Chapter 234: Chapter 234 A Quite Similar Old Enemy

And on this side, Bai Aoxue and Jun Yeyan didn’t know what was happening at this moment after they left. They were already in the carriage back to the courier hostel.

“Xue, do you know that? The current empress isn’t the biological mother of Qi Liange and Qi Muyuan.” Jun Yeyan asked lightly while looking at Bai Aoxue.

“Of course. It isn’t a secret at all.” Bai Aoxue said, nodding carelessly after hearing the words of Jun Yeyan.

Jun Yeyan nodded and then continued to say, “It’s always hard to tell this thing clearly. There are lots of skeletons in the closet between Qi Liange and the empress.”

Jun Yeyan’s words hit Bai Aoxue like a thunder from the clear sky to the flat ground, making her curious.

“Skeletons in the closet?” Bai Aoxue asked and looked at Jun Yeyan with her eyebrows raised slightly.

Jun Yeyan nodded, and his eyes were clear and bright.

“Qi Liange and Qi Muyuan are siblings born of the same mother, but their queen mother passed away very early. It was said before that she died of an incurable disease, but there are also many hidden conspiracies unknown to outsiders.” Jun Yeyan said slowly to Bai Aoxue.

“It is said that the current empress is responsible for the death of Qi Liange’s queen mother. In those days, she threatened his queen mother with the life of Qi Muyuan who was just born and forced his queen mother to drink the poisonous wine to commit suicide.” Jun Yeyan said indifferently as if these things didn’t matter.

While Bai Aoxue’s eyes turned dark after she heard the words of Jun Yeyan. She didn’t expect that the conflicts in the Imperial Palace were so complicated.

“But didn’t the current emperor do anything? Didn’t he stop it? Didn’t he punish the current empress as well?” Bai Aoxue asked, wrinkling her eyebrows slightly.

Hearing the words of Bai Aoxue, Jun Yeyan sneered coldly and said, “You might have found today that the emperor was at the empress’s beck and call. He did not dare to revolt at all. Will you believe it if I tell you that the situation of the Nanyue Dynasty has been controlled by the empress during these years?”

Bai Aoxue was a little surprised after hearing the words of Jun Yeyan, but she was not shocked.

After all, she had seen by herself the coward look of the emperor at the palace banquet for today.

Thinking of this, Bai Aoxue had already known in her mind that the emperor must be poisoned by the empress.

“The empress is one of the Liu family. Over these years, the Liu family has become more and more powerful and imperious, which has threatened the position of the emperor a little. When the current empress entered the palace, she was only the highest-ranking imperial concubine at first. But later she was able to kill Qi Liange’s queen mother and took over the position of the empress, showing the great efforts made by the Liu family.” Jun Yeyan said slowly, and his comments sounded reasonable and logical.

“But Qi Liange’s queen mother couldn’t rely on anyone. It was only a matter of time before this happened.” After a pause, Jun Yeyan continued to say.

Hearing Jun Yeyan’s words, Bai Aoxue sneered coldly and said, “It turns out that the Liu family wants to control the power by themselves, but now, the puppet they always thought they could support has been fully-fledged, so now it is time for the Liu family to reap the consequences of their own evil deeds.”

After hearing the words of Bai Aoxue, Jun Yeyan naturally knew who Bai Aoxue was talking about. He nodded his head gently to show his concurrence.

Maybe, Liu Muwei had done everything well before, but his only mistake was to leave Qi Liange alive as the future trouble. Besides, he gave him enough time and space to breathe and grow up.

These were not the deadliest. The deadliest thing was that Liu Muwei believed in himself too much, and his excessive complacency was the beginning of strangling himself!

Sometimes, even Jun Yeyan himself thought that he was so similar to Qi Liange because of their unspeakable tragic pasts. They had to survive on in a steadily worsening condition for revenge and for what they wanted.

Even though they were once humble into the dust, it could not stop their current brilliance!

But for their different standpoints and the person in front of them, maybe they would have become rare confidants. After all, they once appreciated and knew each other.

Thinking of this, Jun Yeyan turned around to look at Bai Aoxue beside him, and the light flickered in his eyes.

He had already known that Qi Liange paid attention to Bai Aoxue.

In the Chengxi Dynasty, he had already known what Qi Liange thought. He always thought that maybe he would have missed Bai Aoxue at this time if he hadn’t met her earlier.

Probably, Bai Aoxue would have married Qi Liange now!

Every time he thought of this, he felt a little lucky to meet Bai Aoxue earlier and make her fall in love with him successfully.

Realizing that Jun Yeyan was watching her, Bai Aoxue turned around in confusion to look at him and asked Jun Yeyan, “What’s wrong?”

Hearing the words of Bai Aoxue, Jun Yeyan came to his mind.

“Nothing! I just feel so lucky.” Jun Yeyan smiled lightly with relief in his eyes.

Bai Aoxue was extremely confused about Jun Yeyan’s inexplicable answer, but she didn’t go into this seriously.

“Presumably, when Qi Liange ascends the throne, there must be a turmoil. If we stay in the Nanyue Dynasty, will we be in trouble?” Bai Aoxue asked worriedly, looking at Jun Yeyan.

She always believed that their travel to the Nanyue Dynasty would not be tranquil and peaceful this time.

Hearing the words of Bai Aoxue, Jun Yeyan wrinkled his eyebrows slightly and then answered, “Yes, it will be turbulent. After all, when he ascends the throne, he must exterminate the party of Prime Minister Liu completely this time. But we will not get involved in this because we are protected by our identities, the envoys of Chengxi Dynasty. Anyway, Qi Liange will not be the enemy of Chengxi Dynasty before he finishes the state’s affairs.”

