The villain who defeated the son of destiny was my father

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Qu Qingyan sat quietly in the room, staring intently at the letter in his hand that had been sent by his father. His beautiful brows were slightly furrowed, as if a trace of worry was quietly lingering.

"What on earth is my father busy with? When will he be back?"

The secret guard next to him replied respectfully: "I don't know."

"Forget it, go down." Qu Qingyan sighed lightly. She knew in her heart that since her father had deliberately concealed the truth, no matter how she asked, it would be difficult to get an answer.

The secret guard received the order and retreated quietly.

Qu Qingyan slowly stood up, walked to the desk, and sat down gently. She stretched out her slender jade hand, picked up the brush, dipped it in ink, and then wrote on the rice paper. The three big characters "Sima Zheng" were written in a strong and powerful stroke.

According to the nature of the dog system, Qu Xinzhu's mission is obviously related to the men around her.

Today, I happened to take a quick glance at the Li Wang Mansion and saw Qu Xinzhu's side quest.

If that's the case, then she won't let it go smoothly.

As his thoughts flowed, the brush in his hand trembled slightly, and ink dripped and spread, gradually wetting the beautiful handwriting, as if blurring the unknown road.

Time flies like an arrow, and the days and months pass by like a white horse passing by. In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed quietly.

During this period of more than half a month, Qu Qingyan stayed at home and never stepped out of his room. He immersed himself in space and practiced hard every day.

As her cultivation level improved, her perception of the world she lived in became sharper and clearer. At the same time, she also had her own opinions on foreign things such as the system and the time-traveling girl.

Qu Qingyan left the space, walked to the dressing table, and sat down gently. Her eyes fell quietly on the figure in the mirror, and she saw that her temperament in the mirror became more and more cold and ethereal, like a fairy, which made her feel a little dazed and absent-minded for a moment.

Is this still the same person I used to be?

Looking closely, her facial features are still as delicate and beautiful as before, without any change, but her skin has become whiter and smoother, like fine jade. Especially her originally lively eyes, but now they are like a deep pool, calm and without ripples, and it is difficult to detect any emotional ups and downs from them.

"Miss, you're awake. I'll serve you meal right away." Lvliu walked into the room quietly. When she saw Qu Qingyan, she turned around and hurriedly went out to prepare meal.

Qu Qingyan waved his hand, "No need, I'm not hungry."

She knew in her heart that since she had embarked on the path of cultivating immortals, she would have to go through the state of fasting sooner or later. For her now, these ordinary meals were nothing more than a dispensable thing.

Lvliu looked surprised and opened her mouth slightly as if she wanted to say something.

Qu Qingyan asked softly, "My father hasn't returned yet?"

Green Willow shook her head slightly.

"Miss, there has been no news from the master in the past two days. Instead, Madam Qu and her adopted daughter have been waiting at the gate of the mansion, clamoring to see the master."

"No need to pay attention to them." Qu Qingyan called the secret guards and asked about the latest situation in detail.

Only then did they learn that Qu Xinzhu had disguised herself as a man today, quietly slipped out of Prince Li's Mansion, and ran straight to the residence of Jingzhao Yin, intending to make friends with him by using another identity.

"She is really impatient." Qu Qingyan curled his lips into a sarcastic sneer, then turned around and walked straight into the inner room.

Not long after, a handsome young man in a snow-white robe walked out of the house. He had a slender figure and outstanding temperament, like a banished immortal, which made people's eyes bright.

"Miss, are you going out?" Seeing this, Lvliu instantly understood her young lady's intention.

Qu Qingyan smiled and rubbed her head with his hand, saying gently: "I'm going out for a while, and I'll bring you some osmanthus cake when I come back."

"Miss, you are so nice." An innocent smile instantly appeared on Lvliu's face, but then she seemed to remember something and her expression became a little depressed. She muttered softly, "Lvliu is really useless. If I had powerful kung fu, I could protect the young lady."

Seeing her like this, Qu Qingyan's heart softened, and he comforted her softly, "When you have mastered your kung fu, I will take you out every day, okay?"

"Well, Lvliu must practice martial arts well." Lvliu is now much stronger than when she first arrived at the mansion. An ordinary strong man may not be her match.

But this is not enough, she needs to master advanced martial arts before she is qualified to stand by the young lady's side and protect her.

The master and servant chattered on for a long time, and then Qu Qingyan walked out.

As soon as he reached the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, as expected, he saw Wen Suhua who was waiting anxiously.

"Mr. Yan...Mr. Yan, is the Prime Minister in the mansion?" Wen Suhua's eyes suddenly lit up when she saw the young man walking out of the mansion, and she hurried to greet him, her tone full of eagerness and expectation.

The guards standing at the door were all transferred from the palace. They were like wooden lumps. No matter how she tried to persuade them, they all gritted their teeth and didn't utter a word. She wanted to find out where Qu Honglin was, which was harder than climbing to the sky.

And Yan Qing is one of the normal people who walked out of the Prime Minister's Mansion. She can only find a breakthrough from here.

Qu Qingyan looked at the woman who was lingering around like a ghost, and just glanced at her lightly. Then he walked away with big strides as if he had not seen her, without stopping at all.

Upon seeing this, Wen Suhua hurriedly chased after him, but she was frail and before she had gone far she was exhausted, panting and her steps were weak. She could not keep up any longer and had to give up and stood there gasping for breath.

"Ling Niang, I found out." Qu Wenshi walked over hurriedly with a cane, panting as she spoke, "I just found out from Prince Li that the unfilial son is out on business. Let's go back and stop wasting time here."

"No, mother, it's been so long, maybe Linlang will be back. I have to wait here, so that I can see him the first time he comes back." Wen Suhua stared at the vermilion gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion with infatuated eyes, her eyes full of stubbornness and expectation.

"Lingniang, you..." Qu Wen sighed heavily and felt that her daughter was hopeless.

The mother and daughter stood outside the Prime Minister's Mansion and waited for a long time, until the midday sun set overhead and they were hungry, then they prepared to leave.

"Ling Niang, we don't have much silver left. When we go to Prince Li's Mansion later, we can only ask Zhu'er for money." When Qu Wen said this, she felt ashamed.

Wen Suhua was dissatisfied and said, "Mother, Zhu'er's life is not easy either. How can we ask her to open her mouth? Wouldn't this make King Li see us clearly?"

"If there was a way, I would never be able to lose face like this." Qu Wenshi couldn't help getting angry again when she thought about how all the money she had accumulated over the years had been robbed.

Wen Suhua didn't dare to say anything, for fear of angering her old mother.

The two of them left the palace tiredly.
