Fallen Imperial Consort from Heaven - C1015 A woman I loved more than a decade ago

“Yes.”

Qin Sang nodded strongly, like a well-behaved girl, her face was flushed a little, “Xiao Xiao, you are so nice to me.”

Yan Xiao did not speak, he only nodded his head lightly, and when he turned around, his expression had already become completely cold.

Walking out of Qin Sang’s room, he ordered people to call Shen Tang.

“Pavilion Master, what orders do you have for this subordinate?”

“Come here.”

He whispered a few instructions into Shen Tang’s ear, and upon seeing Shen Tang’s face, he revealed a trace of shock, but did not ask any further, “Yes, this subordinate will do it.”

As for the Yizhou, Yan Yuan had sent out guards to investigate New Yi Nation and they returned the next day.

“Your Highness, just as you have expected, at the border between Yizhou and New Yi Country, the people of New Yi Country had secretly dug a canal. And the function of that canal was to open a gate and release the flood water into the Yizhou when there was too much rain in New Yi Nation.

Even though he had already expected such a result, after hearing the exact news from the hidden guards, Yan Yuan’s face still darkened to the extreme.

“It seems like New Yi Country has had enough stable days these past few years!”

“I remember that New Yi Country is a subordinate state of the Easternum. They have been following orders for the past few years to pay tribute to us, how did they suddenly do such a thing. With their military capabilities, they should know that if we were to find out what happened to them, their lives would be in danger.

“Since they dared to do this, they must have already thought of a plan to deal with it after the matter is exposed.”

Yan Yuan said with a cold face, his expression extremely ugly.

“Is there any response that would allow them to take the risk of offending the imperial court and become so fearless?”

Liu Ruo Qing said as she pointed to her chin, while deep in thought.

Yan Yuan slightly closed his eyes. Similarly, if he was thinking about something, he did not answer Liu Ruo Qing’s question.

The New Yi Kingdom was not afraid that the government would start a war against them. If they were to secretly do such a thing, their backer would definitely not be simple.

Yan Yuan’s eyes flashed as if he had thought of something.

After a long while, he slowly spat out a few words, “It’s the Yizhou again …”

Hearing his low mutter, Liu Ruo Qing’s gaze shifted. “Are you saying that the fearless and fearless New Yi Country is backed up by the power of the Yizhou?”

“I was only guessing. Everything happened so coincidentally, so people have to think about it.”

If the New Yi Country’s flood was related to the Yizhou’s mysterious power, then this Yizhou was probably more difficult to deal with than any previous enemies.

Yan Yuan looked at Liu Ruo Qing who was sitting opposite to his, her face still extremely pale, and somewhat regretted bringing her here to take the risk because of a few casual words from her.

“My prince, there’s news from Sixth Prince.”

The guard’s voice came from outside the door.

“Come in.”

The guard pushed open the door and entered, handing a small slip of paper to Yan Yuan. “This is a message from Sixth Prince, please have a look, Your Highness.”

Yan Yuan took it, and quickly scanned through the contents of the letter. His expression became heavy and complicated.

Seeing him in such a state, Liu Ruo Qing asked worriedly: “What did Sixth Brother say?”

Yan Yuan handed over the slip of paper in his hand to Liu Ruo Qing. Liu Ruo Qing took a glance at it, her eyes filled with unconcealable shock.

She held onto the slip of paper and tightened her grip, then noticed another detail, “Who is the Qin Sang on this slip of paper?”

“The woman that Sixth Brother fell in love with more than ten years ago.”

Liu Ruo Qing’s face revealed an expression of shock, and then she heard Yan Xiao talking about the matter between Yan Xiao and Qin Sang over ten years ago.

After a while, Liu Ruo Qing gradually digested the situation between Yan Xiao and herself and understood why Sixth Brother left the capital without being notified. It was because of this Qin Sang.

Although the paper slip did not explain in detail, Liu Ruo Qing could deduce a few things from it.

“Seems like this Qin Sang has been hiding by Sixth Brother’s side for more than ten years.”

As he spoke till here, Liu Ruo Qing frowned, “To be able to wait for more than ten years, the mastermind must be very difficult to deal with.”

Yan Yuan knew what she was worried about, so he reached out to grab her hand and comforted her: “Don’t worry, I’ve already arranged everything. There won’t be a problem.”

Liu Ruo Qing nodded her head, and did not ask Yan Yuan about his arrangements in detail. In her heart, she only hoped that after this incident, all the rain and wind would pass, and not stir up any trouble again.

“It’s very likely that Qin Sang is approaching Sixth Brother intentionally. Do you want to remind Sixth Brother?”

“Don’t worry, Sixth Brother knows what to do.”

The couple talked about this for a while longer, before they received news that Zhu Yi Dou was going to invite him to the restaurant for a feast, and a few officials of Yizhou were going to pay him a visit.

“I’ll go over and take a look. You can rest in your room peacefully.”

“Alright.”

When Yan Yuan came out from the backyard, he saw Zhu Yi Dou waiting for him at the entrance. Upon seeing him come out, his face immediately revealed a smile, as if he had forgotten about how he was cheated so badly by Yan Yuan that he ran out of money.

“Lord Yan.”

“According to the rumors, the Lord Zhu has asked for me to go to the restaurant for a feast?”

Yes, yes, Sir. When the Masters of the Yizhou heard that the Lord Messenger was working hard for the victims of disasters in the Yizhou, they especially wanted to set up a feast to reward Sir Yan.

Although Zhu Yi Dou looked respectful and fawning on the outside, he had long hated Yan Yuan to death in his heart.

Yan Yuan was clear on this point, but he was also aware that this time’s restaurant’s feast was most likely a Hongmen’s Banquet for him.

Yan Yuan’s heart was clear, but he pretended not to know on the surface. Hearing Zhu Yi Dou’s words, he laughed: “Since the various Masters are kind, then I should not have rejected. Lord Zhu, please wait, I will go back to my room to change my clothes.”

“Yes, then this official will be waiting for Sir Yan.”

Yan Yuan returned to his room, then called over Tianshu, who had been hiding in the darkness the entire time and had not been noticed by Zhu Yi Dou, and said: “You few stay here and protect the wangfei’s safety. Don’t worry about other matters, understand?”

“Yes, your subordinate understands.”

Hearing Yan Yuan’s orders, Liu Ruo Qing felt uneasy, but she knew that Yan Yuan had already arranged everything. She did not have much martial arts left, so she did not dare to hold him back easily.

“Don’t worry, it’ll be fine. Wait for me to come back.”

“Yes.”

Liu Ruo Qing nodded her head and retracted the unease in her eyes. After Yan Yuan finished changing and went out, she was still worried.

When Yan Yuan followed Zhu Yi Dou to the restaurant, everyone who should have been in the private room had all arrived.

“Sir Yan is here. This official welcomes you with respect.”

“Sir Yan, this way, please …”

“This official, the Yizhou Prefect, greets Lord Yan.”

“The Yizhou Dao Pillar of this official …”

“General Yizhou March Sima …”

“…”
