The Destiny of Love in Ancient Times
A Mysterious Old Book

"IT's a gift BOX from the house of the deputy general of Pei." Hyou opened the binding cloth that wrapped the box.

"The home of Pei's deputy general? Why send this?" the question is a bit funny.

Qing Mao did not need anything in fact, including gifts. He had even forgotten about Madam Pei whom he had helped on the day of the masquerade party.

"Maybe a thank you?" Hyou didn't know either. But just a rough guess.

“Thank you?” muttered the girl immediately frowned. “What is it?”

“Wait a minute.” Hyou immediately opened the box that was wrapped in cloth. When he opened the not-so-thick wooden box, he sighed.

Qing Mao did not care about anything, yet she was curious, what kind of item was actually sent by the vice general's residence? Hyou took out a thing wrapped in cloth again inside. Looks neater and made a complicated knot. The two looked at each other before Hyou finally opened the cloth that wrapped something again.

If noticed, it seems like a book or something related to information. After the cloth was opened, a worn-out book cover appeared. No writing on the cover, just plain brown paper. When Hyou opened the contents, it was also empty. There is no writing or pictures in it. It makes the man feel strange.

“What's up? What's written in it?” qing Mao asked curiously.

“Cosong.”

“Cosong? What do you mean?” The girl just did not understand what Hyou meant by 'empty'. It was only after the man gave the book away that Qing Mao opened a random page.

He took it seriously until he opened a few other pages, but ....

"What is empty? There's clearly writing." He said with a feeling of wonder. Did Hyou read the wrong page? Her thought.

“Isn't there nothing in it?” the man asked a little less sure whether Qing Mao could see anything or not in the book. "I just saw an empty page."

"Cannot be. It's not empty. Lots of writing in it. It doesn't seem Chinese. But I kind of understand what all this weird language writing means." The girl flipped through the pages of the old book and read a few lines.

Qing Mao felt astonished, why would she be able to read and understand a language she had never learned before. Even Hyou herself was stunned, seeming to be recalling what had actually happened.

The man's mind seemed to have ventured into the past before this epoch existed. Then remember something related to ancient books and ancient languages before the Chinese script was introduced. Possibly ....

Once again, Hyou looked at Qing Mao with shock on her face. Could it be that Qing Mao could understand the ancient language?

"Hyoung? Hyo? Are you all right? If you don't believe it, I'll read it to you," he said as he looked at the white-robed man's face as a bit pale.

Hyou blinked and went back to reality if Qing Mao might still have such talent. Really hasn't changed. If Qing Mao could read it, Gu Yihao should be the same. Therefore, Hyou intended to invite the man here.

After Hyou refused to let the girl recite it, she walked into the house. There's something to be done. While Qing Mao narrowed her eyes and noticed the worn out book she was holding. Why did the house of deputy general Pei send this?

"What happened and what does this have to do with me? I felt like I had never lived in this age but had not died in this age either" he muttered, closing the old book.

He was too lazy to read the strange book and called Dong Mei and Fan Chen to go to the longevity noodle shop. He also wanted to buy some things but did not want to leave. So he told them both to leave.

After giving the order, he got up while holding the old book. It was better that he kept it first before he really knew what the obsolete book function was. It seems that he should go to see Madame Pei. She wanted to know what reason made Madame Pei hand the old book over to her.

While entering the house, Hyou seemed to have told someone to send a letter on her behalf.

"Who are you sending the letter to?" It was unusual for Qing Mao to see the calm Hyou, suddenly behaving a bit strangely.

"For king Yi."

"Gu Yihao? Why did you send her a letter instead of going to her? He knows who you are, doesn't he?" The girl climbed the stairs towards the second floor without seeing what her expression was like.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

The Palace of King Yi.

Doctor Piao was still wondering who had once saved Gu Yihao. Especially about the sparks. Despite having questioned Gu Yihao periodically, but still not getting any answers. Even the two dark guards—Xu Ren and Xu Ran were speechless as well.

Right now, Gu Yihao was in his study room unrolling the report letter. He was quite busy after letting the soldiers under his command now be taken care of by Gu Huiling. He hasn't been able to hold the soldiers since the last incident of the crown prince conspiracy.

"Your Majesty," Xu Ren said from outside the door.

"What's wrong?" tanyakanya.

"There's a letter from the Qing residence."

"Lake in." Gu Yihao kept the scroll and let Xu Ren come.

When his dark guard came, immediately handed him a letter. Gu Yihao frowned. The writing on the envelope was not the result of Qing Mao's graffiti, but Hyou's. He did not know what the man needed now. After which, he let Xu Ren out first.

Gu Yihao opened the envelope and took out a piece of paper. While reading the contents, she was silent for quite a long time and thought that Hyou had something to tell her. But not in the letter. Therefore, he immediately got up and justified the zaoshan, before finally intending to go to Qing Mao's house.

Outside the study, Xu Ren and Xu Ran waited. When he saw it coming out, his two dark guards immediately faced. They wanted to say something but were cut off by Gu Yihao's words.

"Go to Qing's house" he said.

"Uh, that .. but Your Highness, the problem in the military barracks—"

"Let the other princes take care of it," Gu Yihao said of the foolish period. He passed both of them calmly.

"..." - ".Does the King not want to lead an army again? Thought those two dark guards were a bit helpless. In the end just watching from the shadows.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

The Qing Mao residence.

Hyou prepared lunch and arranged it on the dining table. Not to mention, Dong Mei brought a pack of longevity noodles to the girl's order, handing them over to Hyou.

The man called Qing Mao to come down and eat first before continuing to read his novel. Yet the moment Qing Mao came with a dazed feeling. Hyou frowned.

He prepared dishes and rice for Qing Mao. "What's wrong with you?" tanyakanya.

"I've been feeling weird for the last few days."

"Any?"

"Yes, it was like someone was watching me while sleeping" honestly, sitting in the chair provided.

Hyou narrowed her eyes and thought that it was likely that the person wearing the black jade ring was still lurking around the girl. Hyou started to feel uneasy and maybe she guessed something at the moment.

"Mr ... It is better to allow the eleventh prince to stay here for a few days. How about that?" hyou asked out of the blue making Qing Mao want to spit out the water she was drinking.

The girl looked at Hyou with confusion and disbelief. "Hyou, are you possessed by something? Why would he stay here?"
