Shen Qianmo raised an eyebrow. With Shangguan Pian's arrogant nature, she could actually tolerate Yao Yuanshan's behavior. Her eyes were clearly filled with hatred when she looked at Shen Qianxin, but she was still so gentle when she looked at Yao Yuanshan. It seemed that Shangguan Pian really liked Yao Yuanshan.
Just as Shen Qianmo was admiring the intricate relationship before her, Situ Jingyan suddenly whispered in her ear in an ambiguous manner, "Mo'er, is this show interesting?"
Shen Qianmo felt a little embarrassed by Situ Jingyan's actions and blushed.
Seeing the expressions on Shangguan Che and Shangguan Jin's faces as they looked at him, Situ Jingyan's lips curled into an arrogant and ruthless smile. It seemed that the two future heirs to the throne of Qiyue Kingdom were quite fond of his Mo'er.
However, it doesn't matter. Because Qi Yue will be destroyed soon!
The dinner party slowly came to an end in this seemingly blissful but actually turbulent atmosphere.
After the banquet, a few more peaceful days passed. Then one day, Situ Jingyan suddenly came to the mansion and said he wanted to go out for a stroll with Shen Qianmo. Shen Lingyun was naturally more than willing, after all, the Emperor of Tianmo was a powerful pillar, and with this marriage, he was practically invincible.
Shen Qianmo was just about to go out, so she readily agreed to go for a stroll with Situ Jingyan.
"Does the Emperor of Tianmo want to follow Qianmo around forever?" Shen Qianmo smiled and looked at Situ Jingyan. She originally wanted to take the opportunity of accompanying Situ Jingyan to openly ask Shengge about the task she had assigned to her.
But Situ Jingyan was like a piece of chewing gum, sticking to her like glue, leaving her at a loss for what to do.
"Mo'er is really heartless. I specially gave Mo'er the opportunity to meet with her subordinates, and Mo'er actually complained about me." Situ Jingyan also had a wicked smile on his face, and his deep, abyss-like eyes were shining with doting light.
Shen Qianmo raised her eyes in slight surprise. Situ Jingyan actually knew her intention to come out. It seemed that nothing she had done had been kept from her. Since that was the case, there was no need for her to hide anything anymore.
Thinking of this, Shen Qianmo's smile widened, "Then Emperor Tianmo will go with Qianmo."
"Mo'er, I don't like the title 'Emperor of Tianmo'," Situ Jingyan suddenly said with a touch of domineering.
Upon hearing this, a sly glint flashed in Shen Qianmo's eyes, and she smiled, "Then, Lord of the Enchanting Blood Pavilion?"
“Jingyan.” Situ Jingyan interrupted Shen Qianmo, his eyes filled with three parts stubbornness, three parts domineering, and four parts deep affection, and smiled, “Call me Jingyan.”
A subtle emotion flickered in Shen Qianmo's eyes, and the corners of her mouth slowly curved upwards as she parted her lips slightly, "Jingyan."
Upon hearing Shen Qianmo's mention of Jingyan, Situ Jingyan's face immediately lit up with a smile, his expression like that of a child who had just received candy.
Having grown accustomed to Situ Jingyan's strategic planning, his domineering nature, his gentleness, and his captivating charm, seeing his childlike expression now only made Shen Qianmo feel a sweet warmth in her heart.
When Situ Jingyan saw the unconscious smile on Shen Qianmo's lips, he felt that his heart had been completely possessed by this woman, and he could never lose her in this lifetime.
---Aside---
I recommend my friend Wenwen's modern novel, "The Arms Dealer's Doting Wife."
Chapter 43 Is Third Sister a Spy?
"Palace Master." Sheng Ge's voice was still cold, and she was like a handsome iceberg, with a chilling look in her eyes. When she saw Situ Jingyan next to Shen Qianmo, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, but then turned into indifference.
Shen Qianmo noticed the surprise in Sheng Ge's eyes and a slight unease on her face. She asked Sheng Ge, "How's the matter I asked you to investigate going?"
Shengge raised her eyes, looked at Situ Jingyan, and asked Shen Qianmo with her eyes.
"The Blood Demon Lord is our ally, there's no need to hide it," Shen Qianmo said calmly, subconsciously avoiding mentioning that Situ Jingyan was the Emperor of Tianmo, because the Emperor of Tianmo was her husband. Although she had said that she might not obediently marry him, she seemed to have already accepted this fact in her heart.
