Why?
Mu Qingge’s eyes flickered slightly.
At this mont, Qin Jinyang stepped forward and said, "Brother Mu, I have co here just to say one thing: As long as Qin Country exists, so will the Mu Family. The Imperial Family will no longer have any second thoughts about the Mu Family, nor will they doubt or distrust the Mu Family because of any matter or person. The glory of Qin Country is to be shared with the Mu Family."
His eyes showed not a hint of falsehood, making Mu Qingge shift her gaze to Qin Jinchen: "Is this what you taught him to say?"
Qin Jinchen slowly shook his head.
He was just as surprised as Mu Qingge. His seventh prince brother had asked to see Mu Qingge just to tell her these words. Not only did it catch Mu Qingge off guard, but it also startled him.
It seems his seventh prince brother is even wiser than he knew.
Seeing Qin Jinchen’s denial, Mu Qingge looked at Qin Jinyang again. After scrutinizing him for a while, she said with so deeper aning, "You are very smart. It seems that under your rule, Qin Country will usher in a golden age."
Qin Jinyang showed a humble expression, a slight smile, without responding.
Neither denying nor confirming.
But both Mu Qingge and Qin Jinchen could see so ambition and confidence in his eyes.
This low-key young prince seems to be soone who is not content with diocrity.
Qin Jinchen spoke to Qin Jinyang with calm eyes resting on him, "Would Your Majesty kindly wait for in the carriage for a while?"
Qin Jinyang nodded and, after giving a family elder’s salute to Mu Qingge, left.
After he left, Qin Jinchen turned to Mu Qingge and said, "Changle has left. Before she left, she ca to to remove her na from the Imperial Family."
Qin Yiyao’s departure was sothing Mu Qingge had already anticipated. So, she didn’t show surprise, only responded with a calm "Hmm."
Her calmness caused a stabbing feeling in Qin Jinchen’s eyes, and he blurted out, "Why don’t you go and bring her back? If you can’t bear to part, don’t let it slip by. Changle is a good person."
This urgency broke through his usual calmness and solitude, adding a touch of humanity.
His words made Mu Qingge turn around, her clear eyes full of surprise. To her, the surprise was less about his strange behavior and more about the aning in his words.
"Qin Jinchen, since when did you beco so enthusiastic about matchmaking?" Mu Qingge sarcastically retorted.
Qin Jinchen’s eyes flickered with panic, and he lowered them to conceal it: "I just don’t want you to regret missing out. If that’s the case, then pretend I didn’t say anything. Farewell."
He turned and left decisively, as if angered by Mu Qingge’s provocation.
But he alone knew he was actually running away.
Enthusiastic about matchmaking? No, not at all. Once outside the Mu Mansion, Qin Jinchen smiled bitterly in his heart. When did he start feeling differently about Mu Qingge? It’s no longer as simple as before; he wanted to greedily watch her all the ti, accompany her. Sotis... when alone, he even wanted to embrace her?
This unfamiliar emotion frightened him. He resisted it, yet was constantly tempted by it.
So he wanted the matter between Mu Qingge and Qin Yiyao to settle, so he wouldn’t be lost in thought again. In the end, it was selfish of him, for the sake of restoring his heart to peace, he wanted to cut off that strange, inappropriate feeling. That’s why he was so enthusiastic about the matter between Mu Qingge and Qin Yiyao.
Otherwise, with his cold-hearted, indifferent, solitary nature, how could he beco so... like a matchmaker?
Calming his ssy feelings, the flawless expression of Qin Jinchen revealed nothing as he accompanied Qin Jinyang back to the Qin Imperial Palace.
That day, after seeing off Mu Xiong, Qin Jinchen, and Qin Jinyang, Chi Yun Garden returned to tranquility.
However, this tranquility did not last for many days before being disrupted by news from the frontier.
At dawn, as the bright moon was setting, Mu Qingge and Mu Xiong were hurriedly summoned to the Imperial Palace by an urgent decree from the court...
