Sparse shadows lay diagonally across. The shadows of the trees outside the courtyard swayed in the night wind. The cold moonlight shone through the tree branches onto the ground, pulsing mottled.

Silver spots of light playfully danced along with the night wind and the swaying branches. Helian Manqiu stood by the window, quietly contemplating while facing the refreshing night wind.

The words that Teng Huayun said made her have to think deeply. The situation in the imperial government was extremely chaotic and complicated, so how could she establish herself here as soon as possible and win the absolute trust of Gan Jun.

Faced with the emperor's attention, the empress's invitation, the crown prince's ridiculous nonsense, King Chen's thoughts, King Lu's viciousness, was King Lu and King Chen the most important people to her? Did he teleport here?

The old fellow in the throne room was sinister and scheming, causing her to feel endless coldness from the bottom of her heart.

That bastard, the Crown Prince, had a bad reputation. He acted inappropriately, acted arrogantly and overbearingly. He stole beauties and young men, forcing people to be so lustful and wanton.

King Lu's sinister bearing was narrow, ruthless, and merciless. His petty stomach was like a poisonous snake that was hibernating in the dark underbrush of the night. No matter what, Helian Manqiu could not think of any similarities between such a Law King and Mo Bai.

There was only one face that was too similar.

She had only known him a few times, and they had never gotten to know each other well. That prince who always wore a warm smile on his face like jade was not someone to be trifled with.

After all, she didn't know much about the other princes and princes.

Just these few people alone were enough to give her a splitting headache.

Raising her head, she quietly gazed at the night sky. She shouldn't be able to go back, right?

Back then, Mo Bai had blocked the bullet for her, so she should have been lying together with Mo Bai, sharing life and death with him, right?

Unexpectedly, in the end, she still held Mo Bai's hand, lying together with that man.

But could that His Highness the Law King be Mo Bai?

Was King Chen her brother again?

If there were some people in that world that were the most important to her, they would have all come here after their deaths. What was the reason behind coming to this strange Great Hengkong?

Then, would her father have also teleported here?

If father had also transmigrated here, when would he appear?

His gaze swept across the courtyard and fell in the direction of the room that used to be Helian Shan's. Now that the room was being used by Gan Yu Xuan, he didn't know if the man had already fallen asleep or not.

He really wanted to go over and talk to Gan Yuxuan about the emperor and empress, the crown prince and several princes, as well as the ministers of the imperial court. And Helian Qingyu, the real Helian Qingyu arrangement.

He smiled faintly. He must be very tired. He had been running all the way back to the Military Region with her in his arms. He never had a good rest. Tonight, she should not have disturbed him and allowed him to rest for the night. However, he didn't know if her initiative in staying together day and night would make him think that she only had him in her heart.

Did he think she was in love with him?

If a woman of this era was like Gan Yuxuan, who had seen her innocent daughter's body, personally touched her, bandaged her wounds, and slept in the same bed for several nights while Gan Zhixuan rode in the same embrace, then there should be no other choice, right?

Suddenly, a curious thought arose in Helian Manqiu's mind. For a man like Xuan, how many beauties and concubines were there in the mansion?

She was just curious, so she didn't mind. It would be strange if the marquis general's manor didn't have any women serving it.

When he turned around, he was lying on the bed wearing a plain white undergarment. For some reason, he felt that he was missing something.

Closing her eyes, she couldn't fall asleep despite the cool evening breeze blowing through the windows. This night was so lonely without that person by her side, without the clear scent of the forest, the arms and the embrace of the man in the distance.

Ye Ci smiled wryly. She couldn't have gotten used to sleeping by Gan Yuxuan's side, right?

Could it be that without that man, he wouldn't be able to sleep?

Was he asleep?

This thought caused Helian Manqiu to be shocked. She couldn't help but sit up from her bed. Why would she think about whether or not Gouyu was asleep?

Did she have any feelings for that man?

How is this possible?

She lay down once more, closed her eyes and tossed and turned about, unable to fall asleep even after a long time. She thought that it was definitely because she had slept too much in Gan Jianxuan's embrace during the day.

He stood up, put on his slippers, and walked out of his room, not even wearing a single outer robe. As he strolled through the courtyard, he unconsciously headed outside.

It was as if she had never taken a good look at this garrison and this home that belonged to her.

When they were in the military region, they had been too busy and had to pretend to be injured so that they couldn't walk. Thus, they had not toured the garrison and had seen what this house looked like.

The garrison had been refurbished and refurbished, and it was exuding a brand-new aura. Fresh paint and freshly planted trees and flowers, new roofs and painted walls, everything seemed new.

She remembered that when she left, it was still very dilapidated and decadent here.

Now, this place had returned to its original appearance.

"Young General, why haven't you rested so late at night?"

The janissary stepped forward and bowed as he asked this question. He looked at the young general with admiration and reverence.