Even knowing that Shengge, with her aloof nature, wouldn't say anything frivolous, she still didn't reveal Situ Jingyan's other identity. Perhaps it was because she already harbored subtle feelings for Situ Jingyan, and therefore feared that others would see through her.
Sheng Ge glanced indifferently at Situ Jingyan and continued, "Su Luoyan is from Linwei. The Crown Prince of Linwei recently came to the capital of Qiyue and met with Su Luoyan privately once. As for the content of their conversation, we have not been able to find out."
Upon hearing Sheng Ge's words, Situ Jingyan raised an eyebrow, a hint of interest flashing in his eyes, and a cryptic smile appeared on his lips.
Shen Qianmo's eyes darkened, her brows furrowed slightly, and a cold smile flashed across her lips. "I didn't expect this Third Sister to be so capable; she's actually a spy for the Linwei Kingdom?!"
"As things stand, Su Luoyan is indeed connected to Linwei." Shengge's expression remained unchanged, her tone still icy cold.
Shen Qianmo felt that Sheng Ge's face would never show any expression, and she would always have an icy look on her face.
A spy from Linwei? Shen Qianmo's smile deepened with sarcasm, her eyes turning icy cold, as if frozen solid. "A person from Linwei?! Perhaps not. I'm afraid Su Luoyan is merely using her identity as a spy from Linwei to achieve her own schemes."
“My Mo’er is truly clever. Su Luoyan has been married into the Prime Minister’s mansion for so many years, and there seems to be no major movement in Linwei. It’s clear that Su Luoyan is merely using Linwei to consolidate her position.” Situ Jingyan smiled meaningfully upon hearing Shen Qianmo’s words and said calmly.
"It seems you are also very familiar with the situation in Linwei?" Shen Qianmo raised an eyebrow. Situ Jingyan's words clearly implied that he was very clear about the situation in Linwei. Or perhaps, he had some special agreement with the Crown Prince of Linwei, after all, Linwei and Tianmo had been getting very close in recent years.
Upon hearing Shen Qianmo's words, Situ Jingyan's eyes suddenly flashed with a gleam of domineering arrogance that commanded respect from all. He said, "How can one contend for the world if one doesn't even understand the current state of affairs?!"
For the first time, a flicker of emotion appeared in Sheng Ge's icy eyes. The man before her—his bearing and demeanor were far beyond what a mere martial arts practitioner could possess.
Originally, he was someone who didn't care about anything. He only worked for the Demon Palace to repay the old palace master for saving his life.
He was originally the descendant of a famous general in Tianmo, but the original emperor of Tianmo was incompetent and tyrannical, and mistakenly trusted a treacherous minister, who killed his entire family. He vowed that he would kill that old emperor, but before he could become powerful, the old emperor had already died.
But his hatred wouldn't end there. He was determined to find the treacherous official who betrayed and killed his entire family back then, but unfortunately, he hadn't found him after so many years of investigation!
Judging from this man's appearance, he seems to have some connection with the Tianmo royal family. Didn't the Palace Master recently promise himself to the Tianmo Emperor? Could it be...?
Seeing the unusual expression in Sheng Ge's eyes, Shen Qianmo couldn't help but ask curiously, "Sheng Ge, what's wrong? I said you've never been interested in women, are you perhaps gay?"
Upon hearing this, both men present changed their expressions.
Shengge glanced at Shen Qianmo with some displeasure and said in her unchangingly cold tone, "Palace Master, your imagination is too rich!"
Situ Jingyan was taken aback at first, then looked at the innocent-looking Shen Qianmo, a helpless smile appearing on his lips, his eyes filled with doting affection. He gently pinched Shen Qianmo's nose and laughed, "Mo'er's imagination is really quite rich. However, in my heart, there is only Mo'er!"
Shen Qianmo was already embarrassed by Situ Jingyan's words, and with Shengge watching, she ran away in embarrassment. Situ Jingyan's smile deepened, and he chased after her, laughing as he asked, "Is Mo'er shy?"
Shengge watched the two leave, silently pondering to herself.
It seems that the Master of the Enchanting Blood Pavilion is indeed Situ Jingyan! Then he can use Situ Jingyan to find out who the treacherous minister who betrayed him back then really was.
Of course, he was only using Situ Jingyan's identity to investigate. He wouldn't ask Situ Jingyan for help. Even if he didn't involve Situ Jingyan in his past hatred, he wouldn't have any good feelings towards Situ Jingyan, after all, he was also the son of his enemy.
