Chapter 165: The Uncatchable Imperial Convict

This stinky man, is he going crazy again?

Lin Qingyue heard Yang Jun's inner voice, wearing a look of dissatisfaction.

This man is truly hateful.

Thinking of how he repeatedly rejected me and caused so many troubles, I feel very dissatisfied inside.

Such problems, if one wants to solve them, are not that easy.

One could even say that it will bring many, many troubles.

Now, it's getting interesting.

Lin Qingyue thought to herself, unconsciously looking toward Yang Jun.

She wore a smug look, scanning the surroundings.

Everyone looked at her, waiting for her words to decide the matter at hand.

The scene was extremely tense; one could hear a pin drop.

Lin Qingyue stepped forward, yet showed a puzzled expression.

"What imperial convict?"

Lin Qingyue's single sentence left everyone stunned.

Especially the perpetually tense Leng Qingyue and Yun Xiyue—this matter now seems to have changed.

Zhou Tian was even more surprised—this is his senior sister, Lin Qingyue; how could she not know Mo Qingyan?

"Mo Qingyan is the imperial court's convict!"

Zhou Tian hurriedly spoke, saying it repeatedly.

He also worried that he had only been focusing on talking with Yang Jun, failing to explain things clearly.

"Mo Qingyan?"

"Yes."

"Imperial court's convict?"

"Yes."

"Mo Qingyan?"

"Yes."

"Imperial court's convict?"

"Lin Qingyue, what are you doing?"

Zhou Tian realized that Lin Qingyue actually had no intention of telling him the matter.

Thus, he widened his eyes, disbelievingly gazing at Lin Qingyue.

Now, are all the women around me betraying me?

"General Zhou, are you still going to frame Prince Yang?"

Lin Qingyue smiled slightly; in that sentence, Zhou Tian was dumbfounded.

What does this mean?

The undercover agent has become someone else's person.

It was supposed to be a stab at Yang Jun at the crucial moment.

But now, it seems that stab has instead been turned onto oneself.

Thinking of this, Zhou Tian's face showed shock, quite unexpected.

He stared intently at Lin Qingyue, then glanced at Yang Jun.

The matter is confirmed; indeed, Lin Qingyue has also betrayed.

At least for now, such things are completely beyond remedy; there's no way to pursue another direction.

"Lin Qingyue, have you thought it through? Which side are you really on?"

Zhou Tian snorted coldly, questioning Lin Qingyue.

"General Zhou, what do you mean by this?"

"I am the Princess of Zhu Prefecture; your words now—are they a threat?"

"Besides, you're randomly pulling connections—this is inappropriate; I belong to the Prince's Mansion!"

Lin Qingyue raised her voice, responding loudly.

Regarding this matter, she thus gave a response to these things.

At least on this point, those things are unnecessary to explain further.

"You're from the Prince's Mansion? Then what about me? What are we to each other?"

Zhou Tian grew even more flustered, repeatedly questioning.

He no longer concealed his relationship with her sect.

"We are acquainted."

Lin Qingyue snorted coldly, responding calmly.

【What does this mean? Now this matter has changed again?】

Yang Jun thought about these things involuntarily, his gaze turning to Lin Qingyue.

This woman actually stood on my side all of a sudden?

I was ready to take a big risk, to act, yet it was resolved just like this?

【What does this woman want to do?】

【Is she after me? Or after the Prince's Mansion's money?】

【Well, probably both.】

Yang Jun felt very certain in his heart, while Lin Qingyue's face was about to distort.

This bastard, what is he thinking?

However, I actually haven't taken a liking to any of them!

Actually, when Zhou Tian appeared holding the imperial edict to arrest people, she had already made her decision.

Although she had some ideological differences with Mo Qingyan and Leng Qingyue, such contradictions were not enough to make her become a traitor to the Sect.

Furthermore, Yang Jun still had some common interests with her in certain matters.

Zhou Tian's current actions constitute a betrayal of Mo Qingyan.

Such a matter also served as a warning to Lin Qingyue.

Today Zhou Tian can betray Mo Qingyan; tomorrow he could stab her in the back, betray himself, and even betray the Sect.

These days, she has also thought a lot.

Especially regarding these current matters, Zhou Tian and Yang Jun are both people she holds in her heart to compare one by one.

Her sole aim is to recover Zhu Province; compared, Yang Jun is actually more suitable.

That is why Lin Qingyue leans even more toward Yang Jun.

Moreover, Zhou Tian's current actions seem to be aimed at dealing with Yang Jun, making him a lackey of the emperor.

Based on this point, the matter needs to be reconsidered.

The smoother Zhou Tian's progress and the higher his official rank, the more likely he is to only look out for his own interests.

On such matters, his character has long been decided and will not change in any other aspect.

In fact, Yang Jun's situation leads Lin Qingyue to believe she can become allies with Yang Jun.

I am an exiled princess, and Yang Jun is a fallen heir.

On them both, their greatest enemy is Yun Fengyun.

Lin Qingyue can certainly see the current situation, which is not at all friendly for Yang Jun.

A moment's inattention could mean death.

Yun Fengyun is a mighty threat hanging over their heads.

I and Yang Jun, precisely because we have such a common enemy.

Then, the enemy's enemy can be a friend.

That is why Lin Qingyue is willing to approach Yang Jun.

Moreover, between her and Yang Jun, there is actually no hatred or grudge.

The relationship between them can still be sorted out; if they get a step closer, it would be their union, and this relationship could also be elevated.

With all these considerations, many things here must be paid attention to.

Only when we have properly settled all this can such problems truly be considered appropriate.

After staying a few days at the Prince's Mansion, Lin Qingyue's mood has also changed.

The environment here is actually quite good.

Every day I can banter with Mo Qingyan and Leng Qingyue, competing for favor, and there's also a foolish princess there whom I can toy with at will.

"Zhou Tian, you dare to frame my Prince's Mansion, disturb the king's peace—what crime do you deserve?"

Yang Jun spoke coldly, questioning Zhou Tian.

"The imperial edict is here!"

Zhou Tian hastily produced the imperial edict again; this is his greatest reliance.

"The imperial edict orders the capture of Mo Qingyan and Yang Jun; you are now defying the edict—do you understand?"

"As for whether there is any evidence, it must be decided to take you back; everything will be settled in due course!"

"If you are innocent, you will surely be vindicated!"

"Quick, someone, seize Yang Jun!"

Zhou Tian gritted his teeth and swiftly issued the order.
