The forest was serene, bathed in gentle moonlight.
Xiang Ying's phoenix eyes harbored a somber hue. "What have you been hiding from me?"
"Actually, Fang Qian was someone I sent to get close to you," Xiang Li confessed with an ashamed expression.
"Why would elder brother do such a thing?"
"At that time, you were acting recklessly, indulging in countless male concubines. I was afraid you'd fall into depravity, so I wanted someone by your side, hoping that if you developed feelings for him, you would no longer obsess over beauty day and night."
Xiang Li sighed, "Indeed, you showed a liking for Fang Qian, but he just became one of the many male concubines."
"All I could do was remind Fang Qian to advise you more when he was with you. Unexpectedly, not long after he did as I instructed, he fell out of favor with you."
Xiang Ying remained silent.
In fact, Fang Qian wasn't out of favor; he was reassigned by the original owner to train the Death Soldiers.
