After being thoroughly violated, he ran away with the enemy emperor's child.

Three years ago, the entire nation of Moyang surrendered and became a vassal state of Yong. The regent then sent people there, but after half a month, they still could not find the site of the Moyang Kingdom.

It wasn't until later, by a twist of fate, that a sandstorm swept in and a group of soldiers were unexpectedly caught up in it, allowing the Yong Kingdom to finally see the true face of the Moyang Kingdom.

The Kingdom of Moyang is vast and sparsely populated, with generations living deep in the desert, and very few people have left.

According to historical records, the Grand Preceptor of Yong Kingdom was the first person to leave Moyang Kingdom.

After him, the Grand Preceptor of Zhao also pledged allegiance to Zhao, and from then on, the two served their respective countries.

At first, Chu Junci did not notice that the national advisors of both countries came from the desert. It was not until he later suffered amnesia that he learned of this secret in Zhao.

Several days ago, when the Kingdom of Moyang reappeared before him, Chu Junci already harbored doubts.

But what the Holy Son did today has made him truly doubt this kingdom.

"Moyang Kingdom".

Chu Junci murmured, suddenly having a guess—

Could the person who poisoned Mo Yan be... the Grand Preceptor of Zhao Kingdom?

Or perhaps they are people from the Moyang Kingdom.

If he wasn't mistaken, then what the Moyang Kingdom was after... was the entire world.

With a slight tremor in his pupils, Chu Junci abruptly stood up, his heart pounding faster than ever.

According to the original plan of Moyang Kingdom, the Grand Preceptor of Zhao Kingdom used Consort Mei to poison Mo Yan, with the intention of inducing Mo Yan to go to war with Yong Kingdom. After all, it is well known that Xue Lian was taken back to Yong Kingdom by the Regent of Yong Kingdom.

Mo Yan, suffering from severe poisoning, will surely ask Yong Kingdom for snow lotus to cure the poison, but snow lotus is also an indispensable life-saving medicine for Chu Junci.

The two sides will continue to fight, and under the influence of the snow lotus, war will inevitably break out between the two countries.

However, too many unexpected events occurred along the way, and the Moyang Kingdom could only adjust its plans according to these events. To this day, they have sent out their Holy Son.

The more Chu Junci thought about it, the more likely it seemed. He frowned slightly, but there was no concrete evidence.

But in any case, he had to tell Mo Yan about this speculation, as it concerned both countries, and Chu Junci could not keep it from him.

Thinking of this, he immediately sent a message to Chu Li. Before long, Chu Li appeared with Yuan Jin. "Brother, what happened?"

"A-Li".

Chu Junci's expression was serious. "I have something I need you to do."

Chu Junci rarely spoke to him in such a serious tone. Under the influence of this atmosphere, Chu Li nervously licked his lips: "Brother, just say it."

"Leave the palace immediately and deliver this letter to Mo Yan."

"Have Ah Jin follow you, and be careful," Chu Junci added.

"Yes, brother, don't worry, I will give the letter to Mo Yan."

No time to tease Mo Yan anymore, Chu Li took the letter and left with Yuan Jin, soon arriving at the back door of the post station.

Zhao soldiers were guarding the courtyard. Chu Li looked around carefully and whispered, "Ah Jin, how are we going to get in?"

The reason his brother sent him and Ah Jin to deliver the letter was that he didn't want others to know, and Chu Li couldn't betray his trust.

"Don't worry, A-Li, let me take a look first."

Yuan Jin comforted him, his gaze sweeping over the defenses in the courtyard, unaware that on the rooftop, Mo Yan was watching them with his arms crossed.

"All of you, get out."

The sudden sound startled Chu Li. He looked up and met Mo Yan's gaze.

"..."

Chu Li's heart raced, and she gripped Yuan Jin's clothes tightly as she watched Mo Yan jump off the roof and walk towards them step by step.

The guards who had been standing watch in the courtyard had already left, and Mo Yan approached them: "What did Aci send you here for?"

Chu Li and Yuan Jin would never have approached him without a reason, especially not at this time. Their presence here could only be due to orders from A Ci.

"My brother asked me to give this to you."

Chu Li handed the letter to Mo Yan, observing his expression. "Aren't you going to open it and take a look?"

Mo Yan lifted his eyelids and glanced at him: "Besides the letter, does Aci have anything else for you to give me?"

"no."

"All right."

His tone was somewhat disappointed. Mo Yan nodded, and his expression suddenly tightened after opening the letter.

After quickly reading the letter, Mo Yan put it away and said, "Tell Aci that I understand."

"I will cooperate with him."

"…oh."

Chu Li responded and left the post station with Yuan Jin.

Back in the palace, he relayed Mo Yan's words and asked, "Brother, what exactly happened?"

"It's nothing, just something to confirm."

Chu Junci didn't want to say more, so he stepped forward and ruffled Chu Li's hair: "Stay in the palace for a while, and don't run around."

