Qian You suddenly took a step back, slowly opened his eyes, and looked at the young man in front of him from top to bottom and from bottom to top.

Qi Luobai is as gentle as jade with a hint of melancholy in his temperament. His big single eyelids may indicate double folds, making him look even colder.

An obvious mole on the tall and transparent nose bridge does not feel like a flaw, but rather makes it particularly vivid.

The boy grew very fast.

When they came, their eyes were at eye level, and she always took care of him like a younger brother.

At this moment, seeing the young man's prominent Adam's apple rolling and his longing eyes staring at her, she subconsciously remembered what Cangyu had said, that she and he ended up together in her previous life, and he also issued an imperial decree for her to be together for this lifetime, giving her endless honor.

However, in this life, there is already someone who has taken her heart first.

“Luo Bai, when you meet someone in life, the order of appearance is very important.

If many people had met at a different time, perhaps the ending would have been different.

In this life, I already have someone in my heart."

Qian You said slowly and in a low voice.

She doesn't want to give others unnecessary hope.

"Are you saying that I have no chance?"

Qi Luobai's eyes became sad and the corners of his lips trembled slightly.

“After meeting each other, some people become friends, some become partners, and some may even become enemies.

Regardless of others, to me, the meaning of meeting is to illuminate each other.

In this world, it is not easy to live, and it is even more difficult for several living people to come together and plan something meaningful.

There is not only love between people, but also family affection.

Staying together is not only to have each other, but also to make each other successful.

There are more forms of fulfillment than just marriage…”

Qian You controlled her speaking speed, fearing that her words would have a negative impact on young people.

"But, I have no relatives other than you. Can't you be my family?"

Qi Luobai had tears in his eyes, but he tried his best to control them.

“In this world, all the joys and sorrows need to be experienced slowly by oneself, including me.

Accepting Cangyu doesn't mean that I will rely on him.

You are the best confidant in this world.

Time is the best support in this world.

Whatever you want, whether it is family or love, time may take it away from you, but it will be brought to you at another time.

You feel that you have lost a lot at this point in time, such as your father, your position as crown prince, your country, and your relatives, so you are now extremely eager to possess new things.

But after going through it, you should know that there are no obstacles that cannot be overcome, and no one that cannot be left behind. "

Qian You looked at Qi Luobai seriously, shook his hand sincerely, and raised it to their sight.

"Now, this period, is not the time for you to think about this. Focus on your energy. Your father may still be waiting for you. There may still be a dark road ahead for you. When the clouds and fog clear, your state of mind will also become clear. Believe in me, and believe in yourself."

After a long silence, Qi Luobai nodded heavily and his expression returned to its cold and serious state.

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

The experience during this period has indeed made him grow a lot.

Fortunately, he was with Qian You and experienced the care and warmth from his family that he had never experienced before.

"Qiao Mu, you've worked hard on this trip. What did you gain?"

Qian You walked into the front hall and saw a person who was obviously thinner, and felt a little emotional.

Although by chance, I saved Qiao Nan and gave the two homeless children a home and a new life, it seemed that they had always been living their lives around me, and I had never asked them what kind of life they wanted.

"I got some results. I led a group to secretly visit all the small mountain villages at the junction of Beiyan and Dongcang. Finally, I chatted with villagers over 40 years old in a place called Jishui Village and got some information.

Someone mentioned that more than a decade ago, a group of Beiyan soldiers suddenly appeared in the village and searched for a mother and daughter. In the end, the middle-aged woman jumped off the cliff with her teenage daughter. The soldiers went down the mountain to search for several days, but in the end they didn’t know whether they had found the bodies of the mother and daughter.

"Have you drawn a map of the area around the village?"

“I have.”

Qiao Mu took out a long scroll from his arms and spread it out on the table.

Baili Ming and Qian You moved closer to observe.

After a long time, Baili Ming hesitated.

"Is the back side of this mountain the place where my father and brothers fought against Bei Yan?"

"I inquired about it. More than a decade ago, General Baili conquered three cities in Beiyan. The third city is right here. The locals call this mountain Qingshan. The terrain is very complex, and it is filled with miasma all year round. Few people can come out alive after entering the mountain. This is also the reason why the soldiers searched the mountain so sloppily. No one dared to go deep into the mountain, so they probably didn't find the bodies of the mother and daughter, and they lied that they were eaten by wild beasts and nothing was left."

"What's the woman's name? Or what's the middle-aged woman's name? When did she live in Jishui Village?"

"The old man in his forties couldn't explain it clearly. He only remembered that the mother and daughter came to seek refuge with his brother. They stayed at his house. His brother was a hunter. His family was the best in Jishui Village, with two sons and a daughter. The daughter was especially beautiful, and was known far and wide in several nearby villages. It was said that she had the chance to enter the palace and become a queen. This was also something that people in the local area talked about with great relish."

"What's the family's surname? Where is it now?"

"The surname is Chen. More than ten years ago, a daughter of the Chen family moved to the capital of Beiyan with her family members. No one in the village knows where she lives now."

"This place is close to where my father fought. My mother suddenly appeared on the battlefield. Could she have lived in this mountain for many years? Could she be the missing woman?"

Qian You always felt a pain in his heart, as if something was pulling it, interrupting the conversation between his second uncle and Qiao Mu.

"An ordinary peasant woman and her daughter were hunted down by soldiers. They must have had a complicated past. Keep investigating. Send a message to Yin Jie. Have a secret investigation of the Chen family in the capital of Beiyan. A dozen years ago, there was a concubine named Chen in the palace. Why did she enter the palace? How is she now?"

"Okay! I'll arrange it right away."

After Qiao Mu left, Qian You fell into silence.

If Yi Yi was that woman, why was she being hunted down?

Why didn't she tell her father and grandfather about her life experience, or about the time when she was hunted by Bei Yan?

Don't think about it. Everything will come to light one day.

Now that she had gotten some clues, she believed that she would eventually get closer to the truth of the matter by unraveling it.

"Second Uncle, what are your plans for what happens next?"

"I was thinking, your grandfather and father have been rehabilitated, but all 88 members of the family have been killed and we can't even build a tomb for them. How can we comfort their souls?"

"Grandfather and his men died because of the selfishness of the old Dongcang Emperor and Song Ren'an, but the main culprit was Beiyan. They were afraid of General Dongcang and wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible. In addition, more than 80 people in Dongbohou Mansion were killed by Beiyan people. We haven't avenged this yet, and we haven't comforted the dead souls yet."

"did you mean?"

"Beiyan has strong soldiers and horses, and also has the advantage of geographical location. It was originally the imperial city of the Lan Dynasty, so it is impregnable. The target of our revenge is the Emperor of Beiyan. It is not easy to overthrow a country. This is truly a strong enemy. We can only do this once, otherwise we will decline and eventually run out of steam."
