Chapter 203 Late Night Visit
The night was deep, and the bright moon was like water, shining on the corridor of the palace, reflecting two slender figures.
Feng Qingyue and Lan Xuanming walked side by side, the night breeze blowing gently, bringing a hint of coolness.
"Lanxuan, don't be like this. Actually, you are not my uncle." Feng Qingyue suddenly spoke.
Lan Xuanming glanced at her sideways, his eyes flashing with concern and confusion: "Ayue, why did you say that just now?"
Feng Qingyue paused slightly and looked up at him, a complex expression in her eyes: "Your Majesty, you are not my uncle. There are some things I cannot explain to you yet. Once I find out the truth, I will explain it in detail."
Lan Xuanming frowned slightly, his eyes filled with confusion. "Ayue, what exactly are you investigating? Why can't you even tell me? I'm your relative, don't you trust me?"
Feng Qingyue lowered her head and spoke in a suppressed voice, "Your Majesty, I'm not trying to warn you, but this matter involves so many things. The more you know, the worse it will be for you. I don't want to involve you in this."
Lan Xuanming's face darkened, his eyes filled with displeasure. "Ayue, although I am the king, I am also your relative. No matter what you are investigating, I should know. I can help you investigate the affairs of the Zizhu family, so why are you hiding it now?"
Feng Qingyue raised her head, her eyes firm: "Your Majesty, it is precisely because you are a relative that I don't want to embarrass you."
Lan Xuanming was silent for a moment, his eyes revealing a complex emotion. Finally, he sighed, "Ayue, you always shoulder everything alone. Have you ever thought that I am willing to face everything with you?"
Feng Qingyue's eyes flashed with gratitude, and she whispered, "I appreciate your concern, Your Majesty. However, this matter must be investigated by me personally. Once the truth is revealed, I will tell you frankly."
Lan Xuanming stared at her, feeling both helpless and pity. "Ayue, I'm not in a rush to find a solution, but you must promise me that no matter how difficult the road ahead, you won't endure it alone. I will always be by your side, supporting you."
Feng Qingyue nodded slightly, with a hint of fatigue: "Thank you, Your Majesty. I will remember this."
Lan Xuanming patted her shoulder gently, his eyes soft, "It's late, go back and rest first. I will arrange to investigate the Zizhu family's affairs, and if there is any news, I will inform you as soon as possible."
Feng Qingyue nodded gently, her tone full of gratitude: "Thank you, Your Majesty. Ah Yue will take her leave."
She turned and left, her back looking stern and a little tired.
Lan Xuanming watched her go away, his eyes complicated and his heart filled with determination. He whispered to himself, "Ayue, no matter what you do, I will stay by your side and never leave you."

At the same time, hurried footsteps were heard in the night sky.
A guard hurried out of the study, looking panicked: "Master, the Black Blood Cult's deputy leader, An Mu, is here to see you!"
The man frowned slightly and looked up at the guard: "An Mu? Why is this person here?"
The guard said anxiously, "He said he has something urgent to discuss with you. It's a matter of great importance and he must see you immediately."
The man put down the file, a cold look flashing in his eyes: "Send him in."
The guard responded, "Yes, Master!"
A moment later, An Mu appeared in a black robe. He was thin, had an extraordinary demeanor, walked lightly, and had a stern face.
When he saw the man, he smiled and saluted: "Greetings, Your Majesty."
The man sneered, his eyes deep, "Master An, why are you visiting my residence so late at night? What's the matter?"
An Mu looked straight at him, his tone calm but full of meaning: "Your Highness, I am here to cooperate with you on behalf of the Black Blood Cult."
The man smiled contemptuously: "An Mu, what makes you think I would form an alliance with the Black Blood Cult?"
An Mu was unhurried, his eyes gleaming with intelligence. "Your Highness, please think about this. The orphan of the Zizhu family is still there, and the secret behind it is something that happened twenty years ago that you don't want anyone to know."
The man's face darkened instantly, his eyes as cold as ice, hinting at a storm. "How do you know this?"
An Mu smiled and said, "I have my own intelligence network and just happened to learn about this matter. The orphan of the Zizhu family is still alive. You obviously don't want this news to be leaked, especially the events of twenty years ago."
The man looked solemn, with a hint of nervousness in his heart: "What do you want to say?"
An Mu's eyes flickered slightly, and he spoke calmly, "If we work together, I can help you find the whereabouts of the orphan of the Zizhu family, and you won't have to put in any extra effort. The Black Blood Cult and I are willing to handle all the complicated matters for you."
The man was silent for a moment, his heart in turmoil.
An Mu's words touched the secret deep in his heart, and the past that had been buried for many years surfaced again.
The man took a deep breath and finally spoke: "If the orphan of the Zizhu family is really as you said, there are certain things in the past that I don't want to talk about again."
An Mu nodded slightly, his eyes full of understanding: "An Mu understands that you don't want this matter to be exposed. Because of this, our cooperation is particularly important. The Black Blood Church will keep all secrets for you."
The man snorted coldly, "You Black Blood Cult are always very careful and meticulous. It seems you already knew the inside story."
An Mu smiled faintly, "Your Highness is absolutely right. This cooperation will definitely be mutually beneficial. If you are willing to cooperate with us, the Black Blood Cult will be able to clear all obstacles for you."
A cruel look flashed in the man's eyes, and his tone was cold: "Okay, in that case. You must first find the orphan of the Zizhu family and bring him back."
An Mu's eyes flashed with a sharpness, and he nodded lightly: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, we will definitely get it done."
The man's eyes were like knives, and he said coldly, "If you fail to complete the task, you know the consequences."
An Mu nodded firmly: "I understand."
Before he finished speaking, An Mu left quickly and disappeared into the night.
The man stood there and whispered, "It's been twenty years. After all, it can't be buried forever. No matter what, everything must be silenced."
