For some reason, Fengsu particularly dislikes the title of Second Prince of Dayuan, seeming to harbor a hatred for the royal family.

Even though the two are close friends, Yixuan understands that no matter how deep the bond, it’s essential to leave some space for each other. Some questions should not be asked, as it might sour the friendship or even cause a rift.

"I was initially investigating the matter of Liang Yuru."

When mentioning Mother Liang, he doesn’t call her ’mother’ but instead uses her full name.

"My collaboration with Fengsu began with this matter. Clues were found; someone witnessed a group of Jin people taking Liang Yuru away."

But at the time, Yixuan’s investigation into Liang Yuru was mostly spurred by unresolved feelings and was done casually.

A child’s yearning for maternal love is natural, yet the simplest of emotions was never fulfilled.

However, he couldn’t help but care at least a little deep inside.

He cared whether that person was alive or dead, or perhaps it was like solving a puzzle, wanting to know the person’s background.

"The turning point was when last year, during the Resurgence of my wife on the mountain, we met Miao Qing."

Later, Big Brother lost control of his emotions, revealing that Premonition Dream, disclosing the tragic scene in the dream about their brothers.

From that moment, Yixuan prioritized this matter.

"In the past year, because of Shi Yi and Yun Ge, Fengsu hasn’t returned to Dajin, and the actions I took in Dajin earlier were equivalent to planting a seed."

"Since learning of the potential threat posed by Liang Yuru, I’ve begun investigating the Yuwen’s house in Dajin."

"Today’s Regent King of Dajin... could be considered our uncle, the Yuwen family is the power behind the throne, with the Emperor being a puppet; they are the ones truly in control."

"And the Silver Moon Crescent my wife mentioned belongs to the Moon Palace, this Moon Palace..."

was orchestrated by Yixuan.

Over the past year, he had engaged in numerous collaborations with Prince Yuwen.

At this point, Yixuan chuckled.

"Xiao Qinghe, this person, it’s hard to determine his nature whether good or bad. As for ’negotiating with a tiger,’ I’m aware, but ultimately, I must prepare first."

"Otherwise, if one day, the Jin People’s Iron Cavalry sweeps over Dayuan’s mountains and rivers, as Miao Qing said, our brothers will be the first targets, viewed by Liang Yuru as a lifelong disgrace, she would certainly act against us."

"But she probably never imagined that the so-called Dayuan’s bastard from her past would become a strategic ally of the Yuwen family, making it a case of ’a blind spot under the lamp’."

Upon hearing this, Third Brother Shujun couldn’t help but feel speechless.

"I... I thought I was already quite capable of stirring things up."

But compared to Sixth Brother, he felt inadequate.

This kid, geez! 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Shujun grimaced and sucked on his teeth, "You’re playing a very large game here."

Yixuan furrowed his brows slightly.

"It was also an unforeseen consequence."

He pondered.

"On the way to Dongcui City, someone from the Moon Palace informed me that someone from Dajin has come to Dongcui City."

"On that day outside Dongcui City, Third Brother pushed Fifth Brother forward to make people think Fifth Brother is the Young Master of the Qin family, which is very convenient for me."

"I once visited Dajin, although I only lingered on the outskirts, there’s no guarantee that no one saw me. Now I must remain hidden behind the scenes, my identity must not be discovered."

"There is another matter... something I learned today."

Yixuan took out a letter from his bosom.

"This letter was intercepted by the Moon Palace, from Yuwen’s side, or perhaps Liang Yuru, she is investigating! Investigating our brothers."

"I suspect she can no longer hold back."

Big Brother Zhi Chen took the letter, recognizing Liang Yuru’s handwriting.
