Bathed in the stars and moonlight, Miao Yi and Yun Zhiqiu ascended the platform and gazed out at the vast night sky.
After the pleasure, it was Yun Zhiqiu who suggested that Miao Yi put aside all his official duties and accompany her for a walk.
Both husband and wife were dressed in loose robes, their long hair flowing freely in the night breeze.
Tranquility. After venting his anger, Miao Yi's emotions had also calmed down. He slowly turned to look at Yun Zhiqiu, who was leaning against the railing and gazing into the distance. He asked, "You should know what Yang Qing's ultimate goal is, right?"
Yun Zhiqiu smiled faintly. "It's precisely because I know what he's after."
Miao Yi furrowed his brows and asked in confusion, "Then why did you still suppress it?"
"The night view of Traversing Moon Palace is so beautiful!" Yun Zhiqiu sighed, not answering his question. Her hair brushed against her face from time to time, and her gaze was gentle as she admired the night sky. She said reluctantly, "You are the one who is too emotional. As for you, has Yang Qing ever plotted against you? Has he ever betrayed you? Has he ever done anything to harm you? Not only did he not, but he has also done you a great service! "
Miao Yi was a little taken aback by Yun Zhiqiu's words. If he were to look at it separately, if Yang Qing had only targeted him personally, then Yang Qing really hadn't done him any wrong … After a while, he realized that Yun Zhiqiu was changing the topic. "What's the difference between targeting you and targeting me?"
Hearing this, Yun Zhiqiu smiled from the bottom of her heart. However, she shook her head lightly. "At the very least, it shows that he has always been on the same path as you, and that he has never been disloyal to you! As for me … from his point of view, is there anything wrong with what he's doing? For someone like Yang Qing, do you think it's possible for him to willingly let his own daughter be his concubine without a single complaint? He's not a blockhead. If it were Yang Zhaoqing and Yan Xiu's daughter in the same situation, it wouldn't be just the two of them — anyone would feel the same way. As long as you have a choice, it'll be the same even if you, Niu Er, have a daughter in the future! "
Miao Yi sighed. "I understand! It's just that his methods are often impossible to guard against. Sister Qiu, I'm very worried. Aren't you worried at all? "
"No! You don't understand! " Yun Zhiqiu vehemently denied it. She turned around and looked at him with a burning gaze. "Niu Er, let me ask you. Based on the Guang Clan, which concubine in the Guang Clan would dare to use force to get rid of Consort Mei Niang?"
Miao Yi was taken aback. He asked suspiciously, "Are you trying to say …?"
Yun Zhiqiu shook her head and said, "You can just reply to me."
Miao Yi pondered for a moment, then said, "I wouldn't dare!"
Yun Zhiqiu continued, "So what if it's Ying Jiuguang? Ying Jiuguang wants to put Zhan Ruyi on the throne. Do you dare to use force to get rid of Xiahou Chengyu? "
Miao Yi shook his head and said, "I wouldn't dare! All kinds of methods are possible, but they can't use force. They can't succeed in the Heavenly Palace. Even if they aren't in the Heavenly Palace, Xiahou Chengyu will be accompanied by an army with many experts. If they fail, no one will be able to bear the consequences. Xiahou Chengyu is the Empress, not an ordinary concubine! "
Yun Zhiqiu nodded and said, "That's right! He, Yang Qing, wouldn't dare to use force against me. He wouldn't be able to bear the consequences if he were to be exposed. That's why he can only resort to sneaky little tricks! As long as Milord can move forward and stand at a higher position, I will be safer. Those little tricks that can't even be brought to light are nothing to fear! I'm not afraid of his intelligence or his methods. I'm just afraid that he isn't smart enough. I'm afraid that his methods aren't good enough. I'm afraid that he doesn't have the ability to serve Milord! If he doesn't have the ability, getting rid of him will be as easy as flipping my hand. If he does, then I will allow him to show off his abilities! "
She waved her sleeves and pointed at the distant mountain that was faintly visible under the moonlight. "If Milord can climb to the top and look down upon the world, then I can accompany Milord to enjoy the scenery from the top. So what if Yang Qing is smart? So what if he has many tricks up his sleeves? I will look down on him from above and allow him to jump around as he pleases. In my eyes, it's all just a little trick. So what if he jumps around happily? He's just a stepping stone for me to use to climb to the top. When the time comes, it's up to me whether I want him or not. Who's afraid of who? "
"…" Miao Yi opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something.
Yun Zhiqiu raised her hand and gently placed it on his lips. "I, Yun Zhiqiu, am the legitimate wife that you, Miao Yi, have married. This is something that no one can replace. No one can take away the title of 'legitimate wife' from you. In this household, aside from me, who else would dare to call you Niu Er?" She pointed a finger at her feet. Her bright eyes shone like the stars under the moonlight. She spoke in an overbearing and sonorous voice, "I will stand right here. No matter what storms come, no matter what storms there are, no matter what storms there are, no matter how the heavens and earth are turned upside down, I will not budge!"
She was exuberant, and her tone was deafening!
Miao Yi stared at her blankly. He realized that in that instant, Yun Zhiqiu's body had suddenly erupted with a strange elegance!
That elegance was breathtaking and majestic, as if it could swallow the entire galaxy. It made him feel as if he was in a dream.
What he didn't know was that under the collar of his chest, the dark green bead also flashed with a dark light.