"Thank you for your hard work. I can't sleep. When did you repair this place?"

"After the young general left, the lord sent people to clean up the place. Since the young general isn't in the military state, the lord was worried that the eldest young miss isn't safe here, so he sent people to discuss with General Chen and the others before taking the eldest young lady to Shengjing Manor to temporarily settle down."

"So it was my lord that has troubled us."

"Yes."

Helian Manqiu strode over to the courtyard of the Jia Yue Sect and stood silently not far away from the courtyard. She looked at the man's room, which had originally belonged to Helian Shan.

All the news from the capital had not been able to escape the eyes and ears of Gan Zhixuan. Even the words of the imperial edict and the unread imperial edict were clearly known by him. To prepare for a rainy day, after she sent out her troops, Gan Yuxuan ordered someone to take Helian Qingyu away from the Army State and towards Shengjing.

At that time, Chen Yu Yang and the others were very busy with military matters, so they didn't have time to worry about Helian Qingyu. They were also worried that there would be an assassin or someone else who would harm Helian Qingyu.

When they wanted to take Helian Qingyu away, they gave it much thought. In the end, they did not dare to go against the orders of Gan Qianyu, and they were also worried that Helian Qingyu would be in danger while they were in the Army Region. They sent a capable man to follow Helian Qingyu and send Helian Qing to Shengjing.

Helian Manqiu's lips curved up in a heartless smile.

If he was willing to allow Xuan Chang to be obedient, then why did he spend so much effort to investigate the news of the capital, and even send a spy to the Forbidden Palace?

The imperial edict should have been made public, but the imperial edict was extremely secretive. Until now, it had not been announced that the Empress should have been deep within the palace, but she did not know how she would have been informed.

To what extent had he set up eyes and spies in the capital?

Why did he need to pay so much attention to the news and the situation in the capital? Even the Emperor and Queen had to pay attention to their every move?

His steps paused outside the courtyard door of Gan's courtyard. He gazed at the window that was still lit. What was that man doing, not sleeping at night?

"Uncle, it's so late at night and you haven't rested yet. Are you here to pay your respects to the Lord?"

Gan Yuxuan's hidden guard respectfully bowed and asked. Seeing his uncle come out wearing only a set of inner robes, the corner of his mouth couldn't help but twitch a few times.

His clothes were like the moonlight, and exuded the chilliness of ice and snow. His expressionless handsome face carried the faint chilliness of distant mountains and snowy peaks, surpassing even the moonlight at this moment. He did not dare to look directly at it, feeling ashamed of his inferiority.

"Why is it so late at night? Has my lord not rested yet?"

"Yes, is Uncle going in?"

Helian Man smiled. Since she was still awake, he could not say that she was disturbing him. She then walked into the room.

"Creak …"

With a soft sound, the door to Gan Xuan's room was pushed open from the inside. A man in black appeared faintly at the door like a ghost.

"Qingyu, come in."

A deep and melodious voice rang out from within the room. Helian Manqiu strode into the room. Her gaze swept across the room and the door closed behind her. The black shadow disappeared into the shadows of the corner of the light.

Xiao Yan turned his gaze toward the black figure. The black figure stood in the shadows with its head lowered and eyes lowered. There was not the least bit of aura coming from it.

"Why aren't you resting in the middle of the night?"

She did not pay her respects and directly walked to Gan Jianxuan's side and sat on the side of his bed, smiling as she looked at him.

"Since you know it's late at night and you're not resting in your room, what are you doing here?"

"My lord, my lord, my lord, I suddenly find that I cannot sleep without my lord by my side. What should I do?"

Gan Yuxuan raised his eyes to glance sideways at Helian Manqiu. This girl really had no sense of shame. She could even say such words. Furthermore, she said them with such grandeur and righteousness.

"Demon Saber, come over and greet the Lord Count. This is Helian Qingyu, the person you've been wanting to meet."

His entire body was wrapped in a black robe. On his back was a long blade, but no aura was revealed. Helian Manqiu felt that the blade was extremely cold and indifferent to the extreme, as if it did not exist.

When the Demon Saber stood in the shadows, although one could clearly see its existence, one would instantly ignore it and think that this person never existed.

"So it's the Lord's hidden guard commander, Demon Blade. I've heard of it for a long time."

"I dare not say that uncle-master is being so presumptuous. I pay my respects to uncle-master, and have long heard of uncle-master's beautiful name. I long to see it, but only today will I have the opportunity to pay my respects to uncle-master, and unworthy saber will kowtow to uncle-master."

The Demon Saber lifted up his clothes and knelt down on one knee. Helian Manqiu quickly moved to prop up the Demon Saber's arm. She did not let the Demon Saber kneel down.

"Brother Demon Saber is the leader of the Lord's Hidden Guard. There is no need for you to be so courteous. I have never been someone with any etiquette."
