Men are superior to women: the heartthrob in Yunqi

In the wedding room

Xu Qingcheng took out the jade skin cream and carefully applied it to the wound on Mu Yao's snow-white neck.

Seeing that he had dug out such a large piece, Mu Yao felt a little distressed and said, "Brother Xu, it's just a minor injury, you don't need so much."

"Ayao doesn't take care of herself at all." Xu Qingcheng trembled with lingering fear, and felt that the thin bloodstain was particularly glaring and suffocated him. After applying three layers, the bloodstain disappeared completely, and her skin was as white as before.

The two of them sat quietly on the wedding bed, facing each other in silence. Mu Yao had been waiting for Xu Qingcheng to ask about the Bloodthirsty Pavilion, but he never mentioned it from beginning to end. He just gently took off her wedding dress and gently stroked her to sleep.

A strong sense of guilt made it difficult for Mu Yao to calm down and she couldn't fall asleep at all.

She leaned tightly in Xu Qingcheng's arms, her lips trembling, and she raised her eyes several times, wanting to say something but stopping herself.

He was filled with so many worries that he didn't know how to start. He regretted so much that he had not told Xu Qingcheng about this.

Xu Qingcheng closed his eyes, held the bride tightly in his arms, and sniffed her black hair. After a while, he stopped stroking her beautiful back with his big hand, and murmured in a hoarse voice: "I'm tired today, take a good rest, and we can talk tomorrow if you have anything to say."

His thoughts were in disarray, and his chest felt like it was being pressed down by a huge rock. For a moment, he felt as if he had never understood the thoughts of the person in his arms. For a moment, he felt that he was nothing but a joke. For a moment, the deep loneliness pierced him to pieces.

Suddenly, his heart became much older.

The red candle lights up my sleepless night, and I am filled with sorrow.

The next day, the early sun, like pure golden light, shone through the window and onto the head of the bed.

Mu Yao followed Xu Qingcheng to the central hall early in the morning to offer tea to the Princess and Prime Minister Xu, and was surprised to see her father was there too.

After the ceremony, several elders looked at the young couple with pity, their faces full of worry. Their caring words came one after another, which made her originally uneasy heart calm down a little.

She turned to look at Xu Qingcheng, and saw that he was staring at her with deep eyes. She pursed her nose and told him the whole story.

The hall was so quiet that one could only hear the sound of heartbeats.

Seeing Xu Qingcheng's red eyes and pale face, Li Taifu couldn't bear to say what was on his lips. He sighed and said, "Qingcheng, you and Yaoyao go and rest first. We'll discuss this later."

Mu Yao's lips trembled slightly. She wanted to ask about Helian Yun's injuries, but she endured it in the face of her father's meaningful look and returned to her room with Xu Qingcheng.

Ye Jingshu and Prime Minister Xu looked at Li Taifu with an unclear expression. Seeing his embarrassed look, Xu Yuanming moved the lid of the bowl and asked, "What do you want to say, in-law?"

Li Changan stroked his beard, his eyes full of apology: "My dear relatives, this is really hard to say. You saw that the eldest son of the Helian family almost lost his life for Yaoyao. Although his life was saved, he is still not awake. We must give an explanation to the Helian family for this matter."

At this point, Ye Jingshu turned sideways alertly and stared at Master Li. She asked uncertainly, "What does the Helian family mean..."

Li Changan nodded affirmatively: "Helian Juzheng and his wife have already discussed this matter with me yesterday. It is not reasonable to refuse."

"What did Yaoyao say?" Ye Jingshu asked nervously.

"I have mentioned it to her before, and I will talk to her later." Li Taifu's meaning was clear that the marriage with the Helian family was a done deal. After all, Helian Yun risked his life for his daughter-in-law. If it weren't for the life-saving pill, I'm afraid the Xu family would have forged a deadly feud with the Helian family. If A Yao was interested in the Helian family, Qingcheng would let them talk.

"As for the Bloodthirsty Pavilion." Master Li had a solemn expression on his face, with an unprecedented murderous intent in his eyes.

Ye Jingshu and Xu Yuanming had already considered it. Now that the Helian family is involved, the chances of winning are even greater.

Xu Yuanming's usual Confucian temperament suddenly became fierce, and he said in a cold tone: "He must be eliminated."

Ye Jingshu knew a thing or two about the Bloodthirsty Pavilion. She had heard her brother enumerate the heinous crimes committed by this organization more than once. She couldn't help but worry, "Lord Wang has investigated the Bloodthirsty Pavilion for many years but has not found its base. The Pavilion Master is even more elusive, coming and going without a trace. It's not an easy task to eradicate it."

"It's not just not easy, it's harder than climbing to the sky. But we must find a way to get rid of it, otherwise A Yao and Qingcheng will not have peace in the future." Xu Yuanming's face turned pale and he said firmly.

