Just at this moment, there was a knock on the door of the guest room on the second floor.

A Bao was full of doubts and opened the door himself.

It turned out to be Liang Qingyu.

A Bao slowly remembered that today should have been a good day to see Liang Qingyu off the boat.

On the day of arriving at the Chuyue territory, Zhang Lanheng delivered a secret letter.

It was a thick stack of books full of evil spirits and monsters, a vivid exposé of the officialdom in the Jiangnan river system.

A Bao was shocked and suddenly became angry.

He immediately wrote back, ordering Zhang Lanheng to eliminate those corrupt officials at all costs.

So in recent days, the argument of "a new emperor appoints new ministers" that was heard in the official circles of the Jiangnan River has reached the imperial capital and landed in the ears of the old emperor.

Even the news from Xie Wuai mentioned that the officials in the Jiangnan River area had secretly contacted the Baxia faction in the imperial capital who supported the royal heir in Li Jiafei's womb.

At this point, Liang Qingyu took office without delay.

But this sudden and heavy rainstorm stopped Liang Qingyu.

The journey from the Dafulou ship to the Jiangnan Governor's Mansion on a red boat would probably take some time.

At this moment, the Dafulou ship was floating in the turbulent waves.

Liang Qingyu held onto the door frame and asked curiously, "It's rumored outside that the princess picked up a young man."

Hearing this, A Bao said helplessly, "Sure enough. It's all spreading like crazy outside, right?"

She has always been known for her lustful and romantic manners, and she brought back a mysterious young man overnight.

Such a crimson color would inevitably cause discussion among the naval soldiers.

But Liang Qingyu smiled at her and comforted her: "The princess I know is not the kind of person who is tempted by beauty and is fickle."

As he spoke, Liang Qingyu looked behind A Bao and saw Xuanyuan Fengran, who had a stern look on his face.

She was not stupid. She had witnessed with her own eyes how close the princess and the emperor's uncle were during Chu Yue's trip.

Hearing this, Abao, who had gained the trust of his friend, immediately relaxed.

She chuckled and said self-deprecatingly: "Does this count as robbing a man?"

"Of course it counts as rumored." Liang Qingyu joked with a smile.

Ah Bao was amused and moved aside to open the door. He led Liang Qingyu to the bed and introduced him, "Actually, you also know this mysterious young man."

Before he finished speaking, Liang Qingyu saw Meng Guanjing lying on the bed and was immediately stunned.

Seeing this, Abao understood even more clearly.

Liang Qingyu was surprised and asked: "Brother Meng?!"

But then he changed his words and said, "No, he is Master Shi."

"But why did Master Shi become... like this?" Scarier than a ghost.

A Bao probed, "He is Meng Guanjing."

Liang Qingyu couldn't believe it: "Impossible! He clearly denied it!"

Upon hearing this, A Bao remembered the encounter that she had personally asked Hong Xiu to arrange.

The chance encounter allowed Liang Qingyu to meet Shi Zejing again.

But at the same time, Ling Shi Zejing pushed Liang Qingyu away.

To the extent that Liang Qingyu firmly believed that she had mistaken her childhood playmate.

The most puzzling case is Meng Guanjing, who is suffering from a strange disease.

Until his eyes fell on Liang Qingyu's right wrist, where she was wearing a red bead necklace.

Suddenly, he realized.

"So you are Liang Qingyu."

Hearing this, Liang Qingyu stared at the young man lying on the bed, unable to move like a disabled person, with his face covered with mottled red earthworms.

After a while, she asked doubtfully, "What do you mean?"

"What I mean is that the person he loves looks like this." Meng Guanjing said hoarsely.

Hearing this, A Bao became suspicious: He? Who is he?

Could he be——Shi Zejing?

Thinking of this, she looked at Meng Guanjing who was still struggling with the pain on the bed.

Whatever his name, this young man is truly pitiful.

After a long silence, Liang Qingyu smiled bitterly: "Is it Shi Zejing? Or Meng Guanjing? Between you... who is who?"

Meng Guanjing frowned and said in a hoarse voice, "I shouldn't be the one telling you this."

Liang Qingyu suddenly smiled bitterly, "Then who should tell me in person?"

After hearing this, A Bao became more certain of his guess.

She subconsciously raised her eyes, wanting to tell her guess to her uncle, but she was shocked to find that Xuanyuan Fengran beside her was silent, his black eyes were just like the turbulent black sea tonight, watching this scene between Meng Guanjing and Liang Qingyu.

What is the emperor's uncle thinking about?

Suddenly, a bell rang from the Ink Bone Tower.

It was low and solemn, almost covering up the sound of torrential rain and thunder.

"Your Highness! Pirates are attacking!!"

The roar came first, and then Yu Luo pushed the door open and rushed in, anxious and furious.
