Fallen Imperial Consort from Heaven - C1010 1010 Qinshansu

Liu Ruo Qing looked at Yan Yuan and creased his eyebrows in worry. In these past few days, she had always felt that a mystery was rolling deeper and deeper, and her vision ahead of him had also become more and more blurry.

If the Yizhou’s water calamity was caused by someone, and there were more than 130 people who died, then the other party would have to be extremely vicious in order to do such a thing. But for that person, what was the purpose of causing this water calamity?

The next day, Yan Yuan was alone in front of the disaster area. He planned to go to the scene and take a look at the situation, and as expected, he noticed that something was amiss.

The location of the disaster area was separated by a city wall. Outside the city wall was the territory of New Yi Kingdom.

If New Yi Country had opened the gates to release the flood, they would have secretly dug a canal near the Yizhou. When the flood was released, they would have used the dug channel to pour water into Yizhou, causing an unavoidable flood.

This kind of trick wasn’t too difficult. As long as the magistrate investigated it with all his heart, he would be able to find out the truth.

It was a pity that the Zhixian was as unconscious as Zhu Yi Dou, if he had not personally come to take a look, the dead citizens of Yizhou would have died in vain.

Yan Yuan did not stay any longer. He returned that night, and upon his return, he instructed Tianshu and the others about some matters.

The Yizhou City that was slowly being built started to get busy.

At this moment, in a remote wooden house, a man wearing a brocade robe with black gold embroidery was sitting in the middle of the room, casually playing with two silver beads in his hands. There was not the least bit of anxiety on his face.

A moment later, a man in black appeared in front of him. Standing straight, she respectfully nodded at the man in embroidered clothes. “My lord.”

“Has anyone been there?”

“Yes, someone went to the disaster area.”

Hearing this, the person in front of him remained calm and continued to play with the silver balls in his hands without stopping.

“Is it Yan Yuan?”

“Yes.”

After this reply, there was a long period of silence within the wooden house.

When the black-clothed man saw that the man in embroidered clothes was silent, he didn’t dare to make a sound and just quietly waited at the side.

Although the expression on the embroidered clothed man’s face didn’t change, it was still as calm and unhurried as before. However, within those seemingly clear but turbid eyes, there was still a faint trace of worry.

“Yan Yuan…”

He muttered the word in a low voice, then laughed sarcastically.

The black clothed man looked up and glanced at the man in embroidered clothes, and said hesitantly: Master, should we send someone to kill Yan Yuan?

Seeing the man in embroidered clothes lift his hand slightly, he said: “The previous assassinations were unsuccessful, do you think Yan Yuan will give you another chance?”

Hearing this, the man in black looked embarrassed. Opening her mouth wide, she said, “This subordinate is incompetent, please forgive me.”

The colorful-clothed man didn’t say anything more on this question. He only said, “Yan Yuan is currently in the Yizhou, you should not act rashly.”

After saying that, he suddenly laughed, as if he was watching a show, “Do you think that we are the only ones who want to kill him in the Yizhou?”

When the black clothed man heard, he immediately understood. “Master is referring to the officials of Yizhou?”

The man in embroidered clothes smiled, but he didn’t reply. However, the expression on his face explained everything.

Following that, the black clothed man remembered something else, and said: “Master, the imperial court’s relief food has been robbed, the Kaiser has already sent Yan Xiao over. Yan Xiao and Yan Yuan are both in the Yizhou, this subordinate is worried that it will be inconvenient for us to do things.”

“Don’t worry about it, go and call Qin Sang over for me.”

“Yes.”

Yan Xiao and his group rushed towards the Yizhou without stopping. On the main road leading to the Yizhou, a figure suddenly rushed out from the side of the road, straight to the front of the horses.

Fortunately, Yan Xiao and the rest were fast enough to pull the reins in time to prevent the horses from running into the enemy.

Even so, the horse was still frightened. It let out a sharp hiss for a moment, and then it gradually calmed down.

Yan Xiao’s expression was somewhat ugly, his face was gloomy as he said to the person beside him: “Go over and see who it is.”

“Yes.”

Yan Xiao sat on the horse’s back, his eyes squinted, and an impatient look appeared on his face.

“Xiao …”

An extremely weak call came from the person lying on the ground in front of him. Even though it was very, very low, it was enough for everyone to hear.

Xiao Xiao?

Shen Qin, who was riding on her horse next to Yan Xiao, naturally also heard this name, and a trace of surprise flashed past her eyes.

Was this “Xiao” calling for the Pavilion Master?

It was impossible for Shen Qin to not know that the voice just now was a woman.

Shen Qin’s heart trembled slightly as she looked to the side at Yan Xiao. Indeed, when Yan Xiao heard the call, his expression became complicated, it was clear that Yan Xiao knew who this woman was.

Yan Xiao did indeed know who the person in front of him was.

Other than her, no one had ever called him that before.

He had once been young, and for the sake of this woman, he had been frivolous and crazy. He had even turned against his mother’s wife for her sake, and he hadn’t even returned to look at his when he was on his deathbed.

Now…

The corner of Yan Xiao’s mouth hooked up in ridicule.

She really did not let him down, she was alive and well, and now, could all that Yan Xiao had done back then be considered a joke?

“Bring her here.”

Yan Xiao’s cold voice seemed exceptionally calm, but when Shen Qin heard it, she was a little surprised.

To the Pavilion Master, this woman was definitely not someone she could simply meet by chance, or perhaps it was just knowing her.

Could it be …

Just as Shen Qin was thinking about the identity of this woman, the shadow guard had already brought her in front of Yan Xiao. Yan Xiao dismounted from his horse and walked over.

“Xiao …”

When the young woman saw him, her dull eyes suddenly lit up. Perhaps it was because of her severe injuries, but her aura was incredibly weak.

Yan Xiao stood in front of her and raised his hand slightly. He lightly caressed the woman’s face, causing her body to become a little stiff.

His fingers were very cold. She could no longer feel the warmth from his memory, nor the cold, unfamiliar look in his eyes.

She raised her lips and wanted to smile at him, but she was forcibly forced back by his ice-cold gaze.

“Qin Sang…”

Yan Xiao slowly spat out these two words from his hoarse voice, causing Shen Qin, who had heard the name, to instantly freeze over as he looked at the woman in front of him in disbelief.

Qin Sang…

A few months ago, she had heard her uncle say that when the Sixth Prince was young, he had deeply loved a woman. Later on, because the Grand Empress didn’t agree, she had even sent someone to kill Qin Sang while the Sixth Prince was still in the capital.

After returning to the capital and finding out about this, Sixth Prince had a falling out with the Imperial Concubine and her son. From then on, Sixth Prince left the capital for more than ten years and never returned to the capital.
