No one from the Yun family stopped him, and they led him to Yun Xiyue's residence.
"Young Master Qi."
Qi Yuyan, draped in a fox fur cloak and adorned with a silver hair ornament, stood before her, his feet treading on the first frost of autumn.
His handsome face was dark and brooding, his eyes filled with anger, but he suppressed it when he saw her turn around and smile at him. "Why did you do this?"
“We are conducting a normal business transaction. I told you from the beginning that the person in the palace is picky; she is your cousin.”
A hint of a smile flickered in Qi Yuyan's eyes, "If you want my help, you can just say so, I won't refuse. But why should the entire Qi family be sacrificed?"
"Who exactly is trying to make whom pay with their life? It's the Pei family and the Qi family who joined forces to make me pay with my life!" Yun Xiyue drew her bow and fired an arrow at the target behind him.
He didn't move.
The arrow whizzed past his ear and hit the bullseye.
"Don't tell me you don't know."
Qi Yuyan was stunned, not understanding why she had come in such a fit of anger.
Is she unwilling to accept using herself like this?
But she wasn't wrong either.
“Young Master Qi, you said we were friends, but now it seems we have no way of being friends at all.”
Qi Yuyan quickly said, "No... don't misunderstand. I think we can still be friends and do business together."
"I'm afraid you don't have the final say." Yun Xiyue smiled faintly. "Your father is not in good health and is not in business. It is your mother who has supported the Qi family. She raised you and should not have let you ruin the Qi family."
The Qi family was always just a pawn in the Empress Dowager's hands.
He was his mother's puppet.
"You cannot defy your mother."
Qi Yuyan's face instantly turned extremely pale. "I will become myself and become the true master of the Qi family."
Looking at his pale face, Yun Xiyue hesitated to continue, "Since we're here, how about we go archery together? A good archer is essential for hunting."
Qi Yuyan smiled wryly, "You still have things on your mind about archery?"
"Aren't you in a bad mood?"
Yunxiyue handed him a bow and arrow.
"I'm sorry about this, but there's nothing I can do. I know that the Empress Dowager and the Pei family won't really harm your Qi family, so don't worry too much."
"Consider it a lesson learned!"
Qi Yuyan gripped the bow and arrow and fired one.
She didn't understand why he had come to question her.
How did it turn out that she saw through everything and comforted me instead?
"I don't want the Qi family to go down a path of no return."
Yun Xiyue smiled and asked, "So, what do you want to do?"
"Wait for me for three months."
He put down his bow and arrows and left.
"It seems that Young Master Qi was punished after returning home."
Yun Xiyue frowned, but didn't seem to care much.
She didn't want to fight with the Qi family and end up benefiting others.
The two regents were miraculously cured of the poison the next day, and no one mentioned the incident again.
She escaped unharmed, but the Empress Dowager and Prime Minister Pei grew increasingly resentful of her.
"Young Miss, it's a letter from the Emperor."
Murong Yu had already reached the border and sent her a letter confirming his safety.
The war has begun.
After reading it, Yun Xiyue replied with a letter.
She mentioned some military strategies she had seen in the medical classics given to her by her master.
She didn't know if it would be useful, but she wrote it down, sealed it, and had it sent over.
"Yun Xiyue, come out here!"
