CHAPTER 1417: CHAPTER 1501: IF LIFE COULD START OVER

Yixuan relaxed and couldn’t help but laugh, "Hearing you say that, it does seem so. But if you talk about the most resemblance, it should be his eyes, which look very much like those of Second and Third Brother, and they are the most striking. His demeanor is also reminiscent of how Second Brother used to be."

"Indeed." Dong Huiying sighed deeply, "When I saw his appearance just now, I felt a bit sorry for him. It reminded me of when Shu Yu would fall ill from time to time."

Yixuan rubbed her head, "I suppose it won’t be long before Second Brother comes over too."

"The reunion is near."

The two walked farther away; Qinghe was skilled in martial arts, and the guards around him were by no means mediocre. The couple’s conversation fell into the ears of these people, and a loyal guard’s eyes turned red, "Young Master, you..."

Qinghe weakly waved his hand, "Let’s return to the palace and talk there."

This time he came to the Lian family’s shop intending to secretly make contact with them and also to test whether the Lian family could be included in his camp. The alliance between the Eighth Princess and the Lian family wasn’t very strong.

Returning secretly to the palace, within his own chambers, his confidant helped Qinghe lie down.

The guard recalled the words of that girl in the purple dress from before, "Young Master, do you really have..." little time left?

He had always thought that what the young master took regularly was medicine; little did he know that it was poison instead.

Qinghe lazily waved his hand, "It’s not that exaggerated, I still have a few more years to live." His eyes showed a trace of irony, recalling how he pretended to enter the palace, the Eighth Princess was indeed infatuated with him, but also did not trust him. Thus, she obtained this Mind-Bewitching Gu from a Gu Girl.

Mind-Bewitching Gu.

A pair of child and parent.

The child Gu was on him, and the parent Gu was on the Eighth Princess. Only from that time did the Eighth Princess truly trust him. After all, this Mind-Bewitching Gu, also known as Death Gu, was rumored to have been used in the past to control some Death Soldiers to ensure their unwavering loyalty. Since he was infected with this Gu, the Eighth Princess believed that with the control of the Gu Insect, even if his original affection was feigned, it would turn into true love under the influence of the Gu Insect, and he would be loyal to her. In this way, he became the person the Eighth Princess trusted the most, without exception.

However, what the Eighth Princess didn’t know was that he had already taken precautions. Over the years, with thorough investigations and encounters with some extraordinary people and things, although the Mind-Bewitching Gu harmed his body, it never successfully controlled his mind. At most...

Baowei...

His heart ached again, but it was bearable; he had long grown accustomed to this slight pain. Yet like some form of self-torture, each time he thought about it, his heart would ache, each pain reminding him never to forget how much he sacrificed and never to forget why he made such sacrifices.

"I’m tired, let me sleep for a while."

Qinghe closed his eyes, his throat filling with bitterness.

Baobao, not knowing whether you are alive or dead, but if you have long since perished, if you have a spirit in heaven and see how I have ended up, would you ridicule or feel sorry?

I was wrong, terribly wrong.

If life could be lived over again, if I could do it over, how great that would be...

A storm is brewing in the capital, the current Prime Minister and the Eighth Princess are estranged, she was originally a remnant of the former dynasty, her lineage having been in hiding for hundreds of years, scheming tirelessly, how could she willingly let her aspirations slip away.

At present, with constant warfare at the borders, the current Prime Minister is also one with determination. She made a decision and secretly sent a letter to the front lines.

Though Prince Meng had many spies here, she herself was not incompetent. As soon as the current Prime Minister sent out the letter, Prince Meng immediately contacted Dong Huiying, bringing Dong Huiying and others secretly into the palace.
