Zhu Shen’s expression showed contempt. Since the State Preceptor had some interest in that woman, if he were to make a move on her in the future, he thought there was a good chance he could help bring them together. In the end, however, the little woman was just a salacious widow. She had gone to the young master’s room in the middle of the night!
How shameless!
…
Jiang Yeqian calmly and mysteriously walked through the backyard. When he returned to his room from the window, he noticed that there were candles lit in Lu Yan’s room next door, which piqued his curiosity.
After he returned to his room, he changed into his inner garments to give the impression that he had been unable to sleep. He opened the door and Zhao Xin quickly opened his eyes.
“Your Excellency!!”
“Next door…has Master Lu not fallen asleep?”
“Lady Qi has gone next door to meet with Master Lu.” Zhao Xin’s tone was a little disdainful as he spoke.
“…”
Jiang Yeqian raised his eyebrows.
There was gloom in his black but bright eyes.
He grunted and asked.
“Why did she go looking for Master Lu in the middle of the night?”
“This servant does not know.”
“How long has she been inside?”
“About half an hour.”
When Jiang Yeqian heard this, his eyes turned very dark. Feigning a look of disinterest, he closed the door.
Inside, he leaned against the door panel, his expression hideous.
Why did she go look for Lu Yan in the middle of the night? Could they possibly be joking around at such a time? In any case, Jiang Yeqian was a rank-nine and he could easily tune into their breathing next door over the wall.
There were indeed two sets of breathing there.
So… what the hell were they doing!!
Jiang Yeqian was very much bothered.
With a dark expression, he opened the door again and walked over to the next door without expression.
Dong Jing was on guard.
“H-head Grand Secretariat…”
“Move.”
“Your Excellency still hasn’t slept despite it being so late. Do you have some matters you need to discuss with my master?”
“Yes, I do.”
“My master has already gone to bed. Regardless of what you have to discuss with my master, please do so tomorrow morning.”
Dong Jing did not want his master to be interrupted in whatever he was doing and refused Jiang Yeqian on the spot.
“Move aside!!” Jiang Yeqian ordered with a calm expression.
“Whatever your Excellency has to discuss, please do so tomorrow morning!” Dong Jing was not Jiang Yeqian’s servant so he was not afraid of him. He was from the Lu family!
“I’m the Head Grand Secretariat, “Jiang Yeqian said heavily.
Dong Jing’s eyes shone. “You were…the Head Grand Secretariat,” he reminded him.
Jiang Yeqian was exasperated.
Li Ruoxuan had not slept; he was sitting on his bed meditating to improve his cultivation as soon as possible. After catching Jiang Yeqian’s voice outside his room, Li Ruoxuan got up and walked out the door. Zhu Shen quickly gave a slight nod.
Li Ruoxuan noticed the farce on this side of the corridor at a glance and walked over with his eyebrows raised.
“What are you doing here in the middle of the night?”
Jiang Yeqian ignored him.
Li Ruoxuan said sarcastically, “Are you having a meeting, hm?”
Jiang Yeqian was stunned for a second. He turned around, facing Li Ruoxuan’s one eye, and said with a superficial smile, “Lady Qi has been summoned by her majesty the empress. I’m afraid that Master Lu might do something out of line or improper toward Lady Qi, so I’m calling her to come out.”
Li Ruoxuan was duly shocked and pointed to the room door. “She went looking for Lu Yan in the middle of the night?” This woman was so annoying.
Jiang Yeqian suddenly pushed all of the mess onto Li Ruoxuan. “Your Excellency, since you are responsible for the safety of this trip, please take care of this matter.”
Li Ruoxuan was furious. He kicked the door heavily and shouted, “Qi Qingyao, get the f*ck out of here.”
Inside the room, Qi Qingyao and Lu Yan had long picked up on the noise outside. Qi Qingyao had wanted to ask Lu Yan to burn all these notes but doing that in the middle of the night would attract too much attention, so she hurriedly asked Lu Yan to put them away, reminding him that they had to burn them if they were free tomorrow morning.
After they were done sorting out the papers, they heard the sound of someone kicking the door.
Qi Qingyao went over and opened the door.
Pretending to be unhappy, she glanced at the man at the door.
“What’s with all the noise in the middle of the night?”
Frost appeared in Li Ruoxuan’s eyes as he said sarcastically, “How horny are you that you came to Lu Yan’s room in the middle of the night just because you can’t sleep in yours?”
Qi Qingyao would have retorted during ordinary times but right now, she did not want Li Ruoxuan to suspect too much so she shrugged lazily and admitted, “That’s right, I’m really horny. Do you not understand the mind of a horny young woman?”
With those words, she promptly walked back to her room calmly.
Li Ruoxuan, “…”
Jiang Yeqian, “…”
Li Ruoxuan’s expression was livid as he roared at Qi Qingyao’s back, “If you’re too horny, the Head Grand Secretariat and I will be able to satiate you anytime.”
Without turning back, Qi Qingyao replied cynically.
“A blind man and a lame man! Why don’t you both take a piss and a look at your reflections…”
Li Ruoxuan, “…a blind man.”
Jiang Yeqian, “…a lame man!!!”
After Li Ruoxuan returned to his senses, he covered his right eye, turning red from embarrassment, and shouted angrily, “Say that again if you dare.”
“Blind man! Blind man! Blind man!!” Qi Qingyao turned around and repeated the words three times with a fake look of innocence.
“Are you looking to die?” Li Ruoxuan rushed in front of her like an arrow and grabbed Qi Qingyao’s neck with just one hand.
