Chapter 353: The Madness Has Returned
The night was dark.
Not long after Qiu Ziyue and Leng Feng stepped out of the Prince of Jin's residence, Qi Yuxuan, dressed in night clothes, hurriedly chased after them.
"Twilight Sparkle, wait for me!"
Qiu Ziyue didn't say much, she just nodded slightly.
The three of them then headed straight for the residence of the Khitan delegation.
Upon arriving at their destination, Qiu Ziyue immediately said:
"Given the urgency of the situation, we can't rely on strategy anymore; let's just confront them head-on!"
Qi Yuxuan and Leng Feng both agreed without objection.
The three of them flew silently to the roof of the Khitan residence.
At this moment, Yelü Zhigu was also injured by Su Er's powerful palm strike and was resting in his room.
Qiu Ziyue rushed in front of her and shouted in imitation of Su Er's voice:
"Grandpa, I've been poisoned! Hand over the antidote now!"
Yelü Zhigu sneered upon hearing this:
"Don't even think about it!"
He then drew his sword and engaged Qiu Ziyue in battle.
Meanwhile, Shulü Mingyao and Shulü Minglie, having heard the commotion, rushed over.
However, they were stopped by Leng Feng and Qi Yuxuan respectively.
The fierce three-on-three battle then began.
However, whether in martial arts or strategy, the three Khitans were clearly no match for Qiu Ziyue and her group.
In no time, Qiu Ziyue had pinned Yelü Zhigu to the ground, held a knife to her neck, and coldly threatened:
"Give me the antidote right now, or I'll kill you right now!"
Yelü Zhigu, undaunted, raised his voice and said:
"Kill me if you want, we Khitans are never afraid of death!"
Qiu Ziyue's lips curled slightly, a half-smile playing on her lips, as she said:
"In that case, how about we make an exchange?"
Before she could finish speaking, she forcibly pried open Yelü Zhigu's mouth and shoved a pill inside.
"This elixir will make you, this beautiful high priest,..."
Before long, she'll become a wrinkled old woman, how about that?
"Will you choose to exchange medicine with me, or continue to fight to the bitter end?"
Yelü Zhigu's expression changed drastically; she knew full well that what Qiu Ziyue said was true.
After thinking for a moment, he finally gritted his teeth and said:
"you are vicious!"
He then obediently took out the antidote and handed it to Qiu Ziyue.
Qiu Ziyue took the antidote, turned to Qi Yuxuan and Leng Feng and said:
"go!"
He added:
"I'll take this pill back and try it first. If it works, I'll give you the antidote."
If that doesn't work, we're all finished! Bye-bye!
After saying this, the three quickly returned to the Prince of Jin's residence.
Back at the manor, Leng Feng carefully examined the antidote, smelled it, and after confirming its authenticity, immediately fed it to Su Er.
After half an incense stick's time, Su Er gradually recovered and repeatedly thanked Qiu Ziyue.
Qiu Ziyue smiled faintly, but said:
"Don't rush to give her the antidote. Let her taste the effects of the anti-aging pill before deciding whether to give her the antidote."
After saying that, she looked at Su Er and said earnestly:
"Get some rest. This time, the plan succeeded entirely because of your courage."
Su Er nodded, his eyes filled with loyalty and respect.
That night, inside the Khitan residence, Yelü Zhigu was probably already extremely anxious about the "elixir of youthful appearance".
Meanwhile, the Prince of Jin's residence was brightly lit.
After instructing the servants to take Su Er back to her room to rest, Qiu Ziyue found herself wide awake.
She sat in the hall, her eyes bright, and her face full of excitement as she spoke to Li Cunxu, Qi Yuxuan, and Leng Feng:
"I just went out for a walk, it was so exciting! I can't sleep at all now, how about we have a night out party!"
Li Cunxu asked, "What is a party?"
Qiu Ziyue clapped her hands and laughed:
"Ugh, you guys have such tense faces all the time, it must be exhausting for you. I'm about to burst!"
I want to have fun! A party means a gathering, right? Let's just do something fun today!
Li Cunxu looked at her with affection and nodded:
"Do whatever you want, I'll go with you. Anyway, Mom's gone to visit some distant relatives, she won't be able to help us."
Qi Yuxuan shook his head helplessly and sighed:
"My dear wife, you just can't get rid of this crazy side of you. You've been driving me crazy all these years, and I'm almost going to be a 'second-rate' person myself!"
Who are you calling crazy? Who are you calling stupid?
Upon hearing this, Qiu Ziyue immediately rolled up her sleeves and chased after Qi Yuxuan in the courtyard.
