Warm medicine emits fragrance

Yan Qi's enthronement ceremony was scheduled for the Dragon Boat Festival a month later, and the ceremony for bestowing titles and rewards upon the rebel army was also held on that day.

During this period, Yan Qi and Yan Qiu were both very busy preparing for the coronation ceremony. Li Chenbi and Qi Weiming were also very busy, clearing away the hidden dangers left by the previous dynasty for Yan Qi.

Li Chenbi devised the plan, while Qi Weiming led the troops to arrest people; the two cooperated seamlessly.

Fan Liuer was quite surprised by this. These two always argued when they met, but they were very reliable when they worked together.

Perhaps these two are the perfect example of sworn enemies.

Because of their collaboration, Qi Weiming frequently visited the Prince's Mansion.

Qi Weiming's attentiveness to Fan Liuer was obvious, even Chuixue couldn't hide it, so it was impossible to hide it from the shrewd Li Chenshu.

She noticed Qi Weiming's identity the first time he visited the Prince's Mansion.

Fan Liuer thought she would dislike Qi Weiming like Li Chenbi, but she watched the show with great interest.

"This General Qi is quite interesting."

These words immediately drew Fubuki's attention.

Li Chenshu covered her mouth and poked Chuixue's head, "Little girl, I'm used to a good life, I don't like poor people."

Fubuki was relieved.

Fan Liuer and Li Chenshu's relationship is getting closer and closer, and she is becoming bolder in speaking to her.

This piqued Fan Liuer's curiosity, and she privately asked her, "Sister, why did you fall for Yanqiu?"

Li Chenshu raised her hand, examining her newly painted nails, and casually said, "Qin Yuru's husband previously defected to General Yan and passed on many secret messages to him. In exchange, General Yan will retain his family's title after he ascends the throne."

As she spoke, she looked at Fan Liuer and said, "The old count has passed away. When her husband inherits the title, she will become the countess, while I will become a widow. How can I bear this?"

Fan Liuer never expected it would still be because of Qin Yuru.

"Then why don't you come back to Xingzhou with us? What's the point of fighting all this time? It's exhausting."

Li Chenshu smiled and said, "You don't understand. It's the most interesting thing to see someone you hate looking down on you but having no choice but to submit to you."

"Life is only a few decades long, so of course we have to find some fun for ourselves, otherwise life would be too boring."

Fan Liuer felt that these words were very familiar; Li Chenbi seemed to have said something similar.

No wonder they're family; they think alike.

Fan Liuer couldn't understand what the siblings were thinking; just listening to their scheming and intrigue made her feel exhausted.

But she also knew she couldn't persuade Li Chenshu, so she never tried again.

Yan Qiu would also make time to come over, as he was now completely infatuated with Li Chenshu. Every time he saw Li Chenshu, he was so captivated that he could only see her.

The way she was addressed changed from Sister Shen Shu to Shen Shu.

"Tsk tsk tsk..." Fubuki shook her head inwardly, "He doesn't even call me 'sister' anymore, it seems the Second Young Master isn't planning to hide his intentions."

Fan Liuer didn't intend to interfere in their affairs anymore; she couldn't control them anyway.

What she's more worried about now is how she and Li Chenbi will leave Kyoto safely.

Lately, Li Chenbi has been leaving early and returning late every day, always coming back with a murderous aura. Without asking, it's obvious that he's been doing things that Yan Qi can't do himself.

She felt sorry for him and couldn't help but complain quietly, "That General Yan is really a cunning old fox. He makes you and Qi Weiming do all these immoral things."

Li Chenbi glanced at her, "Why are you concerned about Qi Weiming?"

Fan Liuer retorted irritably, "What time is it? Still getting jealous over these old things? What are your plans? When are we leaving? Is it even possible to leave now?"

Li Chenbi pulled her into his arms. "What are you worrying about? I want to leave even sooner than you do, so that Qi Weiming won't keep hanging around you all the time."

Fan Liuer glared at him.

Li Chenbi kissed her and coaxed her softly, "I've already made arrangements. It will take no more than ten days, and we'll be able to leave before the coronation ceremony."

Fan Liuer did want to leave as soon as possible, but she didn't expect it to be this early.

"Before the coronation ceremony? General Yan, do you think you can let me go?"

Li Chenbi slipped his hand under her clothes and pinched her soft flesh. "Of course he won't release her, but I've already made preparations. Just wait patiently, and I'll let you know when everything is arranged."

Fan Liuer had long guessed that it wouldn't be easy for the two of them to leave Kyoto, and Li Chenbi's words confirmed her suspicions.

She couldn't help but start complaining about Yan Qi again, "You've done so much for him, how come he doesn't remember any of our past kindness?"

Li Chenbi felt the coolness in his arms and the softness in his hands, and comfortably pressed his body against it. "Emperors have always been suspicious. He knows very well how he got the throne, so he naturally thinks that everyone is like him."

As he finished speaking, a passionate kiss landed on Fan Liuer's neck, the intense heat from Li Chenbi spreading across her skin and descending downwards.

Fan Liuer suddenly remembered something, pushed Li Chenbi away, and sat up abruptly from the bed.

Li Chenbi, who was infatuated with her, was stunned by her sudden movement. He fell onto the bed and looked up at Fan Liuer.

"What's wrong?"

Fan Liuer looked at Li Chenbi, her expression turning serious.

"I suddenly remembered a dream I had before, the night you got injured."

"What dream?" Li Chenbi was also curious, wondering what kind of dream could have caused Fan Liuer to react so strongly.

He sat up and sat opposite Fan Liuer.

"I dreamt of the coronation hall, where General Yan sat on the dragon throne. Many familiar faces in the court were granted official positions, including Qi Weiming."

Li Chenbi nodded slightly. "And then?"

Fan Liuer looked at him, "But, without you."

Li Chenbi laughed, leaned closer, and said, "Then this dream is quite accurate. We're going to leave before the coronation ceremony, so naturally I won't be there."

Fan Liuer swallowed hard, her voice becoming hoarse as she recalled the rest of the dream.

"If this dream is accurate, then what happens afterward, will it also be accurate?"

She panicked a little, leaned close to Li Chenbi's ear, and whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "In my last dream, the person sitting on the dragon throne was not Yan Qi, nor Yan Qiu, but a child, and you were sitting behind the dragon throne."

After listening, Li Chenbi was slightly taken aback, then smiled.

"Could it be that this father and son were both short-lived, leaving behind a sole heir who then passed that heir on to me?"

Fan Liuer opened her eyes wide and reached out to cover his mouth, "He's about to be the emperor, how dare you talk nonsense like that?"

Li Chenbi removed Fan Liuer's hand and pressed down on her again, "I thought it was some kind of dream. This is not a good thing. The sooner that old fox dies, the better, so he won't suspect me all the time."
