A New Life Without Regret

Chapter 3

"For what else? To find something." Xue Zhengming said flatly. "The design of the Dongfang family tomb." Dongfang Qingyuan said coldly making the three people stare at him in shock.

"What do they need it for?" Xue Lingyuan asked displeased. "Royal Uncle left something for me in his tomb. What do you think they want?" Dongfang Qingyuan asked smilingly.

"Ignorant child. What could such an interesting grandfather leave behind?" Xue Zheng Ming grumbled. "For Lord Yue it is not interesting but for the two of them it might be as interesting as the royal seal of Emperor Xue Junhui." Lan Zhi Xuan said flatly.

Dongfang Qingyuan smiled faintly. "Grand uncle, why?" Xue Lingyuan asked confusedly. "You can call me A Yuan, no need to call me by such a title." Dongfang Qingyuan said smilingly. Xue Lingyuan was silent in surprise. Xue Zheng Ming smiled faintly. Lan Zhi Xuan shook his head.

"What are you going to do to Li Tao?" Lan Zhi Xuan asked seriously. "Wait for the right moment. When the time comes, you will know what to do?" Dongfang Qingyuan said winking at Lan Zhi Xuan. Lan Zhi Xuan massaged his temples dizzily. "You three immediately return to your places before Li Tao returns." Dongfang Qingyuan said flatly.

The three of them had no choice but to obey. Dongfang Qingyuan's mood was uncertain so no one knew what would happen next.

"Have you found Ming er's house?" Dongfang Qingyuan asked Qiu Ruiwen who came in. The door was closed. "I found it. It's not too far from White Mountain. Still in the capital area." Qiu Ruiwen replied.

"He didn't forget." Dongfang Qingyuan said smiling sadly. "Have you spread it?" Dongfang Qingyuan asked again. "Yes, then there is a letter from Liu Yue for you." Qiu Ruiwen said handing over a piece of paper. Dongfang Qingyuan read it and fell silent.

"Have you found Liu Mu?" Dongfang Qingyuan asked coldly. "He seems to be watching the Liang family. I heard rumors that Liang Yu will be appointed as Vice Minister in Ministry of Justice after his daughter's wedding." Qiu Ruiwen explained. 'He was indeed appointed as Vice Minister in Ministry of Justice but with Liu Yue's blood.' thought Dongfang Qingyuan angrily.

"I want you to keep an eye on his movements. We have little time left. Tell Liu Yue to wait for me at the Lily of Valley City riverbank. Choose a place that is a bit far from the crowds. Take a carriage that I rarely use and dress inconspicuously. I will take care of everything." Dongfang Qingyuan said as he stood up and looked out the window. "I understand." Qiu Ruiwen said as he left.

'This time I will save you. Even if my life is at stake. I will make them all pay a heavy price.' thought Dongfang Qingyuan.

[Water flows unhindered
Lantern lights illuminate the streets
The moon hangs beautifully in the night sky
Stars are scattered in the dark sky

Parting to meet again
Welcoming old acquaintances
Drinking a cup of wine
Not stopping until drunk]

The song was sung by children playing. In an instant this song became a sensation all the way to the palace.

Dongfang Qingyuan lay back on his bed as he stared at the roof of the inn. 'I miss Liu Yue and Hua Ling. I want to go back there soon.' thought Dongfang Qingyuan sadly.

---Second Prince's Residence---

"Why is there such a strange song all of a sudden? Is this the work of Dongfang Qingyuan?" Xue Yanzhong, the second prince, asked. "He has no other subordinates besides me. So it's impossible. If it was his work, then I would know." Li Tao explained.

"Of course, he is only allowed to bring someone. Of course, he will bring you." Xue Yanzhong said happily. "This is thanks to His Highness, if it weren't for His Highness, then he wouldn't have trusted me so easily." Li Tao explained.
