Clouds and Moon Shadow

Chapter 448 Third Brother, I saw Prince Li go to Yue'er's room.

The next moment, Gu Qingyue stood on tiptoe and couldn't help but kiss the corner of the man's lips.

"I'm fine, I just miss you."

Gu Qingyue raised an eyebrow, lowered her voice, and spoke softly.

Almost every time Mu Yun Chu saw him, she would ask him this question. She was a little dazed, but also a little cute.

This makes her want to tease him.

Her smiling eyes met his surprised gaze, and sparks flew.

Just as she was about to leave, her lips were fiercely kissed by the man, their breaths mingling and burning passionately.

It was as if only in this way could two people who missed each other be able to completely extinguish the longing of these days, as well as the impulsive, helpless, and heart-wrenching feelings deep in their hearts, and rekindle them.

Gu Qingyue showed no restraint. Feeling the incredible heat of the large hand on her waist, she also reached out and hugged Mu Yun Chu's waist tightly.

The atmosphere in the room was as sweet as fine wine in May, fragrant and alluring.

In the next room, Gu Yuanming and Gu Yuanen looked at each other speechlessly.

"Third Brother, I saw Prince Li go to Yue'er's room."

Gu Yuanming raised his teacup. "Have some."

Gu Yuanen was speechless. "Why don't you hurry up and knock on the door to let him out?"

"Then go ahead," Gu Yuanming said, amused, looking at Gu Yuanen who was about to jump up and down.

"I...I won't go," not because I'm afraid of King Li, but because I'm afraid my younger sister will blame me.

“They haven’t seen each other in a long time, they should have a little chat,” Gu Yuanming said without any worry.

He knew what kind of person the Prince Li was. He loved Yue'er even more than his older brother did, and he would never let her suffer any injustice or bully her.

Besides, my younger sister is no pushover either.

It was more like his younger sister was bullying him. Thinking of this, he smiled and continued drinking his tea.

"You... are you really that carefree? That Prince Li doesn't look like a good person at all. What if he bullies Yue'er?" Gu Yuanen said in a low voice.

He still remembered the time he had Zhang Qingxuan press his pressure points during the palace banquet.

I still feel indignant when I think about it now.

"No, they are engaged, and besides, she is now known as Young Master Ye, so no one will gossip."

Gu Yuanen's lips twitched.

Although they are currently staying at the official inn in Yunguan County, away from the outside world, there are still quite a few people from Yue Zhiqi and the Nanzhao delegation.

Who knows which eye is watching Little Sister and King Li!

Next room.

Gu Qingyue and Mu Yunchu sat facing each other.

"Let's get down to business. What are your plans for this trip to the capital of Nanzhao?" Gu Qingyue looked at Mu Yunchu's spring-like face, sat up straight, and had a serious expression on her face.

Mu Yun Chu couldn't help but chuckle softly, "Is A Yue really angry?"

He just let go of her, and she lost her balance and has been angry ever since. Haha, she's so adorable.

"It was my fault, I apologize to A-Yue."

Mu Yun Chu grasped Gu Qing Yue's delicate fingers, squeezed them, and her smile remained unchanged.

"We shouldn't have let go of A-Yue when she couldn't stand steadily."

Gu Qingyue's phoenix eyes sparkled as she stared at Mu Yun Chu's smug little expression, and she couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Forget it, I won't bother arguing with this awful man.

I was a little embarrassed just now. It was just that my legs went weak from being kissed. I'll hold on next time and overcome it!

"Alright, I'm asking you something serious!" Gu Qingyue suppressed her smile and asked again.

Judging from the situation on the road, it's clear that Nanzhao is also in a state of turmoil. How dangerous the capital is and what kind of trouble it might encounter remains to be seen.

We need to prepare in advance.

“A few days ago, the royal decree of the King of Nanzhao arrived at the delegation, saying that the marriage ceremony for Princess Chaoyue of Great Chu would be held the day after she arrived in the capital. All the necessary items for the princess to enter the palace have been prepared, and we are just waiting for Princess Chaoyue.”

Mu Yun Chu turned the teacup over and poured tea for the two of them, lowering her voice.

"So soon?" Gu Qingyue asked curiously. They were only five days away from the capital. Were they getting married right away?

"Yes, it must be because the time for the Heavenly Sacrifice is approaching and they're in a hurry."

Mu Yun Chu didn't really care when the marriage ceremony would be held. As long as Princess Chao Yue could successfully enter the First Prince's residence and the marriage ceremony was completed, his mission would be accomplished.

Besides, delays could easily lead to unforeseen changes, so this arrangement is better.

Gu Qingyue nodded, guessing that was the reason.

The successful marriage of Princess Chaoyue to the eldest prince of Nanzhao can be considered the completion of the marriage alliance and peace negotiations between the two countries.

It would be great if Nanzhao and Dachu could maintain a lasting peace.

Even if it's temporary.

The people can no longer endure such war.

However, thinking of the chaotic state of the Great Chu court over the past six months, and the rumors that several vassal kings were secretly recruiting soldiers and horses in their respective territories, ready to make a move, Gu Qingyue's heart was still very uneasy.

I wonder how long this temporary peace can last?

Hopefully, no major internal strife will occur. If internal strife does break out, it would be easy for Nanzhao to tear up the agreement and launch another attack on Da Chu.

Moreover, there was the Western Jin Dynasty eyeing them covetously in the northwest.

"By the way, Yue, you said you encountered a black butterfly today?" Mu Yun Chu suddenly remembered what Gu Qing Yue had mentioned on the way today.

Gu Qingyue raised an eyebrow. "Yes, it was in Sanchun City, that night..."

After Gu Qingyue finished speaking, Mu Yun Chu clenched her fist and narrowed her eyes, "I once heard my master say that there is a kind of black butterfly that is specially raised by the Wizard's Hall. It is also a kind of Gu, called the Witch Butterfly, which can cast spells..."

Upon hearing this, Gu Qingyue was startled!

"You mean, someone wants to cast a spell on me and my fourth brother?" Gu Qingyue leaned closer to Mu Yun Chu, lowered her voice, and became solemn.

Mu Yun Chu nodded uncertainly, then shook her head.

He had only heard his master mention it, but he was too young at the time to pay much attention to it, since he had never seen a black butterfly before.

“But I don’t feel anything is wrong right now, and there’s also Fourth Brother—” Gu Qingyue said, standing up.

After a pause, she ran to the next room.

Before long, Gu Yuanming and Gu Yuanen were found by Gu Qingyue.

Gu Qingyue looked Gu Yuanen up and down carefully, squinting as she pondered.

Gu Yuanen stared blankly at the little girl opposite him, feeling a little uneasy.

His younger sister's strange actions, in particular, made his scalp tingle. He cleared his throat and said, "Moon, I didn't do anything."

Gu Qingyue nodded and asked him to sit down.

Gu Yuanen looked at Gu Qingyue, then at Gu Yuanming and Mu Yunchu, his eyes filled with even more horror.

The younger sister kept looking at her own face.

Third Brother's gaze was one of curiosity, but Li Wang Mu Yun Chu's gaze felt like it could poke a hole in him. Was it really that scary?!

"What's wrong? What happened?" Gu Yuanen asked, forcing himself to speak.

Gu Qingyue didn't speak, but raised her hand to feel his pulse again.

After a short while, "Fourth Brother, do you sense anything is wrong?"