First it was Wang Yanzhi, and now there is another Helian Yun. Qingcheng's wedding was completely disrupted by the Bloodthirsty Pavilion, how could he swallow this!

"Princess, come with me to the palace later to borrow troops from the emperor." Xu Yuanming wanted to borrow military force to suppress the Bloodthirsty Pavilion.

Li Changan had the same idea. Although it might not be effective, if he could get the emperor to pay attention to it, it would provide many guarantees for his daughter's safety.

The princess suddenly thought of something and said hurriedly, "The emperor is one thing, but should we ask the world's number one manor for help?"

Willow back to the wind?

Master Li had never dealt with him, but he was familiar with the old owner Liu Baichuan. He was a painting fanatic like him. If he asked him to help, Yaoyao's painting might work.

Li Taifu agreed with the princess's proposal, but Xu Yuanming rejected it: "Not appropriate. For the Bloodthirsty Pavilion, we have to fight poison with poison. I think we can consider "Dark Sorrow".

Ye Jingshu and Master Li were horrified and looked at Xu Yuanming in disbelief, unable to speak for a long time.

"An Shang" is Yunqi's largest assassination organization, with spies all over the world. It is also Yunqi's largest intelligence organization.

The difference between it and the Bloodthirsty Pavilion is that "Dark Sorrow" is openly engaged in the blood-licking business. As long as the price is affordable, they will accept it.

But they have no integrity at all. If one of them offers a higher price, they will counter-attack without hesitation. So you have to think carefully before making your first offer.

Although the two were shocked by Xu Yuanming's proposal, they did not refuse. After all, as members of the same assassination organization, they understood each other best.

Li Changan's eyes flickered and he said worriedly, "I heard that the leader of Anshang has a very bad temper and kills people based on his mood. I'm afraid this kind of person is not easy to deal with. This is a risky move!"

"It's better to be difficult to deal with! It takes evil to deal with evil people. I think father's trick is very good." Xu Qingcheng walked into the hall with a cold face and steady steps.

"Where is Yaoyao?" Ye Jingshu asked.

"Just fell asleep." Xu Qingcheng coaxed her for a long time before she stopped sobbing and fell asleep. He knew that A Yao had been tossing and turning all night and had not slept well.

"Dad, there is no time to lose. I plan to go to Nanyue to find Anshang." Xu Qingcheng said firmly.

Li Taifu felt that it was inappropriate, too hasty, and it would easily cause trouble, so he suggested: "Qingcheng, be patient. Let's discuss it after your parents return to the palace."

"By the way, when Yaoyao wakes up later, let her come see me." Master Li said.

Just after the hour of Wei, Mu Yao tidied herself up a bit and went to "Xiaochiyuan" with a heavy heart.

"Dad, are you looking for me?"

Li Changan saw his daughter's serious expression and sighed, "Come sit next to Dad."

Looking closely at his daughter's stunning appearance, he felt for the first time that it would be great if Yaoyao looked like other noble ladies.

"Helian Yun has woken up. Go check on him later." Master Li observed Mu Yao's expression without blinking.

Sure enough, that sad face now had a touch of brightness.

"Really? I was worried..."

"What are you worried about? Are you worried that he won't wake up?" When Master Li saw his daughter's anxious look, he understood about half of what she was thinking.

"We didn't tell anyone about you giving the pills. Doctor Wen didn't know about it. He just kept sighing that the boy was lucky and had a long life. If you want Helian Yun to know that it was your credit, go and tell him yourself." Tutor Li said jokingly from the side.

"Dad, I feel like I can never repay him for what I owe him in this lifetime." Mu Yao felt so distressed when she thought of the cold blade that had pierced his abdomen that day.

Li Changan saw that Mu Yao's eyes were red, so he patted her shoulder and said in a deep voice: "Be at ease and wait for your marriage, and treat him well."

Mu Yao's breath was choked, and she looked up at her father with complicated eyes, without saying a word for a long time.

"Dad understands and knows your concerns. Your parents-in-law also know about this, and they will tell Qingcheng about it. You and Qingcheng just got married, so it shouldn't be put on the agenda so soon, but who knew this would happen."

Suddenly, she thought of Wang Yanzhi again, and could only reluctantly say, "Yaoyao, there are some things you can't avoid. Qingcheng won't be your only one, and Helian Yun won't be the last. Just do what you want."

Mu Yao pondered over her father's words and asked uncertainly, "Dad, what do you mean?"

"Dad means that since you can't avoid the secular world, just let it go. Don't get stuck in a dead end, which will make yourself suffer and others suffer. Dad thinks you are not slow in emotional issues, but you are too entangled in your desire to be with someone for the rest of your life. Dad didn't want to ask about your past, but Dad often wonders, Yaoyao, where are you from? Why do you have such incompatible thoughts?"

