Chapter 25 Qi Youan's goal was achieved...

In Qi Youan's eyes, Ye Wanwan has always been high and mighty. She is always so arrogant, like a cold ice flower that can only be admired from a distance but not touched.

But now she is willing to show such a brilliant smile for the prince and is willing to flatter him. Qi Youan seemed to have eaten several bitter sour tamarinds. He was obviously not sick, but he felt a breathless feeling.

This feeling became even worse after he learned about Ye Wanwan's engagement with Rong Zhenyan. He took off his coat and stroked the red brand embedded in his skin in front of the bronze mirror.

This brand seemed to implicate him and Ye Wanwan together. Every time he saw this brand, he could think of the girl's smiling face.

Before, Qi Youan gently stroked the brand as if he was pitying his lover, but now he thought that Ye Wanwan was about to marry someone else, and the impulse in his heart made him want to remove this glaring mark.

Qi Youan pressed his fingertips hard on the wrinkled and black-red brand, and bright red blood gradually overflowed from his fingertips and slowly flowed to his abdominal muscles.

The pain in his chest made Qi Youan sober up, and he didn't understand why he did this. Finally, he realized that Ye Wanwan occupied an important and unique position in his heart.

It was so important that Qi Youan felt that his heart was so depressed that it was difficult to breathe whenever he thought that Ye Wanwan was about to marry someone else and spend his life with another man.

At this moment, Song Qing, the eldest son of the Grand Secretary's Mansion, had the same feeling as him.

He didn't understand why his sister was unwilling to marry Jiang Lingzhou before, but now she was flirting with him and was in love with him.

Jealousy mixed with resentment filled Song Qing's heart. He didn't know why he felt so bad when he learned that his sister was getting married. He attributed all this to the fact that his sister was still young and it was not suitable for her to get married too early. The inner depression was just his desire to protect her as a brother.

"Do you really want to marry him?" Looking at Song Ci's innocent face, Song Qing asked.

"Yes, brother, I am willing to marry him." Song Qing knew that her brother would be worried about her, and she smiled brightly.

"If you have any difficulties, tell me directly, and I will do my best to protect you." Song Qing always believed that the person in front of him had difficulties and had no choice. He looked embarrassed, frowned, and said anxiously.

Song Ci knew that her brother was worried about her, so she walked to her brother, grabbed his sleeve and comforted him with ease: "Oh, brother, don't worry, I didn't want to do it before, but then I thought about it carefully and found that Jiang Lingzhou is a good person, and it is a good destination for me to marry him."

"The Jiang family and our family are old friends, and the eldest son of the Jiang family is indeed a decent person. But marriage is such a major event in life that not only depends on family background and character, but also requires mutual affection. Are you happy with him?"

Song Qing held her sister's hand in reverse, trying to see a little hesitation between her eyebrows.

Song Ci paused for a moment after hearing this. She had never thought about this question. She grew up with Jiang Lingzhou since she was a child, like a brother, and she had never been involved in love between men and women.

But in order to reassure her brother, she smiled and said firmly: "Yes, I like him."

These few short words pierced Song Qing's heart like a long needle. He was completely deflated. His sister would eventually get married, and he could not stay by her side forever.

"Brother is also at the age of marriage. When will you bring a sister-in-law back?" Song Ci tilted his head and asked mischievously, trying to ease the gloomy atmosphere.

Unexpectedly, Song Qing looked at her with a complex, unprecedented look, which was bottomless and seemed to have thousands of unspeakable emotions. Then he turned his head and said slowly: "Brother has no plans to get married."

His sleeves slipped in Song Ci's hands. Song Ci looked at his brother's slightly tired figure walking away and thought: Aren't brothers usually excited when they know their sisters are getting married? Why is my brother so sad?

Song Qing himself did not know the answer to this question. He did not like drinking, but recently he allowed himself to stay drunk in Tianxiang Tower every day and did not want to go back home.