"I'll beat you to a pulp!"
Qi Yuxuan dodged while begging for mercy:
"My wife, no, no, no..."
The two chased and played around, their laughter echoing in the night sky.
Li Cunxu watched this scene, a slight smile playing on his lips, yet with a hint of disappointment, and said:
"You two, stop showing off your love and take care of my feelings, okay?"
"How could the Princess Consort of Jin be so disrespectful, laughing and joking in public?"
Upon hearing this, Qiu Ziyue stopped and turned to walk to Li Cunxu's side, winking mischievously.
"Cunxu, I'm sorry, don't be jealous. Are you done?"
Li Cunxu smiled gently, which was considered an admission of forgiveness.
Leng Feng chimed in with a smile:
"It's nice to have some liveliness. Ever since Qiu Langyu and Zhao Wanqing left, this place has felt so empty. It's been a long time since it's been this lively."
Qiu Ziyue clapped her hands:
“That’s right! Cunxu, tell the servants to bring all the pots, pans, and ladles from the kitchen. I’ll give you a rock drum performance!”
Li Cunxu was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter:
"Haha, Your Highness, what's this new gadget? I want to see it! I want to play with it too!"
At this moment, he seemed to have transformed back into the carefree Lu Yuanchangming.
Qiu Ziyue successfully pulled him out of the tedious political affairs and helped him rediscover that long-lost joy.
Seeing this, Qi Yuxuan and Leng Feng simply smiled at each other and said nothing more.
They had already witnessed Qiu Ziyue's "rock drum set" performance.
At this moment, she simply sat quietly, waiting to see how she would completely lead Li Cunxu astray.
Soon, the servants brought out the pot bottoms and iron plates from the kitchen.
A simple drum set was set up in the center of the courtyard.
She casually picked up an iron rod to use as a drumstick, and turned to Li Cunxu, saying:
"Modern rock music is very popular, and it's completely different from ancient music. Today I'll show you!"
Upon hearing this, Li Cunxu's eyes lit up, and he sat down on the small stone stool next to him with great interest.
Get ready to enjoy this princess's special performance.
Qiu Ziyue cleared her throat and suddenly started tapping away, while simultaneously improvising a song called "I'm Annoyed".
She sang as she tapped the strings:
I'm so annoyed.
I'm so tired.
Being busy with wits and battles all day is tasteless.
I want to sleep.
I can't.
Because bad guys always lurk at night.
At first, her voice sounded strange and her rhythm was unstable.
Li Cunxu was completely confused and couldn't help but ask:
"Your Highness, what is all this? It sounds so strange."
Qiu Ziyue didn't even look up, continuing to play her "drum set" and completely ignoring his question.
Gradually, her rhythm became more and more steady, and her singing became clearer and stronger:
I don't want to,
I don't want to.
You have to pretend to smile even when you're being schemed against.
I want to
I pursue,
A free and easy life
Even if it's just for one day!
At this moment, Li Cunxu gradually discerned the rhythm within it and discovered that this seemingly random melody actually contained a unique charm.
He couldn't help but hum along, and even improvised a few lines:
"I am the king,"
I am the Lord.
Sometimes, even when you're incredibly busy, you just want to cry.
Take responsibility
I will take responsibility.
We must hold on for the sake of the people's peace and tranquility!
The two sang in harmony, their coordination becoming increasingly seamless.
The servants in the Prince of Jin's residence initially rubbed their eyes and asked curiously:
"What is the Princess Consort of Jin doing at night?"
But when they heard the energetic singing and rhythm, they all joined in.
Some people clapped in agreement, some tapped the rim of their bowls with their chopsticks, and some even sang along.
The entire mansion suddenly became lively and bustling, filled with laughter and cheerful chatter.
Finally, Qiu Ziyue finished singing her self-composed song, "I'm Annoyed".
The audience erupted in enthusiastic applause and cheers.
"Your Highness, sing one more song! Sing one more song!"
The crowd shouted in unison.
Qiu Ziyue smiled and waved her hand:
"Alright, let's end the night party here!"
Everyone go back and rest; we still have work to do tomorrow!
Nevertheless, the crowd was still reluctant to leave, not wanting to part ways.
As Li Cunxu watched Qiu Ziyue's departing figure, a warm feeling welled up in his heart:
These are the nights that truly belong to their happy times.
Qi Yuxuan and Li Cunxu then tried to follow Qiu Ziyue into the bedroom one after the other.
"Snapped"
Qiu Ziyue quickly closed the door again, leaving the two incredibly handsome men outside to watch the stars.
