Chapter 390



On the high city wall of the border, Pei Yuanjun stood on it in purple. The wind blew over his black cloak, rustling continually.

His noble and handsome face was cold, and his eyes were as dark as ink. There was a hint of cruelty in his eyes. He seemed to be brewing a storm.

But his cruelty was extremely harmonious with this dark wall!

Here at the border, every soldier guarding here had a fierce expression on their face, making them look completely different from the guards in the capital.

Pei Yuanjun withdrew his gaze and asked indifferently, “He hasn’t come yet?”

“Your Highness, he hasn’t come yet!” Ji Hai, who was standing behind him, said in surprise. In his opinion, this was inevitable. He did not expect Pei Yuanjun to come here unscathed along the way, which was surprising.

“It seems that the North is really in a mess!” Pei Yuanjun said indifferently. He turned around and walked down the city wall. “Go call the Guardian General over. I want to ask him something.”

At least half of the military power of Great Zhou at the border was in the hands of Pei Yuanjun. However, he delegated some of the authority to his younger brother. The other half of the military power was supposed to be in the hands of the Guardian General, Liu Xiangshan, and the Suppressor General, Ji Yongming. However, after Ji Yongming was called back, a small part of his military power fell into the hands of the Guardian General, which greatly increased the latter’s military power.

Of course, this was only military power at the border. Although the total military power in the capital was not big, it was distributed separately from the border military power. Pei Yuanjun was not always in the capital, but he had the biggest military power.

As for the part of military power that he didn’t possess, it was owned by the other generals.

Before leaving the capital this time, Pei Yuanjun had already told the Emperor that he wanted to return the military power in the capital. He wanted to give it to Lord Yan, Pei Yanxun, to let him gain experience. Moreover, Pei Yuanjun had heard that Pei Yanxun liked to practice martial arts and had a straightforward personality. Since he had volunteered to do so, the Guardian General should return the military power in his hands as well.

However, things went on almost as Pei Yuanjun had expected. Since the Guardian General had taken the power, it would not be easy to let him give it back.

“Yes, Your Highness. I will send someone to pass the message later.” Ji Hai said with a smile. He turned to leave but immediately stopped. His eyes fell on the two people under the city wall.

It was two women. The one in the front was a lady, and the one behind her was a maid. The lady in the front had her hair tied up. She was tall and slender. Her eyes were covered by gauze, revealing half of her beautiful and heroic face. It could be seen that she was beautiful, and she should be a rare beauty.

Just like Qu Moying, Lady Liu also had poor eyesight. However, Lady Liu’s eye veil was short and thin, which added a special charm to her, and it made others pay more attention to her appearance than to her eyes.

It made people want to remove her eye veil to see her beautiful face.

Most of her face was exposed. It was more attractive than showing the entire face. It was quite tempting.

Compared with Lady Liu, Qu Moying was quite simple-minded. The eye veil Qu Moying wore was wide and long, covering almost half of her face. Her hairstyle was also simple. She just used hair ribbons to tie her hair up. The ribbons fell down, which made her look like a fairy.

Ji Hai couldn’t help comparing the two young ladies with eye disease in his heart. Then, he collected his thoughts and followed Pei Yuanjun.

How could Lady Liu compare with Qu Moying? If Lord Yun had been interested in Lady Liu, he would have taken action long ago. He wouldn’t have forcefully taken the false Lady Liu away when she said she was uncomfortable and wanted to rest in the carriage. He clearly knew that the one in the carriage was not Lady Liu but a maid.

In Ji Hai’s opinion, Lady Liu just was playing hard to get. However, Pei Yuanjun was so insensible that he did not seem to know what Lady Liu meant. Or maybe, Pei Yuanjun did not care about women at all. Of course, Ji Hai was not certain about this. At least Pei Yuanjun had Qu Moying in his eyes now.

“Greetings, Your Highness!” Liu Lanxin took a step forward and bowed gracefully. She looked quite decent.

The guards at the gate were not surprised to see her. They looked at her with a bit of respect. It was said that Lady Liu’s eyes were injured for saving Lord Yun.

Pei Yuanjun walked down with his hands behind his back and said indifferently, “Lady Liu, please save the formalities!”

Liu Lanxin looked up at Pei Yuanjun and said softly, “Your Highness, can I have a word with you?”

“I have invited the Guardian General over. I will talk to him later.” Pei Yuanjun raised his delicate eyebrows, and there was a hint of laziness in his eyes.

“Your Highness, I just want to have a word with you. Can I borrow you for a moment?” Liu Lanxin said sincerely. Although her eyes could not be seen, her drooping lips showed her sadness and grievance.

How could a man resist such a charming woman looking at him like this?

Ji Hai stole a glance at Lady Liu, feeling that she was pretentious. If Lord Yun had feelings for her, he would not have waited until now.

“Come with your father later!” Pei Yuanjun cast a cold glance at Liu Lanxin. His eyes were so cold that Liu Lanxin almost couldn’t maintain her gentle and sad expression.

She felt as if she had been seen through by his sharp eyes.