Qi Qingyao already feared for her life ever since she learned of the possibility that Li Ruoxuan might be the grand master. Hence, now that he had grabbed her neck, she was not particularly nervous. Instead, she said somewhat leisurely, “I am looking to die. Kill me, you two, if it will cheer you up.”
Li Ruoxuan looked at the white and slender neck under his palm.
He just needed to exert a little force.
Then her delicate neck would snap immediately.
Her carotid artery was also beating hard in his palm…
Li Ruoxuan took a deep breath and let go.
He said viciously.
“Don’t go knocking on other men’s doors in the middle of the night!”
Qi Qingyao looked as if she did not care too much, but she sighed in relief internally.
The lack of gratitude in her behavior made Li Ruoxuan gnash his teeth with hatred. “If you really have to knock on someone’s door, come knock on mine. I welcome it at any time.”
“You’re insane!”
Qi Qingyao left these words behind and darted into her room.
Seeing that Li Ruoxuan did not kill her, Jiang Yeqian knew that he was afraid of the emperor’s edict… After all, he was serving under Her Majesty. Regardless of how unhappy Li Ruoxuan was, he would not kill Qi Qingyao now.
Jiang Yeqian immediately stepped into the room and glanced at Lu Yan, who was dressed in a thin robe. He felt a little disgusted but feigned casualness as he said, “She came to your room and you were together for half an hour. What was that about?”
“What does it have to do with the State Preceptor?” Lu Yan looked at the man leaning against the door frame and smiled slyly.
Jiang Yeqian, “…”
Seeing that Jiang Yeqian was already speechless from rage, Li Ruoxuan wavered a little. With how calm he seemed, could it be that he only held a good opinion of her but did not actually like her?
If not, it did not make sense why he was indifferent when he saw him strangle her just now…
Thinking of this, Li Ruoxuan turned around and walked over while saying, “I’m the one who proposed to her before. Although I was rejected, as someone who fancies her, I would like to know what you did with her.”
Lu Yan ignored Li Ruoxuan’s question. Disregarding that what they discussed that night could not be revealed, he would still not tell them just because he wanted to annoy the two.
Remaining calm and composed, Lu Yan said, “Didn’t you already say it? She was just horny… So, guess for yourself what we did just now.”
Li Ruoxuan, “You…”
Saying that, Lu Yan got up, walked over, and closed the door.
Li Ruoxuan and Jiang Yeqian looked at each other before Li Ruoxuan returned to the room, neutering coldly.
Jiang Yeqian was left standing there alone. He was silent for a long time before he trudged back to his room…
Almost no one slept that night.
Qi Qingyao could not stop thinking about how she could get her revenge now that Li Ruoxuan was a grand master, and what self-protection measures she would have to take…
Lu Yan was also thinking about this.
Li Ruoxuan was busy thinking about whether something really happened between that woman and Lu Yan. Although he knew that her private life was indiscrete, she could not possibly be that horny on their journey back to the capital now, could she? Not to mention, was Lu Yan even cured?
Well…about his illness…he could easily test it out by throwing a woman into his carriage tomorrow!
Laying in his bed, Jiang Yeqian could not sleep. He was too upset. First, Li Ruoxuan might have ascended to grand mastership, and secondly, Qi Qingyao got involved with Lu Yan by sneaking into his room in the middle of the night…
Since he knew that she was not the old Qi Qingyao, her private life should not be that chaotic. From the subtle distance she kept from himself, Pei Fengtang, the State Preceptor, and Lu Yan, the richest man in Northern Liang, coupled with her f*cking lack of belief in love, he knew how blockheaded the woman was.
This included Si Jin, who was a proud and beautiful teenager. However, in her eyes, she just treated him like a pretty little brother. The distance always remained.
If she wanted to, she likely would have already been able to snag the boy long ago…considering Si Jin’s wayward thoughts of wanting to be her boy toy…
However, she had always been open and honest.
That said…
He was confused about what was going on between her and Lu Yan. Why would she go looking for Lu Yan in the middle of the night? Wait a minute, could she have sought out Lu Yan to discuss the possibility of Li Ruoxuan being a grand master?
Jiang Yeqian mulled over what she might have been thinking, and this continued till dawn.
…
Inside an inn in the capital.
Gongsun She kept a low profile as he checked into the inn. Staring off somewhere in the distance, he was thinking about how to deal with the problem… Li Ruoxuan.
Supposing he had ascended into grand mastership!
With how Qi Qingyao, the Harbinger, was by his side, his luck was simply impeccable. It would be difficult to deal with this fresh grand master, unless…
He started with the Harbinger.
It was written in the ancient scrolls that the Harbinger was blessed by heaven and possessed incredible luck. There was a lot more written after that but unfortunately, that scroll had always remained incomplete.
Even if he were able to get rid of the newly ascended grand master Li Ruoxuan, what difference did it make?
As long as the Harbinger was around, another rank nine would ascend next.
In that case, he should first get rid of the Harbinger, and then Li Ruoxuan. Northern Liang would instantly have lost two important figures! To top it off, there would not be any upper rank nines ascending anytime soon…
However, if he tried to kill the Harbinger…
No.
This thought in itself was unrealistic. Si Jin would undoubtedly appear the moment he tried to murder her. If that happened, his fate would be the same as that of Pang Juan.
So, instead of killing her…
Would it not be enough as long as she lost her luck for a short period of time?
All of a sudden, Gongsun She had a splendid idea.
It was fortunate he had carefully studied the Harbinger back then…
However, planning this move would take three to five days!