When Mu Yao heard her father questioning her past, she avoided his gaze guiltily, lowered her head, and quickly sorted out the appropriate words in her mind.

Seeing Mu Yao was silent, Li Changan was worried that he had touched upon her sorrow, so he immediately interrupted her and said, "Yaoyao, Helian Yun is fine. Go check on his injuries. If he is not seriously injured, let him go back home to recuperate."

Mu Yao nodded slightly, and suddenly thought of that scary man. She gritted her teeth and said, "Dad, the Bloodthirsty Pavilion has gone too far this time. I must avenge this."

Li Taifu stroked his beard in agreement and said comfortingly, "That man disrupted your wedding with Qingcheng and injured so many high-ranking officials in the court. The Bloodthirsty Pavilion must pay the price. You can rest assured. Dad can see that you have lost weight in the past few days. Your parents-in-law and I will handle this matter. I will tell you when there is a clue."

"Dad, how many people were killed or injured this time?" Mu Yao had never dared to ask this question. She felt suffocated when she thought of the tragic scene that day. The strong sense of guilt seemed to wrap her tightly in an endless night, with no light at all.

"The Bloodthirsty Pavilion still has some bottom line. No women or children were injured. The rest, more than 300 people were injured, 58 dead. This time the emperor was furious, and your parents-in-law went to the palace to request troops. Many court officials were killed and injured, so it is inevitable to send troops to kill them. Yaoyao, your parents-in-law and I will handle these follow-up matters. You should focus on the injuries of Helian Yun and your second brother first."

"Second brother is also injured?" Mu Yao suddenly raised his voice a few degrees. He clearly saw Xie Ci protecting him that day.

"Nothing happened. He just fell off his chair in the chaos. Doctor Wen has examined him and there are no new injuries."

Her father's words made her breathe a sigh of relief. Then he said, "Dad, Master Xie helped a lot. Is he injured? And Helian Qing, is he okay?"

Speaking of Xie Ci, Li Taifu's eyes suddenly became sharp. According to Prime Minister Xu, Xie Ci and General Zhao beside him used all their strength to resist dozens of elite assassins and protected many people present. As a Beiming State Master, why did he not evacuate early, but wade into this muddy water? His eyes turned deep as he looked at his daughter.

"Don't worry, Master Xie is fine. Helian Qing is also fine. She was here with Helian Yun last night and went back early this morning. Maybe she will come to see you soon, don't worry."

After Helian Qing and Helian Zhongzheng returned last night, they moved more than 2,000 palace soldiers to the rescue. Almost all the elite private soldiers that could be mobilized in the palace were dispatched, which shows how much they valued Helian Yun.

When Mu Yao stepped into "Fangcao Garden", she heard Helian Yun coughing.

She quickened her pace and suddenly pushed open the doors, seeing several pairs of eyes staring at her intently.

Shen Zhixue could now clearly see that stunning face that made people recall her dreams in the sunlight, and she felt her soul tremble. No wonder her son was willing to risk his life to protect her.

Helian Juzheng was afraid that he had never seen such a beautiful woman in his life. His son's injury was worth it! He was so angry for his beloved, but he didn't expect that his son could still maintain the energy of a young man at his age.

"Yaoyao, right? Come and sit here." Shen Zhixue excitedly pulled her to her side and looked at her carefully with a smile in her eyes.

Mu Yao awkwardly adjusted her sitting position and looked at Helian Yun. She saw that he was leaning on a satin pillow, looking at her with deep eyes.

Seeing that his face was pale, but his breathing was steady and his eyes were clear, I felt a little relieved.

Mu Yao turned to Shen Zhixue and Helian Juzheng and said with a smile, "Uncle and aunt are doing well."

This smile melted the hearts of both of them. Helian Juzheng was the first to react and took away Shen Zhixue who was asking questions, leaving the space for the two children.

"My parents like you very much." Helian Yun smiled. Since he woke up, the first thing he did was to ask about Mu Yao's safety. After learning that the beauty was fine, his whole body relaxed.

Mu Yao smiled lightly without saying anything, gently took his white wrist, and touched his cold white skin, her heart trembling slightly. She suppressed the throbbing in her heart and concentrated on carefully checking his pulse.

The beauty was right before his eyes, and the elegant scent of gardenia made him feel dazed, recalling the nostalgia he felt that day.

Seeing that his pulse was unstable, Mu Yao frowned slightly, and when she looked up, she met those burning eyes, which were staring straight at her and expressing her affection without any disguise. She was so startled that she instantly withdrew her fingers, but was quickly pinched in the other party's palm.

Helian Yun gently rubbed her jade-like fingers, which were delicate and slightly cool. He called out in a deep voice, "Yaoyao, I want to hold you like this for the rest of my life."