Seeing him so decadent, his friend thought that he had a beloved girl who was ignored by him, and laughed and teased: "I didn't expect our eldest son Song to be in this day. Which girl did you fall in love with?"

"My sister."

"What? You you you... who are you talking about?" The person next to him could not believe what he heard.

Song Qing exhaled alcohol, his face flushed, and he slowly replied: "My sister... is getting married."

The friend breathed a sigh of relief and said: "I thought it was something else. This matter has been spread in Li'an City for a long time. I should congratulate you."

Song Qing held the bottle of wine and took another sip of strong liquor. After hearing what the person next to him said, he looked up and glared at him.

A friend looked at his distraught look and said puzzledly: "The Duwei family is powerful and your family is a perfect match. Your sister and the young master of the Jiang family seem to be a perfect match. Why do you look so distraught? People who don't know would think that your beloved girl was married to someone else."

The friend's casual words stimulated Song Qing's brain like an electric current.

He was depressed because he didn't know where the bitter and angry emotions in his heart came from. He couldn't relieve it and could only escape with alcohol.

Now a word from someone next to him made him suddenly realize, but after waking up, he felt even more painful. He didn't believe and didn't want to believe that he had a special feeling for his sister.

At this moment, he felt like a monster and should hide in the mountains and forests and never be discovered.

Song Qing stumbled back to the mansion. Song Ci, who had been waiting for a long time, saw his brother and hurriedly went up to support him.

The strong smell of alcohol enveloped her. Seeing her brother's exhausted and decadent face, Song Ci asked with concern: "Where have you been these days, brother? Why do you smell of alcohol?" Song

Qing looked at her with a dazed look, forced a gentle smile, and gently touched Song Ci's head as usual, then turned around and went back to her room without saying a word.

...

"What is your real name?" Xuan Mo stared at Qi Youan and asked.

"I am just a humble body. Fortunately, Miss Ye gave me a name. I have long forgotten my real name. I suddenly remembered that the third prince asked me to go to the study after noon, so I will take my leave first." After saying that, Qi Youan bowed and retreated three steps before he finished speaking.

But before he took a few steps, he was blocked by the maid next to the princess.

"Did I let you go?" Xuan Mo said coldly. She slowly stood up and walked in front of him, put her slender jade fingers on the boy's shoulders, and then stroked his cheek along his neck.

Qi Youan turned his head and tried to escape Xuan Mo's harassment, but Xuan Mo suddenly pinched his chin and forced the boy to look down at her.

The boy was forced to bow his head, but his knuckles were clenched white in his sleeves.

Looking at Qi Youan's obedient appearance, Xuan Mo was in a good mood and said with a smile: "Compared to being a small guard in this mansion, it would be better to follow me and massage my legs every day, isn't it?"

Xuan Mo stood on tiptoe and put her red lips close to his ear, but saw the boy retreat suddenly, leaving her empty-handed.

"Thank you for your appreciation, princess, but I am just an ordinary man and I really dare not pollute the princess's eyes. Please forgive me." Without waiting for Xuan Mo to get angry, Qi Youan knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

"If I must..."

Without waiting for Xuan Mo to finish, Rong Zhenyan returned to the mansion, followed by Ye Wanwan. As soon as Rong Zhenyan entered the mansion, he saw his capable guard kneeling in front of his sister and teased, "What kind of play is this?"

Seeing him, Xuan Mo coquettishly took his arm and said, "Good brother, I just want this guard by your side, but you won't give it to me?"

"Other guards are fine, but he..." Rong Zhenyan had a worried look on his face. He could use this man a lot.

Seeing this, Xuan Mo wanted to wink at Ye Wanwan and ask her to say a few good words for her, but she just kept lowering her head.

In this case, Xuan Mo had no choice but to speak up: "Miss Ye, since you have heard it, what do you think about this matter?"

