Chapter 243: Chapter 243 She is very interesting, very mysterious,

Qi Yue was always used to being direct, she merely paused for a moment before immediately asking, “How do you plan to deal with me?”

Song Qiyun pursed his lips, looked down at the teacup on the table for a long time before saying, “You just need to believe that I have a way to keep you safe.”

Believe my ass!

A modern soul believing these old-fashioned ancients who can’t spit anything straight from their dog mouths?

Isn’t that a joke?

Besides, who knows what kind of good intentions Song Qiyun has in his belly?

How come he looks as if they already had some kind of a relationship?

Why would he say such things out of the blue?

Qi Yue found it utterly laughable.

Why did all these men think she should fancy them and rely on them to survive?

Hu Keqing, Qu Wei, Qin Zhongyu…except for Zhao Xiyan.

Cough, why bring him up out of the blue!

However, the implications in Song Qiyun’s words couldn’t be ignored!

Suddenly, her gaze swept over the entire Plum Blossom Villa, and a flash of inspiration struck her mind!

She seemed to have been set up!

Song Chengye had her stay here, presumably to treat this matter as a major international incident!

With this, her private enmity with Qing Nanzun had escalated into a dispute between two countries.

In the future, whether she left or did something else, she’d have to consider and take into account much more!

It must be said, Song Chengye was indeed an old fox of a thousand years, quietly digging such a big pit!

Only to blame her for thinking too simply and not incorporating the whole court into her considerations!

At this thought, Qi Yue snorted coldly.

“Princely Heir Qiyun, we’re mere strangers. Please don’t talk in a manner that can lead to misunderstandings. Just state your true purpose!”

Upon hearing this, Song Qiyun looked up, showing a somewhat innocent expression in his eyes.

“Why would Miss Qi say such things? That night under the moon, I fell in love with you at first sight. I believe you also felt something for me. It’s okay if you don’t admit it now; my intentions remain unchanged. I will help you out of this predicament, and one day, you’ll see my true heart.”

“Today, I begged Father King to allow me to come over and tell you these words. I have no other purpose.”

Qi Yue frowned.

She hadn’t expected Song Qiyun to say these words again.

That innocent look paired with a clean and fresh appearance and demeanor made it seem like every word he said came from the heart.

But who’s Qi Yue?

Having watched so many TV dramas and read so many books, she had some understanding of human nature.

In any case, she did not believe in this so-called sincere affection that came out of nowhere.

Back then, she accompanied Zhao Xiyan through life and death, caring for him wholeheartedly, yet it wasn’t enough to earn his undivided love.

Talk about love at first sight?

Give me a break!

She would never again believe in these dog men.

That night must have been possessed!

How did she see the shadow of Zhao Xiyan in Song Qiyun?

She snorted coldly and stood up.

“Princely Heir Qiyun, please tell King Ye his Highness that the portrait he wants will be delivered early tomorrow morning. I will take my leave now.”

Just as she stepped forward, she heard Song Qiyun suddenly say, “Miss Qi, is it because of Zhao Xiyan that you won’t accept me?”

Qi Yue turned around sharply and met those innocent eyes once again.

It has to be said, men with such a clean and fresh outer appearance naturally have an advantage – they are deceiving.

Ordinary women are easily confused by such a facade, unable to imagine what his world inside is truly like.

She laughed coldly.

“If you think so, then so be it.”

On her way back, Qi Yue kept pondering over Song Qiyuan’s actions, feeling that something was slightly amiss.

She wasn’t one to disbelieve in love at first sight, but Song Qiyun’s behavior was just too exaggerated.

Unable to figure it out, she eventually stopped trying and entered the space in her study to start painting.

She had promised Chengye that she would paint all the people she had seen.

There was an art class next door to her house when she was young, teaching middle school students how to paint portraits. She used to visit often, listening to their talk of “three courts and five eyes” and found it very interesting, even painting a few pieces herself.

The teacher even said she was extremely talented and wanted to take her in without charging any fees.

Besides, she had been holding a writing brush and drawing herbs since she was young. Later, when studying medicine, she also drew various anatomical diagrams. Sketching a few portraits was quite easy for her.

Moreover, she was just sketching casually since all these people were fictitious anyway.

Not even half a Shichen had passed before she had completed more than a dozen portrait sketches.

But Qi Yue suddenly got a bit carried away and decided to take out more paper. Following the bluff she had given to Chengye, she drew several scenes.

The first depicted a giant ladder extending like a hand from outside the Imperial City, with someone walking out of a small house and entering Qianhua Hall.

The second showed about a dozen people coming from all directions, carrying various objects in their hands. They ascended the ladder and entered the small room.

The third painting was of the arm-like ladder retracting back beyond the palace walls.

In truth, what she had drawn was the tower crane commonly seen in modern society.

This kind of machine could be explained by human effort, but it was something utterly unachievable by the people of this world.

She believed that these images, filled with both reality and absurdity, would captivate the people of Donggao and they would be unable to extricate themselves.

At this time, Song Qiyun had already returned to the Yewang Prefecture.

As soon as he entered the door, a maid came forward to help him change out of his ceremonial garb and into comfortable regular clothes.

He then leaned back on the couch with a sense of relief, allowing another maid to remove the Jade Hoop from his head and let his hair down, gently massaging his scalp.

At that moment, Chengye walked in. The maids tending to him noticed and immediately moved to rise, but he ordered them to stop.

“Continue!”

The maid dared not move again and continued to massage his scalp.

Chengye frowned and scolded the attendant.

“Aren’t you going to leave? Are you blind?”

The maid hurried to stand up, accidentally tugging at Qiyun’s hair in her haste, and quickly knelt down in panic.

“Princely Heir, please forgive me, I did not do it on purpose.”

Qiyun lazily climbed up from the couch, extended a hand to grasp the maid’s chin, examining her closely for a moment.

“Some people really do have a lot of nerve!”

The maid shivered. Before she could speak, she was tossed aside.

Chengye knitted his brows.

“Qiyun, she’s new. It’s normal for her service to be rough around the edges. There’s no need to frighten her.”

He then asked the maid to leave.

Without speaking, Qiyun lazily lay back down.

“Father, what brings you here?”

Chengye gave a signal to the attendant beside him, who immediately went out and closed the door.

“Qiyun, Father heard that you went to see Qi Yue?”

“Yes.”

“How did it go? Is she the person we’re looking for?”

“Hard to say.” Qiyun sat up from the couch, a sly smile slowly spreading across his clean, fresh face.

“She’s fascinating and mysterious; even if she’s not who we’re looking for, she could still be of use.”

“So, Qiyun, you’re saying we should keep her?” asked Chengye.

“Hmph.” Qiyun let out a muffled snort from his throat, “Doesn’t Father think she could do many things for us?”

“You mean….”

Qiyun chuckled lightly, deliberately straightening his wide sleeves.

“…Father, there’s no rush. Let’s wait for news from Beiyuan before we plan our next move.”
