Chapter 864: Chapter 862: The Quirks of Qin Ge

Qin Ge’s tone was very certain, and whether it was her gaze or a woman’s intuition, both were accurate.

“Yes, this son loves her deeply,” Qin Muyan confessed without intending to hide it.

Qin Ge took a sharp breath, “If Su Yingxue truly were your cousin, and were as yet unmarried, your fondness for her would be understandable, and Mother would never stand in your way. But what you saw today! She is not your cousin, and may even be suspected of impersonation! All this aside, most importantly, she’s already married, to the Ninth Princess Consort! Do you not know what kind of man Chu Yihan is? Do you intend to compete with him for a woman?”

Qin Muyan clenched his right fist, his eyes stubborn and resolute, “This son does not wish to compete with him. If Yingxue is willing, this son is prepared to go through fire and water to marry her. But now that Chu Yihan treats her well, this son can only wait.”

Wait until one day she needs him, then he will reappear by her side.

“What? You intend to wait for her?” Qin Ge felt her blood boiling, “Wait for her to be discarded by Chu Yihan? Or wait for her to come seduce you again once she no longer upholds her marital fidelity? Muyan, do you realize what you’re saying? You are the emperor’s own brother, the Scarlet Flame King of the Great Wei Dynasty, a prince exalted above ten thousand people! How can you be so ruled by your emotions!”

“Mother, this son likes her and wishes to protect her. As for cousin Zhao Hua, you and the others may decide on the marriage arrangement. This son will marry her as the Princess and will surely provide for her all her life, but this son does not have feelings for her. Please inform Imperial Grandmother and cousin on behalf of this son,” he said.

Qin Muyan’s expression was cold and stern, passion burning within his chest.

As a man standing tall and upright, he was unable to marry the woman he loved, but his heart, it must belong to her.

Zhao Hua would have to marry him, and he could take responsibility, keeping her in the prince’s mansion all her life, but he would never love her.

“You…”

Qin Ge was so angry she could smoke from seven orifices.

But she knew her anger could not sway Qin Muyan in the slightest.

The passionate blood of the Great Wei Dynasty’s men ran through his veins, and not even his Imperial Brother could change that!

Qin Ge had no choice but to first visit Shen Yu.

Along the way, she was reminded again of the voice of that man in her mind.

In the palace.

Su Yingxue rested her elbows on the railing, gazing at the beautiful mountains and waters of the courtyard, her face full of confusion, “Why would it be like this? The Eldest Princess and Shen Yu should have no dealings of interest, and Shen Yu couldn’t possibly drive her to do this, but why did things turn out like this?”

Behind her, Chu Yihan poured a cup of tea, with a curling fragrance rising, the entire room filled with a faint tea aroma, refreshing and pleasing. As she breathed in, it penetrated her body, like a cool breeze in the forest.

Chu Yihan brought the tea to Su Yingxue and even personally fed it to her mouth, “The possibility of being manipulated by someone cannot be ruled out; that Mu Fei is problematic.”

“Being manipulated…”

Su Yingxue thought of how she inexplicably left the Ninth Prince’s Mansion, was she not controlled by Wu Dao too?

Wu Dao’s drug!

And this person, Mu Fei, indeed radiated strangeness in every aspect.

Su Yingxue remembered their meeting at the ghost market. Had he detected her identity then?

She shared this suspicion with Chu Yihan.

Chu Yihan spoke indifferently, “He is from the Great Wei Dynasty, and may have some connections to your mother. Otherwise, that piece of blue-scale jade would not have been easy to take, moreover, he is a man of the ghost market. If he wanted Wu Dao’s drug, it wouldn’t be unattainable.”

Clasping Chu Yihan’s hand, Su Yingxue took another sip of tea and said, “Then we should capture Mu Fei for interrogation.”

Chu Yihan pinched the soft flesh on her cheek with his right hand and said, “Not urgent, let’s wait for the Shadow Guards to report.”
