Time Travel and Love

As soon as these words came out, the brothers looked at each other in bewilderment. This was indeed the problem! Those two people came here specifically to keep an eye on Qing Meng! This was not something Qing Meng could decide!

"Secondly," Chu Qingmeng lowered his head as he reviewed the files, concentrating on two things at once. "These two concubines are not the Crown Prince's people. They were simply sent here by Yang Yu after the Crown Prince's concubine persuaded him. Their purpose has nothing to do with state affairs; they were originally sent to target me. The affairs of the harem cannot interfere with my father's plans."

"Why is the Crown Prince's concubine targeting you?" Mo Liufang looked at Chu Qingmeng in confusion.

Chu Qingmeng smiled and looked up at Mo Liufang. "Oh, big brother, I'm wondering too. How come I offended this prince's concubine even before I left the house after returning home? She even attacked me."

Mo Liujin was quite helpless. He never expected that the two concubines were not the prince's people, but Liu Qingqing's people!

"Qing Meng has ever met this concubine?" Mo Liujue frowned, trying hard to recall information about the prince's two concubines.

"Since I came back, I've only appeared once, at the Wanshou Festival. The main banquet. How could I have met this concubine?" Chu Qingmeng didn't look up, but there was a hint of sarcasm in his words. "Why don't you ask Third Brother for me how many bad relationships he has caused me in the past few years since I was away?"

Mo Liujue choked. What?! The brothers suddenly remembered the incident from more than ten years ago and all looked at Mo Liujin.

Mo Liujin rubbed his forehead and explained helplessly, "Didn't I tell you about this a long time ago?"

"Heh." Chu Qingmeng sneered, his pen still in hand. "It's true that this concubine is deeply in love with you, Third Brother. It's just that she chose the wrong target for revenge. It's not that I don't want to marry her, but she repeatedly sends people to kill me. What? If she kills me, you can marry her?"

"Three or four times?!" Mo Liuyuan noticed the details in her words and looked at her in confusion.

"Don't you know, second brother? The poison I was poisoned with during the siege was tailor-made for me. The medicine that suppressed the toxin was replaced. That was all done by your three dear cousins." Chu Qingmeng's brows knitted together as she looked at the file in front of her, but it didn't stop her from continuing to speak. "Thank goodness I've been on the fifth floor these past few days. In three days, seven assassinations took place, and two of my shadow guards were injured. It's really a big deal."

Mo Liujin's expression changed immediately, and he hurried forward to check if she was injured, only to notice that her fingertips were slightly swollen.

Chu Qingmeng's eyes didn't leave the file for a moment, and he withdrew his hand and said coldly, "Third brother, the day you got drunk, I had someone tell the Crown Prince about Qingqing Caoyuan above him. Now, although she has saved her life, she has been deposed, but she still won't stop. Her behavior is really a bit like a toad crawling on my feet. It doesn't hurt anyone, but it's disgusting. Originally, for the sake of Concubine Liu, I didn't think of touching her. But, does she want to fight me to the death today? She actually sent someone close to her. Although she couldn't hurt me, one of my shadow guards was killed by that person, so I plan to avoid this kind of harassment forever." He closed the file, stood up, looked at Mo Liujin's three brothers from the same mother, and spoke again, "If any of you want to protect her, I can show you a way. The tenth brother is trying his best to protect her. You can cooperate with him. As long as you are sure you can protect her from the 1,600 assassins on my fifth floor, then it's up to you."

She stood up, took the file, and walked to the door, whispering sarcastically, "This is why I hate the harem. She's so hostile to me even though she's never met me. Is it worth it just for a man who doesn't love her? Oh, life isn't just about the harem. Since you've already chosen to marry someone else, why are you so stubborn? The same goes for the Tenth Prince. If he loved her so deeply, he was willing to make an enemy of the Crown Prince to protect her, so why did he give her away in the first place? Are they truly affectionate, or are they truly heartless?"

Watching her walk out, Mo Liuteng, a seasoned veteran in the love field, seemed to sense something was amiss. He looked at Mo Liujin, who was frowning as she left, and hesitantly asked, "Third brother, you're not trying to save Liu Qingqing, are you?"

Mo Liujin looked at Mo Liuteng speechless for a moment, "Why should I protect her? Whether she lives or dies has nothing to do with me. If her death can make Qingmeng feel at ease, then I don't mind sending more people to help the killers on the fifth floor."

When Mo Liuchen heard this, he patted his chest and said to Mo Liuteng, "I was scared to death. What Qingmeng said made me think that Third Brother wanted to protect Liu Qingqing."

Mo Liujue kindly reminded Mo Liujin, "Third brother, Aunt Liu..."

"No one will say anything." Mo Liuyuan said coldly on behalf of Mo Liujin.

"Third brother, why don't you go take a look?" Mo Liuteng spoke again, "Why do I feel something is wrong with Qing Meng's last few words?"

"It's like he's seen through the world." Mo Liufang added with some worry in his eyes.

Mo Liujin, who was originally only worried about Chu Qingmeng's health, became anxious after hearing their chatter, and hurriedly got up to look for Chu Qingmeng.
