C38 (2/2)

She hoped that her consoling master could listen to her words. She could feel guilty, but she could never back down. That step had already been taken, and there was no way back.

Now that the Sixth Prince had left and His Majesty was old, the burden would naturally be borne by her master. If she were to feel apprehensive now, then what would she do when faced with an even greater crisis in the future?

Yun Duan thought that she had spent her three hundred years in the desolate mountain, she could be bloodthirsty and merciless, she could kill without blinking. However, she was afraid that others would die because of her. This kind of terrible feeling was truly torturous.

However, what Qin Ni said was right. The current situation did not allow for her to be pessimistic. Today, Emperor Chen had already declared that he would allow her to succeed the throne. Then, no matter how dangerous the road ahead was, she had to continue walking.

She picked up the pastries from the table and stuffed them into her mouth. Her stomach was empty, but the strong blood was spreading in all directions. She found it hard to breathe, but she had no choice but to keep her spirits up.

In the Plum Garden, Emperor Chen stood with his hands behind his back, leaving the official behind him.

After a long while, he slowly said, ”The masked man is here again?”

The official then nodded, ”It is always quiet and undetectable. There is nowhere to guard against it!” His cultivation was already of the highest quality, and no one knew where he came from. All these years, he had repeatedly attacked and caused a lot of casualties, so no one dared to provoke him, so he came and left without a trace.

”Still no news?” Emperor Chen looked at the beautiful and beautiful Plum Blossom, his gaze cold.

”No, there's no way to investigate it. Even if there are some clues, it would just end there if we gave chase!”

As a result, there was nothing to be found, not even the slightest bit of useful information.

”Where's Third King Ji?”

The official's eyebrows drooped as he replied respectfully, ”No problem!”

Silence. The wind blew gently and the plum blossoms swayed in the wind. A clear and cold fragrance spread far and wide, seeming to cover the bloody scene that was spreading everywhere.

It was another cloudless day. The temperature in the air was not high, but there was no wind, so it could be considered a good day.

Yun Duan glanced at Qiong Ying who had come in with a plate. She put down the scroll in her hand and softly said, ”You don't have to serve me these days. Go and take care of Mu Yi!”

Qiong Ying's eyes were red as she opened her mouth hesitantly, ”I am the master's servant girl. I should take care of the master!”

Yun Duan let out a soft sigh, ”Qiong Ying, you are very thoughtful. You should understand what I meant. It is an excellent thing that you and Mu Yi are in love with each other. I will not stop you. As long as you choose, I will support you!”

The tears in Qiong Ying's eyes flowed down as she said in a choked voice, ”Thank you, Master!”

Yun Duan waved her over and wiped the tears off her face with his fingertips. He said lovingly, ”Don't cry anymore. You always like to cry like I bullied you! ”

Qiong Ying quickly shook her head, and her tears began to roll down again. Yun Duan watched helplessly, and could only allow her to cry.

”I am happy, but I didn't expect Master to agree!”

Yun Duan curled her lips slightly. With a smile on her face and a peaceful expression, she said, ”This is a good thing. Why don't I agree to it?” Alright, go ahead. I just need to find Qin Ni! ”

”I will come back as soon as Mu Yi can get out of bed, and I thank my master for his kindness!”

Qin Ni looked at Qiong Ying who was walking away in a hurry. She smiled as she replaced the pot of water in front of Yun Duan. It was a little cold.

”A little girl is a little girl, but a person she likes is actually so considerate. When she left, she looked like she was laughing and crying. I don't even know if she's happy or sad!”

Yun Duan picked up the book again and turned the page. With a smile on her lips, she said, ”It doesn't matter if she is happy or sad. Mu Yi was chosen by herself. We can only do her blessings!”

Qin Ni smiled and nodded. Fortunately, the palace guards and maids were together, and this rule made everyone a little bit more satisfied.

”Someone you can like?” Yun Duan stared at the book and asked casually.

Qin Ni was stunned, then suddenly laughed: ”Master, what are you talking about? I'm already an old man, even if there's someone I like, it would already be in the past!”

Yun Duan blinked and took the book open to look at Qin Ni. Smiling, she asked, ”I can't tell that you're old. If you like her, then you like her. How can there be a difference between now and the past?”

”…”

Qin Ni's gaze looked out from the open door of the hall. A new plant had grown in the yard, and the overflowing life of the plant was very lively even in this late winter.

Her black eyes flickered as if she had thought of something. After a long while, she turned her gaze towards Yun Duan, who was quietly reading a book.

”Master, Qin Ni can be considered to have been blessed to have met you in her previous life, and she doesn't have any other extravagant hopes in this life. She only hopes to be with Master for a long time!”

Yun Duan was slightly stunned and slightly surprised. Qin Ni's age allowed her to leave the palace, and she could even find a person she liked to marry. Two people with a plain, light, happy, and happy life; how great that was something she couldn't ask for.

It was just that she did not expect Ye Ci to have this kind of thought, which was quite unexpected.

However, he still wanted to persuade her again.
