Baby, don't be afraid, I'll accompany you to the heavens and the seas!

The outer hall of the Eastern Palace's Feather Hall!

Yulan and Shuer each held a warm silk handkerchief and stood on either side of the prince, carefully wiping away the streams of blood and tears seeping from the corners of his eyes!

Qing Tingyu sat lazily on the soft chair, raising her hand to pat the restlessness coming from her abdomen!

After Mei Zifeng had someone escort Prince Mu back to his official residence outside the city, he came to carry the secret letter that Mei Ziye had sent back to the East Palace to fulfill his mission!

"Your Highness, Ziye has sent a secret letter saying that Young Master Luo recognized the parasitic beast kept by the Hanba tribe in a very short time!"

Qing Tingyu raised his hand to dismiss Yulan and Shuer, and thoughtfully overturned the secret letter that Mei Zifeng had presented with both hands!

"How did Young Master Luo discover that I was raising parasitic beasts in the back mountains?!"

"Tsk tsk tsk~ I had no idea that there were traitors in the Eastern Palace?! Such audacious leaks?!"

Once the seed of doubt is planted in the prince's heart, it must be extinguished with boiling blood to prevent it from taking root and sprouting!

Mei Zise, who often went hunting in the mountains behind the East Palace with Qianqian, immediately slid down to kneel at the Crown Prince's feet and explained, "Your Highness, Young Master Luo often invites me to hunt rabbits in the mountains, but I always replace the rabbits we hunt!"

"A wild rabbit infested with parasites couldn't possibly fall into his hands, so why would it arouse any suspicion or speculation from Young Master Luo?!"

"My lord, please have mercy!!!" Guage Meizi Se roared to the sky, hoping that His Highness the Crown Prince, who was already pregnant, would spare his dog's life!

Qing Tingyu impatiently wiped away the unstoppable tears of blood from the corners of her eyes with her sleeve, and said sarcastically, "Your Young Master Luo may seem to be doing nothing, but in reality, he's been poaching my women behind my back!"

"Right now, your Young Master Luo must think that I am even more guilty, that I treat human life like dirt, and that I have used her as a pawn to throw her into the northern desert!!"

"Tsk tsk tsk~ I was wondering why this letter from home took so long to arrive??"

"So it turns out that your Young Master Luo thought I was ruthless and cruel, knowing about the parasitic beasts yet offering no help, needlessly causing the death of General Zhao Da!!"

"So, it seems that your Young Master Luo must have developed a rift with me!!!"

Seeing that His Highness the Crown Prince was becoming increasingly agitated, Mei Zifeng quickly said, "Master, since Guang Er is in charge of taming the parasitic beasts in the back mountain, why not summon him here and get to the bottom of this!"

Before long, Guang Er, who had just finished comforting Ah Huang in the back mountain and was tidying up to leave work, was called back to his workstation by his master.

Seeing the heavy atmosphere in the outer hall, Guang Er immediately kowtowed to the Crown Prince to beg for forgiveness, saying, "Your Highness, please forgive me!!"

Seeing that the Crown Prince was lost in thought, Mei Zifeng asked Guang Er, "Guang Er, did you reveal anything about the parasitic beasts to Young Master Luo?!"

"Huh??!" Guang Er, who had met Qian Qianluo a few times, looked completely bewildered. "Your Highness, by the heavens above, Guang Er has never betrayed Your Highness or the Eastern Palace!!"

Tears streaming down his face, Guang Er crawled to Qing Tingyu's feet and hurriedly explained, "Young Master Luo and I have only met a few times, Master, please understand!!!"

Qing Tingyu naturally knew that the heartless person was inseparable from her day and night!

So? That's why he was even more puzzled as to how that person knew about these sordid things!

Qing Tingyu opened her eyes impatiently and scoffed.

"I have inflicted so much humiliation and harm on your young master, and this humiliation and harm have accompanied her day and night!"

"Shouldn't she just stay put and wallow in these humiliations and hurts?!"

"Why did you have to turn the tables on us, disrupting the chess game Father laid out and attempting to overturn this predetermined fate?!"

"What's even more infuriating is that I actually have to personally clean up the mess left by your Young Master Luo!!!"

Inside the outer hall, everyone listened to the Crown Prince's cold and ruthless statement, and they all felt that his words were extremely chilling!

Mei Zifeng, suppressing her fear, stepped forward to comfort him, "Your Highness, Young Master Luo may know some sordid matters, but! Young Master Luo will definitely stand by Master's side!"

Guage Meizi also stepped forward and chimed in, "Yes! Master, even if Young Master Luo knew all this, he wouldn't be your enemy. Your Master still possesses the bones of an immortal!"

"Hmph!" Qing Tingyu scoffed.

Suppressing his anger, he raised his hand and ordered, "A common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime. Zifeng?!"

Mei Zifeng naturally understood the Crown Prince's meaning and immediately ordered the remaining guards to throw everyone involved in the parasitic beast incident into the dungeon!

Kouji was utterly exasperated; he had just gotten off work! "Waaah~ My master is wise!!"

Gua Ge Mei Zi Se also kowtowed and thanked him, saying, "Your master is wise!!!"

After Guang Er and Mei Zi Se's group were escorted into the dungeon, Qing Ting Yu felt increasingly suffocated!

He sat in the high hall, squinting at the still pitch-black night sky, and felt a pang of sorrow in his heart!

Seeing that the Crown Prince's tears had stopped, Yulan forced a smile and stepped forward to help him into the inner palace to rest. "Your Highness, it's late. Please go to bed and rest!"

Qing Tingyu ignored Yulan's words of comfort and dismissed the servants in the outer hall with a wave of her hand, "Get out!!!"

The matter has been completely resolved!

The incense in the outer hall, carried by the night breeze, playfully chased after the faint lights, seemingly bored!

Qing Tingyu sat alone on the high hall, propping his head up with his hand, squinting as he tried to see when the dark sky would be replaced by the dawn's light.

Beneath the dome of the northern desert;

Qianqian was awakened by the sound of horn drums in the middle of the night!

Donning the new military armor presented on the low table in the main hall, holding a bow and arrow, with a precious sword at her waist, and with her long black hair tied up high, she entered the main hall in the front garden to discuss important military matters!

General Wan, along with his former generals from the northern deserts, had already positioned themselves in front of the vast sand table, beginning to analyze the recent military situation and unusual movements of the Hanba tribe!

Qianqian, with her beautiful features, strode in with the other two young generals to discuss military matters. "Greetings, generals!"

Seeing Qianqian Luo smiling and behaving politely, Wanqing raised an eyebrow and pulled her into the midst of the generals. "Come, come! General Luo, take a look at this map of the Hanba tribe's military strength distribution. What are your thoughts?!"

Qianqian, her slender figure squeezed among the generals, felt both embarrassed and frightened. "Hahaha~ General Wan, you flatter me. I was blind and really didn't know!"

Seeing this, Mei Ziye and Yang Chenqing also stepped forward and pulled Qianqianluo out, then laughed at General Wan, "General Luo only knows some rudimentary martial arts, she doesn't understand any military strategy!"

Ling Xiao smiled knowingly and put his arm around Zhao Ye's waist. "Hmm? I heard from Vice General Zhao Ye that General Luo is from the Eastern Palace. Didn't His Highness the Crown Prince teach General Luo these things?"

After being tormented for so long, Zhao Ye can barely stand by supporting himself on the sand table with his hands!

When Ling Xiao, that barbarian, grabbed him, Zhao Ye almost gasped for breath!