“Your Highness…”

“Lady Liu, I already have a Princess Consort. Please stay away from me. I don’t care whether your reputation will be tainted or not if someone misunderstands the relationship between you and me, but I don’t want my reputation to be tainted because of this!” Hearing Pei Yuanjun’s words, Liu Lanxin turned pale. Her lips trembled, and she could not say a word.

When Ji Hai walked past Lady Liu, he gave her a sympathetic look.

Ji Hai thought Lady Liu really outsmarted herself. If Lord Yun was interested in her, how could he treat her like this? He imprisoned the maid she sent out and let Qu Moying disguise herself as Lady Liu. Although Lord Yun did have other intentions before, Ji Hai thought things had long turned differently.

Liu Lanxin asked in disbelief from behind, “Your Highness… you… you… are married?”

“Soon!” Pei Yuanjun said lazily, leaving with Ji Hai and the guards without looking back.

Liu Lanxin almost tore apart the handkerchief in her hand. She couldn’t believe what she had heard. She didn’t think anyone else other than her deserved Lord Yun. Why would there be another woman who dared to marry him?

“Lady!” The maid behind Liu Lanxin called out. She looked at Lord Yun’s back with fear. Just seeing his back made her shiver. That day, Lady Liu asked the maid to hide in the carriage and disguise herself as her. The maid was told that if she was found not to be Lady Liu on the road, she should say that Lady Liu didn’t feel well but was afraid that she would slow down Lord Yun’s trip back to the capital, and that was why she was told to pretend to be Lady Liu and sit in the carriage.

Lady Liu wanted Lord Yun to find out the truth on the first day. Lady Liu thought Lord Yun would definitely turn back and pick her up and go to the capital together. It would, at most, waste him one day. It would not affect Lord Yun’s matter, but it could make Lord Yun know how she felt for him.

However, when Lord Yun found out what was going on, he imprisoned the maid in the carriage without saying a word. After entering the capital, he imprisoned the maid in a yard. The maid could not hear or see anything in the capital.

In the end, it was Lord Yun who sent the maid back.

All of Lady Liu’s preparations were in vain!

The maid wanted to help Lady Liu before, but now she was truly afraid!

“Let’s go to see my father!” Liu Lanxin gritted her teeth and said. Her father had the greatest military power besides Lord Yun. In the past, Ji Hanyue was also a lady who had a strong military background, but she passed away. In terms of military background, Liu Lanxin had a higher status than the ladies in the capital.

It could be seen from Lord Jing’s frequent letters to her father and gifts to her. Lord Yun said that she was not there and only her maid was there, so he let a woman disguise herself as Lady Lou and it could make people believe she was in the capital.

In just a few days, Lord Jing had fallen in love with a fake Lady Liu. Liu Lanxin thought if she really went to the capital, Lord Jing could have been fascinated by her!

However, the person she wanted to marry the most was not Lord Jing but Lord Yun in front of her!

As for Lord Jing, she would not care about him for now.

When Qu Moying came out from Yue’s Clothing Pavilion, Yu Dong was already waiting outside by the carriage.

Qu Moying held Yu Chun’s hand and went up to the carriage. She sniffed and looked around but didn’t find anything unusual.

The things in the carriage were as usual.

The maids also got on the carriage. They didn’t say anything all the way. They went back to Qu Mansion. After getting off the carriage, Qu Moying let Yu Chun take the two junior maids back first. She went to greet the Old Lady with Yu Dong.

It was not early, so the Old Lady didn’t keep her. She let Qu Moying go back to her yard, so Qu Moying returned to Qianyue House. After Qu Moying washed up, Granny Yan came over with worry.

“Lady, did any lady challenge you in Grand Princess Changyu’s mansion today?” Granny Yan was really worried. Although she had confidence in Qu Moying, she was afraid that there was something unexpected.

“A lady competed with me on the qin playing. There was nothing else. Oh, County Lady Jingyu wanted to harm me, but she fell into the water.” Qu Moying didn’t intend to hide it from Granny Yan, so she told her what happened in the waterside pavilion in Grand Princess Changyu’s mansion. After hearing what had happened, Granny Yan was angry.

“Lady, I don’t know what’s wrong with County Lady Jingyu. Please beware of her next time.”

“Granny Yan, do you know why she wanted to deal with me?” Qu Moying asked calmly. Liu Jingyu’s schemes were implemented secretly before, but this time, she implemented her scheme on an open occasion. Qu Moying wanted to know something from Granny Yan. Granny Yan was experienced and might give her some new tips.

Qu Moying couldn’t figure out her relationship with Liu Jingyu for such a long time, so she had been observing. She was observing Qi Xiangyu’s reaction when she let Qi Xiangyu see her qin.

Today, Qi Xiangyu’s reaction was very strange. She must know this “Feng Yu” qin.

Granny Yan did not directly answer but asked, “Lady, when do you think she wanted to deal with you?”

Qu Moying pretended to think for a moment and then said with certainty, “Since I first met her, she has been hostile to me! Granny Yan, what do you think is the reason for this high and mighty County Lady Jingyu to deal with me like this?”

Taking advantage of this opportunity, she wanted Granny Yan to help her analyze the matter in detail. Although she had guessed something, it was only a guess. Maybe Granny Yan could help her uncover the truth of the matter…