Bai Aoxue nodded after hearing the words of Jun Yeyan and said, “After the journey to the Nanyue Dynasty is over, I want to go to the Mobei Dynasty to visit my uncle. I haven’t been in contact with him for a long time. I am very worried about him. I don’t know how everything is going with him and Luoyan.”

Bai Aoxue paid all her attention to thinking, not realizing that Jun Yeyan shivered slightly when she mentioned Ye Zhaojue.

Jun Yeyan concealed it, leaving no trace, but his heart was perturbed violently.

He was thinking in his mind whether to tell this thing to Bai Aoxue on earth.

If he told her, she must set off for the Mobei Dynasty at once. But he didn’t know much about the state of affairs in the Mobei Dynasty at this moment. If she went there rashly, it would go for wool and come home shorn, instead.

But if he didn’t tell her, she must have some bad feelings for him in her mind because of this thing in the future when she knew the truth, which was something he didn’t want to see.

Just when Jun Yeyan was still hesitant, the carriage had already arrived at the courier hostel.

“Master, here we are.” Li Xiao’s voice spread to Jun Yeyan, drawing Jun Yeyan’s thoughts back completely.

Jun Yeyan came to his mind and met with Bai Aoxue’s inquiring eyes.

“What’s wrong with you today? Why are you always absent in mind? Li Xiao has already called you several times.” Bai Aoxue watched Jun Yeyan with her eyebrows wrinkled, wondering in her mind whether Jun Yeyan hid something from her.

Hearing Bai Aoxue’s question, Jun Yeyan did not change his color, but his fists were clenched tightly.

It seemed that he had made great efforts to hide his mood.

“Nothing. I just feel a little tired after several days’ journey.” Jun Yeyan was really unable to lie to Bai Aoxue. A lame lie made him feel guilty.

He thought that Bai Aoxue would unveil his lie, but actually, Bai Aoxue was a little anxious after hearing his words and said, “Do you take the medicine I gave you on time?”

Hearing the words of Bai Aoxue, Jun Yeyan was relieved a little in his mind. He pretended to be as indifferent as ever and said, “Yes. I take the medicine on time.”

But Bai Aoxue was not relieved in her mind after hearing the words of Jun Yeyan. She said calmly, “I will feel your pulse first when we go up later.”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

On hearing the words of Bai Aoxue, Jun Yeyan smiled lightly and said, “I know. I am clear about my illness. Don’t be worried.”

Then they went up the stairs. Jun Yeyan took Bai Aoxue to her room first, and then he left because he had something to tell Zhao. Watching Jun Yeyan leave, Bai Aoxue turned dark on her face.

While Wenxi and others beside Bai Aoxue didn’t know why she was so silent, but they did not ask more, either.

After a long while, Bai Aoxue said in an indifferent tone, “Mumian, have you realized recently that Nalan Youhong acted weirdly?”

Mumian thinking about it carefully on hearing the words of Bai Aoxue and then said, “No, Miss. Nalan Youhong was as normal as before.”

Bai Aoxue nodded gently after hearing the words of Mumian.

Did she think too much? Was it just because Jun Yeyan was really tired?

But she didn’t think it was reasonable. She always thought that Jun Yeyan hid something from her, which must be linked with her.

“But, Miss, I heard one day that Nalan Youhong said to himself that he didn’t know the 5th prince and wondered why he would do that. However, when I asked him what he was talking about, he said nothing. And he asked me not to tell you.” Mumian recalled carefully and finally thought of the anomaly of Nalan Youhong.

Hearing the words of Mumian, Bai Aoxue raised her eyebrows slightly.

But she did not say much. She just said calmly, “I know. The thing which happened today shouldn’t be spread to others. You should pay more attention to the men of Jun Yeyan. If anything is abnormal, tell me.”

“Miss..., are you suspicious of Prince?” Wenxi asked hesitantly.

Bai Aoxue was slightly stunned when hearing the words of Wenxi. Then she shook her head and said, “I just think that Jun Yeyan has hidden something from me.”

“Maybe, Prince thinks that you’d better be unknown to that, right?” Wenxi analyzed and said on hearing the words of Bai Aoxue.

Bai Aoxue was also a little hesitant in his mind after hearing the words of Wenxi. But what should be hidden from her?

Although she had known for a long time that Jun Yeyan had his own secrets, she didn’t ask him or feel uncomfortable for it in her mind. After all, she thought that he did not tell her because he had his own plans.

But this time, her feeling was different. She always thought that Jun Yeyan had concealed something very important to her!

“Fine. You just need to pay more attention. I have my plans for other things. I know better than anyone that Jun Yeyan will never hurt me, but I always think it is not simple this time.” Bai Aoxue said calmly with a determined look in her eyes.

Seeing this, Wenxi and others dared not to make a conclusion casually.

Bai Aoxue had been waiting for Jun Yeyan to come back to feel his pulse, but it lasted all night. He didn’t come back even until the dawn. Bai Aoxue was more anxious in her mind.

She got up and finished her washing quickly, planning to go out to look for Jun Yeyan. But she encountered Nalan Youhong who came to her after she pulled the door open.

“Where is Jun Yeyan?” Bai Aoxue asked bluntly, looking directly at Nalan Youhong.

Nalan Youhong could not come to his mind for a little while because he didn’t expect that Bai Aoxue would be so blunt.

Seeing that Nalan Youhong did not answer, Bai Aoxue was a little anxious in her mind and intended to look for him by herself. When she just detoured and passed by Nalan Youhong, she heard a joking voice.

“Oh... Master, why are you so worried about Prince? Why don’t you feel worried about me?”
