Nāgata: Infernal Night, Qinghan and I are True Love

Chapter 103 The Sister-in-Law. Serving the Emperor.

After a long silence, Wei Qing finally spoke.

"Brother Shan, do you know what our future holds?"

Yue Shan was stunned; he hadn't expected Wei Qing to say that.

"future?"

Wei Qingqing took a sip of tea, recalling the future Xu Tianyi had described to her.

“I didn’t believe it before. It wasn’t until you conquered seventy-two cities that I understood. My brother-in-law is right.”

Yue Shan looked at him with some complicated feelings: "What did he say that made you change so quickly?"

He now felt that Wei Qing's words were all excuses for her changing her mind, and he felt a tightness in his chest.

Wei Qing also spoke calmly.

He said that the Crown Prince was about to emerge from Twilight Valley, under the banner of restoring order and launching a counterattack against Wuji.

And you will go to suppress the Crown Prince after quelling the rebellion of the King of Chu.

Afterwards, you will be impeached for poor performance in battle, and rumors will circulate in the court that the Yue family is colluding with the Crown Prince.

Subsequently, all members of your in-laws will be suspected by the King of Qi and imprisoned.

At this point, the King of Qi asked you to return and explain, but you instead sided with the Crown Prince.

Even with your help, the Crown Prince was unable to successfully breach the Imperial City.

So, in order to end the chaos, you personally went to Jukuzhou to seize the Immortal Mask.

"But we're on different sides. King Qi sent me to pursue you, but after we reached Jukuzhou, you abandoned me in the Illusory Realm for your own dreams."

Upon hearing this prediction, Yue Shan frowned deeply.

“Sister Qing! How could you believe such a lie? I am now guarding Leizhou for His Majesty and will soon be able to wipe out the King of Chu, while it is hard to say where the Crown Prince is right now.”

The people in Twilight Valley are nothing but a bunch of barbarians, lacking clothing and armor, and without any education, how can they accomplish anything?

I would never abandon you so easily.

Clearly, Yue Shan did not believe he would end up like that, nor did he believe in the so-called prediction.

Wei Qing shook his head.

"Your seventy-two cities have harmed too many noble families and wealthy merchants. The memorials impeaching you are flying everywhere in the court."

If it weren't for the need for you to attack the King of Chu, I'm afraid you would have already been taken back to the Imperial City for trial.

At the same time, you know what Xue Mantian thinks of you. I heard that you were young and arrogant, and that you did not respect him after making great contributions. Perhaps you also think he is a treacherous minister.

In short, he's petty and will never let you off the hook.

The Yue family was nothing more than a tool for those in power.

Once the Yue family loses its prestige and has no veteran generals, once the Yue family can be replaced.

Then the Yue family, who held considerable military power, were doomed.

You think it's great that you conquered Yongzhou and defeated the King of Chu.

But the king and his family will only be afraid because of this.

How can a murderous sword fall into the hands of another?

We weakened the Yue family for ten years, but we never expected that you, Yue Shan, would step forward, raise your arms, and raise tens of thousands of elite troops without needing any supplies.

The Huang family favors you greatly, showering you with money and gifts; the Shen family is incredibly attentive to you, offering you money, provisions, weapons, and even their eldest daughter.

Tell me, do you think my father will tolerate your in-laws?

Yue Shan was greatly shocked. His body began to tremble.

The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

The deeper he thought about it, the more confused he became.

"But...but what did my in-laws do wrong..."

Wei Qing glanced at him indifferently, her heart filled with mixed feelings.

"I don't know, these are all things Xu Tianyi said."

If you want to find your own path and a path for your in-laws, then go and ask him.

Now I want to clarify our relationship.

Hearing her say that, Yue Shan calmed down a lot.

At this moment, he was no longer so preoccupied with romantic feelings, and immediately said, "Qingmei, go ahead and tell me, I'm listening."

Wei Qing gave him one last confident look before speaking.

"When I was young, I hoped that my future husband would be a great hero who could share my father's burdens."

But people always change. Now that I've joined the Imperial Guard, all I want to do is be a fair and impartial law enforcement officer.

Xu Tianyi is absolutely right.

Beyond simply surviving, the rest of the purpose of life is to live better and happier.

I had a really good time during those two months in the eleven counties of Northwest China.

I can do what I like every day, and as long as I have evidence, I can arrest whoever I want to arrest.

When I get home, I can see my caring older sister and my gentle and kind brother-in-law.

Everyone I meet when I go out is full of gratitude and respect for me.

I admit it, my feelings have changed.

He gave me everything I wanted.

Every day I spend with him is fulfilling and joyful.

I know I can't escape our relationship.

I hadn't made up my mind before, but I did tonight.

My sister doesn't seem to care about my closeness with him, and he doesn't refuse to be with me either.

They accepted me.

Do you get me?"

Yue Shan fell silent.

After a long while, Yue Shan smiled.

"Qingmei, I wish you happiness. But what about your identity? What do you plan to do about it?"

Upon hearing Yue Shan's question, Wei Qing fell silent.

"Given the prevailing circumstances, I am merely a guard in charge of the Golden Guard."

The one who truly determines the future is you, Xu Tianyi, the Crown Prince, and also the Prince of Qi.

Xu Tianyi told me.

Four years, just four years, and he will rebuild the world.

Even if the King of Qi is defeated, he will not kill him.

I resign from my post as the Imperial Guard and will never again serve so-called high-ranking officials and nobles.

I will dedicate all my knowledge to compiling a comprehensive legal text that encompasses the entire world!

With a few tears in his eyes, but also a great deal of relief, Yue Shan slowly raised his glass:

"Qingmei, then I wish you every success in advance."

Wei chuckled, then raised his glass and said, "Brother Shan, I also wish you find your own path soon."

After finishing his cup of tea, Yue Shan got up, no longer lingering, and pushed open the door to leave.

Wei Qing stepped forward and took a deep look at his back.

Then he closed the door.

Turning her back, a tear rolled down her cheek.

Looking up, Wei Qing saw Xu Tianyi staring at him from the hall. He seemed to be venting his frustration as he said, "Are you satisfied now?"

Xu Tianyi and the others naturally heard their conversation.

He walked over slowly.

"Cheer up. Everyone has a white moonlight in their heart. Maybe he is very good and charming, but when you see him again after a few years, you will find that the white moonlight will always exist in your memory."

He is not the person I remember, even though he is a good person.

Alright, my dear sister-in-law, since you've chosen me, I'll allow you to serve me in bed tonight.

"You think beautiful!"

Wei Qing suddenly became enraged and slapped him with his palm.

Xu Tianyi reached out and grabbed her fair wrist.

"You can't beat me, haha..."

"Sister, help me!"

Gu Qinghan laughed: "You dare bully my sister? Take this!"

Xu Tianyi was unable to resist for a time.

"Yingying, please help me..."

Ji Yingying sighed helplessly; the King-Minister Gu was truly a terrible thing.

The four of them started playfully fighting.

Their relationship became increasingly harmonious.

As General Yue listened to the commotion inside, a sudden wave of loneliness washed over him.

But the next second, he saw three hundred personal guards standing on the street waiting for him.

Yue Shan suddenly laughed: "Brothers, tonight it's my treat, we won't leave until we're drunk!"

"Well done, General! You're truly magnanimous!"

"Did I hear that right? The stingy general is treating us to a meal?"

"Hey, this time I'm going to empty the general's purse!"

"Haha... finally, it's vacation time..."

Yue Shan laughed, realizing that he wasn't alone after all.
