"This place is quite nice, but it's a bit sunny."
Sima Tianhai glanced around at the scenery and said to Xin Yeheng beside him. Hearing this, Xin Yeheng couldn't help but twitch his eyelids, afraid that the old fox would see through his little scheme.
"Let's go inside and take a look first. If it's not suitable, we can change rooms. What do you think, Grandpa?" Xin Yeheng smiled faintly, and the corner of his eye fell on the brightly blooming Chinese roses on one side. The colorful sight blurred his vision.
Accompanying Sima Tianhai into the room, Xin Yeheng wore a smile on his face. But if Sima Tianhai had taken a closer look, he would have seen the panic in his eyes. Sima Tianhai surveyed the layout of the room, which was similar to his own. He didn't expect that his grandson was so considerate and had specially decorated the room to his liking.
"This place is really nice. I like it very much."
"I'm glad you like it, Grandpa. You can rest here first. I have to go to the Imperial Study to study now."
Hearing this, Sima Tianhai frowned slightly. "You're going to the Imperial Study to study? Why did they ask you to go there?"
"The Emperor asked me to go. He said that as a prince, I should read more books. He also told me to learn martial arts from Ge Zian and the others."
Hearing this, a smile played on Sima Tianhai's lips. "Really? It seems that you've been very successful, Heng'er. Xin Zizhao and the others trust you so much and value you so highly."
"Huh?" Xin Yeheng looked at Sima Tianhai, looking completely confused.
"If Xin Zizhao and the others didn't value you, they wouldn't have asked you to study in the Imperial Study or asked Ge Zian to teach you martial arts. Maybe the throne will soon be yours. You really are my grandson. You've managed to infiltrate the enemy's camp and make them willingly hand over the throne to you. You're really clever."
"Really? I see."
As soon as he said this, Xin Yeheng couldn't help but complain about Sima Tianhai in his heart. Who's your grandson? If it weren't for your ambition, my mother and I wouldn't have ended up like this. I must avenge my mother! Even if you're my mother's father, I won't let you off easily!
Thinking this, a flash of bloodthirsty light quickly passed through Xin Yeheng's eyes, but it disappeared soon. As soon as he saw Sima Tianhai turn around and look at him, Xin Yeheng immediately put on a smiling face. "Grandpa, you can rest here well. I'll leave first. If you need the room to be cleaned, just let me know. Don't go out casually here, or our plan will fall through if we're discovered."
Considering the importance of the matter, although Sima Tianhai was not very willing to stay in the room all the time, he still agreed to Xin Yeheng's request. "I know. You can go and do your business."
"Then I'll leave first."
As soon as the door of the room closed, Xin Yeheng's smiling face disappeared instantly, replaced by a strong killing intent. He turned around and left the East Courtyard. The wind behind him blew the Chinese roses in the yard, scattering the petals all over the ground.
That night, all sounds were silent. Large areas of dark blue colors were spreading across the sky. The thick clouds were gathered together by the wind, blocking the bright starlight.
Xin Yeheng carried the dinner to Sima Tianhai's room. He knocked on the door politely. "Grandpa, it's me. I've brought you dinner."
After a while, Sima Tianhai replied, "Come in."
Pushing open the door, Xin Yeheng saw Sima Tianhai sitting cross - legged on the big bed, seemingly practicing internal skills. He didn't dare to look directly at him, for fear that his gaze would be caught by Sima Tianhai. "Grandpa, come and have dinner. Otherwise, the food will get cold."
He put the food on the tray on the table. The tempting smell of the food was attracting Sima Tianhai. Sima Tianhai opened his eyes and looked at Xin Yeheng. "You eat first."
"Okay."
Almost without hesitation, Xin Yeheng sat down and ate the food in front of him slowly. Seeing that Xin Yeheng showed no signs of any problem, Sima Tianhai then came over to eat.
This old fox is really as cunning as ever. He even asked him to eat first to test if the food was poisoned. Fortunately, he didn't put any poison in the food. Otherwise, it would surely be him who would be poisoned.
Xin Yeheng never intended to kill Sima Tianhai in this way, because Sima Tianhai was too suspicious. All things had to pass through someone else's hands before they reached his.
"Is the taste of the food okay? Do you want me to ask someone to change it tomorrow?" Xin Yeheng served a bowl of soup for himself and Sima Tianhai respectively, and drank the soup in front of Sima Tianhai.
Sima Tianhai watched Xin Yeheng's actions silently. He nodded. "The taste is okay. Although it's not as good as the food in Qiangfeng Country, I can accept it."
"I'm glad you like it, Grandpa."
While Xin Yeheng was trying his best to entertain Sima Tianhai, Xin Zizhao and Wei Shuxuan were having supper in their room. Xin Zizhao looked at her. "Xuan'er, don't eat too much at night. It's not good for your spleen and stomach."
"I know, but I'm just hungry. What can I do about it!" Wei Shuxuan retorted unhappily. Although Wei Shuxuan usually ate a lot, she had been eating especially much recently. Xin Zizhao just thought that it was because Wei Shuxuan had been taking care of General Wei Tu too attentively recently.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew through the open paper window. Xin Zizhao quickly stood up and looked at the open window. Seeing Xin Zizhao suddenly stand up, Wei Shuxuan asked, "What's wrong with you?"
"Shh, don't talk. Just have your supper."
"Okay."
Wei Shuxuan had no choice but to lower her head and continue to have her supper obediently.
Just then, a white figure lightly flashed in through the window. "Long time no see. We meet again, Your Majesty of the Yulong Kingdom and Her Majesty the Queen."
"Bai Yue!" Wei Shuxuan, who was having supper, suddenly looked up and followed the sound. Sure enough, she saw Bai Yue climbing in through the window.
"Why are you here?" Xin Zizhao frowned. He didn't like this man very much.
"I'm just bored," Bai Yue chuckled. The half - mask was still on the upper half of his face, covering half of his good looks. But his straight nose and well - shaped lips were enough to show that this man was handsome. "By the way, I'm here to tell you that I've found Qi Ha'er. You don't have to worry. I've taken him away. Also, be careful recently."
"What do you mean by that?" Xin Zizhao didn't like it when people only said half of what they meant.
"Hehe, it means exactly what it says."
