es in you. No matter what, your brother will support you." 。"Thus, I shall pose another question. Dong Yue's Fifth Princess, have you heard clearly" 。The upper line is: Coming and going at will, a gen..."This isn't the worst part. Not only does Jun Liye not remember Qingying, he's also very close to Zhao Ruoqing, like…like he thinks Zhao Ruoqing is Qingying." Just thinking about this, Zhao Tianyu's face darkened considerably, his dark eyes churning like tides, extremely fierce and intimidating.
As soon as these words were uttered, Shangguan Jinghong's eyes narrowed. The jade bone fan in her hand was almost crushed to powder. A gleam flashed in her phoenix eyes, and she frowned deeply before speaking with an unwavering certainty, "Impossible. We all know how much Heixin Ye cares for the little girl. There must be something hidden here."
Zhao Tianyu nodded slightly, he remained noncommittal about this statement.
With a light sigh, Zhao Tianyu's brow furrowed, a glimmer of depth flashing in his eyes. He spoke in a low voice, "Actually, I have a hunch deep down."
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Jinghong and Xuen Yuan Rongfei both were taken aback, instinctively raising their eyes to look at him, waiting quietly for his next words.
After a pause, his eyes flickered with an unreadable expression, his voice equally grave. The handsome lines of his brow were shadowed with worry. "Zhao Ruqing is skilled in the art of sorcery. I wonder if she used poison to lock away his memories and implanted false ones instead"
After that, Shangguan Jinghong and Xuen Yuan Rongfei both darkened their faces. For a moment, there was silence between them.
"If that's truly the case, then Hei Xin Ye not remembering the little girl makes perfect sense." He rubbed his temples and leaned back against the chair behind him. Shangguan Jing Hong looked utterly exhausted, his mood unusually heavy.
This is all terrible! One bad thing after another, it's just not letting up!
"Hmph! That Zhao Ruqing is shameless, actually using such a despicable and cunning way to steal her master's man. She's supposed to be a princess!" Never had she seen someone so brazen, Xuan Yuan Rongfei was almost stunned by her audacity. Her fists clenched tightly, her pretty little face flushed with anger, flames of fury dancing in her eyes.
"This won't work. Is there a way to restore Heixing Ye's memories" Shangguan Jinghong asked in a deep voice.
The most urgent thing is to find a way to restore Jun Li Ye's memory. Otherwise, if he stands on Zhao Ruo Qing's side and helps her deal with them, they will be in big trouble!
He knew firsthand how terrifying this ruthless night was. If he could, he'd rather never face him again for the rest of his life and would never want to be his enemy!
"I don't know, it depends on his will. Perhaps if his willpower is strong enough, he can break free from the poison's suppression and slowly regain his memories." Zhao Tianyu shrugged and replied honestly.
"That master..." Xuanyuan Rongfei gazed towards her room, her brow furrowed with worry.
“This would be tough for anyone. Let her be alone for a while.” He shook his head gently at her, signaling for her to calm down.
The little girl must be feeling very distressed right now. Going to bother her would only add to her troubles.
"Hmm."
Meanwhile, Su Qingying's residence.
The candles inside were unlit, plunging the room into darkness. Only a faint moonlight streamed in from the window, casting a shimmering silver across the floor.
Su Qingying huddled tightly, her knees pulled close to her chest, in the corner of her bed. In her hand, she clutched a jade pendant that Jun Liye had given her during their time in Xi Ming. Even in the dim light, it still faintly glowed.
Fleeting memories of them danced in her mind, two glistening tears tracing paths down her porcelain-like face. She bit her lip, refusing to let out even a whisper of a sob.
"A-Li, why don't you remember me I'm so scared, so scared... Please, come back soon, I miss you so much."
Vision blurred by tears, my heart ached with a dull pain, piercing to the core.
The next day, the sky was overcast with churning dark clouds that seemed to press down heavily, blocking out all light. It felt as though a storm was about to break.
The princess's mansion, study.
"What's going on It's been a day and night, yet none of the people I sent out have returned! Go, quickly send someone to investigate and find out what happened!" Zhao Ruqing glared at the dark guards kneeling below. Her face was filled with anger as she slammed her fist onto the table, causing all the cups and saucers on the rosewood table to crash to the ground, splashing a graceful arc of pale tea on the floor.
"Yes, Princess." The guard dared not raise his head to meet her dark and menacing gaze. He knelt on the ground, swallowing nervously as a wave of fear washed over him. Having received his orders, he immediately retreated.
"My princess, my subordinate discovered one of our people near the second prince's residence. However, his heart meridian was completely pierced. When my subordinate found him, he only had a breath left. There was no other choice but to temporarily sustain his life with venomous insects." Just as that dark guard had just left, another rushed in and knelt on the ground, reporting respectfully.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Ruoqing's face suddenly changed. She stood up abruptly, her slender eyes seemed to be filled with poison, and her sinister voice sounded like it came from hell, "Quickly! Bring him up!"
"Greetings, Your Highness," the man in black bowed. Soon after, the man was helped inside.
“How could you be injured like this What about the people I sent Where did they go And what about my venomous insects” Zhao Ruoqing’s eyes were wide with rage, her beautiful face contorted in a terrifying grimace, as hideous as a female demon from hell. Her cold and menacing gaze was utterly chilling.
"My lady, apart from my fortunate escape, all my brothers... they are all dead. The venomous insects we brought... they were all destroyed." The man in black bowed his head in fear, not daring to meet her gaze.
“What did you say!” A sharp shriek shook the roof, and Zhao Ruqing’s heart ached so badly she almost vomited upon hearing about her insects being wiped out. “This is impossible! I know how capable Zhao Tianyu is; there’s no way he could have done this! Unless someone helped him!”
"A qin! Princess, it's an ancient qin!" As if suddenly remembering something, the black-clad man trembled with excitement.
"Guqin What do you mean" Zhao Ruqing raised a skeptical eyebrow, her enigmatic eyes flickering at the agitated figure in black. She frowned, clearly puzzled by his fervor.
That night, we were about to finish the task the princess had given us, but just then, a woman in blue suddenly took out an ancient qin and with just a few light plucks, our insects were wiped out completely. Our men died under that qin.
Thinking back to that nightmare, a scene of utter chaos and bloodshed, the man in black shivered involuntarily, unable to suppress the terror spreading through his body.
"Just a mere ancient qin could possess such power" Zhao Ruqing's heart skipped a beat as she observed his expression with unwavering calmness. An unbelievable thought suddenly flashed through her mind, "Could it be, the Gu Yue Qin!"
"According to that good-for-nothing Zhao Tianqi, Gu Yueqin once appeared in Xi Ming and was apparently obtained by the Fifth Princess of Dongyue. If that ancient qin is truly Gu Yueqin, then it was Su Qingying who killed the princess's worm! " Thinking of this, Zhao Ruoqing's beautiful face twisted again, her eyes flashed with cold killing intent and resentment.
"Damn it! So many centipedes, all killed by Su Qingying! Those were the result of this princess's years of effort! This princess can't swallow this!"
The centipedes were extremely difficult to raise. She had poured a great deal of manpower and resources into raising this batch, and now they were gone overnight. Zhao Ruqing's heart was bleeding!t. He looked at you as if he wanted to swallow you alive! It was terrifying!” Until they returned to Liu Yun Palace, Xi’er still shivered from the scene by Qiu Ming Lake. Her face was as white as pape...
