Chapter 230 I’m going to find him
"You look so distracted, what are you trying to say? Have you forgotten that she is the murderer of your master?"
Xiao Mo's scattered gaze instantly focused when she heard his words and she looked at him coldly.
She took the initiative to approach him, get close to Concubine Liang, and find ways to stroll around Yongyang Palace and stay temporarily in the Eastern Palace.
The purpose is to gain their trust while looking for opportunities to slowly disintegrate their power.
But the ultimate purpose of doing all this, besides revenge for her master, is that she wants to take this opportunity to pave the way for Qi Minxiu.
Because now the only adult princes under the emperor's name are Qi Yue and Qi Minxiu.
If Qi Yue ascended the throne, he would definitely find an opportunity to get rid of Qi Minxiu.
Only when Qi Minxiu sits on the throne himself can he better protect himself and her.
But if he doesn't come back, then all of this will be in vain.
She didn't care about the Crown Princess, the Eastern Palace, or the future Queen. She only cared about him now.
The moment Qi Yue and Xiao Mo looked at each other, he saw the indifference in her eyes.
He didn't understand whether her cold and piercing eyes were directed at him or at Qi Minxiu through him.
Just when he was about to ask, she took the initiative to explain.
"Of course I remember, but I don't want to lie to you. I still care about him in my heart."
Qi Yue's pupils dilated, and he looked at her in disbelief: "Amo, have you forgotten how your master died tragically in the back mountain of Qinzhu Pavilion?"
"You've never been to Qinshan, so how do you know there's Qinzhu Pavilion there? And how do you know my master died in the back mountain?"
Xiao Mo turned around, raised her eyes and looked at him coldly.
Qi Yue looked away guiltily: "How could I know? This matter has become such a big deal, of course I heard it from others."
Xiao Mo sneered in her heart, and the corners of her mouth curled up subconsciously.
The time is not right now, and she cannot expose him yet, otherwise she really wants to ask why he is so cruel.
"I'm sorry, I'm in a bad mood and didn't mean to do this to you."
Xiao Mo lowered her eyes with a hint of self-blame, which made Qi Yue look distressed.
He wanted to go up and hug her, but she cleverly dodged him: "I want to be quiet for a while. I'll come back to see you when I'm better."
After saying that, she strode away without looking back.
Qi Yue stood there, frowning slowly: "She still loves Qi Minxiu, right?"
Yuan Mu stood behind him and was stunned for a moment before realizing that he might be asking him.
"General Xiao is sentimental. It takes time to let go of someone. If she forgets someone she has loved for a long time all of a sudden, it would seem a bit fake."
Qi Yue narrowed his eyes and frowned again: "But that's her enemy."
"It's hardest to let go of a loved one who becomes your enemy, but General Xiao is a man who knows right from wrong. Even if he loves someone, he will slowly let go. Your Highness needs to give her some time."
Yuan Mu rarely speaks up for anyone, but Xiao Mo is the only woman he has met in all the time he has been with Qi Yue that he admires from the bottom of his heart.
Qi Yue looked at the figure gradually disappearing in the distance, put his thoughts aside and nodded.
"You're right. If she can easily forget Qi Minxiu, then she won't have any real feelings for me."
As long as she is willing to put in the effort, as long as she is willing to stay by his side, even if they are close physically, will their hearts still be far apart?
He didn't know whether he had figured it out or was just deceiving himself.
Xiao Mo returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion in a panic. After entering Suqiyuan, her legs went weak and she almost fell to her knees.
Fortunately, Shen Yun was quick to support her: "Miss!"
She waved her hand, took a deep breath and stood up: "I'm fine, pack up, let's go to Suizhou."
"Ah?!" Shen Yun exclaimed in surprise and chased after him uncertainly: "Miss, are you going to look for His Royal Highness Prince Chen?"
"Although I didn't do all this for him, he can't die at this time!"
If Qi Minxiu was really gone, then she would have lost one of the spiritual pillars that supported her revenge.
She couldn't imagine how she would be able to hold on without him if she encountered any problems in the future.
Apart from Xiao Mo, Shen Yun was the only one who knew about Nie Changyuan's affairs.
She saw how Xiao Mo took time out from her busy schedule to think about Qi Minxiu these days.
It is difficult to forget a lover with whom you have a deep blood feud, let alone one with whom you have no feud.
She understood her current mood, and the only thing she could do was to stay with her and help her find Qi Minxiu.
Just like when she fell off the cliff, Qi Minxiu looked for her day and night.
Suizhou was more than 800 miles away from the imperial city. Xiao Mo was so eager to save people that she rode a fast horse without stopping for a moment and arrived in just three days.
When she arrived at Suizhou City, she disguised herself as a man and went to the Suizhou prefect, and inquired about Qi Minxiu's situation in her capacity as the head of Prince Chen's secret guards.
The prefect thought she was sent by the emperor and wanted to treat her to a good meal and drink. However, she disappeared as soon as the food was served.
Looking at the empty guest room, the prefect was wondering why he disappeared when he just turned around to get something, and then the person actually sent by the emperor arrived.
The process of their inquiry was completely different from Xiao Mo's. After understanding what happened, they ate the food that they had not had time to remove before leaving.
Outside the city, on the bank of Suizhou River, looking at the river that was more than ten meters wide, Xiao Mo's heart finally died.
Such a wild and turbulent river is like an angry dragon that can devour everything in the world.
Human beings seem so insignificant in the face of such nature.
Qi Minxiu, if you really fall into such a vortex, how will you swim out alive?
"Qi Minxiu! Qi Minxiu!" Xiao Mo roared in anger, calling his name over and over again.
Shen Yun stood behind her, and seeing her heartbroken look, her eyes also turned red.
"Miss, Miss..." She reached out to hold her, fearing that she would slip and fall.
Xiao Mo fell to her knees, leaned on Shen Yun's waist, covered her head and cried for a long time before wiping away her tears and standing up again.
She searched for several kilometers around the bridge that had not yet been built for several days, and never left at night.
Just when her body was about to give up, she finally saw the figure she had been thinking about day and night at the bank of a forked river.
Shen Yun tried to dissuade her many times, hoping that she would focus on her health and not collapse before finding the person, but she only agreed verbally every time.
Just now, Shen Yun had decided to knock her out and take her back to the city, but just as he was about to do it, he heard her scream.
"It's Ah Xiu! Yun, it's him, look, it's him!"
Xiao Mo excitedly pointed at the person who was washed ashore by the river not far away, with tears and smiles on her face.
Shen Yun looked in the direction she pointed, and after a closer look, it seemed that it was indeed the Prince Chen in her impression.
