My Demonic Cult's Holy Maiden

Qi Yu put the food away and hung up the bed curtains and canopy before helping Su Yue up.

Compared to Su Yue's pale face this morning, she is much better now, and her face has regained some color.

Qi Yu helped Su Yue sit up against the pillows and picked up the lean meat porridge, preparing to feed her.

However, Su Yue said that she could eat it herself and did not need Qi Yu to feed her.

Qi Yu didn't mind. After handing the bowl to Su Yue, he smiled and looked at her.

Su Yue ate the lean meat porridge in small bites, and after a while, she rolled her eyelids up and looked at Qi Yu.

"Why are you looking at me like that, my husband?"

Qi Yu smiled slightly and said sincerely, "You're beautiful!"

Su Yue blushed slightly, feeling a little shy, but she managed to calm herself down.

"It's obviously fake. Do you think I don't know how ordinary-looking I am? The truly beautiful one is Princess Liyang!"

Princess Liyang was Li Yulan, and Liyang was her title.

Upon hearing Li Yulan's name, Qi Yu's mind flashed back to Li Yulan's arrogant demeanor, and he rolled his eyes.

She has typical princess syndrome. Although she is indeed a princess, her temper is unbearable.

And isn't it pretty?

It's probably pretty good-looking!

But what does this have to do with me?

"Li Yulan is beautiful, but in my heart, my wife is the most beautiful person in the world."

"I know I'm being a bit perfunctory, but that's really how I feel. I don't know why, but when I look at you, my wife, I can't help but feel my heart flutter."

"This feeling doesn't stem from your appearance, because to be honest, my wife, your appearance is indeed quite ordinary."

"But maybe it's precisely because of this ordinariness that I'm so infatuated with you!"

Chapter Forty-One: Returning to the Capital

“But maybe it’s precisely because of this ordinariness that I’m so infatuated with you!” Qi Yu said.

Su Yue stared at Qi Yu without saying a word for a long while before she came to her senses and asked, "If I become an ugly monster, will you divorce me?"

Qi Yu looked at Su Yue, then pinched the tip of Su Yue's nose and laughed, "If you really become an ugly monster, then I will become even uglier than you, so ugly that only you, after becoming ugly, will want my ugliest, ugliest of ugly monsters."

Su Yue bit her lower lip, her eyes welling up with tears that quickly filled her vision.

"Why are you so good to me? I might not be as good as you think, my husband!" Su Yue sobbed.

As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes and slid down her cheeks, leaving a tear stain.

Qi Yu raised his hand to wipe away the tears and tear stains on Su Yue's face, and smiled, "We've been married since childhood, and our love is unwavering!"

The reason is that simple: it is a husband's duty to treat his wife well; there is no other reason needed.

"Husband, I'm sorry, I was too willful, I won't do it again!" Su Yue sobbed for a moment, then composed herself and said.

Qi Yu was slightly taken aback. Willful? Isn't being willful a right unique to girls?

it's common!

Why apologize?

Su Yue apologized because of the assassination attempt on Li Ming.

No matter how you look at it now, this assassination was extremely reckless.

As a saintess, it's one thing to disobey the leader's orders, but if she really kills Li Ming...

Then Qi Yu's situation will become very difficult.

Qi Yu still needs Li Ming's protection.

If he reveals his identity, Qi Yu will be very safe; basically, no one will dare to openly attack him.

But is that really what Qi Yu wants?

After learning the truth, will Qi Yu still cherish himself as much as he does now?

Su Yue was unsure, so she didn't dare tell Qi Yu the truth.

After much thought, Su Yue finally came to an answer.

She is just an ordinary person who knows some martial arts, not some saint.

She was merely Qi Yu's wife!

All she needs to do is trust Qi Yu and protect him when necessary.

Qi Yu wanted to spread his wings and fly high, to realize his grand ambitions, and he would accompany her. No matter what the future held, he only needed to do what a wife should do.

If one day Qi Yu grows weary of fighting, then I will live in seclusion with Qi Yu, working at sunrise and resting at sunset, just like this year.

