Qin Zhaoyue had no money and could not move forward for the time being.

Doctor Wu Ye looked very smart and his extraordinary identity was apparent as soon as they met. Qin Zhaoyue did not dare to entrust him with the liaison mission, nor did he mention asking Wu Ye to cure the poison for him.

He is still in doubt.

But as time went by, his suspicions had become weaker and weaker. All he had to do was send someone to Guicheng to find out whether any doctor named Wu had met with misfortune in recent years. Then the truth would be revealed.

Qin Zhaoyue took advantage of the brother and sister's absence to go out and get some information. Xiaoluo Village was isolated from the outside world, but the people were simple and innocent, so Qin Zhaoyue got the information he wanted without much effort.

Wu Ye and his sister came to Xiaoluo Village more than ten months ago. They were said to be panicked and sad, exhausted, and their accents were different from the locals. Wu Ye saved the youngest son of the village chief who had fainted from suffocation, so he was accepted by the villagers and a place was allocated for them to live.

The two built a house on the wasteland near Xiaoluo River and asked nearby villagers to help them build it. However, they were short of money and did not pay much money. They just waived the villagers' medical fees and collected some cheap medicinal materials from them, which they sold to the town's medicine shop after processing.

In this way, they settled down in Xiaoluo Village.

At that time, Qin Zhaoyue was floating down the river. Several villagers and Wu Yue saw him. After he was rescued to the shore, it was Wu Yue who directed everyone to provide emergency rescue, which saved Qin Zhaoyue's life.

It's seamless, without any flaws.

Qin Zhaoyue's vigilance faded.

If Lu Tianyun and Yu Hu were still here...

Qin Zhaoyue closed his eyes. He sat on the riverbank. In the distance, a few small fish were stranded on the beach, and colorful arcs of light were dancing under the setting sun.

It's true that he is a power-grabber, but he is not without emotion.

Although these two subordinates seemed to be just his guards, he actually treated them as friends.

Now thinking back to our times in the Eastern Palace, I feel so suffocated and have no where to vent.

Qin Zhaoning...don't let him get hold of anything.

The black-clad man who appeared in the wild forest that night had agile and strange swordsmanship and many moves, but there was a sense of unfamiliarity and sluggishness, and the occasional display of righteous martial arts could not be faked.

It has the style of...the imperial guards.

The second prince, Qin Zhaole, was uneducated and unskillful, his mother's family was hopeless, and he himself had long been rejected by his father. He was a man without ambition. There was no need for him to assassinate himself, and he had no men to command.

The fourth and fifth princes had already joined the third prince, so no matter who did it, it was instructed by the third prince.

The sixth and seventh brothers are still young. Even if their mother's family has some plans, they should not take action against their brothers at this time, as this will easily expose their ambitions early.

Only the third one.

Qin Zhaoyue's chest heaved as he tried hard to suppress the depression in his chest.

Since Qin Zhaoning had already learned of his movements and took direct action, the existence of the Gu family's child must have been known to the third brother.

If he were found earlier and brought back to the capital, Qin Zhaoyue would have to bear the crime of leaving the capital without permission alone.

And if Qin Zhaoning had not found the child, he would still be accompanying the Queen Mother to worship Buddha, and the well-behaved Third Prince who was under house arrest could not be easily accused of secretly killing the Crown Prince.

It’s really... it’s a sure win.

On the other hand, Qin Zhaoyue himself had lost his right-hand man for nothing, and Qin Zhaoning had figured out his intentions clearly. He also left the capital privately and his whereabouts were unknown. I think Qin Zhaoning had reported this news to the Queen Mother, and now everyone in the court and the public knew about it.

How could it have come to this?

Qin Zhaoyue and Qin Zhaoning had been arguing for many years and Qin Zhaoyue had never been at a disadvantage, but this time he stumbled and suffered such a huge setback.

How could this be?

Fortunately, due to his previous calculations, Qin Zhaoning's status in his father's heart had already plummeted, otherwise there would be no chance of recovery.

"Master Qingyue?" Wu Yue's voice came from behind.

Qin Zhaoyue turned around and saw a village girl in coarse linen clothes standing in the sunset, her face slightly sweaty, with some eggs in the straw basket slung over her arm.

"...Miss Wu Yue." Qin Zhaoyue nodded.

"What's wrong? I see that you seem... not very happy." Wu Yue walked to Qin Zhaoyue, and they sat side by side on the riverbank, more than a foot apart.

Qin Zhaoyue looked at the girl who was looking at him with her head tilted.

At a tender age, he had a pair of black, pure eyes that seemed to be slightly sad. But if you looked closely, you could only see the luster of the sunset and his own reflection.

"Nothing." Qin Zhaoyue had restrained all expressions.

"My brother said that if you have depression in your chest, you should express it properly, otherwise it will damage your liver and be bad for your health." Wu Yue didn't look at him, picked up a stone and threw it into the river.

"By the way, that's where you fell that day, there's a big rock. Did you see it?" Wu Yue said with a smile.

Qin Zhaoyue looked at the river beach there. The water was flowing gently, without any trace.

"...I have a brother, and he and I have never gotten along well since we were young." Qin Zhaoyue said.

"Then I don't understand. My brother and I have always had a good relationship." Wu Yue held up her face.

"He always tries his best to get what I want," Qin Zhaoyue said.

"Is it something you like very much?" Wu Yue asked.

"It's something I must get." Qin Zhaoyue said lightly. Like? Who would like it, and who wouldn't like it?

"Then you can just snatch it away. If you get it, how can he do anything to you?" Wu Yue said, "Or is it because his act of snatching it from you makes you sad?"

"I'm not sad. We don't have much brotherly love." Qin Zhaoyue shook his head, "It's just that he hurt someone very important to me because of this."

"Then why don't you beat him up? You are the older brother, and you must have a reason to teach your younger brother a lesson." Wu Yue said with a smile.

"...That's a good idea." Qin Zhaoyue smiled. He thought so too.

"I will ask him to personally apologize to those he hurt."

……

The night shift lasted until midnight, and finally it was curfew time. The streets disappeared in an instant, leaving only the twinkling lights of each household.

Gu Yue closed the door to the backyard of the restaurant, fetched a bucket of hot water and went into the house to take a shower and wash off the mixed smell of food on his body.

After changing clothes and returning to the cabin, Gu Yue sorted out his manuscripts and prepared to go to bed.

Lying on the bed, Gu Yue closed his eyes, missing the days when he would stay up late every night holding his phone to read online articles.

He couldn't help but do the math in his head.

When he first signed the contract, he didn't think the money from the manuscript was too much, but now compared with his original private property, it is really a huge sum of money.

It would probably only take three or four years for him to buy a three-story house in Sushui County. But now was not the present world, so there was no need to rush to buy a house. It would depend on what Gu Xu would do in the future.

Gu Yue was alert.

He was used to working alone, and in just a few days, he was almost accustomed to the working life in Sushui County, and he almost forgot about the fields and yard of Gujia Village.

There is no way. He has never had the concept of home since he was a child. Apart from the compound, there is no other place where he can live for a long time and feel at ease.

And what about Gu Xu? Did he just abandon the child in Liuli Town and ignore him?

Gu Yue already had a plan in mind.
