Chapter 194 Night Talk
When Chu Qianyu arrived at the study, she stood in the yard and looked in through the window. She could vaguely see Mo Yinan's figure, who was sitting on the couch by the window drinking tea.
She sighed softly, walked to the door and pushed it open with both hands. Mo Yinan heard the voice and glanced towards the door, hiding the ripples in his eyes. Hearing her coming over, he actually felt a little happy in his heart.
Then, the usual indifferent and distant voice said coldly, "Here I come."
Chu Qianyu suddenly felt a slight itch on the mark on her arm. She quickly pulled up her sleeves and took a look while he wasn't paying attention. She found that a corner of the petal had disappeared???
Can it disappear like this? She had always thought that they disappeared in one piece. Could it be that Mo Yinan was slightly attracted to her?
Thinking of this, she finally felt that her suffering had paid off. This cold person finally warmed up a little.
He seemed to have forgotten that his previous self was even colder than the person in front of him.
"Yeah." Chu Qianyu walked forward and sat down without greeting Mo Yinan.
He frowned slightly, then quickly relaxed his brows. If she really was very humble in front of him, like those ordinary women, he probably wouldn't even look at her.
"Your Highness, would you mind having a drink or a meal with me later?" Chu Qianyu asked.
"Hmm?" Mo Yinan was a little slow to react.
Chu Qianyu repeated patiently, "When I came here just now, I asked the servants to prepare some snacks. Your Majesty, you can't just sit there and let me take care of Yue'er's affairs with you, right?"
Mo Yinan finally understood. The sudden change of topic caught him off guard.
"Well, since you've given the order, let's do as you say."
Chu Qianyu nodded and was about to ask him where he wanted to start.
Then Mo Yinan said, "Today the emperor ordered Shi Lang to be executed, and the princess was sent to Puhua Temple to practice. She cannot return to the capital without his permission in the future."
Chu Qianyu sighed and said with some regret: "Ah, she was just sent to a temple to practice. With her financial resources and hidden power, I think she can live a life similar to that in the princess's mansion."
"Yes, that's right. But she is the eldest princess after all. Even if the emperor is ours now, he won't do anything too much. Besides, the emperor had a very good relationship with the eldest princess before. If he behaves too obviously at this time, it will arouse suspicion." Mo Yinan said.
Chu Qianyu shook her head and said, "Let's leave it like this for now. As long as she doesn't cause us trouble again in the future, we can live in peace. Otherwise, I don't mind killing her."
"How many people have you killed?" Mo Yinan saw that her expression did not change at all when she talked about killing people, as if she was just talking about a trivial matter. He immediately became curious.
Chu Qianyu was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then thought for a while and said, "I can't count them all."
Mo Yinan was shocked at first, but then his face quickly calmed down and he smiled, "You are honest. But I guessed it. Since you can set up a killer organization, you are naturally not a good person. Do you remember how it felt when you killed someone for the first time?"
"The first time I killed someone? Let me think about it." Chu Qianyu raised her head and looked out the window, her thoughts drifting back to when she was very young.
As he was thinking, he blurted out, "Once during a training session, I was framed by my companions. I was nearly killed by a tiger. But I managed to run fast. When I encountered..."
At this point, Chu Qianyu remembered that she was talking about the first time Situ Yue killed someone.
The original owner of this body was a young lady, so how could she have killed anyone?
"What happened?" Mo Yinan's eyes were filled with urgency, and his hands unconsciously clenched. He felt very familiar with what he heard just now. Wasn't this the scene when he first met Yue'er?
Could it be a coincidence?
Chu Qianyu reacted now, her mind spinning rapidly but her expression didn't reveal a single detail.
"I met someone who wanted to kill me. He pretended to save me and told me that the west was safe. I followed him without thinking much. But what was waiting for me was a bigger trap. A group of bandits were waiting for me there. Fortunately, I met Yue'er at that time and escaped."
"Meet Yue'er? That's not right. I remember you said before that you started practicing martial arts after meeting Yue'er."
Chu Qianyu's face froze, and then she smiled awkwardly: "You have a good memory. You actually still remember what I once said casually."
"So what happened to you?"
"Your Majesty, could you please stop looking at me like that? It's like you're interrogating me. It makes me feel a little uncomfortable."
"Okay." Mo Yinan nodded and turned away from looking at her.
"It is true that I started practicing martial arts after I met Yue'er. Yue'er's master gave me a training. But I never expected that the people of the Situ Clan thought that an outsider like me was not worthy of practicing martial arts with them. That's why they framed me."
"When I told Yue'er about this, she said that if I hadn't met her, I would have lost my life. So if I find out who harmed me, I must not show mercy. Being soft on the enemy is harming yourself."
"I hadn't thought of killing anyone at that time. She led me to kill the enemy, although I didn't completely kill him. But I was the one who stabbed him in the face. I had nightmares for more than half a month. Only with Yue'er's help did I slowly come out of it."
Chu Qianyu said all this in one breath and looked at Mo Yinan cautiously, only to see that he still had the same expression as before, without any change.
I secretly breathed a sigh of relief, 'It really is true that telling one lie requires many lies to cover it up. It's really tiring.'
"Then why was Yue'er willing to bring you into the Situ family to learn martial arts? How did you two meet?"
Before one problem is solved, another one arises. Chu Qianyu feels extremely regretful at this moment. If she had known earlier, she would not have agreed to tell her about Situ Yue's past.
Chu Qianyu looked at him, thinking that she couldn't let him take the initiative anymore, she had to guide him. Otherwise, the more he said, the more mistakes he made, and it would be even harder to smooth things over later.
Thinking of this, she said, "Your Majesty, didn't you come here today to know about Yue'er's affairs? Why are you so interested in my past? Could it be that Your Majesty..."
Mo Yinan was startled. He didn't expect Chu Qianyu to think of this. He waved his hand and said, "Don't think too much. I just asked casually. If you don't want to say it, I won't force you."
"I am willing. Since Your Majesty wants to know more about me, how can I not be willing? What else does Your Majesty want to hear from me?" Chu Qianyu rested her elbows on the table, held her cheeks with both hands, and looked at him with an obsessed expression.
Mo Yinan turned his head to take a look, then quickly turned his head back. He coughed a few times to ease the embarrassment.
"That's all. Tell me about Yue'er later."
Chu Qianyu pursed her lips, feeling a little aggrieved, and asked again unwillingly: "But I still want to tell you about my past experiences. I want you to know more about me."
Mo Yinan picked up the cup and took a sip of tea, and didn't speak for a long time.
Chu Qianyu saw that his expression suddenly changed, as if he had calmed down. Her heart was pounding. Oh no, he wouldn't react.
As expected, Mo Yinan said slowly, "Well, in this case, I won't refuse your kindness. Then, please tell me the question I asked you just now. How did you meet Yue'er? And why did she take you to Situ's to learn martial arts?"