"Niu Er! All you need to know is that no one can take what's mine. Even if Yang Qing is unparalleled in his intelligence and methods, even ten thousand Yang Qings wouldn't be able to do it! If he really did it, then I definitely wouldn't have lost to him, but to you, Niu Er. It would be you, Niu Er, who wants to abandon me. As long as you, Niu Er, stand firmly behind me and support me, I'm not afraid of anyone. The tricks of mere demons and monsters are nothing to me! What about Zhan Ruyi? What about Ying Jiuguang's rebellion? Even if the heavens fell and the earth crumbled, as long as Lord Qing stood guard for her, who could touch Zhan Ruyi? What's there to fear about a mere Yang Qing? No matter how nimble he is, he's still just a lackey serving Milord. I'm just a woman, and I don't even care about him. Do you think Milord is afraid of him? Are you saying that Milord's breadth of mind is inferior to a woman like me? "
'That's right!' Miao Yi's eyes brightened as he suddenly realized something. As long as he grew stronger, Yun Zhiqiu's protection would become stronger, and the chances of her being harmed by martial arts would become lower. The more intelligent and powerful Yang Qing was, the more he could strengthen Yun Zhiqiu's protection. As long as he protected Yun Zhiqiu, all sorts of tricks would be useless. Unless he didn't trust Yun Zhiqiu and was bewitched by her, he should remember this as a warning!
As soon as he thought of this, Miao Yi couldn't help but sigh. Was Yang Qing scheming against Yun Zhiqiu, or was Yun Zhiqiu scheming against Yang Qing? One was intelligent, while the other was tolerant. No matter how many tricks the former had up his sleeves, they were nothing more than flowers blooming and withering in the world of the latter.
Thinking of this, Miao Yi secretly realized something. At the same time, he blushed with shame. How could he allow Yang Qing to mess with his mind? To think that he was even less broad-minded than a woman. He couldn't help but cup his fists to Yun Zhiqiu and say, "Miao Yi's broad-mindedness cannot compare to Milord's! After listening to Milord's words, Miao Yi was suddenly enlightened! "
Yun Zhiqiu smiled when she saw the sudden change in his expression. This was the reason why she insisted that he put aside his work and bring him out for a walk. If he kept brooding over Yang Qing's actions, how would he be able to interact with Yang Qing with that attitude? His emotions would also affect other matters.
Unexpectedly, after she smiled, she raised her brows and said, "Don't give me that. I'm not a broad-minded person. I'm just a little woman! I'll be honest with you. If Zhuge Qing dares to cross the line, even if Yang Qing doesn't get rid of her, I will! Besides, I don't want to see a second woman like her by your side. Otherwise, I don't mind turning her into a second Zhuge Qing! I'll say it again. Without my permission, no other woman can even dream of entering this house. Stop trying to flatter me. I won't fall for it! "
In the blink of an eye, she had turned into a shrew again!
Miao Yi's good mood immediately soured. His face darkened, and the thought of Huang Fujun flashed through his mind. Y's shadow. He had actually thought about how to make Huang Fujun. He couldn't just let Y enter the house without giving her an explanation for the rest of his life, could he? Huang Fujun? Y's background was already troublesome to begin with. He wanted to wait until he was stronger before dealing with it. Who knew that Yun Zhiqiu's words would place another rock on top of his head? One rock on top of the other, and he didn't know when he would be able to overcome it.
However, he refused to admit it. He scoffed, "You're the one who's overthinking things!"
"I hope so! Alright. Milord still has many official matters to attend to, so I won't disturb you any further! " Yun Zhiqiu said, then turned around and flew down from the platform, heading towards the depths of the courtyard. Xue 'Er followed closely behind, while Qian' Er looked up from below the platform, waiting for Miao Yi.
Up on the platform, Miao Yi walked up to the railing and looked at the figure slowly disappearing into the courtyard, a little speechless. She was the one who told him to put down his official business and come out for a walk. Now, she was also the one who told him to take care of official business and run off first.
However, when he looked back at the vast night sky, the depression in his heart was indeed swept away. He had let go of the things that he had been brooding over. Not only did he feel refreshed, but he also felt a sense of heroism. He thought about how tormenting Yun Zhiqiu was a pretty good way to vent his frustrations. When he recalled Yun Zhiqiu's miserable look in the bathroom, he couldn't help but smile mockingly …
The phantom city was brightly lit, and the lights on the lake were dim. Boats came and went.
Inside the Pavilion of Trust, Cao Man's face was hidden in the darkness by a window that overlooked the city.
Now that the storm had passed, he was naturally back. However, he gripped the Star Bell tightly in his hand. To him, it seemed like another storm was about to arrive.
Ying Jiuguang's sudden fall had shocked him. He knew very well that his brothers had only helped a little and hadn't done much to help Xia Houling. He was worried that Xia Houling would cause trouble for them, so even he had gone into hiding early on. However, Xia Houling had actually managed to topple Heavenly King Ying, who had dominated the world for so many years. Ying Jiuguang couldn't even retaliate, and Xia Houling had destroyed him in one fell swoop!
He had borrowed the other's strength and won cleanly!
At the time of the incident, he was already aware of the situation in the Forbidden Garden. Xia Houling, who had caused a huge wave, was reading a book under the big tree by the light of a lamp. He was playing the zither leisurely, waving his sleeves lightly. His elegance caused the world outside to turn upside down, forcing a powerful figure to die with regret.
Now that things had come to this, he realized that he had underestimated his little brother and was ashamed of his inferiority. Now, he seemed to understand why his father had allowed his little brother to take over the position of Family Head. His father had a good eye for people.
Now that the people in Xia Houling's manor who had been gathered in the forbidden garden understood the truth of the matter and what had happened outside, no one dared to gossip about their little brother behind his back anymore. They were all stunned by the grace his little brother had displayed that day.
