ngzhu, who was standing beside Qin Luoyan, whispered to her: "This is the wife of the Censor. The Censor is a position responsible for overseeing the conduct of all officials. However, this position i...Inside the box's secret compartment, there was a sheepskin parchment, only the size of a hand. It was covered in strange lines, seemingly incomplete, so it was impossible to tell what it depicted. If someone else had found this thing, they would have racked their brains trying to understand it, let alone know its importance.

But Qin Luoyan wasn't an outsider. She had once been an international weapons design expert, and just recently, she had seen similar papers and drawings.

"It's actually a blueprint for the Lianji Crossbow!" Qin Luoyan was secretly surprised. She hadn't expected to get such a blueprint in this situation. Even Fu Zimu valued it, where could something like that be measured with just money

With Fu ZiMo's overwhelming power, he only obtained fifteen pieces of the map. It was evident that obtaining these maps was no easy feat. And now, she had managed to get her hands on one.

Qin Luoyan pondered for a moment, her mood instantly turning heavy. If this picture was so important, then her obtaining it might not be a good thing after all. The old man went back to borrow money, even if he didn't have any other intentions, what about the people behind him Would those people be as agreeable as the old man

Thinking this way, Qin Luoyan quickly took out her brush and ink, carefully copying the drawing on the sheepskin paper. Then she put the sheepskin paper back in the secret compartment. She carefully wiped away any trace of her having opened the box, hoping to get away with it.

"Miss Qin, the Wangye is looking for you."

Outside the door, came the voice of General Jin Mu.

Qin Luoyan responded with a sound, hurriedly packed up the box and followed Jin Mu towards the backyard.

The inn had been taken over, with soldiers standing at attention everywhere. When the soldiers saw Jin Mu, they all saluted and greeted him. Jin Mu simply responded with a few indifferent words. Such coldness resembled Fu Zi Mo in a few ways.

From afar, Qin Luo'yan could see that Fu Zi Mo’s room door was ajar. Fu Zi Mo stood with his hands clasped at the threshold, a vase of flowers in front of him. The flowers were stunningly beautiful, but Qin Luo'yan couldn't recall their name.

Fu ZiMo, with a face that could rival heaven's beauty, stood before a vase of vibrant crimson flowers. This artistic arrangement only served to heighten his alluring and bewitching aura.

Jin Mu brought Qin Luo Yan to the door and stopped. Qin Luo Yan curtsied, then walked past him to stand before Fu Zi Mo. "I wonder what brings His Royal Highness to call for me"

Fu Zi Mo didn't rush to speak, but casually raised his hand, twirling the blooming flowers. "Do you know what kind of flower this is"

"I don't know." Qin Luoyan shook her head.

“Its name is Ci. It blooms only once every three years. When it blooms, it resembles a girl crying, pitiful and moving. It's very beautiful, isn't it” Fu ZiMo’s voice was light and calm, one couldn’t tell what he truly meant. However, Qin LuoYan knew that Fu ZiMo was someone who never wasted words, so she waited quietly for him to continue.

"But look," Fu Zimo said, his fingertip touching the petal. A magical scene appeared instantly. The petal wilted at the moment it was touched, losing its luster and falling piece by piece. "It's very fragile, can't withstand any touch. A merchant passed by earlier, I happened to pass by and bought it, just to see when it withered."

Qin Luoyan twitched the corner of her mouth, not saying a word. She thought he was going to say he bought it to appreciate the beauty of the flower. It was also possible, after all, appreciating flowers wasn't something that seemed like something Wuxuan Wang, who was known for being cold and ruthless, would do.

"What do you think, how do you compare to this flower" Fu Zimu raised his head and asked when he saw she still hadn't spoken.

"Um…" Qin Luoyan became even more confused by his actions. "In the hands of Your Highness, I am as fragile as this flower. Your Highness, are you saying that you want to release me, just to watch me wither"

"Hmph," Fu Zi Mo chuckled lightly, waving his hand to have the wilting plant taken away, "You're quite clever, but don't try to be smart in front of this king. Because, this king doesn't like it."

Qin Luoyan sighed and patted her body, "Your Highness, you called me here, wouldn't it be to talk about this flower with me Just say what you want to say, okay"

She couldn't stand this roundabout way anymore, it was like holding your breath, you can't die, but you can't live either.

Fu Zimu's thin lips pursed into a fine line, his eyes fixed on her intently, as if trying to see something from her face. After a long while, he said: "Today, have you seen Xu Ge Lao from Tiangji Pavilion"

"Master Xu Ge Tiangji Pavilion" Qin Luoyan looked puzzled, "Your Highness, I don't understand what you're saying. But today when I went out, you had people following me. Didn't you see everything I saw Oh, right, I did meet a strange old man, but I have no idea who he was."

Fu Zi Mo walked out of the porch and into the courtyard, his steps slow and graceful. He walked a few steps before turning back and asking: "Well, you don't recognize me, but you got what he wanted."

"Does Your Highness mean this box" Qin Luoyan took out the box and casually handed it forward. "It's just an empty box. I just opened it to take a look. There's nothing special about it. I estimate that this box is only meaningful to him, but for others, it's just a useless thing."

Fu Zi Mo took the box, turning it over in his hands. Qin Luo Yan had already reached out her hand, "After you've finished looking, please return it to me. I promised that old man that as long as he brought the box, I would give it back to him. A person can't lose their credibility."

Fu Zi Mo did not give the box to her, but turned around and handed it to Jin Mu, instructing: "If someone comes looking for it, you go and trade with them."

Kimu received his orders and walked away with the box.

Qin Luoyan stood dumbfounded, her eyes wide. She took two steps forward and stopped in front of Fu Zimu, "Your Highness, the box was bought by me. It's my possession, you can't be so domineering!"

"Oh Then who gave you the money to buy the box As far as I remember, your silver, your clothes, even you… they all belong to me!" Fu Zimuo let out a cold snort, taking a step forward and looking down at her face.

Two pairs of eyes locked in close proximity, as the night deepened, an inexplicable sense of ambiguity arose, causing one to blush and feel their heart race uncontrollably.

Qin Luo'yan swallowed nervously, instinctively taking a step back. Who knew Fu Zimu suddenly smiled, strode forward, and encircled her waist with one hand. "It seems you've forgotten what your status is beside this king!"

"Fu Zimo! What are you trying to do" Qin Luoyan panicked, this man was a wild beast who could go into heat anytime.

"To utter my name directly is a capital offense. If you don't want to die, just serve me well!" After finishing his sentence, Fu Zimo pulled Qin Luoyan into the room, leaving only a few withered flower petals on the ground.
