Глава 196

Qingyun chuckled softly, "I believe you."

Then she and Li Ge bypassed Mei Li, and with a light touch of their toes, gradually disappeared into the Qin Palace.

At this moment, Qingyun Piaomiao's voice rang out in the hazy moonlight—"The Li Palace was not formed overnight, Meili, never be an enemy of the Li Palace."

Mei Li was taken aback, and suddenly her eyes reddened slightly. She knelt down and said to the sky, "Palace Master, Mei Li will swear to obey to the death."

Many years later, when Meili passed the throne to the next palace master, she emphasized this point Qingyun had made. The Qin Palace no longer clashed with the martial world. From then on, the martial world was at peace, and the bloody battle of that time never occurred again.

Volume Three: Truth and Falsehood in the Palace, Bloodstained Red Beans

It's been drizzling for a while now, making the weather increasingly humid. This kind of weather often makes people irritable, and Qingyun is one of them.

Qingyun sat quietly at the table, holding a calligraphy brush. Before half an incense stick's time had passed, Qingyun immediately slumped down, dejected. Resting her chin on the wooden table, Qingyun stared blankly at the autumn rain outside the window.

The rain kept falling incessantly, a curtain of raindrops forming a curtain outside the window. The hazy mist enveloped the entire earth, creating a feeling of being bound, which was rather uncomfortable.

Li Ge's plans were completely disrupted. A plague had broken out in Xicheng, requiring the imperial court to send an imperial envoy. She never expected that Situ Xingyun would send Li Ge! And the reason was so high-sounding—the emperor's younger brother was a renowned physician praised by all, and moreover, he was the prince of Fengxi. No one, whether inside or outside the court, could compare to the emperor's younger brother. Who else could they send?

But the most important thing is not that. What matters is that Situ Xingyun acted first and reported later. Once the imperial decree was issued, he packed his bags and a large group of people set off for Xicheng in a grand procession.

Thinking of this, Qingyun gritted her teeth in anger.

"Oh dear, Princess, it's been two months already, are you still angry about that matter?" Qingyi asked when she saw Qingyun's expression as she came in to change the tea.

"No!" he said, emphasizing each word.

...Clearly, I'm very angry. Qingyi thought to herself.

"Princess, I heard that Young Master Li Ge is coming back soon! The plague in Xicheng has been mostly contained, so Young Master Li Ge doesn't need to worry about the rest. Young Master Li Ge truly lives up to his reputation as a divine physician!"

Qingyun sighed softly, "I'm not angry about that matter, but about the fact that he hasn't written a single letter back. Since we got together, we've never been apart for this long. Missing someone is so hard." Qingyun gazed at the autumn rain outside the window, "I grow thinner and thinner, yet I have no regrets, for I am wasting away for her."

"Woman, so this is what you thought of me."

A cheerful voice, like a gentle spring breeze, suddenly rang out behind her.

Qingyun was stunned, and her body began to tremble uncontrollably. She turned her head in disbelief. When she saw the person she had longed for day and night standing in front of her, overwhelming joy spread from her face to her entire body. She ran towards Lige and hugged him tightly, tightly.

"You naughty Li Ge!" She clearly had many tender and affectionate words in her heart, but when they came to her lips, they turned into coquettish words.

Qingyi chuckled to herself as she quietly left, leaving behind a world just for them.

"Woman..." Li Ge murmured. Wasn't he also "wasting away for her"?

Qingyun sobbed a few times, then looked up and was shocked to find that Li Ge's face was shockingly pale.

Before the word "Li Ge" could be uttered, Qingyi rushed in and said hurriedly, "Young Master Li Ge, there is a guard outside who wants me to tell you that the Emperor wants to see you now."

Qingyun was taken aback. "You haven't gone to see Situ Xingyun yet?"

Li Ge smiled and shook his head.

"Go quickly! I'll be waiting for you at the Prince of Ande's residence."

Li Ge nodded.

The main hall.

"This plague has only killed about twenty people, and it is now under complete control. The remaining people who are still suffering from the plague have been sent by my brother to a temple on the outskirts of Xicheng. I believe they will recover soon."

"Very good, very good. Xingzhi, you have made great contributions in this plague!" Situ Xingyun nodded approvingly, but suddenly his expression darkened. "Xingzhi, I heard that you went to the Snow Palace as soon as you returned?"

Li Ge was taken aback. Normally, if Situ Xingyun knew about something like this, he would just turn a blind eye and wouldn't bring it up directly. It seemed he was also starting to lose patience with the balance between the three of them.

"Yes," Li Ge answered firmly.

Seemingly unprepared for Li Ge Hui's directness, Situ Xingyun remained silent for a long time before slowly saying, "Xingzhi, you are both unmarried, and you often associate with Xue'er so closely. Do you know that this will ruin her reputation?"

Li Ge forced a smile. After two months of hard work, Li Ge's face was a little thin and his complexion was a little pale, but his smile was still as charming as ever, making Situ Xingyun feel inferior.

“Your Majesty, if this will ruin her reputation, then—” Li Ge suddenly stopped, looking directly at Situ Xingyun. “Your Majesty, I’ll just marry Princess Xiangxue.”

Situ Xingyun's dark eyes remained calm and undisturbed, his emotions unreadable to anyone. He stared at Li Ge and softly uttered two words, "Don't even think about it."

"Your Majesty, I will only marry her, love her, and have her as my only love in this lifetime." Li Ge's brown eyes sparkled with a bright light, as if the gentle light in his eyes had been born for her since childhood.

"The person I love can only have me in their heart, and their body can only have me." Suddenly, Qingyun's resolute voice rang in Situ Xingyun's ears.

He looked at Li Ge, his brows furrowing. The man before him damnably fit her requirements.

“Xingzhi,” Situ Xingyun’s voice softened, “Xue’er, I will never let go of her in this lifetime. Even if the person she loves is not me.”

The soft voice carried a domineering aura that could shake the heavens and the earth!

Li Ge raised an eyebrow, his brown eyes gleaming with a steadfast determination. "Unfortunately, the unspoken understanding between brothers has happened to us. She, I'm determined to have her in this lifetime."

One is domineering, the other is resolute.

The autumn rain continued to fall outside, its pattering sound amplified in the tranquil hall. At that moment, the hall seemed ablaze with the light of a raging fire, the air so thin it was suffocating.

At that moment, the branch that had been inserted into the hall fell softly to the ground with a crack.

That was the sound of balance breaking.

Prince Ande's Mansion.
