, where was the princess?
"Uncle!" Huangfu Jun'an shouted behind Hong Fei and got out of bed. Tuoba Heyan had already stepped forward and hugged Huangfu Jun'an. "Come on, don't resist Uncle's hug." Tuoba Heyan spoke just as Huangfu Jun'an was about to struggle.
“Nianlang didn’t resist because Uncle smelled like Mother!” Huangfu Jun’an immediately said.
Tuoba Heyan was taken aback. This child…
Hong Fei bowed to Tuoba Heyan, but his expression changed slightly when he heard Huangfu Junan say this.
"Hongfei, you and Cuiwu go and inquire for me about Beigong Minhao," Tuoba Heyan said at this moment.
Hong Fei was startled and immediately looked up at Tuoba Heyan.
"Three years is neither too long nor too short. I hope you haven't forgotten Nan Xuzong!" Tuoba Heyan looked at Hong Fei with sharp eyes.
"Master!" Hongfei immediately knelt down upon hearing this. "Master, you, you've really come back?"
"Go and get to work!" Tuoba Heyan didn't answer directly, but his meaning was clear. Hong Fei was a smart man and naturally knew it was him and not someone else!
"Yes!" Hongfei responded and excitedly went downstairs.
"Don't tell anyone about this for now, except for Kitagong Minhao, of course!"
"Yes. That Cuiwu..."
“Alright,” Tuoba Heyan said. “Also, Gong Shu.” Let these people know for now, so it will be easier to deal with Yiyun Upper City!
"Is there any other young master..."
"I will feed him the medicine." Tuoba Heyan smiled and glanced at Huangfu Jun'an. Huangfu Jun'an was currently focused on Tuoba Heyan's golden mask, but Tuoba Heyan held his little hand to prevent him from taking off the golden mask.
Hongfei immediately agreed and quickly withdrew. So it really was Master! The princess won't have to suffer so much anymore. Master has really returned! How wonderful! Hongfei was excited and overjoyed as she went out.
Tuoba Heyan then turned his gaze to Huangfu Jun'an. "Alright, good boy, Nianlang, be good. Take your medicine first, okay?" He smiled, then held him and sat him down at the table.
Huangfu Jun'an looked at Tuoba Heyan and said, "Uncle, Nianlang misses his mother. He hasn't seen her for two days. Nianlang wants his mother, he wants his mother!"
"She's resting in peace. Are you sure you want to disturb her?" Tuoba Heyan stroked his bangs. "Your mother is very tired and has worked very hard!"
"Then let her rest in peace!" Huangfu Jun'an pouted. "Now that she's awake, Uncle, how about you take Nianlang to see Mother?"
"Of course." Tuoba Heyan smiled. "Then shouldn't you take your medicine now? If your mother finds out you haven't taken your medicine, well, she'll be very sad, and your father will be very sad too."
"Father? Father, Nianlang wants Father!" Upon hearing this, Huangfu Jun'an immediately stepped on Tuoba Heyan's thigh. "Uncle, take Nianlang to find Father!"
"Well, how should I put it? Nianlang, from now on you will call me... Father, understand?" Tuoba Heyan put his arm around him and then let him sit in his lap.
“Father? What is Father?” Huangfu Jun’an looked at him. “Mother didn’t say anything about Father or anything like that.”
“Father is Father.” This is a bit of a headache, how should I explain it? Tuoba Heyan also looked at him with affection in her eyes, “Well, why don’t you let your mother explain it to you?” Tuoba Heyan said, let Ji Wushang explain, she can say whatever she wants.
Huangfu Jun'an nodded, "Father."
"What a good boy!" Tuoba Heyan was overjoyed. He picked up the bowl and fed him the medicine. "Come on, drink your medicine! Nianlang, you must grow up quickly so you can protect your mother in the future!"
“Uncle Beigong once said the same thing to Nianlang.” Huangfu Jun’an looked at Tuoba Heyan. “Father, Nianlang misses Uncle Beigong.”
"How about I take you to see him later?" Tuoba Heyan said helplessly. He had lost too much money on this son. Now he thought that if he didn't take good care of Huangfu Jun'an, he might not remember him in the future, but would remember Beigong Minhao instead.
Tuoba Heyan made up his mind to take even better care of Huangfu Jun'an.
He carefully fed Huangfu Jun'an the medicine, spoonful by spoonful.