After this, Ye Wanwan couldn't pretend to be deaf and dumb anymore. At this moment, she had eight hundred ideas in her mind, but none of them worked. If she didn't help Xuan Mo, she might not do anything weird with her status as a princess. If she helped her, it might hinder the progress of the tribulation.

The girl looked calm, but her hands on her sleeves had been rubbing and sweating.

At the same time, Qi Youan also looked up and stared at her. He wanted to see what the lady would say.

"For the princess, asking for a guard is just a trivial matter. But His Royal Highness the Prince must have his own reasons for not wanting to give the guard to the princess. Why not ask the prince about his own reasons, and the matter may be solved."

She seemed to be speaking for Xuan Mo, but in fact, she was just talking nonsense, which was perfect and thoughtful. After she finished speaking, Ye Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief. When she looked up, she met the sharp eyes of the young man. She quickly turned her head and pretended not to see it, but her heart was beating like a drum.

This remark was very effective, and Rong Zhenyan said, "In this case, if my sister still wants him after a month, take him away."

This was just his excuse that his sister was too noisy, so he let her live in peace for a month.

"Brother, don't regret it." Sure enough, after this remark, Xuan Mo, who was stubborn, laughed immediately, thinking that the matter was settled, and left happily.

After seeing Xuan Mo leave, Ye Wanwan was completely relieved.

"Thank you Miss Ye." Qi Youan stood up and bowed to her to express his gratitude. When he raised his eyes, his eyes revealed an indescribable aggression.

Ye Wanwan felt cold and quickly asked Rong Zhenyan to leave.

But as soon as she got on the carriage, she heard Qi Youan calling her outside the carriage. When the girl lifted the curtain, she saw him standing outside the carriage and handed over the sachet with both hands, saying, "This is the sachet that Miss accidentally dropped just now."

"So that's it." She thought it was something else.

After Ye Wanwan stretched out her fingers to take the sachet, she saw that Qi Youan was reluctant to leave, so she knew that he must have something else to say to her.

"What else?" she asked.

"Thank you Miss for speaking for me in the mansion just now. I don't have to stay in the prince's mansion. But if it is Miss who wants me today, I will pack my bags and go back with Miss immediately." Qi Youan looked up with a smile in his eyes.

Ye Wanwan was speechless for a moment, then said: "Being by the prince's side is something that many people cannot ask for, just serve him with peace of mind." Then he asked the coachman to drive away.

But being by your side is what I want day and night. Qi Youan looked at the carriage going away and thought to himself.

...

Facing the big devil Xuan Mo, not only Ye Wanwan had a headache, Ji Yu was also very difficult, so he went back to the fairyland to get a big rescuer.

"Ji Yu, you still have the nerve to come back!" When Ye Wanwan looked at her old friend's face again, the raging anger in her heart could not be suppressed. She gritted her teeth and said, "Do you know how long I have been waiting for you? Half a year! Half a year!"

Ji Yu explained with a guilty look on her face, "I'm very fast. One day in heaven is one year on earth. Don't forget, I have brought reinforcements down."

Ye Wanwan looked around when she heard the voice. There was only Ji Yu within a radius of five miles. She asked coldly, "Did you keep the reinforcements in your mouth?" "

Of course not. I cast a spell to make you invisible. Follow me and you'll know."

Xuan Mo was still immersed in the joy of finding the immortal god Li He, but she didn't know that a disaster was about to happen.

Before she left the room, a cloud of white mist appeared, and then her father, the Dragon King of the Sea, appeared in front of her with an anxious look, and said in a tough attitude: "Rebellious girl! Come back to the fairyland with me quickly, and stop making trouble!"

Xuan Mo lost all her strength in astonishment when she saw her father, and her legs collapsed to the ground. Then she burst into tears and pulled the hem of the Dragon King and begged: "Father, I want to protect the immortal god Lihe."

"If you don't go back with me now, I will never let you see him again!" Faced with the Dragon King's unquestionable attitude, Xuan Mo finally lost, and the immortal soul gradually separated from the princess.