"Have Ah Jin watch over you at all times, so I don't have to worry."

"All right."

Chu Li was a little sullen, but he knew that his brother was doing it for his own good. "Don't worry, brother, I will take good care of myself. Do whatever you want to do, brother. I will always support you."

"it is good."

Patting Chu Li on the shoulder, Chu Junci instructed Yuan Jin, "A Jin, protect A Li."

"Your Majesty, rest assured, I will protect A-Li with my life. Anyone who wants to harm A-Li will have to step over my dead body first!"

Yuan Jin didn't take it seriously, but Chu Li's eyes widened: "Pah, pah, pah, what did you say?"

"Don't say such unlucky things next time!"

"I'm sorry, A-Li, I won't say it again next time." Yuan Jin scratched his head and immediately admitted his mistake.

"That's more like it. I don't need you to protect me with your life!"

"But I'd give my life to protect you, A-Li."

"You still dare to say that?! I'm really angry!"

"Don't be angry, A-Li. It was my fault."

The two suddenly had a "dispute," and Chu Junci said helplessly, "Alright, you two better take good care of yourselves and don't make me worry."

"Brother, don't be angry. Ah Jin and I won't talk about it anymore."

Chu Li smiled and gently patted Chu Junci's shoulder: "It's so late, are you tired, brother?"

"I'm not tired, you guys can go back now."

"oh."

Leaving Qianhe Palace again, Chu Li headed towards his residence in the palace. As he walked, he asked curiously, "Ah Jin, what did you think my brother and Mo Yan talked about?"

"I don't know either," Yuan Jin shook his head.

"Ugh."

Chu Li sighed, "My brother doesn't want to tell us these things, maybe because we can't help. It's better if we don't know anything at all."

"Don't overthink it, Ah Li. His Majesty must be thinking of us, that's why he didn't tell us."

"Uh-huh."

Chu Li's emotions came and went quickly, and he immediately stopped thinking about it and started talking to Yuan Jin about other things.

While they were talking, at the post station outside the palace, Mo Yan received a letter.

The letter was sent from Zhao Kingdom, carried by carrier pigeon to Yongdu, and then delivered by a spy lurking in Yongdu: "Your Majesty, this is a letter sent from the Zhao Kingdom's palace four days ago."

"Bring it here."

"Yes."

The spy handed the letter to Mo Yan and listened quietly to the instructions. After a while, he heard Mo Yan say, "Prepare a horse for me. I want to leave the city at dawn."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The spy went down, and Mo Yan pressed the letter onto the table.

Without uttering a word, he rose and gazed in the direction of the palace. After a while, he picked up a brush and wrote a letter.

After blowing the ink to dry, Mo Yan sat at the desk until dawn before moving his stiff body.

Stepping out of the courtyard, he mounted his horse and had someone deliver the letter to the palace. He then rode away and soon disappeared from the spot.

The letter was delivered to the Qianhe Palace after the King of Chu left the court, and was held by Bai Yang: "Your Majesty, this is a letter from His Majesty of Zhao Kingdom."

"Let it go."

"Yes." After putting the letter down, Bai Yang turned and left.

Inside the hall, Chu Junci unfolded the letter and read ten lines at a glance.

I love Aci, and I hope you find this letter helpful.

Today should have been the day Aci gave me her reply, but something happened in Zhao Kingdom. That good-for-nothing Mo Chengyu was assassinated and seriously injured, and the Left Prime Minister Feng Wenhan was also seriously injured and unconscious. Now Zhao Kingdom is leaderless and the people are in a state of panic.

Furthermore, a rebellious faction plotted to seize the palace, overthrow the regime, and install a new emperor. All of this forced me to return to Zhao.

After I have dealt with the affairs of Zhao Kingdom, I will return to Yong. At that time, I hope to receive a satisfactory answer from Wu Ai.

Mo Yan only loves Aci.

"..."

After reading the letter, Chu Junci pursed his lips and put it in the drawer.

He didn't say anything, and continued to handle official business as usual, as if nothing had happened.

A quarter of an hour later, the contents of the letter reached the Holy Son's ears: "Mo Yan is gone?"

"Yes."

A young eunuch poured him a cup of tea, revealing a small black mole on the web of his right hand: "The letter arrived at His Majesty just this morning after I left the city gate."

"Okay, you can go now."

The Holy Son swirled his teacup: "Be careful, don't let others discover our relationship."

"Yes, Your Majesty, rest assured."

Shortly after the eunuch left, the Holy Son finished his tea and then got up to go to the Qianhe Hall.

He wore only a light red outer robe, revealing his fair chest and abdomen, his hair was half-tied up, and a sachet and two small bells hung at his waist.

The bells jingled as they walked, making a continuous sound, but it wasn't harsh; rather, it sounded quite pleasant.

Barefoot, the Holy Son walked into the Qianhe Hall and lifted his eyelids slightly: "I request an audience with His Majesty."

