Yun Lingchuan smiled gently and said, "The sooner you die, the sooner you can be reborn."
The Princess Consort added, "I just want to talk to you about a few things; it's not about sending you into danger."
This made Hong Yu feel even more guilty, and he sought excuses to avoid going.
Yun Qingyu glanced over and said, "Qilin, Wen Zhan, you two are responsible for escorting him to the study. If you waste This Palace's time, I will punish you by not allowing you to eat for three days."
With that, she stepped through the door, leading Xin Yao toward the Eastern Pavilion. Ignoring the Eldest Princess's orders would have serious consequences. Wen Zhan and Qilin spoke in unison, "Don't make us take action; just walk on your own."
Moments later, in the study, Hong Yu nervously looked at Yun Qingyu sitting in the chair and called out softly, "Your Highness."
Yun Qingyu asked directly, "Hong Yu has decent skills; who is your master?"
Hong Yu instinctively wanted to evade the question or play dumb. However, meeting Yun Qingyu's cold and calm gaze made him realize that lying would only lead to trouble.
He pouted and replied, "My martial arts were taught by my master. He said I am too dull-witted to be trained properly and instructed me never to reveal his name to avoid tarnishing his reputation."
Yun Qingyu looked at Hong Yu with indifference and asked, "Who is your master?"
Hong Yu shook his head. "My master has ordered me not to disclose his name."
Yun Qingyu smiled lightly and said, "This Palace will ask you one more time: who is your master?"
Hong Yu felt embarrassed, caught between saying something and saying nothing, contemplating how to act cute to get out of it.
Yun Qingyu spoke lightly, "Do you need to be coerced?"
Hong Yu shook her head repeatedly. "I'm delicate and can't withstand harsh treatment. Your Highness, could you please show me some mercy?"
Yun Qingyu turned slightly to look at Xin Yao, asking, "What methods does the Hidden Pavilion usually employ for uncooperative prisoners?"
Xin Yao cooperated with Yun Qingyu, detailing various tortures that were too gruesome to bear. After several rounds of intimidation, Hong Yu thought that telling Eldest Princess now wouldn’t matter much, and she pouted in grievance.
"I'm not intentionally hiding anything; Your Highness just wanted to maintain a bit of mystery. Since you insist on asking, I’m willing to be an honest child. I come from the fief of King Yu, and my father is uncle Zhan, who is well-respected and skilled in divination and predicting the future."
Yun Qingyu interrupted her immediately. "You are uncle Zhan's daughter?"
Hong Yu nodded vigorously. "Yes, yes!"
Yun Qingyu expressed surprise, "Then why have I never seen you before?"
Hong Yu scratched her head and replied, "I was younger back then and shy about meeting people. I spent most of my time at home studying techniques and such."
Yun Qingyu raised an eyebrow. "If that's the case, why were you bought by Western Qi Princess to be an Attendant?"
Hong Yu's eyes sparkled. "Didn't I just say? My father is beloved by everyone, charming like a flower, and skilled in divination..."
Yun Qingyu waved his hand and said, "Stop. This Palace understands the identity of the Qilin. Do you know?"
Hong Yu frowned and replied, "Isn't he just the Illegitimate Son of the Northern Protectorate Prince?" Yun Qingyu fell silent for a moment.
He then asked, "Does the Qilin have any other identities?"
Hong Yu shook his head. "I don't know, but my intuition tells me that he is just as loyal to His Highness as I am, deeply infatuated and emotionally invested."
After pondering for a while, Yun Qingyu allowed Hong Yu to kneel in peace. However, Hong Yu lingered, reluctant to leave, rambling on and on. Yun Qingyu directly called Xin Yao to throw him out.
As Xin Yao was about to make a move, Hong Yu quickly stepped back and said, "Don't come over; I'll leave on my own."
