The Fourth Lady

Qingyan very quietly listened to Murong Jingxuan's words. Lastly, she lifted her head to look towards him, "If it was you, what would you do? Would you also let go of Qilian Qingyan's hand?"

He held Qingyan's hand and replied with a smile, "My situation is different from Weisheng Junmo's. I have a choice, but he didn't. That's why he could only let go of Xianyi Empress's hand, but for me, no matter what happens, " He placed Qingyan's hand up to his heart, "I would never let go of your hand."

Qingyan happily smiled, "In this life, the husband is the boulder, the wife as grass. A boulder doesn't move, and grass is strong as silk.*"

(*TN: This line comes from the poetry tale 'Peacocks Fly Southeast' from an unknown poet during the Han dynasty. The meaning behind it, from the context of the original tale, reads: 'Although we're forced to separate, the love between us is indestructible. For love you have to be like a boulder, to hold your ground an not move, I have to be like pampas grass, strong and unbreakable.' It's a vow the main character from the tale makes to her husband before throwing herself into the water to commit suicide.)

Murong Jingxuan knew that it wasn't easy for a girl like Qingyan to say something like this, thus when he heard these words, his mood greatly improved.

Perhaps the girl before him still has yet to fully open her heart to him, but he knew, this was her showing her trust in him.

And all he could do was to not betray this trust.

The two sat all the way until the latter half of the night. During the latter half of the night, Qingyan could no longer fight off the continued weariness, and fell asleep on Murong Jingxuan's shoulder. As for him, he did what he could to maintain his position so that she could sleep a bit more peacefully.

Regarding Weisheng Junmo, he'd also heard his spies mentioning.

After Qilian Qingyan's death, Weisheng Junmo left Nanchen. But his exact whereabouts, no one knew. However, he knew that half a year after Weisheng Junmo left, a ruthless organization appeared in Jianghu----The Eight Trigram Sect.

The Eight Trigram Sect specialized chivalrous acts in the other three kingdoms, but whenever they target Nanchen, they were always vicious and merciless. It was as if the people of this sect were specifically targeting Nanchen.

Some say that the one behind this organization is Weisheng Junmo.

Some also say that Weisheng Junmo was driven mad by love, lashing out against the Nanchen monarch in a mad rage.

But he knew, only through this kind of method, can Weisheng Junmo quell the hatred in his heart.

One was his beloved, one was his revered elder brother, choosing between two difficult choices.

In the end, the only thing he could do was to watch as his beloved maiden get sent into the Imperial Palace.
