Qing Ju was shocked. "Why?"
Yang Qing didn't want to say anything. He could already smell danger from Miao Yi because of what happened to Zhuge Qing. He sighed. "Miao Yi is no longer the Miao Yi of the past. He's already showing signs of being ambitious. The more I do, the less he will tolerate me in the future."
Qing Ju really didn't want to see the situation he was talking about. "Milord, if you really have to say that, why don't you become independent? With your intelligence, you will definitely not lose to Miao Yi in the future."
"Haha!" Yang Qing shook his head and smiled. "Actually, if I think about it carefully, Jin Man was right about me. There are some things that Miao Yi can do, but I can't. This has nothing to do with intelligence. All in all, what's the difference between me and Miao Yi? In Miao Yi's humble words, this is the key — he's not well-educated! "
"…" This explanation left Qing Ju speechless.
On a barren planet, in a rocky forest, Yun Zhiqiu stared at the stars in the sky and slowly put away the starbell in her hand. Her expression was unreadable.
As the Mistress of the House, Qin Weiwei had still reported Zhuge Qing's death to her. Yun Zhiqiu was shocked and didn't believe that Miao Yi would execute Zhuge Qing. She asked why, but Qin Weiwei said she didn't know either. She then contacted Miao Yi to verify the matter herself. Miao Yi seemed a little annoyed and admitted that he had important matters to attend to, so he didn't want to waste time on her? Luo Huangzui
She knew Miao Yi too well. The fact that he had sent Yan Xiu and Yang Zhaoqing to keep an eye on the Middle Constellation Palace meant that he was protecting Zhuge Qing. Why would he execute Zhuge Qing for no reason?
Yun Zhiqiu took out her starbell and contacted Yang Zhaoqing to ask what was going on.
Yang Zhaoqing had no choice but to explain the situation, expressing that he was also surprised that Milord suddenly wanted to execute Zhuge Qing. He wanted to inform her and let her handle it, but Milord stopped him.
"Climb up to the roof and sing?" Yun Zhiqiu frowned as she held the starbell in her hand. After pondering for a long time, she suddenly turned her head and said, "Yan Xiu!"
Yan Xiu quietly appeared beside her like a ghost, his hoarse voice eerily calling out, "Milord!"
Yun Zhiqiu briefly explained how Zhuge Qing was sentenced to death by Miao Yi. "Make a trip to the small world and use your divine ability to investigate the guards of the Middle Constellations Palace, especially the one who reported the news. I have a feeling that something is amiss!"
Yan Xiu said hesitantly, "Madam, Master asked me to protect your safety. Should we wait until Master's matters are settled?"
Yun Zhiqiu: "I don't need your protection here. Go now, right now!" She was worried that someone might have tampered with the evidence. She was afraid that if she was late, someone would destroy the evidence.
Yan Xiu was conflicted. "Should I inform the Prophet about this?"
Yun Zhiqiu abruptly turned around and glared at Yan Xiu, "Yan Xiu, I can't control you anymore, can I? Who had the final say in family matters? You have to understand that your identity is not only Sir's subordinate, but also a member of the family. If something happens to the family, do you understand? "
Yan Xiu knew that she was going to use the principle of a man taking care of the outside world and a woman taking care of the inside world. Even Miao Yi was afraid of this woman's temper, let alone him. He helplessly bowed and said, "Yes!"
Yun Zhiqiu watched him leave, her expression gradually becoming more and more worried. From a certain perspective, she hoped that someone had tampered with the evidence and not Miao Yi's violent outburst. Recalling how Miao Yi had lost control of his emotions all those years ago, not trusting anyone and even wanting to execute Ji Meili and the other concubines, she was very worried. She was worried that Miao Yi would turn into someone who wouldn't recognize his own family. If that really happened, what would be the point of the two of them not trusting each other anymore?
As soon as Yan Xiu arrived in space, he immediately contacted Miao Yi and informed him of what Yun Zhiqiu had instructed him to do.
'Go! Go! ' This was Miao Yi's reply.
Miao Yi was a little frustrated. He had been feeling it ever since he found out that Zhuge Qing was dead, and there was a hint of regret in his heart. It was precisely because of this that he didn't want to talk about this matter anymore. However, it seemed like there was no end to it. Qin Weiwei had contacted him, and now Yun Zhiqiu had contacted him. Even Yan Xiu had come to join in on the fun. Were they all out of their minds? Didn't they know that he had important matters to attend to?
While he couldn't resolve his family matters, there was good news for the matter at hand. Yang Zhaoqing put away the Star Bell and reported, "Milord, the forces surrounding the Celestial Avenue have been withdrawn!"
"Oh!" Miao Yi quickly discarded his distracting thoughts and rubbed his chin as he muttered to himself, "Could it be that there's already a conclusion to the war?"
His own information network couldn't immediately grasp the movements in Ying Jiuguang's lair, and Xiahou Ling didn't want to tell him the truth either. He didn't know if it was because he was afraid of exposing the Xiahou family's spies, not to mention that he had just offended Xiahou Ling.
Huang Fujun? There was still no news from Y's side, so he could only contact Xiahou Chengyu immediately. However, Xiahou Chengyu didn't know what was going on either.
Just as he was about to contact Pang Guan, Bi Yue took the initiative to send him a message, informing him that Ying Jiuguang had been defeated in battle. Ying Jiuguang himself had died on the battlefield, beheaded by the Imperial Guards. Ying Jiuguang's personal troops were utterly defeated. Tian Yuan had fought his way out of the encirclement with Xiong Qi and was currently being pursued. She urgently sent a message to Bi Yue, telling her to escape as soon as possible!