……

"My lord, His Highness the Crown Prince must have something to discuss with you. You should go! I can manage on my own!" Su Yue said to Qi Yu after finishing her lean meat porridge.

Qi Yu blinked and said, "Li Ming has so many talented people on his side, he won't miss me. I'll just stay home and keep my wife company."

Su Yue looked at Qi Yu and smiled, "Go ahead, and bring me some chestnut pastries from the city while you're at it."

Qi Yu thought for a moment, nodded, and smiled, "Alright, my wife, you rest well. I'll be right back!"

Su Yue nodded and watched Qi Yu leave.

I hadn't realized it before, but now that I think about it, it seems that I had bound Qi Yu, preventing him from spreading his wings and soaring high.

Because of himself, Qi Yu was content with the status quo and lived a life of peace and tranquility.

While this is indeed a happy situation, is this what Qi Yu wants?

She hadn't thought about Qi Yu before, because she was immersed in the ocean of happiness that Qi Yu gave her.

She thought that if she was happy, Qi Yu must be happy too.

However, it's not too late to discover this now. Qi Yu is a man, and his goal should be the world.

It's ridiculous that they're always clinging to me like that!

With my husband's talent and learning, he is definitely capable of accomplishing great things and would be more than capable of dealing with the Chang family.

……

As soon as Qi Yu left the courtyard, a carriage came to pick him up.

The driver was a burly man dressed in black, and his eyes clearly showed he was no good.

"Young Master Qi, please!"

The burly man placed the cart landings, then gestured for Qi Yu to proceed.

Qi Yu glanced at the big man and climbed into the carriage using the bench.

"Where is Young Master Qi going?" the burly man asked.

"Go see His Highness the Crown Prince!" Qi Yu said.

The big man said nothing more and drove the carriage toward Jiangzhou City.

After a bumpy half-hour journey, we finally arrived at the Li residence where the Crown Prince lived.

Li Ming has been staying at Li Chun's residence for the past few days.

After being informed by a servant, Qi Yu was led to the study.

Li Ming is writing something, and he looks very focused.

Qi Yu didn't disturb him. He picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup of tea first.

After a while, Li Ming put down his pen, folded a document, opened the door, and handed the document to Li Minghai.

"What happened?" Qi Yu asked, holding his teacup.

What Li Ming was writing just now was probably a memorial to the emperor.

"My father, the Emperor, is unwell and has ordered me to return to the capital immediately!" Li Ming said, frowning.

Qi Yu glanced at Li Ming, then fell into deep thought.

At this time, the old emperor fell ill and wanted the crown prince to return to the capital.

The meaning is quite obvious!

The point is to have Li Ming act as my representative in handling state affairs!

This is a big deal!

Li Ming's purpose in coming to Jiangzhou City was to invite Li Chun to come out of seclusion, and it seems that he has achieved his goal.

Having reviewed so many files, Qi Yu understood how much strength Li Ming had accumulated over the years.

Although they are not weak, they are still not strong enough to overthrow the powerful families led by the Chang family of Linghai.

"Your Highness, when will you depart for the capital?" Qi Yu asked.

Li Ming didn't hesitate and blurted it out.

"tomorrow!"

Qi Yu stroked his chin, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Alright! Your Highness, you should return to the capital first to stabilize the court. I will go to the capital with my cousin in October."

"Your cousin? Su Cheng?" Li Ming asked.

Qi Yu nodded and said, "I'm going to the capital with my cousin. No one should suspect anything. Besides, with my cousin covering for me, it'll be safer."

Li Ming nodded and said, "Alright, I'll go back to the capital first. Li Minghai is my personal bodyguard; I'll leave him here to protect you!"

Qi Yu was taken aback for a moment, then hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No need, he's your personal bodyguard, it's not appropriate for him to protect me."

Li Ming said, "We need to rush back to the capital tomorrow. The journey is long and tiring, and Yu Lan definitely won't be able to handle it, so she will stay in Jiangzhou City for a few more days."

"I kept Li Minghai here to protect you, and also to protect Yu Lan."

Li Yulan!