In a hidden corner, Ye Wanwan and the other person watched the show with their arms folded.

It was indeed a great rescuer.

The girl praised happily: "Ji Yu, your trick is really wonderful." The two smiled at each other, and a big stone in Ye Wanwan's heart could finally fall.

...

In the magnificent court, the emperor on the dragon throne was solemn and had a superior temperament. He seriously examined the ministers in the court.

"Your Majesty, I have come from Qi State for an important matter. Please agree with your Majesty." The envoy of Qi State said respectfully.

"Please speak, envoy." The Emperor Rong looked solemn.

"This time, I came not only to promote friendly cooperation between the two countries, but also to take back the twelfth prince of our country."

The twelfth prince of Qi State was the hostage sent a few years ago, Qi Youan.

The envoy also received a secret order from Qi State not long ago to take back the prince. It was his duty as a minister to obey the emperor's order.

When the Emperor Rong heard this, his face sank. The hostage had disappeared on the way to be sent in the past, and his life or death was unknown. But now that Qi State is becoming more and more prosperous and powerful, they have no reason to refuse to take back their own prince.

"Of course I agree. When the envoy returns to the country, the hostage can be taken back to the country. This matter will be handled by the third prince."

"Your son accepts the order." Although Rong Zhenyan seemed calm on the surface, this matter was a hot potato.

Let's not talk about whether the twelfth prince is dead or alive. Even if he still has a life, searching for him in the huge Rong Kingdom is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Moreover, the emperor's implication is to find a loyal and capable person to replace the twelfth prince as a spy in Qi Kingdom. This person needs to be of suitable age, and his temperament and appearance need to be similar to those of the royal family of Qi Kingdom.

Such a person is really hard to find. Fortunately, he has a plan to deal with it. Rong Zhenyan glanced at the guards beside him.

He knew nothing about Ergou, but he knew that he was extraordinary, had a good temperament, and was quite beautiful. If he was the most suitable candidate at the moment.

"Ergou, what is your real name?" Rong Zhenyan asked.

Qi Youan replied respectfully: "I have no father or mother, and I have been living in the black market. I am not even as good as pigs and dogs. How can I have a real name."

"Then do you envy the life of the princes and nobles?"

"Of course I envy it." Qi Youan did not understand the intention of the person in front of him at this moment.

"What if I give you a chance to experience the life of a prince?"

Qi Youan suddenly raised his eyes, listening to these words in disbelief, and said in a panic: "Prince, please don't tease me."

"I don't have time to joke with you. I want you to disguise yourself as the twelfth prince of Qi State and be my spy. Are you willing?" Rong Zhenyan could never have imagined that the person in front of him was the prince himself. Upon

hearing the voice, Qi Youan knelt on the ground and replied in panic: "My servant... I am afraid I can't take on this important task."

In fact, he was very excited in his heart. He had been sleeping on straw and eating bitter food for many years, and now this opportunity came to him without any warning.

"It doesn't matter. I will ask someone to train you well in the next few days. With your intelligence and talent, you will learn it quickly."

At this point, Rong Zhenyan suddenly changed his expression. His face was gloomy and full of coldness, and his tone was extremely threatening: "Do you want this opportunity or not?"

If Qi Youan continued to shirk his responsibility at this moment, he would probably lose his head. He trembled and said: "Slave... follow the prince's orders."

Qi Youan lowered his head, but his eyes contained a deep and invisible conspiracy.

Although Xuan Mo had left, Ye Wanwan still went to the Third Prince's Mansion from time to time. She just wanted to see how Qi Youan was doing and not let anything go wrong because of the changes in the plot of the tribulation.

She came early today, and Rong Zhenyan was still in court, so she strolled around the mansion casually.

Suddenly turning an inadvertent corner, it was early summer at this moment, and the lush trees in the Third Prince's courtyard were full of vitality.

Ye Wanwan saw a man in goose yellow brocade behind the bushes, and took her in to see.

That man was Qi Youan!
