Three years later.
Northern Qi. Yan City.
It was the middle of winter, and the snow was heavy. Even the number of people on the streets was twice as few as usual.
Jun Qingnuan was dressed in white with a fiery red cape. She followed a group of hungry customers into the Swallow Moon Restaurant and arrived at the fourth floor.
"Waiter, get me a pot of hot tea, a bowl of duck blood vermicelli soup, and a few pastries.”
She chose a seat by the window and sat down casually. She looked at the people at the next table, and all kinds of emotions surged in her heart.
Sitting next to them were three well-dressed young masters with outstanding temperaments. They were the only son of the Minister, Tang Zichun, the son of the Prime Minister, Su Yang, and the son of Prince Ning, Xuanyuan Mu.
It was hard to say how much these three families had to do with the Jun Family's extermination back then.
But what was certain was that the Prime Minister's Residence was definitely involved. After all, the current Northern Qi Empress was Su Yang's sister, Su Lanzhi.
The bloody case from three years ago flashed through her mind and Jun Qingnuan turned her attention to their conversation.
"I heard that the emperor is going to marry Princess Lanting to King Cheng. Is that true? Princess Lanting was only a few years old. She was not even past the age of 10, and King Cheng…should be past the age of 30?”The one who spoke was Tang Zichun.
Su Yang, the son of the Prime Minister's wife, snorted." So what? King Cheng's power was at its peak. As long as he could win him over, sacrificing a little princess was nothing! Besides, he's not the emperor's biological son.
Besides, who was King Cheng?
She could act as a peerless beauty even with a mask, and she had an army of 300,000. Princess Lanting probably couldn't wait to marry King Cheng!”
When Tang Zichun heard this, his tone suddenly became low." That's true…However, can a mere Princess Lanting cause a splash in King Cheng's residence?”
Tang Zichun's voice carried a hint of mockery." In the past three years, there have been many people who wanted to test King Cheng, but in the end, they still came up empty-handed. Don't try to steal a chicken and end up losing rice…"
" The Jun Family has left, and Murong Cheng has come…hehe…" Xuanyuan Mu, who had been silent all this while, suddenly sneered and said something vaguely. However, he was immediately interrupted by Su Yang," Don't spout nonsense. Don't you know that we can't talk about the Jun Family's matters?"”
When Jun Qingnuan heard this, she sneered silently.
The Jun Family's matter had become a taboo in Yan City. Ha, isn't it just treason? What's there to not mention?
Back then, the Jun Family had gone from being the most distinguished family in Northern Qi to the so-called betrayal of the country. Xuanyuan Yue probably wasn't the only one who had done it, right?
What role did the officials of Northern Qi play?
Jun Qingnuan's eyes narrowed as she heard the Crown Prince of Ning, Xuanyuan Mu, laugh and change the topic.
"Sigh, sigh, sigh. Last time when the emperor bestowed the marriage to King Cheng and Princess Lanting, King Cheng said that he had already married. The emperor asked him to bring his family back in half a month.
I'm very curious. What kind of woman is worthy of a man like King Cheng?
However, the Emperor was quite ruthless. Didn't he say that he was deeply in love with the Third Miss of the Jun Family? He didn't even hesitate to build Feng Fei Palace for her, making it known to the whole world…But who knew that Third Miss Jun would die so tragically in the end…"
Xuanyuan Mu's voice sank again, and there was a trace of sarcasm in it.
Xuanyuan Mu's words provoked Jun Qingnuan. The hand that she had just picked up the teacup unconsciously clenched. When she came back to her senses, the teacup had already cracked!
"Kacha!"
Seeing this, Su Yang's pupils constricted slightly. His gaze was fixed on her hand. His eyes were turbulent and probing.
Tang Zichun and Xuanyuan Mu turned their heads, and a hint of surprise flashed in their eyes.
The fifteen-year-old Jun Qingnuan was sitting by the window in a white robe. Her fiery cloak hung behind her, revealing her beautiful features. Her entire face was covered with a layer of coldness, and her long hair was tied up into a wild ponytail with a red ribbon. She had the aura of a Jianghu girl, and she was dazzling.
Her hand paused in mid-air. Her fingers were empty. The white jade teacup had already shattered into pieces and fell on the table.
The table was wet and steaming!
Tang Zichun's eyes flashed with surprise." Did this lady crush the teacup?”
" I see…I knew it. Even I can't easily crush a teacup…" Tang Zichun raised his eyebrows. He believed her.
Su Yang looked at her for a long time but could not figure out what was going on. He could not help but ask,"You look unfamiliar. You're not from Yan City?"”
"I came to look for my relatives. I just arrived." Jun Qingnuan didn't even bat an eyelid.
When Su Yang heard this, he did not know why he was persistent." I see. May I ask how I should address you? I'm very familiar with Yan City, so I can help you find it.”
"If it is convenient for you, please let me know.”Su Yang was stunned.
She narrowed her eyes and looked into Su Yang's eyes. She was serious and gentle." My name is Qingnuan.”
When Su Yang and the others heard this, their expressions changed drastically!
Jun Qingnuan had already expected their reaction and smiled innocently. Her eyes were cold and teasing," Is there a problem with my name being Murong Qingnuan?”
"No…no problem." Su Yang came back to his senses and quickly shook his head. He couldn't help but ask," Why did you choose this name? The word " Qingnuan " was taboo in Yan City. No one used this name anymore.”
"I'm not from Yan City. Moreover, when Jun Qingnuan died, I had already used this name for more than ten years.”
Jun Qingnuan heard this and snorted coldly. She didn't hide anything about the death of Third Miss Jun three years ago and said," Besides, my father gave me this name. Do you have any objections?"”
The corners of Jun Qingnuan's mouth curled up and she smiled." My father is King Cheng!”
“……！”
Even though they had already guessed the answer, Su Yang and the others were still shocked!
After he turned around, a cold light flashed in his eyes. He was determined and determined.
It's been three years, Yan City. I'm back. You should have changed!
……
An hour later.
In the study room of King Cheng's residence, someone was playing the zither. Jun Qingnuan was hidden at the door, and her aura was completely in sync with her surroundings.
The sound of the zither in the room was somber and stirring, like a cold wind passing through, sweeping through the sky with frost and snow. It was also like a golden horse, swallowing thousands of miles. In such a snowy day, it made people's hearts tremble, as if they were about to break through the red door in front of them.
Nan Mu, King Cheng's personal bodyguard, appeared at the door in a hurry. He had a strange expression on his face and his voice was strange. He shouted through the door," Your Highness, I have something to report."”