The guard at the door glanced at him, then turned and reported, "Your Majesty, the Holy Son of the Moyang Kingdom requests an audience."

"Let him in."

"Yes."

Carrying Chu Junci's orders, the guard returned to the door: "Go in."

The Holy Son nodded and was about to speak after entering the Qianhe Hall when he suddenly heard another voice.

"So you are the Holy Son of the Moyang Kingdom? The Grand Preceptor's disciple?"

"..."

Looking in the direction of the source, he saw a young man with a hint of arrogance in his eyes.

Easily recognizing the boy's identity, the Holy Son replied, "Your Highness, I am the Holy Son of the Mo Yang Kingdom, and also the disciple of the Imperial Preceptor."

"oh."

Chu Li's gaze swept over the Holy Son, and he suddenly asked in surprise, "Why are you dressed like that? Aren't you cold?"

"Aren't you wearing shoes? The ground is so dirty..."

"..."

His smile froze for a moment, then the Holy Son chuckled: "My master once taught me that only in this way can one perceive the heavens and earth, and converse with them?"

"Can you perceive the world without wearing shoes?"

Chu Li muttered, "Then I'll try it later."

"Alright, A-Li."

Interrupting Chu Li's mutterings, Chu Junci asked, "What brings the Holy Son to this audience?"

Finally getting down to business, the Holy Son bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I consulted the oracle last night and obtained a divination concerning the Kingdom of Yong."

"You can also do divination?"

"Yes, although I have not known my master for long, I have learned his divination skills."

"Then tell me what you divined."

"Yes."

As they spoke, the Holy Son stepped forward, and the fragrance of the sachet wafted into Chu Junci's nose. He frowned, his gaze sliding towards the Holy Son's waist.

Below, the Holy Son continued, "Last night, I divined that a heavy rain would fall in seven days, and the rain would continue for seven days. As a result, the moat outside the city would break, causing great suffering to the people and heavy losses to the Yong Kingdom."

Upon hearing this, Chu Li exclaimed in surprise, "What?!"

"There's a dam and a flood discharge weir upstream of the moat, so it's unlikely to breach easily. How confident are you in your assessment?"

"very."

The Holy Son's face was full of confidence: "I am not boasting, but my talent surpasses that of my master. Since the day I learned divination, my divinations have never been wrong."

"I know Your Majesty does not trust me, but Your Majesty might as well have someone reinforce the dam and repair the flood discharge weir in advance, just in case."

"Accurate." Although he didn't know if the divination he had heard was accurate, the consequences of the breach were too severe, so Chu Junci had to agree.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After discussing the moat, the Holy Son took his leave. Watching his departing figure, Chu Li blinked and asked, "Brother, do you think what he said is true?"

"I don't know either, but it's always good to be prepared."

"Too."

Chu Li pouted, leaned over the table and played with the inkstone, then suddenly looked up and said, "Brother, I just remembered something."

"What is it?"

"My father told me that the reason why the Imperial Advisor was able to gain the trust of my father and the Emperor was entirely because he correctly predicted several divinations."

"My father told me about the earthquake in Xuancheng. Thanks to the Imperial Advisor's warning, my father and father were able to evacuate the people in time, which is why no one was injured or killed."

"This holy son is the Grand Preceptor's disciple, so he must be quite powerful, right?"

Chu Junci also vaguely remembered what Chu Li was talking about. Back then, his father and father valued the Imperial Advisor highly, and Chu Junci had asked him why.

At that time, his father mysteriously told him, "The Imperial Advisor is no ordinary person; he knows many things about the future."

future……

Could it be that the Imperial Advisor, like him, had seen his "future self"?

The situation became increasingly confusing, and Chu Junci pressed his temples, feeling a terrible headache.

"Brother, don't overthink it. Your health is important."

Seeing him frown, Chu Li quickly comforted him, "Even if it's for... reasons, brother shouldn't be too worried."

"I know, I just..."

Before he could finish speaking, Chu Junci felt it again...

His eyelashes drooped slightly, and he said helplessly, "Don't you want me to overthink things?"

"..."

No one is destined to answer.

He sighed. "A-Li, have your father and father told you about the Imperial Advisor?"

"I said some things, but I've forgotten them all..."

Chu Li scratched his head. "My brother knows I have a bad memory."

"It's alright."

The two didn't speak again after that. Chu Li sat opposite him, keeping him company, and picked up a calligraphy brush in his right hand to write and draw.

At the same time, not far outside the city, Mo Yan, sitting on his horse, was stopped by a group of people.

They held crossbows, arrows pointed in his direction: "Mo Yan."

The leader, wearing a silver mask, spoke with a mocking voice: "I never imagined His Majesty of Zhao would leave the city alone, without even an attendant."

"Should I call you bold, or foolish?"

He smiled and drew his bow: "But none of that matters anymore. What matters is that today is your death day."