Even under such circumstances, Tian Yuan was still concerned about her safety. Bi Yue was on the verge of tears. She was panicking and didn't know what to do. There was nothing she could do, so she asked Miao Yi if he had any way to save Tian Yuan, hoping that he could ask the Xiahou family for help.
Putting aside the fact that Miao Yi had no way to save Tian Yuan, even if he did, he wouldn't do it. Putting aside the fact that he wouldn't be able to answer to Haiyuan Ke if he saved Tian Yuan, Tian Yuan himself would become Tian Yuan's enemy instead of his benefactor once the matter between Bi Yue and Haiyuan Ke was exposed. There was no way he could save Tian Yuan.
However, he couldn't say it like that. Miao Yi verbally agreed to ask the Xiahou family for help. At the same time, he told her not to be afraid and to come to Tian Yuan Planet immediately. He would ensure her safety.
Putting aside his friendship with Bi Yue, he wouldn't let anything happen to Bi Yue in such a chaotic situation just for the sake of Haiyuan Ke. At the same time, he also wanted to answer to Haiyuan Ke.
After comforting Bi Yue, Miao Yi's spirits were lifted. The grudge between him and the Ying family had finally been settled, and his biggest threat had been resolved.
He didn't have the time to be happy about it. He contacted Xiahou Chengyu again and told her the good news. He told her to take advantage of the Fourth Army's weakness to immediately ask for Master Qing's permission. Using the excuse that the Fourth Army's troops had changed and that many of the Celestial Avenue's Governor and other similar authorities were from the Ying family, Miao Yi requested for the Imperial Guards to temporarily take over the key positions in Celestial Avenue to stabilize the situation. He also requested for the Celestial Avenue's Patrol Inspector's subordinates to temporarily take over the Celestial Avenue's Grand Commander's position so that he could have full control of the Celestial Avenue.
Xiahou Chengyu was especially careful not to let the Xiahou family know about this. Using the Ying family's matter as an excuse, he could just say that it was Master Qing's idea.
"Ying Jiuguang is dead …" Xiahou Chengyu almost laughed out loud in the Heavenly Palace. How dare they steal her position as Empress and frame her son? Now they know what kind of consequences they'll face. Now these bitches in the harem know how powerful I am, right?
Hearing the footsteps outside the room, Xiahou Chengyu knew that E 'Mei had arrived. Xiahou Chengyu quickly retracted his smile and put on a stern face. When E' Mei came closer, she slapped the tea table and shouted, "How long does Your Majesty plan to keep me under house arrest for?"
E 'Mei sighed and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. It should be soon."
Xiahou Chengyu gave her a sidelong glance, feeling disgusted. She didn't believe that the Xiahou family didn't know about the Ying family's defeat, yet they still didn't tell her anything. She scoffed and said, "No, I must ask His Majesty for an explanation!" She then stood up and strode outside.
E 'Mei followed closely behind and begged, "Your Majesty, you can't rush this!"
Xiahou Chengyu didn't care about this kind of thing, but she was stopped by the guards at the entrance of the Heavenly Palace. They wouldn't let her out. Xiahou Chengyu lost his temper and took out his Star Bell to contact Shangguan Qing. Soon, the guards received instructions from their superiors and let Xiahou Chengyu pass. At the same time, they lifted the seal on the Heavenly Palace.
Meanwhile, Miao Yi, who was waiting on the city gate tower, didn't receive any news from Xiahou Chengyu. Instead, he received a very surprising piece of news.
It was Yun Zhiqiu's message. At first, Miao Yi thought that Yun Zhiqiu was annoyed by Zhuge Qing's matter. He didn't expect Yun Zhiqiu to send him a very surprising piece of news.
To be more precise, Marshal Yin Linghu Douzhong's wife, Shao Xianghua, asked Yun Zhiqiu to pass on a message. Linghu Douzhong wanted to lead an army of fifty million and defect to Miao Yi.
Miao Yi asked Yun Zhiqiu with his Star Bell, 'You're not joking, are you?'
Yun Zhiqiu, 'Niu Er, would I joke about something like this? When Linghu Douzhong was still a Celestial Sovereign, Shao Xianghua and I exchanged contact information. I didn't expect Shao Xianghua to contact me because of this. '
Miao Yi, 'Linghu Douzhong defect to me? Isn't this a big joke? It's more likely that I defect to him. '
Yun Zhiqiu, 'I don't think it's possible either. But the person who contacted me was indeed Shao Xianghua. She said repeatedly that Marshal Linghu is serious and that he sincerely wishes to defect to me. What do you want me to say?'
Miao Yi, 'Nonsense! Who is he? To put it bluntly, he's a criminal who helped Ying Jiuguang in his rebellion. Even if I could take him in, would I dare to? Also, those who are willing to follow him at this time are all his direct subordinates. An army of fifty million all the way to the Nether Realm. He can wipe me out with a single breath. I won't be able to do anything to him in the future. It's more likely that I'm sick in the head. Tell him that he can't take it.
Yun Zhiqiu, 'Fine.'
Miao Yi took the Star Bell as a joke. He thought that Linghu Douzhong was desperate and had no choice but to seek him out because he really couldn't find a place to go. 'How could he not?' Miao Yi continued to wait for news from Xiahou Chengyu.
Not long after, Yun Zhiqiu sent another message. Miao Yi, 'What's wrong? Are they still pestering me? '
Yun Zhiqiu, 'Shao Xianghua helped Linghu Douzhong pass on a new situation. Linghu Douzhong said that this is Lord Qing's will. He said that as long as you agree to take him in, he will let Linghu Douzhong go.'
'Lord Qing's will?' Miao Yi was confused. 'What does Lord Qing mean?
