Chapter 4

"How do you know?" Empress Li asked confusedly. "Mother was poisoned." Qingyuan replied. "What?!" Liang Xue said angrily.

“If Mother and Eldest Brother trust me. I can give you an antidote.” Obviously Qingyuan. “A Yue, exactly what happened to you after you were kicked out?” Liang Xue asked sadly. "I will tell you slowly. The important thing is Mother's health." Qingyuan replied.

"I trust you." Empress Li said. Qingyuan handed over a bottle of medicine. "One pill is enough. The other pill, Mother can keep it and which servant is on duty for incense burner?" Qingyuan asked.

"Someone who just entered the palace." Answered Empress Li. "Eldest brother, tomorrow you have to catch that person when she changes it. Tomorrow, they will change with a bigger dose. There is evidence, so they can't dodge." Qingyuan said turning off the fragrance that was in the incense burner.

"Elder Brother and Mother, I will go first." Qingyuan said smiling before leaving. "A Yue, not the same as his old self. He has become very cold." Liang Xue said sadly. "He has his own predicament. In the future we can treat him better." Empress Li said. Liang Xue agreed.

Morning came quickly, Qingyuan walked the streets of the capital with his original face and enjoyed the atmosphere and scenery there. 'It's been a while since I've been gone. Unexpectedly, the capital has changed a lot.' thought Qingyuan flatly.

"Madam" called servant frantically. Qingyuan immediately approached the person and was quite shocked. “Yuxi” Qingyuan muttered. “Young master, please help madam.” Said the servant. Qingyuan lifted Yuxi up easily. "You show me the way." Qingyuan said. The servant immediately walked quickly towards their destination. "Why are you being like this, Yuxi?" Qingyuan muttered sadly. “A Yue” Yuxi muttered under her breath before fainting.

---Su's Mansion---

"Your mistress lives here?" Qingyuan asked. "Yes." The servant said opening the gate. Qingyuan followed the servant.

@room Lanying & Yuxi

Qingyuan laid Yuxi on the bed. "Call the physician here." Qingyuan said in response to the slow nod. The servant immediately came out. Qingyuan pulled up the blanket and tucked Yuxi in.

Qingyuan took Yuxi's hand to check her pulse and was startled. Qingyuan returned Yuxi's hand back to the quilt. When Qingyuan came out and was about to close the door. A sword was at his neck.

"Who are you?" Lanying asked annoyed. "I was just a passerby and saw your wife passed out so brought your wife back here." Qingyuan said calmly. “Marquis Qiu, this young master is only helping young madam.” The maid said panicked.

"Where are you going?" Lanying asked annoyed. "He only summoned a physician for your wife. Otherwise, I will leave." Qingyuan said flatly. Lanying put his sword back. Qingyuan turned and walked away. “A Yue” Lanying said annoyed.

Qingyuan froze in place. "In the future, don't leave Yuxi with strangers." Lanying advised the servant. “A Yue understands.” Said the servant who was called A Yue. Qingyuan stared at Lanying and A Yue silently.

...Su Lanying...

Qingyuan then left and walked until he arrived in front of the Snow Inn but he didn't enter but just stood in front for a long time.

...Zhang Qingyuan...

"A Yuan, what are you doing?" Bowen asked worriedly. Qingyuan looked at Bowen and smiled. "Nothing. Where are Feiyu and Tan Li?" Qingyuan asked. "Tan Li returned to her house. Feiyu went to look for you because you didn't come." Bowen explained.

"Let's go find Feiyu. Otherwise, he might be looking for trouble." Qingyuan said calmly. The two of them went to look for Feiyu and found Feiyu heading towards them carrying a food packing.

The three of them went to find an existing garden and ate their breakfast. "You have a problem?" Feiyu asked. Qingyuan smiled. "I'm fine. Just have a little thought." Obviously Qingyuan smiled.

"I've finally found you." Yuxi's servant named A Yue said. "You looking for me? Why?" Qingyuan asked. “Young mistress wants to see you.” A Yue said steadily calm. "I can't see her." Obviously Qingyuan.

"Why? My wife wants to see you and has to wait?" Lanying asked annoyed. "The Jianghu have rules and the Court has rules. We Jianghu people hate dealing with Court people the most. Please Marquis Qiu go home." Qingyuan said flatly.

"Young mistress told me to tell you I'm sorry." Ah Yue said. Qingyuan fell silent. Feiyu and Bowen looked at Qingyuan worriedly. "I'm coming with you." Qingyuan said flatly.

---Su's Mansion---

@Yuxi and Lanying's room

Qingyuan looked at Yuxi who was sitting while leaning against the head of the bed. "You know who I am?" Qingyuan asked. "You are Liang Yue. I always feel that at that time..." Yuxi was cut off.

“All is past. Let the past be in the past. You are now quite happy aren't you? You are already the wife of Marquis Qiu, having the title of Lady Fei.” Qingyuan said flatly.

"But at that time, I..." Yuxi was cut off. "I'm fine. Now in Jianghu, I'm very happy. If it weren't for the incidents in the past, I would still be trapped in that palace forever." Qingyuan said coldly.

"My father is still looking for you. He is still supporting you." Obviously Yuxi. "I don't want to be Emperor. I'm also not interested in Court. Everything will just be in vain. Today's meal, you better not eat it or else you might die. I saw Lord Ming's servants in your neighborhood." Qingyuan said flatly.

"That servant was sent to watch over me and Lanying." Obviously Yuxi was sad. "I'll find a way to get rid of it but don't eat the servant's food. Got that?" Qingyuan asked. Yuxi just smiled sweetly. "Thank you, for still worrying about me." Yuxi said.

"I'm going first. I will visit tomorrow with the identity of Liang Yue." Qingyuan said flatly before leaving.

@ outside the room

"Take good care of your wife." Qingyuan said before going over to Bowen and Feiyu. Lanying gave Qingyuan a confused look before stepping inside.
